Lolteries--RIght or wronsI

morality of lotteries, under the head Of " Right or

strsction somewhat "into the ground AbstractIy,
investing in q lottery ticket is trusting to chance for
good fortune, and by your reasoning, whenever one
" chances his luck, - he becomes o gambler. II this

the shipper, nine times out Of ten, trusts TO luck 10

to every ayocation in life, hardly excepting even the
farmer, whose occupation may be considered the one
upon which all others depend-even he trusts 10 the

Interesting Phenomenon.

Mr.. EDITOR 1T will be remembered that the sci
few weeks ago, in trying to account for the breaking
and violent displacement Of q cast iron monument
recently erected in one Of the cemeteries Of the town.
It was satisfactorily explained, at least TO the salts
faction Of the writer, in your paper, and the excite
ment suddenly subsidized, and no more has been heard
of the matter, from that day to this. But wonders
never cease. Science is again called upon to explain
q still more wonderful phenomenon, which occurred
in quite another part Of the town within a week or
ten days, and cast iron is again the subject Of the
mystery.
Something like q year ago, q gentleman sent TO
England for a cast iron lamp post, and ON its arrival,
had il firmly planted in front of his valley residence,
where, on dark nights, it has been lighted for the
benefit Of the public, and his own convenience. And
he paid for it.
But Judge of his surprise, last Sunday morning,
when he discovered his cast iron lamp post had trans
ported itself bodily across the street, and had quietly
replanted itself in front Of a gentleman's residence,
and stood ready for the first dark night 10 illuminate
the entrance Of the favored individual 70 whom IL
had taken a liking.
Here is a new question for the Swans. Was IL cleo
tricity, natural expansion, or what, that acted upon
this lamp post and caused IL TO turn this remarkable
somersault across the street,
The gentleman to whom the cast iron lamp post
belongs feels a lively interest in knowing, because he
is anxious TO have the same power applied to his
neighbours granite gate posts, in hopes that they may
be removed with equal facility, and substituted for
his wooden posts, which he regards as inferior.
Please bring this interesting question TO the atten-
ton Of our local scientists, for who knows what i'm
mense results may be involved in the discovery Of a
new motive power, whose ~incipient development is 50
marvellous. q.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10.
For the P. C. Advertiser

For the +. z Advertiserl
Mr.. EDITOR 1t appears that the Dolores
Cgarte has visited Honolulu, with a cargo of
coolies, confined under gratings in a hold densely
packed, with decks guarded by cannon. barbados
and armed men that she has lost a number
(unknown) of her coolies by sickness and suicide,
and sent forty-three on shore. 1t also appears
that she lay for three days within the jurisdiction
of this kingdom, unmolested, holding her captives
in unrelieved bondage. and has gone on her way a
floating Andersoryille, with her hopeless bondmen,
fostering, dying, and cursing us who did not
help them.
Our claim to be a Christian land is often
secuted because Hawaiians are so far below the
accepted standard of Christian morality. But
what is to be said of the Christianity of the
whites? In what other port in the world inhab-
tied by a prevailing community of enlightened
Protestant Christians, could the Dolores UgGrte
or any other slave ship have kept her five hundred
fainting captives under matches a single day ?
Where is your public sentiment, your Indignation
meetings? Your r~esistless popular wrath? Where
else would the hesitating efforts of generous men
to deliver the bondsmen be ridiculed by a govern
ment organ as :" Philanthropy on the R~ampage?'
What Christianity is this " Behold, l was in
prison, and We visited me not !"
This affair leaves a deep and lasting disgrace on
Honolulu, and us all. 1t is made manifest that
our humanity has declined, and our consciences
are blunted. Where are our declared abolition
lists? Where is our enthusiasm for the American
war against slavery? Now when a slave ship
comes to our own doors, some- cry out, some
mock, and no one is alert to help effectively.
Had the souls on board that ship been in bodies
of European extraction, would they have been
left in that hold? No sir, no power in Honolulu
would have kept you all from rising en- masse to
release them. But they were only Cinnamon.
And you call yourselves enlightened Christians.
1t is time for every man who cares for his own
moral condition or that of his townsmen, to in
quire what influence it is that has so demoralized
our sentiments on the subject of human bondage?
Let me answer. 1t is c0OHeiSm. It is the system
of holding men in a bondage of any sort, subject
to our wills, under a penal enforcement. 1t
damages master and servant alike.

The Ice SUPPLY.-On Wednesday morning last.
the ice gave out, and that without warning. A gen.
tleman, who had been in the habit Of taking some
thing cooling every forenoon. dropped in as usual at
one of the places Of public resort where they keep
ice, and asked for his customary rink,-ice and soda.
He was told that he was in luck, as the last bit Of
ice was slowly dripping away. He took two drinks
of iced soda out of one lumber full Of ice, and lin
gered long over the last. A fresh supply is shortly
expected, and arrangements will be made to keep it
constantly on hand.

