AN APPEAL FOR $50,000.
After some weeks of deliberation, repeated
visits to the premises, several meetings of
the Trustees, and examination of architect's
plans and specifications, the Trustees have
unanimously decided to appeal to the
friends of the college here,and in the United
States, for a building fund of |50,000. to be
raised prior to January 1, ISB2. One fifth
of the amount—slo.ooo—is already in the
Treasurer's hands. The Report annexed
we commend to the careful perusal of our

buildings renders this action of the Trustees a matter of absolute necessity. They
suggest that the friends of the college now
contribute to this Building Fund, and that
they at an early date signify the amounts
they are willing to give. At the last meeting ol the Board, the Hon. Mr. F. Judd and
Dr. Damon were appointed a Committee to
solicit subscriptions, although donations
■niiy be made direct to C. M. Cooke, Esq.,
Treasurer.
Contributors have varied in
their contributions from SI to $5,000. Any
sum, however small or however large, will
be most thankfully received. Now is the
time for action; the subject has been fully
discussed.
Jo the Board of Trustees of Oahu College .-—The
•Committee to whom was referred the matter of
examining, considering, and reporting the most
desirable plan at present for the improvement
of the college property, and to meet the demand
of the near fiiture, respectfully report as follows:
They have several times visited and inspected
replacement.
The school building is now in a very fair state
of repair, bnt its usefulness can perhaps be increased if the plan below shall be adopted.
The two main stone dwellings, so far as walls
are concerned are in good condition, but the
connecting adobe one-story structure, the three
wings and the kitchen department are in a deplorable state of decay, and must soon receive
very extensive repairs, if not be almost rebuilt.
They may last for some time longer, but their
old-time usefulness is very nearly departed. In
addition to this, their appearance is such as to
do positive discredit to the school.
To restore the buildings on their present plan,
to a good condition, must cost several thousand
dollars, and at the completion of such repairs,
we shall have then nothing but low, small rooms
for any purposes, and for that of culinary and
dining-room more especially, positively insufficient.
It appears evident, therefore, that the time
has arrived when something must be done in the
line of building if we would have the school
retain its foremost position and take a still
higher position in the future.
Several plans have been presented and discussed by your Committee, but that which
seems on the whole most advisable, and which
they unanimously recommend, is the erection of
a three-story brick or stone building filling the
space between the present two stone dwellings
but considerably wider, as will appear more
fully by plans and drawings herewith submitted.
Such a building will be of size sufficient to
contain a commodious dining-room, library, and
music parlor; with some minor offices besidse
dormitories.
It will contain space for several good, well
ventilated sleeping rooms, and should be built
with reference thereto.
Hence your Committee recommend, that the
public should be invited to contribute the sum
of $50,000, for the erection and completion of a
building as above described.

A few days since we received a
CircuUr setting forth the excellent advantages of the Misses Herrmann's school for
young ladies, in Stuttgart, Germany. It
was forwarded by one of our Island young
ladies, Miss Lottie Alexander, who is studying music in Stuttgart. She highly commends this school for young ladies who
may be going from the Islands to Europe
for an education. The musical advantages
in Stuttgart are first-class.

A FEW DAYS IM EGYPT.
ALEXANDRIA—A CITY OF THE PRESENT.
On reaching
Alexandria we were
obliged to undergo certain formalities
connected with the quarantine which,
though continued, for a few hours
only, were not altogether agreeable, and
which imparted to our entrance upon classic
Egyptian soil rather an undignified character. There had been some excitement some
months since in the Orient in reference to
the pest which appeared at Bagdad for a
time, and which led to a quarantine in certain ports of all passengers coming from
Syria. But the danger seemed to be long past
when we reached Alexandria, so that some
or our victimized number were prone to
think that the numerous officials and Government servants found the quarantine
fees which are levied upon each new arrival
sufficient inducement for prolonging the
quarantine beyond its due time. At all
events, they found it necessary to fumigate
But, after

