The work has been dis played in Hollister's drug store and in Kings' art store, where good judges of art have scon it only to give it. favorable mention. Critic3, who do not take into account the modest claims of the painter, may find points wherein tho picture does not come up to the tenets of high art. Nevertheless there is no ques tion that a more than average order of talent is exhibited in the produc tion. It is, besides, such a manifest improvement over Mr. Stratemeycr's former treatment ot the same suu-, jeet, for advertising purposes, that hopes may be entertained of the artist shortly taking first rank among those who have essayed to portray tho natural wonders of the islands on canvas.

Crane, of the schooner Nettie Merrill, makes a statement in effect as follows: A week aco Monday he spoke the Hesperian in the channel, and her of Kahu I IUU3LU1 iioivti vuviuaiuuu lui. He was told, but seemed to doubt the information. Later the Hesperian anchored off Lahaina, and Mr. David Taylor boarded her and, after informing the captain of the whereabouts of Kahului,'lcft the vessel while she got under way. Just before the Nettie Merrill left Lahaina on Tuesday evening Mr. Taylor told Capt. Crane that the Hesperian had gone ashore at Kahu lui, last week, and on Monday last was sold at auction. The natives who came from the direction of Kahului confirmed the report. The 'Hesperian is brigaiitinc rigged and had 250 tons of coal from Pugct Sound. ROBBERY ON SHIPBOARD. A robbery that occurred night before last, and which was kept very quiet in hopes of catching tho culprit, leaked out this morning in spite of tlio keeping mum of inter ested parties. It appears that a man, nationality and color not known, entered the cabin of the tern Eva during the small hours of that night, and stealthily sought for plunder. The steward was the first to smell a rat, and arming himself with a murderous bulldog pistol ho proceeded to make a target of tho depredator. The robber, in hastily vacating the cabin, dropped his hat, a small brown felt with a hole in one side. Some ofthc plunder that had been gathered was also dropped, and tho thief, after being shot at three times, vanished in the dark noss with the whistling sound of a flying bullet ringing in his ears. Police officers are working up tlio caso with a hat for a clue and then it will probably end. POLICE COURT. Tuesday, Dec. 15th. Iloopii, SG ; Mana, 82 ; for drunks.

