est son Of King Kamehameha V ans

husband Of Queen Emma, Both hi.
father and brother are dead, and as soor
as Queen Emma dies or abdicatcs, The
prince becomes king Of the Sandwich is
lands Recognizing the importance OF 9
more liberal education than can be ae
quired in Honolulu, Queen Emma wisely
resolved to send the heir apparent abroad
for an education, and he is now on his

N. 7. The young prince. who, BY the
way, is said 20 be an enthusiast on the
subject Of religion, was commended by
his sister, the queen, 10 the care Of the
sisters of charity at st. Mary's hospital
on Bryant street Accordingly on the
arrival Of the steamer. d. W. McCanp,
the secular agent ofthe hospital, was dis
patched to receive him. Mr.. McCann
says he found the royal sprig decidedly
the worse for sea voyage.
He had on an old straw hat, hickory
shirt, delapidated pants and wretched
pair Of shoes. He was, however, liber-
ally supplied with funds, having carte
blanche to draw on wealthy house in
this city.
Mr.. McCann took his charge from the
steamer, dressed him up, combed his
hair, washed his face, brushed his teeth,
waxed out his moustache and then pre-
sented him to the sisters.
They received the prince very politely,
bnt were Mortified to learn that he had
never been baptized or course he could
mover be trusted in the streets Of San
Francisco with this ceremony unper-
formed So the services Of the Rev.
Father Mccullough we're invoked, and in
few minutes the prince was received
into the folds Of the holy mother church
under tho name OF Joseph Gaudaloup.
Prince Kamehamcha is a young man
Of about 22-he says 10, but he 10 un-
toubtedly older. He is about 5 feet s
inches iii height, has very dark copper
straight hair as black as .
crow growing in great profusion, and o
owe of mustache. He speaks English
pretty we'll, but is utterly uncultured and
Entirely innocent Of any knowledge of
he world. Ho was dressed in q plain |
uit Of clothes given him by Mr. McCann. |
ie also wore green necktis, white col
light felt hat, but this was soon twirling
,crvously in his fingers.
He bowed politely TO the reporter af |
er 4 moment, and took a seat. The con.
,ersation hung fire for a moment to ena-
,le the reporter to realize that hs was
actually basking in tho sunlight OF royal.
