In some parti of Honolulu, if fire should gat good bold of any building of considerable ize, do bumaa effort could prevent its spreading far and wide. Tbe majority of the wooden buildings in tbat part of tbe city which is occupied by shopkeepers are but so much tinder. A fire that once attaiced any bead- way would pass from one to another with great rapidity, and its course would only be staid by tbe prompt pulling down of buildings ahead of its course. It is to be boped tbat socu a disaster may never befall us, but tbe fact remains, and is made plain to us by tbe experience of a hundred other towns, tbat we may be awoke any nigbt by tbe alarm of fire to witness just such a spectacle. Pre vention being " better than cure," it is well tbat every precaution should be taken to prevent fires from happening, and to check them at tbe very out set of their career when tbey do happen. Tbe law though lamentably defective in many directions. contains a number of useful provisions which have not hitherto been strictly carried out by our citizens. or enforced by tbe authorities. By tbe recent appoint ment of Fire Marshal MoQuire it is intended that a remedy shall be found for this state of things, and we are glad to bear that we have in Mr. McOuire, aa active and conscientious officer who does not in tend to let Honolulu be tbe scene of a conflagration if his vigilance can suffice to prevent it As some of tbe provisions of the law on this sub ject are little known to those whose duty it is to obey them, tbe Fire Marshal baa very wisely caused them to be printed in a separate form and has pre pared circular warning owners and occupiers of property of tbeir obligations, aud of tbe penalties tbey incur by neglecting them. We now reprint (as follows) the sections of the Civil Code which more especially claim attention. StLTios 333. it hball be tbe duty of tbe Fire Marshal, twice iu every year, and as much otteoer as ba may think proper, to examine tbe dwelling bouses and other buildings in tbe reprtiTe dis trict, for tbe purpose ol ascertaining any viola tion of tbia law ; also, to examine tbe fire places, hearths, chimneys, stoves and stovepipes in the respective districts, and upon finding any of them .elective or dangerous b shall direct tbe owner or occupaut, by written notice, to alter, remove, or amt nd the same ; and in case o! neglect or relusal so to do, tbe party offending, on conviction, shall foxteit and pay twenty-five dollars, for tbe benefit ol tbe Fire Department, and lor every day el the times allotted fur such alteration, removal or amendment, tbe party so offending shall forfeit and pay the lurtber sum ol ten dollars, and tbe Fire Marshal may make such alteration, removal or amendment at the expense of tbe said owner or oc cupanL SkctioS 339. It shall be the duty ol tbe Fire Marshal to prosecute all persons guilly ol a viola lion of auy ot tbe provisions of this law, before tbe Police (Jourt or tionoiuiu, ana uey shall pay over all Ones collected to tbe Treasurer of the Fire Department, deducting taeuty per cent- of ancb fines lor uia respective ix-rvices. Section 347. No person shall, unless by per miion of the Fire Marshal, kindle any fire, or furnish tbe materials lor any Ore. nor in any way authorize anv Ore to be made, in any street, road lane, market-place or other highway, or on any nier or wharf in tbe city, (except for the purpose of boiling tar, which fire, shall not be more than ten feet from tbe end ol toe pier or wnari,) under tbe penalty of five dollars for each offence. Section 48. Every building occupied as dwelling bouse in Honolulu, or as a store house, or regular nlace ot business, eball be furnished with at least two lire buckets, which shall be kept in a conspicuous place, and npon which the name ot lit owner shall be painted 0d all os cupanta of boildiogs not so furnished shall be Jia ble to a fine not exceeding t0 dollars.

With a little touch ol tbe ''Eastern imagination. ' which you certainly lack, you miitbt eke out a livelier column. Tbe Young Men's Christian Association have resolved to iuvite Mr. D. L. Moody to come on to Honolulu when his promised visit to San Fran- ciaoo is terminated. Tbe congregations or fort Street aud Bethel Churches are to be asked to join in the invitation. Tbe heroes of Gettysburg ; are Hancock on tbe aide of the Union, and Longstreet for the Con federates. The latter is now U. S. Minister at Con stantinople on a salary of $7,600 a year ; and the former is now denounced as a " retel sympathizer." Curious, is it not T However, it is expected tbat Hancock will shortly get an office at $50,000 a year, salary. Tbe Board of Health baa hitherto apparently acted on the supposition tbat Oahu was sufficiently well looked after by non-official members of the medi cal fraternity. This may or may not be. true of Ho nolulu but it certainly is not so of other parts of tbe island. We now bear that tbe island Is to be placed on a par with other districts of tbs Kingdom aud provided with a Government physician. Messrs. Payne and Xavier have been per forming during tbe past week to lair audiences, and seem to have highly jl-us-l those present at the entertainments.

