3 i I 4 5 IV: Iff 1V1 I i i it THE POLYNESIAN. SATURDAY. JULY 24, IS.jS. GT Any person who will take the trouble to look into a fJo of game Honolulu paper of a fow years back and cast his eve over the advertising columns and note such names as incidentally occur elsewhere, will perhaps agree with us that of those who then figured on the scene as representatives of the smaller parts, that means to say in the walks of life, and still continue to do so, there ought to be a larger proportion before hand with the world. The wages of our mechanics are good, even when the e3st of tho necessaries of life is taken into account, jet a great many men are now just where they were at least half a score of Tears when the end of the week comes they pnent their last sixDence.

There is no rrovi- Bionfor a rainy d.iy, and uld age, which is not condition they may answer to the three Urdv here in its approaches towards us foreigners, I dW of comparison. Mr. herd, nomi-Ends' some people, who might easily have been at KiIauei1- but in f'ict scattered otherwise, quite unprovided, Nor are there many one side of the island, may be sa.d to be in the or two there mav be with which the class of persons we are pointing at can unite, and when the day of trouble comes, receive, not as an alms, but as a quid fro quo, a return for sub-sriptions regularly paid during more prosperous days, enough to keep actual want from the door The fact seems to be that while there are con i eldom any diiEcultv in investing, say oOO.salcU nnd profitably, but what is a man to do who has got bis five or fifteen dollars only, and yet would cladly make a nest egg of it, if ho only knew how? 0 JkUcp IL 111 1113 VliV 3K in viuu'-t wmp, often broken into and their contents stolen. A TT-nn nnrl-r minr avial ri rcu mstances will eo a lL little further than he otherwise would be inclined i i to do, knowing that he has a trifle lying idle at I home. A friend mav get into difficulties, and a i kind heart melt into aCording a larger share ul i relief than the man in whose bosom it beats ought in prudence to extend.

For be remembered that we have tho authority of King David, through Brady and Tate, for saying of the good man, that Whit Li rbirity impair, tie me ly prudence in aiTair." Bet in fact there is no end to the temptation. Ferhaps the good woman (knowing the state of the exchequer) may set her heart on something fine, and who that calls himself a man would not go a little out of his pace to see his wife the observed of all observers, and a thorn in the side of some pretentious neighbor, who, it may be, has been making reflections Then there is that uneasiness which attends the very fact of possession, that consciousness of power which leads to restlessness and a desire to exercise it in somo shapo or other. In fine, thosa who can keep their money in a drawer are suoh as are made of the sterner BtufT they do not number one in ten. Tho solution of the difficulty we are referring to dops actually lie in a nut-shell. A Savings Bank is the thing wanted.

To reduce the thing to first principles wo may say that the united savings of the depositors for one week would be quite considerable enough for an investment, whereas singly thev could not invest. All the rest is machinery nnd detail. One great point would be to have for managers men hose names would be a more effective guarantee than any network of checks and counter-checks. Thank Goodness, such persons are to be fouud here, nor does it seem probable that they would refuse their countenance and the little necessary labor to further a scheme which has nothing Utopian about it, but takes its stand on common sense alone, whilst it is one eminently qualified to benefit a valuable and honest class of society. Why an institution so conducive to economy and thrift has never yet been established it is not easy to say, or, rather perhaps, it would not be easy to explain out of Honolulu.

Savings Bank9 have come to bo regarded as a national necessity elsewhere, and have contributed, as Life Assurance Associations have also done, to the relief of many men, women and children in tho hour of trouble when death occurred or work was not to be procured, besides enabling other persons to better their condition and make a start in life. Here, where the interest on money is higher than in most other countries, the advantage of not keeping one's talent in a napkin would be readily appreciated, whilst the little scraps of capital united would inako a sum sufficient if judiciously invented to encourage industry where now for the want of capital stagnation exists, and create a call for labor of which the depositors themselves would lc the first to reap the advantage. Hut all this has been Ion- ao urged in vain, and great credit, we ven- i ture to assert, is due to those who have urged it, i ir i i tlipir (-fTirtH mav have riroveu. The Kev. S.

C. Damon has frequently brought the subject forward in the journal he edits, and Mr. Wyllie has gone into and elucidated it before the Royal Hawaiian Agricultural Society. But we aro hard to move, we Honolulu folk. A Glance at Kauai.

A gentleman who returned last week from a flying visit to Kauai gives us a very pleasant idea of the existing state of things to leeward. He says it is impossible to speak in terms of commendation too high of the hospitality which every where awaits a stranger on that island. Amongst Ila-waiians and foreigners this characteristic was equally observable. Tho failure of the coffee crop in Hanalei is something that our informant speaks of as a public loss, as of courso it is. Tho trees lock as if fire had passed through and among thorn whether they can ever recover and bear again deponent 6ayeth rot.

