THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY.

We publish to day the twenty first an
nual report of the Equitable Life Assur-
ancc Society. The report shows that this
society had on the 3lst Of December, 1880,
$4,000 600 Of assets and surplus of &c.
100000. The increase in assets during the
year was three and thrcc-quarter million
dollars, and in surplus one and three
quarter million dollars. The new business
Of the society was increased S8,600O00
during the year. amounting in all TO over
S3j,O00,00o, Its income was $s,7O0OO0
and the payments under its policies g..
100000. We commend this report TO all
sceptics who talk about life insurance as
beng on the wane, or who pre-.
tend to believe that life insurance
does not insure. So far as the experience
OF this Society is concerned, no business is
more healthy and prosperous and none
answers the purpose for which it was es-
established more fifty than the business of
life insurance. Its incontcstable policies,
payable without delay as soon as they fall
due, and its "Tontine Savings Fund syS.
TEN, reducing the cost to a very small
amount at the time when the policy
holders labors become unproduchvc to
himself, are features in the business of the
Equitable Society which readily explain its
popularity, They recognize the truth that
life lnsuranance is a bencfccnt institution
which must furnish trustworthy insurance
free from technicalties and at fair rates.

ONE TALENT WELL USED
communicated


One talent, well cultivated, deepened
and enlarged is worth hundred shallow
faculties. The first law of success at this
day. when 50 many matters are cIamonng
for attention, is concentration; to bend all
the energies to one point looking neither
to the right nor left,
1t has been Justly said that great deal
of the wisdom of man in this century is
shown in leaving things unknown; and a
great deal of their practical sense in lcav.
ing things undone The day of universal
scholars are past. "Lltc is short and art is
long" The range Of human knowledge
has increased so enormously that no brain
can grapple with it, and the man who can
grapple with it, and the man who would
know one thing well must have the courage
to be ignorant of thousand things, however
attractive or inviting.
AS with the knowledge, so with work.
The man who would get along must single
out his speciality, and into that must pour
the whole stream Of his actvity--all the
energies Of his hand, eye, tongue, heart and
brain.
Broad culture, many sidedness are
beautiful things to contemplate; but it IS
the narrow-edge man, the men of single
and intense purpose, who steel their SOUS
against all things else, who accomplish 'no
hard things of the world, and VINO arc
everywhere in demand when hard "ofn 10
to be done.

The Hawaiian gazette., 1881-11-09

AFTER break of about four months we
have once more Chancellor and Chief
Justice of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The
appointment of Mr.. A. F. Judd to the
position is one that has been long ex-
pected, though from the delay in filling
the post, it was thought by number
that some other nomination was in view.
We feel sure that this appointment will
give almost general satisfaction. His III
tegrity, his impartiality and his frmness
are well-known; he is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the language, the laws and
the customs of the native race; he has had
heightened experience as a Judge in
our Courts, and it is especially u matter
of qualification that the position can be
filled and well-flled by gentleman who
is son of the soil, who has grown up
among us and who is by birth an Hawai-
ian subject.
MIR. Judd's career is we'll known to most
of our residents. but we Will recall some
OF its main points He was born at Homo
lulu. January 7th, 1888. He received the
ground work of his education in this
country. at the young Chiefs school,
Royal School and Oahu College. In 1860
he went to Yale College where he entered
the junior class and graduated in 1862,
Immediately entering the Harvard Law
School, from which he graduated in 1864,
with the degree OF LIB. In 1865 he
received the degree of AN. from Yale Col
lege He returned to Honolulu in 1864 and
commenced pracncing law; represented
South Kona in the Legislature of 1865, and
after standing twice for Honolulu without
success was elected for this city in 1872,
thus forming a part of the Legislature
which elected Lunalilo. On the accession
of Lunalilo, Mr.. Judd entered his Cabinet
as Attorney General, and on the accession
of the present King, he was appointed
Second Associate Justice, February, 1874.
When Chief Justice Allen resigned Mr..
Judd became First Associate Justice and
Vice-Chancellor.
This gentleman has thus filed in turn
all the three Judicial positions; he has
been intimately connected with our poll
teal affairs during several trying periods.
We look towards his filing his present
post with that dignity and ability which
viii add lustre to name which has been
connected with the islands for so many
years, and will show that men born in
this country are well able to fill its high
est positions.

