The CAPR1c1oUs RA1N,-while California has too
much of it,-still holds back from Hawaii nei. In
this city, for three months past, the clouds have

ROYAL HAWAIIAN THEATRE.-On Saturday last
the Hawaiian Minstrels gave their first performance
at the theatre to a very crowded audience. In
fact, every part of the house was filled to its ut
most capacity, and to judge from the frequent and
stormy applause, the amateurs have every reason
to congratulate themselves upon their decided sue
cess. To discriminate, where all did so very well.
would be a useless attempt. besides the faces were
all of such a shining and impenetrable black. lips
of such broad red. and eyes a. shining so brigh. at
night; that recognition of Wellknown individuals
became quite difficult. All were perfect specimens
of veritable Sambos, and gave full proof, that
among the native Hawaiians some of the sweetest
and richest voices are by no means 4 scarcity.
With a little more study, and a little more training
of voice. Honolulu may yet boast of possessing
one of the best minstrel companies IN the world.
On Thursday evening, the eminent artistes, Miss
Firmin. Miss Ingles. and Mr.. John Jack made their
first debut in Honolulu. The house was well filled,
and the audience from beginning to end was kept
in a constant roar OF laughter. If there is health
IN a nearly laugh, tnere must certainly be more
health in an evenings attendance at the theatre
than can be found in a dozen drug stores. Miss
Firmin's singing is really excellent. and she pos
sesses one Of those rare voices, whose notes come
forth with that particular elearness, purity and
softness of tone which can be compared only to the
sounds of a clear crystal bell. To say more Ia
praise of the a~rtistes would be but the feeble echo
of the unanimous verdict of excellence. On Mon
day the performance will be, " The Lawyer and
the Factory Girl, y aud the burletta of "The
Prima Donna" German songs, Tyroiese MARBLES,
and as much fun and laughter as will cure the
worst case OF dyspepsia.

Some one has discovered that The English are reaping all
the benefits accruing from the Reciprocity Treaty with the
Hawaiian Kiugiom, and have been publishing that sort Of
stuff in Eastern journals. 1t is scarcely possible to conceive
a wider departure from the truth. The results of that treaty
have surpassed the anicipations Of its warmest advocates
Every interest in the Islands has been fostered and made TO
flourish, while those Of all our traders and merchants who
have business with them have undergone a decided improve
ment. 1t is unnecessary to make a detailed statement of facts
50 thoroughly recognized on this side Of the continent. and
We will simply mention the change from the verge OF bank
ruptcy to prospective afiuence that has come over the Island
planters Of sugar, rice and coffee, and the largely increased
commercial relation between San Francisco and Hawaii mel
It IS American and not British interests that have been sub
served by the passage Of that treaty.
