A discussion has stalled around
us over a suggestion that a Govern
ment instructor in viticulture be ap
pointed. While we cannot see that
the industry named is more wot thy
of such distinction limn all others,
yet tho time has fully anived when
agricultural industry in general
should be fostered and encouraged
by the state. There is a general
conviction, the result of expeiieneo
and discussion, that the country is
unwise in depending upon a single
production for the creation and
maintenance of wealth and trade.
If the Government even opened a
bureau of agricultural statistics, for
the collection of facts and the issu
ance of annual reports, a step in ad
vance would be made.
While tho Federal power is w rest

they were immediately transplanted
to more neutral regions west. Now,
however, it is pioposcd to sellle
three hundred fiesh European pro

A DANGEROUS FIRE.
ltl.AZlNd GASOMNi: IX A WOOIU'.X-
iiuii.T quaktt.ii.
About 11.20 o'clock this forenoon
a commotion started on Queen street,
and in the exclamations of a run
nine crowd could be heard the word
"fire!" Fron the door of this
ollce could be seen flames issuing
from Geo. W. Macfarlane & Co.'s
storage yard, corner of Queen and
Richards streets, opposite Mrs.
Singer's bakery. The fire bells
were soon clanging, followed speedi
ly by the ding-dong of hose reels
and engines hastening to the spot.
Engine Co. No. 1 were on the ground
with their machine in about five
minutes, and, taking their station at
the plug on Richards, near Mer
chant street, got first water on the
fiames, so far as tho department was
concerned. Pacific Hose Company
was quickly at the sceno on Queen
street, attaching their hose to the
plug, corner of Alakea street. That
antiqiuited device was possessed of
the stubbornness of its kind, how
ever, and for full fifteen minutes
resisted the most strenuous tugging,
jerking and twisting of the hose
men, some of whoso hands and arms
were bruised and bleeding before
the recalcitrant screw was staited.
China and Mechanic Engine Com
panies also came by way of Queen
street, but happily their services
were not required. Before any
water from the brigade reached the
flames, Mrs. Singer had rushed
across the street and heroically plied
a bucket, and with good effect, as
sisted by threo or four nativo work
men employed in tno yard, me
men might have done better bcrviee,
had they not been in a panic, by
making use of a garden hoso and
faucet at hand.
The food of the flames was gaso
line, a largo quantity of which was
stored in the yard. A small shed,
some boxes, and a piece of fence
were thoroughly charred, and a fow
trees had their foliage withcicd,
Something like one hundred gallops
of the inflammable- fluid was de-
stioyqd. The fuq originated in this
wise : AVorkmcn were filling 12 gal
lon cans with the gasoline from large
tanks holding 120 gallons. Mr.
James Nott was engaged in scaling
the lilted cans with solder. His
small soldering furnace was at the
foot of a declivity, at tho summit
of which was the tank being pumped.
By some means a can was upset
and, rolling down the incline, shed
its contents on the fire. Instantly
the tinsmith found himself in the
midst of a deluge of flames, and it
is astonishing that he escaped witli
whole skin and garments. In a few
moments everything inflammable on
the spot was blazing, and (lames
from half-n-dozcii unsealed cans of
the fluid united in broad sheets of
lire, that leaped skyward and threat
ened to involve the neighboring
buildings in n conflagration. The
gathering crowd, being aware of the
dangerous nature of the combusti
bles in the yard, stood at more res
pectful distance from the fire than is
usual on such occasions. They re
treated still further, not. standing
upon the order of their going, when
a furious burst of flame went roar
ing higher than the topmost branches
of the trees. This spurt was occa
sioned by the fire catching the rem
nant of gasoline in the large tank,
causing it to go off in a flash and
hurl the pump from the bungholc
high into the air. Besides this, the
contents of six of the 12-gallon cans
were consumed, some of them going
off with a good deal of force.
There were stored in the yard, at
the time the fire started, fourteen
large tanks of 120 gollons, and fifty
cans of 12 gallons. Usually no
more than ten tanks arc in that
place, but a consignment of four
teen tanks arrived by the brig W.
G. Irwin yesterday. They were in
a leaking condition, and hence it was
decided to transfer their contents to
the smaller receptacles the opera
tion that resulted so disastrously.

SGH00LS.
To the great' dismay of the drone,
and the joy of tho ambitious juvenile
Houoluluan, the schools, public and
private, rc-opened yesterday, after
the holidays.
