FIRST HAWAIIAN CENTENNIAL.
1778—January 18—1878.
On the morning of the 18th of January
one hundred years ngo, the ships under
Captain Cook's command approached this
group from the South Pacific. We find this
record in the journal of the voyage:
"We continued to see birds every day,
and between 10° and 11° we saw several
turtle. All these are looked upon as signs
of the vicinity of land. However we discovered none till daybreak on the morning
of the 18th, when an island made its appearance bearing northeast by east, and soon
after we saw more land bearing north,
entirely detached from the former."
The island first seen was Niihau, and on
the following day his ships anchored in the
roadstead of Waimea, Kauai.
The centennial anniversary of the discovery of the islands, was observed in Honolulu
by a royal salute (at 12 o'clock noon) of 21
guns from the battery on Punchbowl, and by
the 0. S. S. Petisacola and H. I. German
Majesty's ship Elizabeth. In the afternoon
Ihe marines and seamen of the latter, numbering about 300, marched out to the Kmlaokahua plains for the purpose of a grand

where. Then followed a " sham fight," wherein
redoubt was gradually approached by an assaulting army, and after a gallant defense compelled to surrender. Tho artillery, consistinp: of
two brass field-pieces, was managed with wonderful alertness. It was really a brilliant affair,
and much appreciated by the crowds of spectators
on foot, on horseback and in carriages."
In the evening a torch-light procession,
accompanied by a band of music, enlivened
the city by its marching through all the
principal streets. Thus has passed Hawaii's centennial, —it is for those who come
after us to observe the next. In the words
of Longfellow, we say, " Look not mournfully upon the past; it comes not back again.
Wisely improve the present; it is thine.
Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear and with a manly'heart."
—Since the above was in type, we have
learned that the Centennial was enthusiastically remembered at Lahaina, and we are
promised a publication of Mr. Gibson's Address. We have long hoped Mr. Gibson
would prepare something becoming the occasion and more permanent than a short address. We know that he has been " reading
up the history of Commerce and Discovery
in the Pacific oyer since Cape Horn was first
•• doubled," or the old Spaniard first caught
a glimpse of this ocean over the Isthmus of
Panama. We know of no writer who could
execute a work of this nature more skillfully
or elegantly than Mr. Gibson, whose facile
pen glides over paper as gracefully as the
smooth keel cuts the ocean's wave.

an infinite number of things which are pressing
on me in the way of study, it seems as if the

into the

knowledge <>f the language is beginning to light
the way, I feel almost perplexed before the many
ways which open before me. I send two copies
of the London " Literary World." I have been
much pleased with the Iresh healthy tone of the
criticisms on tbo most recent English books. 1
am euro you will enjoy tho outlook it gives in
current English literature. I have of late been
reading some of Joseph Cook's lecturos, especially
the last. VV bat a wonderful man he is. He seems
to hold a sword of flame. I heard about him
years ago when 1 was in college, but he had
almost laded out of mind till my remembrance
was quickened in hearing of his descent upon
Boston, where he seems to have operated like a
heaven-sent inspiration. 1 have board somo concerts lately. One. the Messiah of Handel, which
was grand beyond any words which 1 have at
hand to express, and they seem to have, stirred
all the music-love within me.
But I must hasten to give you my impressions
of Cologne, which I promised you in my last.
COLOGNE.
(The Colonia Agrippinensis of the Romans).
" There are cities and cities.'' Some of tbem
make one think of those sleek, shining poplars
which stretch away for miles, marking the highways in France straight as an arrow, disdaining
every curving line, precise and proper as if their
million leaves had issued from tho same mould.
But dow and then you come across one that
makes you think of a splendid old oak, half uprooted perhaps but which still throbs with an
irrepressible life, twisted and quaint and hoary,
from its giant roots to its verdant crest, a thing
of beauty, its net-work of branches and boughs
and billows of greenery, making a fitting home
lor singing birds, and casting wide generous
shadows in which travelers love to linger when
the noon sun grows bot. There are cities like
tboso houses which face me as I sit writing you,
and as I live in one on the same street, I can tell
you how they look within, from cellar to garret,
though I have Dover been in tbem, being confident they have been turned out by tbe same

THK FRIEND,
modern hotels and railway stations into its quaint
und shadowy past, something as you step from
the gorgeously ■' restored" church abovo into tho
cool, untouched, tiuje-ntnined crypt below, with
the feeling that you have reached something
more historic and attiactive in its plainness than
all the scarlet and blue and gold in the choir
above. Cologne will pay you for your study.
What a mistake two-thirds of our travelers make !
They see every city from Paris to Constantinople,
from Naples to Copenhagen, but become cilitens
of Done. Better one, which shall prove nn an
abiding and continual source of pleasure, than a
;
thousand seen a la Cook. People have forgotten
tho beautiful meaning as well ns the nrt itself of
Sauntering. That has disappeared with tho
pilgrim's staff and cockle-shell, a pilgrimage to
"Sainte Terre." And so it seems to me that
our travels should bo ; let us seek scenes rich in
mines of history and poetry and religion, which
shall indeed be to us Salutes Torres and see
them in such a manner that in after years they
shall come to us not with memories of feverish
haste and confusion but with messages of beauty

