College,—In our last issue we noticed
the donation of seats to the institution.
We rejoice to learn that improvements, costing about one thousand dollars, have been
made, enlarging the verandah, above and
below, of the main school building, towards
the mountains. This improvement will
greatly enlarge the main audience room
above, and the recitation room below. Improvements of this nature are the more to be
appreciated, when made without drawing
upon the funds of the college, and by those
who have graduated at the institution. We
hope to have the pleasure of reporting additional contributions of this nature. Let
those who have once been taught there, aim
to make the institution more desirable and
inviting for their children. This is doing
good in Ihe right way. We are glad to report a larger number of pupils than was
■ever previously in attendance. Tbe late examination was highly creditable. The class
in Geology appeared remarkably well.

Christmas Gatherings.—We have heard
of trees and other demonstrations in various
parts of the town. Being present at the
Bethel Sabbath School gathering, we can
refer to it as a remarkable success. More
than one hundred little hearts were made
glad, if their bright faces and sparkling eyes
were indications of their heart-emotions. If
any person, like the Pharisees of old, should
murmur at such a demonstration, we would
reply to them in the Saviour's own words " I
tell you that if these should hold their peace,
the stones would immediately cry out."—

his indulgcncies, against which Martin Luther did such valiant conflict. It was a relief, after the unending flatness of the
country, to find ourselves on ascending
ground. On the horizon, in the evening
light, the Hartz Mountains began to outline
themselves, and send welcomes to us through
the mists which enveloped them. At a little
country station we took supper with some
American students, going for a holiday trip
in the mountains But their journey was to
be more extensive than ours, so, after a
pleasant talk of Amherst, Cornell, Hamilton
and California Universities, we were forced
to say good-bye, adding, thereto, however, a
hearty auf weidirsclu.u.

I am constantly surprised to see what feats
of walking are accomplished here, and it is
amusing and stimulating to see the rivalry
there is in reference to making a good day's
walk in this region. For several days we
were on foot, up and down mountains,
through vallies, and over rivers, and all
along the way, we were met by companies,
similarly equipped as ourselves, an umbrella
or cane, or mountain-stock in hand, a bag or
sitchel swung over one shoulder, a plaid or
overcoat for protection against the rain, and
nothing more. Fine mountain roads led in
all directions, and, branching from these,
were by-pa.hs, well indicated as a general
thing, by guide-boards, or some other sign,
and when these were lacking, there was almost always some friendly peasant ever at
hand to guide us. I find that my "Journal
and Sketch Book " is in rather a confused
state, and, in endeavoring to give you a little
idea of my Ilartz-Reise, or journey, perhaps it will be best to send a little outline
sketch, as my memory serves me.
HARTZBURGH
Gives one a little idea of many other similar towns and villages which abound in the
country regions of Germany, and where the
wealthy and well-to-do people of the cities
come for summer rest and recreation. It
abounds in hotels, beautifully situated, and
well kept, is laid out with shade trees, ornamented with private villas and gardens, and
rejoices in springs of healing waters, and is
accordingly a•■ bath." Just over the town
which lies in the valley rises a hill, the Borgberg, with a commanding view, up whose
side we first tested our " walking legs."
Beautiful as the country is here in all directions, and inviting as it is of itself, it becomes immensely more so by reason of all
the associations which meet one at every
point. For instance, sitting here on the
Borgberg, in the golden radiance and
warmth of a summer morning, with choirs
of birds in the trees and a panorama of
mountain and plain before us, we find many
other things to claim our attention. We sit
on the smooth granite steps of the pedestal
of a simple but impressive monument erected
to the honor of the German Chancellor,
Bismarck, on which are graven the significant words: " Nach Caiiossa gelun. \cei
nicht /" We do not go to Canossa, words,
to which this valiant leader has never proved
false. Here still linger a tew fragments of
a castle of the German Emperor, Henry IV.,
�and here died later another Emperor, Otto
IV. Amid the eroves at the base of the hill
are reminders of the early days of German
heathen worship. Just above this little cluster of trees where we £top for refreshment,
some one has placed a stone with an inscription to say that one day the German poet
V/tland visited this spot. Undoubtedly a
simple, very simple incident, but the stone is
interesting; as a reminder of some one's
thoughtful appreciation of the poet, and as it
calls to mind, in the midst of these poetic.
scenes, the wild, sweet poetry of this German writer. 1 was fortunate in my companions, both of whom were young with all the
fun of boyhood in them still, yet tempered
by the promise of the noble young manhood
upon which they are both just entering. You
could scarcely find greater contrast, one was
the very incarnation of method and order,
and curie around with a thermometerfor the
heat, md a "pedometer" to measure the
distance we had gone per day, and who
could tell us as we halted for the night how
many kilometres we had walked since morning The other would make the longest
days seem short, so blessed was he with a
memory for amusing stories, and fairly rippled over wiih jokes in French and German
English. So as I have snid, I was most
fortunate in my companions, and owe to
them, as well as to the sunlight and mountains and skies, the pleasant memories I
have brought back with me.
IN THE FOREST.
As the day wore on we caught glimpses of
the " Brocken," the highest point in the
Hartz, looming before us. the goal which we
hoped to reach before sun-down, but from
which we were separated by a vast ocean of
wood-land. Alter one has lived in the closely
inhabited towns and cities of Europe, nothing is more striking in coining out info the
country than to see what extensive tracts of
land lie uninhabited. The disproportion
seems too great! Your heart goes yearning
after all the men nnd women and children,
with faces too white and old, crowded in
various uncleanly city streets, and amid
their unhealthy fumes, and you wish you
might scatter amid this glorious green, outer
world, all those who hunger for such sweetness and freedom and plenty as are here given
in limitless measure How difficult it is to
describe a forest! You feel almost like one
at sea, with an ocean before and an ocean
behind. You mount some sentinel rock and
look out over the closely grouped tops of the
pines and wonder how your way will lie,
and then driving down into the cool green
depths below, where the sun-light shines
softly at noon time, or lies along your course,
interlaced with the shadows, lose all sense of
things without and forget that you belong
elsewhere than in this solemn, mysterious
under-world, till again you scale some height
into the day-light, and look back in vain for
the way you have gone and over which the
waves have so swiftly closed. Ido not remember, in all my journeyings in cur tropical forests, with their glorious tangles of
vines and ferns, their wild and wayward
luxuriance of riotous growth and beauty, to
have been so impressed as 1 have been of
late by these forests in the Hartz, with their
simple, severe monotony of form and uniformity of coloring, and yet which possess

such an indescribably solemn dignity, such
calm confidence in the infinite force of their
united serried strength, rising fearlessly
towards the blue dome above ti.em. And
then whnt stores of perfume and fragrance
dwell in these sentinel-like pines and firs!
Never in nature could be found such suggestionsof cathedral service as in these shadowy
aisles, with the aroma of incense from unseen
censers, and the music ol distant chanting of
choirs, ns the winds speak in their boughs
We traveled little on the main road, but
always by by-paths, which led us away from
men into the heart of the wood-lands, so
that 1 do not remember passing a village
during the first day's rambles. As the afternoon wore on, the trees about us seemed to
diminish in size, and the soft, yielding velvety carpet under our" feet, gave way to
strong, barren soil, and the climbing was far
from easy, and we often paused for a view at
the country whose horizon seemed to
broaden and widen as we rose higher.
Groups ol travelers on their way down from
the mountain and others came fast up
behind us. Still higher stunted trees give
place to shrubs, and these to hardy grasses
and wild mountain flowers, and in a few
moments more we stand on the
SUMMIT OF THE BROCKEN.
Certainly there is no one point in Germany,
perhaps none in Europe, about which so
much uncanny legendary lore clusters as
about the mountain on whose summit we
have just arrived. The place seems singularly in keeping with its legends, wild,
barren, wind-swept, standing above, amidst
drifting mists and clouds, far away from the
sweet happy life of the villages nestling at
its feet, a fitting place for the wild orgies
which the witches and spirits of darkness
were fubled to celebrate here on Walpurgis
niidu. Long ago, into this region, came the
wild and heathen Saxons, and celebrated
mid the lonely fastnesses of the Hnnz and
Brocuen their pagan rites. Charlemagne,
who believed in enforcing Christianity by
the sword, and who was bent on the conversion of the Saxons and the abolition of their
paganism, endeavored to compel them to
desist from the practice of their religion.
He stationed guards to prevent them, but in
vain. The unruly savages " arrayed themselves like goblins, with the skins and horns
of beasts, with fire forks in their hands, and
these rude instruments which they used as
protection against wild beasts, and during
their sacrificial rites as they danced around
the altar. Thus armed, they put the wholi
of the terrified guards to flight, and proceed
ed to invite the people to-their festival.
Hence its celebration on the first of May, on
the wildest region of the Hartz, with the
snow yet lying on the Brocken, naturally
gave rise among the Christians to the belief
ol witches riding that night upon their broomsticks to add to the infernal mirth and mystery of these heathen rites." The most
wild and dreadful tales in reference lo these
satanic revels were told and believed generation alter generation, till this lonely peak of
the Brocken or Brocksberg was regarded as
peculiarly 'possessed by evil spirits. I have
lately read, though I scarcely believe it, that
Walpurgis week neither man or
" during
boy can be found bold enough to act as guide
over the mountains." Goelhe has laid one

here, which renders ihe spot especially interesting to all admirers of his mystical,
shadowy tragedy. Certain heaps of rocks
are styled the Witches' Dancing Place,
Wash-basil,, Devils' Chancel, etc. But all
the uncanny character of the summit immediately is dissipated by the spirit of genial
hospitality which seems to shine from every
point of the hospitable old hotel which was
waiting like some kindly friend to welcome
us. After the long day's tramping and
climbing, and the roir and sweep of the
wind, how deliplitful was the warmth and
cheer and comfort which reigned within ! I
shall always remember the strong, awkward
looking old hotel, wiih its cheery red brick
floor, shining and bright, its warm, cozy dining hall, its delightful beds, and wholesome
air of sweetness and good cheer. I hope
that all travelers coming to this ghost and
witch-ridden mo intain will find it ns full of
good cheer as did we. Having strengthened
ourselves within, we were ready to come
forth to meet all the phantoms of the place.
But the wind must, have blown them all
away. And such a wind, fresh blown from
the home of all the winds ! How it reveled
in this upper world, clear, cold, crystalline,
making the blood dance with irresistible joy
The late sunlight lingered as if loath to go.
From the tall tower rising in front of the
hotel we could sweep at one glance over a
wonderful tract of country. Few views in
Europe are more interesting historically. It
is looking into the very heart of Germany,
upturned io the sky. On every side of us
were to be seen the red roofs of towns and
villages, some clear and manifest, others
faint and distant and others lying far, far
away on the misty horizon. One could
easily fancy himself sailing through space in
a balloon with the country spread out like
a map beneath him. On a clear day it is
said that one can see from this point eightyiiim cities and six hundred and tixtyeight villages, partly or entirely—something of a range, is it not ? At certain seasons of the year, when the atmosphere is in
a peculiar condition, there is seen a phenomena called " The Spectre of the Brocken,"
being the shadow enlarged io a gigantic size
of any one standing in a certain position on
the mountain and cast on distant clouds or
mist. Unfortunately the time of our visit
did not permit us to see this spectral presence The sun set quietly behind the clouds,
leaving us in the midst of the long, grey,
summer twilight
Later on, came pale
moonlight through the clouds, and the wind
died slowly away, nnd night settled over the
great world at our feet, and we left the
witches to their dance without, while we
found our warm beds within more agreeable.
Have we really been at-asleep-at-all ? Yes,
here it is three o'clock ! A bell is sounding
through th» long corridors, nnd every room is
emptied, and before the hotel in the early
morning air, in all manner of hastily donned
costumes, like fire-worshipers stand a hundred or so of us, with eyes and face eagerly
turned toward the east, waiting for the sunrise. It was a most picturesque scene !

lay over the lowlands.
The mists
The light grew
stronger and stronger, ihe barrier of cloud
before the sun glowing from within with the
imprisoned flame, ujjtil at last bursting its
misty bands, the round full orb rose into
sight, and the morning's pagear was over.
White wreaths of clouds floated up between
us and the earth, but the wind spirited them
away, so that when we came to say goodbye to the brave old inn, (which stands
winter and summer, amid driving wind and
snow and rain, and must, if ever they come,
have watched the goblins at their work, and
yet, which through all, wears a cheery smile
on its battered face) the world was bathed in
sunshine, unobscured by clouds.
The
Brocken summit is chary of its growths, but
the kindly touch of nature has reached even
here, and given something of a softness and
charm, just as in the most forbidding face
thera may be something to love if ever we
are only ourselves wise and kind enough to
find it. I brought away with me a handful
of a delicate white blossom, bell shaped, with
an exquisite shading of blue on the base of
the petals. In among the rocks the wild
heather grows in profusion.
Our coining down from the mountain was ac-
complished in singularly shorter m «ce of time
than the ascent ol the same, snd soon we were
once more in the embrace of the fon-t, nnd near
the murmur ot its trout streams and every mile
of brisk walking in the delicious morning air
lirouglit
us nearer one of the red-roofed villages,
tpon which we had looked down the night before.
We pasted a group of charcoal burners silting
lear their wigwam like house and smouldering
leap, like spirits of the woods and mountains,
low the sight of them brought the memory of
airy stories read long, long ago. which emanated
from just suoh surroundings. How easy it seemed amid these glowing woods to picture dwarfs
and gnomes snd lairies, and all that long company of npirita, good and evil, which crowd the
German tales and legends! A little further on
we stopped for a little refreshment by a lovely
■pot on the river, which dashes in white foam
between its verdant hanks into the gorge below.
We saw we were beginning to leave the wild
woods and were coming once mure to civilised
lile. Here soldiers, fresh and bright in their
shinning utulorms. well-to-do looking towns people, (jurumn ('millions arrayed in their best, and

Harts, which we spend in the great hotel near
tbe village of Tnule, one more morning in the
valley under its Irees and by the banks of the
Bode, with sketch book and Heine in hand, and
we must start lor home, carrying with us the
sweet, beautiful memories of days which I think
1 can never forget. But which shall be in coming lile a constant source of joy nnd refreshment.
I leel us if I was leaving everything unsaid, all
the legends whioh wait to be uttered, all the
beauty which wans to be painted. But.-perhaps,

About forty and five years ago, when we
were studying as an undergraduate at Amherst College, there came to our college, a
Mr. Arms, who had just returned from an
exploring expedition to Patagonia. This
gentleman represented that he was accompanied by a Mr. Coan. We can vividly recall many statements then made by Mr.
Arms. A few months elapsed, and we remember to have read in the newspapers,
that one of the explorers in the wild regions
of Patagonia, had sailed as a missionary to
the Sandwich Islands.
It was the old Latin poet, Horace, we
believe, who counselled young authors to
allow their thoughts to lie in manuscript at
least nine years, but our missionary author
has allowed his journal to remain five times
that period in manuscript before publication,
but .we are glad to learn that he did not
think best to commit his manuscript to his
literary executors. The volume now lying
on our table, reflects much credit upon the
Rev. Mr. Coan, as an explorer and writer.
Patagonia is a part of tbe world that one is
glad to learn something about, although he
might not be pleased to become a Summer
tourist among its inhabitants, whom the old
voyagers reputed as tall as the soldiers of
the father of Frederick the Great. We are
pleased to read, in the closing pages of the
volume, a notice of Captain Gardner's missionary enterprise, in that forlorn region of
Terra del Fuego, and where his sad death
forms one of the most touchingrecords ofheroic adventure in the annals of the missionary
enterprises of modern times. There is much
in this volume worthy of perusal, and with
the Rev. Dr. Field, of the New York
Evangelist, we can commend the same to
the reading of those who delight in bold adventure, plucky daring, cool judgment, honest purpose, and missionary zeal.
Valuable Publications.—We would acknowledg,
through the kind ness of Dr. Baker,
of the English Mission a packnge of valuable
publications from our old friend and college
classmate, N. Allen, M.D, L.L.D., of Lowell, Mass. Some of these are from his own
pen, and others relate to the State Charities
of Massachusetts, being the Annual Reports.
In no part of America is more attention paid
to collating and gathering statistics relating
to crime, insanity, sanitary measures, ice.,
than in the State of Massachusetts. Dr.
Allen has devoted much time and attention
to affairs of this nature. He is now quoted
as authority. His efforts in leading the
Trustees of Amherst College to introduce
systematic exercise among the students have
resulted in immense good. They have reduced the death-rate and elevated the health
lone among the under-graduates. It was
our privilege to be the Doctor's guest at the
late meeting of the American Board, and to
learn from his own lips much relating to the
progress of medical science and sanitary
efforts in America. Life is too short for one
person to learn everything, but it is some
satisfaction to know that specialists are laboring in all departments of science and
learning. It is gratifying to read the results
of their studies and researches.
Pomare no More!—The last remnant of
native rule at Tahiti gone forever. The
newspapers report that all Tahitwns are
now French citizens. The descendants of
Potnare no longer rule at Tahiti, or any of
the Society Islands. It is a singular and
curious fact that Monarchical Europeans in
Polynesia have invariably undermined the
native rulers, as at Tahiti, Marquesas, New
Zealand, Fiji, and it is to be feared will soon
succeed at Samoa and Tonga. Whereas it
is a fact equally manifest and incontrovertable, that on the Hawaiian Islands Kepublican
or Democratic Americans have for more than
half a century persistently and successfully
upheld the kingly authority of the Kamehamehas and their successors. Mr. Wyllie's
idea, which he labored for a quarter of a
century to establish an Independent Hawaiian Kingdom, unhampered by Consular
Courts or a Protectorate, would never have
been realized had he not been most staunch
ly sustained and supported by associates and
Americans, loyal and
ests of the Hawaiian
the best inter
King and people.
true to
Charles Burnham, Esq.—We are happy
to welcome this gentleman, who resides, as a
merchant, in Philadelphia. He originally
visited the Islands in 1833, and superintended the building of the Bethel, having
been sent hither for that purpose, by the late
Major Williams, of New London. He subsequently erected the buildings of the Lahainaluna Seminary. After visiting the United
States and returning to the Islands, he became manager of Koloa plantation. He left
again for the United States, and, after an
absence of just 35 years, he now returns
with his daughter, to visit his old home.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Burnham,
when he left his home, and they were our
fellow-travellers on the Overland Railroad,
but in consequence of a severe cold taken at
Ogden, she died at the Grand Hotel in San
Francisco, Nov. 19th, esteemed, respected
and beloved, by the wide circle of friends
among whom she was known. Her remains
were returned to Springfield, Mass. We
bespeak for our friend a cordial welcome
among his old acquaintance on the Islands.

Since the above was written we have
received a letter Postmarked, Edinburgh, Scotland, and find the following upon
the back of the same: " Sorry this has been

our Postage Stamp System to all wishing to
communicate with our islands, in Europe,
and other foreign lands, is very great.

A Son of John Mangero.—Many of our
readers will remember the oft-repeated allusions in the columns of the Friend, during
the past thirty years, to John Mangero, the
translator of Bowditch's Navigator into Japanese, and the Japanese who was educated
by Captain Whitfield, of Fairhaven Mass.
During our absence a letter was received
from his son, dated Tokio. Japan, March
26th, ISSO. We think many of our readers
will be interested in reading this letter, as it
is an indication of what the young Japanese
are doing, in the way ol acquiring the English language, and aspiring to acquire a
professional education.

A Ship's Crew that Turn Out Well.
We were most agreenbly surprised a few
days since to meet a shipmaster, whom we
had not seen for twenty and eight years.
The youth had become the man ; the sailor
the shipmaster. We refer to Captain Berry,
of the Mohigan. In our'interview we
learned the following interesting items:—ln
the Autumn of 1852 Captain Berry belonged
to the crew of the •' Messenger Bird," Captain Ooane, which was loaded with oil, for
the United States. Captain Dome and all
his crew of 13, even to the Negro cook, were
from Cape Cod, and we think, all from Yarmouth. Only three of the crew have died,
and two of them were shipmasters; lost at
sea, and never heard from. Th«_- remainder
are now shipmasters, or have retired, after
successful careers, with ample means. One
of them is the proprietor of a large orange
orchard in Florida.
By referring to the " Friend," of October
19.h, 1852. we find the following names of
persons attached to the '• Messenger Bird:"
—Captain Doane, John Rinnell, Hiram F.
Sparrows, Benjamin F. Berry, N. F. Baker,
J. D. Lathrop, P. B. Chase, R. B. Nickerson and A. D.mne. On further examination
we find that this crew contributed $9:75 for
the benefit of the Bethel, Captain Doane
heading the subscription with S5. Such
reminisences are very pleasant, recalling
those years when, with youthful vigor aud
hopeful enthusiasm, we mingled with masters, officers and seamen of the immense
fleet of whalemen and merchant seamen
who were wont to congregnte in the port of
Honolulu. In a note attached to our
Thanksgiving sermon of 1552, as printed in
the •' Friknd" of Decemb-r 11th, we find
the following statement:—" As an apology
for the strong American tone which pervades the sermon, we would call the attention of our readers to the following circumstances —On Thanksgiving day, the editor,
E. O. Hall, Esq , of the Polynesian, asserts
there were 145 whaleships in this harbor.
In addition, there were 12 merchant vessels,
and the U. S. Frigate St. Lawrence. With
only an occasional exception, these vessels
are all under the U. S. flag. The number
:
of seamen on board these vessels would not
full below 6,000. The amount of property
invested in this large amount of shipping
would doubtless amount to 815,000,000."
While calling on board the beautiful ship
so neatly kept.and while sitting
Mohigan,"
"
cabin,
the
our attention was arrested by
in
Captain Berry's tnste for beautiful flowering
plants, carefully guarded, and the more so,
when he remarked " This Ivy my wife gathered at Chester Cathedral; this Geranium is
from the tomb of Napoleon, at St. Helena;
this Ivy is from Hyde Park, London; this
vinca from Java; this orange plant from
Singapore, and this Wax plant from Cape
Cod, and has been in the ship during the
last five years, or ever since she first was
launched." We did not wonder that the
master of the "Mohigan" should be attached
to his ship, or that his soul warmed up when
he relerrvd to one who had accompanied him
in many of his voyages, but for once remained behind in old Yarmouth. It was
pleasant, also, to hear our friend refer to his
good mother, now S2, who still followed
him, with her affection and prayers, as
when he first went forth a sailor boy, from
that Cape Cod, where the Mayflower first
anchored, before the Pilgrims finally anchored in Plymouth Harbor, and landed on
Plymouth Rock. We are glad to learn
that noble men and women still inhabit
regions associated with so many precious
historic memories.
In Memoriam—Rev. Cochran Forbes.
By the " Australia " news was received of
the decease of this brother, at his place of
residence in Philadelphia, Pa. He died on
the sth of November, after a brief but severe
illness of four days, in the seventy-fifth year
of his at;e.
His arrival here to spend his remaining
years in the family of his eldest son, Rev. A.
O. Forbes, had been anticipated by the same
steamer which brought the tidings of his
death; and many old friends at the islands,
both native and foreign, were waiting to
welcome him back to the much-loved scene
of his former labors. He himself had looked
forward most eagerly to a return to these
shores, and to the re-union with beloved
friends His love for Hawaii nei and the
Hawaiian people had never diminished, but
seemed to grow stronger than ever with the
increase of years.
He was born in Goshen, Chester County,
Pa., July 21st, 1805, and received his education at Reading, Pa in the Academy then
under the care of Rev. J. F. Gner, D.D. In
1828 he entered the Theological Seminary
at Princeton, New Jersey, and graduated in
1831, together with tbe late lamented Rev.
.
Richard Armstrong. D.D., and the now venerable and beloved Rev-W. P. .Alexander,
of Wailuku, who is the only survivor of that
trio Mr Forbes was licensed by ihe Presbytery (if Philadelphia, and at his graduation,
or.lamed in the First Presbyterian Church of
Baltimore, Md.; shortly after which he, with
his newly married bride, saiied with a large
company of missionaries for these islands,
under commission of die A. B. C. F. M.
New Bedford on the ship
whaler bound hither Nov. 26,
IS3I, after a tedious and uncomfortable
voyage of more than five months they landed
here May 17th, 1632, and Mr. Forbes was
stationed at Kaawaloa, Hawaii, where he
remained until 1845; when, on account of
the prostration of his wife from ill health, he
removed to Lahnina. There he remained
till the full of 1647, filling the post of Seamen's Chaplain, nt a time when from one
hundred to two hundred whuleships visited
that port annually. Mrs. Forbe's health not
improving, by the advice of the physicians,
they returned to the United States, leaving
Honolulu in Nov. 1647, in the ship ''Abram
H. Howland," dipt. W. T. Walker, and arriving at New Bedfoid April 2d, 1848, after
a pleasant voyage of a little more thun four
months.
During that year he was, at his own request, released from the service of the A B.
C. F. M„ and was settled as Pastor of the
Presbytery Church at Rural Valley and
Glade River, Armstrong County, Pa. Here
he remained nearly eijjht years, when he accepted a call to Kendalville. Noble County,
Indiana. The cl male of that region, however,
proving very unfavorable to health, after
several years, he removed east again, and
became Pastor of the Churches of Mount
Union and Shirley, in the bounds of the
Presbytery of Huntingdon.
Subsequently, on the establishment of the
Presbyterian Hospital in Philadelphia, he
accepted the post of Chaplain to that institution, where he continued till the df.y o his
death. His beloved wife, Mrs. Rebecca D.
Forbes, had preceded him to the Heavenly
Home Jan 16th, 1878.
His missionary life at these islands embraced a period of fifteen years and a half,
and the total period of his service under the
A. B. C F. M. was seventeen years.
The Philadelphia Presbyterian says of
him : " His kind and gentle ways, and his
cheering and comforting words won many
hearts to himself, and opened the way to
spiritual guidance which will be remembered
by many to whom he had access. His uttractive character and useful life won him
the respect and confidence of all his Christian brethren
Of his fellow-voyagers in the reinforcement of 1812, Rev. L Lyons, of Waimea,
Rev. Messrs. Alexander, of Wailuku, and
Lyman, of Hilo. with their wives, and Mrs.
Armstrong, Mrs Emerson and Mrs. Hitchcock are the only remaining survivors.

