pastor of the second native church in Honolulu, is now Professor in the Lahainaluna
Seminary, on Maui. His successor, the
Rev. G. W. Pilipo, has for several years been
the pastor of the native church at Kailua,
Hawaii. His installation took place on
Sabbath evening, December 31st, according
to the following order :

One of his parishioners presented us with a

book of "Common Prayer." We never
could see why eminent divines of the Epis-i
copal Church in England and America were
willing, aye, eager to improve King James*
translation of the Bible, but those «ame
scholarly divines would not allow a word
(even regenerate) in tbe baptismal service to
be altered. The course they pursue gives
the impression that they think far more of
maintaining the integrity of tfce "Prayer

Letter from
Aheong.
As many of our readers are acquainted
with Aheong, the Chinese missionary, who
labored among his countrymen on the islands,
we think they will be interested in the perusal of the following letter. We would
call attention to that part of the letter which
describes the reports about poisoning. It
will readiiy appear; how easy it is to raise
such reports among an ignorant, superstitious, and prejudiced people. If his health
is restored, we shall hope to welcome his
return to the islands. We value this letter,
because it is the communication of a native
of China, who ncquired a knowledge of the
English language, sufficiently, to enable him
to write with intelligence and accuracy. As
the Chinese are now educated in California,
Honolulu, and elsewhere, we hope many
more will be found of like spirit with
Aheong :
Canton, China, August 10, 1871.

S.
Rev. C. Damon:
Dear Sir.—Your first welcome letter, I
received last year with one roll newspapers.
Your second letter, of March 3d last, came
to my hands, April sth, with another roll of
newspapers. I do not forget your kindness
to send me them. They help me q great

other countries.

yet. So I did not try any work lor our

My mother and brother are determined to
keep me at home always, but it is not my
mind. I keep the Sabbntji and family prayer

hard as ever. I pray God for them, and for
all my countrymen. 1 hope that you and
all the good people at Hawaii do not forget
to ask G«d for me, with my family and my
countrymen. So we do not forget to pray
to God for thee, and all at Hawaii and other
places. My countrymen's hearts are very
hard. I try to explain about the Gospel as
well as I have chance, but thsy are laughing
at me. It seems to them that I am a foolish
man, but I do not feel ashamed for them to
see me so. I shall like to get my health
better, then I will try again to see if I can
do something for our Lord.
About three month* ago, 1 received a letter from Gen. C. H. Howard, of Chicago,
the Secretary of the American Mission Association, he wishes me to go to California
to engage in our great work for the Chinese
there. Jt was a good chance for me to carry
the work of Christ, but 1 was fearful on
account of my poor health, so I did not go
there; also, i did not answer his letter.

�“The Spirit of the Press.”
This is the name of a new paper started
in Galena, Illinois, and edited by H. H.
Houghton, Esq., late United States Consul
at Lahaina. Let it be remembered that this
gentlemnn, is a veteran editor, having edited
and published a newspaper at Galena for
more than thirty years. He was among the
earliest friends of President Grant. Mr.
Houghton is a old neighbor and personal
friend of the President, and was among the
very first to start him on thit line, which
finally elevated him to the Presidency.
In the number of the paper lying on our
tafile, for November 27th, we notice a leading editorial relating to the " Sandwich
Islands." We are glad to learn that Mr.
Houghton carried away with him a pleasant
impression of a residence on the islands, and
the readers of his paper will doubtless derive
much useful information from bis pen, jotting down remifisences of his sojourn at
Lahaina and in Honolulu. The editorial
closes with the following paragraphs :
" Two years ago, there was living at
Lahainaluna (Upper Lahaina), a woman
who accomplished one of the greatest swimming feats on record. She and her husband
were onboard a schooner, which was wrecked
off the shore, some twenty miles or more.
All on board were lost, but herself. She
and her husband, in possession of a single
plank, started for Hawaii. They swam for
life. The husband had the plank till by
some accident it was lost. He became exhausted. She took him on her back, and so
carried him for eight hours ; the last part of
the voyage he was an inanimate corpse.
He died from exhaustion, but she clung to
the body till she landed it on shore. She
had strength enough to crawl towards a hut,
where she was discovered and cared for, and
she is probably still alive, though old. They
were twenty-rour hours in ihe water. It is
told by her, that before she lelt the wreck,
they both engaged in prayer for deliverance,
which was answered by saving the life that
we live here, of the one, and of granting a
more speedy entrance on the eternal life to
the other. We spoke of Mrs. Treadway.
When coming to this country with her husband, and when near Aspinwall, on the
blhmus of Panama, in going off shore for
the ship in which ihey were to sail, the boat
in which they were was capsized, and herself, her husband and a passenger were
thrown into the sea. In this case, she not
only saved the life of her husband by taking
him to the shore in an exhausted state, but
she then returned and saved the life of the
passenger."
New Church in Goshen, N. Y.
A copy of the Goshen Democrat lies on
our table, furnishing much agreeable information respecting the'dedication of Presbyterian Church, in which will officiate the venerable father, (the Rev. Dr. Snodgraas) of
our fellow townsman, Mr. Snodgrass. This
new church has been built at a cost of over
1872.

“Value of Old Newspapers.”
SIOO.OOO. At the dedicatory evercises, it
was gratifying to notice, that the Rev. Dr.
Tyng, the distinguished and venerable Episcopal clergyman of New York city took part.
In the course of his eloquent address he
thus remarks : " The eloquent Whitfield
told the truth when he said that asking
Father Abraham, in heaven, whether there
were Episcopalians there,* he answered,
'No, my son.' 'Are there any Presbyterians?'
' No, my son.' ' Any Quakers?' ' No, my
son.'
Who are there ?' 'All Christians.'
This is the grand essential, and in all the
essentials the differences between Episcopalians and Presbyterians are only microscopic, and can only be with satisfaction by
a microscopic age."

THE FRIEND,
JANUARY 1, 1872.
Ethnological and Philological Rotes Respecting
Hawaiians.
During the brief visit of the Rev. Dr.
Lobahied at Honolulu, on his passage from
San Francisco to Hongkong, he became
much interested in observing the Hawaiian*,
— eihnologically and philologically. On his
passage to China he noted down some of
his reflections, which he has forwarded. We
think many of our readers will be interested
in the following:
A FEW MORE SCRAPS.
In the Friend I see that there is a
considerable degree of intercourse between
Chinese and Hawaiian women. Is there no
danger of tbe Christian woman being made
and treated as a concubine by the Chinese
polygamist? A law should be passed for,
the protection of the women. Every Chmaman who is about to leave the islands should
be compelled to report his intended departure
to the local authorities at least a fortnight
before his embarkation. There is a Chinaman here on board who comes from Kauai.
He has a wife in China and has been living
with a Hawaiian woman at Kauai. He
takes about $6,000 home with him. Should
he not leave $1,000 for the woman with
whom he has been living? Let the law be
passed and the people will soon learn to protect themselves and their interest.
Page 50, (June, 1S70) in the jubilee sermon 1 read the casting away of the idols by
the Hawaiian's to be without example in history. It may be of interest to yon and the
Hawaiian* to learn that about 350 years
ago the inhabitants of the Sunda, Spice and
other islands all cast away their idols and
remained for a considerable time without
any religion whatever. Then came the Mahommedans and the people adopted their
religion.
1.—The Hawaiians are evidently a mixed
Their hair, size and complexion as
well as their language point lo a mixture between the superior Hindoo with the lighter
colored Mongolian. Bastards are in general
taller and more corpulent than the races
from whom they descend. The hair of the
Hawaiian is not that of a descendant from
a Mongolian with a negro. (Vide Cafusos
in South America). The Papuaz are likely
to have sprung from an intermixture of
straight-haired blacks with negroes. The
language of the Hawaiians retains some
traces of a Japhetite origin, some of the
forms pointing to an indo-Gennanic-elements,
whilst the absence of flexions indicate a
Harnitic origin. Their course of migration
was certainly not from east to west.
2.—Are the words like mauna (mountain?) ai.aula (aurora?) like (like?) manomano (many?) mana (divine, manes?) and
many others oi prehistoric date? Is Mauna
Loa so designated in Cook's voyage? Are
the many Hawaiianized words reminiscences
of accidental intercourse, of which all traces
are loet,«or is the similarity of sound pure
accident? I think not; for the foreign
race.

words in other languages contradict the
you admit a partial descent from Japhet, then you can account for the Greek words in a more rational
hypothesis of accident. If
way than Hopkins.
3.—There are a great many Hawaiianized
words which sound as if they had come
from China. Compare the Chinese koko,
that, those, every one. na, nako, that, those,
mai, do not, with several Hawaiian pronouns. Hawaiian : Pau ke kaua, to cease
fighting, would in ancient colloquial Chinese
be: Pa kau. Add to the many words the
similarity of sound which would arise from
a change of the consonants I, r, v, t and
others, as maka, the eye, Malay mata, ax.,
and you will admit an accidental acquaintance with Asiatic nations. Languages often
undergo rapid changes. The English language has no flexion of nouns and adjectives, no gender, &c., &c, whilst in German
everything is change and gender.
4.—1 have perused wiih much interest
the copy of tbe grammar which you were
kind enough to present to me. I find there
is one great mistake made with reference to
the cases. The different forms under declensions should stand under the heading of
prepositions and the cases they govern. If
you will look at the syntax of a German
grammar all will be clear at a glance, c. g.,
entlang dcs (genit.) weges, along the road ;
van dir (dat.), from or of you; durch dich
(Ace), by you. In a similar manner do our
verbs govern the various cases—c, g.,
Ich gedenke deiner (genit.) I think of you ;
Es yehort mir (dat), it belongs to me;
Ich liebe dich (tic), I love you.
I hope you will pardon my liberty of expressing my ideas unreservedly. Please
mad the preface to my large dictionary and
compare some of the pronouns and their applications with the Hawaiians, alwnys bearing in mind, that nations with imperfect
articulations always transfer these imperfections to the languages they learn, if not
forced to the contrary. All languages tend
towards simplifications with a tendency towards the monosyllabic. Alii, king, ruler,
is the Arabic nli, ruler; the sublime, Sec.
Are the genealogies of their rulers not the
names of contemporaneous chiefs rather
than one successive line of sovereigns? If
you publish any answer to these questions
through the medium of the Friend, will you
please send me one or two copies to China?

Through the kindness of Mr. 8. Ames, navigating
officer, we have been furnished with the following
particulars of the weather encountered by tbe ship
on her passage to the islands On tbe morning of
the 16th of Deo., in Lat. 22° 67" N, 161 » 87' W,
the breeze freshened from the B 9 E, shifting to the
westward, and gradually increased tea moderate
gale—force 8. This gale lasted about six hours, and
from the indications the ship was on the eastern edge
of a oyolnne, moving Nlt E and NE. On the 17th
it came on to blow again, but not as strong as on the
16th. Tbe barometer fell from 29.89 to 29.76—
strength of tbe gale about 7, with occasional squalls
of about 10. The direction of tbe wind in both cases
was from the 88 W, veering to the westward. On
the 19th sighted Maui and Molokal, when tbe wind
blew strong, sometimes as high as 10, from Sand E,
shifting to 8 and W. Tbe ship was hove tea part of
tbe time under close reefed main-topsail and spanker.
On tbe 16th a heavy swell was encountered from tbe
N sad W, which continued nntil the arrival here, beng but slightly interrupted by the cjclona.—P.

thence toward Australia. The following is a list of
the symptoms of vigorous intellectual activity which the contact with European civilization has effected in Japan, one of the most
remarkable is the eagerness with which the
Japanese seem to take up the study of the
German language. About a year ago a
German school was opened at Yeddo, under
the auspices of the Japanese authorities, and
the number of native pupils attending it,
which was four, now actually exceeds one
thousand. The influx of native pupils was
at times, so great that German sailors had
temporarily to be employed to impart to the
eager pupils a knowledge of the German
ABC.

“Who'll Now Care for the Little Birds?”
The death of Mr. Moffitt Stoney has been
weekly papers, but
one characteristic of this gentleman has not
been noticed. He was a friend of the little
duly chronicled in the
birds, and would not allow sportsmen—those
savage enemies of the birds—to wander over
his ranch with their fowling pieces. The
little birds showed that they appreciated his
kindness and protection. The plover especially looked up to him as their friend. We
do not think there is any part of the Sandwich Islands which would compare with
Kahuku for such exhibitions of civilization,
in horses, cattle, sheep, fowls and birds!

J
The Shakers.
I bare for my design in this article to
bring to your notice one of the most singular of the many religious sects, now possessing considerable power in the United States.
I have often been surp-jlpd at the ease with
which any religious creed, however foolish it
may seem, gains followers. We cannot then
wonder that when, about the year 1770, an
English woman, named Ann Lee, claimed to
have received a divine revelation, commissioning her to establish a new church, she
was readily believed by some. Infatuation
is a strong characteristic of weak minds, and
it was not long before the " United Society
of believers in Christ's second appearing," as
they styled themselves, acquired quite a
number of converts. They early separated
from the Quakers of which sect they at first
formed a branch. The essentials of their
creed, are a belief in an eternal farher and
mother existing in the deity, the parent of
the whole human race; and in the duality of
Christ, Jesus being the one and Ann Lee the
other member of the child of Ood.
Will you now allow me to guide you in
fancy as we visit one of the settlements of
the Shakers. Just west of the line where
Massachusetts joins New York, there lies,
nestled among the hills, a beautiful town,
New Lebanon by name. It consists of two
villages, the one New Lebanon, Spa., a
widely known for the efficacy of its mineral
water and country air as a restorative, as the
other is for being the home of the wealthiest
and most influential family of Shakers. It
is summer, and around us lie beautiful
meadows with their velvet cover, fields of
grain bowing with the fitful breeze, and all
the lowland seems happy; while far aloft
extend the mountains rearing their woodcapped peaks and looking down as if in rare
enjoyment upon the beauty at their feet.
All' around is busy, and even the trees, as if
ashamed to be idle, drowsily nod their
heads. A choice spot this, one of Nature's
own, well chosen to be the house of a community where the world's strifes enter not.
Here all are on a level, and be a man
wealthy or be he poor, it matters not; for all
things are common, all receive their stores
from one treasury, and contribute all their
possessions to the common stock. Elders
are appointed, men eminent for piety, and to
these are allotted the management of their
worldly affairs. Shrewd men they are,
sharp at a bargain, rarely deceived. In such
a quiet nook as this we should expect to find
no such thing aa aristocracy; but shall we
ever realize this dream on earth. They
men may advance in piety and prois accordingly, and tbe Church family,
Bk
so called, is acknowledged as the highest.
The dress of tbe Quakers is retained and
queerly enough it looks to see bright girls
wearing white caps, and little boys running
around with the fatherly broad-brimmed
hats; to say nothing of the general effect
produced by the plainness of drab or brown
unrelieved by any other color. All their
buildings are scrupulously neat, and it seems
a pleasure to step from the white and
scoured floors upon the ground where we
need not fear lest we leave a speck of dirt.
Their stores are stocked with goods choice
and rare, and particularly do we admire the
feather work, and the- baskets made from
the ash and willow. Let no one enter here
whose pocket is empty, for, like the world's
people in this at least, they do know how to
demand large prices. We enter one of their
schools, after a long time spent in coaxing
and in controverting the yea and nay of the
pretty teacher, and find a pleasant room filled
with bright faces. Many of the lessons are
in rhyme, they supposing it easier to commit in this way. Only the rudiments of
an education are taught. School is now
closed and boys and girls are marched in
Indian file to their houses, each sex apart.
Woe to the curious urchin who may chance,
to try to get a peep at the world's people. A
boxed ear rewards the curiosity. The sexes
live entirely apart, and scarce a word passes
between them save upon business matters.
They are .firm adherents to the old maxim
Early to bed," &c., never sleeping later
than half past four in summer. They breakfast at 6, dine at 12 and sup at 6 in the
"
afternoon.
Most of them are vegetarians and all food
prohibited by the law of Moses is not used.
Once a year they have a social gathering in
which three families join. Every brother
and sister is expected to furnish some communication, prose or poetry, and the picnic
lasts all day. During the fifteen years of
its obsepance the day appointed has never
been unpleasant and many of them believe
that Elder Evans has a controlling influence
over the elements. We see on every side
abundant evidence of their worldly prosperity and well stored barns prove that want is
foreign to them.
Curiosity prompts us upon a Sabbath
morning to go to Shaker meeting. The
sexes enter at different doors and occupy
separate parts of the room. All ait quietly
for a time. Then the Shakers arise, form a
circle and chant
tions of a life where poverty Is not, where
worldly trials are unknown, where all things
are common. But, alas, the one thing making our lives pleasant is lacking here, and
we can but feel how cold that heart must
become which has nothing on which to
fasten its affections, and we gladly turn our
thoughts toward our homes, where wealth
may not be, but where love reigns supreme.
By the proverbial kindness of the Shakers
toward all, by their strict integrity and industry they draw toward themselves the respect due to a well ordered community.
Thus have we taken a hasty view of the
religious sect called by the world Shakers,
because of their peculiar mode of worshipping. It is not our field to criticise their
creed, but we turn gladly from contemplating
it toward our Bible wherein we learn of the
wonderful love of God, the essence of the
Christian religion, which is so totally absent
W. H. C.
from their belief.
December 20,
1620.
“On the Sabbath we Rested.”
This is the simple and touching record of
the method the Pilgrim Fathers spent the
Holy Sabbath, the day before they landed
upon Plymouth Rock. It will be found in
Governor Bradford's history of Plymouth
Colony. The spot where they rested, was
on Clark's Island. This island is described as situated just within the entrance
of Plymouth Harbor, and so called from the
mate of the Mayflower-, who is said to have
been the first to step on it. It contains about
eight acres. It was neither sold nor allotted
in any of the early divisions of tbe lands,
but was reserved for the benefit of the poor
of the town, to furnish them with wood and
pasture for their cattle.
The Pilgrim Fathers found time amid all
their toils, privations and wanderings, to rest.
upon the Sabbath, and then too, they were
so thoughtful for the poor in their midst.
These two points are worthy of our consideration as we pass along over the anniversary
of their landing on Plymouth Rock. Report
says, that one Edward Watson and others
during the past year have caused the following inscription to be chiseled on a prominent
rock upon Clark's Island :
" December 20, 1620.
On the Sabbath we rested."
There let it remain throughout all coming
generations, as a reminder to the millions of
the descendants of the Pilgrims that it is
their duty to remember the Sabbath Day, and
keep it holy, thus obeying the command -ef

The Old, Old
The Chinese in Hawaiianei.
Taking, it for granted tbst the future population of these islands is to be largely and
even predominantly Chinese, the importance
and necessity of educational and moral influences among them become self-evident.
That the bulk of our population a generation hence is to be made up of immigrants
trom China and Japan, and their descendants, few who intelligently investigate the
subject can doubt.
The work, then, of educating those alrea/Jy
•amongst us, simply our duty in any case, a»ktunes in these probabilities, or rather certainties, an importance no less than national.
It is sowing seed for an hundred fold returns.
It is laying tbe foundation for the intelligence and moral culture of tbe future generations of our country. And yet we are doing little towards taking up this work : in
the meantime these followers of Confucius
or JJudhii ure settling amongst us, marrying among our people, cutting ofT their
hair-tails, and as in no other country out of
China inheriting the land evidently content
to regard it as a home for themselves and
their children. Even their corpses prefer to remain here and to rest in peace
on the quiet hillside with the yearly oblations and festivities given to their spirits
who sit in silent guard on sentry ghost-stones
over the sleeping dust, rather than risk the
typhoons of the China seas for the sake of
the covering mantle of earth of the Celestial
Kingdom. This is a significant fact in itself
and shows on their part a remarkable readiness to regard Our country as theirs also by
adoption.
At present many circumstances Tender
difficult the work of educating the Chinese
already here. A large proportion of them
are ignorant and stupidly superstitious;
corning from the lowest classes of their own
land they present to us the worst possible
specimens of candidates for culture snd form
no criterion of the average capacity of the
race, Plantation conditions are not favorable
to the work. But these difficulties are also
special illustrations of the greater need of
such work,
The night school, conducted by Mr. Dunscombe in this place and under the care of
Her, Mr. Damon, is perhaps the only enterprise of this kind in operation here. This
school is very successful and is to a certain
extwit self supporting. The plan of the Association to conduct a Chinese Sunday
school Sunday sfternoons will, if successfully carried out, offer a good field of inflneoce in this direction and of gaining ground
and experience for future operations. The
Chinese Sunday schools in San Francisco
have been remarkably successful, and have
been the medium of a vast deal of good. We
doubt if there is any better or more available method open to us in which to win an
influence for good among the Chinese
among us.

