THIS is the only country in the
world probably in which person
can stand up alongside of II shower
of rain without getting wet, or can
walk out in the full glare of the
midday sun and get thoroughly
drenched. While the streets were
in mire yesterday, the water-cart
was out at Kapiolani Park laying
the dust. The Kapiolanians, how
ever, we're getting well-moistened
this forenoon.
The Band is being kept busy.
Yesterday it serenaded Chief Justice
Judd at his home in Nuuanu Valley.
Last night concert was given in
connection with a dinner at the
house of Mr.. Gulick, Minister of the
Interior. To-day, concert ut the
departure of the st. Paul, and,
weather permitting, another this
evening at Emma Square. Concerts
are also announced for the latter
place, as usual, tomorrow afternoon
and Monday evening. However, if
the weather continues bad, the con-
certs mentioned to come will be
omitted.
The steamer st. Paul sailed at
noon to-day for San Francisco with
goodly freight list, but only four
passengers, one Chinaman in the
cabin and three white men in the
steerage. The band was playing on
the wharf and notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather and the
fearfully muddy crossings, there
was fair gathering, mostly of
laboring men, to hear the music.
One of the sailors of the steamer
saws the st. Paul is slow vessel,
and if the wind is against them they
will make San Francisco in about IA
days.
This forenoon the Christmas cX-
aminations of the Punahou Prepar-
atory School were held. The at
tendance of pupils was somewhat
thinned by the boisterous and insalu-
brious weather. Nevertheless those
who were present fully sustained
the excellent reputation of the insti-
tuition. After recess the children
of Miss Carter's INTERMEDIARY and
Miss Lewis's (primary) rooms join
ed those of the principal, Miss
Halls, advanced grade, in that
room, and gave very interesting
entertainment, comprising songs,
original compositions and recitations,
mainly bearing upon the approach
ing Christian festival. A large
number of lady visitors were pre-
sent, also Rev. Drs. Bingham and
HYDE, and Chief Justice Judd.
THE schooner Mile Morris re-
turned last evening from Molokai,

QayS. lie seas caillc o'er VIC "hoi'
vessel. The crew ran short of pro
visions, sustaining life with some
sweet potatoes. Mr.. Wundenbers
says he thought the schooner woult
not live in the storm and he almos
gave her up. However, oil hands
returned safely last night and thu
captain is proud of his schooner
claiming that she stood more thai
some much larger vessels could.
