OCR contemporaries appear to be sorely exercised about the coinage question. The scurrilous language against the (govern ment with which their lugubrious articles on thii subject are inter-larded taken in conjunction with the foolish things they have to ajr about shows plainly enough that it ia because they do not understand what they are writing about, and fancy that other people are ignorant with them selves, than became they have any real "apprehensions" to ventilate, that they discourse?, with such pretense of learning, on Coins aud Coinage. What they see in the' matter is an opportunity of making undercover of the ropuIar ignorance on the subject, a Wild attack on the iovern ment. Little they reck about the display they may make of their own ignorance, partly possible because they are in a state ot happy unconsciousness of it, but chiefly because of the chance of saying some sting ing things about the men they hate, and especially about Mr. Gibson. The Gazette preaches in this connection quite a new doctrine as to the functions and duties of Government. " Every argument that the Goverment has should le clearly aet forth long before the coin appears in the realm or the Government will find it aelf In the unpleasant predicament of bav ins a whole lot of coin that nobody will re ceive. Thy Government Is obeying the instructions of the legislature itthis mat ter and are asked to instruct the people whose representatives have instructed thein ! What silly nonsense from the lips of that lofty genius who cannot refer to bucU men as the Ministers without spit ting at them such phrases as "our set of nincompoop,'' and so forth. We might pertinently a-sk this great man, (if he will condescend to enlighten us) how much 'ar gument was set forth" be'forehand by those who imported Mexican dollars, Trench live franc pieces, Knglish ami French gold coins, etc., etc., here and set them in cir culation? EDITORIALS. IYqth (he Daily. Oar Hope. In this week's Gazette the editor indulges in a short retrospective resume of what it pretenJs to be the history of the presold Cabinet, but which is. in fact, n mere re hash of its own vanorings and imagining of what has been done. It enumerates a number of diMiwssal and chances, including the schoolmaster "on account" it says "of a free expres sion of views on political matters." 'lhen there Is the appointment of a son-in-law as Secretary of the Hoard of Health comment ed upon" and fault is found because In -salary has been augmented for dinu hi duty ; which has involved the dispatch t un amount of work which no previous secretary has been called upon to do. Then, there is "a number of gentleme::. who for year? have devoted their time and talents" to the care of government mat ters, dismissed "when success was crowning their efforts." Then follows n recapitula tlon of alleged offences of omi.-sion ano commission, ami such a presentation ot the Gazette view of the state of the eon u try as leads to the writer's declaring that "ah i dark," and a new cabinet U needed to make things right again. , In view of all these fanciful facts and factless fancies, what is the hope of the Country to relieve it from all this alleged uial-adrninistration? We see none; there is no pauaoea, no balm in ;ileaeindess a coalition is formed of the members of tie opposition press Who, putting forward their champion, will sound the tocsin. Ltd him draw Ids sword, place hi lam e in re-t, and ruu atilt against what? And who shall this great Unknown be? Whom have Messrs. Grieve, Atkinson, Mist and Thrum all "opposition newspaper" nieii to in troduce to a waiting public (waiting with a degree of patience, not to say indiilerence, which must be highly exasperating to the quartette we have indicated)? leathern bring forward their man. Their diatribes, scoldings, growls, all go for naught because they do not say "here is our champion, here is he who ha3 come to make all things straight and lovely, ami what he vill do is thus and so." To this great I n known we look to coniflete the other wise imperfect (and hence inharmonious . OAMLT composed of the tuneful live: . Grieve, Atkinson, Mist, Unknown and Thrum. Let us hear from the full Ciau. ut ! The Madras The Madras muddle has got int t h.-head of a writer of the Gazette. la charging Joveiumeiit otiieials with "shilly bailing," "backing and tilling" and " twisting and squirmim; " he is .-imply making out a ca-e that is entirely ap plicable to the parties concerned whom lie ri prise Ms. The health authorities refused to do what their own regulation.- required f thorn."

