In the injunction case OF. Boeken vs..
Montgomery last summer, certain eOru
raised by Montgomery was held under
an attachment for rent Montgomery
promised sheriff Worst TO crib and husk
the corn and hold il until the suit was
finally determined. One day last
week Mr.. Worst commissioned Mr..
IVES. Lawrence, who was going out
there, to measure the corn in the crib.
Mr.. Montgomery objected with some
threats, but Mr. Lawrence measured
the corn. Last Monday Mr.. Boeken
came TO town with the information
that Mr.. Montgomery was hauling the
corn away. Sheriff Riggs, who had
just been sworn in. with the writ of at
tachment, went out, and Mr.. Mont
gomery refusing to quit removing the
corn, the Sheriff had Mr.. Boeken haul
to his place what was left of it. Mr..
Montgomery at once came To town aud
sued out writ Of replevin, claiming
that this is not the corn on which the
attachment was levied. T. F. Strick-
land took the writ Wednesday. weht
out and placed the corn under guard
for twenty-four hours, giving that
much time FOX Mr.. Boekin to give his
redelivery bond. At the time of going
TO press, Mr.. Boeken had not decided
upon his course. 1t looks very much
as if the order of the court, and Mr.
Montgomery;s promises, had beel yio-
lated.

The Cathedral Fair .

The fair in aid Of the furnishing fund of the
new Cathedral which was held in the Y. n. C. A.
building last Friday, proved most brilliant and
successful affair.
The large upper hall was surrounded by beauti-
fully decorated stalls presided over by the most
prominent ladies of the land. On reaching the
head OF the stairs one turned to the right and came
upon the candy stall, which was most popular
with the young folks and the stock was completely
sold out and had to be renewed. This was pre-
sided over by Miss POtwin, Miss Mist and Miss
Wells. Queen Emma'5 table was also most
pOpulEr aud that lady and her active assistants
made the largest sales at the fair. II. X. II. the
Princess Likelike made fine display of fancy
work and some dIstinctiyely native curiOs. The
table presided over by Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Mackin-
tOsh and Mrs. Wallace was loaded with pretty
things, among which some photographs of the
Princess of Wales contributed by King Ralakaua,
there were also d couple of Ingenious models of
native houses. Mrs Dowsett, Mrs. BickertOn and
Mrs. T. H. Walker had stalls on the left hand side
of the room. The toy table was literally patron
lied and one little fellow heard to ask eagerly
for "a mice a mice that could jump, be got it
too. 4 regular fairy bower was arranged on the
platform, which was devoted to the sale Of flowers
Miss Widemann, Mrs. Hayiey, Miss Bernice Parke,
Miss Annie Parke and Miss Annie Cleghorn presid-
ed over the stall which proved great centre Of
attraction.
On the ground floor all kinds Of good things
were dispensed and pretty littls Mattresses were
ready TO bring ice cream or toothsome salads at
the bchest of any buyer.
Messrs. I. Il. Walker and I. Mays peep -hoy
must not be forgotten. 1t was a most amusing
exhibition and worth double the money This

Progress.

