be valuable relic Of prehistoric

The largest topaz ever brought
into the United States is now in
the possession Of James w. BeathJ
a well known lapidary. The gem
is eighty-two millimeters in diam
eter and weighs $500 carats. It
was found on The southeast coast
of New Zealand by a bushman
and sold to trader, who took it
10 India and sold it for largs
price to one of the native Indian
princes. During a famine it was
taken to the captain of German
merchant ship and exchanged for
corn and potatoes. The captain
on his return to the Fatherland
sold it to a lapidary, who cut it
in the style of a rose diam5nd
The work on It may be estimated
when it is understood that months
we're consumed IN the cutting and
polishing, and that it has 400
facets. 1t is hardly suitable for d
ring, but might, with a small lamp
behind It, be used as headlight.

FEWER STEAMERS.
But Two China Steamers VIII
Call Hereafter.

The following is taken from the
San Francisco Examiner Of a late
date:
For the last time for one year at
least the Pacific Mail steamer Peru,
that arrived here few days ago
from Yokohama and Hongkong via
Honolulu, made stop at the latter
port On the 9TH of this month. The
Peru has heretofore made stops at
Hawaii with considerable regular
ity, but is now booked for through
runs to and from the Orient until
June 16, 1894. The steamship Rio
de Janeiro makes her last stop at
Honolulu on an inbound trip on
the 18th of this month, and the
BeIgic's last call is booked for June
9th. Of the other vessels of the
company, the Gaelic will not touch
at Hawaii till the 18th of May,
1894, on an inbound trip, but the
steamers China and Oceanic will
call at the islands regularly going
and coming,
Some dissatisfaction has been
expressed by shippers at the pro-
posed decrease of service, but the
Mail company states that the de-
mands of the island trade, except
during the months of May, June,
July and August, do not justify
continuation of the service of three
or four steamers monthly.

MELANGE.

The reforms which are being
carried out by the department of
finance are well worthy of occasi-
onal notice. The last report sub
mitted by the minister of finance
contains several valuable sugges-
tons. One of these is that all
government realizations of what
ever nature should be turned with
out exception into the Hawaiian
treasury, so that all drafts for dis
bursements must pass through the
finance department. Minister
Damon explained the necessity to
a sound financial system for such
a course and insisted that ordinary
business methods demanded its
enforcement. At the same time,
he explained, he did not lay blame
on the present officials, who were
following the vicious financial
methods inherited from the mon
archy. Mr.. Damon began the re-
forms he is now carrying out when
he held office after the revolution
of 1887. Had he been allowed TO
finish the good work begun by car
rying ont the recommendations
made in his last report to the legis-
lature, before leaving office, the
necessities of the present period
would have been long since adj
iusted and the pressure Of hard
times greatly relieved if not
entirely avoided. It is re-
assuring to know that the
finances Of the country are at last
being reformed in earnest by men
in whom the public has confidence,
because their private financial
affairs have succeeded, and they
do not belong to the class Of
disreputable Hawaiian politicians
that has so long prevented the
establishment of good government
in Hawaii.

The action taken by the councils
at the last weekly meeting in re-
fusing to recognize July 31st as a
public holiday is to be commended.
The holiday business has been run
into the ground in these islands,
and if the government sees fit to
cut off a half-dozen more of the
useless and insignificant holidays,
which were made pretexts for clos
ing public business under the
monarchy, nobody viii object. 1t
is high time that the Hawaiian be-
came a provident government and
one of the first requisites of gov
ernmental success is to attend
to business. Of all the holidays
long kept up in Hawaii, restoration
day is about the last that would
bring any material benefit to the
islands, and those who still persist
in celebrating it will more than
likely do so on borrowed money,
as has been their custom.

One of the very funniest things
happening here for some time was
that alleged scoop by the evening
Fakir regarding the death of Presi-
dent Carnot of France. The
Fakir's scoops now foot up a grand
total of two. The first one had
some dishonorable connection with
a piece of manuscript stolen from
the American legation, about the
time ex-Minister Stevens left Ha-
waii, and the second and last an
nouncing the death of President
Carnot, was contradicted by the
mail which arrived last Saturday.
The witless evening Fakir should
have taken the hint when its more
reliable contemporaries refused to
publish the absurd and unsub-
stantiated rumor, which was afoat
on the streets two days before the
one hundred and fifty bona fide
subscribers of the leading royalist
journal read the astonishing scoop.

system of jail keeping INDUCED in
by Captain Trip at the reef The
demands for a change at the
prison have been undoubtedly
well founded, and it is some
what surprising that the govern
ment has not investigated
and acted on the matter ere
this. The bare list of escapes from
that institution since Captain
Trips incumbency is sufficient
evidence that something is radi-
cally wrong in the prison system,
if not in the men carrying it out.
1t is understood that the authori-
ties intend moving in the matter at
once. 1t will be none too soop, if
public sentiment is a safe guage.

Speaking OF scoops and fakirs
reminds one naturally of Papa
Nordhof7s denial of the true
reasons of his recall in a late
number of the New York Herald
Papa knew the thing was coming
before he left Honolulu, which was
the secret of his leaving the Ben
nett dispatch, with no bearing on
the case, to be published in the
evening Fakir,ia newspaper after
his own royalist heart. 1t is
strange the denial of the dispatches
giving the true inwardness of his
departure should be published ex-
clusively in the Herald and in no
other American journal. 1t is not
strange, however, that the most
the Herald asserts is that Secretary
Gresham is reported" to have
made the denial. The amused
smile Of the reader gives away to a
broad grin when the last paragraph
is reached and it is further re-
ported" exclusively to Papa Nord-
hof's paper, that Cleve-
land and Gresham had taken
the occasion to publicly COM
pliment the Herald on its Hawaii
an campaign! As soon as the up
roarous laughter ceases, we wish to
call the attention of the evening
Fakir to the fact that at present
there is no necessity for any ex-
planation-unless it wishes to
expatiate on the origin of that
Herald dispatch of July 18th, which
uses the names of Cleveland and
Gresham pretty much as the roy

A Lively Fake.

A lively sensation was caused on
July 18th by the publication of the
following dispatch from Port Towns
end: 1.-The man-of-war Mohican was
fired upon and disabled June 18th, in
Boring Sea, by the Hawaiian steamer
Alexandria, which sailed from San
Francisco last April. The Iohican
discovered the Alexandria in the act
of raiding the seal rookeries and tried
to intercept her, firing two shots
across her bows. The Alexandria
returned the cannon fire, striking the
Mohican amidships and disabling her
engines. The Mohican went to Una
laska for repairs, and the Alexandria
escaped"
The story is generally discredited,
though the bringer of the report is
apparently reliable man. The Alex
andria is fast steamer, and was for
merly under the Russian flag. She
fitted out under Captain Mclean for
just such work as she is now engaged
in.
