This vessel has again returned to our port, after making another of her most useful cruises among the islands, reefs and shoals, known and unknown in the Pacific. Her late cruise has been along the Line, or over that part of the Pacific where are situated Christmas Island, Palmyra Island, Washington Island and Fanning's Island. From a rapid glance at the track of the vessel as drawn out upon the chart, we should infer that a pretty thorough exploration has been made. Capt. Skerrett and his officers found it to be no holiday employment, for example to survey Christmas Island in a sailing vessel, as it was well known that island was found to be laid down far from correctly on the Admiralty Chart, published as late as» 1870. This is the island where so many vessels have been totally wrecked during the last hilf century. We recall the following: A Danish ship, name unknown, Pulsford, Briton, J. C. Frtmotit, Maria Helena and Mozart. It was on Christmas Island that Past Midshipmen Stevens, (now Commodore Stevens) with his wife and son (now Thos. Stevens Master of the U. S. Navy), and several other passengers were wrecked in the Maria Helena, on the 20th of December, 1847, bound for New Bedford. They were there detained until the following Spring, in the mean time a small vessel was constructed from the wreck and dispatched to Honolulu. Here there was found the French vessel of war Sarcelk, which immediately left and rescued all those upon the island. If any one will compare the old Charts with the new ones as drawn by the draftsman of the Portsmouth, Mr. Bayer, be- will not be surprised that these vessels should have been wrecked, hence we hope for the interests of commerce and shipping, new charts will be immediately ex.ecu.te4 wad for- �18 .

Much labor was expended by Capt Skerrett and his officers in surveying the other islands we have named, charts of which have already been MARCH, 187 4. apparatus for taking deep sea-soundings, and the instruments for doing this work, appear to be very simple and admirably adapted to the purpose. A wheel, not larger than a tolerably sized grindstone, has wound upon it from 4 to 5 miles of No. 22 steelpiano wire, weighing in water about 12 lbs to the statute mile, with a breaking strain of from 210 to 230 lbs. The Brooke detaching apparatus and sinker is used—the latter an S inch aheet weighing 55 lbs, with a hole 2 \ inches in diameter bored through the centre. At every cast the sinker is detached and left on the bottom—milestones perhaps for the geologist of the distant future. Specimens of bottom mud are brought up every time in cups or cylinders devised by Com. G. E. Belknap. The sounding drum or reel with dynamometer was invented by Sir Wm. Thomson of Glasgow University. The Tuscarora under command of Com. Belknap, left San Diego, California, and made a* straight course as possible for Honolulu, not deviating more than 12 or 15 miles from as straight line. The distance is 2,200 miles. It is designed to " sound " once every forty miles. During the passage of the vessel 62 soundings were made. At the 49th cast, after leaving the American coast the sounding was made at 3,054 fathoms. The mean depth between the 1900 fathoms curve near San Diego to the 2100 fathoms curve close to Oahu was found to be 2,562 fathoms. Beginning at the above mentioned 1900 fathoms curve latitude 30 ° 43' North, longitude 119 p 28' West, the depth increased 494 fathoms in a distance of 600 miles, the next 1050 miles the water only deepens 286 fathoms. While the 500 miles further on and approaching the islands the increase is 3515 fathoms. The extraordinary depths of forwarded to Washington. Palmyra Island has always beenlaid down upon charts of the Pacific as only one body of land or one island, whereas it was found to be made up of about sixty islets, large and small, including three lagoons. The opening is to the westward. The islets are low, the highest not over six feet above the water. Shortly after leaving Honolulu the Portsmouth searched, in vain, for Papapa Rock, reported by Capt. Gellett and others, as existing about sixty miles S. S. W. from Kawaihoa, Niihau. The position of Papapa examined was that obtained from Capt. Gellett, and the English Charts. Capt. James Smith said he had seen it, but gave no position. We can hardly find words to express our estimation of the importance of the work in which the Portsmouth is engaged. We only regret that tne Secretary of the Navy could not have furnished a steamer instead of a sailing vessel. It will be a most rare good fortune if the Portsmouth is not laid up on some reef or shoal, before this work is completed. We once made a cruise in the Morning Star among the low islands and reefs of Micronesia, where the Portsmouth is yet to cruise, and we can testify that dangers are neither few nor easy to be avoided in a sailing vessel, hence the more reason why these islands and reefs should be accurately and thoroughly explored and surveyed. More vessels ought to be engaged in the work and kept at it for the next ten years. War ships in times of peace could not surely be more usefully employed. Such work will make keen sighted, shrewd, practical men of our and 2056 fathoms were found at disnaval officers, bringing them into active 3023 tances of only 43 miles and 24 miles from sympathy with our commercial marine.

