A CURIOUS RoMANcE.--Norfolk street

curious commemorative monument. An OBJ
servant spectator will note that the FIRST fool
windows OF large house at the corner Of
Howard street presents peculiar appearance.
The shutters arc up, and they are covered
thickly with dust, while through the chinks
can be seen the blinds, also thick with dust,
and moldering away with age.
Those shutters and blinds have'been in ex
actly the same position, untouched, for about
fifty years. During that time no human foot,
it is believed, has entered that room. And
the reason is this : Fifty years ago certain
nobleman was engaged to be married the
day was fixed, the wedding morning arrived,
the breakfast was laid out in that spacious
and handsome room, the bridegroom was
ready to proceed to church, when 1t was dis
covered that the bride was missing IA note in
her handwriting was found, addressed to the
bridegroom, briefly informed him that she
had eloped that morning with his ''best man, ,
gay and gallant captain of dragons.
Tilted bridegroom did not say much but
he went alone to the room i'll which the we'd
ding breakfast was laid out, with his own
bands put up the shutters and drew the blinds,
licked the door. and took the key. He gave
orders that the door should be nailed up and
barred with padlocked bars, and that no one
should enter the room again.
When the house was let, it was stipulated
that the room in question should remain un-
touched, and sum of e200 per anuum was
paid to the tenant to compensate him for the
deprivation of the room. The nobleman has
been dead some years, but it is believed the
room has never been entered since he closed
it,aud there are the wedding meats . mould
ering silently y,and the ornaments crumb-
ling into dust in the funeral gloom.

every one of them, the seeds of q fatal con-

Save me from my Friends !

Has been the cry of many an unfortunate sufferer;
but never had any one more reason to send forth
from anguish-torn heart this cry of despair, than
this people, the remnant of q large population that
once inhabited Hawaii nei. Save us from our
friends they cry; and who indeed should be our
friends If not those whom we 50 confidently choose to
be our representatives And what have they done
for US, we ask, after wasting one hundred days and
over SIo,UOU OF our money In the Legislature
Instead Of helping US, instead Of drawing us back
from the black gulf into which fate threatens to
whelm the last remnant of our race, instead Of put
ting up barriers and guards to shield us from e-
~tinction, they are trying with reckless hand to tear
down the slender safeguards which former and much
wiser Legislatures had erected for our safety. Is
this their friendship: Then indeed we may cry in
despair, save us from our friends. They try to abol-
ish the law known as the act to mitigate, the good,
beneficial and saving effects of which, while in force.

fourth of the sum already expended for talking in
the Legislature, to keep in leash those hounds that
in their greed for misery and death would scour
every valley, every nook upon the ~seashore, every
mountain slope, as in former days when people were
decomposed before the grave covered them, would
rather see the last of their race die in misery than
abate one iota from their conceited wisdom.
Our friends? In connection with their effort to
abolish the law to mitigate they also exert them
selves to revive again the universal practice of ka-
hunas, those ignorant charIatans, those silent muir
derers that have, more than smallpox, measles and
every other disease that man is heir to, built the

FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Is the sum voted by the Assembly for the
sc encouragement of agriculture and immigra-
tion." A similar amount was appropriated by
the Legislature of 1874 for the same purpose.
We all know what became of that large sum,
and what benefit agriculture and immigration
received from it. The question is now, what
benefit will the amount again appropriated
nominally for this object, bring to the country,
and what does the government understand By
the word GO immigration -? 40 judge from past
experience, immigration has been understood to
mean the importation of a sufficient number
of laborers to meet the pressing demands of
agriculturists, at whatever cost, and regardless
of any consequent injury to the Hawaiian race |;
and thus the word immigration as it
appears in the budget is merely q blind, q
net spread to catch another round fifty thousand
dollars of the peoples money. The people,
who are willing to spend large sums out of
their slender purse for what may be called
the highest interests of the country-agriculture
and immigration-are unwilling to see their
money wasted in the introduction of simply
male laborers for the plantations (Which should
alone be at the expense1 and particularly are
they unwilling to pay $25 per head for any
more Chinese. immigration, as the people
understand it, means the introduction into the
country of families, who will make thaen 'si~ndo
their nome, ana by their labor and industry
deyelope and increase the resources of the
country families that by their home-life and
moral example shall exert a beneficial influence
upon the civilization of the country, and by
their increase help to repopulate the group.
This is the view which the people take of
and which causes them to regard
with appreciation the appropriation of $50, 900
for that purpose.
But all former appropriations for this object
as well have been thrown into the sea,
so far as any good to the country has resulted.
The introduction of South Sea Islanders has
been tried, and found to be an absolute failure.
The introduction of Chinese has proved to be

The CONCLUSION Of our business at Washing
ton affords ground for the expectation that
Chief Justice Allen may return to the islands
by the September steamer, and that once more
the country will be in possession of a Constitu-
tional Supreme Court with a full bench.
While We have and do appreciate fully the
valuable services the Chief Justice has rendered
as Minister Pienipotentiary, the public have
never ceased to remember that the bench was
not full, whereby the legal rights Of the people
were not in every respect fully assured.

Now THAT the treaty is indeed an accom-
plished fact, will the Ministry give the country
some tangible assurance that they have a
policy, and that they know how to carry it
out? Or will they be like the man who bought
an elephant, which he was bothered to know
how to utilize? Let US hope that the former
will be the case, and that they will prove
themselves worthy recipients and wise users of
the blessings with which Providence and Uncle
Sam have crowned Hawaii nei.
