The PUBLIC notice which has been issued from
the Office of the Minister of the Interior, that
the lease of the Hawaiian Hotel for FIVE years
would be sold at auction on the Both day of
August next, appears to US to be a transaction
which is well calculated to call for some
remarks upon our part.
The history of the Hawaiian Hotefis SO gen.
orally known that it seems superhuous to
enter into needless repetitions on the subject.
Suffice it to say that the Hawaiian Hotel was
built at the joint cost of government, and a
company of shareholders, more than five years
ago. 1t may be described as a patriotic under
taking in the promotion of which the actual
Minister of the Interior took q prominent and
very praise-Worthy part. The salubrious
climate and romantic scenery of these pic
tuesque Islands of Hawaii mel possess rare at
fractions for tourists from the neighboring
continent and travellers en- route from the Old
World to the colonies of Australia especially
since the increased facilities of steam communi-
cation have tended to make the sea trim 10
Honolulu so agreeable and comfortable. Under
these favorable circumstances q commodious
and pleasant Hotel became a grand desideratum
in this capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom, not
to say a matter of absolute necessity. This
view of the case urged itself go forcibly on the
attention of several leading members of the
community as well as of the government of that
day, that the present magnificent Hotel was
erected at a coast Of about one hundred And
fifty thousand dollars, of which the government
advanced a very large amount. Since the estab-
lishment was opened in 1872, Mere has been
one general expression of admiration from
all tourists who haEs visited Honolulu and re-
sided in this Hotel whether for q single day. or
weeks or months; and books Of travel as well as
the press in America, the Old World, and Austral-
la, have teemed with notices of the charming life
to be enjoyed in the elysium of the grand
Hotel of the Metropolis of romantic Hawaii
uei. The fact is that many strangers come here

He rushed from the store as he
spoke, leaving his informants in the
most unceremonious manner They
quietly proceeded homeword, con-
graduating each other that they had
evidently been the means of putting
down very giant Of iniquity.
Mr.. Wigley has an office on Broad

presence Of Mr.. Wigley, who smiled
and offered his hand to the other
Mr.. Pickleby, with every expression

Mr., WigIey looked at the speaker

Yes, sir, continued the excited
Pickleby. I know all and I am not
such a paltry coward as to suffer it to
pass with impunity +
Whereupon, before the other could
utter a word, he gave Mr.. Wigley
such blow on the head as to stagger
him not little, and before he could
recover lro:l his surprise, it was fol-
lowed by another blow on the other
side Of the head, which made his ears
ring in the most wonderful manner.
This was rather too much for the
good nature Of Mr.. Wigley, and so
nervel himself to the task and COM
mencel the retaliation. Being near

he soon had it his own way, and, to
be brief, in less than ten minutes Mr..

THE GOVERNMENT SEED STORE.-Ihe an
nual report of the Commissioner of Agri-
culture shows that there have been distrlb-
uted during the past year, ] 100000 packages
of seeds from the Department and, we may
add, at a cost to the Government OF a good
many thousands of dollars more than they
are worth to those receiving them. OF
course, this seed business Of the Department
has furnished employment to many persons +;
but how much better for the country it
would be If the rates Of postage on seeds
were put back to the old one Of half cent
per ounce, the Government seed store abol-
ished, and the money appropriated to it's
support handed over to the Post-OAice De-
partment, to make up any deficiency which
might follow in giving us cheap postage on
seeds. Men who nave sense enough to cul-
tivate plants, seldom have occasion to ask
the Department Of Agriculture to make Sc
~lections for them. The free distribution of
seeds by the Government has lone and is
doing more harm than good, besides costing
the country hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars.-Ruaul Nea0 Yorker.
