How needful when the vessel is uncontrollable through calms or light winds, and
a strong current is setting in the way of
danger, to have power to repel opposition.
As an instance of the force of the currents in
Micronesia, we might here state that we have
seen a piece of carved wood which was lost
at the wreck of the late Morn ing Star, and
picked up a month afterwards on the island
of Namerick, having been carried during
that period a distance of about 310 miles to
the eastward, and that too against the trade
winds which usually prevail. This happened
between 5 ° and 6 ° north latitude ; while
south of 3 ° north latitude, the current runs
strong (at times) in the opposite direction, as
the following fact proves. Some years ago
a ship was wrecked on Baker's Island, whose
gangway steps were picked up on the island
of Apaiang about six weeks after the loss,
having drifted nearly 600 miles to the westward.
The fact that the English Missionary Society have had vessels wrecked within the
past few years among the islands of the South
Pacific, is additional testimony in favor of
the need of steam power.

THE FRIEND, MARCH. 1870.
The settled principle of the leading
of America is this, that the people must
be educated, in order to maintain the liberty
and privileges of the Republic. Religion and
education are corner-stones of the Republic
of America. Religion must be supported by
the i;o{triit'tn/ efforts of the people, while the
State must educate the people, in co-operation with private enterprise. Wherever we
travel in the old State of Massachusetts, we
find new, commodious and handsome common school houses. The whole people seem
to be alive to the subject of education. From
the window where we are now sitting in
Summer street, Worcester, we hear and see
the sound of hundreds of school boys and
cirls connected with one of the public schools
of the city. It is pleasant lo listen to their
morning and evening devotional exercises,
but particularly their "songs of praise."

last of the mohegans.
Fennimore Cooper astonished the literary
world some years ago by his historical romance, entitled, the "Lastof the Moheguns."
That book has passed into the list of the
classical romances of America. It hits been
perused extensively not only by English
readers throughout the world, but has been
translated into most of the modern languages
of Europe. The Mohegans of romance may
delight by their daring bravery and wonderful powers of Indian endurance, but after all
Cooper's work is essentially fictitious, although founded upon the leading facts of
history. Only a few rods from the spot
where 1 am now writing stands a monument
to UnCOS, so famous both in real history and
romance. The foundation-stone of the present monument was laid by General Jackson,
late President of the United States. On the
original monumental slab there was a poetic
inscription, concluding thus :
ers, who should labor among them. In 1851
we visited the settlement in company with
this gentleman, and yesterday, Sept. 26th,
that privilege we again enjoyed.
The following facts relating to the " Last
of the Mohegans " we obtained from the
Key. C. F. Muzzy, who is now pastor of the
Mohegan Church. The Mohegan land
reservation is located about five or six miles
south of the city of Norwich, and embraces
2,500 acres. This is held by the United
Suites Government, and cannot be alienated
without authority from the Government at
Washington. In addition, the Government
appropriates the sum of $450 for the purpose
of providing for the moral and religious instruction of the people. The Rev. Mr. Muzzy
was formerly a missionary of the American
Board at Madjura, India, but was compelled
to return on account of ill health. He appears highly qualified for his present field of
labor.
The present number connected with the
settlement is a little less than one hundred.
Only a few are of purely Indian descent.
At the Sabbath-school forty-seven were present on the 26th of September, including
adults and youth. The church numbers
eighteen. The Sabbath-school is under the
efficient management of a delegation of
young men belonging to the Young Men's
Christian Association of Norwich.
During our visit we learned that there
was living in the settlement a great granddaughter of the Rev. Sansom Occum, whose
name has become quite historical in the
annals ofthe missionary and religious movements of the last century. He preached not
only in America, but quite extensively in
England, and once by special invitation before King George Hid. We have somewhere met with the statement that he

American people are coming to understand
that the people must have days of recreation
and festivity, hence every well wisher in the
community is solicitous that these seasons of
relaxation and recreation from labor and toil
shall not be attended with scenes of riot and
dissipation.
As the closing and remarkable event of
the County Fair at Norwich, there was a
balloon ascension, which is well described in
the following paragraphs from the Norwich
Daily Bulletin of September 25th, (and it
was our privilege to witness the ascension):
" James Allen, the aeronaut, was on hand
with his balloon at eleven o'clock, and it was
taken to the centre of the ground. Pleasantly remarking that James Allen was no
humbug, (which he isn't), at a few minutes
liefore twelve he stepped into Ihe car with his
son, gracefully bid the crowd adieu, and
sailed upward in the Empyrean.' At the
altitude of about 1,500 feet he detached a
parachute to which was attached a kitten,
which found its way to earth just outside
the enclosure without injury. The air ship
then sailed toward the city, and then meeting a north-easterly current, settled and
floated off to the southward and westward.
The intrepid navigator discharged some of
his ballast, and the balloon again rose and
started towards the city, watched by an interested crowd at the grounds until it rose
above the clouds and was lost to view. It
then slowly descended over the cove, was
again lightened, and finally descended on the
farm of Peter Laninan at Norwich Town,
after a voyage of about an hour and a halt.
Daniel S. Guile followed the balloon, and
brought it in good order with the aeronaut to
this city. W. A. Hurlburt, Thomas Dawson
and O. P. WattlesTendered Prof. Allen considerable service in landing. Mr. Allen, who
is the same gentleman who made an ascension at a fair of the New London County
Society September 30, 1659, has made over
two hundred ascensions, having been employed by the United States Government to
reconnoitre for the army of the James, and
afterwards by the Brazilian Government during the siege of Humaita, Paraguay. He
has never met with a serious accident, and
is one of the most accomplished aeronauts in
the world. His ascension to-day was exceedingly beautiful, and was a treat not only
to those on the ground, but to nearly everybody in this vicinity."

