The Pail Road.

To say that good roads are the necessary
adjuncts of civilization and the promoters of
agricultural prosperity, is only to repeat what
everybody acknowledges. 1t would be difficult
to estimate the great and manifold advantages
that would follow to the planters and farmers of
the windward side of this island were a good
cart road made over the pail of Koolau. Lands
would at once become enhanced in value, when
the planters could bring their produce to market
on their teams, instead of shipping it by the
roundabout and unsafe little coasting craft, as at
present.
In the Appropriation Bill, approved July 22d,
1870, appears this item " For new road over
Nuuanu paIi, $50. OOO.'' What, if anything,
has been done towards carrying out this ex-
pressed wish of the Legislature? We are in
formed that a gentleman, now in this city, has
made a survey of the pail, and plans of a road
which he estimates can be built at a cost of
$50 600, the grade to be one foot in twelve.
And further, that he is prepared to enter into
bonds for the faithful performance of the work.
Why is it that tenders are not advertised for ?
This important public improvement, should not
be delayed. 3

The Boston Fair next Month.

The city of Boston in the, old Bay State, is
famed for its charities as well as its IS notions. -
In view of the condition of the French peasantry,
who are necessarily in an Impoverished and starry
ing state by reason of the ravages of war, the
good people of Boston are to hold a grand fair on
the tenth of next month, in their behalf. Great
efforts are being made to make the fair in every
respect attractive, 50 that a handsome amount
may be realized for this worthy charitable pur-
pose. By a circular addressed .s to the Hawaiian
publie,''a copy of which has been laid on our
table, we learn that Gen. S. c.. Armstrong, Gen
j. F. B. Marshall, and Mr.. F. o. Lyman, have
been invited to add their names to the list of the
General Committee of the Fair, and also to form
a Subcommittee for the purpose Of forming a
IS sandwich Island Table" Accordingly, the
above named gentlemen invite the co-opssation of
all residents of these Islands, and solicit contribu-
tions. They viii receive IS curious articles of all
kinds. Specimens of lava, coral, kappa, mats, and
all kinds of primitive apparel, household utensils,
ornaments and pictures of Hawaiian scenery are
desired. and viii bring high prices fancy articles
and ether usual contribution for Eairs will also
Be very acceptable. Contributors are requested

to send articles to c.. Brewer & Co., Honolulu,
who will forward them, and by whom transporta-
ton and other Legitimate expenses will be paid
Among its other "notions," Boston has a
Hawaiian Club, composed of former residents Of
these Islands, the principal object of which is
social reunion and the revival, over a good dinner,
of old associations. They are rightly supposed to
be retired merchants and others, who having
made their q pile " at the sandwich Islands, are
resting from their arduous labors in this torrid
and enjoying at the " Hub - the fruits
thereof. Without wishing to detract in the least
from the grand charity which is the object of the
proposed Fair, and which it is to be hoped will
prove a great success, we confess that beyond
giving them this notice, we do not feel any re-
markable amount of " inward moving to supply
n I" Hawaiian Table - for the special Qualification
and notoriety of the Hawaiian Club and the indi-
vidual members of the Boston - Sub Committee. -
Honolulu has already given of her poverty nearly
$4,000 for the relief of the French wounded,
widows and orphans of the war let Boston go
and do likewise in proportion to her wealth.

Cool, if not Impudent.