Ili;t there were reported two passeneers de stined for Victoria whom the Captain .said he woul-l take away with him. As for using Insulting' language towards one of our prominent merchants because he accepted the agency of the unfortunate vessel, what does the muddle-headed writer moan by associating any such alleged in sult with any action or utterance of the government? There is no merchant in this community who will confirm such an outrageous allegation. If the writer had taken the pains to get some insight into the inward history of the Madras matter he would not have indulged in such ridiculous and unfounded utter ances as the following, "from the day of her (the Madras') arrival to the time of her entry the IJoard of Healthor the Kxecu tive have practically ignored her exist ence." .Since the Executive have been devising and proposing measures for some time pa-d to enable the British ship, with her captain, crew and passengers to enter i::to proper quarantine, it is only now, this very day, that the measures and require ments proposal by the executive in the early part of May are accepted, and will be acted upon. When, indeed, the full in vard history of the matter has been made pub'.i.r. the attitude of the opposition will present a most pitable, contemptible and mean position " before the community. j Uaiforxnity of Text Books in Schools- ! The IJoard of Kducat iii held a meeting i 'ii Saturday to consider a proposition for adopting a uniform serie.s of text books in the principal branches for ad the (Jovern i ment Schools of the Kingdom. Mr. Maek ! intosli, J'rof. Scott, Prof. Alexander, Mr. t Walter Hill and others were present, by invitation of the President of the Lizard, to i express uieir views in regard to sucn a j measure, ami all seemed to the plan. strongly favor i The lea.-ons which were expressed by the i teach- is. in favor of a uniform series of ; M-hool books may be summarized as fol lows : ' 1. Saving in expeii.se. Hooks could be i purc-huM-d cheaper by the Hoard if all the : tO (t- used in endi branch were of the same 1 kind, and purchased bv contract of the iub- lisht rs direct, without the payment of com-mis-ioiis or other nrofits to middlemen. The Hoard would always know before hand ; precisely what the books would cost and so would be able to largely reduce the prices to t lie public, which are now made high en u-h to cover lltictnations in prices ami . r:its to several hands. l'upils once purchasing a book would j find the same book available for the same grade of j-tudy In any school in the King dom, and would not. as now, be compelled ; to purch so new books In changing from ' one school to another. It was also claimed that to correspond with the improved modern methods of 1 teaching, the best school books are now so ! simplified, condensed and arranged that a series of a few small heap Looks maybe made to do the pupil more service than can l begot fioni an expensive series of many ; books of the old-fa-hioned kinds. For ex i ample the eight Headers of Town's Progres ; five Seri-.-, largely used in our schools are ; sold by tht Hoard at the aggregate price of ri;..s.1; but it was the unanimous opinion of , the teachers present that more good could . e done to the pupils by the use of the five '. Headers of the Swinton Series which were i ortVred to the Hoard for the aggregate price f -'52.U. in New York. 'J. Saving in time, or want of system The present system our school books involves Io3 of lime b ihe' pupils in two wa3"s ; in the t'rst place, most of the books used are of some ancient series, such, we suppose, as the lir.st missionaries who visited these Islands might have used, in their boyhood, in New Kngland, but long since discarded and forgotten, there and and elsewhere on this earth, except here. They were useful books in their time, and thought to be good, but are now seen to be, in many respects, ill arranged, faulty in expression, omitting much that ought to he in them, and needlessly prolix in many things of small consequence. They do not teach the things which the present genera j ttoii desires to have taught, and what is ! taught is often unsatisfactory in form and j arrangement. "It is a terrible waste of j pupil's time, and teacher's labor to permit j the use of such books:" Secondly, if all the books used were of i the best, so long ns there is a constant change both of pupils and teachers from one school to another, there is a great j waste of time to the pupils when the books I in the different schools are not the same. The pupils having become accustomed to ' the train of thought and form of expression i peculiar t one author do not respond read j ly to examination questions couched in un I familiar terms ; they fail to do themselves ! ju-dice, and are often assigned to classes I where time i- -imply wasted. It was i claimed by one of the teachers Prof. Scott, i we be'ievc that a teacher would often be I three or four months in learning the at I tainments of a new school so as to be able I to put all the pupils at their proper work, i but that this end would be greatly facilated ! and much time ami eftort saved iv having the books used in the several branches the same throughout the Kingdom, with a printed course of study laid out to corre spond with the books. There views are considered to Lave great force w hen applied toour Hawaiian schools in which pupils aro studying and forced to explain themselves to new teachers in a foreign language. Kvery thing should be made as easy and plain to them as o.ssible, if any satisfactory progress is expected. :;. Improvement of and uniformity in methods. Modern improved books suggest modern improved methods to inexperienced tcachei-, and when the same books are tired iii ad schools there will he such an approach to uniformity in instruction as v. ill tend t make pupils at home in what- er school- they lay hapjen