publishes the following account by "A correspon-
dent OF some new tribes that have been found m
the northeast of western Australia
A private party organized to prospect tho coun-
try for some 200 miles northeast OF the Illiams

circumcision-they are further described as being
apparently peacefully disposed, Of INDECENT habits
and until now unacquainted with the white man.
One Of the party states that he saw a young moth

Birthday of Her Royal Highness
Princess Ruth Keelikolani.

Our account of the celebration of this
event in last weeks issue concluded with
a short notice of he Reception and Ball held
on Friday evening, 10th inst. That enter
tainmeno was truly royal in its character,
the utmost pains having been taken to pro-
vide for the qualification and comfort of the
crowd of guests. The reception, which was
at eight O'Clock, was very fully attended
We give below a list of those to whom in
vitations were extended and, with the eX-
ception Of a few whose absence from town
or illness precluded them from being there,
all who were thus privileged awaited them
selves of the opportunity to pay their res
poets to Her Royal Highness. Towards 8
O'Clock when the rooms, hall, and verandahs
of the spacious mansion were thronged with
guests, His Majesty arrived and remained
conversing with his hostess for a short time.
Then after several impatient warnings from
the band, the royal set for the first quarille
was formed. Her Royal Highness had re-
ceived her guests in the front drawing room
and the royal party moved in procession,
His Nasty and the Princess ending the
way, to the further end of the large drawing
room, where they took up their positions for
the quadrille. Governor Dominis with the
Princess Likelike as his partner were us q
pis to His Majesty and the Princess Ruth,
and the following among others took part
in the quadrille: II. r. H. Princess Liliuo-
kalani, Hon. A.. ;. Cieghorn, His Elk. ]. :.
Walker, and Mrs. Walker, Genl. Comfy
and Mrs. Comfy, Major James H. Wode-
house and Mrs. Wodehouse, Mons, and
Madame Feer, Hon. j. NJ. Kapena and Mrs.
Kapena, Mr.. and Mrs. +. A. Schaefer, Mr..
and Mrs. III. Glade, Miss Peabody. After the
quadrille was over dancing became general,
both drawing rooms, a large part of the hall
and "a large apartment on the mauka side
of the house having been made available for
that purpose. The wide doors by which the
hall communicates with the large drawing
rooms and with the room just alluded to
rendered the whole virtually one large ball
room. Linen had been stretched OIL the
floors, and everyone declared heir condition
for dancing to be perfect. The rooms were ad-
mirably lighted, and presented a gay scene,
especially, when, at a later hour the crowd
of guests had hinned out considerably, and
the toilets of the ladies could really be seen.
Some of these were very rich, and many
that made no pretension to c~ostliness were
greatly admired for the good taste and st yle
they displayed. The rooms are so hand
somely de corated in a permanent manner

The Achinese.
AcHEEN, SuMArRA, Noven

AcHEEN, SUMATRA, November lOth.
" The insurgent Achinese are determined not
only to check immigration of Chinese to carry
on plantation work, but also t. make their resi-
dence in Acheen AS impracticable AZ possible.
Some of the recent attacks are by mountaineers
known by the name OF Orang Ulu. Their hate
for Europeans and Chinese is chiefly race hatred.
The Orang Ulu are distinguished 10y wearing
long hair, while the inhabitants OF Acheen
proper wear it short or shaycn of. In "A recent
attack, one of the slain Of the insurgents had
long hair reaching down TO the hips almost. The
Orang Ulu come down from the mountains at
night on forays in the low lands
[After ten years desperate struggle, aud u loss
of three -fourths of their people, the determined
Achinese continue their murderous struggle with
Dutch power and the butchery promises to 80
on so long as one Achinese remains that eau

