THE VOLCANO.

The readers of history and travel
have ever been indebted to art, for
much of the interest that gathers
around past events and distant
scenes. Much of human life that
eXcites attention and that strikes
sympathetic chord i'll every intclli-
gent mind, would pass into obli-
vion, and, be buried out of sight
forever, if it were not arrested by
the painter or sculptor, and repro.
duced in form to be perpetuated
at least in the thoughts of observers
removed by both time and space far
away from the original
The great Hawaiian volcano, with
its fiery caldron of burning lava was
II prime natural object of curiosity
the world over, drawing to our
shores thousands of tourists, who
carried away with them, not only
vivid impressions of the volcanic ex-
hibition, but also kindly rccollcc-
tions of the climate, the society and
the institutions of the country, so
that Hawaii has warm friends in
every city and place of note on the
globe.
1t was n fortunate circumstance
that an able artist spent the summer
of 1885 about the Volcano, taking in
the grand scene and transferring to
canvas what persons who, have
viewed the original, pronounce a
very good representation of Hale
maumau, the New Lake, the Little
Beggar, the precipitous cliffs, the
kissing, rolling, and dashing sui.
phurous fires, and all the other
manifestations of agtated, enraged
nature in the wild abyss of Kilauea
Mr.. FurneauX and those who as.
sisted him, have rendered valu
able service to art and science, as
well as to the kingdom, in getting
up the panoramic view now on ex
hibition in the city. And if the eN
hibition proves to be good thing
financially, the public who contri
butte to it will only be too glad tt
know that the artist lives in bette
age than in those times when lon,
garrets and straw beds were til,
personal comforts, and want ant
semi-beggary the rewards of genius

CORRESPONDENCE.

EpToR BuLLETN:-Permit me
small space in your paper to state
few facts.
This morning as usual l came
down to my place of business, and
in trying to open my doors, L found
that the keys would not act upon the
lock. On examination | could see
something in the keyhole which l
extracted. 1t proved to be a blade
of knife. This was on the muuha
door. Trying the mahdi door, l
found two broken blades in the key
hole. | have reason to believe this
to be clear proof of an attempt to
force an entrance to the store. The
broken blades showed every indica-
ton that the parties tried hard to
get inside. The locks of the store
doors in thel Campbell Block" evi-
IDENTIFY, cannot be picked with
knife.
reported the case at the Station
House, where | was told that num-
ber of the police are sick, and last
night that part of the town (the
heart of the city) was probably left
without proper protection. which is
decided wrong, as well as careless
ness on the part of the Government
officers whose duty it is to protect
the business portion of the city.
There should be enough policemen
for reasonable protection. In this
case, sickness of number of police
men is no excuse at all. 1t shows
that a reform is badly needed in
the police force, and every tax
payer has perfect right to demand
from this Government that the
streets be protected with sufficient
police officers and Furthermore, that
every policeman on duty especially
at nights, should try to do what he
gets paid for, and not be allowed to
take rest at the corners and dream.
l do not write this simply to COM
plain, but feel it my duty to do so,
and | hope that the Marshal of the
Kingdom will at once look into this
matter. How dangerous it is to al
low the streets in the principal busi-
ness portion of the town to be with
out proper protection. Our police
force needs reform, and it cannot be
commenced too soon. Thanking you
for the space, Yours,
S. EHRLICH.
