CONCRETE PAvEMESTs-Since our last issue of
the GAZETTE, have been interviewed by several
persons, some to give explanations respecting the
bad pavements complained of last week, and some
TO point out specimens of concrete pavements that
have stood the test of time and use. In the first
place. it has been represented TO u.s. in regard to the
pavements on Fort street, to which We alluded as
being very bad, the material was scarce at the
time they were laid, and of bad quality. To this we
have only 10 say that if such was the fact it would
have been better for the workmen who put down the
pavements, to have either declined the work, or
waited till he had sufficient quantity OF good
terial TO make good job. In the next place, our
attention has been called to two specimens Of con-
crete pavement in Honolulu, which are good and
stand the test of time and usage These are, the
walk in front of the Odd Fellows Hall on Fort
street, and that at the hotel or restaurant OF Mr.
Akona These two last specimens are really cred
liable to the workmen who laid them. Our object
in noticing the detective concrete pavements was
to call the attention of the proper authorities, at
least of the owners of the property to the fact that
the matter might have Immediate attention. In
this have succeeded and task is done for the
present.

REAL ESTATE MISUNDERSTANDING the past
week the one-haf interest in Oowalu plantation
near Lahana, was sold to Messrs. F. S. Pratt and
James Campbell, of this city. The Olowalu planta-
tion was commenced about two years ago, by
Messrs. Philip Milton and GoodaIe Armstrong on
what was regarded by many unpromising
locality, but it turns out that the locality has
proved one of the very best for the culture of
of the finest quality. The property which was
sidered but two years ago of little no value, is
now actually valued in cash, at a sum above $780,
Co., the one-haf interest having been sold for SI05
900. Such advance in valpe seems incredible, but
it is nevertheless true. The soil of the 0lowau
plantation is very rich and wonderfully productive
whilst the supply of water for irrigation is ample
and inexhaustible. Such facts as the above We
think should stimulate capitalists abroad to hurry
up with their Investments. Such opportunities
cannot long exist in this Eldorado not OF gold
but of sugar.

A Romantic Love Story.

My clock on this occasion misled me,
and | arrived at my hostess at too
early an hour. As I went in met a
young lady preparing to go out. We
exchanged word or two and gave a
second rapid glance to discover what it
was that made me wish she would stay.

will tell you about her. You see she is
young and this moment particularly
sad. She has hardly a footing, she
says. She is in half dream or in a
world not exactly real, as it is to the
rest of us. Two or three years ago a
well-known publisher in Paternoster
Row, who for many years had been
prosperous in business, and deserved
his prosperity, failed through no fault
of his own. The ruin was SO complete,
save that his honor remained untarn-
ished, that he has been obliged to take
an humble situation, and the older
daughters of the family to become
governesscs. The youngest daughter,
Alice, the young lady you met in the
hall, has been kept at school, that she
might be educated to fill the place of a
governess. Last year, when the ami
mails which had been presented to the
Prince of Wales ON his Indian journey
were exhibited at the Geological
Gardens, this child, with the rest of
London, was anxious to see the Princes
pets. She went to the Zoo as it is
called here, and while in the crowd,
observed a thief pick gentleman's

Raising Fish for Family Use.

WHILE every farmer cannot have y
tish-pond, there are many, especially
among those in or near the foothills,
who could, with but little trouble,
supply themselves with u plentiful sup
ply of fine, fresh fish. There is no
more healthful food than fish, and,
where the farmer owns his own pond,
none more cheap. Wherever there is q
good strong spring, or where the water
from spring may be utilized, n little
labor will make pond of an acre, and
it can readily be stocked with spawn or
young fish. They will thrive and null
tiply to an astonishing extent and form
an agreeable variety to the routine of
the farmers table. They would also
be u profitable thing to raise for the
market, as fish always command Il high
price here. Seth Green, the famous
pisiculturist, says "onc acre of water,
well cultivated in fish, will make u
larger net revenue than two of land"
Try it and see if we tell you not the
words of truth and sOberness.
TO this the San Jose Argus adds: 1t
has been fully demonstrated that
the carp is the most available
fish for such uses, though many
other varieties may be profitably
cultivated. The carp, however, is Of
rapid growth, extremely hardy and
prolific, and withal a delicious article
of diet. 1t is of that species to which
belongs the little ornamental gold fish,
and thrives best in still water. Any of
our farmers who try the plan of fish
raising, and depend largely on the
carp, may be assured of rich and
bountiful harvest. The carp is cheap
est, because it requires no care or
feeding, but will sustain itself and
grow fat on the vegetable growth of a
pond of water.--Colton (Cal.) SENT

Life In Italy.

