Tr.if years ago tho centre of population in tho United States was about forty-eight miles UHHt of Cincinnati, Ohio. Tho superintendent of the late census announces that tho giowth of tho great West during tho p.ist decade cairicd the ccntio of population about fifty miles west, whilo the largo iucie.tso in the Si ntliarn States carried it a little sutithwaid. Tho result places the centre of population within tho limits of Cincinnati. " TllK l'rinco of Wales," says tho Public Oiinion, " invested the Czar of K'.uhiu with the tho Order of tho Garter, in tho b.ill-room of the Anitelilcoll 1'iiliicc. In tho absenco of the ofiici.ds, and the surroundings which givo brilliancy to a similar ceremony in that coun try, the investiture was less imposing than usual.

Public Opiiiiuii. 11y the Hongkong Unity Press wo note a debate in tho Clumber of Commerce of that colony on the subject of emigration to Hono lulu. Mr. Ho Amei ptopnsed that a repre sentation bo made to His Ex. tho Governor, asking that the tustrictions on ouiigiatioim to Honolulu may bo done away with. Ho admit ted thut abuses had uiiHcn with logard to etiii gi ants for Cuba whom thoy wero badly healed, but could not sco why oinigiiitiou to Honolulu under the oyos of the Chinese Gov ernment should ho stopped. Ho argued that " contract emigration in bouio lorni or other was nearly universal and should not bo eon hidered improper ; that the said restrictions weio only imposed in consequences of mi anonymous letter addressed to tho Tung Wuh Hospital which he considered an insullicicnt foundation on which to atop tho emigration, and concluded by remarking " I don't see why umigiautB should not go to Honolulu, or any other place so long us wo know thoy are not badly treated Mr. Sharp seconded tho propo Hiliou; ho believed that improprieties hud occtined in connection with the Macao emi gration but could not bco why Hongkong should bo closed agains' emigrant ship-, pro vided thut they proceed to porta cvlioio tho emigrants uro well ttuated as ho hud ovary reason to boliovo thoy uro at tho Sandwich Isliiuls. Tho Hon. V. Keswick, tho chair man, remarked that ho entirely sympathised with tho mover of tho proposition, and pro ceeded to say " Tho King of tho Hawaiian Island is at tho present time on his way to this colony, with a view I understand to con sidering this very subject. His tour I under stand will extend to tho Eastern countries from which it is likely that emigrants can bo obtained und his desiro is to obtain emigrants accompanied by their families. He will bo in tho colony beforo long, and I think tho oppor tunity n good nno for the Chamber to express to the Governor its opinion with regard to emigration, especially with regard to Hono lulu, connected with which I boliovo thero can lie no griovanco wh.itovor." (Hear, hear ) Tho motion was then put in tho following form: " That this Chamber memorialize the Oovomor to withdraw the restrictions on emi gration from Hongkong to Honolulu." Car ried unanimously. Wonio ccitainly of opinion that in tho ovont of u further importation of Chinese labor being deemed advisable that there would ho a distinct advantage to us in getting men shipped undci tho supci vision of the authori ties at Hongkong rather than us hithctto, from Canton where tho extremely unsatisfac tory action of the Chinese Government officials is all that we have to look to. It is scarcely probable that small-pox or other contagious disease could bo concealed at Hongkong as it has. been in C.iilton, and had our emigrants come from the foi mer instead of tho latter port wo might have been spared tlic present epi demic. Kt. W'v. often read accounts in European and American publications oftnattcis pertaining to these islands that aie amusing to residents hcie, nud wo think the following extract from an article on tho eruption of Mauna boa in the Ohio Si-ilc Journal of Apiil IOtli will bo appreciated by our readers : " Private advices fioin the Sandwich Islands repot t that tho famous volcano, Mauna boa, is still in erup tion, and has been continuously so since the early part of October. The inhabitants way that the piescut ci option exceeds in grandeur, extent and activity any that they can remem ber, or of which there is any lecnrd. The principal crater, mhiju 10,000 feet long and 0,000 to 10,000 feet wide, is constantly belch ing forth smoke, steam and tlimo mid occa sionally thiows up vast locks, while the lava pours down tho Hides of tho mountain, nearly 1 1,000 feet high, in broad streams. Some of the eruptions have lusted 13 months, and it is thought that tho pieseul one will be fully as long, for it has steadily augmented fiom the outset. There sue now six craters active, and it is said that the chief one throws out occa sionally n stupendous mass of fiamo 000 feet in altitude. Several of tho rivers of lava aro five or six miles wide, and Micro actually form cascade-", and in somu instances uro so volum inous us to inn up hill. I he l.iv.i has -also forced its way through subteir.inean outlets, and tumbled with n hissing, toaiiug Hound, into the sea. Mauna Lou has been far more energetic of hito years than it used to be, and is now distinguishing itself uuiuvitcdly. Con siderable uneasiness is felt among tho tesi dculs of Honolulu lest their dwellings be ilestioyeil, anil tlio opinion is generally ex ploded that in mi volcano on the globe have finer natural pyiotechuics been displayed than now and theie." The present eruption which has continued with vaiying activity since theout bicak on tho 5th ot November last, is ceitainly nne-of tho most notable of this famous volcano, but it in not so gland and extensive as tho Jimrnul's iufuimaiit would have it appear. Tho crater of Kilauca, which is always in action, and Muktiaweowco, fiom which the lava is now flowing, seem to bo confounded in tho firht p'irt of tho extract. Tho statement that hpvcnil of tho rivers of lava are five or six miles wide is a mistake. At tho eom inentenieiit of the outbreak theie were three stieams of lava. 'I'u o of these weio small, ami the other tlio one flowing towards Hilo is the only one thut has attracted attention of bite. This (low is divided in places into a number of small stieams, and tho latest nows from theie, which appeals in to-day's I'nisss, stales that tho total width of alluf lhr.se is about two miles. Tho end of the flow is some 7 mijes fiomthu sea, and in not tumbling into it with a " hissing, touting Hound," and is not likely to do so veiy soon as it has only been moving lately at tho rate of ono milo in three or four weeks. Tho How, huwovor, has leached tho sea on fanner occasions. The inost amusing part of tho account is that "con siderable uneasiness is felt among tho lesi deuts of llonnlulit lest their dwellings bo destroyed." Tho residents of Honolulu havo not tho least occasion for alarm. Our city is situated on tho island of Ouhu, of whoso extinct crators tho oldest native legend does does not speak of having been in a state of eruption, while Mauna boa is two hundred uiilcH distant on Hawaii, tho southernmost island of tho group. Hilo is tlio uuiuo of tho town thut was thought to bo in danger u short titnu ago. In connection with this wo quote tho following fiom tho Sail Francisco Kxamtiier of April 17th: " Kiruuea ono of the Sandwich Islands, has a creutcr ono thousand feot below tho surrounding hind, and six miles in eircuni foience." Where is Kirancu ? Wo have never heaid of this island beforo.

Recuperating the Hawaiian Race. Hawaii, Mny 3d, 1881. I urn glad to seo that at last some ono has begun to expose nud explode tho fallacious tluju'il idea of recuperating the Hawaiian race by introducing oilier races of nil kinds. Tho rising conglomeration of races would bo no more a "Hawaiian race" than nny Imported linole ; hut nativo Huwaiinns as well ns others seem apparently to hue swallowed tho pill without consideration. Ah said by the writer in your hist issue, tho re construction "must start from within;" yet ulml li crnttitje of native IfiiiruiimtinuA especially of that class who are prone to cull lurue meetings tu censuro tho authorities nud style themselves preeminently "The true HnwaiiaiiH" ( Kit Unit ail I'ohoI) are willing to obey mid govern themselves individually by the commonest laws of health nud pioductiu'iiess 1 Thoy have not the innate faculty, nor yet tho desire for self-reHtrniiit. They prefer to enjoy tho so called liberties and pleasures; to adopt the victsbut not the rli lues of tho Imole; to turn a deaf ear to w isc instruction and despise wholesome example, while yet they are over alert to blame this liiwle for tho miserable consequences. Is tho writer correct or not in this view ? Look at the almost incredible, the vicious eaielessuoss and unconcern thut the mass of them exhibit with re gard eeu to leprosy, despite all thut has been said and done. How many are there who have nny concern or exercise the "slightest precaution with rcgnrtl even to their individual peRum ? If the native Hawaiian cures so littlo for his race, tli.it ho practically cares nothing for his own person, if his love of his race consists only in groundless hulred of tho hnnlf, has he n ri'ht to raise u hue and ory over the introduction of another race ? Cvnkah. Commodore and Oliver. KmtdiiSa.tuiid.iy I'bess: Tho newspapers of this city have published several communications i lately relative to the Coinmtxhre and Oliver trot- ting match, which took place lust September, and I although personally interested in and probably knowing as much about tho matter us nny person, I have until now kept out of print. Thu so; oral communications bear the impress ot one mind, al though possibly written by different purtieii. Tlio ring that has so far controlled Kupioluni l'urk evidently means to bur mo and my horses from p irticiputiuu in the races of the 11th of J one, and iu order to prepare thu publio mind for so arbitrary u proceeding, false statements are made. The June meeting would bo u sorry allair without tlie subscriptions for purses, and tho publio should insist upon n liberal management for thu sports of thu day. No one person has taken more interest in the June meetings than I have, nno no other man has been lo larger expenses than I uuvu iu put upon thu truck good trutting stock, honestly huudlcd. Any person who will take the pains to look at my establishment must see that 1 love a horso and know how to care for him. Cure, train ing mid driving have brought my horses to thu front to the discomfiture of the ring, aud ho X am to be barred. I h.tvu always handled my horses to wiu, nud tho publio have had. tho amusement. I can truly say that tho glory of handling n winner has boon my only recompense, for thu purses won have barely paid for expenses ot preparing my stock. J cm truly say to the publio that I could have made more money by losing a r.ieu now nud again, and tho ring knows this. 1 lost ono raco by putting my horse on tho track beforo ho was in condition. I won live races with " Itaby, " each time driving her for ull that she was worth, and it was this sones'of races that luade tho ring sore. I would not consent to " put up a job" on tho public, and for this reason I nm out with tho ring. Tho ComiHoJore and Oliver mcu was miuo by nil the rules of racing. Tho ring got u decision from the judges, before, the juuges umutuuis ImU timu to consider the facts unU the rules ; but when my protest wuh made these judges told tho stake holder not to givo up the money until ho was in possession of their written decision, mid this de cision has never beeii tiled with tho stakeholder. I have waited patiently for six mouths, in thu meantime offering to trot the race over ngiiiu, but to no purpose, nud at lust brought nu action to recover my stake, not taking ndviintnge of the gambling nut, ns u recent statement would havo it appear. It is but fair to say that Mr. McClelluu wuh perfectly willing to drive Oliver iu a race to decide thu ownership of the purse, but thu owner of tho horso was not game enough to consent. This much I say to defend myself beforo the publio. Having now ooiuu to the conclusion that mi honest man can do fur butter things than own racing stock, so long ns the ring is iu control, I havu disposed of my stable, retaining "Uaby," because sho cannot bo purchased. This much I say to warn the publio. Thanking you for the space allowed to answer the ring, 1 remain Yours Sincerely, H.J. Ao.nkw.
