native church in Makawao, Maui, on Saturday
evening of last week the performers being Miss
Eva Spencer, Miss Lottie Alexander, and Miss
Bella Miller, with Messrs. Dickey and Woolsey as
vOcalists, and Mr.. Schneider. violinist.
The building was lit. and the stage decorated
with superb masses Of lilies and begonias, over
topped with hdh tufts, and set of with male. At
the back of the stage were the two national flags,
happily united by " Reciprocity" Miss Alexander
presided at the piano-fOrte. and, with Mr..
Schneider, rendered pleasingly many beautiful
marches, waltzes etc. The Gypsy Counters O
Duet, by Miss Spencer and Mr.. Dickey, was well
sung and eHcOred as was the next song, " Home
sweet Home, by Miss Miller, and Mr.. Dickey. then
gave us a comic song. after which sold folks at
Home" was charmingly sung by Miss Spencer,
the gentlemen coming in effectively In the chorus.
"Larboard Watch" was followed by " Du Dist mir
nab. md doch so fern" by Miss Miller ; and then
" Leaf by Leaf" arranged as a quartette was
finely sung by Misses Spencer aud Miller, and
Messrs. Dickey and WOolsey.
The performance ended with L0hui Hdi1dii, and

A Pleasant Retreat.

The mountain house recently built for Mr.. s. T.
Alexander, on the north slope Of Haleakala, at an
elevation of 1000 feet, is fully repaying It's owner
and his family in the pleasant retreat it affords them
from the heat-and / may add, dust just now.-of
Haiku and Waikiki.
From a long distance the pretty little cottage shows
white against the dark green Of the mountain, and a
visit there, revealed new beauties in the magnificent
view afforded from the veTanda. Then a short walk
down the slope to a sunny hollow was amply repaid
by the sight Of young fruit trees aud berry-bearing
bushes that are fairly domiciled IN their new home.
There are apple, plum, peach, pear, and apricot
trees; strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, gooseberry,
and other bushes; grape vines and figs. Walnut,
chestnut, and locust trees are 10 be found; and
amongst the vegetables, ~pie-plant, or ~rhubarb, pota-
toes, etc, and all are growing splendidly Mr..
Alexander tells me that not a root, cutting, young
tree. or shrub, or vine Of the many received from
San Francisco, died. All have done well, and give
promise Of future fruitfulness. In a few years, Z IL
to be hoped, that many other summer retreats may
be located on this mountain; where, while within
easy reach Of the steamer and schooner. can be found
a delightful climate, pure air and water, and fruits
and vegetables without limit. Now, as the cheerful
light from 90 Olinda Z" CLEANS out, one thinks:

DISCOVERY OF A SPRING.-The Lahui HaUOii has
an account of the discovery Of a fine spring of water
on Monday last at Kalihi, at a locality where no

from the mountain, when Unexpectedly a stream
to afford an abundant supply of pure water for drink
ing purposes and for irrigation. The writer suggests
that it is an omen of the good effects of Reciprocity.
1t goes to show that a plenty of water could be had
in similar situations on these islands by boring.

Collisions of Suns and Stars.

When we duly take all these things
into the account, the case of our solar
system will appear as only one of
thousand cases of evolution and dissolu-
ton with which the heavens furnish us.
Other stars, like our sun, have undoubt-
edl7 started as vaporous masses, and
have thrown off planets in contracting.
The inference may seem a bold one, but
it after all involves no other assumption
than that of the continuity of natural
phenomena. 1t is not likely, therefore,
that the solar system will forever be left
to itself. Stars which strongly gravitate
toward each other, while moving
through a perennially resisting medium,
must in time be drawn together. The
collision fan extinct sun with one of the
Pleiades, after this manner, would likely
suffice to generate even grander nebula
than the one which we started. Possibly
the entire galactic system may, in an in
conceivably remote future, remodel it
self in this way; and possibly the nebula
from which our own group of planet:
has been formed may have owed Its
origin to the disintegration of systems
which had accomplished their career II

The President and the Approaching
Trial of BabcOck.

A special to the Cincinnati Commercial
from St. Louis says: The attitude of the
President respecting the trial of Babcock
is understood here, by those most likely
to speak advisedly, to be as follows:
General Babcock has been the confiden-
tial friend of General Grant, both in
military and civil life, for upward of fif-
teen years. The Presidents confidence
in him has been unbounded. On his in
dictment, Babcock gave the President
an explanation of the "Sylph" telegram,
which was at least plausible, and also
explained the meaning OF certain other
acts and documents upon which the
grand jury had felt in duty bound to
base an indictment. Babcock's state,
ments were accepted by the President
as satisfactory, and he believed, and still
continues to believe, in Babcock's limo
cence. All of this, of course, is u per
sonal matter between the President and
his private secretary. But whether the
President will allow his private sympa
thies to interfere with the course of lega
Justice is question which concerns tn,
whole country. 1t is not believed her,
that he will. The prosecution. as mat
ter of course, receives its greatest officia
support from the Secretary of the Treas
ury, and its moral support from publ
sentiment, but while it is satisfied tina
the President will use all legitimat
measures to secure the acquittal of Bal
cock, yet it does not apprehend any off
cial act on his part calculated to imped
, the course of justice.
