Just before going to press we ap-
pend the following from Fridays is
sue of the Alexandria Gazette, one of
the oldest and most reliable papers
in Virginia:
We hazard nothing in saying that the intel
ligent audience of ladies and gentlemen who
in ArmOry Hall last evening, were
favored with one of the rarest treats it was ever
the good fortune of our people to enjoy. The
occasion was the debut of Miss Jessie COuthoui,
of Chicago. in n Southern city. After an over

Couthoui appeared and without any formal in
production proceeded to rCcitc Will CarlctOM's

many sentences had fallen from herlips before
it was apparent to all present that she was n
queen among the artists of clocutionists. and
richly deserved all the cncomiums and super
lutives that the press has been pleased to make
use of in connection with her name and her ell
tcTtalnlnents. On the rostrul1, Miss COuthoul
is the very impersOnatiOn of grace. case, ell
cgance and culture. All of her selections were
rccitcd without book or paper. In the ability
to furnish an evenings entertainment the
charming clOcutionist whose name appears in

who was bold enough to risk an engagement
with this Star of the Art. deserves. as no doubt
he already enjoys. the s~inccrcst thanks of all
who were present and permitted to share the
delight and pleasure of the evenings entertain
ment. Miss Jessie Couthoui's presence will
always be hailed with great gladness by the
lovers of art in Alexandria.

Tho "Rifes" Examination .


During the last month the members of the "Ho-
nolulu Rifles have been much interested in the
contents of blue colored volume, inscribed up
toms Revised Tactics" the reason therefor being
made apparent at the drill meeting on the nth
inst, by Capt Aldrch instructing candidates for
examination for positions as non-commiss toned
officers, TO report at the Hawaiian Hotel on the
next "wednesday evening" On that evening the
Examining Board, consisting of Iieuts. Mcleod
and Gum and Sergeant Hebbard were present.
and the candidates, fourteen in number, passed
the gauntlet of a crOssfre of questions from the
trlumvirate The examination was commenced at
7.15 and the last man was not asked for his medi-
cal certificate until nearly midnight. II was de-
cided by the Board that minimum of so per cent
credits should be obtained by candidate 10 en-
title him to position as sergeant and GO per cent
for corporars position. The examination was con-
Quoted throughout with the utmost fairness and
the result as put forward by Capt. Aldrch IN
company order, read last evening at the Armory Is
as follows:
N. L. Gedge, 5. j. Ievey, Frank Godfrey; who
will be commissioned Sergeants in the order
named.

English Lesson. For Hawniiaus.


English Lessons for Hawaiiaus, by Rev W B. Oleson
Principal Hilo Boarding School. Hawaiian re
vised by Rev. A. o. Forbes, Honolulu, H. 1.
This new publication is one of the fruits of the
labors of the new English teachers, who have
within the last seven years had charge of English
speaking schools for Hawaiians 1t has grown
ont of the actual needs of such schools, and has
therefore the merit of being an original produc-
ton adapted to the special circumstances of our
schools. The plan of the book is very simple II con-
tains 90 lessons of "a English words each with their
Hawaiian equivalents. These are not taken at
random from an English dictionary; but are such
words OF common use rs have been found need
ful IN carrying on the work of the school-room.
In compiling them, care has been taken to arrange
and classify them on certain logical principles
Any young Hawaiian that masters these fourteen
hundred English words, SO as to be familiar with
their meaning and use has a large enough vocabu-
larry for the ordinary needs of social life. As we
understand the plans of the author it is his idea
that the words thus furnished to any class shall
be used by them in the construction of English
sentences under the dctation Of the teacher.
That seems sensible way of learning English
grammar by actual correct use of language. We
congratulate the author ON seeing at last in
printed FORM ready for introduction into other
schools, the work which in manuscript has done
such good service in his own school. The diff
culties of printing even SO elementary a work are
very great as those know who have to rely on
the inadequate materials of our Honolulu printing
offices.
The Teachers Association at its last meeting
endorsed the plan of this book, and welcomed its
introduction into all Englishspeaking schools.
Ii does not supply the want of an English Ha-
waiian dictionary. We believe Mr.. Hitchcock, of
Lahainaluna, has substantially completed the
work on which he has been engaged for more than
two years. We hope that he will have his die
tionary printed soOn and that all the dacritical
points possible will be used in printing so as to be
reliable guide to the pronunciation OF both the
English and the Hawaiian. Where is the Ha-
HnWa
Board of Education have been requested to have

