AeR1crLrURaL prospects are Frightening. Copious rains
have fallen on Hawaii and Maui, and we believe on all the Isl
anIs. Liberal showers are far more beneficial for the young
cane than any amount Of rain when it IS half grown and con-
sequentI " planters who are putting new fields IN cane are
greatly encouraged by the bountful supply OF moisture with
which they are now favored. The coming year Il iul oil nope
70 all cur agricultural interests.
A reference to our advertising columns viii show a change
in the partnership Of one Of eur principal commercial houses,
that Of Green, Macfarlane & Co, Mr. C W MacfarIane having
purchased and succeeded to the business Of the late firm,
which he Will continue under the firm name of C W Macfar-
lane & Co. We congratulate our young townsman upon his
assumption Of the responsibility aud control Of the large and
important business Of the late house. and wish him, most
heartily, all the success In his commercial career which his
hatIeriug prospects give him good reason to anticipate. His
fine business ability, tact and popularity, together with his
thorough knowledge Of the Island trade generally, eminently
fit him FOR the responsible position he has assumed. Mr. W l.
Green. the senior partner Of the late firm, who has been SO
long connected with the commercial affairs ofthis port, will
hereafter turn his attention to the development Of his sugar in
terests IN the Hamakua and HIO dfstricts-the future Bonan-
zas Of Hawaii mel
The schooner Pueokahi, (Ehfch runs on the Hama, Maui,
route) has been bought by Messrs W L Wilcox, c VI Cooke
and A F Cooke, for $1,000, and viii be continued in the same
trade. Capt Clarke, late Of the Pueokahis is about 10 engage
in sugar planting at Hama, where we wish MIN every success.

Oregon, las been put under the hawaiian flag, and will go On

DRoUrH AT THE AzoREs.-The drouth which
has prevailed in so many quarters for so long a
time, seems also to have been severely felt in the
Azores, or Western Islands. We notice that by
the Bark .ASorean, which sailed from New Bed
ford March 9, for Fayal, the Portuguese residents
of that city and vicinity sent a great many small
parcels of corn, salt fish, ETC., to their friends at
the Western Islands, where there is much suffering
from the drouth of the past two years, and cOnse-
quent failure of crops. We are not sure, but pre-
sumo the same ruthless destruction of the forests
has been going on there as with US. Like causes
produce like effects everywhere.

The Cipher Dispatches Again.

A Mr.. Alex. Thain, of New York,
who visited Florida with the Demo-
cratic statesmen at the time of The
presidential count in that State. hay-
ing expressed the opinion in an in
terview that Hon. A. s. Hewitt had
received the Florida cipher despatch
es and knew their contents, repre-
sentative of the New York EUeniaag
Post on Thursday had an interview
with Mr.. Hewitt, and asked .him if
had any Esply u lnaka Il tlse ~ J.
marks of Mr.. THAN. Mr.. Hewitt
said: Il deny absolutely and wholly
the truth of the insinuations and
charges made by Mr.. THAN. The ci-
pher dispatches sent from Florida to
New York city never came to me;
| could not have translated them if
they had; l knew nothing about
them they went else ewhere. BY re.
ferring to them as printed in the
Tribune, you will see that some of
them were addressed to me. Parts
OF Mr.. Thain's story are undoubied-
ly true. 1t is true that | sent John
+. COyle to Florida with cipher in
answer to the request from that
State. The same day that he went
Mr.. Thain called on me and said he
knew good deal alb lut Florida pol
itics, and was sure he could help the
party by going down to that State.
His Cffer was accepted. / have never
heard a word from him from that
day to this"
Mr.. John F. Coyle, of Washing
ton was in New York on Thursday,
but, according to the Herald, declin-
ed to say anything in regard to the
cipher dispatches further than that
he had never sent Mr.. Hewitt one.
He did send some dispatches, how
ever, which Mr.. Hewitt, as mem
Der Of the Democratic executive COM
mittee, doubtless saw. Mr.. Coyle
says he used no money in Florida
except what was necessary for legal
and legitimate expenses. ....

From all parts of the country re-

increasing demand for that deserv-

price of which the proprietors wisely
reduced to $50, including all the at

THANKSGIVING Day.

The proclamation of the Presi-
dent of the United States, published
Friday, setting apart Thur day, No
vember %, as a dav of national
Thanksgiving and prayer, should
commend itself to all readers for the
juStness and felicity of its language,
as well as the appropriateness of such
an acknowledgment of Divine mer-
cy as counseled. The restoration of
industry and the return Of prosperi-
ty, so plainly indicated all around
us, the peace which has abided
amongst us, and the safety in which
our Institutions have been preserved
are all appropria tely alluded to. and
the President, with a happy optim-
ism, which reminds one of Rufus
Choate's well-known descriptions of
the New England seasons, draws
even a blessing out of the pestilence
which has visited the South; and
undoubtedly, if the tone of the
Suthern press be any guide, the
b0unteous hands with which the
whole country poured forth its sub
stance for the relief of the sufferers
have woven new sense of our ma
tional unity and brotherhood into
the texture of the public thought
