THE srEA,rERs.

The new sugar contracts may possibly
make difference in the carrying trade
$50 great difference as to render un-
profitable the semi-monthly line now
carried on by the Oceanic Steamship
Company. If either the Alameda OF
Mariposa, or both, be withdrawn, the
loss Of comfort and convenience to the
public will be great. The two boats
have become like personal friends, a:
twice month we welcomed the cominl
and sped the parting guest Then
courteous officers, elegant and luxurious
appointments, good fare, security anc
regularity in transit and good qualities
''too numerous to mention have made
them popular in the best sense. i
they leave us they will be MISSED by
the entire community. But it has lonl
been known that the carrying trade o
the Islands legitimately going to steam
ers cannot support two steamers
month. And the only reason for theil
continuance has been Mr.. Spreckels
pride in maintaining the service he hac
perhaps too hastily initiated. We hope
means may be concerted whereby eithe
the Alameda or the Mariposa ma.
continue monthly trips, alternating will
the monthly steamer from Australi
and New Zealand.

Honolulu is fast approaching met

features, it is not unworthy of its fame.
Mr. Sala, citizen of the world, and the
prince of descriptive writers, pronoun

without cause, therefore, when visitor:

disappointed--not with the climate, MOI
with the beauties of the place, but witt
its abominable sidewalks, and the rat,
which they pay for hired vehicles to ge
from place to place. 1t has long beer
hoped, by at least mechanics, clerks
and men of small means, who are un
able to keep carriage, or to hire one
that the tramways, for-which charter
was granted by the last legislature, would
soon be in operation. 1t seems by the
farce enacted week or two ago, how
ever, that such is not to be the case. Is
it possible that those who obtained the
charter are not acting in good faith ? Ii
such be the case, it ought to be looked
closely into by the next Legislature

Very little is known at New York of
the flibustering expedition which is said
to have sailed from Key West, Fla,
August a7th for Cuba 1t was reported
that few men were seen by some
night watchmen going toward a small
pier IN the upper harbor, accessible
only to small boats, carrying packages
looking as if they contained carbines.
The Spanish Consul says that the
schooner Emma M E0a, which was
reported as having sailed for Lagumae,
Mexico, took perhaps fifteen or twenty
Cubans from small boats in the harbor,
and that they have probably gone TO
Cuba. The revenue cutter DiH was at
Cedar Keys, and there was no vessel
to send in pursuit.
The Treasury Department has paid
out about $Io,ooo,ooo on account o
pensions tor the Month Of August
1t is therefore expected that the de
crease of the public debt for August
will not be as large as usual.

A Plea for Sweet Apples.

There has been much said of late
against early and fancy sorts of apples as
unploiIable. AT this time, the sentiment
that there are too many OF this sort pre-
yaIle largely, and with good reasons as
uy self think. believe with the rest that
only standard solts-the Baldwin being
the standard sOrt-wll be found useful
lDr market purposes. so much for gen
eral principles, and consequently the plea
| have to make here is not for the early
SORTS generally or in abundance, but for
liberal supply Of sweet apples, which
believe will be found very valuable for
home use-saying nothing in relation to
markets nor To sweet apple sauce but to
feed the pigs on,
1t is d fact conceded by all our physio-
IogiSts, that the sWeets-as set over
against the acids which deplete the sys-
TEN sOmewhat-are fattening. On this
principle, which ! regard a true one,
sweet apples are excellent to fatten with,
even alone, and when combined with
meal after being cooked comprise a food
that is well nigh complete for our hogs.
And it is not all theory either, or at least
lne theoly can De Verlned ana ]uStlhed by
observation and practice.
have no doubt of the efficacy of this
food as fattener, judging from my own
limited observation and experience And
/ think every farmer in grating over
some of bis numerous early sorts would
do well-exceedingly well-to put in
their places two or three kinds of sweet
apples, early and late varieties so as to
have succession through the apple