the ocean have for centuries made all their,
calculations and cast up their reckonings according to Greenwich time, we cannot but
look upon Greenwich Observatory as one of
the most remarkable places on our globe. O
with what wonderful accuracy observations
are now taken ! With intense delight we
listened to Mr. Stone's explanations of the
method employed to note down the passage
of a star as it passed the transit instrument.
We witnessed the method as three or four of
his young assistants observed the sun's passage across the meridian line. Then, too,
how wonderful the system of noting down
the observations by means of electro-magnetic
agency!
Mr. Stone referred to his observations and
experiments for the purpose of determining
whether heat is imparted to our globe from
the fixed stars. He expressed the opinion
that such was the case. We have seen in
some recent scientific publication the same
fact stated by some eminent astronomer.
The idea at the first glance appears incredible, but yet we are assured that the fact can
be demonstrated by actual experiment. This
is truly wonderful.
We noticed with interest the various
methods and contrivances for noting the
rapidity with which' wind travels, and also
the method of registering thermomctrical and
barometrical observations. Electro-magnetism appears to be brought to play an important part in enabling the astronomer and
philosopher to carry forward his experiments.
Near the door leading into the Observatory
is a large magnetic clock, which measures
off timewith most wonderful accuracy. With
this clock is connected a system of magnetic
wires, extending into London, and from
thence with all the cities and sea-ports of
England and Scotland. Thus the time of
England is regulated by the Observatory, on
the top of which there is a contrivance by
which said magnetic clock elevates a large
ball on a pole about ten feet high. This ball
is some three feet in diameter, painted black.
By means of a galvanic current, this'ball is
elevated and let fall at precisely one o'clock
each day. We learned that this method was
adopted for the purpose of giving information
to shipmasters sailing down the Thames on
their outward bound voyages. They could
thus at the very last moment before leaving
the shores of England ascertain Greenwich
time.
Many puzzle themselves about the
origin of moral evil. It is enough for us to
know that there is evil, and that there is a
wav to escape it. The gospel of Christ
makes known that way.
There is one single fact which one
may oppose to all the wit and argument of
infidelity—namely, that no man ever repented being a Christian on his death-bed.
Extracts from the Report of Rev. J. F.
Pogue, Delegate of the Hawaiian Board
of Missions to Micronesia in 1869.
It has been my privilege, as well as duty,
made so by a vote of the Hawaiian Board of
Missions, to visit their Missions in the three
groups of islands, viz : the Gilbert, or King's
Mill, the Marshall, and the Caroline, of Micronesia. To carry out the designs of the
Hawaiian Board, the brig Morning Star,
Capt. Tengstrom, left Honolulu on the Bth
of July, 1869, having on board the largest reinforcement of Hawaiian missionaries which
has been sent to those Missions. Our voyage
to the Gilbert Group was a quick and prosperous one. There are 15 islands in this
group, 8 of which are north, and 7 south of
the line ; supposed to have a population of
30,000. The Hawaiian Board have occupied
four of these, with a population, as taken by
our missionaries, of 15,000. These are Tapiteuea, or Drummond's Island, en the south
of the line ; Tarawa, Apaiang and Butaritari on the north. The first island at which
we were to stop was
Tapiteuea.
We made that place on the 27th of July,
19 days from Honolulu. Here, at the request of the Hawaiian Board, I will intro-
duce some extracts from the report of the
Rev. H. Bingham. Jr., Delegate of the Hawaiian Board to the Gilbert islands in 1868 :
The general meeting of the Gilbert Island
"Mission
was organized on the 3d of August,
1868. # * * In accordance with the.suggestion of the Hawaiian Board, they decided
to take a new station upon Tapiteuea.
* * *
You will remember the account of our visit
at that island last year (1867), and the wide
door which we found open to us there. Last
year we landed on the north end, and as our
time was limited, we only went up the island
some two miles. Upon our recent visit we
explored some eight miles farther south, and
determined to locate the Mission more centrally than could have been possible had we
yielded to the earnest wish of the inhabitants
of the north end that we should land our missionary brethren and their families with
them. * * * The station was located in the
newly explored part, though the people at
the north felt that they had a special claim,
as they had been first asked if they would
receive missionaries." Missionary Herald
for April, 1869, page 131.
On our arrival at Tapiteuea we found the
Mission families well, and prosecuting their
work with energy and a good degree of success. The island is 30 miles long, and lies
in a N. W. and S. E. direction, with 15 large
towns, and a population of6,200, as taken by
the missionaries, the Rev. Messrs. Kapu and
Leleo. There are 12 immense houses on
the island, used for general purposes ol consultation, dancing, feasting, &c. These are
now used as places of worship. Mr. Bingham says in his report, " There is no one
king of the. whole island, but each district
seems to be governed by its more important
elderly men or land-holders." The people
are degraded, debased, shameless. Men,
boys and girls go about perfectly naked, while
the women wear a pa-u around their loins.
Our missionaries had occupied the field 10
—
21
months when we arrived. The people have
outwardly forsaken their ancient worship ;
abolished their taboos ; given up the hula, a
licentious dance, and become teetotalers j the
schools are crowded ; the congregations large.
On the 13th of September, 1868, a few of
the people began to cast away those things
which were esteemed sacred. On the 11th
of October of the same year Kapu preached
on the character of the true God, and of the
sin of worshiping other things called gods.
At that meeting some old men proposed to
cast away these vanities. Many consented
to do so ; others opposed. One old man said
to Kapu, " The gods will take vengeance on
you ; they are angry ; you will die." This
man has since cast away the sacred things
in which he trusted, and is now numbered
with the reformers. Mr. Kapu told them to
consider well what they were about to do.
If they really thought that these things, in
which they had so long trusted, were vanities—powerless to help or punish, then cast
them away; but if they still feared them,
then continue to do as they had done, and
brave the fury of Jehovah, who has said,
" Thou shalt have no other gods besides me."
During the next week, from the 11th to
the 18th of October, 320 of these sacred
things, such as stones, branches of trees, besmeared with oil, trees, fish, birds, &c., were
destroyed, and the majority of the people became outwardly the worshipers of Jehovah.
They deliberately chose Him as their God.
One of the things regarded with much
superstition was a large mamani tree near
to the houses of the Mission. By measure,
I found this tree to be 35 feet in circumference at about one foot above the ground.
This tree was taboo. No one was permitted
to pass or sit under its shade. To it they
carried offerings of cocoanuts, fish, hala fruit,
Sec.
January Ist, 1869, three thousand per-
sons, old and young, male and female, met
under, around and upon this tree to keep, as
the missionary expressed it, their first happy
new year. An examination of the schools
was held at that time. Sixty persons recited
the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer,
read in the books prepared for them, and sang
some of the songs of Zion as translated by
Mr. and Mrs. Bingham. This tree has since
been given to Mr. Kapu. He has purchased
one-half of the land upon which it stand?,
and hopes to be able to obtain the other half.
Two tours have been made by the missionaries around the island. In these tours they
have been followed by multitudes from place
to place as they preached the Gospel in all
the large towns. One hundred and fifty can
read fluently in the Gospels, Acts and Ephesians, besides a great number who can read
and spell in the spelling-book.
July 30th, 1869, we attended an examination of schools in one of the large council
houses. Our hearts went out in thanksgiving to God for what our eyes saw, and ears
heard. The pupils of the different school.'-',
of which there are three, read very well.
150 men, boys, women and girls recited the
Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and
answered questions from the Catechism.
They also sung several hymns. The missionaries, with their patrons, have great reason to thank God for the past, and take courage for time to come. A good beginning has
been made. May the Lord give to our

Activity in earthly things is not inconsistent with true piety. Right industry,
light enterprise and right ambition in these
do not stand in the way of religion. They
are not only perfectly harmonious with it,

we tried to speak her she madeall sail and scud away.wrecked
At Drummond'l Islsrid there was a topsail schooner
on the southwest point sbout the 16th of July, hot we could not
learn her name. The missionaries had inquired,but they would

wreck for $600, taking away with him seventeen sails, two
boats complete, a urge quantity of other gear, and left four
men lo save what they could. Capt. Brown and part of the
crew left for Ascension In the Water Lily.
January, 1869, the chiefs ofthe Rsdack Chain left Jelluit on
their way to Namcrick, and touched at Kill en route. There
they found two canoes, nineteen men and women, natives of
some islands to the westwsnl, of which the name could not be
the betelascertained. Their teeth were blackened by eating complexion
nut, they had woolly hair, and were of s darker been

than the people ofthe MarshallIslands. They had
live months, and fetched Kill. On the departure of the Marshall Island canoes for Namerick, these strangers went with
them, and were divided In different canoes, having previously
been deprived of theirproperty, whloh was considerable, consisting of four brass swivels, powder, earthenware vessels,
clothing, etc. During s calm the strange chiefand nine others

Having traveled" upon the railroads of CalAltogether, Hilo is in a happy tnood ; anxious with
earliest to buckle on the harness, and grapple
ifornia, crossed liy rail from the Pacific to
the responsibilities and obligations of the New sear,
Kingdom,

to advance the great mils of the Master's
and to promote the highest good of all.