C."' pnvcd to set them light. Editou Bulletin: After woik ing my way, with a patience and perseverance worthy of belter re sults, through tho tangled jungles, dark labyiintliian passages mid mental vapoiings of which the to be continued effusion of my fiicnd, D. M. Crowley, is chiefly 'composed, I feel convinced that he lushed into print before ho had fully recovered from the debilitating and weakening effects of his recent evangelical, soul-saving and sole-blistering tramp over the rough lava, and among the benighted denizens and lethargic Christians of Hawaii. Having spent several months in aiding to subdue Captain Jack and bis savage band of hardy followeis among the lava beds of Idaho, during the Modoc war, I can propeily sympathize with fiicnd C, and would deem it unmanly to take nil vantage of his apparently enfeebled and intellec tually exhausted condition. 1 shall therefore content myself by treating him with all tho forbearance which my generous nature and kindly im pulses can on the present occasion afford. "Consenting to draw a lance with Nota Bene " for sooth I Judging from the many futile and feeble attempts he has made to place mo horn dc combat in this contro versy, I take it that he is better fitted by nature to draw a hand cart down hill than lm is to cope with mc on tlio question, of Prohibition, backed as I am by the giants Truth, Correct-understanding and Honesty Sit JPurrjose. I confess lnyseft'oiiiUvny Af J.U?ss whether to giggle or hiss at the mendacious arrogance of the person who sets himself up as a judge of the political influence or literary status of a world-wide circulating public journal, yet plainly shows by his own words that he is incapable of discerning the difference between a magazine and a weekly newspaper, and this is what friend C. plainly shows when he speaks of Harper's WccMy as a magazine! That gen tleman makes a very sad mistake when he flippantly insinuates that he is an older magazine reader than 1 am : and in seeking to belittle such leading journals as Harper's Weeldy and the Cincinnati Com mercial Gazette, he only succeeds in proving an ignorance in news paper matters that is truly appalling in a man of his literary pretentions. .With an elaborate display of garbled twaddle .and useless ycrbiage, he says I have laid myself upon to cen sure for attacking his beloved poli tical trickster, St. John, under the mask of a nom dejylumc. This is a 'mere bit of threadbare subterfuge and slurring which t was, long ago done to death by persons who had no other missile" within their reach. But the cream of the joke lies in the fact that, after berating mc for simply quoting what was printed in an Eastern paper against the Prohi bition chieftain, he, almost with the same breath, hurls a tirade of abu sive insinuations and malicious innu endoes at the head of Governor Hoadly, of Ohio, than whom there are no more honorable and straight forward public men to be found in America or elsewhere; and by all reliable accounts is "a tough man to challenge face to face." In com menting upon that gentleman, why did not Mr. C. reprint all of my short quotation from the Governor's speech? Was not this little morsel of strategic ctuining suggested by the well-known fact that the truth half told will ofttimes serve a pur pose much better than a direct false hood? I shall italicise and use his own burglarious jimmy of words, that he handles so deftly to force an en trance for the introduction of a pet mctljod of insinuation which he has adopted, and through which he hopes to steal away at least a por tion of Gov. Hoadly's good name, and will say that Mr. C. might have added: "But I am frequently com pelled to use, not only an alarming amount of sophistry, but also of argumentative inconsistency, in or der that I may keep up an appear ance of usefulness, and make my self solid with the very pious, but fearfully peevish, alarmists into whose good graces I havo worked myself, and whose well-stocked larders and large purses, filled to re pletion with the tangible results of their exposure to perils and ardu ous Christianising labors among tho harmless heathen, are to me attrac tions of no small consideration, and under whoso protection and liberal patronage I intend to fight it out for all the dollars and cents there are hanging to it." The vote in Ohio which friend C. cxultingly spreads before us as a prohibition victory, was obtained merely through the generosity of a largo portion of the prohibition opponents, who were anxious to settle the vexed question by allowing the people of each town, by constitutional amendment, to decide whether or not liquor should be sold within their limits. The vote taken in that State was on a local option law, and not on a prohibition law, ns Mr. 0, would have us bollovo. Tho Ohio election proved one fact very clearly, and that is, if both great parlies leave prohibition alone it will die suddenly and surely. l-SJjg For tho benefit, no doubt, of whomsoever it might concern, fiicnd C. patronizing!' informs his rcadcis that he is " not interested, pecu niarily, pro or con, in tho liquor business." If lie carpet-bagged it over the rough lava beds of Hawaii, lugging along those seven chailsof diopased stomachs and other piohi bilion paraphernalia, without tiny hope of pecuniary interest or bicad and butler consideration, then I agree, Mr. Editor, to visit your olllce and swallow all tho old roller composition of molasses and glue that your pressman can pile up be fore mc. This self-denying, self fdi getting, self-sacrificing, muck and would be effective animated batter ing ram for the pielcnteous few dyspeptics who constitute the main body of the grand corporal's guard of anli-frccdoiuites in our midst, also tells us blandly that he " hales sophistry on this question."

It is reported that Secretary Bayard has determined to present the Tehuantcpcc canal scheme to Con gress as the basis of a foreign policy which shall be distinctly American. The isthmus is 1(55 miles wide. An American company was at work there for some time up to last year on a railroad, the progress of which was stopped bj" the forfeiture of their land grauls to the Mexican Government. The President of this company was Edward Learned of Massachusetts, who says: "It is entiiely feasible to construct a canal across the isthmus. What this country ought to have is a treaty light over a stiip of territory there, say fifty miles wide. We should also have a fortress and naval station at Cape Catoche, on the outmost point of Yucatan. We have already one great defense in the gulf of Mexico, at the Dry Toilugus. With a fort at Capo Catoche, the gulf would be a land-locked sea and we would be able' to protect the Missis sippi and its tributaries from any foreign invasion. With a ship canal at Tehuantcpcc we could protect California mid Oregon and become absolutely unassailable. Besides, the canal would bring us all the trade of England that now goes to the East around the Cape of Good Hope or the Sue, canal." Kinton:.
