A HAWAIIAN GExruMAN.-Among the passengers
by the steamer Iiah0 WAS Mr.. J. MoASAULI, "A native
Hawaiian, who has conceived the idea of spending a
few months in travelling in the Unitel States, and
learning from experience whether the pleasures of q
moonlight sleigh ride are really what they are said TO
be. He went in company with Mr.. John :. Lowe,
superintendent of the Princeyille Plantation, and
will probably return with him. while in Washing
ton he expects TO call on the President visit the two
houses Of Congress, and see all the sights Of that as
well as other American cities. Mr.. Moanauli is one
Of the best specimens of educated and intelligent Ha-
waiians we have. He was for many years connected
with the PolyResIan Office, but for the last fifteen
years has been clerk for Mr.. T. o. Hall, being at the
same time largely engaged in the poi trade, in which
and lucky investments in real estate, he has become
comparatively independent. He was one of the orig
insl proprietors of the Ru0koa newspaper, and has
always been a hearty supporter of native literature
= His Ercellency C. c. Harris, late envoy to
Washington, invited a number of sugar planters and
agents of plantations, to meet him at his office on
Thursday last at IL \. VI. The meeting was well
attended, and he laid before il some facts regarding
his mission to Washington and the efforts to secure
the ratification of the Reciprocity Treaty, and how
the measure now stands. He stated that he still had
hopes of its passage by the new Congress, and that
Senator Sumner also had. Nothing new or impor-
tant was developed nj the conference, and the gener-
al impression appears to be that much uncertainty
attaches to its ratification, unless the Canadian Reel
procity Treaty is brought forward, and receives
favor, when it may he wise again to make special
efforts to secure the passage of our treaty, by the
employment of a special agent and by enlisting the
support of the Pacific Congressional delegations,
which are generally in its favor.
- Arc we TO understand by this one-sidcd meet
ing, that the sugar-planters are the only parties i'll
terested in the mission of the envoy and in the rati-
fcation Of this treaty: We had supposed that every
merchant, farmer and mechanic was more or less
concerned in its passage. 1t may be n mistake, how
ever. -
ANUsEMENTs.-" Martin the Wizard has given
n series of entertainments the past week To full houses.
On Thursday evening, on the occasion of the illusion
of the " Floating Head" he performed before a fash
ionable and appreciative audience. The &" Floating
Head was a highly finished performance, and clio
tied much applause. Among the illusions, the
&" Magic Rings and d" Hat and Chinese Lanterns 3"
were most cunningly performed. The ''Magic Drum
however. drew out the most applause. We heard many
explanations as to the secret of the performance, but
Oul tnust vic III CuTlOu 10 KNOW IN secret
to go and hear the Wizards explanation. The tricks
Of VentriloquiSm were very fair, and the scene be-
tween the Wizard and the refractory child. excited
much mirth. The aurOmaton figures were operated
with a great deal of skill, and were well received.
We wish that an afternoon performance could he
given of some of the illusions aud figures for the ben
eft of the numerous children of our city. So long as
the Wizard is as literally patronized AS at present,
we suppose he will continue his performances. The
programme tonight will be among the best Of the
week. -