POTSDAM AND ITS PALACES.
A few months since, I think I could have

seems less interesting, less suggestive to me

taken on such fine and full proportions; has,
to me, with my somewhat larger and more
accurate knowledge of its Past, become almost another world, that 1 shrink with more
modesty from entering upon such a comprehensive and far-reaching subject in the necessarily cramped limits of a letter. It strikes
me that great richness of material may be a
hindrance rather than an aid to the traveler
in the writing of letters. The more the vista
of the past opens before him, the clearer his
vision becomes in detecting the footprints of
other generations, along the paths Rnd thoroughfares, where he still walks with the living, the greater becomes the difficulty of picturing scenes which once attracted him by
some exterior beauty or charm. And yet
with this widening of the horizon, with this
addition of new and picturesque figures to the
historic landscape, there comes a desire to
share with others something of the pleasure
which their discovery has brought him, notwithstanding, he feels how great is his inability to put them fully and fittingly before
others.

tal. Carlyle calls the region where the
Kings of Prussia built themselves huge and
royal dwellings, " Amphibious!" And I
do not know that the adjective is wholly inapplicable. Just about this point toe river
Havel widens and broadens into little lakes
and bays, sends out watery arms embracing
the low-lying hills, wages war with the
sandy flats, till they compromise by forming a reedy marsh, so that to tell where the
land ends and the water begins, would be
at times far from easy. It required all the
energy and ambition of the Great Elector to
take such a place in hand, and the taste and
industry of his successors to carry on the
work thus begun, to make from these "wildlands," a little earthly Paradise. There is
Potsdam, the garrison town, plain, excessively prim and proper, with great casernes;
companies of soldiers, poorly paved streets,
quiet houses, with a " Rip Van Wynkle "
like stillness and hush enveloping them,
which in long winter evenings becomes
painfully oppressive. And then there is
royal, beautiful Potsdam, a home for Kings,
a joy and inspiration for all. It is a city of
Palaces, separated by splendid parks and
gardens, abounding in architectural and artistic surprises, a place where nature and
art have joined their forces, expressing their
desire for harmony and peace in vinewreathed statues, and columns, in the welcome which the murmuring, bird.filled primeval forest has given to the massive edifices of stone and marble which successive

activity, and in a few moments can be in
this new world, deep buried in the heart of
quiet wood-lands, now thrilled with the delicious surprise, which comes with the unexpected out-look through openings in drooping, leafy branches, on some fair and softly
tinted landscape ; now walking in the midst
of thronging memories through the still corridors and stately halls and marble galleries,
of palaces, whose founders have long since
departed ; or at evening watch from the almost glassy surface of some lake or widening rivercourse, which lies about you,
the glory of the parting day. Long reaches
of pines and oaks stand in out-line against
the warm back-ground of the evening sky;
on the far horizon rise mirage-like the
4,pmes, the spires, the towers of the distant
town; from some wooded height or nearer
point upon the curving border of the lake,
stands revealed some palace or turreted castle, white sails rise from a passing boat,
lazily drifting through the shadows of the
purple twilight; voices break upon the evening's hush, and then as quickly die away;
tbe night air comes fresh and sweet from the
low-lands; stars gleam here and there in the
fading skies, then these re-appear, asserting
their " right " as sleepless watchers of the

which brings us to the town. A palace meets
us at our very entrance, a great bulky affair,
still fast asleep, though the summer sun is
mounting into the heavens, and the sun of
our century is quite beyond its zenith. Some
day it may wake again, but at present it
gives no signs of returning life, and a few
lackeys and guides and watchful soldiers
keep guard over it. You are led through
long rooms, full of fading curtains and tapestries, the walls adorned with old pictures.
Out through the windows you catch glimpses of the great parade ground, and beyond
that some great stone-sculpture, some triumphant Neptune out-riding the waves.
Here, in this town palace, it was that
one of the Prussian Kings, the father of
Frederick the Great, used to hold what wns
called his "Tobacco Parliament" an odd sort
of an affair, which I imagine would be considered rather unkingly in our day. This
was the same king, you know, who had
such a passion for having an army of giants.
He ransacked Europe for them. They
show you still in this old palace on the
Havel, the apparatus, with which he used
to measure them. He paid out millions of
dollars for this purpose. For an Irish giant

The castellian opens a little grated door in
the rear of the elaborate marble pulpit, and
through the flickering light, we see what is
to me, a strangely impressive spot. Nothing could be more severely simple and plain.

REMAINING FOINTS OF INTEREST.
Just beyond " Sans Souci " lies the
famous Wind Mill." of which perhaps you
have often read in history, which Frederick,
king though he was, was unable to buy of
the sturdy-willed old miller. It is partially
covered with ivy. and is a most picturesque
object. Further on is the beautiful Orangery,
with its plants and paintings. We are in a
world of gardens, of fountains, of statues.
They increase as we go forward. With a
few words only can I speak of the great
New Palace," built by Frederick the Great,
"where
we could spend hours wandering with
delight. Down by the shore of one of the
lakes, is the " Marble Palace." Far up the
river lies the Pfneninsel," with its interesting little castle, where the good and beautiful Queen Louisa loved to come in

for this time. So much remains to be seen;

From the boys must our ranks be recruited from time to time, and it is of utmost importance that n good and wholesome influence be exercised over them, the following

New Treaty of United States with China.
This document, as published appears to
be a far different affair from what was expected. So far from expelling the Chinese
from United States, protects them in their
rights, if they choose to remain, and whether
others will be allowed to come or how many
may come, will depend upon future legis-
lation.
Touching, however, the opium clause,
there can be no question. The United
States and the Chinese Government have
adopted the policy of the Hawaiian Government as appears from the following article
of the Commercial Treaty, and we sincerely
hope GreatBritain and the " Great Powers "
will follow in the wake of the Hawaiian,
United States and Chinese Governments :
Article ll.—The Governments of China
and of the United States mutually agree
and updertake that Chinese subjects shall
not be permitted to import opium into any of
the ports of the United States, and citizens
of the United States shall not be permitted
to import opium into any of the open ports
of China, or to transport from one open port
to any other open port, or to buy and sell
opium in any of the open ports of China.
This absolute prohibition, which extends to
vessels owned by the citizens or subjects of
either Power, to foreign vessels employed by
them, or to vessels owned by (he citizens or
subjects of either Power, and employed by
other persons for transportation of opium,
shall be enforced by appropriate legislation
on the part of China and the United States,
and the benefits of the favored claims in existing treaties shall not be claimed by the
citizens or subjects of either Power cs
against the provision of this article.
Hsb. J. M. Smith, thus writes from San
Francisco. •' Mr. Seward, the late Chinese
Minister, has gone to Washington. In his
book, relating to the Chinese, he endeavors
to show that the Chinaman is a useful person, who has largely assisted in developing
California industry, and who cannot be
driven away except withloss. A year ago,
the book would have been " hooted at," in
this city ; now, it may find some candid
readers. There has been a suspension of
the war against the Chinese. A faint prospect, through the new Treaty, that power
might be gained to drive them away, brings
the public face to face with tbe question,
Shall we do it ? And with this question,
come new and divers reasons as to the advisbility of it. As a fact, as proved by statistics, the Chinese have been diminishing
during the last four years. It looks to me
as if this Chinese question would soon subside benenth the surface, and theroto.th.it
has been made over it will clearly appear to
be a political row, fed and fanned by ambitions leaders ; that and nothing more."

years of preparation. The soul was slowly is a city of great names and memories. As
:
!
an educational centre, especially in the department of Theology, it has offered rare
privileges to a great throng of students, not
alone from various parts of Germany, but
from other European countries, and from
America. Its University, while still enjoying sn excellent reputation,has been eclipsed,
now, by the great Universities of Leipsig
and Berlin. Still, Halle, if for no other
reason than its past, cannot fall to attract
many students. Later on in the winter I
may send you a little sketch of this city, so
picturesquely and beautifully situated on the
peacefully flowing river Saale and mention
some of those names which have united to
give this University so important a position.
For quiet, student life, the town seems almost ideally attractive, and is full of a
charm which those great and busy cities,
where some of the German Universities are
situated, can never offer. But now it is my
object to speak of the Halle of well-nigh
two hundred years ago. When Francke
first came here to enter actively upon those
charges which had been entrusted to him,
the University had been opened but a
short time, and he entered with earnestness
upon his professional duties. But he was
not less zealous in his duties as pastor. In
our day, though our charities are far from
being as extensive and well managed as they
should be, yet they are so far in advance of
those of that remote day, that it is almost
impossible for us to conceive of the poverty
and destitution which this young pastor was
forced to see in his parish. His great, noble
heart was kindled with zeal to do what he
could for the oppressed and poverty-stricken
and forsaken members of his flock. He
gathered the children from the street about
him, instructed them, and gave them such
assistance as he was able. But his own
limited means allowed him to do but little.
He turned in this way ana that. He endeavored, through soliciting contributions, to
gain some assistance. He wrote and published, and the profit frOm the sale of his
writings he consecrated to the poor. In his
house he placed a little contribution box, >n
the hope that through this some aid might
come.
And help was nearer than he
thought. One day a lady placed there a
small sum, only a few thaiers, but small as
it was, it was destined to produce mighty
results. Francke welcomed it as a token of
promise, and on the very same day began,
definitely, those labors on behalf of children
which, after a lapse of two centuries, are
continued with such beneficial results.
What lessons are contained in the little
things of life! The '• Widow's Mite," was,
and is, deemed worthy of the Master's Blessing. The glory, the beauty, the power, of
human effort lies in these little beginnings.
Every life bears within it the seeds of tbe
grandest achievement and noblest heroism !
What encouragement and incitement there
is for each one, no matter how humble the
stand, how limited the resources, to grand
and glorious faith and deeds, which shall
bear blessed fruit for time and eternity! On
this small capital, then, Francke began his
work. At first the outlay called only for a
few books, and a teacher, engaged for a
short time. But this was something. Soon
another little contribution box found a place
in the pastor's house, and as the young pas-
�tor's heart grew great with hope, and longing, and tender desire, his prayers became
an earnest cry for help. Like the early
drops of a shower, which is later to abundantly bless the earth, little offerings began to
come from one side and another. An interest was awakened in-the city of Halle, and
in different parts of the country. The
school for poor children steadily increased.
Then one by one those children who had no
parents or friends to care for them, found in
Francke, as it were, an earthly father sent
by their Heavenly Protector to watch over
them ; these were given a home, and food,
uud clothing. Then a school for children of
wealthier parents was opened. The progress
of Faith never ceased. We, who see the
results in this later day, read of the mighty
operations which date from that distant
time, admire the splendid buildings which
have been reared, one after another, forget
the first steps which led up to all this.
What times of discouragement- and of difficulty this brave worker must have had! On
one side he was occupied with the duties of
his University Professorship; on another
with his labors as a pastor of a poor and
needy parish. Then his enemies and persecutors gave him no rest, and his pen must
be kept busy to defend himself or his faith
against false charges which were brought
against them. And then there were growing up as answer to his prayers and effort,
various schools and organizations, which
called for constant and discriminating attention. A general commanding a mighty
army in the midst of some fierce engagement, is an impressive figure ; lifted for the
time to an heroic and almost superhuman
height! How infinitely more so is such a
leader, who is at the same time a herald of
peace I Towards Easter of the year 1695,
he began his first slight efforts. In 169S
the corner-stone of an Orphan Asylum was
laid! There were those who laughingly
and sneeringly predicted thai it would never
be completed. They lived to see how little
worth their prophecies had. Others came
to help. The rich and poor gave out of
their abundanceand their poverty. Francke,
not contented with gathering the orphans
about him,remembered also the poor who
were in need of proper food. Hundreds
were the recipients of this bounty. Sometimes there was seemingly no possible
means of carrying on the various efforts for
good. At times those in charge came to
tell him that there was no money left to
supply the wants of so many hundreds for
the ensuing day. But the faith which had
been kindled at the beginning into such a
fervent glow, still burned brightly in
Francke's heart. At the most unexpected
moments,from known and unknown sources,
help came in one form or another. At
length the main building for the orphan
asylum was completed, and its founder
placed over the entrance :—

and is buried in the old cemetery of Halle.
His son followed him as superintendent.
Since then this noble work has been carried
on most efficiently, and to-day remains as a
splendid monument to the faithful worker,
who has now entered upon his heavenly re.yard. Thousands of orphans have in the
Asylum found a home, Christian love, and
careful training, and have gone forth to be
a blessing to the land. Thousands of other
children have received here their education,
and have grown up to be useful men and
women in all ranks of society. From this
centre, millions of bibles have issued for
Germany. Here missionaries and teachers
of the world, in far distant lands, have received their training. Here the poor and
hungry have found food ; the widow a home
and protection. No one should visit Halle
and not pay a visit to these various schools
and institutions, and they are worth coming
from far to see. The buildings form an immense complex, a village in themselves, surrounded by extensive gardens and grounds
for recreation and exercise. You scarcely
can repress an exclamation of astonishment
at seeing what has been here accomplished
in an exterior and material way, and this is
only the envelope of that spiritual life which
is still so active here.

DOES HOT OUR POSTAL SYSTEM
NEED REFORM?
If 814 letters " Short-paid." were forwarded from tbe New York Postoffice to
the Hawaiian Islands, during 1880, does
not this fact indicate the need of reform ?
Probably as many more Were forwarded by
Mr. Dougherty, of the San Francisco Postoffice. When is this state of things to be
remedied ? If Mr. Hopper, at New York,
and Mr. Dougherty, at San Francisco, were
to cease their philanthropic labors,we should
be in sad case of bewilderment. Some of
our people so far appreciate the efforts of
these gentlemen,that they have sent forward
handsome testimonials ; but slas, it appears
from the report of Mr. Hopper, in New
York; only 65 replies were received for 814
letters forwarded ! This is rather a poor
•
showing !
From our local papers, we learn that Government officials and Foreign Representatives are sadly mourning over the loss of
their letters. We would suggest that search
be made in the " Dead Letter Box," in
Washington. Now, we nut in tain, that the
adoption of the "International Postal Union"
would effectually remedy this deplorable
state of irregularity in our present postal
system, it required twenty years of earnest
effort on the part of a few citizens, to bring
about and secure the Reciprocity Treaty,
but we hope our present postal system will
not be suffered to exist for that period, before
we shall enjoy the benefits of the Postal
Union treaty.
George F. Hopper, Esq., connected with
the New York Postoffice, having a brother
residing in Honolulu, naturally feeling an
interest in our Island community, has, for
years, volunteered to forward " Short-paid
letters, passing through that office. It is a
noble and generous act on his part. So far,
so good. But is this the method to be pursued in an affair of this nature? We do
not notice any effort on the part of the Hawaiian Government, or the Postmaster Genoral, to remedy this sad state of affairs,
This is a subject demanding immediate
action, and thorough reform. We are somewhat surprised at the apathy on this subject
of our three weekly papers, devoted to the
business, commerce, and welfare of the Hawaiian Kingdom. In all civilised countries,
except the Sandwich Islands, it is accounted
among the first elements of civilization, to
enjoy a good postal system. While nearly
every ether country on our globe is now
"
within the " Postal Union," our little " pinhead " Kingdom thinks best to stand outside.

Gleaners.—The children connected with
Fort Street and the Bethel Churches have
been organized into a society called the
"Gleaners." They send their Missionary
contribut ons to help the children of Micronesia. At agathering held last week, on
Friday, at the residence of Mrs. E. C. Damon, Secretary of the society, the handsome
sum of $135 was collected, from a " Fair '*
and " Ice Cream," under the special management of Miss Hessie Dickson, Miss Nellie
Judd, and others.
America Receives the Lion's Share,
Under the Reciprocity Treaty.—This is
a view which we have often asserted, but
now figures prove it, to any one who will
carefully peruse tbe Custom House Report,
as recently published. We should suppose
that the moat captious critic of the treaty
would be satisfied with its working in favor
of the United States. If its renewal and
continuance at Washington, depend upon
securing the Island trade, arid the development of the resourcea of the •' Pacific Slope,"
there can be no doubt about it.
A Scotchman's and a Chinaman's Brain,
Compared.—lt is an interesting subject of
study, to note the influence of the mind
upon man's physical nature ; but especially
his brain. It has long been a settled point
that men of great intellectual powers have
been poseesssed of large brains. So well
has this matter been settled as to originate the saying that to speak of a man as
possessed of a large brain, was equivalent to
eomplimeut him with uncommon intellectual
force or power. Our attention has been
called to this 'subject by reading an interesting article in the Victorian Review, published in Melbourne, in January. The article is by James Jamieson, which indicates
where. Not less remarkable, though explicable in the same way, is the fact that
the average weight of brain in sixteen Chinese coolies, taken by chance, was found to
be greater than the European average, and
even that of the Scotchman. There may
be some other explanation; but the modifying
influence of an ancient civilization, and
though of rather a low order, must naturally
suggest itself."

city February 2nd, after an illness of only a
few hours. She was spending the winter
in that city, in company with her daughter.
The Islands have been her home, with occasional intermissions,for thirty years, arriving
here in 1851,passenger on board the " R. B.
Forbes." Her christian virtues, loveliness of
person nnd character, endeared her, not only
to family friends, but to a wide circle of acquaintance here and in America. She was
born in Carthage, New York, April 1, 1823,
and married in 1842. For many years she
had been a member of the Baptist Church.
While tendering our warmest sympathies to
fam'ly friends, we can speak of Mrs. Spencer as one of those rare, beautiful, noble and
Christian ladies,whose presence make happy
homes, and adorn society.
Our limited
community can ill afford to spare one
whose character rendered her so deservedly
esteemed and beloved.
Mr.
Moody's Meetings in San Francisco.—We
rejoice to learn that the interest
in these meetings is increasing, rather than
abating. The general influence is most
salutary, even aside from the religious bearings of the subject. We copy the following
from the Pacific, of February 2nd:—
In the hearing of our informant an officer of the police court said : " As long as
Moody and Sankey remain, we might as
well adjourn this court." Others have noted
"
�the check that has been given to crime, in
all its grades, the last few weeks. Tbe fact
is not without value in itself, but it is chiefly
significant as showing how permeating, farreaching, and constraining, is the work of
Gods spirit, through these men and their
co-adjutors. It has gathered force, strength,
breadth, depth, through the weeks. We
have met with no one who thought it had
culminated."
Rey.W. H. Woodwell.—This clergyman
and his wife arrived by the last steamer,
from San Francisco. He is a graduate of
Andover Seminary, and has been preaching
a few years in New England.
He is expecting to labor among foreigners on the
-t-assss)
Plantation. P. C. Jones,
Esq , has been very active in securing his
services. We congratulate our friends Mr.
nnd Mrs. Whitney, Mr. Goodale, and others
on the arrival of Mr. Woodwell, who comes
highly recommended.
We are glad to hear of the prosperity
of the Young Men's Debating Society. In
a community where the temptations are so
strong to work only for greed of money, and
to seek enjoyment only in sensual pleasures,
it is an encouraging item that there are some
ready to take up the work of cultivating
their higher faculties, and to find their
enjoyment in such exercises as elevate the
whole nature to higher attainments and so
to higher joys.

Tracks is Japan An account of

and tue Shrines of Nikko and Ist- By
lisabslu L. Biao, author of •• A Lntiy
Lile 10 tha Rocky Mountains." "Sis Months
in the Sandwich Islands,'' etc., etc. in two
volumes, with map nnd illustrations. Mew
York. 0. P Putnam's Sons, 1881.
This is a rare and choice book of travel.
There is great wisdom in the choice of the
title " Unbeaten Tracks." The writer has
not followed in the track of other tourists
and travelers. Former experience as traveler and writer, had taught her just what
was necessary for successful exploration
and description. Having read with interest
Miss Bird's volumes on th •• Sandwich
Islands " and the " Rocky Mountains," it
has been with no little desire, that we have
looked forward to the appearance of these
volumes. There is still another reason why
we have been somewhat anxiously awaiting
the publication of these volumes, for s-oine
months ago, it was our privilege to be a
guest with the author in one of the cultured
homes of Scotland, in they cinity of Edinburgh, when she kindly allowed us to read
some proof-sheet pages ofthe English edition
of these volumes. We then partook of the
first fruits of the rich harvest, which wns in
store for the multitude ofreaders now perusing these goodly volumes on both sides of
the Atlantic, which Murray in London, and
Putnam's Sons in New York, have issued in
such becoming and commendatory style, it
is pleasant for the eye to rest on the fair
and handsomely printed p.iges of Putnam's
edition now lying on our table. Miss Bird's
former books of travel, to which we have
alluded, gave her position and reputation as
a bold and daring traveler, possessed of rare
descriptive ability. We feel quite confident
that these volumes will more than sustain
that reputation. Of some writers it has
been said, that in their first publication,
they strike " 12," but ever after are striking
the smull hours. This surely cannot be asserted of Miss Bird.
Kr.owing from her Hawaiian and Kocky
Mountain experiences, some of the difficulties awaiting her in the unexplored regions
of Japan, it must have required considerable
nerve, in her feeble health to have projected
her Japanese tour. Already had she circumnavigated the globe, by way of Australia, and now she must again leave the luxury and refinement of English society and
home, to re-cross the broad Atlantic and
•
-
-
broader Pacific, and forsaking the " beaten
track'0 travel alone for weeks and months
among the people of Japan. In these volumes she tells her story of adventures, inconvenience, hardship and pleasure. On
Hawaii and the Rocky Mountains, she had
acquired reputation as a bold and fearless
rider, performing feats of horsemanship which
some regard as incredible, but in Japan, ere
iter journey is half completed, she writes
thus : " I have now ridden or sat upon 76
horses, all horrible." vol. 1., page 322.
Sometimes this delicate-lady would walk
for many miles over the roughest and muddiest roads, cross rapid streams in leaking
ferry-boats, ascend dangerous rivers, force
1881.
her way over rugged mountain-passes with
only a native guide, explore volcanic regions ns difficult ot access as any on Hawaii,
and live among the " hairy Amos," as she
did in the grass houses of Hawaiians. The
chapters in these volumes on the char.cter,
history and condition of the " Amos of
Veso, open up a new phase of the human
race. The " Amos
tire the original inhabitants of Japan, but as unlike the Japanese, as the North American Indians are
unlike the Anglo Saxons.
Our narrow limits prevent us from copying many pages beautifully descriptive of
Japanese manners and customs, mountain
scenery and scientific exploration. Miss
Bird is s Botanist of in irked ability. It
is however to her descriptions of the state,
condition nnd prospects of the Jap-nese
people, that we have been particularly
drawn. While she is not an enthusiast
upon the success of Missions among the
Islands, yet she writes with great candor
and fairness fully appreciating what has
already been accomplished among a people
whose old religion »nd superstitions are
waning, and where the christian element is becoming prominent. She often alludes to
the fact that foreign influences of an injurious nature are gaining ground among that
people. She was fortunate in securing the
services of an intelligent Japanese very
anxious tn acquire the English language, in
which he had made already good progress,
but some of his efforts were quite ludicirous.
Miss B,rd thus writes on page 320, vol. I.
A few days ago, I remarked, ' What a
"beautiful
day this is !' and soon after, notebook in hand, he said, you say ' a beautiful day.' Is that better English than ' a
devilish fine day as most foreigners say ?"
Again, •' when you ask a question, you
never say ' what the d—l is it f as other
foreigners do. Is it proper for men to say
it and not for women ? If he wishes to tell
me that he has seen a very tipsy man, he
always says he has seen 'a fellow as
drunk as an Englishman.' "
Our limits remind us that we must stop,
but on almost every page we find something
we would gladly transfer to our pages. Our
readers must resort to Thrum's book-store
and buy these interesting volumes if they
would enjoy what we have done and hope
to do again. We really feel that the reading public are under an immense debt of
gratitude to Miss Bird, for while other
writers have followed the " beaten path
and visited Consular and open ports, she
has thrown herself among the 34,000,000 of
Japan, and told us just what she saw and
what we are glad to learn.

dington, of the United States whaler George
Henry. She was purchased, fitted out. and
sent to England as a gift to her Majesty
Queen Victoria, by the President and people
of the United States, as a token of good will
and friendship. This table was made from
her timbers when she was broken up, and is
presented by the Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland to the President of the United States
as a memorial of the courtesy and loving
kindness which dictated the offer of the gift
of the Resolute."
Temperance in England.—The people of
Leeds, England, are to be congratulated upon
having for their chief magistrate a total
abstainer, Mayor Tatham a member of the
Society of Friends, who neither uses wine
himself or provides it for his or the city's
guests. At a recent opening of a workingmen's tempcrence hall at Shipley, Mayor
Tatham said: "Temperence was the root
of all social advancement, while its opposite
led to sickness, distress and ruin. If it was
only possible to obtain a nation of total
abstainers there \v6uld be no pauperism, no
crime and no lunacy, but comfort and abundance " He had " invited the council to
dine with him without the usual accompaniment of intoxicating liquors," and again he
had repeated the experiment, and with very
satisfactory results, when it fell to his duty
to give an assize dinner, at which were
judges, leading members of the bar, etc.,
and he added : •' Even if Her Majesty
visited Leeds she might well be entertainei
on the same principal; at least she woult
be if she visited the hall during the time
that it was his official home. He had no
wine in his house for forty years, and he
made no exception in the mayor's parlor at
the town hall."

