The Fair in Aid of St. Louis College.

The Fair, on Monday last, was held in the Music
Hall, and was a grand success-both financially
and otherwise. The tables were so heavily laden,
and decorated in such artistic style, that it would
be difficult for an amateur to decide to whom the
palm was due. Amongst the articles offered for
ale were-crschet table-covers, tides, laces of
various kinds, lamp-mats, pincushions, sofa cush.
ions, hanging baskets, watch-pOckets, split frames,
picture frames: ca rriage rugs, globe with flowers
and birds, smoking caps. wall pockets, dolls, cigar
cases, hats, bed spreads, curiosities. kahilis, Gala
bashes, handkerchief boxes, jewel cases, gents
slippers, children's clothing, toilet sets, &C., and a
thousand and one things more, as the auetiOneers
say, . to O numerous to mention One speciality
was noticeable amongst a heap of pretty things it
was a colored photograph of Her Majesty Queen
Kapiolani. Her Majesty was robed in Court cos
tune, and the colors accorded with the articles of
apparel worn at the time the photograph was
taken. 1t is set in an elegant gilt frame II \ 10
inches, and mounted with plush velvet, an Orna-
mental gilt border surrounding the inner edge of
the velvet. 1t is sufficient when We state that Mr..
George +. Wells mounted the picture and manu-
featured the frame, and that the coloring was
executed by that talented artist, Miss Miranda.
A grab basket for the special benefit Of young
folks was provided, in which were 80 all prizes and
no blanks" Without endeavoring to particulariZe
each stall and its goods, let it suffice to say that
the tout ensemble presented a most attractive and
imposing appearance. The refreshment tables,
which occupied the stage, were literally patronized,
and the bon-bons. cakes, ices, coffee and tea, were
OF that excellent qualty ioT which the ladies OF
Honolulu have a reputation second to none in the
world. The band was stationed in the gallery,
and played at intervals throughout the afternoon.
1t is with regret that we heard complaints
about the unnecessary loudness of the music,
at times so deafening as to cut off all con-
Tersation amongst the audience. During the
Afternoon Her Majesty Queen Kapiolani honor
ed the fair with her presence, as also did
His Majesty in the evening, attended by His Ex-
/ cellency W. NJ. Gibson. Her Royal Highness
Princess L.iliuokalani, Princess Likelike, and the
Hon. Mr.. Cleghorn were present. The committee
are to be congratulated upon their undertaking,
and too much praise cannot be accorded to the
several ladies who took so active a part in the
manufacture and sale of goods.
The gross receipts of the fair amounted to

passengers, among them Mrs. Rouse, and Mrs. and

of the Jury for Lahaina. Evidently a list is made
of about one-tenth of the respectable foreigners
from which the panel is drawn, and the result is,
that most of the plantations are crippled by hay
ing their sugar-boilers and engineers drawn.
Surely the only fair way is to make a list of all
the respectable foreigners who are not insane or
idiotic. There are plenty of people here now, and
there is no sense in having on the list only planta-
ton managers and their most important employees.
Several plantations will probably have to stop
grinding in consequence.
HAWAII.
For several days Hilo has been visited by a win
ter storm, eliminating last night in a thunder and
lightning display-which did considerable damage
to telephone poles and wires breaking down the
one and cutting off the other. 1t will take several
days to put them to rights. The roads are almost
impossible, but are being mended by our new Road
Supervisor with as much dispatch as the weather
allows. This morning old Maunakea doomed up in
the morning sun, with her snow cap on, a conse-
quence of last nights deluge of rain-and looked
truly majestic in the distance, being about 40 miles
from Hilo Bay air line. The surf is so high. to-
day that the Likeike has to discharge her cargo at
Waiakea side instead of at her regular wharf.

would be inclined to enforce his views at the

Mr.. Cruzan spoke Of the recent political
changes in the United States as a satisfactory as
suranee that the people were in charge. Suisse
ouentlv he criticized the action of Hawaiian
authorities for having withdrawn certain re-
s~trictions in he use of alcoholic drinks.
Now We are informed by American Journals,
that the recent political change in America is
largely due to a spirit among the people TO re-
buke the assumption of prohibitionists, conse-
quently the American people, and Hawaiian au-
thorities are very much of the same mind on
this subject.
Mr.. Cruzan in . Fourth of July Grafton, and
on the occasion of the late Thanksgiving in Ho-
nolulu, reflected critically upon the King, who
being an invited listener, and moreover, a very
courteous, considerate gentleman, should receive
every courtesy from the speaker on these occa-
sions. The reverend orator may esteem his
words in this relation, as a brave expression of
honest opinion in the presence of Power but it
sounds to the ears of others who observe the
simple, unguarded, unostentatious movements of
the King among the people, as a strain of dis
courteous sensationalism unworthy an enlight-
ened Christian gentleman.