Com. Belknap and his able corps of officers appear to be enthusiastic in the details of this arduous undertaking, working night and day; for it n-quires the work to be carried on at night as well as the day. On the departure of the vessel she will carry forward the same system of observation, during her passage to Japan, touching at the Bonin Islands. Thence she will proceed homeward via the Alleutian Islands to Puget Sound, and thus com-plete a large circle of deep sea soundings. When reflecting upon the contributions to the cause of science, which such a cruise as that of the Titscarora is to make during her passage across the Pacific, we cannot refrain from expressing our admiration of the enterprise, and our regret that more of our vessels of war are not engaged in such noble enterprises. It would surely be most advantageous to the cause of science and commerce, while it gives, during times of peace, most useful and elevating employment to the officers of the navy, thus bringing into practical use the knowledge acquired at Annapolis Navy School. Changes in the Population of New England. For two hundred years after the settlement of New England or from 1620 to 1820, there were but few changes in the population of New England. There was a purely English type to the inhabitants. During the last half century a rapid change has been in progress. Thousands and tens of thousands have gone forth to settle new States and Territories. Ohio, Illinois, Michigan,lowa,Minnesota and California have received large accessions to thoir population from New England. # The vacuum has been filled up, not by the natural growth of the original English stock, but by large numbers from Ireland, Canada, England and other countries. A most vivid picture of this change or revolution may be witnessed in some of the smaller towns. By a late mail we received a " Memorial Discourse," by the Rev. W. P. Paine, D. D., on the fortieth anniversary of his settlement over the Congregational Church in Holden, Massachusetts. This town happens to be our native place, and of course we have taken special delight in reading this discoure. As this " t^Himent • �I H h KKIK.MJ. contains so many facts relating to the change of population in that small township, we deem some ofthem worthy of notice, because they are illustrative of New England at large. Holden is situated in the very center and heart of Massachusetts, and was formerly the North Half of Worcester, from which it was set off in 1741, hence it has been a township by itself, for one hundred and thirty-three years. It is a good specimen or type of a New England country town. In the year 1800, it had a population of 1,142; in 1820, a population of 1,402; 1840, 1,718, and a|«he last general census of the United Stalk in 1870, we find that its population had increased to 2,062. A fifth part of this population or 421, of the present inhabitants were persons of foreign birth. The following extracts from Dr. Paine's discourse will illustrate the above statements: "The present pastorate has embraced a period more difficult than any preeceeding one in New England's history, to keep in vigorous and progressive operation religious institutions in country towns. Forty years ago rail-roading was in its infancy, and had done little to stimulate business. There were not many centers of trade and industry, or of population, except in few cities on the sea-board. Agriculture was the chief employment in rural districts; and having little Western competition, was profitable and generally satisfactory. There being little to invite young men and women to leave the localities of their nativity, they remained at or near their early homes. Seldom did the precious old homestead go out of the family, but descended from father to son for generations, and besides, those were days of larger families than are now usually found in our native American homes. The result of this state of things was a country population in almost every place, at least holding its own and in most localities increasing. And the men and women of those days were of strong and sterling character, with the religious element largely developed, who cheerfully sustained, by their contributions, influence and presence, the institutions of the Church, providing also funds for schools which were attended by a large number of sturdy scholars who were taught to obey rules and to conduct themselves with propriety. Such essentially was the state of things in this place at the commencement of my pastorate. There was not thena foreigner in the town, and nearly the entire population of suitable age and condition, attended public worship somewhere and rendered pecuniary assistance in sustaining the same. Probably there are not now more than twenty-five dwelling houses (certainly less than thirty) in the entire town, occupied by those, or their descendants, who inhabited them at the time of my settlement. The family name has gone from them, and not a few have changed ownership many times. This is a marvellous change compared with proceeding periods of the same length. It would doubtless • MARCH, 187 4 name. It may also be mentioned, as indicative of the great changes which a series of years may produce in a community, that not more than eight or nine couples, sustaining the relation of husband and wife, who resided in Holden at the time of my settlement are now here with the union undissolved by death. But let it by no means be understood that all changes, which have occurred, should be put to the account of loss. Many of them have materially swelled the column of gain. This is doubtless true to a greater extent here than in many places where the percentage of change has been the same as ours. But mutability like this, in parochial affairs, cannot but render all religious interests comparatively uncertain and unsystematic, being the occasion of anxious watching and careful planning, and not unfrequently laying heavy burdens upon the ready and willing. I wish here to bear witness that during my ministry, and to this day there have been a goodly number of men and women, both older and younger, who have evinced a highly commendable degree of interest in sustaining the institutions of religion in this community, and in making generous and cheerful provision for the wants and comfort of the pastor. " Dividing the forty years into decades, I married during the first ten years one hundred and twenty-three couples ; the second ten, one hundred and three; the third ten, fifty-five, and the fourth ten, sixty-seven. The first ten years I married more than during the last twenty. This difference is largely due to a change in population, in respect to both age and nationality. " I have attended more than u thousand funerals, which have taken me to a large portion of the dwellings of this town. In running my thoughts over the place I indeed find scarcely any, except a few more recently erected, to which I have not been called on this sad errand, and to many over and over again. " I have preached about four thousand sermons, and spent with you more than five years and a half of time in Sabbaths. I have administered the sacrament of the Lord's Supper about two hundred and forty times. While I had strength to devote much time and labor to interests outside of pastoral works, 1 regarded it both a duty and priviledge to afford direct aid in the promotion of the prosperity of our schools, both common and select. I served as chairman of the school committee thirty-four years, and derived much satisfaction from the exercises of the school-room, and the intimate acquaintance 1 formed and kept up with the successive classes of scholars. There are not now nearly so many who attend our schools as there were forty years ago, and so on for twenty or thirty years after my settlement. In several districts the present number is not half so large as in those days, and moreover . 19 fifth in the Winter and Spring of 1843, the sixth in the Spring of 1950, the seventh in the Spring of 1851, the eighth in the Winter and Spring of 1866, the ninth in 1857-8 and the tenth in 1889. A very large proportion, indeed nearly all who have united with the church during my pastorate were the fruits of these revivals. The church has not been altogether unproductive in some special fruits. At least eleven of her sons have received a college education during this period, and several others previously. At least seven have become ministers of the Gospel and seven young women have married ministers within this time. Since the commencement of the enterprise of Foreign Missions two from this church have gone on missions to Turkey, two to Africa, three to the Sandwich Islands, two to the Indians of our own country and two to labor for the Freedmen. 0( this number all, with two exceptions, have gone from us during my pastorate. Few country churches or indeed city churches can furnish a record of numbers for such service equal to this." There are three churches in the town, viz: Congregational, Baptist and Catholic. The existence of a Catholic Church in a small New England town, indicates most forcibly the change in the population, for a half century ago there were but few Catholic churches in any part of New England. The rapid increase has been to accommodate the large accession to the population from Ireland and Canada. Large numbers of French Catholic Canadians have come to New England to labor on the farms and work in the manufacturing villages. During a visit to our native town in 1869, a native of Ireland informed us that at least thirty farms in the town had been purchased by his countrymen from the Emerald Isle." " In view of such rapid and radical changes as are now in progress, it becomes a question of serious moment, What is to be the " future of New England f " Although we have left that part of the world and never expect again to make it our home, still we feel as we have always felt, a deep interest in its history, institutions and prosperity. We find our thoughts continually recurring to our native town, so cosily nestled among the hills of New England and under the shadow of Wachusett Mountain. It was so named after Samuel Holden, a director of the Bank of England, London merchant, and member of Parliament. The family was decidedly Puritanic, and took much interest in the prosperity of New England. After his death, from an estate of £80,000, •• Holden Chapel " was built in Cambridge, Massachu- pupils then continued their connection with schools to a later and more mature period of life than is customary now, which it seems setts.