countless preliminaries and endless " red
tape," we were allowed to go forth just as
the sun was sinking in the hot west, and
the soft, balmy Egyptian night was coming
on—glad enough of the welcome which the
bright, busy modern city of Alexandria
seemed to offer us. From Palestine to
Egypt is an agreeable journey by sea,
quickly over. In Jaffa we took the French
steamer, which brought us in a short time,
with a day's stay at Port Said, to Alexandria. This latter city is one entirely of the
present. The ancient and classic Alexandria exists here no longer—not even in ruins.
The imagination must supply the magnificent background which the name of this once
so proud metropolis suggests. From the
days of Alexander the Great, who founded
the city 332 8.C., for long centuries it continued to be one of the grandest centers of
the ancient world—the connecting link
between the Occident and the Orient, the
abode of royalty, the home of great men, the
cradle of the arts and sciences, the center
of important and influential schools of philosophy ; rich in priceless artistic collections

and libraries; busy with the eager life of an
enormous and prosperous commerce. Here
the ancient philosophies of Heathen Greece
passed away ; here Christianity appeared
in various phases of its early development.
After Koine and Athens, no city has written
its records in more proud and enduring
characters than Alexandria. And now this
"rand old city o( the ancients has passed
away—vanished like a great and imposing
vision. Arid yet there is here still a busy
mart of swarming life, and of no small importance, bearing the same great name
which, though sitting loosely upon it like a
garment too large for its wearer, is not
wholly dishonored by the smaller stature
beneath. Since the time of Mohnmmed
Ali, in the early part of this century, the
city, which for ages hud faded almost out of
existence, has begun to attain importance,
till it now possesses a population of '• upwards of 200,000 souls, including at least
50,000 Europeans. In its palmy d*ys it is
sajd to have numbered more than half a
million inhabitants." The site once occupied by the famous •» Museum" is now
covered by the houses and shops of the
modern city. Here was the famous Library
of Alexandria, which \v«s destroyed by
flames—one of the greatest trensures of the
ancient world, lost now forever. It is estimated that there were here collected something like 900,000 volumes. The celebrated
obelisks called "Cleopatra's Needles," once
sought out here by all. travellers, are now to
be seen in London and New York. The
only remnant of the city of classical times
to be seen here is the lofty and imposing
column of red granite called •■ Pompey's
Pillar." This stands in the outskirts of the
modern city, probably near the site of the
ancient "Serapium," or Temple of Serapio.
It stands in solitary grandeur, as if unconscious of the changes which «re going forward here at its base, lost in an absorbing
revery. Near its base are fragments of
broken Egyptian statues. No attention
whatever seems to be paid by the city authorities to the space in which it stands. In
the splendid h-irbor of Alexandria we noticed
a very large number of vessels and steamers
as we arrived. This was the harbor of the
Greeks, called " Eunostos," or harbor of
those " returning home in safety." There
was also in their time another harbor lying
further to the east, now almost unused.
Between these runs a long body of land,
now covered with the houses of the city.
Near here was placed a famous lighthouse
on the small island'of •■ Pharos."
I chanced to be in Alexandria at the time
of the Greek Easter, and the city wore a
most animated appearance. The Mohammedans seemed to be enjoying some festival
at the same time. Along the canals there
were booths erected, and music and dancing
and merrymaking of all kinds occupied the
lower classes. The city is so thoroughly
Europeanized that it seems like some modern Italian or French town with colonists
from Egypt and Greece. The shades of
Alexander, of Cleopatra, of Hypatia, revisiting their old homes, would be at a loss to
know where they were.

