The NEW CENETERY.-The ancient burial place
at Kawaiahao having become oFerpopsadted
with the silent tenants Of the tomb, by direction
of the Minister of the Interior a new. cemetery has
recently been laid out on the S. E. slope OF Punch
bowl. The ground, which has been enclosed by a
neat paling fence, has sufficient slope
to carry on the. rains, is some seven acres in ex-
tent, and the situation affords a beautiful view Of
the plains, Waikiki and the ocean beyond. The
custody Of the cemetery is in the hands Of Capt.
j. II. Brown, Agent of the Board Of Health, and
no burial can take place there without the produc-
ton OF a regulation certificate from the agent, each
grave being numbered and a register OF full par
ticulars kept of each interment. A 6ne growth Of
manienie grass already covers the ground within
the enclosure, and it is the intention shortly to set
out lines Of trees along the avenues.
CONTINUATION OF KING sTREET-A petition, ex-
tensively signed by taxpayers Of this district, was
recently presented to the Minister of the Interior,
asking that King-Street be continued out to Ka-
piolani Park. Accordingly a jury of six was
selected, who on the 9th instant made o written re-
port to the Minister, in which they give ii as their
opinion that the proposed new road is not advisable,
on the ground of expense, and recommending that
instead thereof, Beretania Street be continued out
in the direction of the telegraph station and 30 on
makai to the Park. We do not learn that the jury
gave any data on which they based their opinion of
the expense of the proposed road against which they
report but we have heard from parties protesting
to be acquainted with the Beretania Street route,
that the expense of making a decent carriage road
in that direction would be large. We suggest that
the question might be advantageously discussed in
print.

A SUBMARINE ExCURsIoN-One day during the
past week we had a novel experience, having des-
cended about four fathoms through "the salt
sea waves " to near the bottom of Honolulu
harbor, and after remaining there some moments,
arrived again at the surface all right and none
the worse for the excursion. No, we didn't fall
overheard we simply went down by ladder into
the huge box attached by Tibbitts and Sorenson,
shipwrights, to the stern of the ship Heeyord, for
the purpose of repairing her keel and sternpost,
injured by touching on the reef at one of the
guano islands. The box is a " big thing" most
substantially built, and in plan and application
displays no small degree of mechanical skill and
ingenuity. The ship is more than half loaded,
and the strain on the box to lift her stern some
two feet must be tremendous. Twenty three
feet from the surface of the water we placed our
hand under the keel of the huge ship, while the car
penters were doing their work as well and secure
iy as though she were in a dry dock. But for
the ingenious eontrivanee of the box it would be
necessary in order to properly repair this ship,
to discharge her cargo and heave her ont. involV-
ing much expense and delay. As it ia she viii
bes ready during the coming week to proceed on
her voyage.

The STORY of the strong man Samson taking
the honey-comb out of the dead lions mouth,
and afterward with reference to it, to the Philistines
his famous riddle "Out of the eater came forth
meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness
has been recalled to US by a recent discovery Of o
bees nest in a place where it might be thought as
little likely to be found as in a dead lions mouth.
In making some repairs in the interior of the
church of Kawaiahao q day or two ago, it was
discovered that a swarm of bees had made their
nest under the gallery of the church, where they
had penetrated through chinks in the boarding
of the ceiling. A honey-comb, containing quite a
large quantity of the melli6uous liquor, was shown
to the Editor of this journal by the Rev. Mr.. Par
ker. the Pastor of the church. Whether Queen
Bee, and her busy workers, were attracted to
make their nest in Kawaiahao church by the
honied words of the eloquent preacher, and those
choice flowers of o~ratory which issue from his
inspired lips in the beautiful language of Hawaii
mel at the church services, is a matter best known
to Her Melihuous Majesty and her suite. In some
countries there is a popular notion that the finding
Of a bees nest prOgnOsticates an increase to the
family of the finder.

THE BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND
PRINTING.

No surprise should be felt at the fact that
the Government has underbid the bank
note companies in the bids for printing the
Government issues II is plain that the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing can do
this work cheaper than any outside party,
for the reason that while it can get ma
ohinery and labor rs cheap NJ they can, it
has the advantage of fhaving no rents, taxes
or insurance to pay, to say nothing Of the
fact that the bank-note companies include
In the bids margin for profits on the cap
itul invested. 1t is very obvious that the
time has come for stopping the system of
having printing for the Government done
by contract. For example, the Post Office
Department now has the postage stamps
engraved and printed in New York under II
contract which pays the company large
profits after paying taxes, rents and insur-
ance. Thousands Of dollars could be saved
70 that Department annually by having the
postage stamps engraved and printed in
Washington. There is enough Of this bust
pesss to justify the Government in erecting
. special building for the use of the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing.

