Reciprocity will Enrich American
and Ship Owners.
Merchants
'It is taken for granted that a Reciprocity
Treaty will prove beneficial to sugar planters and all others residing upon the islands,
both natives and foreigners, though we are inclined to think, that the golden harvest will
not prove quite so abundant as some imagine.
Respecting, however, the profit to American
merchants and ship owners, we have no
doubt./ A few days ago, we were coming
ashore from the U.S. S. Benicia, and the
■officer sitting by our side remarked, as we
were admiring a trim newly painted and
handsome American brigantine about to sail
fsr Oregon, " that craft is coining money for
her owners." This remark led to a similar
one respecting a certain clipper bark running
between Honolulu and San Francisco. Now
/here is a small fleet of sugar and lumber
vessels plying between the islands and the
coast. There is no doubt these vessels are
running most profitably for merchants and
ship owners. As the officer remarked these
"
vessels are coining money for their owners."
Now, we argue that a Reciprocity Treaty
will increase tenfold—the number of these
barks, brigs and schooners flying like shuttles between the Hawaiian Islands and the
western coast of America, the natural market for our sugars, rice, bananas, and other
products, while our islands form a market
for manufactures and products of the United
States. Last year—lB73—according to
Custom House returns, these islands export-
Ed to the United States products to the value
of $1,139,725.81, while imports from the
United States amounted to $529,982.08.
Reciprocity would quicken trude, multiply
vessels laden with products of each country,
and enrich not only the Hawaiian Islands,
but merchants and ship owners on the coast.
What the East India Islands are to Europe and
the West India Islands to the Atlantic States,
the Hawaiian Islands will prove to the Pacific
Coast of America, if commerce is increased
and our products find a good market. How can
we buy goods unless our products find a good
market ? For two hundred and more years
the cities of the United States on the Atlantic Coast have been trading profitably with
Cuba, Jamaica, and other neighboring islands. Portland, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cities have
grown rich from trade with those islands.
San Francisco, Portland and others will derive similar benefits and profits from a quickened trade with Hawaiian Islands,/

relevant to the establishment of his claim as

some few additional incidents of interest in
the history of his favorite hero. That Henry

might better understand them if buffeted

the fears of nnvigators early in the fifteenth
century, —not only in the ignorance of the
sea, but in the weakness and ill appointed
condition of the ships that had to venture on
an obscure and stormy ocean path ; and so
we can understand that when Lancelot Gilianez, one of Henry's lieutenants, doubled
Cape Bojador in 1434, his exploit awakened
as great an interest, and excited Europe

him in behalf of his beloved country all political authority forevermorc over all tho
new found lands acquired by his enterprises
of ocean navigation and discovery. The
great and enterprising Prince was sustained
by an enlightened pope,—and he who was
esteemed the king of kings in 1432, Martin
V., issued a bulla from the Vatican, granting
unto Prince Henry in behalf of the crown of
Portugal, the suzerainty in perpetuity over
all territories, states and kingdoms, which
should be discovered by Portuguese navigators, in the regions lying lieyond Cape Bojador unto the Indies, and all new countries of
the African and Indian seas eastward unto
the great ocean, whose princes and whose
peoples were heathens; and furthermore
there was granted to all the officers and mariners of Henry a plenary indulgence, and
ampin assurance of everlasting bliss in heaven, —should they perish in carrying out the
designs of their great patron. ;1 Ah! this
was success for Henry,—who had been

his countrymen and the other peoples of Europe were only aroused somewhat to recognize the correctness of his views and the
wisdom of his enterprises, when the shining

the Iberian Peninsula then became the starting points aud chief sources of European enterprise, and of all modern progress in navigation, discovery and trade. Portugal alone

a century in advance of others,—and Henry

THE FIRST EAST I.MIIA COMPANY.
But the best result of Henry's success
was the stimulation of private enterprise.
The first gold fever of modern times then
set in, and affected nil the noble and daring
youth of Portugal. Lagos became a great
expeditionary port, in which private companies were formed, and from which private
expeditions set out. Gilianez, the bold navigator who had doubled Cape Bojador, formed a company along with three of his friends,
Alonzo, Alvarez and Diaz, who had some
property, and who owned ten caravels ready
for sea; and they obtained a charter from
Prince Henry in 1844, which authorized
them to prosecute discovery, colonization,
and the quest of gold on the coast of Guinea.
This was the first company of adventuring
traders and colonizers, upon the model ol
which the Spanish, English, Dutch and all
subsequent East or West India companies

sought the new Portuguese field of adventure. Their governments were so deeply
interested in the lucrative overland trade
with India, which they had controlled as a
source of commercial pre-eminence in Europe for ages, that they would not offer the
slightest encouragement to the new African
and ocean enterprise of Portugal, which
threatened an interference with their monopoly. Therefore their sons of genius, who
had no employment in this monopoly and
who thirsted for noble maritime adventure
outside of the Mediterranean, hastened to
the generous court of enterprise of our illustrious Henry, who promised glory and reward in unknown seas. There came Antonio dc Noli and Cadamosto the Venetian,

THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 18 74.
THE FOUNDER OF DISCOVERY AND THE DISCOVERER.
One is tempted again and again to reflect
upon and regret all the possibilities that
would have attended an earlier visit of Columbus to Portugal. Had he come at the
same time with Noli, Perestrello, and other
able Italians, he would no doubt have becon|p one of Prince Henry's captains, and
have discovered America much earlier than
he did. Or perhaps he would not have
sought a new world by pursuing an occidental ocean course, because this purpose was
conceived after long residence in Portugal
and at Puerto Santo. His whole idea, even
when he decided upon a western course, and
when he sailed from Palos in 1492, was to
reach India by a direct sea way, which
Henry conceived and planned and tried to
have carried out, as far back as 1416, when
like an inspired youthful apostle, he sent his
first missionaries of discovery to sail along
the coast of Africa in order to pass round
its southern bounds unto Eastern Asia. And
so had Columbus joined the Prince at Lagos,
—the ardent, enterprising, and persevering
nature of this Italian adventurer,—greater
than that of Cadamosto, Noli, Perestrello,
Gilianez or other captains of Henry, would
have been readily employed, and he would
in accordance with the Prince's plans have
pushed on the route to India, by way of the
African coast; and have anticipated dc
Gama in doubling the Cape of Good Hope ;
and if he ever discovered America, it would
have been most likely by voyages eastward
of India, and so after first finding America
by a Pacific route would most reasonably in
following up his career of discovery have anticipated Magellan by the circumnavigation
of the globe.
WHY COLUMBUS SAILED WEST.
It may be asked, if the Discoverer of
America entertained only Prince Henry's
idea of reaching India, and Marco Polo's
Cathay and Cipangu, by a direct sea route,
why did he not continue to confine the accomplishment of his purpose and enterprise
to the African 1me of coast ? It must be
borne in mind that when the Genoese adventurer arrived in Portugal, the government and the private enterprise of this country, stimulated by her great Prince, had
been actively engaged for about seventy
years in the quest of the African-Indian
ocean route. Lusitanian enterprise, preeminent over all the rest of Europe during
the fifteenth century in the pursuit of ocean
navigation,—as influenced by the genius of
Henry, had confined its energies to the opening of its direct Indian highway. This enterprise was in the full tide of activity, when
Columbus arrived. He resided in the center of its influence at Puerto Santo, and
took part in its action, in voyages to the
coast ef Guinea with his brother-in-law Correa. 8 And when here, working his part on

The Chinese Empire.
According to Mr. Michel's statistics, the
population of the Chinese Empire is 369,-000,000, which is about equal to that of
North and South America and the whole of
Europe combined. If all the inhabitants of
the world were gathered together in one
place, every third person would be a native
of the Chinese Empire. We are certainly
assured by the promise of God, that the people of all nations shall be converted to
Christ; and, as we consider the immense
majority of those happy redeemed spirits
which shall be gathered from among those
nations which are of dark complexion to
praise God through endless days, over their
Caucasian brethren, who shall be saved, we
are constrained to exclaim, " God's thoughts
are not our thoughts, neither are o_r ways
His ways." " The way of the Lord is perfect." We feel convinced that these great
masses of people will not be wholly convert-
ed until the Jews shall first be restored to
Christ; according to the word of God written by Paul, "If the fall of them be the
riches of the world, and the diminishing of
them the riches of the Gentiles, how much
more their fulness," and, "If the casting
away of them be the reconciling of the world,
what shall the receiving of them be, but life
from the dead." Rom. xi. This glorious
period when " nations shall be born in a
day," is very close at hand, and it is our
faith that the day is not far distant, when all
the Chinese Empire shall by the power of
the Holy Ghost, turn as one man unto the
Lord Jesus Christ, as it were "in a day."
God has indeed been manifesting His grace
unto this people within a few years. For
twelve years prist the number of conversions
in the Protestant churches have doubled
every three years. Nevertheless the spirits
ual wants of this vast empire are very great
and sad to contemplate, and there is
More Help Needed.
We are often led to inquire, Can nothing
more be done to reach the masses ? There
arc, io the same province with Ningpo,
eleven walled cities of the first rank, each
containing from 200,000 to 500,000 inhabitants. There are, besides, nearly 100 walled cities of the second and third ranks, conand 200,000 inhabitaining from 50
tants; besides aldffst innumerable market
towns and villages, large and small, which
crowd the plains. So that there are in all,
between twenty-five and thirty millions of
people in this province, and it is the smallest of the eighteen. How are these multitudes to be reached and evangelized ?

