old-beaten pathway, advocating pure religion,
total abstinence from intoxicating liquors,
■good morals, obedience to lawand doing good
to all men, believing with St. Paul, that God
has " made of one blood all nations of men,"
and with St. John that Christ died for all,
and furthermore, that whosoever will may
be saved with an everlasting salvation, " for
God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in Him, should not perish but have everlast-

some of the good people of Honolulu have
fancied they had sn excuse for visitingliquor
saloons. No longer does any excuse remain,
so far as the Fountain is concerned, for
" sparkling and bright" the water is now
constantly running, and hereafter we hope it
will never cease to flow, so long as the Reservoir up the valley does not fail.
We take an especial interest in the progress
of the Anglican Church in Madagascar, both on
account of the continuous and persistent opposition that has been made to the sending out of a
Bishop to that important field of labor, and also
from the fact of our having had some share in the
early training of the Clergyman whose work patiently carried on there amid no slight difficulties
is already being rewarded with success. The opposition, which hindered a Bishop from being
sent out, was successful also in keeping the

On Sunday morning, a Sunday
School exhibition was held at Fort Street
Church, on which occasion the church was
decorated with flowers and festoons. We
do not remember to have seen a finer display
of the kind than on this occasion. The orchestra was literally covered with flowers,
and the large bouquet on the organ was one
of the most elegant ever seen here. The
Sunday School exercises consisted of a lesson illustratingChrist as the Rose of Sharon.
A cross was prepared covered with a circle,
on which appeared the words "Jesus the
Rose." As each letter was brought up, a
class repeated a verse or verses of Scripture
applicable to it. At the conclusion of of the
recitation and singing, the Pastor, Rev. W.
Frear, delivered a short address appropriate
to the occasion.— Gazette.

The Rev. Mr. Murrkay's Lecture on
Missions.—ln our last issue we
published a letter from one of our correspondents, commenting upon this subject. We
notice that the religious newspapers are
sharply calling the Pastor of Park street
Church to account for his strange utterances.
A recent letter from that quarter contains
the following :
The rebound caused by the Key. Mr.
"
Murray's lecture is doing tenfold more good
in behalf of Missions, than the lecture has
done to discourage them—so seeming evil
under Providence is often made, to our surprise, productive of the greatest good."

The Chinese Mission.—As was stated in
a former number of this paper, the Young
Men's Christian Association of this city had
invited Aheong, (so well-known on these
islands as a missionary among the Chinese
several years ago),and thattheydesired him to
come here again and labor amongst his people, and while promising him a good support while thus laboring, were willing to become responsible for his passage here to the
amount of two hunered and fifty dollars.
Advices from San Francisco per Comet
showed that the above amount was rtlfcufficient to cover the expense of getting him
and family to Honolulu. So by vote of the
Association one hundred dollars more was
added, making it three hundred and fifty
dollars ; and it is now hoped that before the
the close of the present year, we may see
him at work amongst his countrymen and
laboring for their salvation.—[Com.

K7" It is our practice on the arrival of a
vessel of war to send off a file of the Friend
but it is not often we have the favor acknowledged as was done by the Ward Room officers of H. B. M. S. Teneelos, who sent to
the Home, a large bundle of English papers,
including Saturday Reviews, Illustrated
London News, etc. Such favors are always
very acceptable.
Editorial Amenities.—Perhaps we may
subject ourselves to attack and censure, but
we do wish our editorial neighbors would
conduct their discussions without descending
to the use of language which the same gentlemen would not employ in the intercourse
of life. Readers abroad, we are confident,
will draw inferences far from correct in regard to the tone of society at Honolulu.

“UncleSam.”
National nicknames have a curious origin;
and some one who claims to know, gives an
account of the origin of " Uncle Sam :"
Immediately after the declaration of the
last war with England, Ebbert Anderson, of
New York, then a contractor, visited Troy,
on the Hudson, where was concentrated, and
where he purchased a large quantity of pro-
vision—beef, pork, &c. The inspectors of
these articles at that place were Ebenezer
and Samuel Wilson. The latter gentleman
(invariably known as " Uncle Sam ") generally superintended in person a large number
of workmen, who on this occasion were employed in overhauling the provisions purchased by the contractor for the army. The
casks were marked "E. A.—U. S." This
work fell on the lot ola facetious fellow in
the employ of the Messrs. Wilson, who, on
being asked by some of his fellow-workmen
the meaning ef the mark (for the letters " U.
S." for United States, were then almost entirely new to them), said " he did not know
unless it meant Ebbert Anderson and 'Uncle
Sam ' Wilson." The joke took among the
workmen, and passed currently; and Uncle
Sam himself being present, was occasionally
rallied by them on the increasing extent of
his possessions. Many of IStse men being
of a character denominated h food for powder," were found shortly afterward following
the recruiting drum and pushing toward the
frontier lines, for the double purpose of meeting the enemy and of eating the provisions
they had lately put in good order. Their
old jokes, of course, accompanied them, and
before the first campaign ended, this identical one first appeared in print. It gained
favor rapidly, till it penetrated and was recognized in every part of our own country,
and will no doubt continue to do so while
the United States remains a nation. It originated precisely as above stated, and the
writer of the article distinctly recollects remarking, at a time when it first appeared in
print, to a person who was equally aware of
its origin, bow odd it would be should this
silly joke, originating in the midst of beef,
pork, pickles, mud nnd salt, becomes a na-

his way to our islands, where he proposes to

would acknowledge pur special indebtless to this gentleman, who has repeatedly
t to our address through the mail, books,
pamphlets and papers. If we may form our
| opinion of a man, from the character of books
which he writes and distributes, we should infer that Mr. Logan, has a heart of benevolence,
so large and generous, that, in it a planet
"
might swim," as was said of another good
man. Some years ago, Mr. Logan sent us
several copies of a book entitled, " Words
of Comfort for Parents' Bereaved of
Little Children." This is a volume of
nearly 600 pages, containing selections of
prose and poetry, relating to the death of infants. It is a most charming volume. Here
are to be found the very choicest effusions
ever written by divines and poets, relating
to the little ones taken away in the morning
of life. Mr. Logan appears to have been afflicted himself, and for consolation has
gathered the very choicest gems, from the
wide range of Christian literature, and republished them in this volume, respecting
which, the Quarterly North American Review thus remarks, " A richer treasury of
consolation in human words could hardly
be compiled." This volume is highly recommended by both English and American
writers.
By the hut mail we have received another
volume from Mr. Logan entitled, The
"
Early Heroes of the Temperance Reformation." This volume contains much iteresting and valuable information relating to the
temperance movement in America, Ireland,
Scotland and England. In his researches
he traces the origin of efforts for the suppression of intemperance to old Massachusetts.
It appears, that it was in the old Bay State
that the effort sis first made to put down
the Monster Intemperance." That was in
"
1811, or about sixty-three years ago. A society was formed in Massachusetts, for the
suppression of intemperance in 1813. The
Rev. Dr. Humphrey, subsequently President
of Amherst College, began to write and publish upon this subject, in 1813. It was in
1826, that Dr. Lyman Beecher preached and
published his " Six Sermons on Intemperance," which created such a moral revolution. It was this publication, remarks Mr.
Logan, that first gave Dr. Beecher a reputation in England.
Our limits will not allow us to notice this
work more extensively, but we rejoice that
the reformation from intemperance having
once started, has not ceased, and mew the

One of these laborers by the name of George

answer was, that the founders of the former

Excellency J.
Mott Smith, then
of Finance, an effort
was first made to
raise funds
among the mer- J
chants and citizens. It proved quite successful, and in less
than one week over forty thousand dollars
were pledged for the purpose. The sum
finally contributed by citizens was $42,5000,
for which bonds were issued, payable at the
end of five years from Oct. 16, 1871. It was
understood fhat the subscribers to the fund
were not to become shareholders in the
building, but that the risk of the enterprise
was to be assumed wholly by the GovernThey, however, were invited to

choose two persons to confer with the Cabinet regarding the erection of the hotel, and
the appropriation of the funds. Messrs. L.
„L. Torbert and C. H. Lewers were chosen
for this object.
Thus, mainly through the personal efforts
of the Minister of Finance, was the project
began, and the ways and means provided.
Soon after this Dr. Smith purchased from
the 'Catholic Mission, as a site for the hotel,
the Hooper premises, with the adjoining
lots known as the French premises on Alakea street, and the Friel premises on Richard street. The sum paid for these three
properties, including a costly iron fence on
the way from England, was ten thousand
melons, &c., etc.

dollars.
The entire building is lighted with gas,
and over two nundred burners are provided.
The gas is produced on the premises in a
large machine manufactured by the Pacific
Pneumatic Gas Company of San Francisco.
Although its cost was heavy—some four
thousand dollars—it has been found the
cheapest mode of lighting the house that
could have been devised.
The sleeping rooms are all furnisned with
new furniture, imported expressly for the
hotel. The beds are fitted with the best of
spring and hair mattrasses, and every thing
necessary for the comfort of the guests has
been provided.
Probably no building in Honolulu was
are to be had at
nearlly every seasons, and guests
ever put up more faithfully than this hotel,
every part of which was constructed with a
view to strength and permanency. The roof
is covered with the best English slates.
From the cupola, which surmounts it, a fine
view of the city and surrounding country
can be had, stretching from Diamond Head
on the south to the Waianae mountains,
twenty-five or thirty miles distant to the
north-west, and having the clear ocean in
front with the Konahuanui mountains in the
rear. Unless we except that from Punch
Bowl or the Bell Tower, no view in Honolulu surpasses it.
The dining-room, occupying the whole of
the north wing, excepting a small cut-off at
the west end, which can be used as a private
dining-room or reading room, is one of the
finest halls in the city. It is 75x32 feet in
size, and is capable of seating one hundred
and eighty guests at meals, or when needed
as an audience hall, a still larger number.
The cuisine department in this as in every
hotel in a new country is the most difficult
part to manage. When Mr. Herbert took
charge, he found it next to impossible to supply his tables with sufficient variety to suit
his guests. But after becoming acquainted
will generally
find the table well provided with meats, vegetables and fruits. Only fresh island butter
is served to the guests, and this article, as
well as eggs and milk, is always obtainable,
as choice as produced elsewhere. Ice is
mnnfactured in the city, and can generally
be obtained ; while for water, no purer or
healthier is found any where than what flows
through the government pipes from the clear
mountain streams of Nuuanu Valley.
The Hawaiian Hotel was leased by Mr.
Allen Herbert early in 1872, and since its
opening on the first of March in that year to
this date, about fourteen months, the names
of two thousand guests have been recorded

" 1 am happy to find you a student of nature."
From my earliest infancy I have been a
lover of flowers; and many of the happiest
hours of my life have been spent in flowering rambles. And I think with you that a
true lover of flowers cannot disbelieve in an
all-powerful Creator, and that God's own
works are the strougest proof of His existence.
When exploring the dense forest for lumbering purposes, I have had good chances
for beholding nature in all her lovliness and
grandeur. And I think it impossible for any
reflecting mind to traverse the wilds of nature, and not be inspired with devout feelings
towards the Author of them all. And 1
believe it was one of God's designs, in thus
beautifying the earth, to lead the minds of
men through them to himself.

Indulging in wrong acts obscures the
moral vision and places a barrier to that
sweet and confidential communion which
existed when reason controlled and governed
action.
And that barrier will continue to exist
until we yield obedience to natural law.
Obedience to which law places us in position to hold sweet communion with nature's
Uod, who sheds copiously upon all obedient children the dews of heaven. There is
a well spring of joy constantly flowing

which to unlock the human heart, charity
and mercy are aids by which it can be educated.
As darkness flees before light, so does ignorance vanish before knowledge. When a
man or woman feels sympathy for his or her
kind, charity for ignorance, mercy for sin, on
that heart is plainly traced the writings of
the Divine hand, and blessed is that life, its
" peace flows like a river."
Happiness is the earnest wish of us all,
then why not start on the right road which
leads to it ? Relieve the destitute, pour consolation into despairing hearts. There are various ways in which to bestow happiness
upon others; and bestowing upon others is
the surest way to bring happiness to ourselves. Money cannot make us happy, loving friends are powerless to create happiness
for us. It is within ourselves the " jewel
lies and fools are they who roam." Friends
may add greatly to our enjoyment and minister greatly lo our happiness, yet the seeds
of that happiness must be sown and take
root in our souls, or the genial rays of friendship cannot cause them to expand and bring
forth fruit.
There are many opinions as regards the
right road to happiness, but I belive the surest
way to find the right track is to look upward
and within ourselves for light. God's greatest
gift to man is reason and when he prostrates
that at the feet of another, and choses for his
guide a human being, he may expect a guide
prone to err, one fallible as all mortals are.
We may lose confidence in mortals, but
while the mountains stand and the oceans
roll we must ever believe in a supreme Power, a grand Creator, whose voice through nature speaks plainly to our reason ; whose
providing care and love call forth our deepest admiration, humblest veneration, profoundest love.
All we see, hear, and feel, only tell us in
unmistakable words that God is everywhere,
and happy are those who understand natnre's
language.

Agassiz's Compliment to America.—We
have often thought that Professor Agassiz
complimented the United States in a manner
peculiarly grand! When the Emperor of
France, Napoleon 111. ivnited Agassiz to return to Europe and prosecute his Scientific
Researches in Paris, Agassiz declined the
honor, replying that he considered the New
World a much better field for enterprise and
labor than the Old World,
this was true, as regarded hiajfl
island.
"As Mr. Buffett is not here at present, I
write to thank you and the many kind friends
at Honolulu, who are quite unknown to us
personally, for sending us the things that we
are most in need of. Mr. Buffett has left us
for Norfolk Island, perhaps you may have
heard of this before now.
" It is sweet to think that though separated far from each other we have friends at
Honolulu and elsewhere, who are interested
in T>ur welfare, temporal and spiritual. You
said in your letter that a few Sunday school
books were forwarded, which are very acceptable. We have received the articles
from H. B. M. S. Cameleon all safe, but as
we are quite too busy to unpack them we
cannot know what the different articles are,
but as it is, we heartily thank you for your
kindness in thus caring for our wants.
"We have had a very long drought, so
that we could plant uothing, indeed every
thing seemed to be scorched up. But God
in His great mercy has given us rain, for
he takes care of those who trust in him.
" Our young people have a Mutual Improvement Society on Wednesday evenings
instituted on the 10th of June last, we hope
and trust that the blessing of the God of
Bethel will rest upon them. On Sunday
evenings we have a singing school for sacred music which is quite a delightful recreation.
Two of onr young men are gone with
Mr" Buffett to Norfolk Island in the whale
ship Sea Ranger, Capt. Allen ; we are expecting them back every day."
Letter from a Sailor.—In our issue for
October, we published a letter from a sailor
who had passed through many vicistiudes on
board United States vessels of war and merchant ships. At last he returned to England,
but finding a shore life not quite to his mind
he embarks for India via the Suez Canal.
By the last mail we received a letter from
the young man dated Scind Delhi Sc Pun"
jaub Railway, Lahore, Northern India," where
he is engaged as assistant engineer on the
railroad, with a fair prospect of promotion.
He intimates that hereafter, we may expect
letters descriptive of that part of the world.

Pure religion and undeflled before God, the Father, is this:
To visit thefatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspottedfrom the world.
EdabioCtemyhfY.M.C.A.
The following essay was read before the
Young Men's Christian Association of this
city, on Friday evening, Jan. 23d, and elicited interesting remarks from Messrs. Dole,
Lyons and Walker :
Lotteries.—Webster gives the detinition
of a lottery " as a scheme for the distribution
of prizes by chance. :i Another author defines it as "a sort of gaming contract, by
which for a valuable consideration, one may
by favor of the lot obtain a prize of a value
superior to the amount or value of that
which he risks."
The true definition in plain English should
read thus, a method of popular gambling.
We read that lotteries have often been resorted to by Governments as a method of replenishing their exhausted treasuries, also by
charitable institutions as an easy and successful way of procuring funds for public
good. Lotteries are not of late origin, for
on investigation we find that the Romans, as
far back as 1530, adopted this plan of raising funds for state purposes.
The merchants of Italy resorted to this
method of disposing of their-merchandise, as
far back as the middle ages.
The government of France, is said to have
derived, between 1816 and 1828, the enormous sum of 14,000,000 francs yearly by
lotteries. In Germany the lotteries were under
the supervision of the government, the pro-
ceeds of which were used as a means of supporting workhouses, and other institutions of
a similar nature. The first English lottery
on record took place in London 1569, at the
west end of St. Paul's Cathedral, the proceeds of which were for the purpose of rebuilding the harbors of the kingdom ; it is
stated that there were 40,000 tickets disposed
of at ten shillings each. From that time this
method of gambling continued in popularity,
until 1778, when it was found that there
were no less than 400 lottery offices in that
kingdom, and that the evils of the system
soon the increase, that it began to attract
the attention of Parliament, and an Act was
passed obliging each office to pay a license
of fifty pounds per annum, and through this
tax the number was decreased from 400 to 40.
Lotteries have been established in the
United States from the time of the earliest
settlement of the conutry. Through this
agency, funds for the erection of colleges,
hospitals and other charitable purposes have
been raised, which could not have been so
easily accomplished by any other means.
Though the lottery was denounced by an assembly of ministers in Boston, in 1699, "as a
cheat," and its agents, as pillagers " of the
" generally popular,
people. Lotteries were
till 1833 when a society was formed in
Pennsylvania, expressly to suppress them.
In 1834 this society issued an address to the
public, showing the evils resulting from lotteries. It was through the efforts of thia society that many of the States took legislative measures of prohibition. Notwithstanding that lotteries have been so popular
throughout Europe and the United States,
we find thateach country mentioned has prohibited them as far as possible, by laws, and
even in some States have inflicted punishment on those who were transgressors. One
of the principle reasons why the lottery has
been branded as an evil to a country, is because of the disastrous results to a large part
of the community who can ill-afford to bear
them. Whenever a lottery takes place we
generally find that it is mostly patronized by
the poorer classes rather than by the rich.
Such are drawn away from their regular and
legitimate business ; in hopes that they may
be made suddenly rich by the lucky lot falling to them. As no lottery takes place
without a large percentage of profit to the
agent, that amount is procured and withheld
from a class who can least afford the loss,
and suffering to individuals and families is
the consequence. Where lotteries of magnitude take place, such as the one held a few
years ago in California by permission of the
legislature, for the benefit of the Mercantile
Library Association, the evils are greater,
not only creating intense excitement in the
minds of those who participate in the chances, and thus unfitting them for mental efforts in business ; but ilso holding out greater temptations to those who hold positions of
trust, to use moneys that are not theirs for
the purchase of chances, hoping thereby to
make a gain for themselves, and then to return that which was so unlawfully borrowed.
Many such cases took place in said lottery
and many young men lost character and
were ruined by that lottery. Those who are
so unfortunate as to have one of the lucky
numbers and draw rich prizes, are not often
benefited thereby; but generally illustrate
the old proverb, " Easy come, easy gone'"
To those who say, see what a benefit the
proceeds have brought, we will answer that
they are not equal to the evils they have left
behind. We find at the present day lotteries in many forms, and even held out as a
temptation to children. For the prize candy
system, is nothing more or less than a disguised lottery. In fairs, the grab-box, where
the grabs are of unequal value, so as to stimulate their sale, also where a cake is sold by
the piece one of which contain a ring or coin,
these are also forms of lotteries, but many
countenance them under the argument,
that the proceeds are all for the good
cause," and therefore there is no harm. But
is there no harm in thus instilling the principles of the lottery, in homcepathic doses
sugar coated sweetened with benevolence ?
Now that we have looked at the lotteries
of other countries let us bring the subject
home and ascertain as to whether they and
their influences have crept so far away in
the Pacific as we are.
"
come a favorite way of disposing of goods,
and found very attractive to the natives; it
is unnecessary to speak of its influence on
them. If this system increases as it has
done the evil effects will soon be clear to us
all. Is it not time to look to this subject in
reference to the future ? We have now no
direct law against lotteries, but would it not
be well, that we as members of the Young
Men's Christian Association should do all in
our power to ward oflf this nuisance ? Now
that the Legislature is soon to convene here
in Honolulu, should not we use what ifluence we have for direct legislation on this
subject ? If lotteries have been branded by
larger, wiser and older nations as an unmitigated evil, the day is not far distant when
we shall arrive at the same conclusion if
they are permitted to continue. Let us
therefore do battle against this evil and
everything that has a downward tendency in
our land.— Topic Com. for Jantianj.
We are glad to see the effort made here
in Honolulu, to stop the sale of liquor to natives, and trust no pains will be spared to
bring the offenders to justice. We could
wish, however, that there were more of those
now concerned in the liquor traffic, that
would follow the example of the landlord in
the following :
Scene from Life.—A young man entered
the bar-room of a village tavern, and called
for a drink.
" No," said the landlord, " you have too
much already. You have had delirium
tremens once, and I cannot sell you any-
more."
He stepped aside to make room for a
couple of young men who had just entered,
and the landlord waited upon them very politely. The other had stood by silent and
sullen, and when they had finished he walked up to the landlord, and thus addressed
him :
" Six years ago, at their age, 1 stood
where these young men now are. I was a
man with fair prospects. Now, at the age of
twenty-eight, I am a wreck, body and mind.
You led me to drink. In this room I formed the habit that has been my ruin. Now
sell me a few glasses more, and your work
will be done. 1 shall soon be out of thjfl
way; there is no hope for me. But
can be saved ; they may be men again. Do
not sell it to them. Sell to me and let me
die, and the world will be rid of me ; but for
Heaven's sake, sell not a drop more to
them! "
thetffi
The landlord listened, pale and trembling.
Setting down his decanter, he exclaimed :
it does not take long to examine ourselves "God helping me, this is the last drop I
and to find that verily we are not free from will sell to any one !" And he kept his word.

