no doubt executed in violation of international law," &c. We have since examined
the matter more minutely, and learn that
the Brazilian authorities had repeatedly allowed Confederate pirate vessels to
capture American shipping within their waters, which alters the question materially.
Under the circumstances, Mr. Wilson felt
that he was called to advise the capture of
the pirate by the Wachusett, even in the harbor of Bahia. Fortunately, it was as successful as it was a bold and plucky dash at
the pirate which was lying under the guns of
the fort; but if it had not been so successful,

now becoming quite common for travelers
and missionaries, bound to China, from the
Eastern States, to cross the Pacific from San
Francisco to Hongkong. In consequence of
this arrangement, it affords us an opportunity
for becoming acquainted with many of
them. In former years, Rev. Dr. Dean
and family, Rev. Mr. Chilcott (who has since
died,) Rev. Mr. Crawford, and Mrs. Hepburn
have passed this way. During the last
month the Rev. Dr. House and wife, bound

China, but now Agent for a Telegraphic

confidently be expected that some European

sailor, who piloted the Shenandoah among
the Yankee whalers in the Arctic, is now
skulking about San Francisco. The police
are upon his track, and some enraged and
suffering whalemen are hoping to catch him,
and give him such a lesson as he will not
soon forget. Manning actually accomplished something that will render his name infamous, but did not thousands of Copperheads try to do the same and utterly failed.
We have some respect for Southern soldiers
and Southern people who fought with a
bravery worthy of a better cause," but for
those Copperheads at the North, who acted
the part of traitors—like Manning—we have
no respect. They wished and tried to do
something equally infamous, and because
they did not succeed is to be attributed to
the patriotism and loyalty of the soldiers and

unknown friends, of which, after a most touching invocation from Mr. Corwin, the host, hostess

article prepared for that sterling Monthly, by
the Rev. Dr. Anderson. It appears that the
venerable Secretary is preparing a series of
sketches of Hawaiian worthies. Kapiolani

Green of great service:

AS A PAGAN.
Kapiolani belonged to the ruling class,
but Bartirneus, of whom some account is
now to be given, was from the lowest order
of Hawaiian society. Yet he became a
scarcely less distinguished trophy of divine
grace. He was born on East Maui, about
the year 1755. *
* * "* *
When the American mission reached
Kailua in 1820, he was there in the king's
train, playing the buffoon for the amusement
of the queen and chiefs, and thus he obtained
the means of subsistence. It is not probable
that he knew anything of the missionaries
at that time. The royal family removed to
Honolulu early in 1821, and the blind dancer
made part of their wild and noisy train.
There he suffered from illness, destitution,
and neglect, and in his distress was visited
by John Honolii4 one of the Christian islanders brought by the mission from America,
who spoke to him of the Great Physician.
This interested him, and as soon as he could
walk he went with Honolii to hear the
preaching of the missionaries. The impression he made on them was that of extreme
degradation and wretchedness. His diminutive frame bowed by sickness, his scanty
covering of bark-cloth, only a narrow strip
around his waist and a piece thrown over
his shoulders, his meagre face, his ruined
eyes, his long blnck beard, his feeble, swarthy
limbs, and his dark soul—all made him a
most
pitiable object.

The darkness, pollution, and
chaotic state of society, was the reason,
though perhaps that should have been a
motive for receiving those little ones earlier
into the fold. But Puaaiki's expression of
desire to be united with the people of God
in the spring of 1825,could not be any longer
resisted, and he was carefully examined by
Mr. Richards, as to his Christian knowledge
and belief, and the evidences of a work of
grace in his heart. The following is a
translation of a portion of his replies.
" Why do you ask to be admitted to the

" Perhaps it is not. If it is not proper,
you must tell me ; but I do greatly desire to
dwell in the fold ofChrist."

but Messrs Richards and Stewart, missionaries, who had arrived a few months previously, then became his religious guides. In the
summer of 1824, an insurrection occurred on
the island of Kauai, the most northern of
the group, which was soon suppressed; but
it was followed by a sort of insurrectionary
effort on the part of a heathen party on Maui,
to revive some of the old idolatrous rites.