We have for some time noticed that certain
San Francisco papers are in the habit of appro-
priating whole articles from papers published
here relating to matters of general interest. with
out ~crediting the same, as is the custom among
all honorable newspaper men. We do not wish
to be understood as intimating that the San Fran
cisco editors are not honorable, and this has
hitherto amused more than annoyed us. We
admire cheek and impudence to a degree; we
like to see newspapers and individuals as auda-
eious as they well can be. 1t makes them popu-
lar. In the case of a newspaper, it adds to its
circulation and influence in the case of an in
dividual it makes a place for him in the front
ranks, where better and more modest and honor
able men give place to the more audacious. But,
these things may be carried too far. 1t is barely
possible, for instance, that in publishing a full
and carefully prepared account of a marine dis
aster those who prepare it feel that if any one is
to have the credit of the labor of making it up
and furnishing illustrations, they should have it
themselves. It is also possible that when such
persons see their labors appropriated without
proper credit, they look upon the appropriation
very much as they would upon a person who had
appropriated anything else which rightfully be-
longed to them.
Now this is precisely the case with various
articles published in San Francisco in relation to
the loss of the us. s. SaginaO. Articles from
both the papers published here have been appro-
priated without credit, and the editors and re-
porters of San Francisco have, apparently, sought
to take the credit to themselves of investigating
facts, when they have only used the scissors.
We think that our cotemporary will unite with
us in protesting against this kind of appropria-
tiop. ----.

WHALE FISHERY REVIEW FOR 1S7O.-The n. IL.
Republican Standard of January 18th, publishes a
lengthy review of the whale fishery for 1870. 1t
says that " the whaling business of the past year,
regarded from a financial point of view, has been
disastrous, but in regard to catchings has been fairly
successful The prices of our staples have continued
to decline during the year, reaching anremunerative
prices, while the vessels which returned home or for
warded their catch, were fitted at high cost. Quite
a large number of vessels which completed their
voyages during the year had secured good catches in
the early part of their voyages, much of which had
been sent home and sold at good prices, thus render
ing profitable returns to their owners, but the num-
Der of voyages. making successful and satisfactory
returns was much less than for many years. The
import of sperm oil was largely in excess Of the
previous year, and beyond the expectations of our
merchants.
The sperm whalers have met with q good degree
of success, while the right whaling feet in the Arctic
was unusually successful
The Arctic feet next season will number about
forty vessels. During the year there have sailed
from New Bedford for the North Pacific, two ships
and six banks.

time. Says the Daily Nescs Sydney of January
30th, in concluding a leading article on the in
stability of monarchies:
ssThere can be no doubt that some nations are
peculiarly fitted for monarchical Institutions. Our
own mother country, for example. enjoying now
those blessings of constitutional freedom which grew
out of the weaknesses and the crimes OF the Stuarts'
Aourishes and affords an example to the world under
such an establishment while attempts to aceiIma-
tie similar institutions amongst some other people
have signally failed. In this way Marshal Prim
justifes his installment of a King in Spain as having
no analogy to the case of Macmillan and Mexico, as
the latter was an attempt to revolutionize a republic.
Kings and similar pOtentates have certainly only a
precarious tenure at the present time and many
believe that the establishment of the great military
Empire of Germany will only facilitate and insure
the adoption of a republic. At all events, it is to be
hoped, amidst all these warnings and remembrance,
that we have heard the last of the notable project
started some time agO-that Of a king for Aus
fralia - E

MAKING HANGING BASKETS.

Many persons who admire beautiful
hanging basket, especially after the plants
have blossomed, are at loss how TO pro-
coed to get up such a beautiful orna-
ment.
The following list win make beautiful
basket, and one plant of each kind can
often be obtained of a florist for few
dimes: Zonale, Geranium, Lobelia, Col
ems, Alyssum, Tropnolum, Sedum, Pant
cum, and Linaria. Other florists substi-
tute for the foregoing numerous other
flowers, according TO their taste for va
riety and for varied contrasts in the color
of the flowers. If basket is large, one
may cultivate a larger number in each;
and when several baskets are suspended
in different parts of the yard, every one
NAV contain different sorts of flowers.
Nail kegs and butter rkins sawed into
two equal parts, or even barrels sawed in
two, may be used for hanging baskets.
Such reeeptacles, however, sh6uld always
be thoroughly smeared with coal-tar on
the inside, to protect the wood from
speedy decay. Let several holes be bored
in the bottom of all such tubs for the
purpose of ventilsting the soil, and 10
furnish an outlet for surplus water. Now
is the time to make preparations for hang
ing baskets. Let children be taught to
cultivate flowers.