Pure, religion and undeflled before God, the Father, is this:
To visit thefatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspottedfrom the world.
A Safe Investment.
Theodore L. Cuyler has some admirable
suggestions on this subject in a late number
of the N. Y. Independent :
It seems like investing a long way off to
be laying up treasures in heaven; but this
is a mistake. Heaven is very near to God's
children. The leagues thither are shortening every hour. Whatever we lay down
here to please Jesus, will be laid up there.
How rich some of Christ's millionaires will
be ! Paul will have a magnificent inheritance. All the mighty service he wrought
for human souls will be to him a shining
crown. John Bunyan, alone in jail, comforted himself in the thought that he had
led souls to Jesus. How many thousands
will thank him for leading them to heaven !
I love to think of Robert Raikes, as surrounded by hosts of Sunday School children
in Paradise. They will be a part of his
to-day at Waterbury. Rev. John Quinn of
Waterbury was chosen to be head vicar of
the Connecticut delegation in the national
convention of the American union at Chicago, Oct. 7, Jas. W. O'Brien, of New
York, secretary of the national organization,
and several Catholic pastors of the State
made addresses. Rev. Lawrence Walsh, of
Hartford, was re-elected President of the
Connecticut union. Preparations are completed for the State parade in this city tomorrow. Thirty bands have been engaged,
and 3000 men will be in line from all parts
of the State. There is considerable excitement among the Catholic population here in
view of the great demonstration of their
church for total abstinence, the greatest
attempted since the time of Father Mathew.

"He found him, in a desert land, and in a waste

Dear Sir :—We respectfully request you to allow
the publication of your address delivered at
Fort Street Church, on this day of public Thanksgiving and Prayer, set apart by the King as he is
about leaving His Kingdom to visit the United States.
We are convinced that you have given expression to
the sentiment of this community in the loyal patriotism which binds Americans to their native land,
while their lot has been cast here, and also in their
sincere wishes for the religious and the material prosperity of the Hawaiian race.

requires a grand sweep of centuries and historic
cycles to witness results produced by remote
causes lying bid in tbe dim twilight of legendary
antiquity, but upon Hawaiian shores an ancient
system of idolatry is abolished as if by the wand
of the enchanter, and old feudal institutions
crumble away and vanish like tbe dissolving
views of a keleidoecope or magic performance.
I would now remark that the Hawaiian nation
honored God by its ready and cordial acceptance
of Christianity, as tbe religious faith and belief
of tbe nation. The idolatrous system of this people was abolished in the months of October and
November, 1819, coeval with tho departure of

their arrival, the way was fully open for the
preaching of a new faith, and that the gospel of
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Observes a
lute writer, in a London Magazine, who is reviewing the history of the Hawaiian Islands, subsequent to tho abolition of idolatry and the arrival of missionaries,
It is curious to read in tbe
annals of a not inconsiderable monarchy, that the
King and his younger brother (referring to Kaniehameha 11. nnd 111.) with twelve chief men
and as many chief women, were now learning to
read and write. Marriages begun to be celebrated in connection with tbe public worship of
the mission. Tbe King requires rest on the sabbath, with a penalty for disobedience; and tbe
crier goes round on Saturday evening to proclaim
tho new law." Rome was not built in a day,
neither did the Ilawaiiansadopt Christianity without much labor on the part of their teachers.
Just twenty-one years, however, to a month from
the abolition of idolatry, or on the Bth of October,
A. D. 1849, the Hawaiian King and chiefs formally adopted the Christian religion, nnd bases)
the Constitution of tbe Hawaiian Kingdom tipun
the religisu of the Bible, using die following
"
language:

to give perfect protection and prosperity.
Wherefore we first present our supplication to
bim that be will guide us to right measures and
sustain us in oar work. It is therefore our fixed
decree, that no law shall be enacted which is at
variance with tbe word of tbeLord Jehovah, or
at variance with tbe general spirit of bis word.
All laws of tbe Islands shall be in*consistency
with tbe general spirit of God's law."
For more than thirty years since that emphatic
and distinct recognition of tbe Bible and tbe God
of the Bible in tbe affairs of the Hawaiian nation,
the general tone of all legislation has been in
harmony with the noble and Christian stand
then taken. Individual kings, individual chiefs
and multitudes of the people may bare fearfully
dishonored God, bat as a nation, when acting in
its collective capacity, tbe Hawaiians havebeen a

schools and Christian missionary societies. These
are all to-day in nctive and successful operation.
I cannot dwell upon these facts minutely, but
these efforts of the Hawaiians arc known to the
world. In proportion to their means, their enlightenment and the obstacles which they have
been compelled to encounter and overcome, I am
fully confident no nation is now more fully entitled to the name of Christian. Among this
people, as well as among the people of the most
enlightened Christian nations, there is much over
which tho oyc of pity weeps, and over which
Christian charity would gladly draw a veil. There
is much of truth in the remarks of Mr. Jjordhoff:
Though the Hawaiian is no more a perfect
Christian than the New Yorker or Massachusetts
man, and though there arc still truces of old customs and superstitions, tho missionaries have
eradicated tho grosser crimes so completely, that
oven in Honolulu people leave their bouses open
all day and unlocked at night, without thought
of theft; and there is not a country in the world
where tho stranger may travel in such absolute
safety as in these islands."