Fort street reports 25 recruits
added to the force. The pupils of
the previous session arc mostly all
in. Some, however, will answer
" absent" to their names until after
the arrival of next steamer from the
coast.
At the Royal School, Rev. Mr.
Mackintosh's room is in charge of
Miss L. L. Moore, whose place in
the adjoining room is supplied- by
Miss Andrews, Miss Bertha von
Holt taking Miss Andrews' place up
stairs. The attendance in the prim
ary departments is pretty full. The
advanced departments arc, as yet,
somewhat thin, and will not be in
full blast for a week, or more. Six
or seven of the former students in
the principal's room have entered St.
Louis College. No improvements
have been effected in the furniture.
The same old ink-begrinimed desks
threaten to do duty for some time
yet.
The Pohukaina Girls' School
makes a good showing in the princi
pal's department, although a con
siderable number has yet to come in,
some from visits to the other islands.
Mrs. Wood's room has a full quota
of pupils, although only about half
the number in attendance previous
to the holidays are present. Some fivo
names have been added to the roll.
When the absentees report them
selves, which will probably be in
about a week, this department will
be as before, not overcrowded, but
packed, the pupils wedged in in twos
and threes where they ought to bo in
ones. No steps have been taken to
provide- another teacher, though the
necessity for increasing the staff is
not only apparent but urgent.
The Puliation Preparatory opens
with a large attendance, there being
nincty-flvc already enrolled, of whom
twelve arc new-comers. Ten of the
advanced pupils of this school before
the vacation, have gone a step higher
and entered the classes in Oaliu
College.
Oaliu College makes an auspicious
re-opening, upwards of fifty students.
The classes are all well represented.
The number in the boaiding depart
ment is larger than in former years.

A POSTAL RECULATI0N.
Recently Hon. II. M. Whitney,
P. M. G., received communications
from the United States Post Office
Depaitment, complaining of letters
being sent from this kingdom out
side of the mails. This practice, it
was represented, imposed upon the
United States the free transmission
of all letters for distant points,
which are not entered upon tho way
bill of tho Hawaiian Post Office.
According to its obligations in the
Postal Union, this country is charge
able with the cost of transporting
its mail matter through or from tho
United States to other members of
the Union. Letters mailed hero on
boaid ships, arid liot way-billed or
impressed with the Post Ollice
stamp, have been forwarded from,
San I'rancisco at the expense of the
United States, and unfairly so. This
cvasioiroHts legitimate share of the
v.,;w -flfrJ.
Union burdens, which the kingdom
has been guilty of through tho
action of priatc residents, has as
sumed considerable proportion".
One vessel recently carried away six
hundred letters outside of the Post
Office mails. Before the last steamer
sailed the Postninster-Gcneral gave
orders to the purser to receive no
letters on board, and the public
were notified to send none there. To
give the utmost time for late corres
pondents, the late letter bog at the
Post Oflicc was kept open until ten
minutes before the steamer's depar
ture. Now and henceforth, no
letters except those marked "Con
signee's letter" can be sent outside
of the regular mails.
HOME MISSION WORK.
At tiic Bethel Union last evening,
the subject was "Home Missions."
Mr. A. L. Smith gave an interesting
account of the work in connection
with IhoKaumakapili Sunday School.
The same formulas of lessons arc
used as in English Sunday schools.
These lessons are printed two weeks
in advance by the Kitokoa, native
paper. These prints are also put
on slips for distribution among the
district schools. Under the auspices
of tlie Kaumakapili School there aie
eleven district schools, in different
parts of tho city. At the end of
each quarter there is a general re
view, when the schools of the eleven
districts assemble in the church.
wn mesc occasions tno minding is
densely crowded, not only the pupil,
but also the parents attending in
full force. The school work is, of
course, carried on in the native lan
guage, but there is one class con
ducted in English. The educational
results of the operations of the day
schools are very perceptibly mani
fest in that the scholars arcacquiring
moic and more proficiency in the
English language. The' Sunday
school teachers and the members of
the Y. M. C. A. co-operate in the
visitation of families and in the
holding of various religious meet
ings. Many of those connected
with tho Sunday school, and who
gave promise of better tilings, have
gone down under the tide of iniquity
let loose among the native popula
tion by the repeal of the prohibitory
clauses of the liquor law. Some,
however, of these, have been re
claimed. Sunday school work among
the natives is also being vigorously
prosecuted in the Kawaiahao Church,
which has an organization probably
twice as large as that of the Kau
makapili, and in which the students
of the Kawaiahao Seminary are
actively employed.
