That the one "dig" a day will prove the Uulleim'a downfall, and the destruction i of its political supporters, while Ka Leo and the National Party will eome iu on the topcrest of popular su(frage and sweep awuy the Builetm debris, not exceptinglittle D&n and his antipode friend.

| That the P. C. Advertiser is justly indignant at the boyiBhness of the Premier, or perversouesB or fooliBhnese, or all three peculiar characteristics combined, — in ord- j ermg the Band to play ateomeother plaee than the one advertised. It *eems as if the addition of an Elder in the ministry, | in person j& the Minieter of Finance, bas"i>ot had the eflfeet tf> properly hallaai our youthfull Pitt» who BeemB bent by his aeliona to be knawn only aa

» That an old gentleman, jast J*etrirned from a yisit to CaHfornia, states that there is no plaee after all like Hawaii nei. That to a man like him, who onee said as he eame away from a prayer ipeeting, that hehad always looked upon adollar as being as big as at eart-wheel, we ean understand his reasons for appreciating the land of his adoption. There are quite a ,number*>f people who have returned to Hawaii for the same reason Wore hiin. v

That the Musical Recital at Kaumakapili last week lbrought before a Hoi)olulu audience no less than two recent acquisk.ions to tbe staff of that institution — Miss Dalej a delightful soprano songstress, and Miss Wink, an accomplished pianist, who illustrates the truth of the aboye suggestion: —It is happily no longer essential that a lady candidate for a plaee on that staff should have a face that would stop a eloek.

That the above referenee reminds us that the sa-called u Hon©rable" Paul Isenberg san]{ like a bird at ihe reeital mentioned. Paal has tremendou3 lung power» — enoagh to run a xnoderate size windmill. Somehow, &s the writer listaued to the tones of the apoeliel, that eveniug, there involuntarily ecc«rredtohis miod an idea onceespressed by a witty lady, after list* enning to an oheee pnma donna, yi*: that her ainging suggeeted to the mind of the sp«iker the spectaclt of a hanet piping out of a lomp ofautt Paul never palls oa a HoooluhK *odteo*.