American Relief Fund.—On the 22d of
this month—Washington's birth-day, will
be held the annual meeting. We learn
from A. J. Cartwright, Esq., that only, sixtyfive names have been upon the paying list,
during the past year. Only sixty-five
Americans on the Hawaiian Islands willing
to pay $12 per annum to aid their indigent
countrymen. We would suggest that the
list be read on the 4th of July, and such
Americans as are not willing to contribute
for this object should not be allowed to participate in the festivities. We would also
suggest that a list of all the non-paying
Americans be published in the newspapers.
We know of some boastful Americans who
have never contributed a dollar to this fund.
When the annual meeting is held, we trust
there will be a large addition to the list of
paying members.

Taking "The North Pacific Pilot," noticed in another column, and published by
Imray & Son, of London, 1870, as authority,
it discloses some facts not very creditable
to the activity of the British and American
Navies. This book brings out the record of
explorations in remote parts of this ocean
during the last half century. According to
this book, the Missionaries of Micronesia
and the commanders of the Morning Star,
have performed more exploration and published the same to the world, than has been
done by the British Navy since the days of
Cook and Vancouver, and by the U. S.
Navy since the days of Wilkes. According
to the recent estimate of the Rev. Dr. Anderson, the entire expense of the Micronesian mission, up to 1870, would not exceed
This famous newspaper, magazine and
book-writer, thus discnurses in a late number of the New York lndependant:
There are the Sandwich Islands, which were
the seat of a savage society, murderous, idolatrous, licentious. Now they are clothed and in
their right mind. They are governed by a constitution, snd they worship the true God. So the
missionaries preach, and so we believe. But, on
the other hand, infidels and unbelievers tell ub
that the natives are dying out. In the good old
times, when they worshiped their own gods, and
were not hampered by dress, they numbered
400,000. Now they are but 05,000. The infidels admit, indeed, that this depopulation had
begun before the missionaries appeared upon the
scene ; but their appearance has not checked it.
The rate of decrease has even been higher than
ever sinoe the mission work ; and they attribute
it to the fact that the missionaries have substituted for the natural dress and the natural amusement of the simple islanders, the oumberoue dress
and the severe manners of their own austere

We may not answer this question to her

upon various islands of the South Seas, the
following we believe to be the facts.

THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY,
but rather upon ths decrease. In some
groups the decrease has been much more
rapid than at others. On the Sandwich
Islands the decrease has been, upon an average about 1,000 per.annum, since 1820, this
decrease would include the ravages of the
small-pox, in 1853, and the influenza of a
prerious date. The small-pox swept away
about one half of the population of Ascension,
or Ponape, in Micronesia, in 1853-4. In
very many of the South Sea islands, the influenza, terminating in consumption is a terrible scourge among the natives.
In speaking of the causes of the depopulation, we must mention the old and destructive wars among the Sandwich Islanders,
and among the New Zealanders and Fijians,
the constant wars which have been going
forward for ages and are still in progress.
Among the causes of depopulation, must be
reckoned that disease which was brought by
those who came in the ships of Capt. Cook,
and this same disease has also gone forward,
more or less depopulating all these islands of
the Pacific. Its ravages has not as yet been
arrested.
Another cause of depopulation has been
the large number of young men who have
been taken away from their homes, and become seamen. They left at an age when
they might have remained and reared families, but having wandered abroad, they have
died and never contributed to the increase
of the population. This cause is much
more influential and wide-spread, than is at
first apparent. In referring to the causes of
depopulation, may be mentioned the introduction of measels, whooping cough, fevers
and the "numberless ills which (civilized)
flesh is heir to." All these have followed in
the track of civilization and intercourse with
foreigners.
Now the idea, of attributing the depopulation of the Sandwich Islands, or sny of the
islands of the Pacific to missions or Christianity, is just absurd as any thing which can
possibly be imagined. Christianity has no
more depopulated the Sandwich Islands or
Polynesia, than did the preaching of the
Gospel depopulate Rome and the Roman
Empire, eighteen hundred years ago. Nero
was wont to charge the burning of Rome
and the overflowing of the Tiber to the
Christians! Hence arose the cry, "Away
with Christians to the lions!" Christianity has no more depopulated these "isles
of the sea," than has Christianity caused the
old] Puritan element or English Stock of
New England to die out! This fact appears
to be one conclusively established by Dr,
Allen of Lowell. The fact is, the Polynesian race, appears to be destined finally to
give place to the Anglo Saxon and Chinese.
We think no one can doubt the truthfulness
In the future the Chinese
will supplant Polynesians. The kalo

Minor. To employ a military term, those

Rbv. Dr. Damon,
Mr Dkar Brother :—Accompanying this you
will find a couple of notes from Keduka's widow
«ad daughter lo you. You will probably be surprised as we were to learn ot his death. No one
has passed away from among this people whom we
shall miss so much as Keduka. He was ulways
among the tirst to greet us oa our yearly visits, and
the last to say " Good bye." He is ttie only one
who has known and been with us through all the
changes, trials and prosperities ot our work on
Kusaie. Now that he is no more with us, I was
surprised to see how much I had leaned upon him.
For days after our arrival i« seemed us though lie
would drop in somewhere and we should hear his
voice aguiu either about our house or in our meet-
ings.
home and at work.
I called at McAskil's on our wsy down and made
arrangements for sending there some of our native
teachers ; I was surprised at the swarms of natives
there ; it is a hopeful field for our Christians ; it is
good to give them work this early.
We dedicated a very good house of worship the
other day at one of my out stations ; the people have
erected it during my absence and it shows quite
considerable skill and much industry. Our people
are trying to develop themselves, and lam very happy to be with them to assist in this matter. It is
rather sad to feel myself so all alone, but tbe dear
ones are cared for with kind friends, and I am where
Jesus would have me.
The visit of the Jamestown to Ponape was a success ; I think all friends of this poor people and our
mission will rejoice with us. My dear place and
home at Kiti where you visited ns in '61, and which
"Pease" took possession of, and occupied by quite a
company of foreigners is now quite clear of incumance, and a good deed given for it; all owing to the
good work of the Jamestown. Capt. Trnxton did a
good work here, and has left a good impression on
our natives ; we shall long remember him.
Yours &c,
A. A. Sturges.
We found much to sadden us during our recent
visit to Kusaie. Our long abscence with no pastoral care lor the church, and much ol untuwfrd influence from without, had led many ol thorn to go

You may learn from Mr. Sturgis about one Capt.
W. H. Hayes who defeated a plan for
Christian teachers on McAskill'e Island by making
a written agreement with the king not to allow any
missionaries to land there for ten years! This was
done that the missionaries might not interfere with
his making money out of the natives.
You will be pained to learu of the death of

Y'ou will learn much of interest about her, her
sickness and death from her husband who is on the

loss to our mission to have such a break in our
forces just at this time. He was just getting a good

Rev. S. C. Damon,
Dear Sir :—Being
fully aware of tha fact that
you are always glad to hear news concerning Teasels and their crews after leaving Honolulu for a
voyage, I send you a line or two that may serve
insertion in tho marine journal. The Hawaiian
bark Mauna Loa, Brigga, arrived at this island on
Not. 22nd, 1871, 19 days from Honolulu. The
passage down was a very pleasant one. The
cruise were mainly from the wrecked fleet in the
Arctic ; many of the foremast hands having been
officers in the whaling fleet, and they were tho
most ablcbodied, efficient, and orderly ship's
crew it has ever been my pleasure to sail with.
They could sing well too, Mr. Editor, I like to
hear men sing heartily on shipboard. It is an
infallible sign of a cheerful
heart;
and where a
cheerful heart beats in tbo bosom of a man be entertains a sense of his own superiority and realizes what is due alike to his Maker and his fellowman. I always think thero is something radically wrong on board of the ship whose crew
does not sing and if there is one place more than

found on board a number of the bound volumes
of the Friend, and frrand them very valuable indeed, Dot only for the interesting .articles contained in them, but as works of reference, and it
seems to me that no better Directory or Guide
Book to the Hawaiian Kingdom could bo purchased and as a Record of past events fraught
with the greatest of interest to the nation I hardly know how the resident of Honolulu can do
without it. I have derived more information
from its columns concerning the commercial advancement in tho islands than I could possibly
have dono by a long residence at them, after the
more important,events had transpired. A perusal of the column headed Missing too tells its
own tale. How many anxious hearts look to it
for relief from years of agonized suspense, and
this too seems to be one of the most gratifying
proofs to mc of its value; that its worth, as u
medium of communication between loved ones
and those who have wandered away from homo
and its sweet influence, should be telt the world
over, and a glance at these anxious enquires
broatbing love in every letter prove that it is so.
Long may it flourish and bo the bearer of good
tidings as a true friend always should do. The
Mauna Loa, after landing Mr. Geo. E. Weston
and some supplies, sailed for Baker's Island, at
which place she was to land 25 native laborers,
and proceed on her cruise. On Dec. 9th the bark
Lagoda, Capt. Swift,arrived off the island cruising ; Captain reported all well on board ; had
sprung his topmast in a gale on Dec. 2nd ; hud
seen nothing but one humpback since leaving
Honolulu 20 days before ; she sailed lor tbe*Weetward the same day and would touch at Baker's
Island.
On the 10th of Doc. the whaling bark Progress
Capt. Dowden, arrived off the island and just
after making land, sighted a very large school of
sperm whale close in shore; struck four and
saved three of them turning out one hundred
barrels. After standing off and ob the island
until the 22od, sho sailed for the westward and
would touch at tho King Mills group for wood
and fruit. I boarded this vessel in company with
Capt. Hempstead just after she made the island,

a volume of the Friend open and the Captain informed mo that had it not been for the sailing
directions for the l'hccnix Group published in it
be would have been in a " pretty niese," his
oliarta having the islands misplaced, and some not
laid down at all—another thrilling instance of a
true friend in a tight place. May it prove valuable to many such, and whether they steer for a
heavenly or an earthly harbor by its direetioos
may they ever find it is the earnest wish ot

The Hassler Expedition.
A new expedition of great importance to
the interests of Science if not Commerce,
has sailed from Boston in connection with
the United States Coast Survey. A new
steamer, the Hassler, of 436 tons, provided
with a steam launch to run in shoal water,
has been buill and is to sail for the Pacific
Ocean, where it will be permanently employed, but the voyage out is made the occasion for important scientific explorations.
On leaving Boston the Hassler will sail
direct for the West Indies, where the new
apparatus for deep sea dredging will be
tested near the Island of St. Thomas. The
vessel will go outside the West India Islands
to investigate the great current that enters
the gulf of Mexico, and how the gulf stream
is supplied ; then eastward, seeking the
greatest depths of the Atlantic Ocean ; next
to Rio Janeiro, the east coast of Patagonia
and the Falkland Islands, where investigation will be made of the currents that come
from the Souih Pole into the Atlantic. The
Hassler will then pass through the Straits of
Magellan into the Pacific, exploring the
Straits on the way, and then through the
archipelago of Chiloe, striking out into the
ocean toward the Islands of San Juan Fernandez. This will be during the month of
February. Next summer will be devoted to
the exploration of the coast from. Panama to
San Francisco, the islands west of Lower
California, and the voyage may extend as
far north as Puget's Sound.
A scientific party has been organized
under the direction of Prof. Pierce, Superintendent of the Coast Survey, to make investigations and form collections that shall
subserve the general objects of science. Of
this party, Prof. Agassiz will be the chief,
and will devote himself principally to natural history. The expenses of this part of the
expedition are defrayed by private funds and
not by the Government.
The party will be
occupied about a year in its investigations
and the vessel will remain on the Pacific
coast to carry on the survey. N. Y. Observer.

Deaths from Drink.—Doctor Edward
Jarvis, statistician of the General Life Insurance Company of London, furnishes the
following statement, as showing the death
of persons who are intemperate as compared
with an equal number of persons of temperate habits. He says lhat if 100,000 intemperate persons be taken from fifty to seventy
years, and an equal number of corresponding ages, who are not intemperate, 32 of the
former will die as often as ten of the latter.
Out of 100,000 of each, 15,907 of the intemperate will be dead before fifty of age,
but of those not intemperate, 4 266 only will
be dead. From fifty to sixty years, the comparative number of deaths will be 6,419
and 2,254, and from sixty to seventy they
will be 55,175 and 33,280, Here is an argument ad rem which should be much more
potential than any prohibitory laws to check
the suicidal growth of habits whose fatal results are thus mathematically demonstrated.
The following persons will find letters
for them in care of the Chaplain, Martin
Kelley, Daniel Kershaw, George W. Hulsc,
and Reuben Sherman.

HYMN.
In cloud by day, in fire by Dight,
Jehovah's pillared symbol bung;
Anil day and night, in Israel's sight,
Its heaven-sent token earthward Hung.
It rested o'er their sticred tent.—
And in tin ir camp the host abode ;
it lilted thence, and onward went.—
And they its desert pathway trotle.
They saw it rest. Ibey saw it rise,
The signal or Jehovah's will ;

of moral apathy.
A late number of St. Andrew's Magazine of this place, says, in " a few words to
parishoners," " Don't criticise your clergyman's sermons. They cost him much labor
and anxious thought," which seems to us
to be very strange advice. There has never
been much of value in literary and spiritual
result, without " labor and anxious thought."
But where would we be in the world of
books without the severe and sifting reviews
and the free criticism that so carefully
weighs and guages, each new product?
Pastors of the more liberal churches here
have expressed themselves in a similar way,
deprecating criticism of the methods in
which they may choose to carry on their
peculiar work. It is difficult to explain the
cause of such apparent confessions of weakness.
All that men have won of religious freedom and independence has been through a
very different principle Irom this.

benefit of that free and searching criticism
which is so necessary and valuable to all
other enterprises in the fields of.thought and
human influence.
This feature of their position is felt by
many of the profession, who anxiously watch
for signs of choice or condemnation in regard to the intellectual and spiritual food
which they deal out to their flocks, and who
for want of definite evidences of such acceptance or non-acceptance, feel alone, and

The regular meeting of the Association
for January was well attended and interesting. The treasurer reported the Association
in debt about $114, over the amount of cash
in the treasury. The Cainmittee on the
Chinese Sunday School, reported progress,
with very encouraging prospects. Mr. T.
R. Walker, the Committee on Topics for the
evening, spoke on the Use and Abuse of
Fiction his discourse, both in its historical
and critical parts, was most entertaining and
instructive. The meeting joined in an informal discussion on the same subject after
he had finished. This is a new feature in
the monthly meetings and one that promises
to add much to their interest. One member
at every meeting is expected to read a paper
or be prepared to speak on a subject which
he has announced at the proceeding meeting,
and which shall afterwards be opened to the
other members for discussion. The subject
for December was the Use and Abuse of Narcotic Stimulants ; that for the present month,
is the question how the Association can
best work in relation to the temperance reform.
The daily prayer meetings which have
been conducted by the Bethel and Fort St.
Churches through a large part of the month,
have bean attended with much evident interest and teeling.
The Chinese Sunday School of which
mention has been made, has been commenced with most encouraging circumstances. It is held at the Sunday School
rooms of the Fort St. Church on Sunday
afternoons, the Association having given up
their prayer meeting for this work. The
opening day was stormy and the attendance
both of teachers and scholars was very
small. On the second Sunday there were
sixteen or seventeen Chinamen present and
about as many teachers; and this number
has since increased. A large proportion
of those who attend have previously
partially learned to read, and so in a
measure able to receive religious instruction. It is to be hoped that all who may
be interested in the success of this enterprise or in the improvement of their own
Chinese servants, will allow and encourage
the latter to attend.
The second Sunday of last November
was observed by Y. M. C. Associations
throughout the world as a day of prayer
for their work. As it has been the custom of our Association to observe every
Sunday in a similar manner, our ignorance
of this arrangement is of less consequence.
There are now 1,448 Y. M. C. Associations,
860 of which are in the United States.
A jury of investigation in Illinois lately
returned a verdict that the action of a school

of a scholar as a means of correction, was as

AamoSinuptehrssgfeJapan.
(n the November number of the Friend for
1871 we gave some particulars respecting
this singular people. The following additional fact may uot be uninteresting to our
readers. Some years ago a naturalist visited
Japan, and was very desirous of obtaining
specimens of the skulls of that people, which
,
are of such peculiar formation. Capt. V
the British Consul of Hakodadi, was knowing to the fact that three skulls were purloined from the burial place of the Amos,
which were sent to England. Gloom and
despair came over the Amos, who made a
serious representation of the theft to the Japanese Government. The affair was brought
officially before the British Minister, who
pledged his honor, if the skullscould be traced
out and found, that they should be returned.
Search was made, the skulls were found and
brought back to Japan and delivered over to
the people, and the only serious result which
followed was the dismissal cf the Consul, but
whether he was honored with an appointment elsewhere our informant did not tell us.
We hear the report upon good authority,
that George Latbrop, Esq., son of Dr.
George A. Latbrop, formerly of Honolulu,
was married -in London, a few months ago,
to Miss Rose Hawthorne, daughter of the
late Nathaniel Hawthorne, the well-known
author. The happy couple have returned to
America, and are residing with Dr. LathropV
family in Fairville, New Jersey.

the SaodwJcij [.lands did before him, and if
the same prudent course is pursued in the
one easels was done in the other, good results -wiH follow. ■*
* «
Tbe missislfcaries had to meet great diffi'-niwies. In uddilion to the superstitions of
*
sucrva people, they had to fight small-pox,
measles, scarlatina, and other diseases, all of
which were introduced from foreign ships,
which, unless arrested, would have nearly
depopulated the country. When the fever
earne on that is a part of those diseases, the
native* had one resort, to bathe In the sea,
and death usually followed. This had to be
prevented, and our way of treating those diseases enforced. They contended for the lives
of that people, and have so far succeeded as
lo stay their apparent earthly doom. We do
not think the history of the labors of these
benefactors has yet been fairly written, it
will occupy no menn pface m the history of
the events that have changed the character
of the world."
Several reasons lead us to copy the foregoing remarks of Mr. Houghton. First.
He distinctly recognizes the fact that the
revolutions of the Hawaiian Kingdom during the last half century have been bloodless.
They have been effected, as he aptly remarks, " by moral means alone." These
are the revolutions in which we rejoice, and
in which Christians should take special delight, because brought about by the silent
yet potent influence of the leaven " of gos"
pel truth. Second. Mr. Houghton most
admirably puts the point respecting the missionary influence upon the decrease of the
population, which point was prominently
noticed by Gail Hamilton. Mr. Houghton
remarks most aptly, the missionaries hnd
"
to fight small-pox, measles, scarlatina, and
other diseases." Again, "they contended
for the lives of the people, and have so far
succeeded as to stay their apparent earthly
doom." Third. Mr. Houghton makes a
strong point upon the present and prospective
influence of the islands upon China and Japan, but especially upon the latter Empire.
Some of our readers may smile at this idea,
but there is doubtless much truth in it. The
social, political, civil and religious affairs of
these islands are as a " city set on a hill
which cannot be hid." They occupy a central position in this great ocean and part of
the World. We know that their influence
has already been great upon other islands of
this ocean, and we cannot see any thing unreasonable in supposing that China and Japan will be more or less affected by the
problem which has been here solved. It
must necessarily be so. Taking this view
of the position of this kingdom, we regard a
residence here ss eminently desirable. So
far are the Sandwich Islands becoming a
stale subject for newspaper writers and bookmakers, they really are just now coming up
for discussion. Hereafter, not alone will
.missionaries and their friends and opponents
write about the affairs of this "little pinhead kingdom," and " water mellon patch in
mid-ocean," as a certain California editor
speaks of us, but political writers and philosophical essayists and statesmen will study the
changes and revolutions which have been
here effected. It is not the territorial size
of a nation nor the number of its population
which makes it interesting as a subject of investigation, but rather its position and internal management, hence Greece and Palestine, with their limited territories and population, are among the most interesting and
remarkable countries which have ever exist-

Sir :—I have the honor to inform you that
the Embassy from His Imperial Majesty, the
Tenno of Japan, accredited to the Treaty
Powers, now on its way to this port, may be
expected in this city about the 16th instant
by steamship America. From here they purpose proceeding to Washington, and thence
to various Courts in Europe. The Embassy
is composed of the following officers ot high
rank, viz:
\
Iwabtabc—Formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs,
now Prime Minister of Japan, coming as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Treaty Powers.
Knio—Member of Mis Imperial Majesty's Privy
Council, and Assistant Ambassador.
Oumi—Chief Minister of Finance, and Assistant
Ambassador.
Ito—Assistant Minister of Pttblio Works, and
Ambassador of tbe ISecoud Rank.
Yaha Gfcm—Assistant Minister of Foroign Affairs, and Ambassador of the Second Rank.
Accompanying the Embassy as their suite,
will be eight Secretaries, twenty-one officials
selected from the different Departmental Bureaux of the Empire, a Surgeon and attendants, comprising in all forty-four persons.
During their stay in this city they will occupy rooms at the Grand Hotel.
It has long been desirable that the ruling
classes of Japan should by a tour of observation personally judge of the advantages of
foreign intercourse without dependence upon
reports from those of inferiorrank and years.
This Embassy, comprising many of the highest and most influential men of the Empire,
contemplates.a thorough study,of Western
civilisation, as well as considerations connected with a revision of foreign treaties.

