We want no better evidence that business is
in q healthy state than the various improvements
to be observed in different parts of the town. Be-
sides the Government Warehouse, noticed in our
last, we observe that the long established and well
known firm of Castle & Cooke are building a large
brick warehouse in the rear Of their premises on
King st. The work is under the supervision of
MIR. Baker, whose name is . sufficient guarantee
that it will be well done. We are glad to see that
Mr.. Hopper, Phoenix-like, is rising from hig ashes,
and will soon have a fine brick ~6re-proof building
standing on the site Of his establishment which
was burned down in the great fire of December.
Success is sure to reward all such enterprise.

THE LIKELIKE reports a good fall of rain on Maui
and Hawaii. Although the cane in some few districts
is entirely lost through the long drouth, it is to
be hoped that all cause of uneasiness for the future
may now be considered as at an end, and that our
planting interests will soon recover from the check
they have sustained.

and isn't 10 good condition. When he is, he
will sing that waltz by the hour; bat when

wish he would sing now. Perhsps we can get
him to.
Thereupon Mrs. Carpenter played the waltz
much like birds. She played the waltz
through, and che ceased the bird began and
sang the waltz nearly through bat it made
fa!ss note and then warbled sweetly. The
organ sounded again and then tho bird sang
again. This time Dick sang the waltz correct
ly, and at the end of the song gave bimself
great airs, evidently proud of his skill.
How did we teach bimf said Mr.. Carpen-
ter in answer to the question of the reporter.
Mrs Carpenter took Dick when he was last
eff the nest and put him into a dark room
where he saw no light aud heard no sound.
Then daily she played the waltz to him 20 or
three times day, for fifteen twenty min
ntes every time. At the end of mont b or tw
the bird began to sound a note of tue waltz,
then another. Soon it combined them. after
time he whistled an entire strain. 1t was
nearly year, however, before his eduoa ion
was complete. 1t requires considerable pa
tence 10 teach a bird. These birds are a cross
between linnet and a canary and are heart
ier bird than Thoroughbred oansry. I would
not like to part with either of my birds.
