Queen VIctoria's Birthday

Was right loyalty observed on Saturday last
thanks to the patriotic impulses Of tue acting
British Commissioner, who threw open his house
and grounds in Nuuauu Valley to all who chose
to honor the day. For the better accommoda-
ton Of the guests tent was erected on the lawn
in front Of the house, under which those who
wished might join in the dance on the green turf.
The royal band vas in attendance during the af-
teruoou, which added to the attractions, and
played some new airs, among which was the
Hardy Norsemsu,7 = very sweet recent
composition. never before heard here. Had
the noble lady, il whose honor the day was kept,
been present. she would no doubt have been sur
prised as well as delighted with sight which
proved beyond doubt that she is houored and
respected in the metropolis Of Hawaii, not only
By those Of British descent, bat By people of
every nationality. There we're His Majesty the
King, His Ministers of State, and other State
officials, With the representatives of the American
and French Governments, the Consular Corps, the
officers of the Z. :. ship Of war Portsmouth. and
CAV assemblsge of ladies, gentlemen aud children
without number. all in holiday attire Abundant
provision was made By the generous host and
hostess, for the guests, and the tables were
loaded with delieacies, viands and flowers. At
the first spread, we're seated His Majesty the
King. the ministers and the diplomatic and con-
salar representauVes-some tEenty-tEo seats.
The first toast of the day was proposed by the
King to Queen Victoria, as the sovereign on whose
empire the sun never sets. Mr.. Davies respond
ed By proposing the health of His Majesty King
Luualilo. Chief Justice Allen then rose and
asked the privilege Of Offering a toast to the
Acting Commissioner of Great Britain, which he
accompanied With few complimentary but very
appropriate remarks, respecting the manner in
which the commissioner had performed the duties
Of the Office. He expressed great pleasure at
the celebration Of these national holidays, as
vel as the friendly relations observed by the
members Of the diplomatic corps, and to which
Her Britannia Mejesty's Acting Commissioner
had greatly coutributed. His short admini=tra-
iiou has been productive Of good feeling between

A w Use Law.

The last Congress passed law to encourage
the planting Of forest trees on the prairies and
uuoccupied lands of the West. 1t provides that
any person who shall plant forty acres with trees
not more than eight feet apart on any quarter
section sf unoecupied land, aud keep them in a
healthful condition for FIVE years shall be entitled
to receive patent for said quarter section Of
land. 16O acres), on the payment of ten dollars.
And any person who may locate homestead
claim, shall be entitled to sixteen acres for every
two acres Of trees he may plant and keep in
healthy condition for Eve years. There are GER
tain provisions in the law to guard the rights Of
claimants as well as to prevent fraud. 1t is easy
to perceive that this statute to encourage the
planting of trees will have good result in scat
tering groves of trees where there are now but
few, and where timber is very scarce. Some
such law as this is needed here to reproduce the
groves Of nature, which are disappearing so rapid
ly from every island in our group. Still. no law
Of this kind will be Of much if any use until
something is done to check the destruction of
trees and forests on our mountains. This is
caused mainly BY the cattle, horses. asses, goats
aud sheep, which are constantly roaming among
them, trampling on and killing the young sap
lings. and stripping the bark from thelarger trees.
The forests are disappearing more rapidly now
thsn at any previous time, and unless checked by
law, and commended by special efforts in tree
culture, our islands will soon become another San
IL Cruz. as described BY q recent writer, in the
following extract:
The influence OF trees upon rain and atmospheric
moisture is shown By the experience Of the island
Of Santa Cruz in the West Indies. This island is
said TO have been garden OF freshness, bcauiy ard
fertility twenty years ago. II WAS covered With
woods, trees were every where abundant, aud rains
we're proiRse and frequent The recent visit OF
gentleman who had known the island In its PALMER
DAYS revealed lamentable change, one-fourth OF
the island having become an utter desert Ihe
forests and trees had been cut away, rainfals had
ceased and the process Of desiccation beginning at
one end of the leland, bad advanced gradually and
rresStibly upon the land and for seven miles had
become As dry and barren as the sea shore. Houses
and plantations had been abandoned, and the ad-
vance Of desOlzfion WAS watched by the people.
wholly unable TO prevent il, but knowing almost TO
a certainty the time when their own habitaiiOns,
their gardens and fresh fields would be part Of the
waste Indeed the whole Islands seem doomed TO
become a desert This sad result is owing entirely,