Foreign Notes.
New Haven, Com

On November 14th, during the performance at
the Globe theatre of Tennyson's new drama
1.-The Promise of May, the Marquis of Queens
bury twice arose and protested against Tenny-
sons representation of the principles of free
thought, which, he said, was a travestry on the
sentiments of freethinkers. His remarks created
a sensation, and the Marquis left the theatre.
The election at Ennis, Ireland, on November
14th, resulted in the return of Kennedy, a Par
nellite, who received 126, Reaves, his opponent,
received 80 votes.
Inquiry among the friends of General Sher-
man shows that he is quite pleased at the sug-
gestion of I~ngersoll that he (Sherman) is the
most available Republican candidate for the
Presidency. General Sherman, at the time of
nomination, will be on the retired list, however,
in the enjoyment of a pay of SIT, 900 a year for
life, and as he is not q rich man outside of his
pay as a soldier it is scarcely to be believed he
would follow the example set by Stoneman, of
California, and resign his position on the retired
list if he could get the nomination.

IT'S VERA wEEL.

It's vera weel throughout the day.

To think a man can live AWAY

But it's anither thing. at night
To sit alone by can'le-light,
Or gang till rest, when sharp winds bite
Wi'oot a WHEY.
It's vera weel when claes arc new,
To think they'll always last just SO,
And look as weel as they do moo,
wioot a wiley;
But when the holes begin to show,
The stitches rip, the buttons go,
What i'm the warl's a man 90 do

It's vera weel when skies are clear.
When frien's are trno and lassies dear,
To think yen gang through hfe-nae fear
wi'oot a wiley
But clouds will come the skies athart.
Lassies will marry, frien's maun part;
Wha then can cheer your saddened heart
Like a dear wiley?
It's vera weel when young and hale:-
But when ye're auld, and crazed, and frail,
And your blithe spirits gin "a fail,
Yen want a wiley;
But mayhap then the lassies dear
Will treat your offers wi a sheer
Because ye're cranky, gray. and sere,
Yell get nae WHEY.
Then haste yG, haste, We silly loon;

And get heavens greatest earthly boon

THE TINES LEADING ARTICLE.-EItrdct from,
tie London Times Passing by a crowd of minor
notions, we come upon the exhibit of the Waltham
Watch Company, which, in economical Importance,
is perhaps superior to anything else shown. The
rivalry Of the watches of this Company has already
been felt by our own makers, and a hesitating at
tempt was made last session, in the interest of the
Coventry manufacturers, to prevent the watch
cases of the Company receiving the English stamp,
which certites that they are made of gold. 1t
would seem that the Waltham Watches may defy
all attempts to exclude them in this indirect way.
Their first claim to public approval was derived
from the extraordinary nicely of their construction.
They were made with such perfect exactitude that
the parts of all watches of the same class could be
interchanged, and, production being thus made
possible on a large scale, cheapness as well as excel
ience was secured. But the Company have gone
on introducing improvements in their art, and the
compensation balance they have devised seems tC
have overcome the standing difficulty of the vary,
ing expansibility of the spring and the wheel. 1t il

chanism invented by the Company IS such that

Several meetings have been held BY
the citizens OF Maury county, looking
to the supposition Of the habit Of
treating by candidates. In many of
the counties in the State man cannot
make a race for a county Office with
any hope of a successful issue without
spending the profits of the Office in
buying votes through this prevalent
and growing habit Of treating, and this
fact alone keeps some of the best and
most competent citizens from offering
for places OF honor and trust, while no
one has ever seen man whose moral
sensibilities had been blunted and
whose ideas Of duty to society and his
fellow man we're of low order, who
hesitated because of this perDicious
custom. 1t is greater crime to buy
q vote with whisky than with money.
1t is the duty Of our judiciary to ex-
haust the resources of our laws to
stamp out this growing crime, and he
who stops short of this has not filed
the measure Of his obligations.
While this damning custom is not
carried to that excess in this county
that prevails in others throughout
the State, it nevertheless exists and
is possibly growing. We call the
attention Of our candidates for county
Offices to the matter; as far as we
know them they are honorable gentle.
men, and we trust they will determine
in the outset to make this campaign
without resorting to this contemplate
method Of buying votes.

Industrial education is one of the
