his petulant reply when the young Virginian
volunteer modestly ventured to utter a word
of caution to beware of an Indian surprise.
Benjamin Franklin had also ventured to
caution the British commander upon the
same point before thearmy left Philadelphia,
but replies the over confident General,
" These savages may indeed be a formidable
enemy to your raw American militia, but
upon the King's regular and disciplined
troops, sir, it is impossible they should make
any impression." Franklin in his home-spun
style, remarks in his autobiography, " When
I heard that, said no more."
This is a most beautiful region. The
scenery is very fine. The surrounding hills
and the intervening valleys, with the Monongahela meandering along on its way to join
the Alleghany at Pittsburg, where they form
the beautiful Ohio, all combined present
such a picture of loveliness, beauty and
grandeur, that the beholder is quite lost in
its contemplation. Great numbers of visitors
annually resort to this spot, rendered so
famous in the colonial history of ourcountry.
It was an event which undoubtedly had an
important influence upon the minds of the
colonists, and fostered the idea that there
was a possibility of successfully withstanding
a British army in the field of battle.
The
whole transaction," remarks Franklin, "gave
us the first suspicion that our exalted ideas
of the prowess of British regular troops had
not been well founded."
All historians
agree, however, in lauding the gallantry and
bravery of General Braddock on European
battle-fields, but having never served in
America, he was ignorant of the peculiarity
of the country, and would not take advice,
even from his best friends.
"
COMMENCEMENT WEEK AT AMHERST, MASS.
Before leaving the Islands, it was our design to lie present at the commencement, exercises at Amherst College. Such are the
railroad facilities for travel, and time tables
are so admirably arranged, that we reached
Amherst at midnight on the 3d, and the exercises commenced on the Sabbath, the 4th
of July. The first day is styled fiaccalaiti; rlt,
Sl/lli/'li/.
The services were opened by a celebration
of the Lord's Supper, Sabbath morning, in
the Collrge chapel. There was no sermon,
but President Steams, pastor of the College
church, was assisted by President Fairchild,
of Oberlin College. About two-thirds of the
undergraduates are members of the College
church. The exercises were solemn and
impressive. In following our Saviour's example „th«y- •* sung a hymn " and separated.
We were interested in the circumstance (bat

Extraordinary to the governments of Europe.
It commencesthus:
"
In the cross of Christ I glory.
Towering nYr the wrecks of time ;

The same hymn we noticed was sung
when the graduating class at Andover Theological Seminary separated at the anniversary last year, IS6B. This hymn is a favorite among Orthodox Christians, yet was
composed by a statesman and diplomatist
known to be firmly Unitarian in his religions
sentiments. He is also author of the oftsung hymn, commencing,
'' Walrliiiiiiii nil ns ~f ill,, ni^lil."
President Steams preached the Baccalaureate sermon before a large and appreciative
audience at 3, P. M. He chose for his text
Exodus xix:s: "Now therefore, if ye will
obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then shall ye Iki -a peculiar treasure
unto me."
As it was the 4th of July, the President's
method of treating his subject was strongly
seasoned with patriotic sentiments. He announced his theme, " The opportunity and
meaning of America among the nations."
After giving a rapid sketch of the history of
Christianity, and making marked allusion to
the history of the Pilgrim Fathers, the
speaker portrayed our country's late struggle. He remarked,
1. America means universal freedom.
2. America means universal education.
3. America means Christianity.
These several points were illustrated and
enforced by references to history and the
present state of our country. The President
offered some remarks, designed to allay the
fears of those who imagine that Catholicism
will yet overspread America and blot out
Protestantism. The following summary of
his remarks upon this subject we copy from
the Amherst /Student:
"As to Romanism, we must take no counsel of our fears. Catholicism has a better
side. We read mostly the works of its enemies. Romanism is nearly the same now as
it was in the medieval ages, when it embodied the Christianity of the world. Besides, Romanian! never has been and never
can be the same in this country as in Europe. The Catholics in Maryland were the
authors of the noblest act of toleration. All
the influences in this country are against its
becoming here what it is in Europe. If all
the Romanism in Europe should come to us,
it could not find us. But even Romanism
is unspeakably better than irreligion or infidelity. Rome is an apostacy, but it has the
gospel, though under perversion. It can
never rise in this country to the dignity of
an argument against Protestantism."
In conclusion, the President made a solemn appeal to the members of the graduatinf
class to be true and faithful to their country
and the Church of Christ.
ADDRESSES BEFORE THE RELIGIOUS AND LITERARY
SOCIETIES.
An annual address before the Society of
Religious Inquiry is delivered by some distinguished divine. This year President Fair-
child, of Oberlin, was selected. This address
was carefully prepared and thoughtfully elaborated, upon this theme, " The Decline of
the Religious Sentiment." He spoke of religion as involving three elements: Ist, Intellectual 2d, Emotional ; and 3d, Ethical.
The discussion of this subject indicated a
;
thoughtful preparation.
The nereraea of commencement wetk
were varied by IWo other orations or addresses of marked excellence. We refer lo
Prof. Diman's address before the Phi Beta
Kappa Society, and Senator Patterson's before the Social Union. The former, that of
Professor Diinan, was upon "Academic Culture." Perhaps no better illustration of the,
subject could be furnished than the address
itself. It was beautifully written, and most
scholarly in all its reasoning. There was a
finish, a polish, </ cultun so interwoven and
rounding off its paragraphs, that the hearer
was impressed with the idea that the speaker
communed more with the great scholars and
master spirits of past ages, than with the
ephemeral authors of the present day. Professor Dimau is connected with Brown University at Providence, Rhode Island.
Senator Patterson's oration before the Social Union, or Union of the Literary Societies of the College, was a discussion of the
theme, " Education in its Relations lo the
State." Senator Patterson's high position
as a member of the United States Senate,
his characteras a scholarof varied culture,and
his decided Christian sentiments, awakened
a lively anticipation, which the delivery of
the oration by no means lowered or weakened. The orator's fine and scholarly countenance, intellectual forehead, and commanding address, caused the audience to expect
much ; hence when " thoughts that breathe
and words that burn " flowed forth, all felt
that it was good to be there, within the precincts of Amherst College.
Our limits will not allow us to dwell
minutely upon the " prize declamations " of
the Freshman and Sophomore cla
Neither can we specify lbs several orations
of the graduating class. These performances
indicated that Amherst College students of
the present day fully sustained the character
of the institution of a former generation,
when such men were undergraduates as Governor Bullock, Key. H. Ward Beecher, Rev.
Dr. Stoers, Bishop Huntingdon, Rev. Dr.
Hitchcock of Union Theological Seminary,
Professor Hackett of Newton Seminary, Professor B. B. Edwards of Andover Seminary,
the Rev. Dr. Perkins of Oroomiah, and a
host of others.

sionaries to foreign lands. Some have gone
to Asia, others to Africa, and others to the
islands of the sea.
One of the most interesting gatherings of
commencement week is the Alumni meeting
and the Alumni reunion. Then convene
those long separated, who come together to
renew their acquaintance and brighten up
their friendships. The utmost cordiality and
kindly feeling prevail. Memories of college
life of a former generation are brought into
review. The names are reported of those
who have been removed by death.
When the graduates of former years return, it is delightful and refreshing to listen
to their personal history—sometimes sad,
sometimes amusing, and never uninteresting.
It was our privilege to graduate in 1S!16,
just thirty-three years ago. We now met
only three of our fellow-graduates, but each
representing one of the learned professions,
viz : L. C. Kellogg, Judge of Vermont,
Nathan Allen, M. D., of Lowell, Mass., and
the Rev. Professor Roswcll D. Hitchcock, of
New York city. The record of each is most
honorable to himself and the profession which
he has chosen.
During commencement week we improved
the opportunity to wander about the College
premises and revisit old haunts, many of
which recalled scenes of former days, highly
calculated to suggest trains of useful reflection, while not a few spois reminded us of
incidents admirably suited

SITE FOR AMHERST COLLEGE WELL CHOSEN.
Great improvements have been made upon
the College grounds during the last few
years. Buildings of great architectural beautyhave been erected, and others are in process
of erection. The institution is now well endowed, and manned by an able corps of professors and tutors, at the head of whom
stands President Steams, who is a graduate
of "old Harvard." During his presidency
the College has been raised from its low estate of poverty. Liberal donations from
wealthy friends of the institution began to be

made during the lifetime of President Hitchcock, that learned geologist and scholar of
natural science, who was emphatically one
of Nature's noble men. We found only two
professors remaining who taught in our colleg* days. We refer to Professors Snell and
Tyler. Long may they there be permitted
to labor with their present associates.
We were impressed in our youthful days
with the Amherst as an admirable site for a
collegiate institution, but on our revisiting
the spot our early impressions have been
greatly deepened. It is a most beautiful region. The view from the College tower is
one of surpassing loveliness, beauty and
grandeur. We have never beheld anything
to surpass it in all of our wanderings in
North or South America, or the islands of
the sea. The panorama is complete. On
the north rises Sugar Loaf Mountain, standing as a sentinel, overlooking and guarding
the- beautiful valley of the Connecticut. To
the east Pelhain Hills stretch away, on whose
sides woodland and cultivated fields are
beautifully blended. To the south there is
a range of hills, terminating with Mount
Holyoke, of world-wide renown ; while to
the west lies the " Norwood'" of Mr. Beecher
and the valley of the Connecticut, along
which the bcnutiful river by that name wends
its way to Long Island Sound. With Holland, in " Kathrina," we can join our voice :

As I recall Ihe story
"
of my college days. In that beautiful valley
we spent five and a half years, first as an
academy student, and then as a collegian.
It was just one-tenth of our life. It was at
a most impressible period of existence.
Friendships were then formed which have
been life-long. It was delightful after having spent so many years in a foreign laud,
to return and revisit that pleasant region.
Our visit was in early July, just the season
when Nature was fully robed, and the whole
atmosphere was filled with the fragrance of
the new-mown hay or the perfume of the
cultivated fields and beautiful gardens. While
looking out upon these scenes as we rode
along the highway, walked under the shade
of the majestic elm, strolled over the pleasure
grounds, or surveyed the whole surrounding
region from the College tower, the lines of
the poet Campbell were suggested to mind
'•

In the very centre of this valley, on a com-
:
manding eminence, is located Amherst College. As years and ages roll away, may the
youth of New England and America resort
thither to pursue their studies preparatory to
the labors, toils and conflicts of professional
life, and from those halls, consecrated to
learning, science and religion, may they go
forth to make this world better. Should
this result follow, the pious founders and
generous patrons of Amherst College will
find their prayers answered and their efforts
crowned with a divine blessing.

TheDS
ByREV. JAMES BEECHER.
1 have had some pleasing reflection:, concerning the happy death of a poor fellow
whom I found in one of the sailor boardinghouses ashore, and took on hoard my residence, that he might at least have a decent
place to die in. A fouler hole than that from
which I took him, can scarcely be imagined.
There were no less than fourteen man-o'war's men lying about the floor, dead drunk,
while half a dozen more were singing, and
shouting, and swearing. The whole air was
reeking with the funics of stale tobacco and
bad ruin. I was sorry for the blaspneming
company,—more sorry even than tor those
who, in drugged sleep, were, at least for the
time being, incapable of oaths. My ears
were stunned, my eyes blinded, my stomach
sick, my heart sad and sore. And yet in
this den of iniquity lay a human being dying
of consumption. Into his shattered lilies
poured this steaming, pestilential air. Into
his dying cars poured tins even more pestilential flood of filthy und profane babbling.
He feared to die, and well he might, for he
could not bear to think of a place of punishment worse than that in which be was. And
as his hollow cough rung put now and then
above all the confusion and noise, it sounded
like a death-knell pealing over the lost souls
of the whole company.
Such, then, was the place where I found
this young man. And as I came to his bed

gospel, he turned his face to the wall, and
burst into tears. "Oh," said he, "it's too
late now, —too late now. I've only a day or
two te live,—and what is that to a whole
life ol sin. The time is past. I must to
go—go." And his voice broke into sobs so
overpowering that I feared for his life.
I could not pray there,—it seemed u mockery to pray there, and speak of peace. My
heart was M full of sadness, and agony even,
that prayer was denied me. Said I, «• my

had him ere long on board my Bethel, in a
pleasant room, still and quiet, with pure air
breathing all about him, and pure water rippling by his open windows. It seemed as
though his heart would overflow with tear
of gratitude. "Oh," said he, -it's joy
enough to die here."
But the best of all is yet to come. He revived at once; and though it was evident
ihat his time was short, yet it pleased God
to relieve him from pain. For two or three
days I read much, and prayed much with
him, but could not prevail upon him to pray.
;
One night, however, to my
surprise, Lheard
him through the thin bulkhead which separates our rooms, praying with such earnestness and power, that it seemed as though
God were present in the room with him. 1

light, without repose, without cessation, did
his prayers pour forth.
After breakfast I went into his room, and
oh, how changed was that sunken face of

up by smiles of joy and hope, that I could
scarcely believe my eyes ! Tears rolled down

Long we prayed together,—his excitement
passed away, and in its place came such
gentle, trusting, peaceful resignation, that I
gained a lesson I shall never forget.
Gradually he sank day by day,—painless,
fearless—even joyful. His two days of life
were lengthened to three weeks, And ten
minutes before he died, lying in my arms, he
looked up, and said, in broken words, " O
Mr. 8., God bless you,—God bless you."
Said I, " My poor fellow, you have probably
only a few minutes to live. Does that hope
stand by you still. Is JsMM your hope and
your salvation ? " " Yes, yes," said he, and
closed his eyes as if in sleep. I laid his head
upon the pillow, and thinking that he would
doze a little, as he had before done, I stepped
into the next room for a few moments' rest ;
then my boy called me, and when I ran in
he was"just drawing his last breath. No
struggle—no pain. His spirit had left as
peacefully as though there were no bands to
break in "its separation from the body.
The following letter was addressed to
the Prince of Wales during his visit to the
United States in 1860. We state the fact,
upon the authority of General Williams, of
Norwich, Ct., that after the return of the
Prince to England, this letter was printed,
accompanied by the English coat of arms,
thus indicating that the sentiments expressed
in this letter were approved of by the Prince,
although hi? example might tend in another
direction. The letter has been extensively
circulated in the United States in the form
of a tract. The copy we forward for publication in the friend was presented to us by
General Williams. He is accustomed to circulate great numbers of tracts among the
children, youth and those of riper years residing in Norwich and vicinity. Most sincerely do we hope that the republication of
this letter in the Friend may result in good.

you for your late visit, and trust that Divine
Providence may make it a presage of signal
good to your nation and our own.
We gave you, my Lord, unmistakable evidence of affectionate homage, when " the
shout of a king" went up on every hand,
and men of all panics cried " God save the
Queen," and You, the heir of her illustrious
throne ! Hence, in this appeal, 1 shall not
disgust you by offering a needless amount of
homage, nor degrade myself by making unnecessary apologies.
Your likeness is among us in daguerreotypes by thousands, and it may gratify you
to know that our artists have in no instance
disfigured the countenance of your Royal
Highness by the presence of your meerschaum with its noxious fumes.
But I am sorry to say that our youth, far
and near, have discovered that the Prince
whom we delighted to honor is a devotee of
this idol—a victim of this master-vice of the
age !
Wherever these dear boys trace you in
your route, whether on railroads, rivers or
lakes, in Canada or Illinois, in Baltimore or
Boston, on the heights of Quebec or on the
banks of the Potomac, they see you with this
idol in your mouth, environed by smoke
I have spent ten of the best years of my
life in battling tobacco, in warning our rising
millions against this fashionable abomination
and its affinities, and in forming Bands of
Hope. Hence you compel me to tell you, my
Lord, that your example has been contagious,
and in this particular pernicious.
We were afflicted with juvenile smokers
before. These young Etna* were about us
in abundance. But now our tobacconists,
urged by cupidity, are rapidly manufacturing the Prince of"Wales Cigars, and, by this
fascinating brand, our urchins and dandies
are fast copying this vice of yours, who may
never copy your virtues.
I hate tobacco as Lord Nelson hated a
Frenchman. " 1 will fight a Frenchman,"
was his language, " wherever I can find him ;
wherever he can anchor, my ship shall be
there." Hence, even your Koyal Highness
may expect no quarter for this vice ; for, God
helping me, I will battle it alike on a throne
or in a dungeon.

dividual capacity or position, butas "a prospective monarch ; " for I wish to induce you
to abandon a habit which will essentially impair your ability to rule over the most pow-
erful nation on earth.
In the first place, my Lord, "your habit
may prove fatal to self-control, and, by
enslaving you, incapacitate you to rule others."
You early made use of this poison. You
use it freely, and already it may have gained
the mastery. The man who is mastered is
one who has lost the power of resistance—
one who is subject to some despot, some passion or imperious appetite. Artificial appetites are despotic masters; and the appetite
for this poison, once formed, is eminently
such ; it becomes a " ruling passion," swaying its victims at will.
We have many political demagogues in
America, who make a vast uproar respecting
foreign despotisms, who disgust us by their
vulgar and boisterous boastings of liberty,
whilst they themselves, victimized by this
nauseous drug, are abject slaves ! They care
more for this popular poison than for God,
Man, or State.
Thus is it with us, my Lord. How is it
with you ? Which has the ascendency, you
or your meerschaum? "As the eye of a
servant is unto the hand of his master," is
not your eye upon this fond idol ? Is it not
among your last indulgences at night, and
your first in the morning ? What luxuries
flowing from the munificent hand of God—
what fruits—what food—what pastimes—
whatfriends—what studies—what sciences—
what affairs of state—what province in all
the vast amplitude of your dominions, occupies half so much time or attention as your
fond cigar, or your idolized pipe? Here,
here is a " power "—let no one despise it—
which carries " kings into captivity, arid
binds princes at its pleasure."
No man, my Lord, who has the soul pf a
man, can contemplate the mission of England and America—a mission, under God,
which is to spread constitutional liberty and
Christ's religion over the carth—but must
regard you, England's coming Ki»<i, with
intense interest and genuine good will. We
wish you to be a prince " who shall have

i ii k friend, ii i<:
How desirable you should be a model man,
and transmit model kings !
Tobacco is undeniably a poison, which injures the health, strength and manly courage
of ordinary mortals; and we are yet to learn
that the laws of Nature pay any such deference to royal blood, as to suppose it may not
injure you. Divine authority hus said, "It
is the honor of a king to tearch a matter."
We ask you, then, to go to the royal shelves,
consult some volume which treats on vegetuhlepoisons, and learn the nature and baneful effects of tobacco.
Set it down, my Lord, as a scientific and
philosophical truth, that God no more intended you should make this poison a bosom
friend than prussic acid, arsenic, henbane, or
a rattlesnake with his fatal fangs. As a poison, it disturbs the entire physical economy—
affects the nervous system, at one time maddening the sensibilities, at another rendering
its victim as amiable and oblivious as a sleep-
ing babe !
We paint imperfectly, my Lord, but we
paint from life. We think this poison, used
by one generation after another, injures th'e
nerves, strength and " style of man ; " or, in
the language of an English physician, "It
destroys the very principle of manhood." In
the lapse of time its votaries take on a peculiar type—they become tremulous and timid,
lank and Jean—they do not rise to the stature of men, and, what is worse, they afflict
church and state by entailing on their posterity their own physical and moral deterioration. Says another English physician,
the father is never so strikingly
" The sin of
visited on his children as in the sin of tobacco-smoking."
I know, my Lord, that some, who by
chance may glance at this humble tract, will
treat this subject with contempt. But, should
you consult such statesmen as Lord Palmer*
ston, such divines as the Dean of Carlisle,
and such physicians as Brodie, they might
tell you that the man is not born who can
take " the gauge and dimensions of this insidious enemy, which " has smote great nations." Why have Mexico, Germany, Turkey, Italy and Spain now so little nationality? Tobacco with them has had free
course, and is a mighty cause, among others,
of their inferior position. May not such be
the fate of England !
The example of a prince, says the word of
God, may be " clothed with desolation."
Hence, we aim to defend " Young America," my Lord, against your injurious example. But we cannot forget that there is
Young Ireland, Scotland and England, atid
that you have bumble reformers in your own
dominions wielding the battle-axe against
this and kindred evils, amidst indifference
and derision.
It is the character of a virtuous prince to
live for the good of his people. Hence, we
beg you, my Lord, to drop your meerschaum
and its affinities ; and as you are prospectively the Head of the Church, we beg you
to be the Head of the Temperance Cause
amidst a loyal and noble people. A cause
of such intrinsic excellence, working so admirably in all places and times, may not
borrow one iota of glory from prince or potentate; still,so much tire the masses swayed
by " names," that you, the Prince of Wales,
have power sufficient to give it a glorious

impulse, which will be felt till time shall
end.
Advance, my Lord, and honor the injunction, " It is not for kings to drink wine, nor
princes strong drink." Give your princely
strength to struggling reforms by pledging
total abstinence from intoxicating drinks
and deadly drugs." You will then be the
crown of rejoicing to the Sons and Daughters
of Temperance the world over ; and Bands
of Hope will spring from the peat lands of
Ireland, from the blue hills of Scotland, and
from the cold regions of the Canadas, and
bless you. Dear boys and girls, by millions,
will clap their hands, and give you such a
throne in their hearts as no earthly monarch
ever filled.
Respectfully, your friend, my Lord,
Geo. Trask.

hogs and other supplies. From there steered for New Inland,
where we cruised a short time, >>ut did not see any whalca. Experienced very boisterous weather, with very heavy squalls,
torrents of rain, and thunder and lightning in abundance. Kan
down oil' Booka Bay, and on the same night of our arrival a
heavy gale came on from the westward, which lasted several
days. After the gale abated, found ourselves a long distance
to the eastward of tbe bay, with a strong easterly current and
light westerly winds. Finding it itnpussible to beat back to the
bay again, put away for the equator, where we saw sperm
whales uiicci Captured three, which yielded eighty-rive barrels
of oil. Alter leaving llic equator, steered lor the Island of Ascension, where we arrived Feb. lor li. Hi-re we found plenty "I

the following day, and not haviug seen any signs of the captain
of the port, or boarding officer, and having no time to spare,
kept off for Japan Sua. Passed thiough between the islands of
Ousirua and Kakirouma March 18th into the Yellow Sea, where
we experienced a succession of gales up to the 31st of March,
when we passed through the Strait of Cores. After entering
JapanSea, steered to the north along the coast uubl arrivinj

show ot right whales for a lew days, hut it was utterly impossible to get a boat Mar one of them. After the whalesleft, went
off Sado. Here we cruised soma time, but saw no whales to
speak of, and those we did see were as wild as those we saw
further south. After leaving this ground, steered off for the
Woodlands aud White Bock. Saw no whales about the Woodlands, and but fewabout White Rock, and those wild aud on

Several public meetings were held id
Honolulu during the month of October, m
which the policy of importing laborers into
these Islands was fully discussed. The present coolie system, so called, is not without
serious objections and evils, but no plan has
yet been proposed which promises entirely
to ohviiite them. The English Government
has found great difficulty in grappling with
the Mime subject as applied to her West Indian colonies ; in view of which the Hawaiian Government is at least entitled to a lenient judgment regarding whatever mistakes
have been made. It is one of the remarkable teatures of the present day, that notwithstanding all the improvements whichmachinery has introduced into business and manufacturing, human muscle—the rough labor
of unskilled workmen —was never so much
called for, or so hard to get as now. The
experience of the past seems to teach that
labor will flow quickest into those channels
where it is entirely free, and where the son
of toil, however low he be in race or condition, finds in the kind treatment he receives
a full recognition of his manhood.

brought or attracted here to raise sugar,

versify. Our limited space will not allow us
continue the enumeration. As might be
imagined, such an occasion brought together
all the men of nntunfl science, for it was the
" Natural History Society " of Boston under
whose auspices the festival was celebrated.
To crown this vast assemblage, there stood
to
Aoarsiz,
the orator and speaker on this interesting occasion. He was not only the pupil of the
great Humboldt, but his personal friend and
correspondent for nearly thirty years. Nothing could have been more appropriate than
the selection of Prof. Agassiz as the orator
of the day. No person probably in Europe
or America was ko well fitted as Agassiz to