that the
We give tlic items in substance, premising
foreign lislswl is under the pastoral cure of Rev.
Frank Thompson :
We liiul a very delightful gathering on Christmas
and New Year ; ths foreign church was tastefully
decorated by the skill of some of the young people.
wag
A Christmas service, held in the foreign church,
very largely attended ; the eyes of all were feasted
by the artistic arrangement of evergreens and flnwers ; the music and singing were excellent. Our
new cabinet organ, the gift of friends at home, is a
very sweet toned instrument, and just what we want
in our church ; and the fair organist understands
how to present it, in its most acceptable strains.
Several short addresses made by the brethren were
much appreciated. But Mr. W. H. Reed elicited the
I
most applause, when he rose nnd remarked :
have but few words to say, and wish to reverse the
so
far
have
been
order of things. All the speeches
addressed to the audience, I wish to address a few
words to our pastor." So saying, he faced about,
and in a few, but appropriate words, presented him,
on behalf of the people, with $f>2o, as a Christmas
gift. This present was contained in a handsomely
wrought silk purse, bearing the pastor's initials on
one end, and the year 1869 on the other, handsomely
executed by the hands of one of the ladies. Tho
church have raised their pastor's salary to $1400 a
year ; and there have been collected over $800 in
addition for charitable objects, during the past year.
The Hiloites believe in the grace of giving. When
it is stated that there are but 18 members in the
church, you will see that the congregation must
have put their hands to this work in an unusual degree. The pews, 22 in number, rented this year for
$1500, 17 of them only being rented. They are,
however, all fully occupied on the Sabbath.
The services on New Year were held in Bey. Mr.
Coon's church, and were very enjoyable. Addresses
were made by several gentlemen, among whom was
the Bey. Chas. Hervey, sn English clergyman, who
has endeared himself to our people very muoh, by
his simplicity of manners, and earnestness of heart ;
he conducted the services of the church of F.ngtand,

due on Home account, which debt was
promptly canceled by the Trustees present.
The following officers were elected for 1870 :

in
the idea of the vast change which has come
over the community during the last thirty <>r
forty years. The habits of the people have
entirely changed. Railroad travel has created a vast social as well as commercial revoliltion. Multitudes travel from the Kasi
to the West, the North to the South, who
would never have thought of going but a few
miles from home, unless it could be done by
railroad conveyance. The extremes of the
country are thus brought together. The effect will be good upon society. But the
amount of business done upon the railroads
is perfectly incredible to those who have not
examined the subject. Long trains of freight
cars are seen passing and repassing continually. Soon the people of New England
will be luxuriating upon the grapes and other
fruits of California.
What is most surprising, all this momentous change has been brought about during
the last forty years—a very short period,
comparatively, in the nation's and the world's
history. Our readers will peruse with interest the following paragraphs relating to
the progress of railroads. They are copied
from a late number of "Appleton's Journal."
The success of railway locomotion, however, dates from the Liverpool experiments
in October, 1829. The favorite plan for
drawing trains was by stationary engines,
and it was proposed to divide the railway between Liverpool and Manchester into nineteen stages, of about a mile and a half each,
with twenty-one engines, fixed at the different points, to work the trains forward. Not

George Stephenson, and spacious, churches of great architectural
beauty and finish are in process of erection,
while private residences are going up in all
parts of the newly made grounds and the
surrounding villages. It is estimated that at
least 40,000 of the merchants, professional
men and laborers leave the city every night
nnd return in the morning. This fact is
working a vast revolution in the society and
business community of Boston. The older
portions of the city are becoming more and
more devoted to stores and large storq-houses,
while the inhabitants are literally compelled
to seek residences in the surrounding country. The influence of this migration upon
the churches is most perceptible. Those in
the suburbs are thereby becoming large and
however, strongly advocated the locomotive
system, and it was at length decided to make
a trial of it. A prize of twenty-five hundred
dollars was offered for a locomotive, weighing no more than six tons, which would draw
twenty tons ten miles an hour with but fifty
pounds per inch pressure of stenm, and costing but two thousand seven hundred and
fifty dollars. The project and the conditions
were thought to be preposterous. An eminent gentleman of Liverpool, afterward inspector of steam-packets, said that only a
parcel of charlatans would ever have issued
such it set of conditions ; that it had been
proved to be impossible to make a locomotive engine go at ten miles an hour; but, if
it ever was done, lie would undertake to eat
a stewed engine-wheel for his breakfast!
Four engines were entered for the trial
The favorite was Captain Ericsson's " Novelty," which was light and compact in appearance, and had this intelligible quality
about it, that the air was forced through the
fire by means of bellows. The successful
engine was the " Rocket" of George Stephenson. At the first trial it ran twelve
miles in fifty-three minutes ; at the final test
it drew its load at the rate of twenty-nine
miles an hour, and, when running alone, it
reached thirty-live miles an hour. Mr. Smiles
says that " the entire performance excited
the greatest astonishment among the assembled spectators; the directors felt confident
that their enterprise was now on the eve of
success ; and Gcoree Stephenson rejoiced to
think that, in spite of all false prophets and
fickle counsellors, the locomotive system was
now safe. When the Rocket, having performed all the conditions of the contest, arrived at the ' grand stand ' at the close of the
day's successful run, Mr. Cropper—one of
the directors favorable to the fixed-engine
system—lifted up his hands and exclaimed,
' Now has George Stephenson at last delivered himself!' "
The Rocket was at length replaced by
heavier engines, and was sold in 1837, and
used for four or five years to haul coals.
There was, however, wonderful vitality in it,
and on one occasion, when employed to transmit the results of an election, it ran upward
of four miles in four minutes and a half. It
is now in the Kensington Museum of London.
BOSTON AND SUBURBS.
After an absence of seventeen years, it is
pleasant to revisit the far-famed Athens of
America, or the " Hub of the Universe."
Boston people are rather proud ofthese soubriquets. These are indicative of her importance and comparative standing among
tbe cities of the world. Boston is a growing
city. At present the desire appears to be to
embrace all the surrounding suburbs under
the one city charter. When this is accomplished, and Charlestown, Jamaica Plains,
Cambridge, Newton and other towns are annexed, Boston will have become no mean
city in territorial dimensions and the number of its inhabitants. While it is thus growing in size, it is also improving in appearance. The streets are now being widened,
public edifices are becoming more elegant
important, the same as are the churches of
Brooklyn, which are mostly composed of
persons doing business in New York city.
It is not uncommon for merchants to visit
Boston and New York during the business
part of ihe day, and return to their families
living twenty, thirty and even filty miles
away. This fact suggests a reference to the
railroads, which are now becoming so important an element in American life and
business. Everybody travels by railroads.
The cars are always crowded. Considering
the vast number traveling, the accidents are
very few.
If there is a propriety in calling Boston
the " Hub," then should railroads be styled
the spokes. They radiate in every direction.
To the beholder, on the State House or the
summit of Bunker Hill Monument, at all
hours, may be seen long railroad trains going
out and returning, while the beautiful harbor
is alive with shipping. We wonder writers
have not more frequently described the
beauty of the harbor of Boston, dotted with
small islands, and surrounded with growing
villages and towns. Last Monday morning,
while viewing Boston and suburbs from the
summit of Bunker Hill Monument, we really
thought that in all our travels, we never had
beheld any region more picturesque and
beautiful. It was at a season when the
country around is clothed in the richest verdure, and the fields are burdened with an
overflowing harvest. The busy hum of city
life rises on every side—all is animation and
labor. Connected with all this stir and bustle there are multitudes of happy homes.
We have been spending a day or two at
Captain Brewer's delightful residence at
Jamaica Plains. This town is one of several—Brookline, Roxbury, Newton, Dedham—all of which are made up of the most
charming suburban villas imaginable. A
drive among these homes and haunts impresses the mind most agreeably with the
thrift, industry, sobriety and intelligence °i
the inhabitants. There is an air of refine-
ment, culture and cheerfulness which indicate a degree of comfort and luxury, which
lias required h period of two hundred years
lo bring to the present degree of perfection.
The people of Boston and vicinity believe
in " granite." Stores, store-houses, public
edifices and even private dwellings are built
of this solid material, both hewn and rough.
All public works requiring durability and
strength are invariably constructed of granite. Last evening, returning from a pleasant
drive through Brookline, we visited the new
reservoirs which are in process of construction at enormous expense. Thousands of
laborers have been at work for two or three
years upon these public works. When they
are finished they will resemble in magnitude
the public works of the old Roman world.
With the increase of wealthand inhabitant-.
the minds ofthe leading and public spirited
men in the community are alive to the importance of improving the city in its external
appearance. It is gratifying to know that
with these indications of growth the interests of education and religion are not
neglected. At present much attention is paid
to the building of new, elegant and commodious school-houses. Some of the finest
buildings in Boston and suburbs are schoolhouses. These are called after public men—
Elliot, Prescott, Everett, Lincoln ; but from
what we can learn, the minds of the educators of the land are as yet too must asleep
to the importance of looking after the physical training of the young. There has doubtless been some improvement since a certain
writer in the "Atlantic Monthly " came out
with his views on the " Murder of the boocents." The public attention cannot be too
much nroused upon this subject. So long as
Boston takes the lead in educational matters,
and her public men are determined to push
forward the subject of primary education, it
is of immense importance that correct views
shall be put forth upon not only the mental
but physical training and education of the
young.
We have not as yet visited Cambridge and
her University, but reserve our visit to tha
ancient seat of learning situated among th
suburbs of Boston, until professors and stu
dents shall return from their summer vaca

visit.

THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1870.
Editor's Notes and Reflections while Passing
Along through the Old World.
Number 1,
"
I had a dream, which waa not all a dream."—Byron.
It Was a youthful dream of ours that we
might some time visit the Old World, but
the prospect of its realization appeared for a
long period quite improbable. Here we are,
however, in England, and have passed
through the very heart of the country and
the centre of London in coming to this place,
Buckhurst, near Wokingham, Berks. Before describing this beautiful spot, we shall
briefly refer to our journey by sea and land
in coming hither:
We had an exceedingly pleasant passage
on board tho Minnesota to Liverpool. Eleven
days were we in crossing the Atlantic, the
same we were on our passage from Honolulu
to San Francisco. Allowing eight days for
railroad travel from San Francisco to New
York, just thirty days were occupied on the
passage from Honolulu to London.
The tide being favorable, our steamer entered one of the commodious and substantial
docks of Liverpool on the 7th of November.
These docks are truly wonderful, extending
for miles along the city frontage, and afford
ample room for ships and steamers from all
parts of the world. We found the custom
house officers remarkably civil, and they allowed our trunks to pass unopened upon our
simple assertion that they contained no'articles of merchandise. Soon after landing we
found our way to the Washington Hotel, the
very name presenting some attractions for
us so recently from the land claiming him
as the Father of his country. We found the
accommodations good, and the house the
resort of many Americans.
Arriving upon the Sabbath, it was exceedingly pleasant to pass through quiet and orderly streets;—stores all closed, the noise
and'din of business hushed, and multitudes
apparently going and returning from church.
In the evening we attended service at the
Congregational Church, where the late Rev.
Dr. Raffles officiated for so many years,
whose fame is so widely extended among the
good of other lands. He died in 1863, having for fifty years preached the gospel in
Liverpool. A marble bust of his noble form
has been erected in the vestibule of the
church. We listened to an excellent sermon,
delivered by the Rev. Mr. Pearson, the pres.'ent pastor. Ho. spoke extemporaneously,
and conducted the service very much after
the style of Congregational worship in the
United States. It was the communion season of, the church, and it was exceedingly
pleasant for us on first landing in England
to mingle with Christians around the Table
of our Common Lord and Saviour, and sing
with them,
let us join our cheerful songs.
" Come
With angels round the throne," 4c.
Having but a single day to spend in Liverpool, we improved it for visiting tho Public Library and the Museum, both of which
were free to the public, and well worthy of
the attention of a visitor to the city. St.
George's Hall we found to be truly a noble
structure, and the audience room such as to
merit the remark that it was one of the very
best and largest in England. We also paid
our respects to R. C. Janion, the Hawaiian
Consul.
On the morning of November 9th we left
Liverpool at 7:20 in the rain, and passed
through the country at a rapid rate, reaching London a little after 12 o'clock. On our
arrival in this great city of three millions,
we immediately crossed over the Waterloo
Bridge to the railroad station, from which we
started for Buckhurst, situated about thirty
miles west of the city. Here we received a
cordial welcome from our fellow-residents at
Honolulu, Mr. and Mrs. Waterhousp, with
whom we had been fellow-travelers; across
the American Continent on the Pacific Railroad. We found him living in'quite the
style of an English gentleman of'the olden
time. The mansion is surrounded by grounds
handsomely laid out, with a beautiful lawn
stretching out in front, and surrounded by an
extensive park, where he is occasionally to
be seen with his fowling-piece cautiously
pursuing the hare and the pheasant, and frequently rewarded in a manner to rejoice a
huntsman's pride. Buckhurst is situated
about ten miles from Windsor Castle, and
this region we were informed is considered
the very garden of England. It is indeed a
beautiful spot.
OUR FIRST WEEK IN ENGLAND.
Caisar'x Camp,—We really commenced
our sight-seeing in England at a remarkable
spot, where tradition reports Julius Caesar
once encamped with his Roman army. It is
situated about four or five miles from Buckhurst. We were accompanied thither by
Mr. and Mrs. Waterhouse and Judge Austin. We found the line of entrenchment
much more clearly defined than we anticipated. The camp must have been a mile in
length and a half mile in width, on an uneven ground. At present it is covered with
a growth of pines, but there is no difficulty
in tracing the outline of the camp. In some
places the ditch is fifteen or twenty feet deep.
This is only one of the many remains of
Roman attempts to conquer England during
the century prior to the Christian era.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE GEORGE PEAIIODY.
We came to London on the morning of
the 12th of November to attend the funeral
of Mr. Peabody in Westminster Abbey. Perhaps there is no edifice in England which an
American desires so much to visit as this ancient Abbey, around which cluster so many
historic associations, and where repose so
many of England's illustrious dead. It
awakened feelings of a peculiar nature, that
our first visit to that time-renowned structure
should be to pay the last tribute of respect to
an American citizen born in our native State.
It was difficult to realize the simple fact that
the remains of a fellow-citizen from America
were to be borne thither with all the solemn
pomp and ceremony with which royalty and
the Established Church could invest the occasion.
Having received complimentary tickets of
admission, we were present in season to witness the procession as it entered and passed
around the interior of the Abbey. Our readers will have seen full newspaper reports of
this day's proceedings long before these paragraphs will have reached Honolulu, hence
our notice will be brief.
The charts and singing were performed in
cathedral style, and all the gorgeous ceremonials were in harmony with the place, the
edifice and the occasion. With much solemnity the coffin was lowered inio tho
" narrow cell," around" which were gathered
many of the nobility of England. We noticed the Prime Minister, Mr. Gladstone,
standing beside our American Minister, Mr.
Motley. The vast concourse observed the
most profound silence, and manifested the
deepest interest while the solemn scene was
being enacted. On the Sabbath following
this funeral ceremony, sermons were preached
in many'of the London pulpits, referring to
the death of Mr. Peabody. We should have
attended at the Abbey, where the Bishop of
London preached a sermon with reference
to him, had we not seen it announced
that the Rev. Newman Hall would preach
upon the same theme at St. James' Hall.
We availed ourself of the privilege of being
present at that place of gathering. The Hall
is estimated to hold 3,500, and we can testify
that the larse edifice was filled to its utmost
capacity. The sermon of Mr. Hall was worthy of the subject and the occasion. In it
the preacher sustained his reputation as one
of the most eloquent pulpit orators of London.
The Queen, the Government and people,
of England have appeared to vie with each
other in bestowing respect to the memory of
Mr. Peabody. His name has become a
household word among all classes, both rich
and poor. This is the more surprising, as
Mr. Peabody was simply an American citizen, without titles, and never having sought
political or literary preferment. He is most
frequently spoken of as the American philanthropist, a most truly honored title. When
his remains shall have been borne across the
Atlantic on board a British vessel of war,
�THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY,
convoyed by several national American vessels, all will have been done that two great
nations could unitedly have done to honor a
rich man who gave away his wealth for the
benefit of the poor while he was living.
VISIT TO THE POET'S CORNER.
The most sacred and consecrated spot in
Westminster Abbey is that of the " Poet's
Comer," where are monuments and inscriptions to the poets of England. A writer in
the London Time", giving an account of the
funeral of Mr. Pafbody, remarked: "The
mourners having withdrawn into the Jerusalem chamber, preparatory to rejoining their
carriages, the rest of the congregation were
admitted to see the coffin, and the largf
crowd dispersed, but very gradually, the
Americans present, being apparently anxious
to avail themselves of the opportunity to
gaze leisurely at the monuments in the nave
and the transepts of the Abbey."
We were among the Americans referred
to in this paragraph, and can truly say our
desire was intense to gaze upon the tomb of
Shakespeare, Milton, and the other illustrious poets, whose writings have become the
common inheritance of all English speaking
and reading Anglo-Saxons throughout the
world. We shall not soon forget the kind
attentions of Mr. H. I. Cutmur, of the Morning Pout, through whose kindly offices we
gained admittance to the " Poet's Corner,"
even after the janitor had locked the door.
Although our time was limited, yet we had
a good opportunity for reading many of the
inscriptions, and, if possible, we hope to revisit this spot before finally quitting the
shores of England, when we shall furnish
our readers with a more detailed account.
REMARKABLE CHURCHES AND HISTORICAL PLACES
OF LONDON.
Perhaps there is no city in the w;orld
where an American finds more to interest
him than in this great metropolis. Already
have we visited St. Paul's, the glory of England, as St. Peter's is the glory of Rome.
The dome of St. Paul's is truly magnificent.
We hope to find timefor a visit to the church
of Henry Vllth, reported to be the finest
specimen of church architecture in England.
While some churches- are thus renowned,
others certainly are far behind what we had
expected. The Rev. Dr. Cummings, in
" Crown Court," preaches in a church edifice
which needs a most thorough rebuilding.
The seats are most uncomfortable; backs
without any inclination, pews narrow, and
aisles most inconvenient. Surely a preacher
of such celebrity deserves a better building
when he preaches to one of the most intelli-1 gent and aristocratic audiences gathered in
London.
The Tower and the British Museum are