The publication of a number of Hawaiian airs
makes an era in the musical world of this city.
In times past there have been few Hawaiian
compositions published, but they have never been
put forth in distinctive form with the exception
of Princess Liliuokalaui's hymn. Mr.. Berger the
Bandmaster of the Hawaiian Band, has arranged
and Messrs. ]. NJ Cat, Jr. Il Co. have Published a
collection of Hawaian airs under the title g Meie
Hawaii, which ought to become very popular
with ali music lovers here, and should also meet
with approval abroad.
The "cet up Of the publication good. There
Is n very pretty view of Diamond Head by moon
light forming medallion IN the center OF the
title page with a frame work tof cOcoanut and
date palms which is both tropical and effective.
The printing is clear and has but few errors,
which can be readily detected and corrected by
the musician.
The list of nine numbers can be divided into
two parts-vocal and instrumental. The latter
consists of four marches, Sweet Lei Lehua,
- Lunamakaainana,- "Ka Moi Kalakaua" and
La Hanau o Ike Alii.- These are great favorites
WHEN the Band plays and are tunes whistled by all
the small boys in town. They are bright little
pieces with plenty Of "go" 70 them and will be
very acceptable to young piano players.
The Hawaiian songs are of course the most dis
tinctive feature, there are five in number. First
Of these is Hawaii POnoi, the Hawaiian national
hymn, composed by II. Berger. This is a we'll
known composition, both here and abroad. IL is
hymn which no country need be ashamed Of.
aloha ue' dove to YOU, is the composition of
the Princess Liliuokalani who owns the copyright,
but has given Messrs. Dat Il Co. permission TO
publish the song along with this set. Like all
compositions Of primitive races, there is certain
sadness in the air there is in another song "Ahi
weIa." Both these should become very popular.
the melodies are sweet and catching. "Eleile
1.-THE water fall, and . Ia Makani -" the wind,
are also pleasing melodies.
1t argues progress when city begins TO advance
in the arts, and no place need be ashamed of tie
step forward which Hawaii has made in musical
composition. II Is to be hoped that the collection
will be enlarged. there are several native airs
which used to be popular bat have fallen into OBJ
livion, which might be revived with advantage.
Praise is due to Mr. Berger for his energy and
ability in putting forward the collection in the
shape he has, and it is TO be hoped that he will
reap n proper pecuniary rcwaId.

The following suggestions with regard 10 cattle
branding may be of use here, though as far as is
known, Hawaiian cattle mon never brand on the
side The Shoe aud Leather Reporter, in recent
issue, gives diagrams illustrating the way in which
the hide is injured, and in one diagram shows
eight actual brands upon side of sole leather,
thus enabling the tanners TO get but half tho num-
bel of soles they otherwise would were there no
brands on the sides. In place of branding the
hides on the sides, the tanners suggest that the
brands be put upon either the neck, shoulders, or
butt, and that is the matter which the committee
OF tanners propose 10 bring before the convention
The practice the cowboys indulge in of prOdding
the cattle with sharp irons while they are being
driven is also condemned, and the tanners trust
they may be able to influence reform in that
respect. The use Of barbed-wire fences to incose
cattle is said to work injury to the hides by reason
of the cattle rubbing against the sharp barbs and
thus causing scratches in the hides which causes
them to split in tanning, thus being almost in
juriuus as side-branding. The loss of 81 dollar
per hide would not be likely to be felt by the cat
tie dealers but when the loss falls the tanner,
when competition is down TO such fine point, the
loss is stated to be serious. The loss at SOC. per
hide on each hide tanned in the United States,
would be likely TO amount to large sum in the
year, but the amount can hardly be calculated.

The Nar l'Orl independent, has an article on the
silver question which had better be TGad by every
one here, it is ominenty practical and gives whole
some advise. In substance it reads as fiNms:
No nation really wants any more of silver money.
ur. indeed, of ans kind Of money than will suffice
conveniently 10 perform its services. Up to this
point the character OF the services abuudantly
pays for the cost: yet beyond it we have an ex-
puusJ, without any corresponding bpCht. II is
with money as il Is with public highways When
there are already roads enough fully 10 accJmmo
date the community. II would he the shecrest folly
TO double them. SO IN regard to money when II
has reached the limit OF business demand, every
thing beyond this is evil the ground ufits cost
The whole Of the surplus Is dead loss Of labor to
the community, besides leading 10 numerous evils
which are sure to ensue upon an excessive quaint
Is of money. If merchant mas twenty NardstlCks
90 perform the services Of one, nineteen Of them
will be useless as yardstlcks, So If u community
has more money than 1t really needs to do the
work Of money, all the excess is not ONLY useless
but worse than useless. The people ART not made
richer or more productive by greater quantity Of
money than they actually need conveniently 10
conduct their exchanges.
The old mercantile theory that q nation is ~ be
deemed rich in proportion TO the amount Of the
precious metals which If can manage 10 retain was
long nco exploded by Adam Smith. This theory,
once prevalent, led the nations TO accumulate and
hoard these metals, and by stringent laws seek to
prevent their expectation. Adam smith saw the
utter fallacy Of the theory and the differences
drawn therefrUm, and proved 10 a demonstration
that supply beyond what IS needed for use in the
arts and use as money, if retained, was simply
dead loss, adding nothing TO the real wealth Of the
people and making no contribution to their pros
perity, while involving large cost for no practi-
cal end. Stored-up capital available for CJnsump-
tiun or available for the production Of other CAPT
tai, is so much accumulated wealth; but stOred-up
gold and silver available for neither purpose is 50
much capital existing IN the unprOdlctIyo cyudI-
tion. The best thing that a nation can do with
surplus of precious metals Is to sell ii to other
countries, and with il buy what it needs. 10
retain the surplus is to keep on hand costly ana
useless articles. for which there Is an ample
market in the outside world. 4 nation might Just
rs well hoard its surplus Of wheat, aud thus dur
ing the boarding period lose its entire value. Hav
ing a surplus Of anything, the sooner 1t gets nd Of
1t, IN exchange for something that il more wants,
the wiser it will be- The precious metals are no
exception TO this general law Of economic science.

