Says q San Francisco paper: As
an illustration Of the success with
which farmers are meeting in doing
their own business, we give the fol-
lowing instance Of how It is done in
the dairy agency in this city.
A dairyman consigned 1876 pounds
Of butter 10 the agency on March
both. An account was rendered
April LIST Of the lot, sold at 80 cents,
aggregating $61. .05, and netting the
consignor $56.8G.
The same party sent on the same
day to a regular commission house
in this city two IArcels Of butter,
weighing respectively 1856 pounds
and 92a pounds, from the same
churning as that sent to the dairy
agency. An account Of this con-
aignment was rendered some two
weeks later than the first rs follows,
1856 pounds sold for 22t cents. Net
proceeds Of the two parcels, $59.97.
In other words, 1856 pounds netted
at the dairy agency within SAIL az
much as was. realized from 27SJ
pounds Of butter consigned TO q
regular commission house. Who, in
view OF such showing, will say that
farmers cannot do their own busi.

Reading at Iolani Palace.

Last Tuesday evening the talented professionals HIr-
and Mrs. Hoskins, who are at present under a shorten
gagement at the Royal Hawaiian Theatre, gave select
readings at the Palace by command Of Her Majesty
the Queen. The Palace grounds were brilliantly
lighted with torches and the East Room vas fitted
up for the occasion with a temporary stage \ large
eompaDy-some eighty ladies and gentlemen-Her
Majesty's guests, enjoyed the intellectual treat The
Balcony Scene in Romeo and Juliet opened the en-
tertainment, and was well rendered; Mrs Hoskins'
reading OF Tennyson's May Queen" tfor the FIRST
time) was full Of natural life, while New Years
Eve" which followed. was touching, and indeed
brought tears 70 the eyes Of some Of the fair listen
ers. Mark Antony's Grafton By M Hoskins, was
pronounced by good critics as the best piece OF elo-
cution by him of the evening MARY, Queen =
Scots" By Mrs. Hoskins. was however in our opin-

high talent as well as careful study. Mr.. Hoskins

were over az about 10 O'Clock, and the evenings en-
tertainment was one of those pleasant affairs the
memory Of which will last.

Ball on Shipboard.

On Wednesday evening Of this week, Captain
VIM. z. Hopkins and officers Of the U. s. S. Bent
cia entertained a numerous company of ladies and
gentlemen at a ball and supper on board that fine
ship. His Majesty the King and suite, accompanied
by the Queen, Prince Leleiohoku and other members
Of the Royal Family, arrived at about 8 o'clock, at
which hour dancing was commenced to the music Of
the indispensable Berger and his band, and kept up
with spirit until the wee, short hours ayont the
twal,' the Royal Party retiring shortly after mid
night The ship was decorated with flags and foW-
ers with great taste, the decks being enclosed on all
sides with bunting, so as TO form a grand saloon,
lighted with numerous candelabras. The rich toll
cites of the ladies, the brilliant uniforms of the ma
val officers, the crowds of happy faces, as the numer-
Gus sets continuously trod the mazes of the Dance
all formed a splendid cOup-d'GH. The supper was
served below, and was all that refined taste or luxu-
rious fancy could suggest. Beautiful flowers were
present everywhere; but the huge funnel or smoke
stack of the ship, lowered till its edge was only a
few feet from the deck, was metamorphosed into a
perfect parterre of flowers and evergreens, in the
centre Of which a real fountain constantly played.
The gallant officers Of the BeRicia had evidently
made strenuous exertions to produce an evenings
entertainment that should be the ne plus ultra of
the kind, and they succeeded admirably.