�Arabian architecture. The " Mosque of
Sultan Hassan," now foiling to decay, is a
magnificent structure, and. though in partial
ruin, delights the eye by the superb symmetry of its vast proportions, by the exquisite
beauty and delicate finish of its wondrous
carvings and traceries. Of a comparatively
recent date is the Alabaster Mosque of
Mohammed 'Ali, in the Citadel, rising
splendidly above the city. The effect of its
vast, dim, carpeted interior, where a few of
the " Faithful " may always be seen, and
of its great, open court, one mass of alabaster, is exceedingly fine. Cairo is one of the
strongholds of lslamism, which still rules
with such a mighty power here at the East.
Here may be visited an immense University
where some 11,000 students from all parts
of the Mohammedan world, are instructed
by a large body of Professors or Sheifcsjn the
principles and tenets of Islom. Among
them are men from remote regions, und of
most fanatical devotion to their creed. The
tombs of the Kaliphs and of the Mamelukes are " cities of the dead," vast collections of mosques and tombs which have
been reared during past centuries, but now
neglected. Here may be seen some most
striking and beautiful buildings. Scattered
through the city are numerous and oftentimes beautiful palaces, and gardens of the
Khedive and Pashas, which testify to the
great wealth of their owners.
No ore visiting Cairo should fail to see
the " Museum of Egyptian Antiquities at
Bulok, one of the suburbs of the city. On
entering the pleasant garden before the museum, one will be struck by the simple and
yet singularly appropriate monument recently erected to the memory of M. Mariette,
the distinguished French archaeologist and
enthusiastic nnd successful discoverer and
explorer, to whose exertions the existence
of this museum is mainly due. He died
only a few months since. There is something singularly appropriate in the position
of his tomb. It is a huge sarcophagus in
the ancient Egypti-n style, and marked
only with his name, " Mariette." Above
this rises a classic Egyptian figure. Beyond
the gardens flows the stately Nile, fringed
with palms, and dotted with the quaint sails
of the river boots

THE PYRAMIDS AND THE SPHINX.
The most interesting excursion from Cairo, is to the Pyramids. Yesterday I visited,
with the Rev. Mr. Pork, a son of Rev. Professor Park, of Andover, the ruins of ancient
Memphis, and the wonderful Apis-tombs, at
Sakara, a day full of interest.
We started early this lovely morning for
the Pyramids just as a new sun was gilding
the minarets of the city and while its beautiful
gardens lay still in moist shades. Our brighteyed and quick-witted "donkey-boys" amused us with their observations and remarks as
they trotted along beside us, apparently never
wearied by their exertions. The Pyramids

crossing the splendid iron bridge spanning
the Nile, we struck off down heavy treefringed avenues lying amid golden fields of
grain, and in two hours and h little more,
were at the base of the "great Pyramid,"
which loomed up like a great mount.in before us. We were besieged immediately by
a shouting company of the "Bedouins of the
Desert." who ''do the honors" of the PyraPromismids by a sort of hereditary right
ing them a sufficient "Baksheesh," that all
potent charm of the East, we were soon
mounting up the rocky sides of the huge
pile. What a journey! Once you will try
it but never more than once. And yet you
will never regret having made the effort.
One Arab had my right hand and another
my left and every now and then came
another to our assistance. It was a testing
of every individual joint and muse c of the
body. But at last the summit was reacheJ
and we were amply repaid (or all the exertions which we had made. An old Arabi-n
physician of Baghdad, once said: "Eoerything fears time, but timefears the Pyramids." The truth of this statement you
abundantly feel on gazing on these stupendous piles, which have stood for thousands of
years, the most ancient structures formed by
human hands. The view from the summit
of the " Pyramid of Cheops," the only one
ascended by travelers, is most striking and
beautiful. "On one side the glorious sweep
of golden-brown and emerald-green fields,
with the glittering, silvery line of the river,
and the minarets and towers of the city beyond. On the other side the gloomy, sunscorched sands of the Libyan desert, stretch-

shores beyond. On its edge rise other
Pyramids as a barrier between its
death and descl.tion and the ever returning
life of the Delta. We rest for a few moments when once safely down from our giddy
ascent and then enter the narrow passage
leading to the heart of the great Pyramid.
Outside wis dazzling sunlight here is a gloom
ns of night. We crouch and bend into all
kinds of undignified shapes, so low are the
passages. We cling close to our Arabs for
fear of falling off into some unknown depths
into this darkness which can be felt, which
our torches cannot pierce. The air is close
and hot. There is a rustling of bats wings.
Above us is the weight of countless tons of
massive stone. But at last we find ourselves in the heart of the Pyramid, in the
"King's Chamber," and see the empty sarcophagus, that mute testimony to the object
of this great structure. Then once more return to life and day, we visit the colossal
figure of the sphinx half-buried away amid
drifting sands, and huge temples and tombs
near at hand. And this 1 tell you in hurried words th.tyou may know of what I shall

