The Queens Birthday.

The ~ffty-sixth anniversary of the birth Of Her
Majesty Victoria, Queen of Great Britain and Ire
land. was celebrated in this city by the display Of
the aags of all nations on the shipping in port and
on numerous ~fagstafs on shore by a salute at
noon from the U. S. S. Lacka5anna by a diplo-|
matte reception at the residence of the British
Commissioner by a less formal and unofficial one
at the office of the British Vice Consul, IT. 81. Da-.
yies, ESQ., : and in the evening by the annual
NEE y and banquet Of st. Georges Benevolent
Society, at the rooms of the British Club. The
reports of the Secretary and Treasurer of the So
ciety show its condition as fairly prosperous, and
that it is doing its quota of good in the community.
The officers of last year were all reelected. After
the business meeting, some fifty gentlemen sat
down to a handsome spread of solids and fluids, of
which former - the roast beef of old England :" of
course formed the piece de resistance. The follow
ing regular toasts were proposed by the Chairman,
Major J. H. Wodehouse, "a. B. Ms Commits
sioner,) and drank with appropriate honOrs.
/. The Queen. With song, God Save the
Queen" and three cheers.
2. King Kalakaua. soag-" Hawaii Ponoi."
8. The British Navy. Song" There is a Flag"
Responded to In fitting terms by Commander
Hare, of H. B. N. s. Myrmidon.
4. The Navy of the United States. In proposing
this sentiment. the Chairman took occasion to thank
Capt. Greer. of the U.S.S. Lackalcdnna, in the name
of his Sovereign and his fellow countrymen, for
the kind courtesy of a national salute fred from
his ship at noon that day in honor Of the Queen.
The toast was duly honored, the company joining
heartily in the chorus of the song which followed
-sThe Red, White and Blue" Capt. Greer
briefly but appropriately returned thanks, and ex-
pressed himself as gratifed at having had the OPP
portuniiy Of ~testffying his respect. in common with
all his countrymen. for the noble Queen OF the
British Empire. The remainder of the evening
was most pleasantly passed in songs and social in
tercourse. The following are the officers of st.
Georges Benevolent Society for the ensuing year:

MISTAKEN DUTY.-We understand that on Satur-
day night, Lac: week a policeman (foreigner) So far
forgot his dAty, which he was probably sent there to
perform, Is to have challenged to single combat any
man at he dance. We believe the scene of the af-
fair was somewhere on Liliha Street, where, we are
given to understand, there are several dance halls
in active operation, some of which are not of the
most delectable character.

The OPIUM LAw.-The Attorney General has
brought forward an act to repeal the existing Opium
Law. This is what we saw was necessary from the
beginning; and we have more than once called atten-
ton to the oppressive nature of the existing law
and have indicated the necessity of better Legislation
in the matter, Since it has been strangely decided
to be constitutional, it will no doubt please all intelli-
gent people to see a repeal, as gross injustice to the
rights of individuals have more than once accom-
panied it's working.

A CoRRECTIoN.-We were in error last week in

that Of the Military. By an act Of 1874, the Office

doubt feels thankful.

Ho FOR THE TELEGRAPH Given the Treaty Of
Reciprocity, the Telegraph must follow. In an article
on the subject of telegraphy generally, the S. F.
Bulletin says d" The telegraph to the Islands would
have made the Hawaiian treay much easier of ac-
co~mplishment. When Kalakaua went to Washington
he almost conquered an impossibility. He made a
treaty O possible fact. Given, a telegraph wire to
his capital, the treaty would have been assured long
before this time"

INCoNsIsTENT.-A few weeks since the Gazettee in
making a severe onslaught on one Of our govern
ment officials, so far forget itself as to utter tie in
discriminate charge that rudeness was " Characters
tic of our government officials a rule, Hawai-
ian officials are as courteous as those of any other
government" is the opinion given on the same
subject, in the last issue of the same paper. What
weight do such random and conflicting assertions
carry with them?

BREAK DowN.-We understand that one of the
rollers of Mr.. Cornwell's mill at Waikapu gave out
last week, and Mr.. Cornwell himself came down with
it on the Ramoi to Honolulu TO have the breach re-
paired, which will not take long; and altogether the
accident will be of no serious moment, as the crop is
nearly off and the delay will be put short.
