In bloom, in a garden on Beretania street
possibly in other gardens in towns q beautiful
cataipa tree. The deep green of its broad,
glossy leaves contrast finely with the pure white

The contrast afforded by these snowy bios

poinciana regia, and the cardinal red OF tue
HIBISCUS near by, IS very line, and anywhere
else, where there was not the wealth of color
and profusiOn Of towering plants we have here,
would attract crowds Of admirers.
All that is wanting now in this city to the es-

countries, is II cable to furnish constant reports
of the great transactions tina. occur from day to
day in ali parts OF the world. Our people fully
appreciate the inestimable benefits which u re-
liable, enterprising aud complete daily journal
can alone confer, not only as a medium for ad-
vertIsing, but also 10 Il chronicle Of events aud
a dissemination of popular ideas and news. Con-
sequentiy every journalistic enterprise IN this
country receives a generous public support.
This fact alone indicates a high degree of gen
eral Intelligence and is one of many proofs of
the increasing material prosperity of the King

Let your beans simmer in warm water u long

and considerably more beans than either.) Then

The steamer Madras came into harbor without
authorization Tuesday. She soon steamed
back to her former place of anchorage outside.
A letter had been sent to the agents of the vessel
the DreyIOuS evening. IntImltlnO the conditions
on which she would be permitted to enter the
port, and land passengers and cargo and it is
that the Captain thought he was war
ranted in coming in first, and arranging
terms afterwards. However this may be, he
very promptly acceded to the request that he
shoalL return to his former anchorage. The
Board of Health has determined on the condi-
ions under which the I.LsseiiSers and goods from
the ship may be landed, and 1t Is probable that
she Will shortly be admitted. She will then
land cargo, &c., only on the reef, where every
thing will be subjected to disinfection. Just
rs she started to return, eight Of the Chinese
promptly fshed up by the policemen in boats
who were near at hand to prevent any of the
passengers of the Madras from landing, and re-
turned on board the steamer.
1t would seem that Honolulu is blessed with a
genius in the shape of a qUasi-crmical writer, if
Judgment in the matter may b. based upon GER
contempcraneous illusions, which have re-
,ently appeared in print. The would-be wit has
strung together IL Heterogeneous mass of words
md sentences without any connection or evident
purpose except the ambition of being funny.
But even in this aspiration the trihing scribller
las hardly succeeded, unless IL is funny to see a
play the fool absolute" and fill up
,mpty space with senseless conglomeratiCns of
words. 1t may be, however, that this com;cal
cribe is miscOnceived and wrougfully not APP
by the people of Honolulu. 1t is
rarely possible that he Is an Artemus Ward or
Cruikshank i'll embryo, aud that this wOrdy
of his is only a maiden effort which
not fairly reveal the latent depth of un-
apish ability that he possesses. If
his is the case the commonplace aud unappre-
public had better thank goodness for
that little they can get from the embryo wit,
nd applaud his antics until he makes Il con-
ummate buffoon of himself.
The Planters Monthly for May has been laid on
ur table. 1t is rather a dull number, with
he exception of q few valuable communion
ions. In the editorial department there is an
rticle on Chinese immigration" wherein it
stated that the Chinese Minister at Washing
On, DC, has ntimated that his Government
nil be glad to regulate the immigration of
oolies to this country, and send one-third as
