The present number Of the Magazine contains
a very interesting article of "reminiscences Of
Hahnemann and his last wife, giving an account
Of their thronged medical receptions in Paris
when the famous author Of the system was at a
Tenerzbis age, in the height Of popularity. Our
friend, the Editor. will hardly need our cordial
WISHES for his professional career at home, for We
believe he is already most favorablJ established.
II WILL be seen By an advertisement from the
Minister Of Finance in to-day's paper, that the
Hawaiian Government is again prepared to issue
bonds Of the several values Of 500, 500, $500,
and $1,000, bearing interest at the rate Of . per
cent. per annum. This issue is made under the
sAct to authorize a Loan" approved Doth Of
July, 1872, which allows of the issue Of bonds
not to exceed S25O,0O0 in amount. A similar
notice was given September 10th, 1872, but after
some months, the then Minister of Finance de-
clined to issue any more bonds.

Teacher in this city, was taken suddenly i'll on Thurs
day evening and fell on the sidewalk on Nuuanu

bleeding p~rofusely, by some gentlemen who saw the
accident. We are informed that q well-known physi-
clan, who was riding by at the time, refused to stop

ity, to say nothing Of Christianity, must severely
condemn such callousness, and the license of such a

We HAVE on our table the February number of
the ~ New England Medical Gazette, - the organ
of the Homeopathic School in New England and
a leading journal of that branch of the medical
profession in the United Statcs-as we Judge from
such an unprofessionaI examination OF it's contents
rs we can give. Our interest in it is chiefly the
personal one derived from noticing that Its general
editor is DR.. c.. Fessenden Nichols, so pleasantly
known both socially and professionally to
many Of our community, from his residence here
of over 4 year, for the benefit of his own health,
during which he p~raeticed omewhat among the
friends of the maxim sinihd sHuiHbus cRrdRfur.
Well, even the unbelievers in the little globules
and the infnitesimal divisions say that if they DO
no good, they do no harm-and that is much more
than the . regulars ever claimed for their doses.
But we don't intend to argue for Homeopathy.
1t long ago passed that stage in its existence when
it could be dismissed with ridicule or ignored as
unscienti6c, and its pleasant treatment and fine
results secure for it among its patrons an enthu-
siasm that is never expressed for a drugstore.

this school might well take n,uIfum IN parro for

the Southern S,ates-the better part ofthem-
there is disposition to be law abiding, and to
do 20 violence, either to individuals or to the
laws existing. But do they do right 10 lgnor-
ing the existence of violence and bloodshcd 10
resistance to constituted authority? l sympa-
thz. with their PROSTATE condition, and would
do all 10 ny power to relieve them-acknowl-
edriug that 10 some instances they have had
most irving governments to live under, and
very oppressive ones 10 the way of taxation for
nominal improvements not giving benefits
equal 10 the hardships imposed but can they
proclaim themselves entirely Irresponsible Tor
his coadiion2 They cannot. Violence has
been rampant 10 some localities, and has either
been justified or denied by those who could
have prevented it. The theory is even raised
that there is 10 be no further interference on
the part OF the General Government TO protect
citizens within Il State where he State author
tiles fail to give protection: This is great
mistake. u hile | remain Executive all the
laws OF Congress aud the provisions OF the Con
s;iution. Including the recent amendments ad-
dcd thereto, will be enforced with rlgor, but
viii regret that they should have added one
lot or title to Executive duties or powers. Let
there he fairness in the Discussion OF Southern
questions, the advocates Of both or all political
parties giving honest, truthluliepollo VI oSEoi
reuces, condemniug the wrong and uph holding
the right, and soou all will be well. Under eX-
listing conditions the negro votes the Republl,
can ticket, because he knows his friends are OF
that party. Many good citizen votes the op-
posile, not because he agrees with the great
principles Of State which separate parties, but
because generally, he is opposed to negro rule.
This is most deiusve cry. Treat the negro
as citizen and voter-as he is and must re-
main--apd 5000 parties will be divided, not on
the color line but on principle. Then we shall
have no complaints Of sectional Interference.
