K. of p. Uniform Rank.

The P. II. Brooks Division No. l,
Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, APP
peared to great advantage in their mag
nifcent new uniforms; theirs were a
great contrast to the sombre color ada
cent and along. the line. The bright red
plumes on their white helmets; the sill
yer braid on the shoulder straps; the
red belt, with silver hangings and sword
tended to relieve the monotony of the
dark colors to the eye.
The Division has been in existence
only a few months; they are all. with
the exception of two, members of Mystic
Lodge No. 2, Knights of Pythias.
Unlike a military company, all the
members wear shoulder-straps, that to
the eye of military man, each mem Der
of the division appears like an officer.
The full dress uniform, which the divi-
sion appeared in, consists of the follow
ing: White helmet with nickle chain
chin strap, surmounted with red foun-
tain plume; on front of helmet is q
shield in red with silver bullion braid
border, and in center of same Gala
lily device in silver bullion. The coat is
the regular military single
frock, made from black broadcloth. A
row of nine white metal buttons fastens
the coat in front; these buttons have on
the border raised letters the name of the
order, also a Gala lily; besides these
buttons two appear at the waist and two
on the coat tails. The shoulder straps
worn by each individual is made up like
the shield on the helmets, with the ex-
ception that they are rectangle in shape.
The pantaloons are ordinary black
cloth trousers. Encircling the waist is a
red enameled leather belt, with open
calla-lily hangers, attached to which are
three chains in white metal; the buckle
is made of the same metal, and bears
the initials gu. R." with the calla-lily
between.
Hanging from the belt in the rear the
fatigue cap was worn, which added to
the beauty of the outfit; it is of regular
military shape, with silver bullion braid
across the front above the peak, above
that the figure 81 )" surrounded by calla-
lilies. The top of the cap, which is
shown when hanging, has blue back
ground, on which rests double triangle
in rec, the angles made by braid of silver
bullion, and in center of same calla-
lily; underneath the double triangle the
word Hawaii" appears in silver braid.
The sword, which was draped with
Grape, is an elaborate affair. The scab-
bard is made of hard white metal, with
fine scroll work of Pythian assignment
on it; the hilt is covered with black
leather, which is entwined with gold
braid. On the head of the hilt is a
knights head covered with helmet, on
which rests lion in repose. Each blade
has the owners name etched on it,

was the singing by the native choirs In
the evenings, often till after midnight.
The songs were mostly recent compost
tons in honor of the late King, and were
sung either by a full choir OF twenty or
more voices, or as solos with a chorus
from the choir. Among them was one
written on board the Charleston, COM
mencing:
Mourn We sons of Hawaii,
Sad news To you we bring,
No more you'll gaze with loving eye,
Upon your generous King.
The refrain at the end of each verse,
i" King Kalakaua's no more" gave it
most melancholy finale.
Another dirge described the sorrow
spread over the land at the appearance
of the Charleston draped in mourning,
the chorus to which touched every heart ::
- His voice is hushed,
His spirit fed,
Our royal father, King no more"
The last line, in particular, was sung
with most touching pathos. Several OF
these dirges were composed by those
singing them, the last referred to having
been by Mrs. Holt. Others are ascribed
to the Queen. 1t is noteworthy that
they take the place OF the senseless wall
ing which was heard after the deaths
of the earlier chiefs and kings, which is
seldom heard nowadays in the city.

Song of the Ocean Shell.

Upon mountain height, far from the
sea,
found shell:
And to my listening ear this lovely
Ever a song of the ocean seemed to
sing
Ever tale of ocean seemed to tell.
How came this shell upon the mountain
height?
All, who can say
Whether there dropped by some too
careless hand,
Whether there cast when oceans swept
the land,
Ere the Eternal had ordained the
day?
Strange, was it not? Far from its native
deep,
One song it sang:
Sang of the awful mysteries of the tide,
Sang OF the storied sea, profound and
wide,-
Ever with echoes of old ocean rang.
And as the shell upon the mountain
height
So do l ever, leagues and leagues away,
So do | ever, wandering where may,
Sing, o my homel sing, o my
home, Of theel
-[Eugene Field.

ALONG the WAY.

The procession was one OF great length,
taking one hour and fifteen minutes TO
pass a given point, and many OF the
different delegations marched four and
five abreast, while great number OF the
carriages drove by twos. The procession
was orderly, unbroken and proceeded
with an evenness that bespoke well OF
discipline of the different companies and
delegations. The route of the process
sion was crowded by a continuous
throng of people, who viewed it from
sidewalks, verandas, windows, balconies
and roofs. At no other time during the
past history of Hawaii has been or is
likely to be for some time in the future,
such large cosmopolitan concourse Of
people assembled in Honolulu. Thus
has been the last look of the public upon
the remains of Kalaknua. They rest in
quiet with long line Of royal ancestors
gone to join the vast majority. Hawaii
has seen one of her most ilustrious SOW
ereigns die on foreign shore, his re-
mains suddenly brought home at time
when her people were preparing for a
festal event, all of which preparations
were soon changed into deep mourning.
The death of Kalakaua will go down in
the histsry of Hawaii, marking the end
of an epoch that during his seventeen
years reign has been prosperous one.

MAUNA LoA-A MEMORY.
For THE GAzETTE.l

For THE GAzETTE.)
Lonely and cold, with the snow on the
crown of it,
Under the tropics, and ringed by the
sea,
l see Mauna Loa, far meath the frown
oft,
Cane fields, and orange, and waving
palm tree.
The sun of the morning, shining serene
on it,
Painteth its summit in bloom of the
rose;
Far off the sailor descrieth the sheen
on it,
As southwark he comes from his land
OF the SHOWS.
Spectral and still, like a ghost on the
face of it,
Lieth untainted the mantle of snow;
Drowsy and sweet, like song, round the
base OF it
Surgeth the sea, in its ebb and its
flow.
Hark the loud roar that now comes
from the deeps of it,
Swayeth the solid earth under your
feet;
Fissures and chasms are cleft in the
sleeps fit
Roaring OF thunder and kissing of
sleet
Columns OF vapor, ascending in clouds
on it,
Tinted in crimson, and purple, and
gold;
Volumes OF smoke, dropping DER like a
shroud on it,
Eerie like shadows on valley and
void
Yawning and fearful, far up on the sides
of it,
Suddenly openeth crater of yore;
Belching forth lava-the red pushing
tides of it.
Roaring and fierce down the mountain
sides pour.
Lurid and awful the river like blood
on it
Swept like pestilence all in its flow,
Sweeping the forests, deep down in the
floods on it,
And swathing in fire the valleys
below.
Pleasant and cool, far away at the foot
fit,
Encircled by palms, and close by the
shore,
Hilo lay lovely and fair at the foot of it.,
Approaching it now, the fiery floods
roar.
For long, weary weeks the fire issued
forth of it,
Hilo folks gathered for watching and
prayer,
The lava floods ceased came winds from
the north of it,
Cooled the red river-arrested it
there.
Lonely and cold, with the snow on the
crown of it,
Under the tropics and ringed by the
sea,
1 see Mauna Loa, far meath the frown
of it,
Cane fields, and orange. and waving
palm tree.
