            SPECIAL NOTICE.—The regular weekly edition of th@ KUOKOA is now 3000 copies, and the paper circulates extensively on Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, Oahu and Kauai.  Advertisers, who wish their business notices read all over the group, will please make a note of this.

            The daily cost of the war to the Germans during its first four months was $750,000 in gold.  But that does not rival the war expenses in the rebellion, which reached $2,000,000 a day, in currency.—

            California adds another contribution to her list of wonders.  Several live lizards have recently been found embedded in fir trees discovered in a forest near Calistoga.  They are unlike any species now known.

            A gentleman purchased a quantity of supposed milk at a Boston restaurant a few days ago, and a few hours afterward found his purchase had “settled,” the top being clear water and the bottom a poor quality of flour.

            Two young men in Troy, “master mechanics,” built a boat in their cellar to let on shares during the next season.  It was finished a day lately, when, to their chagrin, they found the “boat” too large for the door.

            A Detroiter who took a flask of whisky with him on a shooting trip, struck a race track in the suburbs on his return, and walked round it all night, wondering why he didn’t get to town.

            A farmer’s boy, on Muscatine Island, has a very large rat, which he has domesticated and trained to do various amusing things—among them, the getting upon its hind feet and, at a signal from its little master, attempting to crow like a rooster.  The rat will follow the boy as a puppy does its master.

            Hippophagy is introduced in London.  A man has been arr@sted and held for trial on a charge of having, by his own confession, been in the habit of slaughtering large numbers of horses to be manufactured into sausages.  He has in operation one boiler capable of boiling down two or three horses at once.

            Trochu has ordered the Prussian officers whom he held as prisoners of war, to be sent back to Versailles.  He previously had them conducted through the immense stores of provisions and munitions of war which are collected in Paris, in order that the enemy might be disabused of the idea that further resistance was impossible.

            A San Francisco undertaker claims to have discovered a new method of preserving the dead human body.  By his process he petrifies it.  He exhibits a body that he petrified in July, 1868, and it exhibits no signs of decay.  When struck, says the editor of the Morning Call, it gives out “a ringing, metallic sound.”  The color of the flesh is not changed.  All this is very wonderful, if true but it is of questionable utility so far as the human body is concerned.

            Rat-hunting is now vigorously carried on in Paris to meet the demands of the restaurants.  A simple plan has been devised for the capture on these now valuable rodents.  Holes are made in the bed of the sewers, and filled in with soup de glucose, a thick and sweet liquid.  The rats, attracted by the flavor, rush greedily to feed, and immediately fall into the holes from which they are unable to escape on account of the glutinous nature of the soup, and thus they are daily captured by thousands.

            A special despatch from London, of the 14 ^th January says a treaty between Prussia, Russia and the French Empire, is talked of upon the following terms : First—modification of the commercial treaty of 1860.  Second—The Oriental question to be henceforth regarded as a secondary matter by France.  Third—That the portion of Belgium known as French Flanders is to be annexed to France in lieu of Alsace, and Alsace Luxembourg to be annexed to Germany.  It is supposed that the latter proposition will satisfy the amour prepre of France and reconcile the people to restoration.