OF respect on the occasion of the death of the late

II Is a matter Of taste and convenience whether
schools should be closed then under such circum-
stances and no remark should have been made

casion The correction l wish to make is with

Legged to be extensive POPULATION and iobbery car
ried on in connection with the contracts. Com
mander Richer lately resigned the agency Of the
Canal Company at the Isthmus, and his Published
reasons for doing 50 caused no little alarm in
financial circles. According 70 the New York
Times; He struggled without success TO pre-
vent the fearful waste Of funds with which the
work was carried on, but that which excited his
special indignation and cansed his abrupt depar-
ture from the Company's service was tho reckless
misrepresentation made regarding the progress
of excavations. His repeated protests were IN
needed, and he resigned, and refused to have any
thing more to do with the Company on any terms.
II is evident this huge project, blown up and sus-
tanned thus long by the prestige Of Ferdinand de
Lesseps, is IN danger of collapsing utter loss of
confidence IN its management, and its prospects
are very likely TO prove the monumental failure Of
the age. We earnestly hope that these gloomy
anticlpations Will not be realised. We have every
confidence in the ability and energy Of Baron de

will see that speedy stop is put TO the system

LYING IN STATE.

Last Friday, between the hours of 10 a. m. and .
y. m. the remains of the late Mrs c. X. Bishop Icy
in state at the mansion on Emma street.
The arrangements for the mournful scene had
been admirably carried out. In the centre of the
drawing room stood bier covered with white silk
upon this was laid the body draped in snowy satin
the arms crossed on the breast. The clear cut
features and hair just tinged with gray of her who
had been once so full of life, alone were visible
she might have just sunk TO rest she had sunk to
rest, the long, deep sleep of death. On each side
Of the bier stood two female attendants. Four
kahili bearers on either side, waved monotonousy
their mourntul plumes, while -four officers of the
kings staff stood on guard. At the bead and feet
were placed large kahilis, emblems OF the rank Of
the deceased. Between the kahilis were arranged
massive silver candelabra, with lighted candles,
and mass Of pure white blossoms, woven into
crosses and wreaths by many mourning friends,
were strewed around the bier
A number of persons passed through the room.
while others remained about the windows, taking
n last look at her who had been so dear to
many OF them. Among those who were present
being HIS Majesty, II. II. II. Princess Liliuoka-
lani and Gov. Dominis, Ii. II. H. the Princess
Ihkelike and Hon A. $. Cleghorn, the British Com

sim Another Polar Execution.


1t is announced by the AiteHgWH, from st. Pc
tersburg that a project is on foot for a new Rus
sian Polar expeditions but the fact is that such an
expedition has been under consideration for some
considerable time. The leading idea of the scheme
is that the Pole Is not TO be reached by ship, but
on foot over the ice. The Jeanette expedition
indicated the probable existsncs Of chain Of isl
ands in the Siberian seas, extending towards tbs
Pole The proposed expedition, Their tore, would
start either from the new Siberian islands or from
one OF the islands discovered by De Long from
which it would be only 80 nautical miles to the
Pole The expedition would be divided into two
sections; one of them woull undertake the prelin-
mary searchas pioneers, and when they found
suitable place for a depot the whole expedition
would proceed thither. The successive stages
would thus be made, the expedition leaving behind
them at every stage provisions sufficient 10 serve
them on their return journey, IL is calculated that
an expedition this plan would take three or four
years to accomplish its object; but Russian Arctic
authoities regard il practicable. Il will be re-
membered that Baron Nordenskjold even before
his Greenland expedition, had under consideration
an expedition Polewards, 10 start from the new
Siberian islands, and we understand the project
has by no means been given up.