" the praying ones," earnestly opposed this;

evil. But it is not like the one I formerly

These answers are given as a sample. Mr.
Richards declares the questions to have been
all new to him, and that he answered them
from his knowledge, and not from having
committed any catechism.
On the tenth of July, 1825, Puaaiki was
admitted into the church at Lahaina, and
received the name of Batimea Lalana. The
name Lalana (Lendon) was added at his
own suggestion, in accordance with a Hawaiian custom ofnoting events. It was designed

HIS PROMINENT CHARACTERISTICS.
*
The character of Barti«ieus shines out so
clearly in the foregoing narrative, that little
more need be said. His calling to be a
preacher was evidently of God. He had
original endowments for that service. There
has been already some reference to the
strength of his memory, and to his eloquence.
An illustration of both is given by Mr. Clark,
writing from Wailuku soon after his decease.
" In January last, I met him at protracted
meeting in this place, and was then more
rior in appearance when sitting, but when
he rises to speak, he looks well, stands erect,
gesticulates with freedom, and pours forth,
as he becomes animated, words in torrents.
He is perfectly familiar with the former, as
well as the present, religion, customs, modes
of thinking, anil in fact the whole history of
the islanders, which enables him often to
draw comparisons, make allusions, and direct appeals, with a power which no foreigner will ever possess."
Mr. Clark thinks him more distinguished
for his humility even than for his eloquence.
"Among all the graces which shone in him
in such beautiful proportion, humility was
the most conspicuous. Although much noticed by chiefs and missionaries, as well as
those of his own rank, and occasionally receiving tokens of respect even from a far distant land, he was always the same. He
sought the lowest place, and always exhibited the same modest demeanor, and appeared
in the same humble garb. His prayer was,
' Lord be merciful to me a sinner.' This
was the more remarkable, as it was in strong
contrast to the natural character of the Hawaiians. Although he labored for some time
as a licensed preacher of the gospel, he probably never took his station in the pulpit
while addressing an audience. He preferred
a more humble position."
What shall we think of the capabilities of
a race which produces such a man, and of
the power of the gospel, when we trace the
history of this Blind Preacher? And what
value shall we place upon the results of the
gospel on these islands, and upon the mission which justly reckons such results as
among the fruits of its labors ? He died
Feb. 21, 1844.

Pamphlets and Periodicals Received.
We would acknowledge the following:
The Christian Work and Rest.—A sermon preached by Rev. Dr. Rockwell of
Brooklyn, May 20th, 1866, on the occasion
of the death of Mr. Warren Rockwell, Esq.,
who was an elder of the Presbyterian Church.
Mr. Rockwell spent the greater part of his
life at Hudson, New York, and was highly
respected in that region. It was our privilege to have enjoyed his hospitality in the
spring of 1837 at his residence, in Hudson.
He was a native of East Windsor, Ct., and
reckoned among his ancestors, many of eminent worth and the genuine Puritan stamp.
The family was of Norman descent, and
came from Northumberland, England. The
first of the family coming to America, arrived
at Plymouth in 1626.
Every Saturday.—A journal of choice
reading selected from foreign literature,
and published by Ticknor & Fields, of Boston. Several numbers of this weekly have
been received and read. For the price, 10 cts.
a number, the publishers furnish a large
amount of entertaining reading. We think
if the editor would make his selections from
a wider range of periodicals, the interest of
his publication would be increased. He appears to be of the opinion that no article is

than ever impressed with the extent nnd
accuracy of his knowledge of the Scriptures.
He was called upon to preach at an evening
meeting. His heart was glowing with love
for souls. The overwhelming destruction of
the impenitent seemed to be pressing with
great weight upon his mind ; and this he
took for the subject of his discourse at the
evening meeting. He chose for the foundation of his remarks, Jer. iv. 13. " Behold
he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots
shall be as a whirlwind." The anger of the
Lord against the wicked, and the terrible
overthrow of all his enemies, were portrayed
in most vivid colors. He seized upon the terrific image of a whirlwind or tornado as an
emblem of the ruin which God would bring
upon his enemies. This image he presented
in all itsmajestic and awful aspects, enforcing
his remarks with such passages as Ps. lviii. 9:
He shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath ; " Prov.
i. 27: And your destruction cometh as a
whirlwind;" lsa. xl. 24 "And the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble ; " Jer.
xxx. 23 " Behold the whirlwind of the Lord
goeth forth with fury, a continuing whirlwind ; it shall fall witii pain upon the head of
the wicked;" Hosea viii. 7 : " For they have
sown the wind, and they shallreap the whirlwind ;" Nahum i. 3, Zech. vii. 14, and other
pssages in which the same image is presented
—always quoting chapter and verse. I was
surprised to find that this image is so often
used by the sacred writers. And how this
blind man, never having used a Concordance
or a Reference Bible in his life, could, on
the spur of the moment, refer to all those
texts, was quite a mystery. But his mind
was stored with the precious treasure, and in
such order that he always had it at command. Never have 1 been so forcibly imLieutenant of Marine*—Sack.

