We want, says the Govern ment through its orgao, a class of laborers whom we can farce to work at our own terms. TVe do not want men alive to the dignity of labor, form ing tliat troublesome middle class who know their righta, and knowing dare maintain ; let such " get brats and starve,", or go elsewhere. Give' us tLe unreasoning machines, in whose eyes a dollar is a god, and who know no righta beyond thie of mere existence. In connection with thia subject of the rates of labor, we notice that wages in the United States are ruling high, while the eight hour system is generally adopted. Says the Springfield (Mass.) IirpuLlican, in a recent article on -the proerects of j bu6incss : j " Taking Springfield as a representative of the i working centres of America, and we find the gene ! ral rale to be, that the wages of all skilled labor will t average higher far 1870 than in any former year. I Thus, the stone-cutters here have achieved, during : the last season, an hour's reduction of working time ! Pr day, and a part of them, in addition, an increase j of wages from $ 3 00 to S4. In the Wesson car shops ; a portion of the carpenters have had their pay ad vanced from 00 to C2 cents an hour, while there has teen no reduction in any other class of labor..- In the .Smith & Wesson gun and pistol shops, the pay is the same now as five years ago ; their tool-makers get from $3 to S3 &0 a day, and the workmen on pistols range from 2 to 3 25 per day, with boys at from $1 to SI 50. The Boston and Albany Railroad pya j tne same prices mat it dm during the war; common J laborers receiving $1 CO day, and brakemen and j firemen SI 75 to $2, and mechanics in the shops i from S2 to S3. So at the Armory, there has been no change for several years; and the average pay of j the gun-makers is $3 a day of eight hours. j Airs from a Hen-Coop. It was Talleyrand, we believe, who said that ; language was invented fur the purpose of conceal- j JLg one s tlioiighis. Hie rigmarole of words in I the last Gazelle under the Leading of " Public i Spirit," the style of which indicates the source of j emanation as plainly as if the seal oi the Foreign ' ec a . i j ? .,, ... - . umce was auacueu, is an illustration in point contributed by the benevolent in other lands bad j who cannot read and write are about as many as our entire population. We can afford to laugh at such mistakes when we remember that the pro portion of persons who are ignorant of these accomplishments in these islands is less than in any other country in the world with the excep tion, perhaps, of Prussia, where education is obligatory. This description of our " vocal music," purporting to come from ourselves, would hardly apply to a concert by our native choirs at Kawaiahao or Kaumakapili ; ' Hawaiian vocal music is said by a Sandwich Island newspaper to be neither a chant, groan, grunt, alto, soprano, tenor, falsetto or basso, but a guttural sound resembling that made by a person suddenly seized with colic." It bas become fashionable of late years, to make one's mother-in-law a butt for ridicule and an object to be avoided. A Yankee announces that he has discovered an infallible means of pre venting their calls, by thoroughly greasing the stairs. But according to a late Maine paper, we are in advance of the rest of mankind in this re- . epect, for " By Sandwich Island law it is a capital crime for a man's mother-in-law to visit his house without his express invitation. And tie talk of civilization." ' One writer, however, has a very exalted idea of i our progress in civilization, because pockct-pick- ing is almost nnknown here, forgetting apparently j that it requires an adept to successfully pick a ! nocket. i Another evidence of the progress of civilization ! laborious, duties of the Minister performed for in the Sandwich Islands is brought to our notice by 2,500 a year instead of $5,000, the balance the Honolulu Advertiser. A case of pocket-picking would help to build roads and bridges. Good has occurred there, the first on record ! A native j id p,, , Ouirk "that was detected in putting his hand into the pocket of a Jaea e - l euaw,. sam yuirk , tnac woman in a crowd and abstracting her purse. He ! isn't W'bat I meant."

This state of things did not speak very well for the actual progress of the Christian faith among the people. No Gammon. We overheard a conversation the other day be tween two of our townsmen, Messrs. Quirk and Gammon.' They were discussing the labor ques tion, and Gammon expressed himself as fully posted on the subject, in all its bearings. Said j ne, i ny, iook you ; mere is not a iraae nor an occupation in these islands, high or low, but what I could get a man in Europe to fill it for half the amount we pay and the work would be done better, too." Gammon was surprised, and fell to meditating. Atf last he brightened up. " Why not send for a ship-load at once, have everybody . turned out, and ship these half price chaps in their places.

But with all this verbiage there is one passage in the article which means something serious. In the opening, the writer expresses himself pleased, (how .condescending) that the previous week's remarks had attracted the attention of .mechan ics as well as others whose desire is to promote the public good ;" and farther along he gives us a doleful picture of 'an unfortunate capitalist, 44 worried to death by seeing two. three, or four men on their walls working in a most leisurely manner, and availing thrmsclres of every excuse for shortening both the effectiveness and time of their tabor."

After all the' books that have' been written iff tourists' and missionaries about us the belief still exists with many that we are yet half savage, and. have a" lingering "fondness- for "broiled "missionary and baked baby, . Jt wasAOQly recently, that we saw it gravely annonnced as a piece-'of' news-"(in-a. western paper) that there had been wluwla cstab--hshed among tho natives oF the Sandwieh'IsLands! This was in a State where tHe number of people Levi, before calling in the aid of these familiar ! spirits, was accustomed to name some chapter of the ew .testament, and order it to be read aloud, listening meantime with all reverence. A favor ite chapter" of his on these occasions was the 15th of John the Evangelist, beginning: 4 1 am the true vine," &c. . Then, if the gods were favorable, trie "Doctor became poEseaeed, and the necessary directions were given for . procuring and com pounding the. medicines.'- Some, of these, were simple and harmless enough Poke, or marsh mal lows, used as an emollient,'or "drank as tea ;' and Palolo, an aluminous clay found on this island, and used internally as an astringent though this last might not be so very harmless in un skillful hands. Then there was a mixture of pain-killer, liehe de merj (sea-slug) and the gall of a eun-fish. This last was a Bure cure for lep rosy. ' Awa, was of course indispensable at these orgies which generally took place at night,' amidst a large audience of wonderiDg credulous specatora.

Judze Montgom ery, in : passing sentence, remarked upon the strange fact that these ancient superetitioDS 6till held bo powerful an influence over the people.