This vessel has again returned to our port,
after making another of her most useful
cruises among the islands, reefs and shoals,
known and unknown in the Pacific. Her
late cruise has been along the Line, or over
that part of the Pacific where are situated
Christmas Island, Palmyra Island, Washington Island and Fanning's Island. From a
rapid glance at the track of the vessel as
drawn out upon the chart, we should infer
that a pretty thorough exploration has been
made. Capt. Skerrett and his officers found
it to be no holiday employment, for example
to survey Christmas Island in a sailing vessel, as it was well known that island was
found to be laid down far from correctly on
the Admiralty Chart, published as late as»
1870. This is the island where so many
vessels have been totally wrecked during the
last hilf century. We recall the following:
A Danish ship, name unknown, Pulsford,
Briton, J. C. Frtmotit, Maria Helena
and Mozart.
It was on Christmas Island that Past Midshipmen Stevens, (now Commodore Stevens)
with his wife and son (now Thos. Stevens
Master of the U. S. Navy), and several
other passengers were wrecked in the Maria
Helena, on the 20th of December, 1847,
bound for New Bedford. They were there
detained until the following Spring, in the
mean time a small vessel was constructed
from the wreck and dispatched to Honolulu.
Here there was found the French vessel of
war Sarcelk, which immediately left and
rescued all those upon the island.
If any one will compare the old Charts with
the new ones as drawn by the draftsman of
the Portsmouth, Mr. Bayer, be- will

apparatus for taking deep sea-soundings, and
the instruments for doing this work, appear
to be very simple and admirably adapted to
the purpose. A wheel, not larger than a
tolerably sized grindstone, has wound upon
it from 4 to 5 miles of No. 22 steelpiano wire,
weighing in water about 12 lbs to the statute
mile, with a breaking strain of from 210 to
230 lbs. The Brooke detaching apparatus
and sinker is used—the latter an S inch
aheet weighing 55 lbs, with a hole 2 \ inches
in diameter bored through the centre. At
every cast the sinker is detached and left on
the bottom—milestones perhaps for the geologist of the distant future.
Specimens of bottom mud are brought up
every time in cups or cylinders devised by
Com. G. E. Belknap. The sounding drum
or reel with dynamometer was invented by
Sir Wm. Thomson of Glasgow University.
The Tuscarora under command of Com.
Belknap, left San Diego, California, and
made a* straight course as possible for Honolulu, not deviating more than 12 or 15
miles from as straight line. The distance is
2,200 miles. It is designed to " sound " once
every forty miles. During the passage of
the vessel 62 soundings were made. At
the 49th cast, after leaving the American
coast the sounding was made at 3,054 fathoms. The mean depth between the 1900
fathoms curve near San Diego to the 2100
fathoms curve close to Oahu was found
to be 2,562 fathoms.
Beginning at the above mentioned 1900
fathoms curve latitude 30 ° 43' North, longitude 119 p 28' West, the depth increased
494 fathoms in a distance of 600 miles, the
next 1050 miles the water only deepens 286
fathoms. While the 500 miles further on
and approaching the islands the increase is
3515 fathoms. The extraordinary depths of

Palmyra Island has always beenlaid down
upon charts of the Pacific as only one body
of land or one island, whereas it was found
to be made up of about sixty islets, large and
small, including three lagoons. The opening is to the westward. The islets are low,
the highest not over six feet above the water.
Shortly after leaving Honolulu the Portsmouth searched, in vain, for Papapa Rock,
reported by Capt. Gellett and others, as existing about sixty miles S. S. W. from Kawaihoa, Niihau. The position of Papapa
examined was that obtained from Capt.
Gellett, and the English Charts. Capt. James
Smith said he had seen it, but gave no position.
We can hardly find words to express our
estimation of the importance of the work in
which the Portsmouth is engaged. We
only regret that tne Secretary of the Navy
could not have furnished a steamer instead
of a sailing vessel. It will be a most rare
good fortune if the Portsmouth is not laid
up on some reef or shoal, before this work is
completed. We once made a cruise in the
Morning Star among the low islands and
reefs of Micronesia, where the Portsmouth
is yet to cruise, and we can testify that dangers are neither few nor easy to be avoided
in a sailing vessel, hence the more reason
why these islands and reefs should be accurately and thoroughly explored and surveyed. More
vessels ought to be engaged in the work and
kept at it for the next ten years. War ships
in times of peace could not surely be more
usefully employed. Such work will make

These few memoranda will indicate that
no pains are spared to make an accurate
survey of the ocean's depths. Com. Belknap
and his able corps of officers appear to be enthusiastic in the details of this arduous undertaking, working night and day; for it n-quires the work to be carried on at night
as well as the day. On the departure of the
vessel she will carry forward the same system
of observation, during her passage to Japan,
touching at the Bonin Islands. Thence
she will proceed homeward via the Alleutian Islands to Puget Sound, and thus com-plete a large circle of deep sea soundings.
When reflecting upon the contributions
to the cause of science, which such a
cruise as that of the Titscarora is to make
during her passage across the Pacific, we
cannot refrain from expressing our admiration of the enterprise, and our regret that
more of our vessels of war are not engaged in
such noble enterprises. It would surely be
most advantageous to the cause of science
and commerce, while it gives, during times
of peace, most useful and elevating employment to the officers of the navy, thus bringing into practical use the knowledge acquired at Annapolis Navy School.
Changes in the Population of New England.
For two hundred years after the settlement of New England or from 1620 to 1820,
there were but few changes in the population
of New England. There was a purely
English type to the inhabitants. During the
last half century a rapid change has been in
progress. Thousands and tens of thousands
have gone forth to settle new States and Territories. Ohio, Illinois, Michigan,lowa,Minnesota and California have received large accessions to thoir population from New England. # The vacuum has been filled up, not
by the natural growth of the original English stock, but by large numbers from Ireland,
Canada, England and other countries.
A most vivid picture of this change or
revolution may be witnessed in some of the
smaller towns. By a late mail we received
a " Memorial Discourse," by the Rev. W. P.
Paine, D. D., on the fortieth anniversary of
his settlement over the Congregational
Church in Holden, Massachusetts. This
town happens to be our native place, and of
course we have taken special delight in
reading this discoure. As this
"
t^Himent
•
�I H h KKIK.MJ.
contains so many facts relating to the change
of population in that small township, we
deem some ofthem worthy of notice, because
they are illustrative of New England at
large. Holden is situated in the very center
and heart of Massachusetts, and was formerly the North Half of Worcester, from which
it was set off in 1741, hence it has been a
township by itself, for one hundred and
thirty-three years. It is a good specimen or
type of a New England country town. In
the year 1800, it had a population of 1,142;
in 1820, a population of 1,402; 1840, 1,718,
and a|«he last general census of the United
Stalk in 1870, we find that its population
had increased to 2,062. A fifth part of this
population or 421, of the present inhabitants
were persons of foreign birth.
The following extracts from Dr. Paine's
discourse will illustrate the above statements:
"The present pastorate has embraced a
period more difficult than any preeceeding
one in New England's history, to keep in
vigorous and progressive operation religious
institutions in country towns. Forty years
ago rail-roading was in its infancy, and had
done little to stimulate business. There
were not many centers of trade and industry,
or of population, except in few cities on the
sea-board. Agriculture was the chief employment in rural districts; and having little Western competition, was profitable and
generally satisfactory. There being little to
invite young men and women to leave the
localities of their nativity, they remained at
or near their early homes. Seldom did the
precious old homestead go out of the family,
but descended from father to son for generations, and besides, those were days of larger
families than are now usually found in our
native American homes. The result of this
state of things was a country population in
almost every place, at least holding its own
and in most localities increasing. And the
men and women of those days were of strong
and sterling character, with the religious element largely developed, who cheerfully sustained, by their contributions, influence and
presence, the institutions of the Church,
providing also funds for schools which were
attended by a large number of sturdy scholars who were taught to obey rules and to
conduct themselves with propriety. Such
essentially was the state of things in this
place at the commencement of my pastorate.
There was not thena foreigner in the town, and
nearly the entire population of suitable age
and condition, attended public worship somewhere and rendered pecuniary assistance in
sustaining the same. Probably there are
not now more than twenty-five dwelling
houses (certainly less than thirty) in the entire town, occupied by those, or their descendants, who inhabited them at the time
of my settlement. The family name has
gone from them, and not a few have changed
ownership many times. This is a marvellous change compared with proceeding periods of the same length. It would doubtless

name. It may also be mentioned, as indicative of the great changes which a series of
years may produce in a community, that
not more than eight or nine couples, sustaining the relation of husband and wife, who
resided in Holden at the time of my settlement are now here with the union undissolved by death. But let it by no means be
understood that all changes, which have occurred, should be put to the account of loss.
Many of them have materially swelled the
column of gain. This is doubtless true to a
greater extent here than in many places
where the percentage of change has been the
same as ours. But mutability like this, in
parochial affairs, cannot but render all religious interests comparatively uncertain and
unsystematic, being the occasion of anxious
watching and careful planning, and not unfrequently laying heavy burdens upon the
ready and willing. I wish here to bear witness that during my ministry, and to this
day there have been a goodly number of
men and women, both older and younger,
who have evinced a highly commendable
degree of interest in sustaining the institutions of religion in this community, and in
making generous and cheerful provision for
the wants and comfort of the pastor.
" Dividing the forty years into decades, I
married during the first ten years one hundred and twenty-three couples ; the second
ten, one hundred and three; the third ten,
fifty-five, and the fourth ten, sixty-seven.
The first ten years I married more than during the last twenty. This difference is
largely due to a change in population, in respect to both age and nationality.
" I have attended more than u thousand
funerals, which have taken me to a large
portion of the dwellings of this town. In
running my thoughts over the place I indeed
find scarcely any, except a few more recently erected, to which I have not been called
on this sad errand, and to many over and
over again.
" I have preached about four thousand
sermons, and spent with you more than five
years and a half of time in Sabbaths. I have
administered the sacrament of the Lord's
Supper about two hundred and forty times.
While I had strength to devote much time
and labor to interests outside of pastoral
works, 1 regarded it both a duty and priviledge to afford direct aid in the promotion of
the prosperity of our schools, both common
and select. I served as chairman of the
school committee thirty-four years, and derived much satisfaction from the exercises of
the school-room, and the intimate acquaintance 1 formed and kept up with the successive classes of scholars. There are not now
nearly so many who attend our schools as
there were forty years ago, and so on for
twenty or thirty years after my settlement.
In several districts the present number is not
half so large as in those days, and moreover

fifth in the Winter and Spring of 1843, the
sixth in the Spring of 1950, the seventh in
the Spring of 1851, the eighth in the Winter and Spring of 1866, the ninth in 1857-8
and the tenth in 1889. A very large proportion, indeed nearly all who have united
with the church during my pastorate were
the fruits of these revivals. The church has
not been altogether unproductive in some
special fruits. At least eleven of her sons
have received a college education during
this period, and several others previously.
At least seven have become ministers of the
Gospel and seven young women have married ministers within this time. Since the
commencement of the enterprise of Foreign
Missions two from this church have gone on
missions to Turkey, two to Africa, three to
the Sandwich Islands, two to the Indians of
our own country and two to labor for the
Freedmen. 0( this number all, with two
exceptions, have gone from us during my pastorate. Few country churches or indeed
city churches can furnish a record of numbers for such service equal to this."
There are three churches in the town,
viz: Congregational, Baptist and Catholic.
The existence of a Catholic Church in a
small New England town, indicates most
forcibly the change in the population, for a
half century ago there were but few Catholic
churches in any part of New England. The
rapid increase has been to accommodate the
large accession to the population from Ireland and Canada. Large numbers of French
Catholic Canadians have come to New England to labor on the farms and work in the
manufacturing villages. During a visit to
our native town in 1869, a native of Ireland
informed us that at least thirty farms in the
town had been purchased by his countrymen
from the Emerald Isle."
"
In view of such rapid and radical changes
as are now in progress, it becomes a question of serious moment, What is to be the
"
future of New England f " Although we
have left that part of the world and never
expect again to make it our home, still we
feel as we have always felt, a deep interest
in its history, institutions and prosperity.
We find our thoughts continually recurring to
our native town, so cosily nestled among the
hills of New England and under the shadow
of Wachusett Mountain. It was so named
after Samuel Holden, a director of the Bank
of England, London merchant, and member
of Parliament. The family was decidedly
Puritanic, and took much interest in the
prosperity of New England. After his
death, from an estate of £80,000, •• Holden
Chapel " was built in Cambridge, Massachu-
pupils then continued their connection with
schools to a later and more mature period of
life than is customary now, which it seems setts.

was, a volume of one hundred and and fifty
pages. In those early historical researches,
we found our lines of investigation continually running back to old colonial times, and
from thence to Old England, called by
Hawthorne, the American's Old Home."
It was a study of New England history,
which made us feel so strong a desire to
visit England, and when that privilege was
granted us, we felt more and more, that
England and America were linked by family
bonds and kindred ties, which ought never
to be sundered by the hoarse sounds of war
or any other cause. While looking back
with su<;h loving regard to New England
and to Old England, our love for " Hawaii
nei "is strong and abiding. Here we have
found a pleasant home, and we feel strongly
attached to the people of these islands, both
aboriginal and foreign. The present troubles
which have come upon the people and kingdom, only make us feel a strong desire that
these clouds of adversity may soon pass
away and the sun of prosperity may again

Our Late King.
The people's King has passed away. We
do not wonder that they loved him. There
were noble traits in his character, although
blurred by foibles. He never failed to express his sympathy for the common people,
and his will—an outline of which will be
found in another column—is in beautiful
harmony with his democratic principlesThen too, his marked affection for his mother
and desire that his remains should finally repose near hers, in the old Mission Cemetery,
will always be spoken of with admiration.
May his successors profit by their reflections
upon his eventful but short reign of only one
year. Peace to his memory.
Our sympathies go out towards his venerable and honored father, and long may his
kindly presence be seen amongst us.

Christianity their better minds yield, at
least, a passive assent to it. And very many
of them have proven by their actions that
they yield a hearty assent. Only a few

FRIEND,
y a late mail, we received an interesting
formerly
r from Japan. Tbe
English teacher at Kauai, Maui and at
Hilo. He went to Japan hoping to find employment as a teacher, and although his
prospects are not as bright as he anticipated,
he still finds encouragement to remain there
as a teacher. He writes from Kobe under
date of Dec. 3d, 1873:
" I arrived in Japan at u rather unfavorable time just as the nation was passing
through a financial crisis. Last year the
demand for foreign goods by the native Japanese was very great. It was considered
as a badge of polite distinction to dress in
foreign clothes; it was supposed by many
that the whole nation was about to adopt
European dress. The native merchants
stocks of foreign

goods. The foreign merchants also ordered
large stocks on their own accounts. Many
millions of dollars worth of goods were thus
imported into the country to supply an imaginary want which never had an existence. earnest searchers after truth. A similar

Many verses are known, which, if repeated
aloud, are credited with curing cramp, burns
and other bodily troubles. When you have
whooping cough, apply for a remedy to the
first person you meet riding on a piebald
horse—a ceremony that Dr. Letsom, the
physician, was fated more than once to become acquainted with. Amulets hung in a
little bag around the neck, are very widely
credited with the power of warding off diseases ; the list of such substances is an ample one, but need not be given here. The
anodyne necklace, which was a profitable
affair for one Dr. Turner, in the early part
of the present century, consisted of beads
made of bryony root; it was believed to assist in cutting" the teeth of infants around
whose neck it was hung. One peculiar kind
ofamulet is the phylactery, a bit of parchment on which a few sacred words have
been written ; if worn on the person it is a
safeguard against disease and calumny. The
Jews in the East used to carry such an amulet written with a Hebrew verse from the
Bible, and some of the Mohamedans with an
Arabic sentence from the Koran. A horseshoe is a perennial favorite as a harbinger of
success. Dr. James picked up a horseshoe
on Westminister bridge, and put it in his
pocket; the same evening he made a commercial arrangement concerning his famous
fever powders, which he ever afterwards attributed to the horseshoe."— All the Year
Round.
Discoveries
at Troy.—The
reading pub-
lic has recently been much startled by the
explorations of Mr. Schliemann at Troy, in
Turkey, or Asia Minor. He reports to have
come upon the very ruins of the Palace of
Priam, King of Troy. We were somewhat
surprised to learn from a letter recently received from a Professor in a New England
college, that Prof. Schliemann is an American citizen. We quote as follows :
" Prof. Schliemann is an American citizen, having made his fortune in California,
and having married a Greek wife, now lives
in Athens, and has offered his treasures for
a Museum to the Greek Government, if they
will permit him to exhume Delphi and
Olympia."
Will of the Late King.-The late King
left a will, which was made June 7, 1871.
It leaves his personal property to his father
absolutely; his real estate to his father for
life, and failing heirs of his body, after the
decease of his father, the real estate is devised to three trustees, to be appointed by the
judges of the Supreme Court, who are to

behind this army ready to take its place. It

What in God's name are they fighting
for? The privilege of pleasing an appetite
—of conforming to a social habit—of filling
sixty thousand homes with shame and sorrow—of loading the public with the burden
of pauperism—of crowding our prisons with
felons—of detracting from the productive industries of the country—of ruining fortunes
and breaking of hopes—of breeding wretchedness and disease—of destroying both body
and soul in hell before their time.
The prosperity of the liquor interestcovering every department of it—depends
entirely on the maintenance of this army.
It cannot live without it. It never did live
without it.
" Does any sane woman doubt that her
sex are suffering a thousand times more from
rum than from any political disability?
" The truth is that there is no question
before the American people to-day that begins to match in importance the Temperance
question. The question of American Slavery was never any thing but a baby by the
side of this; and we prophesy that within
ten years—if not within five—the whole
country .will be awake to it, and divided
upon it. The organirations of the liquor
interest, the vast funds at its command, the
the universal feeling among those whose
business is pitted against the national prosperity and the public morals these are
enough to show that, upon one side of this
matter, at least, the present condition of

is to be a great struggle, and is preparing to
meet it. People both in this country and in
Great Britain are beginning to see the enormity of this business—are beginning to realize that Christian civilization is actually
poisoned at its foundation, and that there
can be no purification of it until the source
of the poison is dried up."— Scribner's

History of
:
There are lying on our table two remarkable books, written by two New England
Divines and scholars. One book relates to
men and their education, while the other relates to the horse and his training. Both
writers are men of the very highest standing—the one an old Professor in Amherst
College, and the other Pastor of Park street
Church, Boston.
Books written by such
authors claim attention, whatever may be
the topic upon which they may write.
We shall first notice the volume by Prof.
Tyler. During the past half century, Amherst College has become one of the leading
colleges of the United States. It now numbers its graduates by thousands, and they occupy positions of influence in all parts of the
country, while many have gone a?, missionaries,
to foreign lands. Having been connected with
this institution from 1832 to 1836,and knowing personally so many ofitsprofessorsandstudents, we feel prepared to express our opinion upon the merits of this book. The- author has not failed to gather a vast amount

Do “Americans Hate England?”
We are sorry to learn, from reading an address of Prof. Goldwin Smith, as reported in
the London Mail, ol January 16th, that,
this gentleman should return to his native
land, and in a public address make such a
broad and unqualified statement, as thisy
that " Americans hate England." We hare
carefully read the whole speech, and endeavored to see if the harshness and uglinessof the utterance could not be modified. We
are sorry to say that we have failed to do so..
Such assertions from such men. do a vast
amount of injury. Prof. Smith was formerly a Professor at Oxford, England, and was
invited to " Cornell " to lecture upon history.
From his speech, we lenrn that he makes
Catiada his place of residence, but visits
" Cornell" to deliver his lectures. Now for
a gentleman holding such a position to return to his native land and make such assertions respecting the land of his partial adoption, is in the very highest degree, uncalled
for, because untrue. We shall be surprised
if Americans do not highly resent such an
imputation. He remarks, that he is puzzled
to account for the feeling. We are more
puzzled to account for the utterance of such
an opinion by one occupying Prof. Smith's
position. He complains that the hatred ismore intense in the Eastern States than inthe West. Does Prof. Smith mean to assert that the inhabitants of Boston, NewYork and Philadelphia hate England more
than those of the valley of the Mississippi ?■
Away, with such criticism on Americans r
the speaker is ignorant of the people he is
traducing. The Americans no more hate
England than do Englishmen hate America.
The inhabitants of both countries may laughand joke about " John Bull and Brother
" "
Jonathan," but to assert that the inhabitants
of the two nations live in hatred of each
other is foolish and untrue ! We wonder ii
Prof. Smith has not on some occasion been
slighted and become thereby soured? Perhaps he may not have always received that
attention from the literary men of America
that he deserved. The Rev. Dr. Thompson,
formerly of New York, and now of Berlin,
remarks in his late Thanksgiving address, as

Chinese Coolie Trade.—The Chinese
government is becoming awake to the condition of its people abroad. For years pasf
the whole population, from the-lowest to the
highest, have been increasingly irritated by
the enormities of the coolie traffic ; but the
government has, until lately, felt itself too
much preoccupied, if not too weak, to attempt to remedy abuses that recalled the
horrors of the African slave trade. The
chief seat of the traffic has been the Portuguese settlement at Macao, and the chief
market for the unhappy coolies Havana,
where they were depended on to indemnify
the Spanish planters for the loss of slave labor. For some months, however, the Chinese
authorities have thrown such difficulties in
the way of the export of coolies that the
traders have found themselves greatly embarrassed, and the Spanish Minister has
complained of the proceeding as a breach of
faith and a violation of the " Coolie-Convention "of 1866. As the Chinese base their
action on reports of unfair and brutal treatment to which their people are subjected in
Cuba, the Spanish Minister proposed that
they should satisfy themselves by sending a
joint commission of inqutry ; and they have
fallen in with the idea so far as to dispatch a
commission of their own, consisting of Chenlonpin, chief of the Educational Mission now
in the United States, and Messrs. Macpherson and Huber, prominent members of the
Customs service. Whoever desires to know
the present status of the coolie question, together with harrowing details of its past history, will find the desired information in the
July number of the Westminster Beview, in
an article ascribed to Sir R. Alcock, late
British Minister at Pekin. And when the
correspondence of our own Minister, Mr.
Low, is published, your readers will find
therein not only energetic representation, to
our government on the subject, but strong
documents addressed to the Chinese authorities with a view to encouraging them in
their opposition to a system of contract labor
which has been so shamefully abused. If
America and England stand together in
their opposition to this new slave trade, it,
like its predecessor, will soon be extinguished

THE FRIEND,
The Lost Watch.
A SKETCH FOR SAILORS.
When 1 was first married we were living
in Liverpool. I was on board one of Her
Majesty's ships as " able seaman." I am
sorry to confess it—l was then addicted to
drink; in fact, would be called an habitual
drunkard. At the end of each voyage I
spent two-thirds of my hard-earned money,
neglecting my wife and children.
On my return from the last voyage I ever
took, [ gave myself up more than ever to my
evil passion. 1 had been drinking with my
the " Ship," a favorite rencompanions
dezvous for the sailors and their associates.
I cannot say at what time I returned home,
not being in a condition to observe the time.
When I awoke the next morning with a
splitting headache and a burning thirst, 1
found that I had lost my watch and all my
money. My conscience smote me for my
unmanly and sinful conduct; but the demon
had too firm a hold on me to give the struggle up so easy. So, without a word or look
at my wife, I left the house, knowing at the
time they had no means to find food, and
that I had cruelly and foolishly squandered
that which would have obtained them plenty.
The loss of my watch, which my poor mother bequeathed to me in her last moments,
begging me to keep it for her sake, and,
above all, to abstain from intoxicating drinks,
troubled me greatly. Her words seemed
again to be ringing in my ear?.
I wandered about the streets for some
time in the vain hope of finding the watch.
After inquiring at the public-house in which
I had passed the previous evening, I resumed
my wanderings, with no tidings of it. At
last, wretched and tired, I gave up the
search, and leaned against a post at the corner of a street, with my arms folded and my
eyes bent upon the ground.
I was mentally reviewing my past conduct,
and forming resolutions to alter my course
for the future—resolutions which I had,
alas ! often formed and often broken—when
a kind and genit»l voice interrupted my reverie with the following greeting : " Well,
how do you do, Mr. J
? This is the
first opportunity I have had of seeing you
at
•nee your return
home."
I raised my eyes, and recognized the benevolent face of a minister who had been accustomed to visit my poor wife and the children, and whom 1 had sometimes talked
with. I could not but confide to him the
loss of my watch and money. He had often
endeavored to gain my consent to join the
temperance cause, but so far without success.
I had learnt before of his many acts of charity to my wife and family. I was indebted
to him, and had for him a real respect. I
was prepared to receive any counsels this
time in my discomfit and grief.

