The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1856-1888, 1871-12-02

WI are glad to see that our supplement OF last
week had the effect that it was designed to have,
viz, to call public attention in a fOrclble manner
to the need that exists for some energetic fore
arming of ourselves against a possible calamity
such as gas portrayed in the Great Fire in
Honolulu"
1t seems to us, that in eneumeratIng the ad-
yantages arising from the establishment of a city
Government for Honolulu, the control OF certain
nuisanccs, and abating of some evils now existing,
might be made feasible. We know that efforts
have been, and are being made to take proper
care of property, but what We most need is a
council, that, meeting every month say, can take
immediate notice of complaints, and frame laws
and orders to correct abuses. The total abolish
ing of the building of grass buts within certain
limits should be insisted upon. and some provision
made for the removal of those now standing III
our midst.
The Board of Health have done what they
could, we presume, to mitigate evils already e4
listing and to provide for possible contingencies III
a sanitary point of view. At the same tlme'
there are many little things of which properly
owners have cause to complain that would come
within the province of a city council, but winch
do not properly DeiOnS W "O"
uartment. The officers to whom complaints are
now made, have their own peculiar duties to per-
form, and we can hardly ask them to take cog
nizance of the little annoyances of every day ihe'
Our newspapers are open to correspondents on
these as well as other subjects but the TACT Is
that notes addressed to the public through Mr.
Editor, though they may call public attention to
the existence of an evil, at the same time AFFORD
room for the shifting of responsibility IN the
to the public at large; and we kno" that
what is everybody's business is nobody's.
But those matters that require Immediate ac-
ton ought not to be neglected until a possible
,ity government can be formed. We think that
It is the duty of every good citizen to do all that
ne can to make our city more safe from fire. 10
his end. free access should be had to all points
exposed to accidental fires, rubbish should be
LEANED out, and useless articles removed. Then,
when called upon, our Fire Department can give
I'LL scope to their powers and show that their
to thorough organization and efficiency are
S we believe them to be, well founded.

Wall, which snagged last week in the
Mississippi River It seems that when
she reached Memphis she was laden
beyond her capacity, but the officers
controlling her consented to the addi-
ton OF sixty deck passengers, with their
freight and baggage. As consequence.
the boat was managed with the greatest
difficulty, and several es she mar
rowly escaped disaster b. ore she ran
upon the snag which sunk her
So heavily was she laden and so con-
scious were her officers of her danger
that whenever another boat appeared
the Wall remained motionless so that
the return waves might not jar the YES
sci too much. At about 8 P. NJ. the
vessel ran on snag and in few min
utes thereafter sunk, drowning at least
100 people and seriously injuring a

GuizOt as a Sportsman.

From Lippincott's agazine.
In the autumn of 1929 (eheu! Post
hume, how fugacious are the years ,
there was numerous assemblage be-
meath the hospitable roof of General La
Fayette, at La Grange, of French, Eng
nsh and Americans. Among the last
was this deponent, and among the first
was the then Professor Guizot, a grave
but not ungenial gentleman, who seem
ed to have got about midway upon the
journey of our life. One morning the
chateau was In great commotion. There
was to be gra1ade chase. Guns and
dogs and huntsmen and sportsmen mus
tered in such slaughterous style that
terrible would have been the trepida-
ton of the intended victims could they
have guessed what was going on. Gar
rulus Gauls do certainly know how to
make fuss, and are always delighted
with much ado, even about nothing.
remember feeling quite confident, from
the stir, that we shonld perpetrate an
amount of murder which would almost
fill our minds-that beasts and birds
would at least be beautifully bagged,
if not, perhaps, destroyed to wasteful
excess. Fair laughed the morn, and we
began the march in magnifcently
bithe array. Chance put me by the
side of NJ Guizot and his son, a boy
only few years my junior. We blazed
about all day, and truth compels the
statement that rabbit and a couple of
CABLES were all our evening prey. My
popping was bad, that of the professor
wasn't better, and that of the Youngest
wasn't the best. Fortunately, however,
none of the other parties had much
more to brag of, so that came to the
conclusion that chase NIL ht be grand
without being great. How much more
attentive should [ have been to the
words that dropped from my compan-
ions lips than to the birds that hoped
to see drop before my gun, could I have
foreseen what future interest and value
they would possess! He was quite as
my bioodthirsty feelings at the time
could have wished but even if he did
say anything worth remembering, it
certainly made no impression between
the conflicting sensations of aiming and
missing. Nevertheless, it is a satisfac-
ton now to look back and see the illus
tr1ous man in his shooting jacket, with
moro anxiety upon his philooop hie fnoo
IN regard to the result of his shot than
perhaps he ever exhibited as to the con-
sequences of an oratorial discharge-to
behold him with mental optic as che
cooked his eye and gum" to quote the

Here y'are, - Black your boots, boss?

Wen, yes-can it a coat, sir,
Though faint much more'n tear;
Can't get myself another
Amt got the stamps to spare.
Make as much as most on EN-

They've only got one to do for;
There's two on us, Jack and me.

With doubled-up sorter back,
Sittin there on the gratin'
Sunnin' hisself-that's Jack.
Used to be round sellin' papers,
The cars there was his lay,
But he got showed off the platform
Under the wheels one day;
Yes, the conductor did it
Gave him regular throw
He didn't care if he killed him,
Some ON 'em is jest SO.
He's never been all right since, sir,
Sorte1 quiet and queer
Him and me go together.
He's what they call cashier
High old style for boot-black-
Made all the fellers laugh
Jack and me had to take it,
But we don't mind no chat.
Trouble guess not much, sir.
Sometimes when bis gets slack,
1 don't know how I'd stand it
If 'twasn't for little Jack.
Why, boss, you ought to hear him,
He says we needn't care
How rough luck is down here, sir,
If some day we git up there.
All done now-how's that, SIT?
Shine like pair of lamps.
Mornin' give it to Jack, sir,
He looks after the stamps.
