CURBN RMMA's VISIT IN 1886.
twill be remembered that Queen Emma the
widow of Kamehameha w., visited the United
States and England in 1866. She proceeded 20
Washington in August, and Was most politely
received by President johnson. The lady, who
is highly accomplished and well favored by ua-
ture, was treated in every quaTtsr with the
greatest consideration. It is hardly necass nv
to state that she is very ambitious and has o. 4
yet abandoned the hope OF reigning over a.
wall. She is still decided power in the ii.tle
kingdom.