" Ifheit were

with a bland smile, " would you

"

" It is not

it, I would never touch drink again for the
remainder of my existence."
" Then," said he, " you are henceforth a
teetotaller," producing the very watch from
his vest pocket. My surprise and joy were
APKIL,
1874
unbounded. In spite of the people about, I
could not restrain my tears of gratitude at
the recovery of my mother's watch.
The way in which the benevolent minister
became possessed of it is easily explained.
Like most temperate men, he was an early
riser. Taking his morning walk, as usual,
he passed the aforesaid " Ship," where he
found the watch, but not the money. The
latter perhaps my shipmates could account
for. He recognized the watch at once, having seen it in my possession many times
before.
In the course of the morning he had been
to the wretched hovel we then called our
home, learned from my wife my neglect and
their want, which he provided for, and then
he started in search of the neglectful and
drunken husband. We returned home, and
related all to my injured wife. Kneeling all
together, I responded to the minister's prayer;
I begged her forgiveness for the past, promising amendment for the future. That was a
great day of rejoicing to her. My benefactor became a constant visitor to our home;
and when the good old man died, some years
ago, few regretted him more than myself
and family.
I gave up the sea from the time of my
reformation, and obtained employment in
London through my wife's relatives. By
perseverence and industry I have worked my
way up ; and I shall always thank Divine
providence, using my mother's watch and the
good old minister, for lifting me from the
mire of dissipation, and bringing me within
reach of the saving sound of the gospel.—

A Tame Wasp.
Sir John Lubbock gives in a letter the following account of a wasp, which excited
considerable interest in England, and whose
death was recently announced in the news-
papers :
I took it, with its nest, in the Pyrenees in
May of last year. The nest, which was
beautifully regular, consisted of about twenty
cells, the majority of which contained an
egg ; but as yet no grubs had been hatched
out, and of course my wasp was, as yet,
alone in the world.
I had no difficulty in inducing her to feed
on my hand, but at first she was shy and
nervous. She kept her sting in constant
readiness, and once or twice in the train,
when the officials came for tickets, and I
was compelled to hurry her back in her bottle, she stung slightly,—l think, however, en-
She would take no food. Next day I
tried again to feed her, but the head seemed
dead, though she could still move her legs,
wings and abdomen. The following day I
offered her food for the last time, but both
head and throat were dead or paralyzed;
she could but wag her tail, a last token, as I
could almost fancy,, of gratitude and affection. As far as I could judge, her death
was quite painless, and she now occupies a
place in the British Museum.

Rev. Mr. Armstrong, in the Hawaiian Spectator. Dr. Lang has also published several
other books. His last is " The Coming

Pure religion and undefllcd before Ood, the rather, is this:
To visit the-fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted front the world.
Committee of the Y.M.C.A.
What will Stop the Mischief?
A decaying nation, confronted with an
evil, snys "Make the hest of it, and get
along as you can." A grow ing people on
the contrary, has for its maxim, "Look up
the cause and stop it." In so far as this last
is done here, so far are we as a growing
community, or nation if you please to say
so. And inasmuch as the Hawaiians attempt to do this, therein appear their struggles for continued existence. In so fur as
we do not put forth efforts to stop an evil,
just so far are we viewing calmly the footsteps of decay.
At the" death of a late beloved and lamented ruler, a lesson was displayed before
us that he who runs might read ; a lesson in
fact which need not here be put in words.
It was a lesson which many indignant hearts
responded to inwardly, though they spake
not outwardly. And as we think further on
the subject we are tempted to put it in words,
viz. The damnableness of the liquor traffic.
By liquor traffic we mean the whole concern;
that indefinable but most mischievously powerful something which temperance reformers
have in their homely language styled " King
Alcohol."
The women of America are only giving
expression to this indignant feeling toward
the power that invades and befouls and despoils that holiest and best of God's gifts to
men ; the home. The home is their kingdom, and every truly gallant man, with
aught of chivalry in his heart, will help
rather than hinder their cause. We say,
God bless them, and give them true wisdom.
And to come to ourselves, we may say, that
no decent man of energy can come in contact with the nastiness of rum without putting to himself the question " What is going
to stop it ? "
The fact is, probably no one force, no one
kind of society, no one argument will be
the one successful power. There is a narrowness about the scope of temperance societies, that despite their good object renders them somewhat tedious. When we
say that we state a fact, noticed by many
observing people; we are not uttering a
prejudice. [N. B. We forewarn any one
against quoting this sentence of ours as a
heading to an editorial leader against temper-
ance societies.]
Now as to laws. They seem to us rather
as a makeshift, wherein we lose almost as
much as we gain. Will, or will not Hawaiians drink more liquor while they are
forbidden to do so by law, than they would
if the law were repealed? This always
seems to be the question, when we undertake to debate the matter with the opponents
of the present law. There is always, however, one very puzzling phase to this debate,
viz : that it is invariably the man on the alcoholic side that maintains that natives will
drink less if the tabu is removed; that the
prohibition only makes tfiem more anxious
10 procure the forbidden stimulus.
The chief objection to the law seems to be
its sort-of-leading-stringcharactcr. Tahitians,
Marquesans, Chinese, Mexican Indians may
have all the liquor they please; Hawaiianborn whites too, but the native Hawaiian
their comrade—no, you shan't pass the glass
to him ! What practical man of common
sense expects such a lnw to be strictly obeyed or enforced ? In defence however of socalled missionary fanatics, we will here note
tho fact that it has leen the Hawaiian members of the Legislature that have refused
time and again to repeal the statute, and the
late Kamehamcha V., who was surely anything but a missionary man, was understood
to be decidedly opposed to its repeal.
Temperance moreover does not want patting on the head, patronization, such as children receive sometimes to their own rebellious disgust. It is sincere, hearty help that
is wanted. Any one can say, of the Good
Templars for instance, "Oh a very nice
thing, does a great deal of good," and all
that. We suspect that the sotto voce would
Yes, nice thing for reread as follows
formed drunkards, unfortunate people that
cannot control their appetites. What a wonder that people cannot refrain from making
beasts of themselves," &c. &c. That is we
believe a common way of putting the thing,
and it does not put any help in the way of
Temperance either.
Here is another of what Solomon would
call "evils that I have seen under the sun."
In the editorial columns of highly respectable papers, reflecters of public opinion,"
we find most pathetic appeals for the poor
Hawaiian ; the evils of the universal ginbottle, the quarrels and murders and deaths
caused thereby being painted in touching
colors, and in all sincerity too, we believe;
and yet in the most strikingly adjacent advertising column, we find this terrible article
most temptingly set forth, displayed in the
newest and handsomest type, and all for the
especial promotion of the trade which has
just been denounced as " infamous." No
less than twelve separate advertisements of
liquors appeared in a late number of a Honolulu paper that contained also a most powerful appeal to all lovers of the Hawaiian
race to enlist in the cause of Temperance.
It is the old, old story, Rum and Missionaries, all in the same ship. Keally now, are
we fanatics because we point out this too apparent inconsistency ? Well, what do we
\vaBt ? We want an intelligent, informed,
resolute and consistent public opinion on the
subject. We want a public opinion that will
not flinch from the truth for such it is, that
we as a community do not need the article,
at least outside of the sphere of a drug-shop.
That while some people see a most lamentable waste in the throwing away of molasses
that might make good rum, the real waste
of money, of power, of capital, of everything, is in the yearly importation of the
amount of useless flavored alcohol that the
Collector General's annual exhibit makes
known to the public.
Moreover, it may not be best to place the
argument tor this matter on trre selfish basis.
:"
"
We will not attempt to convince men that
they as individuals are suffering from the
use of alcoholic stimulants, but will compare
our situation to that of the soldier in the
field divesting himself of everything not
necessary for vigorous life. Nowhere is it
more evident that an economy of human
force is necessary than on these thinly-peopled islands. Let there then be a chivalric
self-denial of all that need not be imported
here in order to make a prosperous and civ-
ilized community.
It would pay in the long run, for this community to actually support by subscription
those who " must lice " by trading in spirituous liquors, and then hermetically seal up
their quondam places of business.
Now it is light, not blame, that we would
fain dispense by this essay. We would put
forth the idea, and let it fight its own way,
against principles not men, except they espouse those principles which are false. Our
own private opinion is that the Church is
the only true Temperance power, but we
have not here room to say more.
Darwinism.
We believe in Christian Darwinists, if not
in Christian Darwinism. That is to say, a
train may hold that races may develop, one
from another, and yet there be a Divine
Power back of all. But it was with pleasure that we listened to an essay the other
evening at a meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, prepared by Prof.
W. D. Alexander, on the Intolerance of Materialism. The text thereof was the Popular Science Monthly, a publication, which,
accepted in a purely scientific frame of mind
is most useful and interesting, but which
unfortunately takes pains to tread on the
corns of our faith if, we may be pardoned
the irreverent expression. Rather it undermines, unseen, the faith of all not forewarned. The especial point of the Professor's
article was the manifest intolerance of the
" chaps that run the above mention" liberal
ed Magazine. It is an intolerance manifested toward the Christian religion as violent
as that of the most bigoted denominationalist, Calvinist or Methodist. In striking
contrast to this was held up in the essay to
which we allude, the course of that prince
of scientists, the reverent Agassiz.
Now do not say that we lay a ban on the
Popular Science Monthly. We recommend
its Science, but politely request it at least to
let Theology alone.
The next meeting of the Association
is to be the annual meeting. A full attendance is hereby bespoken.
Some complaint has recently been
made, that some one or some persons pocket
the papers from the tables of the Reading
Room. It is not often done however, and
any one must see that it is a most manifest
injustice.
Ingratitude is always a kind of weakness.
I have never seen that clever men have been
ungrateful.—[Goethe.

Iceland, 874-1874.
A thousand years ago, the sea-going
vi-kings, or roving Iree-booters, issuing
from the bays and harbors of Norway and
Denmark, boldly steered their piratical crafts
into the stormy Atlantic and discovered
Iceland. In the year 874, while King Alfred
was upon the Throne of England, a settlement was made by the bold and hardy Danes
on the rude and bleak shores of that island.
That settlement has prospered, under a variety of features, for a thousand years, and now
in the year 1874, it is proposed to hold a
grand Jubilee meeting in Iceland. The
history of its inhabitants is richly worthy of
study. In a foot note of Taine's history of
English Literature, we find this singular
remark, and if true, deserves to be remembered and reflected upon. "In Iceland, the
country of the fiercest sea-kings, crimes are
unknown, prisons have been turned to other
uses, fines are the only punishment." Now
is a good time for our young people to review
their histories, andjg-read the Life of Alfred,
and Turner's JM fcaxons, or any other
books relating™ Hners and customs in
Europe a thousanfryears ago.

Rev. William Clknow. —By the last
Australian steamer, this gentleman passed
en route to Europe. For twenty years he
has been laboring as a Wesleyau Minister inSydney and the Colony of New South Wales.
Sometimes he has been traveling and others
stutioned in Sydney. We received a letter
from a Presbyterian Clergyman, in Sydney,
containing the following paragraph. "Ailow
me to introduce to you, my highly esteemed
friend, and one of the ablest and most excellent ministers of the Wesleyan Methodist
Church in this Colony." Such was the esteem in which this gentleman was held in
the Colony, that a purse of £506 was made
up to meet his expenses, to and from England. This was done, not merely among
his own people, but the community at large.
During his brief sojourn of only one day, in
Honolulu, he visited schools, churches, public buildings, and made himself acquainted
with our city and its surroundings.
So much gratified were those who listened
to Dr. Wythe's first Lecture, that the Y. M.
C. Association has invited him to deliver a
second Lecture. This will be delivered this
evening. May Ist, at the Lyceum, at 7A, P.

The Visit of Dk. Wythe.—We congratulate this gentleman on his having heen able,
during his short and flying Irip to the
islands, to visit the volcano on Hawaii, and
also the islands of Maui and Molokai. He
has also made numerous scientific excursions
around the island of Oahu, while ordinary
visitors see only the general outlines of natural scenery and acquire current information,

By the friends of Sir Robert, it was claimed
that to him this honor belonged, while Lady
Franklin claimed it for those attached to the
ill-fated expedition, commnnded by Sir John
Franklin. In the Ocean Highn-ays or Geographical Review, published in London, for
December, 1873, we find this subject fully
discussed in a memoir of Sir Hubert. As
both Lady Franklin and Sir Robert, arc remembered by some of our readers, we think
they will not be uninterested in learning the

attempts to explain the curious phenomenon, in literature. Says the German
critic Schlegel, "no life of Shakespeare
yet written can explain the man." He does
not hesitate to denominate any life of Shakespeare yet written as " a more fabulous
story." R. W. Emerson says, in view of
" Hamlet," and " Lear." " I cannot marry
this fact to his verse. Other admirable men
have led lives in some sort of keeping with
their thought, but this man in wide contrast."
S. Taylor Coleridge exclaims " What, are

Papuasia.
This is the new name for the great island
of Papua or New Guinea. In the Ocean
Highways for December, we find various
documents relating to the recent explorations
of Papuasia or New Guinea. Among these
documents a map delineating the cruise
and land journey of the Italian expedition,
to which was attached, d' Albertis, an Italian
traveler, who spent some weeks recently in
Honolulu, and became known to many of the
foreign residents. It appears that this expedition explored along the western shores
of Papuasia, nnd was under the direction of
Dr. Meyer, a German, and Dr. Beccari, an
Italian. The former has returned to Europe
and writes from Vienna.
An English exploring expedition under
command of Capt. Moresby, on board H. B.
M. S. Basilisk, made a running survey of
the eastern coast of Papuasia, during the
spring of 1573. The Missionaries of the
London Missionary Society, have commenced
a Mission Station on the S. W. coast of
Papuasia. A narrative of the missionary
voyage thither, conducted by Rev. A. W.
Murray and Key. S. Macfarlane, has been
published, and lies on our table. From all
these sources we gather the information that
this great island is gradually being brought
within the range of civilizing and christian
influences. It is sad to reflect that trading
35
The precipitous wooded
mountains are to a considerable extent cleared
and terraced to their very summits with taro
and yam plantations, whilst the valleys produce cocoanut, sago, palm, bananas, sugar
cane, guava, mammy apples, pumpkins, snd
other valuable products. The natives were
of a lighter copper color than those further
west, slight limbed and active, with bright,
intelligent featuies, and many would be good
looking but for the disfigurement caused by
the betel-nut. Their taste, in painting their
bodies, is peculiar. At times they make
themselves a sooty black with charcoal and
oil. Others paint black spectacles round
their eyes, blacken their noses and lime their
cheeks and chins white, giving themselves a
most grotesque appearance. They are fond
of wearing bright flowers, plumes of feathers,
and long streamers of the Pandanus fastened
to their shoulders. The septum of the nose
is perforated, and a polished bone thrust
through it. The men do all the canoe work,
leaving the field labor to the women. But
the latter have their say, and make the men
do as they please in mutters of barter. The
men were frequently seen nursing little
children with much affection. One striking
evidence of the superior civilization of the
light colored race over the black New Guinea
men is the acquaintance of the former with
the art of making pottery.
" The intercourse of the Basilisk with
these people was of a most satisfactory and
pleasant nature. On all possible occasions
Captain Moresby gave his ship's company
leave to go on shore, and mix freely with
the natives, and there was always perfect
good feeling and confidence on both sides.
They are as pleasant and genial a race of
savages as could well be met. At the same
time, they occasionally do a little cannibalism
amongst themselves.
Captain Moresby inclines to the opinion that the inhabitants of
the large outlying islands stand in much the
same relation to the New Guinea men, as
the Danes and Norsemen of old did to the
ancient Britons. While laying in Fortescue
Strait, the Basilisk was visited by some
large island canoes, and the New Guinea
people immediately cleared out, and were

RKI'RESKNTATIVKS :
During the last bion'nial period the nation has
passed through important vicissitudes, in consequence of which two extraordinary Sessions of the
Legislative Assembly were convened. The first
of theseelected my Predecessor, His late Majesty
Lvnalii.o, and at the same Session, certain amendments of the Constitution were proposed. In the
Providence of the Almighty, it was not permitted
to the King Lunai.ilo to Bee the accomplishment
of his hopes. Scarcely one year of his reign had
passed ere he was summoned away. Upon his
death, no successor to the Throne having been appointed by him and approved by the Nobles, as
required by law, it became your duty, under the

THE FRIEND,
Obituary.
-
Miss Maria Ooden, who died in this city
April 3d, 1874, was born in Philadelphia,
Pa., Feb. 17, 171)2, having attained the venerable age of 82 years. Of her early life we
have very little knowledge, except that she
was an only child, and that when she devoted herself to the work of Foreign Missions, at the age of thirty-five, she was an
orphan, and had very few relatives living.
She embarked for these islands, Nov. 3d,
1827, in the second reinforcement of missionaries, which consisted of Key. E. W. Clark,
Rev. J. S. Green, Rev. Lorrin Andrews, Rev.
P. J. Gulick and their wives, and four single
ladies, Miss Ward, Miss Stone, Miss Patton
and Miss Ogden. Two only of these ladies
still survive. Miss S. now the widow of
Rev. Artemus Bishop and Miss P. the widow
of Mr. Levi Chamberlain. The sending out
of these four single ladies was thought then
"simply an experiment," and a "very doubt■ ful " one too, but we may now consider tlicni
(and Miss Ogden particularly) as the pioneers in the work now spreading over the
whole missionary world, and which has attained such proportion as to employ numerousWomen's Boards in many denomination*.
This company landed at Honolulu, March
30th, 1828. It is a. somewhat remarkable
coincidence, that a social gathering of the
survivors of this reinforcement, was held at
the house of Mrs. Chamberlain, on the day
after the 44th anniversary of their lauding ;
and three days after this social interview,
Miss Ogden was called Home.
Miss Ogden's life has been one of preeminent usefulness. Humble, retiring in
disposition, she has yet accomplished a vast
amount of work in a most unobtrusive manner.
Immediately on their arrival the four single
ladies were assigned to homes in different
missionary families, and Miss Ogden's first
field of labor was in the family of Rev. P. J.
Gulick at the station of Waimea, Kauai.
She remained here a year, during which
time she commenced the study of Hawaiian,
and it is remembered she devoted much of
her time to nursing sick Hawaiians. In
1829 she was stationed at Lahaina, in the
family of Wm. Richards, and remained at
this station several years, a helper in the
missionary families and also teaching day
and Sabbath schools. She mentions in her
early letters " a hundred pupils " as calling
for all the patience and endurance she could
command. In the year 1838 she entered on
the work of training Hawaiian girls in a
farajly boarding school at Wailuku, Maui, in
connection with Mr. £. Bailey as manager,
and continued in this school for nearly 20
years, until the American Board decided best
to disband the school, and give up the special
■

work of training girls. Miss O. has been
heard to remark that " this was the bitterest
trial of her missionary life." But she could
not relinquish wholly her beloved work, and
kept a small private school for girls in Wailuku, till called to Punahou in 1858 where
she acted as manager of domestic affairs for
a year or so, until the Makiki Boarding
School for Hawaiian and half-white girls
was started. With these later labors of her's
nearly all are conversant. She continued in
this school ten years, when on account of the
opening of the Kawuiahao Seminary and her
increasing age, she decided to withdraw from
the sphere of education, anil has since lived
a happy quiet life in the city of Honolulu,
occupying her time ns tract distributor and
hospital visitor, and relieving all the sick and
afflicted in her immediate neighborhood. In
the year 1853 she adopted two motherless
daughters, the Misses Holden, whom she
trained to womanhood with all a mother's
love ami care, anil who now deeply mourn
her loss. She had also two Hawaiian adopted daughters, the children of Rev. James
cellor, and among the other familiar names
were J. W. Austin and Mrs. Austin, Mrs.
Peck, Capt. Sc Mrs. Brewer, Mr. and Mrs.
Weston and others.
Gerrit K. Smith is our last arrival, and we
welcome him as we do all the island boys,
for they all reflect credit on their native land.
I saw both the Bonds a few weeks ago, and
the Emersons and Frank Lyman I see frequently. With aloha, I am, truly yours,
Wm. T. Brigham.
and Naomi Kekcla, Missionaries to the Marquesas. Naomi was one of her early pupils
in the Wailuku Seminary. By her own estimate, she had hail under her training in
her various schools, a thousand Hawaiian
girls! Some of our most valued Hawaiian
matrons all over these islands were her pupils.
Several of them are now the wives of Hawaiian Missionaries in Marquesas and Micronesia.
Her end came suddenly. Apparently in
good health, her last day was crotedt d with
deeds of kindness. Walking in the mid-day
sun to carry a last letter she had written to
Mrs. Kekela at the Marquesas, then in the
afternoon attending the Social at Fort Street
Church, on her way home about sunset, she
was stricken down with an appoplectic fit
and was much injured in falling. Her last
words were " Take me Home." She became unconscious almost immediately, and
remained so for nearly 24 hours when she
passed away without a struggle or groan.