May it please yoib Majksty
:
It is customary, on laying the corner-stone of a
public building, intended to lie of lasting character,
to improve the opportunity for directing attention to
its object. Tbe ceremonies and pageant of to-day
attest the extraordinary significance of an act to be
done. Not only is the completion of a large structure, with convenient arrangements, anticipated
with pride—neither ran we overlook the proot of
material progress and increased resources, furnished by the extent of tbe work. Its nature, place
and object, indicate permanence and dignity in the
political arrangements of a kingdom, which, within
a century, has been redeemed Irom barbarism, and
has demonstrated its capacity to regulate its in-

which hits been for tbe healing of tbe nation,
llut while all should acknowledge, with reverential
humility, tbe direct agency of a Kind l>rovidence,
thus signally manifested, it is most suitable toremem
>>«r also that these islands are largely indebted to the
whole world for the benetlcent innuences of civilisatinn, and its gladsome light dillused through so many
channels, The art of liovernment is one of its most
valued fruits ;—and this Kingdom, which by treaty
after treaty, has been warmly welcomed into the

can assert witb honest pride that it is eo.ua! to tbe

Tbe general influence of good government is exerted by moral power, and the elliciency «f s good

Ibis nation is not powerful in any ordinary sense.
It has neither fleets nor armies to make its strength

earned the respect of tbe entire world by tbe justice,

Tho Treasurer's Report of this Assoeia'
tion, published in another column, affords us
an opportunity to offer a few remarks respecting the necessity of vigorously keeping up
this organization, as well as others of a similar churacter, viz : " St. George's Society,"
s Friend Society," " German

as true now as eighteen hundred

In answering this question,
we remark that our circumstances are very

contributing to its funds ; but we should suppose every right-minded American, in prosperous circumstances, would feel it a privilege
to contribute SI per month, or $12 per
annum, to aid his fellow countrymen who
may have been less prosperous in the struggle of life, especially as we live under a Government which has never taxed its subjects
for the support of the poor.
The American Association has one rule
which we think is too stringent, viz i a beneficiary must have resided on the islands
twelve months before he can receive aid.
The reply is, that our funds will not allow
the alteration of the rule.
Our limits will not allow us to discuss
this subject farther, although we have some
thoughts we should bo glad to express about
" the passenger tax of #2," the Queen's
Hospital," the liability of ships landing
passengers," etc., etc.
"
"
First—The Hawaiian Government has
never passed any4aw for levying taxes for
the support of the poor. No one's property
is taxed for their support. This fact should
be well considered when foreign residents
are called upon to aid their fellow countrymen. We think the time has fully come
when t|ie Hnwniian Government should seriously consider this question, for otherwise
this Government cannot claim to have fully
framed its laws to harmonize with those of
civilized and Christian nations.
Second—Foreign consuls" can provide for
indigent seamen, but not for citizens of their

KiuMArriNO in the South Seas. Being a narrative of a three months' cruise of H. B. M. ship Ho
sario. By Capt. George Palmer, R. JV, F. R.
G. S. Edinburgh: 1871.
■
The world has finally found out that kidnapping has been going forward in the Pacific for many years. It has been tacitly covered np, under the plea of securing laborers
for Queensland, Fiji Islands, and Tahiti, but
the facts stand out so glaringly, that the
British Government has finally begun to
move in the matter.
This volume is the
"
narrative of the cruise of a British man-ofwar to examine and ferret out the business,
or as Capt. Palmer remarks in the opening
paragraph of his preface :
" The following pages are written with the
sole object of exposing the deeds that have
been perpetrated among the beautiful islands
of the Pacific by men calling themselves
Englishmen, and whose transactions have
been invariably carried on under cover of
our glorious old flag."
This is a most interesting volume, and
cheerfully.
Fourth—There are several hundred American citizens on these' islands in good and
prosperous circumstances, yet have they all
dona their duty in this respect?
The Americnn Relief Fund Association
was organized February 22, 1865. Only
167 members have ever subscribed towards
this fund, and daring the past year only 65.
Of tbe 102 to account for, 50 have withdrawn,
33 have left the islands, and 19 have died.
This is a voluntary association, and of course
every One must exercise his own choice about
appears at a most opportune time, when the
British public is aroused to consider this subject in consequence of the murder of Bishop
Patteson. The evil may be arrested, but that
the guilty will be punished we have little
hope. It is no easy matter to arrest and
bring to.trial such men as Captains Hayes
and Pease, whom we arc ashamed to confess
are both Americans, but are intimately engaged in this kidnapping business. Captain
Palmer, of tbe Rosario, when he seized the
schooner Daphne, found it'no easy matter to
prove the guilt of the offenders before an
English court in Sydney. This volume contains n most interesting report of the trial.
From the public newspapers, we learn that
this subject will soon be brought before the
British Parliament and a thorough investigation be undertaken. If it results in break-
respective nations requiring aid.
Third—lt is natural and proper that foreigners residing on these islands, under present circumstances, should provide for their
fellow countrymen in distress; hence we
most strenuously argue that every British
subject in prosperous circumstances ought to
have his name enrolled as a member of the
St. Geerge's Society,'' and every American
for the same reason ought to have his name
enrolled as a member of the " Relief Fund
Association," and so Germans ought to belong to the "German Club." So far as aiding in supporting their indigent and distressed fellow countrymen, they ought to pay
their annual subscriptions promptly and
irig np the nefarious system and the punishBishop Patteson's death
ment of the guilty,
will not be in vain.
IwakurDinner
'sSapGtehrcenhd
inSanFrancisco.
Iwakura, the highest official personage of
the Japanese Embassy, delivered a most remarkable speech at the dinner in San Francisco. He spoke in English, and was loudly
applauded. Our limits will only allow us to
copy as follows :
" Within a year a feudal system, firmly
established many centuries ago, has been
completely abolished without firing a gun or
shedding a drop of blood. These wonderful
results have been accomplished by the united
action of a government and people now pressing jointly forward in the peaceful paths of
progress. What country in the middle ages
broke down its feudal system without war ?
These facts assure us that the mental changes
in Japan exceed even the material improvements. By educating our women we hope
to insure greater intelligence in future generations. With this end in view our maidens
have already commenced to come to you for
their education. Japan cannot claim originality as yel, but will aim to exercise practical
wisdom by adopting the advantages and
avoiding the errors taught her by the history
of those enlightened nations whose experience is her teacher. Scarcely a year ago 1
examined minutely ihe financial system of
the United States, and while in Washington
received most valuable assistance from distinguished officers of your Treasury Department. Every detail learned was faithfully
reported to my Government, and the suggestions then made have been adopted, and some
of them are now already in practical operation. In the department of public works now
under my administration the progress has
been satisfactory. Railroads are being built
both in the eastern and western portions of
the Empire. Telegraph wires are stretching
over many hundred miles of our territory
and nearly 1,000 miles will be completed
within a few months. Lighthouses now line
our coasts, and our shipyards are active. All
these assist our civilization, and we fully acknowledge our indebtedness to you and other
foreign nations, as ambassadors and as men.
Our greatest hope is to return from our mission laden with results valuable to our beloved country, and calculated to advance
permanently her material and intellectual
condition. Japan is anxious to press forward.
The red disc in the center of our national
flag shall no longer appear as a wafer over a
sealed empire, but henceforth be in fact what
it is designed to be—the noble emblem of the
rising sun, moving onward and upward amid
the enlightened nations of the world."

We desire to call special attention to
the following appeal of a New Bedford shipmaster, it is a burning shame for whalemen to kill off the walrus in the Arctic
ocean. Suppose.the nationsof Europe should
aend fleets of armed vessels to destroy the
fisheries and oyster-beds along the American
coast, would there not be war ! Yet whalemen penetrate the cold regions of the north
and literally take ihe food from the poor
Esquimaux, whose only staple food is the
walrus meat. We hope to hear no more of
such destruction of a poor people's food.
WalrusCatching.
To the Editor of the New Bedford Standard :
For the past three or four years the North
Pacific whaling fleet has been taking walrus
in the months of July and August, as the
whales in those months go into the ice and
around Point Barrow, out of the reach of
whalemen. During all the years from 1849
to 1867 the whalemen had let tho walrus
alone or taken a very few. In 1868 a few
ships commenced taking walrus, and did
quite well, securing from 200 to 600 walrus,
and destroying half as many more. In 1869
a large number of ships were engaged in the
business, but in 1870 the whole fleet (with
two or three exceptions) "went in" and took
nil they could. Probably not less than 50,000
female walrus, with their young, were killed
and destroyed. The past year three-fourths
of the fleet were engnged in the business, but
the walrus were shy and far into the ice, and
they did not do as well. Shipmasters had
to send their boats twenty and twenty-five
miles to find them.
The Arctic walrus are nearly all females,
who go into the Arctic in the summer months
to bring forth and nurse their
young, which
the mothers are very fond of and attached to.
They will never forsake their young, but will
take them in their flippers and hold them to
their breasts, even when their destroyers
are putting their.sharp lances through and
through them and the blood streaming from
every side, uttering the most heart-rending
and piteous cries, and so until they die, and
then the little one must starve, unless the
whaleman can thrust his lance through it and
send it to the bottom. This is one of the'
most cruel occupations that 1 know of, and
many a humane whaleman has felt guilty
and turned aside as he did it. The walrus
average about twenty gaUqps of oil and four
pounds of ivory.
But the worst feature of the business is
that the natives of the entire Arctic shores
from Cape Thaddeus, in the Anadir Sea, to
the farthest point north, a shore line of more
than a thousand miles on the west coast,
with the large island of St. Lawrence, the
smaller ones of Diomede and King's islands,
all thickly inhabited, and our own coast of
Northern Alaska, are now almost entirely dependant on the walrus for their food, clothing,
boats and dwellings. Twenty years ago
whales were plenty and easily caught, but
the whales have been destroyed and driven
north so that now the natives seldom get a
whale. This is a sad state of things for
them. The question now is, Shall our whale-

men keep on taking the walrus and eventually starve and depopulate these Arctic shores?
It will certainly come to that soon. Already
they are starving or on the point of starvation.
Several captains lately arrived home have
told me that they saw the natives, thirty and
forty miles from land, on the ice, trying to
catch a walrus to eat, and were living on the
carcasses of those that the whalemen had
killed. What must the poor creatures do this
cold winter with no whale or walrus?
Capt. Barker, who was shipwrecked and
passed the winter with them last year, says
that they were upon the point of starvation
in many places on account of the walrus
being so scarce and shy, and he was ashamed
of himself to think he had been engaged in
the business, and would never do it again.
1 have seen most of the captains lately arrived home, and they all tell the same story,
That the natives are or will starve if the business is not stopped. Some say '• I never will
take another walrus ; " but several others I
have talked with say they won't take walrus
if others will not, which means just this, "I
shall take all I can." But it wants the condemnation of the shipowners and agents here
in New Bedford, for I think their ships can
be better and more profitably employed in
whaling. TheTe are plenty of humpback and
California grey whales yet south of the Arctic, and long sperm whale cruises will pay
better than the early bowhead whaling. Ships
csn engage in sperm whaling until June or
the Ist of July. Ships the past five years
have not more than paid their ice damages
up to the Ist of July. I think this is the
opinion of most shipmasters.
At any rate, I ask my brother shipmasters
to spare the walrus, and let the hospitable,
kind and good natives of the Arctic shores
live. When the natives of Plover Bay were
told of the loss of the fleet north they said,
Bad, very bad, for you," and then added,
Good, good for us! more walrus now ! "
Man's inhumanity to man makes countMess thousands mourn," says one, and now
this cold winter, I have no doubt, there is
mourning in many an Arctic home ns the
little ones cry for something to eat and the
parents have nothing to give, for the walrus
are killed or driven far away.

from newspapers and other sources, notices
cf the good work in which those are engaged
whom we have known at the islands in
former years, and with some of whom we
have been engaged in various enterprises of
mornl reform. The following we clip from a
"circular" issued from a committee of the
trustees of " Hampton Normal and Agricultural School " of Hampton, Va., November,
.
1871:
" It is proposed to issue from this institution an illustrated monthly four-pago newspaper (24x36 inches, full size) to be called
the Southern Workman, devoted to the industrial classes of the South. S. C. Armstrong, Editorial Manager; J. F. B. Marshall,
Business Manager. Terms: one dollar a
year, in advance. The first number is expected to appear not later than next Christmas, dated January Ist, 1872; succeeding
numbers on or before the first of every month.
" The Southern Workman will be printed
on fair white book paper. Mr. J. H. Osgood,
of Boston, has generously offered a picture
Irom Every Saturday for each number. It is
hoped to secure further contributions, in order
to present, in each number, a variety of illustrations, embracing pictures of the best inventions in agricultural and household machinery,
of good stock ofevery kind, offamous places
and scenes, and of domestic life; also portraits of distinguished men."
There is a political party in California
which has undertaken lo exclude Chinese
and Japanese from the privilege of American
citizenship, and even Irom enjoying the fruits
of their labor. At the late grand dinner
given in honor of the Japanese Ambassadors,
the Rev. Dr. Stebbinsgave that class of politicians a home-thrust, which has excited their
utmost ire.
" One word more." he said, " and I have
done. There is nobody here but ourselves,
and that one word I would say is, we here

with these exclusive civilizations. The

Honolulu, and in the presence of '• the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London,

excursions, we have thoughtfully compared
those cities with Honolulu and the islands
generally. The result of this comparison is
stated above, and we are fully prepared to
prove the truthfulness of the statement by an
appeal to facts. There are few Christian
cities or countries where the number of sittings in the various churches will more nearly
correspond with the number of the inhabitants; where a larger proportion of the people can read and write ; where the children
are more generally gathered in Sabbath and
week-day schools; where the Sabbath is
more generally observed ; where places of
public amusements nnd drinking are more
effectually closed upon the Sabbath ; where
in all the business and social intercourse of
life, the various races dwell together in more
harmony ; where every man's house is more
essentially his castle ; where the inhabitants
ofall classes are better protected in their persons and rights; where there exists a better
type of Christian civilization ; where there
is less of the sectarian spirit; where a man
is more respected, because he is a man, and
behaving himself as a man and gentleman,
will be respected, from whatever part of the
world he may have come, or whatever may
be his calling.
Now is it right and proper to brand such
a community with opprobious epithets? If
the Ritualistic party of the English Church
wish to establish a Bishopric in Honolulu,
let them do so, but in doing so, let them not
call us hard names. If the abettors of this
undertaking incline persistently to ignore
what American Christians have done through
their missionaries on these islands, let them
do so ; but in the name of all that is good,
honorable and Christian, let the Prelates of
the English Church refrain from speaking of
the native inhabitants of these islands 89
and the foreign population as
" heathens,"
" the refuse of civilization who mingled with
them."
Cruise of H. B. M.'s Ship Rosario.—By
way of Sydney, we learn that H. B. M.'s
ship Rosario has visited the scene of the
murder of Bishop Patteson and the Rev. J.
Atkin, and has exacted retribution, by burning villages and blowing natives to pieces.
The friends of the mission as well as of
humanity and civilization, deeply regret this
as not only a useless but cruel step, and one
unworthy of the British flag. It is well
known that the massacre was the result of
cruelties practiced by kidnapping vessels,and
the reprisals by the iiosario's crew will merely
ensure the slaughter of the next boat's crew
of white men who may venture near the
Swallow Islands. Discredit is cast in "#Olll6
quarters upon the account given of the teprisals by the Sydney papers; but it is difficult to believe that such circumstantial narratives as we have received should be without
foundation. The Rev. Mr. Codrington, head
of the Melanesian Mission, is at present in

TIE FRIEND, APRIL, 1812.
THE FRIEND.
APRIL 1, 1872.
A Sketch of the Gambier Isles.
At the south-eastern extremity of the archipelago of Tuamotu lie the Gambier Isles,
forming a small state under the protection
of the French. The regent lives at Mangiivera, the largest of these isles. France assumed the guardianship in 1845, and established conditions fot the government. In
1867, the time of the recall of M. Hyppolite
from Tahiti, nearly all foreigners left these
islands, and iheir departure was gladly witnessed by the native government, which,
freed from all restraint, could monopolize the
trade in pearls and oblige the people to buy
their necessaries of them. This political
isolation stopped commerce and delayed the
progress of civilization to such a degree that
the value of silver was not commonly known.
It also brought about disease by preventing
the people from obtaining any variety in
their food. The French have put a stop to
this, and the natives have been compelled to
adopt these laws : Commerce shall be free.
Every one can exercise his own choice in
religion and education. Quarrels shall be
settled by the French tribunal. All corporal
punishment shall be abolished. So now the
isles are frefe to all.
The climate is well tempered, and the seasons quite strongly marked. The songs and
dances common to other tribes are unknown
here. Foreigners are greeted with evident
marks of dissatisfaction by them, yet they
are unmolested. If the Catholic Mission will
use its influence to support the authority of
the French government, much improvement
may be looked for. The great thing necessary is to teach them to work.
The soil is not very fertile, and most of
the land is surrounded by high mountains,
while in the valleys grow cocoanuts, oranges,
bananas and the breadfruit. This latter forms
when fermented the principal food. The taro
is rarely found. The pandanus tree abounds,
especially upon the old coral reefs. The soil
in many places seems peculiarly adapted to
the cultivation of cotton and coffee. The
harbor abounds in fish, yet the natives do
not catch many. Their natural indolence
and want of foresight prevent their taking
pains to obtain fish and animal food for
themselves, and they suffer from it. Most
of their time is spent in obtaining the pearl
oyster, and every year they procure fifty
tons of nacre ; yet the beds are becoming
exhausted from lack of care.
The race is fast fading away, and very
few of either sex attain old age. The women
are decreasing faster than the men. Education is nre, yet quite a number taught by
the mission speak French. The boys' school
at Mangavera has about 100 pupils from 6
to 12 years of age, and the girls', a little out
of the city, numbers 60 pupils, from 8 to 13
years old. They are taught to work as well
as to read, and ihe schools arc having a good
Spite of the low condition of the
natives, there are some pretty residences,
and the cathedral, adorned with nacre, is very
handsome. Seen from the sea, the chief
city, Kikitea, presents a beautiful aspect, and
only the pleasant part of the place is seen.
It is to be hoped that commercial relations
may soon be established between these islands and Tahiti, thus stimulating the natives
to a desire of trade and elevating Ihem.—

tT* In recording the death of Mr. Conant,
we are reminded of that of his only son,
which occurred on board the United States
ship Powhatan in 1867. We received from
the chaplain of the ship the following letter,
which bears such honorable testimony to the
character of the young man, that we publish
it. He had served for several years in the
United States navy, and during the rebellion
was on board a blockading vessel off the
Southern coast. We would merely add that
through the kind offices of E. Perkins, Esq.,
former American Consul at Lahaina, Mr.
Conant received over 8200, the amount due
his son at the time of his death.
U. S. Flagship ' 4 Powhatan," )
Callao, May 27, 1867.
Rev. S. C. Damon— My Dear Friend:
Very strange are the ways of Providence. I
have recently written to you asking your
good offices in obtaining a Bible in Hawaiian
for James Conant. Last Thursday, the 23d,
he fell from the fore-yard to the deck, and
survived the fall only two or three hours.
The men were unbending the foresail. It
was caught in some way, and Conant was
pushing it, when it suddenly gave way and
precipitated him to the deck. He was respectably buried on" shore in the foreign
cemetery. I write to you of this sad occurrence, so that, if you have not yet sent the
Bible, you may retain it, and that you may
put a notice of the death in your paper, in
order that it may thus come lo the knowledge of his friends. I gave you before the
name of the island from which he came. I
understood him to say that his father was
an American.
1 am happy to add that ho was one of our
best men, very highly esteemed by all, and
the testimony of his shipmates is also that
he was a religious man. He was a Bible
reader, and an attendant on our prayermeetings and Bible class.
You will be pleased to hear that there is
a marked increase of religious interest on
board. There is an increasing number of
the men who are striving to follow the Lord.
Most sincerely your brother in Christ,
Donald McLakkn.

