Evening School Department of St. Louis College.
The President has decided to include this branch in the curriculum of the College.
Its object is to afford all classes of the community the means of acquiring a theoretical and practical knowledge of all commercial and business transactions in daily use; and also to give an insight into the workings and applications of the different Trades, which it is so essential to do in these Islands.
The Theoretical Branch will be under the supervision of the President and Professors of the College. The Practical and most important Branch will be specially attended to by volunteers from the various master artizans among us, who have kindly and generously promised their services to this useful and valuable enterprise.
They will, alternately, devote half and hour each evening to the task of imparting knowledge to the students. All the implements necessary to each trade, and to Agriculture, will be furnished by the College.
Each master-artizan, while connected with the College, will be entitled to name one Free-Life-Scholarship to the privileges of this Evening School Department.
TERMS—Each student per week, 50 cts. The Evening School will open at 7 o’clock p. m.

[This is an advertisement for the recently moved Saint Louis College, back in 1881. The English is taken from the English advertisement appearing on page 5 of the Hawaiian Gazette, 2/9/1881.
This Hawaiian ad appears in the newspaper Ka Elele Poakolu, which for some reason is not available online as of yet, even if it has been available on microfilm for years…]
Under the direction of Mr. Haughs, the nurseryman of the government, the planting of Hawaiian plants in the valley of Nuuanu will be attempted, to make that valley verdant once again with native plants, so that it will be just as beautiful as it was fifty or more years ago. These seedlings were sent by Ebena Lo [Eben Low] from his residence at Puuwaawaa, Hawaii, to Commissioner Taylor, those being aaka, holei, aalii, ohia, kolea, opiko, akia, alahee, kauila, uhiuhi, iliahi, lama, and olapa.
It is said that it has been about 50 years that these plants were growing in abundance in Nuuanu Valley, for with the influx of animals and the mass cutting of trees for firewood, the beautiful forest of times gone by became a barren field.
The government will spend a sum of money to grow and foster this new forest, however, we believe that there is no way that the beauty of the forest which God grew originally and which was damaged by man will be attained by this new forest which is intended to be grown.

Here is the short piece described in the last post:
The last that we have from “the Pacific slope” speaks of a practice that prevailed some years since at the Sandwich Islands, when it was the custom of the American consuls to be present at the trials of American sailors for breaches of the peace. The consul, at a trial before the sturdy old magistrate and native Governor Kekuanoa [Kekuanaoa], objected to the testimony of an islander on the grounds that it was false. The Governor replied, “Yes, I’m perfectly aware of that; but so was the sailor’s. Let us hear both sides, and then decide the matter.” A mere “question of veracity.”
(Harper’s New Monthly, 4/1871, p. 797)
Harper’s New Monthly Magazine, Volume 42, Issue 251, Page 797. April 1871.
In the monthly magazine, Harper’s of New York, we came across in the April edition, a short story about something done by the Alii Father [Makua Alii] who has passed, and it reports:—
The latest received from the “Pacific String of Hills” speaks of a regular practice carried out in the Hawaiian Islands; during the times when it was a regular thing for the American Consul to sit at court when an American sailor was on trial for disturbing the peace. When a case came before the traditional judge, the Governor Kekuanaoa, the American Consul objected to the testimony of a Hawaiian on the grounds of perjury. At which the Governor replied, “Yes, I am aware of this; but the same may be true of the sailor. The two of us must hear both sides and then rule on this matter.”
When we read this, we recalled that is the different way the Father of Chiefs did things; he listened to both sides first, and when that was finished, he would decide what was proper. Aloha to him and his deeds of steadfast righteousness.

This is what one of those books of bound Kuokoa looks like.
Ka Nupepa Kuokoa bound
THREE BOOKS—VOLUMES 1, 2 AND 3.
Ten Dollars
is the price for the three books. For one book is $3.50. Inquire at the Book store of H. M. WHITNEY [H. M. WINI].
[For a fee, you could take your year of newspapers to be bound at the end of the year, or they would be sold bound like these Kuokoa. Thanks the this binding, we are left with many full sets of newspapers! However, when they microfilmed the bound newspapers years ago, many were so tightly sewn that the bound side of the pages are illegible because they fall in a shadow. Hopefully funding can be found to have these newspapers unbound by an expert so the pages can be photographed clearly!]

Because we are constantly asked by our readers to print the story which our Queen wrote in Washington and that was just published in Boston, therefore, we are spreading the news to our readership that we will translate and print the story in the columns of the newspapers the daily and weekly Ke Aloha Aina, on the first week of this coming month for the benefit of our readers. Therefore, do take up Ke Aloha Aina so that you can see the one story written by Queen Liliuokalani and published in foreign lands, with statements full of sentiment and aloha dealing with Her overthrow. Aloha for Her.

“In the early years of the reign of Kamehameha V, he brought to my notice the fact that the Hawaiian people had no national air. Each nation, he said, but ours had its expression of patriotism and love of country in its own music; but we were using for the purpose on state occasions the time-honored British anthem, “God save the Queen.” This he desired me to supplant by one of my own composition. In one week’s time I notified the king that I had completed my task. The Princess Victoria had been the leader of the choir of the Kawaiahao church; but upon her death, May 29, 1866, I assumed the leadership. It was in this building and by that choir that I first introduced the “Hawaiian National Anthem.” The king was present for the purpose of criticising my new composition of both words and music, and was liberal in his commendations to me on my success. He admired not only the beauty of the music, but spoke enthusiastically of the appropriate words, so well adapted to the air and to the purpose of which they were written.”
(from Hawaii’s Story by Hawaii’s Queen, pp. 31–32.)

Almighty Father,
Heed us,
Who turn to you,
With humble hearts;
Let there forever be peace,
In these Islands,
From Hawaii to Niihau,
Under your protection;
Cho.—Let the Sovereignty of this Land be for always,
By your never ending righteousness,
And by your great power,
Long live, long live the King.

O Lord, protect,
Our King,
Let his rule continue,
Upon the Throne;
Bestow him aloha,
Within his heart;
And by your grace
Long live, long live the King.
Cho.—Let the Sovereignty of this Land be for always, &c.

Under your great love,
Are the Alii of the Nation,
And the Makaainana,
All the people;
Do watch over them,
With aloha and magnanimity,
Let us live,
By your eternal power.
Cho.—Let the Sovereignty of this Land be for always, &c.
