Head DOctOr
Such IS the commission of a man who occasionally
sends to me for a dose of lu-pepa. which means any
powdered substance shaken from a phial into a paper,
and would as appropriately apply to arsenic as to
calomel.
One thing that makes native practice the more haz-
ardous is, they now attempt to use foreign medicines
to some extent. A few months since, a native took
from a package of old medicines what he supposed
was Epsoms salts, dissolved and drank a part of it,
being a little unwell; but, as it did not taste as he
expected, he left a part, and after a few hours sent
for me in great agony. He died in a little time after.
From the appearance of the envelope in which the
salts had been kept 1 concluded it was sulphate of
zinc.
In view of all this-and the one-hund-edth part is
not saidI would respectfully inquire: Is there not
some cheaper and some more effectual way to meet
the necessities of the people than those now before the
Legislature in part. and kept back in part? Would
it not be better to encourage missionaries to deal out
&C.. in remote parts of the islands, and
encourage natives to pay at least the cost of the arti-
cles! Is it well to allow Mr.. Kapu to go on with his
on the ignorant and credulous natives?
If in a hospital thousands are cured of contagious
and sent back to their polluted houses, pol
luted kapas. pillows. mats and companions, will they
stay cured ? Let the houses be doctored, the mats,
and all, by lac, and there will be hope.

PROJECTED GAS WoRKs-Last Monday, an Act to
grant a fifteen years monopoly to the Honolulu Gas
Company, was brought before the House of Represen-
tatives. As near as we can learn, no serious OPPOSE
ton will be offered to the bill. 1t was on Tuesday
referred to a Select COMMITTEES to ascertain as to the
location of the proposed works, it being of course i'm
portant that they should not be in close proximity to
the thickly settled part of the town. The question
was also referred to the committee as to what should
be the maximum price of the gas. We learn that the
company are willing to engage that they will furnish
their gas at a price not to exceed Il cents per cubic
foot. Both these questions raised by the House, we
think would be appropriately left to the decision of
the Minister of the Interior.
OrRIcIAL-The following statistics from the official
tax reports, showing the taxes collected as well as the
number of tax payers, horses and dogs on Maui,
Molokai and Lanai, for the year 1858, will be of in
terest to our readers

A BREED OF NATIVE PoSIEs-The wretched,
dwarfed native stations which are permitted to run
at large all over the country, are working out their
=" destiny in creating a breed of Hawaiian ponies.
We have lately seen several mares and geldings n
little taller than the celebrated Shetland ponies, which
their owners assured us were from five to seven years
old. Other than their littleness, they appeared to be
as well formed as the generality of native horses.
DULL TME.-As an indication of the total staena-
ton of business just now, it may be mentioned that
on Tuesday at I" high noon, . an im~promptu game of
g bat and ball'' was got up on Queen Street, directly
opposite the store of T. Spencer, ESQ.,, which for n
short time was prosecuted quite vigorously, much to
the amusement of the by-standers. Clerks and Mer-
chants caught the infection, and the sport was only
stopped by some strong arm sending the ball over
board. -
q We commend to the readers Of the CONNER
eial, especially those about to visit, or to order goods
from the coast, the perusal of the San Francisco
advertisements on our first page. We feel confident
that our patrons viii find it to their advantage to call
ON our San Francisco friends, knowing. as We do,
that they are honorable men, and win deal justly
with all who may choose to patronise them.
The FKxxrxoRE CooPER-This little surveying
vessel arrived on Saturday last from q cruise to the
northwest Of these Islands, all well. She went over
the track Of former surveyors and discoveries. and
has pretty thoroughly secured the sea in that direction.
She will probably sail again to the westward soon.