to be trail f, i red t. and especially will but prepare them in the lower grade of one school for the higher grades of another. In the ad vanced si liool many pupils meet who have tiained in many primary schools by ditlt rent teachers. If there has been some uniformity in what they have previously learned and in th-- methods in which they have been instructed, they will be found, iii the advanced school, more equal in attainment-, can be classified to better advantage, will more readily assimilate, aud will pro gress faster and learn more. This is what is meant by a graded sys tem of schools. It is, briefly stated, such a course of study so arranged for all the schools, that w hen the pupils who enter the higher grade lome together in tho'. schools they will Le found to have, in the fundamental brenche, such u go::era! sim ilarity of infrmation as will enable then, to he" properly cla-.-i lied and advanced in the new schools. H is not "machine teach ing;" it is not slavish adherence to particu lar forms. It is only that reasonable amount of order and method w hich is necessary to prevent the pupils ai:J teacher's time from being frittered away either in such a mul tiplicity of classes as will prevent any justice being done to any, or in abortive attempts to force some kind of order out of the chaos. The above, in substance, is what ne un derstand to be the views of c ur best teachers in the matter. They unanimously advised the Hoard to adopt a uniform seriesof books in the fundamental branches, and recom mended, as anion? the latest and best series, Swinton's Series of Headers, Monteith's Independent Geographies, with an Ha waiian Supplement which the publishers oiler to make if that series Id adopted, and Hames' Scries of Mathematics. After heating their views the Hoard ad journed to take the matter into considera tion. Mental Training. The mid-ocean position of the Hawaiian Islands will always isolate the people re siding here. Isolation is apt to beget habits of intro-p eetion. This self-examination, as a rule, is not very satisfactory, and those who critically examine into their own mo tives and acts are often lead to palliate and excuse their faults and deficiencies by the thought that thev are no worse than their neighbors, in fact, a little better. Add to this fault-finding habit that of being un duly concerned about the petty affairs of every day life, which, in a contirental com munity, are lost sight of in the whirl and bustle of larger events, aud we have two reasons why gossip flourishes here, and "trifles light as air" occupy the minds of so many. Not a few of those living here are painfully aware of the miserable in sufficiency of the great mass of reading matter that is brought to these Islands by every vessel. Insufficient, in the sense that it is ephemeral and written for the day, ami only te be endured when it is read in conjunction with or immediately following the events that inspire it. There is, of course, very many good books sent here, but the tendency of the age is to skim over th newspapers, waste time in reading trashy novels, and, in short, to read a great deal without any system or after thought. This style of" mental training (for it is " training," inasmuch as it accustoms the mind to a state of slothful inactivity) is in jurious in the highest degree. The facul ties become confused, as it were, and in a short time the mind fails to retain an In telligent conception of what is being done in the literary world, and hardly compre hends the great political, moral or com mercial movements of the day. All this can be corrected by a short but 'systematic course of daily reading ; r nd, to provide in a compact form just the kiudof reading required, there are published several jour nals wdiose objects are educatioual, and style attractive. One of the best of these is The Chuutatirjuait, "A monthly magazine devoted to the promotion of true culture.'' The plan carried out in this publication is that of requiring its readers to read for forty rnintiteg some one or more of the articles published in the magazine, ami then to write on the subject or subjects rend. It is easy to umle; stand that the carrying out of such a plan w ill lead inevitably to a thoughtful habit of reading, and will be of great benefit to the reader. The habit once formed can be kept up with hardly a con scious effort, and will surely lead to the highest forms of literary culture, and eliminate from our daily lives very much of narrow-miudedness, fault finding, and undue magnifying of the thousand petty ills of life. Couiinuuioati-d. The Salvation Army. It has been s-uggested that General liooth, the Coinniaiider-in-chief of the Sal vation Army should be invited to send a detachment f his forces to these Islands. There are several reasons that might he urged to induce him to take this step. In the first place these Islands occupy a verv strong strategic io.sition in mid-ocean, and every" month our population is being augmented by arrivals from China, the South Seas, Australia, New Zealand, Por tugal and elsewhere. As the field of oper ation i " world wide " it is imiortant that great geographical centres should be occu pied, and that the idea of operating in the midst