Nh. EpTroR In = social gathering q, which /
was present quite recently, the conversation turned
upon the low standard Of morals. particularly as to
the marital relations, which is still evident among
many OF the native population; and the remarks q
one gentleman struck me as being 50 just and peril
nent that l made notes Of them at the time. he
said, in substance THAT the condition Of things
that had been referred 10 was by no means . matter
for surprise when al the circumstances we're taken
into consideration. The characteristics Of the native
are very much those Of a child; he IS initiative in the
extreme. and looks up to the foreigner for examples
as TO theory or practice, and more particularly the
latter, He sees that with the foreigner the matter Of
morals IS to a very great extent merely theoretical.
not by any means strictly practical. He sees men
who are VIGOROUSLY but quietly immoral, and yet
who, to quote the words of a recent sermon. with
the faint of moral leprosy upon them, are received
unquestionably by fathers of families to associate
with their wives and daughters Il is useless to
preach to that native about the Importance Of a high
moral standard and the sanctity Of virtue. To quote
again, (this time from an ancient author) Though
the words of the wise be as nails fastened by the
masters of assemblies, yet sure their examples are
the hammer to drive them in 10 take the deeper hold.

BILLS OF LApISG.-A case recently tried in the
Bombay Courts, and mentioned in the Celestial
Empire, shows how careful shippers and consignees
should be in having their bills of lading signed BY
the captain of the ressel. In the case in question,
though the bill of lading was signed, as is customary,
by shippers clerk holding full authority from the
Captain, the court non-suited the consignee, who
sued for damages done to cargo, because the bill Of
lading vas not signed by the Captain. As the same
custom Of signing by clerks instead of Captains pre-
walls here, we would call the attention of shippers
and consignees to this case. as it is fair to presume
that the same GAUGE would non-suit in all British
and, perhaps, California courts.
The foregoing paragraph, clipped from q recent
California paper, is worthy the attention of business
uen here, as well as there.

A HANDSOME TEsTINoNIAL-On Thursday evening
last, on behalf of the members of Honolulu Chapter
No. /, of Royal Arch Masons, there was presented to
Companion George c.. Mclean, a magnifcently en-
crossed and Illuminated copy of resolutions of thanks
for services performed by Mr.. Mclean ever since the
first institution of the Chapter. The whole is a work
of art the equal of which has never before been seen
here, and reflects great credit on the skill and painstak-
ing labor of Mr.. Henry Giles of this city. The fol-
lowing descriptive explanation, which we are per-
mitted to use, will afford a partial key to the ideas
embodied in the various devices and symbols repre-
scented. "In the centre of the top border, we will
suppose the facade of a temple, upon which is in
scribed the motto, Holiness to the Lord The ped
iment is supported by three columns, the Ionic,
Doric and Corinthian, which are symbolical, in the
language of Masonry, with Wisdom, Strength and
Beauty. Surmounting the whole is a group Of figures
representative of Peace, Science and Art. In the
arched recesses are two a~llegOrical groups; that to
the left being Wisdom, Strength and Beauty, and
the other Prudence, Justice and Fortitude. In the
left hand corner is represented Jacobs Dream
and upon the three principal rounds of the ladder is
inscribed, Faith, Hope and Charity. The right hand
corner contains a fountain, indicative of temperance,
with two figures, Plenty and Liberty, the latter hold
ing a banner on which is written Add to your faith
temperance a triangle in the middle bearing the
inscription, Love, Purity, Fidelity In the centre
of the left hand border is an alcove with a figure of
Justice blindfolded, with naked sword; and on the
other side a figure of Hope leaning on an anchor,
looking forward into futurity. The left hand bottom
corner is not inappropriately filed in with the grand
cornerstone of Masonry, the Bible. The right hand
corner is both key and cornerstone. The centre
piece in the bottom is INTENDED to represent one of
the principal tenets of the brotherhood, Charity, by a
sketch Of the Good Samaritan. On either side is the
Mosaic pavement, indented tessel and blazing star.
The small medallions on each side contain devices
and symbols which will be understood by every
Mason. The triangle and balances the tablets the
book of Constitutions guarded by the Tyler's sword;
the level; the apron; the 47th problem Of Euclid the
square and compassess the beehive; the pot of incense;
the ark the clasped hands; and the hour glass. No
one but the ~practiced eye can realize the amount of
labor expended upon this work"

