The appointment Of Caleb Cushing TO be the
successor Of the retiring minister at Madrid, is
the fttest selection yet made by General Grant,
who has been extremely unfortunate in some of
his appointments to civil service. Mr.. Cushing
is lawyer of ripe experience, being over seventy
years of age, liberal in his views. and possessed
OF qualities which render him admirably fitted to
represent the United States in Spain at the pres
eut critical juncture. If we remember rightly.
he was formerly a democrat of the Jacksonian
school, from which some of the best conservative
statesmen Of America have graduated, and have
proved the safest leaders Of the nation during
the past few years. The telegraph, under date of
Dec 3d. says that he would leave for Madrid
about the close of the year. and that his appoint
ment would be ratified by the Senate

Kilauea, which had been despatched to Kailua
to convey HIS MAJESTY home, returned for his
physician. who, accompanied by His Exceency
the Minister of the Interior left at seven o'clock
on Thursday morning, arriving at Kailua early
Friday morning. 1t raned all that day, prevent

weather cleared up, and He was conveyed on
board, accompanied by his physicians and other
attendants. The steamer returned direct to
Honolulu, reaching her dock about 9 A. NJ. Sun
day, the Kings arrival being announced by
royal salute from Punch Bowl and from II. B.
Ms ship Tenedos. On landing, he entered his
state carriage and was driven to the palace, look
ing by no means as well as when he left for Kona.
On Thursday last he had severe hemorrhage
of the lungs, which reduced his strength and has
rendered him very feeble. All will no doubt join
in the ardent wish that the royal patients
health may be restored and his life prolonged.
Daily bulletins reporting his health will be issued

China Mail Company. New Fleet

emma Mail SOmpany's New Fleet.
This large steamship company, list of whose
vessels we published short time since, has late.
ly been making extraordinary efforts to restore
its credit and prestige, since it md itself of the
gang OF Wall street spectators which had as
sumed control of it, aud since the new board Of d.
rectors have taken charge. Its expenses have
been largely cut down by the discharge of sinecure
officials, and the reduction of salaries. The con-
tract with the railroad companies, under which
the latter could dictate its rates of freight has
also been terminated, so that its income from this
source promises to be increased. The company
has recently built eight iron propeller steamships,
four of which, the Acapulco, Colon, Colima and
Granada, are now in service. These ships are
from 5000 to $500 tons each, and cost from
100000 to 100000 each Two others of 5000
tons each, the City of Pekin aud the City of
Yeddo, costing 81 l27 600 each, are nearly ready
10 launch. These are for the China service. and
are said to be the most splendid vessels ever
built Still two more propellers, of LOO tons
each, TO be used Oh the Panama route, are nearly
ready for service. When all these steamers are
finished, the companyis efficiency will be very
greatly increased.

MosouIToEs.-These little pests have been quite
troublesome during the past few weeks, more espe-
cially in the evenings In some localities they are
SO annoying as to prevent persons from writing,
reading or doing anything else but look after them
The other evening, when several ladies and gentle
men were amusing themselves in warding off their
attacks, little girl, who sat by eagerly reading
story, spoke up and said, Why don't you do as 1
do!-let 'em bite" And there she sat with her
face covered with twenty more of these merciless
bloodsuckers, quietly drawing their evening meal
from her fair cheeks.

TIE resignation Of General Sickles as Ameri-
can Minister to Spain has been announced. 1t
appears from the published correspondence that,
finding that he was not in harmony with his gov
eminent, he rendered his resignation which Pres
ident Grant declined to accept He again re.
newed his resignation and insisted on his accept
ance, aud the President at once recalled him.
General Sickles, although he proved brave
soldier and left the battle field with record
which any one might be proud Of, is hardly the
man to fill the position Of minister during such
crisis as has lately passed. He is the represen-
tatire Of a rowdy class in America. of which
Gen. Butler is another conspicuous one,-a class
who seek TO embroil the country that spectators
and gamblers may profit thereby. In time of
war and great political crises, it is well that cas-
tious statesmen should be selected to represent
the country abroad. While Gen. Sickles' prompt
resignation has been honorable to him. his retire.
meut will be as acceptable to the Spanish PEG pie
as TO the American.

IT is quite unnecessary to prolong the discus
sion with the Adrrtissr. regarding the standard
OF Hawaiian newspaper literature. All our read
ers know that native tales, in prose or poetry.
are more or less tainted with what to refined
tastes are clearly impurities, but which to the ua-
tive mind, however well educated, does not exhib-
it The same faint. To illustrate what we mean /:
any man familiar with the vernacular can converse
in it with the most refined Hawaiian lady with
out the slightest sense Of improperly, on sub
jects and in language which, if literally in,erpre-
ted, would shock the refined modesty of American
or European ladies' aud gentlemen. 1t Is in this
way that language may and is sometimes inadver-
tently used in the Hawaiian papers, which a
closer revision would exclude THIS. however,
is very different from the articles in the Nuhou,
which gave rise to the discussion.

Registered Letters.

WITHIN the past few years, the United States
government has introduced system of regis
teriug valuable letters sent by mail, either to do
nestle or foreign places. 1t is only within the
past two years that this service has become so
systematized as to prove most valuable arm oil
the postal service. As it is not generally under
stood, we will explain its operation. The charge
/ for registering q letter,-no matter what its
weight may be, one-half ounce or four pounds,
the largest weight allowed by mails Is cents,
which is the same as was formerly charged in the
United States where it was reduced January l,
1874, to cents A single registered letter sent
from Honolulu to New York or any other point
10 the United States, will cost:
Hawaiian cents
Hawaiian registry cents
American registry cents
cents
The only extra charge for heavier letters is the
Hawaiian postage, so that letter weighing II
ounces (twenty-four single rates. will cost Sl.67
The great advantage of this system is the seeu-
rity which attends it. The postmaster gives a
receipt for all registered letters and such letters
are not delivered, at their destination, except the
party addressed gives receipt, which is returned
to the person who mailed or sent the letter.
These letters are then put in separate bag,
sealed and forwarded to San Francisco where
they are passed to special registry clerk, who
puts them with other registered letters destined
for the East. They are enclosed in an iron chest,
and sent by special maui agent who accompa-
MES his charge to Chicago and New York. 1t is
stated that out of $4,000 registered letters sent
from New York during 1872, only three failed to
reach the parties addressed, and the value of these
was recovered from the agents to whom they had
been entrusted. Owing to the security attending
this system as now conducted, its growth in Am
erica has been extraordinary, and every mail from
San Francisco carries more or less gold coin, green
backs, jewelry and other small valuables on which
the postage is very light. AS it costs less than
one per cent to send gold BY mail froLi San Fran
cisco to New York, the registry system has had
the effect of reducing the rate of exchange on
New York to about e.half Of one per cent.
Gold or greenbacks can be sent in a registered
letter from Honolulu to any point in the United
States in the same way. Thus if forty dollars in
gold are sent, the charges will be:
Hawaiian postage ceuts
Hawaiian registry cents
