On the first of May of next year there
will be opened in London q Great lnterna-
tional Fisheries Exhibition. In TINS eNhi-
bition it is intended to include "all kinds
of specimens of fish life, and to illustrate all
the modes by which marine and fresh
water animals of economic value are utll-
lied, together with the commercial, scien-
tific, social, historic, and legislative aspects
of such fisheries A large fund has been
raised for the expense of providing II suit
able place for the exhibition, II among
its patrons and active managers are To be
found many great names, from the Prllfce
of Wales downwards through the ranks of
the English aristocracy, and from Huxley
and You'll to- the wardens of the Fishmon-
gers Company, among those whose emln-
ence is not confined to the 1" society "
circles. Some time ago Major WOdehouse,
bv command of Earl Granville, intiIuated
to the Government of this country the de
sire of the promoters that the Hawaiian
Kingdom should be represented on this in
teresting OCCASION. a favorable answer,
but not n definite promise, was given in
reply, and by the last mail another letter
has reached the British Commissioner from
Earl Granville, expressing great pleasure
a the prospect of Hawaii taking up a place
in the exhibition, and conveying an Ollie:

and the products of the seas which w2-h
these shores.
Thus melted, we might almost say laid
under an obligation, to secure 4 proper APP
pearance for Hawaii in the Exhibition the
Government has accredited our Consul in
London, Mr.. Manly Hopkins, as its repre-
sentative in the matter, and the Minister Of
Foreign Affairs has bestirred himself to in
duce others to assist the Government in Sc
curing the necessary exhibits. For want
of an appropriation for the purpose, the
government cannot do all that is necessary,
but His Majesty the King will charge him
self with the supply of \ large portion OF
the exhibits, and others are ready To help
i'm "A humber way. The collection which
it is intended to despatch will be made as
far as is possible a complete representation
of the methods of fishing, and all that per
tains to the habits of that old Hawaiian
people who were almost entirely ichthy-
ophagists. Specimens of our fishes will al
course be sent, also of the various forms of
cei halapOda mOllusca bryoZoa and algae
which have been and are still the common
food of the native population. Fishing
spears, lines, hooks, ancient and modern,
etc, will of course be transmitted, also
specimens of the plants used by the natives
TO intoxicate the fish-as the dhuhu.
1t is pleasant to think that this little
nook of the world will be able to furnish
one of the most Interesting of the col
Iections which will be brought together at
this grand exposition.

DEATHS.
THE PACIFIC

HENRY WENTWORTH Mist says that it Is
'au unmitigated falsehoOd," that he has
g been in any sense an applicant for any
office under any of the Hawaiian Kings"
as there are - reasons and considerations,
which render it impossible to be otherwis :"
We find it difficult to believe, and others
i'm this community share with us the diff
Guilty in believing the statement of Mr.. Mist.
He is a retired naval officer, and has bsen
evidently seeking ways and means to add
to- his SINAI half pay, in order to meet the
cost of living in this expensive country.
He has sought employment on the news
paper Press to add to his resources. And
there are other evidences in regard to his
condition in life which would make it rea-
sonable and conSiderate for him to be an
applicant for II well-paying office like that
of Chamberlain of the Royal household.
Numbers of persons, official and non-offi-
ciaI, say that it was common talk even as
early as during the reign of Kamehameha
", and still more so during the early part
of the reign of the present King, that Mr..
Mist, either in person or through the
intervention of his friends, was an appli-
cant for the position of Chamberlain.
When Mr.. Jarrett, the late secretary of
the Foreign Office, died, it was a common
report that Mr.. Mist was al applicant for
the secrrtaryship under his brother-in-law
the then Minister. Now this also may be
said to be an I" unmitigated falsehOod," but
it is a reasonable story, sustained by
various assurances, aud it will require
something more than Mr.. Mist's assertion
to disprove the statement. Let Henry
Wentworth Mist give us the g reasons and
considerations which render it impossible "
for him to be an applicant for office in this
/ country.

4 PROPOSITION is before the public in
Australia and New Zealand to change the
route of the Pacific Mail service by max
ing MaZatlan its terminus instead of San
Francisco. Railway communication of a
comparatively direct character Is ABOUT 10
be established between MaZatlan ana New
York, and it is computed that the voyage
between the former port and Auckland
could, with a service of the same speed as
that now running, be accomplished in four
laws less time. 1t is further stated that
the land transit between, MaZatlan an j
New York would be thirty hours shorter
thar by the present route. Thus a saving
of five and a half days between London and
the Colonies would be effected. As the
Colonies in paying such large subsidies Tor
their steam services do so for the purpose OF
securing quick mails, the present traffic in
merchandise between them and San Fran
cisco would not be allowed to Stand IN the
way of so large a reduction in the course OF
post-a reduction which would make the
Pacific service decidedly more rapid than
that via Suez for all the Colonies except
South and West Australia. Such Il
change would leave Honolulu out OF the
mail route altogether.
The present contract with the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company expires in November
ofneXt year. So far as we are able to Judge IL
is very unlikely that Mazatlan VIII relolce IN
direct railway communication with New
York at any such early PERIOD as that'
But still another route, which will be avail
able before that time, has been pointed out
by Mr.. Archibald Forbes, who was lately in
Melbourne. This would make Guaymas, in
Mexico, the port of arrival on the North
American side of the Pacific. Guaymas is
500 miles nearer than San Fran
cisco. and will probably be Is or 20 hours
nearer New York by rail than that city.
Railway communication with Guaymas
should, according to contract time, be
completed before the middle OF next year.
If that port should be adopted for the
Colonial mail service, Honolulu will be as
much out of the route as if the service
were carried to Mazatlan, and we shall
lose what has been for years a most import
antboon to us.
