ST" We learn that negotiations are in progress
for the sale of the schooner .V.trt Foster to Captain
Hobron of Makawao, to take the place of the A'u-
ioi on the Kahului route.
- ST The spring rains remind pedestrians again of
the. Koad Supervisor, and the question is asked, Why
does he not improve the occasion by putting down a
few loads of black sand say on Emma street, below
the Royal School. v
Poiickaixa. The large lot adjoining the Palace
on the east, known as x onukama. is tcin: rut in

and showers of rain spring weather, but not near
enough to the 20th of March to be recognized as the
equinoctial gale. Coughs and colds have been preva
lent. Qr His Majesty Kalakaca evidently appreciates
Homeopathy. No appointment has been made of a.
regular Court physician, but lr. O. S. fummins,
who is the only Homeopathist physician on these
slands, has been instructed to hold himself in readi
ness to attend professionally on the King and Royal
family whenever required. - . .
HooKcrc. This native word signified originallj
to pay tribute, but in these times it means to bring
presents of provisions to a chief or the King. It is
an old native custom that was notedly revived in the
reign of the last King, 4ind to-day we learn, the peo
ple of this district are intending to bring their hoo
kupu to King Kalakaua.
. A Wuaxe. Last Saturday, a native out fishing in
a canoe near the Lanai 6hore and opposite Lahaina,
discovered a dead whale, and towed it to the beach.
It was a good-sized fish, of the humpback species,
and is supposed to be the one struck by Mr. Luke
Keegan'8 party cf Lahaina, a few days before. It
was sold on the spot for 50, and would be taken
over to " the city " to be tried out.
Misic this Afternoon. The Band will play at
Emma Square, commencing at 5 o'clock. Follow
ing is the programme, to conclude with a march

A Royal Progress. We learn that Ilia Majesty
the King purposes to make a visit to the Island of
Kauai during the present month, intending to em
bark on the steamer Kilauca, on the 16th inst., and
be absent a week on the trip. Ilia Majesty will be
accompanied by His Excellency Gov. Dominis and
lady, the Hon. Mrs. Cleghorn, His. Excellency Gov.
Kapena, Major the Hon. E. II. Boyd, Major the Hon.
W. L. Moehonua, and the Hon. Messrs. J. A. Cum
mins and S. K. Kaai.
A Social. C. S. Mattoon, Esq., U. S. Consul at
this port, and lady, received a large party of tlie
officers of the American and British war vessels
now in our harbor, on Thursday evening laft.
Captains Belknap. Ray and Skerrett were present,
Capt. Hopkins of the Heneciu being detained Ly
ill-health. A large number of our resident ladies
and gentlemen were also present and enjoyed the
hospitality of Consul Mattoon on this occasion.
The supper was recherche and well appreciated.
Dancing was kept up until past mid-night, to the
music of the Government band, and everybody en
joyed themselves.
Pretty Fair Work. During the seven days end
ing last Tuesday, the boys in the Adyeetiser office
and they are all Hawaiian-born boys set up and
printed the Juhou, the Hawaii ronoi, the Friend,
the Advertiser, and the " Second Interregnum,
the last containing 11) pages in all say two hun
dred and ninety-five thousand cms, sixteen thonsand
impressions of press work, besides a goodly amount
of casual job-work. This will do very well for these
islands, or for any other country, for the matter of
that.
TAitAi't and Illcmin.vtion. On Saturduy cven-
ine next, as we learn, the Honolulu Fire Department
propose to celebrate the accession of His Majesty j
Kalakaca. by a torch-light precession through the
. . ... , . ... . . . I
principal streets, and by illuminating the bell-tower. !
The King, it will be remembered, was for some jears j
an active member of the Fire Department and Fore- i
man of Engine Company No. 4, consequently our
gallant firemen feel a sort of special pleasure an
esprit Ju corps in celebrating the happy accession
to the Throne of an old comrade.
