PuxAHou, July 10, 1877


To The Editor ofthe Pacific Commercial Advertiser:
DEAR SIR An article appeared in the local COL
umns of your paper of the last issue, July 10Th,
headed Thomas Square, stating "that there
had been a crop Of corn taken Oh, and now there was
a fine crop Of weeds, but no frees.' Now in justice
to myself, as I am the one most nearly concerned in
the matter, I deem i: but right for you to publish my
staten ent. If the writer Of the article in question
had been q little more careful in making inquiries,
and in collecting facts, he never would have made 20
reckless a statement as that there are no trees. Ifhe
will take the trouble to call On me, 1 shall be most
happy to convince him, and prove TO him. and show
him if necessary, that there are several hundIed
Algaroba trees 10 the +" Square" ranging ia ,sight
from two to four feet, grown from seed planted by
myself, and furnished by a gentleman Of this city,
(from a fine tree growing in bis garden.) The seed
was planted in the months Of November and Deem
Der Of last winter, and it is not to be expected that
trees will grow to an extraordinary height in the
short space Of eight months; and the foliage Of the
Algaroba tree is thin, especially while the tree is young,
so that the tree would require 10 be Of some consid-
cradle size befcre it could be seen at a disrince. In
regard TO the 81 fine crop Of weeds II would say
that they we're left there purposely, TO protect the
young trees from the fierce, direct rays Of the summer
sun, and the strong drying trade-winds taat sweep
with such force over the plains in that vicinity at
this time of the year. And experience has demon
strated that trees grown in that manner, will do re-
markedly well. For iostance, the numerous trees
along the Waikiki road, and between King and Bere-
tania streets. L would recommend that before the
winter rains set in, the ground be cleared Of weeds. 4
as the young trees are nearly in a condition now, to
take care of themselves; and have the water laid on
in pipes, and on the commencement Of the winter

valuable trees, which will not grow without the aid
of water; and make the "Park" a beautiful place
of resort for the overworked denizens of the metro-
polls. Yours truly, n

which Hawaiian agriculture offers to the roots OF n
growing crop. Not one root in q thousand goes be-
low the tillage depth, either on account Of the soliiity
of the subsoil or on account Of the sour-and where
iron largely preysils,-the acid composition Of the
soil. Look at any spot in a field where heavy rains
have washed the titled soil away from thesubsoil, and
you will find the roots like a network spread upon
the subsoil. Now here is an instrument, the subsoil
pillow, leaving under the ground . small drain. giving
a comparatively unlimited scope 70. the roots Of the
sugar-cane to forage. and by admitting a free circu-
lation of the atmosphere to a depth of from 25 to 80
inches into the soil, chemical processes are called
forth in those subterranean laboratories by which
some of the richest and most valuable manures are
afforded to the growing plant.
For the benefit Of the agricultural interests Of the
islands, and al a time when rapid extension Of sugar
culture must be crippled on account of want Of laberJ
I most sincerely hope that some Of our enlightened
planters win be induced to adopt the subsoil pillow, as
q most necessary farm implement in the cultivation Of
cane, being assured Of an increase in the crop Of from
Is to 20 per cent, without any increase Of labor Or

TREE PLANT1NG.-Says an authority on this sub
ject "Many persons. having no experience to the
contrary, are accustomed to use manure in setting
out trees. Judging from analogy, it would seem
that the practice must be beneficial, but the very re-
verse is the fact. We have repeatedly known great
numbers of young locusts and NAPLES to be killed
by applying manure in planting them. If manure
is to be applied at all, it should be upon the surface
of the soil after the tree is planted. No immediate
effect will be evident, but after the next rainy sen
son, the benefit of this surface application will be
preceptible."

N ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE.-Last Tuesday q native man
manned Mauiloa, living on Maunakea street, shut
himself up in his house and hung himself to q rafter.
A little girl playing in the yard, peeped through a
crack and seeing the man dangling in mid air, gave
an alarm, when the door was burst open by the
~neighbors and tt man cut down. A few minutes
more and it would have been too late. On recover
fling consciousness, he gave no reason for the act. By
the law Of England. it is a criminal offense to attempt
suicide, and it should be here.

TYPHOID FEvER.-We have no intention of assum-
ing the role Of the alarmist, but it is quite true that
of late years during the summer months there is
more or less prevalent in this city a fever that, if it
is not the real typhus, resembles it very much. Foul
odors and malaria are, we believe, conceded by med
ical men to be the generating causes of these fevers.
Hereford we have made it q point, from year to year
about this season, to bring to the attention of the
authorities the danger to the health of the city which
must inevitably follow the long continued existence
of such pest-breeding deposits of filth as abound~iu
our midst. We speak particularly Of the more COM
pact and business portion of the city.

THE ECCALYPrUs IN SOUTHERN CALIFoRNIA.-The
Guadalupe Telegraph OF June 9Th says: In our
comparatively treeless country, the eucalyptus is
an unfailing bonanza. A few mail forests of blue
gum. judiciously planted. would soon supply us
with much of the timber which is now shipped
from a distance at great expense. And although
the tree is such a rapid grower, the timber, though
soft, is exceedingly tough aud durable. Ewes if it
we're not adapted to such a variety of uses, it
would pay for the room it occupies and the trou-
BILE of planting, merely for fuel, when the scanty
supply that lines our mountain canons is exhaust
ed. The blue gum will be scarcely less valuable
to California than the mines in a few years, If
planted in sufficient quantities, and the discovery
of the adapsability of our climate to its growth
was one of the most fortunate that has been made
for us"

TwEED's CAsE-TheN New York Court of Appeals,
the highest judicial tribunal in the State, has deeid-
ed that the Court Of Oyer and Terminer exceeded
is authority in sentencing Boss Tweed to cumulative
punishment by pronounoing separate judgments on
separate counts of the same indictment. The fact
involved in this decision is that Tweed was sentenced
to one years imprisonment on each of twelve counts
of one and the same indictment. The Court of APP
peals holds that the Court below exhausted its
powers in sentencing the Boss to one year, aud that
the sentence of twelve years was illegal. The cOnse-
quence is that Tweed. having served out his term Of
one year under the FIRST count Of the indictment, is
now discharged. Thus, by the aid of law, as inter-
preted by the Court of Appeals. the Boss of the ring
has received but an Insignificant portion of the pun
ishment which justice prescribed.
