A few days ago as our reporter
yrumiereil prom'u'cuously about in
fs-firuli of news, he happened to go
d? ' Into th" above iiremifc:, and being
1 giently interested in what he saw,
t' be took notes and describes his vioit
, u the following lines :
; The establishment is situated on
& Queen street, in the next building to
; Jvjeasrs. W. G. Irwin & Co., and the
irst view docs not striKo the eye
frith that amount of orgeoiisncH of

things in this sublunary s-phcrc it
improves on acquaintance. The
Tnoie vmt Me of it the better you
IRso it."
On the ground floor there arc thiee
rooms. Taking the hack one as the
first one to be icwcil, we Unci it full
pf material for t tufting routtrehses,
f pure and i.aadulteiated" hair
Eureka vegetable hair, &c. This
last h made from the California
fionp-'root. The loot i? described as
being something like a coco.tnut, but
growing underground. It is torn
jnto fibics, which, to the uninitiated,
hear such a close resemblance) to ani
mal hair, thn it is impassible to de
cide, without comparison, which is
vhicli. The animal hair comes in
twisted ropes, and is then untwisted
by band and put through the " pick
er." This machine is something like
p grindstone hristli.ig with sharp
teeth and enclosed in a wooden cover
to prevent the fragments of hair fly
jug about in any but the lequircd
direction.
Tho next apartment is the work
shop. Although tho finer kinds of
limiture are imported still the work
lone here is good and much of it
-will compare favorably with the iin
poited article both in design and
fxecution. Here aic kept the best
black Tiepsencr. steel .springs for
jnattrcsscfl and no others arc used in
the. hhnp. Old mattresses too can
be ivuovated and made as bpringy as
lew which is undoubtedly a boon to
the. thrifty housewife,
Leaving the workshop wo enter
the sales department, and gaze with
envious eyes on the excellent and
.legant disp'ay. A lot of new goods
just opened and hardly arranged
pern the first things that attracted
piir attention, and we made instant
resolves and calculations that when
l.o newspaper business began to pay
; Defter iimi we wouiu launcn out into
$ the purchase of gorgeous furniture
(similar to this, But on enquiring we.
found that the prices of most of these
it, beautiful and useful articles would
not drain our slender purse. Keason
"' able prices for everything, and a de
termination not to be undersold in
quality or price by any houso in tho
trade, is tlio motto of the firm, and
it is truthfully carried out. Bed-t1,-

FViTully redolent of tho forest,
') nock-clown wardrobes, olfice tables,
j., -liairs in all styles were rapidly
jlwiced over. Amongst the most
taking were, n, bedroom suite in
V iuhogany and ash, made in Grand

French mirror an elegant spring
back and seat ; arm-chair upholster
ed in raw and spun silk, just soft
enough to make one wish to sit for
ever; a little tabic with Mexican
onyx top ; but why particularize? Go
and nee for yourselves. Before
leaving the groundlloor the a'sthctic
(sunflower of the establishment
struck up bomo good music on one
of the finest toned pianos in the
country. Ncufelil of Berlin is the
maker, and every piano player in
Honolulu should go and hear the
revelation of its rich full tones.
Then going upstairs we entered the
show room for drawing room furni
ture. Elegance and comfort hold
their sway here from the bofa to the
Iloey p.yttern double bcd-loungc,
everything is produced so as to give
the double plcasuies of use and
beauty. "Jewel" chariot chairs for
babies, folding up combination
springbeds, "Gardner" perforated
chair-scats, Patent "Tucker" spring

mattresses, folding chairs, Kou fur
niture, bookshelves were viewed in
such rapid succession as to leave us
in a stntu of hopeless bewilderment as
to which were tho especial objects of
our choice. Still, we do not despair
of finding out yet. Mr. A. M. Brad
ley, the courteous and well-informed
manager, then bade us farewell at
the door, and we wended our way
along the btrect only to fall into the
clutches of Mr. E. V. Adams, tlio
agent for the Company, who quickly
lei.ovated our overburdened mind
with the practical inquiry of bow
much we had bought We leave
him to the mercies of our readers,
who will not, wo arc sure, when
they view his stock, come away with
out at least making a fair exchange
of coin for his furniture.

Mr. Eiuxoit, Sin, I hope you

to express my indignation at tho
carelessness of the gunners at the
battery on Punchbowl, in overloading

Not only were houses shaken and
tilings knocked down by tho con
cussion, but one of my children was
frightened almost into a fit. I am

perties of the cinchona were first
made known to Europeans over a
century ago, the demand for the
bark has been so great as to cause
serious fears of a cessation in the
supply from its nntivo place, the
Andes of South America. The cul
ture of tho the trees has been suc
cessfully tried in other places and it
is to be hoped that the experiment
will succeed here and Hawaii not
