Government Physicians.

To the Editor of the p. C:Advertiser:
SIR 1t seems important that public attention
should be called to the fact of the urgent need there
is for medical assistance for the poor on this island.
During the past few months there have been
many sick natives on the Island who have suffered
for want of medicines and medical attention. A
large proportion of them have been deferred from
obtaining medicines and advice for the want of
means.
It seems to be understood that the Board of
Health does not expect as much from the Travelling
Physician as formerly, and has reduced his salary
and limited his supply of medicines for gratuitous
distribution. What the reason of this is, it knows
best. 1t is not because there is less need of his
services.
Mr.. Editor, it would make the heart of any friend
of Hawaiians ache to know of the suffering there
is among the people and the number Of deaths which
occur for the want of medicines and timely advice.
1t seems a little matter to spend tens of thousands
of dollars to send abroad for laborers, or to build
a steamer, or repair a hotel, or to attend to any
SO called public need in Honolulu ; but when it
comes to paying a salary to o physician to alleviate
the wretchedness of the sick and to save men, women
and children from dying, it is a very different thing.
Most of the natives do the best they know how to
help their sick, begruding neither labor nor the
means they have. They often 90 for a kahuna
rather than a foreign doctor sometimes because
they have more faith in the kakuna, and sometimes
because he takes more interest in them.
Despite what may be said on the subject, there
remain the facts that there is much sickness and
many deaths among the natives, and that very little
is being done by the government to supply them with
medicines or medical aid
All who are familiar with Hawaiians know that
they yield readily to the effect of medicine, and that
they seek after Government Physicians who have
their confidence.
Two physicians should be employed by the Board
of Health on the Island of Maui, one to reside at
Makawao and one at Waikiki. A third. residing at
Lahaina would find plenty of Work. And good
salaries should be paid to good men.
Public attention is being so engrossed with new
enterprises and schemes that there is danger that
the needs Of the common native will be forgotten.
Many planters and other foreigners deserve
praise for dispensing medicines as they do, not
only to those in their employ, but to others. But
Notwithstanding what is being done, the sick and
the dying are calling for the aid of physicians.
And their cry must be needed or the pace at
come to which the Hawaiian race is nearly EXITING
ton will not only continue but it will increase.

THE PACIFIC
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER %.
"Disproportion of the Sexes"

To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial AdUertiser :
SIR II was much pleased and interested with
your article on the above subject in your issue of
August 25th, the present year.
1t seems strange to me that an enlightened gov
eminent and our intelligent planters should require
so much stirring from the press on q subject which
so seriously and Immediately concerns and affects
their own personal private interests.
The writer is engaged on a plantation not a hun
dred miles from Hanalei, where the proportion
stands at about 6 males to 1 female and the trouble
to the management, expense, and loss of time
through this cause.-The disproportion of the sexes,
is immense.
An old adage says: Every one knows where his
own shoe pinches ; and if our planters, at the end
of their year care to reckon the cost to them of ex-
penses, loss of time, and all the extra and disagree
able work they have performed all through this
abomination, they shall find it to be a very material
item.
You COUNSEL the government to endeavore
to find some remedy for this crying evil and at the
same time you give the remedy in a nutshell
"No Cinnamon shall henceforward be allowed to
come here unless accompanied by their women;' % and
if this were /" law " it might not only prevent the
terrible state of morals which already exists and
with which we are threatened to a much greater ex-
tent in course of time, but the country might have
a better class of immigrants and planters q better
class Of laborers. READER.

and also beats the American Overland Route
When the news arrived here that the Samoan chiefs
had asked for a British protectorate, the Colonial
Secretary stated in Parliament that no such petition
has reached the Foreign Office. The British Consul
at Apia has reported, that on account of disturban-
ces and great risk to life and property of British
subjects, he would grant protection to Samoa tempo
rarily while awaiting orders, but that, as at present
advised, H. MS Government is not prepared to
assume any responsibility with respect to the admins
tration of affairs in Samoa. Since then the hosting
of the American flag at Apia has changed the entire
situation.-The great tidal wave of May 10th, which
also struck Hawaii, not only reached Australia, but
even the northeast coast of Japan. 5000 miles away
from Peru, it arrived there about 9 A. NJ. on the
18th, and continued all day, flooding the coast vii

GOLD Horse" SALE.-At an unclaimed
baggage" sale iu Virginia City, Nevada
Saturday, there was great fun. The Vir-
/ ginia Cla0Hcie says an old pair OF blankets
were sold to a woman for 81 80 and panned
out $3.50 set Of seal skin furs. This caused
! the excitement to raise to fever heat, and ell
sorts Of old bundles and carpet sacks went off
at high figures. A large lumber of the lat
ter were sold, the buyers Judging consider
ably upon the outside appearance Small
mOrrocen leather sacks, with an aristocratic
English tourist air, brought good bids Brus-