Our Food Supply.
the world

sThe price of b@f cattle has again advanced,
and the butchers find that they must charge
eighteen cents a pOund for beef, with the pros
pect before them Of further increase in price.
The supply of sheep is evidently limited and
mutton will advance in the same ratio as beef.
There is indeed every prospect that the essentials
of food will become very costly in this country
through the exclusive devotion to sugar growing
aud neglect of food production. Yet we live
here surrounded bY a limitless reservoir of sus-
tenance provided for us by nature-the sea-
which at every season of the year will yield
abundant supplies, unaffected by droughts or
floods or any climatic influence. The waters
round our coasts swarm with fish. Indeed, the
variety and number of fish in these seas is de-
cidedly remarkable, ana yet for all this the ex-
perienced housewife will not venture to neglect
to order the regular supply of beef or mutton,
relying upon being able to procure fish instead,
because the supply Is always so uncertain and
the price always high. Even at the advanced
rates of the present day mutton and beef are
generally cheaper than fish, and it not unseldOm
happens that the market is wholly bare of supply
This ought not to'b be so. Capital ought tc
step in to assist he d~esultory labor now EN-.
ployed in the business of fishing. We think tina
some of our wellknown gentlemen of larg,
means who posses fisheries might organize
fishing enterprise. With suitable craft in which
to carry ON the fishing and proper tanks or re
servoirs to keep n supply in, near the market, ST
as to guarantee a supply in bad weather, tn,
undertaking wouldnot only prove Il very profit
able one, but wOuH be a veritable boon to tn,
public. There are plenty of choice fish of which
we never see any supply in the Honolulu marke
which might thus je made available to the larg
number of consumers who would welcome them
Turtle and variou, forms of shell fish are ais,
really plentiful throughout the islands, an,
might be plentifuland cheap in our markets to-
if anyone with enterprise and a moderate amour
of means would tale up the business of supply

: THE Dispensary on Maunakea-street is
thrOnged daily during office hours by sick
people coming from all parts of the group.
This voluntary migration of the sick is a
new feature i'm the medical history of the
islands. The Government and the benevo-
lent has provided well-appointed hospitals
for the general sick and for the lepers but
those having need OF these institutions were
disiuclined to come forward and be treated;
aud the strong ann of the law was invoked
TO take the sick, especially the lepers to an
asylum designed for their care and treat
ment. Tn sufferers shrank with horror
from the asylum provided but now the
same patients and people are coming for
ward with alacrity to reveal their infirm-
tiles and To deliver themselves up for treat
ment. The difference between the former
backwarlness and the voluntary presenta-
ton at this time is occasioned by an
awkened feeling of cOnfidence-of con-
fdence i'm a certain humane care and SYM
pathy. impressing the people with a con-
seriousness that there is a greater desire to
heal them and return them to their homes
than to make permanent patients OF them
for an institution whose Authorization and
management was supposed to be a con-
tractors job. Let the spirit of humanity
and a sympathetic care of the people be
manifest and they will flock like children

AT the last session of the Legislature a
coinage bill, which originated with the late
member for Lahaina, was passed, and re-
ceived the Kings assent, but ii has been a
dead letter through the government having
abstained from taken any action upon it.
It's provisions might have been carried out
with profit TO the country, whilst rendering
unmistakable service to the public. Next
can dollars have been quoted at the Coast
at So to 80 cents, all the time, and there
would have been a profit in purchasing and
recoining them into the small coinage
which we want So much. 31ore especially
would the issue of one of the coins named in
Coinage Act -th el2R cent piece-have been
a service to the public. There has been no
thing to prevent the Government from pro-
viding the community with this convent
ence. 1t would have not only been a con-
venience, but a great satisfaction, equally
to natives and foreigners, who would take a
pride in the Use of II national coinage.
OUR Chinese fellow-cftizens commenced
the celebration of their New Year on
Thursday afternoon last. On this occasion
the Chinese employee takes pleasure in of
fering some pleasant courtesy to his en-
ployer, and W. know in :his instance, where
master or "A1issee" has received the gift of
u pair of flows or ducks, or Il pot of ginger
or a stand of the beautiful narcissus in
bloom, with bounties of confectionery and
lichee for the children, who are really at
tached TO Achorg, Afo, or other sons of great
China, who has established confidential
and kindly relations with a European en-
ployer and family. Let these kindly rela-
tiOns be increased and widened. Let nc
unreasoning prejudice stand between Eu-
rOpean and MoIgOlian, and as the latter
has, during This festival spread his
feasts for his Caucasian brother to partake
Let the latter, incur favored isles reciprO.
