primitive Hawaiian manufacture, will occur
to-day, commencing at 10 a. m, when
Messrs. Lyons Levey will sell at auction,
in the store lately occupied by Mr. Sam
Mott, on Fort street, variety Of articles, the
property Of the late Hon. Mrs. Bishop. There
are a great many calabashes in the collec-
ton, from q massive one made of hard dark
wood down to tiny ones fashioned from
thin cocoanut shells. They are Of all shapes
and sizes, and make unique receptacles for
ladies' work. shells, and curios. Those made
Of cocOanuts are handsomely polished and
cut in pretty patterns.
There is a large collection of mats, from
fine flexible ones, made of thin braid and
Ornamented with quaint designs, to heavier,
thick ones, which make admirable spreads
to place beneath a dining table, or as
center piece Of a room. Quite collection
of valuable Hawaiian nets will be offered
for sale. These, besides being useful for
fishing, are just the thing to protect valu-
able fruits, such as the date, peach, ETC.,
from the mynah and other birds. Among
the articles that housekeepers will value are
a great many nice pillows, in silk and satin
slips. These are stuffed with pull and
feathers, and are very soft and comfortable.
rare chance is offered at this sale for OBJ
tanning some specimens of native kapas, or
bark cloth covers. These, as we'll as some
of the mats, are Of the celebrated &c Niihau -
make, and are in an excellent state of pre-
serVation. There are two large canoes to be
sold, which, when set in a garden and filed
with towering plants and ferns, form
unique and handsome ornaments. There
are also some huge old logs of the valuable
kou wood, that is, when properly worked, so
dark and rich. On one side the room we
noticed some broad boards on which to
pound poi, which would make handsome
and stout stands for plants.
There are also a number of the broad, low
bedsteads Of polished koa, that are so COM
fortab bic in this climate, and variety of
quilts, worked in native Hawaiian patterns
of bold design and bright colors. The little
cups and dishes, worked from cocoanut
shells, are very pretty, and all the articles
Of Hawaiian manufacture which will be Of
fered for sale, are not only valuable and in
teresting in themselves, but doubly so from
the fact that they were once the property of |
the late distinguished high Chiefess Bernice !
Pauahi Bishop.