By the next mail after the departure
of Judge Hartwell, we received a copy of the
Natick Bulletin, announcing the death of his
father. When in the United States in 1869,
it was our privilege to visit tbe early home
of the Judge, which was one of many beautiful homes in the immediate vicinity of the
spot where Elliot the Apostle to the Indians,
first gathered the natives of the forest to
preach among them the gospel. We copy
as follows :
41 Our
community has been startled by the
announcement of the sudden death of otedman Hartwell, Esq., which occurred on Wednesday at about 5 o'clock, P. M. He was 71
years and 10 months old. His disease was
congestion of the lungs. Mr. Hartwell was
one of the oldest residents of this town, a
man of lhe strictest integrity, and one in
whom the town has entrusted much of its
local management, lie having filled the various offices with rare ability, always taking
a decided interest in all improvements, and
counseling every measure tending to the
public good. He has represented the town
in the General Court. The deceased is the
father of General Alfred S. Hartwell, who
served with distinction in the late war, and
is now an Associate Judge of the Supreme.
Court of the Sandwich Islands; also General
Charles Hartwell, now a Captain and Brevet
Lieutenant Colonel in the regular army now
serving on the frontier. His wisdom will be
missed in our counsels, and the citizens will
feel that in his demise they have met with
an irreparable loss."
The following tribute to Dr. B.
Seemann
we copy from a late number of Trubner's Oriental Record, published in London.
We distinctlyrecall the visit of Dr. Seemann,
nearly twenty years ago, to Honolulu, when
attached to one of the British vessels of war
in search of Sir John Franklin. At that
time he was a most enthusiastic naturalist,
and it appears that he has made natural history the study of his life, and had acquired
a world-wide fame :
14 Obituary.—Dr. Berthold Seemann was
born at Hanover in the year 1825. He was
educated in the Lyceum of his native city,
and obtained the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Gottingen. As a
scientific writer he was widely known by his
Narrative of the Voyage of H. M. S. Herald,
published in 1853; a popular History of
Palms, in 1855; the Botany of the Voyage
of H. M. S. Herald, in 1557 ; Viti-an Acof a Government Mission to the Viti
or Fiji Islands, in 1862; Popular Nomenclature of the American Flora; Twenty-four
Views of the Coast and Islands of the Pacific; and Dottings on the Roadside in Panama, Nicaragua and Mosquito, written in
collaboration with Captain Bedford Pirn, R.
N., and published in 1869. Dr. Seemann
was also a frequent contributor to the. leading scientific journals of Londoti, and editor
of the Banplandia, and the Journal of Botany, British and Foreign. He died at the
Javali Mine, Nicaragua, on the 10th of October last, after a short illness. He was a member of nearly all the scientific societies of
count
London."

Judge Davis was a native of these islands, but in early
youth wait sent to the United States, where he received a
thorough classical education, and afterwards traveled for mmm
time In Europe, acquiring with remarkable facility the French
nnd Spanish language*, to which he subsequently added soirconsiderable knowledge of the German. Returning to the islands he embarked In mercantile pursuits, with varying ourocas, uniil in 1862 he took up the study of Isw. Gifted hy nature with a clear and logical mind and quickness of prrrcp
lion, he applied himself with earnest industry totherturl\,
and In a remarkably brief period could with truth be termed a
well read lawyer. In 1860 he received the appointment of
Police Magistrate for this city, Ihe duties of which he discharged during his tight yesrs of Incumbency in a aianrwr
that gave the fullest satisfaction to his superiors and lo the
community at large. On ihe 16th of February, 1864, he w»k
apjM.imeil Second Associate Justice of the Supreme Court,
the laborious duties of which position he dtschsrged with dia
Ilnguished ability during his ineunibencv, which cnnlinued Quill July 7th, 1868. While in office, be compiled ami put
through the press Volume II of Hawaiian Law Reports, a
work lor which his scholarly and legal abilities eminently
fitted him. In 1868-9, he was appointed as one of the «■»■mlsdonerM (with R. 11. rtianley. Esq ) to compile and publish,
both in tbe Hawaiianond English languages, the PenalLaws
of ihe Kingdom, and this duty was performed In a manner
that elicited the marked approbation of the Judges of iho
Supreme Court. To sum up ihe character of our laaoentrd

Heathens and the Refuse of Civilization.
Our friends of the Church of England
have lately consecrated a bishop for missionary work in our community, for which promised blessing we tender our hearty thanks.
The " eloquent and impressive sermon " of
the worthy Dean, who officiated on the occasion, the reporter tells us, " riveted the attention of the congregation." We should
rather think it did ! Referring eloquently
to the martyrdom of Bishop Patteson, "the
dead Evangelist of Polynesia," the Dean
tenderly spoke of the approaching departure
of Bishop Willis to encounter the dangers
:i iui hardships of another portion of heatheniloin—the Hawaiian Islands; of the painful
rending of family ties, of the tearing away
the devoted pastor from the flock he had
gathered, to expose him to caprices of the
heathens and refuse of civilization within the
Diocese of Honolulu. Truly, the gallant
Bishop must have felt his soul grow big
within him as he listened, and have obtained
new and startling views of the full heroism of
his own plans. Doubtless his heart yearned
more strongly than ever for the pious navvies
of the Chatham dockyards and the peaceful,
though unheralded, walks on the banks of
the quiet Thames, But he stood the test
and held to his self-denying resolve with
unshaken firmness.
Tbe entirely unfounded impressions which
the conscientious Dean allowed himself to
give in regard to the condition of our community doubtless has its compensations. Besides the missionary stimulus it must have
been to Bishop Willis, it may be something
to us in the way of salutary discipline. Our
pride is beyond anything the most of us
dream of. Witness the valiant rush to the
newspaper " front " to defend ourselves from
an uncomplimentary but careless and nonmalicious utterance of an innocent and probably useful old English clergyman on the
other «ide of the world. Our atmosphere is
thick .with sarcasm and indignant asseveration. AH parties, ecclesiastic and politic,

that speaks of us as heathens and the refuse
of civilization is, to say the least, inappropriate and extfiedoe. But it is probable that it
would not require much search to find a
good many " heathens " in our midst as well

Mr. Webb's Mission to Australia.
The attention of the civilized world has
recently been directed to the Embassy of
Japanese to America and Europe. This is
n noteworthy event. An empire great and
powerful, after ages of sealed seclusion, seeks
alliances with the other great nations and
empires. In some respects, however, we
consider Mr. Webb's mission as one of equal
importance. Here is a man of wealth, an
owner of steamships and builder of vessels
of war, who crosses this broad ocean to complete arrangements for communication by
steam with the growing and prosperous Colonies of Australia. He is not an adventurer,
but a shrewd and far-seeing projector of a
line of steamers, in which he is willing to
invest and risk hundreds of thousands of his
own money. He does not start forth backed
by governments, but simply asks governments
to assist him in carrying out this really
gigantic enterprise. We hope it may prove
no " South Sea bauble," but may speedily become a settled, fixed and solid transaction, connecting America and Austaalia
firmly together. We rejoice that the Hawaiian Government has manifested its good
sense in making such an appropriation as
indicates its good will and readiness to take
its spare of responsibility. Some of the
Australian Colonies have done their part, and
we sincerely hope the United States Government will ensure the success of the enter-
prise.

LKTTRR rSOM AN OLD NAVIGATOR—HK CWTICISKS
MR. PAVY'S PLAN.
Honolulu, March 16, 1872.
Editor Bulletin —I notice in your issue of the
Ist of March an article regarding Arctic explorations. I see a gentleman named Ootave Pavy is
about fitting out an expedition for this purpose.
It is potssihie that Mr. Pavy may not have seen
un article written by my«e! r, giving my views
ilium the bei-t method of reaching the north pole,
:

and mating a passage between the Pacific and
Atlantio oceans. During my experience aa a shipmaster, for thirty-five yean, I have taken a great
interest in studying the history of maritime adventurers, and nave noted very carefully the resalts of their expeditions, and the senses of their
failure*. With all due regard to tbe enterprise
of Mr. Pavy in organising this expedition for the
purpose of reaching the north pole, I wish to claim
to myself whatever merit may be deserved for first
bringing it to the notice of toe public.
Having made these few egotistical remarks, I
wish to make some remarks on the character of
the expedition now being fitted out. I do not believe it will be possible for Mr. Pavy to pass
through the channels between Spitzbergen and
Greenland, or between Nova Zambia and Spitsbergen, as those passages have always been found
blocked with ice, and it would be impossible to
winter in the ice in such a raft as he has constructed. I believe it might be possible for him
to reach the north pole from Wrangell's Land, but
to endeavor to pass into the Atlantic with such a
craft I think would be the height of folly.
I believe the north pole can be reached in the
manner in which Mr. Pavy proposes, but it would
be necessary for him to return to Wrangell's Land
for winter quarters. lam of opinion that a vessel properly fitted for the purpose could make the
passage from Behring's Straits to the Atlantic in
one year from the time of passing Behring'sStraits.
The only reason which has prevented myself
from prosecuting this enterprise was want of
means. Had I had sufficient political influence to
obtain those means from the American Government, tbe secrets of the Polar Ocean on this side
of the continent of America would have been
solved, or I should have been turn est inventus.
In conversation with Mr. Fonard. a member of
the French Geographical Society, I was informed
that he had translated my views on this subject,
and that tlicy were published in tho Rtvue dcs
deux Mondes. Now I thinkcredit should be given
to whom credit is due for any information which
may be beneficial to the world. I therefore claim
that if this enterprise shall be successful, the route
shall be named Long route to the north pole."
"
(Egotism.)
Being an old and experienced navigator, (for
whose qualifications and veracity I can refer to
some of the merchants of San Francisco, vii: J.
C. Merrill, C. W. Brooks and many others,) I
have submitted these remarks, trusting ifthey do
no good, they cannot do any harm.
Yours truly,
Thomas Long.
Senator Sumner on the Future of the
Pacific.—At a meeting of the Antiquarian
Society at Worcester, Mass., October 21st,
1871, Senator Sumner remarked as follows
respecting the future of this great ocean, in-
cluding our little island kingdom :
" Mr. Summer then spoke of the idea sug-
gested in the report of the Council, that the
Pacific would be our Mediterranean Sea, and
said'tne unity of European capital renders it
doubtful if the United States ever regains its
power on the Atlantic Ocean, and it must
improve its opportunity in the other direction.
The Pacific is essentially ours, and it is cf
vast importance that all our rights there be
jealously guarded and defended. In this
connection, he said he anticipated a time
when the Sandwich Islands will become a
part of the jurisdiction of this country, as our
half-way-house to China and Japan. In this
view, the Pacific, he said, is to be to us the
great middle sea of the world. He spoke also
of the high degree of intelligence of the Japanese, and the ease and industry with which
they apply themselves to the acquisition of
knowledge, and of the great importance of
developing fully our international relations
with that peoj'le."

Opening of the Legislative Assembly.
Tbe Legislature of tbe Kingdom, convened by
Royal Proclamation dated the 27th of February
last, met at the Court House in this City to-day
at 12 o'clock noon, in the Supreme Court Room
of the Court House. A large concourse of ladies
and gentlemen filled the Hall outside the Bar of
tbe House. As His Majesty left the Palace in
the State Coach under escort of the Hawaiian
Cavalry,' Major Judd, the Battery on Punch
Bowl and Her Britannic Majesty's sloop-of-war
Scout fired Royal Salutes. On tbe arrival of
tho Royal Cortege at tlie Court House, tho troops
drawn up in line presented arms, the Band played
the National Anthem, and His Majesty, accompanied by tbe Chief Justice and his Ministers, pro]
cccded to the Legislative Hall, when after reading
of prayer by the Vencrablo Archdeacon George
Mason, tho Assembly for 1872 was formally
opened by His Majesty in the following gracious
speech:
Nobles and Rei'resektatives :
At the opening of the Legislative Assembly of 1870,
I commended to its attention Foreign and InterIsland Steam Communication, and the Assembly of
that year responded by making liberal appropriation.
Tbe means placed at the disposal of My Government
for these purposes have been used as it was intended.
The Report of My Minister of tbe Interior wi<l show
you the gratifying fact that steam communication
between the Islands is likely to be self-supporting,
nnd will encourage the hope tbat the publio necessity
will call for an iuoreato of that service at an early
day. Steam communication with the Coast of America, and with tbe New Zealand and Australian Colonies, seems now to be firmly established, and I have
not a doubt that the money devoted by us to this objeot will be found to be wisely expended.
During the last two years. Agriculture has repaid
handsomely those who have pursued it with courage,
diligence and enterprise. It is the life of the Nation,
not only from its profitable returns, but as tending
directly to tbe increase of the population, and tbe
prolongation of vigorous life. I therefore hope that
you wilt not neglect to further its interests by every
means in your power. But whilst giving your earnest consideration to it, I trust that every other interest will receive likewise its share of your attention.
Our relations with foreign Governments continue
to he of the most friendly nature. Since tho adjournment of tbe Inst Legislative Assembly, I bave concluded a Treaty of Amity and Commerce with His
Majesty the Emperor of Japan, tbe text of which will
be laid before you. The Treaty of Reciprocity which
was at the lost Session of this Body before the Senate
of tbe United States, failed to receive the number of
votes necessary for its ratification. I have directed
notice to be given of My desire for the termination of
tbose Articles of the Treaty with France, signed at
Honolulu, October 29th, 1867, which it is agreed by
the 26th Articlo of that Treaty, may cease to bave
effect after one year's notice. This will leave you
free to make such changes in the Tariff as you, in
your wisdom, may think proper.
The Report of My Minister of Finance will present
te yoa ascst gratifying evidence of the good condition
of our nuances.
Tho interest* of the cause of Education have never
liecn more thoroughly attended to, and tberesults of
that attention have been most encouraging.
Justice has been sdmhiistered equally and impartially te all. I'eiioe, aoiitcnluicnt and prosperity have
reigned within our borders.
All the works which have been undertaken and
i-oropleted, as well as those which arc now projected
lor tbe publio benefit, have hsd and do have My most
hearty concurrence, and I therefore commend to you
meat earnestly tbe reoommendations of My Ministers
in this respect.

the Protestants. Three Catholic priests, Fabiani, Cipolla and Guidi, met Rev. Messrs.
Sciarelli (Methodist), Bibetti (Vandois), and
Gavazzi (Free Italian Church.) For two
evenings (Bth and 9th of February) the discussion was continued. It has created a great
excitement in Rome. Protestants claim that
they have the best of the argument, and the
good Pope says no more public discussions
with heretics. We only wonder he ever allowed this to take place under his sanction.
The world moves! Even old Catholic Rome

Our female readers particularly may excuse us for reference to another feature in
(•eneral Spinner's management. His oflicial reports show repeated allusions to the
ability with which ladies discharged their
duties as clerks in responsible positions, and
to the propriety of paying them as much salary as men receive for similar service. It
will surprise many people to be told that
more than four-fifths of the three hundred
clerks in the Treasury Bureau are ladies
(mostly mothers, sisters or daughters), whose
natural protectors fell in defending the government. The fidelity with which these
lady-clerks discharge their duties amid the
treasures around them needs no further endorsement than is furnished by the fact that
they constitute so large a proportion of the
clerical force in a branch of government so
well managed as the Treasury Bureau.—

TBE FRIEND, MAY, 1871.
Confessions of
an
Opium Eater.
Some montha ago a stranger landed in
Honolulu, suffering terribly from the effects
of opium. He belonged to one of the interior citiea of California. *As the drug had
empoverished him, he made an appeal for
aid, and waa assisted by the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society. After several months
had paaaed away, he returned to San Francisco, but before leaving, he allowed us to
peruse a neatly written letter, addressed to a
friend in the city where he had resided, and
with his permission, we make the following
extracts, which we hope may prove a warning to any poor victim of the drug who has
not gone too far:
I beg leave herewith to submit to your
kindly notice a letter of mine, containing, as
you will see, my experience while seeking
release from the inthrallment of the accursed
opium habit. Three different times I endeavored while in ■— to burst the bonds
that bound me to the infernal fascinating
drug, and after each trial I was compelled to
fall back on the opium pipe for support. God
seems to help a man in getting out of every
difficulty but opium. There you have to
claw your own way out over red hot coals
on your hands and knees, and drag yourself
by main strength through the burning dungeon bars.
Knowing that you have ever taken an interest in my welfare, I will now inform you
where I am, and'what I have been doing
since 1 left your city. I started from
with theavowed intention of breaking myself
from the enchanting opium habit, an invalid
with all the uncertainties ol victory which
attend one addicted to the bewitching drug.
It was impossible for me to accomplish the
herculean feat while I remained in ———,
subject to so many temptations, for under no
treatment can a patient be cured of the miserable habit (I speak with the authority of
sad experience on this subject) without enduring suffering and temptations which not
one in a hundred could endure at all. There
are none who would pass through the ordeal
a second time for the wealth of the world.
I reached San Francisco September 20th
on the steamer New World at eight o'clock,
P. M., and the first place that 1 found myself
half an hour after I arrived was in an opium
hell on Dupont street, which place I visited
three times a day while I remained in the
city, smoking a half dollar's worth each time.
You must say that I made a good commencement to throw off my allegiance to the opium
despot. I stopped in San Francisco until
October 3d, trying to find a ship bound for
Tahiti, but did not succeed in finding one;
neither wns there one up for the Society
Islands. As my finances were getting beautifully diminished every day that 1 remained
in San Francisco (1 had but seven dollars
when I started), it was necessary that I
should start for soma place or other, and make
another effort to flee from the fascinating narcotic. 1 heard that the bark D. C. Murray
would sail for the Hawaiian Islands on .or
about the 3d of October, so I went and engaged a passage to Honolulu, and bought one
e ol sarsupHrilla, mid two dollars worm
of opium to put into it. With this small
stock of medicine to break a habit of ten
years' standing, I was prepared to make a
final effort to burst the deadly opium bonds.
On Tuesday afternoon, October 3d, I bade
farewell to California, bound for Honolulu
aboard the bark D. C. Murray. We made
the run down with very pleasant weather in
twelve and a half days, arriving at Honolulu
on Monday morning, October 16th. But oh!
Lord! what indescribable, hideous, horrible,
incessant tortures I underwent! Oh! my
soul was miserable, hankering to acquire
more misery,—by turns desperate, shuddering, groaning, tormented, pained and gnawed
by the demon Despair. These are merely a
part, but to relate all the monstrous, fearful,
distracted, horribly hideous dreams, would
bring my word in doubt, and stagger your
belief. I was afflicted with all the ills that
flesh is heir to. I could not sleep, eat or
walk, and when we arrived at Honolulu I
could hardly crawl ashore—in fact 1 was
completely demoralized. I remained in Honolulu one month, bathing in the falls in Nuuanu Valley,and taking exercise on horseback,
and afoot visiting all the places of note on
the Island of Oahu.
Here I may remark that after all the trouble and tortures my soul had endured, that
enchanting sorcery of earth and hell seduced
me again, and riveted ia iron chain of desolation, trouble, poverty and shame upon me,
and incredible though the assertion seems, 1
could not resist it, and passively yielded to
the direful temptation. Stung by misery,
vexation, disappointment and remorse, but
never (even in the moments of my most abject despair) relinquishing my cherished desire to once more stand upon my feet a free
man, 1 decided to go to some other island
where Celestial Chinamen did not live, for
wherever you find them, so sure will you find
the foul fiend Opium. Oh ! the torments I
have suffered to gain what!—an hour of
dreaming joy—a feverish hour that hasted
to be done and ended in the bitterness of woe.
1 was recommended to go to the Island of
Maui by a gentleman residing in the city of
Honolulu, who kindly gave me a letter of
introduction to an old Quaker by the name
of A. P. Jones, with whom I could stop, and
incur no expenses. I secured a passage on
the schooner Ka Moi, Captain Davis, which
cost me five dollars (cabin passage.) They
do not carry white men in the steerage.
That five dollars cleaned me out. On the
evening of the 16th of November 1 went on
board of the schooner, and on tbe 18th we
arrived at Wailuku, West Maui. Here I
landed a cold forsaken thing, that wandered
along forlorn and desolate—a vtipor eddying
in the whirl of chnnce. I fell again, and with
desperate haste I went to wring the last sweet
drop from sorrow's cup of gall. After a few
days I met a Mr. Reed with his wagon, and
engaged him to take me to the Quaker's,
who lives on East Maui, near a little village
called Makawao, fifteen miles from Wailuku.
When I arrived at the Quaker's 1 wss out of
opium, and 1 was unable to procure any more.
A violent fever soon seized me; the heavens
above, the earth beneath seemed glowing
brass, heated seven times. Severer and severer yet it came, and as I writhed and quivered, scorched within, the fury reund my
torrid temples flapped her fiery wing", and
breathed upon my lips and parched tongue
the withered blasts of hell ! Memory gave
up her charge; decision reeled ; I wished to
forget my " vow; " 1 had no hope ; enjoyment now was done.
When I got a little better I occupied my
time in exercising at the culinary art, and
occasionally riding around to different parts
of the island. 1 looked old, withered, decrepit, and was worn to skin and bone, and
shook as with the palsy. I did not remain
with tbe Quaker very long, in consequence
of us not hitching horses toge'iher, but went
to Mr. Farden's place at Puunialei to stop
with Mr. John Lewis, an old Californian,
until I could get some employment. I have
gained somewhat in strength, but there is
still a deadly stupor of mind, from which I
have not yet awakened, and my whole nervous system is shattered and impaired after
passing through the fiery ordeal—ambition
fled—and only sustained by the wonderful
power of Hope that I shall eventually prevail
over that bewitching sorcery of earth, Opium.
For the present I am safe, as there is very
little opium on this island ; it is expensive,
and I have no money with which to purchase
it. There is no chance to make a raise, or
borrow a half of a friend. This is a delightful climate, with balmy breezes, abundance
of fruit, such as oranges, bananas and guavas.
I intend to remain on these islands some
time. In this delightful climate, dear generous summer is at hand, with her lap full,
and her prodigal fingers scattering flowers on
the mountain tops and in the deep secluded
glens. So you will understand how very
easy it is to lead a sort of vagabond life
around these islands.
If there are any would-be opium eaters in
your city or its vicinity—and I doubt not but
there are a few—you should not be slow to
sound a timely note of alarm to the uninitiated, that tbey may be put on their guard
against the insidious seductions of the infernal bewitching drug.
G. W. P. Curtis, in his "Recollections
of Washington," gives a copy of a
contract written in Washington's own hand,
between George Washington and Phillip
Barton, his gardener. After the usual
clauses, it provides thut the said Barton
" will not at any time suffer himself to be
disguised with liquor, except on terms hereafter mentioned." After enumerating the
clothing, ike., to be furnished, it further says
he was to be allowed " four dollars at Christmas, with which he may be drunk four days
and"four nights. Also two dollars at Whltsunside, to be drunk two days ; also a dram
in the morning, and a drink of grog at dinner at noon." We can easily comprehend
what such rabid water drinkers as Gough
and Greeley would say at such a singular
compact; but the inference is that Washington, being an eminently practical man, saw
the impossibility of eradicating the vice in
otherwise a good and valuable servant, and
so made a compromise, which should retain
him in the rank of rational beings. Had he
drawn the string too tight he might have
driven Barton into the realms of rum altogether. Six days' intoxication is not two
per cent., nnd is very moderate compared to
many of our modern officials.—Am. Paper.

