On the contrary. Its component parts comprise a beverage which I have never seen equaled for its anti-billious, topic and invigorating properties.

The next arrival will doubtless bring impor tant news from tbe war. A Good Chop. The crop of the Kohala PifuUa. tion, now more than two thirds off, is estimated at 1603 tons. A vexa is the pretty name of a delicious prepa ration of hulled oats, sent us by iriel llusb, grocers, and which, with milk at breakfast excels anything of the sort yet seen.

Balaam's Kind. By the D. C. Murray frojb San Francisco, arrived two Gne Kentucky jack, said to have cost $H00, imported for breeding noses. Mules will soon Euperseae oxen as arait animals on all our plantations.

Molokai. Cant. Fountain left at our some specimen stalks of cane from the plantation of Mr. McColgan, which were eleven months old and measured 10 to 12 feet in length. We are glad to learn that the prospects of eane growers on Molokai are quite flattering.

A Result. Following tbe successful introduction of water at Haiku, East Maui, we learn tbattbe proprietors have ordered the construction of a-nen sugar mill at the Honolulu Iron Works, of quite large a capacity as any now on these isiands. They expect a first crop of at least IGOO tons from the proposed new plantation. A Valuable Pckchase. During the past week Messrs.

E. P. Adams and J. Ross effected the pur chase of 3000 acres of fine cane land at Kileuea, Kauai, part of the estate of Charles Titcomb, "Esq. The day following the purchase the sum of $20,000 was offered for the bargain and refused.

We leain that the enterprising proprietors will inaugurate the new plantation without delay. Departure Delated. The Chinaman reported by the Gazelle as having spiritually taken his departure for the Flowery Land by cutting his throat with an axe is still here. Apparently through inexperience in the business he only cut himself skin deep. But he is really a leper and will be sent to Molokai, where he may perhaps be more success ful in endeavoring to shuffle off the mortal coil.

One of our resident clergymen, RevMr. Mackintosh, of the Episcopalian chnrcb, baring obtained three months leave of absence from the Lord Bishop, is gone, with his helpmeet, on a visit to Vancouver's Island and British Columbia. Possibly, the Rev. gentleman may make some notes of his travels, which would be likely to prove very interesting to the publio of Hawaii nei. Rais on Maui.

An East Maul letter of the 4th says It commenced raining yesterday afternoon, and continued raining and pouring until nearly daylight this morning. I believe it is customary for it to rain on the 4th of July, and if I did not think some old centennial parchment would consider it personal 1 would say it was a reizn tnat created tne ua or Jaiy, ana msae it what it is' The day we celebrate." Amusements- The circus on Satqrday last at tracted as usual a full audience. To-night' the whole company will appear in some of their most astonishing acts, such as for the first time here the double summersault, and acrobats of the first class, by Ay mar and Mendoza. In fact the performance promise to be a very interesting one. At tse Royal Hawaiian Theatre, the "Anglo- American Constellation" continues to delight the audiences.

Harry and Lizzie Braham are always producing some new and beautiful songs and character impersonations, and the Buffalo Boys who by tne way are snortiy to leave move the risibilities of every body, with Irish, Dutch and. Negro extravaganzas. An excellent bill to-qight. The store of the strong man Samson taking the honey-comb out of the dead lion's mouth, and afterward with reference to it, to the Philistines his famous riddle Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness" has been recalled to us by a recent discovery of a bee's nest in a place where it might be thought as little likely to be found as in a dead lion's mouth. In making some repairs in the interior of the church of Kawaiahao a day or two ago, it was discovered that a swarm of bees had made their nest under the gallery of the church, where they had penetrated through chinks in the boarding of the ceiling.

A honey-comb, containing quite a large quantity of the mellifluous liquor, was shown to the Editor or tins journal by tne ttev. air. mar ker, the Pastor of tbe church. Whether Queen Bee. and her busy workers, were attracted to make their nest in Kawaiahao church by the honied words of the eloquent preacher, and those choice flowers of oratory which issue from his inspired lips in the beautiful language of Hawaii nei at the church services, is a matter best known to Her Mellifluous Majesty and her suite.

