A severe storm of wind, rain, and hall crossed this section last Mon day, considerable damage was done to some crops, so much SO, that they will have to he replanted. We learn that near Mrs Fran kio Hoi lams', there was hail in drifts, Tues day morning about eleven inches deep, which fell near live o'clock the evening Indore. The storm was confined however to a narrow scope. Notwithstanding these calami t ?es the young folks seem still tobe full of life. This was demonstrated Wednesday night by another'Rain bow," this time at Mr J. R. Willis. The others having proved suc cessfully, it was quite natural to ex pect the same of this one.

Mrs. Cleveland, the Cabinet and Diplomatic Corpse have been busy during the past few days discharging official and social duties to the Queen of the Sand wich Islands. The remainder of Washington Society has divided its time between the Jockey Club ra ces, the opera and the circus. Lach day there has been a full program for the entertainment of the Hawai In visitor, which upon hoing fully carried out found roy alty was much tntigued and will ing to rest. Tin; Queen weighs about two hundred pounds appa rently, aud Washington weather ls warmer than that which she hus recently felt, Judging from tho fact that she arrived from Chicago in a travelling garment of fur. The events of ber first day in Washington begun with a visit to the President at noon, accompan ied by her suit. All visitors had been excluded from the White House at ten o'clock, so that only a few correspondents wore in the corridor when the victoria, drawn hy white horses drew up under the portico. Mr. Carter, the Hawaiin minister in full official uniform of white cloth with a profusion ot gold braid, escorted the Queen neros the portico and corridors i ito the liluo parlor where th P.?.sidont and Mrs Cleveland, unattended, were waiting to receive the si ito. The President advanced and ta king her hand, bade her welcome to our country, presented Mrs Cleveland, ?md after the other members of the party had been In troduced by the interpreter, gener al conversation followed. Her majesty wore a long trimmed dress of black satin elaborately trimmed > with gold-braid, a black bonnet and carried a small fan of .sea-gulls down with a yellow cort re. At the close of tho visit, which did not oc cupy more than fifteen minutes, the royal party returned to their ! apartments at che Arlington, where ] an hour and a half later Mrs Clcvo ; land and the ladies of the Cabinet i returned \t\\o Queen's call. Two i hours, I believe,is the utmost limit . allowed by the royal etiquette for : returning visits. ? While at tho White Hous- Queen I Kapiolani looked very closely ut all of her surroundings, and ob served each person present. She has a grim cast countenance', and iu complexion is a clear brown, similar to und about as dark as a mulatto. At Hie dinner given by the IlttW niin minister in honor?of lils Queen, thc invitations were limited to of ficials and to those who had visited Honolulu, or whoso names were fa miliar to the visitors. Among those present wen? Secretaries Pa yard, Fairchild, Whitney and Kn I dicott, Postmaster General Vilus, Gen. Sheridan, Admirals Porter, steven??, Som pie, und Animen, Chief JtlSticC Waite, (?en. Ul'OOly and a few others, almost nil of whom were accompanied by ladies. When sight-si oing tit tho Capitol tho Queen showed special interest in the Hall of the House of Repre sentatives. This, she said was on account of the cordial reception ac corded to her husband there by Speaker Plaine, whoo His Majesty Kalakaua visited this city several years ago. Put she says the most delightful experience she has had in America was at the Deaf and Dumb college III this city. She is greatly interested in the work of odttcotlngjdeaf mutes,and thc Pres ident of Kondall tireen, knowing this, arranged an entertainment io her honor ami invited her. Expres sing hor delight with the exercises she made the remark that she wish ed she could have embraced all of UK; pupils. Today she visited tilts tomb of Washington with a dis tinguished party as escort, and this evening she is dining at the White House. Fx-Representative Harbour, of Virginia, who is himself a man of fine address and (defiant manners, was recently speaking of President Cleveland as a host, and was en thusiastic in his praise. He thinks he never knew a man occuping a high official position moro easy of 1 approach than Mr. Cleveland.
