4 SPECULATION RUrNED-The regulations al the
port of San Francisco in regard to the arrival of pas
sengers from abroad are SO strict, that the business of
bringing prostitutes from China has been very much
checked of late. Some months since q Chinese woman Of
that city, the keeper Of 8 noted bagnio, proceeded TO
Hongkong for the supposed purpose of obtaining recruits.
INSTEAD however Of returning direct by steamship to San
Francisco, she took passage at Hongkong for Honolulu,
in the bark HsrmiHs, for herself and her proteges, two
young half-grown Chinese girls. Here the plan was to
embark on the Honolulu steamer for the ultimate destin-
alton, arriving there by which vessel the surveillance OF
the police would be avoided. Meantime the HeTmins was
detained in quarantine, snd.at its termination q Chinese
resident, wanting a wife, proposed to the woman in
charge of the girls TO marry the oldest, a healthy looking
damsel of about fourteen. The old lady would consent,
provided she was reimbursed the amount expended for
passage, etc, which was stated at $3.50. The amorous
Celestial agreed to pay the sum, and was making prepa-
rations to receive his bride, when the steamer from Aus
tralia coming in, he found the duenna and her two
charges had embarked thereon for San Francisco. At an
interview on board, the girl expressed her willingness to
stay, but madam wanted 500 in cash before she would
give up her claim. The Chinaman however was equal TO
the occasion, and taking legal advice got out a warrant for
the woman for abduction. and all the parties were taken
from the steamer and lodged in the Station House. The
result will be that the smorous child Of the Flowery
Kingdom will get his bride; the procuress will be pre-
scented for the crime st the Supreme Court; and her lit
tie speculation via Honolulu will be ruined

-INsrRucr1oNs TO meetip

Of the native voters of this district was called for Thurs.
dry evening last, at Kaumakapii church. for the under
stood purpose of instructing Representatives as to their
course in the coming session. There was less than a
hundred persons present at the meeting, and the only
Representative elect who put in an appearance was Mr..
Keau. A number of absurd and impossible propositions
were presented for the deputation to support. Some con-
siderable discussion was had, pro. and con. of q repeal
of the liquor law, and the vote of the meeting was that
it should be repealed. The people of Koolaupoko have
instructed to their representative TO oppose the repeal.

COMPLICATIONS WITH THE MAoRIs.-The New
Zealand government is still apparently on the brink of a
native war, on account of conhscated lands. The lands
in question were confscated formally some fifteen or
sixteen years ago, but never taken possession of. Re-
Gently however surveyors and road makers sent on the
land by government, were obstructed by bodies of ma
tives, and an armed force was sent to hold possession.
This is costing the Colony about $4,000 per month. So
far there has been no actual lighting, but both sides are
apparently making ready.

FIJI PLANTING AND COMMERCIAL DIRECTORY,
1879. 4 Handbook Of FIJI: Levuka, ovalau: Printed and
published by G. L. Grifiths, Beach street. THE foregoing
is the title of a pamphlet of some sixtypages for a copy
of which we are indebted to Mr.. T. g. Thrum, stationer
of this city. 1t contains much interesting matter, main
" with reference to agriculture, which however is at pres
ent but of sma all Importance in comparison with what it
promises to he in the future. The total value Of the do
nestle products exported in 1873, was 1864 ,537, of which
amount SOLO, $40 was represented by COpra; Slo3, 500 by
Cotton: and S93, 2O5 by Sugar. The area of land in the
group is stated at 1000, 600 acres, but we are not informed
how much Of this is available for cultivation. The yield
of Sugar is from three to four tons per acre. There are
about 1000 foreign residents, and 10 1000 natives, But
few of the latter are available for plantation labor, which
is mainly supplied from Western Polynesia, upwards Of
800 men having been imported from there in 1873.
Their yearly cost. per annum, including passage, is about
slO per head. A good portion Of the pamphlet before
us is taken up with estimates of what might be produced,
with a given amount of capital, in planting Cotton, Sugar
or Coffee, and most hattering results are shown on paper.
There can be no question however that Fiji is destined at
no distant day, to produce largely Of the articles named.

