The WAILUKU AND KAHULUI RAILRoAD.-We
are credibly informed that all the materials for
the above new rail road are now on the ground
The work will be done with dispatch and regulari-
ty, and if energy will effect the speedy completion
of any enterprise, the we'll known energy of the
man who has this railroad in hand is q sufficient
guarantee that it will be completed much sooner
than was anticipated. The two new locomotives
for the Kahului and Wailuku railroad, of which we
made mention about two months ago, are expected
to arrive any day, and thus enable the energetic
head OF this new improvement to push his project
We think 1t is fair TO presume that the Rshului
and Wailuku railroad will not only be the first
railroad on these Islands, but will be the only one
for some time to come. Tue man who is at the
head of this enterprise is OF those peculiar men
who, when he puts his hand to the pow never
looks back, and therefore feel warranted in the
belief that the Kahului and Wailuku railroad will be
success, because he has not only the energy but
the means to make it such. The present scarcity
Of money on the Islands will be draw back to
railroad enterprises here but far as tue Kahului
and Waiuku railroad is concerned the means are
already secured.

TROPICAL FRUITs IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Orange growing in California has been assuming
such dimensions to make it doubtful whether in
few years it will pay to raise the fruit, which is
smaller and not sweet that raised here and in
the Society Islands. Every land -owner and settler
in the neghborhood of Los Angeles is ambitious to
have an orange grove; houses are surrounded BY
them, and they even burden the streets. Many are
beginning to plant almond aud walnut trees, fore
seeing time when the market will be glutted with
oranges. The success in raising bananas has not
been very encouraging thus far, owing to the injury
done TO the young trees by the occasional night
frosts. 1t is believed however, that harm is to be
feared from the frosts only while the banana trees
are very young, and that ii they can be nursed
through their infancy, they will prove hardy enough
TO survive. Oranges figs, almonds, and olives, are
now among the fruits produced by the wonderful
Golden State, well the choicest grapes, fit for
wine and raisn making, and all the fruits of tenn
perste clmes, iu the greatest prousion and OF the
highest excellence, large part of the crops being
dried or preserved in tins for export.

AN INVISIBLE WOUND.

One OF the most celebrated practitioners
of Pesth, DR.. K, was called upon one
morning to receive at an early hour visi-
tor in great haste, who, while waiting in
the antechamber sent in word by the foot
man that delay for him was danger. He
must be received Immediately.
The doctor threw on his dressing-gown
hastily and had his patient shown in.
He found himself in the presence of a
man utterly unknown to him, but who, to
judge by his dress and manners, evidently
beloged to the best society. His pale face
bore traces of great physical and moral
sufferings. He carried his right hand in
sling, and in spite of his efforts to re-
strain himself, from time to time stiAed
groan escaped him. Seeing the poor man
stagger, the doctor invited him to sit
down.
I am tired have not slept for a week.
There is something the matter with my
right hand do not know what. Is it car
buncle? Is it cancer? At first the suf-
fering was slight, but now it is burning.

I am. 1 have come to beg you to cauter-
ize it, or to cut out the painful part, for
one more hour Of this dreadful torture

The doctor asked to see the hand, which
the patient put into his, crashing his
teeth meanwhile from the intensity Of
pain, while the physician proceeded to un-
do the bandages with every possible pre-
caution.
"Above all, Doctor, beg of you not to
attach any Importance to what you will
see.-My complaint is so strange that you
will be surprised, but beseech you to take
no notice of that"
"Where is the painful spotp 1t is sur
prising. see nothing"
"Nor I either: and yet the pain there is
so dreadful that feel tempted to knock
my head against the WALL"
The doctor took magnifying-glass ex.

culates very regularly. Underneath there
is neither inflammation nor cancer. 1t is al
healthy as any other part of your body"

OTHER MEN.
The golden precePts of our God,
The thorny path our Christ has trod,
Seem meant for other men.
The pulpit, in its elOquence,
Feels every word that drops from thence
Is meant for other men.
The sins it sees, the crimes unseen,
The Outcast soul, the wretched mean,
Are all of other men.
And so from pulpit down it goes
The list of sins our paper shows
Are deeds of other men.
And all good Christians, as they read,
Rest safely in their chosen creed,
And sigh for other men
"GOd save these souls; bnt as to ours,
We do not fear the threatening powers
Which conquer other men,"
And yet oh, readers, search your heart.
And see how little tits apart,
From those of other men.
How much of strength is due to chance
The happening of a circumstance
To you and other men.
In prosperous days you fear no fall.
But tickle fortune changes all
For you and other men.
Oh, how much better would it be,
II you could only-only see
Yourself as other men
See all your meanness, and how small
At best you are and, after all,
How like these other men.