The PENSACOLA arrived at Hilo on Monday
the 18th instant. Admiral Almy and officers were
very handsomely received by Governor Kipi and
the people of HiIo. They were taken from the
ship to the shore in double canoes, with paddlers
singing and dressed in ancient style. The inevita-
BILE feast and llcu was furnished with lavish hospi-
tally, the grounds being decorated with noticed
arches and emblems in evergreen and flowers, and
gay with Gags. Subsequently the volcano was
visited by a large party of the ships officers. The

CORPUS CHRIsTI.-This festival of the Roman
Catholic Church was observed on Thursday last by
the usual procession Of the clergy and laity around
the square formed by Fort, School, Emma and Bere-
tania streets. In this connection we may state that
We heard complaints both Loud and deep of the rough
and Vandal-like manner in which some one, in pre-
pairing the way for the procession, had hacked of the
branches of shade trees, particularly on Emma street.
The owners Of premises who have taken pains to
plant and care for trees bordering on the street, are
naturally indignant at such lawless and g will you,

Sarah Pierce of Springfield, was taught by her
father, who was a shoemaker, to make women's
and ehildren's slippers. Six years ago she married
aud went to Kansas with her husband, who had
considerable property there. The man became
dissipated, lost all his property, and was finally
sent to an asylum incurably insane. And now
comes the moral. The woman, having a good
trade, went to work at it, and for a year past has
supported herself and two children and saved
money enough to pay q quarter of q value Of
q comfortable house that she purchased on credit.

WEIGHTS AND NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 37S to $50 Of
the Civil Code make provision for the standards Of
weights and measures which shall be lawful, with
fees for trying the same under direction Of the Gov
ernors of islands, and a penalty for selling goods,
etc., by weights and measures that have not been
duly sealed. Some years since a thorough examina-
ton in this respect was made of the selling and buy
ing apparatus in the shops and stores of this city,

IMMIGRANTs ARRIyED-The Norwegian bark RUik,
which arrived on Thursday morning, brought ia
Chinese passengers. These are free immigrants, who
come under no contracts to labor, but ready to en-
gage in anything of an industrial nature that may
offer. They are mostly young and bealthy-looking
men, (there are five women in the party) and it is
understood that the majority are rice farmers, to
which pursuit they will direct their attention.

CoURAGEous-The act of the foreign police
officer Bartholomew, who stopped the runaway car
riage and horses in King Street last Saturday after
noon, may truly be characterized as courageous.
The frightened horses were running at full speed
upon a level grade, the light vehicle behind them
~swaying and tearing like a boat towing in a chop
sea. The officer headed the team as it came dash
ing up the street. Them bracing himself to meet
the shock, he sliced both the horses by their
brides as they met him aud forced them, by sheer
muscular strength, back upon their launches to a
stand still.f There are not many men who have
either the nerve to attempt such a feat or physical
power to accomplish lts He said, however, when
the affair was over gu saw two women and a
baby in the carriage in danger of death and l sup
pose that helped me a little"
Yesterday, Mrs. j. S. McGrew-the lady whose
horses were running away-called on policeman
Bartholomew, and presented him with a very hand
some rosewood cane, as a taken of her gratitude
and appreciation of his act.

ALCoHoL-The report comes to us that natives
have lately been known to get drunk on alcohol,
obtained from drug-stores. We do not entertain the
belief that the proprietors of such stores would per-
init the traffic in alcohol for drinking purposes, but
it is pretty evident that the article is somehow OBJ
tanned.

\ SAD AccIDENT.-Last Sunday, at about 4 p. m,
the clipper ship MarialR5 Notte6ohm, from San
Francisco for this port was about ten miles off Coco
Head, running before a stiff breeze. and the crew
were engaged in getting an anchor over the bow.
The third officer, Alexander Campbell, was prying
up the hue of the anchor with a capstanbar, when
it slipped and its weight coming down upon the
bar threw Campbell high in air and overheard.
Captain Whitney Immediately ran aft and threw a
~life-buoy over, and as the ship came to the wind
the man (who was a good %wimmer) was seen to
have secured the buoy. A boat was lowered within
ten minutes of the accident, but seeing that she
had not taken the right direction to find the man,
another boat was lowered for the search. Singu-
larly however, neither boat found him, one return
ing at dark and the other at one o'clock the next
morning. 1t is possible that the unfortunate man
was taken down by a shark. He was a native of
Paisley, Scotland, and about Is years of age.
