Benefits of the Treaty.

1t is stated that one of the results of the Hawai-
ian Treaty has been q great appreciation Of value
On the Islands, and of q large increase Of trade be-
tween the Government Of Hawaii and the United
States: The area of land for the production Of
sugar and rice is being extended, and it is expect
ed that the next sugar crop will exceed the prev
ious yield by at least twenty-five per cent. A still
larger increase in the rice crop will be obtained,
and the planters are confident of releasing their
property from debt in a year or two, and placing
Hitherto a large portion Of the crops has been sent
less than in American ports, but since the duties
have been entirely removed here the whole yield
of the Islands will End a market on the Pacific
Coast. The exports Of lumber, hardware, -four,
ETC., from San Francisco to Honolulu have nearly
trebled in the last month in consequence Of the
extension of plantations, which necessitates the
building OF storehouses, crushing mills, etc, the
purchase OF new machinery and other articles that
have in times past been obtained from England
and Germany. In view Of this state of Affairs the
Hawaiian Government has appropriated a subsidy
for carrying the foreign mails, and negotiations
are pending that will probably result in the estab-
lisbment Of a direct line of steamers, between San
Francisco and Honolulu, by the Pacific Mail Com
pany. 1t is expected also that such notifications
of the Australian mail contract will be made as TO
require but three steamers on that line instead Of
FIVE, and reduce the time Of passage. This will
allow the placing OF two steamers between San
Francisco and Honolulu, running once a month,
between the Australian steamers that will continue
to touch at the Sandwich Islauds=Sdn Jose MeT-
curry.

1t is asserted that q full impression Of q human foot
has been found in sandstone in Connecticut, side by
side with the prehistoric bird tracks. The genuine
ness of the track is doubted, as the track anpears
dern manufacture. Per contra, q Spanish Mexican
coin, dated ITO, is said to have been found imbed-
ded in a solid rock taken from the bed Of the Rio
Grande river. The stone is described as very hard,
and almost transparent.
The salmon product of the Columbia river, Ore
gon, including not only the fish shipped. but also
those consumed by the fishermen themselves, will
this year reach the immense total Of 40, 000, 900
pounds. The salmon are either sailed and packed
in barrels or canned fresh. In the latter form ii is
in great demand in all parts Of the world. and hun
dreds OF thousands Of cases, containing each four
dozen cans, which latter weigh q pound and a quarter
apiece, are annually put up. Of these England alone
takes 165, 900 New Zealand, 2,400; South America,
1900; Australia, $4,000; New York and the Allan
tic coast, $1,000. The value Of the canned salmon
Of the Columbia river is esteemed at go, 900, 900 an
nually.
The last London story is that a scheme is on foot
for reviying the Byzantine Empire under the ruler
ship Of his Royal Higness the Duke Of Edinburg. Z

to secure the order for the crowns regnant and mat
rimonial Of the future head of the Lower Empire and
his imperial spouse the Grand Duchess Marie. Mr..

Capt. J. h. Black, which arrived on Saturday even
ing, made the passage from San Francisco Ia
twelve days. The bark "A. ". Alay, was also
twelve days on the passage. but the course Of the

SCHOOL ENTERTAINMENT AT WAiLUKU.-An stten-
tive correspondent at East Maui writes us that at
the annual entertainment of the English School in
the thriving town Of Wailuku, which took place on
the % December, a large audience was present, and
the exercises went of extremely well. The per-
formances of the children reflected much praise on
the teachers, Mr.. w. A. Swan, master, and Miss c.
Thompson, mistress, the boys giving good evidence
Of careful, conscientious training. The proceedings
were enlivened by some clever tricks of legerdemAin
kindly performed by a friend, and which created
much amusement. A few part songs were sweeily
sung by the girls, accompanied on the harmonium
blythe Rev. ]. Bridger. The distribution Of some
useful prizes to the children, who had earned them
during the year, brought the pleasant evening to
o close.