then, when Elijah thus reasoned, God had seven
thousand in Isreal who had not bowed tho knee
unto Baal. I maintain that tbe Hawaiian nation
has honored God by upholding the great principle
of religious toleration. Each Christian communion enjoys full religious libcrtv nnd freedom to
worship God according to tho dictates of tho individual conscience. The separation of church
and state is as marked and distinct as in the
United States of America.
The Hawaiians have honored God, nut only by
thanks to Almighty God, when the
evil, miseries, and havoc of war are contemplated.
While this little Kingdom has enjoyed threescore

vinoe guidance and protection were especially invoked in behalf of His Majesty, the pulpit was filled
by the Rev. Dr. Damon, who preached an admirable
discourse from tbe text, Tbem that honor Me,I will
honor." He showed how the spirit of this country,
ever since its first dawn of religious light bad been to
honor God, whose mercies thus far had never failed it in
its hour of need. But weneed not comment here, as we
print the discourse in full on another page. Bat this
we will sny,—that the discourse breathes a spirit of
unbounded charity and hopefulness. Some may
criticise the optimism of the Reverend Gentleman,
but it is in accordance with the spirit of noble humanity and wide Christian charity, that leads him to
accept the universality of Christianity under various
opinions, conditions, and denominations. He partook
of the holy rivalry mentioned by the Reverend
Father in the Church across the way, and we must
say, that notwithstanding wo have our preferences in
the exercises of worship, we were happy to-day to be
present at so many different shrines, where fervent
prayer, earnest words, and the sweet voices of choral
singers lifting up our hearts with sacred melody, inspired tho warmest emotions of brotherly love and
Christian sympathy.
At the native Church of Kawaiahao, tho regular
thanksgiving services were held in tho morning, the
Pastor, the Rev. 11. 11. Parker, preaching a sermon
appropriate to tho occasion, before n large audience.
But the culminating proceedings of the day were the
services held in this church from 12 o'clock until 2,
whiosfwere attended by their Majesties tho King and
Queen, His Royal Highness, Prince Lclciohoku. their
Royal Highnesses tho King's Sisters, Her Highness
R. Keclikolani, the Hon. Mrs. Bishop, the King's
Ministers, and tbe members of His Suite. An extensive platform had been prepared on a level with the
pulpit, on which tbe Royal party was seated in a semicircle, their Majesties in the centre. The exercises
were opened with the Hawaiian version of God
Save the King," sung by the choir, the immense
Badience joining and accompanied by the Band.
After prayer by the Rev. Mr. Kuaea, and a hymn by
the choir, came the oration by Mr. Kuaea, an eloquent retrospect of Hawaiian history, wherein the
speaker maintained that the nation has great reason
to give God thanks for the many blessings and privileges enjoyed in the past. He gave brief sketches i»f
the Sovereigns who have reigned, from Kamehame!.»
I. to Lunalilo, their characteristics and their sets,
and finally concluded in substance as follows:
Finally we Co ue to King Kalakaua 1., whose motto
is Hooulu Lahui." The "-or ..cation that weighs
upon his mind is the saving of this nation. To ac-complish this is the aim of his existence, and if be
accomplishes bis desires the independence and life ol
this nation will be maintained. But life and death
are in our own hands, this whole nation are digging
their own graves. Bo not think your King can save
you. He can only tell you what you should do, con
only be a guide for yoa. You must save yourselves.
This question is a hard one to answer do not puzzle
yourselves to solve it, for you cannot.do it. Oh, for
some prophet, lo solve this mystery—l win be the
prophet to give this answer. It is this: Let every
parent gather bis children together, place around

both daughters and sons, wander away into the paths
of evil. In this way alone will this nation be saved.

who is doing to much for as and our country. We
mast give ourselves up soul and body a sacrifice to
God. We must ask God to protect our King on his
journey. Let as pray God to control the winds and
still the waves that He maybe returned to us in safety. We mast pray that the heart of the King may
trust in God and in Him alone ; that He may not
trust in himself, nor in any man, but in the King
of Kings."
Tbe oration was followed by singing The Hymn
of Kamebameba," by tbe choir, the words being
composed by His Majesty and the music by Mr. Berger. At the conclusion of the Hymn, His Majesty
arose, and stepping forward spoke as follows
Mr People On this the first anniversary of my
birth-day occurring after my accession to tbe Throne,
I have thought it fit and proper that it should be
made a day of national thanksgiving to Almighty
God, for His many mercies and blessings to us as a
people; and, as it occurs on the eve of my undertaking a long journey to a far country, that you may
also on this day Implore the Divine protection for me
in my absence, and a blessing on my mission.
Iv tbe history of nations, we may learn that it is
no unusual thing for tbe Head of one Government to
visit that of another for the purpose of seeking the
welfare of the people. It is for this purpose,—in the
endeavor to forward the best interests of you, my
people,—that I am about to visit the seat of government of our good friends, the United States of America. That Government has given another instance of
its friendship to us, by placing one of its war vessels
at my disposal to convey me to its shores. To-day,
our country needs tbe aid of a Treaty of Commercial
Reciprocity with America in order to ensure our material prosperity, and I believe that if such a Treaty
can be secured, the beneficial effects will be soon apparent to all classes, and our nation, under itsreviving influences, will grow again.
It is with these impelling motives and hopes that
I now reluctantly bid farewell for a time to the
dear land of my birth, and to you my people. In
conformity with the Constitution, I bave appointed
His Royal Highness my brother, to act as Regent
and Head of tho Government during my absence,
feeling confident that in bis hands tbe conduct of
affaiis will be safe. And I ask for him, the Queen,
and my sisters, tbe tame consideration and loyalty
that you bave accorded me.
Let yeur united prayers asceml to the Almighty
that He will grant me His protection during my
absence, a prosperous termination to my mission,
and a safe return.
Tho King's remarks were listened to with marked
attention, and in the pauses were greeted with
laud applause. Then followed singing again, after
which Prince Leleiohoku made an eloquent address. In the course of bis remarks, he compared
tbe country In the present condition of stagnation
and business decadence to a ship becalmed on the
ocean, without a breath of wind to propel it along,
but which In reality waa gradually going astern.
Tbe captain, anxious that the ship shall move
ahead on her voyage, leaves bis comfortable cabin
and qaarter-deck, and getting into a boat, goes
ahead and endeavors to tow the vessel out of the
calm. "That," said the Prince, "la what your
King is about to do; he leaves his throne and his
country to go and labor abroad in the Interests of
you, tbe peaple. And while your King is thus
exerting himself on your behalf in a foreign country, what are you going to do yourselves? In
what way can yon second him in his endeavors T I