Poor Comments.—The opium licenses for
$20,100 and the inefficient efforts to put in
force our existing laws for the suppression of
intemperance, are poor comments upon the
lamentations over the decrease of the native
population and the professed paternal character of the Hawaiian Government. Report
says the Hawaiian Treasury is depleted and
money is wanted. No wonder. Money
lenders are chary about lending money to
the patrons of grog shops. Opium and rum
are Hawaii's two great evils. We feel sadly
disappointed, for we did hope the Legislature would have listened to the petitions of
Hawaiians, Chinamen and foreigners, praying that the ruinous drug might be tabued.
What is quite remarkable, out of a population of six hundred Chinamen, we are informed over five hundred have petitioned to
have the Government refuse to license the
sale of epium. We live in the confident expectation that the time will certainly come,
and that before many years, when the sale
of opium and rum will no more be licensed
and sold as they now are, than other poisons
now confined to the shop of the apothecary.

THE FRIEND,
New Explorations in Micronesia.
THE MORTLOCK GROUP.
Jan. 20, 1874.
Reo. S. C. Damon, Editor oftlte Frie.no :
A cruise" in the Morning Star !
"
We are now " homeward bound." Would
you not like a few notes " of that cruise ?"
The Star left Ponape January 2d, sailing
NNW to Pakin, a small atoll, some twenty
miles distant, with a population of seventyfive to one hundred. This small island is a
dependency of one of the Kings of Ponape
the people the same as of that island and
the language. We did not care so much to
explore it, as to get a sight of its general
contour. The Star passed close under its
lee-shore, on the south side, and then headed
away for N'gatik, or Raven, or the Seven
Islands. N'gatik is the native name, and it
is an atoll with some seven or eight islets on
its reef. Its position is 5 ° 47' 30" N lat,
and 157 ° 32' E long. The island was discovered in 1773 by a Spaniard, and then reand renamed by other explorers,
one
a new name. The name
impressing
i
en Islands was probably given from the
u islets on the reef.
This atoll is some 22 miles in circumference, with no passage to the Lagoon, save a
Morning Star,
—
#
Sovered
boat passage near an islet ou the eastern
extremity of the reef—an islet without inhabitants. The natives of N'gatik are in
size and language, Ponapeians. And so one
might expect their complexion to be, only the
" foreign blood " has so largely mingled
with the native—the native color has been
about bleached out. The island has long
been the home of foreigners, and painful
are the reports afloat of " violence and blood
shed," of " sudden deaths in the Lagoons
and over the reef;" but they need not be repeated—" Let the dead bury its dead."
The population numbers from 75 to 100.
Children are numerous, light and pretty; but
with hearts dark as the pagan. We offered
to take some to Ponape to be educated in
our schools, but parents could hardly afford
that, 'twas too far, and they had not mastered their distrust of tbe Missionary. He
might be a " man-eater" rather than a
" soul-teacher," for such are the reports often
made about him.
The island is fertile. The" bread-fruit,
cocoanut, sugar cane, bananas and onions
were seen growing.
A singular piece of masonry may seem a
sacred pile. The base was some 12 feet
square and raised, some five solidly laid
with rude steps for ascending. Then on this

ped with one standing erect with a crown
piece of concave coral stone. This structure
is sacred. Prayers and worship are here
made to the island divinity, and the hill is
free to any one to ascend and offer his devotions. We longed to see this piece of masonry exchanged for the Christian Church,
and flanked by its ever faithful friend and
co-worker, the school-house, and that will
yet be. Putting the question, if a Missionary, would we be welcome? Some replied
yes, and it was affecting to see some gathering about one of our Ponape teachers, and
holding her hand as if to pin her to the spot
at once. N'gatik shall yet be beautified by
the touch of Jesus. Parting with a hymn
and prayer, the Star filled away for the
Mortlock group, lying nearly due west from
N'gatik. Her approach here was in dead
silence—not as in some cases canoes hastening off to trade. It was not till she was near
the mouth of the passage a canoe was seen,
tho' she had run some 10 or 12 miles along
the leeward shore, and why this ? The Carl,
pirate ship, kidnapping vessel, had been here
a few years since and had stolen quite a
number of natives. How our blood heated
up as we remembered her black, infamous
work. But the story is well known, I need
not repeat it; yet J shall never forget tbe
comical, yet serious way in which a chief
narrated his treatment on a Fijian plantation.
Flog, flog, me cry plenty much,"—he spoke
"broken
English. All hail to Her Majesty's
Government for these kidnapped ones who
have been returned to their homes. And yet
while we shout this peati of praise to John
Bull, what shall be said of the Emperor of
Germany who suffered his flag to be unfurled
to cover the coolie trade ? But little better
than the Carl's kidnapping. True, the way
of securing the victims is a little more
humane, but the end the same, the plantation, the hard, pittiless plantation, with years
of hard work, and in many cases a hopeless
return to Fatherland. Is it possible that Germany which heads the van in the world's intellectual thought, is also to lead the coolie trade
—a relic of the dark ages, a twin of American
slavery ? It is reported that Sunativcs were
taken from this island as coolies by a German
vessel, to be returned in five years. How
oi'teu were we asked by mothers and brothers, when will they come back? And how
often did we see strings enclosing the house
of some one taken away. They enclose
because sacred to him. No one could inhabit it. With this state of things, we
were not surprised at the reception of the
Star. At first it was with such an ominous
silence ; but as she ncars the mouth of the
of the lagoon, a canoe is descried
Eassage
earing down, headed by a foreigner, a
trader, be assuring his natives that there
was no danger. We soon met them with
a boat, exchanged salutations and they
boarded the Star.
The first contact with this people prepossesses one in their favor, so mild looking, so
gentle, so far from rudeness, we often said,
how kind, how woman-like they are, using
this, not as a reproach, but a description of
their general bearing. Surely these are not
savages!
The canoe of these islanders is in general
style with the canoes of all the islanders
of Micronesia. The ever present outrigger
and timbers seized together by native twine.
The dress of the islanders is simple. Their
mills weave not very finely nor abundantly '.
The men, as one part of their dress, wear
the nuiro, a thick braid of cloth about their
loins; they wear also the poncho, made from
the bark of the hybiscus, two breadths
sewed together. It extends nearly to the
feet. The hair was done up in a topknot style, ornamented by native beads,
hair pin and comb—this is a small piece of
wood slitted into small fine teeth lengthwise,
often carved and cock's feathers sewed to the
handle. Tattooing is simple, the arms and
from the shoulder to the elbow being thus
ornamented, save occasionally with some a
semi-circle band run across the breast.
Children go in undress, the women wear the
native tapa made from the bark of the hybiscus, plainly ornamented and dyed black
for a back ground. The dwellings are
simple. The dwelling house proper is
simply the roof set on the ground,resting on
its eaves. There is an excuse for a door ot
each end through which one may crawl. It
is dark and stifling. Close to this is the
cook-house, black and filthy. Much of the
cooking is done upon heated stones. It is
with them yet the stone age; for nearly all
implements of work, axes, knives and the
adz, arc made from this or something
kindred to it—the shell of fish and turtle.
dwelling, or apparently in each
Near
community, is a building of larger dimensions
than has been mentioned. It is a " hotel," a
work-house," a shelter for large proas, a
"play-ground
for children, a campus for all
meetings. It is not elegantly made, rather
rude, but strong. Large masks were found
at Satonn, an islet of the Mortlock group,
some very large. They seemed to be used
by executioners, that they might do their
deed faithtfully and be unknown.
Till: MORTLOCK GROUP.
But now that we have spoken of the
Mortlock group, described their people and
their customs in general, it remains to
speak of separate islands. Fhe group we
have named is one discovered by Mortlock
in 1793, commanding the Young Williani, and both names are given to the
cluster, consisting of three atolls, separated
by channels, from five to seven miles in
width, their names being Satoan, Etal and
Lukunor. The Star visited Satoan first,
though while really bearing the name of the
discoverer, but it is proposed to erase that
and re-name the atoll from its most important islet, more so, because most fertile,
most populous, and evidently the oldest
land formation of the island, Satoan.
This change of name is proposed, for there
is no other island in all the group and sister
atolls, but which bears as it should a native
name. Satoan lies in 5C 27' N long and
153° 30' S long. Two passages offer access
to the Lagoon, one on the south side and
one on the north side. The depth of the
Star's anchorage was nineteen fathoms.
Some sixty islets crown the reef of this
atoll. Some large, miles in length and sail
wooded and fruitful; others mere pin henrls
in size. It was frequently observed that
�.
THE FRIEND,
,r
~sl II
neither
the reefr proper nor land-formation
had the breadth of some coral islands in
Micronesia. The bread-fruit, cocoanut, pandanas and other plants and trees
abound here. The wild pigeons and smaller
birds were seen. The population may
reach 1500. One islet, some four or more
miles long, has a population of 600. The
larlguage of this island and so of all its
sister atolls, Etal, Lukunor, Namaluk,
Losap, Nama, is one and possesses a large
affinity for the dialect of Ponape. The
numerals were strikingly alike to those of
Ponape—so the words for house, animal,
canoe, moon, members of the body, so many
verbs with their suffixes. But all this likeness will not obviate the necessity of reducing the language and giving to it its own
literature. In leaving Satoan it may be remarked, early navigators have represented
the natives as treacherous, were not to be
trusted, no matter how friendly they may
appear." The Star can deny that charge.
From the first day of her anchoring to the
last, here and at Lukunor, not the first
treacherous sign was seen ; nor indeed is
it known that a single article was stolen.
Yet natives were numerous on deck, going
and coming ; visits were made ashore without fear. It is questionable if she ever anchored among a people so recently brought
to the light of the civilized world and yet
so mild as this people, and so far from the
merely savage.
Passing from Satoan, the Star sailed
across the Lagoon, going out at the northern
outlet. It is a Lagoon of much beauty and
safety, because so largely free (tmn coral
and
patches. Bearing NNEin lat
153° 24' long is Etal, distant some seven
miles, an island without a ship passage ; but
its reef is crowned with a luxuriant growth
of .vegetation on the islets. The Star did
not touch here. It is spoken of as a beautiful atoll. The population may number some
600 or more. The people, language, customs, all are one with Satoan, with which
a free communication is kept up by large
proas.
Passing by Etal, the Star ran NW some
25 miles to Namaluk, whose position is 5°
-55' N lat 153c 13' E long. Approaching
this island three large islets were seen crowning the reef, verdant and apparently thicklywooded. The more than usual height of the
trees seemed to give to the atoll an unusual
elevation, as if partly heaved up by volcanic
force. Reaching this island at near sunset,
there was no time for exploration ; but as
the Star passed along to the lee shore
groups of natives were seen sitting beneath
tbe trees, watching the approach of the
vessel, a sight to them no doubt strange,
as not many ships touch here. This cautiousness of the people not to launch at
once a. proa and come off," indicated fear.
And so it was, for here were found those who
had been kidnapped by the Carl and taken
to a Fiji plantation. Perceiving their unwillingness to come to the Star her boat
was sent them. Three friendly natives
from Satoan accompanied, and going up to
the group, told them who the strangers
■were, friendly Missionaries. A few threw
aside all fear, came to us and shook hands,
heard a message, bartered a little, and then
with a friendly good-bye " were left. The

language, customs and tattooing, all were
one with the Satoans. No ship passage.
Merely one large enough for a boat wns seen.
The population may reach from three to five
hundred.
The day closing, the Star filled away for
Losap, NW, distant some sixty miles. Its
position is 7 ° 3' 40" N lat and 152 ° 42'
20" E long. Nearing this atoll the natives
were cautious as at Namaluk. Flogging on
a Fiji plantation had no charms for them.
It was observed that the island had the appearance of an unusual elevation as at the
one just passed. This must arise from the
large growth of trees and so compact.
Nothing like volcanic forces working in
ages past could be seen. As the Star
neared the island, natives were seen walking
on the beach. None came off. The boat
was sent in, accompanied by the friendly
natives of Satoan. A ship's passage was
seen. There may be more on the west side.
The boat passed into the Lagoon and ran
up near half way of the Lagoon to the
landing of a high chief. The companywere received with kindness. Young cocoanuts being brought as a peace offering.
The high chief was very friendly and will
gladly take a Missionary teacher. All the
surroundings of the people, their language,
dress, proas, ornaments, tattooing, dwellings,
the children in undress, and the women
with the native tapa, showed they were
kith and kin with the islanders already visited. The population may reach 500. The
island seemed fertile and capable of furnishing plenty of food.
Northwest of Losap lies the atoll Nama,
round, small, and without Lagoons; fertile,
crowded with a forest of bread-fruit trees
and cocoanuts—a tombstone in mid ocean
of some buried mountain peak. The island
is not put down in Findloy's Directory. It
is some ten miles NW from Losap. As the
Star neared this pin-head of an island,
natives were seen grouped on the shore,
waiting, apparently, her approach. The
landing is evidently on the west or lee side,
over the reef in a smooth surf. But time
did not permit to send a boat. We learned
from the natives with us that the populotion
is small, some 150 or 200—if indeed amounting to that. The language and people are
one with the islands south, at which we had
touched.
LUKI'NOR, OR GEM OF
THE CORAL ISLANDS.
The Star headed away from this people
for Ruku, the higher mountain peaks of
which were seen near sunset; but it was
thought best not to sail on further, so she
tacked about and headed for Lukunor, a
sister island of Satoan ; whose position is
in N lat 5 27' and E long 153 27.
And here we find, if 1 mistake not, the gem
°
°
of coral islands in Micronesia. The Lagoon,
so comparatively free from coral patches,
and the islets so fertile and so situated as to
protect the anchoring ground, which has a
fine bottom and close in to the shore if
needed, and not deep, the contour of the
atoll, the mildness of the people, all combined to make this a beautiful island. There
is but one passage, though of easy access,
on the south side. The island may be some
eighteen miles in circumference. Four
large islets, not contiguous nor very widely
separated, crown the reef. On the main
43
islet two large taro patches were seen, evi-
dently highly cultivated, and divided off
into sections, marking the ownership of
each. And it was observed how much there
was of a rude kind of fencing on the main
land as if each one's little farm must bedefinitely bounded—a little ludicrous we
thought, as the whole islet would not satisfy
a western farmer for his plantation. Wild
pigeons are more or less numerous, and a
small bird, with cheery note, was seen. The
.
houses and proas, the dress and ornaments
of tho people, the maro and poncho of the
men, with the simple skirt of the women,
and the nakedness of the children, and their
language, marked this people as one with
the Satoanites ; and their proximity enables*
them to have fiequent communication with
each other. The population may be put
down at 1500. The children are numerous,
a hopeful sign for the future of the teacher
located here.
Leaving this island the Star touched at
Satoan for a few last wordj with the teachers
there, and then laid her course forNukuwor,
or the Monteverde Island, located in N lat
3 ° 55' and E long 154 ° 56. This island
was discovered by Monteverde, a Spaniard,
in 1806. It is small, some twelve or fifteen
miles around. It has a passage for small
vessels. The reef was dotted with islets.
some thirty crowning and adorning it. The
natives are of Sainoan descent. Their
splendid forms marked this as well as their
language. It has but little affinity with the
islands of the north. The population is
small, numbering some 150. In times past
it has been larger, but feticide, so very
common, has lessened it sadly. The natives
seemed cheerful and lively, going off to a
vessel, at a rather venturesome distance, for
barter. Idols carved from wood are common
hero, a very large one being in their
temple. This is probably the only people in
all Micronesia who worship idols carved out.
With all of them arc stones, trees, animals,
birds nnd fish, dressed and made sacred, but
without the carved imsge. This fact seems
to point to a different origin, for this people,
cither retaining the custom of their ances-
tors at the south, or taking it from natives
who may have drifted to them from the
west. No opportunity was offered here to
land, though the natives are friendly—a
trader resides here. It is manifestly the iron
age with this people, as iron hoop was
eagerly taken in exchange for their small
wares for sale.
The Star could stay here but a short time,
as the day was fast closing up. So telling
the venturous ones to return home, as a light
was burning for them on the shore, we
parted, they for their coral reef and we
for the more ambitious, high island, Ponape.
It is a matter of devout thanks to our
heavenly Father, that during all thiscruiseno
accident befell the Star; no demonstration
of treachery from the natives; not even a
nail, it is known, was stolen. The teachers
were welcomed and readily found homes
among those people they sought to live with.
So was the blessing of God with us, and so
may His blessing rest on those just beginning their life-work, to lift up to a true life
and Christian civilization the people we
have just visited and among whom they toil.

At half-past four I went over to their
prayer meetings, when these bands came in
to report. After singing, One more day's

prayer was offered. The reports were given
so quietly, and they seemed so humble and
full of the Master's spirit, it was very solemn.

The President then asked me to speak to
them, which I did for five minutes. But I
could hardly speak at all my heart was so
full.
The President, a noble looking woman of
sixty, considered one of the first in the city
for intellect, moral worth and Christian
character, said to me: Mr. Gough, we
believe we are engaged in" the Master's service. But oh! sir, the crucifixion of the
flesh! You can hardly imagine the struggle
we went through before we could go to
places we had always shunned as so vile.
But we mean now to continue this work if
necessary as long as we live."
A Dayton lady told me that a whisky
seller asked her how long they were going
to continue this work, and she told him :
Ail our lives, and we will train our daugh"ters
to work when we are gone."
One lady said to me, " Mr. Gough, what
could we do ? Our husbands, our dear boys,
our brothers were being destroyed. We had
no redrew, no law, no power to do anything
but weep ; and we have carried our appeal to
God, and we have faith to continue this
work. And He has heard us. We know it
by the blessing to our own souls as well as
by the wonderful success that has attended
our efforts."
1 do believe this work of prayer is to go
on, and I believe the Holy Spirit will
descend on this whole people. In all the
places I visit there seems a subdued feeling
of seriousness. They appear as if about
some great work. The fact is, 1 rejoice in it
with all my heart and am encouraged more
than I ever have been.

Extraordinary Spiritual Power.—Rev.
Dr. Merrick, late President of Ohio Wesleyan University, writes to the Christian
Aevocate from Delaware, 0., under date of
March 4: "We are in the midst of the
most wonderful movement I have ever witnessed. Those not mingling in it can form
but little conception of what it is. It is
called a temperance movement, but its chief
charactaristic is its profoundly religious
spirit. Such penitence, such humility, such
humble trust in God, such a sense of the
Divine Presence, I have rarely, if ever, witnessed, even in the most powerful revivals of
religion. Christians are drawn together far
more closely than they were in the meetings
of the Evangelical Alliance. Surely they
unite their hearts in prayer and praise, as
God strangely manifests His presence in
their assemblies. All feel that God is in
this work. I dare say but little. In such a
Presence our words should be few. Ride on,,
thou conquering King."

In (he Gilbert group. (They were natives that had been at

natives, some on Tamana, Byron's, Pern, Clark's and Drummond's Islands. Aug 10th came to anchor off Drummond'a;
that night the cable parted and drifted her off tosea. Next
morning while standing in toward shore she run on the reef.
The natives of the island at once boardedher and took charge,
so that the crew could do nothing to save the veaael, consequently she went to pieces." Took first and second mates as
far aa Apaiang, and then succeeded in getting them a chance
to go to Samoa in a German brig.

a poor woman. She offered him a chair, and In tbe act of sitting down he fell forward and expired instantly. Capt. Green
was not far from 70 years old,and had followedthe sea from
the timehe was 13 tilt a few years since. In the early part of
his life he commanded a ship owned by Bryant &. Bturgea, engaged in the fur trade on the Northwest Coast. Later he waa
engaged in theSandwich Island trade. He waa a vigorous and
energetic man, and seemed to have lost none of his strength
and activity. As a neighbor and friend,and as a devout member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, he will be much missed.
He was noted for his generosity and his modest liberality to
those who were unfortunate—American paper.

