Fifth-As AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM, the
DAILY HONOLULU PRESS possesses
unequaled advantages, having retained all the
subscribers to the late Saturday Press, in
addition to new subscription list, which is
daily increasing, SO that the paper is not only
enjoying large circulation in this city and
vicinity, but isalso mailed by every steamer to
subscribers at almost every landing on the
other Islands, and also to foreign countries,
thus combining the advantages of both daily
ind 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.

becomes more like the groaning of an
invalid than musical tone, or let her
squeak out the + in the third ledger

cry of pet lap-dog on whose toes
someone has stepped, and it will suffice
to fill the hall with enthusiastic
plaudits. Another songstress, who
may be able to sing the simplest melody
without giving one the cramps. and
whose warmth approaches the tempera-
turc of Canadian iceberg, will perhaps
display a flexbility of voice to rival
that of an instrument. As soon, then,
as she sets up her fireworks and rock
cts in the form of scales in sixtcenths,
as soon as she pierces ones tympanum

sistency and without taking breath, we
may rest assured that the parquet will
spring up from its seat and howl in
ecstasy. And still another singer may
have taken it into his head that de

that these qualities properly enjoy the

suffice to replace the real contents,
musical form, melody, tempo, and key.
To fill the exaggerated demands of
such bombastic, high-fying. affected,
and conceited style he assumes the right
of taking unwarranted liberties with
the most important works. Yet, if he
brings this system of play before GER

most lively and honest enthus iasm will

The projecting rocks gave forth at