POETECkL SELECTIONS.
GOING SOFTLY,

She makes no moan about her faded flowers,
She will not vainly strive against her lot,
Patient she wears away the slow, sad hours,
As if The ray they had were quite forgot
While stronger fingers snatehed away the sword,
And lighter footsteps PASS her on the ways,
Yielding submissive 10 the stern award
That said she must go softly all her days.
She knows the pulse is beating quickly,
She knows the dream is sweet and subtle still,
That struggling from the cloud of past regret,
Ready for conflict live Hope, JOY and VIII;
So soon, 50 soon to vel the eager eyes,
To dull the throbbing ear to blame or praise,
So soon to crush rewakening sympathies,
And teach them she gots softly all her days
She VIII not speak or move beneath the doom,
SIZE knows she had her day and hung her cast
The loser scarce the laurel may assume,
Nor even think the monday glow can last
Only, 0 youth and love, as in your pride
OF joyous triumph your gay notes You rise,
Throw one kind glance and word where, your side
Creeps one who must 90 softly all her days.

LIE WAnIN CrRA.-The SpanisI

THE WAX IN CUBA.-The Spanish Govern
ment steadily maintains that it has no inten-
ton Of making peace with Cuba, but in so
doing decleres It's incapacity TO make the
best of Il bad situation. The war mp 10 the pres
ent time has cost S9aiu about $500, 900, 200
At the beginning Of the year $4,000 soldiers
had been sent TO the island, and at that time
not more than S, 0G0 or 10000 were in exis-
tence. At the clusa OF the Cnrlist war, %, :
material progress toward the subjugalion of
the Cubans. The contest is TOO long and too
costly to Spain 10 admit of but one result
The yellow fever and other tropical diseases
nre allies OF the CuhAns. which the mo her
country cannot withstand. The manner in
which tho war has been conducted makes
peace almost impossible, except by the sbsO-
lutte Withdrawal of Spain from the contest
The Spanish have proceeded on the assump-
ton that the Cub.ns were r5b-ls, and as
such deserved death. According to official
figures at the close Of 1872, Is 600 Cubans
had been killed in battle. while As 800
Cuban prisoners has been killed on one pre-
tence or another. This kind Of war does not
leave antagonists Ia a condition Of MAD to
become god fTlends- Spain has made the
war one of eXtermInaiIou, and the Cubans
seem no less resolved 10 conquer or die.

Let be the river, What does it avail
To struggle with the currents destined course,

Skill yields, tired, to res.stless force.
The highest rock Is overleapt by spray,
The silent waters fret each bar away.
Yainly the bulvark fashioned deep and wide,
New bed cOntrivel, new turn by cunning wrought
Stealy, resistless onward flows tie tide,
Each gathering wave with gathering purpose
fraught,

It sweeps to oceans mighty arms at length.
Let be the river, Let the loved alone
To meet the fate, and shape the circumstance.
We dream the future, fInCyIng all our own.
What does but wait the call Of time and chance;
Foredoomel, the p.th before the pilgrim lies,
The sunset lurking in the mountain skies.
Let be the river, Hail its rippling smile,
Listen Its sone, and shivT 10 its sigh;
Let its ehafed beauty weary hours beguile,
Watch how it daskens to the darkening sky,
We cannot cloud Or brighten, speed or check,
Nor alter on its way the tiniest beck.
let be the river, then. Where the lilies float,

WHY WE CoUGH.-An Italian inves-
tigator has been studying the cause of
coughs, ard has come to the conclus>
sion that they are the result of the
presence of a parasitic fungus in the
air passages. In severe cases the par
parasite multiplies and takes posses
sion of the lung cells. QuInlne is said
to possess the power of stopping this
microscopic fupgi, and, IS therefore,
recommended as a remedy. The Ital-
ian doctor has Successfully used com
position Of the chloralhydrate OF
quinine, ,one part; bicarbOnate Of soda,
one part; gum arabic, twenty parts.
The soda is intended to dissolve the
mucus, the gum arabic TO increase the
adherence OF the powder oh the broh-
cbial passages. The blowing in Of
the powder should take place during
4 deep Inspiration Of the patient, SO
that il may penetrate the WindplPe,
TIE chief seat of the microscopic fun
gus. The remedy, whatever may be
the truth Of the theory on which it is
founded, has the merit Of simplicity,
and if its application did little good,
il could not do much harm.

THE PASSION FOR GAMBLTSG.-An
incident happened in a gambling sa-
loon in this city a few DAYS ago, says
the Washington Republican, which
serves TO illustrate the passion for
gambling. Three yoqng men went
into a gambling saloon with the sum
of twenty-five cents between them,
which was staked and lost. They de-
termined 20 .aise some money IN some
way. they left the room and soon re
turned with SO, bu: without their
oyercoats. The three overcoats a
vest. scarf and pin, were pawned st a
uawubroker's near by. They played
aosin nntil the $40 were lost, and
then went out doors TO shiver and
wished they lad their oYercoals. HE
three Young men made a complaint at
the police station Of having lost tGeIr
money at a gambling table, but they
would not prosecute the proprietor.
