THE ANNUAL EXAMINATION of Ahuimanu College in
Koolau took place on Saturday the LIST inst. Being
a long ride from town, there were but few present
besides the parents and relatives of the pupils attend
ing, the number of which is about twenty-five, and
ranging in years from ten to seventeen or eighteen.
The recitations we're very fairly performed, showing
a care on the part of the teachers in the routine of
study not often excelled in schools of greater preten-
sions. Questions in Geography and English Gram
mar were answered with remarkable precision, and
with little h~esitancy by the youngest pupils, while
the older showed a readiness in the solving of arith-
metical and a~lgrebraic problems which could not
have been attained without a thorough grounding in
the rudiments of mathematics. One thing was espe-
cially noticeable among the scholars, and that was q
remarkably correct pronunciation, which could
scarcely be looked for in native boys under a French
teacher. = There was perhaps some fault to be found
witis-the declan atoms as being delivered without due
deliberation, and with slightly too much Of gesture.
But with this, and a few other exceptions of less con-
sequence, the whole may well be said to have been q
creditable affair. The teachers of the school are
Father Lieven, principal, and Messrs. Victor "a ma
tiye) and Steward, assistants.

rocky sides, extending down about twenty
feet, arched overhead with trees. Here an

in the vicinity, and here they obtain their
supply. Last year, ice was taken out in
September, and there is reason to believe
that it lasts during the whole year. The at,

Royalty's Property in New York.

Some of the best real estate in Gotham is
held by foreign princes. Several of the
most expensive buildings on Broadway, in
Broad street and in Wall street are owned
by the Empress Eugenia, who derives from
them every year rent of $65,O00. The
Duke of Nassau, one of the dispossessed
German princes of 1866, was here In 1868.
He had bills of exchange to the amount of
81 100000. He purchased tenements in Al
len street that are TO day nominally owned
by German lawyers or Dotaries public, and
that yield him twelve per cent. Of the capt.
tai invested. The Grand Duke of Mecken-
burg Schwerin, Frederick Francis the Sec
ond, is the owner of houses and lots In Elm
street, and Queen Victoria owns cGnsidera-
BILE real estate in Broadway. 1t stands in
the name of an Englishman. The King of
Sweden owns $500. 900 worth of real estate
in New York, and the Grand Duke Alexis
owns hotel in Broadway. King Bomba

owned SOW that gave birth to litter of
pigs, when she died, leaving them to the
mercies OF q cruel world. The owner of the
pigs was struck with compassion for the
little unfortunates, and be concluded to
bring them up by hand. He came to town
and purchased nine milk bottles with rub
Der nipples. He filled the bottles with
milk, tied them on his person, entered the
pen, laid himself down at full length, grun-
ted as asdeceased mother, and soon had the
little orphans tugging away at the nipples
of the bottles in voracious manner. Two
and three times day the man goes through
the same performance the little pigs are
happy and thriving, and express their love
for their new found mother by demonstra-
tions of delight whenever he approaches

Col. Forney tells the following story in
"The Press"
Upon the settlement of the boundary be-

Washington's lands fell within the former
State, and the late Mr.. James Ross, of
Pittsburg, was his agert for the sale of
them. He came to Philadelphia to settle
bis account, and sending word to the Presi-
dent that he would wait upon him at his
pleasure, was invited to breakfast the next
morning. On arriving he found all the
ladies--the Custises, Lewises, Mrs. Wash
ington, and others-ln the parlor, obviously
in great alarm. Mr.. Ross described them as
gathered together In the middle of the room,
like flock of partridges in field when q
hawk is in the neighborhood. Very soon
the President entered and shook hands with
Mr.. Ross, but he looked dark and lowering.
They went In to breakfast, and after q little
while the Secretary of War came in and
said to Washington: "Have you seen Mr..
Randolfs pamphlet" 81 have" said
Washington, "and by the eternal God, he is
the dist liar on the face of the ,earth!"
and as he spoke he brought his fst down
upon the table with all his strength and

plates start from their places. Ross said he
felt infinitely relieved; for he had feared
that something 10 his own conduct had, oc-
