About when is the warm weather going to begin ? Luscious. Thoee Wailaku grapes, a box of which costs onlj 50 cts. at Friel & Bush's. Whaleboat Express. Last Wednesday forenoon at 11 o'clock, a whaleboat manned by natives arrived at Honolulu, having left Lahaina twenty four hours before. She was dispatched hither by Mr. James Campbell of that place, on private busi ness of his own. New Coasters Coming. We hear of three new schooners intended for the island coasting trade, that may shortly be expected here from the coast one now on the way to take the place of the un fortunate Iolani on the Maliko route, and two others now building. Capt. Hobron's Propeller. Tibbets & Sorenson have commenced getting out the timbers for the new inter-island steamer ordered by Capt. T. II. Hobron. She is to be of about 2G0 tons Hawaiian measure ment, and it is expected will be launched by the 1st of January next. A Stewardess. A w-.mt heretofore much felt by lady passengers on the steamer KUaue'a has been supplied on the new boat by the appointment of Mrs. Louisa Wood as stewardess. Mrs. W. (who is a half-caste) is intelligent, active and attentive, and her presence on ibe Likelike will conduce much to the comtort of lady passengers. Music this Afternoon. The Band will play ot Emma Square, commencing at 5 o'clock p. m. Following is the programme : March Silver Wedding Berger Overture Opera Poet and Peasant .Suppe Duet The Two Rose Ulrica Polka Mazurka In Silk and Satin..... Faust Fantasia Farewell to the Mountains ....Uasselman Selection Opera The Grand Duchess Offenbach Religious Services in a Circus Tent. There will be services held in Mr. Derby's Circus Tent on the Esplanade, on to-morrow (Sunday) even ing, beginning at half-past seven, to which the public generally are cordially invited. The exer eises will consist of singing, principally, inter spersed with short addresses. It is believed that many may be induced to attend services in such a place who would not care to enter a church. Answers to Questions. It is easy enough to ask questions there is an old proverb to that effect and we shall not waste our time hereafter in enlight ening the GaztlWt stolidity without an equivalent. For the present we may remark that the old saying, " Pvery tnb must stand upon its own bottom,' is not in the Old Testament, but is to be found in Ray's "Proverbs;" Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Pro gress and Macklin s " Man of the World," Act 1, scene 2. Again. Some time since we referred to the fact that notwithstanding the government prohibition, Cattle were running in the upper part of Nuuanu valley, and as a result of our reference, quite a herd was ooralled shortly thereafter. Now we are in formed that on Sunday last about a dozen beef cat tle and horses were seen grazing on the tabued ground. It is highly desirable that animals should be kept away from the upper part of the valley from whence comes the most of our water supply, in order that the ferns and shrubbery may have a fair chance to grow as of old, and prevent evapora tion. A Scjos o? Rqtaltt is America. The following, from a New York correspondent of a London paper, is curious, and will be read with interest ; "I do not think it is generally known that General Ord, who is commanding the United States troons on the Mexican frontier, and seems likely to celebrate the first year of the second century of the Union by adding a new state thereto, is a grandson of George IV. The General's father was the King's son by Mrs. Fitzherbert Her son was consigned to a tutor named Ord, who settled in the States, and gave his name to his pupil. When young Ord had reached man's estate he married a Virginian lady, and had by her two sons, whom he called Atlanticus and Pacificus. Pacificus is a judge in California; Atlanticus, having been educated at West Point, is now the general above mentioned. It would not surprise many persons ii this descendant ol an English king added to the Anglo-Saxon Republio the kingdom which the French Emperor wanted to convert into a Latin Empire, in order to counteract a Republic." The Likelike. Our new inter-island steamer left Honolulu on ber first trip to windward on Monday afternoon, for the circuit of Hawaii, taking a fair freight, and eighty-six cabin and about two hundred and fifty deck passengers. Among the former were Her Majesty Queen Kapiolani, Her Highness Ruth Eeelikolani, and their Excellencies J. M. Eapena and Jno. O. Pominis, An immense crowd of spectators gathered at the landing, and as the beautiful craft swung oil from the dock and commenced to move ahead, a royal salute was fired from Punchbowl in honor of the Queen. So large a number of passengers as were comfortably stowed on board the new boat last Monday could not poss ibly have been carried on the Kilauea. It is often both instructive and encouraging to look back upon the past, and see what