We listened to the address of Prof. Agassiz with mingled emotions of admiration and
reverence. It was surely a rare treat to sit
for good one hour and a half while the greatest living naturalist eulogized the greatest
naturalist and philosopher of modern times,
who stands forth without his peer among
*avans of the passing age, and as rivaling
even Aristotle among the renowned ol the

world.
Our limits will not allow us to give even
a brief synopsis of the masterly address. The
speaker was eloquent in his most simple utterances, for he imposed, evidently upon his
pen in writing, a truthfulness and severity
which clothed each paragraph in the most
chnste language and the most terse expressions. The speaker's allusions to his per
sonal indebtedness to Humboldt while a
young man in Paris, struggling for position
and a livelihood, formed a most touching
part of the admirable address. It was in
1830 when Humboldt was 62 and Agassiz
was 24 years of age. We copy as follows
" He had at this time two residences in
Paris; his lodging at the Hotel dcs Princes,
where he saw the great world, and his working room in the Rue dc la Harpe, where he
received with less formality his scientific
friends. It is with the latter place I associate
him; for there it was my privilege to visit
linn frequently. There he gave me leave to
come to talk with him about my work and
consult him in my difficulties. 1 am unwilling to speak of myself on this occasion, and
yet I do not know how else I can do justice
to one of the most beautiful sides of Humboldt's character. His sympathy forall young
students of nature was one of the noblest
traits «f his long life. It may truly be said
that toward the close of his career there was
hardly one prominent or aspiring scientific
man in the world who was not under some

interested, but extended also to their material wants and embarrassments. At thia
period 1 was twenty-four; he was sixty-two.
1 had recently taken my degree ns Doctor of
Medicine, and was .struggling not only for a
scientific position, but for the means oi existence also. I have said that lie gave me permission to come as often as I pleased to his
room, opening to ipp freely the inestimable
advantages which intercourse with such o
man gave to a young investigator like myself. But he did far more than this. Occupied and surrounded as he was, he sought
me out in my own lodging. The first visit
he paid ine at my narrow quarters in tin'
Quartier Latin, where I occupied a' small
room in the Hotel du Jartlin des Plantes, was
characteristic of the man. After a cordial
greeting, he walked straight to what was
then my library, —a small book-shelf containing a few classics, the meanest editions
bought for a trifle along the quays, some
works on philosophy and history, chemistry
and physics, his own Views of Nature, Aristotle's Zoology, Linnreus' Systema Naturre,
in several editions, Cuvier's'Regne Animal,
and quite a number of manuscript quartos,
copies which, with the assistance of my
brother, I had made of works I was too poor
to buy, though they cost but a few francs a
volume. Most conspicuous of all were twelve
volumes of the new German Cyclopedia presented to me by the publisher. I shall never
forget, after his look of mingled interest and
surprise at my little collection, his half-sarcastic question as he pounced upon the great
Encyclopedia, ' Woe machen Sie den-n mit
dieter fyeitbructf '—What are you doing
with this cue'* In-iiltji .' —the somewhat contemptuous name given in Germany to similar compilations. ' I have not had time,' I
said, ' to study the original sources of learning, and I need a prompt and easy answer to
a thousand questions I have as yet no other
means of solving.'
" It was no doubt apparent to him that 1
was not over familiar with the pood things
of this world, for 1 shortly afterward received
an invitation to meet him at six o'clock in
the ' Gallerie Vitree' of the Pnlais Koyal,
whence he led me into one of those restaurants, the tempting windows of which I had
occasionally passed by. When we were
seated, he half laughingly, half inquiringly,
asked me whether I would order the dinner.
1 declined the invitation, saying that we
.should fare better if he would take the trouble. And for three hours, which passed like
a dream, I had him all to myself. How he
examined me, and how much I learned in
that short time! How to work, what to do,
and what to avoid ; how to live ; how to distribute my time ; what methods of study to
pursue,—these were the things of which he
talked to me on that delightful evening. I
do not mention this trivial incident without
feeling that it may seem too familiar for the
occasion ; nor should I give it at all, except
that it shows the sweetness and kindliness of
Humboldt's nature. It was not enough for
him to cheer and stimulate the student; he
cared also to give a rare indulgence to a
young man who could allow himself few luxuries."
brought against Humboldt was perfectly
groundless. It appears that the atheists of
Europe and America claim Humboldt as
their great leader. One of the speakers in
the German festival at Boston, on this very
occasion, puts forth this claim. His name is
Karl Heinzen, and he asserts that in Humboldt's great work, " Cosmos," there is not a
single allusion to God, indicative of a belief
on Humboldt's part that he was a believer in
the divine existence of a personal God. If
such is the fact, then there is great appropriateness and force in the prayer of the Rev.
Dr. Walker on this occasion :
"O thou infinite source of life and light,
we invoke thy blessing on these services in
the memories they awaken and the hopes
they inspire. We acknowledge and adore
that Providence by which gifted men are
raised up from time to time to make us better acquainted with the heavens which declare thy glory and with the earth which
shows thy handiwork. Impress, we beseech
thee, upon the great masters of science that
they also are prophets sent to reveal the
thoughts and the ways of the living God.
Suffer not the rapid increase of natural light
to dazzle our eyes or obscure or confuse that
divine light which comes from thy word, and
from the instincts and aspirations of the
human soul, so that science and faith may
reverently work together for the good of man
and the glory of God, through Christ our
Lord. Amen."
The music at this grand festival was of
the very highest order, and executed in the
highest style of finish. It was executed in
a manner that only German musicians know
how to give to musical performances. Senator Sumner was overheard to remark to
Holmes, the novelist and poet, " I should not
like to have such music before I was goinir
to speak." The following programme was

EVENING HUMBOLDT FESTIVAL.
At the Horticultural Hall, on the evening
of September 14th, there was a large gathering of the literary and scientific men of Bosobligation to him. His sympathy touched
Professor Agassiz endeavored to show that ton. The entertainment was given by the

�THE FRIEND, MMIifIUKK,
the most becoming and appropriate style.
Before the large audience of invited guests
were conducted to the " groaning " tables,
there was such " a feast of reason and flow
of soul" as rarely is spread before an expectant audience. The Rev. R. C. Waterston
was Chairman of the meeting. He exhibited
a palm branch that was laid upon the coffin
of Humboldt at his funeral. This branch
was brought to America and presented to
Professor Agassiz. There was also on exhibition portraits, photographs, autographic
letters, and various other memorials of him,
whose memory the audience would honor by
their presence.
There were several extempore (speakers,
in
who entertained the andience in a most
agreeable manner for nearly two full hours.
The names of these speakers will indicate
the general character of their addresses.
First came Col. Higginson.so well known
as a writer for the "Atlantic." The speaker
contrasted the universality of Humboldt's
knowledge with the infinitessimal acquirements of ordinary men. What poems and
pictures did he leave for them ! When Hum-
boldt said that a book about nature should
produce on.the mind the same impression as
nature herself, what a place did he assign to
literature. The Comos testified to the grandeur of his position as a teacher. Nothing
that they were likely to do or say was grand
enough to express the value to theage of one
such intellect as Humboldt.
Then followed an address from the Rev.
Dr. Hedges, a German scholar of great learning and eminence. He said that " Humboldt was a logical marvel of a man and an
impressive illustration of the capacities of the
human mind. After enlarging on his topic,
he said he knew of no mind modern or ancient whose universality compared with Humboldt with the exception of Aristotle. There
was a striking parallel between them.
Both

were contemporaneous
conquerors of the world—Napoleon and
Alexander. He then referred to the heroism
of Humboldt, his unswerving devotion in extending the empire of mind, and the manner
in which he had relieved the mind from the
pressure of all that was local and limiting in
Jewish theology* He defended Humboldt
from the charge of atheism that had been
brought against him. He had always expressed his belief in a God; indeed, if he
had not so believed he would not have had
the heart to prosecute his investigations."
The following remarks of the sage philosopher of Concord, Mass., Ralph Waldo Emerson, were listened to with deep interest:
«' He thought the life of Humboldt one of
the most remarkable in history. He was one
of those wonderful men who appeared from
time to time as if to show us the possibilities
of the human mind and to exalt our ideas of
the genus homo. The faculties of all of us
were apt to appear separately—one appearing now and another again. Humboldt was
like Aristotle or Julius Caesar, or an admirable Crichton—one of the few great universal
men whose faculties were not separated, but
worked in unison, the men being well put
together. There seemed to be a sort of electric light in them through which their faculties mutually aided each other. He thought
that the service which Humboldt had rendered to humanity was in the remarkable
manner in which he had exhibited himself
in his extraordinary Cosmos. He marched
along like an army with solid phalanx and
expanded wings, in the full clauses and
parentheses of those remarkable pages. He
did not think there was any book like it.
His powers were so large and so self-helping
that nothing could lose or disappoint him.
When he was stopped in Spain and could
not get away, he turned round and interpreted the mountain system of Spain and
explained the past history of the continent
of Europe. Wherever he stopped he found
resources for. his mind. They were all familiar with his history, and were glad to hear
the statements that had been made. That
remarkable nation of Germans had been
growing upon us, and showing themselves
to be the foremost scholars of the world.
They had a certain pace, one might say, a
certain endurance, a certain power ol labor,
which left all other scholars behind them.
They knew well their strength, and nations
were coining to know it. The Germans said
if was not the battle of Leipsic but the Leipsic catalogue which raised them above the
French. The Germans read a literature,
while Americans read a book. Their power
of endurance and pace made a class of scholars such as had never before been seen. He
remembered reading in Cavier that more remains of the fossil elephant were found in
Germany than in any other country. It was
not because there were more remains in the
soil, but because in every canton of that remarkable country there was a man of scientific culture who could make the necessary
investigations. There was a better report of
scientific facts from Germany than from any
other country*''
Addresses were also made by Dr. Jackson,
of Boston, and the Rev. Mr. Young, Professor of Oriental languages and literature in
Harvard University.
As the exercises were protracted to a late
hour, we left the hall while the assembly was
engaged in the agreeable privilege of "supping at the city's expense. We learned
from the Boston I domrtieer of the following
morning that "after the repast, a poem, remarkable for its vigor and thoughtfulness,
was spiritedly read by Professor Oliver Wendell Holmes. The poem contrasted the two
great children of the year 1769—Humboldt
and Napoleon,—and in a few striking and
picturesque verses, compared the lasting
glories resulting from the conquest of knowledge to the transitory success and embarrassments resulting from the conquest of empire.

Howe was also read. The Germania Band
played during the supper. A letter was read
from J. G. Whittier. The company shortly
afterwards separated."
MONDAY MORNING MEETING OF ORTHODOX CONGREGATIONAL MINISTERS OF BOSTON.
There is a pleasant gathering of Congregational ministers of Boston and vicinity
every Monday morning at the lecture mom
of Park street Church. It was our privilege
to be present and listen to familiar remarks
and discussions on the 13th of September.
About forty were present. Among them it
was pleasant to be welcomed by the Rev.
William Snow, of Lawrence, Mnss., and who
is so well known in Honolulu. It is customary on these occasions lo discuss topics of
current interest relating to local matters,
missionary and ecclesiastical, and also questions relating to national affairs. On this
occasion the lopic up for consideration was
the Chinese problem, now being solved by
the American people. It is quite remarkable
how suddenly and potentially this question
has burst upon the American mind—lay and
clerical. A clap of thunder in a clear sky
would not have been more unexpected to the
majority of the community. This question
appears to have arisen simultaneously with
the completion of the Pacific railroad. The
instant the last spike was driven this great
question was precipitated upon the public
mind. Hitherto the Chinese of California
appeared as far distant as their countrymen
on the opposite side of the Pacific Ocean.
It was somewhat remarkable too that just
as the long and violent agitation of the negro
question was beginning to subside and quiet
was gaining possession of the public mind,
there comes up the Chinese problem for elucidation and settlement. AH classes in the
community appear to be interested in' the
discussion of this important subject. All the
newspnpers, both religious and secular, continually present theirreaders with paragraphs
relating to the Chinese. Editors, politicians,
divines, manufacturers, laborers and philanthropists have their peculiar ideas, more or
less tinged by their own previously formed
opinions.
It was not strange then that a company of
Orthodox congregational ministers should
come together on Monday morning lor a free
and easy discussion of the history, churacter.-,
peculiarities, ideas and prospects of
JOHN CHINAMAN.
A special invitation was extended to us to
present the condition and prospects of the
Chinese on the Hawaiian Islands. As we
had become somewhat acquainted and interested in the subject, it afforded us some degree of gratification to indicate the method

�THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER,
Terible
ABedfellow.
I looked at my neighbor with considerable
curiosity. His face indicated a man of not
over thirty years—a period at which men are
still young—'but his hair was as white as
fresh fallen snow. One seldom sees, even
on the heads of the oldest men, hair of such
immaculate whiteness. He sat by my side
in a car of the Great Western Railway, in
Canada, and was looking out of the window.
Suddenly turning his head, he caught me in
the act of staring at him—a rudeness of
which I was ashamed. 1 was about to say
words of apology, when he quietly remarked :
"Don't mention it, sir. I'm used to it."
The frankness of this observation pleased
me, and in a very little while we were conversing on terms of familiar acquaintanceship, and before long he told me the whole
story. " I was a soldier in the army of
India," he said, " and, as it is often the case
with the soldiers, I was a little too fond of
liquor. One day 1 got drunk, and was shut
up in the black hole for it. I slumped down
upon the floor of the dungeon, and I was
just dropping off" to sleep, when I felt a cold
shape crawling across my right hand, as it
lay stretched out above my head on the
floor. 1 knew at once what it was—a snake!
Of course, my first impulse was to draw
away my hand but knowing that if I did
so, the poisonous reptile would probably
strike its fangs into me, I lay still, with my
heart lieating in my breast like a trip-hammer.
Of course, my fright sobered me instantly. I
realized all my peril in its fullest extent. 0,
how I lamented the hour that I first touched
the liquor! In every glass of liquor there is
a serpent; but it does not come to everybody
in the shape that it did to me. With a slow,
undulating motion, the reptile dragged its
carcass across my face, inch by inch, and
crept down over my breast, and thrust its
head inside my jacket. As I felt the hideous
scraping of the slimy body over my cheeks,
it was only by a most tremendous effort that
I succeeded in restraining myself from yelling loudly with mingled terror'and disgust.
At last I felt the tail wiggling down towards
my chin; but imagine what I felt at my
heart, if you can imagine it, as 1 realized
that the dreadful creature had coiled itself
up under my jacket as I lay, and had seem
ingly gone to sleep, for it was as still as
death. Evidently it had no idea that I was
a human creature ; if it had, it would not
have acted in that way. All snakes are cowardly, and they will not approach a man unless to strike linn in sell-delense.
Three hours I lay therewith that dreadful weight in my bosom, and each minute
was an hour to me—like a year. I seemed
to have lived a lifetime in that brief space.
Every incident of my life passed through my
memory in rapid succession, as they say is
the case with the drowning man. I thought
of my mother away in old England, my
happy home by the Avon, my Mary, the girl
1 loved, and never expected to see tlioin more.
For no matter how long 1 bore this, I felt
that it must end in death at last. I lay as
rigid as a corpse, scarcely daring even to
breathe, and all the while my breast was
growing colder and colder, where the snake
was lying against it, with nothing but a thin
*. otton shirt between my skin and its. I knew

that if I stirred it would strike, but I could
much longer. Even if I succeeded in lying still until the guard came, 1
expected his opening the door and coming
in, would be my death-warrant all the same;
for no doubt the reptile would see that I was
a man ;is soon as the light was let in at the
door. At last I heard footsteps approaching.
There was u rattling at the lock. It was the
guard. He opened the door. The snake—
a cobra di cobeUa, I now saw—darted up
its huge hooded head, with the hideous rings
around its eyes, as if about to strike. I shut

glided away with swift motion and disappeared in the darkness. I staggered to my
feet and fell swooning in the arms of the
guard. For weeks after 1 was very sick, and
when I was able to be about, I found my hair
as white as you now see it. I have not

What is Trouble?
A company of Southern ladies were one
day assembled in a lady's parlor, when the
conversation chanced to turn on the subject
of earthly affliction. Each had her story of
peculiar trial and bereavement to relate, except one pale, sad looking woman, whose
lusterless eye and dejected eye showed that
she was a prey to the deepest melancholy.
Suddenly arousing herself, she said in a hollow voice, " Not one of you know what
trouble is."
Will you please, Mrs. Gray," said the
"
kind voice of a lady who well knew her
story, "tell the ladies what you call trouble?"
" I will if you desire it," she replied, " for
I have seen it. My parents possessed a competence, and my girlhood was surrounded by
all the comforts of life. I seldom knew an
ungratified wish, and was always gay and
one
light-hearted. 1 married at nineteen
that I loved more than all the world besides.
Our home was retired, but the sunlight never
fell on a lovelier one, or a happier household.
Years rolled on peacefully. Five children
sat around our table, and a little curly head
still nestled in my bosom. One night, about
sundown, one of those fierce black storms
came on, which are so common in our Southern climate. For many hours the rain poured
down incessantly. Morning dawned, but
still the elements'raged. The whole Savannah seemed afloat. The little stream near
our dwelling became a raging torrent. Before we were aware of it, our house was surrounded by water. I managed with my bubea
to reach u little elevated spot, on which
lew wide spreading shade trees were standsome proing, whose dense foliage afforded sons

to save what they could of our property. At
last a fearful surge swept away my husband,
and he never rose again. Ladies—no one
ever loved a husband more, but that was not
each other, as their little island grew smaller
and smaller.
" The sullen river raged around the huge
trees; dead branches,upturned trunks, wrecks
of houses, drowning cattle, masses of rubbish,
all were floating past us. My boys waved
their hands to me, then pointed upward. I
knew it was a farewell signal, and you.
mothers, can imagine my anguish. I saw
them ail perish, and yet that was no trouble.
" 1 hugged my balie close to my heart, and
when the water rose to my feet, 1 climbed
into the lower branches of the tree, and so
kept retiring before it, till an All-powerful
hand stayed the waves that they should come
no further. I was saved. All my worldly
possessions were swept away; all my earthly
hopes blighted—yet that was not trouble.
"My babe was all I had left on earth. I
labored night and day to support him and
myself, and sought to train him in the right
way ; hut as he crew older evil companions
wnii biro away from me. He ceased to care
for his mother's counsels ; he would sneer at
her entreaties and agonizing prayers. He
left my humble roof that he might be unrestrained in the pursuit of evil, and at last,
when heated by '-vine one night, he took the
life of a fellow being, and ended his owir
upon the scaffold. My Heavenly Father had
filled my cup with sorrow before ; now it ran
That was trouble, ladies, such as I
hope His mercy will spare you from ever experiencing."
There was no dry eye among her listeners, and the warmest sympathy was expressed
for the bereaved mother, whose sad history
had taught them a useful lesson.— Pucifie.

BlBLIOOIUPHT Or THI HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 76 page*.
Printed for James F. Hunnewell. Boston 1869.
:
" Our table " is any spot whereon we can
lay our paper conveniently or inconveniently
for writing. Sometimes it is a trunk, at
others a merchant's desk, at others " our
knee " in a railway car, but now a student's
table in the centre of one of the most choice
and handsome collections of books. This
library is that of the author of the work we
have now under consideration. The friends
of Hawaiian literature, books and history,
are exceedingly fortunate in having a gentleman of Mr. Hunnewell's means and inclinations become so much interested in our
islands, their inhabitants, and whatever relates to their welfare. He is a man of rare
taste in his selection of books, pictures and
works of art.
The present work embraces a complete
catalogue of all the books of travel, history,
missions, commerce, science and literature
which have ever been published at the islands, in America or Europe. We think any
one examining this work will be surprised to
learn how much has really been published
about what Edward Everett humorously
styled the little pin'head kingdom of the

tinue to grow, for the words of Solomon are
emphatically true in regard to the Hawaiian
Islands, " of making books, there is no end."
It only remains for us to notice the fact
that only 100 copies arc printed in the quarto
form. The printing is executed in the most
costly style, upon tinted paper, at the press
of A. A. Kingman, " Museum of Boston So-
ciety of Natural History."
As we look up from our sheet and glance
our eyes around the beautiful book cases
filled with costly bound and handsomely
printed volumes, written by the gifted writers
of ancient and modern times in Europe and
America, wo are deeply impressed with the
richness, value and usefulness of that legacy
which the present generation of literary men
have inherited from by-gone ages. The man
fond of study and reading, and surrounded
with such an array of books, and the means
to purchase more, might well exclaim with
one of Shakespeare's characters

J. F. H.
This work was scarcely completed on the
2d of May last, when Mr. James Hunnewell,
senior, died. In its publication he was ex-
ceedingly interested. During the closing
years of his life he renewed his youth by
dwelling upon the scenes of his early life at
the Hawaiian Islands. His friends and visitors were often entertained by his vivid descriptions of Hawaiian "scenes and scenery."
Wc'cannot imagine anything more truly
appropriate and graceful, respectful and filial,
than for his only son to prepare this work
and dedicate the same to his " dear and honored " father. Not only does the volume contain a catalogue of books relating to the Hawaiian Islands, but it is accompanied by an
interesting prefatory essay upon "civilization
at the Hawaiian Islands."
Former bibliographists—Pease, Martin,
Brigham, and others—are much indebted to
the author for thus perfecting an undertaking which was commenced many years ago,
and which kas been growing, and must con-

was formerly in possession of Napoleon I.
while a prisoner on the Island of St. Helena.
It was among his books at the time of his
death, and when his library was taken to
London and sold, this set fell into the hands
of some fortunate dealer in rare books, and
has finally fallen into the hands of the au-
thor of " Hawaiian bibliography." The original copper plates of this great work are reported to be preserved in the Vatican at
Rome. Its publication extended through
many years about the middleof the eighteenth
century. An examination of such books, so
many of which are to be found in private
and public libraries, makes us feci that there
were " giants in those days," and that the
boasted learning of the nineteenth century is
somewhat presuming.
We would merely add that Mr. Hunnewell is now engaged in printing at his own
expense the records of the first parish of
Charlestown, Massachusetts. Some of these
are more than two hundred years old, and
contain information of importance relating
to an interesting period of colonial history.
DViAeaontlhyfJava.
The destructive agency of carbonic acid
gas on animal life is well exemplified in certain places where large quantities are evolved
from the earth. The most striking instance,
however, is the celebrated valley of Java,
which, if any animal enters, he never leaves.
The following interesting account is given
by an eye-witness We took with us two
dogs and some fowls to try experiments in
this poisonous hollow. On arriving at the
foot of the mountain we dismounted and
scrambled up the side, about a quarter of a
mile, holding on by the branches of trees.
When within a few yards of the valley, we
experienced a strong, nauseous suffocating
smell, but on coining close to its edge this
disagreeable odor left us. The valley appeared to be about half a mile in circumference, oval, and the depth from thirty to thirtyfive feet ; the bottom quite flat ; no vegetation ; strewed with some very large (apparently) river stones, and the whole covered
with skeletons of human beings, tigers, pigs,
deer, peacocks, and all sorts of birds. We
could not perceive any vapor or any opening
in the ground, which last appeared to us to
be of a hard, sandy substance. It was now
proposed by one of the party to enter the valley ; but at the spot where we were, this
was difficult, at least for me, as one false step
would have brought us to eternity, seeing no
assistance could be given. We lighted our
cigars, and with the assistance of a bamboo,
we went down within eighteen feet of the
bottom. Here we did not experience any
difficulty in breathing, but an offensive nauseous smell annoyed us. We now fastened
a dog to the end of a bamboo eighteen feet
long, and sent him in. We had our watches
in our hands, and in fourteen seconds he fell
on his back, he did not move his limbs or
look round, but continued to breathe eighteen
minutes. We then sent in another, or rather
he got loose and walked in to where the
other dog was lying. He then stood quite
still, and in ten minutes fell on his face, and
never afterwards moved his limbs ; he continued to breathe seven minutes. We now
tried a fowl, which died in a minute and a
half. We threw in another, which died before touching the ground. During these experiments we experienced a heavy shower of
rain ; but we were so interested by the awful
sight before us that we did not care forgetting wet. On the opposite side, near a large
stone, was the skeleton of a human being,
who must have perished on his back, with his
right hand under his head. From being exposed to weather, the bones were bleached
as white as ivory. 1 was anxious to procure
this skeleton, but an attempt to get it would
have been madness.—A'< m York Obeeroer,

Letter, from Hawaii.
The following extract of a letter lately

will doubtless interest many of our readers,
ami those especially interested in the evangeluation of the Chinese :

Through the liberality of some of the
citizens of Honolulu, the Beading Boom at
the Sailors' Home, has recently undergone
a compline change; it lias been papered,
neatly grained, and nicely furnished; the
tables are well stocked with magazines, local
and foreign paper. the library also is to be
enriched with many new books, and altogether the room is made quite attractive.
The credit of this good work is mainly due
to the Young Men's Christian Association of
this city, who have taken charge of the room
for 12 months ; it is now open from 9 a. m.
to 10 p. m„ free to all. Officers and seamen
of vessels are especially invited to the room,
where they will find comfortable quarters;
and will as usual lie supplied with paper,
pen and ink free, and every facility given
for writing home to their friends.

VISIT TO MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN.
During the last three days, ending tins
morning, June 14th, we have traveled live
hundred miles by railroad, and yet spent two
days at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. On Friday
morning, May 11th, we left Minneapolis.
Passing rapidly through the southern part
of the State of Minnesota and the northern
put of lowa, we crossed the Mississippi at
Prairie dv Chien, and taking a sleeping car,
we found ourselves in the morning on the
opposite side of the State of Wisconsin, approaching Milwaukee, a city of 80,000 inhabitants, and situated on the western shore
of Lake Michigan, 85 miles north of Chi-

immense, and upon the increase.
From the high bluffs overlooking the lake

In the rear of the city our attention was
called to a large circular building now employed for an extensive ice house. The ice
is supplied from water raised by an artesian
well. This well was sunk about 700 feet in
order to obtain u supply of petroleum, but instead thereof a fountain of pure water teat

From the several speakers we gathered
the inference that there is a strong desire on
the part of the Evangelical portion of the
Episcopal Church, first, to revise the PrayerBook, and so change the phraseology of the
baptismal service, as not to convey the idea
that the child itregenerated nam the baptismal water is applied. Secondly,Vi recognize the clergy of other denominations as

One earnest speaker remarked that he
should be ashamed to enter heaven and be
welcomed by a Christian minister and gentleman there, while he could not maintain
fraternal relationship with such Christian
gentleman on earth, for he doubted not the

WEEK OF TIIAVKI..
One week ago to-day, June 23d, we attended the Episcopal Evangelical Convention at Chicago, and then hurried away by
the night train to Springfield, Illinois, the
late home of President Lincoln, and also the
place where his mortal remains now lie entombed in Oak Ridge Cemetery. We were
allowed only one day there, and taking the
next night train, we were whirled along over
the brood prairies of Illinois and Indiana to
Columbus, Ohio, a distance of over four hundred miles, in twenty-one hours. After
spending a few hours in the city of the Buckeye State, we were delighted to retire to the
peaceful city of Delaware the teat of learning, and the site of the "Ohio Wesleyan
University," and also of a flourishing female
seminary. After spending a quiet and peaceful Sabbath among choice friends, we hurried away on Monday by a night train to
Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and find ourselves
enjoying a tlay of rest in the charming borough of Swissvale, about eight miles away
from the grim and smoky city of Pittsburg,
where iron is king, coal is queen, and coal
oil is prime' minister. We rejoice in a day

This meeting commenced in 1857, and
has been continued until the present time.
Muring our brief sojourn of two days in the
city <d New York on our journey across the
..intinetit to New England, we yet found
tune, June 30th, to attend one of the noon
day prayer-meetings at Fulton street. The
impression left upon the mind corresponds to
the oft-written descriptions which we have
road in the religious newspapers respecting
those meetings. It is a most solemn and
earnest appeal to the busy and worldly multitude, to turn aside from the noisy and
thronging streets fin the purpose of spending
a brief hour in prayer to Cod. It requires
no stretch of the imagination to fancy HV.idom standing in the street, and calling to
the passing throng, as represented by Solomon, in the eighth of the Book of Proverbs:
"Doth not wisdom cry. and understanding put forth her voice. She standeth in
the lop of high places, by the way in the
places of the paths ; she crieth at the gates,
at the entry of the city, at the coming in at
the doors ; Huto you, O men, I call ; and my
voice is to the sons of man. O ye simple, understand wisdom, and ye fools, be ye of an
understanding heart," &c.

