Using columns. il will be seen that this Professor
of /" the black ar" as it would have been called a
hundred years ago, or more, gives a matinee at the
Royal Hawaiian Theatre this afternoon, and a last
performance in the Evening. the latter under the
patronage of His Majesty the King. The bill pre-
sented offers unusual attractions, and deserves to
secure a full house. -
HoT WEATHER.-Last Thursday was, as every
body comedies, one of the hottest days experienced
in this city for a long time. According to a gentle
man who keeps a meteorological journal, the
thermometer was higher than on any previous day
for a year past, ranging at 80 9siafhe shade. We
have heard of some localities in the city where the
mercury reached SO oS%Even this would be moth

yeaEis Is o it is noteworthy.
HMADAME Cora DE LAMOND.-This, the only female
professor of magic, gave another of her pleasing
and wonderful performances at Buffum's Hall last
evening for the Benefit of the Queens Hospital, un-
der the patronage OF Her Majesty o~so- n----,
who in common with a large audience was evident
ly equally delighted and amazed at the many and
skillful .. tricks of legerdemain " presented. The
most beautiful and effective piece of all, however,
is {" the couch of the angels" which never fails to
make a deep impression On the beholder. The
benefit melted about 100 dollars for the Hospital.
Madame Cora gives a matinee this afternoon and a
performance in the evening.
During the performance last evening, among
other pleasing products of the mysterious bo-
quet," was a very pretty present to Her Majesty
Queen Emma, of u silver wreath. appropriately en-

thanks to the fair magician, and further accepted
the gift by placing it in her hair.

cred from the illness which has prevented his ap-
pearing on the stage, the Theater will open on
Thursday evening next, when Madame States
troupe will present selections from the popular
opera'of Lucia of LammermoOr. The full audience
which greeted with unbounded applause the first
appearance of the troupe in opera on Saturday
night. is a guarantee that they will meet with like
success in the future, and that in our community.
isolated as it is from all the rest of mankind, true
musical talent is recognized and appreciated.
THE EsPLANADE.-A walk at early morning down
on the Esplanade nowadays will convince anyone
that with this city, Empire is marching on, but to the
Eastward rather than to westward. The dredge is
daily at its patient work, bringing up the mud and
sand of the bottom, to be dumped again to make
new land. Dry land has appeared on the mauka
side of the steamer wharf, and ere long there will
be at that point extensive yard room for Goals.
The rubbish from town is by the new regulation Of
the Board OF Health, required to be thrown into
the shoal water at the edge Of the Esplanade, and
is fast doing its work OF 6Iling mp. The sight of a
set of hoops-a cast-of article of feminine apparel
among broken glass, straw, and other rubbish,
set our itemizer into a brown study, the result of
which was that he spoiled a whole quire of paper
with incoherent flights of imagination about the
dear creature whose lovely form was once enclosed
in those circling wires, winding up with the sup
posed cogitations of some well-digger in the year
1900, who unearths this relic of 1871, and falls to
wondering as to what possible use it was put to.