Annual Meeting of the Young Men's
Christian Association of Honolulu.
It has been tbe
custom,
since the
com*
mencement of this Society to hold the annual meetings at the houses of some one of
the members, and to follow the regular busi-
ness of these occasions with the less regular
but very pleasurable duties connected with
the discussion of a variety of eatables and
drinkables, and the social interchange naturally incident to such circumstances. To
these gatherings, guests have generally been
invited, but heretofore from the ranks of.the
"young men" portion of the community only.
The annual meeting for this year, the third
year of the Association, was held at the house
of Mr. Athtrton, the President for the past
year, on Friday evening of the nineteenth of
Inst month. There was a large attendance
of members, besides many invited guests, of
whom the greater proportion were ladies.
Xi ports were read ; u short address from the
retiring President followed, which will be
found below, and then the meeting proceeded
to the election of officers for the coming year,
with the following results: Mr.T. K. Walker,
President; Mr. S. B. Dole, Vice President;
Mr. W. W. Hall, Secretary; Mr. S. M. Da-
Treasurer. The retiring officers-being,
Mr. J. ii Atherton, President; Mr. T. fi.
Walker, Vice President; Mr W. W. Hall,
Secretary (re-elected); Mr. E. C. Damon,
Treasurer, vice Mr. J. E. Tucker, resigned.
The social part of the gathering included
n delicious collation, flowers and music.
mon,
President's Address.
In retiring from the Presidency of this Association, I have thought a few remarks upon
the condition of and interest of the members
of the Association might not come amiss, and
perhaps be productive of good.
We have on the books of the Association
the names of thirty-eight members, twentythree of them being iictual resident! of Honolulu ; yet during the past year, and I think
also the previous one, ii has rarely been the
case that more than nine members were presentat theregular
monthly meetings,although
due notice was given of such meetings.
During the year we have held eight regular meetings, the other four months failing
for want of a quorum. The meetings held
were interesting, especially those at which
members previously appointed read essays,
and afterwards had the "subject discussed by
the members at large.
At the annual meeting last year, it was
voted thatthe President at each regular meeting should appoint some member to present
a subject tending to the advancement and
improvement of the Association, on which he
should write an eaaar, tb« subject Joeing open
to discussion, after the reading of the essay.
During the year three subjects have been
presented. 1. The Use and Abuse ef Narcotic Stimulants. 2. The Use and Abuse of
Fiction in Literature. 3. The positiop which
this Association ought to take in regard to
the Temperance movement in Honolulu.
These subjects aa presented were very interesting, and well havidled.and the discussions
originating from them entertaining and
profitable. 1 would recommend the continuance
of these essays during the coming year.
In regard to the work of the Association,
I would say that the Reading Room has been
kept in good order, well supplied with newspapers and periodicals, besides stationery for
the use of strangers. It has been well
patronized by strangers, as well as by residents of these islands, and would be much
missed if compelled to be closed for want of
support.
The Chinese Sabbath-school which was
started some three months ago under the direction of this Association in the Lecture
Room of Fort Street Church, has proved thus
far quite successful. The attendance has
varied from Sabbath to Sabbath. We began
with eighteen, and have had as high as
twenty-seven Chinamen. These men have
appeared interested and desirous of learning.
The instruction thus far has been mostly
from the Primer and First Reader, but we
hope before long to give them the Rible to
read. A few adult teachers, who can be regular in their attendance,
much needed,
and would add much to the efficiency of the
" Uses and Abuses of Fiction in Literature."
The subject was well handled, and the discussion which followed was well sustained.
At the meeting in March, Mr. S. Pogue presented the subject of " Our duties to the Temperance Associations in this place." These
discussions will be continued during the
coming year, and will doubtless make the
meetings more interesting.
* The Reading Room has been well sustained during the past year, and many are
now in the habit of frequenting it for the
latest news, or for pleasant literary recreation. We can safely say that it has now become an institution of Honolulu, and it is
quite important that it should be well susWe have noticed often during the
slay of the steamers in our port, that the
Room has been filled with strangers, who are
thus enabled to spend a few pleasant hours
while detained here.
This Association has taken up new work
during this year ; and on the first Sunday in
January the Chinese Sabbath-school was
commenced in the Lecture Room of Fort
Street Church. From the six or seven Chinamen who were present the first Sunday,
the school has increased, until now it numbers from twenly-five lo thirty scholars, with
from fifteen to twenty teachers. Some of our
lady friends have kindly helped us in this
tained.
school.
We have thus far as an organization, except in providing a Reading Hoom, done little for the stranger young men who have
come into our midst the past year. Ido not really missionary work. The scholars seem

amongst us, to see whether our help has been as well as to reading. This school opens a

sociation, it becomes my duty to present a
statement of what we have done during the
year. Leaving all money matters for the
Treasurer to account for, I will merely men-
tion the work we have had in hand.
Eight regular meetings have been held
during the year in our Reading Room. On
three different occasions we were unable to
hold monthly meetings, as there was not a
quorum present. Seme of our meetings have
been exceedingly interesting, owing to the
discussions which have taken place on subjects proposed at some previous meeting. At
the meeting held in December last, Dr. C. F.
Nichols read some interesting notes on the
subject of narcotic stimulants and their abuse.
The subject was taken up and discussed by
a number of the members present. At the
meeting in January, Mr. T. R. Walker presented some very interesting thoughts on the
Report.

Wreck of the "Queen of the East."—
Captain Stoddard, lately master of this vessel, arrived in the Nebraska, bound East. On
the 18th of April, his vessel was wrecked in
east longitude 159 ° 10, and 29 ° 30 south
latitude, on Middleton Shoal. No lives were
lost, but the vessel a total wreck. The officers and crew were five days in boats, and
were picked up by the schooner Commerce,
and taken to Clarence Head, New Holland.
From thence they proceeded to Sydney.
Capt. Stoddard is accompanied by his wife.
Their lot appears rather hard, after the
Captain had made twenty-six voyages to
China, and on seven having been accompanied by his wife. At the time of the
wreck, he was bound from San Francisco to
Newcastle, N. S. Wales, for coal.
Death of the Mother of Judge Hartwell.—Our island readers will recall the
notice of the death of the father of Judge
Hartwell, as published in the April issue of
our paper. By the last mail, the melancholy
intelligence has been received that his mother
too has passed away to the "better land," but
we are happy to add, that her son was by
her bedside when she was summoned. It
was our privilege to become acquainted
with this excellent lady, during a visit to
Natick, Mass., during the summer of 1869.
She was one of those refined, noble and
Christian mothers of New England, whose
worth is " above rubies." She died on the
11th ultimo.
The Good Templars.-Weare glad to
learn thatthis useful and efficient temperance
organization designs to furnish tbe public
with a series of addresses. Tbe first was
delivered by H. L. Sheldon, Esq., at the
Bethel, it was numerously attended by the
members of that Order and others. The
address was exceedingly appropriate and
well received. The speaker's experience and
observations in Honolulu, and upon the
islands, during the past quarter of a century,
enabled him to make a strong appeal to his
audience. The next speaker, we learn, will
be C, J. Lyons, Esq.

We bad been intractable indeed had not these
influences wrought in our sours some strength
and elevation of spiritual life, whereby to cope
with and control those lower and baser tendencies which all inherit, and to which peculiar power is lent by life among sensual races
and in relaxing climates'.
There was also a careful and judicious
moral training. We were restrained and
chastened betimes. Our parents were no believers in the let-alone system. We were
warned from evil, stimulated and guided to
good. We were wonted to homely domestic
labors and ministrations, taught to work for
ourselves and to serve others. Our parents,
while toiling for the salvation of the Hawaiian people, were profoundly solicitous for the
right training of their own children, which
was a prominent topic of consultation at
their annual gatherings.
A conspicuous influence of much value,
has been a peculiar care for intellectual culture.
An essential conserving influence of an
unusual nature was the generally adopted
system of strict seclusion in childhood from
intercourse with the native people. You
well know, how strict and vigilant this tabu
has been, and how for the most part, as parents, we adhere to the same tradition. None
know, or could conceive, without .personal
observation, the nameless taint that pervades
the whole garrulous talk and gregarious life
of all heathen people, and above which our
poor Hawaiian friends have not yet generally risen. Our parents wisely heeding the
early and earnest warnings given by Messrs.
Tyerman and Bennet of the English Deputation, adopted from the outset the policy of
seclusion, whereby we spent our childish
years even in ignorance of the Hawaiian
language, and in an absoluteness of innocence unparalleled elsewhere in the world.
No careful observer can doubt that a direct
cause and one of the strongest ones of the
early degeneracy of the families of European colonists in tropical climates, has been
the unrestrained association of the children
with negro and native servants, whose fil'thiness, lying, superstition, and animal aims,
became ingrained into their infant natures.
From the taint of this leprosy we, as a class,
have been happily exempted.
The perils were great which endangered
the youth of the missionary colony. That
these perils "were surmounted, was due, as we
have seen, chiefly to vigilant parental Watch
and care, and to high spiritual culture.
Our revered parents, so many of whom
survive to witness the prosperity of their
children, may rejoice therein, not only as an
individual honor and blessing, but chiefly as
promising to ensure the ultimate completion
and success of tbe enterprise to which their
lives have been devoted.
The lifting up of the Hawaiian race, and
establishing them on a solid foundation of
Christian civilization, yet lacks completeness.

This question seems to belong, to a certain
extent, to the field of Theology and Moral
Philosophy.
We all believe, very absolutely, that no
one is responsible for what he cannot help.
The only trouble in our minds on this point
is the difficulty in definitely ascertaining
what a human being can or cannot help.
It is a favorite subject with many moral
teachers, that men can or ought to be, to a
certain extent, independent of circumstances;
that they ought to control them and not be
controlled by them. There is no doubt but
that such a theory of life contains a large
measure of truth. Strong and matured men
and women should control many of their circumstances, and make them servants in fulfilling the great ends of existence. The real
success of this or that life is measured by the
success in this achievement. But this supposes men and women with moral characters
formed and developed : rather a small part of
humanity would this include.
A very large proportion of the race at any
one time of course are children. Their circumstances are made for them by others.
The influences which surround them are
selected by others. They hove neither the
knowledge nor the freedom to settle these
matters for themselves : they are the moral
wards of the grown-up world. And yet
childhood is, more than any other time of
life, the period in which character is formed
and fixed.
A large part of the balance of the race are,
without any fault of their own, in the aame
position as children, as regards that knowledge, judgment and independence which give
the ability of controlling circumstances.—Savages ; —the ignorant and oppressed of heathen
countries, even the ignorant and toil-worn of
Christian countries, so called ; —those of all
the world to whom the clear light of moral
teaching has been unattainable. We see,
therefore, that the great majority of the race
have neither the power, the freedom, nor the
experience to enable them to mold circumstances favorably for their highest development, even if they had the conscientious convictions.
Tha importance of this truth, in reference
to our subject to-night, is very great. The
great question of human responsibility is affected by it.

Noble Struggle.—Among the ancient
Grecian artists and their Roman imitators,
the statute of Laocoon and his sons, struggling to disenthrall themselves from the folds
of two enormous serpents, was accounted
the noblest work of Art, and it has been admired ever since. It now stands in the
Museum of the Vatican, no less admired in
the nineteenth century, than in tbe days of

is a monster serpent, whose sting is desth.
From its folds he would escape. In comtemplating struggles of this nature, our
Saviour says Angels rejoice, " Likewise joy
shall be in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth." Not only do angels rejoice in
view of such a struggle, but the Saviour of
mankind comes down to assist the victim of
sin to cast aside the encircling and crushing
folds of the serpents of sinful indulgence.
To one and all, who are thus struggling we

\)
of the Friend:
Sib, —Personally known to you, and long
an appreciator of the good-end arduons work
yea neve done and are doing in Hawaii,
allow me to address a few words to you in
answer to comments in your paper, on a passage in the Dean of Rochester's sermon at
the consecration of Bishop Willis, Not only
I, but Mr. Waterhouse, jr., and some other
friends who were present and heard that address, are surprised and grieved at the impression produced by the newspaper report,
as we did not, for one moment, understand
the expressions referred to as applying to
Hawaiians, though they were very applica-
ble to the Islands of Fiji and Santa Cruz.
The hurry in which our newspaper reports
are often necessarily prepared;—in this case
the John Bull had to be in print the next
morning,—gives little time for corrections to
be made by those who could inform the reporter or the editor. And, also, allow me to
point out a sad want of candor, one of those
defects which tend to increase and not allay
religious disagreements among Christians
really zealous to promote the cause of their
Master. Whoever was responsible, in the
first' instance, for quoting all the poragrapti
in the " John Bull " except its last clause,
must have known well that by inserting that
la»t passage, he could have cleared up, or
prevented, the wrong impression conveyed
by the Words quoted ; and which wrong he
was so ready to propagate and intensify. I
have referred to the journal, and copy verbatim the words so omitted :
" It is, however, necessary, in the cause of
sober truth, to mention that in Polynesia,
and among the gentle natives of Hawaii, and
the rather over-civilized city of Honolulu, no
danger to life or freedom has in the present
case to be apprehended. The oppositions,
the difficulties, are, rather, of the moral and
intellectual order that have to be encountered:
and he who takes the oversight ' of that far
flock dispersed,' must carry with him firmnets ana consistency as well as gentleness
and devotion. Many prayers will accompany
Bishop Willis when he leaves our shores, to
tend the farthest tendrils of ' the vine that
stretches her branches unto the sea, and her
boughs unto the river.'"
The expected arrival of an English Bishop
is perhaps the true cause of the displeasure;
yet his coming may not interfere with peace ;
abundance of which is promised to them 'who
make peace.'
May you, sir, be among that number.
Yours, very faithfully,
Manlby Hopkins.
P. S. Since writing the above, I learn that
Dr. Scott (the Dean) is hurt that words he
uttered have been so misconstrued.

—
EniToaiAL Rbmabks. We insert with
much pleasure the above letter, and would
remark, that we intended in the present issue
ofour papei, to have alluded to the disclaimer
recently published in the Advertiser, over the
signature ef the Dean of Rochester. We
cannot acknowledge any intention of wrong
on our part or that of the good people of
Honolulu, in drawing the inference we did,
from the report of the Dean's sermon as
printed in the London John Bull. The
amends honorable to the Dean ought to be
made by the reporter of that paper, and not
by anybody in this part of the world. To
have placed the matter exactly right, we
should have been glad to have seen in print
the precise phraseology employed by the
Dean upon the occasion.
Mr. Hopkins will pardon us for alluding
to the gentle insinuation in the closing paragraph of his letter, that " the true cause of
the displeasure" was " the expected arrival
of an English Bishop." We should not
presume to speak for the members of the
English Church, but, for outsiders, nothing
could be more remote from the truth. From
such reports as have reached us, we can
surely welcome Bishop Willis to this part of
the world, hoping indeed, with Mr. Hopkins,
that his coming may not interfere with
"
peace, abundance of which is promised to
them which make peace." We would
merely add, that our comments upon the
Dean's supposed remarks were surely not
more severe than those in the April number
of the St. Andrew's Magazine —" The only
extenuating circumstance of Dr. Scott's remark rests upon the supposition that he did
not know anything about the Sandwich Islands and their inhabitants: and his mind
being inflamed with accounts of tbe murder
of Bishop Patteson, pictured Santa Cruz for
Honolulu."
Whether Dr. Scott, the Dean of Rochester, may or may not be acquainted with our
population, we are glad to know that his
" Greek-English Dictionary" is not an unknown and unconsulted book in this part of
the world, and in our schools. A copy we
notice on the shelves of Whitney's bookstore.
Slave Trade in the South Seas.
We copy the following spirited remarks
from the Australasian of February 24th, a
large weekly published in Melbourne :
Fresh light has been thrown upon the circumstances preceding the massacre of Bishop
Patteson and his companions, by the correspondence which has appeared in the English
papers on the subject. It was generally believed at the time that the Santa Cruz group
had been visited by a slaver or slavers painted to resemble the missionary schooner; and
this belief has been strengthened, if not confirmed, by a letter published in the Tims*,
the writer of which says: " I know of one
of
Queensland vessel that went to a group
ialands frequently visited by the bishop, where
the captain and crew got out a fiddle and
flute and several large books; one of their
number threw a white sheet over his shoulders, and they began to sing. When tbe natives, thus thrown off' their guard, came
crowding on board, the crew rushed on them,
hustled as many as they could below the
hatches, and departed. I wish 1 could say that
this was all the harm done ; but I regret to
say that before the cruise of that vessel was
completed, many a poor native met his death
after a gallantresistance against the superior
weapons of the white man. No natives being
taken to Queensland who betrayed the slightest knowledge of English, these poor savages
were all passed by the immigration officer as
Polynesian laborers."
Not only is this traffic in human beings
carried on by persons connected with Queensland, but also by traders from Tahiti and
Fiji; and the inhabitants of these colonies
ought to make common cause with the Im-
perial Government tVi stamping
out these
hideous practices. No measures could be too
stringent for that purpose ; and we are glad
to perceive that in the next session of the
Imperial Parliament a bill is to be introduced
by the Earl of Kimberley which will attach
the crime and the penalty of felony to all act*
of kidnapping. This is as it should be. No
greater curse could be inflicted upon tbe people of Australia, no deeper stain affixed upon
their character, than such as would result
from the toleration under any pretense —however speciously disguised—of a system of
slavery and slave-trading. The institution is
doubly accursed. It demoralizes the employers of servile labor, and it subjects the miserable victims to one of the cruelest wrongs
which human beings can inflict upon each
other. It were better that every cotton field
and sugar plantation in Queensland, Fiji, or
Tahiti, should be abandoned to desolation,
than that they should be cultivated by laborers kidnapped for the purpose from the Polynesian islands, and held in a condition of
bondage which differs from slavery only in
name. In the four principal colonies of this
group, we venture to think the Earl of Kimberley may calculate upon receiving the
moral support of a vigilant and healthy public opinion for the enforcement of the most
severely repressive measures the Imperial
Government may think proper to adopt with
respect to this abominable traffic.
Facts for Thought.—Dreydorff, in a new
work on the Jesuits in the German Empire,
just published at Leipsic, draws a few comparisons which are significant. Statistics
prove that in Rome there are 237 times as
many chances of being murdered as in England, and 133£ times more than in Protestant Prussia. In England, it is shown that
one murder occurs for every 178,000 inhabitants ; in Holland, one for 163,000; in
Prussia, one for 100,000 ; in Austria, one for
57,000; in Spain, one for 4,113; and in
Naples, one for 2,750; but at Rome there is
one homicide for every 760 of the inhabitants. Rome also scores the highest proportion of illegitimate children ; the ratio of
births of this class being nearly sixty-one
times greater in Rome than in London. It
appears that in London there are for every
one hundred legitimate births four illegitimate ; in Leipsic, twenty; in Paris, fortyeight ; in Munich, ninety-one; in Vienna,
one hundred and eighteen, and in Some, two
hundred and forty-three.—N. Y. Daily Timet.

