VOTES OF, THE WEEK

The Haze HAwAIL-This sheet comes to us promptly
every week, and in its general appearance and the
reading matter is a great Improvement over the last
volume. 1t furnishes the best medium for advertising
among the Hawaiians that we have. We could wish
it were more free from typographical and g~rammati-
cal errors. One can hardly find a paragraph in any
number free from plumbers. 1t seems q pity that
when it is sent abroad to j instruct the young and old,
it should not be as perfect in these respects as possible.
Heaven knows it is hard enough to drill correctness
in spelling and reading into the native mind, without
the drawback of an incorrect tutor. Still, with all
its faults, it is the best paper the natives have ever
had, and We hope to see it improve.
GAaRoTING.-If any of our readers doubt that
these islands are progressing in civilization and de-
termined to keep up with their more refined European
and American neighbors, the following from q cor
respondent at Nawiliwili, Kauai, will show them that
we are not. at least, standing still. The letter isolated

The British nation have simply undertaken
the Office OF keeper to a capricious and vi0-
lent animal, and for moment, forgotten the
responsibility Of the task. 1t has accord
ingly broken loose, and is now INDUCING its
instructive and habitual tastes. The differ
ence between the history Of this year and
many others within the living generation. is
that in the present instance there is unity
Of insnrrection and common object OF yio-,
lence. OF these seventy or eighty thousand
mutineers, whether in the several Contin-
gents, or in the irregulars, or even the Line,
there are but few who do not know that their
fathers from time immemorlal, fought their
way with their swords, BY fair means or BY
foul, to petty throne, or an estate, or a
purse of money. They know that it was
usual to carry ones allegiance to the most
promising leader, and that a young Rajah, or
1 the relation Of one. if he had but a lac Of
rupees, had only to invite followers and he
could raise Ave thousand ready to sally forth
on any service whatever; to kill every living
thing, to burn every house, to cut down every
tree, and convert every Garden Of Eden into
/ d bowling wilderness. of course such a
state Of things brings much chance Of pro-
motion. II is lottery with many blanks
but few glittering prizes. That is the
dream which has dazzled an army collected
chiefly from military castles, and from men
either conquerors By creed or bandits by
profession. OF course, it Is necessary to
accept the services Of such men. It is bet
ter to have them for Us than against US.
Ii is better they should be under our con-
troll than in the less disciplined armies Of
the independent princes. But then such ar
army requires continual care and watchiul.

Selling nrKGoods.

People generally think that 1t is avery easy
matter to stand behind the counter and retail
dry goods; but weeks experience in the busi-
sness would convince the cleverest man, that it
is much more difficult and laborious than the
task Of turding grind stone twelve hours per
day. The Office of salesman embodies, in its
duties, necessity for the shrewdness ofa politi7
cian the persuasion of lover. the pOhteness Of
Chesterfield, the patience Of Job, and the
inn pudence Of "a pickpOcket. There are sales
man who make it point never to lose custo-
mer. One of the gentlemen, who is in store
in Chatham street. not long since, was called to
show very ,fastidious and fashionable lady, who
dropped in willie going to Stewards after some
rich silk cloaking.' Every article Of the kind
was exposed to her view; tho whole store was
ransacked; nothing suited. The costly was
stignatized as trash; everything was common
and not fit for lady. She guessed she would
go to Stewards. The salesman appeared to be
indignant.
MADAM" sad he, ina tone of injured inno-
cence, II have very beautiful and rare piece oi
goods; case divided with Mr.. Stewart, who
is my brother-in law, but it would be useless to
show it to you; it is the only piece in the city"
"Oh, allow me to see it." she asked, in an
ANXIOUS tone; and continued, ~ had no inten-
tion Of annoying you, or Of fdisparagng the mer-
its of your wares"
The salesman who was now watched in breath
less silence by his fellow clerks, proceeded as il
with much reluctance, and with expressions OF
fear that it would be injured by getting tumbled
to display an ancient piece Of vesting, which had
| been lying in the store five years and was con-
sidered unsaleable. The lady examined, and
liked it much. That was piece of goods wor-
thy to be worm ".How much was it yard?'
"Twenty two shiliirgs."
"Oh! that is very big"
"There," exclaimed he, folding it up, II
knew that you would say So"
"Stay stay! don't be in so great hurry" she
cried, "Pll give you twenty shllings."
"Madam, you insult me again"
"Cut me off ---- yards, and you can make
the deduction on some velvet which | require
for trimmings" almost entreated the fair shop
per- .......
Thesalesrhan, after much fersuasion, sold the
lady some vesting for which they had sought in
vain to get five shilings yard at the price in
dicated. The profits Of the sale on yesting and
velvet amounted to thirty three dollars out OF
which the clerks were permitted to pay for q
supper of oysters. The best of this brief tale o.
dry goods is to be told. The lady had her cloak
made, and one or two of her friends, delighted
with it, bought the rest of the vesting at the
ssme price. There is a moral in this aneedote,
which we leave to be discovered by the ingenu-
ity of our. lady readers who occaaionally go a
shopping. ....... .

ALa,nentabIe confession.

The Cincinnati Commercial, one of the most
prominent Republican papers in the State, the
other day used this language:
"There are men in Columbus who are using
members Of the Republican party as such, and
that press which claims to be the Republican or
gan, for the prosecution of designs upon the
Treasury of the State that are, to say the least
of very doubtful honesty; and these members
ofthe Republican party sfidD this Republican
organ are permitting themselves to be thus eSH-
ployed,"
The plain English ofthis is, says an exchange,
that there are Republican members of the legis
lature so corrupt that they can readily be bought
up to make unlawful forays upon the Treasury
of the State. We fear very much that the peo.
Pile all over the State have gotten the notion into
their heads that the professions are of pre-emi-
nent purity, which the Republican leaders in
dulged in with prodigal profuseness, was all to
make, believe. The sooner they adjourn and go
home the better for the State and themselves.
