NOTES OF THE WEEK.

' THE EUCALYPTUS TREE-Among the finest shade
and forest trees lately introduced is the Eucalyptus
tree. 1t is n native of Australia, we believe, and
to Captain Makee belongs the credit of its introduce
ton. He has several thousands growing at Ulupala-
kua, some of which are fifty or sixty feet in height.
Quite a number of small trees of this variety can be
seen in Honolulu,-in DR.. Hoffman's premises in
Nuuanu street and Mr.. Roses in Fort street. 1t is
a rapid grower and promises to be fine shade tree,
but requires an abundance of water. In Australia
it is known as a gum-tree. 1t has been introduced
into California, and on one farm in Castro Valley,
Alameda County, a forest grove of fifty acres has
been planted, numbering forty thousand trees, many
of which are fifty feet high. An exchange says that
g the largest of these trees are but FIVE years old,
erect, straight, vigorous growth, and fifty feet high.
They are elegant ornamental trees, somewhat resem-
bling the laurel, but more majestic and massive in
figure and foliage. The wood is hard, and the timber
useful for many purposes. Their peculiar flavor and
fragrance being disagreeable to animals keeps them
from being eaten or gnawed. Hence the gum-trees
can safely be set where other sorts of trees would be
destroyed. The past winter has been severe, but not
one of the tender little trees in this grove has been
killed" Persons wishing to obtain the Eucalyptus
tree can do so by applying to Mr.. HOlstein of Ulu-
palakua, who has n large number on hand. The
silver leaf variety is by many deemed the handsOmest
and best shade tree.

WHAT THEY SAY IN C~HINA.-The Shanghae Nsrs
Letter, in an article discussing the emigration of
laborers to the Southern States, in which it depre-
Gates the present coolie trade, uses the following
language:
"The subject is not without grave difficulties.
Much will depend on the personal character of the
subordinate agents employed to engage the laborers
in China, much on the honesty with which they COM
ply with our immigration laws. Any system, 6assd
on contracts for long service signed in China, is
liable TO q thousand abuses, and unless checked By a
rigid enforcement of Iaw, degenerates into u virtual
siaUs trade. A starving coolie will resign his birth
right as readily as Esau, and any attempt by emigra-
ton agents to act the part of Jacob must result in
disappointment to those who are Ultimately to have
the coolies services. Much also will depend on the
laws which the different States may make regarding
the Chinese, whether the latter are to be protected
from the opposition Of riva! labCrers, or whether
they are to be weighted by social or legal disabilities

THE REFoRMArORY SCHOoL.-The Industrial and
~Reformatory School established by the Government
at Kapalama appears, not only by the printed report
of the President of the Board of Education, but by
the personal observation of all who have interested
themselves to look into its operations, to have be-
come one of the best and most useful institutions of
the country. Under the management of Miss Par
ker, it has become a subject of especial remark,
more particularly with the natives, what a wonder
full change has come over the supposed-to-be the
most unruly boys, who have been committed to this
school, either by legal process CT by the request of
parents. The, boys are contented and happy, well
fed, well clothed and lodged, and, what is very i'm
portant, taught self respect and good manners. 1t
is Il very pleasant thing to see these youngsters go
ing to church of a Sunday in a body, along with
their teacher, looking bright, clean, and orderly in
their conduct. The surest criterion of the moral
success of this school is found in the fact. the truth
Of which we are well advised, that some of the boys,
when allowed to go out and visit their friends, were
anxious to go back again as soon as possible. These,
too, were some of the sO-called Neutrality-suspicious..

FIRE ExTINGUIsHERs.-The utility of these admir-
able machines was demonstrated not long since on
the Haiku Plantation. The manager, Mr.. Goodale,
states that a pile of trash in the furnace room took
fire and in a few moments was blazing up to the root,
with the ordinary appliances for putting out the fire
with water he believes it would have been impossible
to save the boiling house, but by the use of the
extinguisher it was almost instantaneously subdued.
On another occasion a fire of minor Importance was
extinguished on the same plantation. The loss to a
taking off a crop ready for the mill, would be meal
culable. In this instance it was averted by the
timely use of one of these extinguishers. Surely
common prudence should lead any parties interested
in plantations to see them provided with these ma
chimes. Their portability and ease of management
render them available in all cases.

