WI copy in another column some inter
csting particulars about Acheen (Or Achinj,
a country i'm the northern part Of the great
island Of Sumatra. This little state was
under the protection Of England, ever since
the days Of Queen Elizabeth till 1873, when
the British Government traded of their
Achinese friends TO the Dutch Govern
ment, in exchange for the suzerainty OF the
Ashantee country as England wanted to
strengthen her dominion on the continent
Of Africa aud Holland wished to do the
same in Malaysia. This event and the war
of Acheen against the Dutch was discussed
by the NuIou in April eth, 1874,
the editor then saying; ''That was a
.disgraceful trade, and the two Chris
tian countries engaged, will pay dearly for
it." They both got wars on their hands,
on account Of this swap hat cost millions Of
dollars each, and much blood ; and the end
Of the retributiOn is yet far off. \ Singa-
pore paper (Strdits Times said i'm 1874, that
their Government had done "a beastly
queer thing" in surrendering their old
allies. And now the same paper dated
July - 1851, gives Us some particulars
which thinking people of this kingdom
must read with deep interest, as having a
bearing upon the Chinese immigration
question, in which we are so much in
terested.
The Malays of Acheen waged a bitter
war with the Netherlands India Govern
ment for the maintenance of their indepen-
dence. They put on the "white robe OF
death;" and As 4 correspondent stated at
the time, "they threw themselves into the
Jaws of DEATH" And when the Achinese
were driven out of their towns and fertile
plains, and when their Sultan had surren-

JURY DUTY is an obligation which falls
upon all citizens alike, who are duly quail
fled and there should be no discrimination
exercised by those having charge of the
selection of persons for this duty.
But it has been somewhat a practise in
this country to call jurymen who were sup
posed to be in harmony with the views of
those in authority and on some of the
islands lawyers associated with the authOri-
ties have been enabled to make up a list of
jurymen whom they knew to be in SYM
pathy with the causes they had in hand.
Such a vicious practise has, perhaps, not
been exercised i'm this city but it must be
said, that there seems to be n singular dis
elimination in the selection of jurymen
here some Of the same names appear
again and again as though the intelligent
portion of our taxpayers, fitted to be jury
men, furnished a very limited number for
selection II that this limited number
embraced pretty much the whole of the
ADVERTISER Office. The intelligence and
the ability of the printers of this establish
ment to act as jurymen, has been largely
recognised inasmuch as during the pre-
sent management, there have been called
at four several courts held here -three,
four, ana on one OCCASION I'VE OF It's men,
including the foreman, to attend n jury
duty. This must be esteemed no doubt, a
compliment to the general intelligence of
the establishment ; but the ADVERTISER
would be glad to nave its neighbors share
these honors, and will not be jealous or
complain, should its neighbor the bank be
called upon in the occasion of some future
court to SEND five of its attaches, including
the managing partner. to do jury duty.
WHEN His Majesty the King was in the
capital Of Japan, he ordered to be presented
to the great Shintomiza Theatre, thai can
seat 5000 people, n beautiful drop curtain
of crimson velvet, with the Hawaiian coat
of-arms embroidered in gold in the centre,
with inscriptions that set forth the royal
donor, and his kingdom.
What an advertisement of our little
country, in that great empire, is this drop
curtain ? The multitudes of Kioto assem-
BILE in this great theatre, not only to look
upon exhibitions of Japanese. mimic art;
but also to listen at times to Christian
teachers and as they gaze during the
periods of intermission upon the name, and
blazonry of King Kalakaua and his king
dom, what feelings of interest and curiosity
must be evoked and what prestige for
little Hawaii, thus promoted by the in
telligent courtesy of her thoughtful and
patriotic chief abroad

dered, the people led by a dowager Sultana,
one of the noble and heroic women that
the MalayO Polynesian races have 50 often
produced, prolonged a fierce war of des-
pcratiOn in the mountains. However the bit
teTend Of ~suLjugation came at last; but only
after the most terrible d~epopulation of a
country that has occurred in modern times.
The ~SOl0-aGuyu COUrqHt, an official paper
Of Java, tells us that a population of 100000
souls at the beginning Of the war, had been
reduced at its close to $4,000! \ loss of a
quarter of a million Of people out of a little
territory about the area of the island of
Kauai!
But a very small proportion of this enor-
nous loss of people were destroyed in the
battles fought, multitudes persisted on
account of exposure and starvation INC
a certain portion took refuge in the adj
jacent countries, and left their own fertile
and well cultivated country an utter
wilderness.
This all occurred i'm the interest of mate
rial progress, and to promote European en-
terprises in sugar, coffee, and spices. But
after the European Christian Government
had established order in Acheen, it had a
desert on its hands; and with a view to pro-
mote its development" it imports ship
loads of Cinnamon. And now, the re-
naming Achinese putting forth some
lingering struggles of desperation, make
incessant forays upon the Chinese cult
vators and the new planters of Acheen
cannot hope for permanent peace, till the
old native population of the country is vir-
tually annihilated.
What u work for an enlightened
European Government 4! To exterminate
a fine aboriginal population, in order to
replace them with gangs of mere hands,
who will it is expected more profitably
produce certain staples. But Holland is
now compelled, we learn, to keep up a
costly military establishment in Sumatra,
that eats up many fold the profit of her
industrial enterprises and her wicked lust
after territory has, so far, only resulted in
terrible losses, and great infamy of national
character. The conquest and extermina-
ton of the Achinese is one of the most
atrocious political crimes of this century
and comparatively more flagitious than the
partition and defamation of Poland.