The YnIue orHorses

Is not realized by many until they are deprived
of them. No servants employed by men in farm
or city work, are half so faithful or so useful as
these brute animals, which, too often. receive only
i'll usage when deserving kind treatment In
large cities, especially every kind of work is
more or less dependent on the aid Of these faith
ful animals, and it is only when an epidemic like
that which has prevailed from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, iuterferes with their service, that mans
dependence on them is shown. The street cars
cease running, the noisy express wagons are
silenced, the heavy laundering drays lie idle
and all owners Of horses are busy caring only to
watch and relieve their faithful animals from the
plague which threatens to cause their death, il
neglected. The lesson which all should learn
from such an epidemic is, where you own horse
employed for labor or pleasure, take good care Of
him, and treat him with the care and kindness
which he deserves

Whatever usy be the rate Of interest II Aus
tralia-and it is uDquestionabl? lOw-there is no
doubt a to the abundance of money and capital
there. A country which produces and exports
annually twenty millions in gold, and two hun
dred millions Of pounds OF wool, has resources
Of wealth which furnish an immense new capital
every year. It Is stated that all the banks and
mercantile hOuses in England doing business with
Australia. have constantly large balances to the
credit Of the latter country. A London paper,
commenting on this abundance OF coin IN the
Colonies. saws: The explanation we believe TO
be that the Australian Colonies. where money Is
abundant. are no longer countries Of large inul-
grafton. in which the demand for capital Is aps to
exceed the supply. BAT are practically in the
economic condition Of old countries, where eaPi-
tai secumuhtes rapidly, and chokes up the chan
uels for its employment Australia with its
gold mines and huge sheep farms, is country
where the industrial organization to large ex-
tent resembles that Of manufacturing country
Ike England, capital being in comparatively few
hands. and the proportion Of labOrers to the
gross produce. being few. The profits Of good
season consequently produce, as il England,
great plethora Of money. which Is not absorbed,
as Is ordinarily the case IN new country, by the
demands Of vast immigration. The explanation
Of the present phenomenon then comes to be,
that the high price Of wool for the last two years
having made Australia uuprecedentedy pros
porous. the resulting sbundanee Of money IS
equally unprecedented
Ought not Hawaii to encourage its commerce
with those prosperous States which offer so many
benefits from more intimate Commercial inter
course. by adopting a regulation which viii make
the sovereign current coin valued at i've dol
lars. and by entering into commercial treaties
with each Of the Colonies! One immediate ad-
vantage would be that customers for our sugar,
rice, coffee, &c, tsould come here 70 buy. instead
Of our having 10 send abroad, as now, TO find
purchasers. This change alone would save our
producers hundreds Of thousands Of dollars an
nually. and render them independently rich within
few years. Shall We not do something to effect
this ehauges Let our statesmen wake up OF
once to lis importance

Life In.urance

Has made remarkable progress the past few
years, chiefly in the United States, where some
Of the leading companies have become very
wealthy. The Annual Statement Of the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of New York, pub
Gshed in to-day's ISSUE shows that the income
of this society for 1872 was sl7.7l6O94, and lis
total expenditures only SlO-sO61sl. leaving
nearly seven millions TO be added to its immense
accumulated assets, which now amount to $751;
55OOOO!-an enormous trust for one corporation
to manage.
The principle of life insurance. as it becomes
more generally understood, Is acknowledged to be
the wisest which prudent man can adopt for
the relief of his family in the event Of DEATH No
man would think of leaving his house or a
ship at sea uninsured, lest the loss of either
