The "Perusia."

This noble steamship. of the Callao and Hongkong
line, which touched here on the 81 Of February
last on her passage from China to South America,
arrived on Wednesday evening on the return trip,
reporting a passage Of 20 days and IL hours from
Callao. As passengers for Hongkong were His
Excellency j. FREDERICK Elmore, L. l.. D., (who is
commissioned by the Government Of Peru as its
Minister Resident in the Empires of China and
Japan and the Kingdom Of Hawaii) and his secre-
tary, Don Pedro Beltran. DIR. Elmore goes 70 China
as the special envoy Of the Peruvian Government in
respect to immigration from the former country.
The Peruvians appear to be quite as DESTROYS TO OBJ
tain the Chinese as the Californians and Australians
on the other hand wish to exclude them. The South
Pacific Times Of Callao Of the 10th March, In an
article on the subject says emphatically: I'VE
look to the Celestial Empire for the supply of the
one great want that must be supplied TO restore pros
perity TO Peru" We learn that there are now
about 10000 Chinese laborers la Peru, many Of
whom have refused the free passage home which is
now offered them, and have quietly settled down as
colonists, while large numbers have re-engaged on
the estates. The old system known as the ''Coolie
trade to the Chincha Islands is "A thing entirely Of
the past; and as the development of the vast re-
sources Of Peru is believed TO depend entirely upon
Chinese labor, there is little likelihood that the
treatment Of the immigrants by the planters will be
otherwise than such as lie dictated by a consideration
Of their own interests.
The Perusia sailed yesterday afternoon for Hong
kong, having coaled and received on board a number
Of Chinese passengers (about 800 from this port.
Ii is understood that communication have gone for
ward by this vessel. addressed to both the Ilongkong
Government (British) aud Chinese officials, repre-
senting in their true light the false and libcllous
statements heretofore sent from Honolulu respecting
the treatment here Of immigrants fom China. IL
will be noticed that ia our advertising columns Of
to-day, Marshal Parke offers "A reward Of 5000 for
information which shall lead 10 the discovery u the
writer Of such letters. The well known truth IN,
that the Chinese are nowhere better treated than In
these islands. This is a Chinaman's paradise.
The PerUSia will be due here on the return
voyage about June 3.

for several months fell on Wednesday morning. IL
was light, and lasted but a half an hour. but IL
was very welcome, as an earnest Of more 10 come.
In the upper valley however, the rainfall was pretty
copious, and to some extent allays the fear Of a
water famine.

HooLA LAHCI.-This charitable Association. Of
which Her Majesty Kapiolani is President. gave a
ball last Monday evening in aid Of its funds. The
attendance was large. and the dancing kept up
with spirit and zest TO a late. or rather. early
hour. Everything necessary to make the affair a
success was amply supplied, the decorations Of the
ball and all the arrangements being under the
personal supervision OF His Majesty the King.
The booth was erected in the Palace grounds, and
afforded ample space for all. The circus tent be-
longing to MI. Chas Derby was raised at one end
O. the dancing hall and inclosed the fountain. thus
afording a very desirable and comfortable place
in which to rest after the fatigue Of dancing. The
forethought which prompted this provision for
their enjoyment was thoroughly appreciated by
everybody. His Majesty opened the ball with
Mrs. Smith. lady Of the Minister Of the Interior. as
his partner. followed by His Excellency the Min
lister. who led out Her Majesty. Queen KapiOlani.
The music was supplied by the Military Band. and
the Band of the U. S. $. Pensacola. under the lead
ership Of Mr.. II. Berger. and was. OF course. all
that could be desired. The receipts amounted TO
the handsome sum Of about 5000.
This Association is made up Of persons con-
nected with the Kaumakapili Church. and is doing
a most excellent and needed work among the peo-
ole of the district 10 which it is located. There is
another Society Of the same name and for the same
object connected with Kawaiahao Church. OF which
Her Royal Higbness. the Heir Apparent is Presi-
dent. The appreciation OF the public. and its help
and encouragement in the good work which en-
cages the care of both Associations can be be-
slowed upon no better or more deserving objects.

