R Capt. E. C.. Wentworth, master of the brig
n. ". Lucas, writes from Honuapo. Hawaii, July
10th, as follows: 81 have just finished discharg-
ing q cargo of lumber here. Have discharged 60 NJ
feet in one day, and the whole cargo in seven days.
/ heard so much said about the place before L came here
that 1 was agreeably surprised to find not only good
holding ground, but a good landing, with care and
without carelessness safe at all times. Through you
many thanks to Mr.. c. N. Spencer for hospitality, not
forgetting Mr.. Joy, who has charge of the landing ut
AHonuapo."
GETTING TAx.-For years past it has been the prac-
tice of the police of this city, at about a stated season
to make q raid upon the dogs that were not provided
with tags. The CANNES were kept in the station
house yard for a day or so. and then if unclaimed

they were shot and put out of the way. The present
year however there appears to have been an entire
neglect in this particular, and the dogs to be seen on
the streets without tags decidedly outnumber those
that are provided with the once-deemed magic tails
mau.
DooMED-Keliihanaiwi Davis, the native woman
indicted and found guilty of the murder OF Akela q
Chinaman ut Wailuku, and John Brown, a foreigner
who murdered n shipmate on board the Moro Castle.
were brought before his Honor Chief Justice Harris
on Monday the Dist inst, and by him sentenced to
receive the extreme penalty OF the law-death by
hanging. The days set for the law to take its course
! are, for the woman on the last Friday in October and
for the man the second Friday in November. In an
| other column of to-days issue will be found q COM
plete transcription of the language used by the Judge
in passing sentence on the unfortunate prisoners.
We RESPOND WHEN DUTY CAIIs(?)-The alarm
of fire sounded by the bell at the police station on
/ last Wednesday morning, did not disturb the slum-
bers of our. brave fireman in the least, as aside
from the Chinese Company, only one foreigner re-
sponded to the alarm, and be belonged to the Hook
and Ladder Company. OF course every one con-
nected with the Department, will undoubtedly pass
in the zines incurred by such absence. and as all
are guilty of a grave dereliction of duty, it would
also be in order for them to be censured by those
who rely upon their assistance upon such occasions
and they, are the general public.
= AN ACCIDENTAL IScIDENT.-The Likelke's last
trip to windward became the occasion for the &C.
touring of an accident which cannot but be hailed
with Joy by all who have the welfare of the Haw-
allan nation at heart. The incident was one OF
those accidental ones which in its fruition cause
feelings OF gratefulness TO pervade the breasts OF
those Immediately concerned, and the oftener oc-
curence of such incidents whether on land or sea,
would assist greatly in solving q problem which
has occupied the attention not only of individuals
kbut of the country at large. Brevity allows only
the statement that the child is Of the gentler sex,
and with its native mother is doing well.

yiate one of the ills which we are heir to during the
prevalence Of high winds and dry weather, and that
by the introduction of street sprinklers, which will
it ia to be hoped, performed their work in a satisfact-
DRY manner and keep down the dust. Some years
ago Neptune was laid under tribute, but our new
Reservoir will enable US to call on the Nsiades who
will undoubtedly contribute in a generous manner
to relieve the discomforts of us mutable mortals.
Petitions have been circulated and the required numy

All the necessary preparations are under way, and
the watering carts will soon be in motion.
o. THE WAvE.-The new schooner Malolo. for
Cooke & Co., which arrived from Port Ludlow for
that firm lately, was the centre Of attraction for q
coterie of connoisseurs on last Saturday afternoon, |
the occasion being q proposed trip of the schooner to
show her qualities as q saiier and sea boat. At 2
O'Clock Mr.. Wilcox gave the word for the invited
ones to step on board, and in q few moments after
wards the lines were cast of and the trip commenced.
The route extended nearly to Coco Head and back,
ana as there was O sun breeze blowing at the time,
and a heavy swell on, the Maloio had an opportu-
nifty to display her good qualities, which she did in a
manner that satisfied all that she sailed like o duck,
and was (fke the party) dry as q powder-horn."
+ THE NATIVES ScoURGE-Tbat dread disease, the
measles, whose ravages in past years assisted SO much
in decimating the native population Of these islands,
aud whose unWelcome presence is now amongst us,
has so far proven less fatal in its effects than on pre-
yious visits, and with continued care and caution
there are strong hopes of it being 20 isolated that is
baneful effects may be productive OF naught injurious
to the masses at large. The instructions printed in
native. and circulated by order of the Board Of
Health, have greatly assisted in overcoming the sup
erstitious dread with which the natives formerly re-
garded this contagion, and their advanced knowledge
enables them to profit by the advice so seasonably
and wisely given. 1t is hoped that the further stay
of this very unwelcome visitor will be Of short dura-
ton. At the present time there are hundreds of
cases, but the exact number is not known.
