Agricultural Society Exhibit.

On Tuesday of next week-June l2-the
ROYAL Hawaiian Agricultural Society, open
their first Annual Exhibit. The Society
have commenced the erection of suitable
buildings on the plot of reclaimed land at
the foot of Alakea street, and will also
erect a tent on Mr.. Hackfeld's grounds adj
Joining. The buildings being erected are
intended to be 125 feet long, and % feet
wide with a height under the plates of II
feet. A passage way runs down the length
of the building through its center, and on
each side the space is divided into stalls.
In the building for exhibiting horses these
stalls are four feet by nine, and those for
cattle are ten by nine. Proper arrange
ments will be made for feeding the animals,
and for keeping the building well ventilat-
ed and clean. An annex will be arranged
for the exhibit of pigs and of poultry,
while within these grounds will be
esbenches'' for the dog show.
The tent will be devoted to the Agricul-
tural and Horticultural exhibits, and this
division promises to be of unusual interest.
A high board fence is being built so as to
enclose the whole grounds, and prober
means of ingress and egress will be pro-
vided. So far, the Secretary informs us
that he has received a large number of APP
plications for space for the exhibition of
horses, a fair number for dogs, and but few
for cattle. The poultry exhibits seem to
be neglected, but we hope that more appli-
cations will come in this week. The site
chosen for the exhibit is a very good one,
and we predict for the SOc.c'y a most sue
cessful inaugural sh0w.

Communicated.
The Salvation Army.

1t has been suggested that General
Booth, the COmmander-in-chief of the Sal
walton Army should be invited TO send a
achm of his forces to these Islands.
There are several reasons that might be
urged TO induce him to take this step.
In the first place these Islands occupy a
very strong strategic position in mid-ocean,
and every month our population is being
augmented by arrivals from China, the
South Seas, Australia, New Zealand, Por-
tugal and elsewhere. As the Held OF oper-
ations is world wide " ii is important that
great geographical centres should be Occu-
pied, and that the idea of operating in the
midst of u large local population should be
subordinated To that OF concentrating
strength at points where nationalitleS meet
and can he attacked.
In the next place a detachment of the
Salvation Army would probably find that
they could live off this community quite
as economically as of any other. II
being the policy of the General 10 obtain
supplies, as well as recruits, by eXhorta-
ton, the w~ell-known generosity of resi-
dents Of these Islands, both native and
foreign, would ensure a fat and comtorta-
BILE living in response TO this demand.
Then again, there is every reason for be
lieving that the Salvation Army would OBJ
tain a large numberof recruits here. There
are quite a respectable number OF persons
right here in Honolulu who feel n pleasure
able excitement in joining in with any So
called religious" movement, who would
quickly " fall in " to the ranks OF the Sal
walton Army. Besides these, there are
those tough characters that have never yet
been reached by any of the agencies for
good that are now or have been in opera
ton here, and the capture OF these alone
would fully warrent the invasion of the
country by the entire force (f found neces-
sary) at General Booths command. And
lastly, we are inclined to believe that it
might do the Army itself good TO have ii
encamp for q while in our midst. The
missionary spirit that has successfully
Christianized the natives here is alive yet,
and would be fully competent to deal with
the Army while the inducements held out
by our planters to have the individual
members "ship" on plantations might be
attended with the happiest results-to the
| country

The Use of Tobacco.

..Oply thirty nut Of 4 list Of one hundred and
twenty-four eminent men arc total abstainers,
whilst some Of the hardest workers and thinkers
use tobacco. Here are twenty names of repre-
sentative men Darwin, Huxley, Edison, Charles
Kingsley. Spurgeon. Wilkie Collins, Trollope, W.
n Russell, c.. A. Sala, Mark Twain, Gladstone,
Duke of Argyll, Matthew Arnold, W. II. Freeman.

John Lubbock, Louis Blanc. OF these ten are men
who smoke, and ten of men who do not, Which is
which Unless the intelligent reader has q clue
from his previous knowledge, | defy h.m to de
eide
We clip the above from the OtdgO Wit
moss. and we agree with the writer that, as
far as the balance of brain-pOwer is con-
cerned, it must be conceded that the smokers
hold their own, ii they do not rather out
weigh the others. But, setting aside the
question as to whether smoking tobacco is
Injurious to the system or not, we would
like to inquire as To what are the rights Of
the smoker. That he has the right, if he
chooses, to consume any number of cigars
or pipesful of tobacco no one disputes but,
under what circumstances. of time, and
place. The odor of burning tobacco is. to
the gentler SEX, very repnlsive. Ant
though there are ladies (Old and young) who
" do not dislike the smell of a good cigar"
vet by far the largest proportion of our
wives, daughters, and sweethearts abomi-
nate the odor. When we reflect that il is
the nature of women to delight in fine,
delicate perfumes, we can better understand
how abhorrent to them must be any rank,
punoent odor. Even the most infatuated
of smokers will allow that the weed they
burn gives forth most penetrating fumes,
and hence we claim that smoking ought
not to DE INDUCED in when the practice will
incommode others. Let every smoker
choose q proper time and place in which to
crafty his appetite, and but few Will find
fault with him for doing so.

