WhifeWashed Kauakas.

4 missionary stationed at one of
the South Sea islands determined to
give his residence q coat Of white
wash. To obtain this in the absence
Of lime, coral was reduced to powder
by burning. The natives watched the
process of burning with interest, be-
lieving that the coral was being
cooked for them TO eat. Next morn
ing they beheld the missionary's cot
tsge Glittering In the rising sun white
az snow. They danced, they sang.
they screamed with Joy. The whole
island was in confusion. Whitewash
became the rage. Happy was the
ooQuette who could enhance her
charms by dsub Of the white brush.
Contentious arose. One party urged
their superior rank; another obtained
possession OF the brush and valiantly
held it against ali corners; third
tried 10 upset the tub to obtain some
of the precious cosmetic. To quiet
the hubbub more whitewash was
made, and in q week not a hut, q
domestic utensil, war club, or q
garment but was as white as snow;
not an inhabitant but had his skin
painted with Rrotesque figures; not q
pig that was not whitened; and
mothers might be seen in every
direction cspering joyously and yell
ing with delight in the contempls-
ton of the superior beauty OF their
whitewashed babies. - 8. +. News

If receiving goods from five
different vessels at one time is
an indication of business we
are in the swim. Last week,
the Pfuger, the Isenberg, S. n.
Castle, Australia and Transit
brought Us goods from the
United States, England and
Europe that will enable US to
supply all demands for goods
in our various lines. We now
have the largest stock of black
annealed and galvanized wire
on the islands, which with the
materials for making a locked
wire fence will put the land
owner in a position to defy the
attacks of cattle. If a man
can have a stronger fence with
posts thirty or forty feet apart
than he has by putting them
at a distance of five or six feet,
it is better to use a locked
fence if for no other reason
than to save the expense of
posts. There are other econo-
mical points about it, which
we will explain on application.
In addition to our large
stock of wire, we have also
received a large invoice of the
finest grade of scissors we have
ever handled. They are from
the United States and are sup
erior to any made anywhere.
Pocket cutlery from England
leads the world. We have an
elegant assortment of WOsten-
holm's in pearl, ivory and
tortoise she'll handles, a few of
them very small in size suita-
BILE for ladies.
Our piano, hanging and
banquet lamps are the best
and latest conceits of the
largest factory in the United
States and the shades in COM
binations of silk and lace are
dreams of fairy land. We've
never had any handsomer ones
and that's saying a great deal.
We are the leaders in these
goods just as we are in fine
China and everything else.
We have also, just out from
England a lot of cocoa mats
of much better grade than the
last and not a penny higher
in price. Those with "Aloha"
worked in the fibre are in de-
mand. We have them in
various sizes.

THE EFFECT OF COLBURN'S
LETTER.

"The Hawaiian queen and her 10y
al subjects are accepting the situation
like Christians. Will they not receive
their lust reward?u This extraordi-
nary statement and still more extra
ordinary question comes from John +.
Colburn OF Honolulu. Mr.. Colburn
was q member of the cabinet which
went out Of business when the Pro-
visional government put an end to
the countless forms Of rascality that
had been planted and nourished under
the so-calied "royar supervision Of
the good-natured, but criminally-weak
Kalakaus and his less amiable, but
none the less vicious sister. 1t will
doubtless be most pleasing TO Minister
Blount to know that his course while
he was in Hawaii was perfectly In
accord with the royalistic idea, but he
will find 1t difficult to publicly assist
Mr.. Colburn IN his evident mission,
which seems to be the securing from
the United States of financial recon-
pense for q lost job. Mr.. Colburn tries
TO be deceitful, but Is delightfully."-
frank. He says In one breath that he
voices "the sentiments Of the Hawai-
Ian people and such foreigners as have
not allowed themselves to be narrow
minded by the object of immediate
personal gain" and at the next expir-
alton hopes and trusts and does "pray
that the president of the United States
of America and his chief advisers will
do what Is right, fair, just and equita-
BILE for US, considering that our queen
has been deprived Of her throne, loyal
subjects OF their queen and the coun-
try precipitated into the trouble and
debt through the connivance and as
sistance Of Americas representative
a nd nj ha
and guns of the good ship Boston"
He wants the situation as it was on
the 18th Of last January restored and
demands indemnity of this govern
ment. Mr.. Colburn must be much
more foolish specimen OF humanity
than can commonly secure admission
to Hawaiian cabinets, If he imagines
that the greatest Of republics will lift
q finger to replace rotten and comic
opera monarchy upon tinseled
throne. Neither the voicelessness of
a minister who found in silence local
reputation for wisdom nor the infiam-
matory and inaccurate statements OF
one who wrote too much can convince
off under the provisional, but honest
government that now controls the
islands, than 1t was when the opium
smugglers and lottery sharks-repre-
sented for the present by Mr.. Colburn
were acquiring vast wealth in de-
fiance of law without regard to one of
the least of those precepts upon which
true morality rests. If the Hawaiian
queen and her loyal subiects-loyal
only because of their self interest
had behaved like Christians for some
time prior to January last there would
have been no necessity for the as
sumption Of power by those who risk
ed their lives and their fortunes that
q decent government might be esta-
blished. If Mr.. Colburn lives until
the United States puts mahogany
tinted or any color of royalty on the
Hawaiian throne, or pensions those
who for malfeasance were properly
displaced he will break Methuselah's
record into Observation-Disclosures
Star.

