That paner's I rose colored ix)litics nre the^only j kind it considers worthv of atten- | tion. since tao ; kangaroo feeds in the i government nianger, and it is really j " too bad that anv diflerent sort of jpolitics shon!d be forcal on puhlie | attention," Too bad, l>y jove, that ]anv one should darc'tn feel dissatisi ' fied and eomplain. when the ihillet£ngetsall the pap it needs! That the Llo declines to act as mermaid in the Bullc(in menngerie of beaver and kangaroo: because the beaver is only a muzzled eeho of waning powers, and the Eanga roo is losing caste because no one knows whether he will jnmp with hie short legs or his long when government pap is the incentive. ■; The mermaid prefers to court her | lovers among manly men of action | and character not with creepers. ;j That bv the manner in whieh " Hawaikn Poliliea" was drawn out in an evening contemporary of the j loth inst.. neople are led to think j that some of the Leo's articles, m its criticisms on spceches,! had afiected the Preinier's jaw and eve*tooth so biidly, it reqnired his! dentaK friend to draw the aching j tooth out with a two eolnmn poUiee I caUed Hawaiian Politics ■* instead tof one made pf u l)eaten Bpider» M with a deeaetlon of am a la Ha* jwaiian.

Thut the Bi'lletiiVs kt orb" is onl\worn out mirror, whose deficient quicksilver lining is incapable of reflectinganything bnt the ungainly contortions of the kangaroo. That the half starved condition and want 01 proper sleeping aeeommodation forced l\er Majesty's driver to retire from going on the tour around Oahu t substitating a gentle*nan lately from t Fayal 3 who was &ighly recommendcd as an expert ° with the ribbons on a pair of thoroughbred jackasses. The capsize and narrow escape of the Queen at Waialua has proven that the Fayal gentieman has not the same conunand over horses in driving; Tnat from Kahuku to Waialua quite a number of theQueen's party had to walk and carrv their luggnge with them, a distance of over fifteen miles. Many of them began to believe that all the country had not bowed the kr.ee to Baal, as the Leo had prophesied. But when the partv found that they \vere the ** firsfc to cross the Waimea bridge, sihce it was built," on fcot. as " the Queen wa» the first to ride over it, J * they felt they \vere not altogether withont hope, and were enabled to reach their destination.

Onlv fpr the ticket endorsed bv the missionary Reforiu Party. because the Nationai Party must be downed. But the ladies stoutly refused her Majcsty to do anything of the kind, preferring to dissolve the association rathcr than be tHitresses'. There are some women, thank God, who arc not rich either. that have the law of love implanted iu their hcarts, that not even selfish. sordidness ean make thern turn and betr«y one of nature$ lioiiest and nobWt gifts— love of corxTR\*!
