The Monarch.

By permission of his government, Capt. Com
merell of the iron ship Monarch, which brought
over the remains of the late Mr.. Peabody to Port.
land, has been permitted to visit Annapolis
Maryland, the nearest point to the National Capital
that she could reach. On the arrival OF the ship
there, the Captain was received by the Secre-
tary OF the Navy. The Governor of Maryland
and the State Legislature also visited the noble
ship, which is probably the most powerful iron
clad in the world.
While at Washington, in reply to an inquiry
made by the Chairman of the Naval Committee,
capt. said that his ship cost e3OO, 900
(Sl'5OO, OoO) and her engines eco, 900 (or $780,
oOo.) 1t is pleasant to see this great peace
maker engaged on such a mission as the present
visit to America. In the late illustrated papers
Will be found pictures of this ship.
1t is said the officers of the BROOKLYN Navy
Yard, have invited Capt. Commerell and the off,
GERS OF the Monarch to a grand ball and supper.
to be given within the precincts of the BROOKLYN
Navy Yard, and that they have accepted. Such
international courtesies as the visit of Prince Ar
thur and that of the ship Monarch cannot have
any other result than to remove iealousies and
bring about more pleasant relations between the
two most powerful nations on the earth.

NJ Ioka Paiia e William b. BODICE, 1869.
The above is the title of the latest addition to
Hawaiian literature, which has been published
by DE. G.. p Judd, who has taken out a copyright
for the book. 1t is a free translation OF the very
nonular little volume known as The PIONEER Boy,
being a biographical sketch of the late President
Lincoln. The story was found to be SO attractive
to American youth, and the example it set before
them so worthy of imitation that the Doctor
conceived the thought of having it translated
for our Hawaiian youth. In doing this he must
have been prompted by the same benevolent mo-
tiyes which have always Inspired him, and which
led him TO spend a valuable life among this
neonle to help e~nlighten and Christianize them.
We Judge that benevolence was the chief motive,
for no one knows better than he the risk and cost
attending all Hawaiian publications-few or none
of which ever return to the publisher even the
first cost.
The volume before US is a very neatly printed
duodecimo book of 300 pages, with several illus
trations, handsomely bound with gilt back-all
furnished for one dollar. As books are now sold
in the United States, the cost of a volume of this
size would be at least Sl.75 or $500. We trust
that every Hawaiian youth will own a copy of
the Pioneer Boy, and that foreigners who can read
the vernacular will also aid the enterprise by buy
Inc the book, which can be obtained at the book
store.

Jubilee. The head was composed of twenty-three
sheep skins and two calf skins, and as may be
supposed, when beaten with the huge four foot
drum-stick, must have emitted a tremendous
sound. There were two thousand school chill
dren present, who had their sing, no doubt to
the immense delight of the PateT, and mater
tamiHa, and the audience at large, consisting OF
no less than fifteen thousand persons.
The concerts were held in the large building
known as the Mechanics Pavilion, the largest on
the Pacific coast, erected some years ago for the
purposes of the Fairs Of the Mechanics Institute.

have been a scene never to be forgotten, and
second only in grandeur to that witnessed at the
Peace Jubilee at Boston. San Francisco never

cess, and realized about $50, 900.

city of the Pacific with unprecedented honor.
Besides the parade of the military, and the usual
artillery s~alutes, there was a boat regatta, etc,
the city and shipping were decorated with bunt-

generally closed, the teeming population of the

DR.. LIvISGsToNE.-The New York Tribune of
February Sd, speaking of the reported death OF this
traveller. says:
DR.. David Livingstone is reported to have been
burned in Africa as q wizard. for snch was the
character, he long bore there. We could in some
respects have better spared Africa than Livingstone.
His was a courage of the most exalted order, for it
stood the tests of lonliest isolation and widest soli-
tnde. and absolute ~self-exile from the company OF
the civilized and the humane. He was a new
Greatheart in the strangest Pilgrims Progress
which these latter days have known. Heroic piety
sustained him living and dying, in all that sublime
mission which one unaided but not inspired man
undertook for the sake of God and bis fellows. To
be burnt as a wizard was not the fate which man
kind would have imagined for such a benefactor as
Livingstone but it crowned with sacred fire aud
recommended to Heaven the lifelong sacrifice OF a
man whom the world will claim among Its martyrs.
We hope that the present news may prove as I'M
true as a previous report of Livingstone's death.
1t does not. however. reach us in a shape that we
are now able TO question.

HuiahuIns aud Beer Shops.