has been ascribed were invited to meet each

A Wise Excuse.—On one occasion, at
a dinner at the Bishop of Chester's, Hannah
More urged Dr. Johnson to take a little wine.
He replied, " I can't drink a little, child, and
therefore 1 never touch it. Abstinence is as
easy to me as temperance would be difficult." Many have the same infirmity, but
are destitute of the same courage, and therefore are ruined.
Queen Emma isreported to have said,
in Greenwood Cemetery, " Your people live
so fast, I wonder they find time to bury their
dead so superbly."—Am. Exchange.
Some unknown person, in San Francisco, has our special thanks for sending us

There is either a defect in the laws of the
United States in regard lo foreign seamen
shipped on board whaleships, or there is a
wrong interpretation of those laws. In the
application and practical working of those
laws, upon a fair estimate, nearly, if not
more, than one half of those serving on
board American whalcships as. seamen, are
thrown outside of the pale of relief in case
they are sick and disabled. The laws as
now interpreted, do not allow relief to be
administered by the consul to foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports to be discharged
in foreign ports. Any one acquainted with
the character of the crews of whaleships,
will readily see that this ruling of the U. S.
Consul shuts out all Polynesians (or kanakas,) and a vast number of Portuguese seamen. These two classes, Polynesian and
Portuguese, will make up good one half of
the seamen on board the sixty or seventy
ships touching at Honolulu this fall.
We make the statement without fear of
contradiction, that the successful prosecution
of the American whale fishery in this ocean,
is absolutely dependent upon these men—
these foreign seamen shipped in foreign ports,
and to be discharged in ports foreign to the
United States. This whole matter of shipping and discharging seamen attached to
American whaleships, has undergone a revolution during the last few years. When
whaleships leave New Bedford and other

never stepped upon American soil and never
expect to go thither. These men are however toiling and spending their lives under
the American Flag, but without enjoying
the relief of American seamen, when sick
and disabled.
The result is that many seamen are turned
away from U. S. Consulate, and compelled
to seek relief from the community at large,
who should be in the U. S. Hospital. Persons of this description are now in Honolulu.
Mrs. Crabb, at the Sailors' Home, and the
Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society, of Honolulu, come in to assist the U. S. Government
to support sick and disabled seamen. Cases
are constantly occurring in Honolulu, wherein
the U. S. Government ought to furnish
relief, but we are told, according to instructions from Washington, relief cannot be
afforded. Now, we say, there is a screw
loose somewhere ; " in the mean time the U.
S. Government, with a revenue of $500,-000,000, is receiving charitable contributions
from the ladies of Honolulu, to keep in a
nourishing condition the Whale Fishery,
about which there is so much boasting. It
would not perhaps be modest on our part to
point out to U. S. officials their duty, but we
do think, for decency and humanity's sake,
they had better write to Washington for new

Perhaps the newly appointed
Consul—General Smith—will come with
proper instructions. The only justand proper method of disposing of this troublesome
and perplexing affair, is simply to protect
and relieve all seamen alike who sail under
our flag. Not only should the Flag protect
but relieve the American and foreigner alike.
They toil and endanger their lives together,
to enrich our countrymen and extend our
country's commerce, hence it is only fair,
justand honorable that they should share
alike our country's protection and relief.

