The Hilo Boarding School boys,
with their band, visited the Vandalia
on the 22d inst, and played some of
their best pieces to the great delight of
all on board.
It is reported at Hile that japanese
women have been sold for a good sum
by japanese and then married. A
stop will be put to such vile transac-
tions at once, and the guilty ones
shown up. Maybe some smart one
will be writing a long article to the
San Francisco Chronicle about it and
make the case appear worse than it is.
Sailed from Hilo brigantine Lurline,
Captain VIM. MatSon, on the 18th inst
for San Francisco. Passengers Mrs.

q. s. Flagship Vandalia fired a
salute of twenty-one guns in honor of
the birthday of Kamehameha III.
A colored man belonging to the Van
dalia won SIS as a wager walking to
the crater in ten hours. His name is
Perkins.
The licensed saloon has been fined
500 for selling liquor on Sunday. The
unlicensed places are selling no doubt
much liquor on that day. They must
beware, for they will have to pay dear
eventually for selling their vile stuff.
The saloon man wished J. Nawahi to
defend him, but he objected on the
ground that the Governess had not
signed the commission of the sheriff
and he could not acknowledge him.
He was very bitter in his remarks in
Court and came near being fined for
contempt. The unlicensed places it is
thought put up this job on the regular
licensed place. They would like to see
it closed up so they could sell more.
A reception and ball was given on
board the e. S. f. S. Vandalia ON the
21st instant. Written cards of invita-
ton were given out. The day was
perfect, for "a wonder; few umbrellas
were seen, all felt so sure there would
be no rain. Visitors embarked at the
mouth of Waiakea river, and were
taken in the Vandalia's boats, manned
by the jolly tars, to the ship. On ar
irving on board one could see at a
glance that cleanliness was q virtue,
for no woman's house was ever seen
cleaner than the ship. And each Off
Ger did his best to make each guest
feel at home. Hiloites appreciated
fully the courtesy shown them. This
is the first time $50 said) that man
of-war has given a reception and ball
at Hilo. Ships, of course, are thrown
open to all who would like to visit
them, but there has been no refresh
ments provided or any dancing on
board, as there was on board the Van
dalia. One of Hilo's band S played the |
music very acceptably on board. The |
young people, as well as the older por- |
ton, will long remember the Van |
dalia's coming to Hilo. The refresh
ments were excellent and plentiful. |
There were three hours of solid enjoy
ment on board. Your American cor
%. A. NJ desires in this
public manner to express his thanks
for courtesy shown him.
Hilo young people gave sociable
and ball on the 10Th inst. at the Court
House hall. There was a goodly num-
Der to enjoy the dance. The U. S. f.
S. Vandalia was well represented.
Some artist showed great taste in
decorating the hall. The band, of
which HilO is proud, played fine
music. The weather was rather I'M
pleasant, but did not deter any from
reminding one of the follow
ing well-known words: Con with
the dance, let joy be unconfined: no
sleep till morn when youth and pleas
ure meet, to chase the glowing hours
with flying feet" At II p. m. boun-
tiful repast was enjoyed, which had
been provided by the ladies, after
which there were three hours more to
lance. The following gentlemen and
ladies were present: Mr.. and Mrs. III.