Report op Whaling Bare Active, Campbell, Master.—Sailed from New Bedford 11th of November last, and
took a sperm whale Dec 10th In lat 46° 8 look a large
sperm whale, but lost it from alongside during a heavy gale oo
ihe 16th of January, and with this exception, bad moderate
weather In Atlantic. Had pleaaanl weather coming around
Cape Horn, which waa passed Feb 18th,and on 26ih, In lat
47 ° took a large sperm whale. Touched at Juan Fernandas
nnd transferred oil to a homeward hound vessel; touched at
Talcahuano March20thand remained two days, thenceproceeded to Qallapagoe and cruised along slowly until north ot
ihe line, and was some time In company with bark Northern
Light, Smith, which reported 116 barrels of sperm sinceleaving New Bedford In October last, and was bound direct to the
Arctic. Took 4 sperm whales In vicinity of Gatlapagoa, and
crossed equator May 20th, thence to port had moderate
weather, and arrived the evening of 7th Inst with 176 barrels
of sperm all told, and about 60 on board.
Report of Whaling Bark Josiph Maxwell.—Capt
Hickmott reports leaving New Bedford Jan 16ib last, and
meeting favorablewinds and pleasant weather thence to the
equator, which was crossed 30 days out. Had moderate winds
to River Platte and cruised there one week ; aaw whales twice
and lowered for them without getting an opportunity to strike.
The weather" was quite moderate until appro iching Cape
Horn, In the vicinity of which encountered heavy weaterly
gales for. eighteen daya and waa *■ hove-to the greater part
of (hat time and driven lo lat 00° B. Experienced agreeable
weather after reaching the Pacific, and fell In with sperm
whales three times, towards night lo each Instance, and although the boats lowered for them, they were compelled to return to the ship without an opportunity of getting fast, as the
"critters" were progressing to windward rather hurriedly,
evidently with the Intention of Joining "a convention of
whales " In that direction. Touched at Moreha May 20th for
potatoes and otherrecruits, remaining there two dayi and obtaining all requisite supplies for the voyage North at rates
quite as reasonable and satisfactory aa tbey can he obtained
elsewhere in the Pacific. Had moderate trades southand also
north of equator, arriving at thia port the afternoon of 22d
hist, 168 days from home, and laid "oflT-and-on to obtain
letters and men. Passed two English merchant vessels In At*
lanilCf but aaw no whalers during the passage.

Report or the Committee or the Hawaiian Evangelical Association on the Theological School.
1. It is evident that if the Hawaiian Churches
are to maintain their influence, the Pastors must
not fall behind the people in intellectual training.
They should rather take tbe lead in mental culture and civilisation.
2. In order that these objects may be mosi
speedily attained, there is needed a unifying powe
which shall tend to raise the standard of sue
culture uniformly.
3. The only way to accomplish this object is t
establish one general Theological and Trainin
School, for the education of candidate* for thi
■
pastoral and missionary work.
4. This School should be located in Hooolulwl
5. It should be organised for a three year/I
course, with provisions for exceptional case*.
8. R*v. J. D. Paris should be constituted hesfl

B. W". Parker, and Rev. H. H. Parker, assooiat 1

7. Therefore, It is referred to the Hawaiia™

One of the early fruits of missionary labor
at the Gilbert Islands, has also been removed
from earth's toils and troubles to enter, we
hope, tbe haven prepsred for those who love
the crucified One. A. Kaiea, the King of
the Island of Apniang, and a deacon of the
church, who, amidst tbe wars, contentions,
strife and exile which he was called to endure, as be supposed, for the sake of Christ,
stood fast in the faith, and died trusting in
Jesus Christ for salvation, on the 15th of
February, 1871. These fruits of missionary
labor should encourage us to sow the good
seed with faith, trusting that the ever-living
Master will gather to Himself, in due time,
many sheaves, which may abound to the
glory of His name.
After the above was written the messenger
of death again visited us, and took from our

the field of his former labors, with a new

Hone Hl.olsnt.
The Evangelical Association of Kauai, at
its meeting in October, 1871, voted to ask
the Hawaiian Board for fifty dollars, to aid
in supporting the pastor of the church at
Wnimea, Kauai, Rev. A. Kaukau. This
nid was cheerfully granted. As a general
thing, the stipends of the pastors of the
churches are paid, and some of the churches
have increased these stipends. Otherchurches, however, are deficient in this respect, and
seek to eke out the salary of their pastors by
permitting them to seek a part of their support by labors which may hinder their appropriate pastoral work., There may be cases
where the salary of the pastors will not support them and their families, but these are
exceptions. In such cases, the Hawaiian
Board have always felt it a duty and a pleasure to render assistance, when asked for
through the proper channel.
Female Boarding Srhaols.
As is the character of the mothers of a nation, so is the character of that nation. Mothen stamp their own image upon their children ; these, with their parents, form the
homes, and of these the nation is made up.
Hence the importance of educating the girls
of the nation. If there is any one thing
which this Hawaiian people needs more than
any other, it is educated, cultured, Christian
homes; but these cannot be had without educated, cultured, Christian mothers. Just
such -women are also needed to engage in
woman's work on the islands of this North
Pacific—cur missionary field. For want of
such' we have been hindered from reinforcing
one of our oldest missions the past year.
The want of qualified women to engage in
labor for the Master, is a hindrance to both
our Home and Foreign work. To remove
this, and supply the want, four Female
Boarding Schools have been in operation,
viz : one on the Island of Kauai, two on the
Island of Oahu, and one on Maui; —not one
on the largest island of the group. Hawaii
is destitute of a boarding school, to which it
might send its daughters for instruction.
Two schools are now needed for that Island.
Pupils can be found for both of these, were
they established, from families who think
they cannot part with their daughters to go
to another island, but who would gladly provide for them in a school upon their own island. To found such schools means will not
be wanting. Faith, prayer and self-denial
will supply these. Has not the time come to
commence this work ?
The School at Koloa, Kauai, under, the
care of Mn. Dr. Smith and daughter, has
been continued as in years past, but with a
decrease in tne number of pupils. Eleven
�THI,
pupils have been connected with the school.
Dr. Smith writes in regard to it thus : " The
school has been in existence ten years; is
now made up, for the most part, of orphans
and half-orphans. Five pupils arc supported
in the school gratuitously. A capitation fee,
however, is received for them from the Hawaiian Government. These girls arc all
quiet in their deportment, and we have hope
that they may be Christians, but God know'eth the heart. The pupils are taught in the
English language. The large girls, however, read and write in the Hawaiian language." Several graduates from this school
have married, and have made excellent wives}
the most of them to foreigners.
The efficient Principal of the Kaicaiohao
Female Boarding School, Miss L. Bingham, together with her sister and others as
assistants, has continued that seminary. It
has been in a prosperous state. Forty-four
boarding pupils (26 of whom are pure Hawaiians, 13 half or quarter white, and 5 half
Chinese) are now connected with the institution. Two have been admitted to the church
the past year; eight pupils are members of
the church, and one propounded for church
membership. One of its graduates was married In June last, to the Assistant Teacher
of the Lahainaluna Seminary, and another
at a later period to a foreigner. This school
is accomplishing the object for which it was
founded. May the great Head of the Church
still continue to smile upon it, and from its
raise up many who may be Mothers in
fupils
srael.
The enerj!"-'-'- «"--' of Trustees of the
*«> seminary, at Waialua,
Waialua
Oahu, ha' been awake to. the interests of
that inst Jtion. In the early part of the
year, the Rev. A. O. Forbes, President of
the Board of Trustees, resigned his place, on
account of his removal to another island.
The Rev. H. H. Parker was chosen in his
place. With this exception, the Board of
Trustees remains as it was lust year. Miss
M. E. Green, as Principal, has had charge
of the school. She bus been assisted by
Miss Goodale and others. The Master has
smiled upon their labors. The Principal re-
ports 41 scholars now* connected with the
school. The pupils have experienced very
little sickness ; some who came to the school
weak and feeble,are now strong and healthy.
They are taught all kinds of house-work;
eat with the teachers at the same table ; are
■instructed in tbe English and Hawaiian language*. Meetings on the Sabbath and other
days are kept up among them. Som" hope
they may have found the Saviour to b*. precious to their souls. New applications are
being made for entrance into the school continually. The institution needs another
teacher, and must have one or suffer the consequence. This seminary, in years past,
has sent forth many who have been a blessing to this and other lands, and we are very
sanguine that it will continue to do so.
The Makaxeao Female Seminary, under the care of the Rev. C. B. Andrews,
Wife, and Miss Carpenter, has been opened
for pupils, and many girls have availed
themselves of its privileges. The pupils are
mostly young, but will soon be the mothers
of the nation. Those in charge of the seminary have been indefatigable m their labors,
r I, Ir, \I)

and may hope to see rich fruit in years to
come. The pupils numbered 40 at the commencement of this year. The Hawaiian
Government has granted aid to the seminary
to the amount of 81500 for building purposes, and fifty dollars in capitation fees.
The Trustees of the institution made an appeal to the foreigners and churches on Maui,
for the sum of 92000, which has been subscribed, and the most of it paid.
In addition to these boarding schools, Mrs.
Lyons and her daughter, of Wnimea, Hawaii, "have kept up a Family School for
small girls, which numbers five scholars.

this institution the past year, two of whom

The sale of books the last year does not
equal that of previous years. This can be
accounted for from the fact that we have had
no hymn book, or other new book on sale.

There are three churches in this group,
with a membership of 86. Two hundred,
and eighty gallons of oil, with $29.50 in
cash, have been contributed for missions during the past year. 1242 books have been
sold, for which 384 gallons of oil and 556.65
in cash have been received. One Gilbert
Islander has been licensed to preach, and
three Hawaiians ordained to the work of the
ministry, the past year.
The following condensed report of our old
stations will show the state of the work at
each :
Tapittita.
Some reaction, as was to be expected, has
taken place at this island, but nothing which
by any means should discourage the laborers
there. Meetings on the Sabbath, and on
week-days, as also the Monthly Concert, are
kept up. The congregation on the Sabbath
numbers from 250 to 400. A goodly number of the children aud adults are taught in
day schools by the wives of our missionaries.
Houses of worship have been furnished with
lamps for evening services, the people contribute to the cause of missions and purchase
all their books. No church has yet been
formed on the island, though it is thought
there may be material for one, as there are
those who give some evidence that they have
been born of the Holy Ghost. A census
taken by one of the missionaries, the past
year, makes tbe population 6172.
Tirana.
On account of the disturbed stale of things
upon this island, it has been temporally vacated. It is hoped that the field will soon be
again occupied, as the former missionary,
Mr. Haina, will probably return again to the
�I II X
island, and do what he can to spread light
among the people.
This has always been, and is still, a hard
field. Two stations were kept up on the
island* the past year. Thirty scholars are
reported in day schools. The little church
formed there some two years since, is not in
a
prosperous state.
Apalaa.
At this station more missionary labor has
been expended than at any other place in
the Mission. Has now a church of 38 members, 8 new members admitted the past year.
This church has been called to part with one
of its deacons, A. Kaiea, the king of the
island. In April 1871 a new king was inaugurated, and the formor rebel chief appointed chief minister. Quiet for the most part
has prevailed on the island. No war, nor
drinking to intoxication. The church members are represented as walking in an orderly manner. A house of worship, to take the
place of the one destroyed by the rebels a
few years since, has been built and dedicated.
In June 1870 a work of grace commenced
among the people which continued till April
1871. During that time the congregations
on the Sabbath were large. No fishing, nor
sailing canoes, or hulas were practiced on
the Sabbath. Many appeared to be seeking
the way of life. In April 1871 there was a
revival of the hula and other heathen customs. The cultivation of the land was neglected. Many of the people spent their time
in flying kites, playing base ball, racing canoes, and other amusements. At this time
a false prophet appeared, who had some influence for a time over the people. The
Sabbath school is represented as prosperous,
as many'as one hundred scholars being in
attendance. Two stations are now occupied
on that island. Rev. H. Bingham and wife
spent most of the time of their visit to the
group at that island. Much good, doubtless,
was done by their visit. The Hawaiian
missionaries were encouraged. The General
Meeting of the Mission held, and means put
in operation, which may produce fruit to the
glory of the Master. What this Mission
needs is a missionary and wile to live among
them.
BiUrlUrl.
Some of the church members at this station
have become lukewarm, and have gone back
to heathenism. This, however, is not the
case with the great majority. The younger
brother of the king keeps on in the Christian
course, and is always found on the side of
truth and right.
Three houses of worship are connected
with 'Is station. 39 church members are
in regular standing, 17 have been received
the past year, 11 church members have been
set aside from the church, 3 of whom have
been restored, 2 have been excommunicated.
Meeting on tbe Sabbath and week days are
kept up as in former years. 137 gal. of oil,
and Sl7 in cash have been contributed to

General Letter of the Hawaiian Evangelical
Association.
Our Association met in the Lecture Room !
of Kawaiuhao Church, on the 11th of June,
at 10 o'clock, A. M., according to adjournment.
After organizing, it being the day set
apart to commemorate the Reign of Knmehamcha the First, it was voted unanimously
to devote a part of the day to prayer and supplication to Almighty God for the reigning
Sovereign and the Nation.

From the Association of the Foreign Even,

Walter Freer, and the Rev. D. Dole—were

In connection with our General Association, there are live Hawaiian Island Associations, one Presbytery, and one Association of
the Foreign Churches; tbe whole number
of settled pastors, foreign and native, being
forty-nine.
In looking over the churches generally,
we are compelled to admit that the standard
of piety is too low. Conlormity to this world,
in its spirit and maxims, is too much the
rule. We are sad, and mourn over the lukewarm and lapsed state of some of our churches, having a name to live, while many of
their members are dead.
Our Hawaiian Zion has not yet attained
to the standard of the Apostle—"A holy
nation, a peculiar people, shewing forth tbe
praises of Him who hath called them out of
darkness into his marvelous light." Still it
is clear from the reports before us, that the
cause of truth and righteousness is on the
advance.
Most of the churches, so recently organized, with native pastors, inexperienced, are
growing and developing as symmetrically as
could reasonably be expected.
In a very few of our churches there have
been revivals. A season of reviving was experienced some months since in the Kawaiahao church and congregation, under the care
of the Rev. H. H. Parker, in which about
forty persons were hopefully converted. A
few others have been more or less refreshed
by the quickening influence of the Holy
Spirit.
We rejoice with grateful hearts, that both
the foreign churches in Honolulu have been
blessed with the precious reviving influences
of the Spirit of God. In this work of grace,
some thirty or forty precious souls have been
hopefully converted and gathered into the
fold of the Good Shepherd.
CONTRIBUTIONS.
Notwithstanding the financial interests of
our island community, foreign and native,
have been very seriously affected by the loss
of the Arctic fleet, the Chicago fire, and
drought, yet the contributions for foreign
missions and other benevolent purposes, have
been larger than in years past. The whole
amount contributed to the Hawaiian Board,
during the year, is $11,062.09. Contributions for other benevolent purposes, $18,568
25. Total receipts for the year, as reported,
$29,630.39.
EDUCATION.
Under the very liberal policy of the Hawaiian Government, and the wire and efficient direction of the inspector General, the
Hon. H. R. Hitchcock, aided by the Board
of Education, not only are the Common
Schools of our islands vastly improved, but
also the Boarding and High Schools, under
the Government patronage, are coming up to
a higher standard than they have maintained
for some years. In years past, the Hilo
Boarding School and the Lahainaluna Seminary have educated a large proportion of the
�1 Hfc KKIKM),
best men in the nation, in Church and State,
in Foreign Missions, and those taking the
lead in teaching and in the various departments of business. We have great cause for
gratitude thatboth these institutions are now
in a prosperous state ; —the former under its
venerable and wise director, who has had the
charge for tbe last thirty-six years, the Rev.
D. B. Lyman, assisted by Miss E.Lyons
and good native teachers. The number of
pupils, at close of the school year, was 72.
The latter, by the Rev. S. Bishop and the
Rev. A. O. Forbes, assisted by Maikaimoku.

year. At the invitation of the Hawaiian
Board, he went as a Delegate to the Marquesas, on board the Morning Star, and since
his return his labors in teaching have not
been resumed.
Our hearts arc sad in view of the great
want of Ministers, of tbe right spirit and
qualifications, both for the home and foreign
fields. Many of our home churches are now
destitute, having no one to break to them the
Bread of Life, while there are very few young
men looking forward with a desire to enter
the self-denying work of preaching the Gospel. More lucrative and less laborious situations for educated young men, are multiplying, and the temptations for entering them
are very strong.
Tbe General Association of the Hawaiian
islands has voted to establish a Theological
School in Honolulu, as the best and most centra 1 location for such an institution, and with
the hope of gradually meeting the wants of
the destitute.
But it is of the utmost importance that
more earnest and vigorous efforts be made in
all our schools and churches, to seek out and
influence the minds of young men to prepare
themselves for the active service of Christ.
Not only do we want men whose hearts are
fired with the love of Christ for the destitute
churches at home, but the fields of Micronesis and Nuuhiva are white already for the
harvest, and the Macedonian cry, "Come
over and help us," is wafted on every breeze.
But where are the men full of love to
Christ, of faith, and of the Holy Ghost ? saying, Here are we, send us." Funds are
" the harvest is plenteous, but the
abundant,
" the
laborers are few. Pray ye, therefore,
Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth
laborers into his harvest."
As a general thing, a spirit of love and
unanimity
sjons. Our meetings have been harmonious
in deliberating for the interests of the Redeemer's Kingdom on those islands, and we
trust the Lord Jesus, by his Holy Spirit, has
been with us.

THE PRESS.
Our Hawaiian newspapers, the Kuokoa and
tbe Alaula, or Morning Star, have had a wide
circulation. The former is very popular, and
has a circulation of nearly 4000 copies.
They are both messengers of light and Lore,
cheering tbe hearts of thousands at home,
and encouraging our missionaries abroad in
Nuuhiva and Micronesia.
The circulation of the Sacred Scriptures
has obtained to a considerable extent. But
we fear there are many houses still in darkness, without the Lamp of Life. This is a
good work, and every pastor should make it
nis business to see that every household within the boundary of his parish has the Word
of God.

“One Man in his Time Plays many Parts.”
So Shakespeare wrote, and so we thought
the other evening while listening to Professor Plummer's recitations. Shakespeare
fancied man playing seven parts, from his
"nurse's arms," until he "shuffled off this
mortal coil." First, the " mewling infant,"
then follows " the whining school-boy,"
"sighing lover," "bearded soldier," "the
justice, with good capon lined," to be succeeded by the man " with spectacles on nose,"
and finally by '• second childishness," "sans
teeth, sans eyes, sans ta«* sans everything."
Prof. Plummer out-did all this, in not four
score years, but in less than two hours, appearing as David weeping over Absolom ;
then, outraging all chronology, standing as
Mark Twain and addressing the " sphinx."
Ere the audience was aware, up he rises as
Mackay, the poet, moralizing "No Sect in
Heaven; " then follows the drunken vagabond conversing with his dog, to be succeeded by the " Widow Bedott," " Shamus
O'Brien," and various other characters. Fortunately this is a warm climate, for had the
Professor frozen stiff in some oie of his characters, his personal identity would have been
lost, and herea'ter he might have been known
perhaps as thr •' Hard Shell Elder Wadkins."
The Professc s delineations of character and
imitations were certainly most natural and
life-like.
The Chaplain has received a letter for
John W. Wallan, of thefcrk Arctic.

Poetry in the Hawaiian Language.
In noticing the new Hawaiian hymn-book
in the June number of the jVHetid, we ventured a few remarks upon the ability of Hawaiians to write in the style of our English
lyric poets. In a note from the Rev. Mr.
Lyons, of Waimea, Hawaii, who has written
so many hymns, we find a few remarks upon
this subject confirming what we then wrote.
Mr. Lyons writes as follows under date of
July 2d:
" 1 was not born a poet. If I was, I did
not find it out until I began to write Hawaiian poetry. This I commenced in 1834 and
1835,and I have been at it, more or less, ever
since. As for native poets and their poetry,
1 make no pretensions to much knowledge
upon the subject. There were what were
called kahu-meles—poet-bards—away back
in old time. Their ancestors came from
Asia, and brought with them the Asiatic
style of poetical composition. Their poetry
was Hebraistic—measured—musical but not
rhythmical. I say measured, but not limited
to a certain number of syllables in a line.
There were no 12s. or lis., Bs. and 4s.,etc.,
etc. It was not read or repeated as we repeat poetry,.but was always sung with a
mournful or joyful tone, prolonged at pleasure, all on the same key, or nearly so, and
accompanied with action and gesture. As
all, or nearly all, their poetry was drawn
from nature —mountains, hillls, streams, valleys, capes, seas, palis, birds, rain, clouds,
dew, winds, storms, personal forms—it contains many beautiful strains, but not many
ideas. There ars no poets now. The present poets are mere imitators of those of olden
times. They know nothing about composing
as we do. Metre and rhythm are incomprehensible to a native mind. I have tried to
teach some of the most capable to compose
with regard to metre and rhythm, but 1 have
not succeeded very much. That famous national hymn, God Save the King,' was
written by Lunalilo and Alexander, Kamehameha IV. It is the best poetical production which has appeared from a native pen.
Natjves write songs to the music in our
'
hymn-books. They make the poetry and
music jibe some how, but some lines have
too many and some too few syllables. If
Judge Andrews was alive, he could give you
some light upon this subject. Ido not know
who can do it now."

