the ST. Legcr."
" Does the KING employ an nterpretcrGr
Not here. He speaks English but no other
tongue except the native Hawaiian. Those Two
languages are the prevalent ones in the Islands.
The language used at court is chiefly the native
tongue but almost all cultivated persons speak Eng
ilsh. We have nobility, though it
is not so exclusive as the British oris
tocracy. This badge" pointing to q small
round pin on the breast of his coat is the sign of
the order OF Kamehameha and Kalakaua Twenty
mobiles are elected, who constitute the state
nobility" ~ oo"'o
