Ms first and Only Love AFFAIR and It's SD
Termination.
Mr.. Buchanan was regarded, almost at
the commencement Of his Congressional
career. as a confirmed bachelor. his first
and only love affair having had sad
termination. The lady's name was Ann
Coleman. and she was the daughter q
a proud. wealthy citizen Of Lancaste1
In 1870 Mr. Buchanan was elected u
Congress. and the next long session wae

count of the heat. noticing that Mr. Blu
chanan had returned. went to the door.
and. passing the compliments OF the
evening. invited him in. with which he
complied, and they seated themselves
by large open window and engaged
in conversation Not more than twenty
minutes thereafter an anonymous note
was handed in to Miss Coleman, stat

was naturally somewhat troubled and

THE ROADS.

EDITOR BULLETIN ANY one read
ing last Wednesdays Gazette, and
not otherwise informed, would get
an exaggerated notion of the badness
of our public thoroughfares. Those
specially mentioned are probably no
better than represented; but they
cannot be taken as type of all
others. Our streets and roads in
general are moderately good, and
decidedly better than for many years
past, Notwithstanding greatly in
creased traffic. Nobody can con-
tradict this and tell the truth. The
Gazette may be right in saying that
we have no difficulties to fight
against similar to those countries
which have to contend against the
destructive powers of frost and
snow.'' But this is offset by the
fact that we have 40 material for
road-making equal in durability to
that of " those countries which have
to contend against the destructive
powers of frost and snow;" or, if
we have material of equal durability,
that which is ordinarily used on our
roads is not. Then, as to the dis
proportion between the money cx-
pended and the results produced, it
should he remembered that the cost
of road-maliing here is anaavoidaJly
greater than in most other places.
Let those inexperienced and unprac-
tical men who declaim about small
value received for taxes paid, con-
slider that most of the streets of
Honolulu have to be made of mate
rial drawn in OK or mule carts dis
tancc of mile and more, and that
one of those oX-teams costs five or
six dollars day, and cannot be in
duccd to work for less. Pray, what
big results can reasonable men ex-
pect for a given limited sum of
money at this rate of cost? If those
inconsiderate complainers will un-
dertake to lessen the price of labor,
cheaper the cost of bullock teams,
and reduce the distance of carriage,
have no doubt the Government
will cheerfully undertake to give
more road for the taxes received.

OUR HAWAIIAN CENSOR.

Lay not the tlattering JUNCTION to
thy soul, gentle Elele, that not the
faults of thy masters, but the ignor-
ance of hdole editor, speaks. No
apter reply to your silly sneers is
required than the words of the wise
man, " AS the bell clinketh, so the
fool thinketh. The journalist of
any experience can get the hang of
the politics of u new country quicker
than it's politicians sometimes care to
own. The most foolish conceit is
that which boasts pre- cminence in
what is abnormal, weak or wicked.
A Government is wounded in the
house of its friends when its apollo
gists have nothing better than sneers
to offset criticisms founded even
upon "school- boys standard. We
know enough of the natives and
their country to be convinced that
to coddle their weaknesses and
indulge their reactionary propensities
is the surest and the speediest way
to dispossess the native Hawaiian of
his nation. 1t is truly melancholy
to hear the fly from the spiders
parlor railing at those who would
deliver it from the trap Of partisan
ship. 1t is gratifying, however, to
find that fairness is even grudgingly
accorded us by our native friend,
for that has been our aim. 1t is to
be hoped the native press will make
the fairness of independence its rule,
as the Hawaiian's political weakness
his largely in his pliability to the
selfish manipulation of white adven-
turers. This is not provable alone
by contemporary events, but mat
Ter of historical notoriety. Our APP
peals in behalf Of better order of
things have been to no party in
stincts, traditions or prejudices, but
to whatever is honest, just and in
telligent in the body polite, and in
tended as much for cautionary as for
condemnatory effect upon the pow
ers that be.

MUSICAL NOTES.

Chants for improvement-Hymns.
Morning concerts are all the rage
in London.
Musical lectures are very popular
in England.
Queen Victoria has granted Balfe's
widow an annuity of S400.
M. Peru, a Partisan pianist, has
created q sensation by expressing
his willingness to play in cage full
of lions.
Herr Gustav Reithardt, the COM
poser of the once famous national
song, "What is the German Father
land:" died recently in Berlin, aged
81 years.
A trombone concert is announced
to take place soon in London. If
it is successful the bass drum and
the triangle will give a show all by
themselves.
A piano one hundred and forty
years old was recently ON exhibition
in Boston, Mass. 1t has but five
octaves, no foot pedals, and can be
easily carried under the arm.
The noted London journalist and
author, George Augustus Sala, who
is expected here about the middle. of
February, is the son of an Italian,
his mother being favorite English
singer.
In st. Petersburg skilful and pro-
minent pianists are so numerous that
it is absolutely necessary, in order
to avoid jealousy, to cast lots to
decide who are to be admitted as
executants at the approaching con-
certs to be given by the Musical
Society.
The Guildhall school of music, in
London, which has been moderately
assisted from the city treasury since
its formation in 1880, has entirely
outgrown its present accommoda-
tions. The common council of the
city, it is understood, propose that
land on the Thames embankment
shall be taken at ground rent of
f1500 year, which will be betrayed
out of income. Plans have also been
prepared for the new building, which
will hold nearly 1000 students, and
will be in every way worthy the city
of London.

Very perceptible earthquake shocks

Very perceptible earthquake shocks
were felt in this city last night and
this morning. About eight O'Clock
last evening, during brief lull in
wind and rain storm, shock was
felt, which probably few realized
was due to earthquake, but the evil
dence of gentleman who says it
splattered INK from thesstand over
his writing table, and made the
house shake, is conclusive that it
was not the wind or the cat. AT q
minute to six O'Clock this morning
there was q rather rough shock,
which flung window shutters open
and made beds tremble under slum-
bcring forms all ovd the town. 1t
felt to the writer of this as if big
mufiled stone had been hurled
against his house, and his bed shook
like the berth of q sleeping-car in
motion. The movement appeared to
have been from north to south. At

shock LASTED fifteen seconds.
