Two of the parties arrested ut Stan
wood Friday evening on suspicion of
having been concerned in the bur
glaries were kept in Jail till Tuesday.
There were many indications that
they belonged to the gang Of thieves,
but no sufficient evidence could be ad-
duced. A company of some dozen
vagabond gypsies were also arrested,
but search developing nothing, they
were released. The height of their
ambition no doubt would be a chicken
coop.

soME Of our citizens are doing a rood

SOME Of our citizens are doing good
work by smoothly moving the streets
adjoining their premises. Why not
make this general-calling to the
work, if need be, the force ofthe Street
Commissioner with moving machine
or two? About two years Of such
weed-cutting would give US nice grass
and clover in place of the uncomfort-
able and disfiguring growth of May
weed.
And this reform Is one that can be
very easily extended to the country.
By little joint effort the mass OF
rank weeds which in most of our
roads at this time of year brush both
sides of a vehicle on the narrow track
and stand three or four feet high from
that track to the fence on either side,
could be slashed down by mowers,
and in short time completely routed.
Reads would then dry off quicker,
look 1000 per cent. better and be
much more safe and convenient.

The author of a new work on the - Origin and

Lang, D. D.-arrives at the following conclusion {:
that the Polynesians or South Sea Islanders are of
Asiatic origin and Malay race, that there is a belt
of ocean in the Pacific. in which it is quite as
practicable at certain seasons to sail to the east
ward, az to the westward. and that America has
first been reached by Polynesians, who are identi-
cal with the Indo-Americans as the same people.

FAR OFF FIELDS OF EMIGRATION.

The "hybrid " of the Gazette which did
{" howl at us, for suggesting to look for some
Maori laborers, with their wives and children,
from New Zealand, where they are very likely to
be got, would no doubt " bark like mad at a
proposal to seek for emigrants from the realm of
the Mikado. Yet, in Australia, an attempt has
been made of the sort, as appears from the fol-
lowing paragrap of the Witness -
"Mr. Wilton Hack, missionary to Japan, has
returned to South Australia. HIS efforts to
obtain a supply of japanese immigrants for the
Northern Territory were frustrated by the action
of the authorities of Japan"
We think that Lord Normandy is likely to be
more favorable to our scheme of the Maoris than
the Mikado to Mr.. Hacks project. Our Minis
ter of the Interior should I" AK " his Lordship.
Only think of the poor Australians going to
Japan for laborers for their Northern Territory.
Of course, when such - valuable Colonists - as
the bumptious whiteman of the Gazette leave
them in the lurch, they are glad to fall back
upon japanese, or the Man in the Moon, to
supply the loss!
If people want to know where girls may be
had for the asking. we commend them to the
GuOranis, of Paraguay, where the women are ten
to one, against the men. They cultivate sugar
cane and grow mandioca, a variety of the tarO.
They are an excellent native race of South Am
erica, still speaking their own language, but
quite civilized and christianized according to the
Romanist rite, like the expected Madeira Island
ers, who are even farther off and a shipload of
nice girls-say 100, with a few married couples,
could easily be embarked at Asuncion, on the
Paraguay, which is there navigable for full rig
ged ships of the deepest draught afoat,-and
thus brought round the Horn to these Isles.
Some photographers think that the Guaranis
came over the Pacific to the west coast of South
America, and were subsequently driven eastward
by an invasion Of Kichuans or Old Peruvians
from the North. What says the learned For
nander? Some of the names of their towns on
the Parana are highly suggestive of the Hawai-
ian tongue-as, for instance, Ha-pua, Ka-Aba-fe,
Na-za-imgo, &c. They are as badly off for men in
Paraguay, as we are for women.

MUTUAL RELIEF ASSOCIATIONS.

