Show 1 - KAWUT NIXIE. Hf The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, of Hono- H lulu, has a communication from Hon. Thomas H ' Fitch, which is a touching obituary on the lately Kf widely-known deceased dog, Nixie, the black and Hjt tan which was so long the pride and consolation K v" of Mrs. Fitch. It is after the mancaer of thej Rr tributes paid the loved and lost. Nixie had all H ' '' the graces and virtues that can ever be looked B for in one of his species, and these were all sub- B ordinate to an intellect which was the envy and B admiration of all who knew him. His standing B was well described by a child in Honolulu, who H said: "I know Mrs. Fitch; she is the lady that H belongs to Nixie." Nixie lived a long and blame- B less life, but his summons came and was so imper- B . ative that neither friends nor physicians could B secure to him a postponement. The closing words B of the notice are clear reminders of Tom Fitch, B as follows: B "Nixie passed away with his dying gaze fast- B ened upon his mistress; his body sleeps in the B Moana Hotel grounds under a cocoa palm, where jB the speech of the waves makes eternal music, and jHB ? If there is a hereafter for any dog, his little soul HHHj I? now wagging its way to a fron' "at . mong the BRB angels." |