A correspondent of The Dayton (Obio) journal,
writing from the FIJI Islands, is Of opinion that

will. There are, however, abont one hundred cot

long staple sea island cotton, within six months
after planting. The production goes on year after

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

AN INTERESTING CEREMONY.-On Thursday even
ing the Rev. M. KUAEA, one of the tutors of the La
hainaluna Seminary was married to Miss lamar
MAKAIKE. The ceremony, took place in the Kawaia-
hao church, in the presence of a large audience, Rev.
A. o. Forbes officiating, assisted by Rev. II. H.
Parker. Mr.. Kuaea is one of the most talented and
best-educated of the native race. His youthful bride
is also a full Hawaiian, who, under the tutelage of
Miss Odgen and more recently of Miss Bingham, has
received the best education obtainable in these islands,
and is an Uncommon woman, reading and speaking
English and Hawaiian fuently, - a~ffording an
illustration of the good which our female seminaries
are doing in educating the native race. The cere-
mony was conducted in the same manner as is Gus
tomary in our American churches. There were two
bridesmaids, pupils in the seminary, dressed in white,
and decked with wreaths of orange and white jessa-
mine flowers. The whole went off most creditably to
all concerned. After the services in the church, the
couple retired to Miss Bingham's parlors, where
were gathered q larger number of foreigners and
natives than we had expected to meet. The newly
married couple stood at one end of the room, attended
by the grooms and bridesmaids. and received the
hearty alOhdS of their friends. It was a genuine
&c fifteenth amendment gathering, and proved to be
one of the pleasantest reunions ever held here. Mr..
Kuaea with his bride leaves for Lahaina in the Nellie
Merrill to resume his duties as instructor
of the Hawaiian branches in the seminary. The
happy couple carry with them the warm Giohas of a
large circle of friends.

PATENT CHOICES FOR & Co.
have received by the hfani, from Boston, q new in
vention for whaleboats, which is likely to come into
general use. 1t often occurs that after q whale is
struck, the line becomes foul as it runs out through
the chocks, and is damned, either by a kink or
blight, in which case the line must be promptly cut
and the whale probably lost, or the boat will be en-
dangered and the lives of the crew imperilled. The
continuance of which we speak, "Adams' Patent,
New Bedford, - is a composition groove, over which
the line runs. and is fitted with a hinge, against
which any foul in the line must come, upon
which the hinge Immediately turns over and throws
the impediment over the bows. By seeking the line
the hinge can be at once readjusted.
WATER RIGHTs.-There is no more fruitful source
Of quarrels and litigation in these islands than the
rights of different land-holders to their share of the
running water. Especially is this the case when, as
at present, the supply is short, and the taro planter,
even if he gets his fair share, finds hs patches dry
ing up. Consequently there is a good deal of sharp
practice going on, particularly at night time, and the
owner of a patch may awake in the morning and
find that his neighbor has diverted the stream on to
his own land. Then comes . suit for malicious
injury, and before they get through the Courts the
parties will probably find themselves out Of pocket
for costs and lawyers fees, more than the taro was
worth. -

VINO WAS HE efficiently in overhauIing an old
coral stone building on the former school premises
at Kulaokahua, evidences were found that the loft
had at one time been inhabited by some person of
either a very retiring turn of mind. or else one who
by the force of circumstances was compelled to keep
out of sight. In the loft were found a number of
copies of the New York Tribune, of the year 1857.
These had evidently been used to enwrap the food
which from time to time some one had passed up to
the recluse through a hole cut in the ceiling. Several
of these packages of food were found unconsumed,
save by the tooth of time, for the contents were re-
duced to dust. Two tobacco pipes and two pocket
knives were found, and a soiled copy each of
Handy Andy and one of the Waverly novels-a
proof that the unknown was of q literary turn of
mind. Perhaps also, in his solitary condition he
was inclined to be bibulous, for sundry and divers
bottles, labelled 'Martell's,' "Pale Ale,'' &C., lay
scattered about on the foor of his retreat. VIVA he
was, where he came from, how long he remained in
~concealment, and where he has gone to, are questions
which must, it is feared, remain unanswered, just as
much so as-what was the mystery of Edwin
brood. 1t forms, however, a good opening scene for
a local romance, which might be made to read well
if published. -
ALARM OF FIRE--On Wednesday evening last, at
nearly ten O'Clock, the alarm was struck from the sta
ton house and bell tower, and it was soon ascertained
that the cause proceeded from the upper story of the
&c Empire . liquor saloon, formerly the old National.
As near as can be ascertained, a kerosene lamp,
hanging by a nail against the wall, fell to the floor,
and the fluid at once burst out into a blaze. 1t was,
however, speedily extinguished without any note
worthy damage. The Fire Department turned out
promptly, but its services were not needed.
Police CoURr-In the case of 8. II. Cooper
(Royal Hotel) under bail in the sum of two hundred
dollars to answer a charge of selling s~pirituous liquors
to a native, the bail was, by consent of the prosecu-
ton, pronounced forfeit and the case discharged.
There was another case of forfeiture of bail-a matter
of assault and faggelation-the defendant not putting
in an appearance, the fifty dollars goes into the treas
ury. On Wednesday, a Chinaman was found guilty
of stealing a watch, and sent over to the jail for one
year. -
~RAIN.-During the first part of this week there
have been during the night, and sometimes during
the day, brisk showers of rain in town, greatly re-
freshing vegetation. The windward side of the ISL
and, we are glad to hear. has been similarly visited.
