BARRIER SHOPS MUST BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY.-We
are requested 10 say that the authorities have de-
iermiuce that hereafter all the barber shops in
Honolulu shall be closed on Sunday. By kind of
sutfrrauce BARRIERS have been permitted to ply their
oceu pations on Sunday in open violation of a law
which prohibits the carrying on the secular employ
meuts, on the first day Of the week commonly
called Sunday This was AL wrong and it is but
right and proper that the law should be enforced
against BARRIERS as well as all other persons The
law TO be respected must be impartial both in letter.
spirit and execution. Aside FROM the moral aspect
OF the case BARRIERS are human beings, aud are

class of citizens and therefore should not be com

Capt W. Godfrey, belonging 10 Messrs. T. R.

inst, making the passage from San Francisco in 10
days and - hours The James Makee is fine YES

Length over all III feet, beam &c feet, depth of
hold 81 feet aud her tonnage is Ia Q. s. measure
ment. She is provided with compound engines of
| Il and 20 in cylinders, and is apropeller. The
only incident OF the passage at all worth noticing is
the fact that all the fanges fiukes of her pro-
p=er bat one were broken off when she arrived in
[ Honolulu harbor. This accident is supposed TO
have occurred short time after leaving the heads