The Fair.

Sit down and I u tell you who WAS there

Whose eyes would illumine the darkness OF night;
Commend me to one little darling In blue,
don't mean blue stockings, perhaps they were too.
She gave her small orders with dcbonnaire grace,
Caused such admiration from him at her side,
No effort he made his cnchantment could hide.
aud then the GALAXY in white and mob cap
Who waited 20 deity on any poor chap
Who had something TO spend on ice cream or cake.
And served him we'll that no change he would take
need not say more about them, at least here,
For I'm sure II did I'D not end till next year
And there was a sweet pretty creature.
Good temper in every feature
Her crcaIn-colorcd frock in its folds did cnlork

California Resorts.

A fine set Of Handbooks for the noted Summer
and Winter Resorts Of California have been for
warded to the GAZETTE by the southern Pacific
X. X. Co. The principal work is the Tourists
illustrated Guide a work running 10 some DO
pages. II contains great amount Of information,
gathered together by Major Ben. c. Truman. The
descriptions Of Scenery are good and the direction
to travellers minute. For any one intending TO
make an extended tour in California the work must
invaluable. Among the descriptions of the many
beautiful country residences, is one of an old
friend, that belonging TO Captain RS. Floyd. who
used to command the Idaho when she ran between
Honolulu and the Coast Is or lG years ago.
Captain Floyd most popular man and 1t
does one good to hear of him again. Here Is the
pen sketch of his beautiful summer home.
There are already number Of ChuteluI upon
the lake, the most pretentious and delightful Of
which is "Kono Iayee," the summer home Of
Captain and Mrs. r. ). Floyd, Of San Francisco.
II occupies one Of the pretuest spots upon the
lake, and Is nine miles by water from Lakeport,
and little five miles from Sulphur Bank.
II IS directly opposite hOnocku Tor Uncle sam
Mountain and Soda Bay. The Floyd place re-
minds one Of the villas on our eastern lakes,
except that at konO Iayee many varieties Of
northern and semi-trOpical fruits and flowers
grow the year round. Even during the rainy sea-
son, when the mountains surrounding Clear Lake
are covered with snow, kOno Tayee may be des-
cribed as a picture of summer set in a winter
frame. The house Is noble mansion, of many
apartments, and it sees few days during the sum
with others than the Captain and his ostimable
wife and little girl. This place contains several
hundred acres; and the acacia, pepper. pOme-
granite and eucalyptus intermingg their branches
with the indigenous oak and fir; the orange and
peach nod gracefully TO each other at each pass
ing wind, If proud Of their luscious fruits. and
the magnolia and the violet alike lmPrCguato the
evening zephyrs with their aromatic sweets.
There is all at KOno Tayec that wealth and taste
can appropriately suggest; and one can readily
conclude, the moment be reaches the quarter
deck I'VE mean veranda,D with its brass pieces
in proper positions, that Captain lloyd has not
spent his entire life outside OF mgu-0f-war. Mr..
Floyd also owns Quercus rancho, almost directly
opposite hOno Iayoe, where he keeps his horses
and carriages, and most Of his fine cattle and
upon which there Is an excellent orchard. he
also owns a number of fine craft, among which
are included the Getty of Lakepou. "a steamer
seventy two feet long, constructed IN m1dI and
rig like an ocean steamer, containing two engines
aud capable of making eighteen miles am hour.
the "Hallie,'' little steam yacht; two three