Emperor Williams Day.

fOn Monday last was observed in Honolulu the an
adversary of the birthday of a truly great man.
great in the highest sense Of the wOrd-the Emperor
of Germany. Born on the ODD of March, 1871, His
Majesty has reached the ripe age of seventy-seven
years. Our German fellow-citizens celebrated the
day with spirit and enthusiasm, in which they re-
ceived the cordial cooperation of those of other ma
tionalities. Early in the day, His Excellency the
Governor called on T. c. Heuck, Esq, the Gerg1an
Consul, at the Hotel, accompanied by the government
band, which played an appropriate serenade. The
ships of war in port-American and English-were
dressed with flags. as was the shipping generally.
At noon the U. S. S. BeniciG fired a national salute,
"a graceful national courtesy, the more so that it is
unusual in the absence of war vessels of the nation
saluted. Consul Heuck so regarded it, and express
ed his acknowledgements to the American Minister
Resident and to Capt. Hopkins during g visit to the
Benicid on the same day. At the German Consul
late, a handsome ana proIuseiy ueco4Aseu Iunon eaUI0
was spread, where Mr.. Heuck received his numerous
callers. Toasts were drank in bumpers of Rhine
Wine, first Of which was the health of His Majesty
the Emperor of Germany, proposed by the Minister
of Foreign Relations, followed by that of His Majesty
Kalakaua, the Queen, and the Royal Family of Ha-
wall, proposed by Consul Heuck. The Consulate
was profusely but ~tastefully decorated with the flags
of all nations represented here, (not excepting the
Dragon Of China) but prominent were the Hawaiian
md German, crossed under a fine steel engraving of
the brave old Emperor. An open air concert at the
German Club rooms, given by German residents
generally, with a torch-light illumination, was the
feature of the evening, the music by Berger's band,
which lasted from Z till o. Afterwards the company
enjoyed. the dance in the spacious rooms until a late
hour. His Majesty the King and suite honored the
company with his presence for an hour or more, and
participated in the dance. Thus the birthday of
the Emperor of United Germany was fttingly cee-
brated in Honolulu.

some OF OUR PRACTICAL business men, who do
their own thinking, have suggested that the sub
ject Of advance pay to labOrers upon plantations,
will bear the application Of thought, and possibly
some legislation. The idea is entertained and is
growing, that it would be better, both for en-
pIoyers and IabOrers, If our law relating to contract
laborers were 80 modified as to bar the recovery
Of ADVANCES paid to them under its provisions. 1t
has been generally conceded that the advance sys-
TEN has have the cause of much-if not the most
of the dissatisfaction existing as to the law,
both to employers and employed. The question
~, how to bring about the needed reformation ?
Undoubtedly st is useless for one employer to I'M
dertake to engage hbOrers without paying adj
vances, so long as others continue 10 pay them
We arc informed that Government desires an
expression Of opinion ON the subject from those

to give direction to legislation upon this or other

GOLD AS A MONEY STANDARD

The difficulty Of .using both gold and silver as
money has been a serious ono in the past, and
various have been the expedients to overcome 1t.
Some governments have tried to make both
metals the standard at the same time, but from
the constantly changing cost Of production OF the
two metals in relation to each other, this has
been found to be impossible, for whatever the
law, the metal whose comparative appreciation
was the greatest or whose comparative deprecia-
ton was the least, would 90 out Of circulation,
thus in reality, making one metal at one time
and the other at another time, according TO cir
cumstances, the sole money standard.
Generally where one metal has been adopted,
it has been that of the greatest value, while the
other has been coined and its circulation left
simply to the demands and conveniences of trade.
But perhaps the most perfect practice is that
adopted by England and the United States, after
long years of legislation and experiment, which
makes gold it's standard, and simply minis silver
coins Of low value for change and limits their use
20 small payments. For the sake OF keeping tins
silver change in circulation it is generally depre-
ciated sufficiently to prevent the possibility OF Its
appreciation. from any cause, above the stand
ard. This measure is more satisfactory in its
workings than any that have ever been devised.
There is no reason in the world why we should
not take advantages of the united wisdom of
these two great nations, and adopt their c9nclu-
sions. The coin system of onr chief market