weeks and months studying the history of
England and the world. Only think of being
conducted over the Tower by a guide dressed
in the style of a man of Henry Vlllth'stime,
and of visiting the room where Sir Walter
Raleigh was imprisoned ! seeing the mailclad armor worn by the warriors of successive
reigns of the kings of England five hundred
years ago ! gazing upon the crown jewels of
the British Empire ! taking in your hand the
thumb-screws which caused some poor prisoner to cry out in the anguish of his soul!
laying your head upon the block where Mary
Queen of Scots was beheaded ! and of wandering through a tower built by William the
Conqueror in the eleventh century, or eight
hundred years ago.
The British Museum is the place of all
others in London for the man of science, literature and history. "Of books there is no
end ; of specimens of natural history there
is enough, one would suppose, to satisfy an
Agassiz. Of autographs, some remarkable
specimens, including those of Shakespeare,
Milton, Pope, Byron, and all the kings and
queens of England for a thousand years.
Then, too, there is the original copy of the
Masriia Charta. There we saw Milton's
watch, whose dial he watched while he wrote
of the Fall of Angels, before all time ! The
collection of Egyptian relics and curiosities
is very remarkable. That of Grecian and
Roman equally so, but those of Nineveh, collected by Layard, surpass all. We have read
his books, and heard much about the discoveries of Nineveh, but in the language of the
Queen of Sheba, we must exclaim, "the half
was not told me."

Heroic Consuls.
The following interesting and exciting
narrative is extracted from the Jamaica
tiiiardian, to which it was furnished by a
correspondent who recently escaped from Santiago dc Cuba, where he was persecuted by
the Spanish volunteers in consequence of
being suspected as " a Cuban sympathizer."
Mr. Ramsden, the Consul, being wellknown and greatly respected in Kingston,
the subject has been one of general conversation, while his heroic conduct has called forth
expressions of universal admiration. The
narrative runs thus:
A poor unfortunate seaman had been apprehended on a charge of being implicated
in n filibustering expedition, and he was
thrust in;o prison, and afterwards condemned
to be shot, on evidence as unlikely and improbable as any one could conceive. He was
an American, tbe son of English parents,
and notwithstanding the strenuous efforts on
the part of the English and American Consuls, the Spanish authorities seemed determined to sacrifice this poor man's life. On
the morning appointed for his execution he
was marched out to the usual place, amidst
a great show of bloody solemnity. He was
immediately followed by Mr. Ramsden, Brit-
ish Vice Consul, and the American Vice
Consul, to make a still further protest in the
prisoner's favor.
Mr. Ramsden read the document, protesting in the name of England and America,
declaring that the prisoner was altogether
innocent of the charge which had been laid
against him, demanding his immediate release, and declaring if the unfortunate man s
life was taken, those who took it would be
guilty of murder, and would be alike answerable to the governments of England and
the United States of America. During tho
reading of this document, which was done
with calmness and determination, the prisoner fainted from excitement, nnd there were
strong signs of impatience on the part of the
Spanish troops, who manifested a thorough
determination to force the authorities to take
this man's life in spite of all remonstrance.
A consultation followed, and Mr. Ramsden
and the American Consul were eventually
informed that their remonstrance came too
late; the prisoner had already been sentenced
to death for having taken up arms against
Spain, and that the sentence must be carried
into effect. With this the order was given
to the firing party to " present." It was the
work of an instant, and Mr. Consul Ramsden
and the American Consul, rushing with the.
flags of their respective nations before the
leveled rifles of the Spanish troops, and
in front of the unfortunate man, shouted
"Hold!" And, throwing the English flag
around himself and the prisoner, and addressing the officer in charge of the firing party,
said, " Gentlemen, as a Consul of Her Britannic Majesty, I can not stand silently by
nnd see this foul murder of an innocent man.
It is my duty to protect his life, and if you
lake his, you must take it through these !
placing himself immediately in front of the
condemned seaman, his eyes sparkling, while
his manly form heaved with the indignation
his speech had so heroically expressed.
The American Consul, wrapped in the
and Stripes " of the Union, stood

"
abreast, and for some moments the Spaniards
stobd aghast, the conduct of these two Consuls being more than they could comprehend.
The emotion of the prisoner was extreme ;
he was supported, right and left, by the Consuls, and the poor fellow shed a profusion of
tears from weariness and excitement. A
consultation was again held, and the prisoner marched back to jail under an escort of
troops, the Consuls supporting the unfortunate man all the way along. The furore was
beyond description. After dark the prisoner
was reprieved, and finally shipped off the
country through the indefatigable exertions
of the Consuls. London Jit raid.

Richard Weaver ofLondon, thefamous
lay preacher to the poor, is becoming almost
■as famous in England as Whitfield was a 130
years ago. He lately made a preaching tour
in the country, and preached, among other
places, at Ascot, where people came from all
the surrounding country to hear him, some
coming 16 and 20 miles. " The whole congregation listened with great attention, many
standing with streaming eyes, as he spoke of
what he himself had witnessed of the power
of the Gospel." Invitations crowded upon
him far beyond his power to accept.

