THE FRIEND.
IBT3.
JANUARY t,
Kamehameha Dynasty.
Kamehameha I. was born in 1753, or
twenty-five years before the islands were discovered by Capt. Cook, 1778. He has been
styled the " Napoleon of the Pacific," having
conquered all the islands of this group, and
established a dynasty, which has lasted nearly a century, having been almost cotemporary
with the Republic of America. He died at
Kailua, Hawaii, May Bth, 1819.
Kamehameha 11. was the son of the
former, and was born in 1797, on the island
of Hawaii. He was proclaimed King on the
death of his father. During the first year of
his reign idolatry was abolished, and during
the second year the American missionaries
arrived, or rather they arrived just at the
close of the first year of his reign, in March,
1820. He sailed for England in October,
1823, where he and his Queen botji. died in
July, 1824. They were kindly received by
George IV., and after their death their remains were returned to the islands on board
H. B. M.'s S. Blonde, commanded by Capt.
Byron, a cousin of the poet.
Kamehameha 111. was also a son of Kamehameha 1., and was born March 17, 1814.
He died at the age of 42,December 15,1854.
During his reign the old feudal system of the
Kingdom was abolished and a Constitutional
Government established. Tbe lands were surveyed and fee-simple deeds granted. Many
other important changes were effected. The
King was acknowledged as independent by
the great nations.
Kamehameha I Y. was proclaimed King,
having been adopted and appointed successor
by the former King. He was son of Kinau,
a daughter of Kamehameha 1., by His Excellency Kekuanaoa, Governor of Oahu. He
was educated at the Royal School, taught by
A. S. Cooke, Esq. He was a well educated
gentleman, and while a Prince accompanied
his brother, the late King, and Dr. Judd on
a visit to America and Europe. He died
November 30, 1863, at the age of 29 years,
and was succeeded by his brother,
Kamehameha V., who has since reigned.
He died on the 11th of December, 1872, at
the age of 42 years, having died upon his
birthday.
His late Majesty not having appointed a
successor, it devolves upon the Legislature to
elect a successor on the Bth of the current
month.

American Government was the creation of the

electing a King, and arguing that all governments are derived from a consent of the people. A new era has dawned upon the Hawaiian nation ; an hereditary chief, and one

There is an elevation, sublimity and grandeur running through the Book of Revelation,
which gives to this portion of the Bible a position not only above all uninspired books, but
even above many portions of the inspired volume. The Apostle John had been banished
to the isle of Patmos, a small, rocky and
mountainous island in the
Sea.
While there, he was favored with a series of
visions, which he was instructed to describe.
Many different interpretations have been

most precious stone. The gold-digger may

It is quite impossible not to admire the life
of such a veteran missionary, who left his
country fifty years ago, and after voyaging
around Cape Horn, settled down among the
Hawaiians to learn their language, assist in
reducing it to a written form, and then spend
a long lifetime in preaching and laboring
among this people. His thoughts have become their thoughts. By means of the sermons which he preached, books and hymns
which he wrote and translated, and above
all, by the, life which he led, his own lifethoughts, have become interwoven and intertwined with the life-thoughts and literature
of Hawaiians.

the architect of St. Paul's Cathedral, died

is a marble slab, upon which is inscribed

monument is that noble Cathedral, the pride
of London and glory ot England. If any
visitors to these shores should inquire for the
monument of Mr. Bishop or those of his associates, could we not say to them, " Look
around. You will see their monuments in
the schools and school-books, in the Bible
and hymn-books, in the fifty native churches,
�all which has contributed to build up this
people, intellectually, morally and spiritually."
Most honorable and praiseworthy are the
works of such men, and they will follow
•.hem, agreeably to the sentiment of my text,
in both this world and the world to come.
Such works as these are the treasures which
in
may be laid up " in heaven, where neither
moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves do not break through nor steal."
Man cannot take with him gold or silver,
honors or pleasures of earth to another world,
but the moral results of his life and labors
willaccompany him. Characteris indestructible and imperishable. This will live, and
live on forever. In this respect eternity will

istjjjafMy, let him be holy still," and " he
which is filthy, let him be filthy still." Mr.
Barnes admirably remarks : " It is one of the
highest honors of our nature that we can
make the present affect the future for goods
that by our conduct on earth we can lay the
foundation for happiness millions of age;
hence. Jn no other respect does man appear
so dignified as in this; no where do we see
so clearly the grandeur of the soul as in the
fact that we to-day may determine our happiness in that future period, when all the affairs of earth shall have been wound up, and
when ages which cannot now be numbered
shall have rolled away. It is then a glorious
thing to live and a glorious thing to die."
Yes, it is a glorious thing to die, when a
person has lived long and labored faithfully
in tbe cause of his Divine Master; whose
language finally will be, " Well done, good
and faithful servant; enter thou into the joy
of thy Lord." A few hours before Mr.
Bishop died, he asked his physician respecting the nature of his disease, but noticing
that there was a little hesitation on his part
to reply, only saying, " You are a very sick
man," he spoke up in a very cheerful and
characteristic manner, " You need not be
afraid to stale the truth, for I have been ready
to go these twenty years."
When a good man dies in old age, having
served his day and generation faithfully, having enjoyed health and prosperity, having accomplished the great end of life and goes
prepared to another world, I think we may
catch something more than a glimpse of what
our lot in this world would have heen, had not
Satan, through the sin of our first parents,
* Brought death into theworld and all our woe."
It is useful also to contemplate the lives of
good men, living and dying iff bur own as
well as in past ages. God is now working
as truly through good men as he did two,
three and four thousand years ago. Our
Saviour's last command is both explicit and
encouraging: "Go ye, therefore, and teach
all nations; * * * and 10, I am with you
alwav, even unto the end of the world."
It is our favored privilege to live in an age
and part of the world when and where we
may see this command fulfilled and the
promise carried out. I do not suppose our
departed friend ever entertained a doubt since
leaving the shores of America in November,
1822, or fifty years ago, that he ■had mistaken the nature of that command in coming

presence of his Divine Master. He always
labored cheerfully, heartily and hopefully in
his Master's employ. The record of such a
life passes into the annals of the history of
Redemption. It will no more be lost than
will that of Paul. Such men may rest from
their labors, but their works will follow them
through time and eternity. They will form
a part of that glorious spectacle referred to
by Isaiah when he speaks of the Messiah,
seeing " of the travail of his soul and shall
be satisfied."
As I stood by the grave opened to receive
the remains of our departed brother, and by
the side of the graves of Armstrong, Knapp,
Chamberlain, Cooke and others whom I had
seen there committed to the dust, I felt as if
for the moment, 1 had- reached with Bunyun's pilgrim the land of Beulah, and heard
the voices of the shining ones on the other
side of the river. I could hardly be mistaken
in the impression that they had come to
warn some of our company to make all necessary preparation for crossing, for I saw that
the locks of several of the older missionaries
standing there were already " silvered o'er
with the frosts of age." It required no
stretch of the imagination to hear a voice
issuing from that opened grave, saying, " Be
ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye
think not, the Son of man cometh."
Let us then join in singing the Pilgrim's

It is well known that such citizen* resort to foreign countries in great numbers, and though most
of them are able to bear the expenses incidont to

The Future
King.
There appears to be a general uprising of
tbe Hawaiian people on all part*) of the islands, from Hawaii to Niihau, in favor of His
Royal Highness Prinre William (J. Lunalilo. Mass meetings have been held at
various localities for the purpose of giving
expression to public sentiment, and for instructing the Representatives how they shall
vote at the coming meeting of the Legislature. By acclamation, Prince William is the
candidate for the throne. It is peculiarly
fortunate for the pence of the community that
there should bo this unanimity in the popular mind. Agreeably to the proclamation of
the Prince, there will be a gathering of the
people to-day, January I, in all the districts
for .(he purpose of voting. Although this is
not a decisive and binding vote, yet it will
more fully indicate the people's mind.
Perhaps our readers abroad may be interested in learning something respecting the
position of the incoming Sovereign of the
Hawaiian Islands. Prince William C. Lunalilo wss born January 31, 1835, and ishence thirty-seven years of age. He derives
his rank as a chief from his mother, Her
Royiil Highness Miri.ima Kekauluohi, who
died June 7, 1845. At the time of her death
she was the Premier of the Kingdom, having
succeeded Kinnu, the mother of Kamehameha IV. and Y. Sh%was a chiefess of the
highest rank at the time of her death. Mr.
Jarves in an obituary notice published in the
Polynesian of June 21, 1845, writes thus :
" She was the last adult member of that distinguished family which for the past sixty
years has, as it were, shared the Hawaiian
throne with the Kings themselves. Her
grandfather, Keeaumoku, was the most noted
of all the warriors of Kamehameha 1., and by
his personal prowess placed thateminent man
on the throne of Hawaii; first by slaying
with his own hand his great antagonist Kiwalao, and subsequently Keoua, the only
remaining enemy on that island." He became chief counselor and executive agent in
conducting the affairs of the Kingdom. Key
kauluohi, his grand-daughter, was the mother
of Prince William.
According to Hawaiian history, she was
betrothed in her youth to Pemarc, the King
of Tahiti, but his death prevented the union
by marriage of the Kingdoms of the Hawaiian and Society Islands. She is reported to
htve been remarkably handsome in her
youth, and as having possessed a very tenacious memory, treasuring up the old genealogies of the islands. Our readers wilj find
i good likeness of this
chiefess in the fourth
JIMIRV,
1873.
volume of " Wilkes' Exploring Expedition,"
snd also in Anderson's Hawaiian Islands."
"
Reference to Ihe foregoing facts will account for that deep feeling among Hawaiians
for Princo William as their future King, in
preference over all other candidates. He was
educated at the Royal School, and we remember him as a bright scholar. He speaks
and writes the English language with much
ease. Should he succeed to the throne, we
earnestly hope and pray that he may enjoy
a long and happy reign. Profiting by the
successes and errors of the past, we hope the
Kingdom of Hawaii will now take a new departure in all those elements of prosperity
which go to make the people happy and the
rulers beloved, fully believing with Solomon
thnt " Righteousness exalteth a nation but
sin is a reproach to any people."
:
The Japanese and the English Language.—At the late meeting of the Oriental
Society at New Haven, tho corresponding
secretary read a letter from Mr. Mori, Ihe
representative of Japan at Washington. Mr.
Mori's letter caused considerable discussion,
in consequence of the novel opinion which he
entertains in regard to the Japanese language. He thinks the spoken language too
poor for the progress of that people, and that
a new language-is demanded. He speaks of
the schools and books of Japan as being
almost useless. He favors the adoption of
the English alphabet, and the preparation of
text books of the most simple forms. He
would make all verbs radical. He feels assured, if Japan would attain to the highest
civilization, she must have a better language.
Prof. Whitney and others felt that this never
can be done; that the present Japanese language must be developed, and whatever is
good must be retained, while the useless element, must be goj rid of.— Thf I'aiific.
The Japanese may accomplish much in the
way of peaceful revolution, but one thing
they will not find it easy to perform. They
cannot banish the vernacular language of the
common people. Novices and ignoramuses
censure missionaries for not banishing the
Hawaiian and other languages spoken by a
once heathen people, but it cannot be done
immediately. The most noteworthy example wherein a missionary attempted to preach
the gospel in English or pigeonvEtiglish to a
heathen people, was that of the Rev. Mr.
Snow to the inhabitants of Strong's Island.
When we visited that island in 1861, Mr.
Snow stated these interesting facts: The
peculior dialect of (he people of that island
facilitated the acquisition of English words
and pronunciation of the sounds of our language. A broken English was slready
known to the people. For four years Mr.
Snow endeavored to preach to the people in
that lingo, but then fell back upon the pure
vernacular of the islanders. He sat down
anew to tho work of acquiring the language,
and what is quite remarkable, actually sue
ceeded. He found it utterly impracticable to
change the language. The French at Tahiti
have tried lo banish the native language, but
have failed. Eight hundred years ago, William the Conqueror tried to make the common people of England speak French, but
failed. The English language may spread
over our globe, but the process cannot be
forced.
A Sailor Turned Missionary.
Our colporteur, Mr. Dunscombe, received
a letter by a late mail frcm an old seafaring
friend who left his ship in Siain, and during
tho last seven or eight years has been laboring under the auspices of the AmericM Missionary Association. The letter is daa-H
Bankok, from which we quote ns follows :
" I came here in 1863. After our arrival
here I left the vessel and went mate* of a
Siamese vessel for one voyage. I then joined
the Mission. I have plenty of work and good
health. Here there is a plenty of work for
those who are ready to work for Christ. True
there are some fourteen or sixteen missionaries, but what arc they among so many ? It
is about forty years ago since the first missionaries came to Sin in, nnd there urc two
now living who came in 1836, yet with all
those years of labor and patient waiting the
progress appears but small. This people are
Buddhists—about the worst people on earth
to be influenced by the mild doctrines of
Christianity and the story of the Cross. It
is next to impossible to awaken in their
minds a sense of guilt, a need of pardon, or
even an idea that there is n living God who
rules over all, to whom they are accountable.
They believe that their own merits will take
them to heaven, or Naffan as they call their
highest heaven ; this is in fact endless sleep,
or rather annihilation. Accnrding to their
system Buddha, or their God, is now in a
state of unconsciousness—neither knows,
hears or sees, exercises no supervision nor
control over anything here below, and in fact
is blotted out of existence entirely; and this
is what each and every one aspires to. If
this is so, better adopt the Darwin theory,
and return to a state of monkevhood;"
The Order of Good Templars.—From
the reading of the thirteenth annual report of
the Grand Lodge of California and the eighteenth report of the Lodge of Wisconsin, we
infer that this Order is making rapid progress
in the United States and accomplishing much
good. The usefulness of the several Lodges
on these islands is clearly manifest. They
have caused peace, prosperity and happiness
to enter many a family where formerly the
demon of intemperance reigned.
Many
young men bylheir usefulness have been reformed, as we can testify.
Our old friend, Captain A. D. Wood,
formerly of the China clipper ship Oracle,
appears to have left his command on the sea
to take charge of the ship " Good Templar "
of California. Success (o him, his associates
and all laboring to put down intemperance,
on land or sea.

THE FRIEND,
Scho ls of the
Prophets.
BY REV. D. DOLE.
As a Hawaiian school of the Prophets has
been recently established at Honolulu, it may
not be uninteresting to the readers of the
Friend to see an sccount of the Hebrew
schools of the Prophets, such as may be
gleaned from the Bible. A prophet is a messenger, or interpreter of the Divine will. It
pertained to the prophetic office not only to

edge that I cannot find authority for all this
in the Sacred narrative ; but historians often
make much put of little. From this passage
it may be inferred that music was a part of
the education of the young prophets. Four
kinds of musical instruments are mentioned,
and a fifth, the cymbal is specified in 1
Chron. 25:1. The utterances of Miriam the
prophetess were accompanied with timbrels,
when she and the women of Israel joined in
the triumphal song on the shore of the Red
Sea.—Ex. 15:20, 21. Elisha on one occasion called for a minstrel to play, in order to
soothe his perturbed spirit and fit him to receive the Divine message.—2 Kings 3:14,15.
"ofDavid separated to the service of the sons
Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthan,
who should prophesy with harps, with
psalteries, and with cymbals."—l Chron.
25:1.
The study of-poetry, the sister art of
music, was doubtless a part of their education. Bishop Lowth says : •' Though the
Sacred history affords us but little informa-
predict future events, but also to teach the
law and to exhort to holy living. Paul says
He that prophesieth speaketh unto men to
"edification,
and exhortation, and comfort."—
1 Cor. 14:3. He meant by " prophesying
the same that we mean by "preaching." So"
did Jeremy Taylor in his treatise " On the
Liberty of Prophesying." But " prophecy
came not in old time by the will of man, but
holy men of old spake as they were moved
by the Holy Spirit."—2 Pet. 1:21. In this
they had great advantage over many preachers of the present time, who give little evidence of being moved by the Holy Spirit. tion, and that in a cursory manner, concernBalaam was anything but a holy man ; but ing the institutes and discipline of the schools

time there was no prophet in Israel. The
book is supposed to have been written about
one hundred and twenty years before Christ.

