praise service at Fort Stree, Church and q
Christmas caniata at the Bethel. In the
former service the programme given in last
weeks Press was faithfully carried out. The
rich melody Of music chosen in the hes. spirit

well. The music Of the cantaia at the Bethel

Christmas in Honolulu can never be made
what 1t is in those countries where its ceebra-
ton is woven round with old customs and
thousand memories. Here we attempt to keep
life and spirit Of the old Christmas seem
merged and lost in our tropiealsultry dream life.
Here we find ourselves transported into new
world where yule.tide rcvelry is strangely out
Of place where the clear iirgle of slegh.bells
doves where the huge log fires with their
merry crowds Of bright faces and happy hearts
have been transformed into picturesque Chinese
fans, with which we soothe our indolent loung.
ingsov dreamy cigars and drowsy newspapers.

greater solitude than the stranger finds in

DIED: In this Town, on Tues

HILTON. aged 40 years, 10 months,
and Z days.
Deceased was a good and up
right citizen, and staunch and true
friend; he had his peculiarities like
most of us poor mortals, and was
not without his faults. He was OF
kind and tender disposition, and
inclined to be friendly to all. He
has lived in our midst the whole Of
his life. and no one could say aught
against him. True, he was OF a
quiet temperament, and not inclined
to mix or mingle with the idle
throng. This was no fault OF his.
His funeral yesterday, which was
we'll attended, showed the estima-
ton in which he was held. To his
grief brother and other
sorrowing relatives and friends we
extend the kindest words OF conso.
latioa.