thrifty. Let the laty drones, who wear One clothes

honest occupation, and earn their food by tbe
sweat of their brows; not be consumers only'but
producers as well. In this work of bringing about
tbe prosperity and recuperation ot the people, let
every one And something to do. and don't allow it
to be said that you, the people, stand idly by, while
Your King does all.*'
The Prince spoke earnestly and at length, frequently eliciting the applause of the audience. Then
came a piece of music finely rendered by the Hand,
after which His Excellency J. M. Kapeua, the Governor of Maui, (who accompanies His Majesty on his
journey) spoke a few words of farewell.
The exercises concluded with the singing by the
choir, with tine effect, of the " Hawaiian National
Hymn," the words and music composed by the Princess Lydia Kainakaeha Dominis, His Majesty's eldest
sister. We givean English translation of the Hymn
Father Almighty ! Lord of all!
:
Incline Thine ear to hear out cull;
The nation lift- iia voice to Thee,
{suppliant in humility,
That pence and order still may reign
O'er these fair inlands ol the main;

Stretch out, U Lord, Thy saving hand;
With patient love guard Thou our land;
So may we stand and live to be
A nation sav'd to honor Thee.
Long live our sea-girt, &c.
:
Thus concluded tho public observance of the first
anniversary, since his accession, of the birth-day of
King Kalakaua, and all must acknowledge that it
was most fittingly celebrated.
[From the Alts California, October
Nth.]
Hawaiian Reciprocity.
Among the passengers wbo arrived yesterday,
from Honolulu, are Elisha 11. Allen, Embassador
to the United States, empowered and instructed to
negotiate a reciprocity treaty with our Government, and 11. A. P. Carter, who accompanies him
as Commissioner, to co-operate in the negotiations.
King Kalakaua will follow them, leaving the Islands in the American war ship Henicia about tbe
middle of November. We welcome the two diplomatists to our shores, and commend them to the
favor of our merchants and officials. /Even if, in a
business paint of view, reciprocity shoultl not
prove a source of much direct profit to us, it
should still be granted. The Hawaiian Kingdom
is suffering a severe business depression. A large
part of its income has been cut off by tbe decline
of whaling. There seems to Ire only one mode of
relief, and that is, in reciprocity with our Government. We, who alone can render this service, are
under many obligations to do it. We are bound
to tbe Hawaiians by geographical proximity, by
commercial and social intercourse in the past and
in the present, and by joint commercial and industrial interests in the future. The prosperity of the
Islands will contribute to the wealth of California,
to the importance of the commerce of the North
Pacific and to tbe popularity and patronage of tbe
California route from Western Europe to Eastern
Asia. We trust that the Pacific. Coast delegation
in Congress will listen with favor to Messrs. Allen
and Carter.
[from the Ban Fr»,nci»co
Chronicle. October 30th.)
California and the Hawaiian Islands.
/ Tbe geographical position of
tbe Sandwich Islands is such as to make it a matter of very great
importance to tbe United States that they should
not fall into the possession or under tbe influence
of any foreign power.| The area of tbe entire
group is only some 6,670 square miles ; the papulation does not probably exceed 80,1101). Hence,
whatever importance the islands may have is
chiefly derived from their position in the Pacific,
their admirable harbors, some of tbem protected
by barrier reefs of coral, and their value as a naval station. A*he predominance of American influence in the Pacific demands that neither France
nor England, nor any other European nation
should be permitted, under any pretense, to establish a •• protectorate over these
Yesterday the Hon. Elisha 11. Allen, Minister Plenipotentiary duly accredited by tbe Hawaiian Government, and H. A. I". Carter, member of tbe Privy
Council, arrived in this city en route for Washington. Their object is understood to be to negotiate
a treaty of reciprocity between tbe United States
aud tbe Hawaiian Kingdom.
some years the
trade between the islands and tbe Pacific Coast
has been steadily diminishing. Tbe Australian
colonies coveted that trade and sought to secure it
by reducing duties on imports. We impose an
average duty of three cents per pound on the raw
sugar that comes to this port from the islands,
while tbe duly in the Australian ports does not
exceed one cent per pound. It would seem to be
clearly for the interests of the country at large,
and it is certainly for the interest of California to
establish tbe relations with tbe Hawaiian kingdom
which it is the object of the present Embassy to
promote. For a period of twenty years tbe Hawaiian Government has been anxious to make a
reciprocity treaty with tbe United SrltesJ There
have been Presidents and statesmen who were in
favor of it ; hut the Senate has been uniformly
opposed to the idea. An objection often urged
against reciprocity is that it would diminish tbe
revenue. Such diminution in this particular case
would be too trifling to bave in itself any weight
in influencing tbe policy of the Government. A
much more important consideration is the establishment of tbe precedent. If we adopt the policy
of reciprocity with the Sandwich Islands, on what
grounds are we to repudiate that policy when
urged upon us by Canada for instance. Practically and in its material results the question of
reciprocity with tbe Sandwich Islands is not one
of vast importance, but as a precedent and the indication of a general line of policy it is a matter
of no little consequence.
"
Strangers, yet Friends.—Several months since,
a gentleman arrived in this city from one of the
Colonies of Australia, an invalid in search of
health. Modest and retiring in his habits, he made
few acqaintances, and so remained a stranger, in a
strange land. The disease with which he was
afflicted was rapidly sapping the fountains of life,
and on Tuesday be breathed his laat, and was
buried on Wednesday. But he was tenderly cared
for to the last by the Fraternity of which he bad
become a member in another land and under prosperous circumstances, and when all was over his
mortal remains were escorted to the tomb and
reverently laid to rest with the touching and impressive rites of the Order which be loved and had
adorned, the members of which in this far off isle
of the sea were to him strangers, yet friends. The
person to whose death and burial we refer, was

