n%The continued rising Of the waters
OF the river, and the crevasses at Bonnet

RaInie Again.

We understand that the enterprising
firm of Hitchcock g. Bro, of Hilo, have
entered into the cultivation of this plant
with the intention, if possible, making its
culture profitable branch of agriculture.
The first plants procured by them were
from the Agricultural Gardens here, from
which they have raised sufficient seed to
plant fifteen acres of ground. The climate
and soil of Hilo seem to be well adapted
for the culture of the Ramie, and the gen
tlemen who have undertaken the expert
ment are confident of success. A machine
for separating the fibre from the woody
portion of the plant has been ordered from
New Orleans and is now on the way here.
This machine is the cheaper of the two
which were mentioned in the columns of
this paper some months since; it being
the one which turns out what is known In
trade as "crude ramie," the cost in New
Orleans being about $500, while the cost
of the more expensive machine, which
prepares the fibre for use, is stated to be
$4,000.
As we have before stated, the Ramie is
plant very easily cultivated, being hardy
and of rapid growth. Like all other
plants, to make the yield large and profit
able, it requires careful and thorough cul-
tivation. We have no doubt, if the en-
terprise of the gentlemen above referred
to proves successful, the production of this
valuable article viii become one of import
ance here. 1t is precisely the kind of pro-
duct which could be proftably raised by
small farmers, and even those who possess
but small lots of land. The people of a
neighborhood, by clubbing together, could
secure a machine for cleaning the fibre,
and thus enable each to put his acre, more
or less of fallow land to good use.

of discharging from the sailing vessels in
which the coal is imported and that of
putting it again on board the steamers is
performed mostly by native laborers and
the amount paid them for such labor every
month is considerable; it cannot fall
much short of $1,000 per month. Togeth-
er with the coal consumed by the Kilauea,
the Quantity taken from the wharves for
the supply Of the steamers does not fall
much short of fifteen hundred tons per
month, to supply which would require the
constant employment of at least three
ships of thousand tons burden to trans
port it from Australia.
A few years since, the coal used here
was limited to the requirements of the
Kilauea, the Foundry, and occasional war
vessels, and cargo Of few hundred tons
would supply the demand for long time.
AT present, a single cargo is hardly stored
on the wharf before 1t is required for i'm
mediate use. The approximate quantity
of coal required per month for the two
lines of Australian steamers are, for the
Webb line, 900 tons, for the Hall line,
500 tons.

Mexico.

Although the territory of Mexico is
nearer to us than any other portion of the
American continent, our knowledge of
the political affairs of that country is
somewhat limited; want of knowledge
which is undoubtedly caused by a want
of interest We hear of revolutions there
with the utmost Indifference, save an oc-
casional expressed regret that a country
so blessed by nature in capability for agri-
culture and in vast mineral wealth, should
be constantly kept on the mere verge of
civilization and progress by constant rev
olution and anarchy. Although it is said
that under the Government of Juarez,
Mexico has been less afflicted by internal
strife than usual, it has not been our for
tune during that time to read a paragraph
Of news from Mexico in which some insur-
rection or attempt at revolution in some
cityor state was not engaging the attention
of the government. Some of these insurrec-
tons have certainly been insignificant but
still they have shown the small share the
government has in the affections of the
people, as well as the limited amount of
patriotism possessed by those who immedi-
ately influence them.
At present the prospect Of quiet and
consequent advancement in that unhappy
country is more than usually gloomy.
The term of Juaraz' presidency is about
to expire, and another election is soon to
take place. There are several candidates
in the field, none of whom, probably,
with the slightest hope of success would
hesitate to use force to attain their object
The struggle, however, as it now APP
pears, viii be mainly between Juarez and
Leordo, who for long time was promi-
nent member of Juarez' Cabinet, having
his position at the instigation of
his friends to become a candidate for the
presidency. II is anticipated that there
will be no election by the people. but that
the choice will devolve upon the Congress,
and then the candidate who can bring the
strongest military force into the field to
support him, viii be president, irrespective
IF the views and wishes of Congress.
AT the latest reports an alarming insur-
'ection existed at Tampico, "a city on the
5ulf of Mexico, midway between Calves
on, Texas, and Vera CRUZ. Escobeda,
Who has hitherto been the "right-hand
nan of Juarez, had been despatched to
Iuell the disturbance, but it is anticipated
hat instead Of doing so, he will, after
aiming command of the Federal troops,
rganize a revolution in favor of Leordo.
1t is certainly a most melancholy thing

arth the sport of demagogues and plum
erers