and inspiration.
One of the beat approaches to Cologne ie by
tho magnificent iron bridge which spans the
Rhine at this point, and seems a fitting entrance
to tbe "City of the Saints." This appellation
you feel convinced the city deserves, as you count
the spires snd towers and domes which face us as
we stand on our high perch above the Rhine.
The oity from thia point presents a very majestic
appearance, skirting the river as far as your eve
can reach, and kneeling at the feet of its splendid
Cathedral, which seems at last in a fair way to
realise that glorious vision which floated down to
earth oenturies ago. I like to think of Cologne
best at evening, at tbat uncertain time when the
day stands for a moment to look back at tbe
coming night, and aa if in token of friendliness
throws into its shadows showers of gold. Then
it is that tbe airy pinnacles and spires of her
churches glow and gleam, while the dusk has
come in ber streets below. It seems as if ths
city for the moment typified its history,—stand,
ing in its half-lights. They tell ns to look so far
back tbat were it not for the lights of many discoveries, and ancient records it would be hard to
find our way. The Übii came one day, little
dreaming of what Uy in the unborn oenturies
and crossing the Rhine made here their home.
And then when Christianity was yet young and
cherished only in a few loving hearts, the mother
of Nero, Agrippina, founded in A. D. 50, tbe
colony wbieb was at length to become tho city,
whose many bells at evening and morning chime
the triumph of that faith which to-day girdles
tbe earth. Cons tan tine has left here tbe mark of
his presence. Wave after wave of war has flowed over; bishops and archbishops have here ruled
and prayed snd fought; it has nourished trade
and commerce; cradled artists when art first began to portray for men heavenly visions caught
..
in the intervals of rest from war and bloodshed,
and risen into modern times as a busy, thriving
city, bringing to us of to-day ns its choicest
legacy from tho pnst the most beautilui Gothic
Cathedral the world knows, and giving the present the privilege of completing it, a privilege
which is not being disregarded.

This lolly pilo dominates the city, and the
country far boyond. In fact there seems something almost omnipresent about it. You cunnot
get awny from it. Sometimes in this pnrt ol the
country, miles away from Cologne, both in body
and mind, you chance to look about you and
there far oft' in the purple distance is the Cathedral. I have been down on the Rhine climbing
rugged Drnchcnfels nnd still far, fnr away on the
horizon nppciircd its faint outline against the
quiet sky, liko the mint of a forming cloud.
Every one comes to Cologne to see the Cathedral
and says "wonderful," a miracle," a piictii

of the"Gothic

art," but of court** this is vsWM nnil unsatisfactory. And yet no one in to blame, no one should
bo censured for being unnble to put into words,
that which is above words. You cannot describe
color to the blind und you fail if you attempt to
picture a Guthic Cathedral lo one who bus yet

has grown tired of travelers' "ruptures" and
descriptions which arc ns destitute of substance

Aim and peaceful history, but has grandly outridden its storms. Its foundation stone was laid
some six hundred years ugo ; dissensions arose
between clergy und people in the sixteenth century the work on it was abandoned; in tho
eighteenth the French used it as a hay magazine,
but its mission was not yet accomplished. The
kings ol Prussia came to its rescue. Enormous
sums of money have been expended on its completion and restoration and it is hoped that in a
few years it will stand complete perhaps to tell
to coming centuries of the energy of this. Wordsworth should have lived to have seen its grand
completion, though it will probably be accomplished in a far difi'crent way than that of which
be sings. You remember his sonnet
architectural genius as ours, and that they have
all tbe latest modern improvements and conveniences. (Have you ever beard of one of these
"modern brown stone fronts" being hauntnt or
.i» having a history ?)
But there are some few
cities which have in part drilled into our busy
nineteenth century whirl which arc neither like
the arrowy poplars or fashionable city houses,
but resemble more our splendid old oak. I talked to you so long about one last winter, namely
Goneva, that I am a little afraid of mentioning
another for lear that you may not like me to
start into its history. But they are so very different in many respects that perhaps you will
lingor with me a little in the narrow streets of
Cologne. You think in a moment of the cathedral and of " Johann"Maria Farina," nnd i-ny you
know as much about it as if you had been there
lorty times, for haven't a thousand and one people written about them ? But I tako it that the
majority of travelers on the Rhine don't see tho
host part of Cologne after all. One needs to live
near it and see it by degrees, to vit-it it again ami
again, diving down under its flaring Mirface of

Means not wholly angelic are being actively employed ; the bases of the two grand spires are
fully completed, scaffoldings of an enormous size
are filled with busy workmen, and little puffs of
steam come out from among the stone carvings
as splendid blocks and pillars, and capitals are
being raised into their place—far, far up in the
blue air, where in the years to come they will be
better seen by angels above than by men below,
I fancy. Ali day long the ring of the hammer
and chisel is beard from the stone cutters in their
blouses, who are turning out leafy capitals, columns, and all manner of ecclesiastical adornments. There is a bustle and stir about it,
which it not wholly in harmony with the typical
hush and repose of a dim and shadowy Cathedral,
and you forget your Gothic ecstacies sometimes
in your speculations as to the possibilities of a
fall from the scaffolding above. Then there arc
little matters to ruffle the calm surface of one's
esthetic dreams. After looking forward towards
a nearer view of this mysterious pile which has
loomed up lor hours before you as a guiding
pillar of "cloud," you come with eager expectation into the "place" whieli encircles it. But

ridiculous lor the moment and just a little moro

before you is mounting up towards heaven on tho
wings (pecuniary) of a successful lottery enterprise which the Prussian government under the

But alter a little, all these minor annoyances
fall away from you and in the presence of this

Architecture, as one of the fine uMS, speaks less
frequently to us than umsjc or painting or sculpture, hut when it does sneak there is a depth and
eloquence in its utterance which thrills one moro
truly than that of any of the others. There is
an infinite, indescribable "stillness," and calm
about these towering walls and thousand statues,
a calm which the countless advancing and receding tumultuous waves of life, of travel and
traffic at its base arc powerless to break. Please
don't fancy that I have grown wise in the intricate mazes of architectural art and science or that
I would affect a knowlodge which I am but too

that of laic, especially in the many visits 1 have
made to this growing glory of Cologn,, there has

thing, well adapted to keep off the sun and rain.

