Side by Side

Bishop Stalcy. to please the Americans, has de-
clared his intention to labor side by side with the
American Missionaries. He will not be called a
hvpocrite by me-, hut if his conduct proves hypoe-
risv be alone must bear it.
Vt the funeral Of the late Princess Victoria he
would not walk side by side with the American
Protestant Missionaries, but thrust himself above
them. and above the Roman Catholic Bishop, all
of whom have been longer upon the Islands, and
have a greater Influence than he has or ever will
have among the people. This reminds me of two
travellers who were to occupy the same bed
Traveller No. l. Which side do You prefer -
No. 2.-"Oh. it makes no difference to me
please suit yourself"
No. I.-"Then l will take the upper side, and
give you the under side
Whether No. , accepted the side offered him or
not does not matter but when the new American
Minister arrives here we shall see what place our
countrymen are to hold in the community. >.

Correspondence of the P. C. Advertiser.

koLOA. June 20, 1866.
Mr.. ~EDITOR-Your readers will be sorry to hear
that another schooner is ashore on Kauai. The
On,rard, Captain Lambert, had taken in a cargo OF
frewood and cattle at Wahiawa. but in attempting
to get to sea on Saturday the 23d inst, she went
ashore on the rocky point west of the harbor
Blame is attached to the native sailors, who. it is
said, did not promptly hoist the sails when ordered
To do SO, and on the first approach of danger they
lcapcd overheard into the sea, leaving the Captain
to take care of the vessel himself.
Everything on board has been safely landed. and
Captain Lambert. with forty or fifty men. was en-
gagged in an effort to drag the vessel into deep wa
ter. They did not succeed. but still have hope OF
ultimate success. She is somewhat broken forward
and at high tide has two or three feet water in her
hold. Yours.
p. 5. By the MOI Hobjpe we learn that the On
'rqrd has been got off. and. after receiving some
temporary repairs, will return to Honolulu.

have been for Il period of five years afflicted
with a malady of the eyes. which continued stead
ilv to increase until | was reduced almost to total
blindness. The disease was Distichiasis and Tri-
chiasis. combined with Entropium, and latterly
with liberation in the cornea and a partial destruc-
ton of the skin of the eyeballs. In this disease,
the cye-lids being inverted, brought the cye-lashes
in direct contact with the eye, causing extreme
pain in any attempt to elevate the eyes. Seven
distinct operations have been performed on my
eyes by Or. Bechtinger. which have resulted in re
storing to me the great blessing of sight.
Yours most respectfully,

SATURDAY, JULY :.
NOTES OF THE WEEK.

FoURTH Of JULT-Thc Nineyieth Anniversary of
American Independence was ushered in AT mid
night by the loud roar of cannon. under the dircc-
ton of Young Hawaii, and the less exciting
noise of fre-crackers, accompanied with the sing
ing and hurrahs of ~sleeplcss screna,trrs. who APP
pcared perfectly familiar with John Browns"
soul. Marching through Georgia, and other popu-
lar songs. The day dawned beautifully, and the
sun rose with majestic spIcndor over our eastern
hills. spreading his bright rays over city. plain aud
sea. ~ the day advanced and the sun rose higher.
the cool trade winds blew fresh from the moist
mountain tops. and the clouds spread a welcome
veil that tempered the heat and made the scene
Eienlikc. 1t was 4 fit day for the remembrance of
so noble a cause, and every one seemed to feel the
Inspiration of It's holy atmosphere.
At an early hour. flags were displayed from
flagstads and across the streets. presenting a holt
day aspect not often seen here. The shipping in
the harbor was gaily decked. but the clipper STIR or
tie Union and the bark Palmetto lying in the offing,
surpassed them. Every mast of these two vessels,
from the deck to the truck. was literally covered
with gay bunting. From our lookout. we counted
over seventy flags in the town, comprising Ha-
waiian. American. English. French, Russian. Italian.
Dutch. Hamburg. Bremen. Hanovarian. Oldenburg.
Gillian, Peruvian. and others.
Owing to the recent death and burial of the
Princess Royal. the usual demonstration was omit
ted. and the day was celebrated in a more quiet
way. and doubtless every man. woman and child
enjoyed it full as well as last year. when so much
display was made. Numerous picnics were held
in the valleys and outskirts of the city. which were
well attended and heartily enjoyed by all. At
noon. Il national salute was fired. As usual horse
riding was the principal feature of the afternoons
enjoyment. which was freely indulged in by all
classes.
In the evening an impromptl dance took place
At Concert Hall on NUuanu street, at which were
present His Elk. Mr.. BurlingaIne and lady. His Ex.
Gen. Van Valkenburg. His En-. DIR. M'Bridc. and
many ladies and gentlemen. The Hall was very
tastefully decorated. considering the short notice
given. Dancing commenced at half past eight.
and was kept up without cessation till y, when
the guests repaired to a supper table, laden with
the choicest of Honolulu productions. After sup
per dancing was renewed. and continued till half
past one.
During the evening fireworks and rockets were
exhibited in various parts of the town. and at
times kept the sky fairly il!umined with their red,
white and blue glare.

