Editor Of HdtDoiidn Gazette: Tread with interest
your article of January 18th on the Ramie plant.
1t certainly promises well a crop which agricul-
turists, small and large at the Islands, may raise at
profit. We have, however, had so many disap-
pointments, that your word of caution well put
in. Yes, let be cautious and not over sanguine,
about silk and Ramie, and every other thing not
yet proven to be a success here. But let us
not be discouraged from trying, in prudent way,
any thing which holds out fair show of success.
Permit me to suggest that the Government might
well aid an experiment in Ramie culture by import
ing one or two of the $3.50 machines for dressing
the plant, to sell to the first producers of crop OF
say five acres, TO be paid for in Ramie fibre, at
agreed price, say twenty cents per pound. In the
event of a failure TO cultivate and make the fibre,
the machine to be returned in good order to the
Government. little help like this might be the
turning point of the experiment with some Indus
trious agricuturist who could not afford to import
a machine and risk success. l believe there is an
item appropriated for the encouragement of agri-
culture TO be applied at the discretion of the Min
lister of the Interior.
Yours, truly, NJ

AUSTRALASIA STEAM SERvIcE.-The Senate Com
mittee on Post Offices and Post Roads has met the
expectation of all who desire the commercial welfare
OF the country, by recommending the passage of bill
authorizing the Post master General to contract for
the establishment of mail steam SERVICE between San
Francisco New Zealand and Australia via the Sand
witch Islands. The subsidy named is $500 900, and
the parties with whom the contract would be made are
W. H. Webb. who owns three fine steamships that are
ready to be put the route and Holiday BRENNAN,
of the North Pacific Transportation Company, who
own the boats running between San Francisco and
Honolulu. If the bill becomes law the new line
would be in the receipt of total subsidy from the
United States and the English Colonies, of $500 900
year. This would probably cover any deficiencies of
business during the infancy of the enterprise and put
its permanent success beyond doubt.
If Ramsey's bill, reported from the same Committee,
providing for steam line from Puget Sound to Hon
olulu. should also become law, as we hope it may
the Holiday boats, we fancy, would be transferred
from the San Francisco and Honolulu route to the
one from Puget Sound, and the connection between
this city and Honolulu would be made by Webbs
steamers, stopping route to Australia. Such an
arrangement would to meet all the require
ments, and would afford the speedest enlargement of
our commercial facilities in an important direction
1t is to be hoped that Congress will promptly con-
slider the bills for increase of our Pacific commerce on
their merits, and not permit them to be complicated
with schemes of another character little or no
Under the contract with New Zealand, the first Amer
lean steamship for that Country should leave here
February 10TH and it ought to take the that the
United States have not been less sagaeious and liberal
than remote and thinlypOpulated British colony

HAWAIIAN THEArRE.-At this place Of amusement
Herr Bandmann and his talented wife still continue
to draw large and appreciative audiences In order
to give greater effect to the representations Mr. Der
by has engaged the services of Mr. NeiI gentleman
well known to the play-going community, and also
those of Mrs. and Miss Maggie Knight. On Saturday
evening last three acts of Romeo and Juliet and the
first and second acts of Richard ILL., were performed
and both were admirably rendered. Mrs. Band
mann's Juliet is the most finished impersonaeion of
that character which have witnessed here and Herr
Bandma nn's Romeo is deserving of the highest COM
mendaton. In Richard III both artists were
equally effective. 1t is worthy of remark
that, in order to give full effect to the acting,
all the accessories carefully attended to, which
gave an air of reality to the performance On last
Monday evening, scenes from Romeo and Juliet and
from Hamlet, and the delightful comedy of David
Garick, were performed. 0phelia in the fourth act
of Hamlet, as performed by Mrs. Bandmann with the
original music was PerfectOn-the simple madness of
the loving damsel portrayed to the lfe But the
piece de resistance of the evening the comedy Of
David Garrick. Herr Bandmann, as the great actor,
and Mrs. Bandmann as Lydia Jackson, the stage
struck heroine, were unsurpassed, while the minor
parts credibly sustained We notice by the pro-
gramme for this evening, repetition of the comedy
continuation of Narcisse, and the first act of the
Merchant of Venice,-a full and excellent programme
Judging from Herr Bandmann's performance in one
of the characters which he in the comedy we
doubt not that his impersonation of Shylock will be
success Lovers of the Thespian art should embrace
the opportunity of seeing such artists as Herr and
Mrs. Bandmann without failure.

Borrowing HORSES without the permission Of the
owners seems to be favorie pastime with some per-
sons. On Sunday evening, gentleman attending
church. left his horse hitched by, and coming
out at the conclusion of the services he found his
horse gone, and had to make his way home on foot.
Up to the time of writing the animal had not been re-
turned. Another gentleman, while at the Theatre on
Monday evening, was served in a similar manner.

That the robbery was well planned, was evidenced

went to work. The back door of the store is an
iron one, the hinges of which are imbedded in the
blocks of coral of which the store is built The bur
glars endeavored to remove these blocks from the
walls, and had nearly succeeded in doing so, when
the noise they made attracted the attention of Mr.
Waller, who resides next door. He got out of bed
and came outside to ascertain the cause of the I'M
usual noise, when the burglars took to their heels