VINO critically examine into their own mo-
tives and acts are often lead TO palliate and
excuse their faults and deficiencies by the
thought that they are no worse than their

this fault-finding habit that OF being I'M
duly concerned about the petty affairs of

munlty, are lost sight of in the whiTl n
hustle OF larger events, and we have two
reasons why gossip hourishes here. M

course, very many good books sent here,
but the tendency of the age is to skim over

trashy novels, and, in short, TO read a great
deal without any system or after thought.
This style of mental training (for it Is

furious in the highest degree. The facul-
ties become confused. as it were, and in a
short time the mind fails to retain an in
telligent conception of what is being done
IN the literary world, and hardly compre-
hends the great political, moral or COM
IAeIClaI movements OF the uiN. All IDlS

The CHautnuqudR, A monthly magazine
devoted to the promotion of true culture, y
The plan carried out in this publication is
that of requiring its readers to read for
forty minutes some one or more OF the
articles published in the magazine, and
then to write OH the subject or subjects read.
1t is easy to undei stand that the carrying
out of such a plan will lead inevitably to u
thoughtful habit of reading, and will be of
great benefit to the reader. The habit once
formed can be kept up with hardly a con-
scious effort, and will surely lead to the
highest forms of literary culture, and
eliminate from our daily lives very much
of narrow-mindedness, fault finding, and
undue magnifying of the thousand petty

OUR contemporaries appear to be sOrely
exercised about the coinage question. The
scurrilous language against the Govern
ment with which their Iugubrious articles
on this subject are inter-larded taken in
conjunction with the foolish things they
have to say about shows plainly enough
that it is because they do not understand
what they are writing about, and fancy
that other people are ignorant with them
selves, thar because they have any real
" approximations " to ventilate, that they
discourse, with such pTetense Of learning,
on Coins aud Coinage. IA they see IN
the matter is an opportunity Of making
under cover of the popular ignorance on
the subject, a wild attack on the Govern
ment. Little they reck about the display
they may make of their own ignorance,
partly possible because they are i'm n state

because Of the chance of saying some sting

A Political Lesson.

On the 18th of April last, a crowd assem-
bled in Parliament Square, Westminster
to witness the unwilling of n fine statue of
the late Lord Beaconsfield. The day chosen
for the ceremony was the second a%nniver-
sary of the great statesman's death. The
statue itself was produced from a portrait
bust for which Lord Beaconsfield sat to
Signor Raggi only n short time before his
last illness. 1t is of bronze, life size, and
stands ON q pedestal of red granite which
was specially designed for it by the sculptor
so as TO ensure a perfect general effect of
outline and proportion. The primrose APP

Our Fire Guardians.

The annual report of the Fire Marshal
to the Chief Engineer and officers of the
Fire Department, for the year ending June
It'll, is before us, and we lind from its
perusal hat the Department., while it has
not been called upon to e~Xtinguish any
very extensive fire, yet has done effective
service when called upon, and, as IN the
case of the fire on board the bark Moravian,
their eXertions have prevented he loss of
considerable pro perty. Honolulu has en-
ioyed an immunity from loss by fires dur
ing the past year that Is as surprising as it
it is gratifying. Largely built as the city
is of wood, and closely packed together as
the buildings are in some parts, 1T is Won
derful that there has been so few alarms,
and that where fires have broken out they
have been e~Xtinguished with 50 little loss
During the past year there have been nine
teen ALARMS in response TO eleven of
which the Department has turned out, but
in only three cases were their services
brought into requisition. Out of these
three cases one was the fire on board ship,
and in the other two the value OF the pro-
perty destroyed could not have been more
than six or seven hundred dollars. We nave
not the figures at hand to enable us TO state
h is the aggregate value of the build
iu0S, merchandise, and furniture in Homo
lulu, but it is amongst the millions, and we
doubt whether there is another city of its
size in the world where fires are used so
freely for all purposes, which has suffered so
little loss from them. II II were not for the
care exercised by the police and the Fire
Department this could not be said and we
think that all will award their need of
praise to those who guard against the
breaking out Of fires in the first place, and
who so promptly respond to the call t. eX-
tinguish them when they do get started.
OF the causes of the fires that have taken
place, foHr are attributed to the upsetting
OF lamps, and two to playing Wit matches.
These six, then, are brought about by care
lessnes, and that, too, of a mature that is
reprehensible. children have too easy
access 10 matches, and more pains should
b. taken 10 place them out of their reach ::
while tdc-much care cannot !be exercised in
using kerosene lamps. There was i'm
ported into the Kingdom last year about
200, 600 gallons of kerosene oil for illuminat-
ing purposes besides gasoline and; naptha.
The government have very wisely fixed
and they enforce too-a fire test" for
kerosene that presents "A dangerously in
ferior quality being used here. and the fire
marshal being invested with authority to
prosecute for infringement OF fire ordin-
ances, and being aiso,-as we nave said
Yigilant in the performance OF his duties.
we consider ourselves comparatively safe
from any great confiagration. At the same
time it must be borne in mind that the
supply of water is none too great, and that
the most ~inflammable part of the city
would be the most difficult to penetrate in
case of fire. 1t behOoves all to be careful
themselves and see that others are also.
y ounce OF prevention is worth a pound
of cure