Ma. EDITOR While I perfectly agree with you in
condemning the native hula as generally known, as
being immoral and indecent, still l apprehend that
YOU are slightly in error in assuming that the law
providing for licensing the hula is an encouragement
to the practice. The fact is, that the law operates
| almost as a prohibition of the hula, inasmuch. as it
provides that the Minister of the Interior may grant
a license for n hula performance,-thus leaving it
discretionary with him to grant or to withhold. L
think the discretionary power is vested safely, for
the ancient hula is almost entirely unknown at
present. But were there no license provided for, we
would soon witness in every part of the country a
repetition of the disgusting orgies that were formerly
30 common.
I hear a good deal Of the evils of beers hops. 1t
is said that there are no less than forty places in this
city where so-called beer is sold to natives. The
compound is manufactured here, supposed to be of
hops and molasses, although in some instances other
and less innocent ingredients are said to be used.
Some varieties are called banana beer, orange cider,
mango cider, ETC., without however any of those
fruits entering into the composition. Now the reason
why these beer shops are 80 numerous. is because
there is no license required. ANY sailor who lands
here with six bits in his pocket, or any native, no
matter what his character may be, can set up q beer
shop. These shops are 80 numerous that the police
are unable to prove in which particular establishment
q native gets drunk, and so they all go clear. Sam
pies of this beer have been analysed, and found to
contain from q to 6 per cent. of alcohol. The
simple remedy for this growing evil is the enactment
of q law by the coming Legislature, empowering the
Minister of the Interior. an his discretion, to grant
and sale of home-brewed beer. By this means, the
police will have the supervision of the beer shops, the
number will be circumscribed, and the quality of the
beverage improved. Yours, A. B.

EARTHQUAKE IN SAN FRANcIsco.-Our n~eighbors
across the big pond have been enjoying the luxury
of q third-rate earthquake, which occurred on the
18th of February, and appears to have done no
damage except as it frightened a few nervous peo-
ple. driving them out of hotels and dwellings. The
Bulletin gives the following description of the fright
At the hotels in the city the CONSERVATION was
great. There was q universal stampede for the out
side. Ladies and children screamed, and many of
the former tainted through terror and fear. Every
street was black with people before the shock had
fairly ceased.
At the Washington Street Baptist Church there
was q large congregation in attendance on funeral
ceremonies. There was the silence of the tomb, and
the choir had just started up "The Rock Of Ages -
when the earth lifted and trembled. All knew in
stantiy what was at hand. The pastor and congre-
cation were seized with the impulse to run, and a
rush was made for the door. Four OF five ladies
tainted and fell down in the aisles others screamed
and called for help. Several teams in front of the
church ran away. Some of the ladies were put in
carriages and conveyed home in an unconscious
state. Fortunately, no one was, seriously injured.
Immediately after earth's trembling had subsidized.
the streets presented an interesting panorama. The
man who was not frightened-but who still trem-
bled from fear-could be seen talking and making
gestures. Then there was the man who was sure
great damage had been done. almost dislocating his
neck to look at the upper stories of tall buildings
and straining his eyes to find q shattered pane of
glass. To him every little creVice appeared double
its real size, and every other building seemed out of
plumb.
A buxom matron of about f~orty-fve summers was
vending her way along Battery street, near Wash
ington, when the shock commenced, and she was
perfectly demoralized for the time being. Contrary
to the general estimate of maternal affection, she
deposited her cherub on the curbstone and started
off on a keen run. She subsequently remembered
that she had left something behind, and returned for
the babe.
A gentleman who had been enjoying his bath in
the Occidental Hotel appeared in the street in a very
natural state ladies in their morning gowns, for
getting ~chignons, bustles, etc., joined in the SIAM
pede, and costumes were forgotten in the general
panic

The Australian steam Line.

Considerable interest attaches to this sub
ject, and though nothing very definite has trans
pired or beer learned concerning it since our last
issue, yet one or twOr umOrs have reached us.
First, it is stated by telegraph from Mr.. Webb,
who is in New York, that no contract has yet
been signed in London with any English company
to perform the service; and as matters now stand,
the chances are better for the establishment of his
line than of any other. His agent is now in Aus
tralia, fully empowered to close any contracts that
may be offered. As soon as he succeeds, the steam
ers will commence running; but as the Colonial
subsidies depend on legislative action, there may
be some delay in getting the complete authority
to close the various contracts to be made.
BY the bark AdeLid Carlton, which touched at
this port on Monday from Sydney, we learn
that a steamer was advertised by the Amer
lean Consul, Mr.. Hall, to sail March II for Homo
lulu and San Francisco. Passengers by the bark
think that she would obtain n large number of
passengers. 1t was reported, however, that the
vessel might only come as far as Honolulu, and
transfer her passengers to the Holiday steamer.
If she left Sydney even by the Goth of March, she
will be due here by April Is, in season to CON-
meet with the next San Francisco steamer. As we
stated before, these are only reports, and nothing
certain is known regarding the expected pioneer
steamer from Sydney.
We also hear it stated thai a larger steamer
probably the Ajdr) may be expected from San
Francisco in April, to accommodate the large
number of passengers planning to leave here on the
Goth of that month. Even if none arrive from
Sydney, there will be from eighty to one hundred
going over from this port.
