FRUET-fURE FOR CIsOUP.

One or two doctors have certainly heard
of the fruit-cure for Group; perhaps only
sone or two have ever seen it tried in a time
when peril seems SO near that of course
only medicines or surgical relief are
thoughtof
One instance is voaehed for by the fam
lily as having been decided case Of mem
braneous Group, the physician dreading
fatal termination. The father of the child
in his agony OF mind strayed into his
greenhouse. seizeda bnsach Of white grapes,
skinned aud removed tbeS seeds from few
grapes, cutting the fruit up~into small bits.
To his surprise the child eagerly allowed
them, Just far enough to make it extreme
iy sick The spasm to ''unswallow the
grapes, as the little girl said at the party,
SO relieved the dangerous conditions that
recovery was rapid and soon complete.
Another case that had not reached serious
ness, but was sufficiently alarming to the
baby mother, was treated with soonfui
after spoonful of orange juice. The halyed
orange in its skin had a teaspoon pressed
into it, and precisely the same results fol-
lowed The swallowed orange juice, free
cough bringing away the ropy mucus that
was threatening TO choke the little fellow.
These remedies may not suit every case,
but they are worth asking the doctor if he
will try them.

ASulMANu BUTTER,

Ahuimanu butter, so called be-
cause it comes from n ranch Of that
name, is first class article The
quality of butter, in the premises, is
regulated by the quality of the COW,
the feed, and the climate. At Ahui-
manu- these three prerequisites are
favorable. The conditions for
manufacture are also favorable, and
the manufacture is supcrintendcd
by persons who know how TO do IT,.
But after all, "thc proof of the pud-
ding is in the eating," and so is the
proof of butter The product Of
Ahuimanu will stand this test any
day. Take it fresh as it comes from
the ranch, and there is nothing
equal to it in this market. Lewis q
Co., grocers, Fort street, are the
local agents for the Ahuimanu arti-
Gle; but remember if you want the
best you must get it new. Butter
is one of those things the delicate
flavor of which cannot be preserved
long, even on ice. The Ahuimanu
Ranch, on the other side of this
island and some twelve or fifteen
miles distant, sends to Honolulu
about 1900 pounds of butter
monthly.

GARnEN PARTY.

The garden party given by the
ladies of st. Andrews Cathedral, on
SATURDAY afternoon, at St. Andrew S
Priory, was success in every way.
The attendance was quite large and
included many prominent citizens.
The Priory grounds are large and
we'll adapted for an affair of this
kind. In the schoolroom a number
of fancy articles were displayed on
tables and there were many pur-
chasers. Ice cream, cake, coffee
and lemonade were served on small
tables scattered through the grounds.
The Royal Hawaiian Band added to
the pleasure of the afternoon by
playing appropriate selections. The
Sisters of the Priory did all in their
power to make every one feel quite
at home. The object of the party
was to raise money for the purchase
of a water motor to blow the organ
in the Cathedral. The sum of $1,000
was realized which is sufficient to
carry out the work.

A SCENE OF BEAUTY, GAIETY,
AND MIRTH,

The residence of Hon. j. |. Dow
sett and Mrs. Dowsett, at Palama,
was 4 scene of beauty, gaiety,
mirth, and happiness Tuesday night.
The everyday beauty of the place,
with the numerous well-appointed
buildings and their surroundings of
trees, shubbery, and flowers, was
enhanced by additions tastefully and
skilfully made for the occasion.
Within was teeming profusion of
beautiful flowers; and without, dis
posed around the main building,
along the walks, and among the
trees and shubbery, were Chinese
and japanese lanterns, emitting their
solft and mellow light, creating a
picture of fairy-like enchantment.
A large and merry company of liv-
ing, moving, active beings, ladies
and gentlemen, young and beyond
that stage, but mostly young, were
there to perfect the picture. Sweet
music rang through the rooms and
hoated out upon the open air. To
this the young and gay, and others
so inclined, danced and were merry {;
while others, more sedate, sat and
chatted, or strolled in the soft light
under the open canopy of heaven.
Every member of the Dowsett
family, which is n big beginning for
any party, was there. Miss Dow
sett has recently returned from a
visit to California, and Miss Annie
and Miss Elizabeth are at home on
vacation from school, and the occa-
sion afforded them an opportunity
of reunion with many of their num-
erous old friends. When the party
broke up, past midnight, and all
retired to their respective homes, it
was with regret that so joyous a
gathering should so soon terminate,
but with hope that the past may be
repeated in the future.