church which has '• petrified
the spirit or

which is as much an expression of devotion as

incense, can scarcely understand that grttdual

The Cologne Cathedral has not the wealth and
richness of adornment which lioautifies that of
Milan, but more ornamentation would I think
detract from its dignity. It is indeed perfect,
perfect enough I should think to strengthen every
tired soul that posses into its presence. Truo
enough in all its delicacy of finish in its perfection of sculptured capitals, though hidden almost
out of sight, in that union of tenderness and
strength to shame all that is craven and false.

and "The Early Christians "1 in tbe latter, if
1 am not very much mistaken, there is a graphic
account of the persecution under Diocletian. It
will always seem more real to me after this tangible reminder of these good men who fell viotims
to the fury of heathen Rome, in this out-poet of
the empire. Out again into these winding Cologne streets, almost as htbyrinthino as those of
Boston, accosting every other person we meet as
to the way, we come to St. Peters to see a picture
of Rubens. I forgot to look at the church in
looking at the picture, but I remember the way
in seemed very pretty, a cloister-like walk (with
little shrines, at one of which a woman was praying), hemming in a verdant bit of turt and
shrubbery. The attraction here is an altar piece,
representing tho crucifixion of St. Peter. You
have to pay to see it of bourse, but it is moro
than worth the fee. You see, tbe original picture is not as a general thing turned toward the
church. It swings on a pivot. There is a copy
of it, made by_ some artist or other whp would
have done well not to have put his work in such
close contrast with that ot a master-hand. For
a trifle they turn the real Rubens round for you.
You who are so wise in church history remember
the legend, how that Peter was crucified, in accordance with his humble request, head-downwards. It seems so like him, —just in harmony
with his splendid impulsive self, with his eager,
tumultuous, tender, loving intensely human-self,
so like him who straightway left his fisher's net
and followed his Lord, who boldly stepped forth
upon tbe treacherous waves, who could even deny
his Master and then repent in agony, and who
could in the last terrible moment of an awful
death seek one yet even moro debased than that
of Him who was lifted up for his sius. Of course
the whole strength of tho picture is centered on
this great figure. There are soldiers and other
figures engaged in their terrible task in fastening
the body to the cross, but these have rather faded
out of my memory. But I shall not soon forget
that powerful, contorted figure with the eyes
straining in this fearful anguish, the strong muscul.ir arms tenso as iron, the bronze skin which
tho wind and rain and sun had deepened as he
plied his oar on the Lake of Galilee, the crisp,
grizzled hair of tho valiant old man, and tbe
fearful tinging of the blood in that face so near
the earth. "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
me?''
Lord, thou knowoet all things; thou
knowest that 1 love thee."
We might go to St. Andreas, to St. Cunibert,
to St. Pantaleon, to Si. Maria in Capitol, the

JOllANN MARIA FARINA.
You know it is from this fine old city on tho
Rhine, that for many a year have flowed the fragrant streams of Eau de Cologne,'' known all
over the world. The original Farina seems to
have come a long time ago from Italy, and here
started the business of making the perlutue which
has borrowed the name of the Rhenish town. If
there was hut some way of doing it, I should like
to shower a fragrant rain of these perfumes on
you, or don't you need the sweetening? They
have a poor sort of joke about here, but good
enough sometimes to delude tbe unwary, namely
that so plentiful is this liquid that some people
bathe in eau de cologne;
and you oan yourself make the boast if you see fit to come here and

Woman's Influence in the Pacific.
We have often thought of writing an
article upon the good influence of woman
when cruising on shipboard in the Pacific.
There is no question but the wives of Protestant missionaries in Polynesia have been
most potent in the spread of Christianity.
We would now referto the hoppy influence
of the wives of shipmaster*. When visiting
ships in Honolulu hnrbor, it always aflbrus
us delight to learn thaf the shipmaster is
accompanied by his wife. A word of good
cheer comes to us upon this point from an
old and retired missionary of the London
Missionary Society, now residing near
Sydney, but formerly a missionary on Aitutoki, one of the Hervey group. He writes
under date of Nov. 14th, 1877, ns follows :
" My object in writing this is to beg you
will do me the favor to inform, through
your useful paper the Friend, those kind
lady friends that used to call at Aitutaki
with their husbands the whalksmmnsters,
from your eastern ports, —Mrs.
Mrs.
Woodbridge, Mrs. FullDr, Mrs. Skinner,
Mrs. Ashley, Mrs. Rose, and J could fill the
sheet with the names of others, for whom a
warm and sincere friendship was entertained, until the close of life by my deor departed wife, Mrs. Sarah Royle of Manchester, England, working most laboriously in
the cause of Christ, under the auspices of
the London Missionary Society, at the Hervey group mission for nearly forty years ;
during that period she never tired in her
ceaseless efforts to bring souls to Christ,
instructing the young, the wayward female
adult.-", and sought out most tenderly those
that were out of the way of virtue antl
happiness."
Such assurances as these from the ajed
nnd venerable missionary, are golden links
of Christian friendship uniting the dwellers
on the Polynesian Islands with Christian
friends in America and England.
In noticing woman's wide-spread and
hnppy influence, the sentiment of Thackeray is recalled to mind, "A good woman is
the loveliest flower that blooms under heaven"; also that of Luther, " There is nothing sweeter on earth than the heart of a
woman where piety dwells."

