BLACK SAND.

EDITOR BULLETIN Il see in your
paper that "at the meeting of the P.
l.. and S. Co., on Thursday, Mr..
w. O. Smith stated that black sand
had wonderful effect upon grass
growing in the yard at his residence,
as it acted, when spread upon bare
patches, as first class fertilizer.
| would say, for the benefit of any
whom it may interest, that not only
will a thin layer of black sand,
spread on the surface, greatly assist
the growth of manienie grass, but 1
know of no better manure for clayey
soil, like most Of the land at the
entrance to Kalihi Valley and in the
neighborhood of the Lunatic Asylum.
A little black sand mixed with the
clay will nearly double a crop of
vegetables or a crop of taro. | am
not sure whether this is owing to the
fact that the admlxture of sand
keeps the clay in "a loose state and
prevents it from baking. / am ra-
ther inclined to the latter belief.

GAME LICENSE.

EDITOR BULLETIN THAT there is
law prohibiting the shooting of
game in this district, by any one not
holding a license so to do, is a fact,
That this law is repeatedly violated
is also fact, and one of which the
conscientious license-holder feels he
has just cause to complain. Is it
fair that few law-abiding citizens
should pay for privilege in which
the many are permitted free indul-
gence?
If the Minister of the Interior will
kindly publish the number of shoot.
ing licenses now held, and also the
names of the holders, he will oblige
some of them, and possibly be the
means OF increasing the public fund.

JAPANESE IMMIGRATION.

In view of the possible importation
of japanese laborers to this country,
by steamers of the Oceanic Co.'S.
line, we reproduce an article from
the s. II. Chronicle, which shows
that this subject is receiving consid-
Grafton in America.
"The Chinese exclusion Act seems
to have given an impulse to immi-
grafton, from Japan. More japanese
are daily seen on our streets, though
owing to their ready adaptability TO
our dress and manners the increase
has not been generally noted. They
are desirable class of servants and
workingmen, being quite ingenious
and teachable. There must, however,
be some aid to the immigration, OF
at least some organized encourage
ment which will bring them in such
numbers as may be needed. The
japanese have none of the objection
able qualities of the Chinese. They
readily adopt our customs and grad
ually lose their identity in the mass
of our people. No Japanese quarter
could ever grow up in any city to
disgust with it's squalor, or to lend
its aid and countenance not merely
to it's own special vices, but to those
of class of degraded whites, who
are only too glad to take advantage
of the concealment thus afforded.
They are neat and handy and there
fore much sought after for servants.
For all kinds of light work, of which
there is an abundance in the fields
and orchards of this State, they
would prove useful. While there is
reason to believe that we can get
sufficient number of the kind of
laborers we want from Japan, there
is no fear that the immigration would
prove excessive. The population is
only 37,00O,0O0, and the common
people being in fair circumstances,
only small proportion care to leave
their homes. The case with them is
very different from that Of China,
with its 100000 of oppressed
people, overcrowded in city and
country, tilling an exhausted soil
and constantly threatened with the
most terrible tamines.'

POST OFFICE MONEY ORDER
CONVENTION,

GUNNEN iIUN,
The Convention between the
Post Office department of the King
dom of Hawaii and the Post Office
department of the United States of
America. concerning the exchange
of money ORDERS" is another mea-
sure in the direction of progress, and
one that cannot fail to be advan-
tageous to these islands and appre-
ciated by our people.
This Convention has been regu-
larly " executed and signed" by H.
A. p. Carter, Hawaiian Envoy EX-
traordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary at Washington, and Walter
Q. Gresham, Postmaster General of
the United States, and approved by
President Arthur and King Kala-
kaua, and will ct take effect on the
first day of January, 1884, and con-
tinue in force until twelve months
after either of the contracting parties
shall have notified to the other its
intention to terminate it." TO His
Excellency j. M. Kapena, Mr.. H.
NJ. Whitney, our Postmaster-Gene-
raj, and Mr.. 1. b. Peterson, his able
Assistant. is mainly due the credit
of having initiated and perfected
this important measure.
Following are the principal provi-
sions of the convention affecting
those who may have occasion to
avail themselves of this convenient
method of transmitting money!
Fifty dollars ($50) is the maximum
of each order. No order shall in
clude fractional part of cent.
The amount of each order must be
expressed in letters as well as in
figures. The rates of commission
on orders, which remain to be fixed,
must be paid in advance by remit
ters, and shall not be repayable.
Every order must contain the name
of the Office and of the State or Is
land of destination. Every appli-
cant for an order must furnish the
name and address of the person to
whom the amount is to be paid, and
his own name and address; or the
name of the firm or company who
are remitters or payees, together
with the address of each. All orders
must be forwarded by remitters tc
payees at their own expense. Dup.
licate orders can only be issued by
the Postal Administration of the
country on which the original orders
were drawn. Orders which are MOI
paid within twelve calendar months
from the month of issue, shall be-
come void, and the sums received
shall accrue to, and be at the dis
posal of, the country of origin. Ii
the exchange of money orders he
tween the two countries, one dolla
in Hawaiian money shall be taken al
the equivalent of one dollar in Uni
ted States money, the standard il
either country being gold value.
Mechanics and others having
small amounts to remit will b.
mostly benefited by this convention
and we trust that our authoritie
will see their way clear to fixing tn
rate of commission at a low figure
so as not to lessen the benefit to thi
class of the community. Privat,
banking corporations naturally anc
J. necessarily conduct their business
with the view of making profit
but the Post Office, being ii public
institution, established and operated
for the public good, it's rates of ex
hange should not aim at more thai
meeting expenses.

