Hawaiian Notes.

The wear has been very dull one SO
far, through the decline in sugars and the
fear that the natives and planters have
regarding the effect OF the treaty re-
Gently concluded between the United
States and Mexico. While they have no
fear of the renewal and continuationof the
reciprocity treaty now in force between
the islands and the American Govern
ment, still they dread competition with
Mexican sugars in the future and proph-
esy all sorts of commercial cyclones.
The truth is that these islands will not
and should not yield more than 60, 900
tons of sugar annually, the highest ex-
portation so far having been 81 900 tons
in 1882. There are 10000 acres under
sugar cultivation in the Hawaiin Islands
to-day; it is possible to cultivate $4,000
acres, but no more. In fact. everything
has been put into sugar, at all times a
dangerous commodity in the market, to
the neglect of coffee, which thrives SPLEEN
didly. and has only nominal acreage
in Kauai, the westernmost island, ex-
cept in Niihua. Rice will flourish all
over the islands, and the Chinese are
most useful and adaptable in reclaim
ing waste lands for this purpose and
also for the planting of bananas, mango,
and guava trees. Years ago these isl
ands raised splendid cereals, and the
flour of the Sandwich Islands was noted
for its excellence. So were the pota-
toes, which now come from Australia
and the United States. In fact, the
planters have abandoned everything for
sugar and are now learning their mis-
take. Cotton, grapes, vegetables of all
kinds grow here bountifully, and there
is practically no limit to the field open
to prudent and energetic capitalists.

Painfully Embarrassed.

A stranger who got into the Union
Depot yards yesterday, while trying to
find the railroad ferry slip, would have
been run down by one of the numerous
switch locomotives had not a man at
work in the flour sheds seized him and
pulled him off the track. The stranger
was greatly confused and shaken up
for a moment. but after he had taken
seat on the platform and got his
breath he called out:
"My man, that was nobly done!

cash."

The stranger breathed heavily,

"Yes, feel just like making you a

This was a painful reduction from

brushed away at the strangers hat to

He got out his wallet, which was

"Ten dollars would buy your wife q
dress, and every time she wore it you
could think of me-"
"Yes. SIR
The bill came out but was quickly re-
placed and after minute spent il
some mental calculation the stranger
all at once handed out a two-dollal
bill with the observation:
