THE SUNDAY HALLWAY DOOR.

THE SUNDAY HALLWAY DOOR.
"Whither leadeth yonder doorwayg
Quoth the stranger on his way
Twas the corner liquor storeway
On the quiet Sabbath day.
Ho was answered, II will show you,
If you've not been there before,
They'll be glad within TO know you
IT'S the Sunday hallway door"
To. den where drunkards wallowed,
In the funny, sickening air,
lie the guide obliging followed,
Prudence whispering, beware ~
AT the bar though young the morning,
Drinkers down the rum did pour,
Law and Christian duty scorning,
Hidden by tho hallway door.
In corner senseless lying
Slept the father Of brood;
Az his home were voices crying
For the luxury of food.
Did he think of them at wakingl
Not bit he drank the more,
Till they threw him. limp and shaking,
From the Sunday hallway door.

KOHALA NOTES.
How Christmas Was Kept-MatrimoniaI
BoOm-Fire Alarms.

How Christmas Was Kept-MatrimoniaI
BoOm-Fire Alarms.
Christmas day passed quietly in Ko-
hala. Services were held at the various
churches, and the one in the Chinese
Church was followed by an exhibition OF
the Makapala Chinese school now in
charge of Miss Ostrom. The exercises con-
sisted of singing and recitations of vari-
GUS kinds, Mrs. L. ASeu presiding at the
organ, and the pupils, numbering some
40, more or less, presented bright and
neat appearance. The profusely orna-
mented Christmas tree stood there,
though its fruit had been all distributed
the previous evening. A little kid,
bound about with wreaths Of flowers, and
carrying doll upon its back, was teth-
cred at the foot of the tree, and munched
cOntentedly on ferns and flowers. We
have not heard that it suffered any from
its extraordinary diet, but as we happen
to know that several turkeys with their
usual accompaniment went the way of
all good turkeys that afternoon, fancy
need not 90 very far to picture a small
boy in one of our neighbours houses, go
where some of it was supposed to be de-
posted, and remarking that he had eaten
too much summer cake.
Matrimonial complications thicken
here; the air is full of them, and the
marriage bells will ring three times in
the not very distant future we presume.
One or two counties are yet to be heard
from. Who are all the parties? All, if
we could close the door of the editorial
sanctum sanctorum behind us, might
1nurmur the names into the editors con-
tidential ear; but be a self appointed
publisher of the bans Never.
Two fire alarms startled the sleepers
out of their dreams on Friday night.
First, the Star Mill whistle at about 10
p. m. Trash or fire in the boiler room,
but~no serious damage done. Then the
Halawa whistle at about l a. m, the fire
reported as being only in rubbish pile
not far from the mill.

An Ancient vessel Make-Ioa.

The schooner Manuokawai, belonging
to the Inter-IsIaud Steam Navigation
Company, is now total wreck at Puma
luu, Koolau, Oahu, where she went
aground on Sunday morning, 30th ult
The steamer G. r. Bishop brought to
Honolulu the damaged cargo OF the
wrecked schooner, together with the
booms, rigging, anchors, and other
things that were saved. The Manuoka-
wal now lies on her beam ends on the
reef, several hundred feet further out
than where the schooner Marion was
wrecked several years ago. Both the
cargo and the vessel are insured.
The ManuokaWai was the oldest vessel
in the coasting trade, having arrived
here about fifty years ago from the East
She was constructed OF oak, but in recent
repairs the oak timber had been replaced
with pine The ManuOkawai had been
ashore several times in her career. but
managed to get off with slight damages
When the late Captain Dan. McGregOr
had command of her, she got out OF her
course and was several days at sea when
met by the brigantine J. d. Spreckels,
Captain +. p. Drew, who gave to the
estray mariner instructions re garding the
course for this port. But now the old
historic vessel has got beyond all hope
of floating produce into port again, and
it only remains to get what frewood
there is in her makeup. Thus passes
away another Hawaiian landmark, or
seamark If the term is more appropriate.

CIVIL CASES.
Grounding of the Kinau.

The steamer Kinau got aground on
the windward side of the entrance to
Maalaea Bay on Tuesday morning at 80
O'Clock and remained there for twenty
two hours. 1t was raining heavily at
the time and the weather was somewhat
stormy. The Kinau struck on the for
ward part of the vessel, the depth there
being six feet, while aft it was nearly
two fathoms. The engine was immedi-
ately reversed and backed at high speed,
but the Kinau was SO fast on a bank of
coral and sand that the engine had not
power to get her off. Anchors were
placed aft, and another attempt was
made to get her off with no success. A
number OF men were employed to unload
her 1890 bags sugar, and by 2 o'clock
on Wednesday morning at high tide she
got off with hardly any damage. She
does not leak. The distance from La
haina to Honolulu was made i'll five
hours and thirty-seven minutes, although
the same steamer made it in seventeen
minutes less several years ago. The
Kinau goes on the Marine Railway at
o'clock this morning.

Christmas passed off grandly at Hilo.
The Catholic Mission Band played some
beautiful selections. All the flags in the
/ town were up. The day was beautiful
and every one was out having a good
time generally.
The volcano road for carriages will
! soon be commenced.
! The new directory Of these islands has
an immense number of Chinese names
over twelve hundred. It should be
called the Chinese Directory. Sixteen
! pages in succession all begin with letter
A. They will begin to think they rank
4 l here. Japs are A l now.
Some say in Hilo that the Chinese
must go-getting tired of them. The
Joss House Chinese particularly. Hilo
is getting hard name, so many muir
ders being committed under orders of
the Joss House Chinese. They tried to
cover up the HOnOmu murder. A China
man told the police where to find the
body of the murdered man, but they
found he was only fooling with them.
At last they told him that if he did not
show the body they would pull him into
pieces and then they found the body in
several places.
AS the steamer Kinau makes such a
jlOng stay at Hilo, purser Or. G. Beckley
I gave his numerous friends a picnic to
f COcOanut Island, and as George knows
how to do the amiable all had glorious
time.
Much has been written and published
in the papers about Hilo roads. l think
we should be very thankful that we have
such good roads-better than they have
ever been and will be much better; but
some people will complain. It's natural
for some to do SO. The new piece of
road in Front street, made up of various
materials, has turned out to be a splen-
did road, very solid and very great
improvement on what it was. We all
say so, notwithstanding whatever Mr.
Sayso may say to the contrary.
AT Hail church on the 21st inst. there
was Christmas cantata in which there
was large number who sang their best
to a large audience for the benefit of
Foreign church, which is DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning money to enlarge the ediice. !
The programme was quite a lengthy one. !
The church was nicely decorated. The |
platform had been arranged with foot |
lights. The young meH and maldens |
connected with Hail and the Foreign |
church were dressed in their best and |
acquitted themselves splendidly. OF |
course there was Santa Claus, who
acted his part fully up to expectations.

mention must be made. She charmed |
