WE believe we have good grounds for con-
graduating the community on the derease of
the epidemic. in the city of Honolulu particu
larly, though cases are still not unfrequently
discovered in outlying districts from Waialua
to Waialae and amongst the valleys in the
neighborhood of the town; many cases 100 are
reported as of comparatively mild type.
From Kauai the reports are favorable Hawaii,
has as yet escaped free, so also has Maui,
and with tho return of steady trade-winds
to refresh and puffy the air after the heavy
unwholesome weather We have had so much
of lately we hope that the scourge may be
speedily removed. 1t is very necessary not to
relax precautions just now when the epidemic
is falling into more controllable Dimensions.
No more risks should be run, or carefulness
abated, than when it was at its worst, either
by public authorities or private individuals.
The Windward Islands should still be pro-
tected as keenly as ever. 1t is natural per-
haps that when people feel that they can
breathe more freely, and some part of their
anxieties removed, that they may grow more
indifferent and perhaps careless; we therefore
beg to remind everyone to remain on their
guard, and not to shout before they are out
of the wood -

AMONGST the lots of real property sold on
Monday the 2sth ult., by Mr.. Adams, was a
corner lot facing Fort and Queen streets
known as the Hudson's Bay premises, which
was knocked down to Mr. Jas. Campbell for
$4,000. An opportunity which may never
again offer, for widening Fort street, might
perhaps be taken advantage of now or never.
The purchase of few rods of the Fort street
frontage might enable the new buildings to be
set back and the land thus acquired thrown in
to widen the street The buildings at present
on the ground must be removed and if the new
ones are commenced on the site of those now
there, it will be too late, and the crowded mar
row street must remain as it is. On steamer
days it is almost dangerous to drive past This
corner, and it seems to us not very difficult to
remedy this once and for all by taking advan-
tage of the present opportunity. If the addi-
tional width could be carried as far as Mer-
chant street it would be u great gain.

Visit of Her Majesty the Queen to the Small
pox Hospital

Queen Kariolani visited the Smallpox Hospital
on the reef IN Saturday last, taking presents Of
flowers and various others things, and conversed
with those who were able to be ont on the
verandah. The following letter from H.R.H. the
Princess 1egent, translation of which we copy
from the Gasette was read to the patients:
tTranslationl
Friends: I send my love mingled with deep
to you, who are afflicted SO grievously with
smallpox that dreadful disease which is troubling
community in these days. The appearance Of
this contagion among us is very painful to my
mind, more especially since it has come in the
commencement of my feeble attempts To admin
lister the affairs of our Kingdom. From the time
became matter of great anxiety to me. what
would be the end of this plague, and what dread
full ravages it would make amongst us; and the
Government has tried and labored arduously ac-
cording to all the assistance and means at its
disposal, to appease and restrain the wide spread
ing devastation of this pitiless disease, which is
working SO much evil amongst us.
On account of the love bear. and the never
ending sympathy with our nation, my great desire
is to you nll healed of your sickness, and re-
turn in good health into the bosom of your
families.
Friends I ask and entreat that YOU will be
pleased TO incline your ears with favor and listen
attentively TO the directions and orders of those
who appointed to administer medicine to you
and may the blessing of heaven which passes all
understanding, with patience, rest, peace and ease
from your PAIN. he given to you whilst such dis
tressing circumstances surround you.

WE trust that with the departure of the
Lydin with her troublesome customers we
may hear the last of Chinese troubles on any
extended scale, and when the longed-for ces-
sation of the smallpox enables the authori-
ties to release the Chinese now detained in
quarantine, and they are scattered about the
probabilities Of trouble will be considerably
reduced. The restraints Of quarantine must
necessarily be very irksome, to say nothing of
the disappointment felt, and the consciousness
that no money is being made. These combined
60 far to make the men irritable and discon-
tented, so that on the whole, it must be admit
ted that they have behaved as well as can be
expected of them

to give n brief synopsis of such laws for the in

And once Are gift enterprises and raflles
held to be lotteries or gambling? notice that in
the State of New York recent decision holds gift
enterprises to come under the Statute affecting

With regard to the first paragraph of our cores
pondent's letter, we looked through the Penal and
Civil Codes and in Chapter XXXTX., Sections l. of
the former find the following definition of
gaming: "Whoever by playing at cards or any
other game, wins or loses any sum of money or
thing of value, is guilty of gaming" Sections H.,
I'LL and ". divide Gaming into two degrees, and
award the punishment to be inflicted for the
breach of this law in either degree. Section V.
provides that the loser, having paid his loss may
and recover the same from the winner.
In the Civil Code, Sections LXXV and LXXX pro-
hibit gaming in public places, hotels, billiard
rooms, bowling alleys, &c. Session Laws of 1870,
Chapter v. Section I. enacts that "whoever is gull
ty Of gaming shall be punished by fine not exceed
ing one hundred dollars, and by Imprisonment mt
hard labor not exceeding sixty days." repeating
Chapter XXXVII. Section III. of Penal Code.
The second paragraph of the letter can only be
authoritatively answered by the Attorney General
or other competent lawyer.

resignation if unavoidable, but at the same
time regretting the necessity, and inviting
him to reconsider his decision. In the event
of Mr.. Martin reporting himself as obliged to

probably be left vacant until some fresh neces

THE Hawaiian youths have not yet set
tied down to their education, according to let
ters reported by the Adpertiser. Indeed, it
seems that Moreno, their "guide, philosopher
and friend, F" has not yet selected the coleg Q
to which they are to be sent. though he seems
to have for the present decided on Italy, as he
had formerly chosen Germany. Meanwhile
these unfortunate youths state that they are
dependent on Moreno's estates for their
subsistence. If this be so they are greatly to
be pitied, but we do not quite sec what is
meant by their saying that they are eye ,ca-
nesses Of this fact The truth is that money
has long ago been forwarded to the Hawaiian
Consul at Bremen, desiring him to furnish the
youths with every necessary. pocket money
and all, aud to remove them from the care Of
Mr.. Moreno, who will therefore be free to de-
vote his whole attention and resources to the
care of his esf1tes.
The removal of the party from Germany to
Italy without the sanction OF the Government,
will at first render communication more diff
cult and slow, but by this time it is probably
rectiied and the instructions sent to Bremen
carried out.

$1.45 to SLIGO per dav-which sum they allege

This morning they passed resolution pledg-