It is and has been for years tbe duty of everyone to bare on bis or her premises, whether house, store, or ware house at least two buckets. Moreover, these buckets are to be kept in conspicuous places, and each is to have the name of its ownsr painted thereon. Whether the results of such arrangements will, in the event of a fire, show justification for tbe expense enforced on our citizens may well be doubted.' The organ isation and appliances now available for dealing with fire are very different from those in existence when this law was passed. Then it was no doubt a matter of importance to have . large quantities of buckets ready, by the aid of which water ooald be passed from band to band from a distance. It would be a very exceptional case indeed in which such a method of bringing water to a fire would be made nsa of in Honolulu now. However there la a bright sids to everything. The purveyors of buckets and tbe painters wDJ be sure to approve of the Firs Mar- -bal's vigilant enforcement of a torgottsn law. The monthly meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association was adjourned from the usual svening, 16th inst. to Monday last, when it was held in the Lyceum. Besides tbe ordinary basinets of the evening a special attraction for members was provided in the form of an essay read by the Rev. S. Bishop on " the Hawaiian Cliinats." A larger mustet than usual of members aad others was the result. This however is not saying much for tbe numbers, the ordinary attendance being apparently confined to the officers of the society. . Tbe praise worthy patience of these gentlemen la eon tinning year after year to conduct tbe affairs of a society. which so far as the young man are concerned ap pears to have only a mythical existence, cannot be too highly spoken of. The reports of sub-committees which were submitted to tbs meeting give assurance that tbs institution is engaged la good work in our midst, but its tUle is at pzsseat a 'palpable mis nomer.

Hutton and Jordan. Mr. Jordan having : intimated that be might probably be elected to represent another congregation, in which case he should have to de cline the appointment just conferred on him, it was resolved tbat, in case Mr. Jordan should be chosen elsewhere, and not elect to represent St. Andrew's, Captain Mist.

A bur plant especial ly ouf small cockscrew bur, called kamanomano by tbe natives baa been regarded as the especial curse of the Hawaiian grazier ; depreciating very seriously the value of bis wool. But it has been discovered tbat this bur plant, which is a gra9, very much resembling wheat, has wonderful fat tening properties. And recently a gentleman, who has not a bur in his district, has sent to a burry land to procure some seed for some choice pasture paddocks. He must take care of tbe bur however, as he would of fire ; keep it within limits, and it will fatten stock, as no other product of these islands will. There was a sale of Government building lots on Wednesday noon at Aliiolani Hale, the lots being those described by us in last week's issue of the Abveetibek. There was a smart competition, at the end of which both lots were knocked down to a native purchaser, Chas. ' Hiram. The price realized wae $535 for each lot. In these times when, acoording to our certain politicians, the Kingdom is marching straight to ruin, it is cheering to be able to say that this is the highest price yet realized for lots similarly situated. We hear of a recent private sale of what ia considered an equally good lot at $500, but at former government sales $410 and $420 were the prices secured. $535 per lot is more than $1550 per acre, which may be reckoned a fair price for land more than a mile out of town. Another Suicide. W. H. Johnson, a native of New York State, aged about 55, and who, for a number ol years, bud pitched his tent and battled with Fortune's smiles and frowns upon these Isl ands, haa at last struck the trail which runs by the golden shore, having departed this' life on tbe morning of the 2 1st iust.. between tbe hours of 5 and 7 o'clock, and by the method of the an cient sage, bleediug to death, the wound being self-inflicted. The facts connected with this affair as reported are, that Jobnsou had been laboring under a fit ol mental depression for some few days, and from a letter which we produce below, it would seem that bo bad made up his .mind to leave this muudaue sphere on the 13tb. iust., and had spent the inlerveuing lime between tbat date and tbe day on which tho deed was committed, in arranging his tiuauciul affairs. Ou tbe'morniug of the 2 1st inst. word was m.-ut to the Police SUtiou tbat a man was lying dead; iu a house on, King street, aud Officer Bartboleinew immediately repaired to tbe place designated, aud on enteriug, found the body of Johnson lying ou tbe floor, the bead thrown backward, tbe unclosed eyes looking forth with a ghastly stare, and the right arm extended, blood flowing slowly Irom a knife wound iu it. Investi gation disclosed the tact that the unhappy man bad severed the uiaiu artery ut the uppt'r arm. tbe left band slill clutching iu : death the weapon, (a commou table kuife. sharpened supposably for the occasion), and had bled to death. Deputy Mar shal Dayton being Summoned, immediately inves tigated the circumstances surrounding tbe affair and Irom tbe evidence adduced deemed an inquest, unnecessary, aud the body of . the suicide was re moved for burial., Tbe tenor of tbe following let ter is somewhat in keeping with that writ ton by Probart. who recently committed suicide on Ha waii, especially regarding the financial matters. Here follows the letter of Johnson. - - j ' -.; . . ; : HojfOLCLD, Sept. 13, 1880. Mr. Dayton : I wish to leave this statement with you. I took charge of tbe Armory on July 3d, but my pay com menced on the first. Mr. Williams left $20 with Mr. Clifford for me to draw on,, and told me that when tbat was gone he would furnish more, now I drew from Mr. Clifford during the- month of July $16, and during the month of August, f 7.50. On Sunday, the 15th of August, Mr. Olover told me that Mr. Clifford had no orders to ad vance me any more, and J better apply for a month's salary, I did so, and His Majesty paid me $55 for the month of July. There remains of that sum in Mr. Clifford's safe the sum of $31.60 which leaves In my favor S5.50, as I owe $2.50 for milk. There Is also due me $55 for the month of August. I would like to pay Mr. F. Wundenburg $5.50 ; Thoa. Lack, $2 ; Mr. Goodman, res taurant, $7.50., and the rest you can use as you see lit. I suppose Inquest and undertaker come first.

