SATURDAY. JULY "a.
BRIEF MENTION.
s- For full report of the Legislative pro-
ceedings, see supplement-.
- In noticing improvements on this street, we
cannot pass unobserved the tasty sign lettered
over the gate of the Hawaiian Theological Seminary
q Vessels due at this port fromiSan Francisco
in all next week, will be the Discovery, w.
a. Meyer, Eureka, Starlight and q. W. Almy.
Three cases of gin and three cases of brandy
were shipped to Mr.. Ah Sam, Lahaina, per steamer
Likelike, July goth, and this is said to be his regu-
lar weekly allowance.
@-A fine wooden building, on Punchbowl
street. is now near its completion, and will be a
rarity in that portion of the city. 1t is understood
to be the prospective residence OF Mr.. Chnlan.
e. Almost everything under the Sun is now
supposed to be more Influenced by his spots and
Prof. Jevons has found out a relationship between
sun-spots and social panics. Perhaps they are
what are effecting the Gazette.

pray reconsider your votes. If no appropriation is
made. the Park cannot be carried on. Why did not
the Ministry advocate the measure as beneficial to
the country.
q The two boys who were lately tried before
the Police Court on a charge of common nuisance
and SENTENCED to six months imprisonment by that
tribunal, had the sentence COMMITTED to two
months on appeal to the Supreme Court.
SAD ACCIDENTAL Paliuli, Hamakuapoko, Maui,
the two youngest sons of Mr.. VIM. Smith, of that
place, accidentally spilled over themselves the boil
ing contents of a teapot, by which they were so
badly scalded that death ensued on the evening fol-
lowing.
q The moonlight concert given by the Band at
Emma Square on last Wednesday evening, the 21st
inst, nnder the direction of Professor Berger, afford
ed lovers of music an opportunity to indulge in
music's sweet and soothing strains by the sweet sill
very light of the moon.
The weather certainly continues to be very
unusual for this time of the year, there having been
scarcely a night during the past week wherein copi-
Gus showers have not fallen and on the evening Of
the concert given by Miss Montague the travel was
much impeded by the rain that fell.
q Why is the Legislative Assembly like
necessity? See answer in Saturdays ADVERTISER

ANSWER: Not because it is the mother of inven-
ton. For such an answer would certainly apply
with more truth to our neighbor.-Nexti
- For our part we shall be very glad when
the Gazette sees fit TO cease throwing mud. We
have before indicated our want of desire to enter
into such a game. But with its usual inconsistent
cy it has forgotten its own alledged indispositiOn to
enter into mud warfare. A glance down the same
column will show what the disposition is.
u The Attorney Generals liquor bill, which
was supposed to meet all the wants ofthe Hawaii
ans, was before the House on Thursday last. The
first section was, however, speedily rejected, and
the next motion was made by His EXcellency to
indefinitely postpone the remainder of the bill, to
which there was no opposition.
MUsIc-The Band will play this afternoon at
Emma Square, at half-past 4 o'clock. The follow
ing is the programme
March-The .Kuhner
Overture-The Vestale "spOntini

STILL THEY COME. - Per steamer Ho ChUng
now due from China, we are to have another ada
ton to our population in the way OF five hundred
cinnamon which have taken passage by her. Does
nobody yet see any danger ahead from these ac-
cessions to our population. 1t is high time that
citizens were making some sort of effort to have
this iniquitY stopped as in this matter it is :" now
or never"
- The bill to amend Article 60 Of the Con
stitution, relating to election of representatives,
and which sought TO make the term extend over a
period of eight years instead of two years was re-
jected. A still further amendment to substitute
- four :" for g two y eventually passed. Even
should this meet with royal approval. it will re-
quire to pass the Sc ssion Of 1882, before becom-
ing a law, so that virtually the Act could not pos
sibly take effect until 1886.

ven. Comm contains a vast amount of useful in
formation, so tabulated as to make it a hand book
worthy OF the attention of all. In regard 10 the
energy and enterprise that has been required in its
compilation. nothing can better establish its repu-
tation then a glance at its pages and we can
honestly recommend il as an invaluable reference
to those wishing for information as 20 where they
may advertise to the best account.
Miss AYLETT's SCHooL-An examination of this
growing institution will take place on the goth
inst in Madame Christmas school room on Fort st,
and an exhibition on the 3lst inst, at the same
place. The exhibition will consist of singing, dia-
logues, speeches, &C., and the price OF admission
will be so cents. The receipts will go towards en-
larging Miss Aylett's own school. AS this school
numbers more than a hundred scholars and exists
without any aid from the Board of Education. it
deserves the consideration and help of all.
