TIE CLEANLINESS OF THE CfTY.-It is said with
great TRUTH that cleanliness is next to goodness"
but this aphorIsm Is too oflen, If not always, ap-
piled TO persons, whereas it is alike applicable TO
places Qocalities) We have heard il remarked by
several persons lately that Honolulu is clean CITY,
but If any one curious TO verify the opposite fact,
will take the trouble TO walk along the Esplanade
wharf of q morning or evening, and take few
willis of the efiuvia arising from the mountain of
efeie matter deposited In that deectabe locality,
be will soon become convinced that Honolulu is
very far from being either clean q healthy city.
The locality speak of has been made the deposit
tory for all the reeking filth of the city, including
numberless poisone dogs and mass of unhealthy
offall which with the action of the water, the at
mosphere at night, and the hot rays of the sun
during the day, causes decomposition TO go on
with great rapidity, sending up stencil of I'M
healthy gases that be productive of any hing
else but disease aud death. When we take into ac-
count the fact, that for months the winds have pre-
vailed from the South and Southeast, sending this
poisoned efuvia back into the city and carrying it
up the valleys to the base of the mountain,
we have q complete explanation for the prevalence
OF the fever in the heretofore more healthy-be-
cause of being higher-localities And yet with all
this light on the subject, the sapient Board of
Health of this Inflated city, has not seen the ne
cessity of adopting one of the most effective meth
DDS of counteracting the unwhoesome atmosphere
by fumigatng it with tar smoke in the places where
the disease has its origin and breeding place. Ii is
painfully evident, we think, that ''none so
blind those who will not see" and the Board of
Health seem TO be so blind or ignorant not to
perceive that which every Intelligent citizen Sees
Knows, and talks about In every quarter OF the city,
There is fearful accountability resting somewhere,
and prone TO believe a very large share OF 1t
rests at the door of the Board of health OF Homo
lulu.

ALONG THE WHARP.-Monday morning we took
a short stroll along the wharf and were pleased to
note the unusual activity among the shipping
What with coasting steamers and schoouers load
ing and unloading cargoes, and foreign ships OF all
denominations and sizes, We could not help feeling
grateful to see many busy men at work and the
evidences Of heslibful trade going on. We're It
not for the light winds which prevailed during
the past two or three weeks, we would have wit
messed still buster scenes on the wharves but even
II is the activity and business hum noticed on
the occasion of this visit, was calculated to give
heart and hope, TO see all who love TO men en-
gagged in the active pursuits of busy life. When
we reflected also upon the great increase of susi-
ness our wharves within the past two years AID
tine prospect of still greater Increase in the near
future, by the establishment of line of China
steamers in prospect, We said 10 ourselves,-truly
there is in store for Honolulu and these Islands
future big with promise for Hawaii nei- II is
only necessary for this Government 10 avail itself
of every chance presented of eularging the of
It's commercial relations with the outside world, to
reap rich reward for lberality and forecast, that
will astonish the most apathe,ic among us.

4AE ANGEL OF OEAIH.-OurlnR the past week
the Angel OF Death has visited number OF families
in this city, aud has stricken down the young, the
middle aged and the aged. and in his visitation has
been no resPector of persons. Within few months
quite number of our best and most worthy citizens
have been removed from the places that knew them
aud the friends who loved them, to that better
land beyond this vale of tears and 1t is sad
10 reflect that among the list just mentioned We
have been called upon to mourn the loss not only
Of the good and wise, but some of the best aud
DUst energetic of our business men, whose loss
cannot easily be supplied. Among them We regret
TO record the name Of John D. Brewer, OF the house
Of c. Brewer Co., Of this city, whose death occur
red at bis residence Nuuanu street on the 18th
inst Tie late Mr.. Brewer was citizen of great
worth and highly esteemed in this community for
his many sterling qualities. His death at SO early
age, for be was but young man, is positive
loss TO the community but 10 his stricken wife aud
children IT is an irreparable loss. May he "who
iempers the winds 10 the shorn lambs " pour con-
ISOLATION into the wounded hearts of the bereaved
widow and fAtherless children. as well as into the
hearts Of his other relatives by whom be was be-
loved in life aud will be lameuted now that he is no
more among men, The late Mr.. Brew er fell vic
tim to the fever now desolAting SO many house
holds IN this community after protracted illness
OF some weeks. His youth and manly vigor strug-
gled long with the Destroyer, but at last had to
succumb for his hour Of departure bad come-the
fat had gone forth and the Angel of Death bore his
spirit 10 land Of light, beaiitude and rest He
like many more Of citizens was stricken down
In the full Tigor OF his manhood and thus another
void has been made in the thinned and thinning
ranks of our people. Such scenes as we have faint
iy outlined calculated to admouish those Of us
who are spared of the uncertainty of life and the
certainly of death. and should teach Us the neces
siiy Of making our peace with him, who rule.h and
reigneih for ever and ever, the same interchangeable
God over all.
Truly, =. The spiders most atteuuated thread
Is cord It's cable 10 mans tender tic
That breaks at every breeze"
.sWko can boast of tomorrow" is q pertinent
question at such time and under such trying
circumstances as those by which this community
Is at present surrounded. Life at best is but a
struggle and when we least expect IL, the Angel OF
Death demands our exit and his dread summons
all must obey.
.God moves in q mysterious way,
His wonders TO perform.
BE plants His footsteps In the sea
And rides upon the storm.
His purposes are ripening fast
Improving every hour;
The bud may have bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
Blind unbeiief Is SIRE IN err,
And scan his works In vain;
God is his own Interpreter,
And he will make Is plain"

CHRISTMAS sroRrs.-By reference to our adver-
Using columns it win be that there is quite
programme OF sports provided for Christmas day,
in the way of swimming matches, &c, in which the
young folks may have the most ample opportunity
TO indulge in their favort- pasttime. We easily
imagine how much real fun may be had BY large
turn out and liberal participation in the swimming
matches on Christmas day. Here is chance for
the best swimmers and divers of both sexes TO show
what they can do in the water and we anticipate
rare treat on that occasion. Let there be a large
turnout. and hearty cooperation in the athletic
sports on Christmas day.

THE HEALTH OF HoSoLULU.-The ravages of the
fever undated aud still the same apathy seems
10 pervAde the Health Department. Victims are
borne 10 their graves daily and cases occur
ring hourly. aud still there is no move towards ar
resting the progress of the disease. There is gross
criminal neglect somewhere which it behooves our
citizens to notice in some public and emphatic man
ner. The excuse OF the Board of Health that they
have authority to step outside beaten track is
no excuse at all. The exegencies of the case and
the deadly nature of the pestence that is decima-
ting the population is warrant sufficient for the
most extreme measures on the part OF the Board Of
Health, aud TO halt longer in the performance of
plain duty to the people is nothing less than crimi
nal. The public health should not be trihed with
and nthose composing the Board of Health do not
feel themselves competent to the task in this trying
emergency they should vocate their places and let
other citizens tep in who would at least make an
efJr to reform the pre.ent unhealthy condition Of
The city, and abate the many nusances that are SO
prevalent Reconstruction In this business is
inviting death into every family. delays are al
ways dangerous" aud therefore prompt action is
demanded by the crying needs of the people Of this
city under present circumstances
