ANOTHER BEER SHOP FINED.-Last Saturday, one
Clinton Enos, a Portuguese, who has been a resident
of these Islands for some twenty years, n man of
family and a property holder, was arrested for the
offense of keeping for sale Intoxicating drinks
namely beer. Some specimens of his manufacture
were found on examination to contain fully nine per
cent. of alcohol. Deputy Marshal Dayton, on visit
ing his premises at " Waikiki, found two sixty-gallon
casks of the beer, and a lot of natives in various
stages of intoxication. The beer he capsized, and
8 all the sweet butter-milk watered the plain but
there was such a quantity that it ran into pools, and
the still thirsty customers bailed it up with tin pots,
and drank it from the ground. On Monday, Enos,
pleading guilty-he could not well do otherwise
was fined $500 in the Police Court. If not paid
there is the alternative of Imprisonment, but the
beer-seller in this instance has the funds and does
not go to prison, to work it out at 25 cents per diem.
That would involve a rather lengthy incarceration
say six years and a half!

IA correspondent who is evidently not an ad-
organ is conducted, sends us the following
thoughts. 1t will be seen that he concludes, (as
do most others,) that the " heavy articles p" of
that paper emanate from ministerial pens, while
the nominal editor has to bear the odium attach
ing to the authorship j
Mr.. EDITOR Il have just been trying the diver
sion of a few Gazeties and the rather exuberant zeal
of their present editor. L had scarcely thought him
capable of the e~xertion required to deliver such
heavy columns, but there they are,-the Puff-pre-
liminary, Platform, Programme, Prospectus and
Protocol, with the We and the He, all mixed up in
two or three watery stews, insipid to the taste and
dismal as cock-crowing of a damp morning.
1t makes ones heart ache to see him innocently
esteeming it an honor that his " humble efforts"
should be taken for the drossy discourses and dreary
cadences of a High Mightiness, even the g person -
whom " the editor of the Advertiser does not seem
DESTROYS to commend in any respect - and" who
might be thousands Of miles away And really
when we find our inflated young friend soaring in
similar cloudy attitudes and singing the same dull
song from those Opaque profundities ,-warbling the
same unctious self completeness, rambling rhetoric
and ponderous ~platitudes in the peculiarly maunder-
ing style of the great master hitherto deemed inimit-
able, 1 think we must concede that a little bit of His
uncomfortable Excellency's mantle has fallen across
the disciples quill hand, and that he must be allowed
the honor which he deprecates, victim though we
may pity him either to misapplied Hero worship or a
sorely ~distempered taste. However,-csn he but
now bring to the assistance of his undeniable, though
rather cumbrous and monitorisl genius for Govern

throws as it were q brassy halo around the head of
his illustrious idol. his success may be assured for q

A New WAY To REcRUIT.-A whaling skipper,
who is fond of canning, and often has q good yarn
to tell, gives us an account of his adventures in try
ing to obtain potatoes at Kawaihae. He "says
he went there. innocently hoping to find all he
should require ready in the storehouse, to ship of
when ordered. Instead Of this, however, the market
was bare, and vessels had been waiting for two or
three weeks, his turn to come after theirs. So he set
to work, planted his patch, and everybody knows
how things grow there on the beach at Kawaihae.
For twenty-three days he hoed and tended his vines.
and then gathered his crop, getting off several days
ahead of some other ships, who anchored IN the bay
before him. He warrants his crop the genuine
Irish article. -
u Her Majesty Queen Emma, and her suite,
visited the Q. 8 ship Jamestown, on Monday morning
last, and on her departure was saluted with twenty
one guns.
- On Thursday, His Excellency John o. Dominis,
Governor of Oahu, visited the same ship, accompanied
by his suite, and on his departure, received the
customary salute of seventeen guns.

