the editor of the newspaper, Ell Ex-

was seated on his mistress's shoulder
one morning in the deck saloon of the
homeward-bound steamship Ionic.
The lee door of the saloon was open,
when some children threw open the
one ON the windward side and came in
with rush that startled the bird from
his perch. Unaccustomed to use his
wings, he was caught in the current
of wind and swept out of the saloon,
and, despite his own endeavors, in a
moment was over the side and adrift
in the northeast trades. For half an
hour they watched him, until be be-
came a black speck in the distance
and finally disappeared. This hap
pened in the latter part of August,
1888.

American bark Lapwing, from Rio tc

top exhausted and speechless, but,
under the care of Mrs. Startling, the
captains wife, he recovered his vigol

South American coast with his new
mistress. Some months ago the Lap
wing being at sea on a voyage from the
Chinese seas to New York, somewhere
south of the Cape of Good Hope, met
an American whaler, which asked fol-
fresh provisions and news. A boat

night, native living in Kamanuwai,

been going on all day and night in
that locality. He referred especially
to long building almost opposite ST.
Louis College on the Waikiki side Of
the stream. An officer was sent up
TO investigate and found there was
room for complaint. The people or
the vicinity were nearly all in that

school keeps or not. Fighting, swear

all the pet names they could muster

The uncle in Ceylon" has for years past done yeoman service in the mar ratives related by the ''spielers" and "magsmen" of the city to their moneyed dupes, but when a veritable native of the Indian isle fell into their clutches recently they hesitated to introduce him, and accordingly trotted out his "underStudy," the Well-knoWn Fijian planter, who has left untold riches to be divided among deserving persons who will put G100, or more, into hat held by two strange men in a back parlor of a second class hotel. Accord ing to the story-or rather one of the stories-told by James Weerasnoha, d Cingalese hairdresser, to the detectives, the substitute failed to acquit himself satisfactorily, so his heir and the in- evitable other man propounded a fur the victims wealth, and drugging the G252 from Weerasnoha's belt and es- caping. This is the gist of the several statements which the Cingalese made, withdrew and modified during his cross examination by the detectives, but as several of his statements have been found to be incorrect they regard the greater part of his story with eau tion. Weerasnoha has carried on a business for some years at Mount Nor gan, Queensland, and arrived in Mel bourne recel- tly by the R. M. s. Orotava on his way to Ceylon. His loss will not prevent him continuing his journey Melbourne Argus.