"How I Found Livingstone."—This is
the title of Mr. Stanley's new book, justpublished in England and America". In the
London llluxtrateil Xcics for November 9,
1872, we find a notice of the book. It is a
volume of 736 octavo pages, fully illustrated
with six maps and twenty-eightlull-page engravings. It will no doubt prove an intensely
interesting volume. Altogether, Mr. Stanley's expedition into the interior of Africa,
employed 192 persons. Four caravans started from Zanzibar, and he followed with the
caravan. He left Zanzibar March 21st,
871, but did not reach Ujiji and discover
Livingstone until Nov, 10th, He remained
with him about four months, and then started again for the coast March 14th, when he
bade farewell to the illustrious explorer. Mr.
Stanley did not reach Zanzibar until June.
The expedition is reported to have cost 840,-060. There is no doubt but that immense
good will result, for already the British Government has fitted out a naval expedition for
the suppression of the Slave Trade, inakinq

go into the forest and cut timber and build
a place by the Jordan. The building thus
erected must have displayed some of the features of a log cabin in the woods of America. -And if their dwelling place was simple
and rude, their food also must have been
frugal and cheap. When there was a famine, pottage was provided for the sons of the
prophets, and one of the ingredients of the
pottage was wild cucumbers. These were
disagreeable to the taste, and supposed to be
poisonous; but the one who gathered them
was ignorant of their qualities. The young
prophets had no sooner begun Xo eat than
they perceived there was something wrong,
and they at once exclaimed, " There is death
in the pot." They supposed that their food
had been poisoned. And must they gs>hungry ? for it seemed that they had no second
course. By the direction of Elisha, a little
meal was cast into the pot, their fears were
allayed, and they partook of the pottage,
without injury.—2 Kings-4:38-41. There is
little probability that the sons of the prophets
on these islands will be called to practice
greater self-denial in pursuing their education.
The Sacred writers have neither told us
how many of these schools there were, nor
how many students any one ojMhein contained. Obadiiih concealed andrMrpported a
hundred of them for a time during the reign
of Ahab.—l Kings 18:4. And fifty of them
were sent in a fruitless search over mountains and valleys after Elijah.— 2 Kings

Eighteenth Annual Report of the Honolulu
Sailor’s Home Society.
• The opening of the new year reminds us
that the Constitution and Charter of the
Honolulu Sailor's Home Society require?
new Trustees, and officers must be chosen.
In reviewing the year, it appears that the
falling off in the visits of whaleships to this
port has essentially diminished the number
of boarders. From the books it appears that
ihe number of senmen boarding at the Home
has been fifty-five, while a much larger number have lodged for a single night. The
lodging for a single night includes mostly
men-of-war's men ashore on liberty from the
English and American vessels. Many of
these men are very quiet and orderly, and it
is a great pleasure to such persons to have a
respectable and well-conducted lodging-house
while on shore.
The Reading Room and Depository have
been visited by many scores of seamen attached to vessels lying in port. The crew of
the English ship George Thompson, so
much appreciated the benefits conferred upon
seamen by the " Bethel," " Home," "Reading Room" and " Depository," that they
deputized one of their number to call upon
the Chaplain and express tkeir thanks, and
desired to acknowledge the indebtedness of
seamen to the friends and patrons of the institutions. I hope this fact will.encourage
the Y. M. C. A. in their efforts in sustaining
the Reading Room, which is so great a boon
to seamen and strangers visiting Honolulu.
Much of the usefulness of these various
methods for benefiting seamen and others, is
due to the constant attendance of Mr. Dunscombe, who is always ready to supply seamen yrith reading matter from the Depository,
and with writing materials, if they desire to

American Home Life at Christmas.
Miss Fredrika Bremer, in her book entitled " The Homes of the New World,"
has sketched many charming and delightful
homes scattered through America, from the
Atlantic to the Falls of Minnehaha, in Minnesota. To understand and appreciate the
American people, it is requisite to visit them
in their quiet rural homes, away from the
great centres of business and lines ofrailroad
travel. One of our correspondents has
briefly sketched one of these homes situated
in Ohio, the very heart of the nation, which
may be taken as a type of ten thousand such
in other parts of the widely extended country. " Aunt Jeannie " and "Little Martha "
are names we shall not erase, because they
too are typical, although the characters are
not fanciful, for they are like the " Old
Town Folks " of Mrs. Stowe, which are
said to be found in every town in New England. If our limits would allow, we might
set over against this sketch of a Christmas
scene in Ohio, a New England Thanksgiving sketch.

Except when tabooed or on the sicklist, every inmate is at liberty to leave the
institution, and visit his friends in the city
or elsewhere. All he is required to do is to

In May of the following year (1831) the
trustees purchased their present site upon
Staten Island, consisting of a farm containing 130 acres of land, for the sum of 810.000.
Subsequently they purchased 21 acres more,
with a water-privilege, which had been originally a part of this farm, bat had been sold,
and was used for manufacturing purposes,
the price paid for this part of the property
being $6,000. These two parcels of land now
constitute the farm and grounds of the Sailors' Snug Harbor. At a still later period the
trustees added to the farm, by lease, 36 acres
of excellent woodland.
In October, 1831, was laid the corner-stow:
of.the main building, which, over a marblo
foundation, was built of brick, two stories
high, with a portico supported by eight Doric
pillars in Vermont marble. A broad flight ol
marble steps leads to the main entrance, and
the centre of the roof supports a low cupola
of an oval shape. This building, embracing
all of what was then the Sailors' Snug HaFbor, was completed in 1833, and formally
opened on the Ist of. August of that year with
great festivities, furnishing a home for thirty
aged and worn-out sailors.
Subsequently two wings were added to
the main building, and connected with* this
by two covered corridors of one story each.
These wings are built of the same material,
and are of the same height as the main building, and are wholly occupied by sleeping
apartments. The centre or main building
has a frontage of 65 feet, with a depth of 100
feet; wch of the two wings is 51 feet by 100;
and the connecting corridors are each 39 feet
6 inches in length. Later yet the rear building was erected, of dimensions nearly similar
to those of the main building, but threr
stories in height, the two upper stories being
partitioned off into lodging and sleeping
rooms.
In front of the main building is the marble monument erected over the remains of
the founder, which were in August, 1834,
removed hither from their original place of
to rest.

W.H. Seward as a Lawyer.
One of the celebrated cases with which
Mr. Seward was connected was " the Freeman case." Freeman had been a convict in
the Auburn Penitentiary. Soon after his
discharge he killed three persons at one
house, as fast as they came to him at tho
door. The people were exceedingly outraged
by the murder, and in almost any other community in this country ho would have been
lynched. A Universalist minister and several other kind-hearted people urged Mr.
Seward to defend the wretch. He was overrun with business and at first declined, but
gave way finally. The trial occupied i>
month. The Prosecuting Attorney was assisted by John Van Buren, then Attorney
General. The Judge and jury were opposed
to the prisoner from the* beginning, and ho
was refused change of venue. A conviction
followed. Mr. Seward held that the man
was insane, made so by ill treatment while
in prison. He then appealed to the Governor (Silas Wright) to suspend sentence
until points could be carried to the Supreme
Court. This was refused. Mr. Seward then
sought out one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court and argued the case in chambers. A
writ of supersedeas was granted and a new
trial ordered.
All this time there was a great clamor kept
up against Seward, but so sure was he that
justice had not been done that he kept on his
way steadily. After his return, he prevailed
upon the Judge who had tried the case to
visit Freeman in prison. The Judge was
astonished to find that the prisoner was unmistakably insane and in a dying condition.
He was much affected, and, turning to Mr.
Seward, said " Mr. Seward, you were right,
and we were all wrong; the man shall never
be tried again." Soon afterward Freeman
died, and a post mortem developed the fact
that his brain was almost destroyed by disease. This case added much to Seward's
fame, both as a lawyer and a just man in
the end, (hough it had made him excessively
unpopular for a time. His defense of Freeman was pronounced by Gladstone the ablest
defense in the English language. An English gentleman said, "You forget Huskisson." Gladstone replied, "I do not forget—
there is nothing in the English language
equal to the defense." The defense mi

father, who made provudou for the missionaries destined for
the Island of Kauai. Mrs. Whitney labored there with her
hutiband until his death In Decernher, 1845. A long ul>ituat%
noticeofhis death will be found in the Friend of January Iftlfi,
1846. After her huahand's death she preferred to remain at
her early home. It has always been her practice, however, in
visit Honolulu once a year at the annual meeting of the toisaionarlea In May or June. Bhe out I quo I this practice when
the hil.rinitii-s of age would indicate that ahe should have

The Sad Case of James C. King.
The career of this man as a book-keeper
and merchant is so well known to our readers on the islands, that we need make no
apology for inserting the following sketch of
another sufferer under his lawless and revengeful, guilty and murderous hand. If
any one deserves to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, we think it must be this
man, who escaped with far too light a punkhment for shooting his father-in-law, and
now appears to have deliberately taken the
of another of his fellow-men, not to menn his repeated acts of fraud and swindling:
The Murdered O'Neill—Anthony Frant O'Neill— The subject of this sketch was
m in Glamorganshire, in Wales, on theBth
y, of June, 1840, and at the age of eight
years came to this country with his parents
and settled in Boston, Mass. He was educated as a civil engineer and draughtsman,
is
but about the year 1861 entered the navy,
and was rapidly promoted until he became a
lieutenant, and had command of three different gunboats on the Mississippi, and participated in seventeen engagements, the most
important of which was that before the forts
below New Orleans. He bore an excellent
reputation among his fellow officers for personal courage. After the war he resigned
from the navy and practiced his profession
at Boston Highlands, Mass., where he continued until he received an appointment as
freight agent of the Erie Railway Company
in October, 1869, which position he held at
the time bf his death, which occurred on the
18th inst., he having been shot by one James
C. King, against whom the deceased had
testified in a suit for divorce brought by Mrs.
■ling against her husband, Mrs. King haypreviously found a shelter Hnd home
the deceased and his wife.. Mr. O'Neill's
K
I),
¥KBRI A R V ,
relatives state that when all the facts connecting him with the case in which he lost
his life are made public, it will reflect great
credit upon the deceased, and vindicate him
against every reproach. His wife says of
him: "He wi.s a good man, a kind and
faithful husband, and a loving father. He
lost his life in saving that of a noble, truehearted and much injured woman." She
further says that " since his marriage he
never placed his head upon his pillow at
night without commending his soul to God."
He was esteemed among his friends and acquaintances as an exemplary ni. His
funeral took place on WednesdayTrom St.
Stephen's church, and was attended by a
large number of his friends and acquaintances.— World.
Who is "Edward Garrett?"
Some years ago we read a charming English story, entitled, " Occupations of a Retired Life," by " Edward Garrett." We have
often wondered who the author might be. An
American correspondent of the New York
Observer now traveling in England, gives
the following sketch of this hitherto mysterious personage, over whose name the significant motto of Junius has hitherto stood—
" Stat umbra : "
1 am able to answer this question. I
have seen the author, Edward Garrett, and
have enjoyed the hospitalities of the author's
house. Through the kindness of Dr. Guthrie
I was introduced to Mrs. Mayo, of London,
who is Edward Garrett. She is now twentynine years of age, and was married two years
ago to John R. Mayo, Esq., solicitor, .of
London. Mrs. Mayo's maiden name was
Isabella Fivey. Her father was a baker, who
lived over his own shop, near Charing Cross,

gifts. She is now the principal or first
writer in the " Sunday Magazine" since
George McDonald has gone to America.
Mrs. Mayo is now writing in serial numbers for the Sunday Magazine," " Crooked '•
Places," which will not be concluded for
about one year.
"
"It has been decided in executive circles
that the official receptions for the season will
set an example of strict temperance."—Hatchange paper.
In one of our American exchanges we find
the above item mentioned. It is highly gratifying to learn from this and other sources,
that temperance principles are gradually
gaining ground at Washington. " The
Bar" has been banished from the Capitol,
and other reformatory measures adopted.
The advocates of whiskey appear to hold on
to their old demoralizing habits and prac
tices with as tenacious a grasp as the slave
holders did upon their human chattels.
Whiskey and its attendant evils are a gwate
curse than slavery ever was. The natioi
expends hundreds of millions lor alcoholi
drinks, and some of the noblest and best
men are the sad victims of intemperance.
We should rejoice to hear that there was an
uprising of the people against the great evils
brought upon the nation by intemperance.

Rev. John Macdougall, of Florence : "In

Samoa.
Our readers willremember that some month* sinoe,
there was considerable talk in newspapers about the
offer made by the native,authorities of the Navigator
Islands to cede the sovereignty of the group to the
United States, and that Commander Meade of the
JVarragantell had made a treaty, whereby a harbor
(Tutuila) Into been secured as a naval depot and
coaling stiitia*. We have been permitted to make
the following interesting extracts from a letter recently received in this city from one of the English
Wesleyan missionaries stationed in Samoa :
"The natives of this group are still continuing
their strife. The war is carried on in a very desultory manner. They profess now to be waiting the
arrival of a definite reply from America with respect
to the proposed annexation. You may perhaps like
to know the views of our mission on this subject. I
think I may state them generally in a few word*.
There is such a lack of authority in any of the
chiefs, so many rival interests which are constantly
giving rise to quarrels, and so much jealousy lest one
should become greater than tbe other, that we are
hopeless of seeing a settled form of government if
the Samoans are left to themselves. The natives also
feel this, and the better part of them have long
wished cither England or America to come and help
them. The last war hag made the desire for foreign
help stronger than before. Consequently the protectorate of America, or tbe annexation of tbe Islands,
if tbe U. 8. Government does not leave them to the
tender mercies of speculators bat takes a paternal
interest in the welfare of the people, will be welcomed
by nearly all.
We shall welcome the establishment of a government in the Islands by the United States which will
do justice to the natives, if such be the intention of
the promoters of annexation. We sincerely hope that
the Island* will not be left in the bands of a private
and irresponsible company, but anything determined
on and carried out by the U. S. -Government will
"
"
secure our hearty
support.
" The Romish priests are doing all they can to stir
up a spirit of resistance. We, on the other hand,
advise tbe people to wait quietly for the decision of
the United States; and, should tbe annexation be
completed, to go heartily into the movement an.
secure for themselves peace and quietness and such
institutions as shall help them to advance in all that
is good.
An immense quantity of land ha* been sold to
the Polynesian Land Co.,' and to other* in the
Islands. Many of the sales have been made by individuals who had no right whatever to tbe land, and
a great deal ha* been sold two or three times by different purchaser*. There will be land disputes in
abundance to settle, either by justice or by might, as
soon a* the annexation ia completed; and if America
rejects* the offer, or leave* them in the hands of a
private company, there is no knowing what may be
the next. The native war ha* been kept on much
longer than it would have lasted through the instigation of foreign settlers, who have purchased land of
one war party which they pretend to have obtained
by right of conquest, bat which they cannot hold."

MARCH 1, 1873.
“Nuhou.”—“ The Hawaiian Times.”
This is the name of a Semi-weekly sheet,
which made its appearance in Honolulu, on
the 25th ult.,edited and published by W. M.
Gibson, Esq., but printed at theAdvertiser office. The first number would indicate that
the editor has some pretty positive ideas
about various subjects relating to the islands,
but as yet he hardly knows whether it is best
to divulge them or not. We opine, as the
paper progresses, this reserve will wear ofl",
and we shall learn, in a few weeks, what the
editor thinks about immigration, annexation,
and various other subjects. We shall expect
the nimble and facile pen of the editor will
jot down many suggestive thoughts in a most
agreeable style. We shall confidently expect to have a most readable sheet. The
editor will never give utterance to the lamentations, " no news," " how shall we fill our
columns?" etc. Times may be dull, but we
shall look to the Semi-weekly for a live paper. Any man who could sit down fortytwo consecutive days," and beguile the weary
hours of a long sea-voyage, from the* East
Indies to America, in rehearsing the story of
his rambles to his fellow-passengers, has
some good traits for an editor, in a part of
the world where we get, atmost, only a semimonthly mail from the great outside world.

