Nr. King, one Of the enterprising proprietors Of
the hotel on Mama Loa. we are in receipt of a

ancc of clean bedding upon which to rest after a
day spent in surveying the wonders of the crater.
and a table furnished in 4 superior manner with
all that sharpened apctitcs can ask for-are GER
tainly novelties on Mauna Loa. The wonder was
that so much could be had for so moderate a charge.
NEW NEWSPAPER ENTEEPRISE.-We learn from
Mr.. J. J. Ayers. that ne c~ontemplatcs issuing a daily
paper on the 4th of September (prox) He has
named his sheet the Duly H1,rqian Herald. and

progressive interests of the Hawaiian Islands. Mr..

utmost endcavors for the well-being of every class
Of inhabitants of these islands-for the advance
ment of the important interests now developing.
and for such universal prosperity as must follow in
the train of a proper government. correctly admin
is;ered laws, and an industrious people.
PoSTAT. RREGU1,EITIEs-Th Postmaster Cen
eral wishes us to say that. through the carelessness
of the boy who takes the mails to the coasters, a
bag for kahului was sent. per Hate lee. to Ulupa-
lakua. and the one for Ulupalakua. per Moi Heike.
to Kahului. Captains Of coasters. by Section 402
Of the Civil Code. are compelled to call at the
Office for mails. but the Postmaster General has
never exactcd this service Of them. On receiving
the mails it would be an easy matter TO see that
the right bags are put on board. a they are plain
" labelled. The Post Office has never had a bet
ter reputation for promptness and accuracy than it
now enjoys. and such mistakes are annoying TO
both the public and the Postmaster General.

two weeks ago TO the embassy sent by the Ameri-
can Congress to the Emperor of Russia. By late
advices. We learn that it had sailed. The Washing

The 3lST or JULT At HIIo-The good people
Of Hilo had quite a celebration. The church was
packed to its full capacity to listen to live speeches
and sOul-stirring music. selected and original. The
Hawaiian flag was taken down. and restored. The
first act drew forth a mournful dirce. while the
restoration was received with joyful songs and
sounds OF acclamation.
