IA A correspondent, who requests US to copy
from Scribners Magazine, the article found on
our fourth page, accompanies his request with
the following strong language: THE just re-
mark in the Commercial Adcertiser OF June 90,
in an introduction to some extracts from the n.
Y. Nation, that it was not sensational publica-
ton but the utterer of SOBER solid truths on the
immensely important evils of the horrid liquor
traffic, leads me to request you to copy from Serb
ner's monthly, the equally candid and pertinent
remarks referred to. The fact is, the traffic in
liquor is the great CURSE of the age and the
sweeping tide of destruction it is causing, not
alone in the United States and in England, but
here at the Hawaiian Islands, should arouse the
united action Of every thinking man to abolish it
utterly from the Kingdom. The time is not far
distant when the remark of the Nation will be
regarded as properly applicable to every man
who sells intoxicating drinks, under whatever
name as of moral character so low, that they
are justly charged with "endangering the future
character and usefulness of the rising genera
ton" In other words, as corrupters of public
morals TO such degree as to be public enemies.
There are many young men in Honolulu, and
some not so young, upon whom ruinous effects
of intoxicating drinks have become so apparent
to every one but themselves, that it cannot be
denied. Now, many Of these men feel that they
are in no danger Of becoming drunkards. Let
them honestly test themselves, on this point, and
entirely abstain for a month, from all intoxicat-
ing drinks, and the honest effort may reveal to
them the power which the habit has upon them
Drunkards all came from the class of moderate
drinkers -

"CALDEw" or "ALIcE THoRNDIKE REEF."-
The steamship Tartar reports (see shipping memo
randa,) having been ashore on a reef located, as
found by Capt Ferries accurate observation, in
north latitude 6 "a, and west longitude l62' %
This is none other than "Caldew Reef" first re-
ported by the ship Caldew (lS45, or thereabouts,
and some years afterwards QS5S or q by Captain
Kingsley of the ship Alice Thorndike which carried
a cargo OF oil from this port for New Bedford. Capt
Kingsley stopped and surveyed the shoal, which
found to extend thirty miles in northeast and
southwesterly direction, and is seven miles in
breadth. 1t is submarine atol with from fifteen
to seventeen feet of water on the reef and lagoon
with deep water inside. The position given by
Capt Kingsley was latitude G. % north, and longi-
tude 1922 90 west So that the observations of Capt
Ferries and Capt. Kingsley, while they confirm each
other, show that they were taken twenty-five miles
apart. Palmyra Island lies a few miles south of
this reef in latitude 5 So, longitude 1862 80. In
fact Caldew Reef may be considered simply part of
a submarine chain of reefs and islands in this vi.
entity. The reef nowhere reaches the surface, but
has an opening with seven fathoms on the west or
southwest side. 1t was through this channel that
the Tartar escaped, after having plowed her way
through the soft coral, of which it is composed,
though it took Captain Ferries a day or more to
fnd an egress. Captain Daniel Smith, who has
supplied us with some of these data, says that an
easterly or "counter current" sets from latitude
8 to z north, nearly all the year round, some
times quite strong while north and south of
this narrow belt the current always sets TO the
westward One of Webb's steamers, the Ne
braska we believe. is said to have touched on
this reef, and also the steamer Macgrcgor ON her
first and only voyage up this way. She simply
touched once and passed on, everybody on board
thinking the shock arose from submarine earth.
quake. Captains of sailing vessels and steamers
cannot be too careful, in passing through the Pal
myra and Fannings Islands chain, TO give these
reefs wide berth of at least one degree of longi

An EvENr-which occurs hut once in a lifetime,
must serve as an apology for intruding personal
matters into our paper. During nearly quarter
century of our connection with the press in this
city, many have been the kind words of cheer and
substantial tokens received from the lips of friends
and the hands Of an indulgeut public Far greater
than our deserts have been these frequent and warm
evidences OF good will toward Us. But it was not
until Wednesday evening last that we were com
pleiely overwhelmed and struck dumb with aston
ishment. On the evening Of that day-the twenty
fifth anniversary Of event that has scattered nun
berless joys along the path of our journey through
life-ss we returned home from the weekly lecture,
we were filed with amazement at finding our resi-
deuce brilliantly lit up, aud literally swarmng like
a beehive. Only as we entered the door did we,
for the first time realize that had been made the
victim Of a stupendous surprise" Not only did
bright eyes, happy faces and cheerful voices meet us
every turn, but beautiful presents were displayed,
and a table was spread as with magican's wand,
with all that the most dainty could ask for. Aside
from these tangible evidences, the guests brought
treasures more precious than silver and gold-the
genial outfowng of heartfelt friendships Such
demonstration is enough to nerve any one to renew
cd activity for ife's duties We ought not TO omit
noticing especially the beautiful silver tokens pre-
scented by the employees of the GAZETTE Office, and
an elegant pitcher from nine young ladies of Mrs.
WIS Sunday School class. None shall be more
highly priced than these tokens of genuine friend
ship. How the projectors of this affair, which must
have taken time to plan and execute, managed to
keep it secret that not the first whisper reached
our ears, ever ready TO CLEAN every passing item of
news is more than we can divine. For once our
friends stole march us, and we caught nap
ping. To one and all who took part in this most
happy surprise, we tender our sincere thanks and
lasting gratitude.

CHICAGO, November 6.-The Tribune
this morning gives the complexion Of the
next Legislature as follows: Senate,
Republicans 25; Democrats, %; 1nde-
pendents, 3. House-RepublicanS, 81;
Democrats, "a; Independents, %.
The Inter- Ocean says: 1T seems likely
that the Opposition, Independents and
Retormers combined will have majority
of one in the State Senate. Two Of the
districts, from which no returns have
been received. are doubtful and may
have elected Republicans, III which case
the majority will be Republican,
Returns from two-thirds of the Legis-
lativc districts show the net loss of the
Republicans to be- eleven in the lower
House, but it is probable that they will
retain a,majority in this branch and also
a majority on JOINT ballot, shoulda joint
session at any time become necessary. So
far it appears probable that Ridgeway.
Republican, is elected State Treasurer,
and Etter, Democrat, Superintendent Of
Public Instruction.

"Do angels hy like birds?' This is
question which may have been much dis

how anybody can feel a deep personal