HAI.I.K ON THE BAALE.
I am going to give myself the pleasure of
sending you a few words In reference to
this pleasant University town where I have
been spending a delightful winter of study,
trusting that they will not be wholly without Interest for you. The name of the
town is almost always given with that of
the river which here wlndevand ourves picturesquely through the low-lying country
which characterizes this part of Germany.
The region is a well-known one In Prussia ;
not very far away is the Saxon Iwnndary
and Leipzig; to the north Is Madgeburg ;
only a few hours distant by train Is Berlin,
while to the south Is the beautiful region
of Thuringla.
The town Is many
centuries old, and still retains much of Its
ancient appearance,though modernizing Influences are now busily nt work here. There
was very early a settlement of Servian slaves
here. But these disappeared before the advancing armies of Charlemange, and we
And the name Halle first historically cited
in 806 of our era. Tn the middle ages-the
town was a centre of great commercial activity. Here were built great churches
and convent*.and a huge castle dominating
the city. The citizens were brave and
freedom-loving, and contended valiantly
for their rights against the tyrannical rule
of Emperor* and Bishops, and took an active part in all the political disturbances of
successive centuries. Now, after so much
unrest and commotion, a better day of
peace has dawned upon the ancient town.
Here is an excellent university with hundreds of students, very many important
philanthropic institutions, foremost among
which stands the world-famed Orphan
Asylum, founded by Hermann August
Franke, of which I have in a previous letter, written you ; and here, too, are many
flourishing industries and manufactures.
During this summer Halle will be the
centre of attraction for all this region or
country, because of the Industrial exposition which Is to be opened in the spring,
and to which contributions will be sent
from this portion of Germany. The buildings to contain the same are now in proosss
of erection, and present already a fine and
imposing appearance. Any one arriving
in Halle cannot, I think, fail to be imvenerableneu of the

ancient mediaeval town still may be seen,
set in the midst of new buildings, as a prop

tions and ramparts. The old town is a
luhvrinth of crowded, narrow streets, filled
with busy life, bordered l>y old-fashioned
houses. The MarketPlace "is one of the
quaintest and most interesting I have seen
in Europe. This "great, irregular square
with its monuments and encircling houses
and churches, has been one of my especial
delights this winter. I wish you might
see It as it now appears covered with a pure,
gleaming mantle of snow. The other
morning, notwithstanding the bitter cold,
I visited it when the Saturday market was
at its height It formed a picture such as
it would be difficult to even imagine in the
tropics. The main portion of the Platz
was filled with market booths, containing
all manner of articles, which buyers from
town and country could desire. Buyers
and sellers were hurrying hither and thither, muffled up in great furs and wraps.
Groups of peasants from neighboring villages and estates gathered to exchange greetings, and, notwithstanding the keen and
frosty air, laughed and jested merrily in
their rough, hearty way. in singular contrast to all this busy, active life at its base,
rose above theheads of tbe peasants below,
the stately bronze statue of Handel, ttie
great musician and composer, who was
born in Halle in 1885, and died in I
lon
in 1759. The artist has executed his work
"
"
in most praiseworthy style.
"
The figure is
very grand*and imposing, clad in the rich
and elegant court dress in vogue in England in the lastCentury,and which seems especially well adapted for therather pompous bearing of the composer. At one side is a
music stand, bearing the score of that most
beautiful of all oratorios, The Messiah."
The frost and sun has played all manner of
tricks with the bronze. The heavy
?[iieer
rills and ruffles have grown snowy white.
No court hair-dresser could have adjusted
his perfumed powder on the curledperruque

and bronze, have here rule. And yet not
wholly—for one heart at least in the surging crowd below grows warm, and faith
rises on triumphant wings, and from unseen choirs seem to convey to the listening
ear the glorious music of the Hallelujah
Chorus." Not very far away, down one of
the winding streets is the house where
Handel was born. The majority of people
pass it without noticing the little tablet
there placed which mentions this fact. But
this would scarcely be the case with you.
Facing the Handel monument is a very
elaborate and splendidly executed monument to the memory of the soldiers of
Halle, who fell in the Franco-Prussian
war. It serves, at the same time, a practical purpose, being a fountain, surmounted
by a German soldier in mediaeval costume.
I like the Idea of the fountain. It seems
as if the names of the fallen—those of the
husbands, the lovers, the brothers, of these
women who are busy here this morning in
the old market place must speak a welcome
in a certain mute way of their own, to
them, as they come hither to draw water
from those stone basins with their Gothic
carvings. As near neighbor to the fountain is a massive and rather clumsily
carved stone figure, called "Roland," one
of the guardians of the city, a figure well
known in Hansa cities. He has held his
drawn sword pointing heavenwards for
many generations.
Above him rises a
huge and yet .finely built tower, one of
the ornaments of the city, where the deeptoned bells have their home, which, from
time to time, fill the air with great waves

One of their offices, a heritage of the olden
times, is to officiate at funerals. Yearly a
deputation from their number goes up to
Berlin to present certain gifts, salt, eggs,
etc., to the Emperor, an ancient custom.
Only a few days ago this occurred. The
company, dressed in their most characteristic attire, were received in ceremonious
style by the Emperor, after which, at dinner, they served the Imperial family at
table,present ing the simple gifts which they
had brought with them, on golden plates.
Tlie University forms the central point of
the life here. There are over thirteen hundred students, and here they form a more
important feature than in a large city like
Berlin. Much of the old German student
life has disappeared with these later days,
which seem to be antagonistic to the variety and individuality of more primitive
times, and are removing many picturesque
features. But there is still much that is
interesting to a stranger. Now and then
one sees the handsome velvet coats with
their elaborate trimmings, which were
formally so popular with the students; but
these are comparatively rare. But everywhere are to be seen the caps—of all colors;
blue, violet, crimson, etc.,—of the various
societies and associations, which play such
an Important role In German universities.

and brilliant one.
The ancient university of Wittenberg,
where Luther lectured, waa united long
since with that of Halle, which has itself a
considerable historic record. The "Theological Faculty" has always attracted a
large number of students here, and this
department of the university has certainly,
because of this man who lived and labored
here for more than half a century. As far
back as 1831, the well-known author of
Researches in Palestine," Dr. Edward
Robinson, said ■■ To the American Christian
who travels on this part of the Continent,
Tholuck is undoubtedly the most interesting person whose acquaintance he will
make. He possesses a greater personal influence and reputation than any other
Theologian in Germany." What was true
then of Dr. Tholuck, lovingly styled the
Student Professor," was true for many
"long
years which followed. In Christian
homes, all over the world, the name of this
German Professor and earnest Christian,
and great souled, loving man, has become
dear and familiar.
Ithas been, this winter, my .privilege,
one which, as you can readily understand,
I cherish and prize most highly, to live In
the home where, for so many years, this
brave Christian soldier, this friend and
helper ofyoung men, passed the larger part
of his active earthly life; where he gathered about him a remarkable circle of
friendsand pupils; and where the summons
came to him to enter into the glory of the
higher Life of Heaven. The widow of
Professor Tholuck is still living, and to her
kind courtesy and hospitality, I am indebted for one of the mostcharming experiences
of my German life. I cannot resist the
temptation here to mention her name in
connection with that of the famous Professor and Theologian, by whose side she
stood for so many years, winning all hearts
by the rare sweetness and beauty of her
life. May she long live to carry forward

''THOLUCKSCHEN STIFT."
The whole story of Professor Tholuck's
life Is full of grand inspiration. Tt was a
life of struggle and of victory. He had to
contend, from earliest childhood, with difficulties which would have been almost
insuperable for any one who was not filled
with a dauntless courage. His Intellectual
development was precocious nnd amazing.
As a linguist, he was rarely gifted, and was
"at home" in an incredible number of
languages. But his great power lay in his
passionate devotion to the Divine Master
and His Cause, and In his boundless love
for the students whom, he gathered about
him. Almost as a youth he began to contend with the proud Rationalism which
ruled so widely in Germany in the early
part of this century, and his enemies were
forced to yield. His lecture-room was
thronged by hundreds and hundreds of students fascinated and conquered by the
the
marvelous power, the subtle
convincing eloquence of the man. From
all parts of Europe and Germany, from
Englnnd, and largely from America, came
yoUng men attracted by the fame of this
devoted Professor, to learn of him. For
fifty years, ttere in Halle, he fought the
good fight, and witnessed, as a loving disciple, and anointed and inspired apostle for
Jesus Christ, the Friend and Saviour of
Humanity.
Here still remain the rooms where he
lived and spoke and thought and wrote and
prayed. Here are the thousands of books

covered, vine-draped walk, where he caught

cemetery near the town are the cross and

Flowing water was first struck at a depth of
250 feet, When down to 273 feet, 0 inches, Mr.
Dillingham thought the now was sufficient, and
.work was discontinued in the well. Mr. Pierce
afterward* persuaded Mr. Dillingham to go
down a little deeper. This was done and with
satisfactory results ; at the present depth of 30(1
feet, the flow is three times as great as it was at
273 feet.
Mr. A. D. Pierce, who has had so much
success with artesian wells in this neighborhood,
has now moved over his boring apparatus to
Mr. Wing's place, on Lilihit Street. The well
there is down thirteen feet, but work is stopped
at present, aa Mr. Pierce is waiting for n new
engine. This well is being bored at the joint
expense of Mr. Wing, Mr. Fisher, Mr. S. K.
Kaai, Mr. J. I. Dowsett, aud Mr. 8. D. Burrows,
and the supply when obtained is to be available
for the properties of all these gentlemen lying

Marques' neighborhood, Mr. Pierce put down
a fifty-feet well for that gentleman near his
house. Twelve feet of water was secured, which
was a satisfactory result, the water being only
required for pumping purposes.

Just as our paper was going to press, Mr.

Letter of President Garfield to his Classmates
in the Hawaiian Islands.
The following correspondence of the President
of the United States of Americawith his friends,
one of whom (J. M. A.) whs with him during his
course of study at Williams' College, is interesting
as illustrating his kindly feelings towards Americans residing in these Islands.
Makawao, December 22nd, 1880.
General James A. Garfield.—Dear Sib : The undersigned, graduates of Williams' College, livUlg
on tbe island of Maui, Hawaiian Islands, feel impelled to express their congratulation™ to you on
your election to the office of President oft.l.c
United States of America ; although some of our
number formerly addressed you on the occasion of
your nomination; for mingled with the high gratification we feel in the triumph of the party that represents rightooußiioßS aud national prosperity and
progress, we feel a peculiar pleasure in seeing our
Williams' College honored by the election of one
of her sons to so high u position.
From our rememberance of the influence of our
venerated President Hopkins and of the other
Williams' instructors we would have had peculiar
confidence in a selection from the roll of our
alumni for any position, even the most responsible
and honorable. And we say with cordial sincerity
that your former expressions of your views and
principles on public matterstogether with all your
public career, makes us augur well for the. future
of the magnificent country whose government you
are to lead ; and we hope that with your consideration of the vast interests of that nation, you will
feel an interest iv this little country of the Hawaiian Islands, which was civilized and christianized by Americans, and which has so large a proportion of its population composed of people from
the United States of America, conducting its business and commerce and exerting a paramount influence for good government and for the progress
of Christianity, that it feels as keen an interest in
American affairs as though it were one of the
United States; nestling like a tropical bird under
the wing of the American eagle.
Besides us who subscribe our names from this
district on Maui are many other graduates of
Williams College and of other American institutions, on the other islands, who would gladly unite
with us in these congratulations.
We are sincerely and respectfully yours,

Dear Friend*: Your letter of the 24th December
came duly to hand. Though many duties press
upon me, I cannot deny myself the pleasure of
turning aside for a moment to thank you for the
happiness which yourkind words have given me.
Of the many congratulations which come to me,
none are dearer or more cheering than those I re
ceive from the graduates of Old Williams.
With kindest regards to each and every one of
you, I remain, very truly yours, J. A. Gabtuld.

New Church on Hawaii.
H. M. Whitney, thus writes, under date
—
of March loth:
"The new Pahala Church, located on the
Hawaiian Agricultural Company's Plantation, in
Kan, Hawaii, was dedicated on Sunday, Feb. 27.
Key. J. Kauhane, conducted the service in
Hawaiian, the audience being composed of
foreigners, as well as natives. The church
edifice is small, but very neat, built with gothic
windows and stained glass, and has a seating
capacity for about two hundred persons. It is
intended for the joint use of foreigners and
Hawaiians, residing in the neighborhood. The
entire cost will not exceed $1600; and yet the
natives say it is the prettiest and most attractive
house of worship on Hawaii. The foreign population, resident within three or four miles of this
church, numbers forty or fifty,while the Chinese
and Hawaiians will swell the number to two or
three hundred."

ANOTHER
CHINESE
COLONY.
CHRISTIAN
It affords us great satisfaction to announce, that there arrived by the Septima,
about 40 additional Christian Chinese, accompanied by one who has been employed
for three years, by the American Missionary, Rev. Dr. Happer, in mission work. Dr.
H. thus commends him, under date of Canton, December 6th: "There is a young
man goes out by the Septima, Mr. Tsang
Kwai, who has been a Colporteur, for me,
for three years. He Is a useful man. Has
a good knowledge of the Bible, and a good
character. I would suggest him as one who
might be employed In Christian work. His
wife is a Christian, with a good education
and could teach a girl's school, or a class of
women, and his sister has also been through
a boarding school for girls (among the
Germans."
We are most happy to learn that P. C.
Jones, Esq., has engaged these laborers for
theKau District, and made generous provision for Mr. Tsang Kwai and family to
act as their pastor. The Hawaiian Board
contributes $100 per annum for his support.
The importance of having these Christian
settlementsot Chinese at Kohala, Makawao,
and Kau, cannot be overestimated. It is
the] Christian Chinese far more than the
Heathen Chinee," who bring their families, wives and children.
"
The labors of Moody & Sankey, as
revivalists in San Francisco, reunited, asys the
Bulletin, in adding on Sunduy March 6th, Aye
hundred and fifty-two new members to the
" orthodox" churches of tho city. " The
wickedest city in the world," needs revival and
reform ; and we ho_pe that in future it will send
us only good Moody men.

Evangelistic Movement in Germany.
During our sojourn in Berlin, Germany,
last summer, it was our privilege to meet
tbe Rev. Mr. Davies, who has been acting as
Agent of the British and Foreign Bible society for many years. He is married to a
lady from one of the best families in the
Empire. Tbe following report of his late
address in London,we find in the New York
Observer, and we feel confident many of
our renders will peruse it with interest:
'• Rev. Mr. Davies said that 11,000,000
copies of the Holy Scriptures have been
circulated in Germany and Switzerland, and
spoke as follows of the spiritual change
that has taken place : " Twenty-five years
sgo, when I was a student at the University
of Berlin, one of its most distinguished and
aged pastors told me that when he came to
tbe city there were not more than three
ministers who believed in the Divinity of
Christ, or preached Paul's doctrine of justification by faith ; and now he said the difficulty would be to find three who did not at
least profess to. Another clergyman, who

UNION
It appears that the Postmaster General of
U. 8., at Washington, has addressed a letter to the Hawaiian Government intimating that the present existing treaty between this Goverment and the U. H.
Government must cease at the end of six
months. Hence uuless we are brought into
harmony with other civilized nations, we
are thrown back upon the old chaotic state
ofPostal affairs. Wo should suppose there
could be hut one way for the Government
to proceed, and that forthwith we must
come into the International Postal treaty.
But we hear the cry, this Island Government cannot afford the expense, better wait
and count the cost! Wiry even now this
Government is subsidizing the steamers at
the rate of $1000 per mouth. Now this subsidy will be iitali/.i'il.
We rejoice to learn that the Minister of
the Interior has appointed Dr. Hyde, Mr.
Atkinson, und Mr. Thomns (i. Thrum, a
committee to s udy up the subject. Let us

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-N0.52
EASTWARD AND HOMEWARD.—NO.
1.
For a number of years my gaze has been
westward, aa I have sent with the sunset,
my greeting of aloha to you and the islundhnme, which lies like some bright gem on
the broad Pacific. But now, I have turned
Parsee, and welcome, with the zeal of a
Fire worshiper, the coming of each new
day's sun in the glorious eastern sky, on
whose fair horizon I see tbe gaol of ray
rambles—growing ever brighter andjclearer.
And all this meuns that I am coming by
the way of the East, to find you once more,
and that wee bit of this earth which is,
somehow or other, dearer, infinitely dearer
to me than anything else I have found in
all these years. Do you wonder that my
morning hymn is jubilant ?
I have been half tempted to give up adding any more to these letters of travel,
which, for si long a time, I have been sending you. As the eye grows more skilled in
seeing, the very amount of the matter, the
profusion of Incident, the infinity of the detail, which is offered a traveller in the
olderparts of the Old World, fairly trammel him. If he would try to write, he
finds himself a pigmy trying to sketch a
giant; and the absurdity, the impossibility
of the undertaking, render him so ridiculous, that he would willingly throw paper
and pencil to the four winds, and escape, If
possible, the half sad, half sarcastic glance
of those eyes dim with the ages, whoso
solemn meaning be fancied he had fathomed. I have grown painfully, perhaps
morbidly, conscious of this of late: living
over again the life of peoples and cities,
whose history has been written for centuries. As I was saying, I have been half
tempted to write Finis," to the familiar,
rambling descriptions you have allowed
me to send you. But the habit has grown
so upon me that I find It harder to rid myself of than I would have thought possible.
Then I am so limited for time that I am
forced to count my moments as it they
were grains of gold, and can only give you
my list of names of places visited. For
anything more thansuch a summary would
be impossible.
Jean Paul speaks of certain words which
are of themselves half-battles," and It
would scarcely be an exaggeration to say
that there are a few cities whose names are
whole epics. Hence, a bare enumeration,
if it be built of such material, may set
your thoughts into a glow, and move your
heart with a power which scores of written
pages might fail to do.
I wrote you last from Halle, and will
sketch an outline of my journey since

city was Verona,where I spent one day and

days ; after this one night in Bologne, one
in Ravena, one In Padua, and two or three
days in Florence. "On my way to Rome I

going thence from Naples. There I take

Government has been making such valuable excavations. I have letters to several
gentlemen connected with the excavations,
who will doeverythlng to aid me. In Athens
I hope to spend several days, and then take
the steamer for Constantinople; aud, on
my way back, perhaps, visit Troy, on the
coast of Asia Minor, and so proceed to
Smyrna, Beyrout, Jaffa, Jerusalem and
Egypt. I would like to arrange ho that, by
the last of April, 1 would be leaving for
India, China and Honolulu.
I cannot express sufficiently the delight
that ray Italian Journey thus far has given
me, and the week I have spent in Home
has been worth years of study. The old,
classical world and the early Christian period have been so real to me. Anything
later seems to have but little charm for me
justnow ; but the Forum, the Colosseum,
the Palace of the C»sers, and all the wonderful remains of that wonderful era, fill
me with unbounded enthusiasm. Home is
crowded with visitors. One is constantly
meeting pleasant people. The menibirsof
the German Embassy have been most kind
and hospitable to me ; but there is so much
to see here, and so many fascinating points
to visit, that I have tried, as much as possible, to avoid making acquaintances. Rome
is delightful, impressive, infinitely stimulating. It is one of the grandest points of
the world to visit, and, I am sure, one can
never have a right idea of that marvellous
classic time till lie comes here.
But, I find my pen has run on unwittingly, and I must return to
A CITY OF THE MIDDLE AGES.
Some old German chronicler once wrote,
on a page which has now grown yellow
with the years, "Fs ist nur Fin Nurmberg,"
(There Is > nly one Nuremberg.) And
after standing the other day amidst the
precious relics in this treasure-house of
German Mediteval art, I can testify to the
truth of the statement. 1 was on my way
to Rome, and as all roads lead to Rome, I
came by the way of Nuremberg, and several other places, as you will see. It would
be a great pity for any one to leave Germany without seeing this intensely German
olty. I don't wonder that the modern Germans are fond of it; there would be very
little of the national feeling in them if
they were not. IfI wanted to teach a boy
the meaning of honest, patient labor, of
conscientious devotion to art, of the pursuit of the beautiful far beauty's sake, and
not for money, I would send him to Nuremberg, aqd let him study at the feet of
Peter Visoher, and Adam Kraft, and Albrecbt Durer, and the other members of
that goodly company, who have helped to
make this old city of the Empire famous.
If you want to breathe the air of Nuremberg, without coming all the long way hither, you will find It in perfection in an exquisite little poemof Longfellow's, bearing
simply the name of the place as its heading, if I remember correctly. Interesting
as Nuremberg would always be because of ■
the memories of the place, and the various
treasures of art which are preserved here,
it is rendered doubly so because of the dc- j
llghtful mediuoval character of the whole I
city. There is no other city in Germany,
perhaps in all Europe, which has been so j
remarkably preserved. From the moment

�THE FRIEND,
ble,though I would like to do so with all my
heart. I presume Ruskin has done it, as
far as it is possible for any mortal to do it,
but I think he would laugh at the idea of
one's putting Venice into words. One forgets that there is a noisy, hurrying world
about
anywhere in existence, as he driftsami
dein his gondola, and feels the peace
licious restfiilnessof a dreamy stillness encircling and enveloping him, soothing
tiretl nerves, and banishing the thought of
care. You learn to long for the musical
plash of the gondola oar, as a cradle song,
and find your supremest happiness in being
tnken, morning, noon and night, into cool,
shadowy and mysterious nooks of this city,
which has sprung, Venus-like, from the
sea. The air thrills now and then only
with the cries of the boatmen, and then the
stillness comes again. You see only the
marble bases of wave-washed palaces, or
negpicturesque facades, poetic, ruined,
lected. And far above their roofs and carven traceries, is a fragment of the blue sky
floating like a banner, colored witli the
sunset, and then piercetl with stars, your
only link to the world outside. If you can
ever get away from the charm of the water long enough, you will go the strange,
oriental, fantastic, bewildering cathedral of
the city, called St. Marks. It is well that
the light falls so dimly through its windows,
for otherwise, your eyes would be dazzled
by all these costly marbles, and mosaics,
and splendid arches. It is as difficult to
give you an idea of it, as of Venice itself,
for I have nothing with which to compare
it, it is so unique. Nowhere else ill all
the world does one see such golden glories
as here. Just before the Duoino is the famous Place of St. Marks, with its palaces
ami stately Campanile; antl near by is the
magnificent palace of the Doges, and the
dreary prisons, and the famous aiid gloomy
" Bridge of Sighs." One little excursion I
made to one of the islets lying near Venice,
was peculiarly interesting. This was to
the Armenian Convent of St. La/.are, of
which so much has been written.
Venice abounds in stately churches and
palaces, but its grand, central point is the
palace of St. Marks, of which I have
works of art of the rarest value, important
libraries, and all the splendid relics of the
Mediciau rule. Perhaps, however, you
will linger longest at the quiet old convent
6f Han Marco, where Fra Angelico painted
his sweet-laced angels ami Madonnas, and
where Savnnorala lived, and thought, and
prayed. From his little cell, which is here
shown, he came forth to meet that fiery
death, which was, however, for his heroic
antl martyr soul, a translation.
The spring is just beginning to dawn on
the hills, iv whose embrace Florence lies.
If this is the beginning, ouly, what must
the perfected beauty be ? I had much
pleasure in seeing in Florence Mr. anil Mrs.
J. J. Jarves,and their charming children.
Though Mr. Jarves left Honolulu so many
years ago, there are still those who will remember him most pleasantly. His home
here is in an interesting old palace, where
he lias gathered about him choice and valuable works of art, which his highly cultivated and refined taste render him singu-
larly atlapted to appreciate.
From curliest childhood the Leaning
Tower of Pisa had been most familiar to
me, and I found here the other day, in seeing the reality, quite what my curly fancy
hail pictured. Tne cathedral and Baptistry
are beautiful; few edifices in Italy have
charmed me more. In the latter is a marvellous echo. The guide sings one note
after another, and they blend in the dome
above in the most exquisite of silvery harmonies* To please me, he sang, in various
pitch, our musical word, aloha," which
came back to me in a shower ol melody.
From Pisa to Rome is a journey of some
hours. I came by the western coast, and
had fine views of the Mediterranean, and a
glimpse of Elba in the blue distance. And
here we are, at the gates of the Eternal
City, and here, I think, for the present, we
will pause. Perhaps some other day we
will talk of its treasures and memories.
To-day is the first day of the Carnival, and
the sun is shining gloriously in a cloudless
sky. The air is filled with the spring songs
of the birds. Just before me rises Monte
PI nolo, ami I notice, ou all sides, the promspoken above. If you think me too enthu- ise of the New Yeur, snowy, white almond

let me know what you think.
ON TO HOMK.
I find I must condense, more and more,
witli every onward step of the journey—
and this is far from easy. After leaving
Venice, I visited two exceedingly interesting old Univeisity towns, ftidua and Bologna, which,for me, had a peculiar charm.
They are two of the most ancient, and
were, atone time, two of the most famous,
seats of learning iv Europe. I shall not
soon forget the cordial courtesy which I
met with from certain of the Professors,
who did so much to make uiy visit interesting. Though we may never meet again,
the memory of their attentions will always
be most pleasant and abiding. A source of
great interest to me was a visit to the once
famous city of Ravenna, near the const of
the Adriatic. The ancient Christian Basil-
icas, which one sees here, of the sth and
6th centuries, bring with wonderful vividness before the mind of the visitor, that
interesting period iv the history of the
Church. Here, in Ravenna, Dante, the
greatest of Italian poets, ended his sad and
unrestful life, and here he is buried. His
tomb is simple antl unpretentious. Near

FOURTEEN THOUSAND CHINESE ON
THE ISLANDS!
Some weeks ago the Saturday Press asserted that there were 13,000 Chinese on
the Islands. That statement was admitted
as true. Since then, one or two immigrant
ships have arrived from China. Certainly,
our present Chinese population would
amount to 14,000. The large majority are
males, in the prime of life. They equal a
fourtli part of all the inhabitants. The
Chinese male laboring population will
equal all the male laborers of ail other nationalities—English, American, German,
Portugese and Hawaiian.
This is certainly a most serious and sober
fact for contemplation, on the part of all
well-wishers to Hawaiian Independence,
Anglo-American civilization,and Christian
Evangelization./'We leave, just now, for
others, the consideration of this subject in
its financial, economical, political and
labor-supplying aspects. We do not ignore
the gravity of the subject In every one of
these aspects. Our rulers, our merchants,
our planters, and our fellow-citizens generally, are called upon to study this subject.
This is a subject also, which has its religious
views. The friends of Evangelization and
Missions are now called upon to rise above
race prejudice, sectarianism, or selfishness,
and put forth a more decided and aggressive
agency. All professing the faintest form
or semblance of Christianity, are called
upon to become, in earnest, Christian Missionaries. Wo are brought face to face
with a mighty breast-work of pure heathenism. The Orient and Occident meet on the
Hawaiian Islands, as they never met before. The sons of Japhet and the sons of
Shem parted at the Flood, or at Babelone branch of the human family going
west, aud the other going east, and now
meet in almost equal numbers on the Hawaiian Islands.
Every possible means
should be undertaken and carried forward
for their Evangelization. There is no wisdom in standing aloof and murmuring at
the ways of Providence." 'Schools must
be established,unti encouraged. Colporteurs
must be sent fortli antl sustained. The Hawaiian Board has a most important work
on hand, equal to that in Micronesia, or
the Home field. It is for Christians to organize Sabbatli schools. If money is
needed, it must be forthcoming.
Let no one imagine that England and
America, having once forced open the
gates of China, they can be closed. Read
the following paragraph, copied from a
New Zealand paper:
"Chinese Emigration —The Chinese are
amongst the greatest of colonizers. Certainly, they seem to have made up their
minds to take possession of the whole
East. This people, In whose social and domestic lives there are so many gentle virtues ; these commercial men who succeed
in busiin-ss, no matter what part of the
world they go to ; these Chinese diplomatists, who equal any British statesman in
diplomacy ; these energetic Chinese, who,
when they meet a difficulty, as Sir John
Davis said, take time fur tiieir fulcrum
and patience for their lever," and wait for
the time to come when they shall overcome
the difficulty ;—what is to become of thin
people will,before long, be one of the greatest problems of the world. Statesmen of
all the Western countries will have to take
this matter into consideration, and say,
W hat is to be done with the vast emigra"tion
that Is going on?" Some of you may
think that 1 am speaking in rather exaggerated terms; but, do you know that the
Chinese are pouring down in a living torrent upon Cbambodia, Slam, the Malay
peninsula, the Celebes, the Philippine Islands, aud Papua, aud the myriad Islands
of Polynesia? And they are going north
in vast hordes to Thibet, and Mongolia,and
Cores. San Francisco and all California
are feeling the pressure to an extreme extent. It is evident that since the Chinese
have begun to move—and they are very
fond of going abroad—this question of what
is to become of them is a very serious one.
Now, remember, they carry with, them
their manners, and customs, and Idolatry.
Societies that are working in connection
with the Chinese, should make this a serious matter for consideration, snd feel the
importance of the work they are carrying
on."