With this number closes another year of
The Friend. As on former occasions, so
now we would respectfully acknowledge our
indebtedness to friends, patrons and subscribers for their many favors. We expect to
issue on the Ist of January, 1875, the first
number of volume 32, but we fear unless
our friends, donors and subscribers are
prompt and punctual, wa shall not close the
year without a debt. Our subscribers will
remember that they have not until now
been called upon for the year 1874,and they
will favor us by paying the amounts due, to

During the last month we have received
from C. R. Bishop, Esq., $10.00 ; Captain
Owen, bark Jireh Perry, $5.00; Captain
Fisher, bark Java 2d, $4.50. To meet the
actual cost of our paper distributed gratuitously during the past year, we ought to receive this month at least one hundred and
fifty dollars. Shipmasters, officers, seamen
and others have, always expressed much satisfaction in receiving a fresh copy of the
Friend, on the first of the month. Now it
is not unreasonable to ask those friendly to
the enterprise, to lend us their aid. The
smallest favors thankfully received! In
former years we were wont to receive aid
from English and American vessels of war,
and we hope the good practice is not abandoned.

BY REV. H. H.
M'FARLAND.
The recent gift of £300 in gold, by the
Scotch Countess of Aberdeen, to the American Seamen's Friend Society of New York,
brings freshly to public notice the remarkable career of her son, the sixth earl of that
name. All things considered, his life, for
the four years next before its close, was
more wonderful than any fiction.
It is the story of a nobleman who came
to this high earldom at the age of twentytwo, enjoyed it for twenty-six months, then
laid it by of his own accord, and four years
afterward died as first mate of a Boston
schooner bound for Melbourne, having been
a sailor in subordinate position on American
vessels for nearly all the time from May,
1866, to January, 1870. During this period
his assumed name was George H. Osborne;
but he did not keep his family in ignorance
of his whereabouts. On the contrary, he
wrote to them repeatedly, describing his
voyages; and it is now supposed that all
his lettert.v'but two were received.
letters were answered, but the replits did
not reach him. Most of them went back to
their writers from American post-offices. It
was when this correspondence ceased that
his friends began the investigations -which
assured them of his death, ana familiarized
them with his extraordinary life.
The question why he undertook it baffles
inquiry. Evidently not from necessity. He
was neither pauper, invalid, nor misanthrope.
He was not a despondent, a do-nothing, nor
a roue. Health of body and of mind in him
were excellent. He was very skillful in
shooting, and rowed a boat with the utmost
vigor and endurance. He had practical
knowledge of affairs quite uncommon for his
age and position. His education was of a
high order; his disposition cheerful and
kind; his whole spirit very much the spirit
of Christ.
The key to his strange career is likely to
be found in an intense passion for sea life,
cherished from his boyhood. It is probable,
also, that he intended, after voyaging a

