TIE ANESDE HoyoRABLE-when one accuses
another Intentionally or otherwise Of something that
IS not reputable, and afterwards finding his mistake
proceeds to make an apology, the task IS not q DIM
cult one. But when one has praised another for
some skin. merit or talent which it turns out was
not possessed by the one thus beprAised-the situs-
tiou becomes awkward. This is just cur position in
regard to oar notice Of the singing by the choir at

apparently upset after the solos.
FoR HoNE.-Dr. Scott, the American Consul at

leave for the States on the steamer City Of Mem
York. during the coming week, for a visit Of sew
eral months. Their numerous friends and ac-
quaintances here viii say that we are but express
sing their united hopes for a prosperous voyage, a
pleasant sojourn and a safe return. Last evening.
at the residence OF Gen. Comfy, the American
Minister Resident, entertained quite a party of ladies
and gentlemen convened by invitation of Gen. Com
ly to meet ConsulS Scott and his lady. The affair was
sufficiently formal to be designated a reception.
aud yet from the unaffected, genial manners of
those who received, everybody was put perfectly
at their ease. Social reunions of this sort is what
Honolulu society needs more of.
SYMPATHY FOR THE S-UFFERNG.-The foreign
community at these Islands is notably responsive
to the calls of charity. OF this fact numerous in
stances might be given. Since the receipt of the
news OF the dreadful ravages of the yellow fever
in the Southwestern States of America. the organi-
cation of Knights of Pythias in this city has been
taking active measures TO raise a fund for the re-
lief of the needy and destitute. Private subscrip-
tons will doubtless amount to quite a respectable
sum-, but this will be handsomely supplemented
by the proceeds of a subscription ball, given by
the X. of P. on Thursday night last, at Williams
Hall. His Majesty the King honored the party by
his presence, and by taking a part in the opening
dance. as did His Exeellency Gen. Comfy, the
American Minister Resident. The festivities were
kept up by the young folks until past midnight.
The affair was a most decided success, and was at
tended by a large assemblage of the elite of Homo
lulu.
AGAIN.-We heard this week that there had been
trouble between the overseer at the new planta-
ton at Waimanalo, on the windward side of this
island, and the Chinese employees. We failed,
however, to get any reliable information, as every
one who ought to know appeared to be reticent.
In the native newspaper KuokoG of to-day's date
We find an item which we translate as follows:
THREATENED.-On one of the days of the past
week, Akana Kalauki was threatened by the Chi
nese employees on the plantation of F.. S. Pratt, at
Waimanalo. Koolaupoko, they declaring that they
would kill him. He went there in the capacity of
interpreter, as those Cinnamon did not understand
Hawaiian. We have been informed that the Chi
namen of whom we speak are in fact some of those
that have been recently driven out of California"
Again we warn our readers that g somebody will
get hurt" erelong in this greedy Importation of
male Cinnamon from California.
