Farewell to Miss Comfy.

One Of those pleasant, informal,
reunions, whose tendency
is to sweeten and happily life, oc-
cured at the residence of the Hon.
J. I. Dowsctt, last Friday evening.
The occasion was to do honor to
Miss Comfy, who is about to return,
along with her parents, to her home
in Ohio. The company consisted of
young folks-young Hawaii and
young America harmoniously blend
ing and forgetting all national dis
tinctions. The guests assembled by
imitation Of Mrs. Dowsett. The
early part of the evening passed in
music, dancing, and cheerful talk.
Adjournment to an adjacent build
ing followed at IL o'clock, the pur-
pose Of which was to participate III
spread of dclicacies and luxuries
that would have gratiGed aud salts
fed the gastronomic cravings of
Epicurus. After this was repeti-
ton Of the first part of the pro-
gramme-more dancing, more music,
more pleasant intercourse. At one
O'Clock came the hour for dispensing,
and everybody was sorry. Sorry
that the evenings pleasure had
ended, sorry to part company with
the generous host and hostess, sorry
to separate from each other, and
sorry, most Of all, to bid adieu to
the young lady in whose honor the
festivities had taken place. For the
company was composed Of the init
mate personal friends and compani-
ons of Miss Comfy, whose affection
and confidence she had inspired, by
gcntleness of demcanor and goodness
Of heart, during her stay of five
years in Honolulu.

The Trial Trip of the Ehukai.

had been invited to witness the trial
all told there were So on board. 1t
was vciy soon observed that she IN.
ewcrcd to the slightest movement of
the wheel, and that perfect control
of her course could be had. For a
litt!r while the breeze was faint and
hardly perccptible but soon after
passing the bell buoy the wind
sprang up and the little vessel danced
along over the waves, much to the
comfort of our reporter whose har-
rowing feelings OH the subject of the
friends he had left on shore over
came him. 1t was not sea sickness
oh, not was merely grief ut be-
ing thus rudcly torn from the en-
braces of his companions who had
biddcn him farewell on the wharf
with n tear in one eye and wink in
the other.
The hell buoy was reached at IL
minutes to 3 and shortly afterwards
the schooner went on the in-shore
tack, to allow the Wailele to come
up and then have a trial of speed.
As soon as the Wailele was abreast
the Ehukai went round and then an
exciting race began amidst oppos-
ing cheers from both vessels. Mr..
4. +. Cooke, who was now steering
the Ehukai, took his bat off and
barring his manly locks to the breeze,
cncirccd them with white hand

hind the wheel, steered ahead dc.

attempt. Very soon the Wailele
was tlistanccd and ironical cheers
greeted hci attempted manGuvrc of
Of getting to windward and taking
the wind out OF our sails.
At 8 minutes past the Wailele

her start was passed. On approach
ing the Consuelo, Mr.. Cooke to test
the powers Of the vessel put her
about and sailed back past the Wai .
lele and then turning again arrived
ut the anchorage AZ soon as her. ut
about 4:l5. Throughout the trip
was most enjoyable, and you can
imagine the fervors with which our
reporter was received into the
bosoms of his anxious friends, and
the thoughtful inquiries as to his
health. We deem it necessary to
state here that the story of sharks
inviting our reporter to follow his
dinner is pure fabrication, circu-
lated by some persons envious of his
command over his feelings during
the trip.
The view Of the shore MS the vessel
passed along was magnificent, and
probably few of our readers have
ever enjoyed a hettcr panorama than
was seen on this trip. We noticed
the Marine Railway is rapidly ap-
preaching completion and now forms
II conspicuous feature in the view of
thc harbor.
The Ehukai is built by James
Dover, and is of 45 tons burhen.
On the trip her draught was feet.
The keel was laid in February last.