The Statue of Captain Cook.—The
Pall Mall Gazette of October 23d has the
following :—" The statue of Captain Cook,
which Mr. Woollier has so long been engaged upon for the government of New
South Wales, will be sent to the founders in
a few days, and we hear that it is not to be
shown to the public in this country. The
size of this statue is remarkable : it measures 13 feet 6 inches from the feet to the
crown of the head, and nearly 2 feet more to
the end of the uplifted arm. Thus, when
placed on the1 pedestal already provided for
its reception in Hyde Park, Sydney, the
total height above the ground will not be
less than 37 feet. The situation in Sydney
is most happily chosen, and is so elevated
that vessels, when they have entered the
Heads of Port Jackson, will be able to see
the statue in the distance as they work their
way up to Sydney. * * In looking at
the statue the impression of extraordinary
size quickly fades, and the whole figure is
thoroughly grasped at once. The attitude
is easy, yet imposing. The great navigator
has come on deck bareheaded, and has just
made out the new continent showing dimly
in the early morning sun. He is thus represented in the moment of a discovery which
entitles Cook to rank immediately below
Columbus in the list of discoverers.
*
The drapery is most carefully worked ; and
the old-fashioned garb, with its laced coat,
large-pocketed waistcoat, tight knee-breeches,
and large-buckled shoes, seems to have lost
its grotesqueness in the way it is here managed, and to be better suited than any other
to the occasion, though the inevitable queue
scarcely suits one's idea of a becoming finish
to the neck."

interesting and charming book of travel.
The style is clear and natural, and it docs
the reader's eyes good to look upon pnges
beautifully and neatly printed, and not one
typographical error have we discovered from
beginning to end. If our limits would allow
we should gladly favor our readers with
copious extracts, but there are several points
we cannot omit to notice.
During the summer of IS7- Judge Caton,
accompanied by his wife and other ladycompanions, voyaged to Europe and instead
of following the usual routes of travel, struck
nway for Norway and pushed their rambles
to Hammerfest, the most northern town or
settlement of civilized man on our globe,
lying within the Arctic circle as far north as
Point Barrow within the Arctic Ocean.
This is a town of about 2,000 inhabitants
engaged in fishing, whaling, and the mnnufacture of cod-liver oil. In this region of
" perpetual day" during the long days of
summer, the weather is charming, while in
winter, during the season of perpetual
night," the sea is open nnd steamers are
plying in and out the harbor. The mildness
of the weather is of course owing to the
broad sweep of the gulf stream, which flows
with its deep and warm current from the
Gulf of Mexico and along the American
Coast and crossing the Northern 'Atlantic
Ocean tempers air and sea in those regions
of Europe, which would otherwise be uninhabitable for civilized man.
Hammerfest is a whaling port. The business waa started by a Norwegian by the
name of Sven Toyen, who has made a fortune. He is said to be the most successful
at present of any one engaged in the whaling
business. The enterprise is prosecuted by
steamers. The whales having been caught
are towed into port and there tried out, and
"every part of the animal which can be
utilized is saved and prepared for the marUp to the Ist of July, twenty-eight

pronounce the Norwegians the most polite
people in the woild. He has much to say
about the Lapps, and that too in a style of
narration as entertaining and instructive as
can well be written.
His chapter upon the civil nnd political
status of Norway is very instructive, showing how firmly they hnve maintained their
independence under most adverse circumstances, when severed from Denmark and
brought under the king of Sweden ; but we
cannot linger amid historical descriptive
scenes as enchanting as fairy tales and as
instructive as the most sober pages of history.
One historic incident we cannot omit to
notice. Away back in the 17th century,
when Gustavus Adolphus was king of Sweden, and Christian IV of Denmark, Col.
George Sinclair of the Scottish Highlands,
undertook to cross Norway with 900 of his
clan to go to the asaistance of the king of
Sweden. They landed on the Norwegian
coast and were marching in unconscious
security, when the brave Scotch were completely overwhelmed by an ambushed party
of Norwegians, who had placed "nn imon an
mense quantity of logs and rocks
advantageous eminence, under which the
brave Sinclair and his 900 followers would
pass. At the critical moment down came
the crushing mass, and not one escaped to
tell the tnle, any more than did one'of the
brave Coster's troops escape Sitting Bull and
his savage followers.
But as the legendary story goes, a gallant
Norwegian about to lead his fair bride to the
hymenial altar, was commissioned by her to
rush into the deadly ufTray and rescue Lady
Sinclair, but the good lady mistaking his
purpose shot him dead, while she experienced a similar fate. A monument to Col.
George Sinclair may be seen near Storklcustad, where he fell August 26th, Kil2. In
reading this touching story, supported by
authentic history and tradition, we were reminded of more*recent events on Hawaiian
shores, when a gallant Norwegian (residing
on Kauai in that very region of the island
which first arrested the eye of Capt. Cook
just one century ago), met a fair and youthful daughter of the Sinclair clan and led her
to the hymenial altar, and now they dwell
together in a happy home, " with olive
plants growing up around their table." It is
pleasant thus- to link Norwegian, Scottish
and Hawaiian incidents, and the time may
come when some Scott shall weave in romance scenes not only of " border warfare,"
but more recent events and more peaceful
incidents linking lands and nations separated by half the circumference of our globe.