progress has been made within a given period elapsed. Six and twenty years ago, the late G. M. Robertson reported upon the advantages of " running a good and sugicient steamer round the islands." The old Kilauta was not in existence until long after then. Now, just as a young bell throws an old maid into the shade, the beautiful Likelike has eclipsed her antiquated sister boat. There is one especial merit due to the old boat, which we trust ber successor will also con tinue to possess, that is cheapness in the rates of passage money. Under the head of By Authority it will be observed that the time for receiving ten ders for purchase of the Likelike has been extended to Thursday next, September 6th. New Teem. The fall term of Panahou College commences on Wednesday next, Sept. 5th. A Letter for W. H., " who advertised for em ployment in these columns two weeks since, has been received at this office. Wm. Nevins Akmstro.no, Esq., of New Yoik, but a keiki Hawaii, will lecture on Friday evening next, at the Lyceum, on " The Lessons of the Hour."- - We anticipate a pleasui able evening. British Consul General. By officiul announce ment in the Gazelle we learn that the Earl of Derby has authorized Theo. H. Davies, Esq., to act as Britibh Consul General during the absence of Major Wodehouse. " r Tuk New Maps of the Islands lately received and already noticed by otir cotemporary are indeed very fine; but how much more value would have attached to the uap, if in -the corners say, had been given a sketch ot the principal harbors of the group, or only Honolulu and Hilo, Fhowing the prominent headlands. &c. Hot Weather. The mercury has been up a moog the nineties, the past week. O ye fortunate dwellers among the sylvan shades on the moun tain slopes of Maui and Hawaii ! felicitate your selves on your happy condition unless you have some money to spend, in which case come to Hono lulu. . Wagon Stands The city needs a regulation, either by the Minister of the Interior or by the Privy Council, whereby wagons without a fare shall be appointed some particular locality to await customers, instead of as now obstructing the traffic of the streets by congregating on the most used thoroughfares. At the Circus this evening the performances will be interesting. Several pupils of Mr. Derby will give exhibitions in gymnastics. Besides au amateur young gentleman appears in au act as a wahine on horseback, and Mr. Luproil will per form some very difficult feats on - the Velocipede, Fill tho house ! Anglo-Hawaiian. The following is a verba tim copy of a note recently received by a medi cal man in this city: " Dear Sir Dr. Pleas lour Boy caintent me this Lediy for mey favor lours trulley sarwent - What was wanted was that the doctor should professionally attend the bearer (this Lediy) a na tive woman, at the charge of the writer of the note, Macadamizing. The process of fixing " King street with a pavement of conglomerate coral, sand, and earth, has been extended down Nuuanu street to Queen, and it is thought will result in good work, after a time. While the work is going on, however, it is not agreeable to the public. Our reporter over heard a couplo of pedestrians the other evening, while crossing a heap of unreduced coral lumps, conversing together in this wise : " Say, what in thunder kind of a road is this?" "Ob, this is macadamizing," was the reply. "Yes" was the somewhat profane response, " Mao-a-d d sight too much !" Fort Street School. In the Primary Depart ment of this school, yesterday, the Teacher, Mrs. Miriam Webster, held her first " monthly review," in the presence ol a number of lady and gentle men visitors. The result was highly satisfactory, as exhibiting a marked advancement of the children in their studies and also, what is of eminent promise for the future success of the school an evident rapport and good under standing between the teacher and pupils. We sincerely trust that Mrs. Webster's efforts to aroii3e a stronger interest in the schools for the young will meet with success there are momen tous interests concerned ! The Taxes. We referred some two weeks or more ago, to the fact that a committee of tax payers had employed counsel to contend in the courts against the principle of double taxation, which it was understood government intended to enforce according to instructions issued to assessors. On enquiry we cannot find that . any action has been or appears likely to be taken on the subject, notwithstanding the apparent preparations made, and it appears that the grand result will be that every tax payer will have to fight his own battle if there is to be any battle. The fact is that peo ple having complicated interests don't care to bring them into the public investigation of a court of justice. A Big Strike in Opium. Last Thursday Mr. Markham, the Custom House Guard, struck some what of a " bonanza " in opium. By the IT. N. Carleton, lately