THE SAMOAN HURRICANE. &t Swept Over 1,200 Miles—The Storm at Apia Last Month. The recent hurricane in the South Pacific ocean swept over 1.200 geographical miles, em- brucing in ite track the Hervey and Society Groups of Islands. The American ship Red Cross, from New South Wales for Sen Fran- cisco, was driven ashore at Raratonga and wrecked. Thecrew was saved. The Ameri- cau ship Ada Owen was wrecked at Ouara, Her crew was saved. Wreckage from the British ship Suakim, from New South Wales for San Francisco, was seen at Aitutaki, It is supposed that the crew perished. A LETTER FROM LIECT. HAWLEY to his wife at Malden, Mass., dated Apia, Feb- ruary 14, gives the following graphic account of the storm which wrecked the barkentine Constitution that day: ‘This bas been a mem- orable day for Apia and the shipping in the rbor. The results, wheu counted up. will show considerable Joss a) around. It had been Dlowing a heavy gale since midnight, and some of the heaviest rain-saualis passed over us that Lever experienced. I began early to look out for the Nipsic, and sent down topsail yards, furled awnings, got in outside ladders, and made other necessary preperetions to ride out the gale. About 10 0'c our old friend, the barkentine Constitution (which was hanied from her dangerous position by a boat's crew from the Nipsic four days ago), howted her flag, union down, as a signal of distress, and I seut a boat's crew over to render what assist- ance we could. It was too late, however, as the vessel had dragged her anchors and wa then bumping on the edge of the reef. Our boat took off the crew, a very difficult task in the heavy sea. Half an hour later the vessel filled, careened over, and went to pieces in short order. The next vessel to get into — was the ‘rman gunboat Eber. She ragged three anchors, and would have gone = the reef had it not been for the assistance of the Olga. her consort. They sent out a strong hawser and pulled the Eber away from her dan- gerous position, and she now has three anchors down, and hangs onto the Olga with a hawser. “Next, a small schooner, went high and dry on the beach. She was light, and the hig! waves lifted her right over the reef, and I do not think she sustained any great injury. The next vessel to come to grief was a e jot boat, a little white schooner, anchored right astern of us. She parted one of her chains nod en ing rapid strides for the reef and destruction, when [ sent a boat with a hawser to her, and we pulled her up close under our stern; and noe she is all right. Several lighters have been piled up on the beach, and one or two were sunk. AFRAID OF A HURRICANE. “The Nipsic behaved well, and with three anchors down has remained where we put her two weeks ago. The strength of the gale is now over and we look for fine weather to-mor- row. I shall be glad to get the ship dried out. It bas been a rather anxious day for me, and I have been on deck constantly since 6 this morn- ing. This is a bad harbor for a hurricane and Lhope we may be spared one this season.

The British steamship Talshaw (Bennett), from Cape Verge, reported at Pensacola yes- terday that she passed the United States steam- ship Brooklyn in latitude 23, 41 north, longi- tude 63, 30 west, 136 days from Honolulu, pro- ceeding under sail with shaft broken.

ACTOR LACKAYE ROBBED IN A NEW YORE SALOON. The New York Sun says that Wilton Lackaye, of Washington, and a member of Rose Cogh- lan’s “Jocelyn” company. came to that city last Thursday with $400, which he intended to bank before leaving town. He carried the money in his inside pocket. between the leaves of a bank book, when he went into a saloon in 6th ave- nue, somewhere near 31st street. He met Actor John A. Mackey there, and took out his bank book and gave the actor $5 from his package of | bank notes.

From the New York Press, To-day the heighth of extravagance and artistic workmanship seems to be attained in coffins and caskets, They are made of rose- wood, mahogany, walnut, maple and cheaper woods, with sliding handles, carved by skilled designers. and the most gorgeous silver plates and religious embiems imaginable. some | undertakers have recently made caskets costing from $1,500 to £2,000 apiece, and very ordinary affairs fetch $500 each. The costliest silks and | satins and laces are obtained for linings. and several sorts of patent metallic caskets of great durability are manufactured, ‘There are deal- | ers in undertakers’ supplies in this city who do | ¢ an annua! business of millions. But few coffins are made here, most of those used in this part of the country coming from Cineunnati, ‘cee The Swift Flight of Wild Ducks.

A REPORT THAT HE HAS LEFT PARIS IN ORDER TO ESCAPE A GOVERNMENT TRAP. Gen. Boulanger is thought to have fled from Paris. The Cocarde, the Boulanger organ, said yesterday “that Gen. Boulanger. being warned that the government was preparing for a coup, arranged so that he should not fall into the government trap, and left the city. The police are mystified. ‘The general will appear when duty requires him. itis our impression that he has hidden himself temporarily. perhaps in Brussels.” Other accounts say that Boulanger is still in Par} but Geniea himse!

From the British Mawazine, The word police has made many bold attempts to get a footing: I have seen it more than once strongly recommended in the papers, but as neither the word nor the thing itseif are {is} much understeed in London, I fancy it will re- quire @ considerable time to bring it into fashion; perhaps from an aversion’ to the French, from whom this word is borrowe a; and something, under the name ofp: being already established in Scotland, English preju- dice will not soon be reconciled to it. Not long ago at a bagnio in Covent Garden, on my com- plaining of some imposition, I was told by a ‘fair North Briton that it was the regular es- tablished police of the house.