AN ANCIENT MONUMENT.
We found time, during our stay in Cairo,
to go out to the site of the ancient city oi
Heiiopolis, or On. Here still stands in the
midst of me grain fields one solitary obelisk
upon which Moses might h"ve gazed wondering at its antiquity. And another excursion, full of interest, wns to the necropolis of
Sakara, near the ancient Memphis. Here
are the famous Tombs of Apis, the Sacred
Bull of Egyptian worship. The gigantic
sarcoph-gi placed in the gloomy niches
hewed out of of the sdlid rock r.re more the
work of Titans than of men. Ne-r these are
countless tombs r-ome of them marvelously
preserved. The walls ore covered with
frescoes fresh and bright as if laid on yesterday. Where Memphis, one of the grandest
and proudest cities of antiquity, once stood
are now waving groves of p.lms and native
vill.ges. Near the roadside lies a huge
statue of Ramses 11, too large to be taken

Bombay. To keep the links of travel together, let me say that from Cairo I c-inre
by rail to Suez, through the " land of
Goshen," bordering the desert, where the
children of Isrdel labored under tneir Egyptian taskmasters, for so many long, weary
years. Suez has become an important point
since the completion of the canal, which is
proving so eminently successful. M. dc
Lesseps has recently visited Suez and Port
Said, in company with the Khedive. It is
to be hoped that be may live to conduct to
a successful completion his Panama Can»l

is probable that the host of the children of
Israel, with Moses at their head, passed
through the Red Sea. It was a fascinating
occupation to watch the* misty line of the
opposite shore of Arabia Petra, and to think
of all the mighty wonders there wrought.
Here they sang their song of Triumph,
here waters gushed forth from the smitten
rock, here shone the fiery cloud by night
and floated as a beacon guide by day.
Unfortunately the mists and clouds covered
the mountains of the Peninsula of Sinai
as we sailed down the Red Sea. so that the
great and sacred mount was veiled from us.
From Suez, taking the good Italian steamer
/Sumatra of the Rubattin's line, we steamed
down the Red Sea, to Aden, a British
garrisoned settlement on the south coast of
Arabia. Here « halt of a few hours was
made. The sunset died slowly away in
rosy light—just as we came to anchor. The
sharp peaks of the Arabian coast were
tinted in tenderest hues of violet and blue.
A great silver moon came up to keep us
company during the pleasant evening we
spent on shore. Then onward, in straight
course across the Indian Ocean to Bombay,
without a suggestion of storm or tempest.
And now a few days are being spent in this
busy, beautiful city, preparatory to leaving
by overland route for Calcutta. My next
letter to you will be colored by the enthusiasm which this wonderful Eastern Empire
awakens.
HALLENBECK'S MISSION-IN
HONOLULU.
Some months ago the Y. M. C. A. invited Mr. Moody to visit this city, and labor
engageas an Evangelist. On account
ments elsewhere he could not come. An
invitation was then extended to Mr. Hallenbeck, who belongs to the same class of lay
preachers, and who had labored with Mr.
Moody. He arrived unheralded in the
early part of August, and, after conferring
with our Temperance Committee and others,
he commenced his labors in Fort Street
Church, Sabbath evening, August 14th,
and has continued them for two weeks.
MR.

These meetings have all been numerously
attended. In addition, Sabbath afternoons,
at 3 p. m., there have been meetings at the
Lyceum, also a woman's prayer meeting
every afternoon at Fort Street Lecture
Room. In addition to the evening meetings
in the large audience room above.there have
been meetings of enquiry in the rooms below. In order that our readers may form a
correct and satisfactory idea of the nature
of these meetings, and the topics discusseed,
we present the following list of subjects
upon which Mr. Hallenbeck has spoken
during the past two weeks :—

appeals, while hearers of all classes have
been earnestly entreated to abandon their
sins, and enter upon a new life. Many
have done so. To express the idea fully
the ice has been thoroughly broken up. The
formal.reserved and distant style of Christian
intercourse has givtn place to a cordial and
earnest style of Christian intercourse and
Christian work. Christians are aroused,
and are engaged in active labors to second
the teachings of the Evangelist. It is
earnestly hoped that which has been expe.
rienced is only as the drops of a more
plentiful shower. This good work it is to
be hoped will spread all over the group, and
not cease until the whole Island community
is permeated with the Gospel element, and
Temperance principles.