Small Pox in England.—The Pall Mall
Budget reports 30,000 deaths in England
during the last year in consequence of the
small-pox, including over 1,700 in Londou
during this same period.
Card.—The Chaplain desires to acknowledge,
by the kindness of Capt. Harris, of the
St. Marys, the donation of sixty dollars
from Admiral Winslow, commanding the U.
S. Pacific Squsdron. Forty dollars of this
amount will be devoted to the gratuitous distribution of The Fbiend among seamen, and
the remainder to the support of the Seamen's
Chapel, in Honolulu.
Cheap Whisky.—According to the Pall
Mall Budget, "a scientific combination of
cayenne pepper, vitriol, spirits of wine and
bluestone transmutes a gallon of water into
a gallon of whisky at the cost of a penny a
gallon." The physical effects are stated to
be frightful. Delirium tremens produced by
ordinary whisky is a joke when compared
with this adulterated article. Judging from
the effects produced on some of the victims
of intemperance in Honolulu, we fancy they
must drink this new kind of Irish whisky.
Rev. Mr. Booth.—By the steamerfrom San
Francisco, .arrived the Rev. Mr. Booth, a
Congregational Minister, of England. He
has been for some years a settled Pastor at
Preston, Lancashire, and has started out for
a trip around the world, via America and
Australia. His father resides in New Zealand, with whom he expects to spend a year
before returning to England. He preached
in Fort-Street Church last Sabbath evening.
He has interested himself, .not a little, in
studying the Alabama question nnd other
subjects connected with America, and during
the late war often lectured in behalf of the
North. It is exceedingly gratifying to meet
an Englishman whose broad views are so remarkably free from prejudices which, in too
many instances, prevent a man from seeing
good in other lands.

The rough, noisy and rollicking features
of a sailor's life on shore attract the
public notice. When the crew of a man-ofwar enjoy a days lißerty, the pedestrian
must look out or he will be run over by some
ion of Neptune, who knows much better how
to steer a ship than guide a horse. Among
these.fast-riding and pleasure-seeking sailors
there arc always a few of a very different
turn of mind. The chaplain is almost certain to become acquainted with men of this
classi They will seek him out. Memory
recalls many pleasant chats with such men.
Sometimes one comes by nigh'l in the spirit
of Nicodemus ! Others will come to obtain
books, or make inquiries for friends, or send
letters.
A few days since a man-of-war's man modestly entered our sanctum. He was a stranger,
but we soon found that we had thoughts in
i-ommon.
He spoke of a home amid the
rural scenes of England, and of his wanderings in many lands. With books he was
familiar, and more he wanted to beguile the
long and monotonous life at sea. His soul
experienced aspirations after a better life.
He knew what Paul meant when he wrote,
" For the good that I would I do not; and
but the evil that I would not, that I do."
This man modestly placed in our hands
lor publication the lines entitled "Starlight"
which appeared in our June issue. The following is one of the stanzas :
The light of star., so mid, as puss,
" Oft
bring, me dreams ofeach .weet rest,
Thill oould wl.h the mortal v-.il
Were raised from o'er my longingbreast,
And that thus dreaming, t iiiigl\t flee
To wake iv their reality."
In referring to poets, he remarked that
Longfellow and Tennyson were his favorites.
Some pages of Longfellow, he added, read
like Bible chapters ! We asked him for additional contributions for our columns, and
he replied, " I have an unfinished piece. I
can only write when the ' spirit moves.' The
piece when finished will be in the form of
' Three Pictures,' but only one is written,
and when the others will be written I cannot
say." We solicited " Picture No. I," and
our readers will be interested io its perusal
as found in the present issue of tbe JFhiend.
Perhaps hereafter the writer may favor us
with Pictures " No. 2 " and " No. 3."

The Rev. W.E. Fletcher.
Many of uur Honolulu readers will remember this clergyman, who passsd through
our city en route from Melbourne to England.
During his brief sojourn, it will be remembered that he delivered a lecture on the Crusades and taking of Jerusalem. From the
March number of the " Victorian Independent," published in Melbourne, we learn that
this gentleman has safely reached home, via
Italy, Palestine and Egypt:
Arrival of the Key. W. K. Flbtchss,
M. A.—This gentleman safely reached our
shores by the Suez mail on the 15th ult.,
and was welcomed by a large party of friends
on his arrival. He pieached in his own
church on the following Sabbath, on which
occasion a large congregation was assembled
to welcome him on again occupying his own
pulpit. The reverend gentleman looked remarkably well, and although he apologized
for *not being able to preach a regularly prepared sermon, on account of having so recently landed, his congregation were perfectly
satisfied with the discourses they heard;
and, judging from his appearance, we should
say that Mr. Fletcher was much gratified
with the reception accorded to him by his
people. He Was greeted with great applause
on making his appearance in the afternoon
of the day in the Sunday-school, on which
occasion there must have been at least upwards ol four hundred teachers and scholars
gathered together.
On Thursday evening, the 22d of February, a thoroughly enthusiastic welcome was
given to Mr. Fletcher by the members of his
church and congregation, when a crowded
tea-meeting was held in the school-room,
after which a public meeting took place in
the church.
Just such a time, amid -uch scenes, there came

Hawaiian Bible Dictionary.—A volume
of four hundred pages, neatly printed and
illustrated, has recently been printed in New
York for the Hawaiian Board. It was prepared by the Rev. E. W. Clark. We congratulate the Hawaiian people on such permanent addition to the literature of the
nation. The missionaries—Clark, Smith,
Lyons, Parker, and others who are publishing books in the Hawaiian, are conferring a
great blessing upon this nation. Their labors
are even of greater importance to this peopte,
now that they have partially retired from the
pulpit, than when they were exclusively devoted to preaching.

THE FRIEND,
Akciint Am-arci. in Notes on Arotjric.n-Arcbeßology
By J. D. Baldwin, A. M , sothor of Pre-hiatorir
Nations." With Ulaitrationa. New York Harper
Brothers. 1872.
"
*In the August number of the lYiend for
1870 we noticed " Pre-hislonc Nations," by
this author. That volume related to the Old
World. By the aid of such materials as he
was able to glean from history, tradition, language, archaeology and other sources, this
writer endeavors to establish the theory that
Ancient Arabia was the centre from which
the nations of the earth took their departure
to Egypt, to India, to Chaldca and to Palestine. He brings forward many very interesting facts to substantiate this idea. Having
thus studied the pre-historic ages of the Old
World, he now turns his attention to the
New World.
The book lying before us contains a marvelous amount of information, in a popular
lorm, relating to the Continent of America
prior lo its discovery by Columbus. After
treating of the mound builders of North
America, he travels through Mexico and
Central America to Chili and Peru in South
America. Any one carefully perusing this
volume, we think will be deeply impressed
with the civilization of the ancient inhabitants
of both North and South America many
ceaturies before the western continent was
known to the civilized world. Our limits
will only allow us to copy the writer'sremarks
relating to
THE GREAT PERUVIAN ROADS.
Nothing in Ani'ient Peru was more remarkable thm the public roads. No ancieot
people has left traces of works more astonishing than these, so vat' wns tboir extent,
and so great the skill and labor required to
construct them. One of these roads ran along
the mountains through the whole length of
the empire, from Quito to Chili. Another,
starting from thW al Cuzco, went down to
the coast and extended northward to the
equator. These ronds were built on beds or
"deep under-structures'-' of masonry. The
width of the roadways varied from twenty to
twenty-five feet, and they wete mude level
and smooth by paving, and' in some places
by a sort of macadamizing with pulverized
tttone mixed with lime and bituminous eminent. This cement was used in all the masonry. On each *"icle of the roadway was
•• a very strong wall more than a fathom in
thickness." These roads went over marshes,
rivers, nnd great chasms of the Sierras, and
through rocky precipices and mountain sides.
The great road passing along the mountains
was a marvelous work. In many places its
way was cut through rock for leagues. Great
ravines were filled up with solid masonry.
Kivers were crossed by means of a curious
kind of suspension bridges, and no obstruction was encountered which the builders did
not over-come. The builders of our Pacific
Railroad, with their superior engineering
skill and mechanical appliances, might rea•sonably shrink from the c-o*»t and the difficul-

ties of such a work as this. Extending from
one degree nortli of Quito to Cuzco.and from
Cuzco to Chili, it was quite as long as the
two Pacific railroad*.,, nnd its wild route
among the mountains was far more difficult, i
Sarmiento, describing it, said, " It seems |
10 me that if the Emperor (Charles V.) should
see fit to order the construction of another
ro-id like that which leads from Quito to
Cuzco, or that which from Cuzco goes toward
Chili, I certainly think he would not be able
to niake it, with all his power." Humboldt
examined some of the remains of this road,
and described as follows a portion of it seen
in a pass of the Andes, between Alansi and
Loxa : Our eyes rested continually on superb remains ola paved road of the Incas.
The roadway, paved with well-cut, dark,
porphyritic stone, was twenty feet wide, and
rested on deep foundations. This road was
marvelous. None of the Roman roads I have
seen in Italy, in the South of France, or in
Spain, appeared to me more imposing than
this work of the ancient Peruvians." He suw
remains of several other shorter roads which
were built in the same way, some of them
between Loxa and the RiverAmazon. Along
these roads at equnl distances were edifices,
a kind of caravanseras, built of hewn stone,
.for the sccommodation of travelers.
These great works were described by every
Spanish writer on Peru, and in some accounts
of them we find suggestions in regard to their
history. They are called roads of the
Incas," but they were probably much older
than the time of these rulers. The mountain
road running toward Quito was much older
than the Inca Huayna Capac, to whom it Ims
sometimes been attributeu. It is stnted that
when he started by this route to invade the
Quitus, the road was so bad that " he found
great difficulties in the passage." It wns
then an old road, much out of repair, and he
immediately ordered the necessary reconstructions. Gomara says, " Huayna Capac
restored, enlarged and completed these roads,
but he did not build them, as some pretend."
These great artificial highways were broken
up and made useless at the time of the Conquest, and the subsequent barbarous rule of
the Spaniards allowed them to go to decay.
Now only brokm remains of them exist to
show their former character.

Good Reading in Dull Times.
We arc constantly hearing the complaint
that the weather is warm and the times are
dull. Wp do not dispute either assertion, but
instead of uttering unavailing murmurs, we
| would suggest the adoption of some pleasant
method of recreation. .Suppose, Honolulu
[ reader, that you step into Thrum's book-store
or newspaper depot, and instead of buying
some trashy novel or illustrated paper, you
purchase John Forster's Life of Charles Dickens. Take it home with you, and you may
be sure that you have in your possession a
book worthy of being read, aye, studied.
Charles Dickens' life is something to be
studied. Reading this book, you will see the
process Of birth and growth of such characters as Oliver Twist and Mr. Pickwick. Some
things in this book (neatly surprise ist, We

rather chary about rn/onning the world tha

their labels ! Then, too, Mr. Forater lei
his readers all about Dickens'father's iinpri

The reading of this book does not leav
upon the mind the impression that Dicken
character was altogether lovely. His hart
experiences in boyhood grated terribly upo
his sensitive mind, anil did not tend to dc
velop the gentleman of delicate reflucmen
and finished culture. We can now sec tha
there was a reason for his narrow breadth o
views and carping observations, so appare
in his " American Notes.' Mr. Forster tells
us much, but he has only whetted our appetite to learn much more about this great novelist. Some of our renders may be interested
in reading the following extract from one of
his letters, written during his first visit to
America in 1842:
"I said I wouldn't write anything more
concerning the American people for two
months. Second thoughts are best. I shall
not change, and may as well speak out--to
you. They are friendly, earnest, hospitable,
kind, frank, very often accomplished, far less
prejudiced than you would suppose, warmhearted, fervent, and enthusiastic. They are
chivalrous in their universal politeness lo
women, courteous, obliging, disinterested ,
and, when they conceive a perfect affection
for a man (as I may venture lo say of myself), entirely devoted to him. 1 have received
thousands of people of all ranks and grades,
and have never once lieen asked ati offensive
or unpolite question,—except by Englishmen,
who, when they have been 'located' here for
some years, are worse than the devil in hi
blackest painting. The State is a parent lo
its people; lias a parental care nnd watch
over all poor children, women luboriug of
child, sick persons, and captives. The common men render you assistance in the Ftreets,
and would revolt from the offer of a piece of
money. The desifc to oblige is universal,
and I have never awe traveled in a publir
conveyance without making some generous
acquaintance whom 1 have been sorry to part
from, and who has in many cases come on
mil-s, to see us again. But I don't li>.e MV
oountry. I would not live here, on any consideration. It goes against the crrairi with
me. It would with you. t ilnnk it impossible, utterly impossible, for any Englishman
lo live here and be happy. I have a confidence that I must be right, because I have
everything, God knows, to lead me to thc
opposite conclusion ; and yet I cannot resist
coming to this one). As to the causes, the>

Prorogation of the Legislative Assembly
Yesterday, at 12 o'clock noon, tbe session or
the Legislative Assembly was brought to a close
by Royal Commission. A few minutes before
tbe bour, tbe Household Troops, the Honolulu
Rifles and the Hawaiian Artillery, all under command of Major W. L. Moebanua, marolied into
tbe Court House enclosure and formed in line,
making a very soldier-like appearance. Meantime tlio Hall ot the Assembly was filled with
ladles and gentlemen who bad been admitted to
witness the spectacle. On tho right of the Chair
was the Nobles, in front the Representatives, and
no the left the Foreign Consular Corps, with
their families. At 12 precisely, the Royal carriage left the I'alnco, containing Chief Justice
Allen, Chancellor of the Kingdom, and His Kxcellencv, P. Nahaolelua, Governor of Maui, who
had been appointed by His Majesty as His Royal
Commissioners fur tho occasion. The State carriage was escorted by the Hawaiian Cavalry,
Major 0. 11. Judd. As the cortege commenced
tii move, ii national salute was fired from the
Battery on Punch Bowl. On arriving at the
Court House, tho Commissioners were met by the
Ministers of tho Crown and escorted to tbo Assembly Chamber, when, after prayer by Archdeacon Mason and reading of the Royal Commission by the Secretary of tho Assembly, the
following speech from tho Throne was read in
Knglish and Hawaiian by tho Royal Commissioners :
Nobi.ks AM) Kki-kkskntativkm : 1 congratulate
you upon the teuuiiiaiiini of your protracted la-
bors, sod hope that you may be permitted to return in safety to your several homes.
I snail lake cure that tbe appropriations which
you have made on liberal scale for tbe maiute
nance ol Kooil government, the promotion ol the
health of My people and carrying on the public
improvements ot Oar country, shall continue to be
expended with the strictest economy and the utmost regard for the public good.
By the Constitution of Government and system of
Representation in the Hawaiian Kingdom, prominent and influential citizens should consider it their
duty to aid the administration of public affairs in
tbe Legislative Assembly. In the performance of
snob duties, demands are periodically made upon
the patience and intelligence ot tbe members. It
is to bi hoped that such demands will not be so
excessive as lo alarm gentlemen of judgment and
experience and prevent them Irom undertaking
public duties. I desire to express my high appreciation ot all thoso who at personal sacrifices have
given tb.'ir time and services to Legislative duties.
Tbe periodical coining together of tbe Legislative
Assembly is most benelicial in giving opportunity
to compare opinions, to despel prejudices, and to
commit tor the public good, even though no considerable changes may be found nocessary In tbe
laws.
1 sincerely trust that the few changes which you
have thought advisable, may bo found effectual for
good.
In returning to your constituencies you will be
enabled to assure them thai their Government
cares iiiireiailtcdly for their welfare, and you will
likewise give them the advantage of your experience
in public business, and exhort them to a continued
love or their couutry and Its institutions.

A Few Thoughts for the Consideration of
Christians.
It
is
the
Saviour's
declaration, strait is
"
the gate, and narrow is the way that leadcth
unto life, and few there be that find it.'' Has
this become wider, since the declaration was
made ? Does it require a less earnest effort
to enter it, and to walk therein? Has it become wide enough to accommodate those
who carry in their hearts the love of the
world 7 "If any one love the world, the love
of the Father is not in him."
Is the way that leads to life wide enough
to accommodate those who refuse to practice
self-denial? If so, it must have Become
wider than it was at first. But self-denial is
the very condition of discipleship,—the key
that opens the strait gate. Said the Saviour,
If any one will come after me, let him deny
"himself,
and take up his cross, and follow
me." To what extent is self-denial required ?
On this point there is a diversity of opinions.
The general principle however may be laid
down that we should deny ourselves everything which is injurious to body, mind, or
spirit; and everything that would exert a bad
influence on others. The mind is to be cultivated and furnished with useful knowledge ;
but if idle thoughts, castle-building, the reading of tales and novels, or anything else that
is unprofitable, stand in the way of mental
culture, then each and all these must be
given up. And so must everything be given
up that is prejudicial to the higher life. The
heart is to be kept with all diligence, as nut
of it arc the issues of life. To acquire symmetry of Christian character, all diligence is
requisite, as Peter teaches ; adding virtue to
faith, and knowledge to virtue, and self-control to knowledge, and patience to self-control,
and godliness to patience, and brotherly
kindness to godliness, and love to brotherly
kindness. (2 Pet. 1:5-7.) These graces are
to be cultivated with all diligence, ns they
beautify the character, and render the life
fruitful of good works. But without selfdenial there will be little diligence in cultivating theso graces ; consequently the life
will be like the barren fig tree. (Jod requires

Rev.T. Dwight Hunt, formerly of
Honolulu, has received a call to the Presbyterian Church in Nunda, New York.
Old Paved Road Around Maui.-The
Rev. Dr. Baldwin informs us that there are
traces of a paved road around the island of
Maui. It was constructed long ages ago by
a king of the island, named Kahihapilani,
who was expecting his sister from the island
of Hawaii. Thus reports tradition. If any
one versed in ancient lore and tradition can
give us definite information-upon the subject,
we Khali gladly publish it.
Another Martyr of Erromanga—The Rev.
J.D. Gordon.
BY THE REV. DR. STEEL.
Tidings have just arrived that another
Martyr has passed away from blood-stained
Erromanga. The Rev, James D. Gordon
was cruelly murdered there on the 26th of
February last. He was requested by a native of the island to visit his children, who
were sick. He went at once, as he was
always ready to do; but on their arrival at
the place they found that the children were
dead. The father immediately accused Mr.
Gordon of witchcraft, and of thereby causing
the death of the children, and he tomahawked
him on tho spot. Such was the account
given to Capt. Rosengren, of the Lyttona,
by a native, when he called at the island on
the 9th of May. The tribe to which this
narrator belonged buried the body of the missionary, and at once made war upon that to
which the murderer belonged. These are all
the particulars which have yet come to hand ;
but the missionary vessel Dayspring was
spoken by the Lyttona at Tanna on the 11th
of May, and was then bound for Erromanga.
Full investigation would be made by missionaries on board, so that the details of this
distressing occurrence may be expected in a
short time. This is now the fifth who has
met with a violent death in the cause of the
Gospel in Erromanga. On the 20th of November, 1838, the Rev. John Williams and
Mr. James Harris were massacred there by
the natives. The premature death of that
great apostle of the Pacific, Mr. Williams,
made a profound sensation in England, and
awakened a deeper interest than ever in Polynesian missions. Efforts were made again
and again to evangelize Erromanga, and
often failed. At length the Rev.G. N. Gordon nnd his wife settled there in 1857. It
was thought that the way hud been opened
for them by the labors'of native teachers;
bat alter four yean' residence, Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon were brutally murdered on the 20th
of May, 1861. Australian Pulpit News.

Rev.D. Nimmo.-Just as our paper was
going to press, it was our privilege to welcome this Congregational minister and his
daughter, on their voyage from Melbourne to
England, via San Francisco. On account of
the illness of his wile, he left his church in
London four years ago and went out to Melbourne, where he has preached with much
acceptance, as We learn from the minutes of
tbe meeting of tho Congregational Union,
and on his departure he was requested to
represent that body at the meetings of the
Congregational Union of Wales and England. He is expecting to resume his labors
in London on his return to England. It is
exceedingly pleasant to greet our English
ministerial brethren, as they pass to and
from between the Australian Colonies and
the Mother Country.