keep a good lookout, and carefully observe
your pilot's directions, you will, without fail,
make a prosperous voyage, and reach the
Port of Heaven in safety. It may not, however, be amiss to give you a few hints respecting the first part of your course.
If you examine your chart, you will, find
put down, not far from the latitude in which
you now are, a most dangerous Rock, called
the Rock of Intemperance, or Drunkard's
Rock. This rock, on which there is a high
beacon, is almost white with the bones of
poor sailors who have been cast away upon
it. You must be careful to give this rock a
good berth, for there is a very strong current
setting towards it. If you once get into that
current, you will find it very difficult getting
out again, and will be almost sure to strike
and go to pieces. You will often find a
parcel of wreckers round this rock, who will
try to persuade you that it is not dangerous,
arid that there is no current. But take care
how you believe them. Their only object
is plunder.
Not far from this terrible rock, you will
find marked a whirlpool, almost equally
dangerous, called the .Whirlpool of Bad
Company. Indeed, this whirlpool often
throws vessels upon the Drunkard's Rock,
as it hurries them round. It lies just outside
the Gulf of Perdition, and everything which
it swallows up is thrown into that Gulf. It
is surrounded by several little eddies, which
often draw mariners into it before they know
where they are. Keep a good look out,
then, for these eddies, and steer wide of this
whirlpool, for it has swallowed up more sailors than ever the sea did. In fact, it is a
complete Hell Gate.
Besides this whirlpool and rock, there are
several shoals laid down ; n your chart, which
I cannot now stay to describe. Indeed, these
seas are full of them, which makes sailing
here extremely dangerous. If you will be
sure to shun them all, and to keep clear of
the terrible gulf already mentioned, you
must immediately go about, make a signal
for a pilot, and steer for the Straits of Repentance, which you will then see right
ahead. These Straits, which are very narrow, form the only passage out of the dangerous seas you have been navigating into
the great Pacific Ocean, sometimes called
the Safe Sea, or Sea of Salvation, on the
further shore of which lies your port. It is
not very pleasant passing these Straits, and
therefore many navigators have tried hard
to find another passage. Indeed, some, who
pretend to be pilots, will tell you there is
another; but they are wrong, for the great
Master Pilot himself has declared that every
one who does not pass the Straits of Repentance will certainly be lost.
As you pass these Straits, the spacious
Bay of Faith will begin to open, on the right
hand side of which you will see a high hill,
called Mount Calvary. On the top of this
hill stands a Light House, in the form of a
cross, which by night is completely illuminated from top to bottom, and by day sends
up a pillar of smoke, like a white cloud. It
stands so high, that unless you deviate from
the course laid down in your chart, you will
never lose sight of it in any succeeding part
of your voyage. At the foo#t of this Light
House you will find the Pilot I have so often
mentioned, waiting for you. You must by

Probably this name was
chosen from viewing the broad table lands
of Hawaii. We learn these facts from a
communication recently published in the
Hawaiian Gazette, and written to His Majesty's Foreign Minister, by the Governor of
Guam, or by an officer of the Spanish Government at Madrid, Spain, who was ordered
by the Spanish Government to search the
archives of the Colonial department and ascertain all that could be found out upon the
subject. The name of the discoverer was
Juan Gaetano, or Gaytan. What however
appears most strange to us, is the fact that
during those two hundred and twenty-three

Vmulerliill. The music was vocal and instrumental, and said by those who heard it to be very fine.
The pieces sung were mostly familiar American
and English aire, but none were better perlormed
than the stirring songs of the late war. When informed that the setenaders were native Hawaiian, the officers could hardly believe that such
mimic and good English pronunciation were possible from them. One of the sailors belonging
to the ship has handed in the following, composed
after the serenade:
Our Sercundc.
List! oh list! my island friends,
To you my lays I'll tune,
Who sweetly sang to us last night,
Beneath the midnight moon.
In accents sweet and notes so mild,
That fell as soft as snow
t'pun Mm cool and fragrant air,
You sang, from boats below.
Our ears the tender strains did catch,
Our griefs were soon allayed
Forgot our duties and our cares,
With joy our brcusts were awayed.
The hammock too, soon lost its charms,
And sleep its balmy power,
Wh"n list'ning to those dubet tonea,
Those songs at night's still hour.
Merrily lollowed tune after tune,
Harmonious with the breakers' roar,
Full—measured and melodeous,
While lying on the oar.
Too soon the silvery hum-did cease,
Of music's gentle strain,
Come in the cool soft evening hours
And sing those songs again.

