private parties, and that if the government took
another Norwegian immigration IL hand 1t would
be attended with satisfactory results. Some

= Tomorrow 18th inst, being the auniver-
sary of the accession of King Kulakaua to the
throne, to-day is a holiday at the Government
Offices. This being mail day, it is not likely
that the holiday will be observed among business
men. The day will be celebrated by the usual
salutes from Punchbowl, aud by a military par
ade at which the troops will be inspected by His

- body of the military marched up and
voted as a body" Fifty-eight of the guards was
the only military body that marched on the day
of election, under an officer TO the polling place
where they broke ranks, voted Individually as
they pleased, as we saw them change ballots
and nobody to prevent them-and then they
formed again outside, and so marched back to
their quarters. The American army, one hun
dred thousand strong and more, voted in camp
for civil representatives and a President.
- On Monday last, John Hughes was con-
vincted of giving intoxicating drinks to native
Hawaiians. He invited two native girls, Aua
and Poolua into his house to take a drink. They
accepted his invitation and got drunk, and then
Z. peached, " whether in Il penitent or vim
dicative mood does not appear. Hughes was
fined S25 and costs. The two girls had been
fined for being drunk on the previous Saturday.
1t is satisfactory to see drunkenness among
natives traced up to its causes when the source
from which the liquor came can be discovered.
Gay~ 1t is pleasant to record charitable deeds.
All Chong an old Chinawoman who died on Mon
day last, had for a long time past, been too de-
crerid to take care of herself, and .as been
housed and fed. and kindly looked after by some
natives at Aala. When her death was reported
to the Police, the fact was made known to her
countrymen, who were acquainted with her dur
ing her lifetime, but as they, strange to say,
made no move in the matter of her burial, she
was inferred at the public expense in the Makiki
cemetery. Her only known relative in the is
lands is IA nephew who is at work on Kauai.
She had been a confirmed opium smoker, and
had served more than one sentence for the vice.
- The oldest of our existing Photographic
Galleries has changed hands, Mr.. Williams hav-
ing bought Mr.. Dickson's business, so long es-
tablished in Fort Street. Mr.. Williams is al
ready known here as "A Photographic artist, as he
has for some time past had the management of
the business he has now purchased, and he has
established a reputation for himself such as his
previous record warranted. Mr.. Williams was
for some years with Taber Il Co, the justly cell
nav aNAA LII BHCNpCAOIANAof oAN 'oo
entrusted by them with the representation of
their firm at the recent international Exhibitions
at Sydney and Melbourne. Besides carrying on
the Photographic business, Mr.. Williams will con-
tinue the sale of Curios, Shells, Corals, Lava
Specimens, Mounted Ferns and Moses, etc. ETC.,
for which Mr.. Dickson had become so celebrated.

about that whether there is an opportunity to
organize a Methodist, or Baptist, or other Christ
ian church, or not but we know that there is a
large body of well Informed, intelligent people,
who do not attend Fort Street Church or the
Bethel or any other church but who would
gladly turn ont to listen to an earnest man like
Mr.. Cruzau at some public place, say for in
stance the Musical Hall. We wish the expert
ment could be tried. We presume there would
be no charge for the use of Hall, and we would
guarantee the payment for lights. We think the
Hall would be crowded. People would feel at
there ease there. You must put people entirely at
their ease, and then you may talk to their intel
ligence and their hearts. And then if Mr.. Cru
zan's ministry is supplemented by the delightful
singing of Mrs. Cruzan and other ladies, there
would be crowded and enjoyable meetings pro-
ductive of a wide spread good influence.
V The first general meeting of the members
of the newly organized Honolulu Athletic Asso-
citation was held in the Lyceum on Monday
evening last. DR.. Hutchinson explained the
nature of the business to be transacted, and
reported that the Provisional Committee had
already secured III members for the Association.
Mr.. Adams was elected Chairman of the meet
ing, and Rev. w. 4. Swan acted as Secretary.
The minutes of the last meeting of promoters
of the Association were read and confirmed. The
subsequent business of the meeting was con-
fined to the election of officers and fixing the
rate of subscription. Printed lists of persons
whom the provisional committee had decided to
nominate for the various offices, and whose con-
sent TO such nomination had been obtained,
were handed round. The committees object in
having these lists printed was to save time and
provide convenient ballot papers, but their
motives appeared to be omewhat misappre-
hended. Mr.. Hartwell was the committees
nominee for the office of President of the Asso-
citation. That gentleman was not present, hav-
