FIRE.-About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
fire was discovered in small, two story frame
house ON Commercial street, near the foot of
Park. After the engines arrived it was speedi-
ly extinguished. The house was occupied by
Mrs. Mary Stanton, poor but worthy woman,
who lost considerable furniture. The damage
was slight as it was valued at only S40O. 1t is
owned by Capt Isaac Sturdivant The fire
caught probably from passing engine. Some
amusing scenes were witnessed. The engines
and iremen completely blocked up Commercial
street at that point and the Grand Trunk pas
senger train was unable to pass to the P S. &
P depot as the hose lay across the track. Car
riages with passengers for the Boston train
were also unable to pass. The anxiety of the
various passengers en- route to the Boston trains
caused great mirth among the bye ISLANDERS. No
beseeching or swearing however, could induce
the removal of the hose from across the track
until the danger was over,

The Transit of Venus.

The leading Governments of Europe and Amer
lea selecting their stations for the observation
Of the transit OF Venus which occurs in Decem-
Der, 1874. According to the calculations of our
local astronomers, Captain Smith and Others
this groups very favorabIy located for this pur-
pose, Hawaii, in particular, lying in the central
line of transit. From a communication in the
London Times, we extract the following, show
ing that England, France and the United States
have selected this group as one of the points of
observation.
May be permitted to remark that If the Presi-
dent of the Royal Society is wrong TO the direc
ton in which he has advised the Government to ap
propriate the liberal funds voted by Pertinent for
observing the phenomenon, he will at least have
the satisfaction OF SHINING in excellent company !?
Let compare the five proposed stations Special
stations in addition TO our established observator-
les Walking them in order of longitude eastward,
with others selected by the commissions appointed
by the institute of France, the academies of Berlin
aud st. Petersburg and the United States Naval De-
partment, which include the most distinguished
mathematical astronomers of the respective nations
1.-THE first British position is Alexandria The
French station themselves at Suez and the Russian
Academy, supported by the usual munifcence of
the imperial Government when any worthy scienti-
fc object is to be attained aud providing for up
wards of twenty stations between Kamschatka aud
the Euxine, will push observing parties in the same
direction and occupy stations at Tiis and the
foot Of Ararat.
"The second British station is on the island of
Rodriguez The French proceed to ST. Denis de la
Reunion; while the Germans have fixed upon the
Mauritius, and Lord Lindsay, with a scientific spirit
which cannot fail to secure to bis lordshp lasting
honors, is preparing an admirably equipped expe-
dition for the same destination.
"The third British station is Kerguelen's Island.
The Germans proceed there, possibly also making
an attempt to effect suitable landing Macdon-
aid Island
"The fourth special station proposed by Sir George
Airy, is Auckland, New Zealand. The French insti-
tute places party on their nearest possession, New
Caledonia.
"our fifth position is at Oahu, in the Sandwich
Islands. The French proceed to Honolulu, and the
Americans, who confne their attention TO stations
in the Pacific, will be IN the same region"

And yet this danger Is pery imuiineHt Are

We are constantly receiving letters referring
70 shc plague which is now attracting so much
attention among Us, aud would fain put them all
into our waste-basket as we dislike 10 write,
much less 10 circulate, The startling details which
each month reveals TO US But what can we do,
ignore lis existence and calmly fold our hands
and see it spread around US or seek to make
known and impress on every one the dread re-
atty. that leprOsy is contagious like the small
p7x and more fatal than the cholerai Disagree
able as the task is, it must be done, and the
characteristics Of the disease must be impressed
on every one. tl il becomes dreaded and feared
more than the yellow fever. The following letter
presents the subject in q new light, and shows
the absolute necessity Of immediate action to
check il, and Of sustaining the authorities in the
course which they have decided to adopt-com-
pleie isolation Of every suspected ieper:
In common with many others, am feeling
deeply exercised about the great increase of lep-
rosy during The pas. few years. Ii seems plain
that the methods Of the late Board Of Health
have been Intellectual to check ITS ravages. The
disease has multiplied to an extent which is
alarming TO a superficial observer; and reflection
on The subject creates still greater alarm.
There are positively known to be 200 well
developed lepers- II can hardly be doubted that
there are 800 more who are concealed from the
police Judging from past progress Of the disease,
these 200 Iepers have, or viii have infected at
least an equal number beside, in whom the dis.
ease viii appear during the next three years.
This is an inevitable result. The Board of Health

mutual benefit TO both countries We import
from the United States about as much in value
as we export to them. BY extraordinary duties
the American Government derives some 100000
from our products. BY very moderate duties.
and by giving special privileges to American
whaleships we derive only fourth part of that
amount from American products imported into
this Kingdom. As an Offset to the inequality in
the reciprocity sought by US, we propose TO lease

if necessary to accomplish the object. The ad-

Communicated
Preaching among the Lepers.

Nh. EDITOR 1t is noticed that the Catholic
Bishop has set apart one Of his clergy for the
spiritual benefit of the unfortunate members Of
that faith on Molokai. This is as it should be.
1t is matter of much rejoicing that self
denying priest has taken up his abode among
those of his sect. From what has been reported
from time to time at the meetings Of the Ha-
waiian Evangelical Association, it may be in
ferred that our Protestant friends have not been
negligent on their part. For years, the Rev. L.
Smith, d. D. has oficiated at the Leper Hospital
at Kah, often administering the Communion to
those adhering TO his belief. A deacon of Kau-
makapili Church is among the lepers on Molokai,
and holds services. regularly among them, as l
have been informed. For years, up to December
last, the Hawaiian Board has subscribed for 20
copies of the KUoKoA, to be distributed gratis
among the lepers. and at present the Board Of
Health does the same. At the next meeting of
the Evangelical Association, this subject will,
doubtless, be fully considered. and something
done to provide stated preaching at Kalaupapa.