ESF lam going to solve Ingersoll's problem:" so writes poor Johnson, who has just closed bis earthly career by his own hand. ""And what is In gersoll's problem T That there is no hope of any better, or even of any other life beyond the grave. And that to die is for the body "to lie in cold ob struction, and to rot;" and for tbe spirit to teturn to elemental oblivion, or to sleep for evermore. What a problem for a human heart and a human intelli gence, whose sympathies and aspirations reach be yond tbe planet, and embrace tbe universe ? And what other problem might not this poor soul have tried to solve? Might he not have tried to solve the problem of a Savior, offering to him the glorious hope of everlasting life and love beyond the grave ? Christ calls the weary and heavy laden, offering rest and joy forever. And Ingersoll offers oblivion. And poor Johnson passed away with his hope in Ingersoll. FOREICrNEWS. The following telegramB relate the history of Ayoob Khan's defeat and tbe complete rout of bis army. London, Sept. 4. General Roberts telegraphs at 6 o'clock on the evening of tbe 1st inst. as fol lows : Ayoob Khan's army has been defeated and dispersed. ' Tbe British loss is slight. In one regiment three officers and seven men were killed and three officers and eighteen men wounded. Tbe cavalry ia still pursuing tbe enemy. It is believed Ayoob Khan Las fled to Herat. London, Sept. 5. Tbe following dispatch has been received from General Roberts, dated Can dahar, September 2d : The report of the recon noisances carried out by General Hugh Gougb and Colonel Chapman on the 31st ult., afforded me all the necessary information regarding the enemy's position. I found it quite practicable to turn bis right, and thus place myself to the rear of Baba Wali, where Ayoob Khan's main camp was. I decided on doing so, and com menced the attack shortly after 9 o'clock yester day morning. To cover my design I made pre parations for a direct attack upon Baba Wali. This feint was intrusted to tbe troops of the Candabar garrison, under General Primrose, who also arranged to occupy my advanced positions of tbe previous day. At tbe same time tho cavalry brigade, under Brigadier-General Hugh Gougb, advanced upon the left, and, without difficulty, reached tbe Argand Ab, where it was well placed for support should the enemy break away to wards Ghinesk or Kakrez. The attack was made by tbe first and second brigades, under Generals McPherson and Baker respectively, and the third brigade, under General McGregor, as a support, the whole infantry being under the command of General Ross. An elevated village within 1,200 yards of our position was strongly held by the enemy, and had first to be taken. This was done in tbe most gallant manner by the Ninety second Highlanders and the Second Ghoorkahs, covered by tbe artillery. The two brigades then advanced through tbe orchards and inclosures, fighting steadily, tbe left of tbe Second Brigade being brought round until tbe village of Pirspai mal was reached. At this point the enemy was in great force and fought most determinedly, but nothing could resist the determined advance of tbe British troops. Shortly after this the reverse slope of Baba Wali was reached and tbe standing camp of Ayoob Khan became visible. All the enemy's attempts to stem the current were fruit less. By 12 o'clock noon the camp was in our possession, with twenty-seven pieces of ordnance, which include our own guns lost on the 27th of July. The casualties, in addition to those yes terday reported, include three officers of cavalry who were slightly wounded Major Wallock, Lieutenant Baker and Lieutenant Neville Cham berlain. Tbe Ninety-second Highlanders had 51 wounded, the Seventy-second had 