Mothers Losing Sons at Sea.
In our columns will be found a most interesting sketch of the Earl of Aberdeen,
lost at sea. The Countess of Aberdeen is
not the only mother, however, who mourns
the loss of a son. By a late mail a letter
of inquiry was received by the Chaplain, respecting Charles A. Ambler, of Natick,
Mass., and on making search we found that
he belonged to the unfortunate and ill-fated
boat's crew of the James W. Allen. A letter from the young man's mother now lies
before us, which we have answered by communicating the sad news. This letter
breathes the warm and anxious affection of
a mother hopingand praying for her Charlie,
far away in the Arctic Ocean, whose remains with so many others rest in the depths
of the ocean, to await the time when the
" sea shall give up its dead." Writes the
young man's mother:
I am going to write this letter hoping
you will answer it, for your poor mother

�EDITOR'S TABLE.
History of the United States from the
Discovery of the American Continent.
By George Bancroft. Vol. X. Boston,
1874; Little, Brown & Co.
History tells us that Homer rehearsed his
immortal poem, The Iliad, in the hearing of
his delighted countrymen, and that Herodrtus—the father of history —repaired to the
Olympic Games and there repeated in
the hearing of the assembled hosts, the
story of his travels in foreign lands.
We may envy the old Greeks who were
permitted to listen to Homer and Heroditus, but there is one privilege modern
readers enjoy, which was denied to the ancients. It is the privilege of cutting the
leaves and reading a volume of some favorite
poet or historian, printed on purely white or
tinted paper. Such a reflection was suggested, as we opened and read Bancroft's
tenth volume of the History of the United
States.
It has been reported that this volume has
been a long time in the printer's hands, but
its publication was delayed because Mr.
Bancroft wished to verify a certain document by comparing the copy with the
original, carefully preserved in some of the
of Europe. This only leads
that Mr. Bancroft appears to
have far outstripped all former writers on
American history, in his unwearied and indefatigable research among the public and
private libraries and family histories of both
Europe and America. From the immense
mass of materials thus gathered, he has been
able to solve many perplexing and doubtful
points in the history of his country.
The reading of the tenth volume reminds
us of the pleasure we enjoyed, when a boy
in college just forty years ago, of reading
the first volume published in 1834. Thus
Mr. Bancroft has published a volume, upon
an average, once in four years. At that
time he was principal of Round Hill School,
Northampton, Mass., but has since been called to occupy some of the highest and most
responsible offices within the gift of the
President and people of the United States,
having been at one period Secretary of War,
and more recently Ambassador at the Court
of Berlin. Not only America but Europe
and the world know how honorably he has
acquitted himself in the latter position.
During all these years he has steadily kept
at the ope point announced in the preface to
his first volume, " I have formed the design
of writing a history of the United States
from the discovery of the American Continent to the present time."
The tenth volume brings down tbe narrative of historical events to 1782, when the

that if they were all right they would set
their sail, so that they could be seen. As*
the approaching squall threw a dark gloom
on the water, he could not see them ; no
boat could be seen, the snow squall enveloped the spot where they were. He then
made sail for the spot with the ship where
the boat was last seen. When the squall
blew over nothing was to be seen of the
boat. The mast heads were manned by the
sharpest-eyed men on board, as all felt anxious for the safety of the boat's crew. When
the ship reached about the place where they
were last seen, she wore round, standing a
short distance on the opposite tack, with the
American ensign set at the peak, to call the
attention of the bark Triton, which was to
windward and steering down towards them,
in hopes they might see the boat, and if she
had struck a whale and had been towed to
windward to render assistance. The bark
then came down, spoke the James Allen
and luffed to under her lee. The James
Allm wore off to cross to leeward, when
they saw an oar and two hats; lowered a
boat to pick these things up, not knowing
but there might be a man. The next moment they saw the boat off the lee quarter,
bottom up, with not a soul to tell the sad
story. Capt. Kelley says, from the appearance of the boat, he judged they had struck
a whale and had been drawn down by the
line getting foul, in which case they could
not have kept afloat longer than ten minutes, as it was bitterly cold, and the ice making very fast, the spray freezing as it struck
the ship. The lines in the boats were frozen
stiff, and the captain thinks that it was from
this cause that the line got foul. The
names of these unfortunate men were John
Norton, chief mate; Alexander Collins, boatsteerer; Thomas Barker, John Seypan,
Charles Ambler, Charles Beyer, seamen.
This sad occurrence cast a gloom over the
spirits of the whole ship's company and put
an end to a promising season's work.— Gazette, Nov. 11.
Massacre of- the Crew of the Lapwing.—The
arrival of the Bcliooner Jessie Kelly from New Caledonia, after a six days passage, brings tbe news
ot another dreadful massacre at Santa Cruz Island
(New Hebrides), near the scene ol tbe murder of
Bishop Patteson. Tbe particulars we bare gleaned,
are from Captain Christopher, late master of tbe
schooner Bruce, wbo arrived here as passenger in
the Jes.te Kelly, and who got his information from
the crew of the W. S. Fox, which reached Noumea
just before his departure. Tbe Lapwing was a
cutter of about forty tons, and sailed from New
Caledonia about eleven months since, witb a crew
of lour white men and several natives, on a bechle-mer voyage in the New Hebrides Group. The
cutler having fulfilled her mission, preparations
were being made for tbe return to Noumea, but
she was short of provisions. The mate left the
cotter with a native boat's crew to endeavor to get
provisions from tbe natives of Santa Cruz, and
while the boat was close in shore the inhabitants
of the place made a combined attack upon ber,
Snd either clubbed or tomahawked all excepting
�one Tanna dative, who escaped In tbe boat and got
clear of the island. An attack was then made upon
the cutter ; and the master and tbe rest of the orew
were killed, and tbe cutter seized and destroyed.
The Tanna man was picked up by H. M. schooner
Sandfly, cruising in the vicinity, and conveyed to
Sandwich I.land (New Hebrides), from whence
the W. 8. Fox sailed. The Lapwing was owned in
New Caledonia.
It transpired tbat H. M. schooner Sandfly. Lieutenant Howell, when at Ssnta Cruz, was nearly taken
by tbe natives ot tbe island. It is reported that
sbe was at anchor in a culm, und the crew were all
below at dinner, one tniui only being on the lookout; but the ship's gun wus louded and all tbe rifles
fully charged in case of an emergency. Several
hundreds of canoes, It is stated, surrounded the
Sandfly with the evident intention of attacking her.