But when tho history of the two plantations is taken into consideration the untiring persever-anco in the face of every obstacle that has been displayed on one side of the river, and the liberality with which the other estate has recently been managed and its proprietorship assumed under rather unfavorable circumstances it is impossible rot to sympathize with the enterprising men upon whom the loss falls. It seems almost too much to suppose that Mr. Titcombyaftor being frustrated by certain people in his attempt to produce silk, end bis hopes in coffse being apparently destroyed r-nt condition man anytt.ing ne nas eisewncrc seen, tinually offering a good many opportunities for get- i believe this to be a portion of the herd of the ting rid of money, the facility for laying it by in rr.t late Mr. Kuddach, who prided himself upon their in la Rtill wanting, lucre is vcrv by a still smaller insect, will now turn his hand to sugar. If he does, however, the people of experience give it ns their opinion that in that article he must be successful.

The richness of the soil combined with the humidity of the valley would blot out from the lexicon of that undertaking any such word as fail. In Mr. Wyllie's case we shall ha anything but surprised to hear that such a change has been decided on not because he has more energy than tho gentleman hose lands lie side by side with his, but for other good and sufficient reasons to which there is no need to make public allusion. But let it be remembered that our informant does not commit himself to the opinion that tho coffee-plants are past revival, so pending the solution of that question, let us hope for the best. In oing round the island the gentleman who has kindly given us his impressions particularly observed three herds of cattle, and it seems that Fosulve Ilr Puveiy mierior to me other two Mr.

Uaalelsa's herd makes the com parative, for it is comparatively a good one; but when we talk of Mr. Mc Bride's cattle, running in or near Waimea, we talk of tho superlative, for, fron the source already alluded to, we learn that they are finer, that is to say, larger and in better i gentleness of disposition and reduced tliein to a fa remarkable degree of domesticity, even ut a time when Spanish saddles and spurs were, more gener- than at resent, driving other cattte to dis i traction, and Spanish were in full swing We hear that their present owner intends to slaughter some of them in tho coming fall season and pack s-mie extra fine beef for family use. Of tr-, Dr. ood herd and that of -Mr. Widemann we do not hear anvthing on this occasion, but if they had lauen under our informants eve he surelv w.niid liavo mentioned them, for considerable pains and certain expenses have been rone to in 1 w.

we are ioiu mat mcy are very. good better than those on such parts of Oahu as the gentleman bus traveled over. It is a pleasant AP 1 .11 I carriage drive from Nawilavili to Han ilei, and from Nawiliwili ia the direction of Waimea the thoroughfare is better still. At one place, Ilanapepe perhaps, Mr. Cole, formerly of the Honolulu police force, is making a causeway to prevent the necessity of fording, as has been done from time immemorial.

It would appear that he is making a thorough job of it, and its convenience will not fail to be appreciated by visitors as well as residents. We thought we would just note these few remin- i iscences to let the inhabitants of the island which was the last be broug'-t under the rule of Ka-mehameha know that what interests them is interesting here, and to give our tourists a hint that when they are debating whither to go, they may ns well follow the direction that emigrants principally favor, and turn their faces westward. THE PAST WEEK. Drnlh of K. Coarfy, Esq.

On Sunday afternoon last, when the bark Fanny Myor hove in sight off the harbor with the private signal of R. Coady Co. at half-mast, a presentiment of evil ran through the crowds of gazers-onwho watched the approach of the vessel yet few were enough thiuk, aud fewer yet to give utterance to the th ught, that our much esteem townsman, R. Coady, was he to whom that mute signal of distress alluded. When a boat from the vessel, however, had lauded, and the information of the sad bereavement been confirmed, there came a visible gloom upon every countenance, and men spoke softly to their neighbors.

It was but a few weeks agr when, in all the vigor of manhood and apparent strength of health, he embarked fjr San Francisco to perfect some business transactions and to be gone but a short while. It was in this very vessel that he now returns in but who of the hundreds that shook hands at parting, would have been enough or prophetic enough to predict his return under such sadly reversed circumstances Attacked, on the passage over to the Coast, by cholera morbus, Mr. Coa ly succumbed after three days illness, and expired on board on the of June last. Throagh the kind forethought and care of Capt. Paty, the remains were preserved and brought back to Honolulu for interment.

On Monday afternoon the funeral took place. The Honolulu Rifles," of which company Mr. Coady was the Captain, and the Masonic Societies, of which he was a member, received the corpse from the side of the vessel, and followed by a large concourse of citizens, es- coriea 10 lDe oi tbe deceased up the Vile where liev' S- C- Draon performed the f-eral service nd thence to the N. V. Cemetery.

