THE DETENTION OF THE MAIL STEAMER.

The folloAving paragraph appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle of the 18th ult., which -will account for tlie detention of the mail steamer Nebraska : —The steamer Idaho, of the Webb line, arrived in this port from Honolulu several days overdue, and tho steamer Olympia was secured to take lier place on the line. This vessel sailed yesterday at noon, under command of Captain Thorne. Just after passing Fort Point the cabin of the steamer was suddenly filled with steam, and just suddenly empiied of the passengers, who believed that the vessel had blown up. Tbe Captain immediately gave orders to shut off the steam, and the ship', head turned to port under sail. The Olympia slowly got in to Vallejo-street wharf, and there the passengers allowed to go a»hore, with instructions -■^OW,° br" "" hoard this morning ■j.c 4 o'clock. v/- '_" An investigation of the ooilet showed that tho condenser had exploded. Being below the boiler and the vessel's a l packed closely around the conde^ gef) the workmen experien ced great diffie '_,t y fa getting at the seat of tho injury. La=7 a j ght afc 10 o ' c lock a CHRONICLE reporter ls Jx e d the vessel, and found a gang ?i ™er- lm'd afc work- Captain Thorne stated *; .« the vessel would be ready for sea by "* o'clock this morning. The Olympia which is 249 tons, which is far below the contract capacity, which is 2,000 tons, and some persons have doubts of ler sea-going capacities. The officers claim that she is in every way trustworthy, having run from this port to Victoria by a route where the stress of weather is greater than any en countered on the Honolulu route. The Eng hsh mails are on hoard the Olvmpia, having arrived here on the 11 th instant.

A blacksmith had in his possession, bu* under mortgage, a house and a piece of land- Like many others he was at one time fond of the social glass, but Avas happily induced by a friend to join the Temperance society. About three months after he observed his Avife one morning busily employed planting rose-bushes and fruit-trees. ""Mary," said lie "I have crvvned this cot for five years, and yet 1 have uever knoAvn you before care to improve aii'.i ornament it in this manner."

" Indeed," re.plied the .milling wife " I had no heart to do it until you gave up the drink. I had oftei. thought of'it before, but 1 was persuade* _ fcliat, should Ido it, some strangers would pluck the roses and eat the fruit. ivoav, with Ood's blessing, this cot Avill be oxirs t ami we :xm \ OUI . children may expect to cir .l°y the produce. We shall pluck tlie roses Baid eat the fruit."

Mosgiel Tweeds, of Otago manufacture, are now in demand in the London market. They are a decided novelty, and of excellent quality : and yet at a distance of Hi,ooo miles from the place where they are produced, and from tlie people whose interest and profit it is to prefer the home production to the imported article, their excellence is discerned and appreciated before we bestow even a passing notice on the child of our own industry. Truly a Prophet hath no honor in his own country : but it is not " colonial to " sneeze at" & profit. The time has come when the nether extremities of every New Zealand man and boy should be clothed in stuff of the home production. Samuel Coombes has just received a parcel of the above Tweeds from the manufactory, and not only hopes that they will be extensively sought for, but expects every public spirited man to " go in" for at leastone pair of Mosgiel Tweed Trousers.