In those early historical researches, we found our lines of investigation continually running back to old colonial times, and from thence to Old England, called by Hawthorne, the American's Old Home." It was a study of New England history, which made us feel so strong a desire to visit England, and when that privilege was granted us, we felt more and more, that England and America were linked by family bonds and kindred ties, which ought never to be sundered by the hoarse sounds of war or any other cause. While looking back with su<;h loving regard to New England and to Old England, our love for " Hawaii nei "is strong and abiding. Here we have found a pleasant home, and we feel strongly attached to the people of these islands, both aboriginal and foreign. The present troubles which have come upon the people and kingdom, only make us feel a strong desire that these clouds of adversity may soon pass away and the sun of prosperity may again •shine upon us. " I»7 4 Our Late King. The people's King has passed away. We do not wonder that they loved him. There were noble traits in his character, although blurred by foibles. He never failed to express his sympathy for the common people, and his will—an outline of which will be found in another column—is in beautiful harmony with his democratic principlesThen too, his marked affection for his mother and desire that his remains should finally repose near hers, in the old Mission Cemetery, will always be spoken of with admiration. May his successors profit by their reflections upon his eventful but short reign of only one year. Peace to his memory. Our sympathies go out towards his venerable and honored father, and long may his kindly presence be seen amongst us. .

Christianity their better minds yield, at least, a passive assent to it. And very many of them have proven by their actions that they yield a hearty assent.

This Damio's wife and children with several other members of his household are regular attendants at the Mission schools and meetings. The Mission families ore crowded and almost oppressed with the number of visitors who come every morning to family worship and to hear the Bible read and explained. We have 33 young men in the Kobe Mission Day School, all of whom manifest a decided iuterest in the Scriptures. Rev, D. C. Green has an audience every Sabbath in our school house, of from 60 to 90 persons, who come to hear him expound the Scriptures, and many of them seem to be Letter from Japan. l FRIEND, y a late mail, we received an interesting formerly r from Japan. Tbe English teacher at Kauai, Maui and at Hilo. He went to Japan hoping to find employment as a teacher, and although his prospects are not as bright as he anticipated, he still finds encouragement to remain there as a teacher. He writes from Kobe under date of Dec. 3d, 1873: " I arrived in Japan at u rather unfavorable time just as the nation was passing through a financial crisis. Last year the demand for foreign goods by the native Japanese was very great. It was considered as a badge of polite distinction to dress in foreign clothes; it was supposed by many that the whole nation was about to adopt European dress. The native merchants stocks of foreign bought and ordered goods. The foreign merchants also ordered large stocks on their own accounts. Many millions of dollars worth of goods were thus imported into the country to supply an imaginary want which never had an existence. earnest searchers after truth. A similar Much of these goods were bought on credit work is going on in the city of Osaka, 20 to be paid for in installments of 90 days, 6 miles from here, and we are cheered and months, etc. When these installments be- comforted in the bright prospects which came due there was of course no money to we believe are before us.

Many verses are known, which, if repeated aloud, are credited with curing cramp, burns and other bodily troubles. When you have whooping cough, apply for a remedy to the first person you meet riding on a piebald horse—a ceremony that Dr. Letsom, the physician, was fated more than once to become acquainted with. Amulets hung in a little bag around the neck, are very widely credited with the power of warding off diseases ; the list of such substances is an ample one, but need not be given here. The anodyne necklace, which was a profitable affair for one Dr. Turner, in the early part of the present century, consisted of beads made of bryony root; it was believed to assist in cutting" the teeth of infants around whose neck it was hung. One peculiar kind ofamulet is the phylactery, a bit of parchment on which a few sacred words have been written ; if worn on the person it is a safeguard against disease and calumny. The Jews in the East used to carry such an amulet written with a Hebrew verse from the Bible, and some of the Mohamedans with an Arabic sentence from the Koran. A horseshoe is a perennial favorite as a harbinger of success. Dr. James picked up a horseshoe on Westminister bridge, and put it in his pocket; the same evening he made a commercial arrangement concerning his famous fever powders, which he ever afterwards attributed to the horseshoe."— All the Year Round. Discoveries at Troy.—The reading pub- lic has recently been much startled by the explorations of Mr. Schliemann at Troy, in Turkey, or Asia Minor. He reports to have come upon the very ruins of the Palace of Priam, King of Troy. We were somewhat surprised to learn from a letter recently received from a Professor in a New England college, that Prof. Schliemann is an American citizen. We quote as follows : " Prof. Schliemann is an American citizen, having made his fortune in California, and having married a Greek wife, now lives in Athens, and has offered his treasures for a Museum to the Greek Government, if they will permit him to exhume Delphi and Olympia." Will of the Late King.-The late King left a will, which was made June 7, 1871. It leaves his personal property to his father absolutely; his real estate to his father for life, and failing heirs of his body, after the decease of his father, the real estate is devised to three trustees, to be appointed by the judges of the Supreme Court, who are to sell it, and of the avails the sum of $25,000 is to be expended in building an Infirmary for poor, aged and infirm people of" Hawaiian birth or extraction." A codicil was executed by His Maxesty on the 31st of January, 1874, by which he leaves to Queen Emma his Marine Residence at Waikiki, upon his father's decease. It also directs that the excess of the avails of his real estate, over the sum of 525.000 shall constitute a fund for the support of the benevolent object mentioned in tbe Will; and further, that his remains be entombed in the Kawaiahao Church Yard. The estate may amount to $100,000. Oaxette, Feb. 11. — �IHE FRIEND, MARCH, 23 1874. DILLINGKHA^M~& CO.

We think the following statement which we have no doubt is a true one, should lead all friends of the temperance cause to united effort in stopping, as far as possible, the sale of ardent spirits the world over : — Sixty Thousand. Tramp tramp ! the" boys are marching; how many !of them ? Sixty thousand!— Sixty full regiments, every man of which will, before twelve months shall have completed their course, lie down in the grave of a drunkard! Every year during the past decade has witnessed the same sacrifice; and sixty regiments stand behind this army ready to take its place. It is to be recruited from our children and our children's children. ' Tramp tramp tramp'—the sounds come to us in the echoes of the footsteps of the army just expired ; tramp—tramp tramp the earth shakes with the tread of the host now pass- — — — — tramp—tramp—tramp—comes ing; to us from the camp of the recruits. A great tide of life flows resistlessly to its death. What in God's name are they fighting for? The privilege of pleasing an appetite —of conforming to a social habit—of filling sixty thousand homes with shame and sorrow—of loading the public with the burden of pauperism—of crowding our prisons with felons—of detracting from the productive industries of the country—of ruining fortunes and breaking of hopes—of breeding wretchedness and disease—of destroying both body and soul in hell before their time. The prosperity of the liquor interestcovering every department of it—depends entirely on the maintenance of this army. It cannot live without it. It never did live without it. " Does any sane woman doubt that her sex are suffering a thousand times more from rum than from any political disability? " The truth is that there is no question before the American people to-day that begins to match in importance the Temperance question. The question of American Slavery was never any thing but a baby by the side of this; and we prophesy that within ten years—if not within five—the whole country .will be awake to it, and divided upon it. The organirations of the liquor interest, the vast funds at its command, the the universal feeling among those whose business is pitted against the national prosperity and the public morals these are enough to show that, upon one side of this matter, at least, the present condition of things and the social and political questions that lie in the immediate future are appre- " " — hended. The liquor interest knows there is to be a great struggle, and is preparing to meet it. People both in this country and in Great Britain are beginning to see the enormity of this business—are beginning to realize that Christian civilization is actually poisoned at its foundation, and that there can be no purification of it until the source of the poison is dried up."— Scribner's Monthly. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mr. Murrkay's Lecture on Missions.—ln our last issue we published a letter from one of our correspondents, commenting upon this subject. We notice that the religious newspapers are sharply calling the Pastor of Park street Church to account for his strange utterances. A recent letter from that quarter contains the following : The rebound caused by the Key. Mr. " Murray's lecture is doing tenfold more good in behalf of Missions, than the lecture has done to discourage them—so seeming evil under Providence is often made, to our surprise, productive of the greatest good." Foreign The Chinese Mission.—As was stated in a former number of this paper, the Young Men's Christian Association of this city had invited Aheong, (so well-known on these islands as a missionary among the Chinese several years ago),and thattheydesired him to come here again and labor amongst his people, and while promising him a good support while thus laboring, were willing to become responsible for his passage here to the amount of two hunered and fifty dollars. Advices from San Francisco per Comet showed that the above amount was rtlfcufficient to cover the expense of getting him and family to Honolulu. So by vote of the Association one hundred dollars more was added, making it three hundred and fifty dollars ; and it is now hoped that before the the close of the present year, we may see him at work amongst his countrymen and laboring for their salvation.—[Com.

