On Sunday, their Majesties attended Divine SER

Very early on Monday morning the Royal party

the KIiausa at Maalaea Bay. At ~hslf-past : the
steamer cast anchor of
nAHaINA,
Having run the distance Of 10 miles between the two
points in an hour and a half.
The good people Of the second city were all on hand
to receive US. His Majesty landed at s O'Clock, and
was received at the wharf by Gov. kapena and the
other officials Of Maui and escorted to the Court
House, amidst the cheers of the people. who were
present in crowds. The party made their head
quarters at the large house belonging to Gov. Nahao-
lelua. Here during the entire day the people came to
present their h~ookupus and to pay their respects to
their Majesties. At noon, the Protestant Church Of
Wainee was filled to overlooking with the populace,
who were addressed by His Majesty as follows:
People Of Lahaina: Before addressing TO you
the brief remarks which l propose TO make on this
occasion, l cannot omit referring 10 some memories Of
my late lamented Predecessor, who made a short visit
here last year, on the journey which he undertook
for the benefit of his health. The late King was
deeply ~soicitous for the welfare of his people, but the
condition Of his health was such that he was unable
to carry ont his plans for their good. | regarded
the late King and his two immediate preipreSSors
with strong affection, for on these sands and among
these fields Of Lahaina, they and I have played to-
gether as boys, in the family of our grandmother.
Hoapili Wahine. The recollections Of those days long
past come before me wildly now.
and now | have come hither TO see you. as my
children, and that you may look upon me as your
father. l thank you much, people of the district Of
Lahalna, Tor the very warm and loyal reception which
you have given US, one which neither myself, the
Queen nor the members of the Royal Family can
cease TO remember with pleasure.
1.-The principal object which | have had in view In
making this journey among my people, is that we
may all be melted to renewed exertions for the ad-
yancement and prosperity of our nation, the extinc-
ton of which has been prophesied. Figures Of the
census have been published TO show that we are a
dying race. But shall we sit still, and indolently see
the structure erected by our fathers fall TO pieces
without lifting a hand to stay the work of destruction
If the house is dilapidated, let us repair it. Let us
thoroughly renovate our own selves, 20 the end that
causes of decay being removed, the nation may grow
again with new life and vigor, and our Government
may be firmly established-that structure which our
fathers erected.
here present, the people of the time OF Kameha-
meha l., who heard that celebrated saying: The
old men, the old women, and the children may
sleep by the wayside without fear That motto
remains good TO this day. Kamehameha III. broke
the tabu on social ntercourse-his word was. O
ka ainOa.' Said KamehamehR Ill, The righteous
man is my man. and this sentiment prevails to-day
among US, both foreigners and natives. | believe
that if | shall make the main object of my reign
the increase of the nation. there may be secured
both the stability of the Government and the ma
tional Independence. Then let my motto be
The man and woman who shall live correctly and
bring forth children, they are my people, And
charge you parents, take every care of your little
ones. And to you children also | say, obey your
parents.
= The increase of the people the advancement
OF agriculture and commeroe these are the OBJ
jects which my Government will mainly strive TO
accomplish"
Many of the old men and women present wept
audibly while the King was thus eloquently speak
ing, and he was frequently Interrupted with enthu-
siastic applause during the course Of his remarks.
In the evening, their Majesties and suite attended
a ball and supper at the mansion of Henry Turton.
Esq, one of the proprietors of the Pioneer Will.
The party was escorted to the ball by some three
hundred torch-bearers. Lahaina probably has not
seen for years so brilliant an assemblage as graced
the Turton mansion on the night of the 18th. The
house and grounds were brilliantly illuminated,
the night was still and clear. and Berger's band
discOursed sweet mnsic until about 3 o'clock.
when the Royal party re-embarked on the Klauea,
and at a quarter past four she was underway for
PUKoO, MoLoKAI.
A few minutes past six, the steamer came 10
anchor off this place. nearly opposite Lahaina. His
Majesty went ashore here, and saw the people who
gathered to the number of several hundreds. The
usual cnaachaS rna1a and ,.oc,,.z I.z.-l.
and after a stay of about an hour, the party re-
turned to the steamer. which at once steamed of
for Kalaupapa. We had no time 20 spare. for
Honolulu would expect us by 10 O'Clock that
night. What we saw at the Leper Establishment
is fully related in another place.
The steamer left Kalaupapa, Molokai, at 3 P. NJ.
on the l4th. We had little or no wind during the
passage, and the sea was smooth. but there was a
strong current setting TO the eastward and we did
not reach the dock at Honolulu until IL O'Clock.
At about 8 O'Clock, we got the arst intimation of the
SPLENDID DEMONSTRATION
in he shape of fire works and illumination with
which the capital city welcomed the return Of the
King. This was a bonfire on Makapuu. As Koko
Head came into sight, first one, and then FIVE
blazing fires were seen to crown its summit.
From Koko to Diamond Head, were ten bonares.
and then as we rounded the Head and Honolulu
came in sight. the numerous lights were quite
bewildering, and in the darkness Of the night had
the appearance of a great city. As we neared
the outer buoy, the multiplicity of the lights from
boats and bonfres on the shore was such that
for a time, it was really a puzzle to say where to
gnd the entrance to the harbor. Here the Kaauea
was met by the steam-launch of the Bentcia
having in tow six boats in two lines with torch
lights, the eighty bearers of which gave US three
rousing cheers, and this procession escorted US into
the passage. In the brief time that elapsed until
the dock was reached, it was difficult to locate
the %nulerous and different illuminations that lit
up the shore, from Waikiki to Kewalo and
thence all around to Kawa and the Prison. As
we got abreast the L. :. 5. Reuicin. which until