" Your speaker once stood among the respected members of the bar. Nay, mom than

he continued, his voice sinking into a tone
expressive of deep emotion, " he once had a

But all these honors, all these blessings, have
departed from him. He was unworthy to

A state of sobriely brought too many dreadful thoughts ; I drank more deeply, and was
rarely, if ever, free from bewildering effects
of partial intoxication. At last I became so
abandoned that my wife,urged by her friends,
no doubt, filed an application for a divorce,
and as cause could be readily shown why it
should be granted, a separation was legally
declared ; and to complete my disgrace, at
the Congressional canvass I was left off the
ticket, as unfit to represent the district.

then wondered, listened at last, and at last

THE
good resolution, restored me to much that I
have lost; but not all—not the richest treasure, lhat I have proved myself unworthy to
retain—not my wife nnd children. Between
myself and these the law had laid its stern,
impassable interdictions, I have no longer
a wife, no longer children, though my heart
goes toward these "loved ones with the tenderesl yearnings. Pictures of our curly days
of wedded love are ever lingering in my
Imagination. I dream of the sweet fire-side
circle, I see ever before me the placid face of
my Alice, as her eyes looked into mine with
intelligent confidence ; the music of her voice
is ever sounding in my ears."
Here the speuker's emotion overcame him;
his utterance became choked, and he stood
silent, with bowed head and trembling limbs.
The dense mass of people Were hushed into
an oppressive stillness, that was broken here
and there by half-stilled sobs.
At this moment there was a movement in
the crowd. A single female figure, before
whom every one appeared instinctively to
give way, was seen passing up the aisle.
This was not observed l>v the speaker until
she had come nearly in front of the platform
on which he stood. Then the movement
caught his ear, his eyes that instant fell on
Alice, who, by the kindness of those near
her, was conducted to his side. The whole
audience, thrilled with the scene, were upon
their feet, bending forward, when the speaker
extended his arms, ami Alice threw herself
upon his bosom.
An aged minister then came forward and
gently separated them. " No. no," said the
reformed Congressman, " you cannot take
her away from me."
Heaven forbid that 1 should," said the
minister; " but by your own confession she
is not your wife."
" No, she is not," returned the speaker,
"
mournfully.
" But is ready to take her vows again,"
modestly said Alice, in a low tone, smiling
through her tears.
Before that large assembly, all standing,
and with few dry eyes, the marriugc ceremony was again performed, that gave the
speaker and Alice to each other. As the
minister, an aged mini, with thin white
locks, completed the marriage rite, ho laid
Ins hands upon the heads of the two he had
joined in the holy bonds, and lifting up his
streaming eyes, said m a solemn voice,
" What God hath joined together, let
not
rum put asunder."
"Amen ! " was cried by the whole assembly, as with a single voice.— Old Oaken
Bucket.
"Son, Remember
!"
There was a cry of anguish from the
abyss, an imploring entreaty for the smallest
gift that poverty could ask or wealth refuse.
But the only boon heavenly pity could bestow was the memory of the past. " Son,
remember.''
Remember! No hope ? No future? Must
all <he treasures of my immortality cluster
around the -few years I spent on earth ?
Remember! What must I remember ?
I remember my early home, with its
happy hours nnd its pleasant duties—my
merry, thoughtless childhood.
I remember the Xumiay-gvhool, the faith

ful lessons of my patient teachers, the warnings I cast aside so lightly, the invitations
that fell unheeded, those stirring hymns.
which I sang so earnestly, which I almost
believed I should chant in heaven. I shall
never sing again. How terrible a contrast
docs the remembrance of that almost celes-
tial music make with the horrid sounds that
encircle me now.
I remember the Hihl<, my Bibb:. Ah, it
was a gift, that beautiful Bible, from one
who loved its sacred pages. How often ditl
the dust gather upon its lids. How dull a
hook it seemed to me then. A letter fioni
Rich promises demy Maker neglected
spised, threatenings 1 would not believe.
Many a verse graven on my memory, but
not one upon my heart. No Bible here;
not one promise, not one line. No need of
evidences, for there are here no unbelievers
in its truth.
[ remember my mother. What a crowd
of associations cluster thick and fast as nieinorv recalls my sainted mother. Her counsel,
her loving words of entreaty, her affection,
her prayers. How she talked to me of the
heaven she wished me to share with her.
She is there now, but she has forgotten
I feel that she cannot think of me, for there
are no tears there ; and if she could remember me, her mother's heart would throb with
sorrow, and would she not weep ? How
would one tear of sympathy, falling even
from that dizzy height, cool my burning
brow. I shall never see her again, never
hear her gentle voice, never feel her warm
kiss, or press her soft hand. There is a great
gulf fixed. All I can ever know of my tender mother is the memory.
I remember my mother's grace. There
all the fountains of my nature were broken
up. The tears that fell seemed to purify. I
was never so near the gate of heaven. There
seemed but one more step. I resolved then,
as I looked for the last time in her face, that
I would take that step, liecome a Christian,
and join her above. But 1 did not begin at
Once. I did not ask God to help me to
commence from that hour to serve him, and
so for me my mother died in vain.
1 retnembar the Sabbatles that came so
often, the church-liells sounding so sweetly
on the quiet air, the gathering worshipers,
the earnest prayer, the message from Cod.
I was seldom absent; neither did the sermons
fall on inattentive ears, for I was a critic.
Nothing but the highest order of eloquence
satisfied my fastidious taste. There ministers of Christ pleaded with me. The sacred
blood ol the Saviour was seared out belore
mv eyes. The crass was held up from
Sabbath to Sabbath, and from year to year.
Again and again the Holy Spirit moved over
the ]n-ople, and 1 was almost persuaded to
be a Christian, but not just then. That
Sabbath-bell is hushed. The voice of the
preacher is chanting high praises in the
upper sanctuary. I shall never hear them
again. I can only rimiiidnr them in my
!
nu.
.
from his gentle entreaties, and now they
have ceased for ever.
I think now of the wealth Cod gave me,
which I s)H'iit in my own ease and selfish
indulgence, and which 1 did not dispense as
his steward ; the business, so engrossing that
il left no time for stayer J the terrible warnings I received, which only arrested me for
a moment.
How patient Got! was with mr.
How long-siiflcriiig the Saviour. Each day
brought its blessinga uncounted and unacknowledged, each night its solemn reminder
of death, but nil in vain. A thousand gentle
persuasions of the Spirit, which in the whirl
of pleasure fell unheeded, recur to mc now,
A thousand secret monitions neglected come
thronging on my memory, and every lime I
remember them my infatuation and my folly
seem more inexcusable.
These remembrance! madden me, vet I
can not forget. J'.ver as the endless coil tit
eternity tightens around me, is graven deeper
and deeper on my soul the memory of the
blessings 1 enjoyed and wasted, of the privileges and opportunities gone beyond recall.
In the hush of terrestrial night the stars
looketl down upon me, and taught me God's
wisdom ami omnipotence.
Not one star
shines here. The sunlight was a glorious
gift. But of all the myriad rays which
flood the immensity of space, not one is
ever commissioned to pierce this blackness
of darkness,
1 recall many a scene of loveliness. The
spring-time with its fairy blossoms, the green
valley, the brook, the meadow, and the blue
mountain ; the birds tilling the air with their
melody, and the busy street with its active,
restless throng, Oh earth, even earth,
though scathed by sin and blighted then,
seems a very paradise to me now. It is
circling with obedient course in its orbit,
fairer and lovelier than ever in its restored
glories; but on its varied beauty I shall
never look again. I can only remember it
as my first home, my only borne.
This ia
not home.
The bitterest drop jn my cup of gall, in
the thought that there was a home of inefliible peace offered nn: which I shall never
enter, a harp tuned for me whose chorda I
shall never sweep, and a crown of immortal
life set before me which I shall never wear.
Blessed JeStM, I thank thee that I am still
in the land of hope; that there is g, t no
great gulf fixed between me and a heaven of
infinite blessedness. Let me no longer risk
my soul by delay. Help me to redeem the
time. Too long have I grieved thy mercy:

PICNIC EXCURSION OVERLAND.
As early as February we made our calculations that the Pacific Railroad would be
sufficiently completed to convey passengers
by the first of May. The result proved that
we were not far from right. Every morning's report in the daily papers indicated
that each day from three to six miles were
completed, while on some days the track
layers finished even ten miles. The last
spike was driven May 10th, and the first
through train of cars had arrived at the spot
where the ceremony took place. This train
immediately left for Sacramento, and reached
that city on the morning of the 12th. The
President and Directors of the Central
Pacific Road, together with the through passengers, arrived on that train. We arrived
in Sacramento that day, and were prepared
to start on the first return trip, May 13th.
We improved the opportunity to gather from
the officers of the road and passengers such
information as would enable us to pass over
the long route without unnecessary fatigue
and anxiety. We would especially acknowledge our indebtedness for useful information
to Dr. Harkness, of Sacramento, who had
just returned from Promontory Point, where
the last spike was driven, and who has taken
much interest in the grand enterprise.
According to his advice, we delayed our
departure until the morning of the 13th,
which fortunately enabled us to join an overland party of travelers from Honolulu, including Capt. Worth, of Hilo; J. T. Waterhouse, Esq., wife and daughter ; Mrs. Hall,
and Mr. and Mrs. Owen ; hence our party
now consisted of ten. In accordance with
Dr. Harkness' suggestion, we provided ourselves with about the same supplies for the
'ourney that we should have done, provided

�THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER,
Salt Lake. We had read for years of this
great inland ocean, but yet we could hardly
believe that at last we stood on its very
shores. We gathered some pebbles from the
sacred soil, rendered so famous by the
ploits of the Mormons. At noon we reached
Promontory Point, where but a few days before the connection was made. We were
now forced to say " good-bye " to the people
of the Central Pacific, and nobly have they
accomplished their share of the work. The
laurel tie is gone, and another of more common wood is there, over which we islanders
joined hands.
Ogden was welcomed by all after a long
afternoon's ride over sage covered plains.
Its green fertile fields and smooth rolling
hills were to our tired eyes like the first sight
of land after a long voyage, or as the first
green verdure of spring. The fields were
filled with wild flowers, and the song of the
meadow lark was heard on every side.
Ogden is the second city in size to Salt Lake
city in Utah. From this point passengers
take stages to Salt Lake. We should have
enjoyed a visit to the city of Brigham Young
had the railroad been completed, but were
obliged to postpone it to some other time.
As we passed on, the train from Chicago arrived, and we merely exchanged papers.
Late in the afternoon we entered the
famous Weber Canon. The rain was falling
in torrents, and everything betokened a
stortrl. The track wound through the most
romantic ravines and gorges, which those
who have traveled the world over say are
unsurpassed, even by the finest scenery of
Switzerland. On advancing, the rocky defiles became narrower, and the mountains
loomed far above us with their veil of mist
and snow. The thunder muttered angrily
through the gorges, and the lightning flashed
with a faint flickering glare. The wind had
risen, and blew in little fitful gusts up the
canon. We could see below us a roaring,
tumbling mountain torrent, swelling every
moment and tossing high its crest of whitish
foam. From our wild eyrie the grand forest
trees seemed like shrubs, and the houses in
the valley like mere toy:--. Knowing there
was danger, we were becoming rather excited, when all of u sudden we came to a
halt. There had been a landslide ahead
which had covered the track. And now
what was to be done? Night was rapidly
coining on, and we needed a little army of
workmen to clear it off, and we had neither
these nor the necessary implements. Quick
as thought, in the driving rain they place a
battery on a rock near by, and throwing n
wire over the telegraph a connection was
made, and we soon had as many men as desired from the next station. They petformed
tbeir wurk, and we soon parsed on. Now

came the terrible trestle-work bridge at the
Devil's Gate. It is builtovera rushing mountain stream, which threatens every moment
to engulf it. And here the scene baffles description—that great sweeping river and the
beetling, awful cliffs of the Devil's Gate ! It
is a picture of sublimity and grandeur that
each one must see (or himself, for no pen or
even painter's brush can adequately portray
it. We drew one long breath of relief when
safely over. It was a beautiful twilight as
we enlered the circular valley of Weber
Canon. The snow-robed mountains formed
a grand amphitheatre, enclosing far-spread-
ing fertile fields.
The most perfect silence
and peace prevailed, forming a pleasant contrast to the noise and din of the last ravine.
From one valley we passed to another, in
rapid succession, through long rock-hewn
tunnels. One most singular formation in the
rock attracted our attention, called the Devil's
Slide. Two parallel veins of rock ran down
into a little ravine with a well smoothed bottom like a "trough." Passed the tent-built
city of Echo at dusk, and soon after entered
Echo Canon. Here is the famous Z, as it is
called. The grade being so steep —100 feet
to the mile—they were forced to wind around
in that manner. How the engine puffed and
panted and threw out great showers of brilliant sparks into the night! It seemed instinct with life. What a wonderful, wonderful power is that of steam !
As we neared Piedmont we heard of a
railroad accident a few miles ahead—the
cars had run off the track. This of course
detained us some hours. It was Sunday
morning, and at the hour when our friends
at home were in church, we too assembled
for prayer in our car. It was pleasant, in
the center ofthis great continent, to hear the
sweet familiar songs of home. Some rough,
hard-looking men seemed deeply moved.
Perhaps it was the first religious meeting
ever held on the great Pacific Railroad.
We soon passed safely on. Towards evening we entered a spur of the Rocky Mountains. The rocks were worn in various
forms—grand old rocky towers, castles and
cathedrals. We passed an emigrant encampment. The cattle were tethered near
by, and the long, low wagons stood out in
bold relief against the clear grey sky. There
was something very picturesque in their
bright costumes and in their roughly constructed tents. Great fires had just been
lighted for the night. The sun had gone
down, and only a rich crimson glow was leit
in the west that lighted up the party, and
made a picture of exquisite beauty. The
engine thundered by, and we soon left them
far behind.
We passed Fort Steele, where cavalry are

This is the highest point between San Francisco and New York. At night we saw the
light of a prairie fire. We were all charmed
with the country for many miles west of
Omaha. The green prairies were dotted
with thriving villages, and the trees were
budding forth in all their beauty. Omaha
is a city of 25,000 inhabitants. Crossed the
Missouri and took the cars at Council Bluffs.
We were whirled through the rich farming
lands and prairies of lowa, and on Wednesday afternoon caught the first glimpse of the
Mississippi at Dubuque, just seven days from
Sacramento.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
A most singular instance of this method
of collecting a debt occurred on the overland
route about the time the last spike was
driven. The principal incidents are graphically described in the following correspondence of the New York Sun, but having
passed over that region within one week
after the transaction occurred, and seen some
of the persons engaged in the affair, we think
we are not mistaken in asserting that the
amount obtained or pledged was not $12,000,
but $263,000 ! It was not all paid in greenbacks, but was secured by a draft on a banker
in Cheyenne. The laborers were men who
had worked hard all winter cutting nnd
drawing ties for the road. They were employed by a sub-contractor by the name of
McKensie, formerly in the employ of the
Hudson Bay Company. It was not only true
that Dr. Durant and his companions were
detained, but if a military force had been
sent to rescue them, teams were ready harnessed to have "spirited" them away to the
recesses of the mountains, where they would
have been kept as hostages until the money
was paid. These laborers demanding their
pay had pluced telegraphic operators on duty,
so that they knew just what messages were
sent and returned. It was not their intention to have injured Dr. Durant and his companions', unless they had showed force. If
they had done so, the consequence would undoubtedly have been serious. They were
duly organized, with all ihc system and determination of a California Vigilance Committee. The transaction occurred at a place
called Piedmont.
The delay in the ceremony of "laying the
stationed to guard against Indians. Steamed last rail" on the Pacific Railroad, as the
�1 II X KIMKMI. SEPTEMBER, I bti 9
76
readers of the Sun have already learned by
telegraph, arose from the involuntary detention of Dr. Durant by a party of unpaid laborers, who insisted on being paid before he
should proceed. The scare although ludicrous
in some respects, also touched upon the dangerous. The situation—a howling wilderness, with two or three hundred very determined and somewhat lawless men, generally
well armed, insisting that their just claims
should be fully answered by one mild-mannered gentleman, who hadn't it in his power
to make the payment at once—was certainly
ttot charming.
THE RAILROAD BARRICADED.
The train which bore Dr. Durant and
some other officials of the road, carried other
passengers and the mails. On arriving at
Piedmont station an obstruction was observed
a short distance from the station, consisting
of ties laid across the road, so as to form a
breast-high barricade, and a rail immovably
spiked across the track ; about this was a
small guard of laborers, while the main force
gathered about the train when it stopped at
the station, and took possession of the calaboose, expelling the engineer and fireman.
THE RAILWAY DIRECTORS IN A QUANDARY.
They next returned to the train, and their
leader gave the conductor permission to proceed, explaining that it was not their intention to delay the mails or incommode the
passengers. The barricade across the road
disappeared in a flash, and the spiked rail
was torn up ; the bell rang and the train
moved over the open waste towards the Pacific, leaving Dr. Durant and a few of the officers in the hands of the victors.
When all means of escape for the " Managing Director" had vanished, his elegant
prison was thrown open, and he was invited
to come forth and engage in a conference
with his captors relative to the conditions of
his release. The leader informed Dr. Durant that the men about him had earned
$12,000, which had not been paid them.
Unfortunately the character of the disbursing officers for promptness was not high
among them, and as they had already waited
long beyond pay day, they expected Dr. Durant to "come down " without delay.
THK SMARTEST HORN OF THE DILEMMA.
Dr. Durant endeavored to converse with
the workmen in a pleasant vein, assuring
them that it would be "all right."
The leader replied that he had no doubt
that everything was and would be just as
lovely as the Managing Director had represented, " but we want our money, and you
shall not leave until we get it."
Again Dr. Durant, with his bland countenance made up in the most fascinating
wreaths of smiles, applied the " soft sawder,"
all of which, was duly appreciated by the
civil spokesman of the party, but elicited in
the end the determined response, " We want
our money."
In vain Dr. Durant represented that he
had no money with him, that if they wished
him to pay them they should permit him to
proceed to a point where he could obtain the
money. They were inexorable. He could
pay it out of his waistcoat pocket without inconvenience, or at least he could telegraph
for it; or in any event, they must have it
before he could go, wherever it came from.

The Cleansing Blood.
A visitor among the poor was one day
climbing the broken staircase which led to a
garret in one of the worst parts of London,
when his attention was arrested by a man of
peculiarly ferocious and repulsive countenance, who stood upon the landing-place
leaning with folded arms against the wall.
There was something about the man's appearance which made the visitor shudder,
and his first impulse was to go back. He
made an effort, however, to get into conversation with him, and told him that he came
there with the desire to do him good, and to
see him happy, and that the book he had in
his hand contained the secret of all happiness. The ruffian shook him off as if he had
been a viper, and bade him begone with his
nonsense, or he would kick him down stairs.
While the visitor was endeavoring with gentleness and patience to argue the point with
him, he was startled by hearing a feeble
voice, which appeared to come from behind
one of the broken doors which opened upon
the landing, saying, " Does your book tell of
the blood which cleanseth from all sin ?"
For the moment the visitor was too much
absorbed in the case of the hardened sinner
before him to answer the inquiry, and it was
repeated in earnest and thrilling tones:
oh, tell me does your book tell of

tered the room. It was a wretched place,
wholly destitute of furniture, except a threelegged stool and a bundle of straw in a corner, upon which were stretched the wasted
limbs of an aged woman. When the visitor
entered, she raised herself upon one elbow,
fixed her eyes eagerly upon him and repeated
her former questions, " Does your book tell
of the blood which cleanseth from all sin ? "
He sat down upon the stool beside her, and
inquired, "My poor friend, what do you
want to know of the blood which cleanseth
from all sin ? " There was something fear-

the crew. " Then cut i,, cut it! D'ye hear ?
Never mind the hawser. Cut it before she
loses her way." By this time there was a
taut strain on the hawser; a seaman drew
his sheath knife across the strands, which
soon parted, the brig forced ahead, the sails
were run up and trimmed to the breeze, and
the Billow filled away.

us the thought of a lifetime's iniquity seemed
to cross her soul. " But once," she continued, " once, years ago, I came by the door
of a church, and 1 went in—l don't know

word I heard there I have never forgot. It
was something about blood which cleanseth
from all sin. Oh, if I could hear of it now !
Tell me, tell me if there is anything about
that blood in your book?" The visitor
answered by reading the first chapter of the
first epistle of St. John. The poor creature
seemed to devour the words, and when he
paused, she exclaimed, " Read more, read
more." He read the second chapter —a slight
noise made him look round ; the savage ruffian had followed him into his mother's room,
and though his face was partly turned away,
the visitor could perceive tears rolling down
his cheeks. The visitorread the third, fourth
and fifth chapters before he could get the
poor listener to consent that he should stop,
and then she would not let him go till he
promised to come again the next day. He
never from that time missed a day reading
to her until she died, six weeks afterward ;
and very blessed was it to see how, almost
from the first, she seemed to find peace by
believing in Jesus. Every day the son followed the visitor into his mother's room and
listened in silence, but not indifference. On
the day of her funeral he beckoned him to
one side as they were filling up her grave,
and said : " Sir, I have been thinking there
is nothing I should so much like as to spend
the rest of my life in telling others of the
blood which cleanseth from all sin."
Thus the great truth of free pardon through
the blood of Christ sinks into the soul and
saves it. Thus grasped when all else is
gone, it has power to sustain the drowning
spirit, and lift it up above the floods that are
going over it. Thus it breaks the heart of a
stone, which nothing else could touch, and
turns the abandoned persecutor into the zealous teacher of Christianity.— Ch. Union.

The Coast-line or Hawaii.—Later information
from parties who have visited the southeast part of
Hawaii tends to confirm the statement, made soon
after the nwthquakes of 186&, that a portion of the
coast had subsided from its former level. An impression that seemed for a while to prevail abroad,
that the whole solid island had more or leas settled
down into the sea, seems to have been entirely incorrect But at Keauhon, Puna, and perhaps as fludown as Waiohinu, Kau, there are reliable data for
supposing that the coast level has changed. Places
along the beach at the first mentioned place, formerly
exposed and even used as building sites, are entirely
under water. The depth of the water at the anchorage is perceptibly greater. Rocks, on the rocky
points of land are visibly lower down at the water's

Mud Fish of
Ceylon.
The mode of fishing practiced at Moottoo
Raja-welle and other similar swamps is very
peculiar, and, as 1 have never heard it described, I conclude it is known to but few.
The swamp of Mootloo'Raja-welle is of very
considerable extent, not less, 1 should say,
judging by the eye, than three miles wide
and ten miles long. Its whole surface is perfectly level, except where the natives have
raised embankments for the purpose of regulating the supply of water to their paddy
crops, or for fencing their fields. It is covered with long grassland a strong, coarse sod.
This is strong enough to bear the weight of
the natives, who traverse its surface without
any difficulty, and, what is still more singular, cattle are turned out to graze upon it;
but I suppose their acquaintance with it enables thetn to keep on the firmer parts of the
surface. Beneath this sod is a layer of mud
of about the consistency of thick pea-soup,
and beneath that, at a depth of eighteen
inches or two feet, is soft bog stuff—turf, in
fact. The whole swamp is what in Ireland
would be called a " shaking bog," as, by
throwing one's weight suddenly on the heels,
the whole surface is made to tremble visibly
over a circle of eight or ten feet in diameter.
In this mud is the natural habitation of the
fish, some of whose peculiarities 1 have described, and they are so abundant in it that
I do not believe that in the whole surface of
the swamp, which is certainly not less than
thirty square miles, there is a single spot of
fifty yards square in which a man could not
catch more than enough fish to supply him
with good and wholesome food for a day ;
but no European would ever suspect that so
extensive a fishery existed beneath a place on
which cattle are seen grazing and men cutting grass in every direction. The mode of
fishing is no less peculiar than the fishingground. When a man wishes to vary the
diet of bis family with a dish of fresh fish, he
goes out by himself at night when the air is
still, and walks about the swamp, listening
for the peculiar sounds which the fish make
when they thrust their heads up through interstices in the sod in order to breathe.
When the fisherman has arrived at a spot
where those sounds are sufficiently numerous
to hold out a prospect of a reward for his
labor, he removes the sod from four or five
small circular patches, each about three feet
in diameter, and all within a few feet of each
other. He then returns home and comes
back on the following day, bringing with him
a basket to carry away the fish that he
catches,, but unprovided with either rod, line,
hook or net. Fisherman's Magazine.

Christ's Attractiveness.
The character of Christ is attractive. The
more closely we study it, the more its beautiful qualities stand out in full relief before
us. His divine greatness appears in this
fact. A sublime work of God in nature
grows upon us as we continue to contemplate it. Those who visit Niagara are at
first almost always disappointed. But as
they begin to take in nil the features of the
wondrous scene, its grandeur impresses them
more strongly, and when they have filled
their minds with the sublimities of the
mighty river in its awful plunge, they are

disappointed only in the consciousness of
being utterly unable to express the emotions
which crowd upon them. In a way like this
the character of Christ uffects us the more
carefully we examine it. His is a perfect
humanity in which a wonderful purity, gentleness and feminine delicacy are combined
with great firmness and manly dignity. He
had a womanly tenderness, but no weakness
which in a man would be unbecoming. We
find that he never shrank from contact with
a manly world, and whenever he went
among the busy crowds he was a man among
them, commanding their attention at once,
never suffering from their contempt, however much he may have been exposed to
their wicked enmity. He went, for instance,
into the temple among the greedy moneychangers, and they quailed before his indignation. It is hard for a good man to command the respect of a villainous crowd.
Christ did.
Christ's attraction is not a mere rhetorical
figment; it is a fact. The love of Christ
impresses people. He makes sick beds
easier, binds up the wounds of hearts distressed by sorrow, and soothes those who
have laid dear hopes away in the tomb. His
cross asserts its real and permanent value, in
all the great crises of our busy lives as well
as in the common duties of ordinary days.
All the sweetness that there can be in a good
soul are in him. As winds from spice islands
blow over deserts, burnt upand fever stricken,
so the love of Christ, wafted from his cross,
bears a saving fragrance to a wretched, dying
world.
We should aim to feel, as deeply as we
may, these attractions of the once shameful,
but now glorious cross. Jesus must be to us
not a faded name of history, a dead fact of
the past, but a living God strong to redeem.

