The electric communicate ton between the Gov
eminent Survey Office and Mr.. Lucas mill is not
fully established as yet. Due notice will be given
when it is in operation, and every one will govern
themselves accordingly.
WE would call attention TO the extensive advsr-
tisemeut of Messrs. W. q. Macfarlane & Co., Of
goods arrived, and to arrive, by their several
vessels, consisting Of fine lines Of goods, sugar
machinery and railway material. The goods ex-
pected by the steamer Abergeldie are said to be of
an unusually beautiful class and of great variety.
These will be separatelyiadvertised on the arrival
Of the steamer. F.
The Honolulu Rice Works and the planning
mill with the machine shops, storehouses, etc.,
owned and conducted by Mr.. 4. Hopper, taken
together are the most complete, well arranged and
useful establishments Of the kind in this country.
The rice mill turns out ON an average about l5O
sacks daily. The machinery Is propelled by an
engine OF the same size and kind as the new one
Just put in place in Mr.. Lucas mill, which also
affords power to run the machinery used in the
shops. Mr.. Hopper is doing a very large business
and in spite Of having been burnt out some years
ago, he, like every other firm III the city, has been
highly successful.
Cruzan will speak upon Church Loyalty and
in the evening give a Talk with Young People

THE German steamer Ehrenfels, Captain \
Fisher, left Bremen February 24th. She called At
Valparaiso at which place the ship Abergeldie with
Portuguese immigrants was met passing out Of
that port, and Captain Fisher expected to find that
vessel had already arrived here. The Ehrenfels
has $50 immigrant passengers. OF this number
$50 are adults, about equally divided, male and
flmale: 40 children between / and II Years Of
age. and 50 babies under II months old. OF these
latter Z were born on the passage. The measles
broke out shortly after the vessels departure and
B altogether there were &c cases Of that disease on
board. The last case developed on the 10th Of
April, so that as an epidemic II is entirely run out.
There have been thirty deaths on board from what
Is designated sequela or effects OF disease under
unfavorable conditions. The passengers are now
in a very healthy condition generally, and only
need n few DAVIS rest and cleansing with some vari-
ties Of fresh food. To all appearance they promise
to be 4 very valuable addition to our population.
WE cali u aLLSnlAOH VI IA HIS ~ tAC pp7N
Office advertisement in another column, giving
notice Of the opening Of twelve domestic money
order offices, at any Of which postal money orders
can be procured on and after Tuesday next, May
lst. Orders cannot only be sent from Honolulu 10
either Of these offices, and rice reTsd, from them

order office to another country mOney-Order Office.
Gradually, the new system will be extended to
include. perhaps, every post-ofice in the Kingdom.
The public have been waiting long and patiently
for the introduction Of this popular institution,
which has become almost as necessary for business
Of every kind in other countries as the transmits
sion Of letters. We are assured by the Postmaster
General that there shall be no unnecessary delay
in the introduction of foreign postal orders, for
which the preliminary steps have already been
taken. The recent death Of the American Post
master General Howe may delay the completion oi
the necessary arrangements, but the system will be
at work in a few months, without a doubt.
