be seen that after August LIST, the new
interisland postage law win 60 into
force. Two.eent stamps have been is

office. Our opinion of the new law has
before been expressed. We believe IL

interests Of the government, or rather of
the native people, for all official cor
pass free. However, now that the law
is enacted. let it have n fair trial;
il il be beneficial, even equivocally so,

correspondence, let II be repealed or
modified.
Prices Current.
Trade of every description has been
depressed during the week. An auction
sale occurred yesterday, at which some
desirable goods were sold, but prices
were generally low We make a few
quotations.; 600 gallons linseed oil, 81
to 81 .03; 1440 lbs. lard, Use. to 19c.; 13
cases loaf sugar. 11he to IL 2-3c.; half
bills. brown sugar, &c. to 7hc.; bbls.
rice, sac. to 5Mc. per h.; 9 cases
brandy peaches, $5,12 to 5000.
Mosquitoes.
A correspondent, newly arrived upon
our shores, wishes to know what mos.
quitoes live upon here when they don Y
find strangers. We can only recommend
patience until he has arrived at the
dignity of an old resident, and then he
will know, to his cost. that they like
tried friends best for regular diet.
Unadultered Hypocrisy.
Whatever tends to good, to
bride evil passions, to support
the wavering and confirm the
upright win ever find sympathy
and spokesman in us.
The above is from the last "Poly-
nesian," where it appears in connection
with the temperance movement of the
"Dashaways Now everybody knows
that this same government journal has
always and invariably sought to cast
ridicule on every effort having for its
object the freedom of man from the en-
slavement of rum, and odium on every
body who dares to speak ON the sub
iect. Bearing these facts in mind, il the
above quotation does not smack of 90
per cent. of hypocrisy, then we have
yet TO learn what does
Cheap Horsehesh.
A few days ago there was sale of
horses at HalemanO or thereabouts.
Thirty.six animals in all were knocked
down for the aggregate price of $72,
or SO each. 4 mare with her two
darlings went for twenty-five cents.
Not Much Better Now.
1t is singular how ignorant some per
sons are, who have opportunities to gain
correct information, and who are ex-
pected TO know at least as much as is
contained in elementary school books.
A late number of the New York Herald,
in commenting upon the religious re.
vival in that city, in connection with
the anniversaries of religious societies,
took occasion to say that notwithstand-
| ing all the efforts made to civilize the
people of the Sandwich Islands, they
were more demOralized now than when
in state of eannibalism. The ignor-
ance of the editor of the Herald is about
on par with that of London city
journal which two or three years ago
gave the particulars of an incident,
said by it to have occurred in the city
of Massachusetts, in the State of Long
Island
The schooner Kamoi groubht in on
Monday, from Kahului, the first cargo
of this years crop of wheat, amounting
TO about 1000 bushels. 1t is calculated
that $4,000 bushels will be harvested
this year in East Maui. The price being
paid this season is one dollar per bushel.
A sale of real estate, sold by order of
the Minister of the Interior, took place
last week. The lands were located in
| Nuuanu apd Pauoa valleys and the
prices received show Honolulu real
estate to be valuable. The pasture lands
averaged $24.371s per acre, FALKLAND
(mountain side) $1.90 per acre and taro
land 500 per acre.
The clipper ship Phantom, 122 days
| from Boston, arrived yesterday. Her
cargo comprises 500 tons ice and the
balance assorted merchandise. Captain
Peterson informs us that the ice has not
appeared to melt on the passage till
reaching the equator some fourteen days
ago, since which they have had to pump
freely.
A schooner passed the port yesterday
without touching, supposed to be from
San Francisco, as she came along with
the ship Phantom from beyond Maui.
She is probably bound to Koloa for po'
tatOes.
