MAUI. December 1000.
Mn. EDTroR A few days more and the cease
less wheel of time will have performed another
evolution, and added its parting tear to the ocean
of eternity. "TempOrd mutCRtuT, ct nos Dlltdihus
cum Ills is an old saying and a true one. The
same sun that clothed the mountains. the valleys
the sea and distant islands in such radiant light in
. the happy time of SPRING shines still above us,
and showers down his golden rays but it is no
more upon the young heart of spring. Time
has blanched and withered, and put its sombre
mantle of gray over the once so radiant face of ma
ture. So in life's happy time of spring. the
sleeping infant in its cot smiles its brightest, most
peaceful and purest smile, while the mother dreams
that guardian angels are whispering TO her babe.
Never again in life that smile returns upon the hui
man face. Neither joy nor pleasure, neither hopes
fulfilled nor ambition satisfied, can recall the radi-
ant purity of the infants smile. Time blanches,
withers and puts its dust of earth upon all alike.
Blow chilly winds. drop sere and yellow leaves,
wither grass and flower. another happy time of
spring. is nigh. Bright eyes grow dim. wither
cheeks, sprinkle. frost, wintry SHOWS upon hoary
heads. another spring is nigh. and when (but all
how seldom) upon the silent bier, and only then,
that same pure and peaceful smile of the young
heart of spring !" returns, then spring has come in
deed a spring that never fades.
And so IN THIS last month OF tne year nluIhy shico
lower threatening over the mountain tops, and
sportivc whirlwinds take up dense clouds of dust
and rush like mad imps over roads and fences, and
cart around corners throwing their big handfuls of
dust into out of the way places, chasing modest
maidcns and sedate woman, soaring docile horses
and playing all sorts of wild pranks. The wind
for whole days follows my policy " by swinging
round the circle blowing from east and west, and
north and south, and all " intermediate landings"
in less time than a man can turn himself fairly
round.
Winter. oar winter is at the door. Showers of
rain have become of late scarce, and the last few
weeks have been very favorable for those planta-
tons that are engaged in grinding. The quantity
of sugars from Waihee. Waikapu, Waikiki and
Ulupalakua must tell in the market. Spcnccr's
plantation has finished this years grinding a few
weeks ago.
Of the prevailing sickness this island has had It's
full share. although deaths have been by no means
so numerous as in Honolulu but the plantations
have all more or less felt very ~scnsibly the prostra-
ton of 80 many of their laborers.

Nor AFRAID OF THE NEGRO.-The Shasta Courier,
edited by a loyal Irish American, is not afraid OF be-
ing outstripped by the negroes. He says:
elf God has given the power to the negro 10 be-
come the equal of, or superior to, the white man, just
go sure that superiority will be recognized by all;
and in our opinion be has not far to go to become the
equal Of those who are so tender footed in refusing
equal chances 10 all in the race. The negro has been
: handicapped long enough. Give him an equal
chance, weight for age and a fair field. We arn't
afraid"
The Boston Pilot (Catholic) gives the following
opinions
= The black man has the same right to earn his
bread on this earth, where God, the Father and
Maker of us all, has planted him, as the white man
has. He is made in the same image, and the blood
Of the Goldman was shed for him as we'll as the more
favored white man
A NOBLE PROPORTIONAL a private dinner given
recently, at the Union Club rooms in New York
city, TO Mr.. Morgan, partner to George Peabody,
Alexander / Stewart iniimated his intention 70 ap-
propriate 81 900, 900 for the erection of tenement
houses for the deserving poor of New York. This
proposition has since taken form. and it Is said that,
for the purpose Of carrying it into effect, Mr.. Stewart
has applied to the city authorities for a grant Of
land, under certain stipulations touching the man
agement Of the enterprise. The ground has not yet
been granted, and may not be, but Mr.. Stewart in
tends to carry out his noble purpose all toe same,
only, of course, the number OF dwellings will be
smaller at first, rs part of the sam, which would
otherwise be entirely devoted to the construction Of
the houses, will then have TO be used for the purchase
Of land.
A blacksmith in England was lately tried for per-
Jury. He had sworn before a Parliamentary COM
mittee that one candidate for Parliament had prom
isel him money, and that another had given him
money for his vote. The candidates were examined
on oath, and both swore point blank-one that he
never promised the money, and the other that he
never gave any. The Judge instructed the jury that
if they believed the honorable members, they must
fud the blacksmith guilty. WhereupOn, the jury re-
turned a verdict Of not guilty.

SEA BATuERs, BEwARE.-One morning this week,
while We were taking a stroll along the Esplanade,
we observed the fin of 4 huge shark circling about
a ship lying at anchor close to the shore. He was
pronounced by a sailor standing by. to be Of the
man-eatcr species. We have heard of several hav-
ing been seen in the harbor lately. Sailors should
keep a lookout for sea sharks as well as for land
sharks. -

He suggests the repeal of all "fence laws,
and thinks the subject should be left to the
common law, in which we concur. :,
He devotes much space to the SUBJECT OF
rallroads-complain that their tariffs dlscrml-
nate against our own home cities and people IN
favor OF those without the State, and THINKS
that they should be compelled to reduce their
local rates and make them uniform. ne press
es vigorously the principle OF consolidation,
and proposes that ''the Norfolk and Peters,
burg Southsidc, Danville, and Virginia and
Tennessee roads should constitute one road
the Virginia and Tennessee, Orange and
Alexandria, and Virginia Central Should
constitute one road the Petersburg and Wei,
don, Richmond and Petersburg, Richmond
connection, and Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac roads should constitute one road.
When transportation is required at any depot
on any Of these roads, it should be received
and transported to any depot on any other
road connecting Herewith that may be de-
sired at uniform rate of charges, on the basis
above stated, and tickets, checks and bills OF
ladng given accordingly and tor any loss or
damage sustained in transportation, the party
injured should have his right Of action against
any company over whose road the passage was
so contracted for. >
| He adds
IF all our roads were consolidated, and put
under the management OF one or tive lItelil-
gent heads, there is no reason why their bonds
should not become as good as seVen-thlrty
bends Of the United States in any market.
But to defeat this object, leading men from
different parts OF the State were brought 10
the capital, and retained to attend the meeting
of the stockholders Of the Virginia and Iennes-
see road, where the whole scheme was de-
nounccd as an Infringement OF the franchises
Of the company, and as an innovation upon
| the customs OF Virginia, and other arguments
about as reasonable urged upon the private
| stockholders"
He says he sees but one way in which the
| object he aims at can be accomplished, and
that is to ''repeal the law which scales the vote
of the State ard instruct her proxies to vote
Tor consolidating the management or the
roads" He refers especially to the Virginia
and Kentucky and Covington and Ohio roads.
The message closes with an elaborate expo
sition of the Constitutional Amendment, as
understood by the Governor. lie approaches
the subject cautiously and with manifest re-
Iuctanca it IS dlsagrceable subject, but,
having broken the ice, lie plungcs right IN and
advises its ratification as the best means OF
avcrti0g more Cncrous measures. he md
Gates plainly that he considers the President
powcresS, and the dominant party the power
entitled to govern and as likely to hold COM
mand of the situation ''for many years to
come. :" lie thinks the conditions imposed by
Congress are not nearly as hard as they might
! be-" The Governor thinks that We would m
cur no disgrace by cOnscntlng to an amend
ment which ostracScS those who bore the
brunt Of the war.
