Miss Prescott,s Entertainment.

A good audience greeted Miss Pres
colts musical and literary entertain
ment at the Y. NJ. c. A. hall Thursday
evening. The opening piece was piano
solo by Miss Dowsett which was played
in an effective manner. The next num-
Der was reading by Miss Prescott, emit
tied "The One Horse Chaise," in which
the lady exhibited highly cultivated elo-
cutionary powers. Then followed song,
Close to the Threshold" with violin
obligato, by Miss Mist and Prof. Yarnd-
lev. Miss Mist possesses a rich soprano
voice, and her singing was highly ad-
mired. This was followed by duet,
"Telling Secrets" by Misses Dowsett
and Barnard, which was the gem OF the
evening. The young ladies sang in g
somewhat comic way which captiyated
the whole audience. The applause,
as they left the platform, was uproarious
and hearty, but they modestly refused
to respond to the encore. Prof.
Yarndley next played violin solo,
"Legende," which the gentleman
played in a truly Remenyi style.
Part second commenced with I1a-
waiian melody, "Malanai auu ka Ma
kani," sung by the Misses Namakaeha
and Palama and Mrs. Keohokalole, aud
the young ladies sang with so much
feeling and SO pathetically that they were
encored, to which they responded with
another sweet Hawaiian melody, "Pili
Aoao," which they rendered with per-
feet ease and grace. Miss Prescott read
an extract from Shakespeare's "Mer-
chant of Venice" Miss Dowsett and
Mr.. Yarndlev next rendered 'Serenade. :"
Rev. H. H. Gowen recited king Rob
ert'' in q truly declamatory style,
mingled at times with pathos, which
was immensely appreciated. Next fol-
lowed trio by the Misses Won Holt,
Dowsett and Barnard, Evening" The
evenings entertainment concluded with
a reading by Miss Prescott.

On the 18th Of August the Honolulu
Arion Tor German LidertaefeD will give
their first annual picnic, concert and
ball, at the Park Beach Hotel, Waikiki.
Notwithstanding few drawbacks, such
as members leaving the country, and
others OF the same nationality holding
aloof, the Society thrives and is to be
congratulated on the approaching ami
yersarv of its birth. This is an institu-
ton for the advantage and pleasure OF
all who ioin it, as well as calculated to
be a source of enjoyment to the COM
munity, for one OF the purposes OF the
Arion is to give concerts in the public
squares.
At2 o'clock on the afternoon Of Aug
ust 10Th the picnic will begin, followed
at about 5 O'Clock with the concert and
winding up with ball Buses have
been engaged to carry the guests out to
the grounds and back at 25 cents each
way, and Mr.. Arnold will provide lunch
for all at so cents each. The Society
provides for everything else. There
will be races and other such sports dur
ing the picnic time, and the billiard and
pool-room and the bowling alley WI be
open to the guests. The committee OF
arrangements is composed, of Messrs. j
Hubash, E. Walters, ]. Bertram and Il.

This celebration is not desired to be
confined tc Germans, but all respect

Pay of Postmasters.

Mr.. EDITOR: see by recent issue OF
your paper that there has been an addi-
tional $1,000 appropriated for Post
masters, making $4,000 for the current
biennial period; also $4,000 for clerks
in General Postoffice this latter does not
include the P. NJ. General ard Deputy
P. NJ. GAneraL. On first reading these
two items they appear out OF proportion !;
SIG, 900 for some eight or ten clerks and
$40, 900 for SO Postmasters. On due re-
Fiction find the former sum is not any
too much for the clerks in the General
Postofice, but the 500, 900 emphatically
pronounce as altogether inadequate to
the amount of labor required (leavlng
brains out aItogether). Ten thousand
dollars per annum equally divided
among tifty-three PostmasLers (Which
is the amount given in the T.
NJ. q. report) would be $188 81 per
annum, or $17 80 per month, for each
man-$2 SO more than is given the last
importation OF Japs, which believe is
the cheapest labor in the country. Con-
S quently country Postnasters rate sec
ond to Japs, and long way inferior to
Hamakua police or mule drivers. But
event is is not tie pay OF Postmasters.
Money order and banking business
offices are paid $40 per month and minor
offices IS, and have the privilege OF sup
plving all necessaries for their respective
offices, such as wrapping paper, twine,
stationery, etc., out OF their salary, and,
moreover, the man must be capable,
honest and obliging-always on hand
seven days OF the week (as Sunday is
the only day Japs and Portuguese have
for mailing and registering letters, get
ting money orders, etc.l-in fact, he
must be instant in season and out OF
season, and all for the munifcent sum
OF $40 per month. We would strongly
recommend the Finance Committee to
reconsider the Appropriation bill and
allow the Postmaster General a few
thousands more, so that he may be en-
abled to make glad the hearts OF his
many faithful and tried servants (even
at the expense OF the Law Library.
Nothing will give our worthy Chief, for
whom we have the highest respect, more
pleasure.

The Late Col. Forbes.

The Florida Times Union contains a
eulogistic obituary notice of Col. w. T..
Forbes, brother of Rev. A. O. Forbes of
this city and who was born in these
Islands, March s, 1885, dying June 18th
last at Jacksonville. Florida. Colonel
Forbes was Secretary of the recent
Florida sub-Tropical Exposition. He
had creditable war record, having been
rapidly promoted, from a first lieuten-
ancy in the New York Volunteers, till
assigned to the staff as Assistant Adju-
tant- General of General Gerry's Division.
He served under all the great Generals,
participating finally in Sherman's cam
paign that closed the war Col. Forbes
was successfully and with much success
engaged in various lines of business, and
the sketch referred to thus C includes /:
" Col. Forbes was very intelligent
man, a great reader, and conversant
with ancient and modern works. He
was possessed of unusu Il executive abil-
ity, was fluent and interesting talker,
a great believer in the future Of Florida,
and prominently identified with all mat
tiers and organizations tending to the
developing of the State"

Sew model for Marine Prop ellers.

