STREET IMPROVEMENT beginning has been made
by government in opening School street between
Nuuanu and Liliha. The location has been fixed on
and the land purchased, but the paitry appropriation
of two thousand dollars, asked for by the Ministers
and voted by the Legislature, having been exhausted
in the purchase, we are Informed that the work OF
improvement must now cease until a further appro-
priation is made. This is harassing, to be sure but
under the present system, it must be submitted to.
If the road is ever opened, it will be n great improve
ment to that neighborhood, and tend to enhance the
value of property around it.

REMARKABLE NEws.-We copy the following from
an exchange:
Mamma Lo,. a ,dome-slared volcanic mountain, on the Island
of Hawaii, contains two lakes. side by side, one OF fresh water
oud m. ,ther salt. Both are FAR above the level OF the sea- and
il !. believed that there is no connection between the salt lake
and the ocean. The deposits of salt in the former are now made
u,eo of bv persons who have established salt works
Some itemizer has probably got hold OF the Item
published in n Gazette of March last, which located
the salt pond now being worked by Col. Prendergast,
nj Maunalua, instead of Moanalua, and looking up
his geographical dictionary, has taken the descrip-
of NIauna Loa as a text from which has been
manufactured the above sensational item. This goes
to show how false tales will travel. The Gazette
should be more cautious in future.

4 BLIND MusIcIAS.-Musical celebrities usually
manage to make the acquaintance OF our ne'ghoor
the Doctor. For some days past a blind youth, from
Kauai, has occupied his door step and held forth to
an admiring audience. His songs are sometimes IN
English, at other times in Hawaiian adapted to for
eign melodies, accompanied by an ACCORDION lie
MANAGES to discourse music on q bamboo flute with
wonderful ease. With n little training and more
nerfect instruments, his concerts would be very in
teresting and entertaining.

REGULAR LAIuNA PACKET.-By advertisement 1t
will be seen that the schooner .Ntftie Merrill Is TO be
placed on the Lahaina route. We congratulate
the good people of that burgh in having such a
vessel for a packet, and hope that her enterprising
owners will be supported. The Mary Ellen, which
has carried the broom so long on that route, will have
to look to her laurels. Sitting up nights and working
trayerses as Crane is said to do, may possibly save
the -Iarv EYlen's reputation. Pluck can do u good
deal. even when the odds are against one.

UNITED STATES MARINE HosPITAL--During the
past week business led us to visit the United States
Marine Hospital. now under the management of DR..
John s. McGrew. We found the premises, 50 long
known as the = Main Hotel completely metamor-
phosed. The fence and buildings rejoicing in n new
coat of lime wash the yard, clean, well drained and
devoid of garbage or rubbish, has certainly put a new
face on the outward appearance. On entering the
sick ward, located in large airy rooms.a and furnished
with light iron bedsteads we found the inmates, but
six or eight in number at the present time, very
much at their ease and comfort. On enquiry We
found them perfectly satisfied with the treatment re-
ceived at the hands of the Hospital staff, while they
extolled the culinary department. We were glad to
find American sailors so well cared for.