arrived frorn Cbfaa, some one hun dred and thirty chests of fine Oolong Tea were received to the "order of the Chinese doctor of the ship, and placed in the Custom House, in bond. Mr. Markham bad his suspicions aroused by no ticing that while a large portion 120 boxes of this tea were marked with a T and No. 1, under. thirty boxes were marked No. 1, with a j, under a very significant variation.. On examination these thirty boxes were found to contain each ten tins of opium, nicely disguised as 1 8). packages of fine Oolong tea. Thereupon the owner of the consignment his Chinese name is immaterial was arrested and placed in durance vile. His case will come up in the Police Court this morn ing. Three hundred tins of opium, disguised as tea ! We catch some, but how many escape T The Water Supply. The Superintendent gives notice in Wednesday's Gazette that the police bave been instructed to report all offenders "against the regulation fixing the hours for irrigation issued on the 21st August." And the native police have performed this duty in a manner peculiar to them selves. At all hours of the night and early morn. ing they have been prowling about private pre mises to the alarm and annoyance of families ; and in some instances running imminent risk of getting shot for what more natural than to suspect a fellow of burglary or theft whose form you indistinctly see at 1 o'clock in the morning as he gropes about a- mong your trees and plants. It was a blunder to send ignorant native policemen tn such detective kind of work. The late W. n. Jordan, foreign police, performed the same work some years ago properly and without giving offence. , . - . - : The September " number of onr Honolulu Monthly, appears this day, and contains another of those interesting letters from the pen of Mr. W. Damon, which render the advent of the friend each month so attractive and desirable. The youthful traveller has got over a good deal of ground since we last bad the pleasure of read ing his account of his European tour. From Ge neva, he passed on to Lausanne, Fribourg, Berne, Zurich, and Mannedorf, a village on the lake of which h gives a charming description.' Thence, he has proceeded to Basel and Strasbourg, where be has had a genial meeting with a young me dical gentleman, Hawaiian-born, son of Dr. Hille brand, whose name we bve recently had occa sion to recall with reference to our Madeira Islanders Immigration Scheme. The allnaion to the wonderful " cock " of Strasbourg cathedral awakened long-forgotten memories of a pleasant tour on the Rhine undertaken by the writer, in 1855, in company with his old friend, the RL lion.

B- M's Irish Privy Councillors, neidelberg, Worms and Mayence, have been successively visited by our youthful tourist, and the day's steaming accom plished down the Rhine from Mayence to Cologne, with glimpses en route of "castled crags "as Byron sang them overhanging the lordly Rhine, of Bishop Halto's Mouse-tower,' of the rock of the Syren Lorlel of the romantic sites of Bingen, Coblenta and Bonn, the" interesting ac count closing with the safe arrival of our youthful tourist at FJberfeld. A more extensive descrip tion of his journey from Strasbourg to Elberfeld is promised. Progress of Japan. The trade of Japan, at the close of 1875, is set forth in authoritative consular statistics. The total value of imports for that year amounted to S29,4C7,0C7. The total value of exports was S1S.0M.S90. The ntn ot $752,050 was paid for four merchant steamers. The great centres of the bulk of this trade, according to their relative i importance, were Kanagawa. Hiogo, Osaka, Na gasaki and Hakodate. Cotton and wollen manu factures, metals, arms, ammunition, and sundries constitute the priucipal imports. The principal articles of export are raw silk, silk-worms, eggs, tea, copper, tobacco, wax (vegetable) camphor, coal,-' dried fish, rice, and miscellaneous. The United States, England, and Germany represent respectively the highest tonnage of foreign ship ping employed in the trade. The value of Chinese sugar consumed in all Japan, in 1875, amonnted to $3,4S2,5SS. The German firms surpass both French and English in the sales of imported mousselines de laine. Coal is largely exported, principally from the TakasLiuia mine. Gold is found at Misobei and Segauo ; copper is worked at Kokufu, iron at Koncjune, and tin at Tani Yuma, about twelve miles from Kagoshima. Sul phur abounds in Jrvogashitna. Nakanosbima, and Takarajuna. Plumbago has been worked at Ka seda. Lead, saltpetre, alum, and lime are found in various localities. In the north of Nugata Ken, is an important oil bearing region. Tobac co grows well in Japan ; grapes also are plenti ful, principally in tho province of Nugata ; the cultivation of tea is on the increase. There are p iper-mills and glass factories in Japan. Import ed knitting machines manufacture drawers and