SUICIDE on MAuI-A letter from Wailuku states
that a h~alf-easte named Davies. at Haiku planta-
ton. committed suicide by opium, and died on

THE NAVIGATOR IsLAxDs.-In the Washington
news of March lltb. we read that Representative
of California will endeavor TO procure
the adoption of a resolution calling on Congress
for the correspondence concering the proposed
United States protectorate having been requested
SAFETY lawsuits is a new article, recently
introduced here, for the burning of Kerosene.
Those who have tried them say that they are all
they are represented to be. clean. brilliant, odor-
less, and absolutely safe. May be seen at Baitow 5 :

The GovERNoRsHIP OF KAUAI.-Rumor has it that
the venerable Paul KanOa, who has for so many
wears held the office of Governor of the Island of
Kauai, is to resign, and that the Office will be filled
bv a foreigner, who it is guessed will be Mr.. W.
II. Rice, member Of the Legislature elect from koloa.
>MoRE CRUELTY TO ANIMAIs-On the plains east
of this city may be seen two horses each with one
broken leg. apparently Injured long since, on the
stumps of which they 60 hObbllng about. In al
most any other country besides this, they would be
put out of misery. Bat what is every body's
business is nobody's."
New BARBER SHoP.-We notice that our friend
Howard has taken the premises lately occupied by
VIM. Humphreys, on Merchant street. and opened a
saloon, where he intends to practically illustrate the
principles of the art tonsorial in all its branches.
The saloon is conveniently located, and we recon-
mend Mr.. Howard to the hirsute public.
RAIN sroRM-At about ten O'Clock last night. a
yeritable rain storm commenced over this city, ac-
companied with thunder and lightning such as Is
seldom experienced here. Our rain guage is out
nf order. bat our devil declares that the fall was
several feet where he stays. The storm doubtless
extends all over the windward sides Of the group.
{ New FIRM-Mr. Samuel G. Wilder, the principal
of the new firm of Wilder s. Co., dealers in building
materials, received the calls aud congratulations Of
his numerous friends and acquaintances at lunch
Monday forenoon. Mr.. Wilder is also agent for
the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company, and
for various inter-island packets, besides the steamer
II thhtN' w 'N~A
which we are confident it will deserve.
THE STREETs.-A correspondent complains pretty
sharply of the condition of some parts of BeretanIa
Street, especially between Nuuanu Street and Smiths
Bridge, as it is called, and wants to know why the
Road Supervisor does not attend to 1t. We our
selves can bear testimony to the dlscomtorts OF walk
ing at night on the street mentioned, owing to the
many holes and ridges TO be met with. A few loads
of broken stone, overlnid with dirt and then tho
roughly wetted a few times would be desirable.
Coop WoRK-Some of the plantations in the HilO
district are turning out large yields Of sugar from
the cane they are now grinding. At Kaiwiki, as we
are informed, u portion of the tue fell III on Satur-
day the 23d ult , when some volunteers went to work
after II o'clock on Sunday night, and by Tuesday
morning had everything in working order again.
On that day, 46 900 gallons Of juice were boiled,
one gallon producing II pounds OF first, second, and
third sugars. Mr.. L. II. Hitchcock is the energetic
manager at kaiwikl.
Coon SHooTIxG.-Our friend Rawson /" took a
turn around" last Monday among the ducks, and
returned at evening with some thirty-two, besides
plover and other game. The plOver season is about
over, as this Is the month In which they take their
departure for the northwest coast of America. They
well repay the trouble of shooting, being very fat
and so are the ducks, as we know from personal ex-
perience. Rawson knows just where TO look Tor
them, and his double-barreled breech-loader pretty
much always brings down whatever 1t Is pointed at.
THE THEATRE.-The performance last Monday
evening at the Theatre by Madame Duret and Mr..
LIE Roy, assisted by Frank Medina, was a very pleas
ing one. "a Domestic Conjugal Lesson " was well
played, conveying a trite moral that was well put by
MIR. lie Roy. The veXed question, (" which shall l
marry? was satisfactorily settled, and the audience
heartily enjoyed the many funny hits of the even
ing. Tonight an elegant drawing-room entertain
ment is promised, under the patronage OF the officers
of the men-of-war now here. We advise our readers
to go if they would enjoy q pleasant evenings enter
tainment. |
Coop TEMPLARs' BALL.-The bali on Tuesday
night last, given at Butfum's Hall by Honolulu
Lodge, No. 5, l. o. G. T., was really a brilliant
affair. Some two hundred couples enjoyed the dance
and social intercourse until past midnight. Dancing
in the tropics to be comfortable should be carried on
in Well-ventilated rooms, otherwise 1t becomes a Ia
borious kind of pleasure. Buffum's Hall would be
better suited to the purpose were the ceiling removed
from overhead. We noticed as an annoyance
| that during brisk dancing the dust could be seen in
clouds, and felt and tasted, as the frequent coughing
among the guests gave proof. Aside from this
drawback, the affair was a decided success, and passed
off very pleasantly. |
THE RAISING AND THE HOUSING ."-On Sat-
urday afternoon last, the new flagstaff of No. =
Engine Company was placed in position promptly Al
half-past four O'Clock, as per notice. The engineers
ing Of the Job was by Mr.. John Tibbets, of Tibbets
s. Sorenson, and the immense spar, l4G feet IN
length, was raised on end and placed in position
within ten minutes from manning the tackles, Win
all the precision ana smoothhtss WIN H0n III
might have placed a walking stick on end: After
which the : Hooks housed their beautiful new
truck, Just received from the makers, Hunnewell &
Co. The Government band was on the ground, and
discoursed appropriate music, and the occasion was
wound up with a collation. Jointly given by No Is
and the Hooks, in the rooms OF the latter.
FROM HILo.-Letters to the 9th, say that the
climate has returned to its normal condition Of mois-
ture, and the Hilo people speak with JUNCTION OF
- the blessed rain The streams were running
and consequently so were the mills, and turning out
a nlentv of sugar. An item Of news comes from
ITIo. that had however been whispered here, some
week or so ago. 1t Is to the effect that Her Excel.
lency the Governess of Hawaii has resigned, tha'
Nh. Rufus A. Lyman, who has acted as L!eutenan,
Governor for several years past, has been appointed
in her place, and that he is to be made n Noble. L
