The state of the Streets.

The condition of the streets of Homo
lulu after the recent showers was dis
creditable ; and now that the storm
water has drained off or evaporated, their
condition is very little better in places.
Merchant street, between Fort street and
the Post Office, is full of holes. This
being perhaps the most frequented bit of
street in the city, it should certainly be
put into a decent state of repair. Be-
tween Fort street and the Music Hall,
Merchant street is nearly impossible
after heavy rain. In the depression
near the Mutual Telephone Company's
office pool of stagnant water stands for
several days after rain, passing off slowly
by evaporation, leaving behind it coat
ing OF putrid mud, which, drying slowly
by sun ana wind, spreads germs Of dis
ease broadcast.
School street, between Fort and Nuu-
anu streets, is full of holes. 1t needs re-
pairing to prevent serious accidents.
The condition of Emma street, in the
depressed parts of it, is simply disgrace
full in wet weather. Nuuanu avenue has
been cut up by storm water diverted on
to the roadbed by the choked water
channels; and the road on the wharf,
from Fort street to the Pacific Mail
steamer, is always impossible after rain.
The hydrant on Fort below Queen street
is now nuisance. Owing to the want
of proper drainage it keeps the sidewalk
and street around in a puddle. 1t is
simply discreditable to all con-
cerned. Ii these defects are not
soon attended to and properly re-
paired, not only will great inconvenience
be experienced, but heavy expenditure
will be entailed on the public, when a
moderate outlay of money and labor
would now suffice

A Sick Fund to Benefit.

The benefit to be given Friday evening
by Flyers circus for the sick fund of the
Honolulu Fire Department is one that
should have a crowded house. The
Fire Department is a volunteer body.
Many of our readers are probably not
familiar with what the above fund is in
tended for. 1t is designed to aid firemen
who receive injuries at fires, help to
bury the dead of those who are in indi-
gent circumstances, and otherwise to re-
ieve the wants of distressed fremen.
Fines and penalties imposed on the m EN-,
bers of the different companies, and do
nations collected are all turned into the
treasury of the department for the sick
fund. There is now one fireman receiv'
ing weekly allowances, whose relief be-
gan some FIVE years ago, and he is still
being cared for. It is expected that the
department. will turn out in uniform.

n mover ana imposing ceremony took
place recently at the Widyodya Bud
dhist college in Colombo, Ceylon, BY which
a young and accomplished English lady
named Mary Flynn formally became a
professed follower of Lord. Buddha.
She was dressed in an elegant. robe of
black silk, sitting in the midst of a crowd
of yellow-robed Buddhist priests and re-
peating the Pansil The ceremony be-
gan by the high priest examining the
fair candidate as to the reasons Nthataed
her to desire to accept BuddhlsnsasFh her
faith, to which Miss Flynn answered
that, after having studied various reiig-
ious systems of the world, she found the
Buddhistic esoteric philosophy as being
most in accordance with her own reason
and common sense Other questions hav-
ing been satisfactorily answered by her,
the high priest administered to her the
five precepts, which Miss Flynn prom
ised to observe The ceremony ended by
the chanting of Ratana SGtta by all the
priests present.

Mexican Aristocrats.

Vera Cruz Cor Galveston Newsl
While race distinctions do not seem to
operate against the negroes In Mexico, es-
pecially in military service, 1t cannot be
said that anything like social equality ex-
lists. Even the negroes do not regard the
negroes as their equals It should be
recollected that Mexico was not settled as
the poor and oppressed, but was occupied
bv Castilians of the noblest families at a
time when Spain was mistress of the
world and the flower of chivalry. The
descendants of those first families still ex-
ercise controlling influence ia Mexico.
and prouder aristocrats cannot be found
under the sun.

KOHALA, Hawaii. A

AAOhAA-<A5 hawaii, aug. ZOb1.
Star Mill is about through with the
crop, having taken off nearly 1 900 tons
Multi Mill is through, having ground
2,OOl tons; and, though the smalles
mill in the district, it has taken off the
largest crop, and will do SO " some more
next grind
Dias, the popular tradesman here, has
opened new store at Kapaapu, and
seems to do thriving business there as
| we'll as at Kaiopihi. He seems to have
the lions share of the business.
DIR. Thompson has received fresh lot
of vaccine virus, and is ready to vaccinate
| any and all that may call on him free Of
| expense.
The Sunday school union is "pau" and
residents in the near vicinity are much
relieved to hear the good bye spoken A
| great deal of drunkenness prevailed, and
the odor of rum in number of cases was
stronger than the odor of sanctity. 1t is
also reported that the songs of the hula
were attempted, but frowned down by
the more pious No white brethren were
present.
1t is reported that man of the KOhala
Sugar Company, while working at the
shore, was severely bitten by a shark,
and nearly lost his life.
Mrs. King, of Lahaina, is visiting her
relatives at this place; and Mr.. and Mrs.
Vida, of Olowala, are soon expected. 1t
- !,
that Kohala has so much missed.
We hear that Mr.. VIM. White, form
erly Sheriff of this district, but now
resident of Hilo, is soon to return for the
purpose eff entering into the practice of
law 1t is to be sincerely hoped that he
will do So
HoNoKAA, Hawaii, August %, 1885.
On the arrival of the c. R. Bishop at
Honokaa on last Thursday morning,
several antiquated fossils belonging to
the police force were on the wharf, and
informed some of the merchants here
that they could not remove their goods
from the storehouse until the Sheriff got
back and opened them, said Sheriff
being then on his way from Honolulu,
and his arrival in Honokaa uncertain.
Gle has not yet got back.) The parties
to whom the goods belonged told the
policemen they could search the goods
at once, but they refused. We would
like to know if this is legal? 1t certainly
is not just. Or is it legal to open goods
UNFORTUNATELY at the landing, and
leave them all open and loose at the
mercy of Portuguese, Chinese, and ma.
tives? No such thing as a warrant is
ever thought OF. Are Honokaa and Ku-
kuihaele ports of entry? If so, a custom
house officer should be the one to do
this work We would also like to know
what becomes Of all the "okole hau
confiscated lately?
The greatest event of the season was
the ball given at Kukaiau on last Mon
day night. All the youth and beauty OF
the district were there. Several of the
young men had their hair powdered per
fectly white, and we should not be sur
prised if they would come out at the
next ball with their skulls shaved and
wearing pig-tail, la Chinese.