The Italians live very simply. The
country people are content with diet
which most American farmers would
despise. They have four necessaries of
life, the supply of which is always first
considered-bread, maccarOni, oil and
wine. The ordinary bread is coarse
and rather dark, but decidedly more
nutritious than that made from our
finely-bolted American flour. We inn
agine that bread is good in proportion
as it is sUhite, and thus lose much of its
best property. The Italians sometimes
cook maccaroni in salt and water. from
necessity; but, whenever possible, in
meat and broth, with the addition of
cheese and tomatoes. The olive oil,
which each farmer makes for himself,
is far better and wholesomer than lard;
il fact, it is almost equal to fresh but
ter. Whatever is fried in it is sweet,
palatable and easily digested. A great
many Americans, knowing olive oil
only as a medicine, shudder when they
hear it spoken of as an article of food.
Yet l have often seen them, in Italy,
heartily relishing their chops, and
omelettes, and fried fish, without the
least suspicion of the fact that much of
the flavor was due to the oil. Wine,
onions and oil, to great extent, sup
ply the place of meat; but eggs and
fish are also plentiful, and usually
cheap. The flesh of pigs and goats

1t is then hold deliberate and nn;ot

1t is then hold deliberate and quiet
converse with myself. There 1 recol-
lect and dispassionately consider again
whatever claims to be noteworthy.
Impartial, would nothing extenuate,
nor set down aught in malice. My
| diary furnishes q reliable record, in
GLIDING time and manner, of personal
and family events which may be of in
tcrest to refer TO in after years. This,
it is true, might be regarded only as a
convenience and satisfaction, though it
will not be denied that frequent cases
do arise when such records become of
unspeakable value as testimony. But
the benefits of this habit arc manifold.
Personally the practice is a means of
Intellectual and moral sclf-disciplinc,
II tanning and education. 1t insures inn
prOvement in readiness and directness
of thought as well rs in style of express
sion and facility of utterancc. 1t has
also a moral influence, exciting in the
writer, whether he intends it or not, u
degree of intrOspection into his own
tempcrs and habits; and ulster dis
cernment respecting the manners and
motives of those around him. If ut
first that is found sometimes to be
erroneous, the observation and reflec-
ton which are uccasioncd speedily cor
rect it. The writer sees his own most
natural thoughts and becomes more in
timatcly acquainted with his own char
actcr and opinions. Therefore, though
it may not attract the attention, or en-
gage the interest of others, it will prove
of benefit to himself.
So in the diverse relations Of ,lOmcs-
tic life. diary-kceping by the husband
and father will also become valuable Us
y promoter of peace and happiness. Its
effect will be to subduc unkind feelings
and restrain harsh words, while i'm the
calm moments of his diary record he re-
views his decisions and his acts in rela-
ton to his wife or children. If il be
thought that these deliberations may
take place rs well without keeping u
diary, must dissent. My conviction
is that it will more commonly be neg
lcctcd; and if attempted, will rarely, or
never be SO regular, complete and cf-
fcctivc, us where the names of the house,
hold and the current events Of the FAM
lily history are daily jottcd down with
loving thoughts and interest.
In business affairs, too, as well rs in
society relations, and in public con-
Germs. advantages of like obvious inn
port are sure to inurc to the diary keep
or and to make him Il more valued
friend and ncighbor, and more consid-
crate and mcthodical in business. He
is likely to be much in thought and
sympathy with his fcllow-citizcns. His
diary notes will frequently embrace
new names and circumstances, ever
multiplying the d',tmc!is persomec on
his life's stage, and chords of unison
between himself and others. For these
reasons believe in keeping diary,
and would like to commend the practice
to all.-COr. N. Y. Observer,

gentleman on the arm and pointed out
the thief. The gentleman said, Let

party pursued his craft, and they on the
watch gave the alarm, and the thief
was arrested. Alice started for her
home. The gentleman begged that she
would give him her name and address,
that he might fittingly thank her, but
this she declined to do. He must
have followed her, for the next
day he met her on the way to
school, and again asked for her ad-
dress. saying that without her testi-
mony it would be impossible to convict
the pickpocket, and she complied. He
called ut her fathers house, made the
acquaintance of the family, cscorting
Alice to the Magistrate Court, where,
on her evidence, the sharper was sent
to hard labor for two years. This new
made acquaintance continued his visits,
and was marked in his attentions to
Alice. He gave her valuable presents,
and begged that he might be at the
cnarge Of her education. He took up
the role of guardian in the most natural
way, and became the dearest friend of
the whole family. He was an invalid,
and Travelled more or less during the
early season for his health. Not very
long ago he surprised them by coming
to take leave, saying that he was
obliged to 60 to San Francisco to take
possession of a valuable property that
had been left him there. He wrote to
Alice during the journey, and after his
arrival; and then came the last letter
saying that he was i'll and must die; that
he hoped to make her his wife, and that,
by his will, he had left her f5OO year

this, Alice received visit from his
father, who informed her that his son
had died II few days after writing to

Eating Forbidden Fruit.

A GOOD story is told at the expense of
two Western Members of Congress,
who, having secured orders for bouquets
from s. S. Cox, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Books and Bouquets in the
House, delivered the same, and, while
waiting to have the nosegays made up,
meandered idly through the conscrva-
tories of the Botanical Gardens. They
came upon q tree having red berries
thereon, and, like Adam and Eve, were
tempted to eat. They tasted it, and
found the fruit pleasant to the mouth,
and went on helping themselves till
one of the men employed in the place
gave them the law, which prohibited
plucking fruit or flowers. The gentle
men, feeling that they were privileged,
paid no attention to the remonstrance
until the man, somewhat irritated,
said:
"Well, gentlemen. if you will eat
you had better select some other fruit,
for that is deadly poison
