The coolie Instruction had been greatly exaggera-
ted by the newspapers. The telegraph wires had
been cut, and the news arriving from the place OF in
surrection was only true in part. The trouble COM
menced on five or six plantations lyIng together. A
village had been attacked, but defended itself, and the
insurgents fed TO the mountains, where a part OF
them still remain, and a part of them have returned
to their labor. According to last news, no further
apprehensions of danger were felt.
PRINTED ADDRESSED ESvELoPEs.-Annexed is a
practical suggestion. which might facilitate the Oper-
atoms of the Post-ofice, and also prevent delays and
mistakes in correspondence =
"In these days of correspondence it would be a
great boon to the postman and a great advantage to
the public if every one had envelopes with his name
and address printed thereon, so that when writing a
letter requiring an answer he should enclose one of
his own printed addressed envelopes. This printed
addressed envelope would then form a good reminder
to his correspondent, would save his correspondent
time and trouble, and would prevent mistakes in ad-
dresses, which mistakes sometimes cause great
trouble, annoyance, and delay. Ii would also expe-
dite the postman in sorting and delivering. A great
many trading firms have envelopes printed with the
ad1ress of their principal correspondents, though
they have no envelopes printed with their own adj
dresses. This suggestion. if carried out, would be q
great convenience in many ways to all parties"
The HAWAIIAN YoUTH,-On Sunday morning last,
riding along the causeway leading to Palama, we
met some fifty native boys coming into town to attend
church. 1t was not the first time we have seen them
on the Sabbath ; but on this occasion we were par
ticularly impressed with the neatness of their appear
ance and their cheerful happy faces, as they walked
along in regular order. We knew them to be lads
from the Government Reformatory School, and could
not but reflect, what a blessing such an institution
was to the idle, erring, vagrant youth about Homo
lulu, and often parentless as they are. Some of the
9 ms - derive a malicious pleasure in averring that
every journal outside of their own can say nothing
good of the Government. They may think that that
is a proof of their loyalty, but there are subjects who
do not believe in foolishly vihfying the Government
any more than they do, and whose optics, not being
beclouded by place and preferment, can just as well
discern good from evil, without diminution of loyalty,
and at the same time give candid expression to their
views on public matters and public men. A little
further on we passed the much esteemed Reverend
gentleman and his wife, who so well superintend the
institution. We bestow upon them q silent tribute of
respect, that after q life spent as missionaries among
the Hawaiian people, they were spending life's close

might grow up to vice, an incubus on society.
The CoNCERTs-When we say the concerts, OF
course, as everybody knows. we mean the Caran-
dini's. After the very copious elaborate notices of
our contemporary this weeR, we can hardly see
that there is anything left for us to say, unless it be
something better than he has said. He seems TO
write under the effect of inspiration-which one of
the nine muses. has so inspired him it is difficult to
say. Ii is evident that a dart from the mischievous
boys culver must have entered his heart : but as
an omission TO notice these ecstatic entertainments
might be considered unpardonable, we will say our
little say in the face of so much literary effort, aud
we will pay the Carandini Troupe a com! .ment,

they have taken us by storm. Now we take
the ground that the advent of these songsters Is a
benefit to our community outside of their musical
talents. because they have furnished us with a
most agreeable place of rational amusement, and
put us in good humor with ourselves, and, as g
natural consequence, in good humor with every
body else. This is philanthropy of the first water,
and we sincerely hope that it has and will meet
with its reward. We certainly much prefer such
entertainments TO going and seeing a man stand on
the top of his head. or to see him jumping from one
rope to another, at the iminent risk OF breaking his
neck. But there is no accounting for taste. But i'm

We almost look forward with dread,

THE OPENING OF THE BALI.-The season not as it

masters and runners, the attentive attitude Of shop
keepers at the doors of their establishments for
to purchase in-fts and buy outfits with

says there is luck in odd numbers, but from what
the crowd said, we didn't see where the luck came
in. They were yet costumed q la mer, not having

toggery, which is to make them shine in the eyes of
the bashful, dusky maidens of our sunny cline.