United States a desire to become better acqnainted with the condition of our Islands.

of the numerous correspondents of newspapers, visiting our islands, will furnish reliable information upon all the points suggested. We think in this way they might subserve the interests of the reading public far
more usefully and satisfactorily than by writing such nonsense, absurdity and foolishness
as appear, from time to time, in some of the
San Francisco papers, about the islands, and
the people residing here. If persons desire
information about the material and commercial interests of our islands, we would suggest that they subscribe for one or both of
our Honolulu weekly papers; if they desire
historical information send to H. M. Whitney
for a copy of Jarves' History; if they desire
missionary and religious intelligence, read
over files of the Missionary Herald, Dr. Anderson's book, or the Feiend. We should be
glad to receive remittances for subscription
to The Friend, in two-cent D. S. postage
stamps, 82.50 per annum, including postage.

The above title page indicates the characof the little volume which we received by

this volume of 113 pages, endeavors to sketch

the grace of God upon tbe human heart, as
do those examples which are recorded in the
Old and New Testament Scriptures. Without additional introductory remarks, we shall
re-print, entire, the first chapter of this little
book, because therein is unfolded the nature
of the important change effected in the young
man's life, by the reading of the Bible. We
would merely add, that he died in the city of
New York, March 23d, 1867, at the age of
forty-nine. The period of his Missionary
labors was just eleven years, from his conversion at sea, in 1556, on board the U. S. S.
Vincennes, shortly after leaving the harbor
of Honolulu, until the date of his death, in
1887.

John Byrne, was born in Killarney, near
Ihe lakes of Killarney, in the south of Ireland, in 1818. His parents were Edward
Byrne, of Scotch descent,—a man of commanding appearance, for several years
church-warden of the parish, superintendent
ofthe county prison, and janitor of the court,
—and Ann O'Sullivan Byrne, said to have
been a distant relation to Daniel O'Connell.
Their eleven children, of whom John was
the youngest, were religiously brought up in
the faith of the Church ol England, and their
family piety was much like that described by
the poet Burns, in his Cotter's Saturday
"
Night,"—the Saturday preparation leaving
no secular cares to interfere with the sacred
duties of the Lord's day.

As John grew up he became a favorite with
soldiers stationed at Killarney, who were
sometimes at his father's house.
The music, songs, parades, and apparent
joyousness of a soldier's life were very captivating to a boy of his temperament.
His father endeavored earnestly to discourage these inclinations, but John persisted,
and at last ran from home, made his way to
Dublin, and enlisted in the army. His father
bought him offand brought him home, where
he remained for a time, assisting his father
in the prison accounts, and was commended
for their neatness and accuracy. But his desire for military life was incurable. He ran
again
from home the second time, and was
bought off, and at last a third time, when he
was left to the bent of his disposition, and
the protecting care of Providence. He never
saw his parents after this. His mother's funeral, and his father's, a few years later, were
largely attended; even Roman Catholic families sending their carriages, according to the
of the country, as a mark of respect,
d the poor mourning the loss of sympathizt friends and benefactors.

out from Rio Janeiro we were
" Four days
overtaken
by a storm. The waves rose mountain high, the thunders rolled, and the lightnings played. In the twinkling of an eye
our mizzen-mast went by the board, and
shortly afterwards our main-mast. The signal gun proclaimed distress. Terror was in
every countenance. But these things did not
trouble me; my past sins rushed up before
me. God's gracious Spirit resisted—His
long-suffering provoked—well; I'm damned
forever, and justly too. The Lord called and
I would not obey. My sainted father's last
prayer came up to my view, and I saw his
raised hands praying, even in death, for his
wandering child. I cried to God for Jesus'
sake to save me. We were delivered from
death."
After this—bodily affliction. " I was
seized with inflammatory rheumatism which
deprived me of the use of my hands and my
feet, and so racked my whole body with pain
that I often wept as I lay on the deck. I continued in this state for ten months."
At Honolulu he had a very narrow escape,
having fallen, while intoxicated, over a spare
mast near the gangway of the ship. "I
would certainly have been killed had not one
of the men seized hold of me. My poor father's last prayer for me came more forcibly to
my mind than ever, and as 1 leaned over the
side of the ship, I wept where none could see
me but He who despisath not the tears of the
contrite."
At the Sandwich Islands Rev. Mr. Damon
came on board. " 1 asked him for a Testament. The more I read the more I felt condemned. I roamed about the deck. I could
not sit nor remain five minutes in one place.
1 made my case known to a very moral young
man on board. He replied, 'you must not
give way so. Pray a little in the morning
and at night; so come, John, cheer up, and
help us sing Poor Dog Tray.' O.said I, shipmate, Poor Dog Tray can't give me any comfort now; the arrows of the Almighty are
fast within me, and unless He restores my
soul nothing else can."
But after the fere a still small voice. " I
read the third chapter of John, 16th verse:
so loved the world the He gave His
• Godbegotten
Son, that whosoever believeth
only
in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Does that include me ? Yes, I
thought whosoever means me. I will venture on this love. I went by the main-mast,
in the middle watch of the night, and on my
knees I earnestly pleaded "the promises of
God. 1 found pardon and grace. What joy
filled my soul. I leaned over the anchor at
the ship's side,and having got a little hymnbook from one of the crew, I sang to myself
those beautiful lines—
"My Cod la reconciled.
His iwrdunißg voise I
hear.
He owns me for a child;
1 will no longer fear."
From that hour his path was upward His
sincerity was at once severely tested. He was
greatly abused, by wicked shipmates, with
derisive epithets and bodily injuries. Wherever I went I met with mockery and" scorn.
One night my hammock was cut down and I
fell across a large chest."
One evening while on watch, he overheard
the following: "Itisof no use to bother
John Byrne any more. My father was a
Christian, and John has got the genuine
thing, and you can't drive it out of him."
After that, persecution ceased. They listened to his appeals. " A young man, the
son of a praying mother, came to me four
days after and said he felt himself to be a
wretched sinner. Soon we were in prayer
together, and after some days of sorrow and
anguish, the Lord removed the burden from
his soul. I never saw so happy a young man.
Never shall I forget that night when, under
the bow of the launch, we knelt together and
gave ourselves away to Him that loved us."
He met this young man a few years afterwards in Great Britain, then a student for
the ministry.
Four other' cases of apparent conversion
occurred on the voyage through his efforts.
On reaching New York he took lodgings at
the Sailors' Home in Cherry street, and there
talked and prayed with sailors every day in
his own room. Blessed be God, He blessed
" He makes up his jewels,
me there. When
many a dear sailor will look back with delight to that little room."
This was about ten months from his conversion, in March, 1856.
Surely his father's prayer had been wondrously answered. "God's own right hand,
and His holy arm, had gotten Himself the
Victory."
Why Did Stanley Seek for Dr. Living-
stone?
The question has often been asked why
Mr, Bennett should have sent Stanley to
search for Dr. Livingstone? In conversation
with an English gentlemen, a few days since,
he informed us that the elder Bennett, now
dead, was a school-mate of Dr. Livingstone,
in their youthful days, in Scotland. This
fact we do not remember to have seen stated
in any English or American newspaper. This
gentleman, who has published a newspaper
in New Zealand, is quite confident of the
truthfulness of his statement, for he asserts

A Wonderful Movement in Bible Study.

the following paragraphs from (ho Christian
Union of January Bth :
" When the National Sunday School Convention assembled at Indianapolis in April
last, the public pressure on it was strong for
a completer and more systematic series of
Bible lessons, on which the whole country
could unite. After full discussion the proposed action was decided on by a vote of ten
to one, and a committee of five ministers and
live laymen was selected to arrange a schedule of lessons with a view to a seven years'
course of study. That committee included
such ministers as Key. Drs. J. H. Vincent,
John Hall, Warren Randolph, Richard Newton and A. H. Chapin, with laymen to match.
Canadian brethren, who were at the Indianapolis Convention, asked that their Dominion
might be included in the plan,and two members from Canada were added to the Lesson

students in the Sandwich Islands. The London Sunday School Union had already arranged another plan for 1873 when this
schedule was presented; but that Society,
with its schools, proposes to join in the great
movement with the opening of 1574.
And now, as the year 1873 begins its
course, more persons are week by week engaged in the study of the same Bible passage
than ever before since the world began. And
more helps are available for such study than
ever before. The union committee which
selected the lessons furnish no comments on
them. They merely name the Bible passages for common study. But the several
denominations multiply notes and comments
on these passages, and undenominational
notes are quite as abundant. Some of the
best minds in the Church are devoted to the
elucidation, enforcement and illustration of
these lessons for the current year."

Tribune.”—This is the title
of a neat weekly paper, published in California, by Thomas McGeojge, Esq., formerly a
printer in Honolulu.
“Calistoga
�An Appeal from the Y. M. C. A. of Boston
to the People of Honolulu.
By the last mail we received a communication from G. D. Oilman, Esq., who will be
remembered by all the older foreign residents
in Honolulu. It is in behalf of the Y. M. C.
A.of Boston, to enable that association to
pay off a debt on their institution. The great
fire has crippled the benevolent of that city
of charities. We copy as follows i
" You will doubtless see in our Boston papers some account of the new enterprise of
the Boston Y. M. C. Association, to pay off
the debt on their Home.
"It has occurred to me that your people,
who are always so generous in assisting
every worthy object, might, on a proper representation, be induced to contribute something to the ' Bazar.' Anything that would
represent Island life would be valuable. I
know that 'curiosities' are scarcer with you
than with us; still, as I remember Honolulu,
there might be gotten up a collection of calabashes, kapa, mats, calabash-net, 'inamaka'
or carrying-stick, bunch of native twine for
thatching, fish-line, native women's ornaments, ' ukeke,' the wooden bow, the noseflute, &c„ &c„ in fact anything that would
attract attention. A box of corals would sell
well, if good specimens.
" It seems to me that this is an object far
above the ' French Fair,' at which the ' Sandwich Islands' table was quite a feature. I
have offered my time lor it, and would like
to have a helping-hand from old friends at
the Islands whose heart's are interested in
the great Master's work."
We would give notice that a box will be
open at the office of S. B. Dole, Esq., who
will be responsible for all articles forwarded,
and see that they are duly sent forward to
Boston.
Visit of the King to Hilo.—One of our
Hilo correspondents thus writes us respecting
the visit of the King to Hilo : " The King is
here. He received the natives yesterday, and
it was truly delightful to witness the affability which he showed them, as they came in
rotation to shake his hand. It is quite apparent that they love him. He is very simple
and dignified in his manner. The foreigners
are all greatly pleased with him. He attended church twice on the Sabbath. In the
morning he attended service in Mr. Coan's
church, and in (he evening the foreign
church."
James E. Chase, recently from Kohala, Hawaii, and formerly a seaman, may
hear something to his welfare by calling upon
the Chaplain.
We would acknowledge the “Second
Annual Keport of the Samoan Medical Mission," under the care of (J. A. Turner, M. D.,

Bishop Staley on Our Situation.—The
late Bishop of Honolulu gives some interesting information as to the succession lo the
kingdom of the Sandwich Islands, vacant by
the death of the last of the Kamehamehas:
" The difficulty," the Bishop thinks, " will
be for the Assembly to find a native ruler
who may, like the Kamehamehas, cause the
Monarchy to be respected alike by foreigner
and Hawaiian, and who may be viewed, not
as the nominee of a party, but of the little
nation as a whole (the present population is
only 53,000). Should this difficulty prove
insurmountable, the Assembly may still proclaim the Hawaiian Independent Republic,
and choose some intelligent white citizen as
President. But it should be borne in mind
that even now the American missionary exercises overwhelming social, if not political,
influence in his particular district, and the
sixty members of the Legislative Assembly,
or at least a majority of them, may, when
they meet on the Bth of January, find themselves pledged in favor of a reversion to the
democratic regime of 1852, with annexation
to the United States, whence they have
mainly drawn their trade, their civilization,
and their Christianity."—English paper.
“Japj Oaye.”—(or the word Carrier.)
This is the name of a neatly printed monthly sheet, in the language of the Dacotah In'
dians. It is published under the auspices of
the Presbyterian and Congregational Missionaries. We are glad to learn, from a part
of the sheet, printed in English, that the
Mission is prospering. The venerable Missionary, Rev. Mr. Riggs (author of the Grammar and Dictionary, published by the Smithsonian Institute), is still alive. Such men
are an honor to the church, to science and
the world.

sublime truths taught.
In such an one all Athens used to assemble, and sit through sun and rain, so engrossed in listening to the teachings of the chorus,
that they were unmoved by any external
matters, even news of disaster and defeat to
their armies.
I have mentioned the chorus. This formed tbe principal part of the actors in the ear-
God and the angels, the middle the home nf
man, and the lower symbolizing the yawning
gulf of hell.
The subjects of the plays are taken from
the Bible, and all the prominent tales, such
as the creation, the deluge, the offering of
Isaac, are brought as vividly as possible before the people, and thus the public mind is
impressed. Lest the audience should tire of
the actions ol God and men, Satan and his angels are brought upon the stage ; and he is not
the Satan of Milton, beautiful in his mighty
wickedness, but the genuine devil of our
childhood's imagination, with his two horns
and his toil, looking the very fiend.
How, some may ask, could man be influenced by such plays as these? You must
remember that society was not then as now.
Men were reduced to a state of servitude.
They could not be influenced by feelings of
patriotism, for they had no country to love ;
nor could family ties be aroused, for they
could not call their wives and their children
their own. Ignorance reigned, and it was
the credulity of uncultivated minds that the
mysteries administered to ; and the pomp and
dazzling show of the displays were well fitted
to work upon such an audience. The church
found these a source of great revenue, and
others were led to exhibit plays of a nature
not strictly religious. Hence arose the Moralities, and Virtue, Justice, Purity, &c, supplied the place of religious characters. But
Satan was too valuable an assistant to be removed. These plays were of a comic nature,
the plot turning upon some ludicrous scene
fitted to excite merriment in the minds of the
rustic assemblages.
They were performed by dramatic authors
who formed a stock company and journeyed
about, acting in the houses of the nobility or
on stages hastily erected in the yards of inns.
Sometimes they exhibited in one of the many
buildings used for theatrical displays in London. These were of the poorest description,
only the stage being covered : and the scenery
was of the coarsest kind, consisting ofroughly
painted pieces of canyas, so hung as to suggest a forest, a street, or a house.
A placard told where the scene occurred ;
a table with bottles and glasses bespoke an
inn ; a scaffold in the rear suggested tbe wall
of a city; and like rude means were employed
constantly.
Awkward as seem these appurtenances to
us, they were in keeping with the times.
The people did not notice that an ancient
senator wore a watch, or carried a modern
sword, for they were too much engrossed in
watching the development of the play.
Little attention was paid by the English
authors of that day to the unities of time,
place and action, so insisted on by Comeille
and the French authors.
Such was the English stage when that archurch the instrument, and the cause,—that

Death of Rev. Dr. Gathrie.—Much
space in the late papers is devoted to the
character and death of this Divine so wellknown throughout the Christian world. The
Queen of England and herdaug hterin Germany were among the sympathizing friends, who
sent words of kind solicitude, during his illness. His Gospel in Ezekiel," on its first

Death of Bishop Mcllvaine of Ohio.—
The American papers report the death of
this distinguished American Divine, who has
for so many years, occupied a prominent
position in the Episcopal Church, and was
much esteemed among Christians of other
denominations. He was &t one time Chaplain at West Point, and after two years'
service was removed or resigned. It has
been reported that his resignation was occasioned by the fact that his labors were not
approved of at Washington, in as much as
several cadets turned their attention to the
Christian ministry instead of a position in
the Army. Among the number was Bishop
Polk, who subsequently became a General in
the Confederate Army,and was killed in Georgia. Bishop Mcllvaine's death occurred at
Florence, in Italy. On his death bed the
following hymns were highly prized by the
dying Bishop: " Just as I am," " Rock of
Ages," and " Jesus, Lover of my soul,"

The interesting circumstances of the landing of Ihe first press in the Gilbert Islands in
November 1863, and the providential providing of a ship-wrecked printer who had sailed
six hundred miles in an open boat to reach
that group will long be remembered by the
mission there.
While we were in the United States, in
1866, Matthew, John nnd Ephesians were
reprintedd at the Bible House in New
York in an edition of 1,000 copies and
formed a part of the cargo of the Morning
Star No. 2, around Cape Horn. For the
purpose of confirming my health I continued
in command ol the vessel fourteen months,
and did not resume literary work for the
Gilbert Islands, until 1868,and this was the
revising and enlarging our hymn-book. In
June of 1868, we printed extracts from the
gospel of Luke, which we took with us that
same year to the Gilbert Islands.
In January 19,1869, after our return from
a missionary visit to our group, I entered
upon the revision of the first three quarters
of the Testament. Acts was printed at the
Government press. Next followed Mark,
printed by Mr. Black, in Rhodes' building.

