able instrumentality in hruunaz abont the desired

that the Advertiser, immedialeiy after th; acces
sion of His present Majesty, was the first to resur
rect tho hope of a treaty; but will simply show
how abjectly the Gazette though nd ?poke of. it
at that time, by tho following quotation from nn
editorial in that paper of February 2. 1S7I : -; We
have wasted much valuable- time jr. irnitless en
deavors to secure a treaty : let ii" then in future

Max Ovr.iin-Mkn. Capt .Ifoob ftiown
of thA
i i A
steamer Pfle, had an adventure outside the harbor 1
last Sunday morning, whii li nwy be called a nar
row escape. The chain mooring "of the bell-buoy
having parted. Capt. Brown ms engaged with his
crew of natives in heaving it oi board the Tele,
preparatory to towing the bnoyinto port, when the
ropo parted, and tho Caplnin (who was standing
in an exposed position, where he would'nt have
allowed any ono else to stand) was jerked over
board. Ho went down a short distance and com
ing to the tuirface got hold f a rope alongside
the tug. Two of the cww, wlm are prisoners from
the jail, bhowed their good feeing fcby promptly
jumping into tho pea to tl;e asisiance f the cap
tain. It is not a fact, as repcrlod h die Gar.ttte,
that Capt. Crown " went down to the bottom"
seeing that the water is some forty fathoms deep
at that spot.
A Hawaiian's Enolish. The imported way in
which some Hawaiian; learn English, and fail to
get at the construction of the language is funnily
illustrated in the following letter which has been
handed its :
Dear Friend. Sir. I hate none ol the news of
here for yon, but I have a good health in here.
Now I have a strong feeling io find chance to
meet with yon next time will be shorted.
Therefore I hasted to move some news of here.
Of this place 'two weeks ago, is very dry weather ;
in afternoon of every dayes, the heat increase?.
In these dayes, in tho afternoon until evening
have covered with a generally rain without 2 or 3
dayes. Of the wind change iron north-east to the
north as Waialua called the moae-ku," pea-breeze
or gentle gale to carrying through the land a
heavy rain. Be excuse rue in my mistake of writ
ing. I remain, yours truly. -.'"
A.MATi'.t'R Theatricals. To say that the large
andience of ladies and gentlemen (hat witnessed
the "performance for a charitable purpose7' on
Saturday night lat at the Hawaiian Theatre, was
well pleased thereat, would but very inadequately
express the universal verdict. Evctybody was de
lighted, as well as surprised, at the performances
of our amateurs, which certainly wonld have re
flected credit on old stagers. It rertinded old rest
dents of the days of the " Theppiaiv' more than
twenty-five years ago, when a company of ama
teurs nsed to weekly aranse the town and did it
well, too, only that there being real ladies in
the company, the female characters were represen
ted by the smallest and best-looking young men
obtainable. In the present instance the ladies
were real ones, and they all took tbeir pnrls with
a cleverness uxi self-possession that tor novices
wa3 very surprising. And the same may be said
of the gentlemen, who looked and acted their
characters to " perfection." Where all did so well,
we prefer not to particlaria-', but beg to express
the hope that circumstances may combine ere long
to bring about another performance by the Hono
lulu amateurs.