K7" It is our practice on the arrival of a vessel of war to send off a file of the Friend but it is not often we have the favor acknowledged as was done by the Ward Room officers of H. B. M. S. Teneelos, who sent to the Home, a large bundle of English papers, including Saturday Reviews, Illustrated London News, etc. Such favors are always very acceptable. Editorial Amenities.—Perhaps we may subject ourselves to attack and censure, but we do wish our editorial neighbors would conduct their discussions without descending to the use of language which the same gentlemen would not employ in the intercourse of life. Readers abroad, we are confident, will draw inferences far from correct in regard to the tone of society at Honolulu. “ThOLelaivf—is Ka the name of a neatly printed monthly, edited by the Rev. H. H.

The inspectors of these articles at that place were Ebenezer and Samuel Wilson. The latter gentleman (invariably known as " Uncle Sam ") generally superintended in person a large number of workmen, who on this occasion were employed in overhauling the provisions purchased by the contractor for the army. The casks were marked "E. A.—U. S." This work fell on the lot ola facetious fellow in the employ of the Messrs. Wilson, who, on being asked by some of his fellow-workmen the meaning ef the mark (for the letters " U. S." for United States, were then almost entirely new to them), said " he did not know unless it meant Ebbert Anderson and 'Uncle Sam ' Wilson." The joke took among the workmen, and passed currently; and Uncle Sam himself being present, was occasionally rallied by them on the increasing extent of his possessions. Many of IStse men being of a character denominated h food for powder," were found shortly afterward following the recruiting drum and pushing toward the frontier lines, for the double purpose of meeting the enemy and of eating the provisions they had lately put in good order. Their old jokes, of course, accompanied them, and before the first campaign ended, this identical one first appeared in print. It gained favor rapidly, till it penetrated and was recognized in every part of our own country, and will no doubt continue to do so while the United States remains a nation. It originated precisely as above stated, and the writer of the article distinctly recollects remarking, at a time when it first appeared in print, to a person who was equally aware of its origin, bow odd it would be should this silly joke, originating in the midst of beef, pork, pickles, mud nnd salt, becomes a na- The Rev.

WilaLmogonG tWe would acknowledge pur special indebtless to this gentleman, who has repeatedly t to our address through the mail, books, pamphlets and papers. If we may form our | opinion of a man, from the character of books which he writes and distributes, we should infer that Mr. Logan, has a heart of benevolence, so large and generous, that, in it a planet " might swim," as was said of another good man. Some years ago, Mr. Logan sent us several copies of a book entitled, " Words of Comfort for Parents' Bereaved of Little Children." This is a volume of nearly 600 pages, containing selections of prose and poetry, relating to the death of infants. It is a most charming volume. Here are to be found the very choicest effusions ever written by divines and poets, relating to the little ones taken away in the morning of life. Mr. Logan appears to have been afflicted himself, and for consolation has gathered the very choicest gems, from the wide range of Christian literature, and republished them in this volume, respecting which, the Quarterly North American Review thus remarks, " A richer treasury of consolation in human words could hardly be compiled." This volume is highly recommended by both English and American writers. By the hut mail we have received another volume from Mr. Logan entitled, The " Early Heroes of the Temperance Reformation." This volume contains much iteresting and valuable information relating to the temperance movement in America, Ireland, Scotland and England. In his researches he traces the origin of efforts for the suppression of intemperance to old Massachusetts. It appears, that it was in the old Bay State that the effort sis first made to put down the Monster Intemperance." That was in " 1811, or about sixty-three years ago. A society was formed in Massachusetts, for the suppression of intemperance in 1813. The Rev. Dr. Humphrey, subsequently President of Amherst College, began to write and publish upon this subject, in 1813. It was in 1826, that Dr. Lyman Beecher preached and published his " Six Sermons on Intemperance," which created such a moral revolution. It was this publication, remarks Mr. Logan, that first gave Dr. Beecher a reputation in England. Our limits will not allow us to notice this work more extensively, but we rejoice that the reformation from intemperance having once started, has not ceased, and mew the really good of all sects and creed*, and many Kno iss creed, are laboring energetically to supthe great and destructive evil.

