aud it appeared to be everybedy's bust
ness to conjecture what it was-without
going out in boat to see, or investigate
along the beach. Our honest sheriff was,
Of course, in bed, and his men knew, per-
haps, it would not help matters any to
wake him, so he knew nothing of what
occurred until the next day, when he aP-
peared on the wharf with roll of Port
Regulations, as the tug was on her way
to Honolulu. Well, to continue the story,
everybody was wondering what the light
and object were; every little while there
would be lot of fash lights seen, as if
they were signal lights. Finally boat
was sent out, with Mr.. Makalua in it, to
see what the trouble was. He found it
was the Alert, and she was reported to be
in need of coal, although no investigation
was made of her bunkers, and Mr.. Maka-
lua, deputy sheriff, could not tell whether
she had boat or not on board His Elk.
J. NJ. Kapena interested himself in trying
to get some coal from Mr.. Turton, and
| had got the promise of some, but was told
that it was not needed now as the Mokolli
that happened along and communicated
with the Alert during the night, would
tow the Alert to Honolulu. At about
7.3O am. the Mokolii hitched on and
towed the tug out into the channel, where
she let go of her, and the tug went on to
Honolulu, arriving there the same day,
| with over ton of coal on board. Where
| did she get the coal? Why did she not
take the Turton coal? Why pay the
Mokolii for towing her, when she could
have steamed (and afterwards did) her
self Why did not the Mokolii go with
| her to Honolulu? are mysteries that re-
main unexplained at present. Everybody
here feels assured that a large lot OF
opium has been landed on our shores
/ somewhere between here and Olowalu. II
/ the tug was short of coal, why did she
/ come all the way around to Lahaina tC
get it when those in charge might have
known there was little chance of getting
it except from the mill, when she could
have gone into the port at Kahului more
quickly, and got any quantity, facts wei
known. as is that port too, to those Oh
board, some of whom have been running
regularly to Kahului in the Kilauea Hot
for years. Well, on Tuesday last, the
beach at Launupoko was strewn with Goa
sacks to the number of nearly 200; they
all came ashore at nearly one place; th'
bags had evidently not been in the wate
long, for there was still to be seen in the
corners d little coal. Besides the bag
there were lot of fresh onions, Irisl
potatoes and turnips. The potatoes Were
too heavy to float, and it looked as if the.

managed, and all pre-arratged. Mr..
Vida, who was on his way out TO Olowalu,
when about two miles from Lahaina, at
the place called Launupoko, heard a
steamer whistle three times, and thought
from the appearances that the steamer was
On the reef. He waited awhile for further
developments, but the lights on the
steamer were suddenly hidden from his
view, and she did not whistle any more,
and he went on his way wondering what
it was. Well, there are lot of sick peo-
pie here on this business; they think they
have missed big haul. The sheriff here
is to be congratulated upon his inaction
in the affair, for if he had found out any
thing he might have got hurt, and La
baina storekeepers cannot dispense with
his worthy presence until he dies q
natural death. Any other sheriff might
interfere with their sales of gin, beer and
brandy, all of which can be bought here
as easily as they can be bought in Homo
lulu, and for about the same price, al
though cannot vouch for the quality.

The Coming Railroad Ticket.
From the Elevated Railway Reporter

From the Elevated Railway Reporter
A new kind of railroad ticket is coming
to the front. 1t is best explained by
taking the Grand Trunk as an example.
That road prints book of tickets cone
tanning one thousand, or FIVE hundred, or
one hundred, or fifty tickets on page,
each ticket good for one. These little
tickets are smaller than postage stamps,
twenty on sheet, and perforated. You
can buy two, twenty, or one thousand of
them at fixed rate, and the company on
it's part is bound to accept one of them
for every mile you travel. You will not
be required to tell the ticket-seller where
you want to go; you will say, give me one
hundred miles, or twenty miles, or one
thousand miles, and get on board and
give the conductor enough of the little
squares to carry you to your destination.
There will be no such thing as lay-Over
tickets, or trouble of getting tickets ex-
changed, or loss through tickets not used
these little tickets will be as good as
money, and always current. The road on
it's part will be only protected from
scalpers and the like. The new system
has received the endorsement of the better
class of passengers, agents, and travellers,
and has been adopted on several of the
Western roads.

HOW SUCH THINGS COME TO BE
BELIEVED.

