EIECrIoNs.--The elections in South KOna. Hawaii,
and Waimea. Kauai took place as ordered. In the
former district. Mr.. Kamhuoba is returned by a
majority of two votes over his opponent, and at
Waimea, Nj. Kanai had a majority of SO. At the
latter election the people of Niihau did not vote,
and in reality the whole thing was again illegal
though it is very doubtful if any thing will be
| done about ii.
"USPouA CALI."-We have received q paper
with the above euphonious title. published at Rose
burg, Oregon. and edited by our old acquaintance,
Robert Newcomb. vino left here some two years
ago for the wilds of Oregon" to go to farming.
As he has relinguished the pillow for that sometimes
more effective implement the pen, we wish him
every success in the undertaking..
A KIND AcrIoN-One of our citizens received
a letter by the Nikado which had not been pre-
paid. aud which would not have come forward but
for the Thoughtful kindness of Mr.. Geo. F. Hopper,
Superintendent Foreign Department, New York
Post Office, who affixed the needed stamp and for
warded the letter. If we are correctly informed
| this is not the first instance of the kind. Mr.. Geo.
T. Hopper is q brother OF our entcrpflslng toWhs-
man j. A. Hopper.
GA CHIEL AMONG xE. TAKEN NoTEs-"-We had
the pleasure of meeting in our sanctum on Thurs
day, Mr.. Edward S. Baker. from San Francisco,
special correspondent and representing "The Re-
sources of California; "The Illustrated Christian
Weekly and The s. F.. Chronicle" He comes
to make a stay of a few weeks and to take notes of
our agricultural resources and capabilities. We
hone he will paint US in more favorable colors than
did the last correspondent of the Chronicle, who
saw everything and everybody through diseased
optics.
Who'll BRING THE TREATY THE probabilities
are that the Treaty was disposed of during the
first week of the present month. Mr.. M. r. Roberts,
owner of the bark n. b. Roberts, (now in port)
talks of coming to Honolulu in his yacht Auzelia,
between the steamers, but no definite day was set
for sailing. The fine schooner Bonanza, which
was purchased in San Francisco by Mr.. ]. II.
Black, formerly proprietor of this journal, was
expected to leave for Honolulu about the 18th.
Either of these may bring news OF the Treaty.
LoyGEvITY.-Since il has been denied by some
distinguished writers that there is any reliable
evidence to show that man ever exceeds one hum
dred years in the duration of life, attention has
been more carefully directed to the statistics and
facts in this regard. By the Concord IN. H. Mont
tor of the 10th of January we learn that there died
in New Hampshire during the last year, one person
aged los, two aged 100, one aged 80, two 9S, two
81, six 90, two s5, four "a, seven SO, six 90, five 81.
twelve 90 and there were living-one woman los
and six persons who completed their 100 years
during the year 1875. (
MOONLIGHT AND M~Usrc-Berger with his band
gave us another of those delicious musical treats
last Thursday evening. The " rolling moon" was
at the full, rising eclipsed however, which en-
BANGED the attractions of the evening. Why can't
we have more of these concerts on moonlight
nights? Say two or three every month. With the
gentle Cowper, we believe in music, and music
for the masses:
"There is in souls a sympathy with sounds,
And az the mind is pitch'd, the ear 10 plessd
With melting airs of martial, brisk or grave.
Some chord in unison with what we hear