Lmporteu Stock. A few days since, at Ward's
.tables we saw a fine looking young bull, on his
travels from Waimea, Hawaii, to Kauai, having been
purchased by Mr. Krull, of the latter place, for the
purpose of improving his breed of cattle. This is the
tenth bull that has been sold from the progeny of the
original "Cherry Prince" imported in January,
1S70, by T. H. Divies, Esq., for the Kohala Ranch,
from Speke Farm, near Liverpool, England. He is
from lamous stock, whose pedigree is carefully re
corded, as follows: Cherry Flower's sire Baron
Wild-Eyes, dam Southwick Cherry Flower by Red

A Ntw Si oak 1'lamatiox. Mr. 11. F. 1'ickcrti.n,
c f Waialua, on this i:lan J, has been engaged during
the past week in farming a joint stock company for
the purpose of carrying on at that place a sugar mill
and plantation. Forty-five shares were put cn the
market, of which thirty-two were disposed of up to
Thursday last, the price being j?2"0 per share. We
noticed the names of some of our best business men
on the list of subscribers. Mr. Bickcrton has already
a considerable extent of land planted with cane,
which will be ready for grinding in August next,
j and the native landholders in the neighborhood
promise to plant several hundred acres as soon as
j operations are commenced" on the mill. The land is
noted for its fertility, and is well watered, in fact,
no more desirable district for a sugar plantation coul 1
be found than that of Waialua. Fxperience has proved
that moderately sized enterprises, on a co-operative
system, that arc started as this appears to be on a
sound basis, are the ones that pay. We should be
ready to prophecy a brilliant and prosperous future
for these islands if we could see the country dotted
'with just such plantations and mills as this bids fair
to be. We understand that His Majesty the King
has taken an active interest in the new enterprise.

A Contested Will. At Chambers on Thursday
last, before Mr. Justice Harris, the will of His late
Majesty Lunalilo came up for probate. The will
was executed June 7, 1871, and leaves his personal
property to his father, H. H. Chas. Kanaina, abso
lutely ; his real estate to his father for life, and after
his decease, (failing heirs of the Testator's body) the
real estate is devised to three trustees, to be ap
pointed by the Supreme Court, who are to sell it,
and of the avails the num. rf 25 OOO to B r r"".iu.i
in building an " Infirmary for poor, aged, and in
firm people of Hawaiian birth or extraction." A
codicil, added on the 31st of January, 1874, be
queaths to Queen Emma the Marine Residence at
Waikiki, on the death of Kanaina, and further di
rects that the avails of sale of the real estate, over
the sum of 25,000 for building an Infirmary, shall
constitute a permanent fund for the support of the
same. C. R. Bishop, Esq., is named as Executor.
L. McCully, Esq., appeared for the executor, in sup
port of the will and codicil ; Messrs. Treston and
Stanley for II. II. Kanaina, contesting the will and
codicil ; Attorney General Hartwell for the will, but
against the codicil. At the close of the hearing on
Thursday, His Honor intimated that he considered
the wijl as established, and the codicil probably sus
tained, except as to the fourth and last item, which
was a provision or regulation of the bequest for the
establishment of an Infirmary in addition to what
was prescribed in the will. There will probably be
further argument before Judge Harris on this point,
and we hear that it is likely an appeal will be taken
on the whole matter to the full Court.
A Scbprise Party. On Tuesday evening last, in
the vestry-room of the Fort Street Church, there was
a large assemblage of the parishioners of the Rev.
Mr.'Frear, who gave that gentleman a testimonial of
the esteem in which he is held, in the shape of a hand
somely filled purse (some 340) for the purpose of
making good the loss sustained by him at a fire on the
2d of last month. The secret had been quite well
kept, so far as the Reverend gentleman was con-,
cerned, so that the agreeable surprise to him was a
real one. I. McCully, Esq. made the presentation on
behalf of the donors, in a speech which was so neat
and appropriate, that we find it impossible to do it
justice in an ordinary notice, like this. He began by
quoting a saying of Rochefoucauld, to the effect that
we all take a kind of secret enjoyment in the mis
fortunes of our friends;" and added that it was felt
to be true when the misfortunes of a man were the
occasion and opportunity for the expression of the
good feelings of his friends towards him ; and with
more that was peculiarly pertinent to the subject and
the occasion, Mr. McCully concluded by saying
that " a good pastor, charging himself much with our
spiritual affairs, his people may well charge them
selves that he suffer no inconvenience by such an ex
tra loss as the one alluded to." Mr. Frcar's reply
was brief and feeling, but equally appropriate and to
the point as was the address. The presentation being
over, the company was treated to some really fine
music. Miss Carrie Castle ou the piano and Mr. J.
