A Political Luau.

Hmo, January 22.-The glorious 18th
OF January! One whole year just
think of i'll One whole year of good
Government
A Government in which all loyal per-
sons had and still have the most I'M
bounded confidence. 1t is truly pleasant
to contemplate. We did not have as
good a time at Hilo as was had at Homo
lulu, but we did have a good time never
theless at our usual picnic place on Cocoa
nut Island, where Just good number
assembled and engaged themselves at a
luau gotten up by our loyal friend
Motley. The day was perfection. The
heavens were not weeping and all loyal
persons were cheerful, as they have
reason to be.
Mauua Kea and Mauna Loa's tops are
covered with the beautiful snow and
present a chilly prospect.
The Kinau is loading up with sugar
and will have an extra large cargo.
MIR. Antoine Sernao gave luau at his
house on the 18th inst on account of his
being so happy OYER the termination OF
his trial and being proven innocent of
the charge made against him by his
brother Jose.
1t seems to he the verdict of people
generally at Hilo that the sale of
liquor at the Volcano House should
cease, particularly as it has been sold
there for several years-without the pay
ment of any license. The former man
ager, Mr.. Maly, sold it, but he was care
full to whom he sold it. He is temper
ate man, and we never heard OF anyone
getting drunk while he was there during
the six months that he was in charge.
Since writing the above | am informed
that there was a special license granted
to sell liquor by the King and Cabinet,
with directions as to whom to sell it to.
This license may be still in force. 1t was
granted to the Volcano House, not to its
manager.
On the 10th inst. there was a gathering
of the sociable people of Hilo, at the
house OF l.. Severance, Esq, to have a
general chat and to listen to some music
and Rotations kindly given by residents
as follows:
/. Piano Duett Miss Richardson
----------. and Miss Severance
2. Vocal Solo Miss Longher
3. Vocal Solo, Mrs. II. G. Austin
4. Vocal Solo --------- Mr.. Lohgher
8. Recitation -- Miss Richardson
All the selections were encored and
greatly appreciated. The attendance
was extra large. There were two per-
sons present who are to leave us for
Kona to reside there, Mr.. and Mrs
w. E. Scott, who have contributed very
much to our pleasure for many years.
We shall miss them but we trust oul
loss will be their gain, that their ex-
pectations will be most fully realized
that health will be restored and that in
time we shall have them with us again
They certainly will meet with warm
welcome whenever they may come to
Hilo.