J 1
ir piirchain powor i- a jfroat a that of fold;
; and this la a piceof pnro good foitnne1 which hardly
an other country with a preent ilver standard
enjoe.
It appear- io me then that in order to remain :r
well off a we are, we innt prevent any further
addition- to our stock ol silver, and endeavor to
absorb what we hive (which i greatly our of pro.
portion to gold) without depreciation.
f therefore sugj;etd that from a tuen date, a
: !-w moniln hence, we bo!ild alopt a gold etand-
1 ard, but that silver should be legal tender for 2.
- ' .,,
pt?r cent. i an paynienis over say nny uoiiarfi.
By tlii roana the Sl'0,000 gold would carry with
it $57,000 in atlver. leaving till 123,0O0 to be
ued in -iniall payment ami for plantation use. A
good deal of money will doubtless be brought
here, and ueces-iarily in gold, and aa th require
ment for plantation, Ac. will be much increased,
ihe glut of silver will be gradually reduced.
I am aware that thi scheme will b objectiona
ble, but I venture to ihink it the least objection,
able wny of dealing wish very objectionable cir
cumstancep, and it avoids a very important error
that of separating gold from filverin their circu
lation. I? i not with any desire to criticize but
siraidv from a desire that we may all do what is
I . 1 . '
best for us all, that I refer to what seems to me a
most undesirable element in the act now before
the House. It provide that gold shall be the
j standard, and that silver which forms more than
j half our currency, shall be constantly fluctuating.
In fact it forces it depreciation. Under my
scheme a man may hoard cheques as long as he
likes, feeling assured that they will always bring
bim legal tender for all payments, but under the
act the confusion will be endless he may have to
meet a note of $2,000, and perhaps has
4 plantation order of $30 each. .
4 plantation order of 9120 each.
2 cheques $-00 each.
.$ 123 gold. .,.t:uOilrrr
300 row . . . . l'JO ail ver
. 900 gold.... 900 silver
$l,CS0roM 630
Bat his note for $2004 can only be paid by $1C00
gold and 400 silver, therefore he mast hoard or
boy at a premium the extra gold. Now under the
25 per cent, scheme he could pay 1500 gold and
$500 silver, bat then all hit orders and cheques
woald have brought the tame ratio. Again a ship
per of sugar takes $5000 exchange to the lank, re
ceiving $4150 gold and S850 silver. He has to
pay
2 note of $1000 each. aay.........$LvOO flolJ....$000 Urrr
4 account of $80 each, say lUOfold.... SOOailver
3 orders of $200 each, ny.... 450 gold.... 160 allver
$i070 S0O
He has paid out all his silver and has $2080 gold
left, which he will hoard for duties or sell to tome
unlucky man who must have gold or fail, whereas
by the 25 per cent, scheme the gold and silver would
come and go together.
The result will be that silver being at a discount,
all who lock op will lock up gold, and as emergen
cies may always arise, many who never do so now
will have to lock up; and those who control exchange
and sell it in large amounts, will have an immense
advantage over others. I believe that even if gold
and silver accounts could be legally kept at the bank
(which under this act I do not think possible), there
would be a constant drain cf gold from the Lank to
pay large cheques and exchange, in return for which
the bank would receive a larger proportion of silver
because their depesits and sales of exchange would
be in small amounts. But to add to our difficulties,
all duties are to be paid in gold. Where is the gold
to come from ? And where is it to go to ? The gov
ernment coins no money, and provides none, and
yet insists that whilst it pays out money in same
proportions as other people, all its more important
collections are to be In gold only. I am not learned
in the law, but if once legal tender is declared as ia
sections 2 and C, I cannot see how the Minister of
Finance can be authorized to require duties to be
paid In anything other than legal tender, or how be
can refuse to accept the coins which are declared by
this act to be lawful payment of all debts, nowever,
assuming that I am mistaken in this, I fear " corn
et i in gold " will be cf weekly occurrence and the
treasury will always be the " prominent operator."
There are many evils inseparable from the green
Lack system, bat the system wss a necessity. Under
this act we seem to be importing the evils without
the necessity.
But, sir, there is one elause that lies before me,
and yet I can scarcely believe in its reality.
Section 8 provides that from the date of the pas
sage of this act, all duties are to be payable in gold !
The rest of the act goes into effect next March, so
that we have it proposed that whilst no one can in
sist on the government or any one else for the next
four or five months paying one dollar cf any indebt
edness in gold (because silver is legal tender to any
amount) yet the government can make any one of
us bankrupt who does not provide gold.
Why sir, there is not $20,000, gold, in the coun
try outside the treasury. And I fear that any at
tempt to make special gold payments or to reduce
the legsl tender value of silver below 23 per cent,
will have most disastrous effects on the commercial
condition of the country. The mcit important fact
we have to note is the large amount of silver we
have here. We cannot change the value of gold,
and I feel that we dare not change the value of sil-
ver.
At present I maintain that we Lave not a
depreciated currency, but unless I am much rcistak-
en, the effect of the proposed act will be at once
long before March, to depreciate cur currency and
to nlace in a pesitioncf rcs?:ble tmbsrrssrnient every
av .
business in the place.
There Is oce feature jQ tLe tKTCtti teader
thftt x am rrfactant to notice, because it seems
to imply a doubt of the perfections of lay fellow
f to in. But with that melancholy consciousness of
) LuEianJnSrmity which some of ns no doubt pcss,
can we not imagine subdued wrangles arising as to
whether a combination of cheques and accounts and
orders should be paid in its individual cr collective
position on the scale ? If I go to the tank with a
series ef little cheques csn I claim that I must have
gold in proportion to the aggregate, or can the
urbane teller insist on paying me each little cheque
in a little heap ? Of course if he did, I should de
posit the lot, and cheque for the total amount,
but it might cause heart t urning. Then again, it
often happens that a dealer receives a number cf
orders on one plantation agent, can the agent pay
them one at a time, and so save his gold ?
t It aeems to me that the desire of getting a larger
proportion cf gold by some better division, a combi
nation cf cheques, orders, accounts, Ac, wi'l be a
constant wrong and contusion.