" THE
RESURRECTION."
Two thousand years ago a flower
Bloomed lightly in a lar-otfliinil ;
Two thousand years ago its reed
Was placed within a dead man's hand.
Before the Saviour came to earth,
That man bad lived ami loved and did.
And even in that far-olf time
The lower had spread its perfume wide.
Suns rose and set, years came and went,
The dead band kept its treasure well;
Nations were born and turned to ilnsl.
While life was bidden in that shell.
The shriveled hand is robbed at. last,
The reed is buried in the earth ;
When lo! the life—long hidden there—
Into a glorious flower burst forth.
Just such a plant as that which grew
Krom such a reed when buried low ;
Just such a flower in Egypt bloomed
And died two thousand psora ogol
And will not He who watched the reed
And kept the life within the shell.
When those He lovos are laid to rest.
Watch o'er their buried dust'as well?
And will He not from 'neath tin; sod
Cause something glorious to arise?
Aye, (bough it sleep too thousand years,
Yet all that buried dust shall arise.
Just such a face lis greets you now.
.liisl such a form as here we wear.
Only mure glorious far. will rise
To meet the Saviour In the air.
Then will I lay nte down in peace.
When called to leave this vale of tears.
Kor in mjf flesh shall I see God,"
Even though I sleep tvo Ototuand years.

It is a singular but noteworthy fact that laborer! are now going forth from China, to
cultivate the sugarcane in Havana, Mauritius, Sandwich Islands, and many other
parts of the tropics ; to load the guano vessels at the Chincha islands ; to dig in the
mines of California and Australia ; and to
labor as domestics in many other parts of
the world. They are a thrifty and industrious people, but intensely wedded to their
ancient customs. They are a people essentially idolatrous in their religious opinions
and by no means inclined to change their
views and opinions upon religious subjects.
Any one professing to be well-read and acquainted with the human race, but ignores
the Chinese, —their habits and influence—
shows that he is but partially posted up
in regard to one of the most remarkable
people on our globe. The book now before
us appears to be exactly the one which
ought to go into general circulation. It is
quite impossible to treat this people justly
and fairly unless their customs and habits
are duly considered and carefully pondered.
This is a book for the judge, the planter,
the Missionary and Editor, on the Sandwich Islands, to read. The Chinese are
already here and thousands more are destined to come hither. We doubt not many
hundreds of little children born in China,
and now picking tea-leaves or living on the
rivers of China, will find their graves on
Hawaiian shores. At a lute Monthly Concert at Fort Street Church, as well as on
other occasions, we have heard remarks indi-
cating that it was most discouraging to labor
for the enlightenment of the Chinese. Our
Missionaries in China have also found it no
easy matter to teach the Chinese the tenets
of the Christian's faith, but yet they are not
discouraged. We think our readers will be
interested in the following paragraphs :—
The first Protestant Mission at Fuhchau
was established by a missionary of the
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in January, 1847. The Mission has averaged three or four tamilies since
its commencement. In April, 1856, occurred
the first baptism of a Chinaman at this city

The English Church Missionary Society
established a mission at Fuhchau in the spring
of 1850. It has met with many reverses,
and has not averaged two families. Its
members have always resided within the
city on Black Rock Hill. It has two large
chapels, located on South and Back Streets,
two of the most important streets in the city.
It employs two or three native helpers, and
has ten or fifteen baptized Chinese under its

Notice to Shipmasters, Officers and
Seamen.—Of late years you have contributed but a very few dollars to the support of the Bethel in Honolulu. The expense principally has fallen upon the residents of this city. Have you no interest in
this affair ? Very soon the Chaplain must
expend several hundred dollars for painting
and general repairs. Will you not, before
leaving port, contribute your share ? Five
or ten dollars from each Captain; two, three
or five dollars from each officer, and one, or
even a half dollar, from each sailor, will
help the Chaplain exceedingly at the present
time.
Dr. Hillebrand's Report, upon the
coolie trade, is worthy of an attentive perusal. It is published in the Gazette of to-day.