ANOTHER WARNISO.-when win people learn to
be careful in handling kerosene oil lamps On
Monday evening last, a native woman, while ex-
tinguishing the light, imprudently blew down the
lamp chimney, causing an explosion by which she
was terribly burned. Thursday morning, death
put an end 10 her suGerings. This reprehensible
pratice Of blowing out a Lighted lamp il altogether
too common, even among those who ought TO know
better ; and while such n custom prevails these
terrible accidents are to be expected.

ROYAL HAWAIIAN THEATRE.-The benefit tender.
ed TO Miss Ingles on Saturday last. by the anna
teur performers OF Honolulu. was. as we predicted,
a success,-a complete success. The well filed
house, and the hearty plaudits which greeted Miss
lngles on her every appearance on the stage. must
have been very gratifying to the fair beneficiary
as a proof, that during her short sojourn 10 Homo
lulu. she has gained the good will and respect Of
the public as an accomplished artistic and lady.
Miss lugles, as always, was perfect in her parts,
and acted with her usual spirit. Her recitation
was certainly one OF the finest samples Of elocu-
ton ever delivered upon the Honolulu stage. 1t
was splendid. Claude Melnotte was very good,
and apparently satisfied general expectation.
Claude bore the close and loving embrace of fair
Pauline, and the tender glances OF her sparkling
eyes with a herOism that ELECTED bursts Of applause.
1t evidently was a close shave Of losing the heart
of an amateur performer, although the loss Of a
fine pair of whiskers was only percephble. Miss
ClossOn did really very well. Mr.. Bristow APP
peared as the valiant Roman. and Messrs. Brown
and Bickerton acted as old veterans Of the stage
and accomplished ~artistes. Mr.. Cbas. Poor was
quite an acceptable young lady. Altogether the
performance turned out to be a complete success.
We hear that Miss Ingles intends to leave soon for
San Francisco. and we are certain that the best
and kindest wishes Of the people Of Honolulu ac-
company her, wherever she goes.

The AMERICAN PRESS VS.. lNFIDEIITY.-At a late
meeting of the Episcopal Congress in the United
States, on the subject of - The Press aud Christi
anity,' Mr.. ErasIus Brooks-an old journalist.
said q Be it remembered that among the popu-
lar journals Of the country, counted as they are
by thousands, there is scarcely one that dares as
sail the religion OF the Bible, and not one the per
feet life of Christ. If the Press is not a constant
affirmation of the truths of religion. it gives at
least a silent approval of those truths. 1t is the
pioneer both of civilization and Christianity 10 all
our States and Territories. The time has gone by
when Tom Paine slang and ridicule are popular
among the mass Of the people. and any journal
that will condescend to admit such stuff to its col
umns is counted at a discount"

MONEY COMMISSIONING to the increasing preva-
lence in the community of forged drafts, we are
requested by the Marshal to suggest to planters
and their agents the ~propriety Of not only having
all money orders made on printed blanks and
writing out the sums In words as we'll as in figures
Gas we think is usually dOne) but also having a
stamp of the drawers name impressed on each
draft.

New WAREHoUsE.-We note that the Minister
of Interior is building a new and commodious
warehouse at the steamship wharf, Esplanade,
for the storage Of goods intended for shipment
per steamers. The walls are of coral, one story,
and the roof is TO be ofcorrugated iron. The building
will be 1873 feet in length by 40 in width. The
site of the old warehouses which were destroyed
by the December fire, is being cleared Of rubbish,
and when the wharf in front is completed, we expect
to see new structures 60 up there for the storage
of domestic produce as landed from coasters.
The New AMERIcAN.-This new Sewing Machine
is represented as a marvel Of perfection, and this is
saying a great deal when one speaks Of these indis-
pensable articles of domestic life. The public who
have bought the New American Of g. +. Wells &
Co., have found their machines TO be all that was
represented, or that could be desired by the most
exacting and we are informed that the firm ex-
pect a new invoice Of these superior instruments
by the next steamer from San Francisco, on the
receipt of which they will be able to supply all
