A FUTURE of fair promise unfolds itself before
the eyes of the rising generation of Hawaii mel.
But here, as elsewhere, success must depend
upon the e~xertions of the people themselves.
The Reciprocity Treaty has secured for the sugar
industry of the islands a favored position, which
cannot fail to enrich those embarked in that
misunderstanding, of course, the difficulties of
the labor question, which are quite sure to be
shortly removed. The sugar business alone pre-
sents excellent opportunities to the young men
of the country to find useful and profitable em7
ployment. Heretofore q complaint has ofte1
been made that there was no opening here foR
young men born in the country, especially for
those born of white parents, or of mixed race.
The custom has prevailed, to a considerable ex-
tent, of sending the young folks to the States, or
elsewhere, for their education in the first place,
and frequently for the object of subsequently
having them settled into some business, away
from the land of their birth. Now, this is very
unfayorable to this country, which is thus de-
prived of the talents and industry of many q
worthy son or daughter. A century has now
almost rolled away, since the first discovery of
these Islands by the white man, and for more
than half a century, the religion of christ
ianity has been preached here. The time has
60 me when it is right to enforce, as far as posi-
bic, the great national principle: Hawaii pei
for the Hawaiians. Both from a social and a
religious point of view the natives of these
Islands are now adequate to the task OF admin

We are indebted to the courtesy of Captain
Lovegrove, of the Tahitian bark Ionid for
q copy of the Messenger de Tahiti, dated June
29th. From its columns, we translate the fol-
lowing items OF news On the morning of June
9th. about 6 o'clock, a report was spread through

which appeared to be completely deserted and
without any signs of a crew OH board. The
commander OF the French war cruiser proceeded
TO the locality, and after great efforts succeeded
in towing the wreck into the port of Papeete.
On a part of the wreck the letters ADA we're
dfstinguishable and on another place-DALE.
The conclusion arrived at was that this was the
wreck of the '' Ada IFsdale" from the port of
Liverpool, with a cargo of Goals, which caught

Iiged to quit the vessel on the 18th of the same

Hivaoa. in the Marquesas group, on the 9th
November, after having passed &c days in their
boats, and gone over 500 leagues, The traces
of the fire were still visible on the wreck. The

THE INCIDENT of the naval engagement between
the two British war steamers, Shah ana 'dHe"yS'
and the Peruvian ram Huascar, has given rise 10
various comments in the press. We believe that we
were right in stating that the reason why Admiral
D'Orsey undertook to attack the Peruvian RAM
was. because the Huascar had committed piraticai
acts on vessels under the British nag. had ENG
been in the hands of the lawful government OF Peru'
at the time, the duty Of the Admiral would have
been to have left the business of calling upon the
Peruvian government for satisfaction to other British
authorities. But, inasmuch as the Huasedr was
actually in possession of men who had raised the
standard of rebellion on the high seas against the
Peruvian government, it is plain that the Admiral
was bound by his instructions to rank her asa pirate
from the moment that she committed an aggression
ON vessels under the British fag-and to act accord
ipely. In this instance fortune favored Pierola'
who was on board, and perhaps 1t was owing to the
fact that the Huascar carried " Cesar and his
fortunes that she got of 30 well. From press
reports it appears that the Peruvian government
have declared that they are indignant Mt the
Admiral's conduct, and that they will call on the
British government for explanations. 1t is even
reported that the Admiral was advised by the
British Consul Mt Callao not 10 enter that port, as
the forts would fire upon his ship. This is surpris-
ing, when, in fact, the Peruvian government was
indebted to the action of the British war steamers
for the recovery OF the HuascdT and surrender Of
Pierola, the rebel CaudHiO.

On Saturday morning the regular fall
fogging took place at New Castle, in
the prison yard, in the presence of
about $50 persons, who STOOD in the
driving northeastern rain curiously
looking on the prisoners as they were
brought from the jail. The first per-
sons that were brought forth were Will
lam Barry and William Cosden, col
ored, who were put in the pillory for
one hour Dennis Mcclure, who broke
open and robbed Il freight car on the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Railroad, was the first who was led to
the whipping-post. The blows were
administered light, and the prisoner did
not seem to suffer much. j. M. Broad
way, colored, charged with the larceny
of pair of boots, stood his fiogging
very well, although at the beginning he
showed little uneasiness. The blows
were light. John Parker, colored,
charged with breaking into the house
of j. Higgins, in Brandywine Hundred,
received his twenty with much ease, al
though they were well laid on. Sewell
Starkey, for stealing brace and bit,
received light blows. The last person
to be logged was William Barry, who
is a desperate character and threatened
to kill Mr.. Benjamin f. Herdman, the
warden, if he got chance. This pris-
oner has been in thirty-six different
prisons. This prisoner, when his hour
had expired, was taken from the pill
lory, and, throwing off his coat with in
difference, walked up to the post and
received a severe tlogging. At the first
blow, which was a sharp one, he drew
his body up from pain and turned his
face upon the Sheriff, but he became
firm and throughout the rest of his
whipping never flinched - UIlnington

Mark Twain's First Impressions Of Ber-
muda.

THERE was an ample pier of heavy
masonry; upon this, under shelter, were
some thousands of barrels containing
that product which has carried the fame
of Bermuda to many lands, the potato.
With here and there an onion. That
last sentence is facetious; for they grow

potato. The onion is the JOY and pride
of Bermuda. 1t is her jewel, her gem

When parallel with the pier, and ten
or fifteen steps outside it, we anchored.
1t was Sunday, bright and sunny. The
groups upon the pier-men, youths and
boys-were whites and blacks in about
equal proportion. All were well and
neatly dressed, many of them nattily, Il
few of them very stylishly One would
have to travel far before he would find
another town of 10000 inhabitants that
could represent itself so respectfully, in
the matter of clothes, on a freight pier
without generalization or effort. The
women and young girls, black and
white, who occasionally passed by were
nicely clad, and many were elegantly
and fashionably so. The men did not
affect summer clothing much, but the
girls and women did, and their white
garments were good to look at, after so
many months of familiarity with somber
colors.
Around one isolated potato barrel
stood four young gentlemen, two black,
two white, becomingly dressed, each
with the head of u slender cane pressed
against his teeth, and each with foot
propped on the barrel. Another young
gentleman came up, looked longingly
at the barrel, but saw no rest for his
foot there, and turned pensively away
to seek another barrel. He wandered
here and there, but without result. No
body sat upon barrel, as is the custom
of the idle in other lands; yet all the
isolated barrels were humanity occupied.
Whosoever had foot to spare put it
on barrel, if all the places on it were
not already taken. The habits of all
peoples are determined by their circum-
stances. The Bermudians lean upon
barrels because of the scarcity of lamp
posts.
Many citizens came on board and
spoke eagerly to the officers-inquiring
about the Turco-Russian war news, |
supposed. However, by listening judi
ciously, found that this was not So

summoned to fetch the editor. The
publisher went upstairs and returned
speedily with a large pair of scissors,
saying: Here, sir, is the editor"
The officer was rather disconnected,
but soon recovered himself, and eX-
claimed more sternly than ever: "NO
nonsense! fetch me the sub-editor.'
Again the publisher departed, and again
returned, this time with pot of paste
and brush. "These, SIR he said,
