DAsHAwAY CLuB.-Agreeably with a notice in our
last paper, a large assemblage of persons interested
in the formation of a "Dashaway Society," met on
Thursday evening last. A number of spirited ad-
dresses were made, which showed that the work OF
reform had been earnestly taken hold of. Another
meeting was held on Saturday evening, at which the
principal subject of discussion was, what the pledge
should be. Some diversity of opinion appeared on
this question: During the discussion a good deal of
lively hufnOr Was evoked, ana the result unaiiy was,
the adoption of the following pledge:
.sWe. the undersigned. do hereby pledge ourselves, each to the
others, Jointly and severally to abstain from the use oil any
,2irituous drinks, or Intoxicating beUerage, including, also,
Wines, Ale. Beer and Porter, during such space OF time, as Is
affixed to our several signatures. For the faithful performance
of which, we pledge our honors."
Twenty-three members have thus far joined the
..Dashaway Club, They bind themselves to a limit
ed period ranging from six to twelve months, some
of them doubling whether they can ''stand it" for a
lo,,o, ,or;oJ R,t raalIu ~ n hoe tha moral
courage to resist the intoxicating cup three months,
he surely can three years, if he only wills it.
..where there's a will there's a way The earnest
ness with which the movement has thus far been
characterized, speaks we'll for the future. Another
meeting of the club will be held on Saturday evening
next. "

UNADULrERATED HYPOCRISY
Whatever tends to good, to bride evil passions, TO support
the wavering and confirm the upright viii ever find sympathy
aud a spokesman in us"
The above is from the last Polynesian, where it APP
pears in connection with the temperance movement
of the ssDashaways.' Now everybody knows that
this same government Journal has always and invd-
riably sought to cast ridicule on every effort having
for its object the freedom of man from the enslave-
ment of rum, and odium on everybody who ever dares
to speak on the subject. Bearing these facts in mind,
if the above quotation does not smack of 80 per cent.
of hypocrisy, then we have yet to learn what does.
LARGE PoTATo-We omitted TO notice last week
the receipt from Lahaina, of a monster sweet potato,
weighing 211 pounds. We sent it in to Mr.. Cutreil,
and it graced the 4th of July dinner. Mr.. Baldwin,
of Lahaina, writes us that he has seen a sweet potato
which weighed 81 lbs. California can't beat that.
YoUNG AMERICA YACHT.-This pretty little mod
died boat was launched on Monday, and in the after
noon of that day had a trial of her sailing qualities
with the Kings and J. W. Phuger's gigs. The
wind was not p~ropitious for a fair trial, and another
will be had in a day or two.
.sSToLEN SwEETs.'-We would acknowledge the
receipt from the Sheriff of a half bag of stolen man
goes, which we advertised last week, but no owner
claimed. Boggs says that ''the partaker is as bad as
the thief but we protest against his application Of
his old saw to these mangoes.
News AHEAD.-The Yankee ought to bring news
from the seat of war TO May 90, and accounts of the
first battle. -
SUPREME CoURT.-This court is still in session and
will probably continue SO till Saturday or Monday
next. The foreign cases were closed on Tuesday.
y A few days ago there was a sale of horses at
Halemano or thereabouts. We are informed that
t~hirty-six animals in all were knocked down for the
aggregate price of So. or 50 zach. A mare with
her two darlings went for twenty-five cents. About
fourteen out of the whole numbosold were immedi-
ately taken to a place of execution where thew UNDER
went the process of having their throats cut, for thew
were fit for no other retainer And these are the
animals for which the Hawaiians are becoming n by
word, and to support which the grass is taken out of
the mouths of other animals that might produce n |
