ilOOKS V
Mn. S. E. Duinon rcmmks, In liis
lectin c on Copyright, Hint it is a
very common error to suppose Unit
the nttcicnt world was very hndly
supplied with hooks to transfer to
the times of the Greeks, Romans
and Egyptian civilization, the dnik
nens and dearth of mcdiieval Euroi)c.
The fact is, that in those days every
gcutlcmnn's homo had Hs library,
and every city had Ha public library.
In every wealthy household was a
servant to read aloud, and another
to copy books. In those days' a
publisher or bookseller kept n staff
of skilled slaves. "When a book was.
to be published, one of these read
and the others wrote, and in. that
manner, by means of cheap slave
labor, large editions ef books were
published. Alliens, Ciuri's friend,
kept a large number1 of slaves trans
fecribing, and made a great deal of
money by the sale of books so manu
factured. The literary activity of
the countries round the Mediterran
ean was very great,
estimate it. Ilora;
for us the names 1
in whose shops l
and wc under-
has preserved
the booksellers
used to lounge.
Maitial refers a shJi
fibby fellow called
Lupcrcus (who wanted to borrow
his epigrams) to his bookseller Atrcc
tus. lie tells him the shop is " op
posite the former of Caesar, and
placards arc posted inside giving the
names of poets," evidently as is the
custom of booksellers to this day.
The price of the volume the first
look of Ins epigrams he says is live
denarii, equivalent to three shill
ings and sixpence sterling Now,
this first book contains one hundred
and nineteen epigrams, or over seven
hundred verses. It appears else
where that cheaper copies were pro
vided. Martial refers to copies well
rubbed with pumice and adorned
with purple. The . cheaper copies
could be had at half that price, but
this was in the best style. So that
if we compare the pi ice with the
published prices in England of
" Maud," oi 'iry of the small origi
nal volumes uf Tennyson's poems,
which wcic issued at live or six
shillings, the Roman publisher docs
not seem to be much dearer than the
English one. Communicated.
THE CONCEItT.
As announced, the Hawaiian Ama
teur Minstrels gave an entertainment
in the Music-IIall. The house was
a bumper one, there being over 300
taken in casli at the door. Previous
to the concert Mi. Dodd sent the
'bus round with thc-band which seem
ed to draw people out of the ground.
Our detailed account is held over for
to-morrow's issue.

Tin: batk Hermann was brought
in to port last night.
The Mokolii brought 207 packages
of sugar and 83 barrels molasses.
The Mokolii was unable to land all
her freight this trip, on account of
the rough weather. Kipahulu, lluc
lo and other places were not visited.
The Rosiulo arrived at Kahului on
Thursday from Eureka.
The Kilauea llou brought 1181
bags of sugar. The wiecked crew
of the schooner Prince came down
in her.

Ox Saturday afternoon the carri

At the Government Buildings
everything is being cleaned and fixed
and ncv matting is being laid down
for the Coronation.
Ox Saturday it was said that two

It is said that the lepers on Molo
kai think they arc improving so
rapidly under Dr. Fitch's ticatmcnt
that they refuse to take his medi
cines any longer, for fear of being
cured, and so being sent away from
Kalawao.
. .
A Fitinxn who has lately come
from there, says: "The lepers at
Molokai arc getting up a memorial
to have Dr. Fitch as resident physi
cian there. It is being signed by
cvciy leper. They say they will
have no other there."
rATr.nnoiJr.'s No. 10 Fort street
store has had iron rings fastened
into the kerbstone to allow of horses
being hitched tb them. It would be
well for others of our stores to at

overgrown with weeds and forms a

unwary traveler to avoid it.

"Honolulu policemen play nt marbles
whh small boys, on Iho sidewalks, and
the daily nowspapcis argue that it he
trays a lack of dignity,"
Tin: above is from one of the
latest weekly Alias. It shows that
even trilling news nbout these
islands is eagerly picked up and
read.
It is a strange thing that children
arc allowed to play in the streets bo"
late nt night. Night after night
groups of them will be found con
gregating ai'ouud tho corners or out
in the middle of tho street, only to
separate when a cabman almost
drives over thorn. If parents cannot
or will not keep them homo the
police ought to bo instructed to dis
perse them and order thorn home.

some books lo a native expressman

Vi: have received a copy of the
report of tho nineteenth annual re
port of the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association In June, 1882. It seems
lo bo rather a late date to circulate,
printed copies of a report six months
after its appearance, but wc suppose
thai the proverb, "belter laic than
never," holds good in this case.
The report shows much that is
cheering in the progress of the good
work, but it shows that ninny
things have to be done yet, bolli
here and abroad, before entire satis
faction will be obtained.

The Blue Ribbon movement in
Dublin- is making 'rapid way ;"b'ut a'
niaii an ho attended one of the meet
ings last week, refused all impor
tunities to sign the pledge. " No, 1
won't," he protested, "the only
Seipturc fellow that ever asked for
irutvr, was in a place I don't want to
goto!"
The following cxliact is from a
Caito paper: "The Bedouins wero
greatly pu.Icd by the garb of the
Highlanders, who, they caino to the
conclusion, were not soldiers, but
thoi wives of tho soldier?. Distanco
of course encouraged this delusion,
as bare legs wero obviously more
discernible than tho men's faces,
covered as they wcic with veils.
Tho . Bedouins noticed that tho
soldiers' women camped by them
selves, and they resolved to' go
down and spoil the infidel soldiers
of their wives; and a body of them
actually went, with a lcsult which
must have added to the wonderment
of both, forllie liiitish harem tinned
out with lilllo and bayonet and
very speedily thirsty or forty of the
amorous Bedouins bit tho dust.
After this episode the soldiers' wives
were not again attacked by Arab
sheikhs who wanted to replenish
their harems with English moon
faces. T. O. G. rl
