Since the propagation of the last Legislative

Commerce with His Majesty the Emperor of Austria
and Apostolic King Of Hungary, and it only awaits
final ratification by the Emperor,
1 have also concluded a Special Convention of
Reciprocity with the United States Of America,
from which great advantage to the Commerce of
both countries is confidently anticipated. I am daily
expecting to learn that the final Legislative enact
ment has passed the United States Congress, which
win be necessary to give effect to this Convention.
The report of the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court will call your attention to some amendments
in the laws which seem to be required, and to which
sou will no doubt give Decentralization.
1 must again call your earnest attention to meas
Vres which may have a beneficial influence in in
creasing the Hawaiian race, and in preserving the
people. You will be careful that no legislation be
neglected which may conduce towards this end.

will be remembered also that His Majesty calls cur
attention to the important subject Of preserving our

Of a memorial that was lately made public. He
therefore begged to suggest that the House defer ae-

An EXCITING RACE.-Those who watched the
.Murray's arrival of the port were treated to q sight
not bargained for. According to arrangement, the
news boat followed the pilot Immediately, so as to
board her on the hosting of the health flag without
detention; but in the effort to get in before dark, the
bark did not stop longer than was necessary to take
the pilot; the news boat therefore had to hoist sail
and chase her, not catching up till of the bell buoy.
The stern chase in this case proved a long one, and
was enjoyed as much by those on board as on shore.

BOAT RACEs.-Yesterday afternoon a large crowd

ned from the U. s. s. Ldckdlrdnnd and II. b. Ms

against the native boat-boys and their boats. At
3 o'clock P. NJ. the English and Native boat started
together; but the English installing the goal, re-
turned too soon, and lost their race, although, ahead
all the way. Upon the arrival of the first two
boats the American and Native then started; but
the race resulted in the complete victory of the

y NEW BRIDGE-The road Supervisor seems at
last to have walked up to the danger to peoples
lives from bad roads and rotten bridges. The
whole extent of Beretania street from the bridge
on Punchbowl street, to the waikiki corner. has at
last (for once in the memory Of men living been
rebuilt, and is now a finer road than any in the
city. In addition to this. extensive and much
needed Improvement, a new bridge has been built
at the junction of the waikiki road and King street,
which is a great Improvement on the rotten piece
of architecture, which has always been a danger

way.

Y A CONTRAsT-His Elk, j. NJ. Kapena deserves
credit as being the first to propose that each mem
Der of the Legislative Assembly be supplied dur
ing their session with a copy of each newspaper
published here; and the assembly itself by their
ready acquiescence in the proposal, have eyinced
a spirit OF appreciation of the value OF PERIODICAL
literature, differing from the parsimony of the AS
sembly of 1874, who for alleged economy, refused
a like proposition. Their after lavishness in vot-
ing large appropriations. along with a million loan
bill is a discrepancy, however, only in keeping
with many other OF their distinguishing acts.

A Fiendish Plot.

An old couple named Ada m s.
Wostphal and wife lived in a rural
Twp, Rock Island county, Ill. The
gentleman is quite wealthy aud had
concealed in his house about sl2 ,000
in money. A nephew of Mr.. West
phal's knew this, and formed q plot
to rob and murder the old folks.
The Nephew, Edward Westphai with
bis son, q man named Brown, and a
Chicago desperate named Kerns,
proceeded tn old Westphal's house
at midnight. Ths news Of his in~
tended crime had been impaired to
officers in Rock Island, and the city
Marshal and three officers concealed
themselves in the house. The burg.
lars boldly entered the house, and
then ensned desperate fight be
tween the robbers aud the officers.
The Marshal was struck on the head
and an officer was shot in the arm.
Kerns had both arms broken and the
others were more or less hurt. All
the robbers were arrested. The plot
was to enter tho house, chloroform
the old people, obtain tho money, and
then set fro to tho house, that it
might appear that Mr.. and Mrs.
Westphal had died in the flames, and
suspicion OF foul play be thus divert
ed. That they fully intended to car
ry out this plot was shown by their
having a bottle OF chloroform and q
can OF kerosense with them.

First and Second Roney.Monn.

The real honeymoon is not always
u delightful moment, This, viii ch
sounds like herosy to tho romantic,
and like blasphemy to the young, is
n Fact which great many people
acknowledge readily enough wnen
they have gone beyond tho stage
ut which it sounds like an ol'anao TO
tho wife or to the husband who is
supposed to have made that period
capturous. Tho 'naw pair have not
the easy acquaintance with each 9th
or which makes tho happinea6 of
close companionship. Perhaps they
have not that sympathy with each
others tastes which is almost a bet
ter practical tie than simply love
They are half afraid Of each other.
They arc making discoveries every
dry, of new points in each others
characters delightful OF unlolight-
fal, as may be--which bewider their
first conhlenca of union and the
more mind and feeling there is be-
tween them, the moro likely is this
to bo tha case. Tho shallow aud
superficial "get on better than
those who have Il great deal of ex.
colienco or tonder depth of senti~
ment to be found out. But after
the pair have como to full acquain-
tance, after thoy have learned each
other from a B 9 up. to tho most
difficult chapter, after the ipter-
course Of ordinary life has borno its
fruit, there is nothing in the world
30 delightful as the honey incoming
which has passed, by years, the To-
gitimate period of the honeysmoon
Sometimes one soes respectable faith
