WE by no means wish to be prophets of evil y
but nevertheless we must remind cur readers that
November has always been noted rs the most
sickly month of the year in these Islands, and
especially SO in Honolulu. Already hear Of
eases of colds and fevers among children. Marin,
the Spaniard. who resided forty-four years here
and died Oct 3d. 1887. says in his diary No
vember Is the month in which the most rain has
fallen, and ii has generally been sickly at that
period ; the sickness has continued, more or less,
until February and often until May; coughs,
influenza, fevers, with years splitting of
blood. The highest temperature noted is sc , in
the shade"
LOTTERIES are, we believe, recognized rs gam
bling by our statutes, but it is carried on without
interruption among the Chinese residents of
Honolulu. We were shown n Chinese lottery ticket
the other day by gentleman who had bought it
with view of getting posted i'll the matter. The
ticket was n small sheet Of paper covered with
rows of Chinese characters and tho purchaser of
ticket Is told to mark any ten of the characters.
The manager of the lottery then marks or blots
them over so rs to obliterate them. Further than
this the thing is Il mystery to those who do not
understand Chinese. The managers have every
thing in their own han6s apparently and il is not
likely that many Of the tickets win prizes.

WE hear it rumored that several amateurs Of
this place propose to tender complimentary con-
cert, vocal and instrumental to our worthy band
master Mr.. II. Berger, such concert to take place
in the latter part of this month Mt the Music Hail.
As the concert is to be under the patronage of the
King and Queen, and judging from the talent of
the parties who have pledged their support and co.
operation, we venture to prognosticate musical
treat and financial SUGGEST The object is a COM