1880.
Six years after the American Mission
was established on these Islands, in 1820,
the American Board of Missions desired to
send hither, around Cape Horn, a small
schooner, to run among the islands for the
accommodation of the Mission. It was
built at tbe suggestion of the Rev. W. Ellis, of Missionary fame, who had visited
the islands. Its measurment was 49 feet
long, and 13 wide, and 40 tons register,
lacking about half a ton. The Board gave
Mr. Hunnewell the frieght of the vessel,
on condition that he would navigate the
little craft to Honolulu. Be it remembered
Mr. Hunnewell had been mate of the
"Thaddeus," which brought the first missionary company to Honolulu. Leaving
Boston on the 18th of January, 1826, she
arrived here on the 21st of October, having
made the passage in fl months, anchoring
80 times in 20 different ports.
Our limits will not allow lis to say half
we should be pleased to say about the
voyage, its commander, and its results.
Suffice it, on Mr. Hunnewell's arrival he
delivered over the vessel to the Mission,
and established the mercantile house
which, under various names, has long been
known as C. Brewer <fc Co," which originally occupied a counting-room on the
premises of C. B. & Co.'s upper store, on
Fort and Hotel Streets.
The volume lying on our table is printed
in quarto, on beautifully tinted paper,
broad margin, and is in all respects most
neatly and tastefully executed. Besides a
steel engraving of Mr. Hunnewell, there is
a large portrait of Kamehameha I, with
maps of Cape Horn, Ac, Ac. The volume
also contains the "Log" of the voyage,
and much other matter. It was published
by a son of the hero of the voyage, who
now resides in Charlestown, where he dispenses a generous hospitality, and enjoys
what Cicero would style Olium cum digni-
"
tate.

Remarks by Bishop Cleveland Coxe, in
a late number of the New York Independent:
"Ever since I became a minister of the
Crucified, I have appointed that hymn for
Good Friday,at evening prayer ; arid,truly,
even at the close of the unspeakable consolations and elevations of our liturgic worship on that blessed day of days, I have
found it coming iv to give the solemnities
a completeness and a fragrance which they
would have lacked without it. It was like
the perfume of Mary's ointment, that filled
the house, and which only Judas failed to
delight in. O ! how years come back to
me laden with memories of my Good Fridays; those holy evenings, especially, at
the end, when the dying daylight reminded
us of the meditations of the Marys as tbe
Sabbath drew on." Then in rich, sweet,
simple music, borrowed from the worship
of Magdalen College, Oxford, to look upon
the Cross and pour out the heart's emotions
in the words
"
—
Death of Thomas Caklyle. -English
and American papers generally notice the
death of this renowned author. His hatred
of all shams, we suppose, led him to make
the following allusion to that Hawaiian
Queen who braved the terrors of Pele, and
offered her prayers, on the crater's brink,
to Jehovah:
"A certain Queen In some South Sea
Island, I have read in Missionary books,
had been converted to Christianity; did
not any longer believe in the old gods. She
assembled her people ; said to them, My
faithful People, the gods do not dwell In
that burning-mountain in the centre of our
Isle. That is not God ; no, that is a common turning-mountain—- mere culinary
fi-.o burning under peculiar circumstances.
See, I will walk before you to that burningmountain ; will empty my washbowl Into
it, cast my slipper over it, defy it to the
uttermost, and stand the consequences!"
She walked accordingly, this South Sea
heroine, nerved to the sticking-place ; her
people following in pale horror and expectancy : she did her experiment ; and, I am
told, they have truer notions of the gods
in that Island ever since. Experiment
which it is now very easy to repeat, and
very needless. Honor to the Brave who
deliver us from Phantom-dynasties, in
South Sea Islands and in North I"
Temperance Revival.—During the past
month several Temperance Meetings have
been held. One was addrrssed by Captain
Bray, of the "Morning Star," and another
by the Rev. Mr. Forbes. Efficient Committees have been appointed, which are
now operating in various ways, throughout the community. Much good, It is believed, will thereby be accomplished.
The friends of Temperance have not
awaked one moment too early to join the
friends of Temperance in other lands, who
are wonderfully revived and quickened in
the work. We cannot open a paper from
either the 0. S., Scotland, or England, but
we read notices of a wonderful Temperance
revival. The conviction is gaining ground
that rum-selling and rum-drinking are
curses, under which the world has groaned

THE FRIEND, MAT,
EDITOR'S TABLE.
HIS MAJESTY IN JAPAN.
Letters and papers bring full reports of
the brilliant reception given by tlie Emperor and people of Juj.mii to our King.
Our narrow limits, alone, prevent us from
noticing the same in full. There was, however, one pleasing incident deserving of
special mention, as it refers to that chord
of Christian sympathy existing between
the friends of Missions and Christianity,
* in the two countries.
When the news of Commodore Perry's
successful negotiations reached Honolulu,
In 1863, our Hawaiian Missionary Society
appropriated $1,000 of Its limited funds for
Japan, and placed the same ut the disposal
of the American Board. As that society
had not then established a Mission in that
country, the money remained in the treasury.
When fhe 11. S. 8. Powhattan visited
Honolulu, in 1860, Chaplain Wood applied
for the money to build a Union Chapel in
Yokohama. The request was complied
with, but from the unavoidable delays, the
Union Chapel was not erected until 1875.
(See Friend, Jan., 1870.) The friends of
Missions, on the 10th of March, held in
tills Chapel the Ninth Anniversary of the
organization of the Native Church of
Christ in Japan, in accordance with the
following programme :

jesty's reply:
A special duty which rests ujx>n us to-day
is this : this house of Cod in which we
meet to-tiay owes its erection to the gener-
ous dorm titm of a large Bum of money from
Hawaiian Christians, to build the first native church in Japan. This money was
entrusted to the mission of the Reformed
church iv America for our use.
By the generous gifts of others, which
were added to this, and the exertion of our
first teachers, this church was erected, ami
was dedicated to the worship of Ood July
10th, 1875, from which time it has been
freely used by us.
We well know the
source of that love which was seen in this
on the part of your Majesty's people,

"PUSH THE ENDOWMENT OF OAHU
COLLEGE."
We copy this lino from a letter received
a few weeks ago from Hawaii, and from
ono whose children were educated there,
and whose money has been given to the
present endowment. Only a few days
since we met a friend of the College, who
has contributed towards the present endowment,and who said to us:"I am so much
interested in Punahou I cannot sleep
nights I My children were educated there,
and I hope my grandchildren will be there
educated." We believe there is a deep and
growing undercurrent in favor of doing
something noble and generous for this institution.
Since the above paragraphs were written,
tlie Trustees have held another meeting,
when the Committee of Arrangements
made a report, which was approved. At
the close of tlie College year iv June, in addition to the Annual Examination, there
will be a festive entertainment on the
grounds, and a public gathering at Fort
Street Church in the evening. In due seasou a programme will be published.
It is hoped the Trustees will be able to
announce some definite plan in regard to
enlargement and endowment. Among so
many hundreds of Alumni and friends, it
would be passing strange if something
quite handsome cannot be done !

very favorable auspices, with the co-operation
of the churches in endeavoring to help the fallen

movement has formed itself into a Working

Power was given each Committee to secure

These various Cemmittees have entered upon
their labors with a zeal that must carry success
with it. The Gospel Temperance meetings that
have been held at the Bethel vestry, conducted
by Captain Bray and Bey. A. 0. Forbes, have
the true ring in them to help the fallen, and at
the same time strengthen the Christian's heart.
We want more of this self-sacrificing effort by
members of the Y. M. C. A., and others, if we
would see the work of the Lord prosper in our
midst.
The next general meeting will be held on
Monday evening, May 2nd, at 7'/, o'clock, at

all interested in the cause of Temperance are

The fact that all ages are admitted to its membership, and all classes cordially invited to its

iy The annual meeting of the Y. M. C. A.
held on the 14th ultimo, at the residence of the
retiring President, Dr. J. M. Whitney, was an
occasion, as usual, for social festivities after
the routine of business, to which a large number
of friends and members of the Association gathered. Prayer was offered by Bey. W. Frear,
and after the election of officers, the various reports were presented. The Treasurer showed a
satisfactory state of the funds; total receipts,
over $700; all bills paid, and a balance on hand.
The Secretary reported a membership of 57, and
a year of full activity in the various lines of
Christian work.
The Address of the retiring President contained a resume of the work of the Association
during his term, and closed with un earnest appeal for the admission of ladies to its privileges
and labors. A tribute of recognition of the
sympathy and support of Bey. Mr. Frear, whose
resignation of the pastorate of Fort Street

FROM ROME TO ATHENS
Should you ever meet with a man who baa
no interest for history, send him to Rome,
and he would need to be there but a
short space of time to feel the awakening
of a new sense, >>r at least to be made painfully aware of bis great deficiency. It Is a
city which brings some special message for
every one out of the great and instructive
school of the Present, which we call the
Past. Its ruins,its fallen columns, are its
most eloquent representatives. Its silence
has more Impressiveness than the wisest
of spoken words. We speak of Rome's
past greatness; there is, to my thinking, a
present greatness here, a greatness whleh
will last as long as the seven hills, on
which it was built.
Either go to Rome for a short time, or
for a life-time. Iv the former case you
will not be there long enough to go Into
detail, and hence will take away with you
only certain Kreat and impressive outlines,
while In the latter you may have time to
follow out leisurely and calmly the minor
details of historical research. To leave
the city at any intermediate point between these, would, I think, be both
irritating and unsatisfactory.
Rome is many-sided. There is room here
for a world of seekers. For my own part I
would say that, f«r the time I was there,
the monuments of its classic, Imperial,
and early christian days eclipsed all else.
Anything of later dat«, grand and suggestive though it might be at any other time,
at this seemed an intrusion, and almost a
wearisomeness.
The zeal with which the excavations and
researches at Rome have been prosecuted
both by Italians and foreigners, has done'
much to restore to us a portion of that,
old Roman world, which had, as it were
been lost for centuries. Ttje old Forum
has been laid open to the inquisitive gaze
of this later day, and one glance at these
arches and columns, and shattered temples
and shrines is wortii months of book-study.
I found the fascination of the place irresistible, and kept coming back again and
again to it, and each successive visit left
me longing for another. You are permitted to wander here without guide or guardian, a privilege which is as delightful as it
]s rare, in these regions haunted by tourists
and kept largely under lock and key.
Leaving the Imposing, superb columns of
the Temple of Saturn, one passes under the
triumphal arch of Septimus Severus, and
then on to the Comltium, where the assemblies of the Roman people were held; then
on to the Via Sacra, with Its monuments,

past the huge arches of the Basilica of Constantino, out through the arch of Titus, till
you face the stupendous pile of the Coliseum. Above you on your right Is the Palatine, with the endless ruins of the Palaces
of the (knars. Behind you rises the Capitol; further, on the JSsqulllne, the ruins of
the baths of Titus, where the "Oolden
House" of Nero once stood. There is a
haughtiness,an imperial pride in this ruined
world which is marvelous. It Is as If by
some singular metamorphosis* the spirit of
heathen Home had been transmuted here
to stone. These are captives you have before you; captives wounded and scarred,
maimed, ana loaded with chains; but with
hearts unsubdued, and pride unbrokenroyal slaves I
The moonlight, which I missed hi Venice, favored me here in Rome, and splendidly impressive as I found these classic
reminders in the Sprint? sunshine, the
effect which they produced in the silver radiance of the moonlight was infinitely
finer. This was especially true of the Coliseum. It was in the healthy season, so
that there was no fear of the malaria, and
the robbers and ruffians who used to haunt
thesepreolnets have disappeared, with the
advent of bettor police regulations In Rome;
so there was nothing todlsturb tin- most sentimental visitor. The ruin of this immense
Amphitheatre, lying partly in dusky shadow, and partly in the pure white light of
the moon, is one which those who are permitted to enjoy It will not soon forget. The
light and darkness seem to symbolize the
history of these walls, which have heard
the dying hymns of martyred Christians
and the brutal cries and shouts'of a reigning Paganism. The moon rises higher anil
higher towards the zenith, till the great
gulf of the arena is filled with light. The
shadows have fled—Whither ?
There is constantly this interlacement
here; your daily rambles offer you Christian and Pagan Remains, at the same
time. So It was with that delightful day's
excursion when we went out to visit the
Catacombs of St. Callsto, and the Applan
Way. Before reaching the arch of Drusus,
near the gate of St. Sebastian, Just under
the ancient walls of Rome, there were the
graves of the Sciplos to visit, and the Columbaria, or vaults where in rows of niches,
the funeral urns, with the ashes of the
dead were placed. From here the way
leads directly to the Catacombs; of these
most Interesting reminders of the early
Christian days there are several excavated
and thrown open to the public. But those
of St. Callsto are most generally visited, as
offering most points of interest. You
leave the warm, balmy air of the Carapagnla and are burled away in a moment with
the memories of that long-ago time, which
to the Christian Church of to-day is surrounded by a beautiful and sacred halo.
The guide—and here one is very welcome
and necessary—shows you long, winding
in whose walls are the niches
• passages,
wheie the Christian dead were placed, the
chapels where the living gathered to sing
and pray and hear the words of the New
Faith, and pauses now and then before
some inscription or half obliteratedfrescoe
which was placed or painted here by living
hands. There are here, often repeated, the
various symbols which are now familiar to
every one; symbols expressive of faith,
hope, a belief in a glorious Immortality.
Most touching of all is the painting of the
"Good Shepherd," bearing the lamb upon
his loving, patient shoulders. The colors
have grown faint and dim: the torches
flare fitfully, and a certain mist has gathered in your eyes, but the eternal beauty
of this Divine love, here roughly represented, fills and floods the heart with a
boundless Joy.
The 'Applan Way" one should not fall
to see in coming to Rome. Here heathen
Rome honored its dead with splendid
tombs and stately monuments, and here
are. for miles, to be seen most striking
ruins. From this point, near the great
Mausoleum of Can-ilia Metella, there la a
splendid view of the country about Rome,
and the wonderful arches of ancient aequeducts, which give a singular beauty to this
most charming landscape. In the distance
are the Alban and Sabine hills, at this
season crested with snow. To serve us a
fitting crown for this rare historic day, In
coming home, we paused for a while to
wonder at the ruins of the Baths of Caracalln." Then there are the Pantheon, Hint
wonderfully preserved heathen temple, the
tomb of Hadrian, now called the Castle of
St. Angelo, and countless relics besides.
Here there are several "Romes," for you
to conquer; the Rome of the Middle Ages,
of the Popes, of the Artists, and, If you
have time, Modern Rome, a most interesting study. Crossing the" yellow Tiber,"
you pass Into that world of memories
which St. Peter's ami the Vatican represent.
But on these now we have scarcely time to
"
enter.
NAI'LKS AND VICINITY,

middle of the Bay, facing the city, and you
will never grow weary of gazing. There
is this great, rambling city, stretching for
miles along the shore, and on to the hills,
dominated by the fortress of St. Elmo.
Beyond, the towering cone of Vesuvius,
with its eternal altar-fire, to right and left
the splendid curves of the coast, and on
either side the lovely Islands of Capri and
Isohia. Then add to these outlines the exquisite tints of the coloring, the etherializing effects of this southern atmosphere,
the wonderful hues which light and glorify
the waters here, and you have a picture
which is delicious in its reality, but which
is not to be framed in words. But you
need to see Naples itself from a distance;
too near acquaintance dispels much of the
illusion. Tlie poverty which exists here
among the people is most distressing, and
form! sad snadows in the otherwise so
beautiful picture. Notwithstanding this,
in the crowded, noisy city there is much to
Interest and amuse the visitor. Every one
seems to prefer the streets to his home, and
the thoroughfares are, from early morning
till late at night, full of a laughing, chattering, shouting crowd. A noisier city I
never entered. The Museum oi Naples is
a treasure house of antiquities. Here one
sees most of the interesting articles which
have been found from time to time in
course of the excavations at Pompeii and
Herculaneum, beside countless other reminders of old Roman and Grecian tlays.
The principal point to visit near Naples is,
of course, Pompeii, where one sees the
ruins of that provincial Roman town,
which, eighteen hundred years ago, was
destroyed during an eruption of Vesuvius.
The excavations, which have now been
carried on here for a number of years, have
laid bare about one-third of the city; probably, however, the most important part.
Every child knows the history of Pompeii,
which is so full of pathetic and tragic interest. Here one Is taken vividly back to
classic days when he visits the homes of
those unhappy families who here perished
beneath that fiery rain of ashes from the
near volcano; sees the theatres, the temples, the market-places where the people of
this gay and careless city were wont to
gather.
A charming excursion may be made by
steamer about the bay of Naples to many
points of Interest You may thus see Castilamane, so beautifully situated above the
blue waters of the bay, then Sorrento, with
its orange groves, and further on, the
Island of Capri. Here, those who have
time, stop to see the famous Blue Grot-
"
toe." This Is a great cave In the rocky
coast. There is only a little opening from
the seaward side. Your boatmen, skilled
and trained men, watch for the right moment when the tossing billows rest for an
Instant, and then, all crouching down in
i he bottom of the boat, you dart under this
rocky portal into a lofty cave, lighted by
the most wonderfully beautiful blue light,
an effect produced by the peculiar formation of the opening in the rocks and the
reflection from these crystally clear waters.
One gloriously sunny day I spent with
friends in classic rambles to Pozzuoll, the
ancient Putioll which Paul, the Apostle,
once visited; then to the celebrated "Luke
Avernus," of the ancients, near which was
supposed to be the entrance to the underworld. Here Is now a peaceful and serene
lake, in a setting of exquisite verdure.
Passing ruins of temples and villas, the
roatl takes us through the "Elyslan Fields"
to Cape Misenum, which those who are acquainted with Virgil's .'Kin-id will recall.
Since leaving Naples, I hear there has
been a new eruption of Vesuvius, which
has again reminded "the people of the
plain that it would be wise to build else-
"
where than so near its fiery dominion.
FROM SEA TO SKA.
It requires a little firmness and resolution to keep from stepping on to the steamer which would take you from Naples to
Sicily in so short a space of time, and so
easily. One is constantly meeting people
who have much to say of the charm of a
visit there. But this is a part of theworld
wher* firmness in keeping to one's plan of
travel Is necessary, as there are numberless
ways where your feet would willingly go,
anti which offer a thousand attractions.
But my way was Eastward ! This meant
for me a railway journey of a day and a
half, from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic, from Naples to Brindisl. The first
afternoon's Journey is as far as Foggia. In
the distance as the evening begins to fall
one can see the distant mountain summits
of the Abruzzis, onoe the home and haunt
of famous Italian Bandits, the terror of the
neighborhood, and of travellers in the old
days, but who have since disappeared.
From mountains, on the following day, we
pass to the long, level plains of the Italian
shore, skirting the Adriatio. The road lies
through Barletta, not far away from which
is the famous historic battle-field of Cannae, where, in the year 216 B. C. Hannibal
and his army won such a bloody victory
over the Romans. From here on to Brlndisi, is a continual welcome from the South
and the Summer For miles and miles the
train bears us on through endless plains of
olive trees, sweeping off to the low-lying
hills on the west, and to the deep blue
Adriatic on the east. Every now and then
white towns and villages flash out of a
setting of lemon and orange trees. It is a
picture in striking contrast to the white
world of snow and ice I left so short a time
ago, north of the Alps. I feel like one who,
having wandered far from home, finds once
more the path which leads thither. Now
it is a tuft of palm branches, now a spray
of passion-vine, or the perfume of southern
fruits, which guide the willing feet towards
the wished-for goal. At Brindisl, where
the poet Virgil died, on his return from
Greece, the steamer is waiting to take us
across the Adriatic.
THE IONIAN ISLANDS.
It is a run of about twelve hours from
Brindisl to the Island of Corfu, where I
stepped first on Greek soil. The principal
town of the island Is finely situated, facing
the sea, on the hjlUide, between two
strongly fortified; and splendidly situated
fortresses. Since. 1863. Corfu, with the other

In Ohio. The following notice of her present surroundings, will be read with interest. It Is copied from the Springfield
Union.
•' The apartment occupied by the President's mother is a large square room on the
south side of the executive mansion, about
mid-way in the wide ball that serves as a
sort of sitting and reception room for the
President's family. Its three windows
overlook the flower garden and lawn in the
rear. The room Is a sunny one, made more
cheerful by a bright Axminster carpet and
window draping to correspond, and ft wood
fire in a wide, old-fashioned grate with
glittering brass andirons and fenders. There
are appropriate mantel ornaments and little womanly trinkets scattered about, and
two or three handsome Turkish rugs before
the bed and sofas. Beside the rocker,
where the dear old lady sits with her knitting, or muses upon the checkered career
of " son James," Is a beautiful white bearskin, with fur a finger long, upon which
rests her feet. To have her home in the
White House, the most honored figure
within its walls, Is certainly a great change
from other days within her remembrance,
when, left a widow in straitened circumstances, she washed, and cooked, and
toiled and saved that her children might
be educated. Her stalwart son, who, over
thirty years ago,grew so tall that she could
walk under his outstretched arm without
stooping, still defers to her slightest wish
with the same obedience that he rendered
when a boy. Her's has always been the
post of honor at the General's table ; no
matter what distinguished guests are present, she Is invaribly served first. A sweeter picture has seldom been seen than this
little white-haired matron made, whose
head barely reaches her son's elbow, when
she came proudly forwarv with tears In
her eyes, to be the first to receive him as
he entered the executive mansion, President of the United States, escorted thither
by the grandest civil and military display
that Washington has ever witnessed."

CHINESE IN CHICAGO.
It was a curiously significant scene, and
withal a pleasant one, witnessed in the
Young Men's Christian Association rooms,
in this city last Monday evening. It was
a banquet which a number of gentlemanly
"Chinese laborers" took it into their
heads to give certain of their American
Christian friends who bad evinced so sincere an interest in their welfare, in the
Sunday and evening day-school. The sous
of the Flowery Kingdom were in full
bloom, quiet, radiant, und attentive. Their
invited guests must have numbered about
two hundred. The tables were beautifully
adorned and sumptuously louded. Speeches
were made by Secretary Powell, Mr.
Franklin Fisk, and Ah Sing Get. The
latter, in spite of his somewhat broken
English, spoke with simple eloquence of
the doctrines of Confucius as compared
and contrasted with the teachings of
Christ. His indignant, yet altogether dignified scorn of the treatment shown Chinamen by the hoodlum element in America,
was quite worthy of the nation he comes
from and the Christian faith he has accepted. The entertainment was enlivened
by the singing of a number of hymns by
two of the young men. The "Moody &
Sankey songs lost nothing by tin slight
Chinese-brogue with which they were so
earnestly rendered. The happiest man
was the Chinaman holding his
iltle son of perhaps a year's age. The
same evening the Chinamen of Cincinnati

that the American Nation, with its big

ashamed of its alarm at a few " Chinese

hoodlum element in politics.—Advance.

CHINESE IN BOSTON.
Monday evening, the 7th, a reception
was given at the Mt. Vernon Church,
Boston, by about fifty Chinamen, who are
members of the Sunday-school connected
with the Society. The class, which was
formed by Miss Harriette Carter two years
ago, has grown until the average attendance Is fifty, representing all the walks of
life in which Chinese are found, merchants,
students, laundrymen, etc., and it has become one of the permanent institutions
of tha> city. The reception was the sole
work of tlie scholars. Tickets were issued,
inviting ladies and gentlemen connected
with the church and the City Missionary
Society and the feliow-countrymen of the
scholars, and over 300 were present. The
sociability of the evening was interspersed
with literary exercises and music. Sing
gave an address of welcome, and Moy Lett
Fon, a young man who is preparing for
the work of a Missionary, also made an
address. These addresses were replied to
by Rev. D. W. Waldron, City Missionary,
and Deacon Torry, of the Berkeley Street
Congregational Church. Ah Dong and Ah
Roy sang There is a Happy Laud." Five
of 'the scholars performed a selection of
Chinese music on Chinese instruments,
creating a peculiar din that was much enjoyed. After a supper provided by the
scholars, the reception was closed by devotional exercises.—Boston Paper.

�THE FRIEND, JUNE,
Marriage of Dr. Bishop and Miss
Bird.—A marriage took place on Tuesday,
in St. Lawrence's Church, Barton-on-theHeath, Warwickshire, between Jno. Bishop,
M. D., F. R. C. S. E., of Edinburgh, and
Isabella Lucy, the only surviving daughter
of the late Rev. Edward Bird, rector of
Wyton, Huntingdonshire.
The ceremony
was performed by the Hon. and Rev. Walter
R. Verney, assisted by the Rev. A Nettleship, rector of the parish. The bride was
given away by her cousin, Major R. W.
Bird of Barton House. Owing to the bride
being in deep mourning the wedding was
strictly private, and only a few near relatives
were present. The event excited great interest from the fact of the bride being the
distinguished traveller and writer, whose
interesting works on Japan, the Rocky
Mountains, and the Sandwich Islands have
given so much gratification.

AN ACCOUNT
OF
THE POLYNESIAN RACE,
ITS ORIGIN AND MIGRATIONS,
AND THE
ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE HAWAIIAN
PEOPLE TO THE TIMES
OF KAMEHAMEHA I.
BY
ABRAHAM FORNANDER,
CIRCUIT JUDGE OF THE ISLAND OF MAUI, H. I.
K?nOHT COMPANION OF THE BOYAL ORDER OF RALALA.CA.
VOL. 11.
LONDON:
TRUBNER &CO, LUDGATE HILL
1880.
[Allrights reserved.]
Mr. Fornander has so arranged his book
that there is no learning its contents without a thorough reading of its pages. A
good Table of Contents is a good key to
unlock the treasures of a book, and when
one has ascertained what those contents
are, a good "Index" will serve to recall
those contents to mind. Now, Mr. Fornander has neither Table of Contents,"
or "Index." The volume before us, however ,contains a great amount of linguistical,
historical, and traditionary lore, relating
to the Polynesian Race.
One topic discussed has never yet been
fully presented to the English-reading
public. We refer to Polynesian navigation, during those long ages before the
discoveries of European navigators in the
Pacific. There can be no doubt there was
intercourse among the islanders on the various groups in this great ocean. The
question arises, how could they steer their
courses from the Hawaiian Islands to Tahiti, to Samoa, to New Zealand, to Marquesas? Tradition says they steered by the
stars." Mr. Fornander has full confidence
in this theory, for he remarks, on page 19:
"

"And the criticism which rests content with the apparent difficulty of navigating the Pacific Ocean in

as of the then Intellectual status of those who perthem. Certslnly, the difficulty of the Polyneeiformed

period, whether single or double, was no greater than
that of the Norsemen navigating the Atlantic to Iceland,

This is a subject of much interest, but
our limits will not allow its further discussion, just now. We shall refer to it,
and other topics, at a future time. We
only add, the book is issued in good style,
by Trubner A Co., of London, a firm which
has dono so much to promote Oriental
studies.
In one of Mr. Moody's Bible readings
in San Francisco, he made this pithy
and weighty remark, "When I pray, I
talk with God, but when I read the Bible,
G >d talks with me."

"Bible Readings."—At Whitney &
Robertson's may be found Moody's Bible
Readings, and they merit careful perusal.
He has enough pithy sayings in his "Bible
Readings" in San Francisco, to fill a small
volume. If any one h"»s hitherto looked
upon the Bible as an uninteresting book,
we advise them to buy and read Mr.
Moody's Bible Reading's." It will richly
reward the reader.

