HONOLULU, March. "a, 1885.
Shipping movements since last issue have
not been so free as were last weeks yet we
note the arrival OF the Mariposa, and w. G.
Irwin Of the regular line, from San Francisco,
with the usual assorted cargoes. A few more
whalers have touched off and on at the por, this
week for men and supplies, en- route for the
Arctic, some transhipping their spring catch Of
oil. A few Others are yet expected. Yester-
dry afternoon the City Of Toxic arrived from
San Francisco en- cute for Japan.
Advices by the Mariposa, TO the and instant,
indicate the steady tone of the sugar market,
yet there is great caution among buyers lest
their actions cause rise in prices. This con-
dition is singularly alike in the London, New
York and San Francisco markets and looks
promising for an advance in rates shortly. San
Francisco figures for re fined grades confirm
the report Of a cut Of Y ofa cent per pound on
several OF their lines, while yellows have adj.
vanced X Of a cent per pound. Rice is quoted
firm at S cents, with large stocks on hand.
Molasses is reported plentiful and cheap.
The departures for the week have been the
Ceylon, in ballast for Namaino, several whsler,
and tender ]. A. Hamilton for the Arctic, and
c. o. .Whitmore for the Sound. To-day the
Mariposa will sail at noon for San Francisco
the w. II. Dimond and the Meteor will
follow next week. The d. c. Muna,
will leave to-day for San Francisco in ballast
Tomorrow the City Of Sydney will be due
from the Colonies, en- route Tor San Francisco.
In local trade we gather nothing Of impor
lance; business Of all kinds being exceed
ingly dull and the money market tight. Con
siderable produce is coming in from the othsI
islands all the plantations being at thei
busiest a, this time Of the year. This has CIV
abled the packets to load with dispatch ant
take heavy cargoes. Kahului has also favored
its packets in the same manner.

The Wiseman- sfm Marriage.

The Mariposa brought our popular fellow
townsman, Mr. ]. +. Wiseman, a large con
signment OF happiness and wife. Miss Molie
c. Still, the bride, came from California, where
she has been teacher in the San Francisco
Turk Street School for the past five years.
Her many friends and fellow teachers gave her
a farewell reception there on the eve of her de-
parture for the Hawaiian Islands. Previous
to the wedding Mr.. Wiseman secured pretty
cottage at Makiki, which he had finely fur.
nished, and every thing at ''home" was in readi-
ness when the young bride arrived. 1t was a
most pleasant affair The wedding took place
at their new home on las, Monday evening
Mr. Wisemans friends had taken things in
hand and when the bride and groom arrived
they found the rooms beautifully decorated.
Rev. ]. A. Cruran, took place insIhe parlor
under handsome marriage bell OF fragrant
tropical flowers. Joe did look happy-iar

E.-REFoRM IN POLITICS.


Now before closing, n few words about poll.
tics, in where it touches the population
question, and about the several deductions
which ought to be made by the government
land failing, it is the duty Of the press to for.
muate suggestions for them,) from the facts
revealed by the census, viz that the native
race is fast disappearing and that future popula.
ton must be looked for in foreign importations.
Here figures will perhaps render my task more
easy.
Eighteen years ago, as it is seen in my com
parative table, the foreigners numbered only
4,Io4 against s7,Ia5 natives, in 1872 they
numbered $3.50 against 49, o44 natives;n 1873
theywererespectively 10, At against A, oSS, and
to-day, by including the last two importations,
nearly $1,000 against less than 10000. II the
present proportions Of respective increase of
foreigners and decrease of natives retain for
the next period, the census Of 1890 would
show that but little over $4,000 natives will be
remaining, whilst the foreign element might
number 60, 200, difference which becomes
startling.
But even srpposing the increase offoreigncrs
to be much less, the yearly growing preponder.
ance Of this element over the native will show
10 wise statesmen the necessity Of not striving
ras it has been done Of late--to have in the gov.
eminent and in the legislature representatives
Of the native race only. As all efforts must

IMMIGRATION SCHEME.

My first step would be TO ask OF the Survey
Dcpar,ment-not as is now being done, a
paltrY overhauling Of those few government
lands actually unoccupied--a general and
special study, and a complete description Of all
the lands-whether pueblo or f,ipaff
uneu,ivated OF only used for pasture. whose
position, fertility, and facilities Of irrigation
would render them saitablD for settlements I;
this, Of course, would include the examination
Of all resources to be procured in the Shape Of
storage and deryaiions OF running streams, and
practicability OF anesian borings. whether
flowing or not. Out OF the lands found fit for the
purpose, those still belonging to the govern.
ment would | c divided out at once into de.
sirable rural homestead lots, but at the same
time enquiries would be Instituted as to the
possibility Of buying up OF sub-leasing for long
terms, the similar lands belonging TO private
parties think further that even
the buying out Of all leases Of gov
ernmeni OF crown lands would. in case like
this, be found paying investment for the
country at large. Most likely special law
would then be necessary, empowering the gov
emmeni to take possession Of the mos, desirable
tracts Of land ior locating towns and villages,
on this we'll known principle, called in Europe,

Tuesday morning Sheriff S. G. Tucker,

train south in search Of John Austin, who
brutally murdered Alex. Green in house

who escaped with his paramour, Ada
Shepherd. Upon the officers arrival at
Lochbie, they found two of AusJin's as
sOciates, James Floyd and Thomas An
dersOn, noted colored gamblers. They
were arrested and taken to Gainesville
by Mr.. Dromgoole. Sheriff Tucker, being
closely on the trail Of Austin and Ada,
followed them TO railroad camp II miles
south of Ocala, where he arrested both of
them.