Mr. S. D. Fuller based his re
marks on the text: "Go home to
thy friends and tell them how great
things the Lord hath done for thee ;"
and claimed that the Young Men's
Christian Association is the great
Home Mission institution of the
century. It was originated in Lon
don br George Williams, who 'com
menced operations by inviting young
men to his own rooms to counsel and
direct them in tho ways of good
morals and practical religion. In
18 10, the organization was formally
inaugurated in England. In 1851,
the first . M. C. A. in America was
formed in Montreal, Canada, follow
ed about nine days later by the first
in the United States, floated by the
young men of Boston, Mass. The
institution is now co-extensive with
the Christian church, and its most
effective auxiliory. In tho woild.
there are 2,500 associations with a
membership of 200,000, and owning
buildings to the value of S 1,000,000.
Tho success of the institution is
largely due to its going specifically
for a certain object and then plan
ning and working for its attainment.
There were four classes of men in
America to whom the members of
the several associations devoted a
great deal of their attention; viz:
Railroad men, tho Freemen of tho
South, Commercial travelers and
College boys, and with whom they
wcro eminently successful. Their
work is all Home Mission work
from end to end. It was by labor
ing in the lino of the Y. M. C. A.
work that D. L. Moody and others
achieved that success in evangelistic
work which has made them lights
in the world. Students in theology,
by identifying themselves with this
institution are trained in the practi
cal exercise of the duties of their
prospective calling; and by engag
ing in Homo .Mission work, many
of them have been led to devote
themselves to service in the Foicigu
Mission field. Sept. 17th.

sentalives.
In the ante-room, which was hand
somely decorated with American
Hags and the Hawaiian flag in con
spicuous position, two long tables
were spread. The edibles were an
imitation of camp fare pork and
beans, coffee and hard tack served
in tin pots and pans ; but as a con
cession to the luxuiious tastes of
those who only knew the diet of
peaceful times, or perhaps as sym
bolical of the present piping times
of peace, there were provided tooth
some sandwiches and cake, and the
best quality of ginger ale and cream
soda. While awaiting a few late
comers, the company conversed in
little groups in the main room. The
eclipse on the moon created an
agreeable diversion, being visible
from the windows. The coincidence
of the phenomenon with the camp
fire was not deemed an ill-omen, if
indeed it was not regarded as com
plimentary to the merry martial
blaze. When the call to rations was
made, the company speedily ranged
themselves round the table, ami
were promptly served by S. V. C.
White and Q. M. Greene, who dex
terously ladled out the initial course
of beans. Good-humor and not a
little brilliancy of wit marked the
proceedings at the festive board. A
feast of reason and flow of soul fol
lowed the martial banquet.
Commander Emerson, in a neat
speech, referred to the Geo. W. De
Long Post as the one furthest re
moved from the national centre. In
celebrating this the third anniver
sary of the Post with this little
campfire, lie feared the intend
ed imitation of camp fare was
not very successful. Here was a
table raised from the ground, and
there were dainties that would have
been an astonishing addition to the
commissariat of the field. There
they were often glad to have in
dulged in the luxury of raw turnip.
He welcomed the Governor of Oaliu,
who had been their friend, kind to
them in all their mutual relations.
The American Representative was
also here, in an informal way show
inghissyinpalhy ; aiidthcConsul was
a nicinner ot tne j'ost. lie conclud
ed by proposing the health of the
President of the United States, and
the toast was drunk with enthu
siasm. Comrade Crtizan proposed a toast
to "Hawaii nci," which was duly
honored. At that moment the Royal
Hawaiian Band paraded past the
hall, playing "Marching through
Georgia," and the jolly campers
responded with a rousing chorus.
Governor Dominis rose to thank
the company for the toast just
drunk. lie had never been at a
campfire before, neither been in
scenes of war, but thought he would
be an excellent camp member if this
was camp life. Concluding, he pro
posed the health of tho United
States Minister Resident. This was
heartily drunk, and while the Minis
ter was replying His Majesty en
tered and was conducted to a
position beside the presiding officer.
His Ex. Mr. Merrill thought that
looked like a camp feast. It lacked
many things to make it a real camp
fire. Drawing a contrast in humor
ous terms between the reality and
the imitation, he went on to express
his gratification at having found a
Post of the G.A.R. in this kingdom.
