EXCEPTION OF REV. Mr.. HARRIS.

Queen Emma Hall was gaily
decorated last evening with Japa-
nese lanterns, palms, ferns, flags,
Hawaiian, American and japanese.
The japanese resident in Honolulu,
nearly q hundred, had gathered to
greet Rev. NJ. G. Harris, Supern-
tendent of the NJ. Z. japanese Mis-
sion in San Francisco. Rev. Mr..
Miyama and others Of that mission
have been laboring on the various
islands, for some months past, for
the spiritual welfare of their coun-
trymen. Mr.. Harris finds the work
opening with prospects of speedy
and remarkable results. Over 400
have joined the Temperance So
ciety. Every one connected with
the japanese Consulate rejoices in
Christian faith and its accompany
ing blessings. There is q rising
tide of Christian zeal for the CONVEX
sion of all the japanese on these
islands. Rev. Mr.. Harris was well
coined in behalf of the Christian
people of Honolulu by Rev. DR..
Hyde, and by the Consul, M. Taro
Ando, in behalf Of the japanese
community. Judge McCully, Judge
Lyman and Rev. S. E. Bishop join
ed in the Fluctuations of the occa-
sion. Rev. Mr.. Harris responded
very pleasantly and impressively in
both FnpIiSh and JaDaneSe Tho
occasion will long be remembered by
all present as one of peculiar inter
est and pleasure. Mrs. Ando, in
behalf of the Japanese, entertained
as hostess of the evening many
ladies, connected with the Woman's
Board, who were present to join in
the social festivities of the evening

LITERARY AND MUSICAL ENTER
TAlNMEkT.

A literary and musical entertain
ment, out of the ordinary line of
entertainments designated by those
words, was given, last night, in the
old st. Andrews Cathedral building.
The musical part was mostly illus
trative of the literary, just as
pictures appear in books to explain
the text. This was the peculiar
feature alluded to. Mrs. Florence
Williams did the literary part, and
Professor Yarndley, Miss Won Holt,
Miss Dora Dowsett, Miss M. Rhodes
and Miss G. Mist the musical. After
a duet by Mr.. Yarndley and Miss
Dowsett-violin and piano-and a
vocal solo-Shubert's Serenade by
Miss Dowsett, the Rev. Geo. Wal
lace introduced Mrs. Williams to the
audience.
Mrs. Williams spoke on the liter
ature of the Victorian era; that is,
the literature of the period of Queen
Victoria's reign. 1t was remarked
at the outset, that if the Victorian
era has not been remarkable for the
writing of history, it has been re-
markable for the making OF history,

TAVERNIER AT HILO.

Jules TaVernier has again taken
up his abode at Ailo and opened a
studio at Mons. Icons with serious
intention, at last, of completing the
numerous orders he has on hand
and of quitting his house in order"
for his departure from this country
in the Fall.
1t is an open secret that negotia-
tons are pending, and nearly con-
summated, for new cyclorama of
Kilauea, entirely distinct from the
one already exhibited, for Japan.
Work on this, however, will not be
commenced for the present.
Tavernier has had very serious
attack of Gastric fever which re-
quired all the skill of his able and
attentive physician to pull him
through. This was caused by the
indiscretion of sleeping on the grass
in the hot sun exposed to the cool
sea breezes.
Upon his easel lie has several
good pictures, landscapes as we'll
as Volcanoes, as no desires to leave
other mementos behind him besides
the "Fire Fountains. He has also
recommended taking pupils and has
two or three Of considerable promise.

particularly in the line of literature.
Popularization and internationaliza
ton of literature were dwelt upon
as main and distinctive features of
the era. These two points were
Interestingly treated and clearly
clucidatcd. Mrs. Williams is no
ordinary reader of literature, sim
ply familiarising her mind with, or
imbibing, the thoughts generated
and put into books by others, but
she is q thinker and reasoner, which
was manifest from her treatment Of
this part Of her subject. Moreover,
she has ability TO express her
thoughts clearly and fluently in
chaste and classical English. 1t was
a pleasure to listen to her presenta-
ton of ideas, old and new, familiar
and novel.
The latter and probably most in
teresting part of the lecture, to the
majority of the listeners, was de-
voted to the poets of the era.
Swinburne, Tennyson, Browning,
Rosetti, and Longfellow were allud-
ed to, and specimens of their com
positions recited or read. 1t was
here, too, that the musical illustra-
tons were introduced. Some of the
songs of some of those poets were
sung, and very nicely sung, too, by
the young ladies before mentioned.
Mrs. Williams, instead of reciting
or reading the song when it was
needed for illustration, would an
nounce it to be sung. Miss Won
Holt sang" CLONE they brought
her warrior dead;" Miss D. Dowsett,
1.-The Brook" Miss G. Mist, "The
Rainy Day." and Miss M. Rhodes,
1.-The Bridge"
Mrs. Williams, in her concluding
observations, remarked that the
Victorian era has been signalized by
more complete entrance of woman
into literature, and the result has
been the raising up of class OF
cultured and thoughtful women
more numerous and influential than
at any previous period. The good
and noble Queen Victoria was spoken
of in eulogistic words, to which
every true heart in that audience
gave responsive throb. Although
not woman of exceptional intellec-
tual capacity, the Queen is woman
with a well balanced mind, and a
"beautful, beneficent life.'
A verse of "God Save the Queen"
in which the audience joined, closed
the entertainment. The proceeds
are to be devoted to improving and
identifying st. Andrews Cathedral
grounds.

spent for physicians care and other
necessities. This sum to the hos
pital is said to be the largest ever
paid TO that institution by any of
the charitable associations Of the
town.
1t will also be noticed that the in
come of the Society from ordinary
sources is comparatively small,
quite insufficient to meet the require
ments of the colony. The Govern
mcnt aid is about S1Oi per quarter,
which, considering the many thou
sands of Portuguese here who have
paid the two-dollar tax on arrival,
is small.
1t may be here stated, that for
the present month the Society has
been obliged to suspend dispensing
assistance, rs the ordinary revenues
are exhausted, and any expenditure
could only be met by drawing on the
invested capital.