~ We are indebted to the Western Islands for
ono of our most industrious citizens, who are
Portuguese. engaged in trading and agricultural
enterprises. Messls. Carreira x Co., of Nuuanu
street, have shown us some very superior onions.
raised in Honolulu from seeds imported from the
Western Islands, which are nearly as large and
apparently as good as the California esculents. 1t
may be that the seeds of the Western Islands
onions are better adapted to these islands, as both
groups have very similar climates. American
onion seeds do not produce So fine vegetables. BY
the way. considering the number of Portuguese
residing at these islands. and the fact that last
week two ships were anchored in the roads flying
their national flag. it is a little strange that no
Consul for that country has ever been located here.
The appointment of Mr.. Iico. as Portuguese Con-
sui. would be creditable all around.

To~p DIR. P~ctermann's Expedition to the Arctic
Ocean, to which we referred last year. has not been
given up, but is to be sent out this summer. 1t
will consist of two strong corvettes. manned by
naval volunteers from Hamburg. and is TO sail
from. that port during June. The objects in view
are both scientific and commercial. After an in
vcstigation of all the data al his command, DIR.
Petermann is of the opinion that Greenland is an
immense island, extending as far as Bchring Strait ;
aud this view has been supported by other scien-
tiiic men. BY this voyage it is hoped to solve the
problem. The commercial speculations are the
revival OF the German whaleishery, and the search
for the stores of ivory known to be buried on the
Siberian coasts OF the Northern ocean. On the
route of the proposed expedition there are found
in the ice and snow immense numbers of mann
moth elephants, complete, in some instances, even
to the preservation of the skin and hair and these
animal remains are said to constitute the richest
ivory deposits in the world-equaling. in value

THE OVERLAND RtIRoAD-From all we can
gather. says the Sacramento Bee, the Pacific Rail-
road is making rapid Roadway. Under present
auspices il is believed that the cars may he run
ming from the Missouri through to the Pacific in
1872. Beside the Central Pacifc-the California
~branch-labor is in progress on the eastern end
and at various points on the route. The managers
have promised to take the locomotive into Salt
Lake City within three years from this date, or in
June. 1859. -
FINE RUN.-The schooner ABerai. under COM
maud of Capt. Clark, arrived at / p. VI. last

The National Currency Bank of New
York City declared last year cash dividends
amounting to 60 per cent, and 80 per
cent. additional that was laid by as surplus.
The capital Of the Bank is exempt from
State and municipal taxation. 1t receives
six per cent. from the Federal Govern
ment on its capital, which are fiye-twenty
bonds, and pays no tax thereon. 1t receives
within ten per cent of the face Of its bonds
National currency notes to bank on, on
which it paysno tax. 1t rcceives immense
deposits in greenbacks and National cur
rency notes, on which also it banks, but
on which it pays no interest This ia a
specimen Of the whole brood of National
banks All is grist that comes to their
mill, and they pay no toll to the Govern
ment. Little wonder is it that they can
declare large dividends.

plan for Hscorganizing the Army

An elaborate plan for the organization
of the regular army, drafted by Brig. Gen.
James S. Brisbin, ha, been placed in the
hands of members of Congress. 1t is for
an army Of $50 600 men; makes the regi-
ments tea companies strong; drops two
Majors in cavalry regiments, and gives
two Second L;sutenants to companies; and
provides for the appointment Of General
in Chief. 3 Generals, 16 Major G. enerals,
and So Brigadier> G enerals: also, for field
staff and department staff. One half of
promotions are to be made according to
seniority, and the other half according to
merit, to be determined by Boards Of
Examiners. 1t requires an officer to serve
two years in the line before entering the
staff of the army, and makes West Point
staff school. Any one who can pass tie
necessary examination may enter the army
as Second Lieutenant. The plan exempts
officers saleries from taxation, allows
officers to BE- retired after p years services,
and gives them the right to hold civil
office while in retirement 1t Incorporates
the old regular army as a part Of the new
army, and prescribes rules for uniform
leaves of absence, furloughs, and court
martials \ bill of twenty-five sections
has been prepared, comprising the plan
proposed. and an elaborate document in
pamphlet form accompanies it,