Mr. and Mrs. Craddock—tho two American■ to
whom we have referred—remained in the river
nearly half-an-hour, and showed very little exertion beyond what was required in using little
india-rubber paddles which lorui part of the apparatus. The experiment was conducted under
considerable difficulty, Mr. and Mrs. Craddock
being prevented from moving in the water hy the
clustering of the boats, whose occupants were
deaf to earnest protestation. They both opened
the buoy-shaped case, helped themselves to sonio
of the contents, lircd a revolver, and exhibited
lights, and a red flag bearing the word " Kureka."
The time occupied in donning the dress is three
minutes and a half. Captain Stonor hopes to
provide all passenger ships with these extraordinary dresses, being ready to lend them for 1/.
each for every vovagc, and to provide each ship
with a man capable of cxplaining'thcir utility.

A new Life Saving Apparatus.—Extraordinary arrived at this port
Experiments.
That part of the Thames immediately
of Crciuomc-gnrdens was the scene of an exciting
spectacle recently. What is said to bo a wonderful triumph of American invention was exhibited
in tho presence of several thousand persons, who
lined the river from Battem-a-bridgo up to C'rcmorno-gnidcns, and plied little craft of ivory
conceivable shape while the experiment, which
was the cause of the gathering, was being made.
The apparatus, which was first brought under
the noticeof tho English public on this MOMta,
is intended lor the rescue of shipwrecked ]km-m>us.
The inventor, we aro told, is Captain J. 15.
Stonor, of New York, a gentleman of independent fortune, who served throughout the great
civil war, and his object, it is said, is not to
make money, but to perform a truly philanthropic work. Two Americans—a gentleman
and his wife—have been oouimirmionod to explain
the nature of the apparatus; and the way in
which they arc obliged to do bo is certainly novel
and interesting. They lirst slip their ariiiH
through cork jackets, and then insert their persons in a loose india-rubber overcoat, which
covers tho whole of tho body, except the hands
and face, around which it is tightly Mccuicd.
India-rubber weights are then attached to the

Madrid, Muy 12, 18U9.
MEMORIALS OF AN AUTO DA FE.
This day, 189 years ago, a notable auto
in the Plaza Mayor of
Madrid. The anniversary has been kept by
an open-air meeting on the site of the undent Quemudero, or burning-place of the
inquisition. This site has long been known
as a broad mound, of an acre or two's extent,
immediately outside the gate of San Bernardo. The construction of a new road has
rendered it necessary to cut through this
mound ; and, by a singular coincidence, on
the very days when, after three centuries of
intolerance, the assembled Cortes of Spain
were discussing and legislating on religious
liberty, the cutting for the new road was laying open to view one of the most extraordinary and impressive sights the eye could
nst upon. Precisely as in other parts we see
ideologic strata of marl or gntvel, or the
osseous remains of a bygone uge, so in this
broad section are laid bare, alternating with
sand and earth, a series of black bands of
ashes, thickly bedded with human bones.
Thus the cruel intolerance of man is written
in the very earth—"the stone cries out of
the wall " against the wickedness of a tyrant
priestly domination. Instruments of torture
have also been exhumed ; amongst them an
iron collar, of which one orator in the Cortes,
pleading for liberty of conscience, said its
iron was softer, possessed more bowels of
compassion, than the hearts of those who
used it—" the infamous executioners of an
infamous theocracy." Many, if not most,
who were present at the manifestation of today carried off some bone or bones. I have
half a dozen on the table before me as I write,
to animate my zeal. Men have so long held
their peace, it seems God would make the
very stones cry out in protest against intolerance. Suffice it, the Cortes have voted religious toleration much as we have it in England, with a State Church preserved as the
law of the land. And to-day, in view of the
black seams of martyr soil, while " Young
Spain," in the speeches made at the meeting, was making infidel attacks against the
Romish hierarchy, and against religion in
was
every phase, our good brother L
vending, as fast as hands could supply, the
Divine Word for the healing of the nations.
He took nearly .£4, great part in half-pence,
the price of the separate Gospels, whilst our
young men distributed many thousand tracts
among the assembled crowds. This latter
success has encouraged us in view of the
great annual fair, which begins this week,
which is to Madrid as Greenwich Fair to
London. In it we have taken a tent, and
shall have in operation also our movable
stand—a kind of Bible-cart we have had
constructed, of which to-day's good service
at the Quemadero was the inauguration.
dafe was celebrated
THE GOSPEL IN MADRID.
My two months' absence
at Seville enables me well to judge of the progress of the
evangelistic efforts in Madrid on my return.
I find a marked advance, for which I feel
deeply thankful to Him who giveth the increase. The public services on Sunday are
crowded by an audience in great part of regular attendants, as many as a thousand persons frequently forcing themselves into the
ii{ 11; M).
gitpli;>i |{ i: j{.
church. The Thursday morning service,designed for ladies and others who wish to
avoid the crowd, is attended by some .lOO,
and seems to engage increasing interest. The
Lord's Supper, which was administered on
Easter Sunday for the first time to fifty-two
persons, is likely on Whit Sunday, for which
it is again announced, to be attended by near
150, judging by the number of persons who
have already seen the pastors with a view to
taking part in the communion.
I will pass by in this letter, however, the
ordinary topics of which in former letters I
have written much, only saying that the liberality of the American Bible and Tract Societies is giving a new impulse to the important branches embraced by these agencies.
That of the former is of especial value, as the
Christian laborers in the Spanish field are
still fettered in respect of the supply of the
Scriptures.—Evangelical Christendom.

Chinese.
This good work among the Chinese portion of our community is both intcresiing
and encouraging. Since the latter part of
May, Sabbath evening services have been
regularly held in the Bethel, Mr. Aheong
having htid on every occasion an attentive
congregation, varying from about sixty to one
hundred in number. On account of many
of his hearers coming from various parts of
China, he has always preached in two different dialects, so that all might comprehend.
" The truth as it is in Jesus," has been plainly
set before them. To accommodate all present, Mr. Aheong presents his text in three
different languages—English, Hawaiian anil
Chinese. In connection with the Sabbath
service, a Tuesday evening prayer meeting
has been held in the Bethel Vestry ; average
attendance about eighteen. Several have
taken part in speaking and praying, and it
is encouraging to know that light seems
dawning on several minds. One has declared his desire " to be one of God's people." At a late prayer meeting, one present
arose and addressed his countrymen on the
benefits they were receiving, and the need of
giving something towards helping the Hawaiian Missionary Board. Accordingly, at
the following Sabbath evening service many
came forward voluntarily and cheerfully gave
for the cause, $ 12 70 having been presented
from willing hearts.
Two evening free schools for Chinese arc
in progress in Honolulu. Several of the
scholars manifest an eager desire to learn to
read the English language, and arc doing
uncommonly well. A very intelligent young
man entered one evening as a new scholar,
wholly unacquainted with the alphabet, and
in a little more than half nn hour he had
learnt it completely.
The efforts put forth (o instruct them are
much appreciated by the scholars. One Saturday evening a few weeks ago, two of the
pupils attending the school in the Bethel
Vestry appeared at the teacher's cottage with
a large basket well stocked vvith cakes and
fruit, wishing to express in more than words
their gratitude for having a school to attend
during their few leisure hours.
The school is opened and closed with
prayer. On one occasion the teacher was
called away on urgent business, and left the
exercises of the evening to be conducted by
a
friend, who was about to commence with-
out prayer, when one of the scholars earn-
estly said, " you peach," " you peach "—
meaning " you pray," which accordingly was
done. This little incident shows that one
heart there realized the propriety of looking
above for help. The means used for the
moral and spiritual improvement of the Chinese among us will, we trust, be blessed of
God. " Despise not the day of small things,"
echoes from the Sacred volume. The little
pebble dropped on the bosom of the ocean
sends out an influence, extending all around.
So the little pebbles of truth, falling on cars
and hearts unused to such, will doubtless exert a goodly influence, further than ever we
can see. This confidence is strengthened by
the words of Him who has said, "For as the
rain cometh down and the snow from heaven,
and rcturnetli not thither, but watereth the
earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, lhat
it may give seed to the sower, and bread to
the eater; so shall my word be that goeth
forth out of my mouth, it shall not return
unto mc void, but it shall accomplish that
which I please, and it shall prosper in the
thing whereto I sent it."

TIIF. LAND OF THE DAKOTAHS.
The State of .Minnesota embraces the territory formerly held by the far famed Dakotahs. It is difficult to realize the fact that at
so recent a date th.c Indians roamed over
these regions now inhabited by an industrious, busy, thriving and prosperous population of five hundred thousand. Less than a
quarter of a century ago there was scarcely
a thousand white inhabitants, where now
there are more than half a million. The
Territory ol Minnesota was not organized
until 1849, and the State Government not
until 1857. Since that time there has been
a growth and increase almost unexampled in
history. Towns and cities have sprung up,
indicating not a mushroom existence, but exhibiting the elements of perpetuity and
wealth. Railroads are pushing their way in
every direction, and are conveying to distant
markets the products of the soil. As we pass
through the country, stoam up the rivers,
visit the cities and towns, all is life and activity. Cargoes of labor-saving agricultural
machines—mowers and reapers, thrashers
and plows—are continually passing up the
Mississippi and being landed at the various
towns upon its banks.
St. Paul, the capital of the State, is a
thriving and growing city of great activity,
and hor citizens are engaged in a profitable
inland wholesale jobbing trade. The city is
adorned with many beautiful private residences, and several handsome churches are
going up.
Minneapolis and St. Anthony are situated
on opposite sides of the Mississippi River, at
the head of navigation. At this point are
the falls of St. Anthony of historic celebrity.
Already the vast water-power has been made
subservient to the interests of manufactures,

centre of great importance. Here ure also come from Scandinavia!
saw-mills converting the forests of the Upper
Mississippi into lumber, while flour-mills arc
grinding wheat with astonishing rapidity.
We passed one mill with capacity for grinding 300 barrels of flour in a single day.
Notwithstanding the vast water-power at
command, still steam-power is the competitor
of water power. From the chamber where
we are now writing, we can hear the steamwhistle of an immensesaw-mill. With these
resources for the acquisition of wealth so apparent on every side, it is gratifying to witness the desire of the people to adorn this
admirable site for a city with beautiful private residences, handsome stores and churches
of great architectural beauty. The Methodists of Minneapolis have just finished their
Centenary church, costing $40,000. It is
built of stone, and is a most substantial
structure. There are in Minneapolis fifteen
churches of various denominations—two
Presbyterian, two Congregational, two Episcopal, one Baptist, one Universalist, one belonging to the Society of Friends, besides
several others. As a people, the inhabitants
of Minneapolis are a church-going people.
They are fully alive to the interests of education. They take much pride in their costly
and handsome public school edifices.
Twenty-one years ago (1848) the Bey.
Albert Barnes, of Philadelphia, visited on a
summer excursion the falls of St. Anthory,
and stood where we now stand. His rejections were as follows : " I visited the falls of
St. Anthony. I know not how other men
feel when standing there, nor how men will
feel a century hence when standing there—
then not in the West, but almost in the centre of the great nation. But when I stood
there, I had views of the greatness of my
country such as 1 have never had in the
crowded capitals and the smiling villages of
the East. How strange is the appearance of
all that land! You ascend the Mississippi
midst scenery unsurpassed in beauty.
You look out for the house and the barn ;
for flocks and herds; for men and women
and children ; but they are not there. A race
that is gone seems to have cultivated those
fields, and then to have silently disappeared—
leaving them for the first man that should
come from the older parts of our country or
from foreign lands to take possession of
them. It is only by a process of reflection
that you are convinced that it is not so."
What lay spread out in an imaginary picture before the mind of Mr. Barnes, it is our
privilege now to witness as fully realized.
We now look out upon the flocks and herds,
the men and women and children ; they are
now here. They have come from tho East,

The Swede and
the Norwegian are crowding the steamboats
antl railway curs, pressing their way into the
interior. All the inhabitants of Northern
Europe appear to have become practically
impressed with the idea that " Uncle Sam is
rich enough to give them all a farm." They
are now coming forward to take possession
of the valuable gift. The United States
Government sells land for $1 25 per acre ;
and if the immigrant will go upon unoccupied and unprcempted lands, and will cultivate the soil for five years, then Uncle Sam
will actually give the settler a farm, " without money and without price."
While the tourist finds much to interest
in witnessing the onward march of commerce
and civilization, yet there is also much to remind him of former times and the ancient
inhabitants of the soil. The aborigines have
left their names upon the towns and villages.
Winona, Mendota, and a thousand other Indian names, arc still retained. Occasionally
too a veritable Indian may still be seen,
the land of the Dakotahs.
" InWhere
the falls of Minnehaha
Flash and gleam among the oak trees,
Laugh and leap into the valley."
No one visits this part of the Continent
without going to view the falls, beautiful by
nature, but rendered famous by the poet's
pen. The visitor is prepared to look around
for some trace of the Indians. A youthful
member of our party expressed a desire to
see the smoke curling up from an Indian's
wigwam, but how sadly was our party disappointed, for instead of the wigwam inhabited
by " the ancient arrow maker," whom Longfellow fancied occupied his time in making

is in this busy, matter-of-fact age, a railroad has been laid along only a few feet
above the far-famed falls of Minnehaha. The
falls are there in all their beauty and loveliness, and we hope they may ever remain to
delight the eye of the visitor, but we fear
some shrewd Yankee will cast his eye upon
the spot, with reference to the building of a
cotton factory or a machine shop. Report
however says that the falls are upon a Government reservation belonging to Fort Snelling. They arc not more than a mile from
the fort. In general appearance they resemble the Rainbow Falls at Hilo, although only
about one-half as high. The entire fall of
water would not exceed sixty feet, and if we
mistake not, the Rainbow Falls at Hilo exceed one hundred. At Minnehaha Falls we
were privileged with a rainbow. In turning
over a history of Minnesota, we notice that
the meaning of the word minnehnha is not
waters," but merely
but we suppose Longfellow
was privileged to indulge in a little poetic
license. "All waterfalls, in the Dakotuh
tongue, are called ha-ha, never minneha-ha."
Neill's History of Minnesota.
On the day of our visit (June 2d) to the
falls of Minnehaha, we also improved the
opportunity of visiting Fort Snelling. No
military post in the whole valley of the Mississippi has become so historical or been associated with more interesting incident* than
this fort, situated at the confluence of the
Mississippi and Minnesota rivers. The fort
is located on a high bluff, at the exact point
where these two rivers mingle their waters.
The view from the fort commands a prospect
of both rivers, before and after they are joined.
The fort was established, or its foundations
were laid in September, 1820 (the very year
the American Mission was commenced at
the Hawaiian Islands.) From that year to
the present time, this has been a central
point in all military operations connected
with the Indians in this part of the territory
of the United States. It was a central point
for all travelers to visit and from which to
take their departure. Here too was organized the first Christian church in this part of
the American Continent. Missionaries of
the American, Presbyterian and Methodist
Boards often resorted hither. This church
was organized in 1535, when twenty-two
persons of various denominations sat down
around the table of their common Lord. On
that memorable occasion a young officer by
the name of Ogden publicly professed liis
faith in the atoning merits of a crucified Redeemer. Throughout his subsequent career
his character as a Christian man in the
United States army became conspicuous.
He died at a military post in Kansas only a
few years ago. Mrs. Snelling, the wife of
Colonel Snelling, (after whom the fort was
named,) is referred to in the history of the
fort and Minnesota as an eminently Christian
woman. Other ladies too, wives of United
States officers, were persons of excellent
Christian character.
In glancing over Miss H. E. Bishop's
Home," or " First Years in MinneFloral
«'
sota," we accidentally met with the following paragraphs relating to the grandmother
of our fellow-traveler, Mrs. William Hall, o
Honolulu :
" The first white woman who trod this
ground was Mrs. Clark, wife of the Commissary (United States army); the first to
endure the fatigues and enjoy the romance
of a voyage on the Upper Mississippi. The
water was so low that the men were obliged
frequently to wade in the river and draw the
boat through the mud, thus consuming six
weeks in the last 300 miles. (The distance
is now passed over by steamboats in one day
and a half.) It was December when they

�got into their winter quarters, and the fierce
winds which swept over the prairies obliged
them to keep mostly within doors. Once in
a violent storm the roof of their cabin was
partly removed, leaving no protection for the
inmates, antl the baby for shelter was plajced
itiuler tlie bed."
That infant child is now the accomplished
wife ol General Van Cleve of St. Anthony,
and mother of Mrs. Hall. It was our privilege to meet grandmother, mother and
daughter at St. Anthony. Mrs. Clark has
seen much of frontier life and experienced
many of its attendant hardships, but she is
still cheerful and happy, retaining all her
faculties with remarkable freshness, and has
the current

life.

since she lirst passed up the Mississippi, and

women are now where fifty years ago there

lIAKOTAII MISSION.
Dr. Williamson says : " It is very remarkable that more than 360 members of the Pilgrim Church have all been converted within
the last five years. About half a dozen had
been baptized in infancy, and these, and a
few others, perhaps, had made some progress
in learning to read but five years ago only
one of the whole number had ever partaken
of the Lord's Supper, and he had been for
some time suspended, and had never learned
to read. The others were wild heathen, and
none of them were received into the visible
church prior to the 3d of February, 1803.
The two pastors, and most of the ruling
elders, learned the alphabet in the prison at
Mankato, in the early months of that year,
and most of the other members have learned
to read since that time, (for a large majority
of them now read, and use their hymn-books
in public worship.)
" The harvest here has been gathered in
less than five years, but it was anions these
Indians that Messrs. Pond, Aiton and Hancock, and our brethren of the Swiss and
Methodist missions, had toiled for years.
They saw little or no fruit of their lahors,
which nevertheless accomplished much in
;
preparing the ground."
The foregoing paragraphs we copy from
the Christian World. Missionary operations
among the Dakotah Indians have been much
hindered by the terrible massacre of 1862.
The following paragraph relating to the theological opinions of the missionaries of the
American Board we copy from " Neill's History of Minnesota : "
" Calvinism is frequently represented by
those who do not embrace its tenets, as a
mure abstract system, only anxious to impress upon the race stem theological formulas ; but the journals of its missionaries

have also been printed in the Dakotah lanDAKOTA!! LANGUAGE.
We learn that great attention has been
paid to the study and arrangement of the
Dakotah language. A large dictionary of
the language has been published under the
authority of the Smithsonian Institute at
Washington nnd the Historical Society of
Minnesota. The missionaries of the American Board—including S. W. and G. H.
Pond, Dr. T. S. Williamson, the Rev. S. R.
Riggs, and others—have been engaged in
this work. Their labors commenced as early
as 1834, and have been continued, with partial interruptions, down to the present time.
They had so far mastered the language as
to publish an extensive dictionary in 1552.
This work was beautifully printed in quarto
form in the city of New York by the well
known publisher, G. P. Putnam. Before the
printing of the work was undertaken, the
manuscript was submitted to the examination of the highest linguistical talent of the
country. The late President of Harvard
University, C. C. Felton, gave it his sanction and approval. The final execution of
the work fell to the lot of the Rev. S. R.
Riggs, and in the preface, dated New York
city, 1852,he thus remarks : " The preparation of the Dakotah-English part of the die-,
tionary for the press, containing more than
(16,000) sixteen thousand words, occupied
all the time I could spare from my other
missionary employments for more than a
year. The labor bestowed on the EnglishDakotah part was performed partly by Mrs.
Riggs." This good woman has recently
died at Baliot, Michigan, and her death has
been noticed in a late number of the Missionary Htrald.
The execution of this important literary
work was only incidental to the missionary
enterprise, but it indicates what a vast amount
of labor has been accomplished by those devoting their lives to the spiritual welfare of
the Indians. Let no man say that such
labors are not useful. The world is not expected to appreciate the missionary's efforts
for the moral mid spiritual elevation of the
" poor Indian," but the preparation of this
dictionary is an Herculean literary undertaking. The language must be learned by
mingling among roaming and migratory
people. A grammar must be composed, and
sixteen thousand words caug/U up, written
down, defined, copied, re-copied, and finally
printed. Hoe opus, Hie labor. When the
Indian tribes of North America have passed
away, this dictionary, with Elliot's Bible,
will be looked upon with wonder and admiration by the literary amateurs and learned
philologists of Europe and America.

THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBSTITUTION ILLUSTRATED.
Formerly Indians of various tribes resorted
Fort Snelling to receive their annuities
and negotiate with officer) of the United
States Government. In the early history of
these transactions we find one incident recorded, worthy of being kept in perpetual remembrance, equally with that recorded in
ancient history, wherein a certain king was
willing to suffer the loss of one eye when it
would save an eye of his son, who had been
condemned to lose both eyes for his crimes.
The fact to which we refer was this : A
party of the Sissetoan Dakotahs, near Council Bluffs, in Missouri, had killed two United
States soldiers. The United Slates authorities notified the tribe that they would have
no intercourse with them until the murderers
were given up. Deprived of blankets, powder and shot, the tribe held a council at Big
Stone Lake, and the case was laid before the
tribe by a man by the name of Colin Campbell. So strong an appeal wns made to these
Red Men of the forest, that one Mahyah
Khotah and another Indian came forward
and acknowledged themselves as the murderers, and expressed their willingness to deliver themselves up to be punished by the
United States Government. At this solemn
moment the aged father of the latter voluntarily stepped forth and offered to go and
suffer punishment in his son's place. The
substitute was accepted on the part of the
tribe, in council assembled. On the following day Mahyah Khotah and the old man
bade adieu to their home and started for
Fort Snelling. "On the 12th of November,
1820," says the historian Neill, " when about
a mile distant, the party halted, smoked, and
the death dirge was chanted. Blackening
their faces, and gashing their arms, as a
token of grief, they formed a procession, nnd
inarched to the centre of the soldiers' parade
c-round. First came n Sissetoan, bearing
the British flag, and then one of the murderers and the aged chief, who had become an
atonement for his only son. Their arms
were secured by ropes of Buffalo hair, and
large splinters of oak *were thrust through
their flesh above the elbows to indicate their
contempt of death. As they approached
singing dcatli-songs, a company of soldiers
was drawn up, and Colonel Snelling came
out to meet them. A fire was then kindled
and the British flag was burned, after which
the medal of the murderer was given up, and
then both surrendered themselves. The old
chief was detained as hostage nnd the murderer sent to St. Louis for trial."
The result of the whole affair was that the
murderer was sent to St. Louis, and no witto

There may lie some modifications of the
course of study peculiarly adapted to the one
sex which are not suited to the other. For
example, young ladies may not be required
to pursue mathematics and the ancient languages, unless they desire to do so, and so
there may be some brunches which young
ladies may pursue, which shall be left optional with young gentlemen; yet that the
members of both sexes will ultimately be
educated together we have no doubt. Why
should they not ? This subject will attract
more and more attention in connection with
that of female suffrage, We sincerely hope

The correction of anonymous writers
carry very much weight as against
official records of public assemblies. The
Scribe of the General Association doubtless
did all that was incumbent upon him when
cannot
reporting what was done, rather than what
was not done, in the vote on the report in
question. Are we to suppose, with the
writer of the following article, that there were
members of the Evangelical Association present who cared not to vote, and who suppress
their own names and still desire to have their
record as in the negative? This is a shuffling with which we should be unwilling to
credit any members of that worthy Association. The issues of the day among us arc
plain and manifest, and they require to be
squarely met.
EniTou of thi'. FitiENii:—ln the minutes
of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association,
printed in your paper for July, the following
remark is made about the report of a "Committee on the Annual Report:" " On motion, accepted —andafter discussion, adopted,
with one dissenting vote."
1 presume this is literally true of the vote
taken, and upon the greater part of the report there probably would have been no dissenting vote; bat there were some present
who dissented from the remarks of the report upon " education," and did not vote at
all; and some also who dissented were absent when the vote was taken.
This explanation is rendered necessary by
the publication of the names on the 10th
page, it being presumable that all there
named, with eat exception, indorsed the report, which is contrary to the fact, if taken
as avholc. It printed for the information of
the public, it should have been stated that
several, not agreeing in this part of thereport, present and absent, did not vote.
It is announced from Paris that the
Duke tie IVrsigiiy has written a letter In I\l.
Ollivier on the subject of further liberal reforms. He says that the empire ami freedom are not incompatible—a just, firm government can bear the existence of every liberty.

