the thoueand, more or less, of this class who were

from petty stealing to attempted murder, are

The TABLE of domestic exports as prepared by
the Collector General Of Customs, and which will
be found in the commercial column, presents a
very handsome showing Of the labors Of our az
ricuIturists. II, ~ history and experience
teaches. agriculture Is the sure basis Of national
prosperity, the steady increase in the export Of
the productions Of our soil ought to prove that we
are prospering. We have made and sold over SIX
millions pounds more sugar the past year than the
year before; our exports during the same period
Of rice, coffee and wool have largely increased.
With the season that now promises 50 favorably
for coming crops; with a soil that has as yet never
required a return Of the elements which we so
freely draw from 1t; with careful management
and the experience gained in the past;-it would
seem that in spite Of low prices for our products,
(Which however cannot always remain SOY and our
disappointment as to treaty advantages, we ought
to win a fair degree Of real agricultural prosperity.

WHILE WE in common with all His Majesty's
loyal subjects most sincerely hope and pray that
Heaven may preserve the life of our King for
many years to come, yet our duty to the nation
demands that we shall speak plainly and promptly
on an important questionable question in fact of
the periOd-which has in a large degree occupied
public attention of late. Four months since, in
our issue of September 9th, we took occasion to
urge, as we do again to-day, the necessity and i'm
pOrtance of fixing the succession to the Throne.
We now as then, declare it to be the duty of the
Kings Ministers-His Majesty's special Consti-
tutiOnal advisers in the executive affairs of the
Kingdom-to give to the country that guarantee
of the stability of our national independence,
that security against fears of possible disorder
and the uncertain condition of values and inter-
ests, which will be unquestiOnably afforded by a
settlement of this important question. The def
mite appointment and declaration of the success
sion to the Throne has always been regarded in all
mOnarchical countries as a condition precedent to
national order, tranquility and permauence, and
the contrary is justly anticipated when such pre-
cautions are wanting.
The provisions of the present Constitution in
regard to the succession are found in Article 30.
This secures the succession to the heirs of the late
King and of his sister, the late Princess Victoria,
and then goes on to say lin case there is no
heir as above provided, then the successor shall
be the person whom the Sovereign shall appoint
with the consent of the Mobiles, and publicly pro-
claim as such during the Kings life,' &c. The
death of both the late King and the Princess with
out heirs, and the failure of the King to appoint
q successor, was an emergency which, although
provided for in what follows the above quotation,
was evidently an extreme one-a dernier resort
in the view Of those who drafted the article. 1t
would have been wiser by far had the nomination
of a successor by the reigning Sovereign been
made obligatory, in case of a failure of heirs.
The election of a King by the Legislature is
neither republican nor monarchical. 1t is not re-
publican, because the people do not choose elect
ors or delegates to vote as they may instruct. No
provision is made by law for this, but an ordinary
Legislature may by accident have this immense
power. No Legislature in the world, however
competent, honest and intelligent, could be trusted
to act according to the views of 4 majority of the
people in such cases. For in the first place, they
may not know the views of the people, inasmueh
as they are not elected on such an issue. The
kind of clamor which Il mob might bring to bear
on them in Honolulu might prevent them from
voting as they felt a majority of their own dis
tricts desired; and corrupting influences may al
ways be brought into exercise. a single casting

Is LOOKING over an exchange paper we came
across these words, emphasized-"Pay your small
hills" 1t struck US that they were peculiarly
applicable to this season and locality. Last
Wednesday was the last day Of the quarter and
of the year, and tradesmen generally sent in
their bills. We speak more particularly Of small
bills. Now if we mean to pay those bills, it
makes no difference to us whether we pay them
at once or whether we wait until, through our
neglect and the neglect of Others like us, the

twelve per cent. to meet his engagements. If we

pay still another, and the ten dollars that we set

dred dollars before night, and perhaps come back
to us before it has finished Its beneicent journey
ings. Among the minor virtues, the prompt pay
ment of small bills holds a conspicuous place.

DURING THE past year a great deal has been
written IN our local papers about the spread of
leprosy in these islands. This was unquestionably
required for the purpose of arousing our own peo-
pie to the necessity Of prompt and thorough action
in removing all cases of the disease to a place of
isolation, and to this end perhaps the columns of
the native papers would have suficed. There
can be no question however but that we have
oyerdone the thing in the foreign journals, mas
much as their readers in foreign countries have
thereby obtained a very erroneous and injurious
idea of the prevalence of the disease here. \ let
ter has recently beea received in this city from a
gentleman residing in Melbourne, Australia, in
which it is intimated that the reports of the pre-
valence of leprOsy in these Islands as gathered
from Honolulu papers-and the Gazette is par
ticularly mentioned in this connection-are such
rs will be likely to deter ONE travellers from COM
ing this way on the route to Europe and America.
We trust that this statement may prove to be
capable Of modification, but it is nevertheless
quite probable that timid people should take alarm
at some of the exaggerated accounts that have
gone abroad from here about the fearful spread of
the disease. We who live here however, and who
have never for one moment been under any appre-
hension of personal danger from the disease, can
truly assure our readers abroad that they may to-
day travel from one end of the islands to the other
without seeing or hearing anything of leprosy-
unless their curiosity, (aided by the permission
of the proper Oficer) should impel them to visit
the precipice-bound valley of Kalaupapa on
MolOkaI.

Too low an estimate is apt to be set on
the domestic value Of newspapers Alter
reading them, and putting ourselves,
through their agency, in mental eorespon-
dence with the world, they are thrown aside
and forgotten. But to suppose their use
fulness bounded by their news columns
and the waste-bag is thriftless mistake
In the first place, there are the house
hold recipes, TO be found in stray corners,
often excellent, and deserving a refuge on
the ay-leaf ofthe family cookbook. Then
come the pretty verses, the strange and
droll stories, the brief biographies and
"reminiscences which, pasted in scrap
book, are a source Of neyerending pleasure,
not only to those who do not care for
richer intellectual food, but to those who
have only odd minutes for reading.
Notwithstanding the squibs joeular
journalists have penned on the use Of
newspapers for bed-clothing, We know
from experience that these are not to be
despised. They may not be as comfort
able as your blankets, but certainly they
keep out the cold. Two thicknesses of
papers are better than pair Of blankets,
and in the case of persons who dislike the
weight of many bed-clothes, they are
invaluable. A spread made Of double
layer of papers between a covering Of
calico or chintz, is desirable in every
household. The papers should be tackled
together with thread, and also basted to
the covering to keep them from slipping.
An objection has been made on account Of
the rustling, but if soft papers be chosen
the noise will not be annoying, especially
should the spread be laid between a blank
ct and the eounterpane
As protection to plants against cold,
both in and out Of doors, nothing is better.
If newspapers are pinned up over night at
a window between pots and glass, the
flowers will not only not be frozen, but
will not even get chilled, as they are SO
liable to be at this season. In the same
way, if taken to cover garden-beds, on the
frosty nights Of early autumn, they will
allow the plants to remain safely outdoors
some time later than is common.
One of the oddest services to put our
journals to is the keeping Of ice in sum
mer. An ingenious housekeeper recently
discovered that her daily lump of ice
would last nearly twice as long when
wrapped in newspapers, and placed in any
kind of covered box, as when trusted solely
to refrigerator. This is very convenient,
since it is possible to have the best and
cheapest refrigerator constantly at hand.
To polish all kinds Of glass after wash
ing, except table glass, no cloth or flannel
is half so good as a newspaper and for a
bakers dozen Of other uses, quite foreign
to its primal purpose, it is without a rival.