thouaan-fa cf acres of oar territory, upon which in

a permanent sod, through which the bounteous

plains stripped to their rocky bones, the sarnmit wa.

And here let me say, thatthe death of the tiers
lets loose the demons cf thv winds as well as of the
floods; and the unchecked gales of these latitudes
blow Into the air, more soil than the unrestrained
waters wash away There Is a sad proof of this to be
seen at this daTruere is an iiland of this group,
whose upper or table lands were once covered with a
dense forest of small trees and shrubbery. This
maintained shade and moisture over a rich virgin
soil, whose soft herbaceous turf abounded in varieties
of the achatinclla or land snails, whose presence was
a proof of the humidity of an umbrageous and pro
ductive domain. But now there are only soma debris
of ahells to be seen. Tens of thousands of destroying
hoofs have roamed here unrestrained, the leaf and
the shade have disappeared, the tuif has been trod
den and tiiturated into powder, and then the freab
trade wind blast has swept over the open plain; aud
the poor island has lost Its covering, has lost Its soil,
torn awny to the depth of many feet, and you can
see it now any day borne away Ly the demon of deso
lation in frightful red clouds, that meet you many
leagues from the island far away at aea
Mo passes awsy the hope of Hawaii from many
parts of her once richly dowered domain. There are
some who try to check the hand of destruction, who
do more, who plant two trees where one grew Lcfore;
and others who herd and regulate their stock, so
that instead of being a curse, are productive of a
blessing to the laud. But these ate in a minority,
and the work of denudation of soil goes steadily on
ward in Hawaii.
- Therefore a patriotic government snd a patrlotio
legislature should see to this' Borne of your lost for
est and soil you could not recover in a generation.
xui au ia nut it si, aou oegin now to stop the inritier
progress of the besom of destruction. Some sneer at
the wail about loss of trees as an exploded theory, so
is I dare ssy our question of population an exploded
theory to some. And so is every generous hop qJ
purpose fur the welfare of the country; and nothing
is "practical' except office and its emolument.
But there are officials I trust, who look beyond their
pockets, who look beyond the coffers from whence
their emolument comes who look unto the hills and
their circumambient clouds, and who seeing how
beneficently and bountifully the God of Nature Las
provided for the beauty of a land and the sustenance
of man, will endeavor to prevent thoughtless men
from taming loose destruction upon a soil that
should bloom here In these sess as a paradise.
A commissioner or guardian cf forests should be
appointed and provided for, with powers as large as
such a commissioner Las in France and in other
parts cf Earope,' where you cannot cut down a tree
on your own land without permission. If such an
office were created and in efficient hands, very likely
I might be one of the first to be reprehended or
mulcted for inattention to the preservation cf foreat
and soil under my control. Let it be so; though I
might feel myself apparently pinched in my interest
in being obliged to restrict my live stock within cer
tain limits, yet at the same time I would rejoice that
the hills which I love shoal 1 ever preserve their ver
dure, that the wooded dells should continue to be
enlivened with the songs of birds, that the music of
gentle purling streams should be beard under leafy
shades, that the bounty of heaven should be regular
ly and beneficently spread over the land, so that
abundance ahonld prevail, and my fellow man should
iocrese and rejoice in these isles.

The Stamp Act.
The following is the bill providing for alamp
daties, introduced in the Assembly by the Hon. Mr.
Kaal, and which is now cn its second, reading.
It will strike readers as very thorough, and calcu
lated ta make a considerable addition to the revenue
of the government, though it may not be safe to say
that " there's millions in It." Stamp duties have
existed in Knglanl from the time of William and
Mary, and in the United Pfite since the late
civil war.