of a large local imputation should be subordinated to that of concent rating strength at jmints where nationalities meet and can be attacked. In the next place a detachment of the Salvation Army would probably find that they could live off this community quite as "economically as of any other. It being the policy of the General to obtain supplies, a well a recruits, by exhorta tion, the well-known generosity of resi dents of these Islands, both native and foreign, would ensure a- fat and comforta ble living in response to this demand. Then again, there is every reason for be lieving that the Salvation Army would ob tain a large number of recruits here. There are quite a respectable number of persons right here in Honolulu who feel a pleasure able excitement in joining in with any .so called " relicious" movement, who would quickly "fail in " to the ranks of the Sal vation Army. Besides these, there are those tough characters that have never yet been reached by any of the agencies for good that are now- or have been in opera tion here, ami the capture of these alone would fully warrent the invasion of the country by the entire force (if found neces sary) at General Booth's command. And lastly, we are inclined to believe that it might do the Army itself good to have it encamp for a while in our midst. The missionary spirit that has successfully Christianized the natives here is alive yet, and would be fully competent to deal with ihe Army ; while'the inducements held out bv our planters to have the individual members " ship " on plantations might be attended with the happiest results to the country . Our Fire Guardians. The annual report of the Fire Marshal to the Chief Fngineer and officers of the Fire Department, for the year ending June 7th, is before us, and we find from its perusal that the Department, while it has not been called upon to extinguish any very extensive fire, yet has done effective service when called upon, ami, as in the case of the fire on board the bark Moravian, their exertions have prevented the loss of considerable property. Honolulu has eu joyed an immunity from loss by fires dur iug the past year that is as surprising as it it is gratifying. Largely built as the city is of wood, and closely packed together as the buildings are in some parts, it is won derful that there has been so tew alarms, and that where fires have broken out they have been extinguished with so little loss.. During the past year there have been nine teen "alarms,'- in response to eleven of which the Department lias turned out, but in only three cases were their services brought into requisition. Out of these three cases one was the fire on board ship, and in the other two the value of the pro perty destro3-ed could not have been more than six or seven hundred dollars. We have not the figures at hcrnd to enable us to state what is the aggregate value of the build ings, merchamli-e, and furniture in Hono lulu, but it is amongst the million, and we doubt whether there is another city of its sie in the world where lire are n-ed so freely for all purposes, which l.as suilered So lilt le loss from them, if it .eiv not tor the care exercised by the police and the Fire Department this could not be said ; and we think that all will award their meed of praise to those who guard against the breaking out of fires in the first place, and who so promptly respond to the call t ex tinguish them when they do get started. Of the causes of the tires that have taken place, four are attributed to the upsetting of lamps, ami two to playing with matches. These six, then, are brought about by care lessnes, and that, too, of a nature that is reprehensible. Children have too easy access to matches, and more pains should be H.swji to place them out of their reach ; while lo'cmuch care cannot Jle exercised in using keriJsene lamps. There was im ported into the Kingdom last year about oO,tHM) gallons of kerosene oil forllluminat ing purposes besides gasoline audjnaptha. The government have very wisely fixed and they enforce too a "fire test" for kerosene that presents a dangerously in ferior quality being used here, and t lie lire marshal being invested with authority to prosecute for infringement of tire ordin ances, ami being a;so, as we have said vigilant in the performance of his duties, we consider ourselves comparatively safe from any great conflagration. At the same time it must be borne in mind that the supply of water is none too great, ami that the most inflammable part of the city would be the most difficult to penetrate in case of fire. It behooves all to be careful themselves and see that others are also. " An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Lepers Cured and Discharged- An event of unusual interest toid; place at Ihe Branch leper Hospital on Halurdav, the 2nd instant, at :i j.m. The members of the Hoard of Health had assembled at the Hospital, where thoy met His v.ajesty the King. The patient, numbering ah . ut two hundred and twenty, had formed in line:, and received them with, loud and enthusiastic cheers of welcome. The ob ject of the visit was to make an inspection of certain persons who had been condemned as lepers, but were now pronounced either as cured