FNoTEs ABOUT ISLANDS IN THE PACIFIC.-A rock ex-
lists near Kauls southwest of Niihau) which is not laid
down on all charts, and of whose existence some are
not aware. 1t lies in N. latitude 81 81, west
long 161 9 19, about forty miles W. S. W. of Kaula
Rock, ffty-fve from Niihau. and 100 from Honolulu
due west. 1t was Nenn by Capt. Stone of the brig
KamehamehG y, and also by Capt. Hickman of the
same vessel two years since. In shape it resembles a
sugar-loaf, and is about two hundred feet high, a
peak rising apparently out of deep water. Although
marked doubtful on some recent charts, there is no
doubt of its existence. Its name is Papapa Rock"
as SWALLOW ISLAND one of the Phoenix Group,
on which the Canton Packet was wrecked some years
ago, is not laid down on some recent charts. 1t is an
island (not a shoal) and lies in South latitude 20
48, and West longitude III > 40, and is also called
Canton Is. and Mary Islands. Distant from Eder-
bury Island about ~forty-ive miles N. w.
PHOENIX ISLAND, in the same group, is laid down
on the admiralty charts, in s. lat. 8 Q %, west long.
III Q. No island exists in that locality. The " Phe-
nix Island, . owned by the guano company, is. the
same as Birnie's Island on the admiralty charts, and
lies in South latitude 80 800, and west longitude
III . 80. This misnaming of the islands leads to
frequent mistakes with vessels visiting the island,
and should be corrected on all new charts.

THE PEOPLE ARE AwAKE-We find the following
rather stirring appeal to the representatives elect for
Honolulu, in the native Government Gazette:
"As the time is approaching for the meeting Of our
Legislative body, therefore the representatives for
Honolulu are hereby inquired of, as to what time
they will meet the people to discuss their troubles
and burdens, in order to bring them before the
Legislature,
"As provided by Section 4 Of the Constitution which reads
that tAll men shall have the right, in an orderly and peacea-
Bile manner, TO assemble, without arms, TO consult upon the
commong good, and TO petition the King or Legislative Assem-
bly, for redress of grievances
"Perhaps the members elect for Honolulu are fully prepared
to lift any burdens, without consulting with their constituents.
But should they be in any way deficient IN the grounds OF
complaints, it would be well to have an early meeting. as per-
haps the voters may have something worthy of being brought
before the Legislature. Perhaps the members elect, Messrs.
Kamakau, Kalama, Thompson and Boyd, have been very neg
lectful In this matter. Csigned) ONE OF THE PEOPLE"

The following opinions have been obtained

and being from the highest Medical Authorities

tertalned as the councils of experienced Physi-
claus
The Hon. DR.. BOwerbank's Opinion.
"There can be no doubt, that where a pre-
disposition to tubercu lar or scrofulous disease
exists, a residence here will often completely
check It's further developement, and even dur
Ing the earlier stages Of tubercuIar consumption,
If its progress is not arrested, life is often pro-
longod, and the disease Invested Of much of its
suffering.
The Island from its position, and from its
great irregularity of surface, presents a vast
variety Of climates so much so, that for mere
change Of climate, an Invalid need scarcely quit
its shores.
"The Island contains several Mineral Springs,
one of which is thermal, and has been found of
great service in the treatment Of Rheumatic,
GOuty, and CutaDeous affections. Another of
these Springs is, an Aluminou8 Chalybeate, is
situate IN the higher Mountains, in a most de-
ightful climate and were it better known and
more accommodation afforded, | have little
doubt that many suffering from impaired health,
the result of a long and continued residence in
the lowIands, might from its use, be restored to
health in lieu Of undertaking an expensive, and

DR.. Campbell's Opinion.

"I6e effects Of residence To Jamaica on Tu-
ropeans and Americans is usually beneficial,
especially on those who are predisposed to scro-
fula or pulmonary consumption, or who have
evinced a peculiar tendency to colds and chro-
nical affections during the winter months. In
such cases the general health and physical ener-
gies usually undergo a rapid and marked change,
resulting in permanent good health"

d.. Duan's OPINION,

Americans and Europeans will find a climate
here more congeniel to them, and one in which
they can carry on all the laborious e%xertions to
which they have been accustomed The Island
possesses all the advantages that man can desire
for every industrial purpose. The slight deri-
walton of temperature experienced during the
entire year, and the regular alienation of the
sea and land breezes, which modify it, render
the island a most desirable residence for invalids.

