The resent attempt to incarce- ' rate tbe writers of Ka Leo was not the only time that Mr. Huntsman has seen the inside of a Hawaiian Jail for words spoken in eontempt of raissionary families. . Onee when he was teachingi school at a lovely country plaee called Papaikou, where the miul is I four feet deep, and the spirit of I mortals is aboat as vile as the | devil could wish, a remote Hitch ] eoek cousin had a half-Portuguese boy in that school and wanted to: run it and sts teacher. He called frequentlv for that purpose. The teacher appealed to the authorities, but in vain. Huntsman then informed the cousin that the neXt time he appeared in the school room he would be used to mop the flonr with. He was a small man with a good deal of hair and clothes and seemed just suited forthat purpose. F«r tbis he was arrested and when he arrived. in Hilo found that the family had gone up to their ranch above the timber line, so there was no one in town to take bail, and the polieeman had orders to lodge his prisoner in jail to wait the return of the reignmg fanaily. The polieeman was persuaded to wait at the Station House lill near night exi>ecting the return of somc Hitchcock to ta£e bail. At last HuMsman insisted on going to the poliee justice's house, though he was told th&t Hapai was not at home The judge was found eating his dinner.

"I suppose Hitchcock very mad to»morrow; too mueh huhu. ,> he fsaid as he put the money away. And tho prediction was fulfilled.
