quietly plodded along on life's highway up
to the allotted age Of man, or until he has
reached his three score years and ten. His
SEVENTEEN birthday occurred last Sunday,
and in honor Of that interesting event,
some of his friends took notion to surprise
him with o visit on Saturday evening.
With that intent they gathered at the house
of one of his neighbOrs, from which they
made descent upon his peaceful dwelling
on North street at about eight o'clock. Mr..
Claflin and wife, with two friends--who had
dropped in so as to be sure and have them
at home-were engaged in quiet game of
euchre when the company arrived. When
the bell rang, the host arose and went to
the door, which he opened with one hand,
while he held his cards spread out In the
other, and stood thus in the hall while the
unexpected guests filed by him to the num-
Der of about forty, and they all agree in
saying that Mr.. Clahin looked astoDished.
He soon recognized the situation, however,
and after the house was warmed and the
company seated DIR. p. ID. Bradford, by
way OF apology, as he said, for thus enter
ing his domicile unbdden, made short
but felicitous address on behalf of those
present and the fraternity of the Masons
and OF Odd Fellows, to both of which Mr.
Clatiin belongs, at present holding the office
of noble grand in the latter organization
When he was through, he called on Mr.. j.
X. Egerton who followed with few we'll
chosen words, at the conclusion of which,
on tne part Oh some - 1ellOW-CrattSmen "
and himself he presented the host with a
handsome silver-headed, ebony cane, which
had beenl procured in New York for the
purpose. Mr.. Cla1in had not only been sur
prised, but now he was rather taken down.
After expressing his gratitude for the gift,
and more especially for the feeling of fra
ternal kindness which had prompted it, he
begged to be excused from saying more.
Mrs. Claflin was also presented with a
china tea set, and some smaller articles,
from those present and from some absent
relatives. Then the party became social
and jolly, until half-past ten or eleven,
when it broke up, and everybody went
home more than satisfied, for it was one of
the most enjoyable social occasions which
our village has seen for some time.

A LETTER from Barcelona, Spain,
dated July Goth, says that the cholera
had already invaded all parts of
Spain, and that according to official
statistics it numbered up to that time
twelve thousand victims. His
Majesty's Charge d'Affaires for Spain,
Mr.. r. Moroner Sans, had been dan
gerously i'll of this terrible disease,
but was happily recovering. Mr..
BuItO, whom Mr.. Sans appointed to
act for him when he was taken i'll,
was less fortunate, and died after a
short illness.

FEARS have been entertained that
the supply of gutta percha will run
short in very few years on account
of the wholesale destruction of the
trees from which it is procured. A
substitute has, however, lately been
announced. This is the sap or juice
exuded from the "karite," or "care,"
a Central African tree, whose botan-
zeal name is bassia Parkii. AS the
tree is reported to grow in all tropical
latitutes, it is probable that it might
succeed in Hawaiian gulches.

ITIES.

When Mr.. HOffnung was In Homo
lulu, having large cOnsignments OF
wool from the Islands for London, he
had a conversation with the Agent
of the Oceanic Steamship Company
regarding the feasibility of securing
through transportation for it by way
of San Francisco and the American
continent. This matter had already
engaged the attention of the Oceanic
Steamship Company. On Mr.. HOff-
nung's arrival at San Francisco, he
at once placed himself in communi-
cation with the Managing Director
of the Company, through whom
a satisfactory arrangement as to
freight was made with the Southern
Pacific Railroad Corporation. Wool
or other products from these Islands
may now be shipped to London on a

boon to Hawaiian producers of wool,
which may be placed on the London
market in advance of the Australian
clip, and should encourage the sheep
breeding industry of the Kingdom.
This is another proof of the business
enterprise of the Oceanic Steamship
Company in promoting rapid and
cheap transportation between Homo
lulu and the markets of the world.
Mr.. Hoffnung, His Majesty's Charge
dAffaires in the United Kingdom,
deserves very great credit for the
active part he took in perfecting this
freight arrangement. 1t augurs well
for his services in similar directions
in England.

