W" A Government is wounded in the

to offset criticisms founded even
upon a "seliool-bo3''s" standard. Wo
know enough of tho natives and

to coddle their weaknesses and

is the smest and tho speediest way

Leading representatives of the
(bo -called Bourbon clement in tho
South expect that the Sourthern
' f
States will receive fairiecognition
from President Cleveland in both
the Cabinet and the civil service.
Mr. George Augusta Sala, the
clover English journalist, is expected
here in a few weeks. The Adver
tiser suggests a concortcd welcome
by press men, which we agree would
be only proper. Let any of the
brethren who are not "but of yes
terday, and know; nothing," as the
native editor says of the writer, call
a meeting.
Major Rogers, of the Canadian
Pacific Railway survey, has written
to Mr. Sandford Fleming, Chief
Engineer, lo say that he and others
saw on May lGtli last, in Wisconsin,
a paitinl eclipse of the sun whioli
could not have been produced by the
moon. The infcicncc is that the
phenomenon was caused by the
" daik moon " said by Dr. Wiggins,
a Canadian weather seer and star
gazer, to haunt this world of ours.
IJy our request Mr. Smith, Presi
dent of the Astro-Metcoiological
Association, of Canada and the
United States, contributes lo our
columns an able and interesting artU
clc upon the ruddy sunsets. Any
local comments upon his theor' will
be duly forwarded to him by the
editor of this paper, who has been
unanimously elected honorary cor
responding member of the Associa
tion, in return for a letter giving
some Hawaiian meteorological data
and an unscientific description of
the sunsets as seen here. Mr. Smith
edits an astronomical and meteorolo
gical page in a weekly paper, and
has succeeded to the mantle of the
late Mr. Vcnnor, weather prophet,
as editor of Vcnnor's Almanac and
author of frequent weather predic
tions in the newspapers all this in
addition to hard work as a daily
news leportcr.
THE ROADS.
Editois Bullutix: Any one lead
ing last "Wednesday's GazeUeond
not otherwise informed, would get
an exaggerated notion of the badness
of our public thoroughfares. Those
specially mentioned arc probably no
better than represented; but they
cannot be taken as a type of all
others. Our streets and roads in
general arc moderately good, and
decidedly better than for many years
past, notwithstanding greatly in
ci eased traffic. Nobody can con
tradict this and tell the truth. The
Gazette may be right in saying that
" we have no difficulties to light
against similar to those countries
which have to contend against the
dcstiuetive powers of frost and
snow." But this is offset by the
fact that wc have no material for
road-making equal in durability to
that of " those countries which -have
to contcndi against the destructive
powers of frost and snow;" or, if
we have material of equal durability,
that which is ordinarily used on our
roads is not. Then, as to the. dis
proportion between the money ex
pended and the results produced, it
should be remembered that the cost
of road-inaking hero is unavoidably
greater than in most other places.
Let those inexperienced and unprac
tical men who declaim about small
value received for taxes paid, con
sider that most of the sticets of
Honolulu have to be made of mate
rial drawn in ox or mule caits a dis
tance of a mile and more, and that
one of those ox-teams costs fivo or
six dollars a day, and cannot be in
duced to woik for less. Pray, what
big results can reasonable men ex
pect for a given limited sum of
money at this rate of cost? If those
inconsiderate complainors will un
dertake to lessen the price of labor,
cheapen the cost of bullock teams,
and lcduco the distance of cartage,
I have no doubt the Government
will cheerfully undertako to give
more road for the taxes received.

LYONS & LEVEY.
Tills enterprising fitm of auc
tioneers have moved into tho build
ing lately occupied by W. G. Irwin
& Co, It is a most desirable place,
and tho premises aic well suited to
carry on their large business. The
front room is to bo used entirely for
auction sales and is spacious and
airy. Beyond this is tho ofllce and
sample room. The ollice is much
moio private than in their former
store, and is connected by a small
window which has been cut in the
wall. Thcro is also a splendid wnie
house where a large quantity of
goods can bo safely stored. The .
firm are agents for quite a number '
of leading American houses, and
receive orders for all kinds of goods.
Tlicy carry a tremendous stock of
jowolry, and we noticed a largo and
varied stock of rings, watches,
chains etc., all arranged in order in
a fire-proof safe. Mr. Lyons cau be
neatly always found in the ofllce, I
nnd thinks it no trouble to answer
any questions, or show, goods. " Mr.
Levey is the shouting man of the
firm, and regularly holds a weekly
cash sale. All goods entrusted lo
his care arc sold at the highest possi
ble prices. There is every prospect
of good trade for tho firm in the
future.
MUSICAL NOTES.
Chants for improvement Hymns.
Morning concerts aie all the rage

Musical lectures are very popular
in England.
Queen Victoria has granted Balfc's
widow an annuity of 8-100.
M. Peru, a Parisian pianist, has
created a sensation bjT expressing
his willingness to play in a cage full
of lions.
llerr Gustav Rcithardt, the 'com
poser of the once famous national
song, "What is the German Father
land?" died recently in Berlin, aged
87 years.
A trombone conceit is announced
to take place soon in London. If
it is successful the bass drum and
the trjangle will give a show all by
themselves.
A piano one hundred and forty
years old was recently on exhibition
in Boston, Mass. It has but fivo
octaves, no foot pedals, and can be
easily carried under the arm.
The noted London journalist and
author, George Augustus Sala, who
is expected here about the middle, of
February, is the son of an Italian',
his mother being a favorite English
singer.
In St. Petersburg skilful and pro
minent pianists are so numerous that
it is absolutely necessary, in order
to avoid jealous', to cast lots to
decide who are to be admitted as
executants at the appioaching con
certs to be 'given by the Musical
Society.
The Guildhall school of music, in
London, which lias been moderately
assisted from the city tteasury since
its formation in 1880, lias entirely
outgrown its present accommoda
tions. The common council of the
city, it is understood, propose that
land on the Thames embankment
shall be taken at a ground rent of
1500 a year, which will be defrayed
out of income. Plans have also been
piepated for the new building, which
will hold nearly 4000 students, and
will be in every wnj' worthy the city
of London.

Very perceptible earthquake shocks
were felt in this city laBt night and
this morning. About eight, o'clock
last evening, dining a brief lull in a
wind and rain storm, a shock was
felt, which probably few realized
was duo to earthquake, but tho evi
dence of a gentleman who says it
splattered nk from thestand over
his writing table, and made the
house shake, is, conclusive that it
wns not the wind or the cat. At a
minute to six o'clock this morning
there was a rather rough shock,
which flung window shutters open
and made beds ticmblc under slum
boring forms all ovcY tho town. It
felt lo the writer of this as if a big
mufllcd stone had been hulled
against his house, and his bed shook
like the berth of a sleeping-car in
motion. The movement appeared to
have been from noith to south. At
Messrs. Wildcrs' Ice Works dishes
and pots rattled with the tremor of
tho "earth. Mr. Kraft, jeweller,
found on entering his shop a glass
case opened and his regulator clock
stopped at one minute to six. A
telephone message from Hecia,
across the Island, says tho shock
was very Severe there. Here the
shockilastcd fifteen seconds.
