and give much satisfaction. Tonight a number
of new acts will be introduced. The funny Mr..
Braham will appear again as clown.

STILL BErTER.-We recently mentioned the re-
ceipt of some very fine plant cane from the plan
tation of Mr.. McColgan, on Molokai, Since then
we have seen a specimen Of rattoons, six months
old, from the same place, which measured eight
feet in length and nine inches In circumference !
Any other plantation is at liberty to beat this.
McColgan's plantation is virgin soil. and he has
some 800 acres available for cane-a handsome
thing ahead.
ADVANCE HAwAH.-Tbe schooner Prince which
arrived from Kau, Hawaii, one day this week,
brought a full cargo of sugar, the greater portion
of which was grown by native planters in that
district and manufactured for them by Mr..
Hutchinson, of Naalehu. The Ldhui HdlDaii
native paper. of this week, speaks encouragingly
OF the proposed sugar enterprise at Kalibi near
Honolulu, and says that a meeting will shortly
be called of the native landholders in the vicinity,
for the purpose Of combining to plant cane.
THE New STEAMER ,recently launched in San
Francisco and intended to take the place of the
faithful old KiLdued in the interisland trade,
would probably be ready to leave for Honolulu
about the LIST of August. The San Francisco
papers have been profuse in their jokes and With
cisms in regard to the sound of the name which she
bears-the Liketibe. This name, though it is that
of an honored c~hiefess, and a sister of the King,
is we opine, a temporary one given for the pur-
pose of clearing from port, and we think that the
name will be announced on her arrival
here.
STRAIGHT STREETs.-These we cannot get in Ho-
noluln without great expense, which cannot be
afforded at present. But at the corner OF Fort and
Hotel streets, where q. Brewer & Co. are about
erecting q brick block, we note that there has been
a question about strengthening Hotel street, which
was admitted to a jury by the Minister of the In
terror and settled as is supposed to the satisfaction
of all concerned. While on this subject, we would
suggest that the present is a good opportunity and
the best that ever will occur to open and widen
Alakea street below Queen street, We shall refer
to this subject again,
MAGIC CREAM. N. Ingram, of magic cream
renown, after making a tour of Hawaii, visiting
the volcano the water falls of Hilo ; the beauti-
full valley of Waipio the great plains of Waimea
and Kau the coffee groves of Kona and Capt.
Cooks monument at Kealakekua Bay witnessing
the sun rise from the top of Haleakala, 10000 feet
up in the air visiting the romantic valley of lao;
DC. DC, has again appeared at Honolulu, with bis
I" magic cream" But he takes the next steamer
for Australia and leaving out the b~enighted South
Sea Islands will stop over at Auckland to rejuvan-
ate the New Zealanders with his "Kilauea Water"
Z" magic cream" no longer. Mr.. A. McWayne,
Druggist, is agent at these Islands for this really
useful compound,
OTHER FIELDS OF EMdRATIoN.-While the Agent
of this government ia in New Zealand, on the busi-
-..Iz.-- ct O.. f.-lo-. -.
for this Kingdom, it occurs to us that perhaps it
would be easy to get a number Of the Maori natives
of New Zealand to come over here and settle down
with their wives and families. We may remark
that the late chief, the Hon. William Hospili Kaau-
wal, Who accompanied Queen Emma to England,
subsequently, went to New Zealand. and was nego-
tiating with Pamare, the Maori King, 10 establish q
settlement of Maoris in Hawaii nei-but the plan
was not then carried out. The HaWaiians we sup
pose would receive with pleasure a detachment of
their Maori sc COUSINS and we think that several
Maoris, with wives and families would readily con-
sent to come to these Islands.
Music BIZ THE BAND.-Everybody is agreeably |
and delighted to observe the eztraor-
binary degree of proficiency and skill toL~bich
our Band Of musicians has arrived under the brief
renewed leadership of Berger. We can only
guess at the amount Of careful drill that must have
been bestowed in order to produce such really
music, from the beat artists, with which we
have been favored Of late. Surely our Band is
an institution to be proud of, and we hereby beg
TO suggest that 1t and its director deserve a more
substantial testimonial Of public appreciation
than mere words. Aside from the amusement, So
called of music we believe it has a higher end.
Says a thoughtful writer-"M Music begins where
words aud mental images cease" But, says an
" there is a state of consciousness, with or
simultaneous verbal thinking, in which we
realize great moments of existence, as being
created with souls and this state OF conscious
has its clear and powerful language. Who
deny that the grand opening motive OF four
notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony is not as
great a reality to our consciousness as the face Of
friend, the sight Of the sea. or a purely mathe-
NAUTICAL conceptionf Music" says
Schopenhaur, "does not express this or that
single and definite JOY, grief, pain, horror, triumph,
or merriment, but Joy itself. and every emotion
itself, in some degree abstraetly, yet chiefly with
any accessories, and without depending on
the motive, OF cause Of the emotion expressed"