THE IMMORAL PLAGUE OF ENGLAND

There is nothing specially inter
esting in the news by the Alameda,
beyond the details of moral and social
rottenness in Great Britain. This is
the principal topic of discussion in
England at present, and it will prob
ably result in social changes of an
important character as the outcome
of it all. One at this distance can
hardly write intelligently on the sub
ject, but we may hazard the remark
that General Booths scheme of a
universal reformatOry appears to be
somewhat crude, and his method, to
say the least, extremely questionable.
This gentleman, who is head of the
Salvation Army, proposes to estab-
lish an office of help and inquiry,
with headquarters in London and
agencies in the provinces and prin-
cipal cities throughout the world.
Men speaking different languages and
familiar with the haunts of vice and
the traffic in girls will be employed
ready to assist all girls who wish to
reform, and who will aid the parents
and guardians of missing children.
In connection with the office, houses
of refuge will be established in Lon
don and elsewhere capable of accom-
modating one thousand persons each,
where girls will be provided for and
taught means of earning livelihood
and be restored to responsibility. In
these homes the girls will be under
restraint. The establishment of such
houses of refuge will especially meet
the cases of thousands of girls who
have been thrown destitute on the
world through the raising of the age
of consent. Receiving houses will be
established in Canada and the United
States. Mr.. Morley has promised
$4,000, and three other gentlemen
have subscribed 81 900 each towards
the fund.
This is the scheme as outlined by the
telegraph. 1t must be very clear to
practical minds that it does not meet
the case, What is wanted above all
things is to prosecute and punish pro-
fessional debauchees and their vile
agents, and enact law of such
stringency as may deter from the COM

remanded until moved on.
AVA Pau and Chan Cheong were
charged with cruelty to animals by over

Albert Kuniaukea was tried for mali
cious injury by breaking down fence.
A native, Kanoelina, who lives at Kau-
luwela, Honolulu, stated in evidence
that his wife has life interest in some
land at that place. The defendant went
there one day and broke a portion of the
fence down. Kaneolina did not say
anything to him, as he knew his remedy.
On the day that he laid the complaint
at the Station House, Kuniaukea went
out and knocked some more of the fence
down in another place. He was under
the influence of liquor. The fence was
built to keep animals out Kuniau-
kea was found guilty and fined 81 and
So 40 costs. He noted an appeal to the
Supreme Court.

Points of Interest from Hawaii.

KoHALA, August Goth.
The Sunday School scholars have ar
rived and the "woods are full of them"
Thirty bullocks and hogs without num-
Der have been ordered to meet the eX-
treme penalty of the law to satisfy their
religious appetites.
The approaching election seems to be
a theme of never-failing interest among
the numerous candidates, and from the
present outlook the signs indicate Gov
eminent victory, as many of the planters
are recognizing the fact that this is-the
only Government that has ever exerted
itself to procure sufficient labor. The
attacks of the "Gazette' on the japanese
"invasion" are well calculated to open
the eyes of planters who are struggling
against heavy odds, and only making a
profit for the very people that would
still further shackel them. Plenty Oh
labor is the only theory that will save
the planter, and white labor is too eX-
pensive to be of much avail in the cane
fields. All natives can get work at fair
wages at any time.
The move of the Board of immigration
in proposing to appoint an inspector OF
ployer and servant is good one. The
whip of the slave driver should be a
thing of the past, and the brutal and OBJ
scene language used by foreman, and
sometimes by managers, in ordering
their men, should receive its quietus
without delay.

IIONOhAA, AUGUST A1SI.
The Honokaa Sugar Company have
just completed their new arrangements
at the Honokaa landing. They have
erected a very large and commodious
warehouse with track from the end of
the wharf running right through the
house. One end of the house is set
apart for the large freight landed each
trip of the steamer, and the other end is
used exclusively for sugar. Freight is
landed right on the cars in sings and
hauled up in the warehouse as fast as
the ships boats can bring it to the land
ing, and sugar is shipped in the same
way. The present arrangements for
working are much quicker than they
formerly were, and do away with one
half the men used heretofore for landing
and shipping freight. This makes Homo
kaa one of the best and safest in fact,
the best landing between Hilo and
Mahukona, either for passengers, freight
or live stock All it wants now is for
the Government to do their part, and
make the roads along the district and
leading to the landing passable for
vehicles.
