Returned to the peace of town–On Tuesday morning, we saw Her Highness Pauahi Bishop riding her carriage. We asked of ourselves, “Has Pauahi truly returned?”
News of the Royal Court
The health of the King these past days has been good, and in the evening of this Wednesday he sailed for Molokai aboard the ship of Captain Thomas B. Hanham [Kapena Hanehama]. Accompanying him was His Excellency J. O. Dominis and His Excellency F. W. Hutchison, just as we stated the other week. They will travel to Molokai, and Maui, and perhaps all the way to the Kanilehua rain of Hilo. God save the King.
[From Ka Moolelo Hawaii, by S. M. Kamakau]
There were but few alii who were greatly loved by the makaainana like Liliha. On the night that Liliha died at Leleo, the body of Liliha was returned to the town of Honolulu. It is said that there was no great wailing in lamentation heard for the alii who died before, like the resounding wailing for Kuini Liliha. Continue reading

GIFTS FROM QUEEN KAPIOLANI.
Aboard the ship Doric returning to the United States, in a weakened state, was Captain T. Myers of the warship Charleston. According to him, the silk American flag and the beautiful wooden calabash gifted to Captain Glass, the captain of the warship, when it landed here in Honolulu in June 1898, as a gift to the warship Charleston for returning the remains of her husband King Kalakaua from San Francisco.
Captain T. Myers was aboard the Charleston at the time and was the captain of the marines. When the Charleston ran aground and sank in the lagoon off an island in the Philippines, it took along with it the gifts of Queen Kapiolani down into the bowels of the ocean. They did not try to save any of the property; the lives aboard the ship were all that were saved. T. Myers greatly regrets the loss of these precious treasures.

AMAZING TALKING GOURD, THE PHONOGRAPH.
On Monday of this week, the Alii, the Queen went to where the amazing talking gourd, the ponogarapa was being shown to listen to the speaking of the Hawaiian Consul in New York with his own voice to the Queen from this talking gourd in English, thus:
I ka Moiwahine Liliuokalani o Ko Hawaii Pae Aina:–E oluolu e lawe aku i ko’u mau hoomaikai ma o ka hookomoia ana aku o ka ponogarapa a Edisona iloko o ke aupuni o Hawaii. E oluolu e hoomau ia ko ka Moiwahine ola maikai, a o kou lahui hoi me na manao maikai i ko makou lahui.

To Her Majesty Liliuokalani of the Hawaiian Islands:–Please to accept my congratulations on the introduction of Edison’s phonograph into the Kingdom of Hawaii. Please Your Majesty to continue to enjoy excellent health, and your people the good will of our nation.
I have the honor to be your most obedient servant,
Elliah H. Allen,
Consul-General of Hawaii.
On that very same day, the Queen spoke into that talking gourd, thus:
Owau keia o Liliuokalani:–

I am Liliuokalani:–
Today, the 16th day of November, A. D. 1891, is the birthday anniversary of King Kalakaua. Mr. Stoekle has kindly extended a most courteous invitation to myself and my companions; also the Princes Kawananakoa and Kalanianaole, and several ladies and gentlemen, to listen to the delightful things coming from this phonograph. Every true Hawaiian can never forget the memory of this day. This is a day that will produce in the hearts of all a deep aloha for Kalakaua, their late beloved sovereign. We shall long remember what we have heard from this phonograph today. This wonderful instrument excels in clearness to what we have heard before. The words and the kindly expressions of Hon. Mr. Allen of New York are produced with perfect distinctness. Such are the delightful qualities possessed by this machine. Aloha oukou.
