Guests of many nationalities-over which
English predominated-were dispersed
about the room. The first person whom
Courtney saw. as he steered his way to
the hostess. was young Edwardes, who
was talking to pretty girl in an ultra
fashionable dress of dull green; Courtney
addressed her in passing. as Miss Stuart.
"Mr. Courtney, at last! | thought that
you had quite forgotten u.s." said a sweet
voice; little hand was stretched out to
Courtney, and pair of soft gray eyes
looked at him reproachfully.
Forgotten your The power of pro-
testation seemed to have lett Courtney :;
he could only echo the words vacantly !;
their very sound seemed to him prepos-
ferrous.
Miss kenyon-for it was she who had
spoken was lady whose claims to
beauty, spite of their unquestioning &C
ceptance by Courtney, would not be uni
versally admitted. In Venice, as else
where. her fathers ward, Lillian Stuart,
vivacious maiden with dark hair, bright
black eyes. and brilliant color, was &C
credited, with better title than her own,
to general admiration. Nary's features
were regular, her smooth brown hair was
soft and luyuriant, and her grey eyes
were full of thought and feeling, but she
was small and pale. and a certain class of
critics pronounced her devoid of style"
certainly she was devoid of the art of self
assertion. The better she was known the
more generally she was admired; her
nature was retiring, and on first acquaint-
ance she seemed shy and quiet, sometimes
a trife awkward.

OBITUARY..

Col. John Russell, barrister, died
between nine and ten O'Clock this
morning, at the house of Mrs. Long,
Pauoa Valley. He was native of
Kilkenny, Kings Co., Ireland, but
came here from the United States.
His title of "Colonel" was acquired
on the staff of the Governor of New
Jersey. Mr.. Russell practised law
for time in Philadelphia, in partner
ship with brother now dead. Ano-
Their brother is living in Cuba. The
deceased was twice married, and has
left daughter who lives in the East
ern States. He came here in delicate
health over five years ago, and, al
though practising before our courts,
was never other than an invalid. 1t
is about three months since he was
compelled to leave his office for his
bed. The consumption that afflicted
him so long took its fatal turn to
dropsy. His age was about,47 years.
The deceased was of a retiring habit
socially, but nevertheless made many
friends in Honolulu. The funeral
will take place from st. Andrews
Cathedral at 2 O'Clock tomorrow.
= Oct. 18th.

THE MISSING VESSEL.

The two natives sent by the Pa
citic Navigation Co. TO walk along
the coast of Hawaii between Hilo
and Kaalualu, to look for the
schooner Kamoi and to gather all
possible news of her, returned by
the steamer w. G. Hall on Tuesday.
They report seeing no sign of the
vessel, but had gathered information
along the coast that has revived
hopes of seeing her again. AT Puma
the old mate of the Patio and other
natives say that the schooner was off
Puma Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
but on Monday she was out of sight.
She drifled towards Kau and on
Sunday and Monday she was seen
off that district, but on Tuesday she
was missing. There was dead
calm from her time of leaving Puma
until after she was seen off kau for
the last time. She was drifting to
the southeast and Mr.. A. +. Cooke
thinks she will yet turn up. He
says she may have fallen in with
some foreign vessel.-[Oct. 22nd.

rules of the Society requiring elec-
ton of officers by ballot, unanimous
vote was passed requesting the secre-
tary to cost ballot mem con for
Mr.. Cleghorn, who was accordingly
declared elected. The remaining
officers of the Society were elected us
follows: $. NJ. Damon, Treasurer;
Justice McCully, DR.. r. McKibbin,
&. +. Dillingham;, w. NJ. Giffard,
Chas. Lucas. A. Jaeger, Committee
men; j. S. Webb, Secretary. The
reelection of Mr.. Webb as Secre-
tary was coupled with a vote of
thanks for his past services. A vote
of thanks was also passed TO the
Hon. a. f. Judd, Past Vice-Presi.
dent; and Mr.. A. Jaeger, Past
Treasurer; for the diligent and elli-
cicnt manner in which the duties of
their respective offices we've per-
formed.
Mr.. Jaeger remarked that the
trees, plants and flowers cultivated
at the Government nursery are cul-
tivated for the use of any persons
who may apply for them, and that
he had frequently offered through
the public prints to give them away,
but there did not seem to be sufli-
cient interest taken in their cultiva-
ton to induce persons to come or
take them away. A short time ago,
he had some thousands of palms to
give away, and communicated the
information to newspaper reporter,
but the applications were exceed
ingly few.
Justice McCully observed that the
great objection which had been
taken against the executives doings
was that the exhibition had been
held at the Kapiolani Park, instead
of on nearer site. The members,
however, had exhausted every pos
sible resource to obtain suitable
location for the show, and averse
though they were to going out of
town, they went there because they
could not help themselves.
Justice Bickerton warmly COM
mended the diligence and enthu-
siasm with which Mr.. Jaeger had
performed his duties in the care and
development of the Government
nursery.
Mr.. G. c. Kenyon's name was
added, on payment of the regulation
fee, to the roll of membership.
There being no further business
the meeting adjourned.-[Oct. 18th.

PORTUGUESE PROGRESS.

From the revelations of the Luso
Ha,oaiidno as they appear in the
different numbers, it is shown that
the Portuguese colony in these
islands are animated with a good
deal more public spirit than is gen.
orally known. The LusO has al
ready showed that the Portuguese
have special society of "mutual
help" that they have started of late
a cooperative society of ''produce
and consumption" and a brass
band, that they are thinking of Or
ganizing fire and military COM
pany; in this weeks issue there is
an article on the Portuguese rowing
association, which intends, it APP
pears, to show out at the next re-
gatta for ii. MS birthday. 1t is
refreshing to see so much life in
this new element of our population,
and it is promising fact for the
future, as shortly good many
Portuguese now on the other islands
will have finished their time of con-
tracts and will turn out to work for
themselves and take more part in
public life. The last issue of the
L"sO is replcte with information
well selected for its class of readers.
We noticed especially an offer made
by Mr.. Lycan, offering homestead
lots for lease to honest and hard
working families, on very tempting
terms, Mr.. Lycan promising to
build houses and fences at his own
expense, besides giving each tenant
500 grape vines to help them to
start into that culture. - Oct. 18th.

NEWS BY THE W. C. HALL.

Good weather on Hawaii and
Maui when the steamer left. The
orange season has opened with no
favorable prospects. The fruit will
not he so plentiful this season on
account of blight, and coffee, it is
feared, will share the same fate.
The cane fields are looking splendid.
Hilea and Naalehu mills begin grind
ing about the 1st November.
The Honuapo wharf lately built
by Mr.. johnson is $50 feet long
from the warehouse to the outer end
where there is "a feet of water. No
large vessel can dock there, as mis-
stated in the advertiser, as q high
sea with enormous breakers continu-
ally runs into the landing, making it
impossible for large vessel to dock
with safety. Capt. Bates, of the
steamer Hall, says the Honuapo
wharf is without exception the finest
out-landing on the Islands.
Last Monday night thunder
storm bursted on Kona and Kau
mountains. The water came down
the Kona gulches in torrents, sweep
ing everything before it, flooding the
fields and laying waste many acres
of land. The steamer touched at
Kahoolawe on the way down to take
on board Mr.. John Ena and Mr.. w.

DEATH OF Mr.. JOHN LYLE.

Mr.. John Lyle, who was sent
home i'll by the Alameda, died on
Oct. 18th, few days after reaching
San Francisco. He leaves wife
and large family, including one son
and two daughters married. His
age was So years. DR.. James
Simpson, who was called imme-
diately after his arrival, pronounced
the malady to be cancer of the sto-
mach. The friends of the deceased
desire to record their gratitude to
the officers and surgeon of the Ala
media, also Mr.. Galway, one of the
passengers, for having done all in
their power to make the patient
comfortable during the passage.
Mr.. Lyle was a man of estimable
character, and kind husband,
father and friend. He was native
of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, spent
some years in Australia, and after
ward went to San Francisco, where
he lived many years, acquiring by
his industry comfortable home for
his family. About year ago he
sold his property on O'Farrell street
and bought fruit fUm in Santa
Clara county, where his wife and
family now reside. The whole
family with the exception of one
son were with him from the evening
after reaching the Coast until his
death.