New Mission on Papuasia.
We have received a letter from the Rev.
VV. G. Lawes, who is connected with this
mission, dated Sydney, Oct. 3d, 1874. We
copy as follows :
There is no doubt about the natives of the
southeast part of New Guinea, speaking a
dialect of Eastern Polynesia.
You doubtless know that the Ellengotcan
arrived at Cape York early in August. She
steamed out through the canal and via Singapore and Batavia. At present Cape York
on the Australian coast will be tie headquarters of the mission. Mr. McFarlane is
there now, and I should have been but for
unavoidable delays. Mr. McF. has lived
among the Papuan race at Lifu, and to him
will naturally fall the Papuan branch of the
mission with the Loyalty and New Hebrides
teachers. My experience being with Eastern Polynesia, 1 take the Maylayan branch
and superintendancc of Rarotongan and
Ninean teachers. If the last reports are
confirmed, then Mrs. Lawes and 1 will go at
once to Port Moresby on the mainland and
take up our abode there. The John Williams has just gone; she has six Rarotongan and five Savage Island teachers on board
with their wives, all going to New Guinea.
Bye the by, where did you get " Papuasia " from ? Ido not think I have seen it
before.
Editorial.—The writer asks for our authority for using the term " Papuasia " in
the May number of the Friend. It is our
present impression that we saw the word in
the
" Ocean Highways, or Geographical
Review " of London. Is not " Papuasia "
as proper as "Australasia "?

anxiety and expense. It has been our privi- obey this
lege to attend two annual meetings of ihe
Board; one at Portland, Maine, in 1851,
and the other at Pittsburg, Perm., in 1869.
Hence we infer what must have been the
nature of the meeting at Rutland. It is a
capital plan to hold these meetings in different parts of the country. An interest is
thereby awakened among the people, which
could not otherwise be aroused.
Aside from the reports much interest
usually centers around the gathering when
the sermon is preached. The Rev. Dr.
Scudder of Brooklyn, but formerly of San
Francisco, preached, and his discourse, as
reported in the Herald of the 7th ult., is a
spirited, earnest and " live production from
"
the text, " How shall they preach, except
they be sent." We can readily imagine
that the people h-aard him gladly." Dr.
"
Scudder was once a missionary in India.
He is the son of a missionary, and has a son
now on his way to India as a missionary.
He is one of a family of eight children,
six sons and two daughters,—all at one time
missionaries in India. The two daughters
married two British officers, who resigned
their commissions and became missionaries.
Such a man as Dr. Scudder may appropriately speak upon the subject of missions.
If our limits would permit, we should gladly
republish extracts from his discourse, which
we hare read with much interest.
Another interesting feature of this large
gathering, was the presence of the Rev.
Joseph Nee Sima, of Japan, who was introduced by Alpheus Hardy, Esq., with the
following address:
—

of Ibis number, for had it not been for thia board
I should have been a heathen to-day and there
would have been no hope for my country. If tbe
Christians in this country will continue to give
even but a little of their substance, my people
will be led with tbe bread of life.
Our country has sent about 300 students to different parts of tbe world to learn the best things
tbey can, but I am sorry that most of them are under infidel influence in Europe. Hut we need more
than education, we must have spiritual teaching
for our nation. Japan is your youngest daughter
or your faint young sister, and yet she is already
sell-supporting.
In a country like Japan the devil will sow seed
early. So we must go ahead of tbe devil und sow
gospel seed.
Tbe church in Kobe has no educational institution, but she must have something of tbe kiud. It
is repulsive to tbe Japanese mind to beg, but I
fear we must beg for that, for Christ says, ask and
ye shall receive. Therefore I ask you to give belp
enough to start tbis training institution, to raise
up teachers and preachers to help some 33,000,006
people.
Will you do it? I will not sit down until you
promise it.