Ball.

On Wednesday evening last, under the auspices
of the MaiIe Social Club ball was given at the
Hawaiian Hotel. The affair WAS given in honor
of Admiral Aslambegof and the officers of the
Russian men-of-war in port. Shortly before nine
their Majesties, accompanied by the ladies of the
Court and the Staff officers arri, ed. The ball
opened by Royal Quadrile which was made up
as follows: His Majesty the King and Madame
Feer; His Ex. j. o. Domins and Her Majesty
Queen kapiolani; Captain Avelan and H. X. h
Princess Likeike; Hon. A. s. Cleghorn and Her
Ex Hekaulihe. Governess of Hawaii; ; Bis tx. D..
Hay Wodehouse and Mrs. Charles II. Judd; His
Ex. II. 4. p. Carter and Mrs. John Patty; j. w.
Phuger, Esq, and Mrs. Iaukea; Hou. Charles Fl.
Judd and Mrs Haalelen; Captain Alexeieot and
Mrs j. W. Phuger: Baron FredericEs and Mrs.
j. G. Glade; Col. Curtis p. Iaukea and Miss Boyd.
After this, dancing commenced III right good
earnest and was kept up with considerable spint
until the "wee sma' hours" a large number OF
people were congregated in the hotel yard and dur
ing the pauses in the dances the band of II. l. NJ
S. Ar liza PLAYED some choice selections of operatic
and other music. The music for dancing was sup
piled by Mr.. Berger's string band. The ballroom
would have been especially brilliant, as in addi-
ton to the many charming toilettes of the ladies,
there WAS good sprinkling of bright uniforms,
but the lighting of the room was bad, few naked
kerosene lamps being hung in the chandeliers.
What has happened to the hotel gas ? In spite of
this drawback. however, a very enjoyable evening
was spent, and the promoters of the entertainment
may Justly reckon it great success.
Among the guests present were their Majesties,
II. r. H. the Princess Likelke, His Ex. j. o..
Dominis Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, Admiral Aslambe-
goff aud a number of Russian officers, representa-
t1ves of the Diplomatic and Consular bodies and a
number of our leading citizens, official and unot-
cial with their wives, and especially daughters.

L. Atkinson as Secretary pro TEN. The Doctor
then offered for consideration constitution which
had been drawn up by him and had already been
submitted TO several of the principal teachers.
DR.. Hyde read the constitution, and then Presi-
dent Jones proposed that those present should go
into Committee of the Whole and take up the con-
stitution section by section. After few verbal
alterations the constitution was passed
After the adoption of the constitution some re-
marks followed, and it was moved and seconded
that the Secretary should obtain list of teachers,
and that each teacher should be furnished with n
copy of the constitution and be requested to be-
come a member of the association-carTied. Ii
was next moved that a committee of three be ap-
pointed to make arrangements for holding con-
Vention of all the teachers on the islands IN the
first week in January, at which the officers for the
year would be elected-carried. The Chairman
appointed Mr.. A. Il. Atkinson, MIR. Hyde and the

IT always is matter of interest to us to
look over the files of our contemporaries
in Fiji and Tahiti. There are so many
questions to be treated by them which are
similar to the matters that come before
us, and it is so interesting to watch the
different manner in which these ques-
tons are treated, that one can really learn
valuable lessons at times from their pages.
In the Messenger dc Tahiti, of September I'd,
we find printed the new code for the
Gambler group (Ile MaDgareva). In this
issue we have only the first book of
the code, but it contains plenty Of food for
thought The group, for purposes of gov
eminent, is divided into four districts,
comprising each several islands; these are
again divided into sub-distTicts. Provis-
ion is made for recasting the districts
should the increase Of population demand