17 wounded. Among the natives 11 were killed and 72 wounded. The total number of wounded was 210. The cavalry brigade marches to-morrow to Kokaran, where it will be well placed, and this will facilitate supplies being brought into the city. In one village taken by General McPherson. Tbe Ninety-second Highlanders, the Ghoorkae and tbe Pioneers charged the main body, num bering many thousand men. We bold Ayoob Khan personally responsible for the murder of MacLane. Ayoob Khan fled at 11 o'clock in the morning, leaving MacLane and six Sepoys pri soners. They were soon after paraded lor execu tion, but five Sepoys escaped. The Afghans only saved their mountain battery. The enemy wan so completely broken that further pursuit was useless. A dispatch from Candabar Bays : The Afghans fought bravely until Baba Wali waa taken in tbeir rear. Tbey then lost lieurt and fled in wild conlusion. Lhe cavalry pursued them for fifteen miles up the Argand Ab valley. Those portions that held together were completely dispersed and took to the bills. Ayoob Khan escaped with a small following. The enemy's Iofs is unknown, but it is said that 400 fell in tho pursuit. The enemy left 200 hundred dead. Probably Herat will rise against Ayoob Khau, who will fly to Persia or surrender himself to the English. . London, September, C. General Roberts tele graphs from Candabar, September 3, that all of Ayoob Khan's guns have been found and brought iu ; tbey number thirty-two pieces. Ayoob Khan has fled to Rhakrez, without stopping. He is probably in Seeinindawn to-day. Ilashem Khau and other Sirdas and Chiefs, with two exceptions, went with bim. He bad no baggage and no troops-, except a few Ueratee horse. He ia said to have anounced bis intention of going straight to Herat.. The English news is chiefly political in its character. The Parliament was prorogued on the 7th inst. Tbe Queen's speech refers to East ern affairs in terms, the full text of which in given below, under the head Eastern news : in timates tbat measures for the complete military evacuation of Northern Afghanistan have been taken ; expresses hope of prompt termina tion of war in the South of that country says tbat tbe project of confederation in South Afriea bangs fire, acknowledges with thankful ness tbe continuance of fine weather promising reasonable abundance in tbe harvest garnered this season, and refers very curtly to the measures passed during the protracted session. The follow ing telegrams will be found interesting : London, Sept. 2. The resolution of Tbos. P. O'Conner. Home Rule member for Galway, that it is no longer just or expedient tbat all measures for tbe improvement of tbe condition of tbe peo ple of England, Ireland and Scotland should be at the merey of a body consisting of legislators hereditary and irresponsible, was moved in ebe House of Commons in tbe small hours of Wednes day morning, after the passage of tbe Bartels bill, and was seconded by Laboucbere, Liberal member for Northampton, Tbe Marquis of Uart ington humorously deprecated tbe raising of a great constitutional question at half-past three o'clock in tbe morning. He said be hoped tbe House would proceed with as little delay as possi ble to tbe more serious business before it. The House tben divided on tbe question, which resulted 13 ayes to 17 noes. The minority consisted of five Irish members and Brad la ugh, Brigge. Broadhurst,, Ashton W. Dilke, Sir Wil fred Lawson,, Laboucbere, Charles McLaren and W bailey. The majority included four Irish members, Parnell declined to have anything to do with tbe resolution. : London, September 3. Large meetings of weavers were held throughout North and North west Lancashire last eight, at which very strong feelings were manifested.