POSTAL SAYINGS BANKS.

So many savings banks have failed with
in the last few months that the laboring
people of the country are left almost help
less. They distrust the few institutions
which still remain solvent, not knowing
how soon they may follow those which
have gone before. The newspapers through
out the country have, with remarkable
unanimity, spoken out in favor of estab-
fishing postal savings banks. In view of
the urgent necessity which exists for pro-
yiding prompt relief to the people, we hope
that Congress will, at very early day,
take up the consideration of this matter.
Habits of economy cannot he too much en-
couraged among the people, and this end
can best be accomplished by providing them
with the most ample facilities for invest
ing their savings 80 that they will he ahso-
lutely safe and bear reasonable rate of in

EXCEPTIONS have been taken In some quar-
tcrs to the rule adopted by Mr.. SCHuRz that
clerks in his Department may 20 home to vote,
but that during their absence their pay shall bc
stopped. We think Mr. SCuURZ Is right in
regard to this matter, looking at It from the
standpoint of civil service reform. If the
principles of that system are to prevail then
the clerks in the several Departments Of the
Government will as a general rule become per-
mancnt citizens of this District. Although
they may enjoy the constructive right of vot-
ing in the States from wherever they were
appointed, the cxpcdicncy OF their exercising
that right is doubtful. There can certainly
he no propriety in allowing their pay to con-
tinue while they are absent from the city on
such business. We do not see why different
rule should he applied to tho civil servants of
the Government from that which has long
prevailed as to army officers The fact that
the latter seldom IL ever vote gives them
very desirable position Of impartiality, which
increases the respect in which they arc held
by all classes of people. We hold, therefore,
that officers permanently employed in the Dis.
trict of Columbia should not mingle in the
political contests in the States. They are here
as the common servants Of persons Of all par
ties and the civil service would he much more
acceptable to tho people II the officers should
be taken entirely out Of politics. Moreover,
there is no reason why men who are virtually
permanent residents of this city should inter
fere with elections in Ohio or New York.

Minister Rivas named day and hour to re-

reason the Minister believed that IL was the
intention of the President, as a tool of the

WE ARE GLAD to observe that the new con-
stiIution of Georgia contains 4 very salutary
provision in relation TO divorces. The legisla-
tion Of many Of the States upon this subject is
so loose that it is really u source Of gratifcn-
ton to find one State which Is still under the
influence of conservative ideas In regard to
this important matter. A section in the new
constitution provides that n divorce rincHlo
mdtrimonh shall not be granted except upon
the concurrent verdict of two different jurics
rendered at two different terms Of the Superior
Court. Under this law after the first verdict

MANY. As ItEPORTED ny OUR consul.
GENERAL At FEANKFORT-oN!TIrT;M MAIN.
In response to the trade circular reccntlv
transmitted from tho Drnar,mcnt of State TO
our consular officers. an interesting report on
the prospects for an extension OF American
trade in Eastern, Southern and Central Gcr-
many has been received from the United States
consul general nj Frank fnrt ont thc. Main. AZ
ter fully reviewing the Obstacles to this in
crease such rs the attachment Of the German
people TO fixed customs and their diSiurlinR-
tiOn to accept Innovations which ihpiy n
change of habits and the manner Of doing
things, which have come down from genera
tion to generation, the consul general feels as
Surcd that all such obstacles will readily Weld
to the great law of profit and pccuniary inter.
est which governs commerce, and that the
present time is peculiarly favorable for the in
PRODUCTION aud sale Of American productions
in that part Of Germany, the existing plethora
of coin, the languiShing state of skilled pro-
duction, and the low rates of duty prevailing
specially invite our producers and manutactu-
rcrs to find profitable market there.
The best and surcst way TO command this
extension Of trade, in the opinion Of the CON
sui general, would be bv the establishment of
central depot at frankfort on the Main,
where American goods and manufactures
would he constantly on exhibition, this per-
mancnt depot or exhibition tn he supplemented
by responsible agents, mrn Of strict integrity
and financial responsibility, to solicit sales
and carry ont all the rules necessary to the
fun success of any active, legitimate enter

accommodating spirit toward the pcculiaritcs
of the people and their requirements, cannot
but lead to large and profitable increase
in American trade with that important part of
the German Empire comprised within the