was playing, an unbeard OF effect
occurred. In one Of the pieces q
piccolo solo was to be played. The
performer was q little nervous, and
Mr.. Berger questioned him before
the piece began as to his ability to go
throught with it. But when the solo
was about half finished, to the sur
prise of everybody, the soloist laid
down his instrument and sang the
remainder of it, in the proper key,
and with all the marks of expression
required. We believe also that q
mistake occurred in printing the
name of one selection in the pro-
grammes. We mention this as Mr..
Berger was accused of substituting
one piece for another.
Mr.. Furneaux has just finished
three fine pictures of the scenery of
Puma, Hawaii. The first is what is
known as the Green Lake, Kapohe.
The water of the lake is green, and
the rich tropical foliage growing on
the banks, by its reflection, aids in
producing the intense verdant green
of the water. Within a stones
throw of the Green Lake is warm
spring, crescent shaped, and of a
vivid ultramarine in color, which
forms the subject of the second pic
ture. The spring, named the Blue
Lake, is 80 deg. in temperature and
800 feet above the level of the sea.
The water is wonderfully clear and,
strange to relate, at this elevation, it
has regular rise and fall which is
said to correspond to the tide of the
ocean. The third view is moon
light scene on the beach, at Kau,
near Puma. Some natives are land
ing their nets, and in the background
are some cocoanut and lauhala trees.
The effect of the tropical moonlight
on the water is enchanting. We
look on these three; pictures, either
as a triptych or singly, as being
chef Guvres Of landscape paint
ing. They are well worth visit.

i n E &c AVIS, -


The Budget for the approaching fnan-
cial wear was laid before the Council on
Monday. an unusually early date. Lawyer
Lemming, in his speech on the occasion,
called attention to the early introduction
of the Budget as a fact which deserved to
be appreciated by the Council.
The President in his Introductory remarks
touched On several interesting topics.
In regard to the estimated income, which
is put down at $1G7 200, he said that the
export duty had been calculated on a crop
of $1,000 hhds.; but as now there was q
prospect of shipping 10 or IA thousand hds.
there might be reckOned upon, barring
accidents, $4,000 or $4,000 more. Similarly
the import duties, which are always largely
affected by the exports of the island, might
be expected to be much greater than here
stated, and in the total the income might
prove to be about 100000 more than is
here estimated.
Turning to the expenditure, which is put
down at S243, 754, he pointed Ou5 that it
was Sc, 1000 higher than the estimated ex-
penditure in the last Budget THE income
as estimated being also SO, 600 higher than
in last Budget. This arose from various
causes which he would point out. Under
the head of the administration, the Royal
Bookkeeper's Salary was posted at $1,000
instead of $500 as of late, because the office
was about to be filled by a person appoint
ed from home, who would receive full
salary. Under the head of police there
was an increase of about $1,000, arising
chiefly from a proposal to increase the
salary of the men by IS per month, and
partly from the arrangement that they
were in future always to wear uniform.
Under the harbour expenses there was an
increase of about 5000, namely 50 more
monthly to the boatmen, 81 increase IN onth-
ly to the lamplighter at the outer Fort, $500
for a new iron buoy, and $500 for dredg-
ing the harbour near to the wharves, and
between them and the Quay. The lab our
of this operation would be performed by
prisoners, but the money was required for
apparatus and superintendent. Under
the Military expenditure there was an
increase, owing to increased cost of vict ua

HoWltts (William and Mary) will no

All fanciful- authors fancies. Never
was their description of life more unlike
Its reality, or if it ever was real | can
emphatically affirm it is not so now.
The farmer fare may be plenteous, but
it is aught but nice, and barely palatable.
Plain roasting and boiling are all of the
culinary art known to his wife and her
one-there is usually only one-female
domestic. Among the country people
OF England there is absolutely nothing
that deserves to be called cuisine. The
Scotch and Irish have their " Dishes"
some of them appetizing and excellent;
but with the English it is roast or boiled,
chop, steak and rasher of bacon-noth-
ing besides.
AS already said, the farmer ordinarily
keeps only one female servant, a rough
country girl, little trained, and having
slight knowledge of household duties in
the ''genteer' way. Where there is a
large family of children there may be a
second, half house, half nurse-maid. Of
men-servants, who eat and sleep on the
premises, there are none save some

200 acres, even with half a dozen mich
COWS and flock of sheep on it. In
England men do the milking, and
though the dairy or buttermaid may
still exist, the poetical milkmaid, pretty