Ia some countries there is a popular notion that the finding of a bee's nest prognosticates an increase te the family of the finder. A Submarine Excursion. One day dqrlng tbe past week we had a noTel experience, having descended about four fathoms through "the salt sea waves to near tbe bottom of Honolulu harbor, and after remaining there some moments, arrived again at the surface all right and none the worse for the excursion. No, we did'nt fall overboard we simply went down by ladder into the hnee box attached by Tibbitts and borenson, fihinwriebts, to tbe stern of tbe ship Fleetford, tor tbe purpose of repairing ber keel and eternpost, injured by touching on tbe reef at one of tbe sruano islands. Tbe box is a big thing," most substantially built, and In plan and application disnlavs no small degree of mechanical skill and ingenuity.

Tbe ship is mors than half loaded, and tbe strain on tbe box to lift ber stern some two feel must bo tremendous. Twenty three feet from tbe surface of tbe water we placed our hand under the keel of tbe huge ship, while the car- tenters were doing their work as well and secure-y as though she were in a dry dock. JJut for the ingenious contrivance of tbe box it would be necessary in order to properly repair this ship, to discbarge her cargo and heave ber out, involv ing much expense and delay. As it is she will be ready during the coming week to proceed on her voyage. Odd FEixows.At a regular meeting of Harmony Lodge No.

Continuation or Kixo street. A petition, extensively signed by tax-payers of this district, was reoently presented to the Minister of the Interior, askiog that King-Street be continued out to Ka-piolani Park. Accordingly a jury of six was selected, who on the 9th instant made a written report to the Minister, in which they give it as their opinion that the proposed new road is not advisable, on the ground of expense, ana recommenaing mat instead thereof. Beretania Street be continued out in the direction of the telegraph station and so on makai to the Park.

We do not learn that the jury gave any data oa which they based their opinion of the expense of tbe proposed road against which tbey report but we have heard from parties professing to be acquainted with the Beretania Street route, that the expense of making decent carriage road in that direction would be large. We suggest that the question might be advantageously discussed in print. Corrections. Mr. Editor: The Gazette ot this week, ppeaking of tbe celebration of tbe 4th in Honolulu says At noon a national salute of twenty-one guns was fired from Punchbowl Battery." Tbe salute was not fired from Punchbowl, but from a park of artillery at the head of Emma street.

Again At 4.30 p. m. Mr. Berger gave a concert at Emma Square," Mr. Berger and bis band were employed to play in honor of tbe day, and paid out of a fund subscribed for tbe occasion by Ameri can citirena, from which fund also was defrayed the cost of tiring tbe salute at noon.

Yours, Ac, American. To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser: Sia I beg leave through your columns to make a suggestion respecting tne customary Saturday afternoon concert of the band, namely, that instead of the hour of half-past four, they plsy at about 6 o'clock. It would be a great pleasure to many of us mechanics to near lierger and his well-trained hands-men, sitting with our families in the pleasant shade of Emma Place, but it is obvious that. "leaving oil work at four o'clock, we cannot close up at the snop, get nome ana make ourselves tidy and comfortably get to the square in season. I think, too, that the change above proposed would meet with favor from the people who dine between four and five, and who find it too early for dinner before the concert and too late after it.

Besides, would it not be pleasanter for every one to hear muaio when the sun is lower and the coolness of evening comes in, say at an hour to close just before dark I Honolulu, July yth. mechanic. Makawao, July 7th, 1877. To the Editor of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser Dear Sir In your issue of the 23d ult, I think injustice is done to both mill-owners and producers of cane in your remarks on the Co-operative system," in regard to weighing the cane as it comes to the mill, and thus relieve the cane grower from all unpleasant suspicion of being cheated." Now, Dear Sir, I am a cane grower on a small scale, and I believe the only one in this district, and it has been hinted that I was the originator of the above idea, which (while I am glad to see anything in regard to tbe cultivation of cane freely discussed in the publio journals) is the reason for my criticizing those remarks. I contend that tbe simple use of tbe word cheat ed or suspicion of being cheated'" is calculated to destroy confidence between the grower and mill- owner.