Montano's Volcanic Photographs.
During the eruption, our enterprising photographer, Mr. Montano, repaired to Hawaii, and there took views in the vicinity
of Hilo and at the old crater. They present
vivid delineations of the present state of volcanic action. We are glad to learn that he
has found a ready sale for a large number of
these views. Unmounted they can be for-
warded by mail, and will convey to those
abroad, some of the features of the most noteworthy volcanic eruption of this age. Only
think of it, commencing last November and
flowing in one steady stream nearly sixty
miles direct for the town and Bay of Hilo,
and when supposed about to overwhelm the
beautiful town of Hilo and fill up the Bay,
stopping at a point less than one mile from
the town! The people have prayed that God
would interpose and spare the town, and
now they are giving thanks for their signal
deliverance. Who dare say, God has not
heard and answered their prayers? Read
the 104th Psalm: '• He looketh upon the
earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the hills
and they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord
report of these fifteen and more addresses. as long as I live."

the Chinese students withdrawn from America will be sent to England, France and
Germany. They number 100. The Chinese government will hereafter educate students in Europe and China, where military
and naval schools are being established. The
inference drawn by the interviewer is that
the Chinese Governmentfears the progressiveness of American institutions. Tsu Soon

Few men suspect—perhaps no man
comprehends—the extent of the support
given by religion to every virtue. No man,
probably, is aware how much our moral and
social sentiments are fed from this fountain ;
how powerless conscience would become
without the belief in a God ; how palsied
would be human benevolence were there
not the sense of a higher benevolence to
quicken and sustain it; how suddenly the
whole social fabric would quake, and with
what a fearful crash it would sink into
hopeless ruin, were the ideas of a Supreme
Being, ol accountableness, and of a future
life, to be uttely erased from every mind.

THE FRIEND,
Glimpses at Mission Life in Micronesia.
Some weeks ago, a letter of the Rev. Mr.
Doane, addressed to the Rev. Dr. Clark, in
Boston, was placed in our hands, with the
privilege granted that we might make such
extracts for our columns us we saw fit.
That we have not earlier copied certain
paragraphs, has not been for lack of interest,
but because our columns, for July and
August, have been so crowded with documents relating to educational matters, especially relating to the interests of Oahu
College. To meet the demands we have
issued two supplements.
This whole subject of missions, in nil its
branches and details, is one of surpassing
importance and growing interest. There is
a work now going forward in the remote
islands of Micronesia, th»t equals in importance, anything that m»y be witnessed in
the revivals of Christian lands. God is
showing in Micronesia how graciously he
can work and save souls by the feeblest
instrumentalities New converts are going

But here we are, close into it, anchor

it has brought to its joys and success in
work. We go ashore in time, and lo the
change ! the shore lined with youth, they
flanked by fathers and mothers and all
singing their welcome songs, and ready for
the hand shaking, bright youth, but all a
year ago wild as the mountain deer, fleeing
from fright when we landed near their
homes. The scene is affecting, as we look
into their bright feyes and roe the change
the Lord has wrought in these wild, savage
ones during the year. But it is prophetic
of the larger change yet to pass over all the
islands ol this vast lagoon. P.ssing from
the shore with rapid hand-shaking, we

the really good native oranges abundant on
the islands, then pass on to the church,
large, well-made, and soon welt-filled with
natives. Twenty-four have been gathered
to take upon themselves the vows of the
new life. Some are aged ones. I tun
surprised to see how well they have taken
to the new truths taught by Moses. His
experience in work on other islands has
been a help to him. But the day has ended,
in the morning we must take up our work
to organize the new church. We are ashore
