NEAR Fosters wharf some barrels of molasses
have busted and the ground is covered with the
syrup. 50 that people passing in that vicinity in
haste or by night are liable to get their feet daub-
ed. Those who have placed the barrels there
should be considcrate enough to cover the molasses
with earth.
e WATER commenced to flow last night from the
well sunk at the northwest corner Of Thomas
Square, and at 6 o'clock this morning the whistle
Of the boring engine announced that a full head OF
water was pouring from the pipe. The we'll is 495
feet deep, and the pipe 9 inches diameter. The top
of the pipe is 81 feet above sea level, and the water
rises one foot above the pipe.
CHANDELIERS and brackets were fitted through
out the Legislative Hall and offices in lower part
Of Aliiolani Hale for the Ministerial Ball. They
will remain there permanently, and will prove a
great convenience, more especially in the Supreme
Courtroom where the work is often continued I'M
til the sma' wee hours OF the morning.
HAY is being landed from ships almost every day
and though it is usually removed from the wharves
without much delay, il sometimes happens to lay
on them for a few hours, and we noticed yesterday
some smokers sitting on a bale, which suggested the
need Of care about throwing the lighted stubs away
in the vicinity of such oombustible material, as VIC
saw one of them do. Al
HAEPER's and the other popular magazines are
now to be found in tho readinE room Of the Y. NJ.
c.. \. Yesterday they were doubtless temporarily
removed or lost among the many old numbers Of
magazines which usually cover the tables, as we
know that Mcssrs. j. w. Robert IN Il Co. are
prompt in supplying these periodicals as soon as
they are received here.
AFTER some weeks of trial the parties who intend
to start a newspaper here in t." Chinese language,
have succeeded in getting tha photographic press
brought here by the PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADvER-
User Co. TO work we'll, and we yesterday saw a
poster in Chinese just 50 pulled " from the stone.
1t is a clear neat impression. and We have no doubt
but that those who are working the press will have
a great deal of work to do in the way of getting
out handbills, ETC., that may be needed in q hurry.
counters the initial numbers Of the American and
Chinese Commercial NelcS, devoted to the publica-
ton of commercial, financial, Industrial, political
and general news. One entire side Of the paper is
printed in Chinese characters, and We would call
particular attention to this half of the journal.
The Netrs claims to be the only journal of its kind
published in the world, and we think it probably
is. We expect soon to see the first numbers of a
Chinese paper published here.
ALTHOUGH several new restaurants have recently
been opened in various parts of the city, all seem
TO be doing a thriving business, yet few ONE quite
up to the best standard, and some are so unwhole-
some that il Is positively disgusting to dine in them
because of filthy floors and tables and slOvenly at
tendance. 1t is impossible to understand why the
prOprietUrs OF these places allow such a state of
things. 1t would seem that thoy would find it to
their own interests to have their places kept more
clean and neat.
OS Sunday night Mr.. H. l.. Morrison. steward
Of the w. G.. Irwin, retired to his bed at IL o'clock,
at which time everything was all straight in his
room. He arose at 4 O'Clock yesterday morning

Judge from 4 general examination, there Is no
dangerous disease on board, yet the Board Of
Health deem 1t advisable to be cautious in the
matter. and in order to make 4 more complete
examination. and guard against all possible intro
ductiou Of disease, the passengers will be detained
at the reef for a few days. II they refuse TO go
there, however. they will have to be querantined
on the ship for fourteen days, according to regula-
tiOns. There is no physician connected with the
ship. and no one on board with authority 70 give
bonds for her. We have reliable information to
the effect that a very large number of Chinese
may be expected here from abroad within the next
few months. and too much vigilance cannot be
exercised by the health authorities to prevent the
introduction Of contagion. ~
MEssRs. EHLERs K Co. opened on Monday their
new rooms, lately fitted up in the rear OF their
store, where they exhibited the most beautiful and
choicest Of goods that were ever shown 10 the
ladies of Honolulu. \ broad flight Of carpeted

pretty designs in Remington Embroidery worked