Mott Smith, then of Finance, an effort was first made to raise funds among the mer- J chants and citizens. It proved quite successful, and in less than one week over forty thousand dollars were pledged for the purpose. The sum finally contributed by citizens was $42,5000, for which bonds were issued, payable at the end of five years from Oct. 16, 1871. It was understood fhat the subscribers to the fund were not to become shareholders in the building, but that the risk of the enterprise was to be assumed wholly by the GovernThey, however, were invited to ment. choose two persons to confer with the Cabinet regarding the erection of the hotel, and the appropriation of the funds. Messrs. L. „L. Torbert and C. H. Lewers were chosen for this object. Thus, mainly through the personal efforts of the Minister of Finance, was the project began, and the ways and means provided. Soon after this Dr. Smith purchased from the 'Catholic Mission, as a site for the hotel, the Hooper premises, with the adjoining lots known as the French premises on Alakea street, and the Friel premises on Richard street. The sum paid for these three properties, including a costly iron fence on the way from England, was ten thousand melons, &c., etc. .Minister ' dollars. The entire building is lighted with gas, and over two nundred burners are provided. The gas is produced on the premises in a large machine manufactured by the Pacific Pneumatic Gas Company of San Francisco. Although its cost was heavy—some four thousand dollars—it has been found the cheapest mode of lighting the house that could have been devised. The sleeping rooms are all furnisned with new furniture, imported expressly for the hotel. The beds are fitted with the best of spring and hair mattrasses, and every thing necessary for the comfort of the guests has been provided. Probably no building in Honolulu was are to be had at nearlly every seasons, and guests ever put up more faithfully than this hotel, every part of which was constructed with a view to strength and permanency. The roof is covered with the best English slates. From the cupola, which surmounts it, a fine view of the city and surrounding country can be had, stretching from Diamond Head on the south to the Waianae mountains, twenty-five or thirty miles distant to the north-west, and having the clear ocean in front with the Konahuanui mountains in the rear. Unless we except that from Punch Bowl or the Bell Tower, no view in Honolulu surpasses it. The dining-room, occupying the whole of the north wing, excepting a small cut-off at the west end, which can be used as a private dining-room or reading room, is one of the finest halls in the city. It is 75x32 feet in size, and is capable of seating one hundred and eighty guests at meals, or when needed as an audience hall, a still larger number. The cuisine department in this as in every hotel in a new country is the most difficult part to manage. When Mr. Herbert took charge, he found it next to impossible to supply his tables with sufficient variety to suit his guests. But after becoming acquainted will generally find the table well provided with meats, vegetables and fruits. Only fresh island butter is served to the guests, and this article, as well as eggs and milk, is always obtainable, as choice as produced elsewhere. Ice is mnnfactured in the city, and can generally be obtained ; while for water, no purer or healthier is found any where than what flows through the government pipes from the clear mountain streams of Nuuanu Valley. The Hawaiian Hotel was leased by Mr. Allen Herbert early in 1872, and since its opening on the first of March in that year to this date, about fourteen months, the names of two thousand guests have been recorded TBese guests hail from on its register. neariy every country in the world, and as a general thing, they have invariably expressed themselves delighted with the establishment and with their sojourn at it while in the city. The large number who have patronized the establishment is the best evidence of the necessity and convenience to the traveling public. And as we look back two years ago, wewonder how Honolulu ever existed without such an institution. Its location is most desirable one, in- a. quiet grove of shade trees, contiguous to the with the Chinese gardeners, and with natives main avenues, and within six minutes walk dealing in fruits, vegetables, poultry, &c., from the steamer wharf.

From my earliest infancy I have been a lover of flowers; and many of the happiest hours of my life have been spent in flowering rambles. And I think with you that a true lover of flowers cannot disbelieve in an all-powerful Creator, and that God's own works are the strougest proof of His existence. When exploring the dense forest for lumbering purposes, I have had good chances for beholding nature in all her lovliness and grandeur. And I think it impossible for any reflecting mind to traverse the wilds of nature, and not be inspired with devout feelings towards the Author of them all. And 1 believe it was one of God's designs, in thus beautifying the earth, to lead the minds of men through them to himself. " Then you do not agree with the author of ■' This world Is all a fleeting .how For man', illusion given.l* " No, most assuredly not; although a divine, I think his heart must have been a dreary waste, and devoid of all kindly instincts. Instead of tha-world being a fleeting show I believe it lo be very substantial, and radiant with glory. It is only diseased minds that behold no beauty in God's creations; everything was created for man's happiness and it is false perceptions of God and his designs in creation that brings woe and misery to our minds, causing us to fall into mischief and wrong actions which brings a corresponding condemnation." " " Indulging in wrong acts obscures the moral vision and places a barrier to that sweet and confidential communion which existed when reason controlled and governed action. And that barrier will continue to exist until we yield obedience to natural law. Obedience to which law places us in position to hold sweet communion with nature's Uod, who sheds copiously upon all obedient children the dews of heaven. There is a well spring of joy constantly flowing through their hearts which causes them "to He s. city set upon a hill whose light cannot be hid." There is a halo surrounding those who live obedient to natural law. Hale in body, sound in mind, correct in habits, with a conscience void of offence towards all his kindred he is prepared to go forth, and hold sweet communion with his Maker, and read bbsbbbbbb IHHbbbbbbbbbbssbbbbbbbbsbbE bbssbbsbsbbbbl which to unlock the human heart, charity and mercy are aids by which it can be educated. As darkness flees before light, so does ignorance vanish before knowledge. When a man or woman feels sympathy for his or her kind, charity for ignorance, mercy for sin, on that heart is plainly traced the writings of the Divine hand, and blessed is that life, its " peace flows like a river." Happiness is the earnest wish of us all, then why not start on the right road which leads to it ? Relieve the destitute, pour consolation into despairing hearts. There are various ways in which to bestow happiness upon others; and bestowing upon others is the surest way to bring happiness to ourselves. Money cannot make us happy, loving friends are powerless to create happiness for us. It is within ourselves the " jewel lies and fools are they who roam." Friends may add greatly to our enjoyment and minister greatly lo our happiness, yet the seeds of that happiness must be sown and take root in our souls, or the genial rays of friendship cannot cause them to expand and bring forth fruit. There are many opinions as regards the right road to happiness, but I belive the surest way to find the right track is to look upward and within ourselves for light. God's greatest gift to man is reason and when he prostrates that at the feet of another, and choses for his guide a human being, he may expect a guide prone to err, one fallible as all mortals are. We may lose confidence in mortals, but while the mountains stand and the oceans roll we must ever believe in a supreme Power, a grand Creator, whose voice through nature speaks plainly to our reason ; whose providing care and love call forth our deepest admiration, humblest veneration, profoundest love. All we see, hear, and feel, only tell us in unmistakable words that God is everywhere, and happy are those who understand natnre's language. Orphan Boy. Agassiz's Compliment to America.—We have often thought that Professor Agassiz complimented the United States in a manner peculiarly grand! When the Emperor of France, Napoleon 111. ivnited Agassiz to return to Europe and prosecute his Scientific Researches in Paris, Agassiz declined the honor, replying that he considered the New World a much better field for enterprise and labor than the Old World, this was true, as regarded hiajfl island. "As Mr. Buffett is not here at present, I write to thank you and the many kind friends at Honolulu, who are quite unknown to us personally, for sending us the things that we are most in need of. Mr. Buffett has left us for Norfolk Island, perhaps you may have heard of this before now. " It is sweet to think that though separated far from each other we have friends at Honolulu and elsewhere, who are interested in T>ur welfare, temporal and spiritual. You said in your letter that a few Sunday school books were forwarded, which are very acceptable. We have received the articles from H. B. M. S. Cameleon all safe, but as we are quite too busy to unpack them we cannot know what the different articles are, but as it is, we heartily thank you for your kindness in thus caring for our wants. "We have had a very long drought, so that we could plant uothing, indeed every thing seemed to be scorched up. But God in His great mercy has given us rain, for he takes care of those who trust in him. " Our young people have a Mutual Improvement Society on Wednesday evenings instituted on the 10th of June last, we hope and trust that the blessing of the God of Bethel will rest upon them. On Sunday evenings we have a singing school for sacred music which is quite a delightful recreation. Two of onr young men are gone with Mr" Buffett to Norfolk Island in the whale ship Sea Ranger, Capt. Allen ; we are expecting them back every day." Letter from a Sailor.—In our issue for October, we published a letter from a sailor who had passed through many vicistiudes on board United States vessels of war and merchant ships. At last he returned to England, but finding a shore life not quite to his mind he embarks for India via the Suez Canal. By the last mail we received a letter from the young man dated Scind Delhi Sc Pun" jaub Railway, Lahore, Northern India," where he is engaged as assistant engineer on the railroad, with a fair prospect of promotion.

