Birthday of a beloved child.–This past Monday, the 2nd of September, was the birthday of one of our royal youths, Mrs. Lilia K. Dominis; and some of us were summoned to the commemorative party at Hamohamo. Some military officers and some members of the Legislature arrived, and they ate and drank, and left the one whose birthday it was with a good name that they left her and with fervent wishes that her days be extended.

Hawaiian National Anthem.—THIS MELE composed by the Hon. Mrs. Lilia K. Dominis has come in; there are many copies of this famous mele from San Francisco, and it can be had for the low price of a quarter, at the Book Shop of H. M. Whitney [H. M. Wini].

A Precious Gift.—We have heard that our Composer of “Mele Lahui Hawaii,” the Honorable Mrs. Lilia K. Dominis, was gifted a music book from Germany, by one of their singers; it was presented with honor for her famous accomplishment: the composition of the lyrics and the searching for the music of “Mele Lahui Hawaii,” which is sung all the time by the choir of Kawaiahao and by all of us everywhere and its fame has been heard of in Germany. The book was sent by way of Mr. F. Banning, Esq., Consul of Belgium, to our precious alii. Printed in gold lettering on the cover was: “Lilia K. Dominis.” This young alii has thus received the fruits of her labors, and we hope that there will be more of her compositions here after.
[Anyone know what this book is and where it is located today?]