Rev. S. C. Damon —My Dear Friend—l herewith send
you an obituary notice of our friend, Capt. M. W. Green. My
acquaintance witn him commenced in the year 1820, at Honolulu, when I was first otllcer of the brig Chinchilla,under
command of Capt Thomas Meek, and he was second mate of
the brig Griffon, which vessel he afterwards commanded,
and which vessel was owned by Bryant & Sturges. I was at
Honolulu In 1823, in the ship Paragon, and Captain Green left
Boston in 1824, and 1 believe Mr. Peirce waa clerk of the brig
Griffon, and his brother was Captain. There was something
very singular (if not really very pleasant and enviable) In the
circumstances of his death, believing as I do, that he was
ready for the summons. He was in the act of performing
the duty inculcated by his Master, via i That of ''feeding the
poor, whom we have always with us." He was taking a basket
of potatoes to a poor woman, and had ascended a narrow and
steep staircase ; and after his arrival In the room, being somewhat exhausted, the woman handed him a chair, and in the
act of sitting down he pitched forward on Ihe floor, and Instantly died. He haa two sons in the U. 8. Navy, Lieutenant
Commanders. The youngest ia now in Japan,and the other

Letter from Tahiti.
The Rev. J. L. Green, Missionary of
the London Mission Society, thus writes
under date of March 25th :
"We have not much news stirring here
just now. The New Guinea Mission is
being put fairly under way by our Society. I
suppose a Mission steam vessel is nearly on
the spot from England, designed specially
for that Mission. She was to leave London
in January last, to pass through the Suez
Canal and then under sail and steam to proceed direct to Cape York, at present the
head-quarters of the Mission. By the end of
the present year we shall have four or five
European Missionaries in the field, and a
large staff of native helpers. We lose one
of our Missionaries from this Mission, who
proceeds from Borabora en route for New
Guinea, (Papua) per John Williams, next
month. I hope to receive more particulars
of the work there by our bark John Williams, which we expect, is now on her way
from Sydney, direct to our islands; and
whatever news I get I will forward a report of
it to you by next chance, although I sec you
have communication opened up again
between your port and Australia. 1 hope it
will be more permanent than the former attempt.
Our new Bethel is progressing, and that
satisfactorily. I hope its opening services
will be held in July next.
I ought to have said, iv referring to the
steamer for the new Mission at Papua, that
a lady friend of our Society in Scotland
gave Jt.2000 towards the purchase thereof,
and it was that munificent gift which ena.
bled the Directors to realize their wishes in
the establishment of the Mission.
It is absolutely necessary to survey the
coast to find out healthy localities, and it is
also necessary to visit stations occupied very
frequently as our teachers suffer from want
of provisions, and are in danger of the cannibal's club. Two teachers and one female
have already fallen, but the intelligence
thereof has not daunted the courage of our
native friends on Rarotonga, to which island
the unfortunate teachers belonged. Rev. J.
Chalmers writes to say he has many volunteers in the institution who are willing to go
and take the place of their martyred
brethren."
Henri Rochefobt and Others. The
arrival on Sunday of the three escaped communists created quite a sensation. They
were Henri Rochefort, editorand ex-member
of the French Government of National
Defense in 1871, Paschal Grousset, editor
and ex-minister of Foreign Affairs. These
and three others, who were tried in Paris
—
and sentenced to confinement for life on the
Island of New Caledonia, escaped from imprisonment and arrived in Sydney the latter
part of March. They state that the Capt.
of the British bark "P. C. E." engaged for
a certain sum to take them on board. On
the night designated, they left the fort where
they were confined, passing several guards,
and entered the water, swimming two miles
to a boat in waiting, which conveyed them
to the bark some ten miles distant. The
wind dying away, the vessel was becalmed a
day or two, during which time they were
secreted in the hold.— (gazette, May 13.

says. Well, the choice of belief is just this:
Either there is nothing supernatural, no
Personal God, or else there is a Personal
God and a Providence, and a Moral
Law; and if the latter of these two is the
truth, then there is nothing childish nor
absurd in the belief that there may be prosperity awarded to those who respect the
"
Moral Law.
Another question for our consideration is
with respect to the moral and religious influences that are to be potent on these islands.
It is a general opinion that matters of this
sort are generally declining; that there is not
much religion anywhere among Hawaiians
that amounts to anything; and that the experiment of intrusting the keeping of these
matters with native pastors has proved a
failure. The late defalcation of one of the
most known pastors with funds collected for
benevolent purposes goes far to support this
idea. Yet the prompt action of the ecclesiastical Hawaiian body with which the above
mentioned pastor was connected, goes far to
show that even in such matters, the main
portion of these pastors may yet be found
reliable. Any way, it is too late to change
the system.
A matter of great importance is the sustaining of the Sunday Schools. These are
becoming more amd more the only medium
through which religious truth can be conveyed to Hawaiian children. The prospect
at present is most certainly not encouraging
in this respect, especially for Honolulu. The
weak point is as regards teachers. It seems
almost impossible to secure the services of
faithful teachers in the Hawaiian Sabbath
Schools. The older natives will get together
and discuss the lesson for the morning, but
to find those who will faithfully and ably
take a class of boys in hand and so interest
them as to encourage them to come again,
seems to be growing more and more a
difficulty.
One very serious drawback is the limited
sphere of progress in such things afforded by
the Ha»jj»iian language and literature ; and
yet a vigorous and active man might be the
head and training power of an efficient corps
of teachers. Here are serious matters for
thought for those who really have the relig-
ious good of the community at heart.
Hawaiian boys will make first-class hoodlums

The Annual Foreign Missionary Sermon,
—Was preached on Sabbath evening at
Fort Street Church, June 7th, by the Rev.
H. H. Parker, from the text, Ist Cor. 1:22-24 verses:
" For the Jews require a sign,
and the Greeks seek after wisdom," &c.
The discourse was admirably suited to the
occasion, and the preacher pointed out in a
clear and logical manner the nature of the
gospel and its adaptation to man's necessities. A collection was contributed, nmounting to 533 60
Ordination Sekvices.—Mr. Horace J.
Taylor, a licentiate of the Congregational
Church, arrived in Honolulu on his way to

American Board. Upon consultation with
the Hawaiian Board, it was deemed advisable that he should receive ordination before
sailing for his distant field of labor. A
council having been regularly convened on
Friday, 3d of July, at Fort Street Church,
he was duly examined and the necessary arrangements made for his ordination, which
took place Sabbath evening at the same

own allusion to the event in his own paper
was peculiarly happy and appropriate, and
only our want of space prevents us from
copying the same into our columns. We
have not forgotten the generous manner our
friends, eight years ago, contributed to a
similar event in our own career. Our neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Whitney richly merited
this demonstration. No one in our island
community has more industriously and energetically served the public than Mr. Whitney. Early and late has he labored to publish the latest news from all parts of the
world. Many a time has he endangered his
life to board some passing vessel bound to
China to obtain the latest paper, and on one
occasion he was actually lost overboard and
drawn under the vessel's keel. Such men
merit well of their friends and the public,
and if in the hurry of life we can turn aside
and surprise them with a little demonstration of friendly and neighborly feeling, we
ought to do it most cheerfully and gener-
ously.

Koloa, Kauai, where they have resided for
nearly twenty years, Mrs. Dole had suffered
from a paralytic stroke, and by a similar attack she was removed from the scenes of
earth after a sickness of a few days. She
arrived at Honolulu in April, 1837, in the
large re-enforcement which had been sent
out from Boston. Her labors have been in
Honolulu at Oahu College and Koloa, Kauai,
but in whatever sphere she has been called
to act she has always exhibited the traits of
the true Christian woman and genuine missionary. Naturally endowed with a clear
and well balanced mind, enriched by reading
and discipline, she was prompt to give advice and counsel when needed. Her family,
numerous friends, and many of the young,
both among foreigners and natives, knew
and appreciated her genuine worth. She
was emphatically one who, in the language
of Solomon, looked " well to the ways of
her household," and many living and dead
have been blessed by her care, thoughttulness and Christian nurture. She was a native of Greenwich, Ct., and was sixty-one
years old on the 26th of last May. Her
funeral took place at Kawaiahao Church in
Honolulu on the afternoon of July 6th, and
her remains were deposited in the Mission

Last. Letter from Micronesia.
Ponape, March 22, 1874.
—
Rev. Mr. Damon Dear Sir—Vfe have
been saddened to-day, for we have stood by
the portals of the narrow house of the dead.
We were all pained a day or two since by
hearing from Capt. Williams, of theFlorence
from San Francisco, of the mysterious dispearance of his steward. Early in the
morning of that day, he passed to the Captain his cup of coffee, and fifteen minutes
afterwards was nowhere to be found. The
vessel was searched fore and aft,—the man's
hat and knife was found, and certain articles
missing, with a piece of rope taken from a
strange place—but no steward was found.
The woods near by the vessel were searched,
but all in vain. It was confidently believed
he had drowned himself, especially as it was
recalled to mind by some here, he had often
indirectly threatened this. But there was no
certainty of the deed being done, and Capt.
W., sailed yesterday without being positive
what had become of the man. This morning, as Capt. Hickmott, of the Joseph Maxwell, was standing on the quarter-deck, a
dark body was seen raising feet first from the
deep, and neared his vessel. It was the
body of the steward. It was gathered up—
a coffin made for it by the carpenter of the
Maxwell,—and late this afternoon brought
ashore and buried. Poor man, liquor maddening, crazing liquor led him to the sad
deed. Crazed by it, and perhaps weary of
its bondage, he had taken a large bag of
shells, fastened them to his neck and leaped
overboard—a fatal leap. And now he is
buried on the shore of this lone isle; far
away from home, friends and country.
Edward Hill is given as his name, and
England as his native land ; but no one
knows of the parents, or birth-place, or relatives. He is reported as having once been
steward on some English man-of-war. In his
profession he was efficient. In this, Captain
and Mrs. Williams loses a valuable man. O,
the demon of drink ! Why will men dally
with it ? When shall it be banished from
the world ? When will our sailor boys learn
to let it alone ? Its bondage is cruel. It
biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an
adder. Its touch is death.
In this connexion, it may be worth while
to report another fatal scene aboard of the
Florence. As she passed Pleasant Island a
few weeks since, a native stowed himself
away on board,—a few days after he made
his appearance, and for some days he had
full liberty of the deck. It was noticed he
seemed to be a little deranged. He seemed
to be suspicious that some one wanted to kill
him. Lying between two sailors, sleeping
on the forecastle, he took from the sheath of
1874.
one of them a knife, and stabbed him in the
abdomen, fatally. The native then sprang
below, and in passing another sailor, stabbed
him in three different places, one in the abdomen,—who ran on deck and fell dead.
The savage then secured two knives and a
large spear, and took refuge in a bunk,
threatening with death any one who should
approach him. It was impossible to get him
from his place till his life was taken. The
name of the one person killed was E. Thois,
a German boy. The name of the other was
John A. Cooper, of Placerville, California, a
young man. The death of these two sailor
boys, with that of the savage, or crazed native, cast a gloom over the vessel. And how
much it was deepened by the suicide of the
steward! And to us all how do these lessons speak—to prepare for death. The youth
sleeping on the deck, little thought when he
laid down to rest, how near the end of life
was here ; and the other youth, reading on
the hatch-way, little knew his hour had
come. O that all would prepare for death,
by a humble trust in Jesus, and love to him;
then when death comes, all the future would
be one of joy. What is that future to those
who regret a Saviour's love ?
Let me give you the report, just in from
the Europa, Capt. McKenzie. A few days
since a terrible gale swept ashore the Lenora,
Capt. Hayes, on Strong's Island, making a
complete wreck of her. Further particulars
we do not get of this wreck,—whether any
lives were lost or not—it is presumed there
were none.
To-morrow morning the Joseph Maxwell
leaves us, and we are feeling that she is
about the last messenger bird we shall have
along. The horizon seems to be shutting
down about us—shutting out the world, and
shutting us up to our work on Ponape. But
that shutting in is not like the curtains of
night, nor like the iron doors of a prison.
We are shut in and up to our blessed work,
and Jesus we trust is in our midst, or with
us. Where he is there can be no night, no
gloom, no prison, but all is fear and joy.
We can report nothing very special with
us. But we are happy to hear the work of
the poor creatures is going on splendidly,
gloriously, on little Pinalap.
Kind regards to dear friends.
Yours fraternally,
E. T. DOANE.
Freaks of Sailors.
It is quite surprising what strange freaks
young men will sometimes pursue. Some
years ago, we remember to have met a
young Englishman attached to an American
whaleship, who remarked to us, " I am the
fallen son of a noble sire."
Another young Englishman, who became
implicated in the sailors' riot in Honolulu in
1852,and who was sentenced to a year's
imprisonment in the old fort at the foot of
Fort street, wrote to his friends that he was
to the fort in Honolulu," as he
"wassurgeon
called upon to exercise his medical
knowledge among the prisoners.
Some years ago a young physician from
a gbod family in Pennsylvania, and a dc-
scendant of good President Dwight of Vale
College, found himself a sailor dh board an
American whaler in Honolulu. He was
anxious to leave the ship, but on no consid-
eration would the master discharge him.
He disappeared, and the master offered 8150
for his arrest. No trace could be found of
the young man, and the ship sailed. In a
few days he appeared in the street, and as
he was well known to the Chaplain, the
question was asked, "Where have you been
concealed ? " To our astonishment he replied, " In the garret of your Bethel, and 1
have heard you preach two Sabbaths!
He
also informed us that he was wont during
the day to survey the town and harbor from
the belfry.
We shall not soon forget a sailor from
Canada, the son of an Episcopal clergyman,
who left home, but under a feigned name.
His mother, distracted with sorrow, wrote us
to ascertain the whereabouts of her sailor
boy. After much enquiry we finally succeeded in decoying the young man into our
sanctum. After we had learned certain facts
from his own confession, we revealed to him
his true name, and handed to him his mother's letter! His astonishment may be well
imagined. He subsequently returned home,
but not until visiting the mines of California to make his pile !
"
Letter from the Rev. P. J. Gulick.
It will be remembered by our readers that
this venerable missionary left Honolulu with
his family—en route for Japan—passengers on
the I). C. Murray, early in May. Let it
be noticed that Mr. Gulick had not previously visited California or America since his
arrival at the Islands in 1828. We copy as
follows from his letter:
" San Francisco, May 29.
"Our voyage throughout was very pleasant.
We reached here on the 16th inst.,
and were immediately invited to make our
home at Mr. Benchley's, (a deacon of Dr.
Stone's church), whose kindness and hospitality to us has been unbounded.
" The first appearance of this city, was to
me, rather unpleasant; but traveling about
in it, and viewing it from the elevated residence of our kind host, has quite changed my
opinion. The rapidity and thoroughness of

TBE FRIEND,
[from the Issue Wreath ]
The Temperance Inspiration.
At long intervals in the history of a nation
or a race the laws of action, of advance or
retrogression, are broken in upon by some
powerful burst of popular and vigorous sentiment. These inspirations nre not to be
judged by any limited standard which fails
to comprehend the full sweep of their spirit,
or which is the outgrowth of a momentary
or superficial glance. We should regard
them most reverently, bringing up from the
past the countless reasons for their birth,
leaving to an impartial future its own verdict. We believe that the Woman's Crusade of America, as it is popularly termed,
will take its place in history as one of the
grand, pure movements of humanity, as one
of the epic events of this century.
Thank God that the enthusiasm of the
race has not died out; that it is possible for
men, better still that it is possible for women in times of great national emergency to
link their names with some heroic enterprise.
The grand conflicts of all time, for which
brave men and women have been willing to
offer what was best and dearest to them,
have had for their foundation the revolutionary spirit in its best and broadest sense.
The giant and false images of sin and error
before which the world has prostrated itself,
have been hurled down and shattered by the
prayers and tears and resolute actions of
those who have risen against them in one
sublime concert of effort. We have grown
almost out of a knowledge of the resources
of glorious reform which are left to us.
Have we indeed ever fully known them ?
Are we willing to accept them ?
The utter materiality of the age is hurting us all. We are afraid of doing anything
to retard what seem fixed and inevitable
laws, even if they are those of moral decay.
No, no, there is a better way for us. We
may all of us be enthusiasts, be reformers in
a most holy cause. No darker image has
ever shadowed God's fair earth than that of
intemperance and (notwithstanding the fact
that much effort has been made to destroy it)
it still fearfully defies all principles of right
and justice.
The uprising of the women of Ohio is no
feeble display of sentiment, no vulgar desire
for applause. It is the brave protest of womanly hearts, cruelly wronged, yet full of
generous, holy emotion and the hand of God
has been in it. The out cries which come
from this side and that in reference to this
unusual and hence presumed unwomanly
warfare are as idle as the idle wind. One
feels almost a contempt for that belittled
spirit which seems incapable of grasping the
real issues at stake and flings at one of the
sweetest, most righteous efforts of our time
JULY, 1874.
Report of the Examining.
Honolulu, June 2*tb, 1874.
To the Trustees of Oaku College:
(Jentlemen—The undersigned having been appointed by your honorable body to attend the annual examination of tbe institution under your
care do report as follows:
The general appearance of the school betokens
prosperity. There is a sufficient attendance of
scholars to give life to tbe daily routine, to excite
emulation in the different classes, and to stimulate the teachers to do their best. The material,
too, seems to be good. There is therefore nothing in this line to cause discouragement, but, on
the contrary, much to sustain hopes for tbe
future.
The teachers appear as a body, and individually, to advantage. They arc evidently interested
in their work, and no better proof of this need
be cited than the spirit of earnestness that seems
to characterize tbe scholars. This last is perhaps
a matter of as much importance as that of especial proficiency in individual branches of study,
underlying as it does, all real success and true
usefulness. Of course this eamc earnestnese indicates good discipline.
The examinations were very well carried on,
and appeared to be on the whole, fair tests of
ability, as much so probably as verbal examinations can be. The common failing in the recitations, however was noticed of poor enunciation.
Where there was reading however either from
written slips, or from books as in translating this
was not so apparent as it was in the answers to
questions. A prompt, energetic style of speaking, should always be required of every scholar,
whether it is necessary to the teacher's hearing
or not. Scholars too, should be taught to rise
promptly at the calling of tho name, to look tbe
teacher full in the face, at least for tho greater
part of the time when reciting ; also to feel that
due respect is to be paid to themselves personally,
and thus a habit of confidence and self-respect be
induced. These are matters of primary importance in every school. Training even as to the
proper amount of motion required from the organs of speech especially of the lips, is someis to be long, but the end is sure. In our times necessary, as observant persons have reown Island Kingdom, are we to feel the marked that in this climate tbe children of forparents are very apt to be negligent in their

Previous to noticing the English literature de-
its petty sarcasms and empty arguments.
It was time for something more than dry
statistics, something more than formal and
largely stereotyped temperance operations.
The country, especially since the war had
lain heavily burdened beneath a useless,
self-imposed cause. Where was the way
out ? The shadows seemed to be gathering
more darkly about the life of thousands. It
is our belief that the women of America
gave the only possible answer in their prayers and simple earnest endeavors.
Have we not thought it most heroic, has
not the world been jubilant with praise when
some girl has taken her place at the oar and
shot out through blinding mist and spray,
over wild waves to bring hope and life to
those fast sinking ? Shall we not send the
best sympathy of our hearts when we see
scores of women hastening to the rescue of
those engulphed in the bottomless ocean of
sin ? Verily these are the most Christ-like
Crusaders the world has ever known.
The success of the temperance reform in
America, is to be attributed to the fact that
no power but Divine has been sought in its
progress. In the Divine rule at certain
periods there seem to come grand out-breathings of heavenly inspiration, before which
nothing may stand. They are heralds of
the better time, preparing the way for the
coming of the perfect day. It is now the
time of Pentecost.
We read ofthose fearful whirlwinds which
sweep over certain seas, that while on every
side there is the wild tumult of struggle and
battle, yet at the centre on their onward
march, there is a fatal calm, the very hlankness of hope and life. If we look at all out
into the world we see signs every where, promising long and severe contest, between
wrong and right. The battle which is to be
waged against the worship of false images

It is a noteworthy fact, that while the
Legislature is hastily passing an Act authorizing the distillation of rum on the sugar
plantations, the only planter in the Legislature voted three times against the passage of
the Act! This fact is a good and satisfactory answer to a long and full editorial column in the last issue of the Advertism:
It is not in the power of any writer to make
rum-making, rum-selling or rum-drinking
harmonize with the well-being of sound political economy, good morals or Christianity.
Manufacture of Rum.—We learn that a
bill authorizing the distillation of rum on
the sugar plantations, has already passed to
a third reading before the Hawaiian Legislative Assembly. We do hope His
Majesty will exercise his veto power
and effectually arrest the passage of so injurious a law. Let the King follow President Grant's example, when Congress passed
the bill for inflating the currency. The
American people almost unanimously approved the President's veto, and so we honestly believe a large majority of Hawaiians
and foreigners would approve the King's
veto, if exercised.