THE PUBLIC PRINTING NUIsANCE.-Mr Latin,
Representative from New York, has introduced a bill
in Congress to abolish certain kinds of printing at
once, and gradually the whole system. His bill pro-
poses a saving of $4,000 the first year, and
81 200, 900 a year at the end of the tenth year. As
a rule this thing of printing papers and documents
at the expense Of a State or Nation, IN the way it
has been conducted, is all wrong and a sheer waste
of money. Nine-tenths of the public printing done
is worth no more than waste paper, though, printing
and mail carriage included, it costs millions every
year. The sooner it is done away with the better.

PACIFIC TE~LEGRAPH.-The telegraph news given
by us last week, reported that Mr.. Cyrus W. Field
had ~petitioned Congress to authorize him to lay the
Pacific cable from San Francisco, and to grant him
certain land subsidies. He will probably obtain the
first of his requests, but we hope no land bonus will
ever be given to any telegraph company. Twenty
five per cent. interest per anuum, is surely enough
to bring out all the capital needed to lay this line.
Mr.. Field thinks that $500 miles of cable will be
REQUIRED for the Pacific line.

STEAMERS TO ARRIvE.-The Australian steamer
City OF Melbourne, if she left Sydney, when adver-
tised, April 9th, ought to arrive here tomorrow or
Monday. But as the object of her charterers is SIM
Div to have her arrive in time to connect with the
Idaho, without much detention here, it is more proba-
bic that her day of sailing from Sydney was put of, so
that she may be in about the same time with the
Idaho, which will be due on Saturday the 21st inst ,
and sail on the following Friday.
e Rev. Frank Thompson, of Hio, will preach
at the Bethel tomorrow. at II o'clock.

e An attempt was made, early on Monday
morning last. by three white men, to steal the
schooner Waruick, a little twenty-ton yacht, which
was lying alongside the esplanade. The parties had
stolen a boat from the brig Francisco near by, and
loosing the schooner towed her out past the light
house, when they commenced hosting the sails.
This reused the native captain and crew, who came
up. and finding their vessel starting on a foreign
voyage without the owners orders, prepared to as
sert their authority. The thieves thereupon beat a
hasty retreat to their boat, and escaped ashore. No
clue has been had as to who they were, but it is sup
posed they were sailors connected with one of the
vessels in port, -

Attempted House Burning.

Thursday last, about 2 o'clock A. NJ, a stranger
OF not very prepossessing appearance called at
the Park House, in this city, and called for
lodgings. The night watchman gave him room
IN the third story. At about four o'clock cou-
pie OF gentlemen waiting for the early morning
train in the hotel office, took short walk out
upon the street, and on returning discovered
smoke Issuing from window in the third story
of the Park House. and at once rushed in and
gave the alarm of fire, arousing the people with.
In. On reaching the locality of the fire the por-
ter met the suspicious lodger coming down
stairs in an apparently highly indignant mood
exclaimng, "By you want to smother me
out, do you,' Reaching his room it was found
that the lamp was standing in the middle of the
floor, all the bed clothes piled upon it and live
ly confagration going on, which in two more
minutes would have caused the destruction of
not only the Park House, but probably of the
entire block OF frame buildings around il a. we'll

mouse, SO as to enable him TO escape; but the hip
roof was SO high that there was not room enough
tor him 10 get out, so he had to 90 out through
the door. He ieigned drunkenness, said he had
lost $50 in the room by the FIRE, and threatened
to sue Mr. Day, the landlord, for the amount
and pretended TO pick up some change on the
floor, and Mr.. Day did find, to corroborate the
story, ohe dollar counterfeit hill. Under the bed
were found several brickbats as if, when danger
of arrest might come when caught in the act to
defend himself. He had not been arrested a..

The man referred to above as having set fire
to the Park House, was indicted BY the grand
jury, yesterday afternoon, and is now in jail.
