In our issue of Thursday we stated,-what was
supposed to be the case, and was apparent on the
face on things,-that the Board of Health had no
legal existence, inasmuch as the law requires that
it shall consist Of three members, whereas there
are but two known to the public, Messrs. Rhodes
and Kamakau. We have since been informed by
the Minister of the Interior that he has held i
commission as member of the Board for some
years. This being the case, the Board is legally
constituted. But it may be asked. why was not
the fact officially made known? The public have
an undoubtei right to know who are the legally
constituted authorities, and the publication of all
such matters in the Government Gazette is an
easy enough matter.

There is no legally constituted Board of Health
in the country, as required by the provisions of
the Civil Code, inasmueh as there must be three
persons to constitute such Board, (aside from the
Minister of the Interior, who tacitly acts as
Presidency while in fact for a year past there has
been only two. We are well aware of the in
dustry and ability of the Minister in this regard,
but that does not affect the fact that the Board
of Health, as provided for by law, does not exist,
and a case might arise in which the acts Of those
now acting as such Board would be questionable
before a court of law.
we have before us 4 pamphlet entitled Re
port of the Board of Health to the Legislative
Assembly of 1872" which is 81 signed for the
Board - by DR.. Hutchison, the Minister of the
Interior. This. while it is an ably written and
valuable as well as interesting document, is also
an extremely sad one to read, for 1t proves the
continued fearful decrease of the native race.

Tur SuII-Pox-The case OF this disease which
Is now on the reef, is pronounced by the physicians
to be one Of the most yirulent sort. All doubts
that existed In some minds as to its character have
been dissiDated. Meantime some one has been
thoughtful enough to inquire as to the prospects oil

gentleman. DR.. Hoffman,, it will be remembered,
bad great experience Of the disease IN the year
1858. when Il was raging in the city. He was the
first TO pronounce a case Of smallpox here in that
wear. and now again bis opinion Is verified by
other experienced physicians that the present Is a
genuine, very severe case. As we remarked IN
our last, there appears at present to be no ground
for tear that the disease will spread extensively,
or even that there will be many fresh cases, as the
great majority Of the people have been vaecinated-
But In regard to precautions taken by the author
titles. IL Is remarked that there seems to have been
some Inconsistency Of action. While the schooner
Jaaaifa aud her whole crew are placed in strict
quarantine, the live sheep, which formed part 81

day, and are probably all slaughtered and eaten
before now. Wool, we know. Is q capital thing to

the case when she was on the JaIunitd!

that another suspicious case has been discovered

adopted of removing him to the reef and keeping
him entirely isolated. One circumstance however

faef that this Is the same native who drove Fletcher

Der, becoming diseased such being the nature Of
the disease, it is a terrible sight to see sometimes, on
entering 3 native house, a leper, some relative or
friend Of the family, sitting among little chilren,
and perhaps eating with them out Of the same Gala
bash, with sores on the fingers and poisonous breath.
The lives Of half q dozen persons are endangered by
the aloha to one person who should already be consi-
dered lost 1t Is q poor way Of showing love 70 other
members Of the family by assisting to keep such q
person In the family. Still. 1t is done IN many cases,
and every obstacle is thrown in the way of the au-
thorities when endesvoring TO secure the isolation OF
the diseased man or woman.
We repeat again here that these people are well
taken care OF, and by no means unhappy.
Let US think for 3 moment and imagine what 9
state we should be in, If all these lepers, instead OF
living together at Kalaapapa, were running free and
scattered around the islands, in the towns and vil-
lagos, settlements and families. We could not go
anywhere without meeting n lep T there would be
hardly = valley on the islands without having lepers
among its population. The consequence must ulti-
mately be the ruin of the Hawaiian race, and the
foreigner would soon be included in the catastrophe.
But that would not be all, strangers not used 70 such
sights would receive evil impressions the opinions
gard 70 us 10 what they now are. The islands would
be Stunned on all occasions, and no vessel or stran-
ger would enter our ports unless forced by sheer ne
cessity, and would make their escape from the plague
stricken spot as quickly as possible. The conclusion
to be drawn from this Is that although ;he cost con-
neeted with the establishment Is large, yet it is a
matter Of absolute necessity that il be continued,
and the money so spent may well be looked upon as
an encouragement TO the trade, agriculture and en-
terprise Of the islands.
In Europe the lepers are collected in large stone
asyiums, IN fact prisons, many stories high, and sur
rounded by high stone walls. The ~strictest seclusiou
is enforced between the inhabitants of these asylums
and other people, and we do not hesitate 10 say that
the settlement of Kalaupapa viii compare favorsbly
with any institution Of the kind in the world.

