tho world conceded to Capt. B. Worden.
The Bohemian glass blower, who has
opened an exhibit in Cambell's Block, does
some beautiful work in the fragile material
he handler, so dexterously. By means of a
blow-pipe and & jot of flame he fashions
k almoa t anything with great skill and speed.
Ta the room aro some specimens of his
workmanship, amongst which aro a couple
of walking-beam enginca, wholly of glass
in full operation. The life-sized figure of a
lady in a spun-glass costumo is very hand
some, and the exhibition is well worth a
visit.
The test of the Ilarden Hand Grenade
(not Grandad, as tho Guide had it) took
place on tho Esplanade yesterday afternoon,
at 2 p.m. sharp. A screen of boards about 8
feet wide and 10 feet high was set up with
boards at tho fides, and against-this screen,
which was smeared with tar, was stacked a
quantity of dry wood, shavings, loose pack
ings etc., the whole being soaked in, kerosene
and daubed with tar, so that when a light
was applied tho whole burst into a mass of
ilamo that drovo back tho crowd of spec
tators to a distance of thirty or forty feet.
The wood burnt fiercely, and when the
whole mass was fairly burning, not tho oil
vnd tar alone, but the wood itself, Mr.
Myers, the agent, ran forward with a gren
ade in each hand and broke them against
each other so close to the flame that ho was
go:nwhat scorched in doing so. Tho effect
cf tho fluid with which they were filled was
nagical, the flames being extinguished as
cno would blow out a match, there being
nothing left burning but a few fragments
that tho application of tho contents of
another grenado entirely quenched. The
trial was s success in every particular, and
wa3 witnessed by a large number of our
citizens, representatives of the Fire Depart
ment and Insurance Agencies, being pro
r.iinerJ. All expressed thtir satisfaction a t
the working of the grenade, tho remark
being mado by many that the efficiency of
thi3 new fire-extinguisher was much en
hanced by the cleanliness of its work, there
being no damage by water, no viie smells
about it nothing, in short, to offend the
tteto of the mont fastidious.
On Sunday afternoon several Chinamen
were fishing for awa and amaama, at Ilaali
liamanu bridge, when they were arrested
by three policeman, and locked up. Wh,t

and chilly.
Dodd brought Steamer No. 2 down to the
head cf Kaahumanu street in fine style last
Saturday behind a span of powerful horses.
There should certainly be ono team drilled
for this special purpose.
The usual fire drill of steamei-s took place
last Saturday afternoon, and a large quan
tity of water was sent into tho low lying
clouds. Later in the evening it all came
down again in the form of a heavy shower.
A census agent complained 3'esterday that

; liver a blank the householder seized him by
' the wrist, hauled him out of the. yard and

for instructions, and received the reply
"Laissez aire.'
Tho trial of speed between the intor
sland steamers Kinau and W. G. Hall

to Maalaia Bay, as follows: Light-house,
ilouolula, at 4:12 p. k.; off Molokai light at
6:51; Eaunakakai light at 8 r. x.; .Lahaina
at 9:45, dropping anchor at Maalaia Bay at
10:55 p.m., beating the -W. G Hall by 32
minutes, that vessel arriving at the bay at
12:20 p. u. The time of the Kinau was C

ing an average of very riearly 14 miles per
hour.

A Handsome Map.
Mr.
M. D. Monsarrat has completed a
most elaborate and accurate map of Hono
lulu, showing every house, building, store,
the lamp-posts, water hydrants, lines of
piping, and every other fixture on a large
scale. The original is well worth examin
ing, and from it Mr. Monsarrat will print
copies for sale. It is the most useful and
accurate pieco of work of its kind ever
undertaken here, and will, no doubt, meet
with & large sale.
The Ilasselinau Concert,
Tho Farowell Complimentary Concert
given Thursday night in tho Y.M.C.A.Hall to
Mr. Chas. Hasselman prior to his departure
for the Colonies was well attended, and was
by far the best yet rendered by the Sym
phony Club and other amateur musical
talent of Honolulu.
Mr. Hasselinan himself was in-line voice,
and sang with great sweetness and feeling.
The brief space at our disposal in this issue
precludes tUe extended notice the per
formance deserves, and we can only speak of
the vocal gem of the eveaiug beiujj the duet
between M.ss Bemice Parke aud Mr. Haissel
man. Miss Castle's piano playing was es
pecially good, au 1, iu fact, the performers
all did well. Mr. HaoS-lman miy well be
proud of tha concert, to which his own
singing added much.

