THE HAwAIAN GAzETTE.-As previously announc-

ford Mcdowell. Esq, who makes his editorial salu-
tatory in this weeks number. We welcome him to

interchanges of editorial courtesies.
AN ENTERTAINMENT by the PensacOa'S Excel
sior Minstrel and Variety Troupe will be given
at the Theatre on Thursday evening next, Jan.
10. We have room to give the name of but one
piece, which is Phillippjohonessyvonbimblebra-
neutrality-suspicious. ** by T. Buttley.
ASTIPATHIEs OF RAcE-We regret to have to
note the increasing prejudice entertained by the
Hawaiians-especially the rising generation
AGAINST the Chinese. This was aparticularly dis
nIaved at the Gre of Thursday night, when China
men were actually dragged from their houses by
native :. hoodlums' and forced to go on the brakes
of the Engines.
THE Posi- OFFICE.-The bi-monthly steam service,
however advantageous for the public, has added con-
siderably to the work of the Post Master General,
and it seems only fair that this increase of his duties
should bring some corresponding addition to his sal
ary. For SO arduous and important a position, the
nresent salary of the Post Master General is h hardly
in keeping with the daily increasing responsibility
and actual work of the appointment.
We BEG to call the attention of our readers to the
advertisement in to-day's issue of the celebrated
Macneale s. Urban Fire and Burglar Proof Safes,
whose superiority over all others in use
OF the present day, is claimed to be established. Mr..
C. O. Berger, the special agent of the San Francisco
agency, arrived by the steamer st. Paul" and
brought with him a few samples of these safes, with
the intention of establishing an agency here.
HAWAIIAN JoURNALIsM-The first number of q
new paper in the Hawaiian language, entitled " Ko
Hawaii Pae Alma has been published. 1t starts
with a generous advertising support, and is filled
with interesting matter, making altogether a neat
appearance. MI. J. NJ. Kawainui, late of the Ruo-
koa has the responsibility and control of its publica-
ton. The editorial charge of the RuokOa, native
has been assumed by the Rev. II. H. Par
ker, under whose management its usefulness and in
terest to its patrons cannot but be increased.
ALMOST A SERIOUS ACCIDENTAL accidental dis
charge of a pistol at the Commercial Hotel, yester-
day, came very near resulting fatally. The weapon
was left there to be ratified for. and was being exam
by a party standing by, when, by some means it
was discharged, the ball passing between the fingers
of the party holding it. and through the ear of an
other man standing near by, giving him a close
shave, certainly. Any man, who passes a danger
BUS weapon like a pistol out Of his hands for the pur-
above indicated, and leaves q charge in it does
great wrong, for he may thereby place a human
life in jeopardy.
We WOULD call attention to the advertisement of
he Pacific Iron Works of San Francisco, which are
Offering to manufacture all kinds of sugar machine
y on very favorable terms. The nearness of
San Francisco and consequent low freight and the
act that there are no duties upon American
Machinery are tending to convince o N of our
merchants and planters that they can be as well or
peter supplied from them than from Europe, G..
Fogg, Esq, the superintendent of the Pacific
Works, who has been here for the last three
months, informs rs that he found at Makawao
ONE of the sugar machinery manufactured by
heir firm which has been in constant use for Of
cen years. Facts speak for themselves. J