uine AlbinO at large. The object of our
sketch is boy, whose mother and father
are both perfectly black, and live in the
negro settlement on the railroad track.
The little fellow answers TO the name of
Jimmie, and his mother tells our
representative that he is about 4
years old. His skin is pure
milky white. and his kinky hair
is OF a similar shade; the features are all
strictly African with the exception OF the
pigment. His eyes are as pink as those
of a white rabbit, and have that peculiar
restless movement so noticeable in these
freaks of nature. Jimmie is robust,
healthy child, with no weakness except
ing that of vision, his eyes, when he took
his hat off appearing to hurt him by con-
tact with the light and his mother states
that he can see much better in the night
than daytime.

Ancnsta NiiIIers Assipn.

The milling firm of John NJ. Clarke's
Sons, of Augusta, on account Of dull times
in mill business. have been carrying a
heavy debt several years, and finding that
the interest ate up the profits, they sold
their -four mill to the National bank Of
that city recently TO pay the largest item
OF Indebtedness. This caused a rumOr Of
their failure, but they were moving along
in the commission business, and conduct
ing a cotton and yarn mill, until Wednes-
day a note for 5000 in the Commercial al
bank fell due and went to protest. The
firm decided that In justice to other cred
itOrs, who are kindly disposed, an as
Segment was their best course, and 1t
was made with Hon. j. &. G. Black as as
signee. After turning over the mill,
which is worth about 100000, their indebt-
edness is not large, and all the members
OF the firm turn over their property in
the settlement. They owed the Georgia
railroad 100000. and the Planters Loan
and Savings Bank $4,000, but settled with
them in full by deciding real estate as they
did with the National Bank, turning over
the flower mill. Other small Indebtedness
will be met as far as the firm can pay for.
They own cotton mill worth 49,, 900, but
part OF it's machinery is under mortgage
to Northern firms that furnished it.

Fulton County's Whisky Fight.

The County Commissioners Of Fulton
have ordered registration of voters to
proceed in that county under the general
local option bill, and have appointed city
and county registers for every district in
the county. The city registers of Atlanta
are to get $50 per month each, the county
registers 500.
At Wednesdays meeting the Commits
sioners also raised the county license for
the retail of liquor from $500 to 81, 500 a
year. This applies to the county outside
OF the city, and was done because the
Commissioners are afraid OF a compTo-
mise between the Prohbitionists and
the City Council, by which the latter
may raise the city license for the retail
of liquor to $1,000 year. With
the license outside the city only $500,
II the Council should raise the city license
enterprising barkeepers might open up in
the country, v0u know. Some of the
commissioners seem to think that If the
Council declares for a license high enough
the fanatics will forego the fiery pleasure
of fight against whisky. A high license
in Atlanta would shut out the dives and
increase the number of edlded saloons in
the centre OF the city. Poor men say that
this would be legislation in the interest of
mOnOpOiies. The big bugs dOn't want the
sioners seem to be pretty solid for prOhi-
bitiOn, and ThrOwer's crowd have often
registered bloody vows that they are dead
against high license-dead against any
thing which win not drive whisky out.

AHAuNTED HOUSE.
Strange Noises Heard ON Nassau Sound
by Two Gentlemen from Jackson
willie,
From tho ,Eaoksenrills Herald.


by Two Gentlemen from Jackson
willie.
From, the ,EackseHrills Herald.
Col. j. 4. Hart and Gen. Ledwith. Of
this city, returned from q fishing trip to
Nassau sound. While ut the sound they
took refuge Saturday night in an old
house OF Mr.. Louis Roux, near the water.
All went we'll until about midnight, when
strange noises awoke the two gentlemen
and two colored men they had with them.
The cOlored men went back to the boat,
as they were certain the house was haunt
ed, and refused to remain there. They
came near drowning during the storm
Saturday night while on the boat.
Col. Hart and Gen. Ledwith remained
at the house and listened TO the noise, but
were unable to account for 1t. A chair
was moved about the floor, but no one
could divine what power moved it. Col.
Hart would strike matches and could see
nothing, but as soon as the light was eX-
tinguished the noise would be renewed
again. They imagined they could see
some object at times, but failed to find it
when q match was struck.
Col. Hart said, in the Herald office to-
day, that he neither believed I'm ghosts nor
was he at all superstitiously inclined,
but he never was so outwttted before, and
could not imagine the cause of the very
strange proceedings, and he is not alone
in this mystery, for others who have Wis
tied the same house tell OF these unnatural
and very strange noises heard on different
occasions. The house is said to have
been erected out Of the timbers and plank
ing OF a vessel wrecked yea 3 ago, and
many lives were lost at the time Of the
wreck.
The two colored men came TO the house
Saturday night, ssyin& they came in an
swer to three blasts of a horn. Neither OF
the white men heard the horn at all, but
the colOred men declared they did, and it
was blown at the house in which the
men were sleeping.
sunday night a lamp was kept burning
all night and no ghost, or whatever it
was, disturbed the inmates.

A Frightened Mule.
F,oa "a 4 lnerleua Renullican

Tuesday night COW ran down Forsyth
street, with q barrel over her head. One
horn had punched through the side Of a
