Arrival of Stm Franciscan Sisters.
Ey the steamship Mariposa neven Sisters of
Charity arrived, for the purpose of attending to
the sick poor of the islands. Bis Majesty very
considerately placed several of his carriages at
their dispoftl. Owing to the illness of her sister,
Governess Kekaulike. Her Majesty was nnable to
attend in person for the purpose of receiving the
ladies, but she deputed Mrs. Beckley, her chief
lady in waiting, to do the honors. On landing, the
Sisters were driven np to the Roman Catholic
Church, where they were received by the Bishop
of Olba in a few words of cordial welcome.
Within the sacred edifice the T Deum was cele
brated. After tae service, the ladies were pre
sented to the Sisters of the 3acred Heart, with
whom they will remain for two or three days.
Meanwhile a house on King street is being pre
pared for their temporary residence nntil the
house at the hospital is finished. These good
Sisters, of whom there are twelve in all, will
divide themselves into four districts, viz : Hono
lulu, Wailnku, Hilo and Molokai. We welcome
the Sisters with a warm Aloha, and feel sure that
the good work they are about to engage in will
elicit for them an universal welcome by everyone
in the Kingdom.
Hawaiians can do something bettor than soma
other folks. Here is what the San Francisco Wasp
has been goaded by circumstances into saying
about the Reformatory school of its own city.
"The Industrial School might advantageously be
burned, and such inmates as should escape roast
ing be relegated to the position of outmates forever
and ever, world without end. There is always
trouble at the Industrial School; always the man
agement is under fire. In the various annual and
semi-annual investigations there has been enough
of neriury committed to damn the souls of ten
thousand professional witnesses black and blue
The school is a distributing center of lies, theft,
cruel tv. nameless abomination and unassorted
crime. For every worthless young hoodlum re
claimed there have been a hundred deserving
adnlts corrupted. The institution is a source of
appalling expense; by the system of industrial
schooling it costs a matter of twenty thousand dol
lars to reform a young thief and prepare him for
the duties and responsibilities of a life of forgery
This is too much; the self-made forger is almost as
efficient, and him we have always with us in quan
tity. The Industrial School is always under the
wheels of municipal government; the Supervisors
are kept so busy complicating its various entangle
ments that they have hardly the time to rifle the
public treasury. Let the Industrial School be
burned and turn the young rascals out. air.
Walter IXill can show this irate editor a contrast to
the institution which has raised his wrath.
The Planters' Monthly for November is to hand,
and is unusually bulky. It contains the minutes
of the annual meeting of Planters Labor and Sup
ply Company, also the reports of the several com
mittees in connectioa therewith. A statement
shewing the ownership of Hawaiian sugar planta
tion, very clearly refutes tho statement contained
in Commissioner Searle'a report with regard to
nationalities interested in the sugar production of
this Kingdom. This valuable table was prepared
by the Hon. J. S. Walker, Auditor General, and
"may be relied upon as correct and truthful, so far
as such statistics can be made." The estimated
total value of the sagar interests is $15,886,800 of
which the Americans control $10,180,464. This
number of the Monthly will bo a valuable one fr
reference.
Mr. J. K. Forter has brought down with him six
teen horsrs, including some fast trotters for which
he wants bis prices. Among the lot are some good
saddle horses, lit to carry a lady, one of them being
described by t he importr-r as a " gilt-edged " ani
mal. With the horses came four mules and a fine
shorthorn bull whroe dam cost a thousand dollars.
When these animals have recovered from their
voyage they will be in tbe market, except the bnll
which was imported to order and goes to Mam.
A contemporary contains a table which
professes to show tbe valuations and taxation in
the district of Honolulu for the year ending 30th
June, 1833. Owing to a gross mistake in the fig
ures presented, we have been requested to notice
the same. School tax is valued at $116,412 54.
Probably a leading article in next week's issue by
our neighboring statistician will explain to the
public where these figures are taken from.