Probublc loMn or Che "Kalinin."
Mr. W. H. Hall has received a letter froni
Rev. P. Kanoa, writing from Butaritari
(Makins) Island, Gilbert group, under date
of Oct. 30th, in which lie says that he hears
that the schooner "Kaluna," Capt. LovellJ
has been wrecked on Mukunoa (or Byron's)
island, and gone to pieces. This is the same'
island that the "Julia" was wrecked upon,
and the "Kaluna" is the vessel that touched;
there and took off Capt. Tripp and crew.
The Printers Not Forgotten.
.Once more the employees of the P. C.
Aivekti8eii aro the recipients of a splendid
box of fruit from the enterprising firm of
Sresovieh, Gray A Co., through the courtesy
of their gentlemanly and well-known man
ager, Mr. Z. K. Myers. This firm is still
young in existence in Honolulu, but their
reputation for strict and honorable dealing
is second to none. Their stock of goods is
complete in every respect, and parties de
sirous of purchasing any of ,the staples or
delicacies of the season will do well to give
them a call. Their place of business is No.
73 Hotel street, where will be found attentive
and careful clerks, and all goods will bo de
livered free of charge.
Tho Teachers Convention.
' rr.
A number of the teaohers employed in on
Public Schools met yesterday in annual con-;
vention in the Y. II. C. A. Hall. Mr. M. M.;
Scott, Principal of. the Fort Street School
and President of the Association, presided,
and Miss Lula L. Moore, the Secretary, read
tho report. The President addressed the
members present, discussing the results fol
lowing the expending of publio monies on
the schools. He advocated a more thorough
education of deserving pupils in tho higher
branches.
Bev. Mr. Mackintosh, who has In charge
tho preparation of a new geography, asked ,
the assistance of his fellow-teachers in the:
werk of revising during the coming year.?
Election of officers being in order, the fol
lowing were chosen for the coming year :
H. S. Townsend. President ; Rev. W. C.
Merritt, Vice-President; Miss Lula L.
Moore (re-elected), Secretary.
Htfpon the suggestion contained in a letter
from Mr. Hitchcock, Principal of Lahaina"
lnna Seminary (who apologised for his un
avoidable absence) , a committee consisting
of Mr. Olesen, Dr. Hyde, and Miss Hardy,
was appointed to prepare resolutions for
discussion.
An interesting address by Mr. Moore
teacher at Wailuku, on the subject: "The
reaching of English o Hawaiians," was
delivered. This proved to be the most in
teresting portion of the day's proceedings,
and it is to be regretted that more of those
who are employed to teach the Hawaiians
English were not present.. A3 a contem
porary very shrewdly remarks, ' It is im
possible that the teachers present " (a..u we
Svill add tho absentees as well) " should not
be benefited by the ideas elicited in the lec
ture and discussion."
More Mystery !
After the style of the Hawaiian.
"The (60-called) Minister of the Interior
(heaven save the mark !) has at last adver
tised for bids for tho constructing of reser
voirs, dams, etc., for the storage and distri
bution ot water for Honolulu.
" There are two or three points displayed
in the advertisement in question which be
tray the narrow-minded, incapable, second-rate-bookkeeper's-clerk
calibre of mind of
the individual who occupies the post of
Minister of the Interior.
"First, he calls for sealed1 tenders.
There sticks out the secretive, keep-em-all-in-the
dark, hole-and-corner policy of the
present Administration. Sealed' tenders
forsooth I Why couldn't he come out (as
we would if we wero in his place), and with
a speaking trumpet in bis hand, mount so
to speak the quarter deck, and make his
wishes kuown ship-shape aud man-fashion ?
"Another point is this : The Minister of
the Interior holds , back this advertisement
until the raitis have ceased! Can anyone
believe now that he is nut as completely
under the control the Foreign Office as
ever his colleagues were? And then
again, he requires bonds ' to be given for
the faithful execution of the work 1 What
is this but an acknowledgement of the deep
feeling of distrust, the ever-widening breach
that exists between the Government and the
people. Why could ho not do as previous
Administrations have done, and let this
work to some honest ring without exacting
these humiliating terms? But, we don't
suppose ho will, so we wash our hands of the
whole affair, pipe all hands below, and turn
in."