LAMP CEMENT.-Where the tops of
lamps have become loosened, it is not an
easy job to mend them, and many have
been disappointed in attempting to &C.
ment them on by the use of plaster of
Paris. 1t is said that by boiling three
parts of rosin with one part of caustic soda
and five parts Of water, and mixing with
one-half it's weight of plaster of Paris, one
will make cement which is not permea-
BILE by petroleum. It sets firmly in ashort

New York Worlds Fair.

The Albany Journal says that the efforts
looking to the holding of Worlds Fair in
New York city in 1884 are beginning to
take practical shape. A meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee was recently held, at
which considerable progress was made. The
committee on site was directed 10 report at
an early day whether it is not possible TO
acquire sufficient land on Manhattan Island
for the accommodation of the fair. A reso-
luton was adopted nstructing the commit
tee on legislation to apply for Congressional
aid, and approving of the draft of the bill
recently prepared by that committee. This
mission, to consist of one delegate from
each state and territory, to be known as
the United States International Commission,
TO prepare and superintend the execution of
plan for holding the fair. This commits
sion is to be appointed by the President, on
the nomination of the governors of the states
and territories, aud is to report to Congress,
at the first session after its appointment,
suitable dates for opening and closing the
fair, schedule of opening aud closing cere-
monies, and kindred details. Section of
the bill provides that whenever the Presi-
dent shall be informed by the governor of
of this state that provision has been made
for the erection of suitable buildings for
the use of the fair, he shall make proclama-
ton setting forth the time at which the
fair will open and close, and shall send
an invitation to the rest of the civilized
world TO attend as exhibitors or visitors.
Nothing was said at the meeting of holding
the fair in Central Park.

Causes Of the Negro Exodus.

A Southern correspondent, entirely tamil
lar with the subject of which he treats,
writes as follows "Careful inquiry into
the cause of the negro discomfort proves
that much of it is due to the grasping ma
ture of small storekeepers scattered all
along the river shores. The owners of these
trade shops secure deeds of trust upon
crops before they are planted, also on mules,
wagons, farming implements, even the seed
the laborer is to put in the ground, as Sc
curty for certain advances to be furnished
during the cultivation of the crop. AS the
growing cotton develops, either for good or
bad, supplies are furnished lavishly or spar
ingly, as the situation warrants. Sardines,
sweet crackers, whisky, and gewgaws of
every kind, are offered as a temptation to
the men. Notions, gaudy ornaments and
calicoes capture the women. The worthless
trash is offered to the poor colored man sew
eral hundred per cent. above cost when the
crop is promising Like poor whites, they
agree, when buying on credit to pay ten
per cent. interest on the advance, besides the
increased charge usually made for goods
sold on credit. This system beats the exac-
tons of the khedive of Egypt. There the
government owns the land, but half the crop
is taken as tribute, be the crop good or bad
and no charge is carried over to another
year. Here the merchant tax-gather rolls
up bad years account upon good one,
and it hangs year after year until paid, or
wiped out some other way. The scalping
grog shops and tub mills that infest the
Southern country are innovations of the
past ten years, and until they are broken up
all the conventions on earth cannot remedy
existing evils. A thrifty river cotton
planter, working two hundred hands, reports
contentment on his place, because he allows
no hucksters there. Flat-boat and other
traders are only permitted at his place dur
ing the Christmas holidays. At all other
times the sale of luxuries, except tobacco,
is strictly forbidden; there is not work.

Notes and Notions.

AUGUSTA (Ga.) Chronicle Z" II Is not too
much TO say that If the Presidential election
were to take place now, the democrats would

A NEW YoRK letter says the increased
watchfulness over bank clerks, cashiers,
statesmen and other young fellows employed
down town, "has about ruined the business
Of the gamblers in that CITY,"
II is singular that the Southern fire-eaters
are so anxious to keep "the worthless ne
gre" that they patrol the river banks, and
threaten steamboat men who carry the shift

The United States must act as guardian
TO the states to keep off yellow fever and

THE Meriden (NIiss.) Mercury claims that
at least one-half of the Southern cotton crop

and it urges that il the negroes were re-

of the field by natural repugnauce to come
in contact with negro labor.
CHICAGO Tribune: If Hayes keeps on
fighting the Southern brigadiers in Congress,
and continues to give such good reasons for
the faith that is in him. he may yet become
the candidate of the stalwart wing of the
party in 1880. True, he declined second