The
Russian
Nobleman and Bible.
In the year 1825, a rich young nobleman
, was suspected of havof Russia, Mr.
ing taken part in a conspiracy against the
life of the Emperor Nicholas. He was arrested and thrown into prison at St. Petersburg. Naturally of a quick and violent temper, the injustice done him aroused the deepest passions of his soul, and he spent that
first long December night swearing and
stamping on the ground, alternately cursing
the sovereign of his country who had ordered
his arrest, and the Sovereign of heaven who
had permitted it. Exhausted at last, he
threw himself on his bed of straw, and remained there for hours in mournful silence.
Thus eight wretched days .passed away.
On the evening of the ninth a venerable
clergyman came to pray with and for hini,
and to entreat him to accept the invitation
of the Saviour, who says, " Come unto me,
all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and 1
will give you rest.''— Mat. 11:26. The only
answer was a scornful laugh. On leaving,
however, the old man c;aveiiini a Bible, begging him to read it. But as soon as the door
was closed, Mr. W
kicked it into a corner, exclaiming, " I want nothing to do with
the word of a God who permits injustice;"
and there the sacred book was left for days
unnoticed. But time hung heavily ; hours
seemed days and days months. To relieve
his utter weariness, lie took up the Bible and
opened it. The first verse that caught his
eye impressed him deeply : " Call upon me
in the day of trouble I will deliver thee, and
thou shaft glorify me."—I'sa. 50:15. Hut
he shut the book immediately, as if ashamed
to have been affected by reading anything in
a Bible. The next day he opened it again,
:
chapters, sometimes even lenrning them by
heart, and at last became so much interested
that he often waited impatiently for daylight,
to read and study his Bible.
It was not long before he began to know
something of the state of his own heart, and
to see that, like every human heart, it was
wicked."—Jcr. 17:9. He began
"to desperately
feel that in the sight of God he was a sinner, deserving eternal punishment. In his
distress, he fell upon his knees, crying out,
O Lord, save mc, or I perish. 0 Lord,
"wash
away my sins. Blot them out with the
precious blood of Christ. For Jesus' sake,
have mercy upon me, a miserable sinner."
His prayer was answered ; he felt thnt his
sins were pardoned; and now, instead of
complaining of the injustice of others, he was
mourning over his own sinfulness, and thinking of the love of Jesus. He asked to see
the old minister ; and the joy of the good
man may be imagined when, on entering tin;
cell, he found the once enraged prisoner sitting with a quiet, happy countenance, rejoicing in the hope that Christ hail now become
his Saviour and Friend. "At first," said
, "1 considered my imprisonment
Mr. W
a great misfortune; but now I see why I was
placed here, and I thank God for it. If 1 had
continued in my prosperity, I should perhaps
never have read this holy book which,by the
grace of God, has led mc to Jesus."
tranquilly
From that time Mr. W
awaited his trial, and soon the sentence of
death was pronounced upon him. He listened to the verdict with calmness, asking
only permission to write to his aunt and sis-
The request was granted, and he sent
them the following letter
" You have learned from the papers that
I am sentenced to be hung on the 15th of
next February. Do not weep, hut rejoice,
for by the grace of God 1 am not afraid to
die. I know whom 1 have believed.' The
ter.
:
'
best moment of a Christian's life is his last,
for then he is nearest heaven. Death to him
is only passing from a world of sin and suffering to heaven, where the redeemed of the
Lord will be hnppy for ever. There I will
wait for you, in that blessed land where there
will be no more prisons, no more sorrow, no
more sin. I wish I could see you once more
on this side of the grave but as I cannot, I
cheerfully submit. My tears are falling while
I write, yet 1 am happy and full of peace,
thinking of the blessedness promised to all
who believe in Christ. This happiness will
be mine already when these lines reach you.
May the Almighty God, whose presence 1
now enjoy so fully in my.cell, nnd who has
made me free in the midst of my chains,
comfort you and be with you both unto the
end."
The writer of this account was in Russia
at the time these events occurred, visiting
, aware
this aunt and sister; and Mr. W
of the fact, added these few words to her,
which may perhaps encourage those who are
trying to save souls, but do not always see
immediate results " My dear friend, you
remember when you were last at my aunt's
house you spoke to me more than once about
the salvation of my soul; but \ was young
and careless, and did not listen to you. But

most precious blood, and soon 1 expect to be

whom I love. Tell tjicm it matters little
when or how we die, whether on the gallows
or in n prison, in a garret or a pnlace; tho
all-important thing is, to be sure of heaven
by ' looking unto Jesus.' "
On the fatal day, the principal rooms in
\s aunt
the splendid mansion of Mr. W
were draped in mourning, nnd we were all
bowed down with grief; yet while we wept
wo prayed and praised God, and he comforted us.
When the faithful minister left him upon
the evening previous to the appointed day,
fell upon his knees, and in earnMr. W
est prayer committed his soul to Christ, ami
then for a few hours quietly slept. Before
the dawn of day he was aroused by voices in
the passage and steps evidently approaching
his cell. " They come early to take me to
the gallows," he thought, and though prepared to die, his heart beat faster. The door
of the cell was thrown back, and a tall, noble
form entered, which he instantly recognized
as that of the Emperor. A man had just
been arrested, charged with a share in the
conspiracy, and upon his person was found a
letter which said, " We have done all we
, but in vain; he decould to enroll W
clares he will remain true to his sovereign
until death." The paper was immediately
handed to Nicholas, and he had come himself to release him. "A few hours more,"
said the Emperor, " and 1 should have lost
in you one of my best ollicers. Forgive my
unconscious error, and accept from me, in
remembrance of this day, the rank of genheart.

I hope you may live to enjoy many happy

Mr. W
journeyed as rapidly as possifound
us all sitting in a room which was hung with
deep folds of crape. When he began to
speak, and tell us of the mercy of God to
him, tears of joy and thankfulness ran down
our cheeks. As he finished his account, he
added, " We have prayed to God in our distress, let us now bless him for his goodness ;
especially let us thank him for having given
ble to the
house of his aunt, where he
us his only begotten Son to be our Saviour,
our Intercessor, our near Friend and Comforter in trouble." And that prayer came
from full and grateful hearts.

From that time Mr. W
of a truly Christian man. His chief delight
was to visit the poor and distressed, nnd
bring them the consolation lie had himself
lountl in the gospel. He built near his castle a large hospital and home for the sick and
friendless, and went from bed to bed and
room to room, speaking to all of the love of
Christ. His Bible, just as he had used it in
his cell, was placed in a rich, case and kept
in his parlor, that it might remind him how
Cod had rescued him not only from prison,
but from eternal death.
The joy nnd peace which Mr. W
found in his cell is offered to us all, wherever
we are and whatever our circumstances; but
we can only obtain it as he did, by studying and obeying the word of God." " If you
have neglected the Bible, or turned from it
in scorn as he did at first, seriously determine to be so unwise no longer. Your destiny for time and eternity depends upon how
you treat this book. It olfers you " eternal

It wn" near the
of beautiful summer's day thut I took my hat to go abroad
and enjoy the benuties of the most lovely village in the Middle States. The pure air,
the declining sun, the rose and locust odors
that perfumed the gardens nnd streets, refreshed my spirits and delighted my heart,
after the toil and confinement of the day.
Going leisurely along, 1 approached a group
of boys, both large and small, in the middle
of the street, engaged in earnest conversation. Some Dade expressive gestures with
the hands; several were speaking at once;
others, all ears, were listening, or, all eyes,
were looking. Some were earnest, some
vexed, .some doubting. 1 cast my eyes over
their healthy, happy, bright, intelligent faces,
and thought how soon manhood would steal
over them, and they be called to stand where
their fathers stootl.
" Well, 1 think it's wrong ! " exclaimed
one.
" answered another, scornfully,

" Some !of the group
laughed at this bold
and reckless speech. I looked at the speaker,
a blue-eyed, light-haired hoy, whose slender
frame and agile motions were full of grace.
He did not look as though he could utter and
act upon a sentiment like that. And, as 1
walked on, with no other thought to interest
me, the words of the boy were resolved in
my mind. Wrong 1 don't care for that!"
How little he realizes the sail and dreadful

meaning of those words, thought

father's house. Quietly and beautifully it
stood beneath the shadow of tall trees. It
seemed as if the refinement and elegance
which education, piety and wealth threw
around its interior, with the rural beauty and
deep quiet which surrounded it, made this
home a sanctuary where his rash anil unholy
expression could find no favor, however it
might astonish or delight his play-fellows.
Many years have parsed since then. I
often think of those village boys, antl, often
as opportunity occurs, impure with deep interest what nook they fill in the great World's
theatre. And 1 now know that two of that
group have finished their earthly career, and
gone into eternity. The first who died was

A licautiful brig ol the United States navy
was steadily making her way over tho broad
Atlantic, on the last «i( the year (18412.)
With her white sails all unfurled, she bant
proudly to the breeze. Her tall masts, her
light spars, her linn rigging, hail outrode the
storms finely nnd gaily. She had finished
her mission to n distant land, and with fair
winds and clear skies, was rapidly Hearing

and faithfulness in the discharge of duty?
Were all rejoicing to return to parents, to
wives, and to little ones 'I No, within the
heart of that noble vessel rebellion was brewing, and dissatisfaction was heard in low
in titterings. A plot was formed ; sailor after
sailor was reduced from his allegiance, and
wus scaled with a fearful oath to conspire
against his fellows. In the deep midnight,
at a given signal, they wore to murder their
ollicers, and cast their dead bodies upon tho
waters. Masters of the brig, they were to
strike the (lug of their country, and hoist the
black colors of the pirate. Evurything was
ready ; the mutineers were on the eve of executing their daring purpose. God overruled tile (earful deed. The ringleaders were
secured and put in irons. The safety of the
vessel demanded immediate attention and
prompt action, —they were doomed to die!
to die soon,—to die quick. "One hour!"
besought an unfortunate youth. An hour
passed. All hands were called on deck ; officers were armed with cutlass and pistol,
the watch was prepared,—the signal given,—
the cannon rolled, —the bodies of three were
hanging on the yard-arm ! The brig was
safe.
The bold lender of that reckless band was
one of that group of playful boys. Were
not his career and death a terrible fulfillment
of his terrible words, " Wrong ! I don't care
for that! "

directors in tlsvtr next ■euorsJ leittr, advised him to return in
Honolulu, wlit re he could have the benetlU or the Queen'slioapilal. Dr. Gulick wont ut this lime as dklegate, aud was tho
bearer of this letter. In their general meeting-, themissionaries
approved of Kapohaku's r< turning with Dr. Gulick on board tit'
the Murnimj Star. Dr. Gulick In his report says
" This blind missionary ot yours If a rare man —not indeed
taught in your high schools, but of tie' .Spirit. I admire and
lam bim its rcfh-cling the image of llim, who, I hope, is also
my 1/ord and my God. His enthusiasm in his Master's (muse is
edifying and invigorating. When I told him Of the desire of
account of hi indue**,
the Hoard of Directors ttiat he iv.urn
be expressed a readiness to tin so, but with the wish to again he
a missionary, should Ins eyesight return."
While at the Queen's Hospital his sight was so much improved that h'< could walk the street! without a guide, and
could distinguish persons and oHjootS "ear at hnnd, but he whs
never able ngain to see so as to read and write. Aided snd
accompanied by MM of his friends, he made a tour of the Hawaiian Islands, interesting the people very much in his description of the character and condition of the i»or heathen.
While at Lihue, on Kauai, the people there, together with the
(lovernor of Lhat island, earnestly requested him to stop with
them and become their minister. He remained there for mo it:
than a .year, and then returned to Honolulu and labored as an
assistant preucher with Key. I*. Smith, his former pastor. KapohakuV preaching was so acceptable slid satisfactory to the
pastor, church aud congregation at Kaumaknpili, lhat in 18li»j,
when Key. I. Smith Imd leave of absence for a year to visit his
native bind, he cheerfully cmplicd with the request of the
church that Kupohaku be their preaclnr during his absence.
On the return of the pastor in June, 18GC. Kapohaku was requested to continue bts tabors, and alternate with the pastor in
preaching on the Snbhath, and to aid also in conducting meetings during the week.
1h April. IW7. the districts of Moanaluaand Kalihl were set
off and organised into at- independent church. A large majority of the church metril-ers in these two districts immediately
niade a call lo t, Kapohaku to become their ministerand pastor, offering him a salary of $150 a year. As a licensed preacher
he labored faithfully and succcsslully among Ihem till the day
of his death.
On three different occasions duihig his missionary and ministerial life, Paulo Kapohaku very narrowly escajied death. I.
When his house was set on fire at Heteani,he was asleep and
alone, and barely escaped the devourine Monies. 2. In August,
IS6B, when bis bouse wns fired at Kalilu, he was alone and
asleep, v, ith the BtW« and hymn-book by bis side, till the heat
of the flames awoke him. BeifiDf his Uihle and hymn-book,

of the Union, and only a few cloth covered
dwellings, and tents indicated that a city
was to be built. The tall forest trees and
dense underground were falling before the
axe. Vessels were moored to the trees, and
all was hurry and confusion. About the
spot where the new capitol now stands, with
its spacious wings and lofty dome, a crowd
of Americans just arrived from their long
voyage around Cape Horn or across the
Isthmus, assembled to celebrate the 4th, and
Dr. Gwin, subsequently a Senator, was the
orator of the day. There being no other
clergymen present upon the occasion, it fell
to our lot to invoke the divine blessing.
There was no public dinner, for Sacramento
had no hotel accommodation ! The novelty
of the occasion, the wildness of the scene,
the noble appearance of the tall forest trees,
and enthusiasm of those mingling together
on these remote shores, so far from the older
States of the Union, all combined to render
the occasion one of the most memorablo
"Fourths" that we have ever wknessed at
home or in foreign lands.
Nearly twenty years have* since passed
away, and most of that time has been spent
in a foreign land, and now, on the Bth of
May, we again find ourselves a visitor at
Sacramento. But how changed the prospect
from the window ofthe Capitol Hotel! Broad

who have toiled so long and faithfully, and
without whose invaluable and inilispensible
labors the "Inst spike" would not have been
driven for many long years to come. Mr.
E. 15. Crocker, one of the Directors ol the
Central Pacific Railroad, spoke as follows
"Fellow Citizens: It is so long since I
have been in the habit of public speaking
that I am quite out of practice, I do not intend to mala any speech, but will ask your
indulgence while I make one or two liriol
remarks. Fellow citizens, we have met to
celebrate the completion of one ol the greatest
works of the age [cheers], and in the miilsl
of our rejoicing at this event I wish to call to
mind that the early completion of this milroad we have built has been in n great
measure due to that poor, destitute class of
laborers called the Chinese—to the fidelity
and industry they have .shown—and the
great amount of laborers of this land that
have been employed upon the work.
"Fellow citizens, this Pacific Kailroad is
one of the greatest works the world has ever
seen—one of the grandest results of human
labor. [Loud cheers.| And that lalier
directed to a useful ami beneficial purpose.
[Cheers.] When we look back at the great
works of antiquity, the walls of Babylon, the
pyramids of Egypt, the great wall of China,
andother great works of the ages that are post,
we find what can lie accomplished by human
labor, when directed by pride nnd ambition,
but find little of it that has been of any benefit to mankind. Many have lieen totally
destroyed, and the latest work of antiquity
that has been preserved—the great pyramids
ol Egypt —answers no useful purpose ; but
tho great work we have just completed is a
benefit—not morcly for to-day, hut will bo
so for all time—not merely for ourselves, but
for our children and our children's children."
[Loud cheers.)
This passing tribute to the toiling and
patient Chinaman is justly due, and to have
had no allusion or reference to what he \\nr

done would have been a most llagrant injustice. We hold to honoring those to whom
honor is due, and we feel ashamed of those
calling themselves Americans who are not
willing to concede to the Chinese those
equal rights which they yield to other foreigners coming to America. Abetter day,
we hope, is dawning upon our world, anil the
construction oflong lines of railroads we think
eminently calculated to introduce that better
era. The memorable scenes of the Bth of
.May, as witnessed in Sacramento, we shall
long remember, especially as we came to the
coast for the very purpose of taking a trip
across the continent upon the railroad, the
completion of which bus made so deep an
impression upon the public mind. Hoping
in a day or tart) lo pass over this long line of
railroad, we shall endeavor at MM lut'ire
linn- to pen our "notes and reflections while
passing along" for the perusal of the readers
of the Friend.
A sAIMATII AT SACIIAMK.NTO.
Alter attending the grand railroad celebration it was our privilege to spend u quiet and
pleasant Sabbath at Sacramento. In the
morning we attended the First CongrogntinnaLChiirch where the Key. I. E. Dwinell,
D. D., officiate! as minister. His discourse
this morning was based upon that remarkable passage, Prepare ye the way of the
Lord ; make straight in the desert ;i highEvery valley shall be
way for our («od.
exalted, and every mountain and hill shall
In' made low, and the crooked shall be made
straight and lha rOUgh places plain." Unless
our memory is at fault, be also read another
passage as a part of bis text from the
prophet Nahum: "The chariots shall be
with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly
shaken. The chariots shall rage in the
streets ; they shall jostle one against
another in the broad way ; they shall seem
like torches, they shall run like lightning."
It required no very wayward flight of the
bearer's imagination to convert the prophet
N,.hum's chariots into Steam engines "with
llaming torches," raging through the streets,
and hurrying like lightning along the Central Pacific Kailroad and over the dizzy
era's, anil fearful chasms of the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The pastor improved the occasion for
directing the attention of his hearers to some
nl the higher aspects of the results which
would flow from the construction of rail
mads, and especially of the gnat Pacific
Kailroad. He rapidly sketched the history
of this groat undertaking, which had been
now so successfully carried forward to completion. When this was done, he most
easily and happily carried the mind of the
"
hearer forward to n more elevated plune of
thought, and led him to contemplate God's
providential plans in thereby elevating the
social and moral condition of the human
race. Most beautifully the preacher described the happy results which might be
expected to flow from encircling the globe
with a line of railroads and steamboat lines
of communication. No longer could the inhabitants of the globe be kept apart and
estranged from each other. These vast enterprises were unquestionably designed " to
prepare the way for the Lord." His closing
appeal on behalf of the Sabbath, and the
principles of sobriety and temperance, was
thrillingly interesting and impressive. Most
sincerely we hope this most admirable discourse will lie published and extensively circulated. The sentiments which it contained
are well calculated to do a vast amount of
good when disseminated among the people.
As a finished literary elfort this sermon possessed points of real excellence. There was
a rhythmical and graceful flow of language
which fell upon the ear in pleasing cadence
and rounded periods. It was never our privilege previously to listen to a discourse of the
Congregational pastor of Sacramento, but if
his other discourses are in this style of composition, thought and delivery, we are not
surprised that his services should have been
sought, for the professorship of the Pacific
Theological Seminary, or that his people
cried, "No," when they supposed he might
leave his pastorate lor another field of labor.
While Sacramento has always experienced
many ol the depressing moral influences
arising from its position as a mining center
of operations and travel, yet we were glad to
find that there were many earnest laborers
who were striving to do good among the
people, both resident and transient. There
exists in Sacramento a Young Men's Christian Association which keeps open a free
reading room and library, liesides furnishing
a room for weekly and monthly meetings for
prayer and religious conference.
The cause of temperance has many earnest
advocates among the Sacramentans. On
Sabbath afternoon, we attended a meeting of
the Band of Hope. This is an organization
among the children who have associated
and banded themselves together, solemnly
pledging each other that they will abstain
from t/te use of intoxicating liquors, the use of
tobacco and profanity. The meeting at
which we were present was numerously attended by both children and adults. Dr.
Haswell is President of the association, and
appears to ho very enthusiastic in the good
cause. The Band of Hope is organized under the direction of the order of Good Templars, about whom we have already written.
51
The young people, members of the Band of
Hope, honored the editor of the Frit?ul, by
electing him an honorary member. He was
not disposed to decline the honor inasmuch
as the rules did not require any great amount
of self-denial on his part. We hope there is
and tho use
" a great gulf" fixed between us
of intoxicating liquors, tobacco and profanity.

Thus ended a most

occupying a most advantageous position for
exerting a moral and political influence upon
this great nnd growing State of California.
VISIT TO THK MINT OK SAN FKANCISCO.
Just before leaving San Francisco wo visited the Mint. It is situated in the most
busy part of the city, and the accommodations arc narrow and contracted. It was interesting to examine the various processes
which the gold undergoes from the time it
enters in the forms it presents when dug
from the earth until it comes forth in bright
gold pieces. At the time of our visit there
was some stir among those connected with
the establishment in consequence of the removal of the late superintendent. We find
the subject thus discussed in a late number
of the JV. Y. Times. We republish it because these paragraphs contain some interesting statistics respecting the Mint of San
Francisco.
" The facts are these : Three thousand
miles from Washington, almost in another
country, a United States Mint has been for
some fifteen years coining the bullion intrusted to it by private citizens, under the
superintendence of an official—B. Swain.
Ks,|.—known and esteemed by all parties
for his integrity and ability. His Subordinates and employees have been equally valued
and trusted by the whole community of California for their honesty and fidelity. No
Kepublican or Democrat has ever breathed
a word of reproach ngainst the thorough integrity ami faithfulness of all these Mint
officials. Mr. Swain himself is a man of
fortune and high position outside of his official place. It will interest our readers to
know something t>( the honest work done by
these California office-holders. In the course
of each year some 830,00(1,000 worth ol
bullion are put into the hands of these men
for coining, being deposited by some twelve
thousand different persons, and requiring
sixty l/uiiisand separate assays.
So necessary is loss and wastage, that the
Covernmerit allows one-fifth of one per cent,
on the amount of bullion handled. Thif
�52
TII X HIILMI, JII LV
legal wastage in gold would bo in one year
19,810. That is the loss allowed to the
Superintendent. We need not say that,
under ft political Superintendent, appointed
suddenly by n successful party, this has boon
usually tho loss, whether through incomnotcneyordishonosty. Under the changes threatened, this amount will certainly go ' up the
chimneys,' as the saying is in Snn Francisco. Under Mr. Swain's management this
legal loss wns reduced in one year (I8(i<>) to
•
fcL'.P-'li; and in silver, owing to the silver
contained in gold, there was no loss, but a
gain of B.), 141, though the legal loss wus
»:i,290.
In the coiner's department the results are
equally remarkable.
During the year IKOO the legal loss allowed him was 844JM3j the real loss was
only $1,0(5:1. Taking gold and silver together in that year, 830,000.000 ofbullion
were manipulated in the San Francisco Mint,
and the legnl wastage was 8100,0:17, which
of course could have gone into the pockets
of the Superintendent and his subordinates,
nnd which '"ill undoubtedly do so with their
political successors.
The real loss to the Governmentwas only
five hundred and sixty-three dollars!
Wo hear much of California ' sharpers '
and rogues (and undoubtedly our California
fellow-citizens are tolerably wide awake), but
wo should like to know of any important
•fie* managed with half such integrity and
business efficiency as this.
General (Irani is said to have a leaning
toward honest men who do pablic work its
il it were their own. We commend to him
these simple facts in San Francisco.
This Mint, as is well known, is an important national institution. It was established in \SM, and has coined since then
over 1940,000,000, or half the amount coined by the Philadelphia Mint since 1T93. Il
had accommodations for coining $.',,000,0(10
|mt annum, hut so efficient has be*>n its manageuii ul that its work is from four to live
tiim\s that amount.
This well conducted business establishment, mnnngod by a Republican and an appoint** of Mr. Lincoln's, saving to the country nearly one hundred thousand dollars a
year, and, above all, showing the nation that
public business was capable of lieing conducted as honestly nnd thoroughly ns any
private business, one might have supposed
wns safe from being the prize of successful
partisans in an election campaign."
A BANKKR's COUNTIIY KKMHKNT.
While at Belmount, attending the Sabbath School Picnic, we improved the opportunity of visiting the new edifice built by
W. U. Knlston, Esq., tho Hanker nnd President ofthe California Bank. It is situated
slxtut a half mile from ihe depot, entirely
obscured from the view ol nil pulilic travel.
A road leading thither has been constructed
at great expense by the proprietor of tho rising palatial residence. The building is difficult to describe. Keport says that it will

to accommodate fifty guests.

Society- No tidings or information have
since been obtained in reference to the particular details of Ins departure, or of the manner or immediate cause of his denth, or of
any of bis effects recovered, or any personnl

Tht; whole history of tho event, so far ns
he mid his cninpnuinn, the Key. Hubert J.
Parvin, the Secretary of the Kvnngolicnl EdUCatiOfl Society, are concerned, is still on
entire mystery, of which this Committee can
give no account.
Mr. Kising was alaiut thirty-live years of

city, nnd in the College of the city of New

employed as a tutor, after his graduation,
with a high literary nnd moral character.
He was a member of the Sunday-school of
St. George's Church in this city.
In that church he was confirmed in the
spring of lH )iJ. He was ordained a Deacon
in 1880,and first employed in the ministry
as mi assistant to the Hector of St. George's
Church.

he was ordained a Presbyter.

but when the paternal uycs blink and grow

It wns a hrigltt September afternoon, Tom

unconsciously resigned himself into their
hands, that they might do whutever they
pleased with him. A grocer's large wheelbarrow was brought into requisition, and,
with his head drooping to one side, and his
legs dangling over tho-end of the uncomfortable vehicle, poor Tom rode to the door of
his father's house. Fnthcr was out, and the
friends lifted the poor lad up-stairs and laid
him out on a sofa, where he slept and snored
as only those who are Under the influence of
strong drink do sleep and snore.
The sleeping and the snoring go on for
a while, and pa comes bqjne. The room
where the favorite closet is, is the same to
which Tom has been carried, and is the first
room in the house which the old gentleman
visits. As he goes to unlock the closet, he
sees and hears ihe slumbering and snoring
Tom. Shall he be angry, or shall he pity
him? He hardly knows which. Never wns
so embarrassed in his life. His own son—
evidently drunk. Drunk by his father's example. No! stop a moment. " Was I
ever drunk? Did he ever sou me in this
condition? No, he didn't; (he young rascal ! lie ought to be thrashed. Needs a lesson now at the beginning, and perhaps he
will never do it again. 1 will thrash him,
big as he is. Here, Tom ! Wake up there,
sir! What's the meaning of this ? Give an
account of yourself, sir !"
Hut it is hard work to wake the poor boy
out of his drunken sleep. Let him sleep on,
old gentleman, and ho will give! you an account of himself when he wakes up. You
will take your little nip meantime, will
you ? And do you notice any diminution
in the amount of brandy in that bottle as you
take it out of the closet ? Not particularly.
You do not scrutinize very closely as you
quietly withdraw it from the closet and as
quietly put it back again.
Well, after a while the alcohol goes out
of the poor boy's hrain, and he begins to be
himself again. But it is slow and stupid
work. Poor fellow? It would be ridiculous,
were it not so sad.
Where am I, and what's the matter."