Rev. J. F. Pogue, Delegate ofthe*Board, in
July 8, 1869, in the Morning Star, to the
Gilbert Islands, as our own health did not
permit of a visit that year.
Luke was printed in October 1869 by Mr.
Whitney, and was sent to the Gilbert Islands
by the Annie Porter, about the first of
March, 1870. Early in that year Romans
was revised. It was printed in April, and
taken with us to the Gilbert Islands on board
the U. S. S. Jamestown, Capt. Truxtun.,
These four books were revised with the aid
of John Kanimako, one of the early converts
on Apaiang, now gone to his rest. We returned to Honolulu on the schooner Annie
in October 1870,and on November 9,1 commenced with the aid of Joseph Ekeuea to
revise the translation of Ist and 2nd Corinthians, Galatians, Matthew, John and Ephesians. In June 1871, these had been printed,
and five hundred copies were bound with
previous portions, and thus we had the first

"The Rescue."—We are glad to add to
the list of our exchanges this paper, published in Sacramento, and the "organ" of the
Good Templar Lodges of California. It is
sn excellent paper, and among its excellen-
cies, it has a most correct and trustworthy
correspondent in Engjand, over the signature
•of " Aldwyne." We never fail to read his
letters. The Good T-wtpplar Lodges of California support an Gaffon Asylum at Vallejo.
It was our privilege to be present at the laying of the corner stone in April, 1869. We
rejoice that our old friend, Capt. Wood, formerly commanding clipper ship Orae/e, still
labors most successfully in the Temperance
Cause in California. The good ship Temperance will keep steadily on her course
with such a man at the helm.

�Pure religion and undcfllcd before God, the Father, is this:
To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self umpottrd from the world.
Edited by a Committee of the Y.M.C.A.
The annual meeting of the association
was held on Friday evening, April 18th,
at the house of Mr. P., C. Jones, Jr.
After general business had been transacted, the usual annual reports were made
and permission was given for their publication in suitable form in these columns.
The retiring officers were Mr. T. K.
Walker, President; Mr. S. B. Dole, VicePresident; Mr. S. M. Damon, Treasurer;
nnd Mr. W. W. Hall, Secretary. The
President and Treasurer were re-appointed
tor the ensuing year; Mr. P. C. Jones, Jr.,
was elected Vice-President, nnd Mr. Charles
M. Cooke, Secretary.
By the kind invitation of their good host
and hostess, (the former of whom was at
the time absent from the islands,) a numerous company was entertained at supper
after the close of the meeting.

an attendance varying from twelve to
twenty scholars. A number of copies of;
the Gospels have been obtained by Mr. J. B.
Athcrton for the use of this school, the
translation being into the dialect spoken by
most Chinamen here; and correspondence
is being held with a view to ascertaining
whether other Chinese books can be obtained
in furtherance of the objects of the school.
The management of the school is vested in
a committee, of which Mr. S. B. Dole is
chairman.
A literary entertainment was given on
June 6th, when Mr. George Pauncefort read
from Dickens, Biid a very tasteful musical
programme was pro«Jfed by the kindness of
a fair pianist. Beyond this, the Committee
on Entertainments has considered that no
suitable opportunity has occurred for action
on their part. The committee, which can
act without recourse to regular meetings of
the association, consists of His Ex. A. F.
Judd, Mr. S. B. Dole, and the Mr. T. R.
During the past year, the association has
held nine regular meetings ■ no quorum was
lound in the months of August and September, and in January it was decided by
agreement among the members that no
meeting should be held, local attention
being then very much occupied by political
affairs.
Due notice having been given at the previous meeting, it was proposed and reseolved
in December that the last clause of Article
6 of the Constitution should read as follows : Five of the members of the asso"
ciation shall constitute a quorum."
A number of essays have been read before the association during the year; in
May Mr. S. B. Dole presented a paper on
the question, How far is character the
"
result of circumstances;" in June, Mr. VV.
W. Hall suggested "Considerations on Sabbath observance in Honolulu"; in December,
Mr. P. C. Jones, Jr., addressed to the meeting a paper on Opium"; and in February
"
Mr, W\ H. Chickering reviewed the history
and nature of the Drama." Several of
"
these essays have been printed in that portion of the JFYiend which is devoted to the
association.
The Reading Room has been much frequented by sailors, as well as by landsmen,
especially during the visit of men-of-war to
Honolulu. About thirty periodicals are
regularly placed upon the table.
The Reading Room is under the direction of a committee, of which Mr. C. J.
Lyons is chairman.

variously in minor doctrined opinion, but agreed as to the great faith. For
four years we have been thus allied; and,
though at our earlier meetings some diffidence may have been felt as to the feasibility
of retaining our unitedness without more
minute personal agreement in shades of
opinion,.we find ourselves more and more
satisfied as to the fact that with one common Christian object we may work together
harmoniously.
The objects kept in view by this associaciation have been those laid down in the
preamble of our constitution, namely, " the
religious, moral and social improvement of
ourselves and others."
Pilrsuing this purpose, we have endeavored not to encroach upon the fields of usefulness already occupied by churches, other
benevolent societies and individuals, but simbeen needed,

THE FRIEND.
JUNE 2, 1813.
Silver Wedding.—There was a very
pleasant gathering on the evening of May
29th, of friends and neighbors, at the residence of Rev. J. P. Pogue, to congratulate
this gentleman and his wife, on the 25th anniversary of their marriage.
We appreciate the contribution to our
columns from the portfolio of the poet,
Stoddard, and if hereafter in looking over
materials on hand, he finds additional poetical effusions they will always find a place
in our columns.
The 21st anniversary of the Stranger's Friend
Society waa hold on Friday last, at the residence of
the President of the Society, Mrs. S. C. Damon, at
whioh tho reports of the Secretary and Treasurer
were presented, and other business transacted. The
receipts for the year past were 8468, and the expenditures $429. Tho Secretary reported that fifteen
persons or families had received relief, mostly strangers in needy circumstances, who have no claim on
tbe American, English, or German benevolent societies. In the evening His Majesty the King honored
the ladies of the Society with his presence, thns evincing an interest in the objects for whioh it was instituted.— Gazette, May 22.
The Stranger's Friend Society has now
attained its " majority," having been organized in 1852. During the 21 years of its
existence, its receipts have been $11,293.37;
expenditures from 1552 to 1873, 18,750.22;

now acknowledged position in the van of tinworld's workers has proven to us all that if
any woman feels the call God sent to prca,.li to
iiicji and women the
" unsearchable riches "'
of Christ, no one has henceforth the power
to prevent the fullest, freest, most public
utterance of the same.
Her early home was in one of the quiet
country towns of Vermont, if we mistake not,
from which she early went out on the mission tn which she has devoted her life. She
lias labored with success in England, during
which time she wns herself strengthened for
the work which lay before her in America.
In the Eastern cities crowded bouses have
greeted the quiet Quakeress wherever she
has spoken. Such a tremendous furore as
this little woman created, quite against her
will, when she first appeared tn the religious
circles of New York and Brooklyn ! Poor
Dr. Cuyler was arraigned before a very stern
synod to answer " Guilty or not guilty," to
the terrible charge of having allowed a
woman to speak to his people lovingly, tenderly as only a woman can speak of the
Divine Love and Tenderness. All this might
undoubtedly have been very canonical, but
canons and Snint Paul even were forced to
yield to a higher right and justice. Then
again the good Baptists throughout the country were horrified because one of their number, Mr. Pentecost, of Brooklyn, was brave
and true enough to do what he thought was
right in immersing a Quakeress. The columns of the religious papers blazed with
notices of Miss Smiley and the unfortunate
Mr. Pentecost. Not a whit disturbed by
this, however, she has gone here and there
winning the hearts of the people, gaining
power.
We were rejoiced to hear that she was
coming to Boston. Every one went to hear
Miss Smiley and every one came away with
something to remember and ponder. Night
after night she spoke, now in Boston, now
in the suburbs, always thrilling' her listeners
by the wealth and power of her words.
There were prayer-meetings and bible-classes
where she spoke. There was ever the same
eager, expectant throng. We heard her at
one of her evening discourses in a beautiful,
new church on Columbus Avenue. After
the opening exercises which were conducted
by the pastor and a hymn in which all the
people joined, Miss Smiley came forward.
You felt the magnetism of her power before
she spoke as she stood before you, simply
dressed, seemingly unconscious of all else
but her grand theme, and of those who were
waiting for its unfolding. Her face and eyes
had in them the promise of the words which
were to come, earnest, pleading, tearful even,
yet full of the glory which the vision of
�THE FRIEND, JIIS E,
hands folded before her, and spoke in low
tones, but with such clear flutc-liku distinctness that not a word was lost, no listener was
forgotten.
It was not a sermon with text ffnd beads
to which we listened, but a grand summing
up in a proud, triumphant way of the struggle and victory of the Christian as portrayed
in the seventh and eighth chapters ofRoman*.
It was a call to all who knew of Christ to be
no longer bond but free; to enter into a
higher, nobler life, to join in the paean of
Christian conquest. There was life and hope
for all; none need despair. The infinite
love and rest awaited them. Would they
take this Saviour now risen, crowned, glorified?
Through simple wording and qunint illustration with a pathos in voice and coloring
which bespoke the womanly Christian heart
beneath, came the lesson of comfort and
cheer. Miss Smiley's especial power lies in
the force and vividness of her illustrations
by means of which she flashes the wealth of
her meaning on you in a few powerful pictures. Advance in the Christian life with a
look back to the world was pictured from its
analogy to the Scottish fishermen, who wearily rowed all night with anchor still out. The
gray of the morning found them no nearer

JUNK,
18.3.
in Cherry street gave me an opportunity of
witnessing the order and despatch with which
the business of shipping and discharging
men is conducted, the routine of which, for
want of space, I will not attempt now to describe.
This buildinpr, as I entered, was filled with
sailors. A perfect stream of men was ascending and descending the stairways leading from the offices of the Commissioner,
which occupy the whole of the upper story
of the Exchange. The rooms above aujktelow were crowded. In the readingCHi
many were engaged reading the
some forty of which were on file, playing
chess, drafts and dominoes, reading the magazines on the tables and the volumes in the
library; others were spinning yarns and
making themselves generally at home ; while
some were amusing themselves with ten pins
in the bowling alley below.
In the shipping office above, the crowds
were surging to and fro, outward-bounders
and liomcward-bouudcrs jostling each other
with easy freedom, each apparently content and pleasingly unenvious of their oppositely conditioned circumstances. 1 learned from the janitor that the crowds of
seamen frequenting the Exchange averaged
about 800 a day, and he stated further that
of all that large number of sailor visitors—to
their credit be it spoken—he had found it
necessary to expel but two men in six months
on account of intemperance and disorder.
Can the. Corn or Stock Exchange say more
than this? More than 5,000 seamen have
voluntarily registered their names in the book
kept for that purpose in the reading room.
The number shipped, according to the Commissioner's report, in less than six months,
was 10,541,and the number discharged 7,785.
The sum of $384,241.82 have, in that time,
been paid into the hands of the seamen themselves, much of which has found its way into
the Savings Bank on the premises. Eight
hundred and forty-seven dollars and fifty-six
cents, due to deceased seamen's families,
have been collected and paid into court,
where it may be claimed by the legal heirs.
Are these not evidences of the practical and
beneficent workings of this protecting law ?
whom he has selected. Making his own engagements in person, he sees the men with
whom ho is to sail, and on whom he is to
depend for the safety of his life, his vessel
and his cargo during the voyage.
The captain and officers are further protected. In all cases of disobedience or of
mutinous conduct on the part of the men, in
every instance in which a man shipping as
an able seaman, or in any capacity, is found
incompetent to perform the duties for which
he shipped, the Commissioner is empowered
to punish by deduction of wages, or, in some
cases, by entire forfeiture.
If the case cannot be settled by him, it
goes over to the Circuit Court as a civil case.
But when a settlement of the case is procured before the Commissioner—both parties
consenting to his conduct of the case—from
his decision there is no appeal. Hence, here,
too, litigution and expense are avoided. The
Commissioner states in his report to the
Circuit Court, that no small part of tho
Commissioner's time is spent in settling matters at issue between seamen and shipmasters and officers; this work, which is done
without fees, seems to give general satisfaction, and certainly has the effect of correcting many wrongs, and of avoiding many vexatious law fuits." The law, therefore, is for
the mutual benefit of both the officers and
the crew, and if not interfered with, will
work incalculable good to all the parties concerned, ond relieve a life of sea service from
many of its vexatious and trying discomforts,
by securing fair play on both sides.
As an example of the despatch with
business is conducted, it may be slated that
ordinarily a ship going a good voyage can
be supplied with a crew of thirty men, anil
all of them put on board, wiih their dunnage, and their advance paid, within two
hours from the time of applicsejbi being
made, Within a few days, a crew was
shipped for a vessel and put on board, ready
for sea, in half an hour from the time the
Commissioner was notified of her need.
In one instance a ship, with a notoriously
bad name, applied for a crew. Thirty-seven
men were shipped and put on board sober,
of which number, notwithstanding the reputation of the ship, only one backed out.
As an illustratioa of the moral effect of
this law, I am informed that of more than
12,000 seamen put on board by the Commissioner in seven months, not ten men have
been refused on account of drunkenness. To
those of us who remember the drunken
scenes of the sailing- day in former times,
this is an evidence of positive gain, aud yet
this is but an incidental effect of the law.
Let not the philanthropists pause iv their
labor of love. The cause is God's, and must
go forward in spite of chicanery and in spite
of opposition. A class of men, around whom
have clustered the promises of God, and
whose importance ami efficiency in the work
ol evangelizing the nations has been the
theme of prophecy and the hope of the
church for three thousand years is not, at
this late day, to be abandoned iv consequence
of the opposition of a few, to whom "gain is
godliness," and whose only hope of success
is based upon their hitherto ineffectual efforts
to arrest the onward march of benevolence
by clogging the chariot wheels of Divine
In an address delivered at the forty-fourth
anniversary of the American Seamen's
Friend Society-, in May last, Judge Benedict said, and said truly, "No one knows
the sailor unless he has been before the mast
himself, and lived in the forcastle."
dfrf one who answers to this description,
airaatrr) whom a life of many years in the
forcastle has given a practical knowledge of
the sailor, his trials and perils, his difficulties and discomforts, his advantages and disadvantages, both at sea and ashore, I would
say a word in behalf of my quondam companions—a word which very many of them,
could they but handle the pen as readily and
as skillfully as they can handle the marlinspike and the serving-mallet, would be glad
to say for themselves.
I desire, first, to give expression to the
gratitude which the American Seamen's
Friend Society has awakened among seamen by its benevolent and long continued
activity in their favor, and to tender their
grateful acknowledgements to those noble
and disinterested men to whom we are indebted for the passage through Congress of
(he United States Shipping Law.
In that instrument the nation has at last
assumed, practically, a guardianship over
those who have long been considered its
wards," but to whom its "tender mercies "
"hitherto
have won the aspect onry of cruel
neglect. I desire also, at the same time, to
say a word about the law itself.
I am moved to ask this favor for the reason that mistaken views, both of its intent