EdabioCtemyhfY.M.C.A. The following essay was read before the Young Men's Christian Association of this city, on Friday evening, Jan. 23d, and elicited interesting remarks from Messrs. Dole, Lyons and Walker : Lotteries.—Webster gives the detinition of a lottery " as a scheme for the distribution of prizes by chance. :i Another author defines it as "a sort of gaming contract, by which for a valuable consideration, one may by favor of the lot obtain a prize of a value superior to the amount or value of that which he risks." The true definition in plain English should read thus, a method of popular gambling. We read that lotteries have often been resorted to by Governments as a method of replenishing their exhausted treasuries, also by charitable institutions as an easy and successful way of procuring funds for public good. Lotteries are not of late origin, for on investigation we find that the Romans, as far back as 1530, adopted this plan of raising funds for state purposes. The merchants of Italy resorted to this method of disposing of their-merchandise, as far back as the middle ages. The government of France, is said to have derived, between 1816 and 1828, the enormous sum of 14,000,000 francs yearly by lotteries. In Germany the lotteries were under the supervision of the government, the pro- ceeds of which were used as a means of supporting workhouses, and other institutions of a similar nature. The first English lottery on record took place in London 1569, at the west end of St. Paul's Cathedral, the proceeds of which were for the purpose of rebuilding the harbors of the kingdom ; it is stated that there were 40,000 tickets disposed of at ten shillings each. From that time this method of gambling continued in popularity, until 1778, when it was found that there were no less than 400 lottery offices in that kingdom, and that the evils of the system soon the increase, that it began to attract the attention of Parliament, and an Act was passed obliging each office to pay a license of fifty pounds per annum, and through this tax the number was decreased from 400 to 40. Lotteries have been established in the United States from the time of the earliest settlement of the conutry. Through this agency, funds for the erection of colleges, hospitals and other charitable purposes have been raised, which could not have been so easily accomplished by any other means. Though the lottery was denounced by an assembly of ministers in Boston, in 1699, "as a cheat," and its agents, as pillagers " of the " generally popular, people. Lotteries were till 1833 when a society was formed in Pennsylvania, expressly to suppress them. In 1834 this society issued an address to the public, showing the evils resulting from lotteries. It was through the efforts of thia society that many of the States took legislative measures of prohibition. Notwithstanding that lotteries have been so popular throughout Europe and the United States, we find thateach country mentioned has prohibited them as far as possible, by laws, and even in some States have inflicted punishment on those who were transgressors. One of the principle reasons why the lottery has been branded as an evil to a country, is because of the disastrous results to a large part of the community who can ill-afford to bear them. Whenever a lottery takes place we generally find that it is mostly patronized by the poorer classes rather than by the rich. Such are drawn away from their regular and legitimate business ; in hopes that they may be made suddenly rich by the lucky lot falling to them. As no lottery takes place without a large percentage of profit to the agent, that amount is procured and withheld from a class who can least afford the loss, and suffering to individuals and families is the consequence. Where lotteries of magnitude take place, such as the one held a few years ago in California by permission of the legislature, for the benefit of the Mercantile Library Association, the evils are greater, not only creating intense excitement in the minds of those who participate in the chances, and thus unfitting them for mental efforts in business ; but ilso holding out greater temptations to those who hold positions of trust, to use moneys that are not theirs for the purchase of chances, hoping thereby to make a gain for themselves, and then to return that which was so unlawfully borrowed. Many such cases took place in said lottery and many young men lost character and were ruined by that lottery. Those who are so unfortunate as to have one of the lucky numbers and draw rich prizes, are not often benefited thereby; but generally illustrate the old proverb, " Easy come, easy gone'" To those who say, see what a benefit the proceeds have brought, we will answer that they are not equal to the evils they have left behind. We find at the present day lotteries in many forms, and even held out as a temptation to children. For the prize candy system, is nothing more or less than a disguised lottery. In fairs, the grab-box, where the grabs are of unequal value, so as to stimulate their sale, also where a cake is sold by the piece one of which contain a ring or coin, these are also forms of lotteries, but many countenance them under the argument, that the proceeds are all for the good cause," and therefore there is no harm. But is there no harm in thus instilling the principles of the lottery, in homcepathic doses sugar coated sweetened with benevolence ? Now that we have looked at the lotteries of other countries let us bring the subject home and ascertain as to whether they and their influences have crept so far away in the Pacific as we are. " come a favorite way of disposing of goods, and found very attractive to the natives; it is unnecessary to speak of its influence on them. If this system increases as it has done the evil effects will soon be clear to us all. Is it not time to look to this subject in reference to the future ? We have now no direct law against lotteries, but would it not be well, that we as members of the Young Men's Christian Association should do all in our power to ward oflf this nuisance ? Now that the Legislature is soon to convene here in Honolulu, should not we use what ifluence we have for direct legislation on this subject ? If lotteries have been branded by larger, wiser and older nations as an unmitigated evil, the day is not far distant when we shall arrive at the same conclusion if they are permitted to continue. Let us therefore do battle against this evil and everything that has a downward tendency in our land.— Topic Com. for Jantianj. We are glad to see the effort made here in Honolulu, to stop the sale of liquor to natives, and trust no pains will be spared to bring the offenders to justice. We could wish, however, that there were more of those now concerned in the liquor traffic, that would follow the example of the landlord in the following : Scene from Life.—A young man entered the bar-room of a village tavern, and called for a drink. " No," said the landlord, " you have too much already. You have had delirium tremens once, and I cannot sell you any- more." He stepped aside to make room for a couple of young men who had just entered, and the landlord waited upon them very politely. The other had stood by silent and sullen, and when they had finished he walked up to the landlord, and thus addressed him : " Six years ago, at their age, 1 stood where these young men now are. I was a man with fair prospects. Now, at the age of twenty-eight, I am a wreck, body and mind. You led me to drink. In this room I formed the habit that has been my ruin. Now sell me a few glasses more, and your work will be done. 1 shall soon be out of thjfl way; there is no hope for me. But can be saved ; they may be men again. Do not sell it to them. Sell to me and let me die, and the world will be rid of me ; but for Heaven's sake, sell not a drop more to them! " thetffi The landlord listened, pale and trembling. Setting down his decanter, he exclaimed : it does not take long to examine ourselves "God helping me, this is the last drop I and to find that verily we are not free from will sell to any one !" And he kept his word. them here. Indeed there is scarcely a week in the year when there is not a lottery in "Every evil to which we do not succumb is progress here in Honolulu.