A CHINESE SMUGGLER.
a Maunakea Street Chfnaman
Ties to Hide Opium I'm His
Trousers.

Low Chow, member of the
Chinese firm of Boo Yuen Lung g.
Co., was arrested yesterday, and
charged with having opium in pos
session. Four tins of the drug
were found hidden In the volumin-
GUS folds of Chow's trousers, and
he was a very weak Chinaman
when he was searched at the sta
ton.
Chow, with q brother Celestial,
was observed by Officer Stone to be
acting rather suspiciously on board
the Oceanic yesterday morning.
They were watched by Officer
Stone, who saw them buy eight
tins of opium, and 60 into one of
the petty officers rooms, presum-
ably to secrete the stuff. Chow
Immediately left the ship, and,
jumping into a hack, started to
drive up town. He was not quick
enough for Stone, however, for the
officer followed him into the carri-
age, and drove at once to the police
station. Chow made but little
"kick," but protested his inno-,
cence. When he was searched,
and the four tins found between
his legs, he wilted at once.
Stone, the arresting officer, then
started back to the wharf, to catch
the accomplice. He was a little
late, however, and although he
found his man, he had had plenty
of time to secrete the opium. He
accompanied the officer to the sta
ton, and went on Chow's bonds.
Chow will appear in the district
court today, to answer to the
charge.

Speaking of the Bulletin reminds
Us of its anger at the overthrow Of
of its sympathy dodge" by this
paper. The Bulletin at once
threatens that it has a "per-
sonal rod'' in pickle for the
editor of this paper. Well now,
really, this is fine; this is glori-
ous-but to the public it may per
chance SAVIOR of dropping from
argument into personalities. How
ever, we will stand the "rod" in pic
kle, and hope the Bulletin editor has
the courage of his convictions and
will take it out Of pickle. A coward,
however, generally hides behind q
threat, and is therefore harmless.
The ADVERTISER makes 1t rule
not to indulge in personalities, ex-
cept when forced to do so by the
impoliteness of contemporaries, and
in this case, therefore, We are under
the necessity of apologising 10 the
public.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

AS already stated the pumping
plant at the Makiki reservoir is now
in working order and the pumps
are throwing into the mains Of the
Honolulu water system some mil
lion and half gallons daily, with
out running at their full capacity.
The water is lifted one hundred
and fifty feet to the reservoir. Ono
of the good effects of this govern
ment work is that the surplus
water is flowing into the Nuuanu TO
servoir which is some fifty feet lower
than the one at Makiki. The Bone
fits derived from the new work are
being felt and appreciated through
out the city. The present improve
ment shows how much can be &C.
complished with the expenditure
of small amount of public money,
when political jobbery and favorit-
ism are withdrawn from the con-
duction of public bureaus.
