TO THE PUBLIC.

The attention Of our readers is invited to the
very liberal offer made by us, in another
column, to furnish any Of the articles specified
therein, together with six months subscription
to the DAILY Honolulu PRESS, at ein6 rates,
which are much less than If the publications, or
articles, were ordered separately.
We desire to introduce our paper into every
English-reading Family in this Kingdom,
feeling assured that it will be permanently
retained after its merits, as live, wide-awake
journal, are once known.
AS an advertising medium the DAILY Ho
NoLULU PRESS possessesunequaled advantages,
having retained all the subscribers to the late
Saturday Press in addition to a new subscrip-
ton list which is daily increasing, so that the
paper is not only enjoying large circulation
in this city and vicinity, but is, also, mailed by
every steamer to subscribers at almost every
landing on the other Islands and also to for
eign countries, thus combining the advantages
of both daily and weekly editions. The
coming month, especially, our paper will have
much larger circulation than all the Other
daily papers combined, as we intend sending
specimen copies to every resident on these
Islands who reads English
We, therefore, ask your cooperation in oul
enterprise and trust you will avail yourself o.
this offer. Very respectfully yours. ETC.,

The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY

Since Electricity has been applied for light
ing purposes, all efforts Of inventors have
been directed to construct a lamp for general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, IS that none of
the inventors could rid themselves Of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead Of first laying down the principle that a
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator OF Elec-
ricity in itself, /. e., in the foot of the Lamp.
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about a complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
Of lighting will be as cheap as gas " cents
per hour), and it has before the latter the i'm
mense advantage Of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree of temperature. 1t is further abso-
lutely inodorous, and does not need to be
kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
of fire, explosion or suffocation, as in the case
Of gas, if the key is left open and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu-
able. 1t is further preferable to any known
kind Of lighting for the following reasons
(I.) Its manipulation is SO simple that any
child can keep it in order.
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3) That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning Of the
cylinder, as in the case of Oil Lamps.
az That the light produced is soft and
most steady one that it never aickers, and
the fame, though being equal in power ol
lighting to gas, can be regulated to any de-
gree.
(5.) That every danger of fire is absolutely
excluded, as the light will extinguish immedi
ately, if by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should be broken.
(6.) That il will burn, even in the strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in.
valuable for iluminations, lighting Of gardens,
corridors, etc.
This Lamp is constructed for the present r
three different sizes:

In speech at a banquet rendered

land, Gen. Logan in speaking of the
campaign in Virginia said he learned
from the newspapers that the Demo.
cratic candidate for governor was the
saddle and bride used by Robert E.
Lee, and from the shouts one would
suppose the saddle was the candidate,
and not the man who rides on it. If he
should be elected it would doubtless be
BY the influence of that saddle and bri-
die. A treason.stained saddle appears
to be the leading card.
