Ma. EDITOR The heated term, which is as
yet hardly over, has exceeded, the old residents
sny, past summers almost time out Of mind, in
the prolonged continuance, and extreme heat Of
the warm weather. The sun, by It's direct infu-
ence during the past six weeks, may claim honor
able mention with Yellow Jack and Asiatic
Cholera This dodsing sunstrokes through the
close dusty streets Is neither agreeable nor excit-
ing, and when one cUntemplates his linen, regret
full IOnsings arise for the early fashions of Eden,
for the latest style Of the kingsmiIl Islanders
Everything il town or country wears the character
and costume Of the season.
General HartweII, the new Associate Judge for
the Hawaiian Supreme Bench, made the
recipient Of n very pleasant entertainment, few
weeks ago, at General NlarshalI's place ut River
side, given by the Hawaiian Club. The party
was made up OF old island residents, and others
interested in the islands and numbered forty or
fifty ladies anil gentlemen The rcIast was
spread under the trees, and after the manner with
which the fruit and ices and coffee, real Kona,
and other eteeter.ps, disappeared, nothing was
wanting to prove their excellence.
An object Of special interest on the grounds was
N hut furnished i'm the Hawaiian style, with mats,
hikise, various atensls and curiosities, giving
strangers a very good idet ef the interior Of a
common native house, sdifc o. a few long-eSntss
iiis,waiians who stood contemplating with an
absent air the promises, scarce controlling now
and then involuntary smack Is IL expecting a
well-Glled calabash to slide out from some corner
for their sensual qualification, it was doubtless u
lively reminder OF other dlysS and perhaps To
some a symbol Of hope Of n good time coming
when former scenes should be revisited. The
afternoon wore PLEASANTLY away in renewing old
acquaintance, and making ones ; in exchange
of news, and the discussion Of Hawaiian political
affairs. In the latter there enough variety
of opinion to make it interesting. Croquet, and
boating on the Charles River, which nearly sur
rounds the place, helped to hll out the day the
party returning to Bo~tOn by the evening trains.
The College commencrmcuts have attracted the
usual interest this year Ii is interesting fact
that at Harvard n black student took the first
prize for elocutiOn. Massachusetts, il still ahead
on the question Of equal rights.
] was present at the College regatta of the 24th
Glr., at Lake Quinsisamaud, which it is safe to
cay attracts as much attention from the public
all the College Commeucements put together; it
is certainty worth seeing once. The Harvards
they will have hard work to beat themselves here
after. IL is pleasure 10 look ut these men, such
is the perfection OF their muscular development
the result of their training; lean and wiry, like
a race horse, without an ounce Of superluOus
flesh visible, and muscles which stand out hard
and firm like bars of steel. \ touch Of this kind
of training would not hurt most men, and would
be well, If introduced among you.
Congress has adjourned without ratifying the
Hawaiian Treaty. The manner in which this
treaty has been compelled TO dance attendance on
the whims Of the Senate during the last nine
months, always having to stand aside for other
business, even down to any detestable Indian
treaty, shows the feeling with which the Hawaii
an Government is here regarded - the result,
doubtless, in great part, of the treatment which
the LackG,TaHHd received at the Islands
We hear Of the adjournment of the Hawaiian
legislature and are content with the steam sub
sIdy bill, though deeming it uncalled for, mas
much rs steam commerce is destined 10 expand
over the broad Pacific just fast as the require
Eents Of trade and travel call for it.
Very truly yours, FREMONT.