What war is there that has nothing to depress? nothing to animate? and that does
not furnish a diversity of feelings in those

wonder at this, if we consider the enemies
they have to vanquish—bodily appetites;
filthiness of spirit; a depraved nature ; all
sin and error ; the present evil world; the
devil and his angels. If we also consider
the qualities of their adversaries—their number—their malignity—their power—their
policy—their success for they have cast
down many mighty ; yea, many strong men
have been slain by them—oh ! when we
think of the heroes, the statesmen, the princes,
the philosophers, the divines—and all the
myriads they have enslaved and destroyed,

to receive any proposals of peace. We can-

not enter into a truee—no, not even to buy

We are to fight on through summer and
winter—by day and night—in every situation and condition. He that endureth to the
end, the same only shall be saved. In conversion we throw away the scabbard ; in
death only we lay down the sword. While
we are here, something is still to be done,
something still to be avoided—in company—
in solitude—in health—in sickness. And is
it nothing to watch in nil things ! To pray
without ceasing! In everything to give

There are also occasional difficulties too

suppose a few of them. What marvel if the
Mildicr is faint, when the road is rough and
thorny, and the weather is warm and op-
pressive, and he hungers and thirsts for want
of seasonable refreshments and supplies,
which are interrupted, if not cut off, and he
feels a loss of strength, occasioned by a
wound from without, or an indisposition
from within. Is this talking parables ? There
is not a Christian on earth whose religious
experience will not easily explain it all. And
if this, therefore, be m_f experience, let me
remember that there is nothing ominous, nor
even peculiar, in it. Every subject of divine
grace is well acquainted with this heart's

Faint, yet pursuing. The life and experience of the Christian are full of contrasts;
he resembles the bush of Moses, which was
seen burning, but not consumed ; and his
language is, Cast down, but not destroyed;
sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as dying,

him as a soldier; looked at him faint; but

Exploring the Ocean Bed.
B. C. Gregory, in the absence of Professor
Kobinsou, read an elaborate and interesting
paper recently before the Society of Practical
Engineering, at the Cooper Institute, on
anil Dredging," J. A.
" Deep Seain Sounding
Whitney the Chair.
He said the present century has witnessed
science advancing with more gigantic strides
than at any other period of the world's history. Through the agency of steam the
ocean has been made the highway of nations, the land is girt with a network of railroads, and civilization is carried to the ends
of the earth. Electricity, though discovered
by Thales 600 years before Christ, has only
recently been compelled to give forth its
power and subtlety for the benefit of man ;
but as science is yet ignorant of this agent,
it has been unable to apply it to machinery.
With geology, zoology and many other
sciences deep sen explorations have an intimate connection, as well as upon navigation
and submarine telegraphy. The lead and
line was the earliest device for deep sea
sounding, and it is still In use. The crude*
ness of the contrivance has, however, led to
the popular error of a " bottomless ocean."
and to many mistakes—sometimes fatal
ones—in making soundings.
The success which has attended the laying of submarine cables has set the erroneous
idea of an ocean without bottom at rest fori-ver, and given an impulse to the effort to
invent new means of sounding and dredging.
The soundings made in the Atlantic show
its bottom to be an extensive plateau, varying in depth at different points. The average depth is 15,000 feet, though the steamer
(
ydops obtained a depth of 15,000 feet.
This ocean floor begins about 150 miles from
the Irish coast; the descent from shallow to
deep water is very rapid, reaching 10,500
feet in fifty miles, giving an angle of descent
greater than that of the Italian Alps. The
deepest part of the Atlantic is on the American side, near the banks of Newfoundland,
where a great basin exists ranging east and
west for nearly a thousand miles, and whose
depth is believed to exceed the highest of the
Himalaya mountains. It has also been recently proved that a ship can be held in one
place and soundings made, even when the
weather is comparatively rough. America
has been the pioneer in inventing deep sea
sounding apparatus, and her inventions are
as much used in the British navy as her
own. Here the lecturer described the latest
instruments that have been invented for deep
sea sounding, and after tracing the rise of
dredging with Sir John Ross' efforts in Baffin's Bay in 1818, he followed Hoskyn, Berryman and Tayman in their submarine explorations, gave many interesting facts, such
as that of the bottom of the ocean teeming
with animal life, some of them of a very high
type, and concluded by showing what a vast
flood of light is thrown upon practical science by deep sea sounding and dredging apparatus.—JVete York Herald.

THE FRIEND.
JANITAIIV 1. IBTO.
Volume XXVII.
With the opening of the year IS7O we
commence the 27th volume of the Frkml,
wishing our readers, on land and sea, a
happy New Year. True and lasting happiness is only found by yielding a heart obedience to the will of God ; and this is His
will: " That ye may believe on Him, whom
He hath sent." A living faith in Christ and
His word, which purifies the heart and life,
is alone the source of real happiness, remembering that without this faith it is impossible
to please God. Be persuaded, then, to seek
and live for Christ, and you will prove by
experience the truth of these words, and realize in life and death the Divine promise :
Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be
"well
with him."
The Friend as the oldest paper published
in this part of the world has an historical
importance, and its direct attention to the
moral and religious culture of seamen gives
it a claim upon all who desire their welfare.
The influence of a periodical which -is scattered so widely and fills so peculiar a place
is by no means small. Its past record has
been consistent, truthful and earnest, and its
future we trust will be worthy of approval by
all who love the good cause of progress and
religion.
Donations.—Thankfully we acknowledge
the following From Capt. Bennett, towards
support of the Friend, $5; from Mr. George
S. Lawrence, for Bethel, $2. Also fine col*

istribution among seamen from O. H.

the slothful man to the ant: " Go to the
ant, thou .sluggard." Isaiah made the ox
and the ass rebuke the ingratitude of the
professing people of God : " The ox knoweth hi* owner, and the ass his master's crib,
but Israel doth not know, my people doth
not consider." A greater than Solomon
and nil hia prophets sent those who distrusted in God's providence, to the lilies of
the field and the fowls of heaven
" Consider the lilies of the field, they toil not,
neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you
that Solomon in all his glory was not erjnal
to one of these."
The influence of all this on pious men in
ancient Israel was most beneficial. Living
us they did much in the open air and in
perpetual view of the wondrous works of
God in earth and sky, nature was seen by
them to be full of God. Would that the
example set by Hebrew shepherds and husbandmen as they tended their flocks, or
pruned the vineyards, would induce those
who live much among the worlds of nature
now to take the same elevated views. The
works of nature would, in this way, afford a
higher and nobler pleasure, when thus associated with God and wilh divine things,
than when associated merely with professional work and sordid earthly solicitudes.
There was not an object in the mineral, the
vegetable or animal kingdom which was not
capable of being enlisted into the service of
Christ. The plant in particular had been
employed by the inspired writers to convey
spiritual lessons. The life of the plant
seemed to them like the spiritual life of the
soul; the rain and dew that nourished it reminded them of the grace which came down
fromdheaven; the flowers which adorned it
taught them that the soul should be adorned
with heavenly graces ; and the fruit which
it yielded, admonished, them that they too
must bring forth fruit unto God.
The lesson of this day was derived from
the plants. Christ himself was the teacher,
and the grass and lilies were the lesson
book. The greatest of all teachers was employing his works as symbols, figures, or
models to instruct us in divine truths. Our
attention was called to four topics. First
we were called to consider the works of
God, and in particular the plants, the lilies,
and the grass of the field. We were to
mark them, to mark how they grew, and we
needed no scientific knowledge, no learned
terms to enable us to do this. All persons
who had eyes to see might in particular observe two things. First, every part of the
plant was made to serve an end; every
organ of the plant had its use. To every
reflecting mind this was obvious.
Secondly, there was visible in the plant
an order, an
a beauty. Special
reference was made to this by Him who
made them, and who now used them to
teach us lessons. God was said not only to
have made but to have clothed the grass of
:
the field.
We were also called to consider the
grounds which we had for trusting in God
that he will provide for our temporal wants :
Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of
—" field

