It is one of the outskirts of Chinatown, and upon the outskirts of everything Califomian the llclrrcw juukshnp thrives. One passes from paganism through Judaism to unadul terated Catholicism in the space of a single block. On Ilroadw-.iy, between Dupont and Kearney streets, stands the City Prison, where so many who hate deserved lianemu Imc escaped tlic noose; near Dupont street is all that is left of the once famous I cliama I louse, cele brated by John Phccniv, "Smubob, the lamented Derby; a cut of the building, as it was originally, enriches the pages of the "Annals of San I'ran cisco"; all that remains, is the corner portion, and this, having been dragged from its former site in what was once the center of the city, is now deposited under a cliff of Telegraph Hill, and is known as the Rock House. A stone loosened in the block above it. might easily crush through its roof, and, in deed; the wonder is that the old shell has not burst apart with the weight of tradition that rests upon it. There arc old wooden tenements in the Spanish quarters with long, narrow balconies, and multitudes of small win dows : there are queer chambers jum bled together iion the flat roofs of imiKimgs or suits upon wic suit in uic angular shoulders of the bill that over shadows the Spanish quarters; there are wmc shops below the basement, out of which ooes a rank odor of wine, as from a wine-press newly trodden ; there is a superabundance of fiery pepper pods, great ropes of them swinging IIUII'IU III hill. 3WII3lll.il. ... tllt. liui'ivia doorways; there are narrow alleys, dark passages and slimy ones, some of them where the paupers congregate; there arc withered old hags sitting on dingy stairways toasting their lean fingers over pots of smouldering coals, and wither ing young ones with the paint an inch deep upon their faces as they sit in the open windows and stare sharply at the passers-by ; there are indolent youths lounging at the corners rolling cigarettes the whole afternoon, and at night they drink and dance in the dance cellars close at hand, and sometimes ply the stiletto with fatal effect : there is much gossip on the street, and most of the pretty gossips arc coquettish!)' attired in short skirts with n deep flounce at the hem, while over their heads, con cealinu half the face, they wear silk shawls richly embroidered in colors and with fringes half-a-yard long ; there are exquisite brown babies with enormous eyes as black as sloes and almond shaped, the lashes shading them like a twilight ; and there are smells, very wonderful smells, in that Spanish quarter of San Francisco ! It is there that some of the old cus toms arc still observed in a small compass bounded by Pacific, Green, Kearney and Stockton streets, where penny trumpets arc tooted or, rather are shaken noiscly on the feast of the Epiphany when the magi discovered the holy child in the manger ; and at I.astcr, eggshells loaded with flour arc showered upon the frequenter of the quarter; and carnival, cscciaiiy tne latter days of it, are riotous; but Lent is dull enough with its women in mourning and its men stricken with remorse against the approaching as tion week. Three of us wandered through the Spanish tUancr one day, feeling like strangers in a strange land ; only to read the mines of the shopkeepers was like running the eye down a page of an opera libretto ; it seemed to us that the whole street might easily be set to music and without hcring the direc tory for the sake of rhythm or euphony. We were stared at, for we tetraycd an uncommon interest in everything, but we were treated with politeness or reserve, and when at last wc came to the coffee house of San Juan Capis trano de Luna and were welcomed by the little swarthy man with the, twinkling eyes and the soil low voice, who bore that majestic name, we seated ourselves at one of his diminu tive tables in his diminutive eating room, which was in the rear of one of the smallest shops in the world - we were at once quite happy, for he ordered our dinner through a hole lush up in the wall through which we saw that the kitchen was on the grade above us, and the cook seemed to te floating about in mid air beyond the wing It was n red hot dinner of beans and 'fifi and n thin sour wine, nil en eri in strange dlshc richly fashioned out of Mexican (.lay and imported from .Mnfitmii ; anil nil the winie mere wa 11 youth burring in the liltlrshop .it the Profrooion-tl (Harbo.