THE FRIEND.
JULY 1, 18T3.
“Good Reading in Dull Times.”
Under this ''heading," in the August
number of the Friend for 1872, we made
some remarks respecting Forster'sLife of C.
Dickens. A second volume of Dickens'
Life has just made its appearance, embracing the period from 1842 to 1852. The first
volume included the narrative of his firstvisit to America. Tbe second volume embraces sketches of his visits and residence in
Italy and Switzerland, and " three months in
Paris." During this period of his life he
was occupied in writing Martin Chuzzle"
witt," "Christmas Carol,". Dowbey and
Sore," and David Copperfield." The ad"
miring readers of those volumes will be delighted with the perusal of this volume inasmuch as it will exhibit the origin and
growth of those works of fiction in their
author's fertile brain. We regard this as the
main feature in Forster's life of Dickens.
In reading this life of Dickens, by John
Forster, we are continually reminded of
Boswcll's Life of Johnson. Macaulay describes Boswell as a sort of Parasite attaching himself to Johnson, and during a period
of twenty years, noting down every word
dropping from his great master's lips, and
gathering up every incident relating to the
great lexicographer and essayist. As a biographer Boswell was unequaled, but yet
was the veriest toady and snob. Says Macaulay, " Boswell was one of the smallest
men that ever lived, and be has beaten them
all." He is the prince of biographers, but
never would have been known to tame if he
had not attached himself to Johnson. We
think it so with Mr. Forster. He is another
Boswell, as nearly as one man could be to
another. Dickens is his idol. Before that
idol he lies prostrate. Perhaps it is a necessary feature of a successful biographer that
he should adore the man whose life he
describes. These volumes of Mr. Forster
are good reading for dull times," and every
"reader
ofDickens ought to be a reader of these
volumes, which will be found for sale at
Thrum's Bookstore.

ik ihe Pacific. A book of travel, adventure and faota in the Sandwich Islands By
William B. Bliss, New York : Sheldon & Co. 1878.
Paradise
Recently a copy of the new Illustrated
Daily—The Graphic— published in New
York, fell under our notice. It contained
portraits of a good dozen murderers now confined in the Tombs. On the principle Mr.
Bliss adopts in writing this book, we infer,
New York city must be a most fearfully unsafe place for a residence. The writer observes one fact and from that draws general
conclusions. In order to escape from that
orid " city of New York, and a Northern
"winter,
he sails away and finally drops anchor in Honolulu harbor. In his preface, to
apologize for the small size of his volume, he
remarks, but so is the country and so are
"
the people of which it treats, while it is really
larger than the importance of that country to
any possible future of commerce or civilization." This is quite too "bad, to take away
from the inhabitants any hope of future greatness and importance. We need not remind
the writer that a limited territory and sparse
population are not an insuperable obstacle to
fame and gTeatness. Greece and Palestine
are territorially small and comparatively
meagre in population, but for two or three
thousand years have called forth more books
than all the world beside. Our little pinhead kingdom, (epithet not original with Mr.
Bliss,) as Edward Everett was pleased to
style the Hawaiian Kingdom, may be small,
but for a half century, and more, it has managed to call forth many books and pamphlets, as appears from Mr. HunneweU's " Bibliography," and we opine this book pf Mr.
Bliss is not by any means the last which will
be written.
We had supposed that our islands were
geographically situated somewhat favorably
for the interests of commerce in this vast
ocean, but, according to our author, they
actually " lie remote from the track of all
commercial ships, except those carrying coals

The Wreck of the “Chacabuco.”
We have received from Alexander Balfour,
Esq., of Liverpool, a partner in the house of
Balfour, Williamson & Co., two circularprinted letters, relating to the sad wreck of
the C'hacabuco. These letters need no
words of explanation. Their contents indicate the deep and abiding interest which Mr.
Balfour feels for seamen in general, as well
as in behalf of the unfortunate crew of the
Chacabuco. Not only has Mr. B.s sympathy expressed itself in words, but the establishment of the Home for Apprentices,"
"
151 Duke street, Liverpool, is a standing
monument of his own interest, and that of
the firm to which he belongs, in behalf of
those " going down to the sea in ships," and
who are exposed to the fearful dangers of
the ocean :
Liverpool, 13th March, 1573.
As managing owners of the Chacabuco,
we have the extreme pain of informing you
of the loss of the vessel about 2 a.m. on Saturday the Ist inst., after having almost completed a very successful voyage to San Francisco and back, and when almost within sight
of home and friends. With the vessel twenty-four brave men and boys, including the
captain, went down; and the only survivors
are Mr. Arendrup the mate, Mr. Adamson,
one of the apprentices, and an Italian seaman. The event has given us so much distress that we have not felt able to write respecting it earlier, and we do so now with
sad feelings, when we reflect on the sorrow
the event has caused to so many hearts and
in so many households.
As a relative of one who was on board the
Cliacabuco,it may be satisfactory to you to
know that when she reached San Francisco
we received a letter from Capt. Ritchie, expressing the satisfaction he had with all on
board ; and stating that, notwithstanding the
great temptations offered to do so, he did not
believe any of his crew would desert the ship.
Before leaving that port four of the seamen
were beguiled away, but this was a very
small proportion of the crew to have lost;
and his having kept the crew so well shows
that there existed a feeling of duty on the
part of his men which the offer of higher
wages could not destroy.
The voyage home had been most prosperous and rapid, until getting to Great Orme's
Head, where the Chacabuco was run down.
This occurred through no fault of the Captain, officers or crew, but solely, aa we believe, through the most culpable negligence
of the steamer Torch, which neglected both
the lights and the warning cries of the crew
of the Chacabuco, and has thus caused the
loss of the ship and so many precious lives.
The boat of the tug-steamer Guiding Star
saved the three survivors, who were all good
swimmers; but Mr. Arendrup says :
It
seems a miracle any were saved, as the interval betwixt the time when the Chaoabuco
was struck and when she went down was so
short—scarcely three minutes. The boats
were ready, but there was no time to allow
"

of them being launched."

Captain Kitche took the greatest interest in
the welfare of his officers, apprentices and
men. Mr. Arendrup testifies there perhaps
was not another ship afloat where a better
spirit prevailed than in the Chacabuco and
this he attributes to the earnest desire Captain Kitche felt that they should all be partakers of the great salvation wrought out by
the Lord Jesus Christ. For this great end
he took much pains to impart Bible Truth to
all on board and he set them all an example
of a consistent Christian life.
We deplore his loss and we wish to give
this testimony to his worth and to the worth
of many who perished with him.

face and docile disposition had enlisted the
sympathies both of Mr. Williamson and myself before we could get a ship for him, and
we were so pleased when we could put him
under Captain .Ritche's care. Another of
the boys was a most amiable, attractive lad,

“Our Sailors-An Appeal.”
This is tht title of a new book which has
been published in London, by Mr.
muel Phmsoll, a young and active memr of parliament. The object of the book
to arouse public attention to the wretched
d unseaworthy condition of many of the
■reliant vessels sailing under the British
flag. Such as the following cases are mentioned : One ship-owner, having been refused a certificate by the surveyor, he loaded
the vessel and sent her off. Before the ship
had cleared from the coast, the sailors refused
duty and were lodged in prison. Another
crew was shipped, but eventually ship, cargo
and sailors all went to the bottom of the sea.
Mr. Plimsoll pledges to substantiate these
facts before a commission. He calls for a
commission to be appointed by Parliament.
There is of course a great commotionamong
ship-owners. The London Times, Feb. 12,
supports Mr. Plimsoll, and asserts, "There
are facts enough to prove that British seamen are drowned by the score, just for the
want of legislative supervision. Mr. Plimsoll has every right to enquire that the interests of sailors shall be as well cared for as
those of the miners and factory hands."
This is a subject to which public attention
ought to be called. Not long since it was
reported that an officer attached to one of the
steamers running on the Pacific, refused to
go to sea, because he did not consider the
vessel seaworthy, and another officer was
shipped. The consequence was the latter
was killed by the bursting of a steam pipe !
There is one other cause of complaint
which ought to be examined and removed—
we refer to intemperance on the part of masters and officers.
The late wreck of the
steamer Atlantic has aroused public, attention to this point. It should be a rule of all
insurance companies to refuse insurance on
any sea-going craft, commanded by a master
in ihe habitual use of intoxicating liquors.
The practice of allowing a " bar on steam"
ers, is something outrageously opposed to
the safety of ship, cargo and passengers !
In urging the adoption of an Act, in the
British Parliament, for the appointment of a
Commission to investigate this subject, Mr.
Plimsoll, employed the following language,
as reported in tbe London Record:
he referred to was that of
" The next case

and odd lives were lost every year by shipwreck. He did not think that a fourth of
this loss could be traced to well-found, wellloaded, well-manned ships. After going
through the technical details of the bill, he
went on to urge the necessity of this temporary legislation pending the inquiries of the
Commission. He begged, he entreated, he
implored the House to read the bill a second
time. If they could fancy that just outside
the House they saw a ship before them on
the rocks, and the waves beating upon it, he
believed there were many now present who,
just as Lord W. Hay leaped from Her Majesty's ship into the Tagus to save life, while
the tide was running 20 knots an hour,
would risk their lives in the effort to save
others. He hoped, therefore, the House
would now pass the second reading of this
bill, and pass it with acclamation." (Cheers.)
Arctic
Explorations.
The death of Captain Francis Hall, the
Arctic Navigator, the wonderful and almost
miraculous escape of a portion of his company, and the uncertainty attending the
present safety of the Polaris and her crew,
are subjects which again turn the attention
of the public to northern fields of discovery
and research. Notwithstanding the futality
which seems to have followed all attempts
to bring into the clear light of geographical
and scientific certainty, that fabled polar
land and sea, which for centuries has
been the fond dream of voyagers, there have
ever been those willing to endure peril and
suffering to accomplish this end. The exstarted out under Captain
Hall's command seemed to be peculiarly
hopeful and more than ever was it anticipated that some solution to the much vexed
problem of an Open Polar Sea would at last
be found. The enthusiasm and hopes however of three years ago seem to be more
than counterbalanced by the.dependency of
the present and the almost tragic ending of
the whole attempt.
Within a few weeks the survivors of the
expedition have arrived in New York, whose
story is worthy to be placed with those of
the most adventurous and skillful discoverers.
From Captain Tyson's report we glean the
following items: Captain Hall, who was
the animating spirit of the company, had
pressed forward with ardor, gaining new
hope constantly of winning fame and success.
In '71 he had reached latitude 82° 16.
After his return to the vessel from this expedition which had been on sledges, he was
taken suddenly ill and died on the Bth of
October, 1871. Notwithstanding their loss,
the remainder of the company were anxious
still to continue in their voynge of discovery.

indignation of the multitude of women and into lower latitudes, until in August '72, it
children w»o followed to pelt the hearse with was seen to be necessary to land the provisions and company oo the ice.
With this action commences one of the
thrillingfy interesting and marvellous
stories of adventure on record. While a
number of the men wore engaged in landing
various articles, the Polaris broke from her
fastenings and in the obscurity of the night
was lost to those eighteen persons now left
to fight their way back to life and home
through months of ocean-peril, and Arctic
cold. For six months did this brave little
company exist on their great-ice boat, living
in little snow huts, feeling each day the limits of their domain lessening, cherishing the
feeble hope of ultimate rescue. Every
means was adopted to sustain life, and of all
the company none died, not even the children. In April of this year they were
picked up by the steamship Tigress in latitude 53° 35' norih, longitude 55" west, and
were landed at Roberts Bay, New Foundland. Since then they have arrived in New
York ank have gone thence to Washington.
The fate of the Polaris is still shrouded
in doubt. The reports which the survivors
give in reference to Captain Buddington are
far from favorable to his reputation. It is to
be hoped that the suspicions now entertained
will be proved to be without foundation.
Sad as was the fate of the gallant leader of
this band of discoverers it will seem less sad
if found to be from some natural cause and
not at the cruel hands of one of his companions. Every effort will be taken by the
American government to discover the truth
of the gloomy reports of Captain Tyson and
his people. All eyes will be on the lookout
for the coming of the Polaris if ever again
she enters American waters.

so many of them patronize the Home, where
Mr. Dunscomb3 looks after them as faithfully
as he would provide for his own brother.

Progress of Protestantism in
Mexico.—
Very remarkable success has been obtained
by the Rev. H. C. Riley, the agent in the
city of Mexico of the American and Foreign
Christian Union. There arc at least sixty
organized congregations, with thirty-five persons in charge. In the city of Mexico several
prominent priests have been converted, and
are now preaching the doctrines of Protestant
Christianity. Aquas (now dead) was one of
the most earnest, talented and influential
priests in Mexico. Hence his renunciation
of Romanism created an intense excitement
among the Papists of that country. The
Archbishop excommunicated him, and, in return, Aquas wrote a lengthy letter, reviewing the doctrines and usages of the Romish
system. It is a very able production, and
has been published in the Christian World,

Christian Union. Palacios, another converted priest, is attracting multitudes by his evangelical preaching, and others now in the field

"Alaska Commercial Company" accord'

and sent him across to New England, where
he is now pursuing a. four years' school
course at their expense. The rising generation of Alutes will soon become more
familiar with Washington than Peter the
Great, and exchange Russian for American
history. ,
In 1869 Gen. George H. Thomas made
an official inspection of Alaska. He reported
that on St. Paul and St. George Islands,
the fur-bearing seals are seen in immense
numbers, which he estimated at from five to
fifteen millions each summer, lying in the
rookeries, and covering hundreds of acres.
He recommended that the hunting and killing of these animals should be regulated by
law, as the only way to prevent tbe destruction of the rookeries. Experience had taught
the Russians the necessity of such legal restrictions. From the lack of such regulations the seals have been utterly exterminated from many islands in the Southern
Ocean, where they were once abundant.
Accordingly, Congress, by the act of July
Ist, 1870, adopted substantially the Russian
system, on the 3d of August following, the
Alaska Company leased from the United
States St. Paul and St. Ceorge Islands.
The Company contracted to pay the United
States $55,008 per annum rental, and a
revenue tax of $2.62,} on each fur seal taken
and shipped from the islands.
Two United States officials are stationed
on each of these islands, to see that the Company complies with the conditions of the
lease, and to count the skins as they are
shipped to San Francisco, where they are
again counted by the Custom House officers.
The catch of 1872 amounted to 96,069 skins,
and the tax paid to the United States was
over $250,000 for that one year, which,
with the rental, amounts to over $307,000
as the revenue paid to the government.
Over $700,000 have already been paid into
the United States treasury by this Company
and the whole sum paid for Alaska will soon
be realized from this one source, more than
verifying the predictions of Secretary Seward as to the value of these Russian possessions. The interests of all concerned are
best promoted by putting these seal islands
in charge of a company, under heavy penal
bonds to comply with the regulations recommended by Gen. Thomas, and adopted by
Congress, and whose own interests requires
the careful preservation of the fisheries.
The Alaska Company have shown sagacity,
courage and enterprise, in opening and developing this new field of commerce. Their
lease embraces only these two small islands,
which are 350 miles from the mainland.
With this exception, the vast territory of
Alaska is all open to the fullest competition
in trade and business of every sort.
American Tourists.—Upwards of a hundred
and thirty thousand American tourists
passed through London last Summer, bent
on seeking pleasure only ; and already the
number who have arrived in the metropolis
on the same errand this year is nearly half
as large.—London Record, May 16.

