ed. The Critic of Milwaukee, a weekly

in our new possessions, is a visitor in
Milwaukee. Herself and husband were

uities in the far away Sandwich Islands

tiers and sweethearts could not reach the
ear, nor the tender hand soothe the fe-
vered brow. there was one among the la
dies of the Hawaiian capital who appre-

equally entitled to their gratitude Mr.

Mercantile, Law and Financial Agency
and is also Honolulu correspondent for
Bradstreet's.
