Now the good folks this city, for long observed

The Great Hereafter.

'Tis sweet 10 think. when struggling
The goal Of life to win,
That Just beyond the shore Of time
The better years begin.
When through the nameless ages
east my longing eyes,
Before me, like a boundless sea,
The great hereafter lies.
Among its brimming bosom
Perpetual summer smiles,
And gathers like a golden robo
Around the emerald isles.
There in the blue long distance,
BY lulling breezes famed,
] seem to see the Towering groves
or fair old Beulah's land.
And far beyond the islands
That gem Of waves serene,
The image of cloudless shore
OF holy heaven is seen.
Unto the great hereafter
Aioreiime dim and dark
freely now and gladly give
or life the wandering bark.
And iu the far-of heaven,
When shadowy seas are passed,
BY angel hands its quivering sails
Shall all DC furled at last.

We hardly like to be called drinking community,
but the fact stares in the face, that during the
year past there has been Withdrawn from the Bonded
Stores for consumption aone-not for export-nO
less than 19.948 gallons of spirits. the duties
which have amounted to S57 ,84693. The table be-
low presents some little food--we might say drink
for speculation For example, notice the con-
sumption of during the first three months
amounted to gallons. Then the figures swell up to
500 gallons, at the close of the year. Gin seems to
have been in steady favor, coming out well ahead.
Brandy started in well, but have been a
little shaky the second quarter, but whip and
spur brought him up second to Schedam at the goal;
and whiskey, uncertain nectar, saving his wind at
the first, made terrible effort in the last quartz.
but he had lost too much ground at the start, aud
brought up far behind Hennesey & Martell. We
might find some relief in the fact that the larger
sumption was in the late months, and excuse our
selves on the plea of excessive hospitality to the
strangers that were within our gates during the busy
season.
And this view OF the case will undoubtedly be
found the correct one. They who would upon the
showing of these figures argue that community
had suddenly begun to indulge to an unusual ex-
tent in spirits, would be greatly mistaken, and
consequently the subject deserves here more than
a passing notice. By reference to the table of
Whaling vessels at ports of the Hawaiian ISL
ands, /" it will be seen that we have had during the
year sixty-seven ships to call. Allowing thirty
men each, fair average for a whaling vessel.
those ships will represent 2,O10 visitors The six
teen national vessels at Honolulu during the year
had certainly not less than FIVE thousand persons
on board. The California and Australia steamers
have also added greatly to our transient popula-
ton during the past year. Taking all these
strangers within our gates" together with our
permanent population, it will foot up not far from
IL, ,O00 persons to consume the 1898 gallons Of
spirits that taken out of bond in lS70,-at the
rate of about one and two-third gallons per head.
But it must be recollected that Honolulu supplies
all the other islands with spirits, which, as is well
known. is no small item, but the figures represent
ing which it would be difficult to obtain. So far
then from concluding that Honolulu is getting into
the habit of indnlging more than usual in the So
called luxury of spirits, the contrary is well
known to be the case, in respect to our permanent
population. Those familiar with the retail spirit
business are we'll aware of this fact. The cost of
the necessaries of life in this city is bgh that
the number who find margin to spend upon
these luxuries is but small. aitf ati5i = 2"

Free Imports 1870.

The value of free imports, aside from the item Of

over the amount reported for 1862 The notable
items of increase are Books printed in Hawaiian.
Coal, Hawaiian Government and Plate and Pig Iron.
The first item exclusive Of any importations by the
Government, under which heading the imports BY
the Board of Education Of Books and Stationery for
school purposes, forms liberal item.
Coal, since the Inauguration of steamship eommu-
nication, has become quite an item Of import, the
value for 1870 being ,081 So. against s10070 81
for 1869. Most of our receipts are from Australia
We have never been able to comprehend why Plate
Iron for boiler manufacture Il admitted fee while
the rivets which necessary the Plate itself
to complete the manufacture ase liable to duty. Nor
why Sheathing Metal Composition, for coppering
vessels is allowed to enter Free while duty is charged
on the Nails, which required to fasten it on
particularly when these peculiarly made nails can
hardly be used for any other purpose

From the above IL would appear that lis
whaling vessels had visited the group during the
year. but IL must be borne In mind that n number
of the vessels visited two more ports during tho
season as for instance, in the spring many OF the
