A CONTRADICTION.
A speech delivered before the
sub-commlttco on "Ways and Means,
at Washington, in opposition to the
reciprocity treaty, contains the fol
lowing statement: "Before this re
ciprocity treaty was granted it was a
novelty, and almost a wonder, to
find a Hawaiian begging. To-day
you can count them on the streets."
It was indeed a novelty to find a
Hawaiian begging before the treaty,
and has been and continues to be as
great n novelty since the treaty. To
a man at 'Washington it may be an
easy thing to count in imagination
scores of beggars in the streets of
Honolulu, but to those who walk
those streets daily beggars arc in
visible. Because why? Because
thoy arc not there.
A PLEASANT PARTY.
The Japanese Consulate was the
scene last night of one of the most
pleasant if not the most so and
agreeable gatherings ever held in
this city. Invitations had been
issued by Mr. and Mrs. Taro Ando,
the Japanese Commissioner and
wife, to a limited number of our
best people, who began to fill the
hospitablo mansion ' at about 8
o'clock. The driveway and house
were illuminated in a very hand
somo manner, with a profusion of
Japanese lanterns; the interior of
the house was tastefully decorated
with evergreens, Uowcrs, etc. ; the
hostess and host were ably assisted
by the Misses Austin, who kindly
introduced the guests. After an
hour or two of social chat, refresh
ments were bountifully served, and
about 11 i'. si. the guests departed,
all agreeing that it was a very en
joyable party. Among those pre
sent were: II. R. II. Princess Li

HOME INDUSTRIES.
On Wednesday last a party of ex
perts Tisited the boat shop of Mr.
J. A. Dower, and were present at
the trial of his patent machine for
shaping and bending timbers for
boats and small vessels. There
wero present Captain Bradley, of
the Royal Navy, Captain Mist, U.
N., Colonel Jona. Austin, and Mr.
E. P. Adams, who has bought an
interest in the patent and will intro
duce it into the United States. This
machine has already been fully
described in the papers and it is not,
therefore, necessary to repeat the
detailed descrintion now. Suillco it
to say that the principal points arc,
a flexible steel bar which, by means
of a handsorew gear, is brought into
the desired shape, and the timber,
after being steamed as usual, is
forced against it by clamps, and the
proper shape is obtained in the
shortest possible space of time.
On this occasion it was done and
ready for the keel in live minutes'
time by the watch. The timber is
kept in shape by a cross piece nailed
to it, is then released from the
machine nnd is ready at once to be
placed in its proper position in the
boat or yacht. The timber being
shaped in one continuous piece,
from gunwnlo to gunwale, gives tho
boat a strength and elasticity which
cannot be acquired under the old
method. The largest piece which
thus far has been shaped by tho
"Dower" machine- is Ux 3, on a
small machine. Many boats are in
successful use among these Islands,
made upon this principle, nnd are
well liked. Tho two following let
.Vcrs give tho opinion of practical,
unprejudiced men as to tho merits
of this patent:
Pacific Navigation Company,
K Honolulu, April 8. 1880.
K. 1'. Auamh, Esq.,
Agent for Dower's Patent Heading
MacTiine.
Dear Sir: In answer to your request
concerning tho meiit of the above
machine, I would say, that our com
pany have usetl a number of Mr. Dower's
Jjoats built with this machiuu and find
ihem superior In every respect to those
hTiilt In tho ordinary way, especially on
account of tholr lightness, strength,
elasticity and durability. The boats
used on these islands are subject to the
.ost unusual strain and usage tit our
rough landings, and wc Unci that the
Dower patent built boats are superior
to all others used on this const and re
quite the least repairing.
You m truly.
A. F. Cookk.
President and Manager of Pacific
Navigation Co.
Honolulu, April 8, 1880.
.1. A. Dowr.n, Bsq.,
Honolulu.
Dear Sir: Let me say In answer to
your enquiry, that the Pepeckeo planta
tion has two of your surf Boats In use
for loading sugars at our landing. These
boats weie built under your pntent
pioeossfor hemline; and shaping tltn
Oil's, und I am pleased to say thttt they
are giving poifcct satisfaction. They
nrt lighter than the ordinary surf bout,
and therefore the more easily handled.
They are also, from tho formation of
the timbers in one continuous piece
without break nt the floor, much ntoto
elnitle than other boats, and. as well as
I can jmljio thus far, are more durable.
Yours truly,
(Signed) 0. Afo.no,
Owner of Pcpeekco Plantation.
Capl. Mist lias purchased n half
interest in this patent for Great
Britain, and active measures will
shortly be taken for its introduction
there. April nth.