cinglets, which compete with foreign articles. Cotton-bleaching is successful. Osaka silk hats and caps defy foreign compefitiou. A rice-mill is at work at Nugata, and weaving is carried ou at Nutsuke, Sanjo and Kameda. Dyeing is well done. Gun-powder is made for the army. Tot tery employs many hands. The mulberry-tree is extensively cultivated ; at Kagoxbirua there are two factories for the weaving of silk. A begin ning of railways bus been made in Japan, and they are very successful. The lines from Kobe to Osaka, ftotn Osaka to Ajekawa, and from Kana- gawa to Yedo, were in operation at the close of 1875, others are in progress of construction. A Woman Begs to be Hanged. A very singular case is reported in the Ameri can journals, with reference to imprisonment for life as a substitute for capital punishment, which bears out our previous remarks that capital pun ishment is regarded with less dread than life-long bondage by criminals. It appears that a Mrs. Sarah M. Victor of Ohio was some time back found guilty of murder and sentenced to be hanged This sentence was subsequently commuted to imprisonment for life by the Governor of that State. The woman found solitary confinement so terrible, coupled with the utter hopelessness of escape, that she preferred death, and actually petitioned, in January 1S7G, to bave her original sentence enforced, on the grounds that she had never consented to its commutation. After eighteen months, the Judge of the Ohio Court de cided that her pardon was illegal, and issued an order for her delivery to the proper authorities, for the purpose of having the original sentence of hanging, carried into effect. An appeal by third parties has been made to the Supreme Court of the United States against this sentence ; but the woman herself still persists in demanding to be hanged rather that to continue to live In hopeless Hfe-loBg bondage. This incident i a case la point which illustrates our argument that life-long bondage is a far more terrible punishment in the eyes of a criminal, than death by capital sentence. Physiologically, this may easily be explained ; all must die, according to the inevitable law of na ture ; consequently, to make up one's mind to die by hanging, is very much the same as to resign oneself to die on a bed of sickness. But, to live on without the hopes and pleasures and enjoy ments ot lite, day after day and year after year, is an unnatural state, which places' the case of the felon in terrible contrast with that of innocent human beings, who enjoy all the legitimate hap piness of life. Let any candid person ask him self or herself ; which would you prefer? a felon's doom of life-long bondage? or, death? We think that the majority of mortals would answer ; by all means, death before life bondage! The people of future times will take this view of the case of capital punishment, we believe. Communications. ILvnalei, August, 1877. Ma. Editor . Months are past and nothing has been done to our roads, not even a road supervisor has been appointed ; the few bridges which are put up, are made by private parties so as to keep up the communication. If His Excellency the Minister of the Interior, calls this fair, then we say it is queer. We think that this is the greatest injustice which ever can be done to a district . . We demand that His Excellency the Minister of the Interior appoint a new road supervisor in place of A. S. Wilcox, Esq-, who resigned about three months ago. If His Excellency is afraid that there is no competent person to fill this place, then we say, there are, aud we have sent a petition to the Interior Office asking for the appointment of one ; but we fear our petition has gone in the waste paper basket We are confident there are persons in the distriot who would make faithful servants to the Government, but whether they are of the class which their Excellencies may favor, we don't know. We want somebody, whoever it may be, that is com petent and ready to repair our roads j this Is all we care and ask for, but so long as we are treated in this way, we are not satisfied, and must try to get our rights by making our affairs public A Number or Tax Pater.. To the Editor of the Pad fie CommtrtUrf Jdvertuert Fib: Allow me space la your valuable columns to speak of a pleasant re-union thai occurred last evening at the residence of our worthy townsman, Capt. Oat, In honor of the birthday of his youngest son Freddie. The Influence of these little gath ering and eveniag parties upon our youog people cannot but be beneficial. They serve to rub off those trifling or awkward Incongruities of conduct or speech that are so annoying in gen eral society, not only to the actors themselves, hut to those ol their friends who may happen to be cognisant of tkem. At an early hour tbs company began to assembls. and In Its ranks might be seen some of the loveliest youog ladies to be found la oar