Temperance Discussion.—During the
past month, one Gospel Temperance meeting has been held at the Bethel, conducted
by President Jones, and another Temperance meeting at the Lyceum. Both were
admirably conducted, and well attended,
at the Lyceum addresses were made by 8.
Dole, Esq., Rev. W. Frear, and the Chairman, Judge McCully. In addition, there
wus a most excellent recitation by Mr.
Kinney. The singing was also appropriate
and good. The Committeesdeserve much'
commendation for the good style in which
their public meetings are conducted. We
cannot see how they could be improved.
The Temperance question is gradually
pushing itself to the front. It cannot bo
thrust aside. Men, women and children
must take their stand, and alas, that any
should be found to .countenance the
intemperate in their downward career.
The miserable and demoralizing drinking
habits of society cannot be defended;
then why should they not be immediately
abandoned ?
The Bible which sturdy John Brown
read in prison he presented to J. F. Blessing, of Charlestown, Va. In it he wrote:
There is no commentary in the world so
good in order to a right understanding of
this blessed book as an honest, childlike
and teachable spirit."

The Outlook.
We do not recall a time when the future
seemed more propitious for successful
labor among the foreign portion of the
community, in this part of the Master's
vineyard, than now. In the work laid out
by the various Committees of our Assoclatlottw»nd the interest apparent therein,
judging from the reports presented at the
last meeting, as also by the earnest effort
of the Temperance Committee in their
special field, it is very gratifying to find
willing laborers entering the field that at
times seems to be already ripe for the harvest.
There Is a prospect during the coming
summer of our having material assistance
in this direction from new helpers from
foreign fields, where God's blessing on the
labors of his servants have been specially
marked, and we trust that some droppings
may fall on us.
We would therefore encourage all,
whether members of this Association or
not, to sow beside all waters," for we
"can not tell which shall prosper, this or
that."
The question has come up simultaneously
in our various Societies and papers
as to what shall be done for our young
men, to furnish them with healthy, innocent entertainment, or recreation, after
business hours, and counteract, as far as
possible, the evils of saloons and other
places of temptation and ruin. And we
are glad to see the matter is having the
careful consideration of many minds. This
"
is one of the aims of the Y. M. C- A. in the
establishment of its Reading Kooni, and
providing occasional entertainment*. This
was the especial avowed fluid the Honolulu
Library anil Reading Room aimed to occupy, and this also is one of the features of
the Temperance movement lately organized. It is to be hoped that in the consideration of tile matter, the different
Societies will endeavor to fill the gap which
they see exists, and so add to, or modify,
present rules, as shall draw young men
from places of temptation.
This forms the subject of special Committee consideration, both with the Library and the Y. M. C. Associations, to report
thereon at their next meetings.
The sad accident that occurred on
the 20th ult., in the death of a young native by the fall of the recently erected
school-room of Bt. Louis College, while
preparing and decorating the same for a
Firemen's Social, for that evening, lias
claimed the attention of the public mind
ever since. The community feel they have
cause for thankfulness that it did not occur
six or ten houis later, to have thrown a
pall of sorrow oler the city that years
would not efface. Truly, we have been preserved as by a miracle, for at no other time
of the day, when more people were within,
or during its school session, could It have
fallen with less injury and death.
The Entertainment Committee of
the Temperance movement show commendable zeal in the variety and arrangement of the meetings, and from the very
full attendance at each, so fur, doubtless
We are

pleased to learn that steps have been taken
to secure Mr. Moody's co-worker in this
special branch of his labor, Mr. W. L.
Hallenbeck, for a couple of months this
summer, and hope our people will be prepared not only to appreciate, but co-operate
with any measures introduced to alleviate
the curse and evils of Intemperance.
Although this Temperance work is not a
part of the Y. M. C. A. directly, it nevertheless is the outgrowth of remarks made
at one of the monthly meetings, followed
by action taken thereon at one of the Sunday evening early meetings, and has the
full sympathy and active work of many

prison without a t-ha|iel would be considered a disgrace in other Christian coun-
tries, and it seems like a remarkable
omission in our prison discipline here. We
trust the attention of the proper authorities may be directed to this subject, and
that this deficiency may be remedied.
Prisoners have souls as well as others, and
we know of no valid reason why the fact
should not be recognized, and the proper
facilities afforded for every effort to do
them spiritual good.
The Musical and Literary entertainment
of the Y. M. C. A., last Thursday
evening, May 26th, at the Lyceum, tlrew
out a large gathering, that was no doubt
gratifying to the lecturer, Prof. F. Swift,
anil the talented pianist, Miss Carrie Castle, as also the quartette party, consisting
of Mrs. Handford, Miss, and Messrs. W. L.
and W. Jones, to all of which the audience gave wrapt attention and appreciative
expression. The result must be satisfactory
to the Association, in more tliun a pecuniary point of view, as from the able exposition of the literary power and ability of
Lord Macaulay. illustrated by recitations
from a few of his Essays, a new interest
cannot fail to be awakened in the minds of
many who were present.
Exchanges.—We would acknowledge,
since our last, the receipt of the following
Y. M. C. A. publications:—Association
News, of Philadelphia ; Weekly Bulletin,
of Chicago ; Association Record, of Montreal; Monthly Bulletin, of (Springfield, 111.;
Monthly Record, of the Harlem Branch,
New York, and Association Record, Germuntown, Phila.
In nearly all of the above, which give
evidence of able conduction and earnest
work, we find various methods of entertainment discussed, whether Social Receptions, Lectures, Gymnastic exercises, Concerts, etc., showing that the same efforts
are made there to hold young men from
places of temptation that we are consid-
ering here.
The Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. have inReceptions,

Music, by celebrated helpers ; aud from the
fact that Reception Committees are appointed for each evening of the week for
the month, we would judge It to be a continuous treat, and is ottered to the public

The last monthly meeting was
wholly a business one, the promised Lecture by Prof. Swift having beeu deferred
one week, owing to powerful attractions
elsewhere tbe same evening. The attendAt the meeting of the Y. M. C. A., ance, however, was above the average, and

"Our Supplement."—An old reader of
the Friend raid to the Editor a few days
since, '• Why did you put all all the good
reading Into your June No.? You will
have nothing for your July No." We hope
to convince our readers of his mistake, for
bo much good reading has accumulated
during the month of June that we feel
obliged to issue an eight page Supplement
for July. The affairs of Oahu College demand a full exposition. The Anniversary
Exercises, as now reported, are highly
creditable to teachers, pupils and Trustees.
We doubt not, when our readers have perused these eight pages, they will endorse
the opinion of the American Missionary,
Dr. Judson. When visiting Madison University he remarked:
"If I had a
thousand dollars, do you know what I
would do with it ?" The person asked,
supposed he would invest it in Foreign
Missions. "I would put it in such institutions as that," he said, pointing to the
college buildings.
Planting colleges, and
filling them with studious young men and
young women, is planting seed-corn for
the world."

peating a well known story in endeavoring
to sketch It for you. But there are some
points in tins world which seem to be
clothed with a beauty which never fades,
and this certainly is one of those ".Sacred
Mounts of history. You quicken your
steps to reach the heights above the modern city, for the noise and confusion below
in the narrow and crowded streets, is far
from agreeable. You are admitted at a
side door by the pleasant old keeper, who
has, I think, a most enviable position,
although perhaps, ruined temples and
headless statues have but little of poetic
and historic significance for him. Then
making your way through masses of ruined
beauty, you stand at length at the base of
the Imposing flight of marble steps which
long ago formed the grand entrance to the
Acropolis. Passing upwards and through
the great port* 1 you And yourself within
the luclosure proper of the Acropolis,
"
where are the ruins of the Parthenon, of
which I have spoken above; those of the
Ereotheum, with its beautiful Caryatides
and graceful columns, and of ninny other
buildings. The ground is thickly strewn
with the fragments of splendid columns,
with exquisite carvings of the finest capitals, and all imaginable forms of artistic
architectural beauty. In this ruined world
of sculptured marble, the fairest and purest
which quarries afford, there seems scarcely
room for the grasses und spring flowers,
which shyly try to find here a p-'int to
cling and live. There is a pathetic, sorrowful spirit dwelling on the height, wiiicii the

tions which all this wrecked beauty would
utter if words could pass its now mute, pule
lips. You loug to avenge its wrongs, to act
as a faithful knight in so good a cuuse, but
the foes you turn to meet are ghosts and
shades, and your sword cleaves the thin air
in vain. But our century is doing all it
can to testify its gratitude for the message
of the Beautiful, which it was the mission
of the Greeks, more than any other people,
to Impart to the human race. Every stone
bearing the imprint of the Grecian chisel
is a treasure, which men In our days handle
as a precious legacy. All over this old
classic world, whicli for so many centuries
has been partly buried away from human
sight, the skilled spade of the discoverer is
at work to see if haply some new form of
beauty, or some lost historic link may be
found. To very many this seems time and
money aud energy thrown away, but not
to those who stop and think. In our restless, heated century, in the new worlds we
are conquering, we need the old Greeks as
never before. And if this sounds like exaggeration and affectation, come and see
how they built and wrought, who believed
that " the Gods see everywhere." But this
is keeping us too long from our view,
which for a poet at least,, will be best had,
I think, from that beautiful little temple
of Victory, poised high up in air to the
right of the entrance to the Acropolis.
The eye rusts, perhaps, first of all, on the
rocky elevation, Mars' Hill, where St. I'aul
preached to the Athenians of the God, unknown to them, but revealed to him. Not
far away is the Pnyx, where the citizens
of ancient Athens gathered for their popular assemblies, and which has echoed with
the finest examples of Grecian eloquence.
And farther on, at the base of another hill,
is the so-called prison of Socrates, an excavation in the solid rock, where heis said
to have passed his last night. The height
above is surmounted with a ruined Roman
monument. Then, nearer the city, the eye
rests, delighted, upon the Temple of Theseus, the most perfectly preserved antique
edifice in Athens. Far, far away to the
mountains beyond, stretches the great
plain of Attica, largely covered with olive
groves Just where the famous Academy,

of the city were wont to gather, was situated, is now uncertain, tiiough a certain
site is still pointed out. There are many
roads winding off in various directions.
That one, losing itselfamid thedistant hi lis.
is that which leads to the site of theancient
Eleusis, so famous for its temples and religious rites. Far away we see the houses
of the port, Piraeus, and beyond the blue
waters of the gulf, with the Islands of
Aegina and Kalamis, while on the distant
horizon appear the snow-capped mountains
of the Peloponesus. Taking another vantage ground on the walls, beyond the
Parthenon, we have another panorama
spread out before us. Great plains, with
blue gleams of the sea on one side, and the
heights of Hymettus and Eykabettus on
the other. Between these lies the highway to the famous battle-field of Marathon.
Leaning over the parapet (What a wild fall
it would be down this dizzy height!) we
have beneath splendid ruins of antique
theatres, with their ascending rows of marble seats, and countless other interesting
monuments; while in the great plains to
the left rise the stately columns which are
the only reminders of the magnificent
Temple of Jupiter which once stood here.
From still another side of the Acropolis we
look down directly upon modern Athens,
where the great palace of the King, the
Cathredral, and a number of other public
buildings are especially conspicuous.
One comes every now and then in Ills
rambles in Athens'upon some interesting,
ancient monument, or ruined structure.
But his astonishment is here awakened,
not so mucli by the size and extent of the
ruins, as by the beauty of their execution,
and the graceful symmetry of their proportions. Most interesting discoveries are being made from time to time. Recently, an
ancient burying place lias been excavated,
kind of Via Sacra, with most beautiful
monuments. There are several museums
in Athens of great interest. Here, too,
may be seen the very remarkable articles
discovered by Dr. Schleimann at Mycenae.
This enthusiastic archaeologist and discoverer resides in Athens with his family. He
lias built him a very magnificent house,
probably the finest in the city. As I un-
•
derstand, he is intending shortly to begin
new excavations at some point in Asia
minor, but the locality has not as yet been
made public. It is to be hoped that his
efforts will be as splendidly rewarded as at
Troy and Mycenae. Modern Athens may
be divided into two portions; one still retaining much of the old character of the
town, as under Turkish rule, and the other
made up of fine, new buildings and spacious boulevards, showing the effect of
European influence. When one considers
what Athens was fifty years ago, it will be
acknowledged that wonderful changes and
improvements have been wrought here.
What the future of Greece will be, it is
now of course impossible to say. The
Greeks themselves are dreaming all munner
of great and glorious things, and hope once
more to play a great role among the nations
of the earth. Though a small people, they
are a marked power in the Levant,and will
probably become more and more so as education advances among them. They are
possessed, undoubtedly, of great natural
abilities, and in business and commerce
they are unsurpassed. Before this reaches
you 1 would hope that some peaceful solution might be given to that vexed question
of the boundary, which has been disturbing
Turkey and Greece for so long a time, and
keeping Congresses and Diplomatic Conferences so busily at work. I have found
both Turkey and Greece comparatively
quiet, although both are busily engaged
with their war preparations, in order to be
in readiness, if diplomatic measures fail.
The Turks are accomplished diplomats, and
make the way anything but easy for those
who have to work witli them. Their ideas
of truthfulness are exceedingly vague, and
they know to pertection how to wear that
fine, diplomatic smile which some German
poet has styled a flower blooming on the
brink of a precipice." From what I have
seen in Constantinople and elsewhere in
Turkey, of the hardy Turkisli soldiers, I
am afraid that they would use the little
Greek army roughly, although the latter
would fight with terrible earnestness. The
Greeks themselves say that if there is no
war, there will be necessity of a revolution,
as a sort of vent for the excited feeling
which has been for so long a time accumu-
"
lating.
I had much pleasure in visiting Rev.
Mr. Kalipothakes, a Greek gentleman
acting as Missionary here, under the American Presbyterian Board, who, with his
charming wife and family, makeshis home
in Alliens. Their cordial welcome and
hospitality adds much to the pleasure of
many Americans and others visiting the
city.
CONSTANTINOPLE AND THE HOSPHORUB.
Two days and two nights on board an
excellent Italian steamer, brought rm. to
Constantinople, the capital of the Turkish
Empire. Perhaps notify in all the world
excites such wonder and admiration in one
approaching it for the first time, as this.
It is extremely difficult to give in words
any adequate idea of the peculiar and remarkable charm of this Wonder of the
East." The splendid position of the city,
"
on rising heights, separated by blue, glit-
tering bodies of water, is admirably
adapted to display in the finest possible
manner the Oriental character of the architecture, the brilliancy of the coloring, and
the fantastic elements of this strange and
varied Turkish metropolis, built on the
foundations of the conquered capital of the
Eastern Iloman Empire. Constantinople
proper, is divided into three great portions,
Pera (the European quarter, largely) Scutari, and Stamboul, tlieancientßyzantium,
and the chief centre of the modern Turkish city. Between these quarters of the
city, built, as it wore, on promontories, lie
the channels of the Golden Horn, spanned
by bridges, and the beauiiful and majestic
Bosphnrus, which joins the Black Sea with
the Sea of Marmora. This latter body of
water is bordered for its entire length by a
succession of villages, villas, palaces,
mosques and castles, which are varied and
beautified by charming gardens and grove.-.
Your euthusiasm increases with every moment. New beauties rise magically before
you, as your dazzled eye becomes somewhat wonted to this fairy-land of wonders,
learns to trace the outlines of the great
domes, poised like gleaming bubbles in
mid-air, and follows the arrowy, upward
flight of the countless minarets which surround the mosques, and admires at leisure
the beauty of the palaces, with their wealth
of delicate ornament. A nearer view of
,tlie city is less charming, though even
more curious. The streets are narrow,
crowded, badly paved, and often exceedingly dirty. Great improvement has been
made, 1 am told, of late years, especially
since the time of the Crimean war. I presume there is no city in all the world
where one sees a more motley, varied life
than here, and certainly none where one
meets with so many nationalities. The
great bridge between Pera and Stamboul is
one of the busiest points of the city. You
see here green-turbaned Turks, descendants
of the prophets, or priests and monks of
various orders, merchants, and officers in
glittering uniform ; a carriage passes containing veiled Turkish ladies, attended by
servants; negroes and negresses in the
most gaudy attire jostle you in very unceremonious manner in passing; you find
yourself in the company of Greeks, of Al-
�banians, of Armenians, of Persians, of
Arabs, of nearly every nationality of Western Europe ; it is a babel, where nearly all
the languages of the East and Weet may
be heard. The streets of the city are
crowded during the day with busy goers
and comers, buyers and sellers. The Bazars of Stamboul are a great source of
attraction.
These are Immense covered

bought the rarest and choicest ef Oriental
wares. Here are Persian and Turkish carpets for sale; splendid silk and gold embroideries : costly perfumes; curious
carvings; inlaid armor; the most delicious
sweetmeats, and an infinite number of
other articles. The effect of these dimly
lighted passages, through whose half-gloom
long avenues of golden sunlight shoot now
and then, falling on scarlet, and blue, and
crimson, is most singular and striking. On
every side is a hurrying, busy crowd, as
strange as the place itself. The merchants
offer you treasures which might have
tempted the heroes of sonic Eastern tale.
You half imagine you are reading one
again.
The great Church of Santa Sophia, now
used by the Turks as a Mosque, is the principal architectural ornament of the city, as
it is one of the most beautiful buildings of
the world. The history of the building
would fill volumes. It was first begun fifThe present
teen hundred years ago.
edifice, however, dates from the time of
Justinian, its dome is probably the finest
and most beautifully'poised in existence.
It was regarded as one of the wonders of
the ancient world. The splendid ornaments of the church have long ago been
removed, but the beautiful proportions may
still be enjoyed. I chanced to visit it just
at the time of prayer. Some -two or three
hundred were present at the ceremony,
with their faces turned towards Mecca.
Before the beginning of this service, as is
always the custom, the men appointed to
this office, ascended the little gallery surrounding the minaret, and "called the
Faithful to prayer.
The Mosque of Suliman is a most magnificent example of Ottoman architecture.
Here, as in all the Mosques we visited, we
were obliged to remove our shoes before
entering. Among the strange sights of the
city which I saw were the religious ceremonies of those funatical monks, styled by
foreigners the "Howling" and the
"Whirling" Dervishes. I was privileged
to take a most interesting excursion up the
Bosphorus, as far as the Black Sea, and
another on the Golden Horn in one of the
swift, native caiques, to see the ancient
Roman walls of the city. I regret that
my limits now will not ]>ermit me to speak
in detail of the many interesting objects
which present themselves to the visitor.
But I hope this may perhaps be possible at
another time. I cannot, however, close
this hurried notice of Constantinople without just a word in reference to the many
kind friends who did so much to render my
stay agreeable. The Mission circle here is
large, and delightful, and the homes
which opened their hospitable doors to me
brought to mind others dear to me on the
other side of the world. At the Bible
House I found the Rey. Dr. Bliss, and his
son Rev. Mr. Bliss, an old college friend,
who are doing such a noble work here.
The work of publication of Bibles here in
a number of lauguages, is carried on on a
large scale. It was a privilege, likewise,
to meet the venerable Rev. Dr. Riggs, the
accomplished Oriental scholar and translator, Rev Dr. Wood, and others, who are
laboring faithfully in this field. In Scutari
I visited,witli greatest iiiterest.theflourishing school for young ladies, under the efficient charge of Mrs. Williams (the widow
of the late Rev. Mr. Williams, of Mardiu,

Turkey) assisted by her daughter and a
fine corps of lady teachers.
On the other side of the Bosphorus is the
noble Institution, so splendidly situated on
the heights, Robert College, founded by the
liberality of an American gentleman, and
under tiie charge of a body of American
Professors. 1 met them all, and a fine band
of men they are. I saw them in their
work and life, and had most pleasant intercourse with them. It is impossible to speak
in too enthusiastic terms of the grand usefulness of these two institutions, dedicated to
the enlightenment and upbuilding of the
youth of the East.
THE PLAIN OF TROY.
Much as I wanted to see Constantinople
I think I should scarcely have wandered so
far to the north had it not been for the attraction and fascination which a certain
small portion of the north-western corner of
Asia Minor had forme. I could not be so
near, and yet go away to face a future in
which the immortal songs of the blind old
Bard" would perhaps be one of the most practical features,and not see the spot where lie
placed his heroes. I must, if possible, go
to Troy. And this dream, cherished from
boyhood, has been most agreeably fulfilled.
The lions and difficulties which I fancied
might lie in the way were not to lie seen,
not even their shadows. Everything combined to aid me, and I am back again, well
"
and hearty, from my journey to Troy, with
a love for Homer a thousand-fold greater
than ever before (and it was never small),
and the hope that some day I may lie privileged to share the fruits of my classical
excursion with some bright-eyed, bravehearted boy or boys who may want to hear
about, Hector, Achilles, or any other of the
heroes who figured on the plain of Troy.
There was just one thing lacking to make
this trip quite perfect, and that was the
company of one man who has done more
than any one else in our Islands to awaken
in the breasts of his pupils a love for the
great Homeric Epic, and to lead then)
wisely to understand it. 1 hope, however,
it will not be unwelcome to him to know
that the thoughts of an old pupil turned
back lovingly and gratefully to him from
the shores of Asia Minor. I am surprised this journey is not oftener made by
scholars. The point of departure for this
Trojan excursion is best taken at the Dardanelles, at the Turkish town of CharnahKalessi, about one day distant from
Constantinople by steamer. I was made
glad at this latter town (a stranger in a
most emphatically strange land) by the
warmth and cordiality of the welcome
which I received from the German Consul
stationed there, to whom I brought a letter
of introduction from a mutual friend in the
Fatherland. I scarcely like to think that
every day is taking me farther and farther
away from this large-hearted man, who
does honor to the country lie represents,
and the Saxon stock to which he belongs.
I wish there might be more such leaven in
(the Turkish Empire. All arrangements
were made for my journey ; horses and
51
THE FRIEND, JULY,
and after passing an elevated ridge, at the
end of a few hours we began to descend
again into the great wide-spreading Trojan
plain. With the exception of one portion
near the sea, it is treeless. On the side
towards the Aegean the land rises again in
a succession of promontories, forming, as It
were, a natural wall towards the west. On
the south there are hills which rise gradually towards the more distant mountains.
The plain faces the Damanelles. Several
rivers may be seen winding through the
plain to.vnrds the sea; the principal of
these is the ancient Simois. In the afternoon of the first day's ride we reached
llissarlik, where Dr. Schleimann has made
such extremely interesting discoveries
within the last few years, and where he
believes was the ancient Troy, and goes
even so far as to think that he has disclosed
to the gaze of our century the Palace of
King Priam, himself. There lias long been
a strife between scholars and archaeologists
as to tile site of the Troy of the Homeric,
Poems. Some placing it here, as Schleimann, himself, at "issarlik, and others
believing it to have been on the other side
of the plain, nearer the mountains, at
Bournabaslii. The latter position seems to
me to be far more probable, as it answers
to all the requirements of the Homeric
Ilium far better than Hissarlik, which occupies an unimportant and insignificant
elevation near the sea. Still, the discoveries made here point to there having been
Important settlements here in very ancient
times. The articles here discovered have
been in England for some time, but have
now been presented to the museum of Berlin. One may see here the foundations of
antique buildings and remnants of an
ancient wall. From this point our way
proceeded through the plain. At one
point we were obliged to cross the swiftly
flowing Simois, on u raft. The waters
were high and rapid, and fording would
have been impossible. In the twilight we
readied a miserable little Turkish settlement, where Osman found a place for me for
the night. The people are wretchedly poor
aiiddes)titute,btit they did all they could for
us, and with all kindliness. Early the
next morning I ascended the hill in the
rear of the town, where the large majority
of explorers place the site of ancient Ilium.
Here is a tine position for the Acropolis of
a great city, and here massive remnants of
old walls have been unearthed. From the
summit of the hill, in the early, dewy
morning, I had a magnificent view just
beneath flowed the Simois, and not far
away I could catch ths gleam of the waters
of the Seamander, another Homeric river.
,
On the sloping hillside may have tain the
Trojan city, having its gates lower down,
where Boumabasiii now stands. Near
here are some flue springs of water,
which answer remarkably to those of which
Homer speaks,
•
Where erat the wives of Troy,
And daughters Mr, theirchoicest gsnuenta wuhed;
Id peaceful timea, ere came the aoua of Greece."
Far away to the sea, lying in the dim
distance, stretched the great plain, a fitting
battle-field for the Trojan and Grecian heroes. From Bournabashi, during the
second day, we visited the warm baths of
Ligia, and shortly after the ruins of the
famous ancient city of Alexandria. It was
interesting in the history of the Christian
Church, as being the point where a man of
Macedonia appeared in a dream to the
Apostle, beseeching him to come over to
tbeir aid. There are mighty masses of
ruined arches, temples, theatres, etc., scattered through a great forest of oak, which
gives us some idea of how magnificent the
city must have been. Nearer the shores
are the fragments of innumerable columns,
and portions of theancient piers rising above
the old harbor. Beyond lies the glorious
further theroadbecame more mountainous, blue Aegean sea, the same across which
guides engaged, und mountains levelled,
and early the next morning I was off, with
the arrival of rosy-fingered Aurora," for
Troy. I wish you could have seen my
guide—a very Turk, and Osman by name.
He was arrayed in the most picturesque
style, with a gorgeous turban, an embroidered jacket of blue, a scarlet girdle (where
he placed his sword, his pistols and knives)
loose-flowing trowsers buttoned at theknee.
I have only words of praise for him. I
trust that future travellers may be as wellfound in point of guides as I was. For the
first few miles the way lay along the seashore, where we met from time to time
stringsof solemnly moving camels, accompanied by their drivers, coming from the
interior to the coast. As we advanced

tumuli, or large mounds of earth, said to
be the burial places of Achilles.of Patroclus,
of Ajax ; and of passing along the shore
where the forces of the Greeks were drawn
up, near the murmuring ocean." The
view from this point back to Boumabashl, with snow-capped Mount Ida in the
distance, is remarkably fine. But Osman
looks at the sun and points to Its westward
descent, and thus suggests to me that I
must say good-bye to the Plain and its
memories. One more look back to the hills,
and the plain, and the shore ; to the deep,
blue sea, to Imbros, the dim, mlghy peaks
of Samothrace,und to the south,to Tenedos,
and then we turned our faces towards
Chanah-Kalessi, and the friendly welcome
which was awaiting us there.
ON THE "BLUE AEGEAN."
I have a literal right to this heading, as
this letter was begun on the gleaming
waves of this historic sea, starred with its
many islands. From the Dardanelles our
way brought us pastTenedos-and Mytilene,
down the coast of Asia Minor to the Gulf
of Smyrna, and to the city of the same
name, which we approached late in the
evening, over a glassy sea, on which the
stars were reflected as in a mirror. The
city, rising terrace-like on the heights,
shone through the night like a thicket radiant with fire-flies. On awakening next
morning I was delighted with my surroundings. Near at hand lay the beautiful
city of Smyrna, to right and left, flue
mountain peaks rising as a fitting background to the shore immediately encircling
the gulf. As the steamer of the line which
I had taken remains a number of hours at
Smyrna, I had an excellent opportunity
for seeing the city. After the narrow, unpleasant streets of Constantinople, the impression which the better-kept and more
European-like streets of Smyrna left upon
me, was most agreeable. On my arrival I
stepped into a large and pleasant room, situated near the wharves, to make some
enquiries in reference to some friends whom
I wished to find in the city. On looking
around I was not a little surprised to see on
the walls beautifuily illuminated and colored Scripture texts in various languages,
especially, however, English. And on asking into whit good y p acj I ha 1 fal.en, I
was toid that It was the Smyrna Rest ;"

Coffee and Readinr Room, in the very
midst of the crowded and busy quays.
May it long remain to speak a welcome to
strangers, seamen and others! The Bazaars
of Smyrna are similar to those "t Constantinople, but on a less extensive scale. A
pleasant ride is up onto the hill above the
city, where are fine old ruins, and from
which is obtained an extensive view. The
ancients alwsys spoke most enthusiastically
of Smyrna, calling It " the lovely, the
crown of lonia, the ornament of Asia."
Here Homer is said to have been born. His
river, the Meles, is pointed out. Here tradition states that Polycarp suffered martyrdom, and your guide points out his tomb,
in good faith. Smyrna was one of the
Seven Churches of Asia Minor. Not far
distant are the ruins of the ancient cities
of Pergamos,Sardis, Ephesus,and Thyatira.
Advancing southward our steamer passed

our colporteur, Mr. John Thome, who has
been at work in thisand the adjacent provinces in our service for three years, and
whose graphic letters you may have seen in
theBible Record. He is an accomplished
gentleman, and was, till recently, a merchant in Shanghai. For the love of the
work he has turned from all other possibilities, and in boats and by land, spends his
time in traversing the country selling
Scriptures. Would that there were more,
many more such ! And indeed I have several other foreigners in my employ in
China and Japan, who have been converted
in these lands, and who are doing good
service. The Gospel has not lost its power,
cither amongcivilized or uncivilized people.
These frequent trips of mine between
Japan and China, bring me in contact with
the great contrasts between the work in
the two lands. In Japan the people are
gentle, polite, and attractive; in China,
rough, uncouth, and utterly indifferent
about etiquette toward the "foreign devil."
The Japanese are devout, and reverent
towards their deities; the Chinese are
coarse and rude, even in their worship—
that is, the masses are. In Japan mind is
moving, there is progress ; in China there
is undoubted movement; the mass is so
great it is hard to estimate it. The people
of Japan have the reputation of being facile
and changeable, but we probably overestimate the element of mobility in their
character. The Celestial, rightly, has the
credit of being intensely conservative ; but
we nre in danger of failing to give him
creditfor the real spirit of enterprise that
is in him. There are about 35,000,000 in
Japan, and in China about ten times that
number.

