Harmony Iyodgo: iit7:30. SANITARY. From time in these columns the. sanitation of Honolulu has been ic f erred to ai being in a very crude state. Tli" dnngeis arising fnmi this plans (or rather want of pUm) pursued by tlic Board of Health have been repeatedly urged; but still no notion has been taken. Look sit our sheets. Every morning tilth of all kinds is de posited on them by the householders who live there. Sooner or later rt'.uinij the day, a cart eomes round in charge of :i vari-coloiod object., who '.entirely Htnokcs his cigarette or pipe and tula's away such portion of this' as suits him. Hy-nnd-byc the rain corner and this is transformed to nmd and slush, hearing in it the genua of disease. Apparently, the rubbish has returned to caith, but really, it is now in its most deadly form; it has, in it, tbo genus of an epidemic which only wants a favor able opportunity to decimate our already small population. The perfunctory way in which the streets arc kept clean is a disgrace. Possibly the mattci rests between the Board of Health (as guardian of tin public health), and the Minister of the Interior (as guaidian of the public roadb) ; and whcie two parties have a joint duty, it is generally performed by neither. We call their attention to it. Hut wc suppose no no action will be taken till the plague is nmong-it us. Let the Minister of the Interior prop.u-u or cause to be prepared, a plan by which a system of gutters will lie arranged, running into one other, and thence into the ocean at some spot distant from Honolulu ;' and then let the Board of Health .sec that these gutteis arc flushed cveiy morning wi'h a stream of water Millioicnt to carry away nil impuri ties, awl that tho remainder of each street is kept clean. Then, for tho first time, wilt our streets cease to be propagatoia of disease as they are at present, and become what they ought to be. the veins and arteries through which the life of the city, pure air, is supplied to every in habitant. GOVUUHMENT ADVE11TJG2- HUNTS. ! We think it was an unwise step of tho Ministry to takeaway tho adver- , tisenierts from the ICvokoa, Pete Atom, and Saturday Prcs, and we hope that they will sec fit to recall it. 'lhq Government here has made a prcctiee for years past of insert- ing, tib advertisements, copies of 'the liiwii passed fioni lime to time, and otner Ministerial notices and documents. Presumably, these tilings are published for tho public ' 'benefit. They are meant, for public 'information, and, as the Govern ment intend that these things shall be on record for tho public good, they have paid for them so as to secure that all shall bo inserted. Now, these things are not intend ed for Die information of one section , of the public, but for nil. No one . would have blamed the Ministry for giving Government advertisements . to the Jtfele in order to diffuse them more widely; but while giving the "news to a frcdi section of tho pub lic with ono hand, they take away, -..with the other, tho samo informa tion from another section. No ono p can doubt for a moment that thero k are citizens oi uicse jsinuun who . only reRU one paper, Tfitctner k in f , Athti User, Saturday Pra only rend one paper, whether it be i as or Bullltix. Wc therefore claim, in the publio into est, that It is not right to bestow these advertismcuts on any one paper. It is tantamount to saying to every citizen of these islands: If yon want to read the laws "and Government notices you must subscribe to that particular paper. Thus dictating to free men men what they bhnll and what they shall not do. And, furthermore, it is a grievous cause of scandal against the Minis try that the favor should be extend ed, to a paper with which one of themselves Is connected, while those which have opposed the Ministry arc to lose that patronage which, in the public iutcrest, they are entitled to receive. No Minister or other public man should use his public position or control over public moneys for his pcr&onal or private use and benefit. If he were to slip his hands directly into the public purse he would be publicly dismissed from office. And to do so in aii indirect manner is equally shameful. Wc ask the Min istry, for their own sake, as well as for the public convenience, to re consider the step they hnvc taken, not in adding to the list of papers patronized by the Government, but in taking some from the list. Every paper is entitled to its fair share of the advertisements intended for the public information Tjik schooner Hosario of Sprcekols' line is loading for Honolulu at S2.o0 per ton. Tjik bark Edward May will, we are informed by C. Brewer & Co. leave for Hongkong on Wednesday Inn steamer C. R. Dihon will make tho circuit of Kauai this trip She starts this afternoon. Tin: Consular corps received offi cial notice on Saturday that the Coro nation would take place on tho 12th of next February. The Royal Hawaiian Band will play at tho Hotel this evening at 7:30 p.m., when Mr. Berber will present an excellent programme.

She took away '1315 bags sugar, 1200 bags of rice, 15G bbls molasses, 123 bales of wool, 1 10 bnchs bananas, and 1 csk sperm oil. Am. the furniture manufactured in the East for the Palace arrived in San Francisco on the 1st, and will come by the Eureka. It is a large lot and will take up one-third of the vessel. Dn. F'icii will, it is said, take a batch nf 12 or 15 lepers with him to Molokai to-day. We think that in stead 15 there must be 50 who ought to be taken. It is a danger to the public to allow these unfortun ate creatures to be at large. It is proposed to deepen Bohring's Strait, and to blow up with dynamite all the small islands which prevent the warm waters of the Indian Ocean from flowing through it. This would result in an entire change of climate for tho whole of North America, north of San Francisco.

An ingenious swindle which may soon bo expected among the Summer importations at this port, has lately been exposed in London. It con sists in artistically coloring fish, meat and game so that they appear to be of the finest quality, and hawking them about the streets at tempting prices. A fish thus pic pared, which had passed the inspec tion of a wary house-keeper and an expert cook, was dropped into a pot as a salmon of particularly nitistic huo and came out a codfish of the most plebeian typo.