or in an unquestioned non-contagious state. Mr. William Sumner, a half caste, and well known to the native people hy the name of Keolaloa. was minutely inspected, and not a vestige of any disease was to be observed upon his body." Another case, Sam Kamoahakau. a resident of I.ahaina, well known in this city, was placed in the Hospital about eight mouths ago, whe.i lie presented a very pitable ap pearance with swollen and distorted face and many suppurating sores, and on this occasion he did not present on his person the appearance of a spot or flaw of any kind as an indication of disease. And there were seven others, making nine in all submitted for critical examination bv the Board, and declared in ttieir opinion to be sound in i body and free from any contagious disease j whatever, and were "ordered to he dis- j charged. And the President and members : of the Board, acting upon the medical j opinion given and the evidence before them i of a sound condition of body, signed a cer- ; ttficate of discharge. And these nine late ' patients of the Hospital went forth rejolc- : ing. At the same time there were others to the number of sixty selected as either incurable or in such condition that they ought to be drafted out and sent to the the Branch Hospital to proceed thence to- j day on the steamer Mokolii. Thus the i Branch Hospital is fulfilling the object of its establishment, receiving suspteted lepers, who are. if confirmed, scut to the place of segregation on Molokai. or, if re stored to health, discharged. Sad to think ; that in times past many a one may have i been suspected of Leprosy, torn away from ! home and sent to the general hospital at j Molokai to consort with a mass of incura- ; bles wi- hout a hope of restoration. All this j has been happily changed, and those who think tney are suirerers oi tne uisease oi leprosy among the native people now readily come forward and desire to be treated at the Branch Hospital. The President of the Board of Health, addressing the lepers on this occasion, said that "the Kins, their father, who came to visit them this day, felt an interest in their condition that was not second to any other in his Kingdom. He felt to-day like the rejoicing shepherd who rejoiced over one of his flock, supposed to be lost and restored, more than over ninety-nine well ones." He said, " His Majesty's Government are anxious about you: and other pressing in terests of the Kingdom having reference to its production, its commerce and important political interests would not lead them to neglect in the least the care of the unfortu nate sick." "You see," he remarked. " there is no prison here, but a home. Yon have had your wants attended to iu every way, and," he said, speaking for his col leagues as well as himself, '' ii was a labor of lve to try and save them." He "hoped to see here soon skilled physicians, who would make a close scientific study of the disease with which they were afflicted." He "enjoined upon them to implicitly obev the instructions and directions of their physician, Dr. Fitch." His Majesty and members of the Board were greeted with enthusiastic demonstrations of applause on leaving the Hospital grounds. There was a large assemblage of people outside the Hospital enclosure, many of whom had cotue to rejoice over some discharged patient. Agricultural Society Exhibit. On Tuesday of next week June 12 the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society, open the'ir first Annual Exhibit. The Society have commenced the erection of suitable buildings on the Plot of reclaimed land at the foot of Alakea street, and will also erect a tent on Mr. Hackfeld's ground ad joining. The buildings being erected are intended to be 12") feet long, and 23 feet wide; with a height under the plates of 11 feet. A passage way runs down the length of the building through its center, and on each side the space is divided into stalls. In the building for exhibiting horses these stalls are four feet by nine, and those for cattlo are ten by nine. Proper arrange ments will be made for feeding the animals, and for keeping the building well ventilat ed and clean. An annex will be arranged for the exhibit of pigs and of poultry, while within these grounds will be "benches" for the dog show. The tent will be devoted to the Agricul tural and Horticultural exhibits, and this" division promises to be of unusual interest. A high board fence is being built so as to enclose the whole grounds, ami prover means of ingress and egress will be pro vided. So far, the Secretary informs us that he has received a large number f ap plications for space for the exhibition of horses, a fair number for dogs, and but tew for cattle. The poultry exhibits seem to be neglected, but we hope that more appli cations will come in this week. The site chosen for the exhibit is a very good one, and we predict for the Socic'y a most suc cessful inaugural shw. The Use of Tobacco. Onlv. thirty out of a list of one hundred und t wentv-four eminent men are total abstainers, whilst sonic of the hardest workers and thinkers use tobacco. Here are twenty names of repre sentative men : Darwin. Hnxlcy, Edison. Charles Kinslev. Spureeon. Wilkie Collins, Trollojie, W. If. Kussell, . A. Sala, Mark