The News.

Throughout the civilized world, the present
state of affairs in France, must cause unfeigned
regret. The fair fields about Paris are red with
internecine slaughter; the commercial. agricuI-
tural and industrial pursuits of the French peo-
pie are trodden under foot; rapine. pillage,
sacrilege and murder are of hourly occurrence !;
the guillotine threatens to erect its bloody front
the possession of wealth, culture and refinement
is deemed criminal the Christian Sabbath has
been virtually abolished, and in Paris, the god
dess of Reason has supplanted the Eternal God
and the Communists, in their reckless irresponsi-
BILE career, bid fair to reproduce the terrible
scenes enacted in the g reign of terror y of '93.
There has been treachery everywhere, and the
betrayers have been the politicians-Louis Blanc,
Ledru Rollin, Rochefort, and others of that
class They have always bitterly opposed any
government. France, under the Empire, was
powerful, happy and prosperous. They it was
who forced the Emperor into the disastrous war,
with the cry of down with Prussia and by
urging the people to a condition of extreme hos
tility against Germany. Upon entering the field
Napoleon found himself betrayed on all sides.
The Regular Army, which numbered 1906 90
men on paper, showed not more than half that
number on the field. Somebody had been re-
ceiving pay, food, clothing, etc., for 400, 900 men
not to be found when needed. Gunpowder had
suddenly been converted into an artfully prepared
counterfeit of the indispensable material shells
were discovered to be made of wood, covered
with iron paint, and filled with scraps of metal;
the supplies of arms had unaccountably failed;
food was furnished in insufficient quantity and Of
inferior quality clothing was scarcely to be had,
and the hospital attendance showed only one sur
geon to every thousand men. The Emperor was
Of course defeated, the Empire fell, and the
Republic rose upon its ruins, with Gambetta at
It's head. Him these same politicians have OPP
posed, thwarted, betrayed and finally dislodged.
The government at Versailles is recognized as the
of France. The Communists are
raitOrs to the recognized government. They
succeeded in inaugurating a sanguinary
ivil war, and their habit of treason eliminates
n becoming traitors even to their own organiza-
ion in Paris. If they could be induced to de-
troy each other, it would indeed be fortunate,
nd if the Versailles government is strong and
run in doing its duty to France, it will not hest
ate to hang every one of these p~estilent traitors
D their country. But one opinion can be ar :
wed at in viewing the sad picture which is pre- T

The Currency.

A correspondent, whose communication is en-
tirely too long for our columns, takes a more
serious view of the question of . small change
in ordinary business transactions in this commu-
nifty, than that set forth by our humorous CORES
pondent who wrote the i" Chapter on Royalty"
There is no doubt but that our system of making
change, owing to the fact that we have no cur
rency of our own, is a system OF petty swindling.
True, the loss falls alternately on the buyer and
the seller, but the balance is in favor of the latter.
Some time ago, a rule was made in the Treasury,
whereby All -i-lo aHu spanish quarters which
were received in paymentOf Governmentdues were
retained, with a view to getting them out of cir
~culation. For some reason which is not apparent,
this wholesome rule has been abrogated, and the
old rails and quarters, which for a time had
measurably disappeared and been succeeded by
the dime and half-dine, are now again quite
plentiful. Times are duh, many people are very
poor, and have to make a little money go a great
way. To such it is a matter of some consequence
when they get only a dime or a rial back when a
quarter is rendered to pay for a dimes worth.
And many articles of every day consumption are
sold at too high rates because there is no really
honest small change. Could the rial and old
quarter be entirely banished from our circulation,
and a plenty of halfdimes, and three cent pieces
be had, things would soon come to a just level,
and both convenience and economy be accom-
plished.

H11o Boarding school.