the

men, and called on us to judge what it said.
Its reasonings were all brief, all very conclusive, but at the same time easily followed.
We were also called to consider that if
God so clothed the grass of the field, that if
he so clothed the bodies of his people, much
more would he clothe their souls with
heavenly graces. This was not the direct
lesson taught by the text, but it nrose directly
out of it. Our souls had already been cut off
from God, the source of all spiritual life;
but so great value did God set on these souls
that He sent his Son from heaven to save
them from everlasting death. Christ's work
when on earth was a work of salvation, and
his prerogative was still to seek and save
that which was lost. He was in this world
now by his Spirit as he once was by his
bodily prcseirce. Wherever Christ went he
left behind him traces of his presence. Before him, as he marched through the world,
were the blind, the deaf, the dying and the
dead; behind him were the seeing, the hearing, the living and the loving. His was a
work of salvation, a work of beautifying;
not only was the soul once dead made alive
by his work, but beautified and adorned. If
men had faith but as a grain of mustard
seed they would, by the vital power which
was imparted, be clothed with graces of
many a hue, each lovely in itself, and lovely
in the place which it had to occupy. There
would be the brighter colors ; the blue, the
pink, and the orange of faith and confidence
and hope, mingling with the darker but not
less lovely colors, with the red, the purple,
and the olive of penitence, humility and
patience; and the whole lightened and
brightened by what was after all the pure
beam of heaven, by the pure white light of
love coming direct and unbroken from Him
who was light and love.
Our souls needed to be beautified ; they
needed not only to be renewed, but to be
adorned. There were some Christian men
and women who were under the influence
ot true faith and steady principle, but they
were not amiable. They were cross, or
peevish, or violent, or stubborn. Such persons needed to be clothed, that they become
not only good but lovely. This world was
but a place of nurture, where we were to be
nurtured, and then transplanted into the
paradise above. The flowers around us hud
their beauty but for a day, but it was different with the souls which were being adorned
by the Spirit of God ; they were to bloom
forever in a better land, where were no
winds to blight nor storms to destroy.
Dr. McCosh concluded by exhorting his
hearers to rebuke their unbelief, for it was a
want of faith or at least a weakness of faith,
which led us to be so overwhelmed with
wordly anxieties.
Sabbath afternoon we started out in search
of a church, which was open for preaching,
and after visiting a Methodist, a Baptist,
and a Unitarian, we returned at 4 P. M.,
and heard another sermon at Shawmut
Church, from the Rev. Dr. McCosh. His
text was " Unto me, who am less than the
least of all Saints." He described the character of the Apostle Paul and gave some
reasons for the sentiment of the text.
We were interested in noticing the method
of sermonizing adopted by Dr. McCosh, win.
enjoys so good a reputation as a Divine and
■ preacher. His method is that of preachers who divide off their discourses into
divisions and sub-divisions, and from the
discussion, drawing certain inferences. The
theory of some preachers, that a sermon is
a " Sacred Oration," was evidently not
taught the young preachers where he studied.
In the evening our efforts to find a church
open for preaching were even more fruitless
than in the afternoon. We visited Park
Street, King's Chapel, Old South, Hollis
Street, Bloornfield, Tremont Temple, including Orthodox and Heterodox, but no
preacher could we find ready to proclaim
the gospel, yet the streets appeared to be
full of people, and the Common was thronged
with pleasure-seekers. At last we saw a
dim light in the vestry of Park Street
Church, and on entering heard a few worshipers singing,
mSweet hour of prayer,
That calls me from a world of care."
The services were conducted by a young
man whose appearance and youthfulness
most favorably impressed us. His remarks
upon one of the Psalms of David were very
appropriate. The audience was very small,
considering the multitudes seen outside of
the church, and the fact that no churches
were open where preaching was to be heard.
We returned homeward, having had our religious emotions enlivened by the exercises
of the prayer-meeting, but cannot but think
it somewhat strange, that in this great city,
abounding with churches, there should be
found scarcely a single one open for preaching on a Sabbath evening, even if it was in
the warm weather of July. At Honolulu
we are not aware that a single Sabbath evening has passed during the last quarter of a
century when there was not preaching in
English at either the Bethel or Fort Street
Church ; and during much of the time at
both.
AMONG THE SPINDLES AT FALL RIVER, MASS.
In order to visit an old college class-mate,
the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, of Union Theological Seminary, who was spending his
summer vacation at Fall River, we visited
this famous city of spindles. Our visit was
fortunately at a time when we met another
old college friend, the Rev. Dr. Poor, of
Newark, N. J., who is soon to leave for the
Pacific Coast, to assume the pastoral charge
of the Ist Presbyterian Church of Oakland, California. During our brief sojourn
in New England, we have been enabled to
meet many of our old college friends and
acquaintances. It is exceedingly pleasant
and refreshing to renew friendships, formed
more than thirty years ago, in the freshness
of youth and amid the scenes of collegelife. On such favored occasions, we can

Rev. Hiram Bingham, Sr.
The late Rev. Hiram Bingham, Senior,
was bom nt Bennington, Vt., October 30th,
1789 ; graduated at Middlcbury College in
1816,and at Andover Theological Seminary
in 1819. He and his clerical associate in
the Mission, the late Rev. Asa Thurston,
were ordained at Goshen, Ct., on the 29th of
September. He was soon after married to
Miss Sybil Moseley, of Westfield, Mass., a
lady of distinguished qualifications for the
missionary work.
The pioneers of the Sandwich Island Mission consisted of Rev. Hiram Bingham, Rev.
Asa Thurston and their wives, and of Messrs.
Daniel Chamberlain, Thomas Dolman, Samuel Whitney, Elisha Loomis, Samuel Ruggles, and their wives, together with three
Hnwaiiaus—John Honolii, Thomas Hopu
and Willi'im Kanui, who had been educated
at the Mission School in Cornwall,Ct. They
sailed from Boston October 23d, 1819, on
the brig Thaddeus, Capt. Blanchard, and
arrived at Honolulu April 19th, 1820. after
a passage of six months. Here Mr. Bingham
took up his residence during the twenty
years of his missionary life. Honolulu was
then a large irregular village of grass huts,
inhabited by ignorant, idolatrous and super-
stitious savages.
It is not easy at this late period to enumerate all the trials and privations of the
pioneer missionaries to these Islands. Their
opportunities to communicate with their
friends and the Prudential Committee in
Boston were few and far between. Their
annual supplies from home were on a very
small scale, and by no means sufficient for
the health and comfort of their families.
Here they were strangers in a strange land,
among a people destitute of civil and religious institutions, whose language had never
been reduced to writing. They must begin
dc novo, with the alphabet, determine the
number of its vowels and consonants, make
up a vocabulary of words, decide upon their
orthography and their etymology; they must
enter immediately upon the work of preparing elementary school books, must translate
portions of Scripture, and thus prepare the
way to communicate the good news and glad
tidings of salvation to this people.
But they had trials to meet of a far more
formidable character than these. Like Paul
the Apostle to the Gentiles, they could say
" In perils of robbers, in perils by the heathen,
and in j>erils by my OWN cimtitryiiten"
Yes, some of their greatest trials and" apprehensions of evil were from their MM roi/nM/men ! But notwithstanding the many
trying circumstances in which they were
:
placed at the commencement of their Mission, they went forward in the name of their
Lord and Masteatand he enabled them to
come off more thTn oonquerers. Truth and
righteousness prevailed, and the rulers in a
few years adopted the Christian religion as
the religion of the nation.
A few months after the arrival of the pioneers at these islands, Messrs. Bingham and
Thurston wrote a joint letter to the Society
of Inquiry on Missions at Andover Theological Seminary, in which are the following
prophetic interrogations : " Is it too much to