Twain. Gladstone, Inke of Argyll, Matthew Arnold, W. H. Freeman. Lecky. Charles IJeade. Frederick Harrison. Sir John" Lubbock. Louis J'.hine. Of these ten arc- men who smoke, aud ten of men who do not. Which is which? Unless the intelligent reader has a (lue from his previous knowledge. I defy him ii de cide." We clip the above from the Otfo Wit tiest, and we agree with the writer that, as far as the balance of brain-power is con cerned, it must be conceded that the smokers hold their own, if they do not rather out weigh the others. But, setting aside the question a to whether smoking tobacco is injurious to the system or not, we would like to inquire as to what are the rights of the smoker. That he has the right, if he chooses, to consume any number of cigars or pipesful of tobacco no one disputes ; but, under what circumstances of time, and place. The odor of burninc tobacco is. to the gentler sex, very repulsive. And though there are ladies (old and young) who " do not dislike the smell of a good cigar," yet by far the largest proportion of our wives," daughters, and sweethearts abomi nate the odor. When we reth-ct that it is tlie nature of women to delight in fine, delicate perfume, we can better understand how abhorrent to them must be any rank, pungent odor. Kveu the most infatuated of smokers will allow that the weed they burn gives forth most penetrating fumes, ami hence we claim that smoking ought not tow indulged in when the practice will incommode others. Let every smoker choose a proper time and place in which to gratify his appetite, and but few will find fault w ith him for doing so. A Political Lesson- On the lfth of April last, a crowd assem bled In Parliament Square, Westminister, to witness the unveiling of a line statue of the late Lord Beaeonsfield. The day chosen for the ceremony was the second anniver sary of the great statesman's death. The statue itself was produced from a poitiait luist for which I ml Beacons-field sat to Signor Haggi only a short time before his last illness. It is of bione, life size, and stands on a pedestal of red granite which w as specially designed for it by the sculptor so as to ensure a perfect general effect of outline and proportion. The primrose ap pears, by general popular consent in TCng land to have been consecrated to this day, and to the memory of Beaeonsfield. The Thiirst reporter says that " it was noticeable that with scarcely an exception, all, both men and women ami those of the gentler sex present were many wore primroses as the token now popularly appropriated to the day." Wreaths and bouquets of prim roses adorned the pedestal, and at its base was a large wreath with violets in relief, forming the motto "Peace with Honor." Sir Stafford Northcote, who was Chairman of the Monument Committee said, iu the course of some remarks about the wide- spread interest shown iu the matter, "even ; ... uic "i.vuri tu inese oeauiuui nowcrs that we see around us, I should say that I must have received myself at least a mill ion primroses in the'eourse of yesterday aud to-day from all classes and from afl parts, rrom loyalties, from Princesses, i irom peers, rrom peasants." This consecra- ' tion to his memory of his favorite flower, j the loveliest flower of sprimr, could he have foreseen it. would have gladdened the heart j of Disraeli, whose spirit was full of ro- ! mance. There is no prettier conceit of his own in "Vivian Grey" or "Venetian" ; than this which links "his name with this! " vernal star of earth." But still more : must his heart be stirred if he can now look j down on the scenes amid which he but lately occupied so prominent a figure and j note how the friend and adversaries of j times past are united now in cherishing hi ' memor.- ami speaking naught but good of the dead. The London Time of April 20th. devotes a lengthy article to this subject in reference to the ceremony of the previous day. A few quotations from this will be of interest in themselves, and also jmssess for us in this country a special interest through the very iertiuent prophetic application th3t may tie made ol them in relation to i one of our own public men. -'The hottest foes of his policy" says the Times of Iord Beaeonsfield "are now in their hearts ashamed to remember that they applauded, or even tolerated, such rude and clumsy in vective as was current during the Kastern crisis." The description of Lord Beeons fleld as one who never to'd the truth ex cept hy accident' would now be hissed, we venture to say, among the most vehement pioviueial Radicals." Ami further on in the same article we find such passages as these which explain some of the reasons for the change: ''Assailed v th abuse more violent nifft incessant-tlian any other politician of our time has had to face, he never deigned to answer his assailants." " The same firm conviction that the world wiil take a man iu the long run at his own valuation, if only it be consistent and un wavering, was at the root no doubt of the remarkable indifference to the intellectual rivalries of society which Lord Beaeons field displayed throughout his whole ca reer." " His attitude was at first mocked, and then misconstrued, but in the end it gained over the