KaMaaina. Honolulu, May -9, 18K4. limine lltrttlrit An honorable rivalry in business is to So nk.nu.u. be commended, but dishonorable methods to secure patronage should merit prompt rebuke. It is natural that compi'tiiion should exist, but it does nut follow that it should be of a base character, To sell certain articles below cost to bait the public, and then place extra values on othermcrchaudisc to make up the difference, is an unfair method which ought not he established. It is a species of deception, mean in and disreputable in practice. ic mock-auction plan, and is akin to the sawdust .swindle It holds out to the unwary the promise of great bargains, which is not fulfilled if their purchases extend beyond the few articles .sold under value as an advertis ing dodge. If consumers would exercise a little common sense they would know that a merchant cannot thrive who professes to sell bis wares below their cost. If this is bis rule of business, it lasts but a brief period; a crpsh follows, and honest creditors arc swindled out of their money. It is a well-established fact that the merchant who makes a fair profit on every article he places on sale can afford to sell his goods cheaper than the one who offers a portion of his goods below cost and then puts an additional profit on the remainder. Selling articles at ten tier cent, below their value, and, to equalize profit, placing thirty per cent, extra on others, is a species of business rivalry that is injurious to regular trade in any com munity. It is a merchant's duty to realize a reasonable advance on every article he sells, as it is only in this way that he can expect to succeed and pay bis obligations. This, of course docs not apply to styles that arc out of sea son, or to stock on hand that may be more or less unsalable, the distribution of which can only be made to pay through small concessions from the regular prices. The rivalry in the retail trade is more active than in the wholesale, and the practice of selling below cost is, there fore, more general. There is less ex cuse also for this course to be pursued among jobbers, as they arc generally men trained to business, having long experience in mercantile affairs, and are not ignorant of the sound methods of dealing. An open, fair competition is always healthy, as it is certain to break up monopolies, and has the futhcr effect of placing a reasonable and proper value on commodities. An honest, legitimate management of busi ness is the only sure way to permanent success, and money earned through straightforward methods generally stays with its possessors. U. .9.

Mnrtlnelt, Tlir Snvrntor, The Scotcli youngster who made himself a wooden hat by gearing his turning lathe to an eccentric motion, is known to most people by a simile anec dote, telling how that piece of inge nuity almost accidentally brought him into notice and lucrative employment Few who enjoy the warmth of the steam pities and radiators in their houses, and the light of the gas lamps in our city streets, or admire the magical working of the pcmimatic cash tubes in the large city stores, Know mat the original in ventor or these three wonderful con venience of civilization was William Murdoch, the boy who made (he wqpden hat. Murdoch was an inventive fellow from an early age, resembling our own Thomas Kdison in the fertility and ac tivity of his genius. I lis experiments in chemistry were performed after working hours, and being driven with orders and almost constantly on duty as a machinist, he was a middlv-aued nun before his ex animation of different fuel vapors led him to the discovery of the excellent burning properties of coal ga. He kept on distilling and combining until he had proved his discovery; then he described it in a paper to the Royal Society, and received the large Rumford gold medal. That was all he got for his invention, for he never ptentcd it. Had he done so he ipight have been immediately rich for though the common oeojlc rt'uni out against the danger of fircpijies, and members of Parliament scouted the idea of a light without a wick, and Sir Walter Scott had his joke at "illuminatinc London with smoke," and even Sir Humphrey Davy ridieukd the new discovery as imposVible, he lived to see gas used everywhere, in streets, shops, factories, and private dwellings. An anecdote in connection with this invention, showinit how ready in exie- dicnts Murdoch. was. While in Manches- ler engaged in puttingupasteamenginc, he ras invited, with Willatn Fairtuirn to, J'mc at Mcdlock Hank, then at some distance from the lighted tart of the (own. It was a dark winter night, and how to reach (he house over (he bad roads was a puzzle to bis companion; but Murdoch went, and after a little delay got a bladder filled with gas, and placing it under his arm like a bag-pipe, discharged through (he steam of an old tobacco pipe a (rcam of im, which enabled them to walk to their datamation O M.