Major Wodehou8eH. B. IL's Commissioner,
held an enquiry on Monday last into the case of
homicide which occurred on board the S. b.
Bell Rock daring her voyage to this port.
Captain II. W. Mist and Hon. A. S. Cleghorn
were associated with the Commissioner as
Assessors. Reporters were not admitted, it
being held by the Commissioner that the en
quiry was a private one. The circumstances of
the homicide appears to be as follows : One of
the immigrants' cooks, a native of the Phil
lipine Islands, wa3 addicted to drink, and was
very crazy when in his cups. , He had threat
ened several times to have the life of some
Englishman before the voyage ended. On the
day of the shooting he was very drunk, and
threatened to put a knife into somebody. This
being reported to the Captain, the latter or
dered the chief officer to pnt him in irons.
When the chief officer found him he was in a
narrow compartment off the passage which runs
by the engine-room a place through, which the
ashes are passed overboard. These who have
been aboard the ship will understand how con
fined was the space in which the encounter
happened. The chief officer asked the
man for his knife and as he denied having one
proceeded to search him. As the mate stooped
to search the man's body the latter slipped the
knife from his sleeve and attempted to strike,
whereupon the mate seized his hand and having
a pistol in his right hand fired at his assailant.
The shot entered the man's forehead killing him
instantly. These and other details of the case
were testified to by nine witnesses, among whom
whom wus Mr. A. HoS'nung, who was close by
at the time. The Court after considering the ev
idence, decided that the Chief Officer was not to
bluwe.uud returned him his certificate, which is
of a master's grade.

across the ditch dug by the defendants to prevent

Wy the arrival of the Mariposa we learn of the
sudden death of Mr. Charles L. Richards, who
was the founder of the business in this city now
carried on by Messrs. A. W. Peirce St Co. For
nearly twenty years past Mr. Richards has been
a resident in Norwich, Connecticut. He died
rather suddenly at a late hour on Sunday, 21st
October, from the effects of an accidental injury
sustained so far back as the full of 1879. The
Bulletin, a newspaper, says of him:. " Charles
It. Richards was born in Waterford, August 23d,
1830. In 1860 he went to California and thence
to the Sandwich Islands, where he did a success
ful business as a ship chandler. He was engaged
in business at the Sandwich Islands for a dozen
years and was part owner in several whaling ves
sels. During the war he suffered some losses
from the seizure of his vessels and still has an
unsettled claim of $25,000 or more against the
government for a whale ship impressed into the
service of the government during the rebellion,
to return the sailors of the whaling fleet destroy
ed by the Confederate war-ship Shenendoah, to
their homes. During Mr. Richards' residence
in the Sandwich Islands 1.. " firae the intimate
friend of King Kalakauu .. . companied him
on many excursions. He icturued in 1864 and
settled in Norwich. In 167 he returned to the
Sandwich islands anu seiuea up uis Dusiness ai- j

fairs then returning to Norwich iu 1868 and set
tling here permanently. The same year he mar
ried Miss Ada Pollard of this place, who, with
six children four sons and two daughters still
survive him. Mr. Richards personally was a
gentleman of exact habits, fine feelings and
agreeable social qualities. He made a wide cir
cle of friend who will sympathize with his fam
ily and sincerely mourn his death." There are
many here who knew him who will f el keen
sympathy with his family.
Messrs. Wm. G. Irwin & Co. imported per Con
suelo, twenty head of carriage, saddle and trotting

his reputation on these islands as a first-class
judge of horseflesh. . The animals were lan ded in
first-rate condition and during the week they have
totally recovered from the depressing effects of a
sea voyage. They are for sale, and the early appli
cants will, of course, have their pick of the lot.

missioner too was busily engaged. The Inspector-
General of immigrants Hon. A. S. Cleghorn has
also been repeatedly looking after his new charges
from the time of the ship's anchoring inside the
harbor. If some of the detractors of the country
could see the attention paid to immigrants whn
they arrive here, albeit they be but laboriug men
and women, their mouths would surely be shut.
The wharves presented an animated appearance
last Tuesday afternoon. Theiuter-island departures
comprised the steamers Likelike, Lehua, Kilauea
Hon, Mokolie and Iwalani, each carrying a larga
living freight. A few minutes after 4 o'clock the
S. S. Planter entered the channel on
her first return trip to windward. Owing to
Captain Bates having te give way to the outgoing
steamers he had a little difficulty to ontetid with
in getting alongside the wharf.
The S. S. Plauter reports that on the upward
trip she arrived at Maalaea Bay at twenty min
utes to two o'clock on the morning after leaving
this port, two hours and forty minutes before the
Likelike. On the return trip she made the pas
sago from Maalaea Bay to Honolulu in seven hours
and forty niinutes. Captain Bates feels highly
pleased with his new command, though she is
hardly so handy as the Iwalani.

