"Bon March"

The significance Of this, our Opening, can
be best realized by those who visited us on
this occasion, 1t being our first formal
Opening, we were naturally very anxious
as to results, and altho "Old Prob" threw
obstacles in our way in the element of
rain, the success,wa nevertheless apparent
and doubly gratifying to us, and If the old
saying be true
Coming events cast their shadow before
Surely our future Openings have cast their
shadow and made for us friends. AS long
as the BON MARCTE purposes to push It's
business upon lninciples that have thus far
proved so benefcial-and this it will do
we can rely upon the people Of Washing
ton for their liberal patronage,

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
OUR NEW YORK LETTER.

While it is true that great riches
bring with them great privileges, it
is no less true that they multiply
cares, and as they increase "Lo! how
they increase who devour Them"
This is especially true of the richest
of our citizens, VIM. III. Vanderbilt.
People have become accustomed to
thinking of the millions that he is
credited with possessing as not only
exhaustless them selves, but, on the
contrary, producing more money faster
than the Vanderbilts can spend it.
But it is common saying that f'no
one knows what he can do until he
tries" and so it comes out that in
spite of the $2,OO0,O00 left VIM. K.
Vanderbilt by his grandfather, he is
now pensioner of w. H. to the tune
of $1,000 per month. And Cornelius,
who received S5,OOO.000 from the
same source, has been ''unfortunate"
in Wall Street speculatiOns, and
pretty much all of this sum has been
lost. The forty or fifty millions still
in the hands of William II. may last
while longer. but not if the specu-
latOrs can prevent it. Whatever may
be the fate of the Vanderbilts in the
next few years their millions will un-
d0ubtedly be more or less scattered
and divided, which will be boon to
many.
Amongst other matters of local in
terest here there is the effort made by
few resolute women to break up a
nuisance in the shape of huge pile
of manure (said to contain not less
than 10000 cart loads) which has been
allowed to accumulate at the foot of
And street for years. Our Board of
Health had ordered it's removal, and
their orders were being carried out by
the proprietor, but in such manner
as to- convince some of the residents
in the neighborhOod that one end of
the heap would grow from daily aug
mentation faste9 than the other side
from being carted away. So the
ladies-God bless 'em-took the mat
ter under advisement and appealed TO

THE TREATY.

There has been hope that the vote
on the Convention extending the
term of the Reciprocity Treaty would
be taken in the Senate before the adj
journment for the holidays. Certain
Senators who are friendly to the Ha-
waiian Treaty, but opposed to the
Mexican and other Reciprocity
Treaties, were DESTROYS that the
former should be considered apart
from the others and brought up
first. General Miller, the Chair
man of the Committee on Foreign
Relations had different idea, being
apparently anxious that the favor
extended to the Hawaiian Treaty
should be available to lift the others
along. On the 18th he made his views
known to EIr. Carter. This put an
end to hopes of the matter being
brought up before the adjournment,
as, by custom, the chairman of the
committee which has charge of a
measure, is the person to move in
regard to it. Shortly afterwards the
Senate adjourned for the holidays
till January the 9Th, SO it will be
the 22nd of the month before we hear
any further news about the Treaty.
1t may not be amiss to remark here
that rejection of the new Constitu-
ton would not necessarily indicate
danger of the ahrOgation of the
Treaty. A bare majority in the SEN
ate can prevent the latter, whilst it
takes two-third majority to carry
the former. This, in full Senate,
means a difference of fourteen votes.

william Sharon, elected United States
Senator for Nevada In 1879, was succeed
ed by James Graham Fair, March 4,
1Ss1-a gain OF one vote to the Democratic
interest. His senatorial career was, per.
haps, less remarkable than the notoriety
given his u ame in consequence OF his
position as defendant in q divorce suit
now before the Superior Court, San Fran.
cisco. The plaintiff in the case IS Sarah
Althea Hill, who claims to be Mrs.
sharon, and seeks TO be divorced from
her alleged husband, In consequences of
his alleged desertiou and other alleged
marital unfaithfulness. Great interest is
manifested in the case, which developed
a mass Of somewhat highly favored tes-
tiuony. Claims were made IN behalf
Of the plaintiff that she was privately
married TO the defendant in 1880, under
q contract based upon section IS, OF the
Civil Code Of California, and signed by
him; that in November, 1881, the de-
PENDANT en- ployed personal violence to-
wards the plaintiff because she refused
90 break up the alleged connection be-
tween them, and deserted her In the fol-
lowing November; that the alleged con-
tract was not to be made public for two
years, unless with defendants consent;
and that ex-senator Sharon had repeat
edly. In writing and other ways, recog-
nizsd plaintiff as his wife. On the other
side the claims ares that the defendant
knew nothing OF the alleged existence OF
q marriage contract until within sixty
days from the commencement OF the
ETiai: thGt on the 9th of November, 1881,
the defendant gave the plaintiff 81 800,
and thereby procu red from her q release
from all claims whatsoever, which al
legged release was removed from Sha-
r0u's rooms by che plaintiff; and that
the defendant never was married to the
plaintiff, neither was he a party TO any
agreement to marry her. Among the
sensational Incidents OF the trial was the
production In court OF a parcel contain
Ing portions of Senator Sharon's cloth
Sng, which, it is alleged, were placed un-
der coffin, in the grave OF person de:
ceased, by the plaintiff, with the super
stitious idea that to do this would In
crease her influence over the ex-senator.
Ex-senator Sharon is many times
millionaire, man we'll advanced in life,
and the father Of grownup children. he
resides aE Belmont, near San Francisco
In an elegant mansion, where many dis
EiuGuishsd Americans and foreigners
have been entertained. He was born In
Smithfield, Ohio, was well educated,
and adopted the law as his profession.
After some years he removed to Nevads,
where he began business az banker.
He afterwards became trustee OF the
Bank Of California, San Francisco, and
ing In Nevada. The decision An the di-
vorce Ease above referred TO will DO

