Arrival OF the SEararoa.

The Union Company's Royal Mail
steamer 4Iararoa arrived on Saturday
afternoon about two o'clock, six days
and a half from San Francisco. She
brought seventeen cabin and eleven
Storage passengers Tor this port, and
had in transit for the Colonies thirty-ore
cabin and ninety-eight steerage pa
sengers. Among the latter were fifty
nine of the Zealandia's crew who were
returning to Sydney. The Mararo@
brought a very light cargo for this por..
but was full up for the Colonies. Fifteen
bags OF mail were brought for the Post
Office. After taking in coal, passengers
and the mails, the Mararoa resumed her
voyage about half-past one o'clock Sua-
dav morning.

Presentation to Captain o,connor.

On Saturday evening about twenty
members OF the Queens Own, in COM
mand OF Lieutenants J. VI. Kaneakua and
J.. n. K Keola, marched to the Oceanic
Company's wharf to say goodbye to
their late commander, Captain O'Con-
nor. The latter happened to be on the
wharf, and Lieutenant Keola, on behalf
of the company, presented him with a
very handsome gold mounted cocoanut
cane with the following inscription on
it: Presented to Captain W. F. O'Con-
nor by the Queens Own Volunteers, II.
l., April, 1886" The Captain was taken
by surprise, but recovered sufficiently to
thank the donors for their handsome
gift. After giving three cheers for the
Captain the company withdrew.

rhe Hawaiian treaty.

To the Editor of 'Bradstreut' :"
SE-The opposition to the Hawaiian
treaty Is causing considerable anxiety
among the American merchants on the
Pacific coast. In the first TWO months OF
this year the exports from san Francisco
TO the Hawaiian Kingdom have only been
exceeded 10y those TO the United Kingdom.
Trade in San Francisco has been exceed
ingly duh Of late and MERCHANTS have
felt the general depression that Is apparent
everywhere, consequently it Is only natural
that they should be anxious at the possible
loss OF an export trade amounting TO
So 600 600 q year, in addition 10 the stimu-
lus given To local trade by the large ship
ping interests, passenger travel, and local
manufactures. Most assuredly if the
treaty be abrogated a great proportion of the
trade will drift to Europe and Australia,
and the exports from san Francisco viii
dwindle down again to the insignificant
sum that they aggregated before the treaty
came into operation.
Any action that is being taken on the
Pacific Coast to insure its continuance Is
done by American merchants and citi-
zens They do not think II right that their
business interests should be overthrow
for the sake OF the eastern refineries which
have a larger field for their operations than
their co-freres i'm the west They are also,
naturally, better acquainted with the true
status OF American interests on the Isl
/ ands, and the following few facts viii show
that they have sound basis for their
/ claims. For instance, according to the last
/ census returns of the Hawaiian Kingdom
/ the American residents there are
engaged in every branch of trade
/ besides their large planting inter
ests. No less than seven-eighths Of the en-
/ tire capital invested belong to Americans,
who, consequently, have the greatest infu-
. euce. There are eishty-fuur sugar pIanta-
tons, sixty-three OF which are owned by

Intere.tins Racing Event.

Last year May D., belonging to Mr.. w.
H. Cornwell, and ROsita, the property OF
Colonel Spalding, ran as three-year-olds
at the Kapiolani Park track, on May
24th, and made one of the most interest
ing and spirited races OF the season.
This year they are to meet again on the
same track as four-year-oids, race hay
ing been arranged between their owners
some time ago, to come off on the oath OF
May. May D. arrived from Maui on Sat
urday, and was at once sent to Mr.. Corn
wells training stables at the Park. The
mare is in splendid condition, and bar

for her worthy rival Rosita. Colonel
Spalding will bring Rosita from Kauai III

will be discussed at length on the second

Shipping statistics show that more than |
four-fifths Of the merchant vessels arriving |
at the different ports ON the Islands carried |

cludes those arriving from Eastern ports, |
but is exclusive of nearly thirty American
whalers that annually call there for sup
plies or to reft. As far as San Francisco
is concerned, the number of steamers and
sailing vessels that clear for the Islands is
more than the number that clear for any
other country. In point of tonnage they
rank third on the list, being exceeded only
by the vessels clearing for the United
Kingdom and Australia. There are in adj
dition over fifty steamers and schooners
trading between different ports on the
Islands that were all built in the United
states The imports embrace the principal
staples for everyday use and consump-
tion, such as boots and shoes, bread books,
bricks and other building material, cereals,
canned goods, clothing, dry goods, furni-
ture groceries, hardware, hay, leather
machinery, butter and provisions, cigars
and tobacco, live stock, etc. Taking the
9 IL.
returns show that there are over 80 600
horses, valued at $1,812,325, and 5000
mules. valued at almost $500, 900 All of
/ the latter and most of the former have
been imported from America, being bred
bv the stock raisers of California.

The comparison with Japan represents
more than one and a half times the pOpu-
lation of that country, and as most of its
trade with the United States Is in the
hands of California, it is absurd to say that
no benefit is derived from our Hawaiian
trade.
If the sugar aspect OF the case be eX-
anined. it Will be found that the imports
rom Hawaii play no part in regulating
prices in the United States, and form a
very insignificant proportion Of the total

Virtue and sobriety in Congress

speak and to give and work for the cause
OF Christ, examples worthy the honored
name they bear. At this anniversary we
had ringing words for the right. We have
reason to be proud OF the American con-
gress, the noblest body OF statesmen under
the whole heaven, worthy the grandest gov

South African Diamonds.

Early in 1867, the first South African
diamond was brought to the town OF Coles
berg by a hunter named OReiTly to whom
it had been given by a Dutch boer family
named Jacobs whose child had found it in
her play. 1t was carried to the Paris expo
%sition, and by the following year diamond
digging had been begun in earnest. In 1869
the African Kohinoor valued at $3.50, 900
was discovered. By 1870 public attention
had become completely aroused and CAPT
talists began to invest in the enterprises.
In 1870 there were 10000 people within a
inc of seventy miles on the banks OF the
Vaal river. The South African diamond
fields are situated chiefly in the colony OF
West ~Griqualand, which vas proclaimed
British territory in 1871.

The Coolest Place on Earth.

Many feel in these ATTITUDES quite com.
Portable on reading OF the cold register ed at
W~erkhojansk, in Siberia. At the late meet
ing OF the st. Petersburg Academy Of
Science,, it was stated that the mean tenn.
p%erature OF Werkshoiansk, during January,
1885, was sixty-two degrees nine minutes.
Fahrenheit below zero and thelowest read
ing OF the thermometer was ninety degrees
four minutes below zero. This is the lowest
minimum temperature ever recorded on
the globe, under circumstances which make
the record entirely reliable, and is probably
lower han would ever be recorded at the
north pole itself. The Werkshojansk obser-
vations also show that the great cause of
refrigeration on the continents is not due
to the movement of polar air over them,
but to the radiation and loss OF heat by
the soil itself under an atmosphere of ex.
tremely low absolute humidity.

Care OF the Hands.

There are simple means by which the
hands may be kept in a presentable condi-
lion, as the use OF glycerine or honey after
washing them, and n little bran or oatmeal
to be used sometimes instead OF soap.
Wearing gloves when the work is rough or
dirty is quite admissible. Ladies who
have rough, coarse hands should rub them
with cream at night and may wear loose
gloves. Should the hands become hard
J and horny, treat them with pumistone and
! lemon. Lemon is always good for the
hands; it c~leanses them as well as soap
and makes them soft.
