An ANCIENT OYSTER BED-A party OF excur-
sionists 10 the lagoon at Eva, on this island, re-
Gently found an immense deposit of oyster shells
embedded in the bank Of the lagoon. There was
one layer over another to the depth of several feet,
and above them q strata OF coral several feet thick,
which had evidently grown since the living oysters
had become defunct. The shells of these last were
those of the genuine bivalve, just such in size and
appearance as are to be seen in New York city,
and not to be found within the tropics. Query (:
Does this deposit of oyster shells belong to the
pliocene period, many, many ages ago, when a
great continent occupied the space now filed by
the Pacific Ocean. and the climate here was that OF
the temperate zone?

TUESDAY last, Oct. 10th, was the second anniver-
sary of the natal day of the little Princess Victoria,
only child of the Hon. Mr.. Cleghorn and his wife the
Princess Miriam Likelike, sister to His Majesty.
Accordingly the suspicious event was feted at the
residence of the little Princess's parents at Waikiki
with all the honors pleasing to that tender age.
Many happy children of our prominent native and
cess Victoria, and spent a very pleasant day-as the
little people said themselves-in the enjoyment Of
the little Princess right royal hospitality amidst
the picturesque palm-groyes Of Waikiki. Some big
people-parents and others-were necessarily present
on the interesting occasion, amongst whom were
noticeable the French Consul and Commissioner. the
officers Of the French war steamer Limier and I. S.
trainin gship Jamestown.

GUANo.-On the land at Eva, Oahu, recently

near the lagoon is mainly composed of a substance
which in appearance closely resembles the fer
tilizer obtained at the guano islands. 1t is being
analysed by DIR. StaDgenwald, and if it should be
found sufficiently charged with phosphate of lime,
will prove of immense value, not only to the owner
of the land but to the commerce of Honolulu.

note how business on the other islands is progressing
under the revivifying effects Of the Reciprocity
Treaty, he should occasionally take q stroll along the
Wharves. The ooasting feet is kept constantly on
the move, and instead Of going away in ballast as
was often the case formerly, the schooners are gene
rally loaded to their utmost capacity, frequently
being obliged to leave freight on the wharf. Lum-
Der, especially, and large quantities Of other sup
plies are constantly going forward to the plantations
that are already in operation and new ones that are
being established.

The Compromise Bill.

CHICAGO, Jan. %. - The Posts
Washington special says: The po-
sltions of parties on the compromise
bill are about as follows: The
Democrats nearly unanimously favor
its passage. The Republicans agree
to disagree. Two days debate will
be allowed in the House, when it will
be passed under the operation of the
previous question, no amendment
being allowed except by consent of
the jnnt committee. In the Senate,
where the previous question is not
operative, debate will be allowed to
run until exhausted. The indica-
tons this morning favor the passage
of the bill IN both Houses without
amendment. The bills opponents
say their full strength has not yet
been disclosed. On the other hand,
the friends Of the bill say the oppo-
sitlon IS like the celebrated Quaker
vote of Pennsylvania, never TO be
heard from. This mornings Balti-
more Sun and Washington Union
give it moderate support, while, as
hereto fore. The National Republican
and Chronicle are strongly against it.

PRESIDENT GRANT favors the Elec.

PRESIDENT GRANT favors the Elec-
toral bill. He said he considered it
a patriotic, statesmanlike, equitable
proposition for the adjustment of the
difficulties, and that no one would
welcome peaceful solution of the
Presidential question more than he.
He said he had noticed opposition to
the bill among extreme partisans on
both sides, but it did not appear to
HIM to be of such q character, or to
be sufficiently organized to secure its
defeat. He thinks the business of the
country would give such support to
the proposition and would speedily
make that support felt from all Sec
tons of the land, that it would be
impossible for even those who declare
their hostility to the scheme to vote
against it. He said if he had the
chance he should sign it cheerfully
and heartily.

How the Troops were Used.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-1n re-
Spouse to the call of the House the
President Yesterday sent the follow
ing message to that body; In South
Carolina and Florida and in Louis
lana, as well as in Mississippi, Ala
bama and and Georgia, troops of the
United States have been but sparing-
" used, and in no case so AS to inter-
fere with the full exercise of suffrage.
Very few troops were available for
the purpose of preventing or sup
pressing violence and intimidation in
the States above named. In no case
except that of South Carolina was
the number of soldiers in any State
increased in anticipation of the cleo
ton. No troops were stationed at
the voting places in Florida and
Louisiana respectively. A small num-
Der of soldiers in said States were sta
toned at such points in each State
as were threatened with violence,
where they might he available as q
posse for the officer whose duty it
was to preserve the peace and pre-
vent the intimidation of voters.
Such disposition of the troops
Sc emed to me reasonable, and justi-
fed by law and precedent. while
the omission would have been in
consistent with the constitutional
duty of the President of the United
States. to take care that the laws be
faithfully executed. The statute
expressly forbids the bringing Of
troops to the polls except where it
is necessary to keep the peace, i'm
plying that to keep the peace it may
be done. But this, even, so far as
1 am advised, has not in any case
been done. The stationing of a
company or part of company in
the vicinity where they would be
available to prevent riot, has been
the only use made Of troops
prior to and at the time of the
election where so stationed they
could be callad on in an emergency
requiring it by the Marshal or
Deputy Marshal as posse to aid
III suppressing unlawful violence.

The BILL regulating the sale Of
opium is likely to become a law.
The Chinese say it is an infringe
ment upon their rights, for they use
it in the same manner as Americans
use tobacco. But that this opium
vice is extending even among other
nationalities than the Chinese is
well known, and the sooner q de-
cided stop is put to the same SO
much the better will it be for the
morals of the people at large.
