I presume this term includes the maintenance and improvement of tbe exLstiug individuals, as well as the addition of new ones, and foreign as well as call re. I beg your leave to draw tbe public at tention to a valuable aid toward this end, for a long time past offered us by one of our citizens, an aid till lately neglected and little known, even naw Uken advantage of to a very inadequate extent. I speak of the classes for instruction in gymnastic .mim k Mr" nDerfT at the theatre. Tbe eroeral tone of "though in this place ap- pears to Lave uitnerio Deen uiue iaroraoie 10 toe systematic cultivation of physical excellence, and all that that word 'Involves. There have indeed been fitful ftDd partial attempts to provide our young men with opportunities for exercise, as at the Olympic Hall and elsewhere. No doubt the ehools are or or less provided with appliances for gamea and exercises, and in certain instances some training would seem to be given. But as lar as I am aware there has been no desire felt or at least expressed, to make such ' traioipg part of an organized system, resting upon the principle that tbe man as a whole needs to have his faculties de veloped; that to limit education to the mind, or even to the mind and morals, is to take a very fihort-sigated and imperfect view of it... To confine myself to the physical element of ed ucation. The pare&t who sends forth his son (or daughter) out into the battle of life, feeble and delicate, where such feebleaees and delicacy could have been removed by suitable training, commits A sin against his son little if at all less than if he start ed him with a neglected mental training. In these davs-wben life is so hard, competition to keen, and the survival of the fittest a generally recognized principle, every advantage tells; the strong, well knit, upright, active youth, with a healthy digestion .r ere. a clear brain and natural impulses, has a vast advantage over the stooping, feeble, flabby-musclea. rouna-aotuuerea, -ai-cuesiea, droop-Ted. dyspeptic, muddy-complexioned, pimrle-faced, shambling, flat-footed, sneaking one, with legs like broomsticks, an irritable nervous system, perverted propensities, and a generally low vitality. And this difference ie very largely detemined by the amount of physical training the person has undergone. At least it will be Been, If not ia one generation, in two or three. Parental too seldom reflect that the children of this generation are to be tbe parents of tbe next, and that it is ao slight part of their duty to 'Dt tbe present to hand on vigorously the torch of life to tbe luture. This should be a particularly serious thought for parents vrho live here. The question is by no means solved whether the white race even under the best available hygienic con ditions can, perpetuate itself, that is, to any good purpose, in this country. Certainly no one can generation growing up here, without grave mis observe much of the present younger pure-white givings. There u something about them, with not too many exeeptloB, thai a horse-breeder would call very vctedy. Now in Germany and EnglandI do not speak of America physical training is made part of the regular schooling ; it is daily becoming more and more thorough and scientific ; tbe idea of education as tbe harmonious development of tbe whole being, mental, moral and physical, is becoming increas ingly recognized. Here I dare not affirm that that idea Is not recognized. I can only say that I have seen, whether in our school systems or elsewhere, scanty evidence that it is so. Tbe subject is a great one, and grows upon mo as I write. But my fair share of space is filled, and I must stop. I earnestly trust tbat Mr. Derby will receive the support fcia earnest, patient and disinterested work deserves. I should like to sa the young men of the town largely resort to his evening classes. I hope the Board of Education will in time, as public sentiment ripens, devote some at tention to training tbe bodies as well as the minds of their charges. Ia conclosion I will only remark tbat there is c more powerful influence to restrain young people from notorious and too general bad habits thaa tbe desire of excellence in tbe public gymnasium. A Member- of thk Board op Health. THE PACIFIC Commercial bbcrttscr. SATURDAY. JAXUARY 27. His Extxi.LK.NO' the Minister of Foreign Affairs entertained tbe Diplomatic Corps and a number of official personages and their wives at a dinner on Thursday evening tbe 25th inst., at the Ha waiian Hotel. His Majesty honored tbe occasion with bis presence, as also II. R. II. Prince Leleioboku. The diplomatic representatives of the United States, England and France; His Majesty's Ministers ; the Judges of the Supreme Court ; Generals Gner, Ingalls and Meyers of the United States Army ; the Captains of the English and Russian war vessels in port, and Lieut. Commander Glass and Paymaster Harris of the U. is. Navy ; Hons. Godfrey Rhodes, President of tbe Legislative Assembly, Chas. R. Bishop and W. L. Green, were among the guests. Covers were laid for fifty-two, and tbe usual toasts and complimentary responses were made. The Band was in attendance in the Hotel yard, and discoursed appropriate music. The Chief J cstick baa requested the members of the Bar to attend at the Supreme Court Room at 12 o'clock to-day when be will take leave of them from the Bench. We presume Lis resigna tion of office will follow soon thereafter, and that this will be Lis last public act in the judicial character. He will doubtless continue in the