The exhibition on Friday night marked high as
a test of ability. Considerable attention has
been paid to declamation, and the whole performance was better than ordinary. The Mock Court
dialogue, and the Literary Charade were admirably done.
The gymnastic department should not be overlooked. It is a most important part of the training, and all tbe pupils, with due regard to individual needs in particular cases should be required to share in its benefits. Too continued
exercise should sot bo undertaken at one time.
The teacher in this department has labored faithfully and to good effect.

ways engaged in the business. They hold
prayer-meetings in the churches, while the
women pray in the saloons or in the streets;
they stand pledged to defend from any insult
or bodily harm; they subscribe money for
legal defense, if the women are arraigned.
Already some three or four hundred
saloons have been closed up, and as many
more are actively beseiged and will have to
yield. If the snow and slush and the severe
cold of the past two months have been no
impediment to the prosecution of the work,
surely the pleasanter days of opening spring
will offer nothing in the weather to retard
the work. Success is assured so far as stopping the business as conducted openly is
concerned. But what will be the permanent
influence on liquor-selling is a matter about
which diverse opinions are held. Some say,
with apparent reason, that the sentiment of
opposition to the business will have more
decided influence in our communities. Only
a generation ago drinking was no bar to
church fellowship and the liquor dealer was
a respectable individual. It was a decided
advance to say to the inebriate and to the
tippler, you cannot be in good standing in
the church, and for the saloon keeper to be
considered as having no respectable standing.
Now it is proposed to tolerate no longer the
open temptation to the vice of dram-drinking.
If liquor is sold and drunk, it shall be in no
public place or way ; it shall not flaunt its
banners in the faces of an outraged people ;
it shall not tempt with gilded halls the youth
who has not formed the habit of tippling, or
the man given to the vice by habit and who
might reform. The war on the drug-stores
has revealed the source of much respectable
drinking, and has been extremely unrelenting and generally successful. Physicians
are rebuked for countenancing the habit and
druggists are pledged to sell no more. It
seems some of the druggists have done a
large business in supplying a certain class of
tipplers, and they have fought hard to keep
the trade. Drug-stores have multiplied and
grace nearly every corner, and the unsuspecting wondered that so many found
business to do. This is a new revelation
and our people were not prepared for, and
the amount of their traffic in long-necked
bottles is found to be a principal source of
revenue.
The movement is a surprise in the way it
spreads. It now reaches to more than a
dozen counties in our state and has sprung
up in Indiana. We have only seen perhaps
the beginning of it. Women go in delegations from conquering to new conquests with
flame in hand, and so pass on the " heat"
which Dio Lewis says is required.- To a
conquering host achievements give courage
and assure success.
The arm of the law has not been invoked
as a principal agent. But doubtless our
laws have lent important aid in the movement. As a general thing, neither side have
made appeals to law. It did not become
saloon keepers to appeal to that law they
daily violated to protect them simply from
annoyance of prayers and singing. But,
when it comes to law, the temperance people
have the advantage. If this movement does
nothing else than secure the enforcement of
the laws we have, it will be a great success.

departments of missionary work. He was a
member of this Board from its organization,
*nd for several years its Vice President. In
the year 1842, at the earnest request of Kaiiiehameha III. and his chiefs, he left his
more appropriate missionary work to engage
in the then difficult and intricate affairs of
government. He died at his home in Honolulu, July 12th, 187J. His end was peace.
For many months he had been laid aside
from active labor by sickness. He desired
to depart, for his work was done.
Mrs. Charlotte F. Baldwin died at Punafaou, Honolulu, October 2d, 1S73. For three
years previous to her death she had been a
patient sufferer from painful sickness. She
too has gone to her bright reward, to be forever with her Lord, where she ever desired
to go when her time for work was done, and
when she could no longer be useful to her
family and friends. Great was her love for
the Hawaiian nation even to the end of
her life.
Kev. S. W. Nueku died at Honolulu September 18th, 1873, where he came for medical advice. He was a member of the Hawaiian Board, and was with us in the enjoyment of good health at our last annual
meeting. He had been for some years pastor of the church at Halawa on the island of
Molokai. He was a truly devoted pastor of
the church, and much esteemed by the people among whom he labored.
Rev. J. W. Kaiwi died at Waimea, Island
of Kauai. He was one of the first missionaries of the Hawaiian churches to the Marquesas Islands, where he labored well for
eighteen years. They who have visited
those islands as delegates to the mission can
bear testimony to the high esteem in which
he was held by his associates in the mission
—to his humble unassuming Christian character, and to his good influence and faithful
labors among the Marquesans. Failing
health caused his return to these islands two
years since.
Miss Maria Ogden was one of the second
reinforcement sent to these islands in 1827.
Forty-six years she labored with untiring
devotion and with much success, chiefly in
educating and training Hawaiian females
for usefulness. Many not only in the Hawaiian Islands but in the islands beyond,
are reaping the fruits of her labors of love.
Miss Ogden died suddenly April 3d, at the
advanced age of 82 years.

places, there has been a defiant, open avowal
by prominent men, and even in native newspapers, of heathen views on moral questions.
We hope and believe, however, that by
the merciful help of God, these evils will be
abated. They might be much worse, and
are liable to become so, unless God working
through his people by his Spirit, interposes
to save this dying nation by reformation,

this Association have been filled with joy by
the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit upon His

A history of tbe so-called war between some ol

been laid before tbe Hawaiian Board. His
bouse was invaded. Bullets from tbe guns of
the enemy penetrated tbe walls of the house, entering tbe rooms over the beads of those within
and passed out at tbe opposite side of the building and lodging in a cocoanut tree beyond. The
roof of theChurch was removed, lest tbe enemy
should set fire to it, and thus destroy tbe whole

Resident, or Governor, bad no complaint to make
against our Missionary in regard to this so-called
war. The Missionary appears to have acted with
prudence, and only on the defensive.
We left Atuona about 5 o'clock A. M. of May
29ib, and arrived at Puamau, Hivaoa, on tbe
30th of the same month. There is a very large
population at this place. We saw more people
here than at any other place where we visited.
The house of Kekela was thronged with men,
women and children all the time we were there.
Arrangements bad been made before we arrived
at the Marquesas to have the General Meeting at

1. The removal of many of the people to
other Islands.
2. The death of their Missionary.
3. The unhappy occurrence which took place
there some years since. I refer to a number of
tbe people having been brought to the Hawaiian
Islands, where many of them died. The people
have not, and probably never will forget that
painful circumstance. They now call the Hawaiian Missionaries, He poe pepehi kanaka. The
Church here is demoralized. So also is the
Church at Honomcnu, and the Church at Uabuna
is in the same category. That Island, where we
once bad a large Church bas not been visited by
a Missionary for twfO years and more. The members of the Chnrch'are said to be scattered all
over tbe other Islands, but no one knows the
place of their abode. On this Island there is a
field for a good Missionary. The place is well
adapted for a Boys Boarding School. There is no
Priest on tbe Island, and it is an open field that
may be worked with much hope of success.
After finishing our work at Omoa we turned
our faces towards home. Stopped at Ationa to
land Kekela and Hapuku ; at Uapou to land Kauwealoha, and take on board freight; and at Kaiohae, the Metropolis, to pay our respects to the
Resident. We did not have the pleasure ol
meeting His Excellency, as he bad not returned
from Tahiti. Wo were informed by the acting
resident that ho had no complaints to make
against our Missionaries, and he assured me that
they should have equal protection with the
Romish Priests.
Wo left Uapou on the 9th of June. Five days
after crossed tho Lino. Arrived at Honolulu on
Friday, June 26th. We have anchored eight
times. Were absent 80 days. Sailed 6ome 7000
or 8000 miles. During the whole voyage we
have experienced the rich blessing of Him whose
we arc, and whom we serve.
The Marquesas Islands now have a population
of 8000—less rather than more. The Romanists
have nine Priests, eight on the field, five Lay
Brethren and three Nuns. We have three -Stations, three Missionaries and their wives.
Our Missionaries work with tbeir hands, instruct the people in Schools, and endeavor to
point them to Him, who has said—" lam the
way, the truth, and the life." Hivaoa is the
most important Island of the group, as to size,
resources and population. There are at least
4000 people on the Island, and may be 5000.
Though your Delegates did not find the Mission
work progressing at the Marquesas as they would
have desired, yet neither did they see anything
which would lead tbem for a moment to tbink of
abandoning the field. Nothing in the character
of the men who have labored there. These to be
sure are not perfect, as we are not. Have made
mistakes, as we have made mistakes, yet they
have done a good work- They are true Christians,
and desire the extension of Christ's Kingdom.
We saw nothing in the character of the people
for whom the Missionaries have labored to lead
us to forsake the field. Low and debased as these
are, and you here in this Christian land can
hardly conceive how debased they are, they are
not more debased than were those heathens whom
Paul describes in the Ist Chapter of Romans.
These debased ones have souls for whom Christ
died, as He diedforus. If Heloved them enough to
give His life a sacrifice to provide a way of salvation for them, ought we not to love their souls
enough to give of our abundance to support those
who are willing to labor for their good ?
There is nothing in the blessed Gospel which
has been preached to these degraded ones to lead
us to forsake that field.
This Gospel is the same
power of God to tbe
Milvation of men now that it was 1900 years ago.
We would urge the Hawaiian Board to continue the work there with more zeal, energy and
faith. The night of toil has been long and dreary,
but not more so than it has been in other Missionary fields. A footing has been obtained. It
cannot now be said as it was asserted in 1851,
that at different periods various Missionaries essayed to establish themselves here, but they have
all failed. Not a single true conversion has taken
place. Sinoe then, and by tbe labors of Hawaiians,
your Missionaries, it has been demonstrated, that
tbe Gospel is not a failure, even among tbe blood
thirsts, cannibal Marquesans. There is power, in
the Gospel of Christ to reach even these. Tbesame
Gospel which reformed the lying Cretians, converted the effeminate and licentious Corinthian,
and abolished tbe idols of Ephesus, has also in
these latter days converted tbe Marquesan and
made him an Ileir with Christ to an heavenly inheritance. Let us correct speedily whatever has
been wrong in the labors of the 21 years past,
but let us be slow, very slow, in issuing tbe edict,
which will close our work begun on those Islands,
and lose for us the victories already gained. May
the Head of tho Church give us wisdom to devise
the best means to benefit that people, and prudence
and energy to carry out what may be devised.
Knowing that our Lord has said, I am with
you always" let us gird on anew our armor to
do battle for our Lord and King. Victory ii sure.
Why hesitate? God calls. Let him hear the
devout prayer going forth from each one of our
hearts. Here am I Lord. Do with me, my
property, my strength, my life, my all as seems
best to Thee. Lead and I will follow, and following Him we will gain the Conqueror's Crown.
Do you ask what is needed to infuse new life
into this Mission ? I answer, new Missionaries,
strong faith and earnest prayer.

regret to part with our fellow laborer in the
Christian ministry. For five years he has
officiated as pastor of the Foreign Church

HELr FROM ENGLAND.
Among the host of heroes that came to
adventure under the standard of the gallant
Prince, there appeared a plain bluff Englishman named John Coffin, who was nothing more than a tallow chandler of Cheapside, London; but he came with five* well
appointed ships filled with armed partisans,
and all provided by his own long purse. He
-came to respond to the appeal of the noble
Prince, the cousin of his King Henry Y.,
being inspired by memories of the lovely
Princess Phillipa, whom he had seen upon
her palfrey grace the streets of London. 7
When the sagacious King Joao saw the
—
force and means that had sprung up to re-
spond to the enthusiasm and heroic purpose
of Prince Henry, and especially when he
the substantial ships of the Englishman
cast anchor in the Tagus, with the banner of
the Prince at their mainmasts, he felt that
the enterprise had assumed a proportion
■which deserved the serious consideration of
himself and of his government; and which
it was important that he as King should control and direct. And thus as usual would
conservative caution step in, as it does everywhere, to reap the fruits of the enthusiasm
and enterprise of genius. And the old fogyism of the Court of Lisbon was glad to avail
itself of the success of an enterprise, which
its cautious spirit had led it to condemn.
But Joao was a true Prince, who denied not
to his son and his associates the full meed
of glory, which their enterprise deserved.
He joined his armies to the enterprise, and
.noon the Tagus beheld a great fleet, on
board of which was a great army ready to
■sail for the coast of Africa.
Queen Phillipa lay on a bed of sickness,
whilst the fleet, being detained by contrary
winds, was awaiting an opportunity to depart. Her faithful warrior boy was watching by the bed-side of his precious mother,
—and she was encouraging him to leave her
to go on his great enterprise. By and by, a
gust shook the casements, and she enquired,
'* What wind is that blowing so hard, which
now shakes the chamber ? " " The north
wind," said her servants.
"That is the
Portugal, and deserving of mention along
with her great son among the prophetic
voices to be honored by America. And it
would seem that she inherited the spirit from
her brave father, —that Gaunt of Lancaster,
who says in Shakespeare :
" Methinks I am a prophet
new inspir'd;"
And then gives utterance to his glorious
eulogy of England. She passed away
without witnessing any of the glories of her
illustrious son. The chroniclers of Portuguese history all speak of her with enthusiasm, —not only of the nobility of her character, but of the great beauty of her person,
which she preserved unto her latest days,
along with a transcendent sweetness and
serenity of disposition. She was the idol of
the people, and her royal husband found it
necessary in order to win popular approval
of any public act, to let it be known that it
met the approbation of Queen Phillipa. H
CAPTURE OF CEUTA IN 1415.
The expedition sailed on the day mentioned by the Queen. When the fleet arrived
at Ceuta, Henry was the first man to leap
ashore; and after three days of terrible
storm and siege of one of the strongest fortresses of those times, and after forty thousand human carcasses had encumbered the
streets of the Moorish city, Prince Henry
was hailed as a conqueror, about the same
time that his cousin Harry of England won
his great victory of Agincourt. He, standing
amid the gore and debris of a sacked citadel,
was honored by various titles given to him
by his father; and the King then caused to
be proclaimed, that the Prince should ever
after be hailed by his countrymen by the
title of
" HENRY THE ILLUSTRIOUS."
But though this great Prince had proven
himself a warrior, and a captain of the first
class, like his royal father, the hero of Aljubarotta ; like his grandfather the Lord High
Admiral; like his great uncle the Black
Prince ; and like his uncle Henry IV. and
his cousin Harry Y. of England. Yet war

all his distinguished warlike and princely
relatives. The capture of Ceuta was not
for him an opening to farther conquest; but
simply a gateway by which he might enter
a new pathway of discovery leading into and
throughout Africa. Having established the
freedom of Mediterranean waters for Portugal, and the privilege to pass unmolested
through the Straits of Gibraltar, and to adventure along the coasts of Africa, he lait
aside his arms, dropped the discussion o
war; and became only interested in talkin
with men of science, and with travelers
He assembled around his person African
traders and travelers. He had negroe
brought to him from the interior of the con
tinent,—the blacks of Jalof,—and with pa
tient study of their language, endeavored t
find out some of the secrets of the grea
Ethiopian land. He especially wished t
determine whether or no a navigable sea
bounded its southern shores, and would per
mit a Portuguese fleet to sail along it
coasts, till doubling some southern extremity
it could sail northward into the waters of
India, and thence to the Red Sea. He saw
that this would be the great and easy highway to the treasures of the East, and if
found out by him would win for Portugal
the wealth and renown, that Arabs, Egyptians, and Lombards of his day had been
winning for ages. However the Prince's
passion was more for discovery than acquisition. He preserved his mother's faith to
open up new ways for the Cross, and to enhance the glory of his country by carrying
her religion and her flag into unknown
lands. But this ardent soul was checked by
the ignorance and fears of his age. A gateway was opened, but he could find none
willing to enter on the pathway beyond. A
degree or two beyond the Straits was the
limit of enterprise in his day. The great
gulfs leading to destruction as then supposed
lay beyond thestorrny headland of Cape Non;
and the navigation of those days would not
leave the limits of well known coasts.
But Henry who had studied carefully all
that was said about the navigations of Hanno,
Eudoxus, Menelans and the Periplus of the
Erythroean sea, and whose clear mind
doubted not that nature was controled and
regulated in all parts of the globe even as he
beheld in the Mediterranean sea, saw that
men needed more knowledge to get rid of
many imaginary terrors of unknown seas,
and heresolved to concentrate all information
from geographers and mariners in

He retired to a re'.rtat near the i ofty head

and Vnere he established an academy for the
study of navigation, and the first observatory.
He who had gathered around his standard
at one time, heroes to capture and destroy a
strong city, was now equally successful in
rallying around his person, men of skill to
enable him to assault the dangers of the
deep. His chief worker was one James of
Majorca; but there came also many captains
and geogaphers, and among others Perestrello, who had with him a little Phillipa,
that was to help yield a great influence,
in stimulating maritime enterprise and discovery, even as the illustrious royal Phillipa
.
had done.
THE FIRST CHART MAKER.
The especial skill of this little maiden's
father was to delineate the outlines of lands
and waters ; and his pencil was one of the
foremost under the direction of the great
Prince, to make the first of charts for the
purpose of navigation. A story is told by
Mattheo in relation to this cartographer and
his daughter, which is an illustration not
only of the enthusiasm and research of the
period inspired by Prince Henry, but also of
the noble spirit of the women, which in that
day stimulated the enterprise of men.
Perestrello though a noble Italian cavalier,
and distinguished by his Prince for his voyages and discoveries as well as his charts,
was somewhat negligent in respect to his
means of subsistence ; and on one occasion,
when he desired to execute a large chart, he
had no proper material for its delineation
and he could not conveniently procure it,
not having in his purse even a solitary
maravedi; but the enthusiastic and loving
Phillipa understanding the need, and sympathizing with the desire of her zealous
father, took from her scanty wardrobe a
garment of fine linen, which furnished the
desired surface for the delineations of the
cartographer. And this Phillipa, beautiful
and enthusiastic, and of a nature to inspire
men of high purpose became

and the great Prince the promoter of discovery, and the great discoverer himself, both
derived their inspirations from two women
of the same name,—both naturalized in
Portugal, the one an English woman and
the other an Italian ;-—and the world should
recognize how much the founders of its
greatest movements and acquisitions in
modern days were indebted to the inspiration of two noble women, who in an era that
produced an Isabella of Spain, showed that

The Friend Useful for Reference.—
An old resident now in Bremen, acknowledging a hie of the Friend since 1852, thus
writes: " Since my first visit to Honolulu
I have been collecting sheets of the Friend,
but always found parties eager to borrow
them for information, and, passing; from
hand to hand a good many times, disappeared, and prevented me from getting complete files together. 1 shall be glad to have
you send me by next vessel, such files as
you can spare prior to 1852, also a complete
bound volume which will be issued this

similar testimony, and would add that we
are prepared to furnish complete files from
May, 1852, at a reasonable deduction from

and discoveries of M. Mariette, a French
savant and explorer. When it was our privilege to visit Egypt in December, 1669, we
wandered through this necropolis or city of

whom belonged the honor of opening up
those ancient treasures gathered from the
tombs, and now safely deposited in the

dead " was the burial place of the ancient
city of Memphis. At present it is covered
by the sands of the desert, and the ruins explored by M. Mariette were approached by
excavating and removing sand. The task
was herculean, and he merits much praise
for his genius, scholarship and perseverance.

solid granite, each one of which is sufficiently
large to contain the dead body of a sacred
bull. The number of the huge sarcophagi
cannot be ascertained, as the sands of the

whole city—that of Sakkara, is buried beneath the sand. We entered temples which

�I II h FRIEND,
Just as the paper was going to press
we received a private letter from one of a
large party, which has recently visited the
volcano, and we copy as follows, under date
of July 27th:
" We started just a week ago to-morrow,
in the fresh and dewy morning, quite a party
of us, you know. " The woods through
which we passed seemed more than ever enchantingly beautiful and tropical. We had
delightful weather all the way, reaching
Kilauea at a little after three o'clock. The
House is delightfully comfortable and seems
a magical contrast to the old-time quarters.
We enjoyed everything from the glow of
the open fire-place to the strawberries and
ohelos, from the fresh bracing mountain
breeze to the steam of the sulphur bath.
evening we watched the fires
" Tuesday
from
the brink of the old crater. The reflection on the clouds was very fine. Wednesday morning was superbly bright and
cool with Maunaloa and Maunakea in grand
relief, perfectly cloudless. The center of
the great lake, you know, fell in during the
earthquake of '68. We walked around the
edge of the basin to the lake. We explored
a cave on the way where the specimens of
crystals, etc., were very fine. When I visited the volcano before, (1S68), the surface
of the burning lake seemed several hundred
feet below us, and we could watch the action
of the lava without much difficulty. Now
everything seemed changed. The surface
seemed within about fifty feet of us and the
heat was intense. We did not dare to remain long for fear the bank would fall in. 1
was grandly satisfied. There was a tremendous
opening in the northern part of the like
through which the lava was flowing at a
fearful rate off into some part of the large
crater. The action was terrible ! After we
left the lake, we parted company with some
of the more timid members of the expedition,
who went home the safer way, while the rest
of us pushed on over the surface of a recent
flow. We passed several caves where there
was a furious disturbance, looked down
through cracks, where the lava was flowing,
ran through steam and gasses, and at last
reached a stream of liquid lava. It has always been my most earnest desire to see the
lava near at hand, and now I was enabled
to thrust my cane into the burning lava. I
was delighted. We procured some fine specimens with coins sunk in them. Every one
reached the house safely though sadly tired.
We arrived at Hilo Thursday night, and we
have been resting ever since."

Messrs. Moody and Sankey in Scotland.
—English newspapers abound with notices
of these American Evangelists and their
labors. We have received from Mr. Waterhouse copies of the Aberdeen Daily Free

work that these gentlemen have been carry-

other places in the south of Scotland has,
besides being noticed at great length in the
daily press, received the patronage and as-
sistance of a larger and wider section of the
clergy than any movement of the like nature
within the memory of the present generation. The widespread stirring-up of religious feeling has been a fruitful subject of
comment and reflection from the General
Assemblies down to the humblest prayer
meeting or cottage gathering, and the influence of the Moody and Sankey movement
has by no means been confined to the places
they have visited.

�THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
70
The following is a copy of a letter
addressed to the Captain of the Morning
Star, by the Consul of the German Empire.
It appears that any piratical rovers engaged
in the kidnapping, business in the Pacific,
and sailing under the German flag, must
not expect to find mercy if caught. We are
glad to learn that the great nations are alive
to the honor of their respective flags, and
will not allow the same to protect any
scheme of base kidnapping.
Imperial German Consulate, )
Honolulu, July 11, 1874. J
Captain C. W. Gelett, Commander of the
Missionary Packet "Morning Star."
P'esent.
My dear sir :—Referring to our conversation on the subject of the kidnapping
of natives of the South Sea islands, as carried on by foreigners, I beg to solicit your
kind co-operation in finding out whether or
not, and if so in how far, Germans or vessels
under the German flag are implicated in this
detestable business.
Certain articles appearing in the Friend
of June Ist, of which I enclose copy, seem
to imply that such has been the case of late;
and if there exists, as is however to be
hoped, no error, it is very desirable that
more details and positive proofs, as far as
obtainable, should be procured on this matter.
The German Government is ever zealous
power to do, to
suppress this infamous trade, of which humane intentions it has repeatedly given
proof; and I should like to be in a position
to report more definitely on this subject to
to aid, as far as it is in its
Berlin.
May I respectfully ask you, sir, during
your present cruise to give this matter your
earnest attention, and to report to this Consulate on your return whatever data you
may gather when among the islands at the
different missionary and mercantile stations.
Be pleased to confer with the reverend
gentlemen at Ebon, Ponape, Ascension, etc.,
etc., etc., and in my name invite their kind
assistance in the object at hand. If not asking too much of you and the Rev. Messrs.
Snow, Whitney, Doane, Sturges, etc., etc.,
it would be highly acceptable and much appreciated if you and these gentlemen will
advise oftener than by the return of the
Morning Star, and from time to time when
an opportunity for sending letters offers, in
order to enable me so much sooner to acquaint the Imperial German Government of
what facts you may collect as you sail along.
Be assured, sir, and I beg through you to
convince the missionaries at all the stations,
that the good will of my Government is with
you all and the noble work in which you and
they labor, and that everything will be done
by Germany in the cause of Humanity and
Religion.
Wishing you and your companions on
board of the brig a safe and pleasant voyage
and happy return, I pray that God will bless
all engaged in carrying and preaching His
Word and acting in His Cause among the
interesting people of those charming isles

er what is due to outraged justice—whatever
that may be. The other speakers, strongly
opposed the idea that courts had anything to
do with justice as an abstraction or a sentiment, or the principle of vengeance, and
held that they only had to consider what
was necessary for the protection of society,
and on that simple ground alone would they
with benefit legislate and adjudge upon matters of penalty. They held that otherwise
there is no regulating principle in punishments known to men ; that there are no
rules of vengeance, no definite information
as to the exact nature of Divine justice, or
laws for its application to human forums.
And further that there-is no evidence that
the enactments of the Mosaic Code on this
subject, were intended to apply to the race
for all time, that on the contrary the Ten
Commandments, which were doubtless intended for universal application, positively
avoid all reference to punishment by human
tribunals; and that the quoted text " whoso
shedeth man's blood, by man shall his blood
be shed," was simply a statement of natural
consequences and not a command. Capital
punishment was further opposed, on account
of the impossibility of making amends to
persons wfio are subsequently ascertained to
have been mistakenly punished ; whereas, in
case of confinement for life a termation of
punishment, is always possible. It was also
held tint on account of averse sentiment to
capital punishment it is becoming more and
more difficult to convict criminals of murder,
and so justice is defeated and protection to
human life endangered by the very severity
by which it is sought to be promoted.
The topic of discussion for the next meeting is Prejudice.

In communities where not only those who

there is perhaps more hope for reform than

The power of well directed public opinion

control the trade of these islands, and another step would be taken towards the control of the trade of the Pacific. In view of
such results, the " half a million " of duties
imposed upon the Hawaiian sugars and collected in the San Francisco Custom House,
is a trifle scarcely worth mentioning. American statesmen are now discovering that
they have been " penny wise and pound
foolish " in regard to Canada, but they are
equally so with reference to Hawaiian Islands. " Give and it shall be given unto
you," is the enunciation of a principle, true
not only in the philosophy of Christianity
but of political economy and commerce
among nations. The point to which we
now call attention, we think, is worthy of

The United States the Gainer by Reciprocity
with Hawaiian Islands.
By late papers we learn that the United
States is about to renew its reciprocity with
Canada. One of the strongest arguments
for the renewal of this treaty, is the fact
that ever since its abrogation the United
States has been the loser. The leading men
of the country are convinced that while
Canada will be benefited, the United States
will be the greater gainer. Statistics show
that during the last few years, the high
duties and jwactical' non-intercourse have
been detrimental to the commercial interests
of the United States.
Will not the same course of reasoning
apply to the Hawaiian Islands ? /AYe think
it will. Of course we know the Hawaiian
Islands would be essentially benefited by a
reciprocity treaty, but would not a greater
benefit accrue to the United States ? We
think it would. Suppose such a treaty
should be negotiated and the agricultural interests of the islands were quickened, then
here would be opened a ten-fold greater
market for the lumber, salmon, and every
description of goods manufactured in the
United States, but especially west of the
Rocky Mountains. Should this take place,
the trade with Oregon and California would
be marvelously augmented. Our products
sugar and rice—would not interfere with
the products raised on the western coast of
the United States. Our islands are the
natural market for their products, and so the

and the sailor, we conclude our brief notice
of this interesting chapter in English history, in the words of Offor :
Shade of the noble sailor,
Thy name," Richard Carver, is worthy of all honor."
John Bunyan, the Bedford tinker, has
come to the fullness of his honors at last.
On the 10th of June a bronze statue of him,
erected in his native village, was unveiled
by Lady Stanley, wife of the Dean of Westminster. The spot chosen is within a few
hundred yards of the prison where Bunyan
spent twelve long years. The statue was
the gift of the Duke of Bedford; the address
was by the Dean of Westminster; and in
the large company present were Earl
Cowper, lord-lieutenant of the county, and
other representatives of the national Church.
At the banquet in the evening which followed the unveiling of the statue there wereChurchmen, Independents, Baptists, Methodists, an Irvingite minister, and a Catholic
priest. This fact very fitly symbolizes the
catholicity of Bunyan's immortal work.
Dean Stanley's address abounded in telling
points. One is worth quoting here :
" The
whole of English literature has produced
only two works of universal popularity, and
both of these were by Non-conformists.
One is the work of a Presbyterian journalist,
and is called Robinson Crusoe, and the
other is the work of a Baptist preacher, and,
its name is The Pilgrim's IVogress."
"Sweet Sad Story of the Cross."
Some months ago a gentleman in Honolulu forwarded the little tract with the above
title to Dr. Hepburn at Yokohama, to be
translated into the Japanese. We have just
received a letter from the translator, from
which we copy as follows " I have translated the little book and published it in
blocks. I have had 3,000 copies struck off,
at a cost of $77.00. I send one hundred

that if any one acquainted with Japanese
living in different parts of the islands will
send to us, we shall be glad to furnish gratuitously so many copies as may be needed.
Remember, it was reading a simple tract by
a Japanese acquainted with the Chinese language, which led him to forsake his country, visit China, and proceed from thence to

�THE FRIEND,
Queen Victoria.
In reading the life of the distinguished
American Baptist missionary, the Rev. Dr.
Mason of Burmah, the translator of the
Bible into the Karen language and the
author of an important work on natural history, we met with the following paragraphs
relating to the Queen of England. Dr.
Mason was a native of England, but has
spent many years in America and Burmah.
He styles himself a workingman," and has
"
written and published his autobiography under the title of The Story of a Working"
man's Life,", which is certainly a very remarkable book and richly worthy of the
perusal of every friend of missions and humanity. After spending many years in
Burmah he returns to America via England;
and upon approaching his native land, he
thus writes respecting Queen Victoria :
After a few hours detention at Plymouth,
we pushed out to sea again, and the next
land we made was The Needles, the western
extremity of the Isle of Wight. As we
went up the Solent, between the island and
the main land, both shores appeared like
gardens, cultivated down to the water's
edge, in striking contrast with the wild picturesque shores of Burmah, which we had
so recently left. The flagstaff towering
above Osborne, the Queen's residence, was
pointed out to us nearly in the centre of the
island, among the highest of its chalk hills,
and that is about the nearest approach to
royalty I ever made.
The Queen of England is the most liberal
monarch in Europe. She heads progress,
does not obstruct it. Whenever the will of
the people is unmistakably made known
through the House of Commons, she never
sets herself against it, as the Lords often do,
but, whatever may be her private opinion,
acquiesces in it more readily than half the
American Presidents. We never hear of
measures of great public good being vetoed
by the President.
The workingmen of England owe more to
Queen Victoria than to all the previous
monarchs that have sat on the throne since
the days of Alfred. Her name will go down
to posterity on more acts for doing justice
and loving mercy to the wronged, oppressed,
and suffering, than can elsewhere be found
in the statute books all put together. The
acts for household suffrage and the disendowment of the Irish Church, alone place
her name at the head of English reformers.
I deprecate any change at the head of the
British Government, and join heartily in the
universal cry of " Long live Queen Victoria!
!"

on Savage Island or Niu. From a letter
written by him and dated Sydney, 31st
July, we copy as follows : "After eleven
years of very happy and successful missionary work on Savage Island, we went to

Testament and Psalms, also of Genesis and
Exodus in the Savage Island dialect. I

will be interested in knowing that one portion of New Guinea is peopled by the same
race as your Hawaiians or Eastern Polynesians. The little that is known of their
language leaves no doubt of this, although
their light color and fine physique showed
that they belonged to a different race from
the Papuans. We have a small steamer—
the Ellengowan—given by a lady in Scotland for our use in visiting stations, locating

with many indications of our Master's ap-
proval."
Father Taylor, "the prince of sailor
preachers," has been worthily honored by a
memorial window in the new Methodist
Episcopal Mariners' Bethel of Philadelphia,
which was dedicated June 14th. The window is the gift of the wife of Captain Chadwick, of the United States Navy. The design on it is a " foul anchor " resting on an
open Bible, with the legend, " Father Taylor was anchored to his Bible, and the anchor never dragged." The new church is a
beautiful structure of green and drab stone.
The dedication-day was made memorable
by a gift of $20,000 from Mr. Queen, the
publisher of the New York Clipper. Mr.
Queen had taken a great interest in this enterprise, and had made large advances of
cash to the Building Committee. The repayment of these having been secured to
him, it was announced at the close of the
day that he had contributed the large sum
above named. The surprise and gratification of the congregation could hardly be described.

standing undaunted before the fierce " recoil
of the wave of heathenism," which threatened to sweep away all the barriers which
right and purity had reared.
It will be remembered, that the islands
embraced under the term Melanesia, comprise those groups known as the Loyalty
Islands, New Hebrides, Solomon Islands,
etc., which lie in a fringe off the northeast
coast
of Australia. But little had been done
in the way of reaching the inhabitants of
these groups before Bishop Selwyn visited
them, taking thence native lads to be educated in New Zealand. It was in this division
of the Pacific that the field of Bishop Patteson's duties was so largely laid, and it was
in one of its groups, the Santa Cruz, that he
met his death. In 1861 he was consecrated
Missionary, Bishop of Melanesia, an office
which be entered upon with an earnestness
and enthusiasm which ended only with his
life. Through his instrumentality, the
College on Norfolk Island was established,
which is still in operation for the education
of Melanesinn youth. This Mission work
became the sole object of his life. He never
returned to England, was never married, but
every purpose, wish, hope and affection, was
consecrated to this important work. His
researches in philology are most interesting
since in his numerous visits among the Melanesion Islands opened up to him new
people and new dialects, for the acquirement
of which he displayed a remarkable aptitude.
Is it not true that in the history of Missions are to be found the rarest examples of a
grand and liberal Christian Spirit? It would
seem as if in response to the thorough renunciation of all worldly and selfish interests
that an especial revelation of the glorious
truths of religion flashed in upon these
earnest workers in the vineyard of the
Lord ! Bishop Patteson's attachment to the
Church of England and to its ritual, was
most sincere, yet above all, he recognized
that grander Church in this world, whose
limits are placed Ly no earthly judgment,
but is in its divine beauty and perfectness
composed of all those whom Christ Himself has chosen. Over the wild waves of
sectarian debate and controversy these
words come as the olive leaf of hope—" It
isn't High, or Low, or Broad Church, or any
other special name ; but the longing desire
to forget all distinctions, and to return to a
simple state of things that seems naturally
to result from the very sight of heathen
people."
He did not seek* to overlay the truth
"
with human traditions," to confuse the mind
of a simple people by a useless and hollow
method of formalism; but he did strive with
all the power of God-given strength to break
unto hungering and wanting souls the

Aberdeen Memorial.
Within the year just closed, we have had
the satisfaction of acknowledging what will
probably be the most effective of these memorial contributions, so Tar made. This is
the gift to our treasury of £300 in gold
(81,626) by the Countess of Aberdeen, of
Scotland, to send out and keep in repair,
through the Society, from its Rooms at New
York and Boston, one hundred loan libraries,
in memory of her son, George, Earl of Aberdeen, who was for more than three years a
sailor on American vessels—and was lost at
sea, six days out from the port of Boston,
Mass., January 27th, 1870, while first mate
of the schooner Hera, of that port, bound
for Melbourne, Australia. A brief, but most
interesting record of his life may be found in
the Sailors' Magazine for May, 1874, pp.
129 to 139.
This gift was received from Lady Aberdeen, after a correspondence with the Secretary of the Society, initiated by C. H. Dabney, Esq., of New York, in which the donor
became thoroughly conversant with our Library work. With a careful and intelligent
apprehension of its history and bearings, she
adopted this as the practical and promising
means of carrying out her desire to permanently benefit the class of men with whom
her son passed so protracted and interesting
a portion of his life on earth. Her letter of
Februory 19th, 1874, reads

:
American Seamen's Friend Society, 80 Wall
St., New York, U. S. A.
Dear Sir :—I have to thank you very
sincerely for your letter of December 13th,
'73, which I delayed answering in the hope
of having some small books ready to be sent
at the same time as my letter. This is not
even now the case, but before another fortnight has elapsed I expect to be able to
transmit the parcel to your address.
1 feel extremely obliged to you for the
kind interest you take in my project and for
your promised aid in sending out the Seamen's Libraries. I enclose a cheque from
our Edinburgh agents on their London
Bankers, which they inform me will be the
most convenient method of sending you the
£300, as you can have it cashed by your
own Bankers, and get the benefit of the exchange at sight on London.
I should propose to employ £250 in sending out Libraries, and to invest £50 as a
fund for the keeping up and restoration of
the same, but you are a much better judge
than 1 can be of the proportion which ought
to be placed to the reserve fund, and I should
wish, therefore, to leave that to you.
As 1 mentioned before, I should like to
give more Libraries to Boston than to the
other seaports, owing to my son's greater
connection with that place.
The parcel of books to which I alluded,
consists of 250 or 300 copies of a small
brochure, published as an appendix to the
latest edition of the memoir of his father.
It is a very short account of our son's life,
but I think it would be interesting to the
American Sailors, whom he so highly esteemed. I should be glad if one or two were
placed in each Library. Your plan of hay-
SEPTEMBER,
ing a brass plate with an inscription on the
case seems much better than marking each

write it out on thn other side, and with renewed thanks from myself and family for
your cordial co-operation,
I remain, yours faithfully,
M. Aberdeen.

Pacific Medical Journal.
We would acknowledge from Dr. Wythe,
a copy of this journal containing an article
relating to the leprosy in the Sandwich
Islands." During his trip to the islands he
visited the Leper Asylum on Molokai in
company with His Majesty, and as a medical man took much interest in examining
the condition of those located there. His
report is highly favorable to the Board of
Health having the care of the establishment.
We copy as follows a few paragraphs :
During a recent visit to the Hawaiian
Islands, I received an invitation from the
government Board of Health, to accompany
its members and the newly-elected King, in
a visit of inspection to the Leper Asylum,
on the island of Molokai.
Near the rocky landing is the store-house,
supplied weekly by the government by
means of a small schooner, and from which
rations, etc., are dealt out under the superintendence of a former member of the Hawaiian legislature, who, on finding himself a
"
leper, voluntarily relinquished the ties which
bound him to society, and surrendered himself to the authorities. His business talents
find useful occupation in the oversight of his
fellow-sufferers. Near the store, under the
shade of a solitary group of Pandanus trees,
is a small Koman Catholic church, in which
a priest, self-exiled, officiates. A Protestant
church, I am informed, is located on the
other side of the valley.
The King and Board of Health*were welcomed at the landing by a group of between
two and three hundred, with a band of music
—all the musicians lepers—and from the
general expressions observed, I should judge
the welcome to have been a hearty one.
From the landing, we rode over about
three miles to the hospital buildings, and
under the guidance of Dr. Trousseau, the
physician of the Board, and a son of the
eminent physician of that name, I was
shown the various stages and varieties of the
disease. The patients uniformly expressed
themselves well satisfied with tbe care exercised in their behalf, and they were evidently far better offthan in their own homes.
1 came away from the asylum profoundly
impressed with the benevolence of the Hawaiian government, and the fidelity of its
agents.

A HINT
TO THE
MoNEY-BORROWER,
WILL
not pay.—lf
there is one more despicable
character than another, it is the man who
borrows money and "forgets" to return it. A
melancholy instance of the evil effects of this
is here recorded :
" forgetfulness"
At Brooklyn, N. V., on Friday, there
passed away a person who was known as
the "Twelve o'clock Man." For seven years
he had stood near the City Hall, within sight
of the clock, from eleven o'clock until the
first stoke of the noonday bell, when he
would slouch away to his home. No inclemency of the weather kept him away.
Never adequately clad, he was always at his
post at the usual hour, in the severest storms
of winter, and the warmest day of summer.
For more than five years his daily position
was at a particular part of the railing, against
the pickets of which he leaned, and looked
mournfully at the clock. If spoken to he
would mumble out an answer to the effect
that he was waiting for somebody. " He'll
come by twelve o'clock; he said he would."
No one knew his story, but many guessed a
piteous history of his life. It is now told
that he had saved a sum of money by hard
work ; that the money was borrowed of him
with a promise to pay it, with interest, on a
certain day, at noon, in front of the City Hall.
But the old man never saw the borrower
again. This unfortunate lived in an old
hut, and did odd chores in the morning to
earn a few pennies with which to buy food.
Some one has drawn his picture for a Brooklyn club, and a warm-hearted resident of the
neighborhood has tied a piece of crape upon
the railings by which he used to stand.
The Transit of Venus.
English astronomers are not unanimous
as to the situations that promise to be most
convenient for the observations of the transit
of Venus in 1874—Mr. Proctor urging certain sites, which are not approved by the
astronomer royal. Much satisfaction is expressed on hearing that M. Flourien, an
experienced naval officer and competent
observer, will be sent to the Marquesas by
the French Government. It is assumed
that you will have leading stations at
Wladiwostsk, near Yokohama and Pekin,
and in some other portions of China, Japan
or the adjacent isles, and also in one ofthe
Sandwich Islands. The Germans will occupy
three principal stations and eight subordinate
ones, while Kussia will fill no less than
twenty-seven stations, scattered through
Eastern Siberia, and stretching between the
Caspian Sea and the mouth of the Amoor,
at all of which first and last contacts will be
observed. In addition to the preparations
made in England at the coast of the State,
Lord Lindsay intends to visit the Mauritius
at the time of the transit, with a good equipment of instruments, and to provide with his
own hands and staff for more than one form
of observation. With regard to the alliance
of photography with the transit observations,
Dr. Warren dc la Rue here, and Professor
Bond in the States, hold that the measurement of the photographic images of the
transit will in all probability give results of
three-fold higher value than any direct eye
and hand observation that could be secured.