Japan Correspondence.
Kobe, Japan, October, 1877.
Z>«orr Friend:—Let me tell you of the
recent spread of the gospel in this empire.
We had learned from President Clark, (of
whom I formerly wrote you, and whose wife
is a daughter of the Rev. Wm. Richards
with kindness, and he does not hesitate to who wns of the Htivviiiiun mi pjii ut L iti't-

ma) of his success with ihe first class of the
agricultural college (fifteen or sixteen) at
Sapora, which under government patronage,
he had just organized. Through his influence, the Bible was made a text book on the
subject o( morals, which the government
superintendent desired should lie taught;
and thereby the wholr class was convinced
of the truth of Christianity, and wished to
He told them he had no
be baptized.
authority to do that, hut by his advice they
joined in a club or society, pledging themselves to abstain from strong drink, tobacco,
and opium, and to unite with God's people
when opportunity offered.
Six months or more since President Clark
left, we hear that a missionary from Hakodate has been to Sapora and baptized the
whole class; they are all picked men educated by the government, and will probably
fill important posts.
Again we are told that far in the interior,
a missionary had bam invited or permitted
to preach in a Budhist temple, and that
there (though obliged to speak through an
interpreter) he had rend and expounded three
books of the New Testament to attentive
audiences, of 80 to 100. At the recent dedication of n church edifice at Snniln, fivepersons from a considerable city fifteen or
twenty miles distant, were present. One of
them had repeatedly walked that distance,
to intend preaching at S., bringing with him
his friends, and they with others of that city
have requested that some ontj would come
monthly nnd preai-h in their city,—and it is
intended this shall be done.
A request like the preceding has come to
Mr. Atkinson of our mission from nnother
quarter, nnd students of theology have consequently been sent thither. Quite a number of pupils in the training school spend
their long vacation as colporteurs, anil preach
as doors are opened. Nearly a year ago, a
young native from a distant region called at
Mr. Atkinson's, asked for and received some
portions of the Scriptures. After some
mouths lie wrote for more, and said he
would pay for them, but sent no money.
For a long time nothing was heard from
li tin ; but recently a letter has come from
him with a little money, in which he says
that his father had recently died, and afterward he himself had been very ill; he was
now better and would by installments pay
for the books. Moreover he said they had
been read by many of his neighbors, and
now they wished him to preach to them ; he
purposed to do so. He lives quite remote,
1 believe 100 miles from any missionary
station. As there are readers in almost
every part of Japan, and the Scriptures
(especially of the New Testament) are beginning to be circulated, there is ground to
hope that gospel light will spread with greatly increased velocity.
As ever and cordially yours,
P. J.GOLICK.

NEW YEAR-1878.
Most cordially we wish our readers and
subscribers, on ship and shore, —A Happy
New Year. If space allowed, we should
indulge in remarks naturally suggested by
the returning of Christmas and New Year's,
but especially by the ending of the first century since the Hawaiian Islands were introduced to the civilized world by their renowned discoverer, Captain Cook. Most sincerely do we regret that our English fellow
residents have not made their arrangements
for a grand centennial celebration. It is a
date (January ISth, 1778) which forms a
most memorable event in the history of the
Hawaiian Islands. We have only to go
back in imagination one century, and we
find our islands as unknown to the civilized
world as the territory on some unknown
planet. On our part, as publisher and editor
of the "oldest paper in the Pacific," the
best contribution we can make to the occasion is our Chronological Table.
The late editor of the Gazette, Dr.
Rogers, publishes his valedictory in the issue
of the 26th ult. Although he has wielded
the editorial pen but a few weeks, yet he
has certainly conducted the paper with
marked ability, and we regret his retirement
from the Gazette.
Any party prepared to furnish a pair
of native Hawaiian geese, for shipment to
the United States, will please communicate
with the editor.
Judos Caton, of Illinois.—By the last steamer
from San Francisco this gentleman arrived, and ii
at tbe hotel. He was for many years Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of that State, retiring in 1864.
Since that period be boa devoted bis time to scientific aud literary pursuits, being an enthtuiaatio

year just closed a work sf more ihan 400 pages,

America." He published bis visit to Europe entilled, "A Summer in Norway," with an account of
the Red-deer, Reiudeer and Elk. Our space will

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 12.
Elberfeld, November 10, 1877.
The winter is really coming. Crisp, brilliant days and radiantly tinted forests are
crowning the year. The hail is even now
rattling at the window. Last week I made
a little excursion on the Rhine banks, doing
some pedestrianism, now and then, going as
far as Coblentz, and visiting the palace of the
Empress. 1 have a great deal to tell yet
about all the fine things that 1 saw, but 1
must defer them until another month. In
this my second visit to Bonn, I had a very
pleasant, interview with Prof. Christlieb in
his pleasant home on the Grunerweg. He
is a fine looking man, with a strong intense
face, a noble head crowned with dark hair
turning slightly grey. His face and figure
are hardly German, seeming more delicate
and nervous. His English is perfect, and
he makes himself most agreeable to his listener. Here in Bonn he is exceedingly popular as a lecturer and preacher, and is one of
the ablest professors in the large Faculty,
acting this year as the Dean of the great
University. His cordiality and friendliness
were most marked. A son of Mrs. H. B.
Stowe has been studying here. 1 like Bonn
exceedingly in some respects. Tbere ia a
very decidedly literary tone about it. But I
want to tell you about a little visit I made
at Neuwied last week where two tons of Mr.
L, of Honolulu, are in School. It lay right
on my way, and 1 had a sort of yearning to
see the two little fellows so far away from
home, and very glad am I. that I went. It
did us all good to say—Aloha. Neuwied is
a pretty little village on the banks of tbe
Rhine, a portion of whose inhabitants are
Moravians. There are two large schools
here,—one for boys and one for girls, under
the care of the brothers and sisters. The
boy's school is in a splendid large building,
with fine play-grounds, and is, I should
judge, very well conducted. I saw the Director, a very pleasant gentleman, wbo was
kind and obliging. The boys knew me immediately, and we spent pert ola day together. They tell roe, that they are happy
and like it here. They are gentlemanly lit*
tie fellows and seem to be doing well. But
their hearts,—a good part of them are where
mine is—in Honolulu. Please accept my
most cordial greetings for the New Year,
�til FRIEND, JAft D ART