public service of the Kingdom as its Representa tive at Washington, but as a judge and the chief of the Supreme Court, be will hereafter live only in the record be 1ms made daring tbe twenty years of his Incumbency. Until bis resignation is announced in fact, we cannot properly review at large his services to the country; bat it will be permitted as at this juncture to express tbe public sense of tbe high character he bas ever maintained for impartial justice and unvarying courtesy in the discharge of bis duties. He will always be remembered bere with most kindly feeling, and carry with him in his residence abroad the hearty good wishes of : the communi ty. He ia happy in having tbat which should accompany mature years "Honor, love,' obe dience, troops of friends." . , ; 'X '." The ruuor is current that the boats of the P. M. S. S. Company running between San Fran eisco and the Colonies of Australia will shortly ccaso to make Honolulu a port of call.' On inquiry as to the facts, we learn that the agents in San Francisco Lad received information from the President of the Company in New York, to the effect that they were advised by the Australian government that in future the calling of their ships at Honolulu would be optional with the com pany ; tbe agents at Honolulu were advised ac cordingly, and directed to ask that the ; Hawaiian " subsidy bo paid at once for the past year, if they desire the eervice continued." . - ' The history of this question of subsidy reveals tb-3 following facts : That on the first approach by the agents to this government, in November, 1875, a favorable answer was given to tbe appli cation ; that the Budget presented to the Legis lature of 187G by the Cabinet contained a dis tinct recommendation for a subsidy ; that before the close of the session the sum of $20,000 was voted as such subsidy and placed in the appro priation bill ; and that up to the time of retir ing from office, the late Cabinet continued to express the intention to execute a contract. and to pay . the subsidy. In consequence of the supposed assured favorable action of this govern ment, the San Francisco agents of the line had seriously submitted to the President of the Com pany for bis consideration, tbe changing of the present direct route from San Francisco to China via Yokohama to an entirely new line from San Francisco to Honolulu, thence to Yokohama and Hongkong ; they had also counselled the sending out to the Pacific of such steamers as would (as soon as tbe increased products of the Islands would justify tbe establishment of ft 'monthly steamer to alternate with the Australian line) be suitable to maintain a regular monthly com munication with the islands. One such steamer has probably ero this arrived at San Francisco. Under all these circumstances the Company and its agents bave very naturally been led' to expect the payment of the promised subsidy ; and on finding themselves mistaken and misled, it is quite as natural that they should feel, tbat they have been treated unfairly and disingen uously by tbe government. Without regard to the fact of a change in the Ministry, the Com pany will and do undoubtedly assume that the faith of tbe Hawaiian government was pledged by the action of the late Cabinet. On the other band, we understand that the present administration takes tbe ground that there is nothing of record with tbe government whereby it can be held to contract with the' Company or to pay for service already performed, whatever may bave been tbe verbal promises of individual members of the late government ; that they are willing however to continue the facili ties now afforded the boats of tbe line ; but tbat generally they view with disfavor the proposition to subsidize the line, unless increased facilities are afforded for communication with San Fran cusco. In: view of the order of the President of the Company as above stated, tbe ultimatum as de clared by the agents, and the attitude of this gov eminent on the question involved, it may be 6afely concluded that the steamers will be with drawn; or at least, that they will call here only at their convenience, which will be of course not our convenience in any sense. By tbe terms of the eontract with the Colonial governments the line is paid X10 for every hour less than schedule time on each trip. The estimated time that will be saved by omitting to call at Honolulu is 72 hours, both going and coming, which wilj amount to 3000 equal to 60 pa&sengsrs at $60 each. This is probably quite as much as is made by the line by calling here, both in passen, gers and freight. The statement is made on be half of tbe Company tbat by resuming tbe route as originally selected and giving these islands the "go-by," they will make no sacrifice of money; and the facts appear to bear oat this assertion. Great stress has been laid upon the fact that wo already give to this line a considerable subsidy in the shape of free wharfage, storage etc.; but we are apt to forget tbat these ships are specially exempted from paying the usual harbor dues, under the provisions of the treaty of 1340. It is true that these exemptions amount to quite a sum per annum, but in re capitulating them we are perhaps unconsciously regarding the sum total as so much money ex pended, whereas if the steamers shall cease com ing the suspension of the free list in their case will not leave the Treasury any the richer. The question with us appears to be this.