What I Saw and Heard
in Honolulu.

missioniiry-blues of spirits
prevailed. From the line
old days whon Kaniulia
molia the great was king, (a
fine old islander who forgave
his enemies after subduing
them) and made of a dozen
separated islands a united
kingdom, a nation to this
hour, and one to grow greater
still under the kindly Kala
kaua, whenever the Darien
ship-canal is finished and
European ships and steamers
come sailing and puffing
along on the sea-road to
awakened Asia, t love the
word Aloha, for it is a sound
full of music and good-will,
and tells of a time of aborigi
nal, arcadian simplicity and
natural enjoyment of life, and
the good things the Universal
Deity gives us in his own
wise way, which is not always
the way of commerce or civ
ilization. On Ihe whole one
doubts whether Robinson
Crusoe proved an ultimate
and unalloyed blessing to
cither his nice little island in
the still Pacific or to its pri
mitive race of idle, healthy,
happy-go-lucky, deuce-may-care
men Fridays. At any
rate it is a pleasant thing to
dwell among the cocoanuts,
bananas, dates and mangoes,
to bask on the downy beach
and dream of beautiful, brown
mermaids, to gaze on the
waste of waters and picture
delicious spice-islands just
beyond the horizon, to glance
at the mountain summit,'?
drowsily and murmur as you
sweetly fall asleep Aloha!
Salve! God bless us every
one !
A novel and beautiful cus
tom of the islanders is the one
of wearing garlands and
" wreaths of gay, bright ilowers,
with which to decorate their
brows and necks. These are
called lids, and are said to
indicate different meanings
(whether of invitation, ac
ceptance, rejection or what
not) , according to the color
or position of the buds and
blossoms upon the dark-green
background of
leaves. The
lid is a becoming and charac
teristic adornment, richly set
ting off, when white or yellow
or crimson Ilowers pre
dominate, the fine, light
brown complexion of the
wearers. There is a pastoral
quality among the natives of
which this is the best ex
ponent and expression, for
what is more appropriate
whereby to indicate the softer
sentiments and tenderer
attributes than the bright
bouquet plucked fresh from
the fields and scented with
the aroma of the dews? When
Eve first smiled on Adam,
surely she wore wild roses in
her hair and lilies on her
breast, gathered -while he
slept, and mayhap, a gipsy
girdle fragrant with jasmine
buds or orange blossomsabout
her maiden waist ; why not?
Y let, J was told, the prima
pulpit waged war violently
against such worldliness and
wicked frivolity, alleging the
tendency to immorality of
such ingenious inventions of
the devil as a motive for dis
pensing with natural orna
ments such as these and
donning the modern shawl or
mantilla in their place.
Wreaths, too, arc worse than
bonnets and round hate, and
must go the way of all vain
savagery. Thus unwholesome
barbarism is rapidly being re-
and
wholes lo civilization.
1 own, however, that
to
my unrei-enerate reason the
pleasant picture of nrimitive
days and pastoral ways, and
i lie Diisstul innocence
of ir-
norance originally
aliidinic
with the (hvollers in this
strange mid-ocean paradise,
is far more interesting than
that of the hard fate of the
shop-girl, the factory-hand,
the oilice-olerk or the household-servant,
and the know
ledge of evil and experience
of suffering incident to daily
existence under higher con
ventional conditions; and I
am reminded of the lowly,
contented Endian cottager of
of Saint Pierre, whoso- life
moved on away from the ex
citements, temptations and
vicissitudes of the motley
world, its course a blessing
to himself, its close a bene
diction on mankind. The
thought, like Banquo's spirit,
will not down, whether the
gentle Sandwich Islander
Avould to-day have been any
the worse off if his islands
had stayed undiscovered and
their inhabitants unmeddled
with altogether. And who
can tell, indeed?
TOO MUCH EDUCATION.
A Boston miss of fourteen
died the other day of too
much study and brain work,
and the doctor was smart.
enough
killed
to know what had
her, and fearless
enough to place it on record.
This little girl, who was in
the grammar school, under
the head of " language" had
to go through oral and written
exercises, study of compound
and complex sentences, read
ing from text-book and
original compositions, recita
tions, writing, etc. En the
mathematical department she
studied powers of numbers,
square root and its common
applications, mensuration of
the triangle, parallelogram,
t rapezoid and circle ; of the
prism, pyramid, cylinder,
cone and sphere: ' book
keeping, etc. Then she had to
study history, form of govern
ment, geometric problems,
model and object drawing,
music and several other mat
ters. And yet Boston is
proud of her public school
system, and shuts her eyes
to the fact that there is too
much of it. Evchanae.
A LEGAL OPINION.
"J notice in the papers,"
said the wife of a well-known
Judge, "that some lawyers
are advocating the

