Throwing orange peel on a sidewalk is a.care-
less and dangerous act. On NHuanu Street last
Tuesday, q native woman had q severe fall owing to
stepping on q piece of peel. Opposite one Chinese
store we noticed 4 large quantity of this danger
Gus matter. Our police might confer q boon on
the public in restricting the practice as much
as possible.
The rule Of the road ought to be more strictly
observed in and around Honolulu. In turning
the sharp corners, this neglect is more observable
than elsewhere, and it is astonishing, the utter in
difference with which the policemen sit by and
observe the hair-breadth escapes that occur daily.
Police Officer Wond is very active in this respect,
but unfortunately he can only be at epe corner at
enc time.
Y By telephone we learn that their Excellencies

A PETITION has been drawn up, and is about to
be circulated, praying that permission be granted

who are DESTROYS of carrying out this scheme advo-
cate that it would be a. source of considerable
revenue. and have a tendency to lessen the gin and
whiskey drinking amongst the natives.

TEX Gazette of Wednesday last said 90 The transit
of Venus takes place tomorrow Thursday and
scientific parties in available places will be watchA
ing the occurrence. The transit of the planet
across the disc of the sun will be visible here, but
the point of contact, occurs before sunrise. The
next transit occurs June 8, 2004." The astrono-
mical observer of the Gazette has missed his mark
this time. Nothing new, however, for our neigh
Dor to shoot wide of his mark. Chance for
another item next week to put matters straight.
THE A. b. c. +. M, have sent out here a very large
and graphic map of the world, showing, on the two
hemispherss all the missionary stations established
on the face of the globe. Each station is named,
and numerals are affixed to show tho population of
the different places, and, in short, the map gives a
great deal of information in regard to missions
throughout the world. The map measures four
teen by eight feet, and is to be hung on the walls of
the Fort Street Testry Room for reference.
The following note explains itself, and it is to
be hoped that there may b6 one uniform time
adopted for ringing such bells and blowing such
whistles as are used here to designate particulsr
hours for work and play. EDITOR p. O. A. The
officers OF the Survey Department have made ar
engagements by which the correct time can be
offices, churches, schools, steam mills, plantations
and jewellers shops, wherever connected by telef

regular meeting next month under the direction of
the Hon. A. s. Cleghorn, President of the Asso-
citation, the Park is being improved daily. The
sum of 1874 is paid out regularly every month for
labor, and very satisfactory results are obtained.
There have been prejudiced and malicious COM
plants about the Park and its surroundings but
entirely without any foundation by persons who
never take the trouble to make personal inspection
of what has been, and is being done.

( AMONGST the recent large importations of goods, |
one of the most valuable and carefully selected
stocks is that Of Mr.. M. McInerny. Owing to the
inadequate space at the disposal Of Mr.. MeInery,
he has not the opportunity of making a grand dis
play, hut he is at all times willing to exhibit his
valuable wares TO visitors. On Saturday last our
reporter was shown the contents of Mr.. McIRerny's
safe. He has invested an immense capital in goldI
and silver watches. jewellery, diamonds, Gorham
solid silver ware, and lace ware. 1t contains some |
charming souvenirs for Christmas presents, use and /
haaufy being cOmbiDed throughout the whole of L
his stock. He assured us that he keeps nothing 1
but genuine first-class goods, which he offers at
local retail trade, Mr.. McInerny transacts a large
wholesale business with Chinese and foreign store
keepers, and the good name that he has acquired
is evidenced by the extensive character Of his deal
ings. The most fastidious purchaser will find iu
this store the best " outlet {" for his surplus cash.