- Is it worth $1000 a month to the country to secure the continuance of the line and the friendship and good-will of tbjjj wealthy company ; and is it wise to reject that proffered friendship and good will, that promises to give in tbe future all the increased facilities, of the lack of which we now j complain? I "Savk the pennies, and the pounds will take care or themselves," is an oil taw, whoe teeth have been filed by almoet every grandmother in tbe hearing of every little one tbat nct!ei in tbe good old lady's lap clutching tightly in its fat hand the penny presented to it and arguing the purchase of evrr o many candies and cakes. "Save the pennies," say we also, looking at our readers through our grandmotherly spectacles; the dollars will take care of themselves. We refer to tbe pennies and dollars which a kind Providence Las pot within our reach in the mainfold resources of these islands. Dollars in sugar and rice and wool, are so plainly ia view, that almost every one who thinks of going into an agricultural pursuit looks forward to the accumulation of sugar by the hundreds of tons, and commence to sew his moneybags with double thread, never once looking at the pennie that glisten neglected and unnoticed in the dirt by the wayside, but which if gathered would soon grow into dollars. Our islands are rich in resources that Lave Iain for years neglected, while sugar alone has ridden on the topmost wave of Hawaiian pro gress. For tbe present we will mention but one out of many articles, the growth and export of which is ere-long destined to figure among our industries. We can scarcely travel a mile on any country road on these islands, be it on a mountain side, through a valley, over a plain, or a lava flow, or cross fertile lands, without meeting in some waste place, in some hollow or on some stooe-beap with the castor oil plant, (Ricinus communis, or Pahna Christi) growing luxuri antly. In other countries, where the Palma Cbristi is an annual, it is cultivated with much labor but with good profit; bere, a genial climate has made tbe plant perennial, yielding its seed abundantly and without cultivation twice a year but we suffer it to rot on the ground. A few years ago, our townsman Mr. G. C. McLean, imported machinery and a hydraulic press for the manufacture of castor oil, pur chasing the seed from tbe natives, at $3 per hundred pounds. A superior lubricating oil was made, which was used to advantage on the engine of the steamer Kilauea and elsewhere. But ns a remarkable sign of the times, we learn tbat latterly neither natives nor Chinese con be found to" gather the seed at that price a crop that has cost them nothing to cultivate and only requires the trouble of gathering and the manu facture is brought to a stand still. Can any one point to another spot on the civilized globe where the poor people are bo independent as here? They can reap where they have not sown, but in truth they are too indolent to do so. In some localities where the plants are scarce, the work. of gathering will of course be slow, but where plants aro plentiful as is often the case, the gathering of a. hundred weight in a day should be an easy task. - By exposing the capsules a few hours to tbe sun they open, and the only labor remaining is to put the beans into bags. Tbe local demand would no doubt be sooa supplied, were any enterprising persons to make a business of raising castor beans; but ths market of San Francisco is open, where they are quoted scarco at $3, and they would go in duty free. . A whiter on Physical Education in to-day's paper makes some very sound observations and pertinent suggestions as to the needs in this par ticular of tbe male portion of tbe rising genera tion, and gives a passing hint to the effect that the girls should not be neglected. Certainly it will be acknowledged as of the first importance that tbe physique of tbe future mothers of Ha waii should be looked after, as well as that of the other sex. During the year just past, we have heard more than usual complaints of the excessive beat, and if we are to credit some of our prophets, we may expect another hot summer this year. Heat creates latitude, exercises upon tbe body an en ervating influence, softening the muscles and affecting the freshness and vigor of ' tbe mind Let anyone follow the bent of inclination under the influence of tbe heat of the weather, and they will soon adopt the regular midday siesta, with its Beemingly refreshing but in reality still more enervating sleep, and thus in giving way to the beckonings of seeming comfort, they become still more uncomfortable. In the older countries of the world as Eng land and Germany the sun during the summer months sends its rays down as fiercely and more vertically than on these islands ; but where can be found healthier looking ladies, with cheeks whose bloom vies with the rose or peach, than in England, Ireland - or Germany? The secret of their toilet is exercise. It is a well-known fact that English ladies devote daily some hours to physical exercise, of which pedestrianism is tbe principal. , Many a country lane, when tbe hawthorn is in bloom, is enlivened by the pre sence of fair pedestrians taking long walks for health's sake " constitutionals " returning home with sparkling eyes and glowing cheeks. Xife in the tropics, as most people live, fades tbe cheek and insidiously saps tbe springs ; of health,' cheerfulness and life. No cosmetic can restore to the outward person- what the springs of life have lost within. Health will be secured, beauty enhanced, ennui and languor banished and cheerfulness and content bless the