CANvAssISG THE VoTE.-The second Monday in
February is the day fixed by law on which the
President Of the Senate will open the certificates
and read the returns which have been made out and
forwarded to Washington. The latest phase Of the
election shows that Hayes will have 1856 electoral
votes and Tilden 1874. Should no question be raised
beyond this point, Hayes will be the next President.
But in view of alleged frauds in South Carolina,
Florida, Louisiana and. Oregon. there is every pro-
liability that Congress will go behind the returns
and enquire into the elections in those states. Which,
ever side may gain the government in this contest,
it must be done fairly. Neither party can afford 10
take the control Of public affairs on any other terms,
for it would prove its ruin as a political organization.
Nor will there be any disturbance, much less q civil
war. The temper Of the American people will not
allow it, however partisan newspapers may buster.

SUDDEN DEATHs.-Recenlly there has been two
deaths of well-known Hawaiians, and both quite
sudden. V. F. Kailiuli, a captain in the police

Saturday last. J Kalanikahua, formerly a store
keeper on Fort street, died like one going to sleep
after a hearty dinner on New Years day.

All the walters in London cafes and
dining saloons pay SO much per day for
their posts. This seems strange to
Americans, but they soon find the Sc
cret. You order what you want, and
after eating ask for the bill, which will
be so much, and if you don't give some
thing to the waiter you will have very
cool reception the next time you enter.
If you look around you will see some
body paying the bin and giving coppers
or a sixpence to the waiter, and this is
the only pay heigets; but some of them
make as much as six or seven pounds
per week. Thus every servant in the
land is taught to hold out his hand if he
only answers question The railway
people are disgusting obsequious in this
respect! AT the Station two or three of
the servants run to meet you, ask your
destination; one snatches your satchel,
puts you in the carriage, tips his cap and
holds out his hand, on the sly thought

How Safes are Robbed.

Safe-burglars no longer use tools in
plying their nefarious avOcatiOn, but re-
sort to the. use of the powerful explo-
sives which modern science has brought
into existence. These explosives are in
troduced through the almost impercep-
tible cracks or joints of safe by pc
erlliar means, which is described below,
and the doors forced open by cOneus-
sion. Last year the Long Island Bank
was entered through the cellar walls
from an adjoining house, and the bur-
glars worked with chiseIs on the door of
the safe, until they had to give it up for
want of time They were bungling bur-
glars, who did not understand the re-
cent improvements pertaining to their
business. They should have inserted
giant powderin the cracks; this would
have blown open the door at once.
yaThe New York Herald thus describes
confession made to the Court, before
which he was arraigned, by professional
.'eraeksman, in a successful case OF
safe -blowinga He said: 1--WE hired a
basement adjoining the bank, giving it
out that we wanted it for asaloOn. On
the tenth day after we had every thing
in readiness, and on the night following
we cut hole through the wall into the
basement of the bank building, and then
dug our way through the ceiling to where
the safe was. At this point the bank
watehman came upon us, but and an
other of the gang quickly bound and
gagged him. We then blew open the
Safe y /" What tools did you use in drill
inc the holes?" asked the reporter.
d" Good cracksmen don't use tools, an
swered the burglar. "I'll show you
how to blow open any safe in New York
without tools Just take me to a safe"
There HAPPENED to be a safe in the
Judges private room, and the reporter
acquainted the magistrate with thep ris-
oner's proposal. by all MEANS" said
the Judge, /" let us learn y and in mo-
ment the room was filed with specta-
tors. The prisoner knelt beside the safe,
which was locked. g Look at this door,"
said he; at fits so tightly that no in
strument canf.be inserted. So far so
good. The burglar he continued,
s.siniply sticks putty all along the cracks
except in two places, one at the top OF
the door and one at the bottom, where
he leaves about an inch of space uneoy-
cred by the putty. At the lower place
he puts quantity Of powder Cor nitro
glycerine) and he sucks out the air from
the upper place. either by suction
pump, which is the better way, or with
his mouth. The vacuum created in the
safe draws in the explosive through the
small crack below The entire work