(From Hawaiian Gazette, June 22d.)
Dr. Damon concluded the regular proceedings at the Festival of Oahu College,
by some remarks upon The Needs o( the
College." These 'were embodied in the
form of an address from Alma Mater to her
children. The venerable dame expressed
herself in the following words:
"
Laditt ; It affords me great tiebo man; of my old pupils, their
of this institution, where I
and
friends
parents,
have spent the entire period of my life. I wns
born here, as yon well know, in 1841, and I have
never left the premises. I have been on the most
familiar terms with all the teachers and pupils,
and have often conferred with the Trustees. The
history of the school, ere it grew into a college, is
aa well known to me as my own existence, indeed
it forms n part of my very existence. I have grown
with its growth and strengthened with its strength.
I have become so identified with the existence of
Oahu College," that I have become proud of its
standing and prosperity. 1 have taken the deepest
interest in all its 077 pupils, urn I have seen them
emerge from these hallowed precincts and go forth
to engage in the duties of life, fight its battles itnd
acquire its honors. 1 have deeply sympathized
with its teachers in all tboir trials and successes,
and in regard to the parents of my pupils, I have
tut been indifferent.
As the present is the fortieth anniversary, I
have been anticipating its approach with some degree of anxiety, because it has seemed impressed
upon my mind that the time hits fully come when
Oahu College should take a new departure. The
of niv ambition in behalf of the young in the
awniiau Islands has not been attained. In my

to do something quite handsome themselves !
Pardon me for the allusion. I do not find, upon
careful examination, that one dollar of our fund
was contributed by any one who has been a pupil
of Oahu College 1 I do not think I can be mistaken. Now, how can we, my dear old pupils, expect outsiders will come to our aid unless we help

At a late meeting of the Trustees, the pastor of

in Honolulu and on the Islands generally are
debtors to Punahou. The new catalogue justpublished will fully confirm what 1 now assert. I trust
all will carefully peruse this document. Morally
and intellectually I am doing for this Island community what l'unahon—the .new spring, neverfailing and bursting out of the lava fissure from
the side of Rocky Hill—is doing for the grounds
on which we are now gathered. 1 can make this
declaration in full confidence on this fortieth anniversary, although some may think I " use great
boldnesß of speech." Under these circumstances,
1 shall confidently make my appeal for funds to
the Fort-street congregation and the Islands generally.
Perhaps the Hawaiian Government may say that
she should bo excused from contributing additional aid to Oahu College, hut have I not given
her, in return for her aid, a corps of surveyors thut
would be an honor to older ana wealthier nations ?
I look abroad and see my pupils in various positions of trust and responsibility—some are rich
merchants, rich planters, and thriving men of
business; others are lawyers, doctors, ministers.
1 glance abroad over the ocean, and I see, in the
land of our fathers, many of my sons in most enviable positions. There is one of my pupils at the
head of Hampton Institute. Friends of education
in America can well afford to give us a $100,OUU for
sending to them such a man to light their battles
and educato their freedmen! 1 look abroad in
mission fields; I see some at home, and others
abroad. On this, our fortieth anniversary, 1 think
it is not unbecoming in me to feci a little elated,
if not honestly proud ! Among my pupils leaving
Honolulu a few mouths ago for Mills' Seminary,
two have graduated there, bearing away the
highest honors!
I am willing to remain at homo, and quietly
labor on, as 1 have done, uncomplainingly bull
should be gratified with a change of dress. 1 have
worn white sufficiently long. I know not what 1
have done to require an annual new suit of white
wash. 1 am no politician. I urn not guilty of
peculatiou. I have not squandered any vested
funds or a dollar of my patrimony.
In plain English and good old Saxon, I will tell
you frankly what Ido need. 1 am in immediate
need of $25,000, to erect and furnish a library
building, including a music hall, recitation rooms,
laboratory, and other accommodations. For the
aid of my pupils in the science of astronomy I
need a telescope, costing iflUtHl. 1 need more
books suited to my pupils in their studies. Tiny
are not sent here to study theology, or read Congressional documents.
When I have secured funds sufficient forpresent
needs and immediate necessities, 1 shall make a
strong appeal for enlarging my endow'incut. Ide

molded and shaped and wrought into men and
women, who are to make their impress upon the

Gathered here are the elements of noble growth
and development. Trustees and teacheis have
here an open field. The American Mission, Hawaiian Government, friends of education, and the
demands of the age, may reasonably expect that
something shall lie done on these hallowed grounds
whioh shall tell upon the future of tho Hawaiian
Mauds. If money is needed, it ouvht to lie forthcoming in a liberal manner. This declaration of
Paul contains a world of meaning: "He whioh
soweth sparingly, shall reap also sparingly and
he whioh soweth bountifully, shall reap also bountifully." Money invested in schools and colleges
returns an hundred fold. I hear u voioe from over
one, aye two oceans, from older colleges mid universities, " O, ye dwellers on the gem of the Pacific,
endow nobly and princely your seminaries of
learning." Never had the friends of education
and Christianity amors open field for action or a
more favorable opportunity to strike a blow for
learning and Christian civilization. Here meet
the Occident and the Orient; from our Islsnds, as
a center, radiate influences to all the surrounding
oentiuenta and all the islands of this great ocean.
Friends, and pupils, yon will pass away, but your
Alma Mattr hopes to live for centuries, blessing
the present and unborn generations on the Hawaiian Islands.

Report of the Examining Committee of
Oahu College.
The Committee appointed to attend the Annual
Examination at Punahou are pleased to report
their great satisfaction with what they saw and
heard. The perfect quiet, decorum, and promptness with which all the exercises were conducted
showed that the teachers had secured that order
which is the prime necessity in all successful
teaching. There has been an improvement in this
behalf over some years in the past. The assembly
of the school by the sound of the well-beaten
drum, and their marching in regular file into tho
school-room was a most pleasing feature of the
school
discipline.
There was no opportunity for the choral singing,
which gave such pleasure at the examinations last
year; but the exercises in music which relieved
the tedium of the protracted sittings indicated
the pupils' appreciation of the music rendered, as
well as Mrs. Huuford's careful and thorough instruction. The music exhibited with the exception
of two vocal duets, was wholly instrumental. 'Unit.
performed was -of a high character ami rendered
with expression and fooling. The Comniitlee
view with satisfaction the result obtained in this
department during tho past year, and regard tho
employment of so efficient and talented an instructor as an advantage to tho school and the
public. Touching the best music is a stop in the
right direction.
The work of the class in Drawing wns nf a high
order, and the Committee believe that tho prizes
awarded to D. Howard Hitchcock and Adcfio B.
Peterson were justly deserved ; the first for excellency of work, and the second for proficiency
made during the year. Tho drawings exhibited
show careful training and good taste. The Committee are unable to report what has been done in
Penmanship, as there was no opportunity to examine the work in that department, except so far
as the compositions presented showed the style of
handwriting.
The classes nndor Miss Koyce in the Preparatory
Department showed judicious and painstaking instruction. The class in Physiology particularly
appeared to have obtained intelligent ideas regarding the structure and uses of the different parts of
the human frame.
Miss Winter's classes in Mathematics and Astronomy showed clear comprehension of tho truths
learned and aocuracy of statement in recitation.
In the First Arithmetic cla-s there seemed to lie
some hesitation in relation to principles, but this.
limy have arisen perhaps from too close fidelity to
the rules of the hook. The Heading Class had
evidently been taught to seek tho precise idea prosenleil in the printed page, as well as to give it
proper expression in their articulations and intonations.
In the Classics, while those who began tho
study this year did not seem fully up to tiio
average standard in their recitations, the moro
advanced classes showed both neatness aiul
fluency in translation, and familiarity also with
grammatical principles. It is to be regretted,
perhaps, that no larger proportion of our young
people select a classical course. While pleased to
witness the evidence of studious attention to tho
classical languages of Greece and Home on tho
part of the graduatingclass, the Committee could
not but note with regret the fact that there was
not pi I'M', del 1 for examination any class in English
literature, though the study bad been pursued as
part of the prescribed course. The Committee are
aware that it is impossible to crowd within two
days recitations in all the studies pursued, hut
recommend that English literature be made
a prominent feature at every annual examination. The Committee unite with the
Trustees and the friends of the school in the feeling of regret that the institution is to lose the
services of a teacher, who has done his work ho
thoroughly and acceptably as has Mr. Adams.
The valuable parting gift whioh the scholars have
presented him is ouiy a fitting recognition of the
friendly interest and helpfulness he lias manifested for them outside of his special work of instruction in the class-room.
The President's classes in History and Mental
Philosophy showed in their method of recitation
how much those subjects had interested them, and
how evidently they had not only mastered these
themes, but been themselves influenced by the
characters and ideas they had studied. Too much
praise cannot be given to the instruction of the
post year, which has produced clearer and better
enunciation and pronunciation than for many
years has been heard at Punahou. There was
noticeable, however, an excessive particularity in
pronouncing the obscure vowel sounds in unaccented syllables. In every department the pupils
might have manifested mote enthusiasm; but
IHirhaps that is not tobe expected in a climate that
lacks the bracing qualities of cooler zones.
�Not the loast interesting part of the exercises to
many of the visitors was the noon lunch. The
young lady graduate, who can make as good cake
as that so bountifully provided by the matron of
tho Boarding Department, gives promise and
pledge of being a notable housekeeper, able to
tiring substantial comfort to the home over which
she may preside, as well as to grace it with the

While the attention of our Association
is again taken up witli the question of
what should we do to make its meetings
more interesting, so as to draw in young
and thus build up the Association
and increase its usefulness, it is gratifying
to meet with the same questions propounded by other Associations, as shown
in several articles in The Watchman, of
Chicago, of May Ist; not that we rejoice
iv the similar troubles of others, so to
speak, but that the able treatment of the
subject gives a clue to a satisfactory solution of the apparent difficulty, aud as this
number referred to has been freely mailed
to parties in Honolulu, and probably to
other parts of the Islands, we commend it
to their careful perusal.
We remember a rather slimiy attended
meeting of our Y. M. C. A. last year, that
gave a contemporary's reporter a subject
for an article in which the Association was
berated for lack of interest in its labors,
notwithstanding the various Committee
reports presented showed results of active
work. It is with our Association as with
many others—as shown in The Watchman
that its active members are engaged also
in active work in other branches of the
Master's field, whether it be Church, Mission, Temperance, Benevolent, or other
Society claims, besides which home duties
and ties have their special demands, and
therefore its monthly meetings fail to show
to the casual observer the extent of its
work. We do not make this statement to
shield any member who may be derelict in
duties he has voluntarily assumed, but in
men,
—
justice to all. To quote from the paper referred to :
"The great purposes of our associated
Christian work cannot be carried out by
mere meetings. A body joined together
for such purposes, can have ten-fold more
influence by what they do outside, rather
than in the meetings. Personal work is
the great need, and by this we take in all
the influence we can exert for Christ in our
daily contact with others. The question
should not stop with 'How faithfully do I
attend the meetings, but how do I live?
How am I exerting my influence among
young men in my daily contact with
them ?" Personal work and consecrntetl
living must largely sow the seed. The
meetings we hold liiay often be the place
of gathering the fruit. We cannot expect
to reap if we do not sow."

Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this:
To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world.
only hold aloof from aiding the Temperance movement, but cry down every effort
by saying, ''you can't effect reform by
Gospel meetings and Entertainments.'.'
Friend, lend a hand for that branch of the
work which in your wisdom you see it
specially needs. For our part we welcome
any and every effort to ameliorate the condition of those who are ruining both body
and soul through intemperance, besides
bringing misery and degradation on all
who are near and dear to them. The last
monthly Entertainment at the Lyceum
gathered together a very full house, and its
interesting exercises cannot but be fraught
with beneficial result*, especially from the
remarks of

there was no regular monthly meeting of
the Y. M. C. A.the past month, but the
Thursday evening following a pay Entertainment for the benefit of the Association
was given at the Lyceum by Prof. Swift,
assisted by Messrs. J. A. Magoon and J. A.
Kennedy, consisting of Recitations ami
Readings, which drew out a very good attendance. From opinions expressed thereon
and pust experience, it will be well for the
Entertainment Committee to bear in mind
that a dry Literary programme, without
any music sandwiched between, is a difficult one to arrange in larger communities
with recognized Elocutionists, and we hope
our next efforts may not be complained of
in this respect, especially vvhen there is so
much musical talent in our community.
Our Thanks are due and hereby tendered
to H. W. Severance, Hawaiian Consul, San Francisco, for his consideration in
forwarding various pamphlets relating to

Last Sabbath evening, according to
announcement, Rev. W. Frear delivered
his farewell sermon to his congregation,
and Fort St. Church was well filled to hear
the parting address, which was full of
earnest counsel and strong appeals for continued growth in Christian grace and virtues, and the interesting reminiscences of
the ties of sympathy and love between
pastor and people, brought deep emotions
to many hearts; while the changes that
bad been experienced during his ten and
a-half years ministry in the place, both
politically, commercially, and socially,
were of interest to all.
OurAssociation loses in Mr. Frear one of
its most earnest workers and wisest counsellors, but with those of his most Immediate congregation we can wish him every
success in his removal to a new field of
labor—which he is compelled to seek on
account of his health—and trust that what
is our loss may be fieir gain.

Fortieth Anniversary of Oahu College.
At the invitation of the Trustees a large
company assembled at Punahou to join in
a festive celebration of the fortieth Anniversary of tho College. Ample table space
and a bounteous provision of good things
had been made for many more than were
present, and there was a notable preponderance of the fair sex. To those of the
sterner sex who ought to have been there,
and were not, it may be said that, in every
sense, the loss wus theirs. The luncheon
provided by the lady friends of the school
was perfection of its kind, and profuse both
in its abundance and its variety ; the Band
played some charming airs ; all the surroundings of blight faces, sunshine, green
sward, and shade-bestowing trees were
pleasant to look upon; and the interesting
detail of reminiscence, the earnest eloquence, the bright and genial humor, the
happy knack of saying the right tiling and
no more, which characterized the speechmaking of the occasion, rendered that part
of the day's programme thoroughly enjoy-
able.
About half-past two Mr. 8. B. Dole requested those assembled to " come to order"
by securing seats at the tables, intimating
that the table on the Ewa side of the tent
had been supplied with poi for the benefit
of the "poetasters." The Rev. Dr. Damon
took the chair, ami the Rev. \V. Frear invoked a blessing o 1 the assemblage, and on
the Col leg,, praying that the occasion
might,.by Divine blessing, lie for it a starting point of new and greater things. Then
followed a clatter of knives and forks and
a clatter of tongues, with what a German
might call a 'tone-background" of lively
airs from the Band. The Rev. Chairman,
in wise appreciation of the length of the
programme of speeches that had been
arranged, did not wait till the business
of luncheon was complete before he called
upon the Rev. rt. E. Bishop for his adThe
dress, the subject of which was
American Mission, and its couuectiou with
this Institution," at the same time informing his audience that the "only reason"
why Mr. Bishop had not been a graduate
of Punahou was the fact that he had been
sent to college in America two years before
tbe foundations of Oahu Collegs were laid.
Mr. Bishop described the educational institutions that existed in the Islands before
Punahou ; referred to the origin of the
school as one for the missionaries' own
children and to the handsome gift of
land with which the Rev. Mr. Bing-

school, and the Islands had lost much in
permitting so many who had received their
training at this institution to go away and
make themselves names, and do good work,
in other lands. In concluding, lie told the
chairman that he knew he was going to tell
the meeting that the Alumni of Punahou
had never given a dollar to its funds, and
support of the school, assuring them that he desired
to forestall him by saying that
investments in such institutions were both they had never been asked. Before he sat

Harvard University is the hot-bed of infidelity and

at least try to practice in their lives the principle

hypocrites. Nor does Harvard train uiere theorists
or dilettanti. That old college is proud of the
record of her sons during the Great Rebellion.
Even savage old Carlylo, who could hnrdly think
well of any one, and who once expressed great
contempt for America is snid to have changed his
views after reading the memorial Biographies of
the Harvard men who fell in the war. and bequeathed some of his books to the Library ot that
University. It is true of all schools that tiiey bear
the stamp and impress of their heads. Consider
the influence on the educated classes in tho United
States of such men as Presidents Walker of Cambridge, Woolsey of Vale, Wavland of Brown, Hopkins of Williams' and Horace Mann of Antioch ;
of Master Gardener of thy Boston Latin School,
Sam Taylor of Phillips' Academy and Hoyt of
Exeter. There are those here who could tell
their own experience of Harrow. Rugby and
Eton; the speaker thought that Dr. Arnold's
influence is felt to-day in the Imperial Councils cf
Great Britain; certainly it is widely felt in the
United States.
The moral of this is that Oahu College should
have an endowment of at least SiIOO.UUO, from the
income of which three chairs say of English
literature, mathematics and the classics could bo

country will be safer and happier than it is now.

" The longer I live, the more I see of the workings of human nature," snid one of England's
greatest men, "the stronger is my conviction that
the differences among men in character and success, humanly speaking, are owing mainly to their
different purposes m life." In Uiat "training of
youth in the various branches of a Christian education," which is the object of this insti ution, we
seek first of all to lesd every mind to make God
and His holy will the supreme choice of the soul.
Without this high purpose, men are machines or
tools, not children of immortality and heirs of
heaven. To have no individual purpose to accomplish, to recognize HO motive of action but the
whim of the moment, is to write one's self a cipher,
with no significant value in the great sum total we
call the world, no value whatever except from tho
mere fact of position. The great question that
the world now asks of every one who claims that
tho world owes him a living, is " What work can
you do !*" When He whom we adore as the World's
Kedeemer. the Master and Lord of All, came into
the world. His people asked lliui. "What sign

the Lord Jesus Christ, ns not only our Divine Redeemer from Sin, but our Teacher and Standard
in all holy living. How many of the pupils at
Punahou have here ri.st been roused to think
seriously of their work in life. How many have
here made their choice of a life of faith, living
thenceforth for the Unseen and the Eternal, not
the present and the sensual. Could these walls
speak, they would testify of many earnest questionings, not of facts in science or history, but in
regard to personal duty and Christ's claims. It
has been the privilege of the teachers here, not
only to be guides, philosophers and friends to
youthful pilgrims in the fields of literature, but to
point many a young inquirer to Him who is the
Way, the Truth and the Life for every child of
God. Read over the names of those who in these
halls of learning have been taught the rudiments
of Christian science, and notice how many of the
prominent workers in this community, in every
department of active industry, have once been
connected with this school at Punahou. They are
the lawyers, the clergymen, the phvsioians, the
merchants, the scientific experts, the thriving mechanics, tho skilful ship-masters, the sugar planters and sugar factors in this city and all the
Islands. They are busy in Christian work, in its
widest sense, all work done with referenoe to the
advancement of God's graoious purpose of a redeemed and regenerate humanity. There ought
to be special effort to furnish from the pupils of
Punahou whatever workers may be needed m any

department. In the limited idea of Christian
work, as direct effort for the salvation of men from
spiritual death and their advancement in spiritual
life, life in Christ, life with Christ, there has not
been realized doubtless all that was once anticipated. We cannot tell of great achievements in
carrying farther and raising higher the standard
of the cross among these Hawaitans or other Polynesian races. But so too in other departments
Punahou has not reaohed the high ideal which the
founders of Oahu College hoped to see realized.
Yet also must it be said never before has the institution had such golden opportunity as at the
present time. Never before has there been such
financial prosperity as would warrant the expectation and the possibility of the expenditure of such
an amount of money as is imperatively demanded,
if this institution is to realize in fact what in name
it promises to provide for the educational needs of
this community. Let those whom God made the
stewards of His earthly bounty give liberally to
furnish the needed appliances and conveniences
for a thorough education. Let those who, bearing
Christ's name, are representatives of Mis spirit
and leaders in His work, see to it that all their
plans and purposes for Christian work are in harmony with Christ's purposes of mercy and love.
No small value can be assigned to this institution
iv the introduction to these islands of a Christian
civilization with its high aims and approved
methods. We may not see the work, so well begun, carried out to' its full completion. Imperfection pertains to all that is human. Only He who
on the cross of Calvary ended His duty and His
life together, could say, "It is finished. I have
finished the work that Thou gave3t me to do."
But it was for the joy set liefore Him—the joy
of a gracious purpose successfully accomplished
that "He endured the cross": His life of self-denial
and self-sacrifice; His death of shame and agony.
Such a gathering as this, such a time of joy as
this, in witnessing the purpose that founded this
school realized so far as we see it to-day, is a foretaste of that eternal joy when Christian work
shall have its .full fruition in the kingdom of
heaven. Then to all connected with this school,
who have contributed to its success or been profited
by its privileges, may there come from the Master
that approval which is the highest incentive and
the crowning joy of all Christian work, " Well
done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into
the joy of thy Lord."

Mr. C. R.
Bishop's
Addkkss.
In order to fully appreciate the present condition of education in this country, it would be
necessary toreview what has been done, and the
experiences of the past, and to make comparisons,
but we have no time for such a work now. The
reports made to the Legislature from time to time
are accessible to all, 1 must confine my remarks
t )-d.iy to matters of the present.
The Act of January ltlili, UNat, and the amendments thereof, comprise the school laws of this
kiugdom ; in which, it is stated, that the object of
the common schools supported by Government
is to instruct the children of the nation in good
morals and in the rudiments of reading, writing,
geography, arithmetic, and of other kindred
To constitute a legal
elementary branches.
school, it is necessary that it shall be kept not less
tuan 180 days iv eacn year. All children between
toe ages of t> and 16 are to attend some legal
school; and parents and guardians are liable to
penalties if they neglect to send their children or
wards to such a scuool. Those less than li aud
over 15 years ot age are not excluded from the
Government schools. For the support of schools,
all males from 20 to HO years of age are liable to
an annual tax of $2. The interest on the fund
derived from sales of lands and from rents of
lands leased are used for the support of select
schools, and for building and repairing schoolhouses; and last but not least, ou the appropriations of public funds by the Legislature for the
support of, or aid to Government schools, aid to
family schools for Hawaiian girls, and for scholarships in Colleges. These several t ixos, incomes
aud appropriation are by law placed under the
care of the Board of Education, and are expended
according to law. In 1878 the school tax collected
amounted to 1f31,038. In 18711 it was $3t>,434, and
the total expenditure for educational purposes in
that year was $84,000.
For 1881 the tax will probably amount to
§43,000, and the whole expenditure to more than
$100,000, which will consume all of the funds
available for such purposes.
The amount expended for building and repairing sohool-hjuscs in the two years ending March
31st, 1880, was more than $24,000; and for the
year ending March 31st, 1881, something over
$10,000. making over if;W,OOO for the three years.
And during the last year the special grants to
family schools for native girls (in addition to the
capitation grants) amounted to $8,400.
JIL¥,
1881.-
The average annual cost of English text books
is about $2,1150, and these aud the other books
used in the schools are furnished at cost.
There are but six districts in which the schools
have, during the year 1880, been supported exclusively by the tax paid in the respective districts,
'to wit; Kau, Makawao. Ewa and Waianae. Koolaupoko, Lihue and Hanalei,) anil iv some of these
the opening of English schools will soon make the
expenses to exceed the taxes.
Tho terms of the Government schools cover 42
weeks of each year, 6 days of 5 hours each, including recesses in each week.
Tuition in the Government schools iv which
only the Hawaiian language is used is free, and m
those in which the teaching is in the English the
charge is !j<s per annum, except in the Fort Street
School, where it is 60 cents |>er week.
Referring again to the school tax. I would here
remark that if the tax for this year should be
collected from all who are liable to pay the
Chinese will pay more than all other nationalities
combined. All of the Government sclnxils are
open to the Chinese tho same as they are to the
natives and to the children of other nationalities
and the Government pays a teacher in one
English Day-school, and aids an evening school
for them. The last Census shows 8,1>58 as the
number of children between the ages of (i and 15.
On the Ist of January, 1880, there were 210
schools of all classes, with an attendance of 7.104
scholars. Of these 57 per cent, were in the common schools, 18 per cent, in the select schools, and
25 per cent, in the independent schools; 57 per
cent, were taught in the Hawaiian, and 43 per
cent, in the English language. In nationality
they stood about as follows: 7SI per cent. Hawaiians, 13 per cent. Half-castes and 8 per cent, ot all
other nationalities.
Since the above date ten new schools have been
opened by the Government, in which the teaching
is in the English language, with an attendance of
about 515; and provision has been made for one
more such school; so that at the present time
those taught mainly in the English, and those
taught exclusively in the Hawaiian are about
equal in number.
The total number of common schools taught iv
Hawaiian March 31st of this year was 145, in some
of which, the attendance is less than 10, and iv
guile a number under 15. Since that date several
of these schools have been closed by the substitution of English schools for them. And although
the number of these common schools lias been
greatly reduced latterly, the whole expense for
ttiat class has not been lessened, because higher
wages are now paid to teachers, and in most eases
without any corresponding improvement iv the
quality of tile service.

