Mr.. EDITOR 1 beg leave to send you one or two
extracts from my scrap-book, with the remark that
they will bear perusal and study by the editor of the
Gazette and his corps Of assistants
"The delusive itch for SANDER, whether to crafty
oftener out of a principle of
leyeing, from a narrowness and poverty of soul,
ever impatient Of merit and superiority in others;
whether a mean ambition, or the insatiate lust of
being witty, Ga talent in which Immature and malice
are no ingredients; )-or, lastly, whether from q nat
ural cruelty of disposition, distracted from all views
and considerations Of self: to which one, or whether
to all jointly, we are indebted for this contagious
malady; thus much is certain, from whatever seeds
it springs, the growth and progress of it are as de-
structive 10, as they are unbecoming, a civilized
people"
"A certain obstinate editor does not hold opinions,
but they hold him; for when he is once possessed Of
an error, ii is like a devil, only cast out with great
difficulty. Whatsoever he lays hold on, like a drown
ing man, he never loses, though it do but help to
sink him the sooner. His ignorance is abrupt and
inaccessible, impregnable both by art and nature,
and will hold out to the last, though il has nothing
but rubbish to defend. 1t is as dark as pitch, and
sticks fast to anything 1t lays hold on. His skull is
so thick, that it is proof against any reason, and
never cracks but upon the wrong side, just opposite
to that against which the impression is made, which
surgeons say does happen very frequently. The
slighter and more inconsistent his opinions are, the
faster he holds them, otherwise they would fall asun-
der Of themselves: for opinions that are false ought
to be bel with more strictness and assurance than
those that are true, otherwise they will be apt to betray
their masters before they are aware. He is re-
solved TO understand no mans reason but his own,
because he finds no man can understand his but him
self His wits are like a sack, which the French pro-
verb says is tied faster before it is full than when it
Is; and his opinions are like plants that grow upon
rocks, that stick fast though they have no root. His
understanding is hardened like Phsraoh's heart, and
is proof against all sorts Of judgments whatsoever

VI WI NoT'infrequently hear the remark from old
residents that Honolulu is not the healthy place it
was, years ago. True it is, that we never used
to hear Of typhoid fever, that latterly appears to
visit us every summer, and sometimes proves
fatal. And we believe that our almost total
neglect Of sanitary regulations in one marked
particular, is the cause of this change for the
worse in our climate. Some two years ago or
more, we called attention to the fact that in this
city, the modern temples of ClOacina were pest
houses, which if allowed to go unheeded and I'M
regulated, would gradually cause Honolulu to
lose its high reputation as a health resort. About
that time. the then Board Of Health took up the
subject, and for several months the work of re-
moving, cleansing, etc, was vigorously attended
to. But the reform was only temporary the
evil Is to-day just as rife as ever, and needs to be
plainly spoken about. Every residence, as well
as every business house, is provided with what is
called by courtesy, a water-closet. They are SIM
ply small wooden structures, over generally shall
low pits dug in the earth. In these pits masses
Of purifying night-soil are left to slow d~ecompo-
sition, while the surrounding atmosphere is laden
with the horrible, disease-breeding odor. To DO
away with all this, we would propose chad we a
city government to carry out the regulation) that

Is OUR issue Of the 5th ultimo., we gave at
some length the reasons that exist why a new
steamer for the inter-island trade, the necessity
for which has become apparent, should be built
here instead Of abroad. And we are now graft
fed to learn that His Majesty's Government, rec
ognizing the soundness Of those reasons, has de-
eided that the proposed steamer shall be built
here. In due time we shall hear more definitely
on this subject.

Philadelphia used to be thought the stamping
ground Of the 'cutest lawyers, but Boston appears
to have one who is entitled to 60 up head. This
Boston lawyer, under the will of a deceased wife,
claimed a life interest in q large estate ia Kansas,
left by her, but her friends sought to break the
will. Ascertaining that under the laws OF Kansas
he would have been heir to the estate if no will had
been made, he permitted them TO break the will,
and then, TO their surprise and disgust, took pos
session of the estate.
The London Daily Telegraph claims to have the
largest circulation in the world, and it has attained
this proud distinction by conducting itself on The
- American plan" Ii is untiringly enteTprising.
The last feat was tn write up a trightiul descrip-
ton of a prize fight between n dwarf named
Brummy and a ferocious bulldog. The details
were fairly sickening and the town was Mortified.
Investigations were set on foot at once. and it was
soon discovered that it was a cOck-and bull story
instead Of a dWarf-and bulldog one. In other
words, it was a hoax.