E. Barnard on the violin, gave with excellent taste
and execution the Overture to von Weber's Opera of
"Oberon," followed by the beautiful Aria of "Ave
Maria," sung by Mr. Fenard, accompanied by Miss
Castle and Mr. Barnard. Of the musical abilities of
ttese gentlemen, every one here is cognizant, but
Mi4f Cafe has developed a remarkable talent and
skill on the piano forte. The very pleasant affair was
Bgreally concluded by the company partaking of
the bountiful and extremely appetizing tea and cake
provided by the ladies fjr the occasion.

Public Meeting at Lahaina.
His Excellency J. M. Kapena, the newly appointed
Governor cf Maui and its dependencies, met the peo
ple of that city by appointment, in the Church at
Wainee, on the 2oth ult. The meeting was duly or
ganized by the election of a President and Secretary,
whereupon the Hon. L. Aholo read His Majesty's
Commission appointing Judge Kapena to the post of
Governor. His Excellency having been called upon,
addressed the assemblage as follows :
Gentlemln : I have requested your presence
here to-day to hear read the Commission as Governor
of this province conferred upon me by His Most Gra
cious Majesty the King, and to address to you a few
remarks upon the events which have led to my ap-
pointtneoi.
In accepting this position, not only of honor but
one 01 the nigtiest trust and confidence that our Gra
cious King has conferred upon one of bis subjects,
1 am wen aware or the responsibility of the office,
the functions of which I am about to assume.
It ia of course known to you that His Late Majesty
Lunalilo, although often solicited to do so, at last died
without appointing any Successor to the Throne.
During the interregnum, the country was aeain
called upon to choose through its Legislative Assem
bly a new htirps for a Royal fcucccssion, and the late
iving s Cabinet obeying the requisition of the Consti
tution, immediately called the Assembly together for
this purpose.
The result of their deliberation w is a clear and de
cisive majority for his present Majesty, Kalakaua.
The election of the King was unfortunately followed
by some distur!-nces, during which the Court House
of Honolulu vu3 injured, and some of the members
of the Legislature- maltreated at the hands of tbe
mob,
The ships of war then iu harbor having landed their
marines, the riot was quelled without further diffi-
culty, ana things have now, lam glad to say resumed
their customary tranquility, and most of those wba
were active in those disturbance are now in custody,
aud will be proceeded with according to law.
Upon the accession of Ills Majesty to the Throne
of Hawaii, and after having taken tho oath as pro
vided for under the Constitution, the flag was im
mediately saluted, by the ships of war in port, and
he was waited on by all the Ministers, Consuls, and
Representatives of Foreign powers, and his right to
the Throne was publicly and formally acknowledged
by them.
His Majesty the King then made known his will
and pleasure to appoint His Brother, His Royal
Highness, William Pitt Leleiohoku, as His Successor
up- n the Throne, and having obtained tho alhesiou
cf tho Noble to this eb'-ice, ho was iminc liaUli re

Reflections on the Hiot.
It Is not until the smoke of battle has cleared
away, and the funeral volley ia fired over the honor
ed dead, that we can Fpooulatc upon the causes of
victory or defeat. It has been even thought that ao
curato and philosophixAl history, cannot be written
until centuries after the events have taken place
But an impartial observer of a drama id history,
familiar with all the. snrroondlng tircuinstancw, ran
generally form a more accurate judgment of events,
than one who only sees them through the twilight
of time.
- As un eye witness of the riot of the 12th ult. and
us one who has watched the cflcefs einco that time, I
shall venture to draw ; some . conclusions from the
facts, us they fell under my immediate observation.
