KAWAIAHAO SEMINARY.

Anniversary Exercises were held
yesterday morning in the Kawaiahao
Church which was neatly and taste
fully decorated for the occasion.
This is the first year that q scholar
of the Seminary has graduated, Miss.
Julia. n. X. Kawewehi having at
tained that proud distinction. The
programme was a long one compris-
ing compositions, recitations, and
vocal music, and an extremely inter-
csting kindergarten exercise by %
little girls under the able leadership
Of Mrs. F. NJ. Simpson. Amongst
the most appreciated were song,
the "Old Black Cat," by sung one
little girl with three others assisting
her in the refrain, interesting compo-
sitions Oh Pony by Miss. A. Puuo.
hau, China, by Miss. M. Kwai Zieng,
Cruelty to Animals, by Miss. K. Po-
wers, and two able and valuable es-
says OH the Past History snd Present
condition of Hawaii by Misses E.
Kanepuu, and j. Kawewehi 1espec-
lively which would have done credit
to any school. ''rhe valley of Cha
mouni," musical selection, and
Miss. Kealohapauole's recitation, 81
Spin" deserve special mention. After
the exercises the first graduate was
presentes with neat and handsome
diploma. The results of the cxer-
cises and examinations have been eX-
trcmely creditable to Miss. Norton
and her able and well-trained corps
of assistants, who have built well on
the foundations so well laid by the
former principals, the Misses +. and
l.. Bingham.

dry humour of his asidcs were res
ponded to by positive convulsions of
laughter on the part of the audience.
Each of the dron,atis person@ was
introduced, Wagner-lille, by a cha
ractcristic motet, thus the villain was
introduced by uilidinous music.
The rapidi'y of the changes of cos.
tune by which Mr.. Maccabe was
enabled to take each part in the play
and the happy thought of getting the
audience to imagine the scenery so
that each had what suited him best
were only surpassed by the fidelity
to type of the characters played in
transporting theatres in London.
The tripping of the village maiden,
the talk of tile heavy villain, and the
shrill tenor of the lover were repro
duced to the life. But "the acme
of sartorial surprise" was reached
when Mr.. Maccabe took both parts
of villain and maiden at the same
instant, and one moment was loving
to s'substraction" and the other i'm
ploring to be released. We won't
give away the modus opcran0i but
expect all our readers who haven't
seen it to go and see this wonderful
laughter-raising Observation-Disclosures
taneous transformation. In the vii
lain's death scene the local hit on
the papers (newspapers) by
which he proved the rightful heir
was somebody else and so on by re-
ference 1st to the Gazette, then to
the '7Fser, and for final and convin-
cling proof to the BULLETIN was i'm
mensely applauded. So also was the
letting of the audience into the se-
cret of how stage villains revive after
death behind the curtain and stalk wea-
rily off. The usual ollio of characters
were given in the second part with
all his former cerUe and vivacity.
His remarks on the subject of piano
lessons to children were sound and
sensible.

Little Rock Gazette. Is.

The GOODNESS and deliberation with
which some people prepare for the
summons we all must hear, whether or
not we are willing to answer, was never
better exemplifed than on yesterday,
by a lady from Ularksville, enc Of the
excursionists, who called at the under
taking establishment of James Cook
on West Mark ham street. There she
coolly, and with as much deliberation
and self possession as il buying a
piece of jewelry, purchased and paid
for her coffin and funeral robe. The
transaction being somewhat out of the
usual channel, it caused some little
comment in trade centers. A reporter
Of the Gazette called on Mr.. Cook
and inquired as to the correctness OF
the report.

is true except that her purchase was

Didn't Like the system.
Arhansaw TraYaler.


Lord Glendale, who is now travel
ing in Al kanssw, when asked the
other day how he liked the country,
said:
"0h, I'm much pleased with the
country and very much enjoy travel
ing ia it; but, do you know that your
railroad eating house system is very
annoying? Just as a man settles
down and persuades himself into a
nap, a negro comes along, shakes him
and says:
supper at Catfsh?'
You tell him yes, and arouse your
self. You are, OF course, very hungry,
aud every time the train stops you
expect to hear some one shout, Cat
fish; twenty minutes for supper, but
the train rolls on. After awhile the
negro that aroused you comes along
and you say:
How far is it to Cathsh?'
"'Sah?
How far is it 70 Catfsh?'
bout twenty-five miles, sab.
What made you arouse me back
yonder2'
Wanted ter know whuder yer

Twenty miles to a hungry man is
a long distance, and you loll around
with cigar awhile and finally drop
off to sleep After awhile you awake
and wait for the train to get to the
station. The negro comes through
again.

calls to mind an ineidAat of the reign
OF Gar Nicholas. half century ago,
or thereabouts. Looking out OF the
window one day, that monarch saw a
large and interested crowd on the
bank of the Neva. He sent an officer
to find out the cause, and learned that
a man had bet five roubles-about

river on the ice, which was then in
that treacherous half liquid condition
caused by the commencement Of the

perilous feat, received his FIVE roubles,

and logged with a hundred stripes;