A new marine propeller was subjected
to a trial last June at the Battery Swim
ming Baths, New York. 1t consists OF
two paddle wheels placed nearly amid
ships in the bottom of Il vessel, one on
either side OF the keel. The motive
power is supplied by two per
pendicular engines which can be
disconnected, so that by turning
one paddle ahead and the other
astern, the vessel will turn in her own
length. The advantages claimed for
this invention are that the wheels are
never out OF the water, the machinery
occupies less space and is lighter than
ordinary marine engines, thus giving
greater space for freight, dispensing with
heavy shafts and thereby avoiding
heated journals. The machinery is
better protected, and its adaptability is
greater to shallow water. 1t is also
claimed that greater speed can be at
tanned by this system than by the pres
ent screw propeller

Total Eclipse of the Moon.

The total eclipse of the moon an
nounced in the Hawaiian Almanac and
Annual was sharp on time Sunday even
ing. As the moon entered the shadow
more than an hour before sunset, the
full eclipse was on just when the night
had become dark enough to make it
effective Judging by the talk over the
telephone, most of the communities
well as the newspapers-were caught
mapping by the phenomenon, many en-
curing as to the strange appearance OF
her lunar majesty. A gentleman view
ing it through telescope declared to our
reporter that it was the finest eclipse he
had seen for ten years. The shadow was
SO deep that an almost invisible passing
cloud once suficed to put the moon
totally out of sight. There was only
three minutes difference between the
time of middle of the eclipse and that OF
full moon-the former being at 7:13 3
and the latter at 1876 As the earth's
shadow gradually passed off, the cres-
cent on the southeast edge was daz-
zlingly brilliant The electric light was
turned on when the eclipse was at the
height, but shut off again before the
moon came out, and during this time the
darkness was quite profound.

Issuance of Paper Money.

Mr.. EDITOR III person was thor
oughly Indifferent to the matter OF re-
strictihg the issuance OF certificates OF
deposits by business or banking houses,
heretofore, he must rouse himself when
he sees the defenders of the certificates
writing as follows: owe have suS-
picion that the real intent of the bill,
the introducer, and the committee is
aimed at the banking house of Spreckels
& Co.. and the intent is to stop the cir
culation of that firms bank notes"
Let me thank the writer for the words
"bank notes." These words signify the
very pith and marrow OF the whole mat
ter. 1t is an honest admission that we
have bank note circulation without the
protection OF a Banking Act.
The writer for the Bulletin, for reasons
best known to himself, has been pleased
to give his criticism a personal CON-
plexion, whereas it is a matter of public
concern, as wide in its range as is the
circulation OF money.
1t is to be hoped that the Legislative
Assembly will adopt the report OF its
Finance Committee. Applause for such
action is bound to follow sooner or later.

nefense of AM Assessor.

Mr.. EDITOR In last Tuesdays Ga
zette letter appears, vilifying the
newly-appointed tax assessor of the Ha-
makua District, and setting forth that
the Hamakua people in general were
opposed to his appointment. Such is not
the case.
Mr.. Kaaekuaiwi is very worthy
man, and has served the Government
on previous occasions. He will be as
sisted by Mr.. Chas. Williams, who is an
exceptionally intelligent man, and one
who speaks both native and English
fuently.
Had your "many subscribers" been
oppressed with feelings of disgust" or
had the taxpayers burned to Gre
sent the indignIty "-as Reform" puts
it-there would doubtless have been
some objections raised to the appoint
ment at meeting OF plantation owners
and managers recently held at Honokaa.
But, as the subject was not referred to,
it may be assumed that the really re-
spectacle men, who pay the bulk OF the
taxes, are as yet g in no ways desperit"
and that 4" Kinney is safe"

The Organ Recital.

A fair-sized audience attended the
Kaumakapili organ recital Saturday
night. The singing of Misses Won Holt,
Mist, Dowsett and Barnard, and the
native choir of the church, was, it is

Mr.. Nets performed mastery on the
piano, DR.. Day and Prof. Yarndley on
the violin, Messrs Wray Taylor and

Mr.. Taylor also on the violoncello.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

Study the past if you would divine the
future.
knowledge of our duties is the most
useful part of philosophy.
No sinners are so intolerant as those
who have just turned saints.
To be vain of ones rank or place is to
disclose that one is below it.
Act upon your impulses, but pray that
they may be directed by God.
What we hope ever to do with ease,
we may learn first to do with diligence.
Purposes, like eggs, unless they be
Matched into action, will run into rot
tenness.
We condemn generally the passions
of others by other passions either like
or unlike.
People seldom improve when they
have no other model than themselves to
copy after.
The true way to render ourselves hap
py is to love our duty and find in it our
pleasure.
Man without patience is like a lamp
without oil, and pride in a rage is bad
counsellor.
He that walketh uprightly walketh
surely; but he that perverteth his ways
shall be known.
There are times when it would seem
as if God fished with line and the
Devil with net.
If anger is not restrained, it is fre-
quently more hurtful to us than the in
jury that provokes it.
Honest and courageous people have
very little to say about either their cour-
age or their honesty.
Let men laugh when you sacrifice de-
sire to duty, if they will. You have time
and eternity to rejoice in.
Nothing is so contemplate as that af-
fectation of wisdom, which some display
by universal incredulity.