The ANNOUNCEMENT Of the recall of c. S. Mat
toon, Esq, United States Consul at this port,
appears to be confirmed and it is stated that the
change is made solely on the American principle
Of rotation in Office. There certainly could exist
no other reason, for Mr.. Nation during bis
incumbency of four years has discharged the
duties Of his Office in a manner that has done
honor to his country and himself; and as a resi-
dent Of our city ne has made many and warm
friends. We cordially second the suggestion
thrown out by the Friend, that our government
might with advantage secure the services of a
gentleman Of Mr.. Mattoon's ability and integrity.

IT IS sufficiently annoying to have to put up
with the GaSeHe's reckless utterances from week
to week in our own community, but when they
are credited abroad and are circulated in print to
the manifest injury of the country, annoyance
must give place to indignation. Here, for in
stance, are two paragraphs which we translate
from the Courier DIES Eats Unis, of New York,
July Is, and Aug. Is:
"The Honolulu GG=ene makes some melancholy
reflections on the fact that many members of the Ma
tiOnal Assembly have been seen dead-drunk in the
streets"
1.-The Honolulu Gazens complains bitterly on &c
count Of the bad composition Of the present Ministry,
all the members of which, it assures US, are merely
adventurers.'

journal that thus persistently ISLANDERS and

these so-called water-closets be turned into earth
closets. All that is necessary is about forty feet
Of rough lumber, a few nails, and two or three
hours labor. 4 box, five feet long, two feet
wide and two feet deep, open at the top, and so
placed that its contents may be easily removed,
Is all that Is required. Instead Of digging a pit,
place this box under your water-closet. Fill an
old barrel with dust swept from the highway
from day to day. Keep the night-soil in the box
covered thoroughly with this dust, and you will
find this center of foul and disgusting odors is as
free from any disagreeable smells as your parlors.
In addition to this, the accommodations in the box
may be removed, from time 10 time, as readily
and with as little offense to the nostrils as remov-
ing so much sand. If our citizens viii unite in
carrying out this plan, the question of sewerage
may be left to itself for many years to come.
This is a sensible, practicable, decent and sani-
tary plan, which we hope to see adopted.

PEACE IN THE GRAVEYdRD.

The Americans are not q malicious or vim
dictiye people. In that marvellous chapter in
which Victor Hugo sketches the composition
! &C the Constituent Assembly he gives but two
words to our cOuntryman, Thomas Paine. but
those two words do each other great honor !;
he calls him "an American and clement His
dissemination to murderOus reprisals brought
him into trouble with the sterner rulers of
the nation, and only an accident left him in
the Conciergerie while his fellow prisoners
were dragged to the guillotine 1t is the ex-
ception and not the rule when you see An
American who thinks his neighbor ought to
be shot or hanged for differing with him, or
who delights in raking among the smoldering
embers of old quarrels. Of course there are
SUCH here and there. A Hoyt of AthOl some
times rises in the North to denounce those
whose magnanimity appears to his narrow
soul like crime, and he may in moment of
headlong partisanship draw his fellows after
him. But when reason returns, such brawlers
lose their momentary consequence; and those
they have mised look upon them as the dis
enchanted queen of faery looked upon the
asnne weaver, their eyes do loathe his visage
On the other hand, there is an occasional wild
editor In the South, or rural delegate who
breathes outthreatenings and slaughter towards
his Yankee felow-citizens, which make ad-
mirabe campaign documents for Republican
Committees, and are taken seriously by sincere
and unthinking persons like the President and
Mr.. Butler. But the great bulk of the people
of this country North and South do not hate
each other and it is a wretched piece Of dis
honesty on the part of those politicians whose
trade is loyalty, to make them believe they do.
1t is a common thing to hear the represent
atives of special trades and professions say if
they had the management OF affairs all diff
cuties would soon be settled. The printers,
the engineers-in fact all those organizations
of wOrkingmen which are common to both