Association, the Board of the said Association place before you its Tenth Annual Re-
port.
Events of great importance affecting the
Hawaiian nation have taken place during
the period under review. The Head of the
nation lias been removed ; the last of the
Katnehamchas sleeps with his fathers. His
Majesty Kamchnineha V'., died on the llih
of December, 1872. The highest chief of
ths nation, by the almost unanimous vote of
the people, has been elevated to ihe throne.
His Majesty Lunulilo reigns over a united
and confiding people.
Four missionaries, who for many years
consulted, prayed and toiled lor (he Hawaiian
people, have left ns to enter (be rest prepared
by the Master for His faithful ones. One i
Pioneer, who had spent 5!1 years of her life
in this work. Mrs. 11. P. Whitney, the
wife of Rev. S. Whitney, entered into rest
on the 26th of December, 1872. This Board
is her debtor in that she liequcathed to it the
sum of $300, as also her house at Waimea
to be held in trust as a parsonage for the
Church at Waimea, Kauai.
Another was of the company who followed
the pioneers of tho Mission, the Rev. A.
Bishop, who died on the 18th of December,
1872. Hehsd :,K-,„.,.,trK Vicars on,he

Hawaii.
He having performed the oflice of
well in that Church for many
years, anil having purchased to himself a
good degree and great boldness in the faith,
which is in Christ Jesus, was called lo the
pastoral office, the duties of which he performed with acceptance in the midst of hindrances and difficulties. The wife of the
Rev. J. D. Ahia has also died the past year.

pastors of the churches have exhibited great
devotedness to their work. While many of
tho churches over whom they wore placed
as overseers have not fulfilled their pledges
to them in providing temporal support, these
pastors for the most part have not become
discouraged and left their fields, nor have
they applied to tho Board for aid. One Association, however, has during the year applied for such aid. The Evangelical Association of Kauai, at its meeting in October,
1672, asked the Hawaiian Board to aid two
of its feeble churches to the amount of $,00
each in supporting their pastors. This request was cheerfully granted. One only,
however, of these churches, the Church of
Waimea, Kauai, has drawn the sum appropriated. The other, the Church of Anahola,
Kauai, not having a Pastor, did not apply for
its appropriation. The Hawaiian Board would
earnestly urge the churches of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association to fulfill the vows
made to their pastors, when they were called
to labor among them in word and doctrine.
The laborer is worthy of his hire. For a
Church to neglect to pay its Pastor what it
pledged to him is a fraud as much as it it to
neglect to pay any other honest debt. May
the fact that many of our churches have neglected this duty, and thus not fulfilled their
vows, be a reason why there are so few candidates for the ministerial office? and may
this also not be a reason why the Holy
Spirit has not been with the churches, as we
would desire f
Theological School.
At the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in June, 1872, this most
important subject was brought to your notice
by order of this Board. After stating reasons for founding s» Theological School for
Hawaiians at Honolulu, Oahu, the following
resolution was adopted " Therefore it is referred to the Hawaiian Board of the Association to seek a proper site for this school,
nnd to commence the school at as early a
dale as possible, not later than the oiul of
1872." In accordance with this action a
suitable place was obtained for the reasonable sum of $3,000. The former owner of
the place, the First Vice-President of the
Hoard, Dr. G. P. Judd, valued the premises
at 44,000, but he sold them to the Hawaiian
Board on condition that they be used for a
Theological School for Hawsiians, at the
sum stated above, thus donating to the
:
Theological School $1,000. The Hawaiian
Board also authorized its Corresponding
Secretary to endeavor to raise during the
year the sum of $5,000 for the use of the
Seminary, viz. $3,000 to pay for the premises, and $2,000 for repairs and other expenses in commencing the institution. For
this fund the following sums have been paid
into the Treasury of the Board :

Female Boarding Schools.
During the past year Boarding Schools
for females have been continued on each of
the larger islands of the group, with the exception of Hawaii. Incipient measures,
which it is hoped will prove successful, have
been taken to establish an institution for
female education on Hint large island.
The Female Boarding School nt Koloa,
Kauai, has been disbanded for the present,
not for want of pupils, but on account of inability, on account of feeble health to continue it. It is hoped, however, that this
school may soon be resuscitated. The
islands need nil the aid of this kind, by which
they can raise up mothers for tho nation.
The success of schools ot (his character in
years past should urge us to greater efforts in this second lo no other instrument
in elevating nnd saving the people.
The Principal of tho Kawaiahao Seminary
Miss L. Bingham, says in regard to this institution : The Kawaiahao Seminary completes its sixth year this July, 1873, having
had since the commencement one hundred
and three boarding pupils. Of these only
one had died. Ten have made a profession
of religion while connected with the school,
and nine were professors previous to their
entering the Seminary. One of the ten is
now under appointment of the Hawaiian
Board as missionary to the Marshall Islands.
Nineteen htve l*;en married, twelve of whom
have married whites or half-whites and
seven pure Hawaiians. Nine are the mothers of thirteen children. The averngo number of boarding pupils during the year has
been 42, but two or three have been taken
out for good reasons before examination.
The school has been greatly favored in socuring as nn assistant a lady from the
United States, of long experience as a teacher, and well qualified to train tho young.
Considerable proficiency has been made in
vocal and instrumental music, while due attention has been given as usual to domestic
work and sewing." Miss Lizzie Bingham
has been connected with the Seminary as in
years past.
Three teachers have been connected with
the Waialua Female Seminary. Miss M.
E. Green, the Principal of the institution reports " the number of pupils at present is
48. None have been expelled from school.
The health of the pupils has been uniformly
"
domestic work.
The family school of Mrs. Lyons and
daughter of Waimea, Hawaii, has been continued as in years past. This is a girls'
school. Those connected with it sre all Hawaiian girls, supported by their parents.
Newspapers.
The newspaper Kuokou, under the editorship of the Hon. H. M. Whitney, assisted by
J. U. Kawninui, Esq., has been continued
with a very large increase of paying subscribers. The weekly edition of the paper
now issued is 4,872,—tho largest subscription list of nny paper ever published on the
Islands. The fourth page of this widely circulated paper is under the control of the
Hawaiian Board, and for it tho Board is responsible. The Key. L. Lyons, nnd Rev. L.
Smith, U. D., have edited this page as iv
former years. This page cost the Hawaiian
Board $800 the past year. The second
of our papers, the Alrntln, has been discontinued. An edition of 2,671 has been printed
and sent to agents on the different Islands.
The very few agents, however, who have
paid for the paper has led to the impression
that it was not appreciated as it ought to be,
and tho loss being so great on the paper, say
$500 per annum, that the Hawaiian Board
ra*)ed to discontinue it at the close of the
Inst volume. The cost to the Hawaiian
Board for the seven years that the paper has
been in existence has not been less thanfrom
$300 to $500 per snnum. It is thought by
many, foreigners and natives, that the time
has come when a distinctive Religious Newspaper in the Hawaiian language, of the size
of the Kuokoa, should be issued weekly or
monthly. This is a subject which should
occupy the serious attention of the Association at this time.

Bibles.
The American Bible Society of New
York, whose debtors we are, are now printing for us in the Hawaiian language a new
edition, 1,000 copies of the Hawaiian Bible.
This work was commenced in 1872; we have
yet heard that it has been finished.
Key. E. W. Clark is superintending the
irk through the press. His aid in this
partmcnt of missionary labor is very valule, and the Hawaiian people are under
eat obligations to him.
No Bibles have been received from New
ork the past year. All our two-dollar
bles having been disposed of in the early
rt of the year we have not been able to fill
c orders received for this style of the book.
It is with sincere thanksgiving to the.
cad of the Church that we are nble to rert the translation of the whole New Testlent into the Gilbert Island dialect. This
the first complete New Testament thnt
s been translated into nny dialect of
icronesia. Rev. Hiram Bingham has
done this work, and it is believed hns
done it well. The people of the Gilbert
Islands and the Hawaiian Board are their
debtors. Parts of the New Testament in
this language, and also portions of the same
in the Marshall and Bonabe dialects have
been printed for the Hawaiian Board at Honolulu nei.
The following table prepared by Mr. W.
Chamberlain, exhibits the amount received
from sales of Bibles and Testaments and
other books from 1865 to May 1873. It will
be noticed that a larger sum has been received for Bibles and Testaments the past
year than has ever before been received in

FOREIGN DEPARTMENT.
Four Missions are now under the direction of this Board, viz.: The Mission at the
Marquesas Islands, and three Missions in
Micronesia—the Gilbert Islands, Marshall
Islands, and Caroline Islands Missions. The
number of stations occupied arc the same as
last year. During the year the Key. J.
Kanoa and wife have returned to Butaritari to
engage in their missionary work. The Key. J.
D. Ahia has returned from Apaiang to these
Islands on account of the death of his wife.
He brought with him three motherless children. One new Missionary, Mr. Kckucwu,
with his wife, Miriam, a graduate ol the
Kuwaiahiio Female Seminary, have been
appointed Missionaries to the Marshall Islands. Key. D. Kapali and wife, who returned to these Islands in IS7I in feeble
health, will return with Kekuewa and wife
to the Marshull Islands by this trip of the
Morning Star, to resume their .Missionary
work in that inviting field.
The Morning Star.
For reasons not necessary lo mention, the
Morning Star has remained in this port a
much longer time than usual. On the 3rd
of July, 1872, she left Honolulu under command of Capt. Hallet for her usual annual
voyage. The Rev. Wm. P. Alexander, Delegate of the Hawaiian Board, Rev. J.
Kanoa and family, and Mrs. Captain Win.
Hallett passengers. Returning she arrived
at Honolulu on the 17th of November, 1872,
having been absent 137 days. During this
cruise she visited all our stations in Micronesia, and also the. stations occupied by the
Samoan teachers under the Samoan Com in.,
of the London Missionary Society. Mrs.
Rev. E. T. Doane, on account of feeble
health, returned on the vessel from Bonabc,
as also Rev. J. D. Ahia and family, with
Rev. Wm. P. Alexander and Mrs Captain
Hallett.
It is now expected that the Morning Star
will, in a few days, be on her way again to
Micronesia to be absent some eleven months.
As supplies were sent to the Mission at
the Marquesas Islands in 1872 for two years,
it was voted by the Hawaiian Board not to
send the vessel to those Islands this year,
of the Mission in 1871-72 we refer you to
the Report of the Hawaiian Board for 1872.
Key. J. W. Kaiwi, who returned to these
Islands from Fatuhiwa in 1872, is still very
feeble. He having been called to take charge
of a church on Kauai, removed to that island,
but before being installed us pastor over
the church, was taken with the trouble
which caused his removal from Fatuhiwa.
He has remained in that state to the present
time. Is now at Waimea, Kauai, with his
friends, who will not consent to his leaving
them.
five stations, and three out-stations were
connected with this Mission in 1872.

Nine Hawaiian Missionaries with their
wives have labored in this field the past
year. Two other Hawaiian Missionaries,
and the only American Missionary and his
wife belonging lo the Mission have resided
nt the Hawaiian Islands during the year.
Key. H. Bingham lifft been engaged in u
great and good work for the Gilbert Islanders, by translating the New Testament into
the dialect ol that people. This he has now
completed, and he will take with him on the
vessel soon to sail this inestimable gift to circulate among the people. Nine Samoan
teachers have labored on the following Southern Islands of Ihe group, viz.: Arorae, Nuktinau, or Byrons Is., Tamana, or Rotch Is.,
Peru, and Onoatoa, or Francis Is. These
Samoan teachers are supported by the Samoan Comm., of the London Missionary
Society. The Key. Wm. P. Alexander, tho
Delegate of the Hawaiian Board to those
Islands, speaks of them thus—" They are
all married, and have each Ivna or three
children. * 4 * They ail appear well
as Missionaries. They take hold, of their
Mission work as the great work of their
lives."

Four Churches are now connected with

been admitted on confession of faith, 147 of
whom are reported as now connected with
the churches in good standing, and 23 have

Two Marshall Islanders have been sent from

There has been a church on the Island for
many years, of which the Rev. Libilac Sa,
a native of the Island, is now pastor. Mr.
Snow and his wife visited this home of their
first love on the Morning Slur, and remained with the people till the return of the
vessel from Bonabe, when they returned to
their own field in the Marshall Islands. The
Lord added His blessing to their labors. The

This Island is divided into flue districts,
each having their own King. For twenty

reports that he found many tilings to shew '
that the Gospel had taken strong hold of
many of the people. In reports received by
the Morning Star we find the following
statistics: Seven churches, not including
the church at Strong's Island. Members in
good standing in five churches st Bonabe,
518, and ten in the church at Mugil. From
Ihe church at Strong's Island we have no
Statistical Report for the year. We suppose
there are about 100 members of that church
iv good standing.
Schools arc represented to be in a prosperous condition. Many pagans are left on the
Island of Boiinhc. Certain chiefs harden
their hearts, and reject the Gospel.
West of Bonabe ore a multitude of islnnds,
the inhabitants of which have never heard
of the way provided for man's salvation.
These nre in pagan darkness. Such is the
case of the Hoogloos, the Japites, and the
people of the Peleus. Have not the Hawaiian
churches something to do in carrying the
light of life to them ? The Bonabe church
members are awake, and are ready to send
some of their best members to represent
them among the heathen and engage in the
work of enlightening them. Snail we sit

Statement on Leprosy, and Resolutions
Adopted by the
Hawaiian
Evangelical
ciation, Honolulu, Junk
Asso-
10, 1873.
The disease of leprosy in these islands has assumed
such an aspect, that it becomes our immediate duty
lo determine our coarse of action aa pastors and
teachers respecting it.
This loathsome, incurable and deadly disease bos
fastened upon the vitals of tbe nation. Although we
hope and believe that it is not yet too late by the use
of sufficiently stern nnd vigorous measures to dislodge
its fatal hold, that bold has become fearfulls-strong.
Tbe numbers already known to be victims toieprosy,
the still larger numbers who are undoubtedly infected,
ihe ateady, remorseless activity with whioh it is
extending, all tell us with ghastly assurance, that
unless remedial measures are used more affective
than have been hitherto applied, our Hawaiian people will become in a very few yeora, a nation of lepers.
Do we consider what thia means ? It means tbe
disorganisation and total destruction of oivilitation,
property values, and industry, of our churches, our
contributions, our Hawaiian Board and Its work of
Mission*. It mean* shame, and defeat, and disgraceful overthrow to all that is promising and fair
in the nation.
Wo are on the brink of a horrible pit, full of
loathsomeness, into whioh our feet are rapidly eliding.
Tb* ohief cause of our peril, is not, that God who
has stricken our nation with this awful judgment,
has piaoad no remedy within our reaoh. He has
given a remedy, whioh tbe experience of wise men
and wis* nation* ha* made certain. Nay, He has
laid therale down in tbo law given to Israel by His
(errant Moses. His this, strict, thorough jcpara-

Therefore, /.
Reiolvtd, That every Pastor and Preacher uf this

law in the thirteenth chapter of Leviticus; also, that
bo use diligently his personal efforts to induoc tbe
pcoplo to perform this duty.
Resolved, To set apart the 18th day of July next,
as a day of Fasting, of Repentanoo before Ood for
our sins, and especially for those sins which promote
the spread of this disease, and also as a day of Prayer
to God, to strengthen the King and officers of the
Government in cleansing the land of this disease,
and to turn the hearts of the pcoplo to help in this
work of saving the nation.
Resolved, That the names of all the members or

We had intended a sketch of the life and
character of the deceased, but it lias been
so fully done by the editors of the Oatette
and Advertiser, that we shall avail ourself of the following paragraphs published
in the Advertiser of July 19th. The name

years 1842 to 1853, whether that history
was written by friend or foe, American or
Englishman. It is an easy matter to guide

It liits been suit] by one who Initl ample
mcam of Knowing, that the first year of an
active business life would determine and exhibit the I'liaracter of its entire future.—
Transfer this sentiment to the religious
sphere, and it is e«itially true. The importance of beginning rig/it, in any department
of life, cannot be over-estimated. Such is,
however, the delusion of life, that it is almost
impossible to imprest this upon the mind of
the young.
The youth sees the whole world before
him with all its infinite possibilities. The
fruit of all the trees of the garden hangs in
his sight, and he seems to hear tlie voice,
"of every tree thou mayest eat." His whole
future, indeed, is dim, shadowy and undefined. And it is well it is so. But still it is
hopeful. He forms large plans, cherishes
large desires. There is no place of honor, or
trust, or responsibility, real or imaginary,
that his vaulting ambition hesitates at. His
aspirations, purposes, efforts, reach out in a
thousand different directions. However others
may have failed before him, he believes he
will not fail, there is something in his case
different to all others.
He never has done a good thing, but he
feels he has it in him to do a better; and so
he has, this is a God-implanted principle,
and will carry man to the point of infinite
endurance.
To the young man pleasure, business,
honor, prosperity, domestic joy, social advantages, all seem quite within his easy reach.
With vast longings, and with the direction
of his life still undetermined, his spiritual
industry, however sincere, is liable to be dissipated ; and did this condition of things last
long, his character would remain unformed,
his principles undeveloped, his moral attainments low. But without the rude shocks ot
disappointment to which he is surely doomed, Providence early applies the pruning
process.
He is early confined within some single
walk of industry—has one established home,
sphere of duty, circle of friends, and round
of enjoyments. His place in the social scale,
the modicum of success and honor within
his reach, is determined.
He reaches much sooner than he expected
the length of his chain. And learns, with
much mortification, the depth of his reservoir
orresources. Bounds, over which he cannot
pass, are set lo his earthly life. Yet within
those bounds his desires and active powers

SEPTEMBER I, IS™
Capt. A. D. Wood.—This gentleman formerly commanding the clipper Oracle, occasionally touching ot Honolulu, we learn has
become one of the proprietors of the Sacramento Daily Record, a large paper corresponding in size to the Union. He is also a
leading manager of the Reecm, a Temperance paper, the organ of the Good Templars
of California. He is a most thorough-going
advocate of the Temperance Reform. At
the California State Temperance Convention, held in San Francisco last April, he
delivered an address on " the Relations of
the Liquor traffic to the financial interests of
the State." This address is now circulated
in pamphlet form. It is a matterr of sincere
rejoicing to learn that Capt. Wood is thus
actively engaged in promoting the welfare
of the State of California. He is a man
who believes in newspapers and their support. We remember his coming a stranger
to our office in 1867 or 8, while in command
of the Oracle, and subscribing for about 20
copies of the Friend, and sending them for
a year and more to his friends in British
colonies, Great Britain and the United
States. He did not forget to pre-pay subscription and postage. We trust subscribers
to the Record and the Rescue may be
equally prompt and generous, and that the
most ample success majMttend Capt. Wood's
efforts in the cause ojrWe Temperance Reorm.