MEETING OF
THE HONOLULU Y. M. C. A.
The regular monthly meeting of the Honolulu Y. M. C. A. was held in the usual
place on the evening of the 14th ult. The
Aheong committee presented a report which
embraced a letter from that gentleman, declining the proposition made to him by the
Association that he return to this country
and labor for the salvation of his countrymen here, giving as his reasons for this decision that he is engaged in school-teaching,
nnd that the sum offered him for his support
by the Association is insufficient. The
committee also read a letter from the American Consul at the place where Aheong is
residing. The Association resolved to make
further investigations in the matter.
An essay was read by the topic committee, on Prejudice, which was followed by a
short debate. The Association was also
favored with a very profound paper on the
same subject, by Dr. Powell of New York
city. The subject announced for discussion
at the next meeting is, "The supply of
Christian workers."
The Tilton-Beecher scandal continues to
occupy a prominent place in the American
papers. We are glad to see that almost
without an exception, the newspapers of the
United States treat the reports as false.
Good will result from this unfortunate discussion. It shows that the Christian community will not tolerate a suspicion of wrong
in its most popular preacher, and furthermore that when there;; is no wrong, the
•church and the world will stand by those
falsely accused.
The subjoined letter we insert with satisfaction and pleasure, as an indication that
our labors as an Association for the good of
our fellow-men, are appreciated :
Letter frossi Two Sailors.
Honolulu, Sailors' Home, )
August 17, 1874. J
Gentlemen— We being strangers to the
port of Honolulu, and having traveled a
good deal of the world in our years of experience as seamen, (both of us being over
20 years in the British Nary) we are only
too thankful to the gentlemen of the Y. M.
C. A.of Honolulu, for the interest you have
taken in the welfare of seamen ia providing
a good Reading Room, in which they may,
or those who are willing and glad to hear
some good from the Lord, spend their leisure
hours ; also, that they can get accommodation in other ways, so we hope and trust in
God, you may see the good you are doing
for seamen, who are so much exposed to the
temptations whilst on shore, not forgetting
the kind attention paid to us by Mr. Edward
Dunscombe, the Manager of the Home, and
the kind words and treatment from him.
We also wish that the seamen would use
this Home to their best advantage,—sleeping
also. We also wish the Home every prosperity, hoping and trusting in the Lord.
Thanking also, the good people of Honolulu,
who have taken so much interest in the

Reciprocity.
There is a growing feeling throughout our
island community, that a Treaty of Reciprocity between the United States and the
Hawaiian Islands, is both desirable and may
possibly be secured. Hitherto, we think,
the question has been viewed quite too much
from an Hawaiian stand-point, and not sufficiently from an American, for unless it can
be made apparent that it will, in a national
point of view, be more beneficial to the
United States than the amount of Custom
House duties derived from Hawaiian sugars
and other products, most assuredly the
Treaty cannot be secured. Our Hawaiian
Agents going to Washington must be able to
show that America is to derive a substantial
benefit as well as the Hawaiian Islands.
Here has been one of the errors of former
negotiations. As we view the question,
America, even in a pecuniary way, is quite
as much profited as our islands.
When the subject was up for discussion in
1869, we were in tlie United States, and
conversed with members of the United
States Senate upon this subject, and at
that period, they expressed the opinion, that
the Treasury of the United States must not
relinquish any amount of duties derived
from* foreign importations. Times have now
changed. The national debt has been somewhat reduced, the effects ot the civil war
have partially passed away, and Reciprocity
with Canada is now under discussion. From
these and other considerations, it appears to
be a favorable opportunity for re-opening the
subject. The leading and influential men
in Washington are inclined to look abroad
and contract foreign alliances, which will
augment commerce and promote national
prosperity. Let now the Hawaiian Government improve this tide in the affairs of
men," and it may lead on to fortune. As
for Annexation, it should not be mentioned,
for it will only perplex the question and
hinder negotiation. Its discussion here
would only irritate the Hawaiian people, and
we are fully convinced that the United
States would not accept the little Kingdom
if offered. A Treaty of Reciprocity would
secure all the benefits to both countries of
Annexation, without any of the complicated
questions which would attend that subject.
If now the Hawaiian Government will
take firm and conciliatory ground upon this
matter, we honestly believe the authorities
at Washington would meet them half way.
Let the foreign and native community
sustain the Government, and our newspapers
cordially work together in this matter; and
above all, let those who write letters to

there does appear to be a fair prospect

CONSEQUENCES OF THE MARRIAGE OF COLUMBUS.
It is well to consider the opportunities and
influences that attended the marriage of the
Discoverer of America with the fair depositary of the accumulated knowledge and experience of the Founder of the spirit of
modern discovery and of ocean navigation ;
and if we glance at the achievements of the
latter,—undertaken with such Zealand maintained with such perseverance,—the records
and evidences of which were preserved by
the noble Dame Perestrello and her daughter,
we then can form some opinion of the value
of the knowledge and inspiration which
Columbus derived from his union with the
fair Phillipa Perestrello, in conceiving and
carrying out the discovery of a new world.
HENRY'S PASSION
FOR DISCOVERY.
The devotion of our Illustrious Prince to
the purpose of research and to enlarge the
knowledge of our earth, would be remarkable in this day; and how marvelous must
his character appear, when we consider that
his genius shone alone amid the darkness of
an ignorant, brutal and bigoted age. His
desire to penetrate beyond the dark bounds
of the then supposed impassable ocean became a passion that possessed his soul and
occupied his very dreams, like a pure, great
and ardent love. The memory and admonition of his noble inspiring mother were
never out of his heart; and it was her spirit
that bad kindled and continued to prompt
his genius. It is recorded by Mattheo and
others, that often as he wandered meditatively along by the brink of the bold bluffs
of Sagres on the coast of Algarve, he would

there must be a mighty space between Europe and India westward, where intervening islands or continents must be found.

break and turmoil of the waters that ever
fret and foam around Cape Bojador,—and
considering this point as the entrance to some
vast and destructive whirlpools and absorbing gulfs, they put their vessels about and
returned to Portugal.
HIS UNQUENCHABLE HOPE AND PERSEVERANCE.
The enthusiastic Prince was not in the
least discouraged by the poor results of the
voyage; his enlightened mind rightly judged
that the especial commotion of the sea
around an advanced point of the African
coast, which had terrified his inexperienced
captains, must be an agitation and clash of
waters caused by some strong and extensive
currents and counter-currents, which could
be avoided and passed by standing well out
to sea, and by trusting to the compass in
order to double the point. Therefore he
ordered a strong built caravel to be got
ready for another voyage, and this he placed
in charge of two faithful officers of his
household, named Juan Gonsalez Zarco and
Tristan Vaz Texeira, who fully parlook of
their Patron's enthusiasm, and were determ-
1874.
they were so delighted with the discovery,
that they resolved not to continue the search
along the African coast, but to return with
their present acquisition of knowledge, and
with evidences of their discovery to their
expectant Patron.
Prince Henry was delighted witii the
account given of this first discovery, and
first fruits of his genius and enterprise. He
thanked God and rejoiced as though he had
gained a great victory. It is true that other
islands, Lancerota, Fuertaventura, and all
the group of the Canaries had been discovered some time before in 139">; but these
islands are close to the African coast, and
their discovery was accidental; whereas the
discovery of Puerto Santo, though partly
accidental, was the result of a scientifically
planned ocean voyage.
THE FIRST OCEAN COLONY.
Immediately he planned a scheme of colonization, and in regard to the spirit of
colonizing, he as fully anticipated the great
and gallant Raleigh, as he did in the spirit
of discovery, the enlightened and persevering Columbus. He denied himself, not only
the luxuries, but many of the proper con-

of his observations,—and when so occupied,
his people were neglectful, and so, no doubt,
the rabbits got ahead of his cultivation.4 He
abandoned the Governorship and proprietorship of the colony, which was vested in him,
in order to return to take part in more congenial work for the Prince at Sagres. There
he assisted James, of Majorca, the Chief of
the College and Observatory, established by
Prince Henry, in trating out new coasts discovered, and the courses of voyages already
made, and in preparing plans for new ones
about to be undertaken by Henry's navigators. His son-in-law, the Great Discoverer,
afterwards went with his wife, Phillipps, to
reside on Puerto Santo in order to get a
living out of the wild property bequeathed
by the cosmographer; but Columbus proved
as poor a farmer, or ranchero, as his fatherin-law, and gained nothing but some increase
of knowledge and the birth of his son,
Diego, in Puerto Santo.
When Perestrello's expedition returned
from Puerto Santo with nothing to show for
the cost and the hopes of the venture, the
scoffers and those who esteemed the Prince's
enterprises as not only madly visionary, but
sacriligious, had now ample occasion for
critical comment. But the intelligent perseverance of this matchless Hero of Portugal
was wonderful. He never relaxed for a day
during forty odd years of his life, the pursuit
of discovery. He foresaw the navigation
around the dread southern coasts of Africa
unto India, and the discovery of mid-ocean
lands, as in a vision,—therefore disappointments and losses were to him stimulants to
greater exertions, and not hindrances.
DISCOVERY OF
MADEIRA.
Again he sent forth his two brave Captains,
Zarco and Texeiza, who, sailing to the
southward and westward of Puerto Santo,
discovered the Island of Madeira, —whose
dense forests caused it to receive this Portuguese name for wood. This lovely and fertile
island, like Puerto Santo, had no doubt a
people and a name of its own*; but they
have passed away, and the footstep of the
civilized discoverer has obliterated every
trace of the aboriginal dweller. The first

ment of a-colony and plantations, which
were fully successful, and contributed largely
to the revenues of the Prince and to the
advancement of his subsequent enterprises.
THE FIRST SUGAR CANE PLANTATION.
This colony of Madeira was the nursery
of two notable things of momentous consequences in the history of all subsequently
discovered and colonized western countries.
One was the introduction into this island of
some growing shoots of a beneficent plant,
obtained by Prince Henry in Sicily, but
originally brought from Southeastern Asia,
and spoken of by nn old Biblical prophet as
the " sweet cane from a far country." Our
practical as well as enthusiastic Prince planned, organized and established the first sugar
cane plantation; and such was his success
as a planter, that after about five years of
planting experience on Madeira his intend*
ant was enabled to return to him 60,000 arrobas of sugar. This was only twenty per
cent, of the annual product of the island;
and was reserved as the especial revenue of
the military order of Christ of which the
Prince was Grand Master.
THE NEGRO.
And the other notable matter was the labor, by which this tropical staple was produced so abundantly. By what hands did
our noble Prince, and the most Christian order over which he presided, produce this
profitable result ? Not by voluntary Portuguese agriculturists, who could not be in-
duced to exile themselves and could hardly
be procured except by penal enforcement;
and not by any aboriginal people of this or
of neighboring islands. But Africa's black
children, that had been toiling involuntarily
ages upon ages as chattels for Asia, were
now for lhe first time employed by Europeans
in extracting wealth out of the new lands of
the West.
PRINCE HENRY A SLAVE-HOLDER.
His acquiescence in the bondage of his
fellow men will to many minds dim the
glory of our great Prince ; and although he
was the Apostle of the Spirit of Discovery,
the Founder of Modern Progress, the first
Modern Colonizer, the first Utilizer of the
Compass, the Quadrant and the Chart, and
the Inventor of Ocean Navigation; yet in
his character as First Planter and Slave
Owner of Europe in the newly discovered
lands in Occidental seas, he will seem to
tarnish the brilliancy of his otherwise lustrous fame. But the Prince, though far in
advance of the political intelligence and enterprise of his age, was not and could not
dream of being superior to the humanity of
the faith derived from his sainted mother'
and held by the civilized world in his day,
as the only salvation of mankind. His read-
ings of St. Paul and other Primitive Fathers
of the Church, taught him that human bondage was not only acquiesced in but endorsed
by them ; he knew that slaves had been
bought and sold in Christian Rome. Egypt,
Arabia, Syria, Persia and Kome in their
days of power, and even Venice and Florence down to his time had used the negro
as a traditional slave. The sentiment of
Latin Europe had been accustomed to the
enslavement of the African ; but even had our
Prince's mind been trained by the Germanic
sentiment, which is the foundation of our
spirit of human liberty, it would not in the
fifteenth century have enlightened his spirit
of humanity in respect to African bondage.
The negro was then everywhere as in ages
past, the symbol of shivery. Grecian and
Koman sentiments of liberty had never applied to such a traditional slave race, whose
chief industry and commerce with the stranger was in the enslavement of and trade in
themselves. And there was no question of
humanity or of human liberty in Prince
Henry's mind, no more than there was in
the mind of the noble and generous Isabella
of Castile, when he and she permitted the
enslavement of their black or savage fellow
beings. The inhumanity belonged to their
age and to the whole past sentiment of the
world ; and the nineteenth century has only
in our day, seen and felt anil sought to redress this wrong.
HENRY'S HUMANITY.
But his humanity in all other respects
was of the noblest character, and far superior to the age in which he lived. He was
notably the friend of the poor, and the chivalrous defender of the oppressed ; although
this will seem so contradictory, when he could
permit the African to be torn from his home,
and to toil on his plantations. But it was
the African's countryman who tore him away
from his home, and sold him to the stranger
for a small price. Henry would not permit
violence and injustice to be done by his own
people. He was frequently obliged to repair
at great sacrifice, the injustices perpetrated
by his officers abroad. Captain Suero da
Costa had obtained seventy slaves at Palma ;
but his superior officer Joao dc Castilla, who
when Costa reported to him was recruiting
at Gomera, one of the Canary Islands, not
being satisfied with the success of his lieutenant, kidnapped a sufficient number of the
friendly Gomerans to make up a complement of one hundred slaves for Madeira.
When the Prince heard of this outrage upon
those whom he deemed not only a friendly
but a free people, he ordered that they
should be well clothed, and returned with an
abundance of gifts unto their own country.
" Le talent dc Wen faire."
The Prince was more zealous to do good,
1874.
than to win fame. He had all the religious
zeal of Columbus and of Magellan. He was
as eager as a Jesuit to work for the greater
glory of God ; but yet he was not inclined
to sacrifice his fellow men, as mere dead
matter ("perinde ac cadaver") in the accomplishment of this object. His great desire was to do good in the world ; and with
this sentiment in his heart he adopted his
famous motto, the French words: "Le talent dc bien faire; or, the talent of doing
good, which was affixed as an inscription in
every land where his navigators went.
"
HENRY AS A MISSIONARY.
When Jean dc Betancour the Norman
ceded to Prince Henry the Canary Islands
for a portion of the island of Madeira, the
Prince sent a large expeditionary force of
about 2,500 men, mainly recruited from his
military order of Christ, in order partly to
colonize the group, but chiefly to convert the
native people to the true faith. The zealous
religions officers of Henry succeeded admirably in advancing the cross at the point of
the sword. Perhaps the poor ignorant Guanches could not appreciate great truths
without some such sharp and incisive argumentation. They believed, and then passed
away, to the last man after the reception of
the new faith. Alas! for such a salvation,
which had no promise whatever for this
world ! Henry did not appreciate it, as his
officers did. He became disgusted with this
plan of propagandism, and abandoned it, and
the islands. But here we see the beginning
of the decay and destruction that has ever
attended the progress of enlightened discovery, and the beneficent intentions of
philanthropy. Guanche, Carib, and Indian
have utterly passed away, either by reason
of oppression or the abrogation oftheir old conditions oflife. The Illustrious Henry in leading the way to the discovery of the savage
world, was no doubt the unconscious instrument that commenced the destruction of its
simple minded people ; but his spirit of humanity prompted him to be a savior rather
than a destroyer ef his fellow men, and we
must not contemplate him as the one, who
having unveiled the mystery of the ocean,
led the way to the destruction of innocent savage races; but rather as the founder
of the new, progressive era of civilization
that now explores nnd peoples every nook of
our planet.

Contribution.—From theReligious
Tract Society of London, and John
Thomas Waterhouse, Esq., we would acknowledge a valuable box of religious books
and tracts, including a good supply of reading matter in the Russian language. Among
the books we notice a goodly number of
Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. Friends of
seamen cannot invest their funds in a more
suitable and useful manner than by furnishinc

�New U. S. Consul.—We notice in American
papers, Dr. Scott's appointment as
Consul in the place of the present excellent
occupant of this office. Mr. Mattoon has
now officiated as U. S. Consul during the
period of four years, and to the general satisfaction of all parties. So far as seamen
are concerned,we can truly say that we
never have heard the first complaint, and
our situation enables us to speak somewhat
intelligently upon this matter. The change
is made purely on the American principle of
rotation in office. We only hope that his
successor may discharge the duties of the
office in a manner equally correct and satisfactory. We should imagine the Hawaiian
Government would retain a man of Mr.
Mattoon's ability and integrity.

Burns and Sankey in Scotland.
A Scotch paper, telling of the wonderful
popularity of Mr. Sankey's revival hymns,
says :
" In one short half year a set of hymns
and tunes have sprung to a place which even
the songs of Burns hardly reached in their
palmiest days. You hear them in drawingrooms, in workshops, in dressmakers' rooms,
in Sunday-schools, and at prayer-meetings ;
you hear them hummed by the thoughtless
gamin, and accompanied with the concertina by the itinerant street singer; the fisherman in his boat, the plowman in the field,
the mother lulling her infant, all resort to
them ; north and south, east and west, nothing is so popular as Sankey's hymns. Apart
from its religious significance, this is a remarkable phenomenon in an intellectual and
social point of view. What a power must
there be in any set of songs that acquire so
wide and so sudden a popularity."
These hymns and songs are the same as
those sung among the young throughout the
United Stales. Many of them have been
translated into the Hawaiian language, by
the Rev. Mr. Lyons of Waimea, Hawaii.
Only a few weeks since we received from
Mr. Waterhouse, then visiting Scotland,
specimens of these hymns, and already they
are spreading among Hawaiians through the
columns of the Knokoa.

Loan of the French War Stramkr I.'Hermite.—We
have received the followingparticular* or Ihe los* of theabove
vessel, from an officer of tbe Dido:—"On the 10th July the
Cyphrenes arrived at Kandavu from San Fraociaco,and reported having passed just before dusk, on the Bth, a large
steamer on shore at Wallia Island. This Information being reported to Captain Chapman, of 11.M. rt. Dido, he immediately
left Levuka for that place, where he arrived on the 20th, and
found that the vessel reported waa the French war steamer
l-'Hermite, 7 guns, 1,000 tons, Captain Melt. She was lying
on her beam ends at the western extremity ol the entrance,
Ihe seas breaking heavily over her. From her position and
the distance shehad been driven on tbe reef, any hopes of saving her were seen lo be out ot the question. 11. M. S. Dido
having steamed through the entrance and anchored, Captain
Chapman sent at once and offered any assistance to thecaptain, who, returning with the lieutenant, aent tocall on him,
remained on board the Dido all that day writing hia despatches,
ir. Captain Meil was very grateful, and expressed his
thanks, stated that beyond supplyinghim with some provision*
and taking back letters to Fiji, he waa not in want ol any furtherassistance. He reported that ranking Wallis Island from
the eastward, on the 30th June,and rounding to paas In at the
narrow entrance through the reef, the vessel was met by a
itrong tideof nearly 6 knots running out. Thinking ahe would
not round to in time, he shifted the helm and attempted to go
outj it was however too late, and the vessel waa swept broadside on to the western reef, on which a heavy surf was breaking,causing the ship towork and strain to such an extent thnt
the captain fearingmomentarily her breaking up decided to
abandon her. This operation was accomplished with great
difficulty, and with the loss of two men. Two officers were
dispatched in the whaler to Fortuna, a distance of 130 miles,
for succour, the German hark San Francisco waa lal'en In
with, and immediatelyproceeded with the bout's crew to Wallis Island. Eighty men were went in her to Noumea, the captain and the remaining seventy men stsying on the island to
save all that was possible from the wreck. Most of her spars,
Mils, and stores had been landed, and working parties were
still able to get on hoard at low water. Hopes were entertained that, the weather remaining line, the guns might be saved.
The L'Hermite was nearly a new vessel,and left France only
some eight months ago, coming out through the Straits of Magellan; and after visiting Society and other groups was bound
to New Caledonia."—Sydney Morning Herald.

All these vessels are now in active service,
and are largely contributing to aid the interests of commerce and navigation, aside from
their direct missionary work. This fact will
be readily apparent to any one who will examine the pages of the North Pacific Pilot,
published in London, 1870. We do not
hesitate to assert that these five missionary
vessels, running at a total expense to their
respective societies of say $50,000 or £10,-000, arc indirectly contributing more to the
interests of trade, commerce, navigation and
civilization in the Pacific than an equal
amount appropriated by the governments of
England and the United States, directly for
this purpose.

24° 20' N., long. 154° 06' F... a distance of about
seven miles from this island, to the northward: 1,500
fathoms of water were found, which gives the land a
northern slope to this point of 1,284 feet to the mile.
From this point to the eastern base, the slope was
about 200 feet to the mile, and to the western, 157

For 176 miles from the list position, the bottom

was about 8C feet to the mile. I have taken, in consideration of the height and slope of the submarine
elevation, about ;:,000 fathoms of water as the depth
of the plateau proper; for it was only at that distance
that it remained regular for any distance, and again
the average depth between the bases of the mountains

A synopsis of the soundings between this pert
and Yokohama, was published in a late number
of the New York Tribute, which we copy below,
together with a diagram of the ocean bed, which

Journal of Science tnd Arts for September.
"Sixty casts were taken at intervals averaging
about 67 miles. The water fell rapidly and steadily
from Honolulu until lat. 21° N., long. 159° 20' W.

fathoms' depth, making a slope of nearly. 162 feet to

coast and abandoned on account of tbe great
depth of the water. A third line proved feasible,
and was continued along the Kurile Islands to
tbe Island of Kanaga, one of the Aleutian group;
thence to Ounalaska and thence through Ounimak Pass to Cape Flattery. Tbe greatest depth

Edited ly a Committee of the Y. M. C. A.
Prayer Meetings.
The September number of the Scribner's
an editorial paper entitled
" The average prayer meeting," which severely criticises the common type of prayer
meetings as existing in dissenting churches,
and suggests as a remedy for their stiffness
and want of heartiness, that a liturgy " full
of the detail of common wants, appreciative
of the aspirations of the people, genial and
hearty," should be adopted in place of the
present informal service.
While it is impossible to deny the general
truth of his charges, it may perhaps not be
iiasy for us to adopt the writer's conclusions.
It is true that the average attendance on
prayer meetings is small, that the majority of
these are the women rather than the men of
the church; that the minister often feels
discouraged by a slim attendance ; thnt after
the meeting is thrown open to the laymen,
there is often a long period of silence; that
the deacons remain silent for fear that their
voices may have been heard too often ; that
individuals are called upon by the pastor to
lead in prayer, who are not in a mood for
public prayer and would much rather not
but don't like to excuse themselves, or that
individuals equally out of the mood, get up
and lead from a sheer sense of duty, in both
cases with results painful to speaker and
hearers and unacceptable to God except by
way of sacrifice. The length of the meeting
is arbitrarily measured by the vestry clock
rather than by the interest or want of interest of tbe prayer seekers. There is no doubt
but that many attend on these services purely from sense of duty, many others from a
desire to encourage the pastor, that some
stay away from a fear of being called on by
the pastor, and others because the meetings
from their experience are likely to bore
rather than benefit them. Admitting these
things to be so to a greater or less extent, we
do not see the absolute necessity of laying
aside the voluntary and spontaneous type of
our prayer meetings in principle, for a liturgical service however beautiful that service
may be. We are not prepared to give up
the social and democratic feature, for sake
of possible greater dignity of recited prayers
and reverent responses under priestly leadership. The public church services of Sunday
supplies the want of formal worship. Besides this we need opportunities of free, social communings together, where and when
the atmosphere shall be religious, and Christ