Government Survey of the Pacific.
The Government is now planning one of
the most important and comprehensive oceanic surveys ever undertaken. Under authority of receut Congressional legislation,
the Bureau of Navigation is arranging the
details of an expedition whose mission will
be to examine and survey the waters of the
Pacific and to furnish materials for accurately charting its vast surface and countless
islands.
In the projected expedition of our Government, the first step will be to survey all that
part of the Pacific running from the coasts of
Lower California to the northwestern boundaries of the United States, off Alaska and
along the Aleutian group of islands, and
thence southward to the Sandwich Islands.
One of the interesting and important physical phenomena that will be brought under
scientific review in this preliminary exploration will be the Sargosso Sea of tbe Pacific,
which lies to the westward of the Lower California coast, nnd is almost as distinctly
marked as the famous Sargosso crossed by
Columbus in his transatlantic voyage. The
expedition will also have unequalled opportunity for a full investigation of the great
ocean current known as the Kuro Siwo, and
which pours its immense volumes of superheated water on the Pacific coasts of America, affording them the bestand most delicious
of American climates, tempering alike the
heats of summer and the colds of winter.
After the more general survey of the North
Pacific it is proposed that the expedition shall
return to Honolulu, and thence continue its
labors over the entire ocean, taking belts of
latitude of five degrees at a time and covering the area between the fortieth parallel of
north latitude and the fortieth of south latitude. The time likely to be consumed in
the whole work will bo necessarily protracted

Quite a spirited discussion is going on in
England respecting the use of spirit* in the
case of fevers and other diseases. "Two
hundred and sixty English physician*, emiin their profession, have recently made
a public statement that, in their judgment,
alcohol is unnecessary in the treatment of
any disease, and, in many, positively injurious. One of the most eminent English
physicians, Dr. Wilkes, of Guy's Hospital,
makes tbe following statement:"
" At the present time, there are advocates
for a universal method in favor of alcohol in
all cases of fever. In my intercourse with
medical men, I judge that very many are
scarcely alive to the fact that typue fever is
very rarely fatal in young persons, and,
therefore, that they are too apt to attribute
recovery to their remedies. Young persons
always do well, if let alone. Of this fact I
could now quote a large number of case* in
proof; and, on the contrary, the few instances which I have seen end fatally have been
those in which a large amount of stimulants
was given from the commencement of the
disease ; and what, -perhaps, is even more to
the point, the withdrawal of stimulus, in
some ciseB where it was adopted as the method of treotment, has been attended with tbe
most decided advantage. The only two case*
which I have seen fatal, of late, have been
those of two students to whom a large amount
of stimulus was given, and who had the care
of the most assiduous nurses, night and day."
This discussion his been occasioned by the
treatment pursued during the illness.of the
Prince of Wales. The Massachusetts Spy,
from which we copy the above, bases it* remarks upon the London Lancet, and concludes with this remark: "The London
papers mention special honors to be awarded
to the physicians of the Prince of Wales ;
but, if the facts are correctly stated, the
award of such honors should be decreed only
to the physician who rescued him from being
killed by the brandy treatment."

Cause for Thanksgiving.—That terrible
scourge the small-pox, appeals to have disappeared. No new cases are reported, and
several cases of attack are reported as convalescent, and discharged from the hospital.
No cases are reported from the other islands,
and inter-island travel is resumed. Remembering the terrible and melancholy scenes
of 1853, when the yellow" flag waved upon

is due the Board of Health for their efficient
action, and also to our private physician* for
their activity and success in vaccination. It
is quite remarkable in how many cams vac.

“Mens Sana in Corpora Sano.”
The philosophy of morals is better understood now than it was a few decades ago.
Be virtuous and you will be happy," is as
"logical
as ever, but the adage has been degraded to the rank of a cant truism, because
of the lofty indolence of its principle, and the
isolated and unsyropathising nature of its ex-.
pression. It is as little significant of christian enthusiasm, as the words " depart in
peace, be warmed and filled," rung out with
sugar-coated smiles upon the hungry wayfarer, are significant of large-hearted generosity. Spiritual and material charity are
nearly allied, are out-goings from the same
warm heart,—a heart that, in either case,
while looking forward to the grand end, never forgets to provide, as far as possible, the
means of attaining it.
Man is a unity, and the heart is not the
sole field of the moral warfare; the mind
and the body also share in the responsibility
of success or defeat. Christianity is the consecration of the symmetrical whole, of the
unity, and its natural outward expression is
enthusiasm for the happiness of man, by
making it possible for them to become happy, possible for them to be virtuous, to be
wise, to be warmed and filled,—the conditions.

In 1887, Mr. Ellis was again united in marriage,

There,most unexpectedly, we met tbe Rev. Messrs.

pressure of professional labor, and enjoying daring

Prrserntlen In Madagascar.
Tbe history of tbe establishment of Christianity
In tbe Island of Madagascar, and subsequent persecutions, when many native Christians of that Island
wero enrolled In "tbe noble army of Martyrs," are
too well known for me to make more thau a passing
allusion to tbem. Tbe London Missionary Society
made arrangements for tbe establishment of a Mission on that Island as early as 1814. For about twenty
years that Mission bad prospered with various success. Tbe language was reduced to a written form,
books were published, and a small church, or
churches wore gathered. When the good work was
fairly commenced, and a bright prospect wis opening, then arose a Queen who "knew not Joseph:"
bat one who brongbt all tbe resources of her despotic power and resolute will to cgush out tbe feeble
beginnings of tbe Mission. Missionaries were forbidden to preach, and, if not banished, wero made
to feel that their presence was exceedingly offensive
to Royalty. Under these circumstances they withdrew to await results, but tbe iron beel of oppression pressed heavily upon the native couverts.
Tbe death penalty was decreed for any who professed
to be followers of Him who was crucified under Pontius Pilate. Every book teaching the principles of
the new faith, and every Bible was supposed to be
destroyed. These royal edicts were not mere formal
decrees, but stern realities, enforced by a brutal
soldiery and fawning sycophants, who aimed to Ingratiate themselves Into roysl favor by arresting
those suspected of having Imbibed the spirit of
Jesus of Nazareth. The full record of Madagascar
persecutions cau never be known, any more than
the lull records of tbe Inquisition will be revealed
In this world, but enough Is known to Insure the
Queen name and a place among the old persecuting Roman Emperors, and those of subsequent
times, who have mado the futile attempt to blot
the name of Christianity from tbe earth, If they
eonld accomplish their fell purpose by Imprisoning
snd putting to death, by tbe most cruel tortures,
those professing to be Christ's followers.
Mr. Ellis' Three Visit* t* Madagascar.
This was the state of affairs In that beautifu
Island when, In 1858, the Directors of the London
Missionary Society determined to send forth an'
agent who should endeavor to visit the interior of
the Island, aud ascertain the state of affairs. Their
thoughts turned to the retired literary Missionary
of Rom Hill, Hoddesdon. I can not detain you
with a detail of the preparations for bis departure
on this rather banrdons enterprise, and of his
voyage tbitber. But II any one desires to read those
details, be has only to peruse Ellis' Three Visits
to Madagascar," one of the most charming and
entertaining narratives of scientific and missionary
touring and voyaging of modern times. He proceeds
to the Cape of Oood Hope and from tbence to Mauritius, from whence he embarks for Madagsscar.
After visiting the Island be returns to Mauritius,
and after remaining > few months, returns to Madagascar on bia second visit.

Island somewhat extensively, be visits the Cspe of

these three visits, he becomes thoroughly acquainted
with tbe condition and history of tbe people, and
collects much valuable Information respecting tbe
commercial prospects of tbe country, and tbe Island
as a Held lor scientific investigation. He
fathered
abundant Information to convince blm that there
were many believing in Christianity wbo worshipped
God in secret, in the caves and mountain recesses,
and lb prisons. While the Queen treated him formally with much kindness, yet she still maintained
her unconquerable aversion to the preaching ot the
Gospel among her subjects. He was required to
conduct bis Investigations and observations with
the greatest prudence and caution.
He remarks,
near the end of tbe narration of his "Three Visits:"
"In reference to the religion of tbe present, reasons, which are obvious, require silence. Tbe
lews against the Christian religion are not repealed.

ol the Malagasy throughout future ages. I met and
conversed witb tho widowed survivors and tbeir
orphan children, as well as those who witnessed the
steadfastness of their faith, and tbe quiet triumph
of their death ; and from tbeir testimony have derived
more than confirmation of all that we bad previously
heard. Tbe authorities in Madagascsr, wbo sought
by torture snd death to extinguish the Christian
faith, by whatever motives tbey may have been
actuated, only Imitated tbe Dlocletians of early
ages, and tbe Alvas, the Medicis, and the Marys of
more recent times, and with corresponding results

Interview with Wrecked Hawaiian Sailor.
With a sad heart Mr. Ellis again left the Island,
but on this occasion to return to England, and
report to the Directors of the Society and the friends
ot missions, that the door of access was not yet
open to the Malsgssy people. He embarked from
Mauritius lor England on the IStb of January, 1857.
The steamer In which be took passage was commanded by Capt. Duudas, who has since visited
Honolulu, and from whom I obtained a restatement of certain interesting facts relating to a
native Sandwich Islander, found on a wreck at sea.
Eight days after their departure, in the Indian Ocean,
tbey fell In with the wreck of the American whaleship Henry Crappo. On the wreck only two survivors were fouud—the Captain and one Sandwich
Islander. They were nearly exhausted. Mr. Ellis
addressed the Dative iu his own languago, but received no reply. He then repeated two lines of a
hymn which ho had written many years before in
the Hawaiian language, commencing,
*
Akua, hemolole,
"HeHeAkua
no kakoa."
''Oh, how holy, divine,
The God we adore."
The man's countenance brightened, and when
Mr. Ellis ceased speaking, ho took up the strain, repeating the remaining lines of the verse
" Msikai wale, hewa olo,
:
"
Pono loa, ola man,"
•*Bo pure and eacred,

He alao added the remaining versos of the

this most singular and unexpected Incident, Mr.
Ellis remarks: "More than thirty years bad paased

Madagascar Revisited.
I will now return to tbe narrative of Mr. Ellis'
life. After returning to England, he was occupied
In tbe publication of his journal, and other llteraey
pursuits. At the end of four years, or dortng tbe
Autumn of 1801, tbe news reached England that
Ranavalo, tbe Queen of Madagascar, was dead, and
that ber son bsd succeeded to the throne. Knowing tbe stale of things in tbe Island, Mr. Ellis immediately embarked for another visit, and ere tbe
year closed, on December 27ih, be landed at Mauritius, ready to embrace the veryearliest opportunity
to proceed to Madagascar.
He did not, however,
reach tbe Island until tbe 25th of May, but then he
was most cordially welcomed. The Queen's son,
under the name of Radama 11, sent messengers
to assure him of a safe journey to tbe Capital. Native Christians csme off In tne boat to welcome

are embodied In a volume published by Mr. Ellis In
1867, and entitled, " Madagascar Revisited." Tbls
volume is dedicated, by special permission to tbe
Queeu of Englsnd. The attention of tbe friends of
Missions io England was now fully aroused to tbe
importance of making another vigorous attempt to
re-establish tbe Christian religion on that Island.
Old and surviving Missionsrles returned; new Missionaries were sent out; schools were established;
churches were built; and tbe missionary work waa
vigorously prosecuted under tbo auspices of the
London Missionary Society. At every step, Mr.
Ellis was consulted, and he became not s mere Idle

enthusiasm wblcb characterized bis youth, when

Return t* England.
After returning to England from bis last visit to
tbst Island, so eager snd earnest was be to carry
through the press an edition of tbe Bible in the Malagasy language, that be shut himself off for weeks
"
from general intercourse In a room at the Mission
House io Loudon, and there tolled on." Tbe writer
making tbls statement adds: "He was, Indeed, a
mighty worker. He never seemed to tire, nor, indeed to grow old, returning from bis travels to Madagascar looking as fresb snd yonngss ever. It wss
impossible to realize that a man who looked as
ruddy and walked as nimbly as be did, wss Indeed
aged."
This is iust tbe impression left upon my
mind after paying a visit to bis residence at Hoddesdon. At tbe time of my visit, both Mr. snd Mrs.
Ellis wero engaged In literary pursuits. She bad
justcompleted writing the last sheets ola work entitled, "Education of the Heart," while he wss
reading the proof sheets of bis Isst book, "Tho
Martyr Church of Madagascar." Very pleasant.
Indeed, was it to witness this missionsry sutbor,
and his companion, thua engaged, and most fully
sympathizing with each other in literary and philanthropic labors. We have met with tbe following

Dillingham & Co.'s New Hardware Store.
This enterprising firm has recently moved
into their new store, which is really one of
the most convenient, airy and well arranged
buildings in the city. They must have had
a large amount of goods stored away in outhouses and cellars which their old store
would not allow them to keep on exhibition.
If enterprise, advertising, prompt attention
to business and pleasant ways ensure success,
we are confident this establishment must succeed. In looking through this store, we cannot but express our wonder at the variety o(
articles which modern civilization demands,
and which the people require for housebuilding and house-keeping. Natives of this
group have come to require all the appliances of civilised life. A recent visitor of
much shrewdness and observation, remarked
in our hearing that nothing surprised hint
more in Honolulu than Dillingham & Co.'s
hardware store. This store is as complete, if
not as extensive, as you would find in the
Eastern States or England. See Dillingham
& Co.'s advertisements in the Advertiser and
Gazette. If you are not satisfied with those
and what we have written, just go and see
(and buy) for yourselves.
New Edition of Jarves' History of the
Hawaiian Islands.
Mr. Whitney deserves much credit for
publishing a nice edition of Jarves' History.
Although this is not a complete history of
this kingdom, yet it is probably the best. At
the time when first published—thirty years
ago—it did more to bring the Hawaiian
Kingdom before the world than any other
hook or publication. Previously the world
had been indebted to English and American
voyagers and missionary journals for information, but this publication placed before
the reading public a well written history of
an Island Kingdom in the Pacific, which
possessed all those elements of stability and
good government which fully entitled it to be
recognized as one of the great family of civilized nations. The real good which Mr.
Jarves did thereby cannot be overestimated ;
hence we have always regretted that the
Hawaiian Government did not employ him
lo prepare a full and complete history, fully
illustrated. The late Mr. Wyllie collected
materials for this purpose, and' Mr. Jarves
consented to undertake the work, but did not
receive the encouragement which we think
he ought to have done. It may not be-even
now too late for such an enterprise to be
carried ont. Mr. Jarvis is a vigorous, terse
and discriminating writer, and understands
the work of sifting the materials which
.should be incorporated iv a good history.

Albany Bethel Preacher and Young English
Nobleman.
The following paragraphs appeared in a
recent issue of the Albany Argus, New York,
one of the most prominent newspapers of
that city:
Many of our citizens remember the old,
square, block-like church, with its angular
sides, dusty and faded in appearance, on the
railroad track up a few rods north of the
Delavan House, called the Albany Bethel,
with a glaring sign announcing when services would be held, and that " strangers
were cordially invited to attend." The
building, its location, interior and surroundings were not more peculiar and eccentric
than the pugilistic-looking pastor, the Rev.
John Miles—who died a year or two ago
near Schenectady. The pastor was a reformed gambler, who had seen all the low
lands of infamy and sin and reformed, or, as
he quaintly expressed it, "about-ship and
stood square up to heaven." He was a man
of great natural power, with a feverish burning energy, a harsh grating voice, and a wild
startling imagination, handling the most
stupendous themes with a reckless familiarity that alternately shocked and fascinated
the listener. The subjects of his discourses
were always pre-announced through the papers, like the following: " The Eleventh
Hour, and Last Train Heavenward ;" " The
Storm of Hell begun;" "The World on
Fire," and so forth; all of a fearfully sensational character. Many prominent citizens
\vou!_ drop in as occasional listeners to these
sermons (although they were intended particularlyfor boatmen.) There was a remarkable genius or fire about this rough uncultivated roan. About the year 18— a young
English nobleman, wild, reckless, and dissipated, but a man of some talent, paid a visit
to Albany and was invited by the late John
Van Buren (w hose guest he was) to go down
to ihe "Bethel " and hear John Miles on
Express Train; Through with"outSalvation's
Change." It was a stormy afternoon and
few were out. The pastor was in a particularly gloomy mood. Shaking hands all round
as was his custom, Prince John thought it
would be a good joke to tell the pastor who
his distinguished auditors were ; accordingly
in a majestic way (which he could assume
with such ease as to almost bewilder a common man) be announced that he was John
Van Buren, eon of the President, and that
his companion was the heir of one of the
noblest families in England. With a selfpossession fully equal to Prince John's dignity, the pastor shook them both by the hand
*,nrl hoped they would nil met mi the othT
SEPTEMBER,
shore, beyond all distinctions of earth and
time;. then walked into the pulpit, sang a
hymn, prayed fervently for them, and commenced bis sermon. With more than wonted
vehemence his imagination painted murky
pictures of earth " as a great, dingy railroad
station, damp, cold, uncomfortable and cheerless, every one waiting for tho train ; trains
coming and going at all times, but few getting on ; hardly any one inquiring where the
trains go, and a great many taking Owl
trains, Wood trains, Construction trains,
Emigrant and Way trains, &c, which are
less attractive." Then he compared salvation to an " Express through train," without
change—and applied it in a wild, startling
manner to each hearer. The sermon ended,
the pastor rushed down from the pulpit and
grasping his two distinguished hearers by
the hand, fervently urged them to get aboard
Prince John and his
" that trainwereat once."
both serious, aud leff in a
lordship
thoughtful mood. And now comes the sequel, not particularly startling or strange, but
it exhibits the power not often seen of single
thoughts turning the entire destiny of life.
A prominent citizen of Albany was traveling
in England last summer and spent a Sunday
in Manchester. Attending church he was so
much pleased by the clear, eloquent sermon
of the pastor, that he went forward and
thanked him for it,after service. In the conversation that followed the name of Albany
was mentioned. Said the pastor "All my
religious training and preparation for the
ministry date from a sermon I heard there by
an eccentric sailor preacher." He then detailed the facts mentioned above, saying very
impressively, " 1 think Mr. Van Buren was
more seriously affected than I was, and if he
could only have heard another sermon from
that man, he might have been a preacher, as
I am." This clergyman was no other than
the nobleman who had thrown away all
honors and titles to become a minister of the
Gospel. He had probably heard (he most
eloquent divines of the age—but not one of
them touched his heart like the obscure pastor of the Albany Bethel.

The Great Seal Expedition.
»w Los*
the South Shetland Isles—Others
Depttrtnre nf the Firat Ship from
Hon
lor
I'rr-pnrloK lo Follow.
On Thursday there was a sound of mirth
and merriment in the quaint town of New
London, which, with the exception of New
Bedford, is the only important whaling station on the Atlantic coast of the United
States. The reason of the festivity in New
London was that the taut schooner E. B.
Simmons was, within a few hours, to weigh
her anchor and start on a sealing expedition
to the South Shetland Isles, which are within
ten days' sail of Cape Horn. On board of
the little craft, which is a quick sailer, were
gathered a goodly number of old sea-dogs,
who came to drink the Captain's health, and
wish him a fortunate voyage and thousands
of prospective seal skins. The owner of the
vessel, a Mr. Phillips, a furrier of this city,
was on board, also Captain Morrison, of No.
109 South street, in this city, who is to engage the officers and crews for several of the
ships about to leave for the inlands. In addition there were a large number of the
prominent residents of N»w London present.
18.2.
At last, amid great enthusiasm, the vessel
got under way, and the crowd dispersed.
She will call at the Cape Verde Islands and
take on board several Portuguese negroes, to
attend to the skinning of the seals and the
rendering of the blubber. This vessel is the
pioneer of some fifteen, others which are
bound to the islands, the following being an
approximate list of those now completing
their equipment: The Francis AUen
steamer of 120 tons now in this city; two
sailing vessels from Stonington, six from New
London, two from New York, sent out by
the furriers. In addition to the foregoing,
the Falkland Isles Trading Company, a powerful corporation, have expressed their intention of sending out vessels to the Shetland
on sealing expeditions. Last year, it may be
remembered, four vessels from New London
sailed for the New Shetland Isles, and returned last May, each vessel having gained
in a nine months' cruise over $60,000 apiece.
Their names were the Franklin, Pent,
Golden West and Pranris Allen, the latter now being in New York in course of
being altered from a sailing ship to a steamer.
Great interest is felt in these South Sea
scheme by the fur trade in this city, who believe that immense fortunes will be made
there by the seal fleet of this year. Furriers
here state that the South Shetland sealskins
are double as good as those from Alaska, and
that they will realize, when dressed and tanned, prices"varying from $40 to $50 a piece.

Good Templar Lodges
in England.—
Nearly five hundred Good Templar Lodges
have been organized in EnglancTsince February last, and the number is now one thousand. Scotland has eight hundred Lodge*
and eighty thousand members of Good Templars. It is not quite four years since tbe
Order was planted in Great Britain, and with
the same ratio of increase our co-laborers on
the other side of the Atlantic will in a few
years more outnumber us bere, where the
Order has been in existence for many years.
The Good Templars of Great Britain have
no omnibus clap-trap nttachments to their
work, and no dead-weight candidates for
President. They go straight for tbe good of
the cause, exclusive of political or any other
outside consideration. Let the Good Templars of America, who should be first to furnish examples, strive to emulate the zeal and
earnestness of their Brothers over tbe way,
and success will follow. Let us fight it out
on this line, and our labors will not have
been vain and fruitless.—American paper.
Revenue of the Church of England.—The