Memorial Sermon.—In the Sacramento
Daily Record of July 26th, we find a sermon of this character, preached by the Rev.
1. E. Dwinell, D. D., Pastor of the first
Congregational Church of Sacramento, California. It was delivered on the 10thanniversary of his settlement. It contains many
interesting historical allusions, and references to the city of Sacramento and State of
California. We were somewhat surprised
to read the following paragraph: " This is
the last Sabbath of a ten years' ministry in
Sacramento. I have been for sometime the
longest settled Pastor in the State of any denomination. Ten years in changeful California is a long period." This fact surely
indicates an unsettled state of ecclesiastical
affairs, relating to the permanency of the
Pastoral office. In the future a different
result may be expected. In the spring of
1869, it was our privilege to listen to an interesting discourse of Dr. Dwinell, at the
opening of the Pacific Railroad. He is a
man of fine scholarship, and we are not surprised that his parish is much attached to
their Pastor. Sometime since he declined
the invitation to become a Professor in the
Pacific Theological Seminary. We have
taken a peculiar interest in reading this
Memorial Sermon," because it was our
"privilege
to visit Sacramento, during the
summer of 1849, ere any church was built
or a Minister of the Gospel of any denomination had arrived. Very soon, however,
the Rev. Dr. Benton commenced his labors
there. Now the city is supplied we know
not with how many churches, probably not
less than twenty.
A Boston writer says that men do not kill
themselves so much by overwork as by inattention to the common laws of health. They
eat at improper hours, they do not exercise,
they neglect the prime essential, sleep, they
break down, and overwork gets the blame.
A man is like an engine; he will stand a
certain amount of high pressure and no more.
Half the quarrels and litigations in the world
are caused by bad digestion, and we think
he is pretty nearly correct.
S. P. Aheong.—Letters from this wellknown Chinaman, were received by a laf%
mail from China. ■ He still remains in Swatow with his family, and is engaged in teaching an English school for his countrymen.
He has about twenty pupils. If satisfactory
arrangements could be made, he would be
exceedingly glad to return to the Hawaiian
Islands.
Catling's Gun.—Having frequently read
notices of this famous gun in American
newspapers, we were much interested in examining two specimens met with on board
the Russian and American vessels of war,
now in our port. We first saw that on board
the Russian, and were surprised to be told
that it would discharge 200 charges per minute. The officer remarked that it was an
American invention but had been improved
upon in Russia. Having occasion to visit
the Portsmouth we made enquiry for a
Gatling." Much to our surprise, Captain
Skerrett remarked, that there was a possibility of discharging 400 charges per minute.
He furthermore stated upon the authority of
the First Lieutenant, Mr. Clark, who witnessed the experiment, that a "Gatling"
had been found capable of hitting a target
at 800 yards, 399 times out of 400 shots.
After the first shot, %* gun was j;arefuliv
adjusted, and this result followed. Such are
the facilities that the gun can be worked by
three men, and in its working the gun moves
back and forward so that the bullets will
mow down a regiment of soldiers, when in
line, at a half mile distance. Not being
skillful at maneuvering a gun or describing
the working of a " Gatling," we may not
have conveyed a very intelligible idea to the
reader, but we must add, that we hope "Gatling's " and other kinds of gunnery will become so perfect and destructive that nations
"
will be afraid to go to war, and will resort
"Geneva" to settle their difficulties
rather than to the battle-field. The inventor of this famous gun, Dr. Gatling, was, we
believe, a volunteer in the late civil war, and
a citizen of Indiana.

picture.
This is something of the picture, bare of
coloring. The shadows of the night are fast
deepening; deepening till they dim the fair
landscape, as a pall covers darkly something
we love. As the light fades, still stars
gleam ia the sky, not silver-clear and bright,
and not as harbingers of hope. Through the
gloom you see gaunt fruit trees fruitless. In
some merry spring time, you might fancy
there were buds and blossoms here, pledges
of golden fruitage. In the chill and damp
of the night air we hear the moaning of the
wind among the leaves; see the scattered,
withered fruit. Surely no one lives in this
lonely, deserted spot. Yet before you stands
a door. There must be some dweller here. It
is so closely barred, with bolt and hinge, so
cruelly unfriendly and forbidding, one may
never hope again to gain admittance. Long
ago must this portal have been closed, perhaps in that same far-away spring, when
birds sang blithely and there was sunshine
everywhere. Vines and shrubs are knotted
and tangled, chainlike, between you and this
" strange, mysterious door;" tall, rank grass
and weeds are about your feet; saddest neglect is pictured everywhere. What is the
meaning of all this gloom ?
Near this door stands One on whose brow
is a kingly coronet, shadowed by another
wreath, which is of thorns. From His shoulders hangs a mantle, richly wrought, on His
feet are sandals, pressing close on grasses,
sear and old. Light glimmers faintly from
a curious lantern which He bears. Welook
up. His hand is on the door; He is knocking. There is more light coming through
the darkness. We look closely, eagerly.
The hand is pierced. " He was wounded for
our transgressions, he. was bruised for our
iniquities." About the head shines a halo,
by it stars are dimmed. There is hope ; we
recognize the risen Christ." Patiently

Roman mind, and out-growths of a sensuous

relics of ancient genius have deepened full
enough the coloring of Christian art and
poetry of the past and presegt age. The
highest triumphs in mediaeval painting and
sculpture, (achieved in those days, when
after a slumber of ages, the world was made
glad by the awakening to a new life of those
grand principles of beauty, which can never
really die) bear the impress of those old time
artists who wrought, it is true, most wonderfully, yet not in the light of a divine revelation. Many who have been annointed with
the chrisnWf poetic inspiration, have risen
but partially above the influence of mere
earthborn beauty, though possessed of themes,
new and heavenly.

much in fashion of those bards whose verses
are the only memorial of a vanished faith,
the sepulchres of merely human deities.
That in the sublime Bible narratives lie
the most glorious opportunities for the enlightened artist and poet, none can doubt.
The sweetest strains of earthly music fade
away amid the melody of the angelic chorus,
and the harpings of that heavenly host. The
grandest ideals of antique art are dwarfed
before those lives and principles, God-blessed
and given, which are there sculptured for
eternity. Aye, all else is forgotten in the

New Book Relating to the Pacific.—
Rumor reports that the officers of H. B. ll.'s
Zealous, are about to publish a volume relating to their cruise in the Pacific.' During
the summer of 1871, she visited the Hawaiian Islands, touching at various harbor?.
The vessel will be remembered as havin«touched off Ulupalakua, where the Admiral
and officers were so generously entertained
by Capt. Makee. During the visit at Honolulu the most coi.lidl civilities were interchanged between the foreign residents and
the officers. Rear-Admiral Farquhar is remembered as having been particularly courteous in his intercourse with all. The boolt
will be published by the well-known booksellers, Longman & Co., and will be handsomely illustrated. Honolulu is to be portrayed in a full page engraving. The book
is supposed to have already appeared in
London, and hence copies may be expected
by an early arrival. Copies of the workmay be ordered through T. Q. Thrum.

A Hi -.man Arctic Exploration.—Russia must now he
added to thelist of the nations actively engaged in Arctic discovery. The Imperial GeographicalSociety lias made use ol
its special advantages to send out an experienced Siberian
traveler, M. Tachekanowakl, on nn expedition, which ia welt
equipped and supplied for two years. The exploring party,
which haa already set out in sledges from Irkutsk, is to follow
the Tunguska, a branch of the Upper Yenisei, until It reaches
thePolar Basin, and to survey the vast unknown region that
skirts that part of the Frozen Ocean which contains the New
Siberian Islands. The return route Is to be by way of the
Valley of the Lena aud Yakutsk, and the hitherto unknown
regions of Arctic Siberia, which Alexander Yon Humboldt
eagerly desired to explore. It is believed that in these higher
portions of Siberia is to be found enormous mineral wealth in
gold, silver, precious stones, and coal. Observations made
upon the geology and meteorology of the coldest region of the
globe cannot fail to be of value, even if the hopes of finding n
Northern El Dorado remain unsatisfied. Perhaps the possibility of finding that the frozen North may containactualand
tangible gold will deprive "practical" economists of their
sole argument against pushing on Arctic discovery as quickly
as possible. Russia is, above all tilings, a practical nation,
and deserves to reap the full fruits of her energy—at least,
when directed northwards.—Pall Mall Gazette.

not forgotten his old friends and the natives,
respecting whom he speaks in a most kindly
manner, while he thinks the missionaries
have not been altogether successful in teaching the Hawaiians the doctrine of the Holy
Trinity, still they have done much good :
On the whole, their success as a civilizing and christianizing power, the Doctor did

strictly temperate, and taught temperance."
He thus remarks upon the success of the
missionaries in the training of their own
children :
" The action of the missionaries in moral
respects was especially conspicuous in the
training of their large families of children.
So many excellent and honorable young men
and women he had never known presented
by the same number of parents to society,

Edited by a Committee of the Y. M. C. A. "nounces
to his congregation when he gives consumed 18,843 gallons.
Church Singing.
The body of plain dissenting churches
have never yet attained to any harmony of
practice, or satisfactory performance in the
service of sacred song. The old sublime
ritual of praise has been set aside with other
elaborate ceremonies of public worship, and
very little has been substituted in its place.
Some churches have what they call congregational singing, in which this part of Divine
worship is left hap-hazard to'the congregation and a musical burlesque supported by a
few devout but discordant volunteers is
often the miserable -result. Other churches
have their singing done by contract by a
paid choir of experts, just as they engage a
a sexton to do their bell ringing, and they
succeed in obtaining by this revolting practice correct musical expression and often
doubtless very artistic performances but at
the costly sacrifice of the song worship of the
congregation. Between these two extremes
are found.all modifications of both systems,
churches where a large choir made up from
tho congregation do die praising for the rest;
churches in which the choir do the chants,
anthems, etc., and perhaps two of the hymns,
leaving to the congregation the privilege of
praising the Lord in the last hymn ; churches
in which the congregation may assist the
choir in all the hymns, in which case it generally happens that they arc so overpowered
by the cultivated preparation of the latter and
its apparent superiority to all need of assistance, that their effort is feeble and ineffective
instead of being the glad, unanimous outburst
of praise which God delights in and which
lifts men nearer to Him.
The church should be satisfied with nothing less than a service of song in which all
may participate. A service consisting of a
sermon, prayer by the minister, sacred music
by the choir, is little more than a combined
concert and lecture of a serious cast; better
go back to the singing boys, responses and
reverent forms of our brethren the ritualists.
There seems no reason why, with real religious enthusiasm and a determination to
make public worship what its name implies
—the hearty worship of each attendant—the
service of singing may not be established in
its true position i.s the medium by which
the multitude may unite in praise, confession
and supplication before the Father of all.
The happiest success has been reached
where this object has* been faithfully sought,
and here and there nre churches where
out the hymn, and God is worshipped with
a hearty enthusiasm that carries the listener
along in its flow. Spurgeon's church in
England and John flail's in America have
no choir except the assembled throng who
rise and sing to the leadership of a clear,
distinct voice from the pulpit or platform.
In Beecher's church the grand congregational singing assisted by the choir is thrilling in its effect, and shows that the presence
of a choir need not injuriously affect this
exercise, which is second to none in importance in the strength anil reach of its good
In 1863 the consumption fell off to 7,862
gallons. In 1564, the first year of the reign
of Kamehameha V., the consumption increased to 10,237 gallons, and gained steadily until in the last year of his reign it had
reached 18,843 gallons.
In 1850, with a population of 54.165, the
consumption was 8,251 gallons; while in
1872, with a population of 56,897, the consumption was 18,843 gallons.

The Treasurer was not present at the last
meeting to make his monthly report, but it
was stated that the funds were low and that
it would soon be necessary to go into the
community to solicit contributions for tho
support of the Reading Room.
The Chinese Sabbath school under the
direction of this Association is well attended;
there being an average of 16 pupils present
every Sunday afternoon. An appeal was
made at the last meeting for more teachers,
and it is to be hoped that many will respond.
Sailors and strangers will find a nice well
lighted and ventilated Reading Room at the
Sailors' Home, where there is always a full
supply of good reading matter. All the
principal English and American weekly papers and periodicals are kept on hand ; and
persons desiring to write to their friends will
find pen, ink and paper for that purpose

authority has given to this subject a most
thorough investigation. It is a subject which
we should have supposed some Englishman would have persued, even if it required
a visit to Madrid and a thorough reading of
the Journals of the Spanish Navigators of
16th century. No one doubts Cook's ability
as Navigator and Explorer. He was preeminently the greatest Explorer of unknown
seas, who flourished during the 18th century.
For his fair fame, however, he most unfortunately allowed himself to be treated and
worshipped as a god. We have thought
that this must be the reason why among
even his own countrymen here or in England, there never could be aroused sufficient
enthusiasm to erect a suitable and becoming
monument to his name, on the spot where
he so unfortunately was killed.
HISTORY OF TUB DISCOVERY OF THE sS_UU_, AND

taken by Anson from the Manila galleon there is a
group of islands called Los Majoa, the different members of which are termed La Mesa, La Desgrocioda,
Los Monjes, ltocca Partida, La Nublada, &c.; and
they are placed between lat. 18° and 22° N., and between long. 186° and 139° W.; but their existence
in that position—at least as regards longtitude—was
disproved by the subsequent voyages to the Pacific of
LaPerouseiu 1786, ofPortlook and Dixon in 1786,
and of Vancouver in 1793. Tbe Spanish word Aftta,
however, signifies table, and is sufficiently indicative
of the island of Hawaii, tbe mountains of which do
not, like most volcanoes, rise into peaks, but are
flat at tbe top, making what is called by mariners
table-land ;'' while other points of coincidence—such
as an island-group extending through four degrees
of latitude and longitude, the position as regards latitude nearly correct, &c, —would seem to refer to
what is now called the Hawaiian archipelago. The
discrepancy as regards longitude (nearly twenty degrees) counts for little where dead-reckoning was
tbe means employed to determine that element; as
great an error was made by the Hon. E. I. Co.'s ship
Derby in 1719 proceeding from the Cape of Good
Hope to India, when tbe islands off the west coast of
Sumatra were thought to be the Maldivhs.
The positions given above are, according to various
authorities, those in which tbe Spaniards plaosd the

1542 sailed from Navidad on the west coast of Mexico
(lat. 20° N.); he steered a due west course for 900
leagues, when he discovered a group of islands inhabited by savages nearly naked ; the islands were
fringed with coral, and grew oocoanuts and other
fruit ; there was neither
nor silver ; he named
them Isles del Rev ; the island 20 leagues more to
tbe west he called Isle dc las Huertas. It is also
stated that the Spanish editor of Gaetano's account
placed tbe islands between 9° and 11° N, a clerical
error for 19° and 21°.—Now Navidad is in lat 19°

if the information conveyed in the note to La Perosse's
Voyage is correct, it is more than probable that
Gaetano did visit the Sandwich Islands ; but it is
extraordinary, as Cook observes, that considering
their favorable position, the Spanish galleons did not
visit them.—JVcrfA Pacific Pilot, London, 1870.

