Monors to the Late King of Italy.

On Friday last, high requiem mass was
celebrated at the Catholic Church in this city,
which was attended by their Majesties, The
King and Queen, the King Personal Staff, and
all the high Dignataries of State. Minute guns
were fred from Punchbowl Battery and the war
vessels now in port, and the Hawaiian flag float
ed at half mast, from Palace and tower, all over
the city, in memory of the late King Victor En-
anuel, whose demise we announced in our
issue of last week. The national flags foated
from the different Consulates, and the vessels
in the harbor, at half mast Kings, like other
folk must succumb to the grim monster when

since 1873, period of over four years, the
business of the country has been Frustrated,
whilst money has been all the time abundant,

We deem it but an act of simple justice to say
that Mr.. Pope's acting has been source of
amusement to those who have had the plea
sure Of hearing and seeing him. On each
occasion that he appeared here, he sustained
his reputation as a first-class actor: but upon
last Saturday evening, when he gave his last
performance, he more than sustained his re-
putation. His rendering of the two scenes in
King Richard Ill, was splendidly DONE and
elected the applause of the large and fashion,
able audience present. But if his acting in
King Richard Ill. was good, that in Richelieu
was really excellent. In this last recitation,
Mr.. Pope was peculiarly happy in bringing
out all the fine points of the Incompatible,
astute old statesman and willy politician
Richelieu, and showing how well the actor
could portray the principal character in well
fine, his reading faultless, and his nice appre-
citation of the authors meaning, all that a man
Of genius and talent should be in the role Of
the actor. We are loath TO part with Mr..
Pope, who is not only good actor and genial
companion, but in manners aid bearing
gentleman. He has our warmest wishes for
his success, both professionally and person
ally, and we commend him to the lovers of the
histrionic art wherever he may go.
FRANCE and Mexico, for the past seven
years, have not been on the most intimate
terms. During all that time, these two coun-
tries have been ofish, as the saying goes, that
is, they have not been on terms such as should
exist between friendly nations in diplomatic
intercourse. Ever since the invasion of Mexi-
co by Macmillan, as the tool and victim of
Napoleon Ill, both countries have ceased to
recognize each other. But it seems that this
feeling Of hostility has been buried, at least
! by Mexico, for we learn from our exchanges
1 that President Diaz has signifed his intention
/ TO send representative from Mexico TO the
J
stop to the little unpleasantness heretofore
/ existing. After all, men are but men, and as
/ long as nations are represented by men, we
expect to see them act in like manner. Per-
haps, President Oiaz has been reading the
play of the illustrious French ruler of form
er period, whose rule of action was to con-
cilliate his enemies Richelieu was a con-
summate statesman, and President Diaz, in
copying after him, only shows that he is no
! less statesman. 1t is always pleasant to
record exhibitions of reconciliation between
estranged peoples. Would that there Were
more of this kind of feeling manifested among
the great ones of the earth it would put
period to bloody wars, SO disgraceful to the
civilization of the age, and bring an epoch not
only of peace, but goodwill to men. Grim
visaged war would smooth his wrinlled front, :"
and the blessings of peace would be vouch-
safed to poor humanity, which is far from
being the case at present.
