Honolulu, February IT.?There is weeping and wailing tj-day among the mild-eyed Kanakas in this f?r ? II' k'.rgdmi <<f the Sun-ot Sea, All thnt is mortal of the well beloved Princess Like Like, the youngest sister of his Majesty King Kalakaua, will be deposited 011 the 2t>tli iust, side by side with tof the otiier personages who have g tie before to their last restiug place in the royal mausoleum. The Princess was 11 wotnau of more than ordinary intelligence, and had improved herself by much reading ami study, Her manners wore ea-y sin 1 graceful. She was the wife of A. 15. ('leghorn, atone lime a member of the King's Cabinet, an 1 by him had one child, a little girl now nine years of age. This little miss, provided she lives, will iu all probability take an important stand in tiie affairs of the kingdom, shcbciug in the iiuc of succession to the throne. r.ut notwithstanding the intelligence of Like Like?the constant intercourse she had had with the foreign population lor years and years ?there was yet a strain of natural superstition in her composition of which she could not rid horself. aril t> this, if reports he true, vc may now attribute her natiiaely taking off. For centuries hack, or a.' far us run tlie Hawaiian annals, there has 1 ccn a belief among the people that the erupt! >ns of Manna L< a and Kilnuea were the means t then by the g >ddess l'ele to show her di-plcasure at mortal events. It wa also held?an 1 the reccutly resurrected order cf Kahunas and soothsayers encouraged the belief?that the only means to appease the goddess' wrath was by the sacrifice of sonic of the royal family. Time and again, I when these awful voleauoes have deluged the surrounding country with their fiery How and shaken the coral islands to their centre, has the human sacrifice taken place, whether with the desired effect cr not the chronicles say not. The Volcano of M:.una Loa recently broke out lata u violent eruption. This eruption, the first in twenty-five yours, caused the supers! i- , tious natives to believe that Pelc ha I put her war paint on utul was .-'.towing Iter anger t?t the things lint ho. The natives front their i huts watched tlie lttri 1 light that .store ujvm , the mountain t [) titii knew that ti.e godle.-a was ft id.lug t ut her liry arms for it victim of the royai hloo i. The Kahunas, who Incc i latciy gained once more the favor of the King. 1 declared t !mt l'elc inns' ho ap| eased to urn si the fearful Junta which they said must emtio. ! They had not far to search for one who would < make the fearful sacrifice, and while the rutnb- ] ling of tin1 volenti? ut t lo awful thunder the .i Prince s Like I.ike trmounce I i > Iter people i that sit", the sister vf the King?tho nearest of 1 the throne?would lay >1 own Iter life to stop 1 the fcarfu How. She openly proclaimed that s she fclorie 1 to make a martyr of herself f.?r her country and hor people, and tliough in the I prime of life and wit it the prospect of a crown 1 before lur, -he ni i le her final preparations and ; lay down to await lite end.

Bu toll or will leave Columbia i for Houston, Texas, to locate the cite for one of ? the first ?f ihe oil mil's to be established by , ihe Southern Go'ton t?i! Company. Journeying in this direction they will select sites for the other mills which ir is proposed to put up this year. Mr. J dm Oliver in conversation with a representative of the Xctcs mil Courur to-night said.* The mills to bo built by the Southern Company will each ha^o a capacity of lot) tons of Cotton seed daily, or U6.JOO tons n year, the product of 6(1,00(1 bn; *. The s'ze of these projected mills may be j iged by the fact that tho present Columbia null, now controlled by the Oil Trust monopoly, has a daily capacity of scventy-iivo tons, an I yet is able to consume as much seed as any mill c ist of the Mississippi. The eight mills to be built this year will cost $l*J6,OOU each, making the outlay of the Company a million dollars in l^.ST. i.. i.n j ..i? i.. t. ? ... > ' -- -? . j ii i.i n.iv i ij >' oil ill"1, IU? spCCIBl machinery required fjr additional mills cannot be tunic I out this year. Mr. Oliver gave some interestiug information as to tiic method of organizing the new company. The capital stock was fixed at MM,< ')>. Rich of the half dozen individuals and firms organizing the company subscribe I for a certain quantity of stock, upon tlie agreement that a proportion of from oue-half to t-.vj-ih ri; thereof wis tj be appropriately placed byV.ieui. "The amount of money actually contributed by the organizers will bo about s_\O'J'),tMi0. That stun represents t'l j roto.it minimum amount of cash capital. Tho organizers will offer one-half or two-th'.r l.> of tiie 5b?,OJO,lH)i) of stock subscribed for to tho planters and business men ef the .South, so as to enable them to control the organization, if they wish to do so. No stock will be issued until it is paid for. If the South does not take this portion of the slock it will be sold to Northern parties who are now applying for it, aud who will enter the company in good faith. "It is so to bo a legitimate business enterprise, relying for its success upon its superior economy in the manufactures and tho good will of the Southern planters.