Narrow Escape from an Ugly Wreck on

John WISE one of the oldest passenger con-
duetors on tue Vandaia road, and Dick Cornell
have rendered their designations owing to mis-
understanding of orders. On Thursday night
the fast mail rrain east left st. Louis in two sec
tions. The first section was in charge of Con-
ducter Cornell, and his train carried a red flag
At Collinsvile, Cornell met the fast express
going west, in charge of Conductor Wise, whose
train was somewhat late, and he had on a num-
Der of passengers wishing to make the western
trains out of St. Louis. and, as it was several
minutes later that the second section was to
leave St. Louis, Wise thought he would
have time to make the run TO
the next station, some eight miles,
and Cornell well expressed such belief
Conductor Wise instructed his engineer, Irwin,
to 20 on, but run with caution as he approached
the station. Irwin says he objected. Wise says
he did not. At any rate, Conductor Wise started
with his train and some two miles this side of
the station he tried to make, his train and the
second section came up face to face. Fortunately
both engineers saw that something was wrong,
applied their alr-brakes, and the trains came TO
a stand-still just as the pilots touched each
other, and what might have been serious
wreck prevented. Conductor Wise, OH
reaching st. Louts, rendered his resignation, and
Conductor Cornell, on learning of the narrow
escape from serious wreck, telegraphed back
his resignation.

WHAT IT MEANS.

BY Securing the Louisville & Nashville, Jay
Gould's Systems Cover Practically Seven
teen States.
The rumor that Jay Gould has secured control
Of the Louisville & Nashville system creates a
good deal of talk in railroad and business circles,
and any points in the matter VIII be read with
interest. Yesterday the railroad reporter of the
Journal was IN the company of a Louisville
man, an old railroader, who is conversant with
the affairs of the Louisville g. Nashville com
pany, and who has, within the last day two
met high official of the Louisville & Nash
vile road. and talked the partially confirmed
rumor over. Said official admitted that ther
were reasons to believe that Jaw Gould had Sc
eured an interest In the l.. d N, which would
result In his having voice in the management
OF its affairs. The party, then turning to the
reporter, said: "Do YOU know that this
deal Of Jay Gould's is of more Importance to In
dianapolis than 1t may seem TO be without some
Thought" In talking with the L. Il N. official
he dropped the remark that Jay Gouds getting
the L. & N system would naturally lead to his
connecting the L. & N. system with the Wabash
In some manner Yes said the official "be-
lore many weeks you will see an engineer
corps in the field surveying a short line to In
dlanapolis, where connection would be made with
the wabash system through what was formerly
the Indianapolis, Peru Il Chicago road. Jay
Gould would then have the short line between
all the prominent cities of the South and Toledo
and Detroit, in fact, all of northern Michigan"
The l.. & n. official then went to say that the
distance between Louisville and indianapolis
could be shortened some ten miles, it had been
stated, by building line west of the Jefferson
ville Madison Indianapolis road, varying from
twelve to fifteen miles distant, and 1t could
be built with lighter grades than the j., NJ. & l.,
and would at the same time give a territory
railroad facilities which now has none, prac-
ucally. In answer to the remark that it looked
as If Jay Gould was determined the
ground with bis several systems the L. g. N.
official said: eyes; his several systems would
then reach all important towns and cities in
seventeen States of the Union, and really make
him boss of the situation, as the L. q N. would
give him control of the central sy stem of South
roads.

For some weeks past there has been heavy
