Rivers Going West.
New OrleanS IiraNnnn

1t appears that the YES teru and south
western bank OF the Rio Granke is the one
which sufTers most rom the abrasion of
the current. Why does the river shog
this tendency 10 work TO the westward!
Somethng like this anpea~s in the ca e
OF The NJ ssissipui. Fo. me-ly tho river
had ts prime pal deoouchment in.ot
sea through sne Bayou Manchac au' ta
lakes. In the cou.se OF time that route
was abandoned co- the one now known a1
the main river, which is very considercsly
10 the westward OF the old outlet. In t.e
meantime the river has shown dispos'-
tion to transfer its channel still fl.t
TO the westward through the Atchafalay :.
Can 1t oe made 20 appear from these
facts that there is Il tendency in great
rivers fiowlng in general direc ions along
me-idians of the earth's longitude to
serve tn swerve to the westward: Can il
be held that because of the rotation of
the earth on its axis to the eastward tho
weight Of the water in such a Longitudinal
rivers is thrown by the centrifugal force
against the western banks SO rs to atrade
them with increased energy aud effect?

Second reading of bill to allow
peremptory challenge of jurors.
This bill was introduced by the Ju-
dietary Committee to take the place
of bill on the same subject intro
duced by the Attorney-General.
The bill was read by its title,
Minister Ashford moved that his
bill he considered section by section.
Rep. c. Brown moved that bill
No. 81 be indefinitely postponed.
He said it was the unanimous opin-
ion of the committee that the bill
offered by them as a substitute was
better in every way. If the bill in
troduced by the Attorney-General
should pass, it would lead to as
much confusion and trouble as eX-
ist now in the United States, where
it often takes a or days to empanel
q jury. 1t may be profitable to the
attorney to have such delay, but
not TO the client.
The Attorney-General stated his
reasons for moving the consideration
of his bill. lie said, after eliminat-
ing the causes for which jury may
be challenged, the two bills are
practically the same. In one Sec
ton of his bill, the defendants in
trial for capital offense, where
the punishment is imprisonment for
life, have chance to peremp-
torily challenge u jurors and the
Government can only challenge 6.
If the new law passes, but jurors
can be peremptorily challenged, by
either side.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs
gave notice that the King had sign
ed the following bills:-
An Act TO establish o Parcel
Post;
An Act to amend section $50
Civil Code, relative to security fol
costs;
An Act to amend section % chap.
ter % of the laws of 1876 relating
to stamp duties;
An Act to regulate the time with.

The Directories.

A S some misunderstanding seems to
IA exist in regard TO the right of
priority in the Directory canvass, we
would respectfully state that, so far as
the promoters of the Honolulu Business
Directory are concerned, their plans
were arranged previous to the arrival of
Mr.. Lane on the Islands; but his arrival
hastened the canvass for advertisements
for very obvious reasons. We cannot
see that the two ventures will otherwise
conflict, because our Directory will be
confined to Honolulu and vicinity for
the first issue; while the other one will
cover all the Islands, and necessarily
include Honolulu as only a portion of
the work. The Honolulu Business
Directory will circulate chiefly in this
city and on the Islands The larger and
more expensive work will have lis chief
circulation on the Pacific Coast of North
America. j, Il. BROWN & co,

a Quarantine Affair.

A little after six on Friday evening,
a telephone message TO the GAZETTE
Office intimated that a reporter was
wanted at the premises of II. Davis,
New York Bazaar, Nuuanu street.
The call was duly attended to. Arriv-
ing at the place, the reporter was in
formed that the proprietor, Mr.. NJ
Davis, and q Mr.. ManitOn were being
removed, against their viii, to the
quarantine station or "pest-house as it
was described. In the yard at the
rear of the house, the reporter found
Capt. Reynolds, the officer of the Board
in charge Of the quarantine station,
Officer VIM. Tell, another policemen
and the two gentlemen above named
on the stairway connecting with the
rooms in the upper fiat. Between the
Board of Health officer and the gentle
men a warm debate was in progress
on an alleged charge of breaking quar-
antine and about the probability of
there being but poor accommodations
at the quarantine station.
The facts, pure and simple, are that
Mr. Davis and Mr.. Maniton were
among the passengers by the Austria
liza, and quarantine was assigned them
in the fiat over the New York Ba-
zaarn store, but, upon charge Of
breaking quarantine, they were or
dered to the quarantine station. The
charge was strenuously denied by the
two quarantined gentlemen as well as
by the members OF Mr.. Davis family,
who regarded the removal to the pest
house." so named, as d serious wrong.
Complaint of the proceedings was
made to the United States Minister,
Mr.. Davis being a {. S. citizen.

Hawaiian Schemes in London

Advices from London received by
Mr.. B. f. Dillingham; are of an en-
couraging nature regarding the several
large Hawaiian schemes of late sub
United to the English public. a letter
of the It'll January speaks OF a very
unfavorable impression created by the
news Of the brig Consuelo hence. The
papers made much of it, and the feel
ing was that the Hawaiian Govern
ment's tenure was even more unstable
than it was at the revolution Later
reports from the Islands had been Of
reassuring effect, but still the damage
done was not all neutralized. How
ever, letter dated the 18th reported a
decidedly improved feeling with re-
spect to Hawaiian Institutions. Pros
poets were good for the Oahu coloniza-
ton scheme being taken up whenever
confidence was well restored. Other
Hawaiian enterprises especially the
Wilder railroad projeet-were referred
to most hopefully. Indications were
indeed bright enough to warrant the
expectation OF accounts by next mail
of something substantial having been
done towards securing money for the
development Of Hawaii.