If a party thinks he will not be fairly dealt with he had better take his pigs to another market." Your plan would no doubt tbe only proper one, in the ease of many persons living near a mill, and planting a few hills of cane that tbey wished to dis pose of for cash, or exchange for sugar but a per son having one or two hundred acres of cane to grind would be very apt to have his suspicions aroused if he knew every load of bis crop had to be driven on the scales and weighed, and the weight of the cart deducted from it. As it is now, the only parties in terested are the mill-owner, the cane grower and the sugar boiler. The cane is cut and taken to the mill nnder the supervision of the grower (and perhaps tbe owner), to see that it is properly and economically done, and that is tbe last that either of those parties see of it until it is manufactured into sugar, packed in containers and weighed by the sugar boiler. It is the sugar boiler's interest, lor bis own reputation, to Eroduce all the sugar he can from the juice; but it i neither his or his employer's interest to mark 100 lbs on a keg that contains 150 lbs of sugar, for tbe cane grower will perhaps never touoh ons pound of it, but merely settle his interest with the mill-owner by the sugar boiler's figures. In conclusion, I beg to rise and explain that the weighing system is not to the interest of the UAKE-GBOWER.

The remark of our correspondent that "Your (our) plan would no doubt be the only proper one in the case of many persons living near a mill and planting a few hills of cane, that they wish to dispose of for cash or exchange for sugar "covers all we hare to say on the subject, and all we Intended to convey.

Williams, Esq, Messrs. nimA.J Ti.lni ,1 .1 L. of tbe Mail Company, besides a number of invited guests, including ladies,) left tbe wharf of tbe Company to assist at tbe launch of tbe steamer just built by tbe Risdon Iron Works for tbe Ha waiian government. Arriving at tbe scene of tbe launcn at p. tbe carpenters were found to be busy wedging up and splitting out tbe blocks upon which tbe beautiful vessel rested.

Tbe moon being obscured by clouds, we could not see the first movements very distinctly, but it was Heht enough at 8:40 r. m. to see her sliding gracefully from the ways, though there was not sufficient water to float ber and she struck in tbe mud after reaching ber length. The Millon Griffith being bailed from the steamer, was requested to give them a hawser, and tbe directors of tbe excursion, recognizing tbat tbe pleasure of tbe party would be enhanced by making the tug of service, promptly responded and successfully towed tbe steamer afloat, where she rode the water as placidly as If tbat element bad always been her surroundings. After performing such opportune service the Milton Griffith steamed back to her wharf, and the wbole company were invited to the P.

M. S. S. offices, where a fine lunch was spread, end the night trip on tbe bsy having sharpened the appetites, all did justice to tbe spread, drinking, in sparkling champagne, earnest wishes for a brilliant future for tbe new vesseL 22. THE MAUI DITCH.

Our Makawao friends are justljr prWid I their new irrigation works, the completion of which, celebrated quite appropriately on the 4th inst. mark" new era in Island agriculture. For with the assured success of the big ditch on Maui, wo may confidently expect In the near future the commencement of similar enterprise" in various parts of the Inlands, whereby the wealth of water now running to waste shall be mado to largely contribute to lite national prosperity. The writer of this paragraph may per bups be pardoned for remembering at this lime, that 'in rears past and particularly to be strongly urged in tbeee column the plan ot bringing the wateri of East Maul on'io the Makawao tide, at a time too when Sigh official of the government estimated the cost at an enormous mm, and people general I looked npon tbe idea as quite otopian. But we hope and expect to see, within few rears, the completion of irrigation works on a large scale on all the islands of this group.

Tbe construction of such works by government aid would be a species of public improvement the wisdom of which would require no defense. A correspondent at Makawao, writing on tbe 4th inst. says: The great display of tbe day was at Haiku, where several hundred Natives and Foreigners assembled to celebrate the completion of the bio ditch, and to see fur themselves, tbe water from tbe mountain gushing through great Iron pipes, emptyiug itself into tbe ditch, and rolllnsj on to tbe valley, and spreading over tho cane Of Ids, making tbe earth glad with Us presence. The motto, am as a hows akd water rcks," was painted on canvas stretched asross the principal avenue flags were flying apparently (rum every bush, tbe Wailuku brass band was in attendance and discoursed screech music. Too much credit cannot be bestowed on Messrs.

Tbe Court affirmed the judgment ot the lower Court, and on the question as to whether tbe contracts were in proper form, tbe Court said, it bad been decided that there was no law that made it necessary to deliver a copy to tbe servant. By the stamp aot of 1871 It would aeem to be Implied that two contracts were Intended, but these contracts were made before tbatlaw was passed. Tbe law of fcG8 made It obligatory that tbe contracts should be In both tbe native and English languages, and these contracts were so made out, and one being executed legally was sufficient. These men bad signed the contract as tbey had admitted. Now if their employers should wllb-bold their pay for a year, bow would tbey like thatf would tbey ntt say the foreigner had cheated tbemT Tbe obligation of tbe planter to pay under the contrast la not stronger tban Is theirs to work.