which as being a year of singular historical
interest to our sunny Islands, will, 1 trust,
prove a fitting crown to the century it completes.
But I must return to my trip down the
Rhine, I think we had reached,
THE LUTHER MONUMENT AT WORMS.
"Tell your master," said Luther, to a
messenger from Spalatin, " that though
there should be as many devils in Worms as
there are tiles on the roofs of the houses, I
would go," and go be did, and now people
come to see where this marvelous man spoke
such great words as few men before or since
have dared to utter; they seem to give the
very town itself after this long lapse of time,
a (moral) grandeur, which scarcely any other
in Europe possesses. "They ring like a
clarion through the years." "I cannot choose
but adhere to the word of God, which has
possession of my conscience, nor can I possibly, nor will I ever, make any recantation,
since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience. Here Itake my stand;
I cannot do otheneise. God be my help !
Amen." The old city of Worms, always
interesting by reason of its associations with
the Reformation, is now rendered doubly so
by the splendid monument to Luther, which
was erected here in 1868. It is an elaborate and interesting affair, deeply so to every
student of that sublime struggle which the
Monk of Erfurt headed. On a noble pedestal of granite is a superb bronze statue of
Luther; in one hand a Bible, to which he
points with the other; his face turned upwards, that strong; courageous face, which
nothing in the Universe but the anger of
God could blanch. The sunlight fell full
and free upon it, as if in benediction ! The
central figure is surrounded by statues Waldus, the Frenchman; Wickliffe, the Englishman; Huss, the Bohemian; and Savonarola,
the Italian; all of heroic size. Many other
statues, medallions and quotations from
Luther go to make up the monument, which
is a splendid epitome of the Reformation in
Germany with suggestions of othercountries.
There is a concentration of thought, a massing of grand historical facts, which is
strangely impressive. It is Daubigne's

the honor of his name, either directly or
indirectly as the reoent " Oaxton " celebration in England will testify. The incalculable good to which this invention has given
rise, is more than enough to glorify the
names of those who have been in any way
connected with it. I thiuk they would be
slightly surprised could they see our weekly
and daily papers, which come pouring in
upon us now with telegrams,— "special correspondent," letters and leaders about tbe terrible Bastern war. Mayence or German

of masonry erected by the Snd and 4th Legions in honor of Drusus, son-ia-law of Augustus, who was killed by a fall from his
horse." Suetonius makes mention of the
monument. A staircase has been placed in
it, by which I ascended to tbe summit and
had a view of the city in the twilight. What
a long, long time it seemed back 10 the days
when the Roman sentinels paced back and
forth, near perhaps, where 1 was standing!
It is impossible to give in a letter, and especially weeks after, those innumerable little
scenes and incidents which make a visit to
a city especially pleasant to a tourist. Enumeration of cathedrals, of churches, of museums become wearisome to the narrator and
most certainly so to the reader. It is in
those unanticipated impressions; in the accidental discovery of beauties which strike
you alone, in the sensations which come
wilh the sight of some object or scene which
has been in name familiar to you from
childhood, in the thrill sudden and delicious,
that some sculptured 'marble, or radiant
coloring or hushed chant, gives you, that
forms the under tone of your thoughts as
you are endeavoring to give another a description of your travels. You may be correct in
all points of fact, but there seems such a
deadness in them, a something lacking which
you yearn to give and which eludes you.
Goethe I think it was, who had the habit of
taking little sketches of scenes which struck
him particularly, and then afterwards writing from these. If there was but some subtle way by which we could chain for others
those fleet intangible impressions which
come to us at some memorable moments in
our lives! *
" AM RHEIN ; AM RHEIN."
In some caves and winding valleys we
read that the effects of the "echo " are surpassingly fine. That the slightest whisper
is increased sometimes to a shout, that a
word let fall comes back to the listening ear
in a thousand mocking tones, and that a
strain of music is heard long after, sweeping
on from point to point, flooding the air with
its melody, lingering as if unwilling ever to
cease. There are subtler echoes, for ears
attuned to catch their sound in every scene
which has been rendered famous by great or
renowned deeds, or which has been the
birthplace of poetry and art. or spiritualized
by the presence of joy and sorrow, of faith
and devotion. One of these enchanted
scenes is where the long, fair River Rhine
sweeps onward to the sea. How vibrant the
air seems with countless echoing voices,
some so far and faint, that only those who
know and love the river and its history can
detect them at all, and these only in that
hush which comes when the hum and murmur of the present dies away ; then there
are stronger and firmer tones, rising and
falling in perfect cadence, countless melodies,
joyous and sombre, shouts and buglenotes
and cries rent from out some far off" agony,
and ripples of laughter. No other river in
all tbe world can vie with it in poetic and
historic association. From its early home
in the bosom of tbe glacier, past its crystal
leap at Schaffhausen, past ancient cities and
crag-cresting feudal castles, past sunny vineslopes and white villages, does it hold its
way to the bleak northern sea where it pours
its warm rich tide. He who attempts to de-
"
.
scribe the Rhine, (and who does not ?) fails
in the attempt. "Todo it well one should
write like a King." Dear it is, not only to
the German heart, but to that greater heart,
which throbs in all those, who love the beautiful. The echoes grow clearer and clearer
as the steamer cuts the quiet waters. You
live over the days the Germans and Goths,
the Gauls and Huns played each their part
on these now quiet shores. The castles are
no longer in ruins ; a brave array of knights
and fair ladies meets you at every bend in
the river, and the sound of martial music
comes floating over the water.
Everybody sees the Rhine—it is one of
the things to be " done," you know by
English and Americans, and the former people especially are to be met on it in small
armies. lam not one to shun the sound of
my mother tongue in a foreign land as some
travellers seem to be desirous of doing. 1
like to meet our own people, and I find that
as a general thing, they are as interesting
and cultivated people as one does meet.
From Mayence to Cologne is a charming
sail. You take from the former city the
boat in the morning and you are in the latter before the dusk has commenced to creep
into its cathedral. The Rhine boats are
immensely comfortable, and it is easier to
dream and dream under a good awning than
under the fierce rays of the sun. People
settle down calmly to be comfortable. Some
are so prosaic as to keep little tables before
them, with an/thing but little bottles on
them. Some armed with opera glasses and
map keep rushing from one side of the boat
to the other. These as a general rule are
Anglo Saxons. There are sentimental
couples, and sedate couples; specimens of
those "terrible children" who are always
just on the point of tumbling in to this famous river and who keep their nurses and
governesses, who would like a quiet moment
tor the beauty of the banks, in a constantly
agitated state. German gentlemen with the
inevitable spectacles and German Frauleins
with rosy cheeks. All bent for one day on
enjoying themselves.
There is a wonderfully familiar look About
everything. Bingen for instance. "Fair
Bingen on ihe Rhine." The poem which
no body reads without a little lump in his
throat, has had an immense deal to do with
making the place famous. It must have
seemed very fajr to the soldier dying in Algiers, fairer, perhaps, than it did to us tourists to whom Bingen was nothing more than
any other city on the Rhine. Then Bishop
Hatto's " Mouse Tower." It requires a
lively imagination to picture the uncomfortably wicked old Bishop, whose sins brought
him to such a (legendary) end in that little
tower from which signals are thrown out to
the passing steamer. The grand ruin of
Rheinlels, the twin castles, •• The Brothers,"
about which tradition has woven such a sad
story, taking you back to the days of the
crusaders, and Stolzenfels, with the many
interesting castles marked by broken arches
hovering among the trees, clinging to the
edge of cliffs, which rise out of the waters
below, dawn one after another upon you.
The river narrows, abrupt banks buried
in foliage rise on either side, and all is
beautiful at this moat picturesque point
in this most picturesque river. We pass.