�George Peubody.
The death of this great philanthropist occurred, at his residence in London on the 4th
of last November. His numerous and magnificent charities will long endear his name
to millions in England and America. From
an exchange we take the following sketch of
his life
Mr. Pcabody was born in Dauvers, Mass.,
February 18th, 1795. Hisearliestancestorin
America was Francis Peabody, who left St.
Albans, in Hertfordshire, England, in 1635,
and settled, after some sojournings, at Topsfield, Mass. The dwelling and saw mill
which he built there are said to be still
standing He was a man of considerable
prominence in the community, and left what
was then regarded as a large property. But
before the end of the next century, when his
descendant, the late banker and philanthropist, was born, the family had ceased to be
wealthy, and Thomas Peabody, the father of
George* was in straitened circumstances.
His education was such as the common
schools ol Danvers could supply, and even
these advantages he enjoyed only until he
was eleven years old, when he was placed in
a grocery store in Danvers. Here he spent
four years, then went for a year to his grandfather's in Thetford, Vt., and afterward to
his brother's store in Newburyport. A fire
there put an end to his brother's business,
and George was invited by his uncle John to
to with him to begin a new business enterprise at Georgetown, D. C. Here the business was nominally conducted by the nephew
on account of his uncle's financial embarrassments, but, fearing that he might be made
answerable for debts not incurred by him,
the young man, then only nineteen years
old, left his uncle and formed a partnership
with Elisha Riggs in the dry goods trade.
The business, for which Mr. Kiggs furnished the capital, was entirely conducted by
Mr. Pcabody, and in about a year was removed to Baltimore. Here it was so successful that in 1822 a branch of the house
was established in Philadelphia and one in
New York. In 1829 Mr. Riggs retired from
the business, and Mr. Peabody became the
head of the house. He had occasion several
times to go to Europe to buy goods, and was
entrusted by the State of Maryland with
financial business, which he accomplished
very advantageously, refusing all compensation for his services, for which, however, the
General Assembly expressed in public resolutions the gratitude of the State.
:
In 1837 Mr. Peabody
went to
London to
reside, continuing to conduct the business of
the firm until 1843, when he dissolved the
partnership, and established himself in business as a banker. In this business he was
uniformly prosperous, and accumulated a
great fortune. The first circumstance which
attracted general attention to him from
America, was his gift of £4,000 to enable
American exhibitors to appear with credit at
the international exhibition of 1851 in London, for which Congress, unlike the governments of European nations, had failed to
make any provision. The next year he furnished $10,000 to equip the expedition under
Dr. Kane to the Arctic seas in search of Sir
John Franklin.
In 1852 he began thatseries of munificent
benefactions which are now inseparably associated with his name, by a gift of $20,000
to found an institute and library for the people of his native town, the origin of the Peabody institute, which has now an endowment
of $200,000 from his generosity. In 1857
he founded a similar institute on a larger
scale in Baltimore, giving at first $300,000,
aud raising the amount subsequently to
$1,000,000! In 1862 he made the first of
his gifts to "ameliorate the condition of the
poor and needy " of London. He at first
placed in the hands of trustees the sum of
£150,000, to be used by them in their discretion for the general purpose of improving
the condition of the London poor, with no
restriction other than his suggestion that a
portion of this sum should be used in the
" construction of such improved dwellings
for the poor as may combine in the greatest
possible degree the essentials of healthfulness, comfort, social enjoyment and economy." The amount given for this purpose
was afterwards increased to £350,000, equal
to more than $2,000,000 of our currency.
In acknowledgment of these distinguished
benefactions, besides the municipal honors
conferred by the city of London, the British
Government proposed to give him a baronetcy or the Grand Cross of the Bath, but he
declined these compliments, and, being
pressed to mention what would be acceptable,
he said : "A letter from the Queen of England, which I may carry across the Atlantic
and deposit as a memorial of one of her most
faithful sons." The Queen sent him an autograph letter, accompanied with her portrait
in enamel, both of which are deposited in the
Peabody Institute at Danvers.
But Mr. Peabody's greatest benefaction
was his gift to build up education at the
South. To this object he gave in all nominally $3,000,000, but a considerable part of
this amount was in funds not now productive
and having only a small market value, but
which the donor thought would ultimately
be worth their face.
Besides all these gifts, he bestowed large
sums upon each of a considerable number of
educational, literary and charitable institutions, and built a beautiful church as a monument to his mother at Georgetown, Mass.
Mr. Peabody's health had lieen infirm for
several years, and his death, though not immediately apprehended, it was known could
not be distant. Since his return to Europe,
a few months ago, he had visited the south
of France, hoping that his health might be
benefited by the climate, and had lately arrived again in London. He was never married. The greater part of his fortune had
been given to the various benevolent objects
we have mentioned. He died equally regretted by both the great nations that he had
blessed with his benefactions, and leaving an
example which other rich men may emulate
with satisfaction to themselves, and advantage to mankind.
Along with the Editor's Notes from
the United States, we expect to commence
interesting Editorial correspondence from the
Old World, in the next month's issue—it
having reached us too late for insertion in

Iron Ocean Steamers.
Captain L. McKay, of Boston, has furnished some interesting facts evidencing the
immense strides iron ocean steam navigation
is making. Wooden steamers have for years
superseded the sailing packets upon every
ocean line, and now the former have in turn
to give place to those of iron; and sailing
vessels constructed of this material, trading
on the long routes, are also being crowded off
the seas by the rapid encroachments of the
metallic steamer. The beautiful China clip-
pers which have won so much fame by their
swift flights from the Orient to this country
and Europe, loaded with the precious products of China and the Indies, will soon, like
the old Liverpool liners of this port, become
things of the past. Already have steamers
arrivetl at London from China. One brought
3,000 tons of tea, and made the trip in sixtyfive days; and another with a freight valued
at $150,000 and another made the trip in
sixty-two days, also richly freighted ; and
the same owners are building four more for
the same trade. And thus they progress.
The old Dramatic, the Black Ball, the
Black Star and other Liverpool lines from
this port, and the Havre and other Continental lines, so intimately connected with
our city's commerce and prosperity, have had
to yield to the merciless steamer. The historical frigate ships, the pride of the old British India Company—the Australian, the
:
Brazilian and
West
Indian packets—have
all in turn been driven off the course hy the
irrepressible new agent that links together
the most distant parts of the earth in her
iron band.
The Iron A (ft was a suggestive name for
the bark lately launched on the Delaware—
the first of her class ever built this side of
the Atlantic, and few will doubt its applicability when on one river—the Clyde—there
are now on the stocks, in various stages of
forwardness, 100 iron steamers, aggregating
100,000 tons, and that the last year's production for the same place amounted to no
less than 171,126 tons of iron steamers and
sailing vessels. X. Y. Com. Advertiser.

Naval.—The United States Hag-ship Mohirau. Admiral Turner, left for San Francisco op Wednesday, December 15, having
spent some six weeks in port. The visit of
the Admiral here has been one of observation
by order o\ his Government, and will be attended with good results, as it has given him
an opportunity to make a personal inspection
of the condition of American commerce and
interests at this port. We understand that
one result of his visit will be to devote more
attention to the groups of islands lying west
and south of us, and which come within his
field of inspection. This includes from the
North and South American shores as far us
Australia in the south-west and the Micronesian groups and Ladrones in the west, in
short the whole of what is termed Oceanica,—a portion of the Pacific seldom visited
by war vessels of any nation. The recent
outrages committed by natives of various
groups, as well as the revival of thecoolie or
slave trade in this ocean, has decided the
Admiral, with the sanction of his Government, to station a ship here, which shall be
held in readiness to visit any groups west or
south of us, wherever her presence may be
demanded. For this service the United
States ship (Jssi/m, Commodore Taylor
commanding, will be detailed, andarrive here
in the spring. The Commodore, who ranks
next to the Admiral, will be entrusted with
affairs in the central Pacific. The plan is
most certainly a judicious one, and must
tend to inspire greater respect for the American flag among the savage tribes which will
be visited by this and other naval ships.—
