Library and Reading Room Association.

During the brief time that this institution has
been in existence il has exhibited a degree OF spirit
and enterprise on the part Of its oGicers. and an
amount of vitality in the organization generally,
which has been quite u surprise TO the sleepy heads
among us. as well as to those constitutional croak-
ers who were quite confident that the whole thing
would 90 6zzle" in from six to twelve months. We
speak from personal knowledge when we say that
the present condition Of the society and its future
prospects are highly satisfactory and encouraging.
We also know from personal observation that Ii IL
constantly growing in favor, and that the number
Of those who avail themselves of It's advantages IL
steadily on the increase.
We fear however that there are still many per-
sons in the community who. from simple inertia
and Indifference, fail to appreciate the value OF the
facilities here provided. We wish TO remind such,
whether strangers or residents, that here is q COM
modious and cheerful reading room always open,
day and evening. every day in he year, Sundays
Included that it is regularly supplied with about
fifty of the best journals and periodicals from all
parts OF the world that there is a circulating

volumes and constantly increasing that n very
fair beginning has been made towards a library Of
reference that coDveniences for playing chess,
dominoes and other games are provided for men,

To the Editor Of MePdeiGc Commercial Advertiser:
SIR.-Four weeks ago | was enjoying the gener-
Gus hospitality of the planters of Kauai, the re-
membrance of which and OF The beautiful scenery
OF that island (Which | rode around as far as a horse
could travel) are i~ndetibly imprinted upon my
memory. The following notice, presumably Of
that island. may be Of interest to some OF my
friends on Kauai. 1t is copied UerLdtim ct titerdtim
from the ninth edition OF the Encyclopedias
Britannica" now in course OF publication
'ATooI, one OF the larger Sandwic Islands In
the South Pacific OCEAN. Towards the N. T.. and
n. w. the country is ragged and broken, but to
the southwark it is more lerel. The hills rise from
the sea with a gentle activity, aud at a little dis
lance back are covered with wood the central
peaks attain an elevation of 7. 900 feet. The chief
ports are Waimea aud Hanalei. The island was
one Of the stations chosen for the observation Of
the transit Of Venus in 1874. IL is nearly 40 miles
in length, and contains about 10, 900 Inhabitants.
Long. l59 40 W., LAT. II : 81 ~"
The article in the eighth edition OF the same
work is essentially the same, with the exception OF
some of the last sentences, mention Of Waimea and
Hanalei being absent. and the length Of the island
being given at 80 miles. Comment is superfuous.
Yours respectfully, RICHARD WEBB.

CHINESE VS.. SoUrH SEA IsLASDERs.-We learn
from the native newspaper PGs Alma. that on Sun
day last an ARRAY occurred at LAhainA between some
Chinese and the South Sea Islanders in the employ
of the Pioneer Mill. The trouble arose about q vege-
table garden. The Chinese made a rush with hoes,
but the Islanders rallied with stones, which they
threw with accuracy, compelling the Celestials to re-
treat in doors, with bloody noses. First blood for
the Islanders. The Overseer and the engineer Of the
plantation coming on the field Of battle, restored
peace.

Nh. EDIToR:-AlloW me 10 ask through the
columns of your valuable paper if it is not with feel
ings Of pride that our citizens point to the fact Of our
possessing, among other satellites which revolve
round the Department of the Interior, one, whose
office was created solely with regard to the public
benefit, and the incumbent Of which was supposed to
be possessed of sufficient brains TO allow him to fill
the Office of and perform the duties connected there
with with some degree Of capability. The Office 10
one capable of contributing greatly to the public
health aud benefit, and when filed by an incompe-
tent, negligent or careless person, rejects greatly up
on those having the appointment to this particular
Office in their power. The most potent, grave and
many titled parsonage at present attempting to gil
tho position of Road Supervisor, might be named
with feelings of pride and pleasure by his immediate
friends and coadjutors, but the good opinion Of the
public has not been strengthened by the mass Of
mud which is laid on the roadbeds and on the side
walks during and after the late rain storms, render
ing foot travel almost improbable, and dangerous to
the safety Of light wagons. The repairs Of the roads
have been attempted at great expense. and when
the labor of months, paid for by taxes drawn from
the people, make no better showing than that lately
presented in our streets, il is in my humble opinion,
high time for the head Of the Department having
this appointment under control to take such action
as will place a more competent person, even IL not
encountered with so many titles, in the Office of Road
Supervisor, VNDKx.

FROM KAU.-A correspondent writing from this
extreme part Of Hawaii says : With occasional
good rains, we have fine weather here, but end it
quite cold mornings and evenings. We had a
rough passage up, and a rougher one from South
point (where the steamer landed us) to this place.
People who were at Kaalualu say it would have
been better landing there than at South point In
fact they were surprised when the steamer went
by, for she did not go near enough to the land to
get into smooth water. 1t puts the community up
here in a fix when she goes by. for they are left
short OF hard poi, and it ruins it to leave it at ka-
awaloa for a schooner to bring,-if she should hap
pen to come along. The fact is that our old coast
ing captains, like -, who know the coast
thoroughly, have left the coasting business to new
men, and this is to the detriment of steamer owners
and residents here. But we cannot blame the new
Captains for being timid, when they are not well
posted as to the coast, anchorages, &c"