city, and aaaong the young gentlemen, cumbers whose futare, I would fain believe, la fuil of the brightest pro mise. Joy sparkUd in every eye, and anticipated pleasure seemed to deepen the happy expression that beamed from every face.. - , . Tfc miMtc soon (track up, and the rash lor partners showed tho eagerness of tho young gentlemen tut the fan to begin. The ladtes reciprocated, to Judge by their readiness la re sponding, and the whirling and sassy cotillion and quadrille, and gidjy waits, testified to the seat with which all enjoyed the brightness of the passing hour. Of the ease and grace of the dancers it la needless to speak, for we all know the accomplishments of Honolulu ladies in tho Terpsichorean art, and to speak of th extreme excellence of on is simply to state what belongs to alL But la this connec tion I cannot refrain from mentioning one, and la doiDg so' 1 am sure I shall not awaken the slightest jealousy of WJ OA the part of any lady present. I allude to tho distinguished, grace and beauty of Mis Lillie William, whoso superior In these reipect It would be extremely difflcult, If not impossible to find, either her (where there are so many others worthy of 11)0 ub liaise) or ebevherf v This is Uoug language, I am aware, but none too strong for the occasion, or the young lady ol whom I speak. 1 only regret that some one with more fluent and ready pen than mine was not present, that her radiant beauty and charming grace might meet with a fitting description. Entrt N0Kr This to bo anderstood of the rest of tho ladies.) Of tho bountiful supper spread la the cool and comfortable dining-room, 1 will only say that it was duly appreciated by aa appetite that gave cost to the ample viands with which tho board was loaded, and that no greater compliment would be paid tho csiiisi than the wrecked apearanc which' th table soon presented. A few more dance, aod tho party brok up, wishing their amiable host and hostess tho worthy Captain and his ktdy a well as their promising son, many happy returns of tho oc faslon. Respectfully, . LEA HI. Hooaulo, ifMt20th,lSTT. Oar Public Schools. There is no movement in the interests of a people so important as that which carries on the work of education. By this proposition I do not Intend to obscure in the very least degree, the eternal concerns that are predicated upon religion ; but if we would promote the most complete develop, ment, even in the moral growth of men, we muit prepare them by healthful mental conditions. The bight at interests of any people are best secured through the universal education that is represent ed by the Publio Schools. And though, geograph ically speaking, the Hawaiian Kingdom is but a dot in the bulk of this great round world, it might prote itsfilf, Jlrough the educatipn. of .its people, an Archimedean lsies among the machinery, of human activity that operates from pole to pole, and girdles the earth from the rising to the setting sun. It is often said that people do not come here to make permanent homes for life, and hence the institutions of the country are of little importance to them. This is short-sightedness, for whatever advances a community, enhances the welfare of every resident therein. And then it Is selfishness to the extremest degree. Do these people who come here to spend a few years in the accumulation of wealth to be enjoyed ia other climes, imagine that their departure from our Islands will totally dis member the whole social, political or commercial fabric? Have they no with to leave for others who may desire to avail themselves of thoss same priv ileges, such conditions as will cause them to be remembered with pride and gratitude If future residents of this Island borne ? But tho future actual cUiiensuip of this King dom is, or ought to be largely represented in our Publio Schools. What is given there shoulJ be a matter cf earnest consideration. Popular education is demanded by our politioal eoonomy. The individuality of every citizen declares itself through his power to benefit or injure the whole community of which he forms a part. This power is directly proportioned to bis ability to control himself, acquired through the discipline and knowledge of that period of life which is usually spent in the school-room. The regard which every man entertains for the land of bis birth, or his adoption, demands that the people be educated. And here pre-eminently is this the case. So many elements of society are brought together that the nicest discrimination is necessary for the proper selection of what will best preserve us as a respected nation among the other nations of the earth. The love of mankind which Christianity develops in the heart asks for a general interest in our Publio Schools. If we would be saved from the depravity, the vice and wretchedness that charac terizes the sea-ports of the continental world, we must demand and procure