SATURDAY, OCT. 3, 1885. I
COURT OF OAHU.
(From the JYcto I'br Advertiser,
.Tan. 28, 1828).
In our previous notice of this
work, wo quoted tho descriptions of
the king, queen, and one of tho
ladles of the Court of Oaliu. The
next personage of importance is
Karaitnoku, the premier, who has
assumed the name of Billy l'ill
Billy being, we picsuinc, more
euphonous than William. He is
thus described by IMr. Steward :
Karaimoku or Mr. Pitt, the Prime
Minister, is another individual ex
tensively known to the civilized
world, lie is a man of very superior
powers and of great political saga
city. From his youth ho has held a
pre-eminent rank in the nation, both
as a counsellor and as a. warrior.
He, too, is a line-looking man; ap
parently between fifty and sixty
years of age ; and was dressed in a
suit of lead-coloured silk camlet, with
white Marseilles waistcoat and white
stockings.
lie is fond of pleasantry, and, at
times, is very playful in his conver
sation. Not long since, accompanied
by one of his most intimate friends,
he took tea with Mr. Kllis. After
partaking to their satibfaction of this
beverage, they both turned their
cups upside down, and placed the
spoons across them. Mr. Ellis asked
the reason for this. Karaimoku an
swered, " It is so with the foreigners,
when they wish uo more," to which
Mr. Ellis replied, "Perhaps with
sailors in the forecastle it is but
gentlemen merely leave the spoons
in the empty cups." A few even
ings after, the same two gentlemen
were at Mr. Ellis' tea table again.
When Karaimoku had finished, lie
was careful to leave his spoon and
cup in the manner Mr. Ellis had
mentioned as customary in good
society; but his more negligent
friend, forgetting the previous con
versation, arranged his as in the
previous instance ; on which, Karai
moku, laughingly, said to Mr. Ellis
" You see that fellow still belongs
to the forecastle he has turned his
cup up again!"
Pride of birth prevails as strongly
in these isles as in the most aristo
cratic of European nations, and the
descendants of the ancient kings of
Ilawai arc as vain of their origin as
the scious of the stately tree of Este,
or of llapsburgh.
The whole body of chiefs may be
divided into three classes, or grades
of rank; the first embracing the
royal family, and those most inti
mately connected with it; the
second, those holding hereditary
offices of power, and the governors
of the different islands; and the
third, the rulers of districts, and all
inferior chiefs. Those included in
the two first grades arc usually called
High Chiefs; and those of the third,
small or low. The high chiefs are
few in number, and closely allied,
both by blood and marriage ; form
ing in fact but one family. Still,
they are filled with the pride, of
birth, and even the highest tena
ciously prefer the slightest grounds
of precedence.
In one particular, the aiisloera
tical system of Ilawai is infinitely
more polite than that of Prance, her
self, the region of courtesy and re
finement. The " Salic Law " is put
to the blush by that of the Sandwich
Islands, for, in the latter, rank is
hereditary in thccmale, and not in
the mae line. Thankful should the
ladies of Ilawai be, that they were
born in the rude islands of the Pa
cific, instead of the baronial castles
of the old world.
There is much poetry in the no
menclature of this people. Keopii;
lani is literally, "The gathering of
the heavens, or of the clouds of
heaven." Tamcha-raeha, "The
lonely one." Tameha-maru, a name
assumed by the queen after the
death of her father, "The shade of
the lonely one." Kunhti-mnnu,
"The feather mantle." Kalakua,
"The way of tho Gods." Kapio
lani, "The captive of heaven."
Lcalea-hoku, "The necklace of
stars, or the starry necklace."
The ladies of Ilawai are distin
guished by a pinguitude that must
be absolutely appalling to our fair
readers.
The governess of Tauai, tho sister
of Taumuarii, is said to weigh near
four hundred; Namahana, one of
the Queens of Tanichameha, weighs
two hundred and ninety; her sisters
Kaahumanu and Kalakua nearly the
same, and her brother, Kuakioi,
Governor of Ilawai, though little
more than 2o years old, three hun
dred and twenty-five pounds. This
immense bulk of person is supposed
to arise from the care taken of
them from their earliest infancy,
and from the abundance and nutri
tious quality of their food, especially
that of poe, a kind of paste made
from taro, an esculent root, a prin
cipal article of diet. In addition to
all this good feeding, these ladies
' must be blessed with a good con
science, or they never would dis
k place so large a portion of the at
' mbsplicre.
There is no way of accounting for
female taste. The ladies of America
make pets of cats and lap-dogs:
those of Ilawai prefer hogs.
The pets of tho nobles, of what
ever kind, havu in many eases un
controllable privileges. There is
at present attached to the Palace, a
hog of this character weighing four
or live hundred pounds called Kef
(thumanu, after the haughty dowa
ger of that name which is permit
ted to range, nt pleasure, within
doors as well as without; anu not
unfrcqueutly finds a bed among the
satins and velvets of the royal
couches.
A little pig, three or four weeks
of age, as yet uneorrupled by the
world, might do well enough for a
pet, but an old hog of five hundred
pounds is really too much. A cat
may look at a king, it is true, but
this is no reason why a toy should
repose on a royal couch. It is the
c plus ultra of radicalism.

rrMIE undersigned, a Committee of Di
JL lectors of the Equitable Life As
surance Society of the United States,
appointed lo formulate the views of the
Hoard on the advantages offered by the
Society to the public, icpoit :
1st The Society issues all the approv
ed fonns of atsuiancc, including Ordl.
nary Life, Eedowment and Tontiuc po
licies. It is immaterial to the Directors
which form of policy is taken by in
tendinc assurers.
2d The Life and Endowment forms
of policy provido for annual cash divi
dends and a sin render value; aro indis
putable after tin cc years and payable
immediately after proof of death.
3d Tho premiums on a Tontine po
licy are the same as on the Oidlnary
Lite, but, while the latter is only pay
able in the event of death, the holder of
the Tontine policy has the right to draw
tho whole of thoiescrvc nnd the accu.
muhitcd profits in cash at the end of a
stated period; thus, during his own life
time, after his producing years aro past,
ho can, without any larger premium
than on an oidinary policy, secure these
greater advantages.
4th Experience shows that tho return
paid in cash on maturing Tontine po
licies approximates to or exceeds the
amount of premiums paid by policy
holders, so that tho averncc cost of tho
assurance will be only about the interest.
on me premiums.
filli Tontine policies, like others, aro
paid In full in the event of death at any
time during the term of the policy, ana
aio incontestable after three years, and
payablo immediately after duo proof of
death.
0th Experience shows that the mor
tallty is lower among Tontine policy,
holders, as tho better lives seek this
kind of assurances, which is a consider
able source of profit.
7th Tontine policies will bo mado
non-forfeitablo under tho laws of the
Slate, if to desired at the time the as.
surauco is effected.
8th The Toaliuo system is fair and
just; Its accounts are accurately kept,
separate from all other business, the
funds judiciously Invested and liuprov.
cd, and the accumulated profits faith,
fully guarded and properly nppoitioned.
0th The Society 1ms since Its organ!,
zution tiansactcd n larger amount of
now business than any other company,
while its now business for the first half
of the present year is i?l,7G0,00O larger
than that of tho llrbt half of 1881. It
has Assets of 00,000,000 ; over $14 000,
000 of Surplus, and its ratio of Suipltis
to Liability is gieutcr than that of any
other company.
