In purely Ioeai matters. very little Of interest ha-
i~r,H-p.rgI TIE past week, or iadeel since the sailing
q the last packet. AMI notwithstanding the busy A.
pest q the port aIl streets, items Of news have been
very s-irce.
With the new moon, the wind choprei round TO
wet. AMI has blown fresh westerly trades for the past
four day.. accompanied with frequent showers On
thursday night enc and three-4uar;eTs inches Of rain
fell
Tire steamship Eiaho elmc in on Sunday morning
with the proyeFbial prOmptue-> Of steam, taking her
pilot II days and Il hours after leaving san Fran
cisco. This may he taken a. tile ordinary time for
making tie passage with favorable winds, such a. she
had On this. during which she seldom had over ten
pounls Of steam on, and consumed abou; one-quarter
les coal than on her first trip hi,her. With the west
erly winds, she ought to make the run back in twelve
lays.
The steamships time table, published in another
column. adverti-es her TO leave san Francisco ON the
ri u November, aud again January 1.-The former
date being one day before the arrival Of the New York
mail steamer. and the latter two day-jhe steamers
being due Il that port IN tile 81, 18th and 2Si Of
each month. The schedule should be arranged 80 as
10 form connections. If possible. with the Eastern
mail steamers. The 9th aud 25;h are better dates to
fix on.
The French war steamer Venus sailed on the 18th
for Tahiti. taking san Francisco adyices 10 October
-, anil kilograms from New York and Paris TO Octo-
Ter -. II she makes a fourteen days passage, n
she can easily 10, she will deliver her news at Tahiti
within - days from san Francisco, showing the supe-
riOFity Of this over the direct route between those two
Ports-
The British ship Centurion, which left san Fran
cisco about October ~ for this port, will be due here
between the sth or lO;h instant. She viii probably
bring no Eastern mail, Is the Panama steamer would
not lie due til the 2$l, but Us the Idaho is thought
to have lea the bulk Of the Eastern letters, she will
probably bring them.
The Eastern and European mails per Idaho will
close to-day At the Post Ofiee at y T.. VI. All let
tiers should have stlmps-lO. cents American and .
cents Hawaiian for each half ounce. This mail will
reach New York December 10, and London about
December -.
On our first page will be found a continuation of
IL Piz' graphic description of Hawaii scenery. From
these sketches, readers abroad can obtain IA more cor
rect aud better account of what these Islands are than
from any other publications.
The communication Of Mr.. d. L. Emerson will be
read with interest. II is almost inconceiyable that in
this age OF science and knowledge n Beard of Health
should lie allowed to quarantine n family having the
measlcs,-a disease a. harmless a. the influenza or
w~hOOping cough. The treatment Of this gentleman is
"A gross outrage.
To our local and foreign correspondents We give up
most Of our paper this week, a. their letters will
prove Of more interest than any other matter We could
insert
We hear that the licenses Of the Maine Hotel and
Liberty Hall have b en- withdrawn and those places
closed, ON the charge Of selling liquor to natives.
This is al right ii the proof is sufficient but report
says other liquor shops which are quite as open yiO-
lAtors Of the law, will not b. interferel with. Can il
DC that our Government = make fish of one and flesh
Of anOthcr?' Are any in authority interested in the
liquor trade?
The LaekarGHHS will leave for Hilo the latter part
OF next week, to be absent two or three weeks prob
ably.
A. soon as the Y. +. trades return. we shall have
n fleet Of from ten to twenty whalers arrive, as the
bulk Of them i due early in November.
We have in port today a total Of forty vessels.
American Ten, FIVE, THREE and Two.cents postage
stamps can be obtained at the bookstore. All letters
must be prepaid with stamps.