JutLtfes
in silk
gowns."
"Yes," he replied, straight
ening himself up. "llow do
you think I would look in a
new silk gown?"
"E hardly know," said the
lady. "You might look well
or you might not, but it is
about time that somebody in
the family had a new silk

SHE WAS HIS LONG-LOST DAUGHTER
As Mr. Dewitt C. Pease,
oi wow loi-K, stepped from
a Michigan Central train in
Chicago, Sunday, a hand
some young lady skipped to
him, threw her arms nniriir-
ously about his neck, and
kissed him many times, say
ing : "Oh, pupa ! I'm so glad
you have come." Mr. Pease
threw both arms around her
and held her firmly to his
breast. Soon she looked up
into his face, and horror stood
in her eye. "Oh, my! you
are not my papa,"" she said,
trying to free herself from
his embrace. "Yes, 1 am,"
insisted Mr. Pease, holding
her tightly; "you are my
long-lost daughter, and J am
going to keep you right in
my arms till 1 get a police
man," When the officer
placed by wholesome
came and found Mr. Pease's
diamond pin in the girl's hand
he said : "That's a new trick
here." "Is ill" said Mr.
Pease; "well, it's several
weeks old in New York."

AN ALOHA PILIKIA.
A 1IAM.A1I OK OA1IV,
Inoui Mark Tmtiit's Scki Jiool.
Thcic amis u kanaka in Oalm did
dwell,
Who had for u (laughter a monstrous
fat gal,
With n very huge income njol and
huhui,
And there was a young Pake she
loved nninni.
Cno. Indicating the aloha nut of
the fair kaikamahine for the Pake
liilii; and which, although without
consonant, is cntiicly consonant with
the feeling cxpicsscd, viz : A Vovcl
of Love, singing A-a-a-a-a-a, etc.,
way down in the throat, ad. lib.
Her old makiatkanr was down on
the match,
Because the young Pake had no
farto-patch,
And he told her in case she did any
thing rash,
She shouldn't cat pot out of his cala
bash. Cno. Pointing to a possible pili
kia pololi.
Now as liana was pounding some
halo one day,
ITcr makua came up to her. and
thus he did say:
" Go diess yourself, liana, in bright
tiukcv-rcd
I've selected
be wed."
a lane, and you shall
Cno. Slightly suggestive of baked
pig, raw shrimps, and all the etcetras
of a grand htau.
"Oilata Makua! do you think
I'm a gieeney?
I'll never consent to be that man's
tvahine!
And even a hum I'll gladly give o'er,
I'm bound to live single, and that is
Htu ha!
Cno. Expressing the maiden's
positive anti-matiimonial manao.
" Ilele oe," ciied Makua, "don't
you be so urn tily !
Oe kaikamahine nviloa no 2upulel
I'll give all my icaiwai to some other
keiki.
If you don't wed this kane, and that
viikiwiki!"
Cno. Exhibiting how the old
man departed in a state of huhu.'
Now, as Chiug Cliong was walking
Nuuanu mound,
He spied his poor liana lying dead
on the ground,
With a calabash of poi standing close
13' lier side
And a palapala stating: "By poi
son 1 died !"
Cno. Chow-chow-oy and Flowery
as sung by the beieaved Pake, but
not adapted to baibaiian tongues.
Then Ching Chong he blubbered and
called her his "Ducky;"
"Auwef amce ! 0, why did you
mace T"
He kissed her old corpse ckolu times
o'er,
Then linished the poi, and died
crying for moie.
Cno. Illustiating the tragic style
in which the Pake pololi kicked the
calabash.
The Coi oner came with twelve haole
men,
Who seated themselves on those two
' coipscs then;
They sat theie all night, and the
whole of next day,
And then rendered a verdict which
read: " Mai Puke .'"
Cno. Impiessing upon the mind
the occasional unhappy results of
placing the affections on Celestial
objects.
At twelve the next night, near a co-
coanut ticc,
The Makua, Clung Chong and his
liana did see
Ho took them for messengers fiom
the Old Scratch,
And drowiwftY? himself in his kalo-
patch.
Cjio. Depicting an unpleasant
(filicide in soft mud.
All you kaikamahine who've henid
this sad song
About the Aloha of liana and Chony,
Take care your makuas you never
huhu!
Or you'll ceitainly meet pit ilia