"D-d-d-runk? d-d-d-runk? d-d-did you—

" Out of my bottle I O God ! And is my
son drunk, for the first time, out of his own
father's bottle? 0 God! forgive him and
forgive me !"
And the old man rushed to the closet,
took his brandy-bottle and his gin-bottle, and
his wine-bottle, and dashed them down on
the slone floor of the fire-place, and said,
"God help me never to touch liquor again!
—and God help poor Tom !" And then he
put his arms around poor Tom's neck and
cried like a baby.
Poor old man I Tho fetters were upon

Work of a moment, nor was it the easy work
that tho dashing down of a few bottles, in a
moment of terrible remorse indicated. The
habit was one of too long standing to be rid
of so speedily. And after a few days the
craving for stimulus carried its poor siave to
the " Importer of Genuine Liquors," and the
key of the closet was again turned on a few
bottles of " genuine " poison for " private
consumption.
And poor Tom '.' His first drank was not
his last. A few tears of contrition ; a few
resolutions made in his own strength—
hroken in his own weakness; a few strivings
to do better, chilled by the reflection,

Have I no Father !
" I was once in an awful storm at sea ;
we were for many hours tossed about in sight
of dangerous rocks ; the steam engines would
work no longer; the wind raged violently,
and around were heard the terrific, roar of
the breakers, and the dash of the waves, as
they broke over the deck.
At this dreary and trying- time, while we
lay, as might be said, at the mercy of the
waves, I found great comfort and support
from an apparently trilling circumstance, it
was, that the captain's child, a little girl of
about twelve years old, was in the cabin with
us. He had come two or three times, in the
midst of his cares aud toils, to sec how his
child went on, and it is well known how
cheering is the sight of a captain in such a
time of danger. As our situation grew
worse., I saw the little girl rising on her
elbow and bending her eyes anxiously to the
door as if anxious for her father's reappearence. He came at last. He was a large,
bluff*, sailor-like man ; an immense coat,
an oil skin cap with flaps

floor beside the low berth of his child, and
stretched his arms over her, but did not
' No, father, I will not bo afraid if you take
me with yen. O! father let me he with
yon !' and she threw her rums around his
neck, and clung fast to him. The strong
man was overcome; he lifted bis child in his
arms, mid carried her away with him.
How much I felt her departure ! As long
as the captain's child was near, I fell her to
be sort of pledge for the return and cure of
the captain. I knew that in the moment of
greatest danger the father would run to his
child; 1 wns certain that were the vessel about to be abandoned in the midst of the
wild waves, I should know every movement,
for the captain would not desert his child.
Thus in the presence ofthat child I had comforted myself, and when she went, I felt
abandoned, and for the first time fearful 1

is true ; and faith is not as sight, mid nature

Reader, does it calm yours ?
Oh ! cries the trembling soul, the storm is

1,0th.
The Committee have attended each of the exercises
of this Examination. We have been much pleased,
and have observed marked progress and improvement.
The most noticable advance is in the increase, so desirable, of the amount of Natural Science taught in
the school. We were glad to note a greater clearness
and promptness in the scholars' replies. In this
there is still room for improvement.
The olasses in Greek and Latin showed their usual
thorough training by the accomplished President. A
class in Natural Philosophy and one in Astronomy
were deserving of especial notice fur the fulness and
accuracy of the knowledge shown hy the pupils.
In 'ieouietry and Surveying there WSJ good proficiency. We would remark the peculiar neatness of
the diagrams.
The examination as a whole gave clear evidence of
patient and skillful labor on the part of the teachers,
and creditable exertions on the part of the scholars.
Both have acquitted themselves well.
The Declamations and Orations on Thm-sday evening were, as a whole, of an unusually high order.
The music was artistic, and the singingshowed skillful training. It appears to the committer however,
that the songs selected should have embraced some
elevated or stirring sentiments, exhibiting music not
merely as a handmaid to the sense, but serving in
the higher ministrations of the spirit.

acknowledged.
Our expenditures for various objects have
been this year greatly enlarged, so that notwithstanding the receipts of the last few
weeks, which have been poured in upon us
so largely, we close our year with a much
smaller sum than we reported last June, it
is very necessary that we have a considerable sum in our Treasury at the closeof the
missionary year, as our receipts during the
few months following are usually, at that
season, very small, and our expenses necessarily very large, as it is then we dispatch the
Morning Star on her yearly voyage to Micro-
nesia.
In accordance with the suggestion of the
General Association made last year, the following table presents the contributions of
each church to our Treasury during the past
year. From this it appears that the average
contribution to our Board this year of each
church member, is not far from half a dollar.
And it should be remembered that this is
less than one third of the total contributions
of our churches to religious objects, as reported last year. It will be noticed thatthere
are a few churches among us, that have not
contributed any thing during the year to the
general work of the church. There are
doubtless local reasons for this, but it is a
matter of regret that any excuse should be
considered-valid for such n neglect. And it
is remarkable that some of the churches, in
apparently most untoward circumstances,
should have done so nobly for the cause of
missions. The Lord will bless those who
thus remember him and his work.
Those churches which have a star attached
to them, have sent in their contributions since
the close ot the Treasurer's books on the 15th
of May, nnd previous to May 29th, too late

The Theological School at Wailuku, has
been in progress now sixyears. There have
been four classes,as follows: In 1863, 13
pupils; 1865, 11 pupils; 1867, 19 new
pupils j and in 1868, 12 more. Four of
these have died, 13 have been ordained, and
12 have been licensed to preach. One of
those ordained, and one ofthe licensed, have
fallen. One licensed minister has gone to
Micronesia, and three others are accepted by
us as candidates for the foreign work.
These facts must be very encouraging to
all the patrons of this institution, and especially to Rev. W. P. Alexander, who has so
successfully helped supply the wants of our

We have during the year received from
tho American Bible Society a part of the
new and beautiful edition of the Hawaiian
Bible and Testament. The cost of the new
Bibles and Testaments received was $2,400
50 in American currency. The American
Bible Society very kindly allow our accounts
to stand open, we paying them the avails of
the Bibles when sold. We regret that so
large a portion of the first invoice were
bound expensively. Had the cheapest binding been used, tho whole invoice would probably, before this, have been disposed of. The
remainder of the edition is probably on its way
from PI. V., in the cheaper binding ; also a
small cheap new edition ofthe Testament and
Psalms, most kindly prepared by the American Bible Society, under Key. E. W. Clark's
supervision. On the arrival of these new
books, we shall endeavor to give them a
prompt and wide circulation, perhaps employing one or more colporteurs, as suggested
by the General Association of last year.
We have added two new question books
for the use of Sabbath schools ; No. 3 having been translated by Rev. E. Bond, and
No. 4by Key. W. P. Alexander. Another
question book is in the course of preparation
by Rev. O. H. Gulick.
The circulation of the Alaula has been
somewhat larger than during the year before, being about 2,800 copies; yet we could
desire that its circulation were still further
increased, as it might easily be.
We take greet satisfaction in announcing
that the commentary on Matthew by Rev. J.
F. Pogue, has been revised and is now all
but ready for the press ; and that the Bible
Text Book, translatedand arranged by Messrs.
B. W. Parker and L. Lyons, is also ready
for publication. The Rev. E. W. Clark reports the Bible Dictonary as more than two
thirds translated. We hope to be able to
make arrangements with the Tract Societies
of America, by which these invaluable works
will ere long be in the hands of our pastors
and students.
We hnve this year printed at these Islands
in six different languages 19 different publications—six in the Hawaiian langnage, two
in that of the Marquesas Islands, four for the
Gilbert islands, three for Marshall Islands,
one for Kusaie, and two for Ponape, making a
total of2,169,600 pages; besides which, we
have received 1,058,715 pages from the
presses of the American Bible Society.
There have been put into circulation on
these Islands 1,393, 397 pages of Hawaiian
publications in book form during the year,
besides what is equal to about 500,000 of
Alaula, and besides about 179,660 pages of
Chinese works. Our gratuitous circulation
of our own publications is as follows :

The Morning Star
*
The Morning Star performed her second
voyage to Micronesia in 1868, leaving Honolulu, June 26th, and returning December 16;
and on the 4th of March, 1869, she started
for the Marquesas Islands, returning again
to Honolulu on the 30th of April.
Attention should be drawn to the fact that
we cannot maintain a vessel of this kind,
without a large expenditure of money. We
have received from the American Board
since June last for the Morning Star $4,200.
She has earned the sum of $1,000 06 during
the year. The voyage to Micronesia, with
repair, cost $5,972 14, and the voyage this
spring to the Marquesas has cost $1,521 80,
making a total of $7,493 94, of which
$2,192 88 were from the contributions of
our own churches. And it is to be expected
that our expenditures for our vessel will increase rather than diminish as our missions
grow.

Tarawa and Apaiang were last summer in
a very agitated state from a civil war. Mr.
and Mrs. Bingham, and Mr. and Mrs. Mahoe,
suffered much from the savages, and escaped
narrowly with their lives during the ten
weeks while the Morning Star was gone to
the west. Yet there were 27 reported as
having been admitted to the church during
the year ending June, 1868. The receipts
from the sale of books and monthly concert,
though not large, are under the circumstances very gratifying, as will be seen by
the appended table.
Mr. and Mrs. Bingham have been diligently engaged during the last six months,
in superintending the printing of severalworks in Honolulu. It is questionable
whether their health will be sufficient to
make it advisable, that they visit the Gilbert
Islands again this year
At Butaritari, the work has made very
satisfactory progress. The young men are
greatly interested in learning to read. Several are spoken of by the Hawaiian missionaries as hopefully pious; and though not a
single person has been admitted to the
church, the monthly concert contributions in
oil amount to $41 75, and the avails of books
to $63 12. And this from the island from
which, three years ago, our missionaries fled
in fear of their lives!
The Marshall IslantN.
It is a very encouraging feature of the
work on Ebon, that a number of natives have
been selected as teachers of the day schools.
A part of the avails of their monthly concert, oil, will this year be devoted to thesupport of their own teachers, whom they propose to send out to other islands, it will be
seen in the accompanying table, that the
monthly collections and the avails for books
both from Ebon and Nawuvrik are very large.
They are bright examples to all our missions.
Mr. Snow is invited to visit the United
States of America, by the return of the Morning Star. Mr. H. Aea is much improved in
health, and will return in the Morning Star
to Ebon.

It appears from the following table that 60
were added to our foreign missionary
churches during the year last reported. The
total number now in good and regular standing is 610, which is a gain of 69 over last
year. The sum total received from them is
$689 07, which is an increase of $99 74
over the last year. We may well adopt the

F. Pogue as delegate. Kauwealoha has
much reason to be encouraged by the success
of his Girls' Boarding School, which numbers eight pupils. The Boys' Boarding
School has met serious difficulties from the
wild dissipations at Puamau, but further efforts will be made the coming year. The
church at Hanamenu continues steadfast,
though they have no missionary among them;
and four have been admitted to membership
in that valley during the year. It is very
gratifying to be able to report $73 10, monthly concert contributions from the Marquesan
Islands, by this return of the Morning Star,
$44 26 of which were from Kauwealoha's
church on Uapou. Mr. Pogue reports the
system of day schools as not being very actively kept up, and that the pupils are still
mainly women, with a few men and almost
no children. Mr. Pogue remarks :
" The
great lack of these churches the past year,
has been an outpouring of the Holy Spirit."
A general meeting was held at Omoa, at
which many important subjects were discussed. It was decided that Kaiwi should
commence a select school at Omoa, for tho
express purpose of fitting persons as teachers.

fltnrrlies.
As your committee have listened to the
station reports, they have been pained lo
hear the repeated expression, " The Holy
Spirit has not been with us the past year."
This is a cause of grief. Our labors will all
be in vain unless this Blessed Spirit aid in
the work. The past year has lieen one of
dearth. Not many from their wanderings
have entered the fold of the Good Shepherd.
In some respects, however, there has been
progress. Many of the churches have contributed of their substance for the Kingdom
of Christ. Meetings on the Sabbath have
been well attended. Sabbath schools have
been in a flourishing condition. The work
has not retrograded. Progress has been made.
The great thing which we desire, and without which our churches must die, we have
not had—the outpouring of the Spirit. The
cause of this destitution is in ourselves, not
in God. Our hearts have not been prepared
to be a dwelling place for this Holy Spirit.
We would acknowledge with shame our
shortcoming in this res|«sct. We have been
engaged strongly in the work of the Lord,
but we have not looked up to God and
felt our dependence, as we should have done.
We have rather trusted to our own wisdom
and leaned upon our own strength ; hence we
have not obtained the blessing. While with
confusion of fear we thus acknowledge our
shortcoming in the past, we would exhort
all the members of the association, both
clerical and lay, to cleanse themselves from
all those things which hinder the Working
of the Spirit among us. Let us eradicate
from our hearts those things which grieve
the Spirit. Then rencwedly lay ourselves
at the feet of Jesus, trusting alone on him
for success. Denying ourselves and taking
up our cross, let us follow him. Then, if we
ask, we will obtain that which wo so Much
desire and need, the dwelling with us of the
Spirit of God
Brethren and fellow laborers, lei us humble ourselves before God ; bring all the tithes
into the store-house, then will the Lord bless
us, and we shall be blessed.

Government of the United States had been
expending large appropriations for tho construction of a Navy Yard at Mare Island,
we felt a strong desire to visit the spot and
witness what had hern accomplished. Such
an opportunity was afforded on Thursday,
April 124. The first object which attracted
nur attention was the immense Dry Dock,

Dwellings for the commandant and officers,
together with ample barrack-accommodations

The grounds and gardens were beautifully
laid out and neatly kept, besides undergoing
constant improvements.
Among the immense

war-material scattered on the grounds, our
attention was attracted to two " 10-inch "

of the age in the art and science of constructing vessels for warlike purposes. We
do not now wonder that the navul engagement between the " Merriinac " and the first
Monitor built by Ericsson, in Hampton
Roads, revolutionized the whole system of
naval warfare, and led to the practical banishment of wooden vessels from all the navies of the world. A person can form no
adequate idea of the strength and resistance
of a real iron-clad until he has inspected a
Monitor. The prestige given to our country
Iruin having built the first Monitor, exceeds
all that would have l>eeii obtained by victory
in a hundred battles, on sea or hind. Capt
John Ericsson, who has just died at Rie.hland, N. V., has thereby conierred an honor
upon his adopted country fully equal to
that of Fulton, who discovered the method
of applying steam to the propelling of vessels on water. Not only does this honor belong to Ericsson, but also that of the threebladed screw-propeller, the caloric engine,
and how inanv other inventions we know

Mure Island is about three miles lung and

the Government, and probably will remain

so long as the Republic shall stand. Subsequent appropriations of Congress will enable the Navy Department to increase, onlarge, and perfect the already extensive
works upon the island. Should Vallejo be

OAKLAND, BENICIA, VAI.LEJO AISD SANTA CI.AUA.
During our sojourn in California, we have
enjoyed the privilege and improved the opportunity of visiting some of the rising Ujwiis
in the vicinity ol Sun Francisco. Our first
visit was to San Mateo, and .next we went
over to Oakland. This city stands in the
relation to San Francisco that Brooklyn
does to New York. It is a growing and prospcrons city. We were most favorably disappointed in its appearance. Its nvennee,
street! and public squares are spacious and
well laid out. It is a city of public School*
nnd higher seminaries of learning. When
the University is well established, Oakland
will become the Cambridge ol the Pacific
coast. Its many eligible sites for building
beautiful residences ami public edifices will
render Oakland all that its sanguine admirers now claim for it. We rude out to the
neighboring town of Brooklyn and caught a

Benicia still retains the appearance which
it presented at our visit eighteen years ago.
This too is to be a place for seminaries of
learning. In addition to the Catholic Nunnery, and the flourishing Female Seminary
of Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Mills, the new Theological School and Seminary of the Episcopal Church bus been there established.
We spent three days at the Female Seminary of Mr. Mills, and wen? most favorably
impressed with the order and arrangement
of the institution. It is just the school needed
for the young ladies of California. Parents
having daughters there may well congratulate themselves upon the fact that they are
taught by a corps ol' teachers in every respect qualified for their responsible task. Y\ c
attended recitations in Latin, Natural Theology, Butler's Analogy, and Rhetoric, which
would have done honor to any college in the
laud.
While referring to the success of this
Seminary, we cannot refrain from alluding
to the noble work which Miss Atkins
Mrs. Lynch) performed for female education
on this coast. She gave an impetus to the
cause of temale education at a most critical
and important period in the history of this
State. At Benicia her name is still remembered with high esteem. It was our privilege to become acquainted with this lady at
Honolulu on her voyage to Japan, China and
Siatu. We copy the following Irom the
Cleaveland Leader of March 30th I
" The many friends of that accomplished
lady, Miss Mary Atkins, were agreeably surprised to learn of her marriage with John
Lynch, a member of the Louisiana Legislature, which was solemnized at St. Paul's
Church Sunday evening. She received her
education at Oberlin, where she graduated
with honor. Some twelve years ago she
went to California and established the Benicia Female Seminary, which became an institution of high repule. Subsequently she
accompanied a nephew of hers, Capt. Turner,
formerly of Geneva, Ohio, who commanded
a clipper ship, to China, Japan and Siam,
and for a lady traveler saw much of those
strange countries. Mrs. Lynch, for the brief
period she has resided in this city since her
return from California, has created a large
circle of warm and admiring friends, and her
presence in our midst will be sadly missed."
At Benicia we were gratified lo meet one
more our old friend, Capt. Walsh, who gavn
us such a cordial welcome to the, Paci6c
twenty-seven years ago, when we landed in
Valparaiso, Chile, after a voyage around
Cape Horn, while he was there, residing as a
prosperous merchant. Years have dealt
kindly with this veteran of the seas, who
achieved a wide reputation some thirty or
forty years ago as commander of the famour
American brig "John Gilpin." running between Mexico and China.

world. It is the natural outlet of a large
wheat-growing region, and is connected by

that the great Pacific Railroad will make its
It is shunted exactly opposite Mare Island Navy Yard. The
harbor is good, and the site for a large city
most excellent. The tninds of many are
fully possessed with the idea that in a few
years broad streets and avenues will extend
far over hill and valley, and that a thriving
population will gather hither. We hope
their expectations may be fully realized. A
grain elevator is now being constructed at
South Vallejo, and it is expected that very
soon it will be made a port of entry.
Our visit to Santa Clara introduced us to
the San Jose Valley, the garden of California. It is a most charming region. The
richness of the soil reminds us of the productive lands lying along the valley of the
Connecticut River about Northampton and
Hadlcy, Mass. San Jose is just fifty miles
south of San Francisco, and is connected by
railroad. Santa Clara is situated three miles
south of San Jose. Our remarks upon '■ New
Park Farm " will indicate the general character of the surrounding portions of the valwestern terminus there.
ley.
NEW PARK FARM.
While at Santa Clara we were the guest
of J. P. Pierce, Esq., proprietor of this beautiful estate. It contains ninety-five acres,
and is divided off into vineyard, garden,
orchard and tillage. Already twelve acres
are carefully laid out with strawberries. Besides its vineyard proper, vines are trained
tocoverarbors which, if running in a straight
line, would extend nearly one mile. The
orchards are arranged so that a succession of
fruits follow each other in regular order,
cherries, apricots, peaches, pears, apples.
The whole farm is under a high state of cultivation and kept in the most perfect order.
Five white laborers and about twenty Chinese are constantly employed.
The system of irrigation is most complete
and perfect. Miles of pipe extend underground to all parts of the garden requiring
to be watered. These are so admirably arranged that by removing a plug each row of
strawberries will be easily watered. Water
is abundantly supplied from several artesian
wells, which have never ns yet been exhausted. The garden and grounds are most
beautifully laid out. Walks are bordered
with pinks, geraniums, roses and many other
species of flowers. At this season the roses
are in perfection, exhibiting such
wealth,

abundance, fragrance and beauty that one
might almost gather a voriety sufficient to
manufacture the celebrated perfume of a
"thousand flowers." The beautiful residence
of the proprietor is embowered in them, extending over door-ways, hanging in clusters
from verandas, and fairly covering the sides
of his dwelling. Not merely is this beautiful spot designed to gratify the eye, but its
fruits are gathered for the San Francisco
market. At the height of the strawberry
season, beside supplying the family and
guests, nearly a ion a day is conveyed to
market. These arc gathered by the Chinese,
whose nimble fingcrsand patient minds seem
well designed for such garden employments.
We arc sorry to record the fact that among
a certain class of the population of California there is a strong prejudice against employing Chinese laborers. This prejudice
exists among the Irish and those of Secession proclivities. So bitter is this prejudice
that Klu-Klux clans threaten to revenge upon
those employing Chinese or those teaching
the Chinese. Already the Methodist Church
of San jJose has been burnt by the enemies
of the Chinese. A barn on New Park Farm
has also been reduced to ashes. This occurred only a few days before our visit.
Such wanton, wicked and unjustifiable conduct will not accomplish the design of those
so base as to practice if. These Chinese
laborers will not be driven from the San
Jose Valley or the State. Additional numbers arrive by every vessel from China.
New Park Farm may be regarded as superior to most farms in this region, because its
proprietor is willing to expend thousands to
gratify his fancy; but still there arc scattered
through this valley hundreds of tarins, valued
wells in the region vary from two to five
hundred feet. The question arises, will not
these wells ere long drain the fountain from
whence they are supplied? Probably not,
unless California should be visited by a succession of very dry seasons. In boring these
wells, first there is a stratum of gravel, but
below that a layer of clay, and then another
layer of gravel. The water is found in the
lower layer of gravel ; so reported our informant, who bad been engaged in sinking
one or more of these .well*, We are not
aware us similar wells have been successfully
sunk iv any other region this side of the
Rocky Mountains, except in this valley of
San Jose.
MAY HAY.
This is a famous day among young and
old in California. It is a day for celebrations
and picnics. We left Santa Clara in the
morning, and expected to hare spent the day
at Redwood, but we fortunately fell in with
a party inviting us to visit the picnic grounds
at Belinount, where would gather four Subbath-schools belonging to four Congregational
churches of San Francisco. At the appointed
time arrived about 1,400 children, accompanied by their superintendents and teachers.
They were soon dispensed over the grounds
and through the groves. The region was
alive with merry and happy children released
from the confinement of schools and city life.
It was pleasant to witness this great concourse, some engaged in one kind of sport
and some in another. Among them we noticed those belonging to the orphan school,
numbering nearly two hundred. They were
dressed uniformly, and are well taken care
of, so we were informed, but still our heart
felt sad in view of so many growing up without knowing a futher's and a mother's kind,
protecting nnd fostering care. On our return
to the city the train of cars was very long,
and drawn by two engines. There could not
have been less than 2,000 persons upon the
train, and so far as we have learned no accident occurred on that happy May Day.

AHTESIAN WELLS OK SAN JOSE VALLEY.
These wells are worthy of more than a
passing notice. Such is the geological formation of this region, that in many parts of
the valley (though not all) artesian wells
have been found to send forth an inexhaustible supply ol pure water. One of the deepest of these wells is upon the New Park
Farm. This well is 700 feet deep, and in
24 hours will send forth water sufficient to
fill a reservoir holding 250,000 gallons. This
well fills a ten-inch pipe with water. Other

trembling a nil fearing—they shall froth perish in the lie they have believed ; " for they
have not fled for refuge to lay hold on ihe
hope set before them " in the gospel, but they
have fled to a refuge of lies. It is sometimes
said it matters not what a man lielieves, providing he is candid and honest in his belief
But does it not? A hungry man may believe a stone to be a loaf of bread, will it
however satisfy his hunger? Will it matter
anything whether the merchant takes with
him to market current mnticy with which to
purchase goods? Can he by any amount of
believing convert pewter or brass into gold?
Yes tlearly beloved, we will be held accountable by God for our beliefs. So if a man
rests his eternal salvation on a false object,
he must of necessity perish, and no amount
of believing will save him. Man prefers to
rely on his own ingenuity rather than on the
wisdom of Godj he prefers his own system
to that which God lias provided ; he will tax
his own brain for something to satisfy; he
will depend on his own good behavior rather
than on the grace and mercy of God for the
salvation of his soul. Man's religion keeps
God at a distance, God'i brings him nigh.
Homage to God, but not communion with
him, is the object of the former ; nearness of
fellowship antl companionship, coupled with
lowliest reverence, is the aim of the latter.
Man says, "God is my enemy, and must hi;
appeased; or, he is at the best a doubtful
friend, and must be kept at n distance; he is
incomprehensible and unapproachable, and
therefore enn have no common sympathies
with me. I will lay my gift upon his altar,
and retire out of his presence." God says,
Man is my creature, and though he is a
"sinner,
dreading, but not loving me, I will
not leave him to his misery; I will come
nigh ; I will speak with him in love ; I will
win back his confidence, and teach him to
love me ; I will make him feel that I am not
his enemy, but his friend ; I will show him
that in my favor is life, and that companionship with me is the joy and health of his
being." Man's religion begins by enjoining
worship—God's by preparing the worshiper.
And here the difference is as wide as it is
striking. The main idea that man has in
connection with worship is, that it is the
means of securing acceptance and effecting
reconciliation with God. And it matters not
whether you believe in these human systems
with confidence or whether you believe in
them, with trembling doubt and apprehension,
they shall perish in their iniquity who rest
upon such refuges of lies, for there is no offering in them, nor in anything in earth or
heaven for the sinner to save hia soul but the
blood of our crucified Redeemer. It is the
nature that is corrupt. It is the perverted
heart, will nnd affections, which produce perverted actions; the activities themselves arc
neither good nor bad, in themselves considered. They have no moral character, only
as it is given by the motive, intention, or
purpose. And the fountain cannot be purified by throwing saltinto the stream ; neither
can the heart of roan be renewed by mere
discipline or education. To suppose this is
to mistake the true character of man, and
his relation to God and eternity. No, my
hearers, " by grace are ye saved," and faith
is merely the instrumental means. Faith is
essential as the medium through which.
�46
sirt-.-ims ol healing must flow into the soul.
Aa the atmosphere iibovc nnd around us is
the medium through which the genial rays
of the sun reach our earth, and causes it to
blossom and bud, bringing forlli seed to the
sower and bread to the eater, so also is our
faith the channel of blessing to our souls.
Let me aguin illustrate true faith. Two
shipwrecked mariners are buffeting their way
from a wreck to a rock. One is confident
and joyous—the other trembling and fearing,
lest the waves should overwhelm him nnd
sweep him ngain into the bosom of the deep;
but the rock is inaccessible to the waves, nnd
both are equally secure. Why ? It is not
the courugo or confidence of the one thut
saves him, but because he is on the rock.
All the doubts .-tint fears of the other cannot
ovcrwhelrii hint. Why? Because notwitlitauding all his doubtl and fears, he is on I
rock too. So when sinners hnve indeed
'• lied
for refuge to lay hold upon the hope
set lieforu them," when they have indeed
fled to Jesus—the Kock, the Fortress of their
salvation, whether they believe with joyous,
lightsome heart, with full assurance of faith,
or whether they arc, us many are, doubting,
trembling, fearing in the weakness and unbelief of their own hearts, still they arc both
equullv secure, for both are resting on the
" Rock of Ac«'s." Jesus is the hope, Jesus
is the Rock, Jesus is the salvation of them
both. Let DM not be misunderstood. Faith
is ns essential to your salvation as the blood
of Christ, but on very different grounds and
tor a very different purpose. In respect to
our ultimate salvation it matters not whether
we live in the possession of a strong, confident, joyous faith or not. If our faith is a
true taith, that is, having Christ ns our personal friend and Redeemer for its object,
'hen our sulvatiou is secure. But it does
make a great difference in our efficiency as
laborers in the Lord's vineyard, and in our
enjoyment and religious experience, whether
we live in possession of a joyous, confident
faith or not. Our loyalty to Christ requires
that we should so live ; nnr privilege as children of God requires it; ourefliciency in his
service requires it. He who so lives, and n
stands upon the rock, has nothing to fear,
.and he has both hands to extend to his per-
•
ishing fellow-men. Then too, it honors
Christ so to live, while he of the trembling
faith is always in doubt and fear, and has to
cling, as it were, with one hand to the rock,
and therefore has but one to extend to .lying
mortals—a one-handed Christian, but, gets
■■afc, being on the rock. Whercforcjthc babe
in Christ is as safe as the father in Christ.
The weakest believer is as safe as the strongest, because it is not their faith, but Christ,
:hat saves them. It is not by faith you are
saved through grace, but "by grace arc ye
saved through taith." Grace is that which
gives salvation, and therefore, that he might
" be strong in the Lord, and in the power of
might," Paul exhorts Timothy to bo
rorig in (he grace that is in Christ Jesus."