D1s1NrERMENT OF THE REMAINS o

D1sINrERMENT OF THE REMAINS OF
CONFEDERATE SoLDIERs.-The Peters
burge (Va.) lhder says: ain the
course Of time, and probably at no very
distuat date, the remains of many of
the gallant Confederate soleiers who
were killed, and lie buried in the viciui-
ty of Petersburg, will be disinterred
by surviving relatives and friends, and
take away for final interment in the 'old
family burial ground The dead of
ones family are always held sacred and
dear, and it is an inexpressible comfort
to have them buried where tehdcr and
loving hands can guard their graves
We wonder not, therefore, that every
now aid then we should hear of the
arrival of persons from one or the other
of our sister Southern States, who have
come to search among the cemeteries
around Petersburg, for the graves OF
those who were near and dear to them
in lifo, and who died, fighting as they
believe, in a righteous cause, that in
Justice to their memory and virtues they
may perform the sad duty of removing
home their remains"

nFL1ppITY FLoPPIrY.-A country
girl once went to the city to pay visit
to one of her old and best friends; this
friend was married to a rich city mer.
chant, and was leader of fashion. In
city etiquette, of course, the visitor was
verdant, and made numerous mistakes.
Her. friends wished to initiate her fully
into the "mysteries )" and as they we're
going to give large ball, gave her the
following instructions: "Eat only one
small cake and one saucer Of ice cream
and when your attendant presses you
to take more, answer that you have
'masticated suficieucy, and more
would be superfuity." Things went
on smoothly until her attendant asked
her to partake of more refreshments,
when to the horror of her friends aud
the amusement of the company, she
answered in loud voice: II have
evaporated insuficiently; aud more
60 would Aippity foppity."'

GOLD NoTEs.-There is now reason
to believe that bank notes redeemable
in gold will soon begin to form, fea.
ture in the currency. The first gold
note bank organized Under the recent
law was the Kidder National Bank of
Boston, which received on last Monday
the certificate authorizing 1t 70 COM
mence business. Another specie. paying
bank has been authorized at Mobile,
and the probability is that within ayear
such banks will be organized in every
port of the United States which has
any considerable foreign trade. The
money transactions of importers will be
done chiefly through these banks, and
the issue of their notes redeemable in
specie will have the effect ofan increase
! Of cash gold in the market, and event.
ually have an influence to reduce the
premium on gold. If these note we're
available for tho payment of duties, as
there is no reason why they should not
be, the influence they would exercise
in the direction of lower price fol
gold would be very important Severa
gold note banks are being organized il
the Pacific States, and in the States anc
Territories West ofthe Missouri, river
but there is no probability Of susf
banks being started soon in any ofthes'
interior States. Chicago Tribune.

men may want wives, the Massachusetts,
:spinsters may want husbands. 1t isn't
every woman that would have John for
husband, and it isn't every woman
that John would have for wife; but hu-
man nature is bnnau nature, even in
spite of antipodll diversities. If the
Johns "do well in Massachusetts, those
now there will stay, and Others will
come. The lsnger they remain the
more tolerable they will become, and it
does not require an excessive strain Of
the fancy to imagine time when their
oblique eyes; akeuuated .shius, pig.tailss,
| chopstieks, and heathenism will lose all
their responsiveness, and they themselves
grow to be altogether lovely In the
| spectacles of ths myopic Massachusetts,
Puritanesses. The very antipodes Of
the two parties will accelerate their ap-
Proclamation, and perhaps precipitate
the dreadful cahmit5. The missionary
and proselytizing spirit will break out
with renewed ;rdor in the bosoIns Of
the redundant, SEX, and they will yearn
to rescue the Johns from their benight-
ed spiritual condition. They will have
them at Sunday schools, at church, at
sewing societies, fairs, basaars, pic.nics
and SO forth. -. -,
John is a stubborn animal, tenacious
in his faith, in shis.habits, in his tradi-
tious, and in his views on things in
general; but he would be as superhuman
as the pictured goblins and monsters on
his own battle banners if he could stand
all this. He won't stand it; he is clay,
and yellow clay atthat; he will yield;
he will forget the Aowery kingdom, he
will forget Corfucius; he will cut of
his pig tail; he will drop his slippers
and put on North Adams boots; he will
lay aside his blue cotton, blouse, and
put on a bobtailed coat; be will wear
Eyeglasses; he will get married to. his
kind hearted Sunday school. teacher
and he will bring over 45,600 other
Johns, like himself; to restore the, sOciaI
eauipoise in Massachusetts. A few
years ago the immigration and multi
plication of Irish in Massachusetts, ao'
companied by the. migration and dimi
mutton of increase of the native popula.
ton, suggested uncomfortable prospec
tives of a not far distant day whe1
Boston would be cis-Atlantic Dublin
and the land Of the Pilgrims be repre-
seuted in. Congress by solid delegation
of Irish Democrats. But the Chines'
matter may interfere with this proba
bility after all. Boston may become

Plymouth Rook the site Of porcelain

Hibernian only by becoming Chinese
