MAUI HAPPENINGS.
RosALIE, OR THE GYPSY QUEEN.

ing, the 9th instant, witnessed fol-
the third time the successful presen-
tation of the pretty cantata, The
Gypsy Queen" Not only was the
evening serene and illumined by a
brilliant moon, but a large party of
Mauites (more than hundredD felt
fully repaid for the ascent of the
mountain slope by the entertainment
given at Maunaolu Seminary.
The rendering of the principal
roles of the piece-Rosalie by Miss
Maggie Nape, Fairy Queen by Miss
Bessie MundoD, and Mother Grim
by Miss Lewa Kiuwa, merit multi
tude Of compliments, not only for
their pretty solos, but also for their
effective and becoming costumes.
The plot and story is briefly this :
Resale, a Tyrolese maiden, is kid
mapped by Gypsy band. She es-
capes from their encampment, wan
ders through the forest, is rescued
by the fairies, and is finally restored
to her Tyrolese companions by them.
Between Part 2 and Part 3 on the
programme, space of thirty minutes
was devoted to refreshments and
sociability. At 1870 p NJ. the enter
tanned babe adieu to their enter
tainers, and on their way homeward
thought of Gypsies, fairies, and the
Tyrols.
THE OPIUM CASE.
Some one reported that all the
prosecuting officers of the Crown
and many principal Custom house
officials arrived per Claudine last
Wednesday morning. But on cross
examination, only the names of
Deputy Attorney General Creighton
and Deputy Collector General G. E.
Boardman were divulged. How
ever, on Friday, the 5th in
slant, Messrs. Brown, Williams and
Johnson appeared before Judge
Kepoikai, of Waikiki, in answer to
the charge of importing opium.
The Judge reserved his decision till
this morning, when he discharged
the accused
It seems that the $50 tins of opium
were found by native woman, Kaai-
malolo, at Keawakapu, on the beach
beyond Kamaole, Kula. She made
known her thrilling discovery to a
half Bolabola named Pone, who
generously gave (?) some to a native
friend In Waikapu, and to another
person in Spreckelsville. These
latter were caught and the expose
followed.
Rumor has it that All Mi, of Kula,
is very indignant at some of the
Honolulu Custom officials for digging
up his land, and threatens to sue for
damage.