In a letter written to the Ne,0
Zealand Herald by it's San Francisco
correspondent, dated five days after
the hoax about the capture and sack
of Honolulu appeared in the ALtd
California, that grotesque story is re-
peated as a piece of news, accom-
panied by some very silly comments,
which would indeed have been
equally unjustifiable if the story
itself had had any foundation in
fact.
The correspondent in question is
person who writes very ably on most
subjects. His tor her, we believe it
is) letters, bearing the signature of
"Silver PEN" are widely read in the
Colonies and have attained some
celebrity. This, however, is not the
first time that gross ignorance about
the actual condition of things in the
Hawaiian Kingdom has been dis
played by this writer. When it is
remembered that this sort of writing
is perpetrated in San Francisco, the
city with which we have such con-
slant intercourse, with which we do
so large trade, from which such
feet of vessels and such magnificent
steamers sail every month for the
Islands, where ev cry second man has
some acquaintance who is in the
Islands, or who has visited them,
when we find educated and able
newspaper writer's speaking of our
affairs as they might do of those of
Samoa or of Apamama, we need not
wonder that in more distant places,
with which we have little or no In
tercourse, the very vaguest ideas
about the Hawaiian Kingdom should
exist. Whence is this false informa-
ton derived ? From whence are the
spiteful comments and ill-natured
criticisms that appear in foreign
papers about these Islands copied
From the columns Of the HGaO0iiGn
Gazette and the Saturday Press,
which have, for SO many years, been
viIifying the King, the leaders of the
native race, and those white men
who show any sympathy with the
natives-whose whole object seems
to be to defame and belittle the
native race and to overthrow the
established form of government, be-
cause by its numbers that race has
preponderating influence in it. The
lies, the sneers, the inuendoes, the
captious criticism, the personal spite,
the solemn balderdash and the silly
Jokes, in which form, from week to
week with little intermissiOn, these
papers have INDUCED, cannot be
judged at their proper weight by the
distant readers to whom they have,
with the money of the planters, been
so freely distributed. The lies are
taken for history, the sneers and in
uendoes, though for the most part
uninteliigible abroad, create the idea
that something somewhere is very
rotten. The most erroneous impress
sions as to their meaning are formed,
and in one way and another the ideas
of these Islands, their polity and
social condition becomes, to those
whose knowledge of them is derived
only from such sources, as grOtesque-
ly distorted as scene reflected from
a curved mirror.

The NOmad on the Currency.
IcoMMUNIcATED.l

To stranger like myself, knowing nothing
about your troubles and chickering's about
currency" leprosy, and all the other ills
you are afflicted with, I have made some in
quiries about your money affairs, and will
give you what information have received.
First: I find that the founders of this
Government had a law made, that where
there was any dispute in payments the
United States standard should be the legal
tender. That law was good one, and has
not been repealed. Coins Of all countries
were in circula ton, and answered all pur-
poses until 1876. Then a law was passed
that in all large payments IS per cent.
should be paid in American gold coin. After
the first thousand, IS per cent. should be the
legal tender. I am informed that that law
was dead letter on your Statute Books
like many other good laws not enforced, for
fear of stepping on some great ones toes.
As has been said, your gold law lay dor
mant until one Lazarus mot the one in
Abraham's bosom) resurrected it, and put it
in force. And, am told, that it was given
to jury of twelve men to say whether a
statute law of this country was living, dead,
or only sleeping, waiting for the fearless
hand of Lazarus to arouse it.
And some tell me that there was nothing
to distract your blissful dreams here until
this Hawaiian silver money came to the
country. Since then there has been nothing

settlement Ou the Land.

Mr.. EDITOR Il have seen several refer
ences made in the newspapers lately relative
to the settlement of Portuguese immigrants
who have finished their contracts. Of course
it is of vital Importance to the country, as
we all know, to offer inducements to these
people to settle as small farmers amongst
US.
Now in the district of Puma there are
thousands of acres of good land lying I'M
sonable price. Though a rough volcanic
country, there are numerous ki petkaS, or
openings of good, deep soil surrounded by
aG thickly studded with timber. There is
one within three miles of the boat-landing
of Pohoiki, at an elevation Of 1000 feet, con-
tanning 500 acres in one patch, and several
smaller ones close at hand. Of the largest
one part is owned by natives, part by Gov
eminent, and part by myself. It is good
land for growing Irish or sweet potatoes,
bananas, oranges, taro, corn, pia, ava,
or in fact anything that will grow on the
Islands, and could be cut to advantage into
small farms or homesteads.
There is a good wagon-road already half
way from the landing to this place, and the
balance could be made easily.
Surrounding these openings" is a natural
formation wiz. rich soil and aa) for the
cultivation of coffee, olives, the grape vine,
or figs (the drying of which last-named
article would make good business.
If the Portuguese are inclined to settle on
the Islands, small colony could be started
in this place without much difficulty. Ere
quent rains ensure plenty Of water.
This is only one place but it is the nearest
to a road and landing that is available. To
my personal knowledge, there is enough
good land in Puma lying idle to settle every
Portuguese family in the Kingdom.
Respectfully, r. RYCROFT.

1t is said that there was large money made
here formerly by selling sugar and rice in
San Francisco for gold, and then with that
purchasing fve-franc pieces, Mexican dol
lars, and American half-dollars, and bring
ing them down here. Now it seems to me
that the wrong party has imported the Ha-
waiian silver here. The merchants want
gold, the planters want gold-T want some
myself. Why, in the name of all that is
good and great, don't they get it? would
have plenty of it if 1 had the equivalent to
give for it.
I am informed that the planters want the
Government to get them cheap labor, and to
get them gold. They will next want the
Government to pay all the debts of those
who are behind in consequence of wild and
reckless waste.
Gentlemen bankers, merchants, planters.
and all others, a dollar is worth here, in
this country, less than in any other where
money is used. That is, it has less pur-
chasing power; and it may be possible that
you have too many of them. Your money is
not wealth-it is what you produce from the
soil. An abundance of the precious metals
| is not true wealth. They enhance the value
of products by depreciation of their own
values.

there are branch houses at Mimic and Park

probable that they will. The store at Mimic is
controlled by Birder, and the firm is known as
Sandager & Birder; those at Grafton
and Park River arc supervised by
Sandager. While the business of the
three stores is conducted as one establish
ment, each is separate and distinct in itself.
The firm of Sandager & Birder is one of the
most extensive and well known in that section
of Dakota. The member are looked upon ae
good business men, in every way responsible.
One of them has just succeeded the other 81