the essentials for the highest moral and intellectual culture of the rising genera tion, and enforce our compulsory Sohool Law, till all are brought under the influence of tho same. There is no work to which genlai and expe rience can be more worthily consecrated, than that of bringing about a pure, wise and intelligent interest in our Publio Schools. Every iudividual here, whether statesman, merchant or artisan, whether he represents capital or labor, shoulJ feel that the Publio Schools are a mighty engine for pushing forward the work of progress whose foundations were so successfully laid a half a century ago. Our position in the Pacifio makes it important that our lights should always be trimmed and burning. We may seem small, but we can be Important, even to the nations whose shipping passes and repasses our beautiful Island world. It matters little with what eye we are scanned ; popular edu cation is demanded, whether we desire to stand forth as an example of a wisely self-governed people, whether this is to be merely a resort for health and pleasure, or whether it is to be Lalf-wsj stopping place for those whoso journey cf life is but one grand commercial speculation. The Publio Schools are the very Palladium of every and all our interests ; and as such must be guardod as the nation's most precious treasure. Miriam Webhteb. August 21, 1877. Ma. Editob : The arrival of ninety or more European immigrants by the barkentine Tl'm 11. Dlclz, from San Francisco, would seem to be a set tlement of our problem of a labor supply ; but when I read an advertisement which appeared in the California Democrat, published in the German language, I am led to believe that w are paying, or may yet pay, only too dearly for the solution of our vexed question. The publication reads as fol lows : " Wanted for Honolulu (S. I.) German or Scandinavian laborers. Passage money will bo ad vanced by the vessel which sails tils day. To sign contracts here is not required. Labor on Sugar plantations is paid with twelve dollars and board and lodging per month, and is easily to be found ; or those wishing to become settlers will be furnished with land, seed, and all the neocssaries cf life, to that they can cultivate sugar on their own account and risk. The government purchases the crop at the regular market price. The climate is every, where considered the finest and healthiest in the world. Clothing as well as all other goods are very cheap as they are duty free. For further informa tion call upon tbs German labor agents, Zechande Icar & Co., No COO Gay Street, op stain, appli cants are received on board the vessel without any payment whatever. The passage money ($20) is to be paid after it is first earned on the ialands. The applicants mutt furnish their pillows and blankets, and be on board this morning before bine o'clock with their luggage." A more outrageous tissue of lies could hardly have been woven together. I have always believed that any European who emigrates to these islands for the purpose of engaging as a laborer upon our sugar estates, under our present labor system, must, sooner or later, be sadly. disappointed) even If the representations made to him be honest. II is not difficult to see that the immigrants by the TT'm. II. D'uU must ! disappointed early In their experience on these islands; that disappointment will probably breed disaffection, and in turn, a long train cf evils, the effects of which recent tx periences in the United States plainly portray. J. O. C. Ma. Eiitob: The communication in Wedneii- day's G a xttle signed PLilo-Justlce," is anything but just, and misrepresents facts. The case of the white boy who stole a sloop boat, was simply thlst The wner cf the boat did not desire a heavy fa to be inflicted; the prosecution (Dcpoty Marshal) did not want one, because tbe result would be that gov ernment would be saddled with the support of a prisoner for a long period ; the accused was a green silly lad and belonged to a tbip In port to sail In about a week; under all tbe circumstances, and at the request, not cf influential friends, but of the parties most Interested, the Polios Magistrate Im posed the sufficient sentence of 8 days imprisonment and a fine of $5. , , Philo-Vesitas. Ma. Emtob: I bave always supposed that 21 guns constitute! a Royal salute. An I correct, and if so eaa you inform me why, on the embarcation of Her Majesty tbe Queen on Monday evening the salute consisted of only 19 guns ? Respectfully yours, Ikquibi. Oar correspondent is correct ia the supposition that 21 guns constitutes a Royal salute but, we are inclined to thick, made a mistake in counting only 19 last Monday. Each member of tbe Royal Family is by International nssge entitled to twenty one guns, and the saluts is always fired ' by either shore battery or by a saluting ship of a friendly nation, whenever the Royal standard li displayed; afloat.
