TgE KAuM,EaPuI CoNCERT-We have seldom
enjoyed an evening performance more truly than
We did the concert OF last Saturday. given by the
choir Of the above mentioned church. The evidences
Of the thorough training on the part Of the leader,
Mr. Kalaikini. were unmistakable,-the perfect
unison Of voice and accuracy of movement being
very marked. There were pieces in both languages.
which added to the variety. The choir numbered
over thirty members. giving a very hne effect in
the choral performances, especially Of the anthem
&c How beautiful upon the mountains. The old
familiar q~uartette d" Call John was capitally given.
and the original comic piece ~Buiaritari" brought
the house down decidedly. \ chorus Of boys.
from Mr.. Kiha's school. did up Johnny SCHNEIDER
IN laughable perfection. \ weird and strangely
fascinating piece. " Autumn Winds" in which a
soprano voice sings "Araby's Daughter to an ac-
compartment performed by the whole choir with
closed lips in imitation Of the late gales of fall.
had a very striking effect. The soprano solo by
Mrs. Mileka Kiha, There's nothing true but
Heaven. was sung with a charming simplicity. and
a pure sweetness Of voice as touching a. anything
we have heard in Honolulu. We find also as
marked pieces on our especial programme. Lar
board Watch a-hoy.' and wahine hele Ia 0
Kaiona." The performance was not a brilliant
one. but as we said most truly enjoyable. We re-
greet that more Of our people were not present, as
the object i . very worthy one. these people are
endeIyoTing To pay Tor the repairs on their church,
which has OF late been made one OF the pleasantest
audience rooms in town. and which now CORES
ponds very nearly to our idea or a .' church for the
people" The amount cleared was about $50.
There Is quite a debt sill remaining.

THE CooLIE AGAIS."-Mr. r. II. Stanley has
been sued by his coolie, Apo, for i~nficting cruel and
unnecessary punishment. 1t appears that on the
sixth inst, Mr.. Stanley deemed it essential that Apo
should be foggei, and consequently tied him up TO a
tree by one wrist and whipped him severely, 50 much
so. that yesterday, when we examined the boy, We
found his back and breast much discolored, and
in several places the skin was broken and blood
drawn. The Attorney General has also asked the
Magistrate TO cancel the contract and declare the boy
free. The decision of the Magistrate on both cases
will be given this morning at ten O'Clock.