THE FRIEND, JANUARY,

notes drew us into the fatal whirlpool with
their maddening "witchery. Do you think
the railway tunnel near at hand has frightened her away 1 Coblentz, proud of the
embrace of the lovely Moselle and Rhine,
and guarded by the frowning Ehrenbreitstein, " The Gibraltar of the Rhine," stays
us in our course for a little time. The sentimental couples before alluded to find
food for thought as we pass " Rolandseck,"
whence went forth the valiant knight Roland to win the Holy City from the infidels,
happy
in
the love of the lovely Hildegunde,
his betrothed. Rumor false, as is often the
case, brings word that the brave Roland is
no more and the disconsolate Hildegunde
becomes the bride of heaven," and buries
herself and her woe in the cloister near at
hand. But fortunately or unfortunately the
Rhenish chivalry had not lost Roland who
returns to claim his love. But alas ! this is
impossible. So he builds the castle on the
height, of which now but one arch remains
and upon which the " sentimentalists " are
now gazing, and from this vantage ground
he catches glimpses of his betrothed, passing
to and fro to her devotions. But at last
even this is denied him and death claims the
sad nun, Hildegunde. " From that moment
Roland never spoke again; one morning his
sole attendant found him rigid and lifeless,
his glassy eye still turned towards the convent chapel"!! !!

BONN,
The birth-place of Beethoven and one of the
most celebrated university towns in Germany, skirts the river, where—
The castled crags of Drachenfels
Frown o'er the wide and winding Rhine,
Whose breast of waters broadly swells
Between the banks which bear the vine;
And hills all rich with bloasom'd trees.
And fields which promise corn and wine,
And scattered oities crowning these.
Whose far-while walls along them shine,
Have strew'd a scene which I could see
With double joy wert thou with me."
"
The University buildings cover an immense space and were formerly an old
Palace. The trees which front them and
the beautiful grassy open space were formerly in the palace grounds. One of the most
glorious avenues I ever saw of chesnuts,
stretches offfrom the lower town towards the
chemical laboratories, the observatory, etc.
Here the son of the crown-prince of Germany, the grandson of Queen Victoria, has
recently commenced his university studies.
There are some eight hundred students
in attendance with about a hundred professors, Professor Christlieb of whom I
have spoken to you before, I think, being
this year the Dean of the Faculty. Bonn
has become of late years a very favorite
place of residence for English people, and
besides the Church of England there is also
a congregation of Scotch Presbyterians.
Bishop Reinkens of the old Catholic party
has here his home, and here some of the
meetings which have marked the progress of
that movement, have taken place. The
town lies on the Rhine which widens to a
large river, and offin the distance loom the
picturesque seven mountains But Bonn is
rendered especially interesting from the fact
that it was the birth-place of Beethoven,
probably the greatest musician of any age, a
name which any city should be proud to
number on the roll of its citizens. It is a
safe thing to know that you are in just the
right place before you indulge in your raptures at having discovered scenes which
cradled the infancy of your hero. Certainly
it was not from lack of effort on my part if
I failed to find where the gifted musician,
who was to bring with him heavenly music
and melody into a discordant world, first
opened his baby eyes towards the latter part
of the last century. His father was a tenorsinger to the Elector and at the time of his
great son's birth is said to have been living
on one of the streets which now lies hidden
in the crowded heart of the city; it may
have been my own stupidity but I was forced
to leave without finding the house. Certainly some of the people seem to have very
shadowy ideas as to the shrine I was seeking, and I thought one fellow at least spoke
the truth when he said very pleasantly, " He
wasn't there at the time," which may account for his ignorance. But I did have the
satisfaction of nibbling a bit of sandwich in
a restaurant in the Rheingasse, in a house
where certainly the Beethoven family once
lived. To what " base uses a great man's
home may be put in time is "certainly attested by this dingy little place, where some
men were wrangling in anything but a musical way over their cards. In the place "
near the fine old cathedral, girdled "by trees,
which have now strewn the ground with
their leaves, stands the bronze statue of Beethoven which was inaugurated there not so
very many years ago in the presence of the
Queen of England. There are few who
have not grown familiar with this powerful
face in busts and engravings. It is not a
winning face; there is a solitariness and
sternness in it as of a man who must have
Jived apart from other men, " hearing in his
soul" a music which even he could not interpret to his fellow-beings. Beethoven left
this city of Bonn when he was yet a young
man, and he should rather hereafter be viewed, not in his relationship to any one town
but rather as a sovereign in that world of
harmony which knows no terrestrial boundaries. He struggled with a terrible might
against the fatal doom of deafness, which
while he was in the very prime of life, slowly and steadily and relentlessly shut him
out from the world. It would seem almost
as if it must needs be so, as if in no other
way could he have fulfilled his mission.
Shut out from the rush and turmoil of life,
from its countless discordant cries he had
now leisure to listen to those celestial melo-
dies which floated unhindered, not to his
human ear, but to his waiting soul. He
lived not only figuratively but really much
apart from men. In his long lonely walks,
which no extremes of weather ever interrupted he composed within ,'he music, which on
his return he committed to writing. In the
library at Bonn I saw just a fragment of a
score of his, a mere fragment, but interesting
as coming from his hand. It does us good
now and then in our enjoyment of the fruits
of other men's labors to put aside the splendid lustre which hangs about their names
and look into the real life which throbs and
suffers and groans oftentimes under the purple and ermine of outward triumph. The
songs which we sing are sometimes the
groan of a broken heart, and from the lonely
" of a few lives issues that
" Gethsemanes and
which glorifies
enriches the world.
We are near our journey's end. Here the
boat is at the landing, the day's vision is now
a memory, a-rushing and crowding, two rows
of eager hackmen, and we are in the venerable city ol Cologne, in the shadow of whose
cathedral we shall sleep and dream over
again—" Our day on the Rhine."