Humboldt Bay, in 1872, whose object is fully

We have to report a quiet week on the whole, and have
heard several complaints of the excessive dizziness for this season
of the year; particularly in thedry goods trade Notwithstand-
ing the murmurings that reach US, we see activity IN the
various trades Of the city that were never before equalied, and
as we have always maintained, this is an unfailing indication
that times are not dull

splendid run Of seven days and nine hours from San Francisco,
bringing a large passenger list and considerable freight for this

an interest in the commercial prosperity Of the country and a
desire to disseminate information. We regret to say that

To tie Editor Of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser (:
DEAR Sin The report published in the s Lahui
HdLcGii" q short time ago, concerning the death
by starvation, of . man named Ehu, residing here
in kona, 10 literally true. The fasts concerning his
death, as near as L can learn them, are as follows.
Ehu, the deceased, wa q very aged and decrepit
man {; his body was bent to nearly q horizontal posi-
ton, and he was consequently so weak and feeble,
as to be unable to plant q sufficient quantity Of food
for his own consumption. Though surrounded by
many relatiVes,-sueh as grandchildren, great
grandchildren and other relatives, yet he was said
to be so peevish and mistrustful Of others, and often
so petulant, that the most of his relatives forsook
him still there was one or two Of his relatives who
extended to him their hospitality, but he was SO dis
trustful Of their intentions, (believing they wished
to put him out of the way, in order to possess his
property, which consisted of q tract of land con-
tanning between one and 200 acres,) that be
refused their assistance, prefering to live alone by
himself. While living thus, he was driven by
hunger to o small potato patch which he had planted
near the road that leads to Keauhou, and about 2
miles distant from that place after having dug
three or four potatoes, he was overcome by weak
ness, and either fell, or laid himself on the ground,
and remained in that condition., until discovered
by q female equestrian, who was passing in the
road, and who asked him what he was doing there?
he rcplied,-thath he was nearly dead with hunger,
and had been trying to dig some potatoes,-but
was too weak and feeble to do so. The female in
question, Immediately went for assistance, and the
old man was conveyed to his house. This was late
in the afternoon, and he died the following night.
The weather here in Kona, was very dry and
sultry for two weeks prior to the 10th inst since
which time we have been favored by o few, not
only cooling-but very needful showers of rain.
The whole coast Of Kona is at this writing, Whitened
by . heavy surf, there being q heavy swell heaving
from the westward and the coasting vessels.-of
which there are several now on this coast, find, no
doubt, q considerable amount of trouble in d~ischsrg-
ing and taking in freight. Native prognosticators
say that . heavy surf on this coast is the harbinger
Of heavy rains, or bad weather Of some sort we
shall therefore be obliged to look for stormy times
anon. Yours very truly, OBsERvAToR.

GEOGRAPHY OF THE PACIFIC.-The ignorance
that prevails in various quarters as to the situation
on the surface of the globe of the Hawaiian Islands,
is calculated, in the long run, to greatly reduce
our feelings of sef-consequence. Here is an instance
in illustration. Somebody in London mailed o
letter to o business house here addressed " Homo
lulu, Oahu, .Australia.'' 1t went to Australia in
due course Of mail, whence the intelligent post
master sent it back. redirected to q" Honolulu, Oahu,
america" The San Francisco Post Officers were
better informed, and so the letter at last reached
its destination, after having travelled some 10000
miles more than was needed.

such institution might be very usefully estab-
lished in this country.
Since the foregoing remarks were written our
attention has been called to a recent scheme
adopted by the " knights of Pythias,' for the
establishment of an ~ Endowment Rank :" in
order to secure to tho families of the deceased
members of the said Rank a certain sum of
money, to be paid by the Supreme Lodge of the
Order, according to the provisions of the scheme.
The Endowment Rank will comprise two
classes, and the heirs of a member of both
classes will be paid 5000 if of the first class
alone, 81, 900 and Of the second class alone
$4,000. The admission fee is three dollars, and
on the death of q member, an assessment of
$l,25 is made on each member, payable within
thirty days. This is a very good plan to provide
for ones family, one, two or three thousand dol
lars, upon the demise of their bread winner. 1t
entities the Order of the Knights of Pythias to
rank amongst the philanthropic Mutual Relief
Institutions of the world.