PAHALA NOTES.

We have had taste of dry
weather during the last week or so,
with high winds.
The house occupied by Mr.. j. p.
Limo at Pahala, took fire to-day and
famed by the heavy wind was soon
consumed. Most of the household
effects were saved, but new gold
watch and chain with some other
gold trinkets were passed over by
those clearing the house and were
destroyed. Luckily plenty of peo-
pie were near at the time so that,
there was all the help needed,
Mr.. Monsarrat arrived back by
the Hall on Thursday from his
American trip, looking very much
better for his vacation.
Some parts of our roads are under
going much needed repairs.
Mr.. Hitchcock, the sheriff of the
island, passed through here on Tues
cay on his way round the island; he
seems in dead earnest as to his
duties and has already made some
needed changes. This is his SECOND
trip round the island during the
short time he has held his position

CONCLUSION OF THE TALE OF
THE THREE,

Several weeks ago news article
under the heading, "The Tale of
the Three" appeared in this paper,
and related how three sailors from
the bark CeciIe were kept in prison
on bread and water, etc. With the
assistance of friends and the law,
the three were liberated and are
now doing well.
The following letter speaks for it
self: "Our greatest thanks and sin
cere respects are due to IL. w.
Schmidt Esq, to Capt. w. Hcide-
mann, and to Mr.. Chas. Hammer,
for their kind assistance, liberating
us from prison, pitying our condi-
ton and providing for us, We have
been given employment and our ut
most aim will be to show our bene-
factors that their kind aid has not
been thrown away on useless char
acters. May Gods blessings be
with our benefactors.
We are most gratefully yours,

A STRANGER DROWNED.

The steamer w. G. Hall which
arrived from Hawaii and Maui Fri
day afternoon, brought news of
the drowning Of an unknown white
man at Kona. This stranger, who
spoke English fairly but with Ger
man accent, bought deck ticket
for Hawaii by the Hall on her last
trip. He appeared to be consump-
tive and in conversation with
passenger on the steamer, said that
he was going to Kealakekua Bay for
his health, BY mistake the man got
off at Keauhou, Kona. When last
seen he was on the beach walking
towards Kailua. He met some ma
tives and probably asked them where
the bay was. The natives, who did
not understand him, thought he
wanted to battle and they nodded
assent. This was on Saturday, and
on the following Tuesday he was
found drowned. His head was
wedged in among some rocks, while
his feet we're swerving with the sea.
So tightly was his head wedged that
q crowbar had to be used to get it
out. When found there was no
money about him, though he was
known to have had some when he
landed. His clothes, with watch,
chain, and ring were on the beach.
Nothing was discovered to mark his
identity. The place where the body
was found was full of holes, and
was dangerous on account of the
suction caused by the holes. 1t is
supposed that he was drawn into one
of these cavities, and dashed to
death 10y the surf. Mr.. Muller of
Hoolualoa held an inquest on the
body, but no decision was arrived at,

A HONOLULU BUSINESS DlREC.
TORY,

AS will be seen by an advertise
ment in another column of this
issue, preliminary steps have been
taken by party of Honolulu resi-
dents to publish Immediately a Ho-
nolulu Business Directory; and the
venture will be proceeded with ir-
respective of anyone who is said to
have arrived by the S. S. Australia
from San Francisco with a similar
object in view. Home enterprise
should certainly be preferred to
fereign, in matters that are purely
of local nature; and the matter
of q Honolulu Business Directory
is not so difficult as to require
foreign aid. Messrs. J. l.. Brown
& Co., Merchant street, are the
agents for the Honolulu syndicate I;
and we hope they will receive suf-
ficient patronage to make their ven
ture n success.

Mr.. j. C. LANES MISSION.

Mr.. j. G. Lane, representing the
Mckinney Directory Company, of
San Francisco, came to Honolulu on
the steamship Australia in the in
terests of McKenney's directory.
This work, in which is Incorporated
a directory of these islands, is well
known to the people of this country.
Mr.. Lane is here with the intention
of visiting the various islands, and
preparing material for a new, en-
larged, and improved edition of
the work. His headquarters are
Mt the store of Mr.. Graenhalgh,
Fort street. One fact in connec-
ton with this directory is, that it is
kept at all the leading places of re-
sort throughout the United States.