It always affords us great delight to hear
trom our youth, who have left the islands
for higher institutions of learning in America and Europe. By a late mail we received
an interesting letter from young Arthur P.
Peterson, who is now studying Law at Ann
Arbor, Michigan. We copy as follows, under date of November 27th :
"Ann Arbor is a city of 10,000 inhabitants, and is supported mostly by the students of the University of Michigan. The
University is not as well known as it should
be, as they do not advertise as other colleges
do. In size it probably is the second or
third in America. It contains this year between twelve and thirteen hundred students,
not including the preparatory department.
In rank they claim that it is next to Vale,
or about on an equal with Amherst. The
Law Department, which I am attending, is
the largest, and one of the best in the country. It has nearly four hundred would-be
lawyers in it.

very interesting sermon from the 13th verse
of the J2th chapter of Ecclesiastes, in which
he reviewed the whole book step by step,
showing under What circumstances the book

many had of this book."
We would merely add that Dr. Cocker, to
whom reference is made, is a professor in the
University. He is an Englishman, and
many years ago was a Methodist preacher
in the Australian Colonies, who will be remembered by many in the South Seas. He
has become somewhat eminent as an author
and lecturer. He is the author of a volume
entitled " Christianity and Greek Philosophy," published by the Harpers of New

a most interesting address from him in Delaware, Ohio, on " The Brotherhood of the
Human Race."

Faith is the first step in a sinner's salvation, and prayer the second. Faith shows
us our need, and leads to prayer as its remedy. Faith shows the infinite fondness of
God's grace, and prayer opens the door to
receive it. Through faith and prayer we
are made the full partakers of the plenitude
of his infinite love. " God shall supply all
your need according to riches in glory by
Christ Jesus."
The swearing sceptic may ssy: " I do
not see that the christians are any better off

PASSENGERS.
Larami to San Francisco, and forwarded by
our Hawaiian Consul Mr. Severance to the
islands, that the Rev. Mr. Pogue was returning with his daughter, and had reached
that point on the overland railroad, when
sickness compelled him to leave the oars and
seek repose, and there after a short illness
he died, but particulars are not given.
In recording his death we feel fully authorized from our personal acquaintance of
over thirty years and knowledge of his missionary career, to bear the most unqualified
testimony to his fidelity as missionary of the
American board of Missions. His labors at
Koloa, Kauai; Ktylakekua and Kau, Hawaii; Lshainaluna, Maui, and Honolulu,
fully entitle him to all which may be written
in honor of his memory. A friend has kindly furnished the following sketch, which we
fully endorse and much prefer to anything

speak. He was naturally very retiring and sensitive,
aud very few, even of his friends, knew of tbe deep
struggles through wbiob be passed in bis life here.
Whati-ver be felt to be bis duty he would do unflinchingly, oost him what it might. I may say bis

oonseorated spot. His labors whether as paator or
teuoher were arduous, for he entered into them with
bis wbole soul. He was suiotly honest and conscientious in business matters, and liberal in jndgment of bis fellow beings; charitable of the failings
of others, and ready to check anything like gossip
or unkind words of others in conversation with his
family. He had great fear of getting into debt. He
gave freely to heuevolent objects and in many oases
so quietly tbat his own family knew not of it until
afterwards. It has been stated that his death was
sudden, but it wss not so. He bad had a cough for
many years. The dsy he read bis report and gave
in his resignation to tbe Evangelioal Association last
June, bis physician said be should not be surprised
if be did not live a week, and we all felt tbat be was
too feeble when he left borne to undertske tbe journey alone. He bas been breaking down for years.
—Soon after his arrival at these islands
he married Miss Maria Whitney, daughter
of the late Rev. Samuel Whitney of Waimea, Kauai. He leaves a widow and four
children, two sons and two daughters, —to
mourn his death.