LOST IN THE WooDs.-The report comes TO US via
Kawaihae, that Mr.. G. W. Styles, an old resident,
and a storekeeper of Hamakua, Hawaii, is supposed
to be lost in the woods, having wandered off in q
condition of ment0l alteration. We hope the report
will prove unfounded.
MAN OvERBoARD.-On Sunday evening last, one
of the petty officers belonging to the .NdTrGgGnsett,
being somewhat under the influence of drink, in
walking across the yard of the Interns tional Restau-
rant in the dark walked into the open reservoir that
lies there. 1t is full of water, and the man would
have drowned but for a policeman who got help and
fshed him out. But he was taken to the station
house and locked up for being drunk, laying in the
cell all night in his wet clothes. Suppose he had
died during the night of q very natural congestion
OF the lungs-who would be chargeable with man
slaughter? 1t would be well that the authorities
compel the owners Of the premises referred to, to
cause this dangerous reservoir to be covered.
THE MAUI MISERs.-One of the parties who were
prospecting in the Waihee mountains at East Maui,
arrived here this week for the purpose of ascertain
ing whether permission would be granted them to
work what they consider to be a lode of ore of more
or less value, according as it may be developed. We
understand that the government had no objections
to the miners trying their fortunes, but that there Is
some doubt as to the ownership of the land, 1t being
supposed to be crown land. Mr.. MoLeany, who Is
one of the persons interested, is of opinion that the
rocks in the place prospected are of the primary
formation, and have never been exposed to volcanic
action. All possible Encouragement should be
afforded to the explorers. GeOlogically, We know
next to nothing about our islands.

VISIT OF THE ASSEMBLY TO THE NEvADA.-On
Saturday last at 2 p. NJ, by special invitation through
the agents of the Webb Line, Messrs. II. Hackfeld
u Co, the members of the Legislative Assembly in
a body visited the steamship NeUdda, lying at the
and Mr.. Glade on the behalf of the agents of the
line. The magnificent ship was decorated with
flags and streamers in honor of the guests, and
everything about the noble vessel was in the finest
order, as she is now ready for the voyage to New
Zealand on the arrival of the connecting steamer
from San Francisco, due during the present week.
Some time was spent by the Honorable membersin
inspecting the different parts of the ship, which
were shown and explained by the gentlemanly
officers. The country members particularly, many
of whom had never been on board a larger steamer
than the Klauea, were astonished and delighted at
the immense proportions of the Nevada, her spacious
and palatial saloons, and the perfect arrangements
for the comfort and convenience OF passengers. The
powerful engine and the immense walking-beam
were objects of wondering admiration. In the ca
pacious main saloon the company sat down to a
sumptuous collation., the table being loaded with
the choicest viands in bewildering abundance, to
which ample justice was done by the guests. Capt.
Blethen proposed the health of the King. which was
drunk with the hOuors. and briefly responded to by
His Excellency the President of the Assembly, who
gave the health of Capt. Blethen and the owners of
the Webb Line of steamers. The Kings band was
in attendance and discoursed appropriate music
during the afternoon. The occasion was a very
agreeable one. and the visitors expressed themselves
highly pleased with their entertainment.
