Unless New York speedily makes some
changes for the better on Blackwells Island
she will lose her national reputation for
hospitality. Stories of sturdy ond invalid
guests vacating their rooms before the end
of the time for which they are engaged get
into the papers quite frequently, and II Is
believed by many that the history Of q great
number of similar cases is suppressed by the
managers of the unpopular houses alluded
to. Only yesterday five inmates of the
workhouso wore 20 wrought up as TO over
come their habitual lethargy. get into q boat
which the crew and guard had left. and row
themselves all the way across tho
river through the uncomfortable SLOW
storm. Others have smugglcd them
selves upon the steamers that touch
at the Island, or swan to the opposite
shores, or ont to passing vessels, and some
have found rest only in the bottom of tho
river. This sort Of thing will never do.
Most of these men arc citizens and voters;
the city has taken considerable pains to
handsome buildings for their accomnoda-
ton, and IL should see to 1t that the remain-
ing attractions of the place nre such as
shall induce the present boarders to become
permanent residents, rs the interests OF
guests and the reputation of the city de-
mand. There is misty tradition that the
Blackwells Island buildings were erected
for purposes reformatory instead of hos
pitable, but this is evidently o mistake, for
how many of the late residents are known

The area of snowfall attending the pres

the latitude Of Tennessee tho rainfall has
been and continues TO be quito abundant, and
extends from Texas to the South Atlantic
coast Snow has commenced to fall in tho
Northwest in advance Of the approaching do
preston ia that quarter. As tho storm area
moved eastward the barometric gradients over
the lakes have grownstce and heavy winds have
been experienced from the norrheastward
Strong winds arc also prevailing on the New
England coast The winds are generally north

River. except tho South Atlantic coast, where
they are southerly 70 southwcsterly. West

THE LINE.

BY the last mail, we learn that IL was rumored
in San Francisco that negotiations were in pro-
gress between the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany and the Central Pacific Railroad Company
looking toward a transfer of the Australians
branch of the Pacific Mail to the Railroad Com
pany. Ii was stated that the patronage of tho
line is not sufficient to cover the sum Of $50. 900
that it costs for the round trip Of each steamer.
This is not the first intimation that has hecn
given to the effect that the line to Australia does
not pay and there was sound reason in the
opinion which has been expressed that but for
the freight and passenger traffic to and from
Honolulu the ships would have ere this been
withdrawn. On the City Of Sydney, which
arrived from San Francisco on Tuesday last, out
of a cargo valued ut $50, $50. the valee OF
S32,659 was for Honolulu and OF her 40 cabin
passengers 81 landed here, besides 2o2 in tho
Storage, against SO for the Colonies. Since the
2lst of January last, on tho four trips made by
the steamers to San Francisco, they have carried
an average Of 80 cabin passengers each trip from
Honolulu and on the four trips from San Fran
cisco since January 90, the average has been
3SA cabin and lS9 steerage passengers for this
place. We have no statistics ut hand as 10 the
amount OF freight carried by the steamers be-
tween the two ports, but we believe that as a
rule they have always had us much domestic
produce as they could find room for on the voyage
hence to San Francisco, and generally full
freights to this port on the down trip. In fact.
such is the growing condition Of our IN
with our nearest neighbor and best customer
that, were the boats of the Pacific Mail Company
to be withdrawn, Gas it has more than once been
intimated that they may be at any moment) the
requirements of trade and the necessity for quick
and reliable transit between Hawaii and Califor-
MIA would ensure the speedy establishment OF an
independent line of our own. The means to this
end could. without doubt, be obtained from the
combined material interests of both countries,
and there would be no difficulty in obtaining for
such an enterprise a respectable subsidy from
this Government.