Christ Jesus his Lord. How hard it is when
persons have taken up a false system, and
have not been rightly instructed in God's
truth, in drive these vain fancies out of their
minds! How often have the siivanls of
God iircn seen doubting and trembling, and
writing bitter things against themselves, even
on the bed of death, liei-ause instead of looking to Jesus us their till, ihey were looking
into themselves for confidence, and expecting
comfort and courage from the strength of
their faith, instead of from ('hrist, the strength
of their salvation. You who Hre strong in
the faith of Christ Jesus—you who are resting with joyous confidence tin your Lord, In
ware we are in an enemy's land, ami always
in danger. " Let him that thinketh lie
stnndeth, take heed lest be fall." We are
often solicited by the adversary, when faith
is sirong, to look away from Christ lo ourselves, to transfer our confidence from Jesus
to our faith, Beware let! the confidence of
faith should be degenerated into confidence
in faith. The Apostle says, " When I am
weak, then nin I strong.n Strong faith is
often S very hard trietl laith. Recollect
strong faith ought lo be victorious faith,
"This is the victory that overconteth the
world, even our faith." Those of you who
are weak in the faith that is in Christ Jesus—
trembling mid doubting.—if indeed yon arc
looking unto him, take courage,—look out til
your faith. It is not your faith, it is Jesus
that saves you. It is not the strength of
your own confidence, it is the strength of him
in whom you confide. Think of this ; lift
up your hearts. Remember that Jesus is the
same to the Weakest as to the strongest., The
rock is the same to the man thai trembles on
it, as to the man who stands with the stoutest heart upon it. Jesus is the same to both.
() weak believers ! lift up your hands that

SO, " let him trust in the Lord, and stay himself upon his God, iv darkness as well as
in light,— in doubts ns well as in confidence,
in difficulty as well as in the easy course of
prosperity." Therefore lift up the hands
that hang down, and the feeble knees. Let
the weak take courage, let the strong "watch

shepherd; remember what is said, "He
gathcreth the lambs in his arms, and Carrieth

1 II I.
Editor'sTable.
Our "table" we take with us in our travels,
nnd hove had laid upon it several fine specimens of books published in California. One of
these is a volume of Sermons recently
issued by Roman & Co., from the pen of
the Key. Charles Wadsworth, D. D., Minister of Calvary Church, Son Francisco. The
volume contains twenty sermons, and if they
arc a fair sample of the style of sermonizing
by the Pastor of Calvary Church, then most
surely his people are highly favored. There
is simplicity of plan, beauty of style, luckiness of arrangement, aptness of illustration,
and force of expression, which render them
models of n certain style of pulpit oratory.
We liave read several of these sermons, viz.,
those entitled '• The Child's Teacher," "God's
Thoughts," " Young Man's Mission," "The
Mother's Sorrow," and we shall not fail to
read every sermon contained in the volume,
for more profitable and entertaining rending
is seldom to be found. These sermons evince
a finish, culture, earnestness and wealth of
thought which arc seldom to be met with in
this age of preachers who labor for popular
effect. The minister of the Gospel who
comes before his congregation with such
well-digested and carefully prepared sermons,
will not fail to gather around him a class of
thoughtful, serious-minded and devout hearers
and thinkers. Having read these sermons,
we felt a strong desire to hear Dr. Wadsworth
preach. This privilege we enjoyed on the
first Sabbath in May. His sermon was on the
text, John 11:15—"And lam glad for
your sakes that I was not there, to the intent
ye may believe." The style of this discourse
strikingly resembled that of his printed sermons. This was delivered in the vestry of
the new Calvary Church. In two or three
weeks, the congregation is expecting to worship in the new church. It is internally one
of the finest audience-rooms, designed for a
church, which we have seen in San Francisco.
It will comfortably seat a thousand and more.
The style of finish may be inferred from the
cost of the edifice, which will be nearly
SIOO.OOO, aside from the ground, which cost
$40,000. The location is in the most central part of the city. The external architecture of the edifice is very peculiar. It is
surely not Gothic, or Doric, or nny other
style of church building we have ever seen.
Ten turrets rise from the square top. It has
no tower, but seems designed to be built of
solid masonry, well designed to withstand
earthquakes. Perhaps this idea was running
in the architect's mind. It is a good, solid
edifice—long may it stand, and in it may its
eloquent and thoughtful pastor long stand to
preach "Christ and Him crucified" to the
crowds of eager and listening; hearers, as they
may gather on the Sahbatb and other occasions.

PASSAGE OF THE lIIAHO.
The distance from South Knrrjlonc Light
to four miles south of Makapua, island of
Oahu, is 2,044 miles on the arc of a great
circle—so reports Captain Floyd—hence the
distance from Honolulu to San Francisco is
about 2,100 miles. Our speed from day to
day was as follows

We took no little interest in noting our
progress from day to day, became we were
sailing on the arc of a great circle, from
which we deviated, probably, not over twenty-five miles. The " Idaho's " speed averaged eight knots per hour during the entire
passage. Most of the time we were much
assisted by favorable winds which increased
our speed about two knots per hour, while
ordinarily the speed of the vessel was seven
knots when not under sail. This passage is
reported to be the shortest ever made by the

It was u long lecture, occupying one hour
and a half. We can remark that the speaker's ideas of common sense, as applied to
history and Christianity, would not correspond to those of a Protestant. In the course
of his remarks ho referred to the fact that
Protestant ministers had compared the Catholic Church to the Apocalyptic lady clothed

On Tuesday evening, March .'30th, the
second alter landing in San Francisco, we
attended a lecture delivered by Dr. Scudder,
on "Hindoo Philosophy" and "Boston
Tranccndentalism." The Bevcrond speaker
compared the two systems on these five
points—God, Matter, Man. Futurity and
Salvation. As the speaker was born in India, and had spent twenty years of missionary life preaching in the streets of that mys-
terious land, it was interesting to listen to a
popular exposition of Hindoo philosophy.
We felt that be was speaking upon a subject which he had thoroughly studied and
made a speciality. When lie came to expose the errors of the Boston Traneciidcntalists—of whom IJ. W. Emerson is the exponent we also felt that he was not stepping upon ground which he had not fully explored. His references were full and to the
point. The comparison was by no means
favorable to the Yankee philosopher. A full
report of bis lecture has appeared in the
" Bulletin," and we copy the closing para-

Francisco.
The Colored Prenclier.
1 was traveling one summer on the Pana-
ma steamer to San Francisco. The ship's
company and passengers numbered some
twelve hundred. Of nil this community,
apart by himself, among the steerage passengers, was a colored man, apparently unnoticed, except by casual and scornful remarks
about "that big nigger dressed in black."
He was a powerfully built man, almost black,
wilh large, well-shaped and intelligent features. One Sunday, after a morning Episcopal service and a sermon in the afternoon
from a Methodist or Baptist minister, it was
proposed by some of the passengers that the
negro, who was ascertained to bo a preacher,
thould be asked to hold an evening service,
After some hesitation, he finally was induced
to officiate. The large cabin was full.
Everyone was present, some from good motives, some from curiosity, others, 1 (ear,
from a mischievous idea that they were to
find matter for ridicule in the service.
The preacher, after a short prayer, a
hymn, and a selection from Scripture.closed
his book and delivered an address of some
thirty minutes, which I have rarely heard
equalled for eloquence, simplicity and effectiveness. The deep tones of his voice, not
raised above the natural conversational key,
were distinctly heard throughout the cabin.
Without hesitating for a word, but deliberately, he first reminded his hearers of the
solemn warning of their common humanity
just received, in the death of a poor woman
among the passengers, who with her children
was on her way to join her husband in California. Then he spoke of the profanity,
gambling and frivolity he had observed on
board among " well dressed passengers, officers of the vessel, and all with only a plank
between them and the shoreless ocean of
eternity." Every word told, and was intently and respectfully listened to, and, when he
had closed, there was not one of his hearers
but instinctively felt that a true, fearless
Christian man had stood before them. I will
venture to say that not one was there who
was not convinced of the error and disgraceful wrong we do in entertaining prejudice
against any man merely on account of color.
Every young man should remember
that the world will always honor industry.
The vulgar and useless idler, whose energies
of body and mind are rusting for want of occupation, may look on him with scorn—it is
praise ; his contempt is honor.

She must find shelter. The wild cat's or
fox's den would be welcome.
After wandering for some time among the
huge fragments of granite which skirted the
base of the overhanging precipices, she at
last found a sheltered nook. She crouched
beneath a projecting rock, and pressed her
child to her trembling bosom.
The storm continued to rage. The snow
was accumulating overhead. Hour after
hour passed. It became bitterly cold. The
evening approached. The widow's heart
was sick with fear and anxiety. Her child
—her only child—was all she thought of.
She wrapped him in her shawl. But the
poor thing had been scantily clad, and the
shawl was thin and worn. The widow was
poor, and her clothing could hardly defend
herself from the piercing cold of such a
night as this. But whatever might become
of herself, her child must be preserved. The
snow, in whirling- eddies, entered the recess,
which afforded them at best but miserableshelter.
The night came on. The wretched mother
then stripped off almost all her own clothing
and wrapped it round her child, whom at last
in despair site put into a deep crevice of the
rock, among some heather and fern.
And now she resolves, at all hazards, to
brave the storm, and return home in order
to get assistance for her babe, or perish in
the attempt. Clasping her infant to her
heart, and covering his fac-5 with tears and
kisses, she laid him softly down in sleep,and
rushed into the snowy drift.
That night of storm was succeeded by a
peaceful morning. The sun shone from a
clear blue sky, and wreaths of mist hung
along the tops of the mountains, while a
thousand waterfalls poured down their sides.
Dark figures, made visible at a distance by
the white ground, may now be seen with
long poles, examining every hollow near the

Highland widow, whom he had himself

A few days after this, a message was sent
by a dying man requesting to see this clergyman. The request was speedily complied
with.
The sick man seized the minister by the
hand, and, gazing intently in his face, said
•• You do not, you cannot recognize me. But

The Bottom of the Ocean.
In 1853, Lieutenant Brooke obtained mud
from the bottom of the North Atlantic, between Newfoundland and the Azores, at a
depth of more thai; ten thousand feet, or two
miles, by the help of his sounding apparatus.
The specimens were sent for examination to
Ehrenberg, of Berlin, and to Baily, of West
Point, and those able microscopists found
that this deep sea mud was almost entirely
composed of the skeletons of living organism
—the greater proportions of these being just
like the Globigcrmrc, already known to accur
in the chalk.
Thus far the work had been carried on
simply in the interests of science, but Lieut.
Brooke's method of sounding acquired a
high commercial value when the enterprise
of laving down the telegraphic cable between
Great Britain and the United States was undertaken. For it became a matter of immense importance to know not only the
depth of the sea over the whole line along
which the cable was to be laid, but the exact
nature of the bottom, so as to guard against
chances of cutting or fraying the strands of
that costly rope. The Admiralty consequently ordered Captain Dayman, an old friend
and shipmate of mine, to ascertain the depth
of the whole line of the cable, and to bring
back specimens of the bottom. In former
days such a command as th's might have
sounded very much like one of the impossible things which the young prince in the
Fairy Tales is ordered to do before he can
obtain the hand of the princess. However,
in the months of June and July, 1557, my
friend performed the task assigned to him
with "reat precision, without, so far ns I
know, having met with any reward of that
kind. The specimens of Atlantic mud
which he procured were sent to me to be examined and reported upon.
The result of these operations is that we
know the contour and nature of the surfacesoil covered by the North Atlantic for a distance of 1,700 miles from enst to west, as
well as we all know that of any part of the
dry land.
It is a prodigous plain—one of the wildest and most even plains in the world. If
the sea were drained off you might drive a
wagon all the way from Valentia, on the
west coast of Ireland, to Trinity Bay, in
Newfoundland. And, except upon one sharp
incline, about two hundred miles from Valentin, I am not quite sure that it would even
be necessary to put the skid on, so gentle
are the ascents and descents on that long
route. From Valentin the road would lie
down hill for about three hundred miles to
the point at which the bottom is now covered by 1,700 fathoms of sea water. Then
would come the central plain, more than one
thousand miles wide, the inequalities of
the surface of which would be hardly perceptible, though the depth of the water upon
it varies from 10,000 to 15,000 feet; and
there arc places in which Mount Blanc
might be sunk without showing its peak
above water. Beyond this, the ascent on
the American side commences, and gradually
leads, for about three hundred miles, to the
Newfoundland shore.
Almost the whole bottom of this central
plain (which extends lor many hundred miles
in a north and south direction) is covered hy
a fine mud, which, when brought to the surface, dries into a grayish white friable substance. You can write with this on a blackboard, if you are so inclined, and to the eye
it is quite like very soft, grayish chalk. Examined chemically, it proved to be composed
almost wholly of carbonate of lime; and if
you make a section of it in the same way as
that of a piece of chalk was made, and view
it with a microscope, it presents innumerable
Globigerinaj embedded in the granular matrix. Thus the deep sea mud is substantial-
ly chalk.—[Prof. Huxiey.
To the Slaves ok Tobacco.—We find
the following in an exchange, and would advise all of our tobacco-chewing readers to
try it:
!. Make the most of your Will. Drop tobacco, and resolve never to use it again in
any form.
2. Go to an apothecary, and buy ten cents'
worth of Gentian root, coarsely ground.
3. Take as much of it after each meal, or
oftener, as amounts to a common quid of
cut " or cavendish."
" fine
4. Chew it well, and swallow all the
saliva.
5. Continue this a few weeks, and you
will come off conqueror; then thank God,
and thank us—i. c., the Rev. Geo. Trask.

The
Hawaiian Club.-The following item was
clipped from a Boston paper
:
This club held their annual meeting at No. 15
Peinberton square on the 20th Feb. The following
officers were chosen :
President, James Hunnewell.
Vine-i'resident, J.imes F. 1!. Marshall.
Secretary and Treasurer, Kifwnril I'. Bond.
Directors, Charles Brewer, Augustus Huss.
JCilitinir Committer, Win. T. Brighiui, James F.
Hunnewell, Bcnjnmiii Pitman, Q. 1). Oilman, l>. M.
Weston.
The following minute, relating to the late Mr.
Horace Mann, was entered upou the records of the
club:
The members of the Hawaiian Club desire to record
their appreciation of the character and labors of
their late associate, Sir. Horace Mann. While the
purity and usefulness of his character, worthy of the
honored name he bore, had won the regard and affection of all whom his modesty would admit to a knowledge of his worth, his services in his chosen department of science gave promise of great usefulness
and distinction ; and it seems altogether fitting that
the friends of Hawaii, which was the scene of his
early labors and of his first recognized success, should
acknowledge their deep sense of the W which they
hare sustained in his early death.

Progress of the Gospel in
Si'AIn.—The
Secretaries af the American and Foreign
Christian Union have kindly furnished us
with the following facts, just received from
Mr. Henry C. Hall, their missionary director
in Spain. They state that thus far no other
Society has proposed to employ, men colporters, or evangelists, in Spain. The Union,
because it is American, has every advantage
there for successful missionary work, and it
designs to do as much as the Christians of
America will authorize by their contributions.
After giving detailed esiimates for printing
the Bible, Mr. Hall writes :
'•As regarding the advisability of printing
here, there can be but one opinion, it seems
to me.
mitted
The facts are : Spain has never per-
the entry of
foreign-printed Spanish
books. 2t\. After having promised to permit,
she proves faithless to her promise. 3d.
There is no law which prohibits printing.
4th. Matter printed here is of fifty per cent,
more value, because gratifying the national
pride. Tracts can he printed very cheaply.
Paper is cheap, and the ordinary price for
labor is twenty to forty cents per day.
For want of other printed truth, Mr. Alonzo and myself have commenced the publication ola weekly newspaper, filled with the
facts and stories of the Gospel of Christ, together with an exposition of portions of the
Word of God. We are working through all
the channels open to us, and the cause of
Christ daily and obviously advances. Mr.
Alonzo is addressing audiences of ten to fifteen hundred in Seville, in Roman Catholic
churches, which for the time have been abandoned. He says :" If you could see the immense multitudes who attend these meetings, you would remember the words of the
Master, 'The harvest is great, but the laborers are few.' Must we," he adds, "lose this
blessed opportunity of telling these of Jesus,
the beauty of His doctrine, and what He did
for them and for us, because the meetings
are called under the name of clubs'?"—
[Evangelist.
Read this: The Alonzo Hawes who
Sr. Albans to the New York Sun
the sensational story about the son of Mrs.
Sigourney, who was supposed to be drowned
but is alive, turns out to be a maniac. The
whole yarn is a fabrication, as Mrs. Sigourney never lost a son by drowning. This
same Hawes robbed Mrs. Sigourney of her
silver plate on one occasion, and in return
for her kindness in visiting him at the state
prison, where he was subsequently incarcerated, pestered the good woman by publishing
verses of his own purporting to be hers. His
wrote from
crnziness seems to run in a singular vein.
Now read this: A correspondent writes
from St. Albans to the New York Sun, a,
strikingly sensational account of the existence of a son of the late Mrs. Lydia H. Sigourney, of Hartford, who was reported to
have been drowned in the East Hirer at New
York in 1857. The person who was drowned,
and had been known through his life as hep
son. was one exchanged in infancy for her
child. This startling statement rests on confessions and documents of a dying woman,
which will shortly be given to the public.
Mrs. Sigourney's genuine son served in the
war, and returned home a major, and now
lives in a Vermont town.

"Come This War My Father."
The little song, "Come this Way. My
Father," was written by me during a season
of great affliction, —occasioned by the loss
of my darling little Frank (the hero of the
story). The narrative and song were first
published in the Waterville " Mail," in the
year 1860. The scene of the occurrence
was Boothbay, a little harbor about filtcen
miles east of Bath.
During a short visit to tbe sea-shore of our
State, some two years since, with a party of
friends, it was proposed one bright afternoon
that we should make up a party and go down
the harbor on a fishing excursion.
We accordingly started, mid after sailing
about three miles, a young lady of the company declined going further, and requested
us to land her on one of the small islands in
the harbor, where she proposed to stay until
our return. My little boy, then about four
years old, preferred remaining with her. Accordingly we left them, and proceeded some
six miles further. We remained out much
longer than we intended, and, as night approached, a thick fog set in from the sea, entirely enshrouding us. Without compass,
and not knowing the right direction to steer,
we groped our way along for some hours,
until we discovered the breaking of the surf
on the rocks of one of the islands, but were
at a loss to know which one of them. I stood
up in the stern of the boat, where I had been
steering, and shouted with all my strength.
I listened a moment, and heard, through the
thick fog, and above the breaking of the surf,
the sweet voice of my boy calling, "Come this
way, father, —steer straight for me,—I'm
waiting for you! " We steered by that
sound, and soon my little boy leaped to my
arms with joy, saying. •' I knew you would
hear me, father ! " and nestled to sleep on my
bosom. The child and the maiden are both
sleeping now. They died in two short weeks
after the period I refer to, with hardly an interval of time between their deaths. Now,
when tossed upon the rough sea of life, without compass or guide, enveloped in fogs and
surrounded by rocks, I seem to hear the
sound of that cherub voice calling from the
bright shore, " Come this wny, father,—steer
straight for me!" When oppressed with
sadness, I take my way to our quiet cemetery, and still, as 1 stand by one little mound,
the same musical voice echoes from thence,
"Come this way, my father,—I'm waiting
for thee! "
With this 1 enclose a correct copy of the

have heard him speak with very great edification. '0, S—,' 1 said, 'is that you?'
•This is me,'he said in a sarcastic tone,
' don't you know me ?' 'I nm ashamed of
you,' I said. ' You have no right to be
ashamed of me. You are not my doctor.
1 was a teetotaler, but you sent me here—
here, to this public house.—for your medicine, which saved my body but ruined my
soul.' He lell into the arms of two or three
of his drunken companions and I left him.
"1 did not sleep that night, iliiukingabout
that man. I was not a teetotaler then, but
it almost made me one. I'mm that night 1
sought him out. He lived a little way from
the town when I bad last known him. His
home was in a pleasant cottage with a little
garden before it. He was a happy man in
his family. Now, however, he was not there,
and, on inquiring where he had gone to, I
found it was to a low pari of the town.
Here, in such a home as only a drunken
man can live in, 1 found him laid upon a
straw bed, sleeping off the effects of the previous night's debauch. His poor children
were clothed in rags, and the appearance of
his broken-hearted wife I shall not soon forget. I talked lo the man,- reasoned with,
and succored him from dial time, and never
let him rest until he signed the pledge. It
took him some time to recover his character
in the church, and 1 had the happiness of
seeing him restored lo his place there ; and
now he has a larger class, and is more popular than be was before, and has been a devoted worker in the temperance cause ever
since. Can you wonder that I never order
strong drink for a patient?"
At a social meeting of temperance reformers, held recently in the Lecture Hall of the

Extract from Chaplain's Annual Report to
for 1868
Slur y ofa Popular Sour
The foreign church and coinniunity are
prospering finely. The house is well filled
every Sabbath with attentive hearers. The
whole people are deeply interested in this
yonurr church, and they could be no more attentive to their pastor than they are —" anticipating every want, providing lor every
necessity." The children of the Sabbathschool have been vying with their parents
and friends m providing for and furnishing
the parsonage, which is just as cozy a place
as you could wish for. If they have not good
sermons, it will not be because they have not
done their part. The sailors, too, have borne
a hand in this matter, Capt. Bliven uniting
his recourses with the Sunday-school children—ten dollars worth—to surprise us on
the seventh anniversary of our marriage with
a very handsome piece of koa furniture. He
also supplied a keg of oil to the parsonage.
He believes in the Scripture injunction,
" Let your light shine."
Capt. Fisher also contributed five dollars
toward building a study for the pastor, which
by the way is to be a very neat and comfortable one, framed by your townsman, Mr.
Torbert. A keg of oil also from Capt.
Fisher—for the study 1 suppose. We hope
to have a " light in, the window for you,"
Capt. Fisher, on your return to our bay next
fall.

Letter from Hilo,

Mr. Da.mon, —Dear Brother .—I
promised to keep you posted in regard to
Hilo affairs. Hitherto I have not been able
to redeem that promise, but propose to begin
Key.
now.
The spring whaling fleet has made its appearance. We have had two in already.
The Elizabeth Swift, Capt. Bliven, (Swift &
Allen. New Bedford,) arrived on the 10th of
February, seven months from home, having
taken during that time about 200 barrels of
oil. She sailed March 3d for Honolulu and
Nor'west. The bark Oliver Crocker, Capt.
Fisher, (Hood & Co., New Bedford,) arrived
February 22d, seven and a half months from
home, with about 200 barrels of oil. She
lies here yet, but will probably sail to-day
lor Honolulu and Nor'west. Capt. Fisher
took a whale here in the bay, which made
him over 60 barrels, thus furnishing the
means of paying all port expenses, and more
too, and an almost infinite fund of amusement to the inhabitants, who had thus an
interest, and our contributions are also increasing. Indeed, lam delighted with the
liberality of this noble little community, in
and out of the church. " The people have
a mind to work." I think we may have to
call upon Mr. Torbert to give us more church
room before long.
I am very grateful to you for the copies of

What
oahu
College Needs.
—
.1 .Veto Library Huilding and Library Fund A
Scientific Professorship—A good Telcscojic and
mnrr Apparatus.
The present seems to us a fitting time to
lay the wants and the claims of Oahu College before our readers. Now that the Hawaiian Government is very properly establishing a school in Honolulu on a permanent
basis for English speaking children, it is
time that public attention should be turned
to the importance of putting Oahu College
in a position to meet the just expectations o(
its friends, and the actual wants of the country. It is time that a school which aspires to
stand at the head of the educational institutions of the country should be enabled to take
a step in advance, instead of struggling along
from year to year, unable to enlarge its

paratus, or to do anything worthy of mention ior the cause of science. For the last
four or five years since it ceased to ask aid
from the American Board, the institution has
been running under close reefed topsails.
The time has fully come to shake out the
reefs, and to set more sail.
The College needs many things, but most
of all a professorship of the natural science*,
and a new building to contain the library and
scientific collections. And here we would
remark that an endowed literary institution
like Oahu College is intended not merely for
the instruction of its pupils for the time
being, but to be a seat of learning. Its library
is not intended merely for the use of pupils,
though it is of great benefit to them both directly, and through the increased facilities it
affords their instructors. Indeed, the very
presence of a well selected library exerts an
influence for good. The true scholar cannot
wander through the alcoves, and look at
those silent teachers without having his
heart stirred within him. The mere familiarity with the names of the standard authors

Our special thanks are due to those rive
mercantile houses in Honolulu which contributed so liberally for the support of Mr. E.
Diinseouibe as a colporteur among seamen.
We refer to C. A. Williams, Esq., Charles
Brewer & Co., Charles L. Richards & Co.,
H. Hackfeld & Co., and F. A. Schnefer
& Co. The book containing their subscriptions is placed in the hands of C. R.
Bishop, Esq., Treasurer of the Honolulu
Sailor's Home Society. Any person interested in this cause, and willing to subscribe
for its promotion, may do so by calling upon
Mr. Bishop. A donation to the cause of
$100 was made by J. W. Austin, Esq.
Other gentlemen have intimated their willingness to promote the good object.