NEW YEAR DAY FEASIS.

Year by year the observance o.
and merry making has increased
amongst the native population OF
Honolulu, until now there is hardly
household of that nationality that
does not sit down to a stable" piled
high with pig aud poi, fish and fowl,
shrimps and seaweed. There is no
people that we are acquainted with
who enjoy q good 'sfeed' more than
the Hawaiians. It is not alone that
they can and do make so many aPpe-
tizing dishes out of tn products of
the Iaad and the sea, for the Chinese
probably excel them in this particu-
lar. Neither is it that they provide
such quantities of food, for the Fiiians
are far ahead of them in the album
dance of their feasts; but in the mat
ter of enjoyment, and that, too, of not
altogether sensaous kind, the ma
tive Hawaiian beats the world.
In the first place. he is not to be
,daunted by any difficulties that may
surround his obtaining the requisites
for feast. They do not often arise,
for the pig he has with MIN always,
the fat dog is ever at his feet. From
his gar'ien-patch, no matter how
sm I'll it ny be, he can always
gather the glowing capsicum, from
his reef-iined shores, the saladaci0us
sesweed and appetiZing shell-fish
I,ry iAo for hi III
crustscea, sea-eggs and such-llke
food, and countless other edibles are
found in the forest and on the beach.
The preparation of the feast is not
for him anu his the formidable mat
ter that it is with our good house
wives. His domestic arrangements
are not disturbed by the presence in
the kitchen of formidable ':cook,"
In his dining-room of a display of
table truInpery,in his house generally
OF tired wife, girls en- pGpittote and
preparation, none of these things
trouble him. All hands arc cooks,
and when the hour arrives the feast
is ready.
Aud on such an occasion the true
nature of the happy Hawaiian asserts
itself. He fingers loug before the
we'll spread XII leaves that. with him,
serve as table clothes, napkinsrdishes,
etc. He rightfulIy eschews che use
Of forks, using his fingers in dainty,
satisfying manner, that no other be-
furcated implements can eqnal. And
withal, he has an abundance of that
best of all ''patent digesters," cool
humor. laughter, and uneonvention-
atty. For him, at such times, there
is no mental or physical "morrow."
He enjoys himself thoroughly and
completely, and our earnest wish is
= taat he may DO SO for many years,
especially upon the commencement of
each New Year.

of the liberality of the advertising
public in San Francisco can be formed
from the fact that the two colored
advertisements on the cover of the
Christmas Wasp were contracted for
at $500 each.
Tie graphic description of the vol
cano OF Kilaue on the first page
attract the attention of tourists this
way, and will help the Islands not a
little.
And while on the subject of news
paper enterprise, we may mention
that by special arrangements made
in San Francisco, the PACIFIC COM
SIERcIAb ADVERTISER will have,
each steamer, the facilities for fur
nishing the latest items on matters
Of public interest within few hours
of its reception here. AS an example
of this we may mention that the
reading of Judge Sullivan's decision
in the SharOn-Hiu case was not
finished until u little after IL O'Clock,
and by 1 PM. it was published in full
in the EUening Post, the plates for
warded to this office, and the Extra

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE.

The San Francisco Wasp has made
big hit with its Christmas number,
and especially with its superb picture
ia colors of the burning lake of XII
lauea. The entire edition of $4,000
copies was sold before noon of the day
OF publication. and 10000 more copies
could have been disposed of. A re-
quest was made that the original of
Jules Tavernier's picture be exhibited
SC the New Orleans Exhibition, and
the proprietors of The Wasp have
consented.
Such an enterprise cannot fail to
meet with appreciation ard success,
and we may add that the exhibition
of the splendid view of Kilauea can
not filit to induce many to visit the
volcano, and we may thank the gen.
tleinan who conceived the idea of
getting up this picture, as we'll as the
artist who executed it, for first class
advertisement of a leading feature of
the Islands.
The Wasp Publishing Company in
tended sending extra copies of the
Wasp to Honolulu, but were pre-
vented from so doing owing 10 the de-
mand in San francisco, where copies
were selling for 81 each on the streets
