only, gave indication yesterday of its vigor and en-
terprise by coming out with eight pages. thus doub-
ling itself in one stretch of its journalistic limbs
And Notwithstanding this precociOus growth, the
matter of the number before US, in point of quality,
appears to keep pace with the growth. We expect to
see it coming out as a daily, next.
LES- In an eloquent aud vigorously worded
article in the Lahui Hacaii of Thursday, on the
Increase of distillation and drunkenness among the
natives, the writer says" and with sorrow and
establishment we are compelled to acknowledge
that up to this day, we have never seen or so much
as heard of any real effort put forth by the authori-
ties to arrest the progress of this destroying enemy"
BURGLARY.-Tke Fountain ;" Restaurant was
burglariously entered on Wednesday night last. for
the second time within two months. On the first
occasion a music box was stolen; on the second a
box of cigars. a thief of peculiar and perhaps
refined tastes, we might guess, who scorns mincc
pies and luxuriates on music and manilas. But
how about the Police? x
tOvERCRowDED-The Cyphrenes on her arrival
from the Colonies was full of passengers, no room
having been reserved for any that might desire to
go from Honolulu. Added to the fact that we can
send little or no freight by the steamers, somebody
asks, chi bono ? 4" Man never is, but to be blessed"
says the poet, and let US continue to hope that
some day or other a style of boats will be put on
that. like those of the Webb line, will be of some
real benefit TO island passengers and island traffic.
Z 4 LEAK-The steamer KilQuea which sailed at
5 p. IN. on Monday for windward ports, returned
at I O'Clock, on account Of 4 leak in one Of her
boilers. After discharging some coal, the leak was
found and mended, and the steamer proceeded on
her voyage on Tuesday. Having in previous issues
enlarged on the necessity that is apparent for pro-
riding a new inter-island steamer, and which is
now and is likely again to be brought forcibly to
the attention of the public, we will only remark
here that-the old Kilaued has long and nobly
done duty.

when the sight of a carriage was a rare thing in
Honolulu. Now, however, they are numerous, and
the demand is for a superior article. We inspected
one just finished at the repository Of Mr.. G.. West,
King street, during this week, which is quite new
in design and suited expressly to the wants of the
country. In point of finish, it excels any imported
carriage. The particulars in which this carriage
recommends itself to our appreciation, are-it is
sold fifty per cent. cheaper than any similar article
can be imported for it will carry four persons
comfortably, and yet is as light as an ordinary
buggy for two it is as strong as the best steel and
hickory can make it it is so arranged that it may
be all open in good weather, with protection from
the sun, and in stormy weather no rain can reach
the occupants it is beautifully and fsshionably