Although there had been vague rumor of violence
arooow 1L4 . Umuaiilti rnMkA a! ax a j.i U.m i.. il. l...
tion, yet it was regarded as the result of momentary
partisau excitement only. There were tiuprmiu
tions for any violent "outbreak, no arming of any
thing like an organized force, nor was there any in
stance of a single individual armed for any act of
violence. . . -
The discontented fjuecnites appeared upon the
Court House yard without arms of any kind. - Their
leading demagogues made inflammatory speeches and
fanned the epiri of excitement into, a flame. .Had it
not been for these exciting appeals, the crowd would
have dispersed in quiet and no deinonwf rations wonld
have been made. The outbreak was evidently on the
spur of the moment, the immediate exciting cause
being the harangues of the Clueeuitc icaker.
From the peaceable and law-abiding character of
the native people, no person anticipated a violent
outbreak. During tho half century in which the
Hawaiian people have been advancing on the road to
civilization, there has not been a serious riot or mob,
such as almost annually stain tho historical record of
the most civilized and enlightened nations.
On the announcement of the flection of His Maj.
etity Kalakaua, there were many vivas, and for a
moment all seemed quiet; but the inflammatory op
peals of a very few emissaries, in a most excited and
insane manner roused tho canaile to madness, nud
a surging of the crowd commenced. Bat the whole
number of the rabble thns excited and eniaged did
not amount to one bundrod. Indeed when the first
assault was made on the carrlago of Major Moeho
nua, I could not count fifty, and iu the height of the
excitement, in the VandaUlikc assault upon the
Court House, tbey were not greatly augmented.
Many yelled and shouted vociferously among them
excited women who took no active part in the mat
ter, a mixed tumultuous crowd of friend and foe,
without a head or organization. All the wesoons
were improvised as sudden us the outbreak.
Marshal Parke was active in the performance of
his duty as well as the sheriff. Mr. Dayton. Ihsif
seemed almost ubiquitous aud opposed the disturb
ance wherever it appeared concentrated stronrc,t
They made strong and energetic oppcali and used
all the force at their disposal, aud did all thut men
could do under the circumstance to arrest the mad
torrent, the foreign police and a few of tho natives,
gave the Marshal all tho aid in their towor. but thn
greater portion of the native police force, was either
paralyzed with Tear or sympathized with the rioter.
I have heard some word of censure tiftsseil atrainst
the Marshal, for not coming prepared with fire arms
and using them to quell the riot. Those who Mcuk
in this manner have not examined impartially all
the fact and the result of the Marshal's action.
It may here be remarked that the iiicht ruction
to the riot, the Matthal called all tbe native polio
force together and distinctly informed them, that
they must know no candidate, aod take no r.art in
the coming election, but must be prepared to sustain
whoever might be elected to the throne and preserve)
the public peace. That if there were any who had
a preference or sympathies in favor of cither candi
date that would overcome their sense of duty, they
must retire they must leave then and not cmhar-
raes him in his efforts to preserve the publio pence.
They all answered that they had no preference no
sympathy and that they would use every effort to
aid him in their power. The result exhibit what
reliance can be placed in their word.
After the riot, the Marshal again called the amo
police force around him and told them that to make
amends for their luke-warmneaa in preserving t ho
pe ace, they must arreat the oDenders. To this call
they responded with great activity. So it seem
they were mostly useless in preserving the peace,
but active in making arrests after tho disturbance
was quelled.
Now that quiet is restored, no lives lost, the mot
guilty of the offenders apprehended and subject to
the punishment prescribed by law. is not such a re
sult far better than to have proceeded to tlie last re
sort and shed the blood of the misguided people in
the street, whose stain and memory never could havo
been washed out ? Would not tbe shedding of blood
under the circumstances have inaugurated an era in
the history of Hawaii nci, which would have been
marked by blood-stained periodical convulsions, pre
sided over and guided by the spirit of revenge T A
glance at the history of the past in nations of the
highest civilization, will solve tbe problem.
Tbe mild and humane exertions of the officers of
the law, are deserving of the his;bet commendation.
They prevented the stain of biood. which nothing
but blood could have wiped out, and the thanks of
the whole community are due to the men, who thus
had the moral courage to do their duty, without the
needless sacrifice of life. .
It is always beet to avoid extreme measures, and
the result in this instance shows that our officers
acted wisely and with prudent forethought.