Editorial Remarks.—(l.) It is a remarkable fact that in the foregoing list, including
from twenty to thirty clergymen, Protestant
and Catholic, we are not aware that more
than two have died, viz Rev. John Diell,
first seamen's chaplain, died and was buried
at sea in 1841 on his homeward passage
around Cape Horn. A monument to his
memory has been erected in Nuuanu Valley
:
Cemetery. The other deceased person is the
Rev. R. Armstrong, D. D., who died in Honolulu September 23d, 1860.
(2.) The name of the Key. T. D. Hunt is
not inserted in the foregoing list, although
he preached a few months in Honolulu in
1818. He would probably have soon organized a church, over which he would have
been settled as pastor, but the discovery of
gold in California nearly depopulated Honolulu of foreign residents, and he also went to
San Francisco, where he organized the First
Congregational Church. He is now pastor
of the Presbyterian Church in Niles, Mich-
igan.
(3.) The Rev. Mr. Siueatliinan, an English Episcopal clergyman, preached, or rather
read, the Episcopal service a few Sabbaths
in Honolulu in 1852.
(4.) The Rev. H. Bingham resides in New
Haven, Ct.; the Rev. E. W. Clark in Middletown, Ct.; the Rev. T. E. Taylor in Oakland, Cal.; the Rev. .1. D. Strong in Massachusetts ; the Rev. E. Corwin at Oakland

The chapel and parsonage were built under
his special superintendence in 1833. In regard to all of our associates and fellow laborers, it is our privilege in liear the most unqualified testimony respecting their zeal,
ardor and efficiency in their Divine Master's
work. They have occupied no sinecures.
With some our differences (speaking theologically) have been " totum ceeluin ; " still in the
social and ordinary intercourse of life, we
have found them genial and pleasant acquaintances and neighbors. There has been
room enough for us all to work, and each to
conform to his own peculiar views of truth
and method of doing good. After men have
agreed to disagree upon theological and religious topics, there is still a broad field upon
which they can work more or less harmoniously together. It is no small attainment to
respect a man's views who diners from you,
and at the same time, by a kindly and judicious course, lead him to respect yours. It
is only by this method that men—ministers—
can dwell together as children of the same
Great Parent and Common Saviour. The
Pharisees of old made broad their phylacteries
and enlarged the borders of their garments,
but they did not wear a mantle of charity.
As years roll away, we are more and more
inclined to enlarge and broaden our mantle
of charity, while we are no less tenacious of
holding on to the essential truths and doctrines of the Bible. "Judge not, that ye be
not judged," was the precept of our Saviour
in his sermon upon the mount. We have
ever regarded Honolulu as a good place
wherein to preach the Gospel, and we have
known many good Christian people residing
here, ready to co-operate in the building up
of the Church of Christ and the spread of the
truth. In no part of the world can we expect to find a larger proportion of Christian
people, compared with the entire population,
nor anywhere could we expect to find those
who belter appreciated the labors of Gospel
ministers. We have seen that when those
preaching the Gospel were faithful and true,
the people gathered around them, and appreciated theirlaborsand preaching. Weareconfitlent that those who have been dissatisfied
and complained of the good people ofHonothan

on the part of the people. Our experience of a
quarter of a century and more has brought
us to this conclusion, that when ministers of
the Gospel will labor faithfully in their appropriate work, they may always find enough
to do, and to employ their hands, heads and
hearts, and by minding their Master's and
their own business, they would thereby disarm
The New York Tribune gives a very striking example of the results of liquor prohibition on a community, in an account ol the
flourishing condition of Vinelond, in West
Jersey, which was established on the principles, first, that no land should be sold except
in small traels to actual settlers, under stipulations which oblige the purchaser to enter
at once upon its improvement ; and, second,
that there should be no grog shop, lager beer
saloon, or other place, licensed or permitted
to sell alcoholic liquors, unless the people, at
a regular election, should decree otherwise.
The setlleineni is now about twelve years
old, and contains over ten thousand inhabitants, mostly immigrants in moderate circumstances, who live chiefly by tilling the soil,
which is a poor one. Respecting the condition of the little community, the Overseer of
the Poor, Mr. S.T. Cortis, reports as follows:
" Though we have a population of 10,000
people, for the period of six months no settler
or citizen of Vineland has required relief at
my hands us Overseer of the Poor. Within
seventy days there has only been one case,
among what we call the floating population,
at an expense of four dollars.
" During the entire year there has only
been one indictment, and that a trifling cause
ol assault and battery among our colored
population.
" So few are the fires in Vineland that we
have no need of a fire department. There
has only been one house burnt down in a
year, and two slight fires, which were soon
put out.
We practically have no debt, and our
taxes are only one per cent, on the valua-
"
tion.
" The police expenses of Vineland amount
to $75 per year, the sum paid to me ; and
our poor expenses a mere trifle.
1 ascribe this remarkable state of things,
so "nearly approaching the golden age, to the
industry of our people and the absence of
King Alcohol.
" Let me give you, in contrast to this, the
state of things in the town from which 1
«ame, in New England. The population of
the town was 9,500—a little less than thai
of Vineland. It maintained forty liquor shops.
These kept busy a police judge, city marshal,
assistant marshal, four night watchmen, six
policemen. Fires were almost continual.
That small place maintained a paid fire department of four companies, of forty men
each, at an expense of $3,000 per annum. I
belonged to this department for six years, and
the fires averaged one about every two weeks,
and mostly incendiary. The support of the
poor cost $2,500 per annum. The debt of
the township was $120,000. The condition
of things in this New England town is as
favorable in that country as- that of many
other places where liquor is sold."

THE FRIEND.
wini. I. I son.
Editor's Visit to the United States.
Just twenty-seven years ago to-day, March
10, 1842, we embarked from New York on
board the good ship " Victoria," John H.
Spring, master, for Honolulu. After a voyage
of seven months, touching at Valparaiso and
Callao, we reached Honolulu October 19th,
and were kindly welcomed by the few foreigners then residing in thiscily. Some few
of the old residents still remain. With them,
and multitudes more as they have come and
gone, we have been permitted to dwell and
hold pleasant intercourse. The pages of the
briend during the last quarter of a century
are a partial record of our life and labors in
obedience to our ordination vows as a minister of the Gospel and a chaplain of the American Seamen's Friend Society. On the 7th
of November, 1841, the Rev. J. Spaulding,
Secretary of that Society, in the "old brick
church " of the. Rev. Dr. Spring, gave us our
instructions, from which we quote as follows:
" The particular field of your labors will
be the port of Honolulu, and the special object of your solicitude, prayers and efforts
will be the sons of the ocean. * *
In this
commercial and central position between the
coasts of Asia and America, you are to stand
erect as a minister of Jesus Christ. With
•
foreign residents you will be expected to
maintain a kind and courteous intercourse ;
and if they shall be disposed to attend upon
your ministry, you will watch for their souls
as one that must give account. Your work,
though distinct from that of the missionary
brethren there, embraces the same end—the
glory of God in the salvation of men. Therefore, you will co-operate with them; avail
yourself of their counsels, and let the world
behold how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity.
•• In leaving the United States for a foreign land, you will remember that you leave
not you* citizenship behind. At Honolulu
you will be a citizen still of the land that
pive you birth, and entitled to its civil pro-
tection. The honor of your own country,
therefore, as well as Christian and professional considerations, will cause you to abstain from all interference with the local and
political interests of that people. Never let
the preacher of Christ become the partisan of
the world."
It is not for us to say how far we have
•succeeded in complying with those instructions. We know what our honest purpose
has been. In the good Providence of God,
it has been our privilege to enjoy uninterrupted health. In only two or three instances
have we been prevented by illness from fulfilling every appointment upon the Sabbath
and week day. Aside from an occasional
vacation to the other islands, a trip to Oregon and California in '49, to the Eastern
Suites in '51, und n voyage to Micronesia in

'61, we have labored at our assigned post of
duty. To all seamen or landsmen who have
in any manner, privately or publicly, contributed for our support, or for sustaining
any of those enterprises which we have
aimed to carry forward, we now return our
sincere thanks. We are not unmindful of
the fact that without " let or hindrance," and
with much encouragement from the Hawaiian Government, we have lived and labored
under three Kanehameiias.
During our absence, we have made such
arrangements that we hope the affairs of this
chaplaincy will move along harmoniously
and prosperously. The supply of the regular preaching upon the Sabbath is entrusted
to a Committee of the Bethel Church, viz.,
Thomas Thrum, Daniel Foster and Joseph
O. Carter.
The I'rieud will be continued and appear
regularly on the Ist of each mouth. All
business relating to donations and subscriptions is entrusted to Mr. E. Dunscombe, the
colporteur for seamen ; office at the Sailor's
Home. It is our design to correspond for its
columns while abroad. Mr. D. is instructed
to distribute the Friend gratuitously among
seamen of all nations visiting the port, and
it is to be hoped donors will come forward
with their donations, as in former years.
The Bethel will be sustained by the American Seamen's Friend Society and the cooperation of the friends of the establishment
in Honolulu and among seamen. The usual
annual appropriation of $800 from the New
York Society will be devoted to the support
of the preaching and the sustaining of the
colporteur.
We especially regret leaving just now,
from the fact of the Bethel having recently
become the centre of the Chinese missionary
operations, Mr. Aheong preaching there Sabbath evenings to an audience of over one
hundred of his countrymen. A free school
of twenty scholars has been organized, which
will be taught three evenings each week by
Mr. Dunscombe. Most sincerely we hope
this enterprise will not be suffered to languish
by the good people of Honolulu anil the isl-
ands generally.
A Curious Dream, but Suggestive.—We
recently met the President of Oahu College,
and he remarked that his night visions had
been remarkable. He fancied himself on a
visit to his old Alma Mater, Vale College,
New Haven, and while there enjoying the
kind hospitalities of his old professors, a
wealthy gentleman entered bringing bags of
gold. One after another was deposited upon
the floor. This treasure was for the endowment of a Professorship. But in what college ? " Vale ? " Oh no, but " Oahu College ! " It was furthermore remarkable the
amount of the endowment was $35 000. The
dream so harmonized with our matter-of-fact
plea for Oahu College in our present issue,
that we could not well refrain from publishing it, even without asking our worthy President's permission. '• I had a dream, which
was not all a dream," says Byron, and we
hope our plea for Oahu College may not
prove, in the language of Shakespeare, "such
stuff as dreams are made of."
Term Examination at Oahu College.—
The faculty have commenced holding examinations at the close of each term. These
are even more thorough and exacting than
the annual examination at the close of the
year. Pupils in Ike languages, Latin and
Greek, are furnished with
" printed exercises " for translation, and arc required to
furnish written answers and translations,
without the aid of a dictionary or grammar.
This is after the style of the best schools in
England and America.
Personal.—Some six years ago Joel Bean
and wife visited the Sandwich Islands. They
were members of the Society of Friends.
During their sojourn they became much interested in the Hawaiian people and many
of the mission families. Letters recently received from Mr. Bean indicate that he still
retains a lively interest in this part of the
world. Mr. and Mrs. Bean are now principals of a large school at West Branch, lowa.
An old subscriber on Long Island,
once engaged in the whaling business, desires to subscribe "forever" for the Friend,
and inquires how he shall make remittance.
For his information and that of all other subscribers in the United States, we would say,
send through the post-office United States
postage stamps of 2, 5 and 10 cent value.
It is a source of much gratification that
the " Bethel," the Friend and the " Home "
are all free from debt, and we confidently
hope the friends of seamen anil others will
manifest their good will towards
them in time to come as they have in times

We were gratified Insf Sabbatli morning
by noticing the attendance, at the Stockton
Street Presbyterian Church, of two sailor
boys. Evidently they were just from sea,
judging from their weather-beaten faces, and
hands badly scarred with hard usage, and
clothes just from the"chat," wrinkled anil
soiled. Their red undershirts and general
appearance showed indisputably that they
were tailors. They came to church as worshipers, bringing with them their polyglot
Bible, gilt edged nnd illustrated. They were
familiar, too, with its contents. They followed the pastor in the rending of the Scriplure lesson and in looking for the text, anil
were thankful for the hymn-hook kindly
handed them by a lady in an adjoining pew.
More, they paid close attention to the sermon, nor did they forget their offering to the
Lord when the plate was pawed around.
We would like to know more of the history
ol these two lads. Hut we will venture to
say that they have or had praying mothers,
and that their visit to the house of (>od was
in answer to the prayer of faith. The writer
has a brother who once went down to the
sea in ships, and did business upon the great
waters. He went away from home hardened, intemperate, and with other besetting
sins. His patents mourned and grieved to
part with their Benjamin, but round and
round the world he went, followed by a faithful mother's prayers. Those prayers were
answered. He came back and took up his
residence in one of the Western States, and
after serving a probationary term of two or
three years, returned to his native town, nnd
now for many long years he has been a man
of mark in New York, ami il 10-day at the
head of a banking house in that State. His
aged mother still lives, and he is a source of
rmtCfl happiness nnd comfort to her, now
that she is old and well stricken in yean.
Though upwards of 84 years of age, she still

A lew days ago we met the captain of the
ship " California," now in tins port, live
months from Boston. He is the son of the
Rev. Dr. N. Adams, of the Kssex Street
Congregational Church in Boston. We had
seen him once before in this city, a few years
ago. /Capt. Adams is a very young iimn
still,
very competent, skillful and trustworthy man. He makes his ship a kintl of
floating Bethel. He is an actively religious
man, and secures other oaken mid a crew
m sympathy with himself, when it is practicable. He conducts daily morning and
evening worship in the cabin, holds special
Sunday services, and has a social or Bible
class meeting every Wednesday night. Thus
he carries his church with him to sea, and
offers the blessings and privileges of it to the
little world about him. On tins lust voyage
out he was accompanied by Mr. Lovejoy as

Thus speaks the good old servant "Adam"
in Shakespeare's Comedy of " As You Like

day the ruinous consequences of intemperance were clearly traceable to their known
cause. If men will indulge in the sinful
practice of imbibing all sorts of vile compounds sold under the names of whisky,
brandy, wine, beer, &c., then they should not
complain of pains, aches, sorrows, gout, and
the untold number of ills which those are

While the civil war was raging in the
United States, and vast armies were marching onward to deadly conflict, on the opposite side of the globe there was raging a
warfare vastly more destructive of human
life, and involving the weal or woe of not
merelya few millions,but hundredsof millions
of the human nice. From official reports, it
appears that no less than two millions eight
hundred and seventy-two thousand, five hundred and fifty persons were killed in China
(2,872,550) from August, 1860, to September, 1864, or during a period of only four
years.
There now lies before us a work, in two
large volumes of 842 pages, published in
London in 1866, and beautifully illustrated.
It is printed in superb style, and the large
and clear type is refreshing to a person of
weak eyes. The title of the work is as follows:

Personal Adventures. By Lin-le, formerly Honorary Officer Chung-wang's Guards j Special Agent

out to China and fought on the side of the
revolutionists, somewhat after the same style
that the late British Consul, General Miller,
went out to South America and joined the
army of the revolution, when the reign of
the Spanish Viceroys wss overturned. The
style of this book resembles General Miller's
Memoirs.

in unmeasured language the impolitic course
pursued by the British Government in its interference with the internal affairs of Chins.

Landing and Gettysburg, the sieges of Vicksburg and Richmond, and Sherman's grand
march through Georgia. The sacrifice of
human life alone of the Ti-Ping Revolution
exceeded that of the orcat American Keliellion
as five to one.
The' far reaching results of the Ti-Ping
Revolution have only begun to be developed.
Among those results we regard Burlingame's
Embassy as one. It requires no very deep
insight into Chinese politics and affairs to
ascertain that had not Hung-Sui-Tshuen and
his co-revolutionists brought the Manchoo
dynasty to the verge of ruin, the Emperor ol
China never would have commissioned the
Honorable Mr. Burlingaine to visit America
and the Courts of Europe in the capacity of
an Ambassador Extraordinary.
The careful review of the Ti-Ping Revolution shows what vast changes may be produced, even among so inaccessable a people
as the Chinese, by the dissemination of Bible
truth. '• Behold how great a matter a little
fire kindleth." " For the word of God is
quick and powerful, and sharper than a twoedged sword." " I will overturn, overturn,
overturn it," saith the Lord, "and it shall be
no more, until He comes whose right it is."
Chinese Meetings at the Bethel.
Since the arrival of our Chinese Colporteur, Mr. S. P. Aheong, he has been holding
meetings at the Bethel on the Sabbath, and
occasionally during the week. The Sabbath
evening meetings have been numerously attended. Last Sabbath not less than one
hundred were present, who manifested a
most thoughtful attention to the preaching.
It appears that among Chinese residing in
Honolulu several dialects are spoken, as
they came originally from different parts of
China. Fortunately our Colporteur speaks
at least six of these dialects, and last Sabbath evening made addresses in two. Recently two Chinamen met in a store in Honolulu, and were compelled to converse in the
Hawaiian language, because unacquainted
with each other's dialect. This fact will indicate bow great are the obstacles lying in the
way of laboring for the spiritual and religious
welfare of this interesting people, whose
minds are so quick and alive to the acquisition of new ideas upon all subjects.
We are rejoiced to know that the school
organized by Mr. Bonner is still continued
under the labors of Mr. Tucker. Mr. Aheong
is also teaching. He is endeavoring to organize a singing-school among his countrymen. The time has come when, we hope,
our Chinese population will be effectually
brought within the sympathies and under the
influence of Christians upon the islands.

American Relief Fund.
" For ye have the poor with you always,
mid whensoever ye will ye may do them
good."
Thus spake our Saviour eighteen hundred
years ago, and the truth of this utterance hits
fieen attested by every day's experience since
that time. In older and Christian lands the
laws provide for the poor, and as years roll
away, Hawaiian legislation tends in that direction. Foreigners residing upon these Islands see that there is a propriety in not expecting the Hawaiians in their poverty will
provide for the poor among foreigners ; hence
have arisen various benevolent associations
to care. Ibr those who would not fall under
the protection of sonic consul, or the Masonic
and Odd Fellows Lodges. The Germans
have their " Club,"and the English their
"St. George's Society," which operate within
their legitimate spheres. The oldest voluntary association, however, is the Ladies'
Stranger's Friend Society, which has for
seventeen years held on its way, aiding those
who might appropriately style themselves
'• citizens of the world," but owning allegiance only to the ladies.
Five years ago the " American Relief
Fund Association " wits organized, which
holds its annual meeting on Washington's
Birthday. We desire to call the attention
ofall Americans, not only in Honolulu, but
on all parts of the Hawaiian Islands, to the
importance of vigorously and systematically
sustaining this Fund. A brief report of its
operations during- the past twelve months
will be found in our columns. The pressing
calls upon this Association indicate its necessity and importance. We are not going to
expend our time or waste our ink in arguing
the propriety of all true and well-to-doAmericans subscribing lo this Fund. No American is worthy of the HUM who demurs,
hesitate* or declines subscribing, and yet
there arc residing in Honolulu and elsewhere
on the Islands, many " Fourth of July " and
"spread eagle" Americans, whose names
have never been enrolled among the subscribers to this Fund. Wo now call upon
them, one and nil, lo come forward. Do not
dodge the appeal by the reply that yon are
Hawaiians, but pay your tuxes. So do suh»cril>ers pay their taxes for the support of the
Hawaiian Government. I><> not dodge tbe
appeal by saying, "Oh, we aid privately our
poor friends." So do the subscribers. This
organization does away with those "subscription papers" which were formerly so
freely and frequently circulated. A. J. Cartwright, Esq., our President, assured us at
the late annual meeting thnt for " three
years " no subscription papers; for indigent
Americans had been allutoed circulation in
Honolulu. This is an important point. To

it we cnll attention. Now the business is
done systematically and efficiently. While
the officers of the Association may do their
duty, yet the transaction of the business nnd
the management of the affair has fallen into
the hands of our efficient nnd worthy President, A. J. Curtwright, Esq., whose " labor
of love " has resulted in ■ vast amount of
good. Having Witnessed tbe practical working of the Association, we cannot sjienk in
two flattering terms of our President's BeaJ.
and fidelity. Wo hope the coming year will

Bands of these wandering sons of the desert
now make continual application for employment, and although it frequently takes them
a long lime to get started, still—when they
tlo commence—they labor with a will. It
not unfrcqiieutly occurs that when n contract

THE FRIEND.
MARCH 1. IMIII.
Death of a California Pioneer.
Among our obituary notices will be found
the record of the deuth of Alexander H.
Houston, Esq. His arrival on the coast dates
to the ever memorable year, '49, when so
many of the enterprising young men of
America left their homes in the Eastern
States to lay the foundation and build up a
new State on the Pacific coast. He came
full of ardor and enterprise, and his career
during the last twenty years has been identified with the public works and enterprises
of Californiu. He has stood among the men
of the first rank, commanding the respect and
esteem of his fellow citizens. Having at'
tamed a position, when he fondly hoped to
retire and enjoy in foreign travel the fruits of
his labors in the sharp conflict of life, he
found himself compelled by sickness to seek
a milder clime, hoping thereby to recover his
declining health and energies. God, however, who "seeth not as man seeth," so ordered that he should come among strangers
and end his earthly career. His brief sojourn
in Honolulu was sufficient to enlist the sympathies of friends in his welfare, and a goodly
number assembled lust Sabbath afternoon at
his late residence to pay the last tribute of
respect to his memory. His death will be
mourned among his numerous friends on the
Coast, and his loss severely felt among his
former business acquaintances in San Francisco.
Letters from Honolulu Editors Abroad
We were rejoiced to receive full letters from
our editorial brethren of the Advertiser and
Gazette. The former is still in San Francisco, and writes hopefully respecting the
recovery of his hearing. He may or may
not return per next " Idaho." If by remaining he can recover his hearing, may he remain all summer; but if not, we shall be
most happy soon to welcome him home.
Our letter from Dr. Smith, at Washington, was dated in the early part of January.
He was laboring away at " Reciprocity."
Supposing Mr. Whitney returns with hearing restored, and Dr. Smith with '• reciprocity" achieved, we would suggest that the
U. S. Government send them back on a government vessel, and then let them inaugurate tbe " era of good feeling" among Hono-
luluans!

Then Mr. Doolittle turned to the young man,
and said, "Young man, will you repent?
Young man, will you take up the cross ?
Young man, will you this day begin to serve
Christ ? " God sent power with these words.
The young man stood up before the congregation, and said in un humble tone. Yes,
"
sir, I will.'* That very day was the beginning of eternal life in the young man*s soul.
Reader, depend upon it, the two answers
which Mr. Doolittle got that day are the experience ofall true Christians. Depend upon
it, no man ever repents of repentance. No
man was ever sorry that he served the Lord.
No man ever said, at the end of his days,

damaged her mainmaat so badly that sail
could not l«- carried on it. Capt. Hall immediately went to work and built around the
tottering mast a circle of spare spars, which
he securely lashed and wedged to it, and in
this condition performed the rest of the passago without putting into Kio Janeiro or any
intermediate port for another mast. Capi.
Penhallow, who was then the agent of the
underwriters in Europe, called their attention to the merits of Capt. Hall, and they
promptly responded by making him a present of §600 cash.
Her Majesty's Board of Trade of
London have recently sent, through the British Consul at Philadelphia, a letter to Capt.
J. Head, of Providence, stating thnt the
Board bad awarded to him a telescope, in
recognition of his services in rescuing from
drowning a shipwrecked crew of nine persons, belonging to the British ship Ilelicovc,
on the 13th of March last. The men had
been nine diys without food, and were almost
famished. Capt. Head was at the time master of the bripantiuc Jnmes Baker, hailing
from Philadelphia, and he landed the unfortunate sailors at Gun Key.
A Great Cathedral.—The Roman Cath-
olics of London are about to erect a cathedral that will rival any of the cathedrals of
the Continent. The site selected is in Westminister, near Buckingham .Palace. The
ground alone which it is to occupy has cost
no less than $200,000. It will be the first
recognized Roman Catholic Cathedral in
England since the days of Queen Mary.

A Beautiful
The following is from " Reveries
Bachelor," by Ike Marvel:
" A poor nmn withoursome sort of religion
ib at best n poor reprobate, ihc foot-ball of
destiny, with no tie linking him to infinity
and to the wondrous eternity that is even
worse—a flame without heat, a rainbow
without color, a flower without perfume. A
man may id some sort tic his hopes and his
honors to this weak, shifting ground tackle,
to his business, or the world, but a woman
without that nnchcr called faith, is a drift
and a wreck. A man muyt'lumsily continue
u sort of moral responsibility out of relation
to mankind ; but u woman in her compnranvely isolated sphere, whereaffection nnd no
purpose is the controlling motive, can find no
basis in any other system or right action but
ttint of faith. A iikiii may craze his brain or
lus thought:- to truthfulness, and such poor
harborage as fame and reputation may stretch
before him, but a woman, where can she put
her hopes in storms, if not in heaven ? And
that sweet truthfulness—that abiding love—
that enduring hope, mellowing every page
and scenes of life—lighting them with pleasant radiance, when the world's storms break
like an army with cannon—who can bestow
its all but a holy soul, tied to what is stronger
than an army with cannon ? Who has enjoyed the love of a Christian mother but will
echo the thought with energy and hallow it
with a tear."
The Forged Will.
A few years since, a man of high respectability was tried in England on a charge of
forging a will, in which it was discovered he
had an indirect interest to a large amount.
Samuel Warren, the celebrated author of the
Diary of a Physician," etc., was associated
"with
the Prosecuting Attorney, and the case
wns tried before Lord Dentnan.
The prisoner being arraigned and the formalities gone through with, the prosecutor,
placing his thumb over the seal, held up the
will and demanded of the prisoner if he had
seen the testator sign the instrument; to
which he promptly answered, he had.

MEMORANDA.
Tides at Hitka, Alaska—lK 8. Coast B,prvev»—
In consequenceof the conflicting results given upon cxiiilng
maps In relation to the tides at Milks, the following Information Is published for the benefit of navigators. Russian su
lhorit.es give the rise and full of spring tides at lo to 16 feet.
English authorities, without any observations, ssauins this
datum to be erroneous,and conjecture the figures should be ft
to 7 feet.
The accompanying tide tableexhibita tbe result of Professor
Davidson's observationsfor two rooothi In 1807, comblucd with
other series made In 1866 and 1841. From theobservations of
ISO 7alone the plane of reference, lfr.O feet, was deduced and
used. This table enables the nsvigator to calculate the lime
and heights of every high aud low water with reasonable pre*
cislon. The tides partake of the regular Hacltlc type, and
these of the present day are generally unequal in proportion to
the increase of tbe moon's declination:
