MustcaIe at Oal,u CoIIeqe.

Last evening musicale was given at
Oahu College by Mrs. Hanford and her
pupils, assisted by Mr.. j. w. Yarndley.
The audience was quite large and very
appreciative. The programme consisted
of sixteen numbers, all of which were
produced in an almost faultless manner,
rejecting much credit on Mrs Hanford' 8
instruction. Mrs. Hanford and Mr.
Yarndley played two duets for piano and
violin. They were of a strictly classical
nature 1t is always a pleasure to hear
Mr. Yarndley, and Mrs. Hanford sus-
tanned her part in a very musicianly
manner.

THE OCCUPATION OF BURMAH.
Detailed Account of the Surrender Of
King ThebRW.

y dispatch of December 18th states that
when General Prendergast Commander of
the British eXPeditionary force at the head
of a brigade of troops, marched into Man
dalay, King Thebaw at once received
Colonel SlOden, who accompanied the ex-
peditionary force, as Civil Commissioner,
at the palace. The King was much affected
and frightened He said he hoped the
British would spare his life; that he wished
to abdicate and would remain in any house
allotted to him by the British Government.
King Thebaw claimed that his Ministers
had deceived him in regard to the situation
of affairs; that he was ignorant of what
was occurring outside of Mandalay; that
he was almost prisoner in his palace;
that he feared asSa>sins would slay
him if he left the palace, and that he would
surrender to the British authorities. Colo
mel Sloden advised His Majesty to plead
with Lord Dufferin. Viceroy of India, at
Calcutta. On Sunday Thebaw surrendered
in the presence of his Ministers, and en-
barked for Calcutta under a guard The
French Consul accompanied His Majesty.
The Burmese appear to be friendly dis
posed toward the British.

MIR. Ulise Fruge, of the Crosse
Isle neighborhood, brought US a sam
pie of his tobacco, which we dare say
is ahead of anything that has ever
been raised in Calcasieu parish. He
had two leaves, the longest of which
measured three feet, by / Z inches wide,
while the other was 33 inches in length
by 10 "a in width. This tobacco was
very heavy, of the French Perique
variety, and is another proof that to-
bacco can be successfully raised in Cal
casieu. We will give Mr.. Fruge credit
for raising the finest tobacco in the
parish, unless some one else will bring
in something better.