interest, the sympathy, and the support of large masses of men." " His patience ami perseverance, his vigi lance and reserve, were at length rewarded by success." His policy was " not inaptly described by Lord Salisbury a a protect against tendencies which Deemed tit neglect and efface the pecidiar fltori of the Enrftitth There is in this community, small though it be, one who has been "assailed with abuse more violent and incessant than any other politician of our time." It is not however so much this point of resemblance that struck us when perusing the article in the Time as that recalled by the passage which we have quoted in italics. The whole career of the Hawaiian Minister of whom we speak, whether spent in the "cool shades of oppos tion " or in office has been one long and emphatic protest against tendencies which would neglect und efface everything that pertain to the Hawaiian Itace and the very race itself. Old as the days of Kamehameha III, who in his later years very nearly fell a victim to them these tendencies are yet young, vigorous, and ever at work. Most of the white men iu Hawaii wdio are not under their influ ence are too indifferent to " protest." This one man alone, of late years, has lifted up his voice ami poured forth all his energy in vigorous protest against every scheme pro ject or doctrine that has betrayed "tend ency which would neglect aud eftace'' the Hawaiian in his own land. Tiie day will come for him as it did for Disraef when "the hottest foes of his policy" will be "ashamed to remember that they applauded or even tolerated such rude and chans.i in vective'1 as that which from week to week is hurled against him. ' The following is Dr. Mourit.'s report to the President of the Hoard of Health iu relation to the supposed Cases of small-pox at Kohala : lbiNOi.t i.r, Jmiti 4, isS). Hi i:.c. H .V. fVi.aOi. I'n-.-ihlriit of thr Ur.l of Halli lt:.in Sin : I b;;c t.i state that I re turned yesterday nu'rniii'f from Kohala. after visit iuf the portion of that District, where Dr. Thomp son had reported a case of Vaimhiid. The subjoined report contains a statement of the ease, which after I had seen and taken the history of. I did not think required my stay beyond a few .lays : (14 days quarantine was the total period). 1. William Wright a half whin- abou t it! years, of a;;e was taken suddenly ill with u mlonliti-il symp toms of smail-p.ix on Saturday the lHlh of May, in due course an eruption appeared which from Dr. Thom.lson's account must have resembled small-pox ; under these circumstances Dr. Thomp son immediately ipiiiruutined the house and its in habitants, the patient daily convalescing, now be ing quite restored to health. 2. Four days after a little girl in the house, daughter 0f the above showed a somewhat similar eruption, but of such a light character as never to require conlincment in bed. 77eie are the only cases jhat appeared in that neighborhood. With reference to the case of Wright it must be taker, into consideration, that I saw the case 12 days after its commencement, and had no observa tion on its earlier stages ; in the face of this I ven ture to assert that I think it was a very bad case of Varicella (chicken-pox) an opinion easy to give when a case is over, in the early part of this case from my own experience, I believe that to give the case a name was not possible as the symptoms and general features were of a newt rplexing kind, aud had I been in Dr. Thompsons place at the tirst onset. 1 would have acted in a similar manner, time and observation can alone decide in a great number of eases as to what category they belong to. whether or no, the above case being nndoublly in fectious and contagious, and of the same eruptfve familv as sniall-nox. ordered threa davs more of quarantine to be kept up. at the expiration of that period the premises to be thoroughly disinfected. ! I am indebted Dr. I.. S. Thompson aud the SSheriiV I of the District who rendered me every assistance, i On flu? subject of Vaccination, the Doctor stated j there were less than 30 in the district who had not j been vaccinated, all those whom 1 examined had ! typical marks. Nevertheless the notices on this i sul.ji. t have been posted throughout Kohala. ! 1 have the honor to be, j Your obedient servant. i AKTHI K Mol'Hll. ' The Fisheries Exhibition- The opening of the Fisheries Inhibition in London, May 12th, was a brilliant affair. Although it rained steadily throughout. the decorations were profuse and effective v, except the! as the mem- i The whole of the Royal famil Queen, were preaeut, as well hers of the cabinet, the foreign embassies, and the colonial commissioners. There were numbers of foreign fishing jdris present dressed in their national costumes, and hundreds of Iiiitish fi-hermen were adtuitted. After a grand procession through the courts, the Duke of Richmond deliver ed an address, and His Royal Highness the I'rlnce of Wales then formally opened the Exhibition, promising to read a paper by His Royal Highness the Duke of Edin burgh before the Fisheries Congress. The collection in the- Exhibition is very com plete In all respects, and there is an un equalled display of life-saving apparatus. The Canadian is the best colonial court.