I am afraid that it appears rather presumptuous
for the Committee of arrangements to nominate
one of their own number as a speaker on this occasion it seems so to me, and if any explanation
is required I refer you to my associates, believing
that the matter demands an investigation. I am
glad that the second speaker, Mr. Forbes reported
for himself as one of the alumni, for his school
days at Punahou were mostly before my time;
my memories of bim being of the vaguest character except that he was a very good fellow. Those
whom yon call the alumni of Oahu College, I remember as boys and girls playing on these
grounds and going to school in the old schoolroom in the middle wing of these buildings. I
have reason to remember some of them well, for

such as may fit every citizen to perform his duty to

by generous and large-souled private giving, such
as we hope to see resulting presently in the liberal endowment of Oahu College.
I count it a prouder boast for this little Kingdom of Ha wan than can be made on behalf of any
other on earth, that it has a lower percentage of
illiteracy than any other kingdom—that it has a
smaller percentage of illiteracy than any State in
the American Union, except one. Let us each do
our small mite toward giving it the same eminence
in a more advanced and higher department of education, by putting Oahu College on a war footing

Applause for Master.Frear.
Afterwards, Miss Emma M. Whitney entertained the audience with a treatise on
Palimpsests"—ancient parchments from
which writing had been partially erased by
chemicals, to furnish a clean sheet for a
subsequent scripture. The young lady then
presented some interestling illustrations, of
what might be termed the geological palimpsest, and also thatof human experience.
Applause and a bouquet greeted the fair
graduate at the close.
At theclose of this essay, Mrs. Hanford
sang an aria from Handel's Creation. She
sang witli much sweetness, with a clear,
full articulation, and with a well sustained
tone throughout; it was a highly enjoyable treat; and deserved the prolonged applause it called forth.
Afterwards Miss. Helen S. Chamberlain
entertained the company with her views
about Growing Old." The fair philosothrought that Shakespeare should

of the periods of man's life; the age of sauce
of boys; which does not speak well for the
young gentlemen of Punahou. And commenting upon old maids, said that the character, instead of being usually slender,
sharp featured, sharp tempered, and an
illnatured gossip; was very often stout,
round featured; possibly a little wrinkled,
and not ashamed to acknowledge a fiftieth
birthday; yet a kindly, unencumbered ministering angel in a wide cercle of matron
and maidenrelatives and friends. We judge
that this is a portrait of a nice home friend.
The fair lecturer quoted; " the hoary head

advancement and endowment of the Alma
Mater, it was clearly understood, that she
meant that the old fellows who had any
spare cash, would be in the way of righteousness, if they planked up for Punahou.
This pleasant and well read essay, was
greeted with warm applause and a bouquet.

The next event of the evening was the
presentation by President Jones of diploma*

the evening being far advanced, nearly 10

was immediately a hushed attention, and,
we believe, speaking from our own experience, that every one soon lost their sense
of being a little tired, though so well entertained, in listening to this lady's pleasant
spoken, thoughtful, witty little poem. Its
sprightly and apposite enumeration of personalities claimed the closest attention of
every listener; and the poem is indeed an

and more Natural Science, more Astrono'niy, more
Chemistry, more modern languages; thla is the
drift things that arc at tho present dav taking in

the wants of the day ; to do this we bnvo to give
more attention to Natural Science. We have to
enlarge our course, we must leach more geology,
more geometry, more modern languages. Many
pupils will in futon liniHh lure, we must take
care that they do not suffer by staying; as good
work bus been done here as in the' Eastern col
leges. Some change must be allowed in our
course, of education. If we look to the East we
find more students in the technical schools than
we find in the colleges we must take warning by
this ; this shows iv which direction the current of
education is now setting. I hope, however,
those changes will not be too great; we must guard
against stepping too far in the new direction. In
the Kastern colleges it is tho custom to give eaoh
man a speciality, here one man has to do tho work
of three or four men in such colleges as Vale this
is a disadvantage. A further disadvantage that
we are at is the lack of apparatus. We have to
teach Chemistry without a laboratory, Astronomy
without a telescope, Natural History only from
hooks. More men and more machinery is what we
want. We are also trying to teach music of a high
character, not the flimsy music of the present day
hut the olasaic works of Beethoven, Haydeu, Mozart aud other great Blasters. We are training in
vocal music aa well, training the vocal organs, bo
that no one after ten minutes of singing or speaking shall .nit down nnd say "My voice is tired,"
"My throat is sore." But training to be snoccesful must not only lie directed to tbe mind, it must
develop tbe soul and the character : training however magnificent which does uot do this, we consider fails in its proper object. We have endeavored therefore to show that vice is shameful, sin is
low; we have endeavored to train the conscience,
to obey not through fear of rules but because to
obey is right, to show courtesy to one another, to
learn to deapiee sly conduct. There has been
reproof during the year, and sharp reproof but the
words have been directed at the sin not the sinner.
Doing our work in this way we feel confidence in
it, we feel that our present work is not, cannot be
a failure,

1 trust, dear Frip.no, that the letter which
I posted to you from Beyrout, several weeks
since, has reached its destination in safety.
I never fail to wonder at and admire the
marvelous machinery of modern postal arrangements, which so surely and skilfully
facilitate the passage of a letter from one
end of the world to another. And yet,
sometimes, as I send my letters from these
far Eastern shores to those far away in the
West, I need to exercise considerable faith
in this same machinery, and launch my
letters as waifs on some unknown sea,
hoping they will come safe to land. It may
strike you as odd that the Oriental mind has
not as yet scarcely grasped the fact of the
existence of a group of Islands in the Pacific, called the Hawaiian, where, from
time to time, letters are to be sent. 1 begin

BEYROUT.
Not all the snows still lingering on the
cool heights of the Lebanons were able to
charm away the heat of the wind blowing
up over Bey rout from the hot heart of
Africa, on the day of my visit there, and
yet, notwithstanding this, the day will
always remain among the brightest and
pleasantest in my memories of Eastern
travel. Beyrout is a flourishing, thriving
centre, the most important city of Syria,
finely situated on a noble bay. In tne background rise the splendid heights of the
Lebanon range. The city has very much
of a European character, though in the old
quarters the coloring is- still strongly Oriental. From Beyrout leads off a magnificent road, constructed by the French, to the
ancient and beautiful city of Damascus, the
earthly paradise of the Mohammedans, the
Queen of the Desert. Not far away are
the stately ruins of Baalbec, which nil all
those who are permitted to visit them with
wonder and admiration. The hours which
I passed in Beyrout were mainly derated
to the noble Protestant Syrian College.

THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
which crowns one of the heights above the
city, and commands an inspiring view of
the blue bay and the snowy range beyond.
This institution, which is a gift of American philanthropy to the East, is in a most
prosperous and flourishing condition, and
with Robert College, it Constantinople, is
bringing new life to a large number of
young men of the Orient. The spacious
and appropriate buildings, the collections
and museums,and above all,the able corps of
Professors snd instructors, are an honor to
that country which, though but on the
threshold of its own great history, is already
one of the first civilizing and most beneficent powers in the world. I had much
pleasure in visiting the President of the
College, Rev. Dr. Bliss, and his very agreeable family, whose kindnnss made my day's
visit so pleasant. Dr. E. Bliss and wife,
from Constantinople, were visiting them.
Young Mr Bliss, just graduated from Amherst College, took me to call upon Dr.
Jessup snd the ladies of the Presbyterian
Board Mission school, and others. In
Beyrout are a. host of educational institutions for both sexes, carried on by different
nationalities and religious denominations.
From Beyrout to Jafla, by steamer, is a
journey of about twelve hours. The coast
thus skirted is one of great interest, historically, and I regretted keenly that the night
with its dusky shadows veiled from our
view the sites of the ancient Phoenician
cities of Tyre and Sidon, the " green
slopes" of Mount Carmel. and many other
interesting points. The journey by land
from Beyrout to Jerusalem is one of the
very greatest interest, leading the traveller
to the sea of Galilee, and to many spots
connected with Our Lord's life and ministry,
and should certainly be taken by all those
whose time will permit. My visit was confined to Jerusalem and its environs as my
time was limited, bnt how full of rich and
varied experiences were the few days I was
permitted to spend in the Holy Land ! We
landed at Jafla (the ancient Joppa) in the
early freshness of a rarely beautiful morning. Fortunately the sea was very smooth,
and no heavy wind was blowing for
which we were all extremely grateful, as
at times the landing here is exceedingly
difficult and dangerous. Once on shore the
traveller finds himself in a busy babel of

quaint, ancient arches, and through long
covered passage-ways, in whose dim light
you grope your way as in a dream. Outside, beyond in the fields and gardens, are
thousands of lemon and orange trees. The
air is filled with a delicious perfume. From
the blue sky fall floods of golden sunshine.
There are many people who profess to be

�THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
presses annually into the city. The majority of the streets are badly paved, winding
and narrow, covered with huge stone
arches, where a dim twilight reigns perpetually. There is here an Eastern Bazaar,
which is interesting to visitors from the
West. The town is filled with vendors of
antiques, countless articles manufactured from the beautifully grained wood of
the olive tree, pressed flowers, rosaries, and
similar objects.
You seek some height as soon as possible,
above this noise and confusion. J learned
to love, especially, during the few days of
my Jerusalem visit, the splendid view from
the flat roof of my hotel, and especially
towards sunset. The first glance is off
towards the far East, where the beautiful
mountains of Moab li». If nearly seen
they would be found, very likely, bare and
dreary and useless enough. But in the
distance, and seen througn this wonderful
Eastern air, they are indescribably beautiful.
I was scarcely willing to let them pass for
even a short time out of my sight, and fortunately they are to be seen from nearly
every important point. In the sunlight of
the morning and noon they clothe themselves with all manner of tints in blue, from
deep, cool, dusky shades to tones which
seemed just ready to pass into silvery whiteness, and yet are still blue. But in the
evening they are lighted •up in a wondrous
way ; not as if from the great sun sinking
in the opposite west, but as though lights of
crimson flame were lit within walls of
crystal, illuminating them with a magically
softened radiance. I do not remember ever
to have seen more exquisite effects of sunlight. You would learn to love those
mountains of Moub, and to turn to them
morning, and noon, and evening as I did,
watching till the last ray of that inner fire
had died out. and the shadow of the night
had come in between you and them. Passing from this farther view, the eye falls
lovingly on the " Mount of Olives," so dear
to every Christian heart. On its summit
rise the towers and spires of churches and
convents, and all along its slopes are scattered silvery-grey olive trees. Then, comes
a valley, rising quickly again on the side
nearer us, is the height of Mount Moriah.
This is one of the most impressive points
in all Jerusalem, and from the point where
we are standing, forms a splendid centre to
the picture. Here, now, rises the graceful
and beautiful Mosque of Omar, on the
Dome of the Rock, and in the rear of this
the Mosque of Aksa, once a Christian
church. Groups of beautiful trees are seen
in the great inclosure, and graceful minarets
rise into the tinted air of the evening. You
can, perhaps, trace through tfie gathering
twilight lines of beautiful arches and
groups of the Faithful, whose faces are
turned towards Mecca, and who are offering
their evening prayer. This now you see
with your " bodily eye," but in these moments picture after picture passes before the
mental vision. You see an old man, binding here that which was nearest and dearest
to him, the son of his old age, upon a rough
altar in sacrifice. You watch the gleam of
the uplifted knife, and far down the ages
come the words of the Angel, which fell
like balm on that sorely tried yet obedient
relics,
1881.
father's heart: " Abraham, Abraham, lay
not thine band upon the lad; neither do
thou anything unto him, for now I know
that thou fearest God, seeing tbou hast not
withheld thy son, thine ouly son, from me."
You see the altar, too, from which the
sacrificial flame arises, and before which
the kingly supplicant, David, stands. And
you would fain believe you caught the
grand outline of that wonderful Temple
which the great Solomon here reared, in
whose sacred recesses tbe infinite Glory of
the Divine Majesty was manifested.
Passing from here over a strangely picturesque gronping of Easiern houses, of
minarets and domes, with here and there a
lofty tuft of palm branches, we see the
great dome of the Church of the Holy
Sepulchre, covering likewise the possible
site of Calvary. At our feet, well-nigh lost
in tbe darkness of the evening, is the great
Pool of Hezekiah, and to our right rises
the lofty citadel of the city, the great
stones of whose foundations were probably
laid in the prouder days of Jerusalem's
history. The stars have begun to gleam
over Bethlehem, lying not far away among
the hills, long before we are willing to leave
our post of observation.
At Easter-time there are almost continuously services in the churches of the city. But,
naturally, the chief centre of interest is the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It would be
impossible, of course, here, to go into the
discussion of the authenticity of the various
points shown here in connection with the
death and burial of our Lord. All that I
would say is that here is a spot which for
long centuries in the history of the Christian Church has been regarded with unlimited reverence by all Christian sects, and
which, though often, it must be confessed, the scene of fanatical tumult and
disturbance, and even bloodshed, is, on the
other hand, a shrine where thousands and
tens of thousands of loving and devoted
Christian hearts have been touched and
melted at the thought of that awful death
and glorious Resurrection, which are the
grand foundation of the creed of Christendom. The Latin and Greek Easter fell one
week apart this year, so that there was less
of that painful rivalry apparent between
these sects than is sometimes the case.
Some of the services were dignified and
impressive, but from others one was glad lo
steal away to tbe peaceful suggestions of
other places, which we can feel sure were
connected with our Savior's life. I have
reached a point in my brief sketch of the
city upon which 1 would fain linger, but
which my extremely limited time obliges
me merely to hurriedly touch upon. I mean
that enjoyment which the visitor to Jerusalem has in tbe re-creating of Bible history
and narrative, in connection with those exterior reminders which are still left here,
and in reference to which there is no manner of doubt. I learned to drop all thought
of tradition, of priestly and scholarly statement, of convents and shrines, and dedicatory churches, and drew a world of
inspiration from the " atmosphere," as it
were, of a great past, which seemed here
to envelope me, from the touch of those
memories which seemed a part of the valleys, of the fields, and the hills which were
67
about me. There is one walk which you
repeat as often as your time will allow ; and
this is down a steep path passing out of
St. Stephen's Gate into tbe valley below,
and over the now dry bed of the Kidron to
the '• Garden of Gethsemane," and the
Mount of Olives beyond. It is not so much
the little inclosure behind the great walls,
where a few ancient olive trees now stand,
and the blossoming garden which tbe kind
old Franciscan Monk so carefully tends,
though this spot is peculiarly interesting.
But it is more the whple sloping bank of the
Kidron, covered with olive trees which
offer a cool and welcome shade. For we
know that here once stood the garden to
which our Lord loved to come with His
disciples, and we feel that it is all holy
ground," because of that sacred and solemn
hour of agony, tbe struggle and victory
which were, with the crucifixion, the culminating points in the wondrous history of our
Divine Master. It was our privilege to
ascend the Mount of olives, passing the
garden of Gethsemane, on the night when
the Christian church recalls especially this
scene, tbe night preceeding " Good Friday."
Jerusalem and its adjacent hills were flooded
with glorious moonlight, while deep shadows
filled the valleys between. It was a
strangely impressive view. Further on,
winding around the brow of the hill, you
come to the ancient site of Bethany, whose
peaceful quiet, in the home of Martha and
Mary, was so peculiarly dear to Jesus, after
the noise and turmoil of the city. By this
same way, which we are now taking, He
probably advanced towards Jerusalem, amid
the triumphant " Hosannahs of the people.
We would fain beleive that it was from one
of these ancient rock-hewn tombs near tbe
town, that He called forth the dead Lazarus
to a new life. There are in like manner
many other places to be visited, which give
a vividness and reality to the Scriptural
account, which is of the greatest interest
and value. During our. stay in Jerusalem
we went one afternoon to see the Jews at
their " Wailing Place." To see their
tears, to hear their prayers and lamentations
for the restoration of the glory of Israel,
and to watch them kiss the ancient stones
in the foundations of the walls of the
Temple inclosure, is indescribably touching.

"
EXCURSIONS.
Three days of the time of my all too
brief Palestine visit were devoted to a most
interesting tour to the ancient site of
Jericho, the Jordan, and tbe Dead Sea, returning by the famous old Greek convent
of Ma Saba. The Jordan presented a
fine appearance, its waters rising high towards the green and verdant banks which
border it. A number of Greek pilgrims
had come down from Jerusalem to bathe in
its waters, which is considered as a highly
meritorious act. The Dead Sea was, I
think, a delightful surprise for all our party.
Instead of the dreary and dismal lake we
had thought to see, we found a beautiful
blue expanse of water, gleaming in the sonlight. Its waters, however, are bitter indeed. Another most delightful excursion
was to Bethlehem and the Pools of Solomon. Then came the return to the seacoast by a most suggestive historic route

THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
over Mizpah, Bethoran, and Lydda. At
Jafla the steamer was waiting to take us to
Egypt. I send forward these rough and
hasty notes, gathered up in the few moments gleaned from busy and absorbing days
of visiting among the ancient monuments
of this strange Land of the Pyramids and
the Pharaohs, trusting that even these lines,
poor and unworthy as they are, will prove
to you that I would wish you to be a constant sharer in the p'easure which my
present travels are affording me. Let me
say to you in closing do not fear that a visit
to Palestine will lessen your reverence for
sacred things, and destroy cherished ideals.
Be assured that the Bible becomes more
real and precious after a visit in the Holy

Rev. W. C. Swanson.—This gentleman,
connected during the last quarter of a century with the English Presbyterian Church
Mission in China, passed through Honolulu
on his way to England.about one month ago,
a pissenger on board the Australian steamer.
In former years he was associated with the
well-known Chinese Scoitsh Missionary,
Rev. W. C. Burns. While here he made
himself acquainted with our Chinese work,
and found a few Chinese who spoke the
Fuhchow dialect, but most of our Chinese
speak the Hakka. He spoke encouragingly
respecting the Mission work in China. The
members of his Mission and those of the
American work in the utmost harmony at
Fuhchow. It is a rule of the Society sending him out that their Missionaries abroad
shall return home once every seven years,
and enjoy a furlough of one or two years.
The rule is obligatory. It was exceedingly
pleasant to meet this hearty, cheery, healthy
and earnest Missionary from China, so full
of love and zeal for his work. Ho had
preached three Sabbaths on board the
steamer, besides making a long Missionary
address, at the special request of the passengers.
School Parades.—In some countries
military parades are the great source of
amusement and gratification to rulers and
>eople. We rejoice that in Hawaii, as well
as in the United States, School parades ore
so popular. American papers come filled
with reports of College Commencements
and School Examinations. Our Islands at

Arctic Exploration.
The U. S. Government has fitted the

Island, to proceed to the Arctic in search of
fhe " Jeanette," and the two whalers, '• Vigilant and '• Mt. Wollaston " Lt.-Commander Chenery thus writes, under date of
June 12th
•■ I do not believe any vessel was
ever so
strongly built or well equipped for an Arctic
cruise as the" Rodgers." Her Commanding
Officer, Lieut. Berry, is an old friend
and shipmate of mine. I have great faith
in the success of the voyage."
The sailing of the •' Rodgers " has led to
much discussion, and called forth information from every possible source. Among
others, Capfain Dallmann who commarded
the W. C. " Talbot,'' in 1866, is mude very
conspicuous from having been brought
before the Scientific and Geographical Societies, by Dr. Lindeman, of the Geographical
Society of Bremen. Dr. Lindeman has
published extracts from Captain Dallmann's
Journal, showing that he landed at "Wrangel Land "on the 17th and 18th of July,
1866. He also reports that he bought of
the Indians " walrus tusks, musk ox horns,
and a number of glutton skins.'"
We remember Captain Dallmann as a
man of undoubted truth and veracity, and
cannot think he could have made these
statements unless he did actually land on
"
:
.
VV'rangel Land."
C. W. Brooks, Esquire, of San Francisco,
well known for his geographical researches,
takes up the statements of Captain Dallmann. and stoutly argues that no such
landing could have been made. The subject is fully discussed in a Lecture before
the " California Academy of Sciences."
"
Our limits will not allow us to discuss this
subject at length, but we are, however, so
much interested that we call upon all our
old whaling friends to come forward with
any information they may possess upon the
subject. If Captain W. Reinking \t alive,
who was Mate of the "W. C, Talbot" in
1866, when Captain Dallman was Master,
he is invited to communicate with the
Editor.
We have examined files of the Gazette,
Advertiser and Friend, but find no report
of this landing of Captain Dallman,
although the arrival of tbe "Talbot" is
duly reported; but this is no matter of
surprise because the mere landing on the
shore in the Arctic would not be deemed
of much account in the mind of the master
of a trading schooner.

by no one else but an intelligent, scholarly
and earnest Missionary. With the exception of Sir George Grey, late Governor of
the Cape of Good Hope, and New Zealand,
A. Fornander, Esq.. of Maui, Prof. Alexander, and one or two more, we are not aware
as any others, except English and American
Missionaries, have ever studied Polynesian
Songs, Poems, nnd Traditional historical
lore. It is, however, a subject of great
value, viewed from a philological standpoint.
There are scholars in the universities
of Europe who are now turning their attention to this subject. Only a few days
since the Editor of the Friend received an
order for Hawaiian grammars and vocabularies from Trubner & Co., of London, in
order to meet the demand among philological students in Europe.
Now, the volume lying on our table is
just the book to meet the wants of phiflogical students. More than this, it is a book
showing how sadly the human race has
become lost in sin and estrangement from
God. We regret that our limits will not
allow us the privilege of making long quotations from this volume. The author
notices the visits of Captain Cook among
the " South Seas," and many other points
of interest.
In noticing this book we are reminded of
the rare treat afforded to the audience assembled at the Lyceum.on a recent occasion,
at the Meeting of the Y. M. C. A , when
the Rev. S. E. Bishop addressed the meting. His remarks upon Polynesian history,
traditions, migrations, languages, dialects,
ethnology and kindred topics were full of
interest. If any one imagines that this
part of the world is destitute of subjects for
for scholarly research and study, he is sadly
mistaken. It is pleasant to know that we
have in our community scholars giving
their attention to these subjects. It is very
important to raise sugar-enne, manufacture
sugar, buy and sell merchandise, discuss
politics and the current topics of the day.
but these are not the only subjects to interest
thinking people.
The Sandwich Islands is the banner
nation of the world in education. Every
child is obliged to learn reading and writing,
and there are absolutely no illiterates in a
—
population of 58,000. New Zealand Presbyterian.
With such a reputation abroad cur Island
Government and people must see well to it
that we sustain the good opinion entertained
by our neighbors.

THE FRISND, AUGUST,
EDITOR'S TABLE.
REMINISCENCES OF THOMAS CARLYLE.
*
Seaside Library Edition.
New York: 1881.
We are glad to have a copy of this remarkable man's Reminiscences, float over
the oceau and to our Table. It Is worthreading, because noticing so many historic
characters. The book has given offence,
and no wonder; surviving friends are not
pleased to read ugly things said therein
about their departed friends, even if written
by a great writer like Carlyle. Froude,
the Editor, ought not to have allowed
many passages to be published ; and yet
the Reminiscences lead us to entertain a
far better opinion of Carlyle than formerly.
We cheerfully recommend the book. His
style is peculiar, rugged, strong, but not
safe to imitate. We are reminded of a
paragraph in one of the letters of our European correspondent, after reading his History of Frederick the Oreat, and visiting
scenes described in that book: "You
would not be here long before you acknowledged the magic power of his pen to make
the past live again. To one who is not so
fortunate as to come here, a large part of
his great work must ever, seem enigmatic,
ponderous, disjointed, full of tremendous
words and expressions, like boulders which
the fierce, foam-topped waves of his genius
have swept up ana left bareand grotesque,
and unsightly, on the shores of the printed
page.'' Carlyle's pages everywhere abound
with suoh boulders, even in his Reminisce ucies.
Our limits In the July Supplement
compelled us to omit Mr. C. R. Bishop's
Address, in part.but there is one paragraph
of the omitted part to which we would
specially call attention :
The people have been helped so much
and have had so many things for nothing,
that it does not appear to them unmanly
to ask for almost anything, especially from
the Government. There is no merit in
helping those who can take care of themselves, and things worth having are worth
working for or paying for in some way.
That rule applies to schooling and to books
as well as to otner things."
Now, is not this remark like a sword
with two edges ? Will it not apply to the
foreign as well as native community ? Our
foreign community has been assisted by a
Missionary Society, and the Government,
to educate their children ; but what has the
foreign community on the Hawaiian Islands done for the higher departments of
the education of their children ? Mora
upon this subject in a future No.
"
The Family.
Tbe family is God's institution, and so
He honors and guards it. He intended it
should be the seed-plot of society. Let all
the families of community be what they
shobld be, and the community will be what
it should be. This ia according to the
natural course of things ; and then we have
the promise of God for it:
Train up a
child in (he way he should go, and when
he is old be will not depart from it." Let
the spirit of the family be one of industry,
economy, kindness, cheerfulness, temperance, purity, liberality and godliness, and
the promise of God will be made good,
however unfavorable the circumstances may
be by which they are surrounded.—Mark
Hopkins, D. D.

