Mn. FunsEAu1, the artist Inns returned from
Hawaii, not without making good use Of his time,
and exceptional, II not altogether unique, oppor-
| tunitics. All the sketches, finished pictures,
Of tho recent oruptions most realistic, and de
pict the scene Of the outbreak no word painting
could no. One in particular, taken from Hawai-
haze, In very remarkable. Taken Just after sunset,
we have the two great mountains Mauna Ioa and
with fire, but both illuminated with the glare from
the great outbreak. Mr.. FurneauI has other pic
lures OF tho strange scene nearly ready for cIhbi
ton, taken under almost every variety of atInos-
pheric condition, and sun or moon or volcanic
illumination. He hopes TO be able TO open
exhibition Of his paintings of Hawaiian scenery
before the week IA out, and we certainly advise
every one in the place 10 go and see them.

" Hungarian Melody" was played with excellent
taste and facility; Of the vocal solos give the
palm to Miss s. King her song "In Sevila" which
was encored. or the gentlemen, Mr. Harnden's
" The Snow lies White" and Mr.. Berger's Fri
rnsnts were played by Mrs. II lrnien, Mr.. Berger
the bandmaster and Mr.. Jones, ir., and were all
that could be desired. There upwards Of two
hundred listeners, who went away delighted with
their entertainment and beautiful moonlit night
added TO the pleasure of their homeward journey.

tents said he would like to know where Kapela OBJ
tanned money to purchase the articles. When she
returned he spoke to her about II and words passed
between them until both became quite angry.
Emma and Annie Smith. adopted children of Sam
| smith, and the only other occupants of the house
state that they were still quarelling when they
| went to bed. One Heanu (k.), who was at the
| house that night and heard them disputing says
that when he was leaving Kapela was fixing place
on the floor to sleep. He told her to sleep the
bed but she refused to do so. Smith told her that
if she did not behave better she did not know what