He was surprised that even fifty
comrades had strayed away down
here. Hearty applause greeted his
declaration that ho intended to sever
his connection with his Post in Ne
vada and join the Geo. W. De
Long comrades. He was proud to
have been referred to as the re
presentative of America, but further
than that he was proud to feel, when
he met comrades anywhere and took
them by the hands, that he could
call them representative Americans.
While proud of his country lie was
prouder to have helped to protect
the Union in tho greatest strugglo
through which any country on earth
had ever passed. After a reference
to the healing of the breaches be
tween tho two sections of tho nation,
and the joining in fellowship with
their late foes, according to the wish
of their late Commander, over that
hero's grave, tho Minister closed by
asking all present to join in drink
ing the health of His Majesty. This
was done with great cordiality.
Major Dane, being called upon
for a speech, responded eloquently.
He told of a much desired introduc
tion ho obtained in Turkey to Osmiin
Pasha, the hero of Shipla Pass and
the defender of Plevna. At a mili
tary roview in Constantinople, to
which that dignitary had invited
him, ho wore as a decoration upon
the uniform lent for the occasion,
thu badge of the Grand Army, made
of the metal of cannon capliucd in
H" '
Osnian Pasha having, in
mu?MYmmn
fi
;.'. ;';y
answer Iq an enquiry, boon informed
of the character of tho symbol, said:
"That is ono of the most noble
badges ever worn. I congratulate
you, sir." And he was prouder of
the badge then than ever before.
Major Dane, proceeding, with bril
liancy drew a contrast between the
simplicity of the American system
of citizen soldiery and the formid
able armies of other countries.
Thirty days after the rebellion was
crushed not a man of the army was
to be seen or heard fiom, all having
marched home to the occupations of
peaceful industry.
Comrade Cruzan began a charac
teristically sparkling speech by re
marking the saying that before a
man begins to go into his dotage he
goes into anccdotage, and then
linked a fine array of sentiment and
wisdom together with pointed anec
dotes of the Avar and the Grand
Army. Adverting lo the fraternal
union of loyal and rebel olliccrs of
the war over Grant's grave, he gave
n prophetic glance to the time when
the !17 or 38 stars in the Hag would
be 100, and the 00 millions of peo
ple would be a nation of 100 mil
lions. He closed with a word for
the country in which their lot was
cast. There was more than mere
regard felt for it by America : there
was true friendship, and a determi
nation to protect the independence
of Hawaii.
Past Commander R. W. Laine
was the next speaker, and going
back of the " late unpleasantness,"
entertained the company with some
vivid reminiscences of the Mexican '
war, of which lie is a veteran. In
that affair were engaged several of
the generals who afterward fought
against the Union, including Davis
and Beauregard. Mr. Laine said
ho had been at many meetings, but
never at one that gave him more
pleasure than this one. He had the
honor of having originated this
Post, that was, he believed, the
only one existing in a foreign coun
try. The speaker concluded by
thanking His Majesty the King and
His Excellency the Governor, who
had always acted toward the Post as
if they could not do too much for
it.
Quartermaster Greene, not willing
to be beaten on ancient " reminis
cences," went back, to 1755, and
gave an entei tabling account of a
campaign eonducted'by the five New
England colonics against the 'French
in Canada.
Comrade Jonathan Austin was
called upon, but excused himself
with thanks from making a speech,
as the evening was now well ad
vanced. Mr. Jas. T. White was called
upon to wind up the proceedings,
with a song, lie complied with
much acceptance, beginning with
" Dandy Jim from Carolina." ami,
ending with a medley in about six
volumes.
While the campfire burned, very
agreeable music was discoursed by
a band beaded by Comrade Place.

AN OLD TRICK.
Chas. McCarthy has fixed up the
Astor I Iouso billiard parlors in grand
style. His cigar stand, having been
coveied with gaudy paper, presents
an imposing appearance. The other
day a half-intoxicated man went to
Charlie's cigar store and asked for a
quarter's worth of cigarettes. The
cletk complied with the request, but
the inebriate pushed them back and
asked for cigars. He got them,
lighted one and was walking away
when the clerk reminded him that, hu
had not paid. "What," said the
liquor-burdened man, "1 gavo you
cigarettes for tho cigars." "Yes,"
responded the clerk, " but you did
not pay for the cigarettes." "Of
course not,, wiry should I pay for
what I did not get," said the light
headed man, and lie walked off to
let the bartender go through an
algebraic problem to find out who
got the best of tho racket. SepJ,