NEWS FROMJHE VOLCANO.
SYMl'TOJIS OK ltKTUIIXIXU ACTIVITY.
A letter from Mr. J. M. Lee,
keeper of tho Halfway House, Kan,
dated April M, gives tho following
account of the stnto of tho Volcano
when he visited it on two recent
occasions j
"I suppose people in Honolulu
nre anxious to hear news about tho
Volcano, nnd as I just enmo'down
from there last night I can give you
tho very latest information regard
ing that matter. I was there last
Thursday, and from tho bluffs I
observed quite a heavy sraoko pour
ing out from tho crater of Hnlc
maumati. This smoke had com
menced four days previous and had
been steadily increasing alt the
time, so the people up there ex
pected the fire to break out every
minute. They have been disap
pointed so far, but there is no doubt
that in a few days the flro too will
be visible.
" I took another trip yesterday
and went right down to tho crntcr,
hoping to sec somo sparks of Arc at
the bottom; but the old Madame
was not ready yet with her toilet.
I suppose she don't like to show
herself till she can dazzle her
wooers in her former splendor.
The smoke was much denser and
heavier now than last time I was
up ; it rolled out like clouds from a
big chimney. Sometimes it was
very calm and only a faint blue
smoko was to be seen, but that only
lasted a few seconds, nnd then
again with many doubled force it
was pulling away, filling up the
whole crater, so wc could hardly see
anything around us but smoke. It
must be very active underneath,
and you can plainly sec that power
ful forces are working, and working
to break through. Right on the
edge of the holo where the smoke
comes up it lias formed a sulphur
bed, which iias been observed only
thu last two days, and a little dis
tance townrds west there is a whole
system of steam, forming a long
line ; this is above the crater itself,
commencing close to the edge. The
new lake is quiet, and all the power
seems to be concentrated in the
crater of Halemaumau."
A letter from Mr. J. II. Mnby, of
Wilder S. S. Co.'s Volcano House,
dated April 12, says the side from
which steam lias been lately rising,
now emits dense volumes of daik
blue smoke. Tho whole chasm
around Halemaumau has become
fearfully hot within the last few
days. Tho place tho smoke princi
pally issues from seems to be a cone
and is forming sulphur very fast.
The natives says the present indica
tions arc very favorable for a sudden
and mighty fire, and expect to see
Kilauea in its former activity before
long. In speaking of the Volcano,
Mr. Geo. Beckley says that the
smoke ascending from the crater
can be plainly seen at Hilo. April
17th.
THE BETHEL UNION CHURCH.

Union Congregation, after the fire,

RELIEF.
Tho relief committee is now dis
pensing about 400 meals per day, at
the Immigration depot, to sufferers
by tho late fire. Of this number,
some 370 arc to Chinese, nnd the
remainder to natives. About 50
persons arc lodging at the depot.
Mr. Austin is taking particular
pains to prevent imposition, nnd no
relief is given except to those giving
references. Mr. F. AV. Damon is
rendering valuable assistance, his
knowledge of tho Chineso character
and language waking him mi cx-
cellcnt medium of communication
between the authorities and the
applicants. Tho fund would other
wise have" suffered considerably
from being drawn upon by false pretences.
THE MARAROA-ARRIVAL AND DEPAR
TURE. The arrival and departure of the
Mararoa, Saturday evening, wns an
occasion of more than usual interest.
Among the nrrivnls were the long
looked for Campobello troupe, to
gether witli scvernl persons of note,
from the leading cities of tho United
States and Canada. The steamer
had n large list of passengers in
transit. During tho nine hours she
lay at the dock, tho passengers mndo
the best of their short visit, taking
in tiie city, of which tliero is happily
enough left in good presentable con
dition to occupy the attention of
travellers for moic than one after
noon. Among those who spent the
evening on shoru, was Dr. Kirkwood,
of Pictou, N. S., Canada. The doc
tor and several of the residents of
the city were mutually astonished
and gratified with the opportunity of
renewing home acquaintance, on the
coral strand, six thousand miles
away from tho "Land of tho May
flower." Mr. II. G. Parker, Pro

O. F., last evening celebrated tho
G7th anniversary of the Order in
America, by a very pleasant and
well-managed entertainment in its
rooms on Fort street. There was n
largo company of Odd Fellows, in
cluding visitors from Pioneer Lodge
and abroad, together with a numer

of tile mystic chambers. After a
brief spell of social intercourse,
Mr. AV. E. Foster, Deputy Grand
Sire, tapped with the gavel for
quiet and gave out tho opening ode,
which was happily sung with instru
mental accompaniment. Then Mr.
Foster read the proclamation of tho

rapid growth and development of
the society until now, when its
membership is 550,000, revenue
80,000,000, and relief expenditure
83,000,000 annually. Tho Order
had spread into Canada, Australia,
Switzerland, tho Hawaiian Islands,

all its laws and objects were open to
the public. Tho mission of Odd
fellowship was to " Visit tho sick,
bury tho dead, educate the orphan."
Miss Hopper hero gave a piano
solo, winning hearty applause.
Rev. A. Mackintosh was then
called upon as tho " orator of tho
evening," discharging the function
in a very happy manner, interspers
ing a lucid exposition of the prin
ciples of the Order with humorous
references to local brethren and the
peculiarities of Oddfellowship. Ho
mentioned tho institution of the
"Degree of Rcbeccn" in 1851, to
show that the Order was not so odd
ns its name implied, as under that
