: Last May, while taking Turkish bath at Z Bea-
con street. young man employed there by the name
of William Corbctr induced Inc to allow him to APP
ply preparation that he had upon me. assuring me
That 1t was perfectly harmless, and for certain
consideration he would cure me within thirty days
from the time he commenced. III case he fai led to
do so was TO pay him rothng. ] consented. and
he applied 1t nearly every day for five weeks, when
the disease entirely disappeared very cheerfully
paid him the amount agreed upon, and then asked
him what this remedy was, and he replied that 1t
was no other than CUTICCRA.
Since that lime have had no trouble from this
disease and have not had such good health in TWEEN
ty years as have had during the last six months.
Ilave since my recovery bought CUTICURA and
given 1t to friends suffering with SKIN diseases, aud
in every instance Ii has cured them. believe IT to

WATER SUPPLY.

There is nothing more physically enjoyable and
invigorating Ito most constitutions than an early
morning walk into the suburbs where the air is
fresh and balmy. And next to that is a ride on
horseback or in q carriage. We paid q visit to
the new reservoir at Waikiki ono morning last
week before six O'Clock, and we recommend to
our readers who wish to enjoy az constitutional
and at the same time inspect a valuable public
improvement, to 60 and do likewise.
The new reservoir is situated on a rising
ground at the entrance Of the Makiki valley, to
the eastward Of Punchbowl, distant about two
miles from KaHaiahao Church and three-quarters
Of mile maukG, or inland, from the line Of Bere-
tania street, above which it has an elevation OF
one hundred and twenty-six feet, and one humid
red and ffty-two feet above the sea level. The
walls Of tile reservoir are strongly built Of stone
and mortar, about four feet in thickness. outside
Of which is a solid em~bankment Of earth and
stones some fifteen feet broad in addition to
which, as an element Of strength, the bottom Of
the reservoir is sunk considerably below the sur
face Of the ground, so that there can never be any
danger Of q breakage. Native land and water
rights in the valley nave been acquired by the
government to an extent which ensures a good
supply of water, and it is the intention, in time,
to secure the whole of the valley by purchase
a present, n considerable rivulet is running
down the valley and past the reservoir, which,
when utilized, will be amply sufficient to I'LL and
keep it full. The capacity of this reservoir is
seven hundred and twenty-five thousand gallons,
or about twenty-four thousand barrels. That of
the present Nuuanu valley reservoir is three hun
dred thousand gallons, and the proposed new
Nuunnn reservoir, Ito be commenced very short

Dowsger Emma) will contain about 100000
gallons. The pipes from the three reservoirs viii
be so arranged that they may be connected, in
case of a fire in the city, so that IN such an
emergency oEsr a million gallons of water
would be available for the use Of the Fire Depart
ment. (And here we would remark that it is
the duty Of every householder who has a water
right on his premises, to see to it that all water

A PUBLIC WANT.

Honolulu needs q good hall for public purposes,
such as concerts, lectures, meetings Of the
citizens, balls and fairs, and perhaps for excep-
tional theatrical performances-althOugh the
latter, as a general thing, should for obvious
reasons be restricted to q building especially de-
signed for that purpose. In n city OF fifteen
tbousand inhabitants, and in a fair way of con-
siderabIy adding to our population. we are at
present quite destitute OF any one om,-outside
Of places Of religious worship,-that can COM
fortably contain say five hundred people. The
Lyceum, which IS private property and conse-
quently not always to be hired, is not large
enough and the little Theatre which was built
about thirty years ago and has served its time, is
so old and shaky that many people are timorous
of risking themselves within it's walls and the
theatre going public of this city is now double
what it was in 1S49.
What is wanted is a good sized public hall
that shall be the property Of the people. We do
not propose the getting up of a company with
any idea Of profit or speculation, so that money
NAV be made for stockholders-there is no money
in it but We believe that if the matter were
vigorously taken in hand by influential and pub
lic-spirited citizens, a sufficient amount could be
raised by voIuntc-y subscriptions, and supple
mented by a conditional grant by the Legislature,
to ensure the necessary means for the purchase Of
a lot and the erection of ball, which should be
not only a great public convenience but a credit
to our citizens and an ornament to our city.
From SO, 600 to so, 900 would be required for
a brick building, with a hall capable of COM
fortably seating from eight hundred to one thou
sand persons. In view of any such projected
public enterprise, it must be remembered that no
time should be lost in procuring a suitable site
for such n building, for the reason that tho prices
Of eligibly situated building lots in the city are
not likely to depreciate during the coming
years, but on the contrary are likely to rise in
value.
We repeat, that We should infinitely prefer
that the Honolulu City Hall of the future
should belong, not to C. body of stockholders, but
to the public at large and be dedicated to their
uses, so that each citizen may feel that he has a
personal interest in the building. Its immediate
care and control could be placed in the hands of
q committee Of citizens or q board of trustees,
elected from the subscribers, who would be the
corporate owners-for some such body would be
necessary to attend to business details.
We need a public hall. Shall we have one?
And how soon? These suggestions are here
thrown out-like bread cast upon the waters
with the hope that ere many days they may re-
turn to US enlarged upon. much improved, and
tending towards a practical result.

"THE CRY is, still they come =" Five hundred
and ffty-two Chinese have arrived at this port
daring the week, by the steamer CassaHdrd and
other arrivals, and it is reported that three more
vessels are to follow in the same business, one Of
which is already On the way with two hundred
and t~hirty-six passengers. At this rate of Chi
nese immigration from China itself-together
with tie swarms that the Kearney policy will
eject from California-our estimate of last week
of between two and three thousand per annum
will prove considerably below the numbers that
may be expected, and we shall become a Chinese
colony before we are aware Of it. There were
actually fifteen women among the arrivals this
week l-one woman to thirty-four men. And so
the abomination accumulates. The agricultural
portion of the community-by which We mean
those directly interested in sugar growing-have
regarded this Chinese immigration with favor, as
it signifed more labor and increased production
OF our principle staple and being of the opinion
that a numerous immigration Of Chinese would
tend to cheaper labor, they were prepared to ex-
pect a decline in wages. But we are informed
that the new arrivals generally decline to work
on sugar plantations, having previously engaged
with the rice planters their own countrymen. And
in this connection it may be remarked, that the
wages now paid to laborers on sugar plantations
-SI4 to S1S per month with food, &c.-are
higher than can well be afforded.
