To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
I anu quite anxious to become an official of some
kind-wiIl 90 to China after laborers if 1 can get a
chance, and have some claims to this appointment
which I may present at some future time but / am
told even this matter has got into q ring, or into the
hands of a ring, and the Board merely says ia. L
would like to be Consul for some respectable power,
and was once offered a chance, but the party in power
was not quite in accordance with my political views,
so 1 foolishly declined, from principle, and considered
1 was right until, lately, 1 have seen a very worthy
citizen accept an appointment from n power that less
than one hundred years ago had some little misun-
derstanding with some other sections of the good old
Teutonic family, and no one stood up more bold in
the expression of his views or more fercely in favor
of the great Chieftain Bismarck, and no one was
more ready to bet his dollar on the results of a late
struggle than my friend, the citizen alluded to.
Now, l am q firm believer in changing sides when
and this is just about my style of doing
e., when 1 see L have been wrong, to quietly
90 before my own conscience. (not the public,) say
so to myself, change my coat and go ahead. think
1 shall do the same. The old idea of consistency is
considered by modern politicians as defunct. and all
aspirants for political favors should SO consider it,
and be governed merely by the issues of the day
(and, say spoils Of the party.)
/ would like to get the appointment Of japanese
Consul, and 1 am a firm supporter of the present
Emperor, or whatever his real title may be, and
have said so for the past ten years, and never bet a

~ The band of the DOaau has been on shore
several times this past week. On Sunday they were
on Emma Square during the afternoon. On Wednes-
day afternoon and evening they were at the residence
of the Austrian Consul. A number of ladies and
gentlemen took advantage of the opportunity and got
up an impromptu dance, which lasted well towards
the small hours of Thursday. The music which this
band discourses is a rare treat to our citizens.
SHADE TREEs.-Person desirous of having fine
shade trees on their premises should plant the seed
during the present month. We have a few seeds of
the Samang or Monkey Pod tree for gratuitous dis
tribution, to such parties as will take pains to plant
and then care for the young trees.
~ We learn that three OF more of the South Sea
Islanders imported by the agents of the Board of
immigration, have died lately. We hope some one
is keeping the statistics of mortality among these
islanders, as they will be of Importance in coming to
a conclusion as to the desirability of farther impOr-
tapons. -
YONE OF THE OLDEST INHABITANTS ~GoNE--There
died on Maui, in December last, a native named Ma
hiku, who must have been over one hundred years of
age. He distinctly remembered seeing Capt. Cooks
ships. Other old men on Maui agree that Nahiku
was an old man when they were boys.

- In reading Sewell's very interesting work on
the British West Indies, We were struck with his re-
marks in regard to prisons and their discipline. lie
says:
Prison discipline is a farce, and a sentence to
hard labor perfect moonshine. / have seen these
hard labor convicts' moving along the roads in
gangs at n funeral pace, and LOOKING 1or all the
world as though they were hunting up cockroaches.
They are allowed to stop and talk with girls. and
amuse themselves in any manner they like. There
is no fear of their escaping. Many of the dlssipafed
seamps about town, actually steal in order to get
into the penitentiary, they are so well treated there.
They have good food, their bath, and easy exercise
every day. The convict, when released, laughs over
his Imprisonment, and boasts of his good fare. He
does not consider that Imprisonment a bar to future
employment, or any reason why he should not be
trusted again"
We do not know how prisoners are treated within
the walls of the prison here, but to see them moving
out towards Waikiki, as we have frequently seen
them, they certainly are not hurried much. They
can be seen stroling along singly or in groups OF
two or three, laughing and chatting with wayfarers,
while a mile or so in the rear the "luna i" Will be
found ambling along on a comfortable looking horse
We have been told by a reliable party who is inter-
ested in contract laborers OH this island, that the
laborers on a certain plantation were threatened
with the prison, and that they cooly replied that
they had no objection to going to prison, for when
sent out in gangs they did not have to work very
hard and had a chance to make something besides.
1t is well known that natives who serve out a term
in prison do not feel ~disgraced by it, taking it about
as Sewell says the West Indian does.
VOTERs.-The inspectors of elections for the district
of Honolulu have issued an alphabetical list of persons
who had paid their taxes on or before the Both of
November. The list comprises about twelve hundred
names. Notice is also given that parties who claim
the right to vote, and who are not registered, will be
heard by the inspectors on Wednesday, the 18th and
Monday the Oath of January, at the tax collectors
office on Marine street.
- On New Years day the Hon. Asa Hopu, of
Hama, Maui, gave an entertainment to his constitu-
ency. A feast was prepared for the largest assem-
blage brought together in that locality for many
years. A procession was formed and a band of
musicians took the lead. The cotton, tobacco, taro
and ava planters were out in full force, together
with the laborers of the sugar plantation.