"ucit ii nai uiwiicu 111 a nun, receiving a 6 sonic funeral and the military salute. As a mark of respect and a tribute to the rank of th deceased, a detachment of his Majesty's Household Guards accompanied the procession to and from the Cemetery. Mr. Coady leaves a wife and three infant children. They have the deepest sympathy of all who know them, but rtheir anguish or to their grief we may not speak; for we also have loved and lost and know the sacredness of such a sorrow in such an hour.

We learn that to-morrow at 11 A. the Rev. E. G. Beckwith, President of Oahu College, will preach a funeral sermon at the Fort Street Church, memori-am R.

Coady, when the Honolulu Rifles aud the Mascuic Societies will bo present. The bark Melita from Boston, brought out the Geographical maps of the two hemispheres which Mr. Armstrong had ordered to le printed at Boston while there last year. As far as neatness, clearness and elegance of execution are concerned, they are fully deserving of the high praise we gave them some time ago. We observed however, a singular perversion of common sense in reversing the names of the hemispheres and calling the Eastern the Western, and ic versa.

We understand however, that this is not the fault of the printer, but one of the geographical conceits of the Hawaiian school rystem and its patrons. We supposed as much. But the maps are really excellent, and mutandis mutatis will be very serviceable. For Sri Frnncinco. The Brig Emma leaves to day with the mail.

Beckwiih withdrew from the Royal School to the groves of Punahou, and in so doing, took with him the greater part of the scholars, the educational efforts of the foreign portion of the community here in Honolulu with exception of the Free School under Mr. Ingraham have been fritterel away on an indefinite number of private schools subject to the inccnvcniencc3 of unsuitable locaMous, aud the uncertainty of their time of continuation, besiJei the variation in the price of tuKion. To remedy this a number of citizens met together on itur 1 ly hist, organized a meeting, and appointed a Committee to procure a proper and centrally situiteJ school-Mom, to engine a teacher, the meeting pledging itself to furnish at lea-t 2- sc holars for the first term, at -S10 ecli for the term of ten weeks, and to canvas the community generally for the support of this enterprise. The committee nppointel were B. F.

The New York Courier and Enquirer contains a noticeable leader on the recent visitations practiced towards American merchantmen by British cruisers in the Gulf of Mexico. It says It is conjectured in certain quarters, that the British answer to our remonstrances against visiting our in the Gulf of Mexico, wid in substance, be somewhat like the following: We have in no manner changed our instructions to our commanders of vessels employed in suppressing the Slave trade. Those instructions were made out several years ago. and the Government of the United States duly apprised of their nature. On the coast of Africa, where there is but little American commerce, they have not led to any evil consequences; and trhen the Administration of Mr.

Her Majesty's Government regret that any such difficulties should have arisen from the change of the cruising ground of its squadron at the request of the American Government; and they will promptly give such instructions to their naval commanders in the Gulf of Mexico, as will effectually guard against similar complaiuts in the future."

It is curious to note the effect upon the public mind of the mystic meshes of the telegraph which encircles tlie States. The eeneral ch irarteritic of elec- trie communication is concienes. We receive news in scriin and condense! to the verv quint- of the idea to be con; eyed.

The uppe- tile, thus supplied wilh the choicest morsels of novelty. erows istidious and ceu'jes to care for the whole-ome. but moic coarse aliment of ordinary life. The cream of every novelty is quickly ul.sorl)ed, digested and almost r.rzotten suu-equentiv, wnen me slower process oi i the mails furnishes the details, units in exceptionable cases, where curiosity unsated calls full particulars, they are listlessly perused, or carelessly overlooked as unworthy a moment's attention. Thus the ttlezraph, amidst a thousand disadvantages, is tainted with one bad defect.

It vastly diminishes, if not completely destroys, that regular and constant appetite with which, in the olden time of exclusive mail transportation, we were wont to sit down and calmly enjoy our budget of ireign and domestic events, with the consciousness that every line of it was new, and that no compressed summary had enlightened us a week or a fortnight in advance, and left us no relish for the prosy details. This wilt become more strikingly manifest when we fill into the habit of regularly reading the leiding events of Europe of ti day previous. The di.ference of from ten to tif.een days, which will elapse between the transmission of the brief telegraphic summary nnd the arrival of the details, will, in this fist-thinking and swift-moving age, be quite lng enough to render the latter stale and unpalatable. Who will care to read the details of a ministerial crisis, or a sanguinary encounter of arms, when not alone w.ll the items have been known nearly or quite a fortnight anteriorly, but possibly a recurrence of a similar tenor, but of an opposite result, may have effaced the memory of the previous result fur, it must not be forgotten that, while the steamer, freighted with the news of the week, is breasting the broad Atlantic Ocean, the submarine telegraph, has been daily sending its curt and pithy chronicle of current events. There appears to be nie doubt in the public mind with regard to the success of the Atlantic Submarine Telegraph cnterprize, but with us is none.
