I - The Hawaiian Mission Childrenfs Society,
viii meet this evening at the residence Of Mrs. c. a.
Castle on Young street.
STEAMER KILArEA sails for Maui and Kawaihae
on Thursday, August Il. and no, Wednesday. as
enormously printed in the timetable.
HooULU LAurI.-Capt. Kibling reports that q
baby was born on the schooner KamaiIe on the
last passage from Kauai. 1t must inevitably bear
the name of the vessel.
MDLL.E. CLAUS, who as a passenger by the Has
tTdliG is yet in quarantine. will We understand
make her appearance before the public at the Ha-
waiian Theater some time next week.
A QUARANTINE WHARF.-We beg 10 suggest that
q quarantine wharf at Koholaloa, near where the
present quarantine hospital stands, would be found
to be of eminent service in case of steamers arriving
with infectious disease on board. 1t would be the
surest way of securing isolation.
A CENTENNIAL DRISK.-Mr. ]. lies, from u recipe
received from Philadelphia, makes a bottled drink
which is exceedingly refreshing and ~palatable, and
which he calls " the centennial" It's ingredients
are white sugar. ginger, and some other wholesome
roots, and with q bit of ice, is inst the thing for
this hot weather.
Nor AcCEPTED.--On the day following The pas
sage by the Assembly of the resolution Of want of
confidence in the Board of Health, the gentlemen
composing that body sent their designations TO the
King. We learn that on Thursday last they re-
ceived a communication informing them that their
designations were not accepted by His Majesty.
SUDDEN DEATH.-One OF the bandsmen died sud
denly last Tuesday evening, under circumstances
that appeared to require an examination. A post
norton was accordingly held at the request of.
Marshal Parke, and Drs. McKibbin and Hutchin-
son reported that the man died from congestion of
the lungs. While this was undoubtedly true, the
evidence ELECTED the fact that death was FASTENED
by intemperance.
4 MARINE ALGF.-J. E. Chamberlain, Esq, has
placed upon our table some dozen cards on which
are very neatly mounted specimens of sea-mosses
native to these islands. They are singularly beau
tiful, showing that the wonders of marine vegetation
are as worthy of the study of the naturalist as those
of the land. We advise a visit to Mr.. Chamberlain's
curious and elaborate cabinet.
"A SOUND REAsON.-The other day in the Assem-
bly, one of the honorable members was urging the
appointment of a district Justice for Kaanapali,
near Lahaina. why said he, " sometimes a dis
pute arises between two persons, and they start
for Lahaina to have a lawsuit. but the road is so
long that they make up the quarrel on the way,
and so the government loses the costs of court,
which otherwise would be paid if there was only a
judge at Kaanapali!"
HARD TIMEs.-A Hawaiian on a visit 10 the
States says "a part of the American world is
going these days to the Centennial, buI how large
a part will not go at all and how great a proper
ton of those who go will give ii some very Insult
dcient time-two or three days only Times areN
felt to be very hard here--such has been the COIN
plant ever since we came, and 1t grows no better
but worse, and thousands of people who ought to
be well-to-do, will make their economy by not go-I
ing to Philadelphia"
MERGING OFFICEs.-While the appropriation bill
was under discussion, the Hon. Mr.. Preston sug-
gested that the Road Supervisor of Oahu. the
Clerk of the Market, the Superintendent of Water
Works, and the Superintendent of Public Works. |
might all be merged in one Office, with a saving Of ]
expense and an Improvement to the public services
The Attorney General thereupon stated that he
proposed TO introduce a bill merging the Offices of
Sheriff and Road Supervisor throughout the king
dom. This is one of the changes which the ADvER-
User recommended long ago.
BASE BALL--On Saturday afternoon last another
match game of base ball between the Athlete and
Star Clubs took place upon the Kulaokahua plains,
in which the latter came off for the second time
victorious, the score being II to ii runs. Up to
the seventh innings the Athletes took the lead by
several runs and, but for an unusually opportune
by J. NJ. Dat, which sent three men home,
they had a very fair prospect of maintaining the
ground they had gained. The Athlete Club is GER
tainly not in as good trim as formerly and it
would perhaps have been more prudent for them