If they are misused in any way, tbe Supreme Court would never turn a.deaf ear to their complaints but after having worked a year, tbey come here and say tbat tbey ought not to wotk because tbeir contracts were only signed In one placet The Court cannot listen to such appeals. Thae men knew tbey bad signed tbe contract la both languages, and tbey roust go back to their employment Mr. Unauua for appellants. Mr. C.

Brown contra. Mr. Editor: Doubtless you did not design, la your last luue, to misrepresent tbe remarks made at a recent temperance meeting. And yet no misrepresentation could be much greater. There was no denouncing the drunkard and threatening him with tbe wrath of God by any of tho speakers.

There was no anathema pronounced on tbose who make a moderate use of intoxicating drinks." There was not the remotent Intimation or an allusion to the "cutting Hem off from salvation In consequence." There was no allusion whatever, even remotely made to any "judgement of eternal on any class of persons, much less on those who conscientiously Dcuev. mat iney may partake oi wine and other Intoxicating drinks." Tbr was no ''with holding tbe hope or salvation from such christians." Nor was it even implied tbat tbe habitual wine drinker could not be a christian" I certainly have never known a person who entertained any such views. To me tbey would be shocking. How then did you make your mistake What was said, and what I presume you bad mind was simply this. That to the speaker personally, tbe christian (In view of Lis tnluence) who indulges in the social habit ol wine drinking was not acting in that self denying love to others, which Christ in all his lUe exhibited.

He was doing that which he could not do without reasoning selfishly. He was doing a wrong and unworthy thing In view of present light. He was not standing up In bis truest manhood, and in 1 these senses be was doing an unchristian thing. If, Mr. Editor, to do an unchristian thing dooms a man or makes him not a christian, then we all are doomed and none of us are christians.

We all do sin, all do unchristian things, and need forgiveness. Social wine drinking as It seosaa to me in view of the many who fall in consequence of It, and In view of all tbat follows from it is harmful, and Is unchristian both In spirit and Influence. Tbe matter of salvation I always leave God. I believe tbat very many who do what in my judgement are wrong and unchristian things will be saved. But no enlightened christian should persevere in a practice from which barm and sorrows come ta humanity.

Hoping tbat you will make this correction not for my sake but for the sake of the cause. 1 am yours truly. W. Fee a a. It will perhaps be a balm to the troubled consciences of some of the Reverend rentlcman'a congregation and others, who drink "a glass in moderation," to read Lis own explanation tbat be did not intend to consign tbsm to eternal doom in consequence, whatever he may have said npon the subject cf total abstinence.

Oar remarks were called forth by expressions of dissatisfaction which reached ns from persons who drink In moderation, at what tbey understood to be tbe purport of the Reverend gentleman's discourse, and it must be satisfactory to him to have Lad an opportunity of removing tbose mistaken lmprssK sions from the alarmed eonsisnoes of soma el Lit bearers.

Mr. Editor: As an employer native labor, I should feel obliged If yuu would give a little space in your valuable paper regarding the work ing or me snipping laws, as administered In the outlying districts en the Island of Oahu. In tbe first place, when a person engages te work tor months, lor a year for instance, the stamp duty Is at once brought Into play, and kl 00 goes to tbe government and $1,00 to a notary for acknowledging tbe contract, in all fS.OO. Then If tbe person so enraged begins te be indifferent about working, and you try to enforce the contract, down comes 83.0o more for a warrant, and an airing ol 24 mile on borae to obtain tbe same. When convenient the judge tries tbe case, with tbe sheriff acting as attorney for tbe defendant cf course such counsel must prevail, for tbe case Is dismissed.

In five months hence the Circuit Judge, will be round, but la tbe mean-time the defendant will have an opportunity to ship and perhaps take a trip up North. Now since this sort of liing brings a tolerable revenue, would like to ask most respectfully what part tbe government plays, besides lakisg tbe money, and whether plain matter ol fact directions ought not to be furnished ta tbose iudgn who do not pretend to be lawyers, so that at least tbey may not be stumbling blocks In an are like the present, X..
