IT IS \ FACT to be regretted that our islands
have heretofore afforded Il very limited field for
what We may call efforts at success in life--for
the exercise of the abilities and energies of our
young men. And the consequence has been that
very many OF the sons of foreign parents born
here, instead of readily finding employment and
occupation and devoting the. lives to the devel-
opment of the land of their birth-that pleasant
land about which their early recollections must
always delight to .linger-they find their life
work and their homes abroad, as citizens of the
neighboring Great Republic. Some of our ISL
anders, it is satisfactory to know, have dis
tinguished themselves and won positions of trust
and honor in the land of their fathers, (such as
General S. G.. Armstrong; and others are z~eaIously
following their example. Among the latter we
may mention the name of Mr.. W. r. Castle, a
graduate of the law schools of Harvard and
Columbia College, (son of the Hon. s. n. Castle
Of this city, who for several years occupied
a desk in the office of Mr.. Evarts, the celebrated
New York advocate, and since then in the Office
of the corporation counsel where the extensive
legal business of the great metropolis is transacted.
II is no small need of praise for one in such a
position as that held By Mr.. Castle to find, as he
has recently done, that quite unsolicited, his
employers confer upon him a substantial proof of
their estimation of his services.
And yet We cannot forbear expressing the wish
that all this might be otherwise-that our young
men could here, after a sufficient training abroad,
find n field ample enough and diversified employ
ment to satisfy their ambitions. True, it is not
every young man of education who will be con-
tent to become a sugar planter or n merchant
and these, together with the profession of the
law, are about the only pursuits we have TO offer
our young men. But we are sanguine enough to
believe that in the near future the first two will
grow in importance and lucrativencss far beyond
anything experienced in the past and a thorough
lawyer may always succeed reasonably well here.
We know, moreover. that our Hawaiians abroad
(and very naturally too) look back with more or
less of longing to the sunny isles Of their birth,
and that whenever we shall be able to offer them
position or employment Il. moderate amount of
persuasion will induce them TO turn their faces
westward.

Sydney, ne learn that in the Legislative Assembly
of New South Wales, on the Goth of July, reso-
lutions were adopted by q vote of % to ?, APPROX
ing the action of the Government of the Colony
in accepting the contract for the "B" service,
rendered for by the Pacific Mail Company, for an
annual subsidy of .eS9, $50. This is the direct
service, with a branch line to the Fijis, and omits
Honolulu from the route, and, as stated on behalf
of the New South Wales Government, was chosen
& because it was the quickest and most direct
The Legislature of New Zealand had not yet
acted upon the contract, but would probably
follow the example of the other Colony. The
service is to be for eight years, and the rate of
speed eleven knots per hour, and not less than
FIVE vessels of not less than $500 tons gross
register are to be employed in the service, which
is to be iuaugurated by the first vessel leaving
San Francisco for Sydney in November. The
Sydney Morning Herald, of July 3Oth, says:
Yesterday afternoon, in committee of the Assem-
bly,, the Postmaster General brought forward the
motion, several times postponed, for approval Of the
contract entered into in London for the Pacific mail
service. The cause Of previous delay is understood
TO have been n difficulty as to the legal power of the
Pacific Mail Company TO enter jointly into the con-
tract. The difference between the motion submitted
and the motion which originally appeared on the
notice paper explains the mode in which that diff

approval was asked is not between the Government
Of New South Wales and New Zealand on the one
part, and the Pacific Mail Company, with Mr.. John
Elder, of Glasgow, and Mr.. Macgregor, OF Leith. on

WE HAVE been asked the question, What, ifany
provisions are made in the laws for appeals from
tax assessments? By section . of the act of 1860,
@ in relation to the assessment and collection Of
taxes" it is provided that { during the months
of September, October and November, the tax col
lector, upon receiving on deposit, costs or other
wise, as hereinafter provided, shall grant to any
person disputing the amount of his or her assess
ment, a certificate Of appeal [of the form annexed
to be furnished him in blank by the Minister of

AUGUST ..

Our CONTEMPORARY, the Gazette Of this week,
under the distracting influence Of it's fears that
we may lose the immensely valuable calls, once n
month, Of the ships Of the Australian line, goes
go far as to suggest, in two separate articles, the
grant of a subsidy to the line by this Government.
The idea is 50 preposterous and so opposed TO the
tenor Of public opinion here, that some might be
inclined 10 ask whether the Gazette has not itself
been subsidized to advocate the claims Of the p.
NJ. Co. Seriously though, it has been said in
our hearing, that our Government would have
been the gamer had they given the Australian
line say S25, 900 n year outright, and charged
them in full for all the privileges and accommo-
dations now granted free. But to cap the climax
Of extravagant luminosity, the Gazette urges the
State Of California 10 subsidize the line foE the
benefit Of the Hawaiian Islands, and says the
world would admire the example Admire is n
good word in the connection. After that, nil

A Ten Months Chase After Two Rob-
berS.

Last summer, says the Wichita (Kansas)
Beacon, a couple of nice-looking young
men landed in Wichita. They appeared
to have some money, and enjoyed them
selves hugely under the names of Frank
Reed and 10. Perry. After a time they
skipped out, and nothing further was
heard of them until last Monday, when
MIR. John Seaman, detective for the New
York Central and Hudson River railroads,
put in an appearance in search of money
on deposit in one of our banks to the cred
it of Perry. From Mr.. Seaman we learned
a few facts regarding these men. Perry s
real name is Isaac Ii. Baxter, and Reeds
George Vanvelser. The latter was en-
ployed as clerk in the railroad company's
Office at Poughkeepsie, and the former is a
carpenter. On the Sd of last May they
robbed the company's Office of package
containing some $50, 900. and left for parts
unknown. Mr.. Scanlan started in search
of the culpritS but never obtained any
positive clue as to their whereabouts I'M
ill short time since. He tracked them
to Wichita, where they appear to have
separated. He finally found Baxter at
| Denison keeping saloon and having in his
company woman he had picked up here,
by the name of Nettie Vanvalkenberg.
Baxter was shipped direct to New York,
and Mr.. Seaman started after Vanvelser.
Van was corralled at Denver, and like his
partner Immediately forwarded East.
The detective found S6,86S30 in money
on his person, besides iewelry. Baxter
had over $4,000 deposited in eight differ
ent banks, which Mr.. Seaman is now
gathering up. He will recover about
half the money, the lads having spent the
balance in having "good time " seeing
the world. Mr.. Seaman has wide repu-
tation as detective. and the persiStency
and patience with which he followed after
the thieves for over ten months shows
that he is deserving of all the credit he re-
ceiyes.

A Widow Believed to be a Witch.

From the Covington (Ga. Enterprise.
In the county of Newton, eight miles
from Covington, three families reside near
together. The first household consists OF
an old maid and her widowed mother; the
second ofhusband, wife, and two children
and the third of an old lady and son. Sc
strongly has the delusive idea implanted
itself in the minds of the two latter fami.
lies that the widow is a witch, and in
league with the devil, that they refuse to
allow her to visit or to borrow any thing
from their houses. They say she has
made witch balls from hair gathered from
the tail of tricky COW, which, if rubbed
against any article, will charm any one
who touches it. These people place horse
shoes over their beds and under their door
steps to kill the influence of the old wom-
ans charms. They verify believe that she
intends to witch the whole neighborhood
and bring some plague upon its inhabit.
ants. Silver bullets have been moulded
with which to shoot her in case she intrudes
upon the families at night by creeping
through the keyholes or coming down the
chimney. Silver dimes have been nailed
In the bottom of the churn and well buck
ct to prevent the witch from taking an
underhand advantage of her neighbors.