The annual examination Of the Hilo Boarding
School for boys, took place on the 4th and 9Th inst.
The examining Committee have kindly furnished us
with 6 copy of their report, as follows:
This school has been in operation for thirty-fve
years. It has been attended by about eight hundred
pupils, the young sons of Hawaii. Its present num-
bes Of scholars is sixty-eight- From its first organ
ration until the present time, it has been under the
care Of its present principal, Rev. d. B. Lyman. 1t
is = manual labor school, and in this way, it is to
some extent, self-supporting.
We consider it to have been conducted wisely, and
with great economy, energy and patience, and its
venerable principal, with his excellent wife, deserve
much respect for their fidelity and success in the
cause d Hawaiian education
The Examination on the 4th and 9Th of May, was
creditAble both to teachers and pupils. The exer-
eises were reading, writing, punctuation, mental and
written arithmetic, algebra, elements of geometry,
Bible histOry, natural theology, moral philosophy,
the Fl zish language, native and English compost
tons, e %cution, vocal music, and practice on flutes.
The asses in music, under the charge Of Mr..
Joseph HOOluhi, acquitted themselves well, as did
also. tha several classes in Hawaiian literature, under
the insruction of Miss E W. Lyons, Messrs. Napuu-
sko AM Makaimoku. The English classes did as
well a. could have been expected in view Of the
limited tIme and facilities devoted to this study.
The heAlth Of the school is good, and this may be
attribut In . good degree to the regular habits,
the cleanliness, the good ventilation, and especially
70 the Out-ofdOor labors, and recreations of the
pupils 1t was remarked by the principal, that the
moral condition of the school was never better than
at present. In most respects, its present state is
comparatively satisfactory, and its prospects cheering.

scented in French affairs, and that is that the
nation is yet incapable of establishing a perma-
nent republic. Neither the Bourbon nor Or
leanist dynasties have any show to succeed to the
government, and the restoration of the Empire
now seems to be acknowledged, by calm and dis
interested observers throughout Europe. to be
the coming event. By granting to the large
cities the right to elect their own municipal
officers, and re-establishing the Empire, with
Engenie as Regent, order may he restored out Of
chaos, and the French nation may yet recognize
that "L'Empire. c'est la paix." 30 much for
the situation in France.
From England and the United States comes
the agreeable announcement that the unpleasant
shadow of the Alabama claims, that has SO long
darkened the relations between the two great
English speaking nations of the world. is now
undoubtedly to be removed, and they are to be
on better and more friendly terms with each
other than ever before. The Joint High Com
missioners have concluded their labors, and re-
ferred to their respective governments for ap-
prevail the basis of a final settlement Of all
matters in dispute,-the Alabama claims the
right of Americans to fish on Canadian grounds
by paying for the same the free navigation of
the st. Lawrence River the recognition of just
claims of British subjects for losses during the
late civil war; aud last, anG least in actual i'm
portance, the settlement of the San Juan boun-
dairy. 1t is almost certain that the report will
be agreed to by the American Senate and the
British Parliament, and hat henceforth the only
rivalry between the two nations will be the no.

most help to forward the progress of civilization
and liberty throughout the world.

Lectures and Lecturers.

1t is not true, that the public of Honolulu are
an uncultiyated set that they have as a mass, no
literary taste or talent themselves, and therefore,
are unable to appreciate its exhibition in others {;
nor yet that they are go opinionated as to their
own knowledge that they will not deign to listen
or learn when opportunity offers. The reverse of
all this is true, as we who claim to know the
public of Honolulu passing well, beg to assure
inquiring strangers among us, who, forming their
judgment from appearances, bring the above
enumerated charges against us. In proportion
to population and wealth, We have a fair amount
of general education and learning, literary taste
and ability, and liberal, ~open-minded apprecia-
ton of these qualities in others. In no other
community is Ii new candidate for public favor
more courteously received or more fairly criti-
cised, when possessing even moderate claims to
excellence. Why then, it is asked, finally and
triumphantly,- your public is all this that you
assert, are the readings and lectures of the Y. NJ.
q. A. generally so SHINY attended? We are
reduced to but one answer-general Incidence.
Whatever may be said to the contrary, we hold
that experience has proved the Anglo-Saxon to
have sensibly deteriorated in one important char
acteristic, that of active energy, by being trans
planted to a tropical cline.
The lecture on Thursday evening, by the Hon.
Alfred 5. Hartwell, drew forth an unusually
large audience, for this city, although the capa-
cious Hall could have held many more. The
lecturer and the subject Public Sentiment -
for once brought together a large assemblage of
our citizens, together with a fair sprinkling of
ladies. The lecture itself was all that was antlc-
ipated, and showed much research in the appli-
cation of the facts of history pertinent to the
illustration of the subject in hand. 1t was
listened to with marked attention and apprecia-
ton, and the only fault found was that it was too
short, while the general desire was expressed that
1t may hereafter appear in print. In presenting
subject of such suggestiVeness, the numerous
points Of view that are constantly arising can
only be lightly touched upon IN a single lecture,
and this the lecturerdid in a style Of rapid epito-
MIXING that fixed the attention of his hearers.
We cannot undertake to give anything like a
report of the lecture. The principal point that
impressed however, was that in a sound
public sentiment alone consists the safety of a
and the lecture concluded with Impress
yely declaring the need of the cultivation Of such
sentiment in this community.
