f)f _oourse you were.'aQ at thc- diarlestou reception on last Wednesdaj. Ihaw 3, gieat inanj oi my ypnng ladj acquuintanoes thfcre, bnt soipe~bow ttiey \vuuldn't see me; they were all so teken up wntcliīng for "favorable aotice'' they did. aot Beeni*to a]ijjreciate ,that otherß miglit be watchiiig their social (jueeriiess. I saw soiue very que»r costumes aboaid and, after lookiap; over the ahip s c!ecoratiohK, I finaily agreed with the eoniment ī heard one of the Bailors in \he steam launeli make, that "the ship's better dres*>ed than aome 0' these 'er giils." It is quite evident the sailor mentione(l has Already discoyered tkat aoeial olasses ean be distinguiBhed here by the way tliey dress; aud as the Charleston was not rij?ged out iu Puritan etyle, the "man o' the aea'' BĪmply made an apt of an ineyitable comparison.

I was aarfully sorry yoū CharleBton fellows lost l the boat race, for.l lost three. little wagers tliereon, all through the confidence exhibited by the boys. I don't know wheie in the w.orld I'll get the wmney to pay up. I don't dare aek papa for it; as he's 8&ongly opposed to young ltulies betting. Brother J«ck'a my only present hopa nud if lie has "busted" on the i-a<je,; iheie'a only one ehanee left; you Charleston fellowa will have to help a patriofic but foolish Ajnericīn girl ont of piliiiiii. Seryed you Charleston fellows just riglit; uext time don't crowd fourteen oftis into a twelve-oared boat. The.re's only one grani of comfort for you and tha t is thkt the raceall round was oue of thc slowest five" mile pulls eve,r. made iu the Honolulu h:irbpr. The King's Wbat, whieh the Engiish bays msmied, liaa been pulled ōver the samc ciura# by tfcvera' mnuites better t'me. But Ido believe I'm onlj makiiig it all the worse for Charlesto« fellowa. Guess I'd better stop.

1 Ho it is tnio tlie terribl& ColoueJ ia going away. [Well I'm real glad. The Colonel will have a lively ! vacaiiou and duriug h.is absence Messrs. Thurston f Soper »nd Youiig ean recupeißte th«ir shat texed iiervous sjstems. There is uo reason now why all the trei:ibiing patriotij oi the Eeform party sihould uot eutirely regaiu political health and courage before the Oolonal reUims tluee moutha henee. There is oiie funny thīilg about the whole matter auA thnt is the teirible Oolonel i doesut seem be conscious tliat lie hasbeeu the J main eauae gf the euervating uervoua disease j wliieh iiau penu«ated the Reft>rm party siu.ee the I 30th of J'ily, 1889. O, well, I'iu qnite snre itTl [•tum out all right as soon as th<j Oolouel gets into Ithe offing. SISBY Scissors.
