NEW Goops.-The ship Ceyion arrived yesterday,
bringing a large and select cargo of goods, which
will soon be open for inspection ut the stores of our
merchants. See the full column notice of Messrs.
Brewer & Co., on the second page; The arrival of
this fine ship will be welcome news to many.
-Messrs. Grinbaum & Co., call public attention to
their new goods, of which they received over $50
cases by the last steamer. These gentlemen appear
to have learned the secret of success in trade, adrer-

- BOYS, read Parton's advice to you on the
fourth page. Every word he says is true. Only
those who have served a long and patient apprentice
ship in any branch of trade or any business, and
have become thoroughly and practically acquainted
with its details, are qualified to commence and con-
duct business on their own account. Herein is the
secret of success and failure-to knoW the rdlue Of
money. Every young man should continue his term
of apprenticeship till he has learned the value of a
dollar, he it five, ten or twenty years, and the more
thoroughly he has learned this lesson, the surer will
be his success and the larger his gains.

DEATH OF A HAwAIIAN SISGER.-Our readers
will remember the fine soprano singer in the choir of
KawaiahaO church, who possessed n voice of unusual
power and sweetness. Her name was Kikaha, a
native Hawaiian, and her death was from lung COM
plaint. At the concerts given at the above church
during the past two years, she was considered the
most accomplished singer that appeared on those oc-
casiOns. -
TIE VoLCANo.-The atmosphere the past week has
been unusually smoky, giving rise to the supposition
that there has been a new eruption on Hawaii. AZ
bright light was seen over Hawaii from Waimanalo
on Tuesday night. When the schooner .4nnie left
Hilo on Saturday, the smoke from Kilauea was I'M
usually dense, but up TO that time no new eruption
had been reported. If the steamer is in early this
morning we may have the facts in time to report in
this issue.
2. S.-The steamer brings no news from the volA
clno, nor furnishes any clue TO the origin of the
smoky atmosphere. Hawaii is enveloped in smoke
the same as this island.
2 \ FALSE ALARM was given on Sunday morn
ing last, to which the fremen promptly responded.
IL proved to be from a native oven between Smith
and Maunakea streets. The person who caused the
alarm was arrested and very properly fined ten dol
lars. The fremen are always ready for duty, but do
not relish being called up at > o'clock A. NJ. to put
out native omdS or ovens.
FIRST PAGE.-"La Paz'' has another of his in
teresting sketches on the first page, describing Ka-
waihae and Waimea on Hawaii, places which are not
often so wildly pictured.

WILL ENGLAND AND RUSSIA FIGHT IN AsIA.-As
might have been anticipated. a loud trumpet blast
for war reaches England from India. as a conse-
quence of the Russian victories in Central Asia.
The Anslo-lndians appear to regard the Russian
aggressions with undisguised alarm. and demand
that England shall meet the foe half way. and con-
tend. like Alexander, for the Empire of Asia. The
war feeling in India, stimulated by the successes
in Abyssinia. has reached fever heat, and a power
full pressure has been brought to bear upon the
General to induce him to declare war