~ F. F. Porter, Esq, the manager of the
Spreckels Plantation on Maui, has been very
seriously injured by a discharge Of giant powder
whilst fishing. His right hand above the wrist
has been torn off, his arm badly lacerated, and is
so much injured in the face, as to be threatened
with the loss of his eyesight. We hope this
very active and capable gentleman may be saved
from the latter infection. What a number of
sad accidents have occurred in this country, in
consequence of the careless or mistaken use of
dynamite ? The Kona district of Hawaii has
gained n pre-eminence for accidents of this kind;
and over a score Of one armed men; who belong
to, or hail from that district have lost an arm
by giant powder. But every island can show a

of giant powder in fishing, he is also breaking

"Catholicus - comments severely upon the
can't and humbug in our midst, that holds up
pious hands at prayer-meetings, and ye. - allowed
an estlmable lady to wander about alone, who
had declared her intention to do away with
herself. And why was a post mortem examina-
ton ordered in a similar case not long ago and
not in this instance ?"
There IL, no doubt, somebody to blame in this
matter-the death of Mrs. Smith but we cannot
agree with our correspondent in denouncing a
numerous society for the poor lady untimely
departure. OF course those who knew her in her
prosperous days on earth, and shared in her
society and hospitality, have much to answer for
in allowing the bereaved woman TO wander about
IN a demented state, and, as was we'll known
threatening self-destruction. We do not think
the authorities, themselves, can answer the latter
question.

THE dispropOrtion of the sexes, the great
excess of males over females, is the crying
evil of this Kingdom. In 4 population of
about $4,000, we AVE ut least $1,000 more
adult males than females. 1t is the duty of
n native Sovereign seeking the welfare of
the Hawaiian people, and of a Hawaiian
Government striving to promote the peace
and welfare of the country, tn make every
reasonable effort to bring about as near as
possible an equalization of the sexes.
Money spent on the importation of women,
will diminish the cost of expenditure on
the police force. 4 community that has
three men to one woman, will require a
larger police force, than one Ofthe same num-
bers, where the sexes are equal. Drunken
ness and dissolute conduct is now the order of
the day in many localities in this kingdom;
because there are no homes and cannot
be because there are no women. What
must be the state of society on a plantation
that has 200 men, and perhaps at the most
Christian society in such a state of affairs.
There may be some outward show of order;
but the quarters of such an establishment
must be dens of pollution.
The planters say they cannot afford to
import women, who cannot and will not
work in the fields, and who have to be fed
and clothed at plantation expense.
Planters ought to see their interest in the
better order that would ensue i'll con-
equence of the presence of a sufficiency of
women to become helpmeets for all their
men. However, we will not argue this
question with the planters at this time /;
but will say that it is the imperative duty
of the Government to provide more women
for the population of the country. And all
foreign single men in the kingdom-our
Mongolians especially, should be assisted to
get their wives out here with them. And
it will be a proper and legitimate object of
a loan to borrow money for the importation
of women. In Government could very
properly borrow half a million dollars to
assist the immigration of women into this
kingdom.

a OF the course Of study for
the public English schools Of the Hawaiian
Kingdom" recently published by the Edu-
cation Department, awakens some refiec-
lions on n subject which has for a long
time past received but too little attention
from those whose office and study it is to
form the minds Of Hawaiian youth,
whether Of native or of foreign blood. We
aIlude to the relations which the indivi-
dual bears to the constituted authority of
the state Of which he forms a unit. This
neglect is not a thing which we can charge
specially to the instructors Of the young
il is shared with them by the whole white
community Of the islands and by n
necessary reflex action prevails extensively
among the native. LOOsed by the creation
Of n Constitutional Monarchy from the old
bonds Of fealty, which bound them to their
chief and to their king, Hawaiians of the
present generation have not learnt in its
stead that reverence for constituted authe-
rity, and that loyalty to the throne rs its
symbol and its outward manifestation,
which characterize other communities hv-
ing under MOnarchical institutions. We
nave not to consider here the abstract
question whittier a Monarchy or u Republic
is the better order of things for a free man
to live under. For Hawaii, there are few
who do not recognise, with Wylie, Judd,
and RicOrd, that even experiment i'll the
direction of Republicanism has at all times
been undesirable and perhaps impossible.
This being so, loyalty to the throne should
be the instinct Of the citizen and should be
instiIled into the minds of the rising gene
ration. As a principle, it is part of good
mOrals-its outward exhibition is n neces-
sary part OF good manners. Morals and
manners very properly form part of the
% course of study" prescribed FOR our
schools. The pamphlet before us contains
instructions to the teacher as to the points
he should specially inculcate during each
year of the pupils course. In the second
year d" respect toward parents, teachers, and
the aged"-in the eighth year patriotism,
enterprise, and public spirit for public
good and " elements of national Charac-
ter necessary to secure prosperity TO a
country are to be urged upon our
children. With these the sentiments of
loyalty and OF respect for all persons set
i'm authority over them" ought also To- be
~inculcated. And this ought to he most es-
pecially the case with the native children.
The children OF white parents inherit
from a hundred preceding generations
something Of these tendencies. Bu- the
native has been shaken loose from a loyalty
which was a superstition and needs to be
educated into the loyalty of the citizen.
This j. one Of the most important Of those
% national characteristics" which secure
prosperity To "A country" and we hope that
our teachers will feel il their duty TO give il
a prominent place when instTuctiug our
youth as to their mutual obligations To-
society and to the State to which they
belong. Gear God, and homo the King