Reviewers, Essayists and Historians have speculate and write about the destiny and perpetuity of nations and races. " The last of the Mohegans," and the last of the Tasmanians," have passed away in our day. History records the last remnants of many other races and tribes. Much is now written about the Polynesian race, and its probable destiny. Hopeful and confident as some may be respecting the inhabitants peopling the beautiful islands of Polynesia, yet there are laws underlying races that must not be ignored, when Polynesians, Tasmanians or Europeans arc concerned. Niebuhr, the great German historian, whose researches have revolutionized all the histories of ancient Rome, which were in use prior lo the nineteenth century, has laid down some principles which will apply to modern ns well as ancient races and nations. not ceased to " Ninteenth Annual Report of the Honolulu had not enjoyed the advantages here proSailors’ Home Society. vided.

It is believed that during the past year this object has been steadily kept in view by those who have had the management of the Home. Mrs. Whitteus, who was the manager at the opening of the year, retired in June, and the establishment then passed into the hands of Mr. E. Dunscombc. From January to June, 96 seamen were accommodated in the Home, principally belonging to the English and American, vessels of war in Port. He thus remarks: In order to effect a satisfactory settlement " For every race of men has received the destination assigned to it by God, with the with Mrs. Whitteus, and provide for the character which is suited to it and stamps it." future, the executive committee purchased Again.

We do not remember to have seen a finer display of the kind than on this occasion. The orchestra was literally covered with flowers, and the large bouquet on the organ was one of the most elegant ever seen here. The Sunday School exercises consisted of a lesson illustratingChrist as the Rose of Sharon. A cross was prepared covered with a circle, on which appeared the words "Jesus the Rose." As each letter was brought up, a class repeated a verse or verses of Scripture applicable to it. At the conclusion of of the recitation and singing, the Pastor, Rev. W. Frear, delivered a short address appropriate to the occasion.— Gazette.
