SINCE Cnlchs went III search of wife
there has not been more coniical search
than that which King kalakaua is currently
reported to have been recently engaged in.
lie has been looking out for a nation. Ills
own donlinions are sadly i'll want Of inhab-
itants. Free rum and tobacco and certain
loose notions of morality, all Of which are
slanderous!y said 10 have been introduced
by Yankee sailors, have played havoc with
the natives. They are fast disappearing be-
fore the influence of all alleged "ciylliza-
tion.'' King kalakaua desires to supply the
vacancies created by their ignominous str
render to the polite customs Of the East. lie
las said, in effect, TO the nations among
whom lie has lately travelled: - Here am
a full-tledged King, having about me the
panop1y Of royalty, and needing nothing to
complete my dignity save people to rule
oyer.'' It is said that kalakaua found i'll
the Azores the right stuff to make Hawaiian
subjects out of, and that an assorted cargo
of professional Islanders will soon be dis
patched to his happy kingdom. But we feel
bound to receive all these reports with in
crednlity until some positive confirmation Of
them shall be made III HI official manner.
Meanwhile, we suggest to the King that, If
he really wants nation, the cheapest and
surcst way to get one is to advertise. The
columns Of THE TRIBUNE are open to him
at the usual rates; and If the royal pro-
genitor Of the little Calicos, after advertising,
does not find himself speedily in conlmunlca-
tion with nation out Of a job. it will be the
first instance of failure to get answers
recorded in long and prosperous career.

Seltishness is the harsh title given to pru-
dence. The literature Of all the ages is full
of nlaxims in honor Of seliishness. Said the
Dauphin to the French King: "Self-lovc,
thy liege, is not so vile 4 sin rs self-neglect-
ing" Said Herbert, 250 years ago, Help
thyself and God will help thee," and Franks
lin repeated the sentiment in hundred
forms, and prudent parents lnstilled it into
the minds of their chilnren from the pages
Of Poor Richard's Almanack. Self-preserva-
tion is the first law Of nature," cries prudence.
and Mr.. Darwin comes to the support Of this
theory with his doctrine Of the survival OF
the fittest. "a penny saved is as good as
penny earned" says Poor Richard, and the
graspi1lg Yankee stretches the maxim n
point in saying to his son: Make money.