in which are traced his three voyages around the

none would dare dispute with the English the first
discovery of the Sandwich Islands. But Arrowsmith,
in his General Chart, of 1790, aad in his Planisphere
of 1794, sacrificing his amour proprt to the evidence,
only lays down one of the two groups. Since 1786,

nest, and in the whole of this expanse be found
neither group, island, nor any sign of land ; and did
not doubt that the island of Owhyhee, with its arid
mountain in the form of a table, was 'La Mesa' of
the Spaniards;" and he adds, at page 126: "In
the charts, at the foot of this Archipelago, might be
written
Sandwich Islands, surveyed in 1778, by
Captain Cook, who named them, anciently discovered
by the Spanish navigators.'" Perfectly in accord
with this opinion, and strengthening it by an evident
proof, is the log of the corvettes Descubierla and
Atrtvida, on their voyage from Acapulco to Manill.i.
which manuscript is preserved in this office, and
apropos to this cose, states, at folio 26 : With a
sea so heavy from N. W. and N., that while tbe rolling of the ship increased, and with it the irksome
interruption of our internal duties, the speed decreased, with considerable delay to our voyage
scarcely by noon of the 20th could we consider ourselves to be at 72, in tbe meridian of Owhyhee, about
66° longitude and 13° latitude ; nevertheless we had
not, according to our calculation, an error of less thau
7" to the eastward, which, considering the long logline we made use of and that that error ought not
necessarily to be the maximum to which it should be
circumscribed on the voyage, strongly supported the
suspicion that the Sandwich Islands of Captain Cook
were Los Monges and Olla of the Spanish oharts, discovered by Jaun dc Gaytan in 1666, and situated
about 10° to the eastwai d of the new position fixed
upon by Uie English." We thus see that the presumptive or circumstantial evidence as to the true
discoverer of the Sandwich Islands is indubitable ;
having on its side the opinions of distinguished men,
among whom figure countrymen of Cook himself,
men whojprefer justice and reason to a vain national
The last observation to be considered is the
ifferenoe in the dates given to the first discovery.
Foreign authors say that it took place in 1642, in the
expedition commanded by General Rui Lopez dc Villalobo ; while the Spanish Chronicles denote 1665.
The latter date should be the more correct one, for
Juan Gaytan wrote the narrative of the voyage of
1642, and mentions nothing respecting thoseIslands,
while he gives an account of Roca Tartida, (Split
Rock), and Ambloda, (Cloudy Island), and of all
those he discovered on that expedition. To complete
and terminate, therefore, these investigations, there
is only wanting the narrative of Gaytan corresponding to the voyage in whioh he made that discovery ;
though in my opinion it is not required to make clear
the truth of this fact. I have the honor to transmit
this to Y. E. by Royal order, so that you may communicate the preceding information to the Government of the Sandwich Islands, and as being consequent to Y. E.s letter No. 864, dated the 18th July

Colonial Office, No. C4.—Sir The Marine Department communicated to this office on the 28th
January, instant, that which follows. As there do
not exist in the archives of this office any records
whatever bearing dates previous to the year 1784,
when all those of dates anterior to it were transmitted
to the Archives Simancas, the Royal order of the 4th
instant, communicated by your Excellency lo this
office, was referred to the Ilydrographical Department, for obtaining particulars respecting the discovery of the Hawasianas or Sandwich Islands, in order
to ascertain whether there were to be found records
that could elucidate in any way the date of that discovery, and the name of the discoverer. On the 25th
instant, tbe Chief of that Department replied as follows:
Sir : In fulfillment of the Royal order dated the
7th instant, for the purpose of ascertaining the historical information extant in this office regarding the
discovery of the Hawasianas or Sandwich Islands, I
have the honor to send Y. E. the result of the investigations made with tbe diligence recommended to
me in that Royal order.
By all the documents that
have been examined, it is demonstrated that that
discovery dates from the year 1566, or 223 years before Captain Cook surveyed those Islands ; and that
the discoverer was Juan Gaetano or Gaytan, who
gave names to the principal islands of that archipelago. It is true that no document has been found in
which Gaytan himself certifies to this faot, but there
exist data which collectively form a series of proofs
sufficient for believing it to be so. The principal one
is an old manuscript chart, registered in these archives as anonymous, and iv wbioh the Sandwich Islands are laid down under that name, but which also
contains a note declaring the name of the discoverer
and date of tbe discovery, and that he called them
Islas dc Mesa," (Table Islands). There are, besides, other islands, situated in the same latitude,
but 10° further east, and respectively named
La
Mesa," (the table), La Desirraoiado," (tbe unfortunate), "Olloa," or Los Monges," (the Monks).
This chart appears to be a copy of that called the
Chart of the Spanish galleon, existing long before
the time of Cook, and which is referred lo by all the
national and foreign authors that have been consulted, such as the following: "Batavian Qforgraphy,
2d Vol. of the Geographical Atlas of William Blaen,
Amsterdam, 16C3." In the first map, entitled
"America Nova Fabula," the neighboring Island,
La Desgraciado," and those of Los Monges," are
placed towards the 21st degree of north latitude, and
120° west of tbe meridian passing through the Island
of Teneriffe.—" Georgraphical Atlas of D'Auville,
published in 1761, and revised and improved in 1786,
by Barbie dv Bocage." In the second map, and in
the Hemisphere of the Mappa Mundi, the Islands
Desgraciado," Mesa," Olla " and Los Monges," are found in the 20th degree of north latitude,
and about 17° further east, than the Sandwich
group, augmented by Barbie in this chart. James
Burney, in the Chronological History of the discoveries in the South Sea, or Pacific Ocean, cites the
Atlas of Artelius, entitled, Theatrum Orbis," in
which the same islands are found, and placed in
nearly the same position.—" Alexander Findley's
Directory for the navigation of the Pacific Ocean,
Edition of 1867." In the second part of this work,

THE FRIEND, OCTORER,
Sacredness of Civil Government.
We listened with much delight, Sabbath
evening, Sept 21st, to the Rev. Mr. Frear,
at Fort street Church, as he discoursed upon
the » Sacredness and Benefits of Civil Goveminent." He based his remarks upon the
opening verses of the 13th chapter of Paul's
epistle to the Komans. " This passage of
Scripture" heremarked in the exordium ofhis
discourse, "as you are awire is the old war<:lub with which oppressors have been wont
to strike down the rights of thr-ir thinking
and liberty-loving subjects."
After describing the condition ol the Roman Empire in the days of the apostle, Mr.
Frear proceeded to discourse very satisfactorily and soundly upon the sacredness of civil
tjovemment. The views which he presented
and opinions advanced were so eminently in
accordance with our own sentiments upon
this subject, that we heartily rejoice to see
the sermon is to be printed in the Qaattte,
We copy as follows :
" First, its Sacredness. There is sanctity to civil government, which God himself
has given it. There is that about it which
makes it a kind of sacrilege for a man to lay
a ruthless or destroying hand upon it. Its
authority demands respect and obedience.
It awakens in all right hearts a feeling of
deference and regard. It is that which cannot be sinned against with impunity. It
claims the allegiance and loyalty of man.
To trample on its laws is to be criminal, to
rise up against its supremacy is to be traitorous.
"It has this sacredness because, as our
text says, it is ordained of God. Kings even
do not give to it aught of its sacredness.
Human pomp and show of royalty add nothing to this its sacredness. It is sacred because it is God's institution, and not man's.
It is not the creature of man, neither did it
result from any compact among men. It is
something that God has given to the human
race, and from Him it derives its sacredness.
For this reason, at our text says, he who resisteth the power, i.e., the proper civil government, resitteth the ordinance, the institution, the commandment of God.
In this respect the state or nation is like
the" family. The family institution never
sprang out of any arrangement of men
among themselves; but God in the beginning set them in families, and put that nature in them which necessiated the family
institution and He has perpetuated the race
under the family organization. For this
reason the family has sacredness and centralized binding force, and for this reason
the violation of the family obligation is a sin
against God, and not merely the breaking of
a human compact.
"Oar Creator has made strong the ties of
family in the human heart. He has encircled it and bound it together with peculiar
affections, respoiiajbilities and interests. He
works out in it -Hove, a life, and a history
of its own. He has planted in it a family
feeling, a family pride; a family spirit, and
there is such a thing as a family fortune,
family reproaches, and visitations of judg-
1873.
ment, the iniquities of the father upon the sic among the books on China, " The Midchildren being visited sometimes unto the dle Kingdom," and doing all kinds of per-
third and fourth generation.
"Very much in the same way the powers
that be are ordained of God. He made us
to live under civil government, and gave us
natures that necessitate it, and has organized
the race in that way. He has put men in
nations, and has put a national feeling and
spirit in their hearts, and has planted there
an .obligation of allegiance. The duty of
submission to law and legitimate civil authority as something that is sacred, and not
merely politic, is a feeling deeply implanted
in the human breast. No nation or state
ever originated in any mere mutual agreement of men, nor ever derived its autority
from that source. Men find themselves, and
ever have from the beginning found themselves in nations, a part of the national body
and life, without any agency of their own.
They are born into the community, a part
of it, and with its responsibilities and privileges. The nation always has its birth in
the providence of God ; and it has its distinct growth, organic unity and development,
under circumstances of His overrulings and
ordering, God has thus placed men everywhere under sacred binding government,
without any choice of their own, and He has
made this one of the unavoidable conditions
of our earthly life."
Missionaries in China and Japan.
Twenty-nine years ago, in June, 1544, live
missionaries met together for the first time
in China. They were young men then, and
the year 1873 finds them gray-haired and far
on in life, though all are still alive and not
yet out of harness. These men were the
medical doctors, McCartec and Hepburn
(American), the printer, S. Wells Williams
(American), and the ministers, Rev. S. R.
Brown (American) and J. C. Legge (English.) Now they are all D. Ds. or LL. Ds.,
and the work actually done by these men
would have killed twenty ordinary scholars.
Dr. McCartee, after twenty-nine years of
continual study, translation, hospital and
dispensary work, and evangelizing labors
among the Chinese at Ningpo, is now professor of natural history in the Imperial College in Tokei, Japan. His original composition in Chinese and translations, consisting
of religious books, manuals of devotion,
tracts, critiques, etc., number about fifty volumes. Dr. Hepburn, after many years of
hospital and dispensary work in China, came
to Japan, carried on the same healing work
for the bodies and souls of the Jrpanesc, and,
after eleven years of unremitting labor, has
produced the master-work of his life and has
chiseled the monument that will keep his
name green for generations to come—the
Japanese and English Dictionary. Dr. Hepburn has also spent several years, in company with Dr. Brown, in translating the Gospels into Japanese. He is now engaged in
carrying through the press a pocket edition
of his dictionary in San Francisco. Dr. S.
Wells Williams, besides being the soul of
the mission printing press in Shanghai for
years, acting as interpreter for Com. Perry
in his expedition to Japan, writing that clastwo
sonal missionary work, has crowned the labors of hit life by issuing, through the press
at Shanghai, his Chinese English Dictionary, the fruit of thirty years of mental toil.
Dr. Williams is now the Secretary of the
United States legation in Peking. Rev. S.
R. Brown, after laboring for many years in
China, was one of the first pioneers ih Japan, and besides his ordinary missionary labors has composed a valuable grammar ol
the Japanese language, has been the chiel
translator of the Scriptures into Japanese,
and will end his days at that work. The
Rev. Dr. Legge, the last one on the list, is
the world-known translator of Confucius.
For thirty years as teacher, translator, pastor, preacher, and student Dr. Legge has
lived in Hongkong, averaging in his earlier
years fifteen hours of study n day, and
now at 65, ruddy and stalwart, seems ready
to spend thirty years more either at the anvil or tho study-desk, with pen or sledgehammer. What labor it has been to master
the Chinese language, the text and hosts of
commentaries on Confucius' writings, only
they who attempt it can fully understand
:
and when it is remembered that his work
has been done amid the routine of ordinary
work, often amid pestilence and political
commotion, the capacity for work in this
man can be imagined. Dr. Legge, before
he left China, visited Pekin and the tomb ol
Confucius. He now goes home to England
to visithis large family, including ten grandchildren. In the long roll of missionary
names and honors we can point to nd greater
names than these, to no greater monument
of labor, to no greater missionary success,
at least, within the present century. All
have won long life, honor, fame, and earthly
comfort—showing that they have realized
the promise of the life that now is, as well
as that which is to come. Let no' young
man about to beceme a missionary think
that the days of great triumphs are over.
There is work to be done, honor in this life,
and more in the world to come. AH these
men have numbered their converts by scores
and Dr. Legge has baptized with his own
hands about 700 souls. In the harvest of
souls Dr. McCartee, doubtless, comes next ;
while all will, doubtless, find that many
forgotten seed dropped long ago has borne
fruit and will appear as fruit in the harvest
above. We shall not yet believe that the
day of missionary triumphs are over when
our own generation furnishes us with such
noble examples of work, devotion, and substantial results.—.V. )'. Independent.

industry and trade when the wages of labor
all over the country have reached a point
heretofore unthought of, there is presented fb
us the extraordinary fact, that poverty and
pauperism and crime are vastly on the increase. And it is acknowledged by the
highest authorities that liquor is the cause
of this unnatural state of things. Eren the
government has taken the alarm and at the
last session of Parliament took one step in
the right direction by diminishing tho number of hours during which the public houses
may be kept open.
Sir Wilfred Lawson, in a debate in the
House of Commons, denounced the licencing
policy of the government in very strong
terms, as calculated and intended to produce
a large revenue from the degradation of the
people. The government, he said, had given
no indication of an intention of doing anything whatever to remove from the people
the abounding temptations to drunkenness to
which they arc exposed; and he quoted
against the Ministers the well-known lines
The Rum Question.
One bright sunshiny morning it few
months ago us the writer was riding over
the grass-covered hills on a neighboring
island, he overtook a man on horse-back, —a
machinist, who was bound to the next plantation to make some repairs. In the course
of the conversation which ensued the man,
who was slightly corned himself, took occasion to remark that he did not believe in any
one drinking to excess, but he liked to see
a man able to take his glass without indulging intemperately. "Old fellow," thought
we, "your principles are sound, but they
don't quite coincide with your practice."
It is just this weakness in humanity that

annually clandestinely furnished to natives,
how can any one believe that in the out-districts where opportunities are greater, and
the police are often nearly worthless, rum
could be manufactured in large quantities
and the populace be kept from guzzling.
Through the cupidity of distillers, the unfaithfulness ol officials, and in a hundred
other ways, the product of the stills would
be diffused among the community, and the
utmost endeavor of government and planters
could not prevent it.
But this is not the question at issue.
Bom is a curse whether drunk by Patagonians, or Esquimaux, or Hawaiians, and the
turpitude of the Hawaiian distiller would be
in no wise diminished because he manufactured for exportation.
The regular meeting for September
was unusually well attended and interesting.
A committee of three, appointed the previous
month to investigate the feasibility of inaugurating and carrying on a Chinese Mission
in these islands, and of sending to China for
Mr. Aheong to aid in the enterprise, reported favorably. The project was afterward
discussed at some length, and a committee
of five appointed to ascertain what financial
support could be relied upon in carrying out
the proper measures, and to report in two
weeks at a special meeting of the Association. This meeting was held on the 26th
ult. The report of the committee was of so
encouraging a nature that the meeting passed a resolution to send for Mr. Aheong by
the first opportunity, guaranteeing his traveling expenses, and his salary here. The
interest in this importaut enterprise is wide
spread and the offers of assistance numerous
and generous and representing many of the
well to do Chinese citizens, the foreign
churches and a number of the benevolent
societies of the islands.
This year’s International Convention of
the Young Men's Christian Association has
again proved the growth and influence of
these organizations. The Convention met
at Poughkeepsie on the 9th inst., when it
was reported that there are nine hundred and
twenty-four associations on the roll, or eighty
more than a year ago. Thirty-eight have
permanent buildings, valued at one and three*
quarter million dollars, and nearly as many
more have building funds.
Associations
have been organised in thirty-two colleges
and literary institutions. Following this
report came the discussion of a variety of
topics relating to the work and management
of these associations, such as the value of
Bible-classes, the qualifications of the general
secretaries, the efficiency of personal visitation, etc. The subject, " What can young
men do through associations to destroy pernicious literature?" appeared to be as important as any, and brought out some excellent remarks from Rev. Lyman Abbott, Mr.
Anthony Comstock, and others. There is a
wide field here for usefulness and thorough
work, and no organizations seem better qualified to enter it than these very associations
of active youths.