The whaler Sophia Johnson arrived in San Fran
cisco on the 28th October, but brought no oil and
no news. The San Francisco Bulletin says " In con
trast with the luck of the Arctic fleet is that of the
little schooner Clara Light, owned by Charles Sca
ly, No 13 Mission street. The Arctic whalers have
seen few whales and the catch has been'execeding
ly light. At the time the Page and Sophia John
son left, none of the ileet remaining had any whales
but the Clara Light sailed from San Francisco on
August 11th, ran on a rock and was brought
in and repaired, and again sailed September 7th.
In sixteen days she had secured six whales. She
cruised about within a radius of fifteen miles from
the Farallones, but the weather was so foggy that
her catch up to daio was not so great as expected.
She got in all nine whales and 300 barrels of oil.
The whales are of the humpback variety and yield
a good oil but no bone. Mr. Sealy has three whal
ing stations on the Southern coast, and the year
before last he got over 2,000 barrels of oil." The
Arctic fleet this year consists of thirty-nine vessels
of which two have been lost. . The Europa, which
has been here and sailed again, the Rainbow about
due here now, and thirty-five vessels due in San
Franciscoduring the present an J ensuing months.
The short supply of whale oil in San Francisco, the
reports of the poor catch up to July 20th, and the
delay in the arrivals of the vessels, all add interest
to the situation. There is very little whale oil,
and most of the stock is in the hands of a single

The Alia California comments on the opium
seizure on board the Mariposa last trip. It says:
"The Court found itself in a quandary over the
questions presented, as the laws of the Kanaka
Kingdom requiro the master of a vessel to be noti
fied by the customs officers when a search is to be
made, but no notice was given in this instance,
and the master and agents were in nowise to
blame for what occurred. Again, the Court an
nounced that it found itself in a dilemma as to
whether the laws of the Kingdom applied to Amer
ican r. vessels, and it doubted the propriety of
searching the steamers of the Pacific Mail and
Spreckels lines, which passed through Honolulu
only in transit. It considered the question an in
ternational one, best adapted for settlement byjthe
two nations.

Mb. Editor : On reading in the late papers of
the continuance of the earthquakes in the eastern
hemisphere, it loads me to think what is the
cause of this unusual disturbance ? On our planet
it seems that the whole globe is in a tremor. As
far as we now know, there has been from the most
terrific convulsions to a slight tremble. Now, as
to what is the cause, we can only coujuctiuc. Is
the earth overcharged with electricity or not
enough? for nature is always strutting for an
equilibrium, and this globe of- ours is now in a
eonvulsion to restore that which it has lost, or to
get rid of an overload? Whichever it may le,
there is a disturbing element somewhere.
In this paper it is proposed to propound a causa.
The first noted disturbance commenced in the
latter part of 1876 ou the near approach of Mars to
its perihelion passage in August, 1K77, whon all
the fluid elements of this glolto were disturbed.
Our streams pulled away from their natural
ourses, for when Mars was at its nearest point to
the earth the planet Jupiter and Saturn were lend;
ing a helping hand, for in two years they were in
conjunction, and there was also the grand con
junction of some of the outer planets. Home hun
dreds of writers said it would be the end of all
things. That did not come off as predicted, and
that part of the programme it finished. We will
see what can be done to give a reasons for the
present disturbance which certainly Is of electric
origin. The preceding ones were of gravitation.)
Did the comet of last year only charge our globe
with electricity which it is now struggling to get rid
of? It seems reasonable to think so. Or did it extract
from us enough to cause these convulsions, and is
the earth now struggling to regain from the sun
what th6 comet took on its long, and to us, myste
rious journey ? '
If the earth is overcharged with electricity she
is now sending it back from whence it came. These
earthquakec will contino nntil an equilibrium
is established and then all will be in a state of rest
nntil the mechanism of our system is i lightly de
ranged, and then what we see now will be repeated
as has beon for millions of yean. Gravitation and
electricity are the two equal forces that govern the
Universe. With theso rambling remarks
I remain yons,
Walteb Edmund Woon.