RELEAsED--Tbe Swedish bark Hermine which
arrived from Hongkong on the 2Sth ult. and was placed
in quarantine on account of having had a case of small
pox on board during the voyage, was released therefrom
on Monday last and was towed into port. The best of
care and precaution has been observed by the officers of
the Board of Health in regard to the destruction of any
clothing, &c. which might possibly conceal the con-
tagion. The sailor who had had the disease and who was
about convaIescent on the arrival of the vessel, has ever
since been at the quarantine station on the reef, as have
also the Chinese passengers. No signs whatever have
been detected of the appearance of the disease among the
latter, but in order to make assurance doubly sure,
the tabu on the reef will be continued for q few days
longer.

In A CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME.-Last Sunday
morning a large number of the recently arrived Gilbert Is
landers attended religious services at Rev. Mr.. Parkers
native church at Kawaiahao. After preaching in Hawai-
ian, the Rev. II. Bingham, who has lived in Micronesia
as a missionary, made an address to the strangers in their
own language, to which they listened with great appar-
et interest. Some of them it is stated, are from an ISL
and on which no teacher has ever landed, and.they there
fore heard the gospel for the 4rst time in q Hawaiian
Church. Thus the seed first sown here by the Mission
airy Fathers over fifty years sgo-bread cast upon the
waters-is now returning in a way little anticipated by
them or by those who sent them out from America.

Rich finds are being made Of gold
and silver. On the Gro Grands. ct

from 500 to $500 per ton in gold;
the Orc Elmo about the same, at q

There were three light shocks OF

Tombstone Mines.

From Mr.. B. B. Minor, who il in
the city Ell route To Tombstone, we
learn that the mining outlook In
southeastern Arizona was never
brighter than at the present mo.
ment. The principal claims al
Tombstone are producing largely
and each days development con-
firms the opinion expressed by
practical mining men that this
camp Is destined to BIO in the very
near future as popul0us and as
productive as Virginia City ever
was In the palmisst days Of the
Comst0ck lode. The formation
porphyry and lime--!s regarded by
old miners as emInently favorable
for rich deposits of horn .silv yer ore.
Nearly all the silver ores discov-
cred carry about $l2 per ton in
gold. In the Head Center mine
the gold il found in the shape OF
small fat pieces on the porphyry
wall rock of the vein. This il u
most interesting fact and goes to
prove the permanency of the
mines, showing, rs 1T does. that
| the gold has been brought to the
surface from q great depth by the
eruptive rocks, aud that the ifs
sures must .he correspondiDgly
deep. The Contention mine so far
| is the 'boss" mine OF the camp.
This mine was bought by w. e.
Dean and others of San Francisco
iU1S7s for $4,000. 1t has yielded
thus far over $1,5O0,00O and has 10
sight o.day in dividends over
$40, 100000. Its deepest shaft Is 2SO
feet and on this level the richest
ore has been found. 1t is without
exception the richest silver mine
In the world for the depth attained.
The company pays regular MONTH
~ dividends of $75, 900 and has just
treated Its lucky stockholders to a
Christmas dividend of $4,000
extra, payable to day. Tho div
idends since July, 1880, have
amounted to $525 per share
and the stock of 10000 shares ia
selling at the rate of $50 per share.
The original Investment was 10
cents per share. Mr.. Minor thinks
there are other chances in the
camp just as good. The Toughnut,
Grand Central, Wilma, Head Gen.
ter, Sunset and other mines are all
paying dividends or are on the point
Of paying, and 1t is o safe estimate
that Tombstone mines willshow d
product for 1881 Of $40, 600, 900 OF
over. The trade between Los An
geles and Tombstone has grown to
large dimensions. The markets OF
the camp are almost entirely sup
piled from this city, aud it is to be
hoped that our merchants may see
the advantage of securing Tomb
stone as q permanent customer
The people are all we'll disposed to
wards California, being for thu
most part old residents of the Coas
and will give our producers .th'
preference. Eastern merchants
however, are making desperate Of
forts to get the trade. but b!
prompt action and liberal dealing
on the part of California shippers