mind, if our Hawaiian young ladies will make it a rule of their lives to take pedestrian exercise ; not for a few steps or a neighborly call, but for two or three miles of vigorous walking. Our mornings are generally beautiful (and so are our evenings) with cool and .invigorating airs. At this season particularily is the time to lay up an amount of strepgth to meet the coming heats of summer by walks up the vallty or along the sea shore. Those who may have the nerve to for sake the warm couch for a brisk tramp at day break will need no cosmetics for their cheeks or sauces to stimulate an appetite for breakfast. About Immigration. M. Editor : A correspondent of the Apter txseb, whose letter appears in jour issue of the 20th insL, and who speaks as a partisan of the gorernment on the subject of immigration, sajs; ' the present Ministry has turned the tables so quick!, so adroitly npon tbe gentlemen memori alists, and so unexpectedly, that it must take the country by surprise. The Ministry hare cut the gordian knot about which administrations, news papers and adrisers of all classes have bungled for some two or three years," &c. Now I must pre sume that the " memorialists" mentioned in this connection are the signers of s certain notable address to His Majesty cn the subject of immigra tion; and as the three "foreign" Ministers of the present Cabinet signed, and as one was on the Com. mittee to draft the address, these gentlemen have evidently, according to this writer, turned the tablas npon themselves, to an extent that mast take the country by surprise. They cannot indeed awake a any surprise by inviting landowners to offer induce ments to intending immigrants; because such a purpose was fully set forth in an address issued by the Executive Committee of the Immigration Society, some three years ago, in which the following en quiries, along with many others were propounded to planters and other landowners. Please state if you have lands to offer to be worked on shares, acd upon what terms T Will yon make necessary advances j to laborers williog to work on shares? Does yonr i neighborhood effer any especial opportunity wherein to ajractag to develop tbe resources of the counts au J attract immigration ?" Now thesu and ether forty-eeven eqaally pertinent enquiries, issued in a circular called forth a very general rponse, em bracing much varied and valuable information, which was embodied ia a report published in Joly, 1874. In this document, at page 15 tie following remarks are made, " as set forth in th4 numerous reports (or replies to enquiries) that the Secretary cf tie Society has received, many planter! aal other Landholders are ready to offer land on shares, and would afford to satisfactory immigrant! an oppor tanity to establish themselves and secure a cocaforta bU home without any immediate outlay oa their part." In this report farthermore, nt only the opportunities for favorable settlement, but all the virions cultures is adapted to this country were f j'Jy set forth; an 4 I may say that the information was sufficiently p-eeise to warrant the government at that time, or subsequently, to take action in this ruttter without farther enquiry. But let me add bat whilst the enquiries of the Immigration Sociey had reference to information bearing upon the plan of settlement in this country of a class of immig-ants, such as " made the United States prosperous, and whose presence might " im prove the country socially " as well as " add to the Tklueof estates," yet it had also in view the immi gration of races with which the indigenous and nu merically and politically superior race of the archi pelago might associate and amalgamate. And it also kept steadily ia view the lamentable fact of the serious disproportitn of the sexes among the people of these islands, aid urged that in order to equalize this disproportion among a people of apparent Asiatic origin, that it was desirable and no doubt necessary to seek fr needed recruits of people, especially females, among Asiatic stocks. No thinking man resident a this kingdom can doubt the importance of raakiig efforts, such as have been made by the collection and presentation of information, to induce industrbus and worthy families with small means to l:ave Etrope or America in order to help the ad vancement of these islands, and obtain for them s:lves healthful homesteads and a competence. But i; also aust be borne in mind that there ia a Ilawai inn peple whose spirit of race and whose tastes must Ve consulted. It is true they are weak and would m if alone, almost helpless in the march of civilization. Yet after all it is mainly by their sweat and tdl, and of such as they are that this realm Is sustaned, and has aa export and a revenue which comnand consideration abroad. Therefore whilst a Boa-d of Immigration endeavor to induce to come and to bring here husbandmen and artisans to strengthen and advance the important European eoloay in these isles, yet they must sot neglect the requirements of the native population. Pablio men of Hawaii will be hdd to account by the enlighten ment of the world in this matter; and I will say moreover, that whilst efforts in the way of material progress and the settlement of tbe European in the Pacific will receive a proper meed of praise; yet no success of enhanced estates and of increased export, and no trophies of material prosperity will condone for the neglect of all proper means for the preserva tion and increase of the Polynesian race and indi genous masters of tiis archipelago.