In a lew minutes the temporary platform was com- tletely carried away by the crush of the crowd, lesolutions for the cessatiou of evictions and the reform of the House of Lords were subsequently declared carried, but the proceedings were merely a dumb show. The meeting terminated abruptly. The following items of American news are cull ed from recent San Francisco papers. New York, Sept. 3. The Star and Herald of Panama, just received, has the etory of the disas trous hurricane which swept J&inaioa the night of August 18th. The wind raged with such fury at the beginning that street cars had to cease ruu niog. Vessels have been sunk and driven ashore, wharves destroyed, roofs blown vff, trees uproot ed and a catalogue of other damages sustained, which it is impossible to estimate. Not a single coaster in Kingston harbor rode out tho gale in safety. Twenty-eeven vessels, brigs, barks, etc., were driven ashore; or went to pieces at their docks. Every wharl but one was blown away; the beach was strewn with the cargoes of vessel wrecked; many seamen are missing, and they are supposed to have perished. All the penitentiary vessels foundered, and those ut Port Royal sus tained considerable damage. The damage on land is roughly estimated at 100,000. Cocoanut trees were all snapped in pieces. The villages of Allmantown, Brownstown, Passmoretown, Han nahstown. Smith's Village and Fletcher's Land suffered severely. School-houses were leveled, and churches, chapels and syungogues were dam aged. The barracks at Up Park camp went down in the gale. The banana crop is destroyed, and trees of all kinds have vanished. Three severe shocks of earthquake were felt during the storm. Communication with the country parts is cut off. The wires were all snapped and trains csuld not pass, tbe Rio Cabric bridge having given way when the storm was at its height. Boards, trees, sheds, shingles, house hold furniture, etc., were rushing through tbe air with lightning-like rapidity. Whole families were flying from house to bouse seeking refuge. The roads are impassable for carriages and dan gerous to pedestrians. Nearly tbe whole of tbe Erovision crop is destroyed and great want will e felt by the peasantry. .. . New York, Sept. 4. Tbe 7me$ say.- Tbe loss of the steamship City of Vera Cms is con firmed by the report of seven survivors who were washed ashore near St. Augustine. The scenes on board the vessel during the violent hurricane of Saturday and Sunday must have been terrible. But the dispatches give only a brio! view of the distress of those on board. The vessel became unmanageable, and tho captain and many of the crew were washed overboard, and then at 5.30 o'clock Sunday morning the steamer suddenly went down. Life-boats and rafts had been ren dered useless by the storm, and the men saved floated ashore on whatever they could grasp. There were 79 persons on board, including the crew. ,1 San Francisco, Sept 2. The Executive Com mittee on the Reception of tbo President met last evening, Supervisor Stetson presiding, and thirty gentlemen present. Tho C'hairmau announced that a request would he telegraphed to the Presi dential party to make a detour to Lake Taboe or Virginia City, so us to avoid arriving in this city on the day of election. J.P.Jackson, of the Reception Committee, announced tbat the' plan was for Governor Per kins, with the Committee, to receive the Presi dent at the ferry. Governor Perkins will deliver the address of weltouie to the Stale, and the Presidenttul party will be escorted to carriages. The procession will then proceed up Market straet to the Palace, along Montgomery, California, Kearuey and back to the Palace, where the Pres idential party will review (he procession. They will then be left in quiet in the hotel untill ball past 9, when a grand serenade w ill be given in the court. No levee or other ceremonies will be held that day. Tue War Hetwekn Ciiilh and Peru to be Continued. New York, Sept. 4, The cable brought information yesterday of ' a preliminary treaty of peace between Chile and Peru, stipulat ing the principal articles of the treaty. The re ceipt of this news naturally caused aflutter of ex citement and expectation Huiong the rms engaged in the South American trudu. A Herald reporter called on Tracy, the Peruvian Charge d'Aflair, to-day, and asked him if there wan any truth iu the report. Tracy stated that he did not believe that there was tho least, us he knew that his Gov vernment was making active and extensive preparations for u continuation of the struggle, and it was not likely that they would consent to sign a treaty under such conditions as were men tioned in the dispatch. A Northfield, Mass., dispatch announces that D. L. Moody will begin the season of evangelical work in San Francisco, and remain there through tho winter. His family w ill remaiu. io North field. In choosing San Franciso as his next point of effort, he has not overlooked (he many difficul ties to t3 met or the strength of I ho influences that will operate against his Hneoess. There is probably not another large city in the Country where rigidly orthodox Christianity, which Moody preaches, has received such little encour agement as in San Francisco. Still lie believe it ib a place where he is uiut needed at the pres ent time, and believes that with the co-operation which he expects from uiiioug the Churches, the city will be deeply stirred. i'f i j ; The following also which we take Irom tho San Francisco bulletin of Gth inst., has its interest for Hawaiian readers.

In the speech with which the Queen of England prorogued her. parliament, wa Cud the following, which' doe not seeni to 'prophecy a peaceful settlement of affairs. We append some recent telegrams on the subject. ' " The fail ure of tbe Sublime Porie to execute, ac cording to it agreement, the plan agreed npon ia April last for the determination , of ,te Ottoman frontier lying toward Montenegro, has caused un fortunate delays in the settlement of tbat question, and the Treaty of Berlin has not yet taken eflect in other points of importance which remained Open at the commencement of tbe session.

For tbe attainment of objects in view, I continue to place reliance on tbe fact tbat the concert of Europe has beeu steadily main tained in regard to tbe Eastern qeesttoa, and that the Powers who signed the Treaty of Berlin are pressing upon the Sublime Porte, with all tbe authority whioh belongs , to their united aotion, measures which, in their belief, are best calculated to insure tranquility in tbe East." .., Raguea, September 5.
