On the steamship of this past 28th of April from San Francisco, we have heard once again, the Heir to the Throne of Hawaii is in England where she is continuing her studies in good and robust health. And as an example of Her competence in many languages, she sent her father a letter in French.

[In those days, much of the news from afar came by way of steamship.]

Chewing Tobacco.—Hawaiian tobacco leaves are have begun to be made into chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco as well, just like foreign tobacco. Mr. J. Dudoit is the one undertaking this. We have but heard from those who smoke tobacco and chew tobacco that it is excellent. It is available for purchase at the store of A. S. Cleghorn [Ake].

The Hon. A. S. Cleghorn was blessed with being gifted with a beautiful baby girl by his wife, the Alii Likelike Cleghorn. This is a new Royal Offspring in the era of King Kalakaua. That the Heavens watch over and bless Hawaii is our humble plea.

WEDDING PARTY IN PAUOA.

Yesterday afternoon, May 26, that grand luau was indeed held that was mentioned earlier, to honor the wedded couples in the uplands of Pauoa. There were many important people of Honolulu that were invited; attending was Princess Kaiulani and her father, Princes Kawananakoa and Kalanianaole and his wife, Judge Waikina [Whiting], and many more.

This was one of the beautiful wedding celebrations seen; there were many people who came, along with the abundant foods prepared for the guests who gave their congratulations to the wedded couples who were being honored that day. There too was the Kawaihau Glee Club who entertained the crowd. Everyone ate their fill, and drank till satiated of the waters of Kanaulu. We pray that the days following the youths be full of blessings.

[This is the wedding celebration mentioned earlier.

Also, does anyone know what the “wai a Kanaulu” is a reference to? It seems that it is a phrase that is used widely… ]