1881.
PITCAIRNS ISLAND.
Captsin Stevens, commanding H. B. M.
S " Thetis," visited this Island about three
months ago, and was most agreeably impressed, as so many foreign vtsitors have
been, with the people and their conduct.
Among other items of interest we heard
him say that Mrs. Elizabeth Yonng, now
92, was still living. She was the daughter
ot John Mills, the Gunner's Mate of the
•' Bounty." Edward Young continues to
officiate as the spiritual teacher of the inhabitants, now numbering 95. Contentment and kind feeling prevail to a remarkable degree among the people. In the May
number of Scribner's Magazine there is a
most interesting article, written, we believe,
by Mary Ann McCoy.
Some months ago we received a package
of Essays, written by various persons on the
Island. These Essays were written to be
read at the weekly or monthly gatherings
of the people. The following are among
the topics discussed " Our Duty to God,"
The Justice of God," For ye are
bought with a price," " Christ's gracious
Invitation," "God's love to man," •' What
Jesus suffered for us."
If any one will peruse these Essays, he
will most certainly infer that the good
people of Pitcairns are thoroughly orthodox
in their religious opinions. From the article in " Scribner's we learn that in a population of 95. there are 33 communicants.
As they have no ordained minister of the
gospel among them who may administer the
Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, they have
concluded that such an officer"of the
Church is unnecessary, in their peculiar
circumstances, but it is administered as was
done among the early Christians spoken of
in the Book of Acts. Captain Stevens
made to us some most interesting statements relating to this subject. It is pleasant
to know that, among the officers of the
British Navy, there are some like Captain
S., whose v sits and kind words of Christian
sympathy encourage those who are endeavoring to live Christian lives, and perform
Christian work.
:
"
"
"
"
"Search the Scriptures."
The Revision is certainly to have one
good influence. It leads to a study of the
Bible, such as was never before witnessed
in the history of the world. High and low,
learned and ignorant, scholars and clowns,
now are examining and comparing translations. What an impetus was given to
Bible reading in England, when,on the 17th
of May, 2,000,000 of copies of the New
Testament were sent abroad. So eager
were Americans to see the Revised Edition,
that the entire New Testament was sent by
could be forsteamer. An
edition, we learn, was published in a Chicago psper two days in advance of the book
edition. All the English speaking and
leading inhabitants of both hemispheres are
now studying tha New Testament.
We have been much interested iv glancing
over a copy of the London Public Opinion,
of May 28th, containing the newspaper
opinions of Editors of all shades of beleif:
the Catholic Tablet says, the Revised "
approaches or follows the •' Valgale ;" tbe
Jewish World says it is a '-great mistake ;"
the Methodist Recorder says it will take its
place among the Commentaries and Text
Books ; the Times speaks of a failure, yet
of improvement in Paul's Epistles; the
Baptist is " full of thankfulness at what
has been achieved " John Bull says " the
work is not perfect, but is as near perfection
as we can ever expect to get." There is
about the same variety of opinions in Amer-
cablegram," before a copy
"warded
by a swift flying
''
ican papers.
Just now we so far approve because it
leads to a study of the Bible. Good will
come, but we rather regret the Revisers
should change " Search the Scriptures," to
" Ye search the Scriptures."
Our honest advisory suggestion to all our
readers is this: to obtain as soon as possible
a Revised Edition of the New Testament,
with the " Authorized
" and " Revised "
texts on opposite pages or parallel columns,
and to read portions each day. More at a
future time.
Golden Wedding.—If spared until the
25th of October, the Rev. W. P. Alexander
and wife, of Wailuku, Muui. will celebrate
their Golden Wedding. No household on
the Islands, certainly no one connected
with the American Mission, has been
blessed with more numerous descendants.
Their family consists of nine children, with
no deaths, 5 sons and 4 daughters. Seven
of the children are married and have
children, so that in all there are now 45
to gather and congratulate their honored
parents and grandparents, on this 50th anniversary.
The Rev. William Patterson Alexander
was born in Paris, Bourbon County, Ky.,
July 25tb, 1805, and Mrs. Mary Ann
McKinoev Alexander was born in Wilmington, Del., June sth, 1810. They were
married October 25th, 1831. They labored

A Fresh Breeze from Kohala.—The
friends and Trustees of Oahu College are
looking out to learn which way the wind
blows. Here is a fresh breeze from Hawaii:

Our correspondent adds : "It seems too

Such
encouraging
language ought to
make the Trustrees feel confident and nerve
them to make a strong appeal for both re-
building and endowment.
Another Breeze from Hawaii for
Oahu College.—H. M. W., Esq., from
Kau, thus writes:
"lam hearti'y iv sympathy with you

there are many others who have the same
feeling. Au Aloha for tbe Institution, and
a hope that some action may be taken
which shall bring forth a rich Endowment
harvest for it, making it more useful to the
rising generation of both our native and
foreign-born population. Take the catalogue of those who have already received
instruction at Punabou, resident here and
abroad, and mark tbe names of those able
to contribute by the thousand dollars, and
then add the names of the wealthy friends
of the Islands, living abroad, who received
tbe foundation of their income here, and
who will probably consider It a pleasure
rather than a burden to join in the contribution, and you can easily reckon on a
noble Endowment of $100,000 for Punahou.
Goahead with this Punahsu Endowment,
uutil success crowns your efforts."

up a child in the
This precept, or proverb of Solomon, is
ordinarily applied t# the religious education of little children ; but such an application is quite too narrow and restricted. I
see no good reason why it should not apply
to that broad and comprehensive training
which goes to fit the young for the responsible duties of this life, and the retributions
of the life to come Every child has many
teachers. His parents are his earliest, but
soon other teachers come forward to perform their part, and contribute their influence to that training which every child
must receive. This training is not confined
to mere childhood, but extends forward to
youth—even to manhood. Supposing the
word train to partake of a military character, then children must undergo a long
course of discipline, for soldiers undergo
training as long as they are soldiers. They
never cease to be trained.
1 propose now giving the term a much
broader application than that usually given.
I would apply it to the higher departments
of an education. Train up a child, not
only when very young, but keep training
that child until he or she becomes a fullgrown man or woman. President Jones

first to recognize the independence of Hawaii. She has given us a treaty that is
pouring wealth into this land, and which
has also increased the trade with other nations." Now, what lam pleading for is,
that some of this abounding wealth may be
diverted into channels which invigorate our
higher seminaries of learning. Standing
in this pulpit, pleading for Home Evangelization, in June, 1879,1 argued that the
higher education of the people was a part of
that Evangelization, and I furthermore re-
marked, "when the scheme of annexation
was agitated some twenty and more years
ago, it was stipulated that one tenth part of
the 1,000,000 of dollars to be paid for
these islands was to be devoted to the higher
institutions of learning, and Oahu College
was to be handsomely endowed. I have
regretted that when Reciprocity was initiated and secured, the cause of higher education was not to receive a generous portion
of the duties remitted on sugar and other
island exports to the United States. One
tenth of duties remitted during the " seven
years of plenty," would have been a handsome contribution lo the higher purposes of
education." I still hope something generous and noble will he done by private contribution. Here let me remark, that unless
we do something worthy ol the cause of
education, and to carry forward the unfinished work left for us lo perform, I fear
a portion of that •' woe" pronounced by

and labor to carry forward tbe work of
higher education which tbey initiated and
committed to our hands? This remains lo
be seen. In no way can the children and
grandchildren of the Missionary fathers and
mothers confer higher honor upon them
than by building a noble structure upon the
foundation which they laid. The present
and coming generations on these islands
need to keep this noble purpose continually
before their minds. Let it not be said that
tbe spirit of tbe Missionary tathers has
degenerated into a low, time-serving, moneygetting and mercenary race for gain. Is

Third: The present Generation owes
an Honest Debt, in this line of Christian
—
Benevolence.
There are few communities in the world
which have been more signally blessed,
directly and indirectry, through the influence of Christian Missions, than our Island
community. 1 refer not alone to the native
population, but to the foreign as well. Fortunes have been, accumulated on the Hawaiian Islands, that never would have been
accumulated but for the influence of Christian Missions. How can the debt of obligation resting upon those thus blessed" be
discharged in a more becoming and appropriate manner, than by doing something for
the higher education of the present and
future generations of these islands?
Furthermore, our foreign island community embrcaes an uncommon number of
educated men and women. Many of these
have been educated at the best of schools
and colleges in America and Europe. Do
not they owe a debt which may legitimately
be discharged in building up schools and
seminaries on these islands, where the
higher branches may be taught ? Suppose
a few go abroad for their education, yet a
majority ot those born here will here obtain
all their education, and they should enjoy
the best that can be afforded. I have carefully studied the character of schools and
colleges in other lands, and unless a youth
is bound for a professional career, I think
that here he may be as well educated as in
other lands. We should aim to see our
children and grandchildren as well educated as possible, without going abroad. The
men of means and education owe a debt
which they are now called upon to discharge.
When approached, many reply : " We
cannot help until we are out of debt."
Most merchants and planters acknowledged
as worth one, two, or three hundred thousand dollars, owing debts amounting to one
quarter or one tenth, are probably as near
out of debt as they ever will be. Debts
are a necessary incumbrance to many business men. Get rid of debts as soon as
possible, but do not wait until all are paid
before engaging in deeds of genuine benev-
olence.
There is no one thing that our island

This enterprise is in harmony with that

lofty cathedrals in cities, churches in villages, and a school-house in every hamlet or

colleges, seminaries, and institutions,
from whose towering domes, spires and observatories, Science and Christianity flash

fellow-Christians and citizens on the Hawaiian Islands. A portion of our island

thousands for a Park, and for their support

AN APPEAL FOR $50,000.
After some weeks of deliberation, repeated
visits to the premises, several meetings of
the Trustees, and examination of architect's
plans and specifications, the Trustees have
unanimously decided to appeal to the
friends of the college here,and in the United
States, for a building fund of |50,000. to be
raised prior to January 1, ISB2. One fifth
of the amount—slo.ooo—is already in the
Treasurer's hands. The Report annexed
we commend to the careful perusal of our

buildings renders this action of the Trustees a matter of absolute necessity. They
suggest that the friends of the college now
contribute to this Building Fund, and that
they at an early date signify the amounts
they are willing to give. At the last meeting ol the Board, the Hon. Mr. F. Judd and
Dr. Damon were appointed a Committee to
solicit subscriptions, although donations
■niiy be made direct to C. M. Cooke, Esq.,
Treasurer.
Contributors have varied in
their contributions from SI to $5,000. Any
sum, however small or however large, will
be most thankfully received. Now is the
time for action; the subject has been fully
discussed.
Jo the Board of Trustees of Oahu College .-—The
•Committee to whom was referred the matter of
examining, considering, and reporting the most
desirable plan at present for the improvement
of the college property, and to meet the demand
of the near fiiture, respectfully report as follows:
They have several times visited and inspected
replacement.
The school building is now in a very fair state
of repair, bnt its usefulness can perhaps be increased if the plan below shall be adopted.
The two main stone dwellings, so far as walls
are concerned are in good condition, but the
connecting adobe one-story structure, the three
wings and the kitchen department are in a deplorable state of decay, and must soon receive
very extensive repairs, if not be almost rebuilt.
They may last for some time longer, but their
old-time usefulness is very nearly departed. In
addition to this, their appearance is such as to
do positive discredit to the school.
To restore the buildings on their present plan,
to a good condition, must cost several thousand
dollars, and at the completion of such repairs,
we shall have then nothing but low, small rooms
for any purposes, and for that of culinary and
dining-room more especially, positively insufficient.
It appears evident, therefore, that the time
has arrived when something must be done in the
line of building if we would have the school
retain its foremost position and take a still
higher position in the future.
Several plans have been presented and discussed by your Committee, but that which
seems on the whole most advisable, and which
they unanimously recommend, is the erection of
a three-story brick or stone building filling the
space between the present two stone dwellings
but considerably wider, as will appear more
fully by plans and drawings herewith submitted.
Such a building will be of size sufficient to
contain a commodious dining-room, library, and
music parlor; with some minor offices besidse
dormitories.
It will contain space for several good, well
ventilated sleeping rooms, and should be built
with reference thereto.
Hence your Committee recommend, that the
public should be invited to contribute the sum
of $50,000, for the erection and completion of a
building as above described.

ALEXANDRIA—A CITY OF THE PRESENT.
On reaching
Alexandria we were
obliged to undergo certain formalities
connected with the quarantine which,
though continued, for a few hours
only, were not altogether agreeable, and
which imparted to our entrance upon classic
Egyptian soil rather an undignified character. There had been some excitement some
months since in the Orient in reference to
the pest which appeared at Bagdad for a
time, and which led to a quarantine in certain ports of all passengers coming from
Syria. But the danger seemed to be long past
when we reached Alexandria, so that some
or our victimized number were prone to
think that the numerous officials and Government servants found the quarantine

quarantine beyond its due time. At all
events, they found it necessary to fumigate

countless preliminaries and endless " red
tape," we were allowed to go forth just as
the sun was sinking in the hot west, and
the soft, balmy Egyptian night was coming
on—glad enough of the welcome which the
bright, busy modern city of Alexandria
seemed to offer us. From Palestine to
Egypt is an agreeable journey by sea,
quickly over. In Jaffa we took the French
steamer, which brought us in a short time,
with a day's stay at Port Said, to Alexandria. This latter city is one entirely of the
present. The ancient and classic Alexandria exists here no longer—not even in ruins.
The imagination must supply the magnificent background which the name of this once
so proud metropolis suggests. From the
days of Alexander the Great, who founded
the city 332 8.C., for long centuries it continued to be one of the grandest centers of
the ancient world—the connecting link
between the Occident and the Orient, the
abode of royalty, the home of great men, the
cradle of the arts and sciences, the center
of important and influential schools of philosophy ; rich in priceless artistic collections

and libraries; busy with the eager life of an
enormous and prosperous commerce. Here
the ancient philosophies of Heathen Greece
passed away ; here Christianity appeared
in various phases of its early development.
After Koine and Athens, no city has written
its records in more proud and enduring
characters than Alexandria. And now this
"rand old city o( the ancients has passed
away—vanished like a great and imposing
vision. Arid yet there is here still a busy
mart of swarming life, and of no small importance, bearing the same great name
which, though sitting loosely upon it like a
garment too large for its wearer, is not
wholly dishonored by the smaller stature
beneath. Since the time of Mohnmmed
Ali, in the early part of this century, the
city, which for ages hud faded almost out of
existence, has begun to attain importance,
till it now possesses a population of '• upwards of 200,000 souls, including at least
50,000 Europeans. In its palmy d*ys it is
sajd to have numbered more than half a
million inhabitants." The site once occupied by the famous •» Museum" is now
covered by the houses and shops of the
modern city. Here was the famous Library
of Alexandria, which \v«s destroyed by
flames—one of the greatest trensures of the
ancient world, lost now forever. It is estimated that there were here collected something like 900,000 volumes. The celebrated
obelisks called "Cleopatra's Needles," once
sought out here by all. travellers, are now to
be seen in London and New York. The
only remnant of the city of classical times
to be seen here is the lofty and imposing
column of red granite called •■ Pompey's
Pillar." This stands in the outskirts of the
modern city, probably near the site of the
ancient "Serapium," or Temple of Serapio.
It stands in solitary grandeur, as if unconscious of the changes which «re going forward here at its base, lost in an absorbing
revery. Near its base are fragments of
broken Egyptian statues. No attention
whatever seems to be paid by the city authorities to the space in which it stands. In
the splendid h-irbor of Alexandria we noticed
a very large number of vessels and steamers
as we arrived. This was the harbor of the
Greeks, called " Eunostos," or harbor of
those " returning home in safety." There
was also in their time another harbor lying
further to the east, now almost unused.
Between these runs a long body of land,
now covered with the houses of the city.
Near here was placed a famous lighthouse
on the small island'of •■ Pharos."
I chanced to be in Alexandria at the time
of the Greek Easter, and the city wore a
most animated appearance. The Mohammedans seemed to be enjoying some festival
at the same time. Along the canals there
were booths erected, and music and dancing
and merrymaking of all kinds occupied the
lower classes. The city is so thoroughly
Europeanized that it seems like some modern Italian or French town with colonists
from Egypt and Greece. The shades of
Alexander, of Cleopatra, of Hypatia, revisiting their old homes, would be at a loss to
know where they were.

,
�Arabian architecture. The " Mosque of
Sultan Hassan," now foiling to decay, is a
magnificent structure, and. though in partial
ruin, delights the eye by the superb symmetry of its vast proportions, by the exquisite
beauty and delicate finish of its wondrous
carvings and traceries. Of a comparatively
recent date is the Alabaster Mosque of
Mohammed 'Ali, in the Citadel, rising
splendidly above the city. The effect of its
vast, dim, carpeted interior, where a few of
the " Faithful " may always be seen, and
of its great, open court, one mass of alabaster, is exceedingly fine. Cairo is one of the
strongholds of lslamism, which still rules
with such a mighty power here at the East.
Here may be visited an immense University
where some 11,000 students from all parts
of the Mohammedan world, are instructed
by a large body of Professors or Sheifcsjn the
principles and tenets of Islom. Among
them are men from remote regions, und of
most fanatical devotion to their creed. The
tombs of the Kaliphs and of the Mamelukes are " cities of the dead," vast collections of mosques and tombs which have
been reared during past centuries, but now
neglected. Here may be seen some most
striking and beautiful buildings. Scattered
through the city are numerous and oftentimes beautiful palaces, and gardens of the
Khedive and Pashas, which testify to the
great wealth of their owners.
No ore visiting Cairo should fail to see
the " Museum of Egyptian Antiquities at
Bulok, one of the suburbs of the city. On
entering the pleasant garden before the museum, one will be struck by the simple and
yet singularly appropriate monument recently erected to the memory of M. Mariette,
the distinguished French archaeologist and
enthusiastic nnd successful discoverer and
explorer, to whose exertions the existence
of this museum is mainly due. He died
only a few months since. There is something singularly appropriate in the position
of his tomb. It is a huge sarcophagus in
the ancient Egypti-n style, and marked
only with his name, " Mariette." Above
this rises a classic Egyptian figure. Beyond
the gardens flows the stately Nile, fringed
with palms, and dotted with the quaint sails
of the river boots
Near at hand is .the
fnuseum, with its magnificent collection,
which he did so much to rescue from bene>ih
the drifted sands of centuries. The museum is probably the finest of its kind in the
world, and is managed with the greatest
care and taste. Egyptian art and history
for thousands of ye-.rs may be studied here
and amid these groups of solemn and mysterious sphinxes, of Gods, and heroes, and
Kings, the Present seems for the moment
effaced and the Past lives again. In striking
contrast to this picture of ancient Egypt is
the carnival-like spectacle which may be
studied with no less though different interest on the Shubra Avenue towards sunset.
The fashionables of the town, both •• Mohammedan and Christian drive or ride here
daily. The scene, which is sometimes
enlivened by handsomely caparisoned
cornels from the stables of the Khedive,
resembles the " corso of European cities,
but is rendered far more picturesque by its
Oriental elements. The carriages of the
slightly veiled ladies from the houses of the

wealthy, und those of the ministers, the
consuls, and the merchants, followed each
other in gay procession, while the majestic
camel stmks moodily amidst the busy
throng."
So you will see that Cairo is a meeting
for*he Orient and Occident. Here
Christianity has begun its good work. But
Mohammedanism is still the great power
which moulds the lives and thoughts of the
vast majority of the people. The present
Khedive, still a young man, seems to be

THE PYRAMIDS AND THE SPHINX.
The most interesting excursion from Cairo, is to the Pyramids. Yesterday I visited,
with the Rev. Mr. Pork, a son of Rev. Professor Park, of Andover, the ruins of ancient
Memphis, and the wonderful Apis-tombs, at
Sakara, a day full of interest.
We started early this lovely morning for
the Pyramids just as a new sun was gilding
the minarets of the city and while its beautiful
gardens lay still in moist shades. Our brighteyed and quick-witted "donkey-boys" amused us with their observations and remarks as
they trotted along beside us, apparently never
wearied by their exertions. The Pyramids
may be seen distinctly Irom Cairo, and form

crossing the splendid iron bridge spanning
the Nile, we struck off down heavy treefringed avenues lying amid golden fields of
grain, and in two hours and h little more,
were at the base of the "great Pyramid,"
which loomed up like a great mount.in before us. We were besieged immediately by
a shouting company of the "Bedouins of the
Desert." who ''do the honors" of the PyraPromismids by a sort of hereditary right
ing them a sufficient "Baksheesh," that all
potent charm of the East, we were soon
mounting up the rocky sides of the huge
pile. What a journey! Once you will try
it but never more than once. And yet you
will never regret having made the effort.
One Arab had my right hand and another
my left and every now and then came
another to our assistance. It was a testing
of every individual joint and muse c of the
body. But at last the summit was reacheJ
and we were amply repaid (or all the exertions which we had made. An old Arabi-n
physician of Baghdad, once said: "Eoerything fears time, but timefears the Pyramids." The truth of this statement you
abundantly feel on gazing on these stupendous piles, which have stood for thousands of
years, the most ancient structures formed by
human hands. The view from the summit
of the " Pyramid of Cheops," the only one
ascended by travelers, is most striking and
beautiful. "On one side the glorious sweep
of golden-brown and emerald-green fields,
with the glittering, silvery line of the river,
and the minarets and towers of the city beyond. On the other side the gloomy, sunscorched sands of the Libyan desert, stretch-

ing uw.y like some vast ocean to unknown
shores beyond. On its edge rise other
Pyramids as a barrier between its
death and descl.tion and the ever returning
life of the Delta. We rest for a few moments when once safely down from our giddy
ascent and then enter the narrow passage
leading to the heart of the great Pyramid.
Outside wis dazzling sunlight here is a gloom
ns of night. We crouch and bend into all
kinds of undignified shapes, so low are the
passages. We cling close to our Arabs for
fear of falling off into some unknown depths
into this darkness which can be felt, which
our torches cannot pierce. The air is close
and hot. There is a rustling of bats wings.
Above us is the weight of countless tons of
massive stone. But at last we find ourselves in the heart of the Pyramid, in the
"King's Chamber," and see the empty sarcophagus, that mute testimony to the object
of this great structure. Then once more return to life and day, we visit the colossal
figure of the sphinx half-buried away amid
drifting sands, and huge temples and tombs
near at hand. And this 1 tell you in hurried words th.tyou may know of what I shall
find m-.terial to talk when there is mors time
than now.
AN ANCIENT MONUMENT.
We found time, during our stay in Cairo,
to go out to the site of the ancient city oi
Heiiopolis, or On. Here still stands in the
midst of me grain fields one solitary obelisk
upon which Moses might h"ve gazed wondering at its antiquity. And another excursion, full of interest, wns to the necropolis of
Sakara, near the ancient Memphis. Here
are the famous Tombs of Apis, the Sacred
Bull of Egyptian worship. The gigantic
sarcoph-gi placed in the gloomy niches
hewed out of of the sdlid rock r.re more the
work of Titans than of men. Ne-r these are
countless tombs r-ome of them marvelously
preserved. The walls ore covered with
frescoes fresh and bright as if laid on yesterday. Where Memphis, one of the grandest
and proudest cities of antiquity, once stood
are now waving groves of p.lms and native
vill.ges. Near the roadside lies a huge
statue of Ramses 11, too large to be taken
away, or else we would not hive found it
here. I> is the property of the British Museum. Some d-.y even this may go and
perhaps n little later on we will not know
where great Memphis stood.
FARTHER EASTWARD.

These few lines, which I om now sending

scanty time offered me since my arrival in
Bombay. To keep the links of travel together, let me say that from Cairo I c-inre
by rail to Suez, through the " land of
Goshen," bordering the desert, where the
children of Isrdel labored under tneir Egyptian taskmasters, for so many long, weary
years. Suez has become an important point
since the completion of the canal, which is
proving so eminently successful. M. dc
Lesseps has recently visited Suez and Port
Said, in company with the Khedive. It is
to be hoped that be may live to conduct to
a successful completion his Panama Can»l
scheme and that the Pacific Ocean may
gain as much from it, as the Indian Ocean

is probable that the host of the children of
Israel, with Moses at their head, passed
through the Red Sea. It was a fascinating
occupation to watch the* misty line of the
opposite shore of Arabia Petra, and to think
of all the mighty wonders there wrought.
Here they sang their song of Triumph,
here waters gushed forth from the smitten
rock, here shone the fiery cloud by night
and floated as a beacon guide by day.
Unfortunately the mists and clouds covered
the mountains of the Peninsula of Sinai
as we sailed down the Red Sea. so that the
great and sacred mount was veiled from us.
From Suez, taking the good Italian steamer
/Sumatra of the Rubattin's line, we steamed
down the Red Sea, to Aden, a British
garrisoned settlement on the south coast of
Arabia. Here « halt of a few hours was
made. The sunset died slowly away in
rosy light—just as we came to anchor. The
sharp peaks of the Arabian coast were
tinted in tenderest hues of violet and blue.
A great silver moon came up to keep us
company during the pleasant evening we
spent on shore. Then onward, in straight
course across the Indian Ocean to Bombay,
without a suggestion of storm or tempest.
And now a few days are being spent in this
busy, beautiful city, preparatory to leaving
by overland route for Calcutta. My next
letter to you will be colored by the enthusiasm which this wonderful Eastern Empire
awakens.
HALLENBECK'S MISSION-IN
HONOLULU.
Some months ago the Y. M. C. A. invited Mr. Moody to visit this city, and labor
engageas an Evangelist. On account
ments elsewhere he could not come. An
invitation was then extended to Mr. Hallenbeck, who belongs to the same class of lay
preachers, and who had labored with Mr.
Moody. He arrived unheralded in the
early part of August, and, after conferring
with our Temperance Committee and others,
he commenced his labors in Fort Street
Church, Sabbath evening, August 14th,
and has continued them for two weeks.
MR.
«
These meetings have all been numerously
attended. In addition, Sabbath afternoons,
at 3 p. m., there have been meetings at the
Lyceum, also a woman's prayer meeting
every afternoon at Fort Street Lecture
Room. In addition to the evening meetings
in the large audience room above.there have
been meetings of enquiry in the rooms below. In order that our readers may form a
correct and satisfactory idea of the nature
of these meetings, and the topics discusseed,
we present the following list of subjects
upon which Mr. Hallenbeck has spoken
during the past two weeks :—

trated by Bible references ond solemn
appeals, while hearers of all classes have
been earnestly entreated to abandon their
sins, and enter upon a new life. Many
have done so. To express the idea fully
the ice has been thoroughly broken up. The
formal.reserved and distant style of Christian
intercourse has givtn place to a cordial and
earnest style of Christian intercourse and
Christian work. Christians are aroused,
and are engaged in active labors to second
the teachings of the Evangelist. It is
earnestly hoped that which has been expe.
rienced is only as the drops of a more
plentiful shower. This good work it is to
be hoped will spread all over the group, and
not cease until the whole Island community
is permeated with the Gospel element, and
Temperance principles.

Montano's Volcanic Photographs.
During the eruption, our enterprising photographer, Mr. Montano, repaired to Hawaii, and there took views in the vicinity
of Hilo and at the old crater. They present
vivid delineations of the present state of volcanic action. We are glad to learn that he
has found a ready sale for a large number of
these views. Unmounted they can be for-
warded by mail, and will convey to those
abroad, some of the features of the most noteworthy volcanic eruption of this age. Only
think of it, commencing last November and
flowing in one steady stream nearly sixty
miles direct for the town and Bay of Hilo,
and when supposed about to overwhelm the
beautiful town of Hilo and fill up the Bay,
stopping at a point less than one mile from
the town! The people have prayed that God
would interpose and spare the town, and
now they are giving thanks for their signal
deliverance. Who dare say, God has not
heard and answered their prayers? Read
the 104th Psalm: '• He looketh upon the
earth, and it trembleth; he toucheth the hills
and they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord
report of these fifteen and more addresses. as long as I live."

with Tsu Soon Kee, an attache of the Chinese embassy at Washington. He says that
the Chinese students withdrawn from America will be sent to England, France and
Germany. They number 100. The Chinese government will hereafter educate students in Europe and China, where military
and naval schools are being established. The
inference drawn by the interviewer is that
the Chinese Governmentfears the progressiveness of American institutions. Tsu Soon
Kee snys the new embassy, headed by Jum

Few men suspect—perhaps no man
comprehends—the extent of the support
given by religion to every virtue. No man,
probably, is aware how much our moral and
social sentiments are fed from this fountain ;
how powerless conscience would become
without the belief in a God ; how palsied
would be human benevolence were there
not the sense of a higher benevolence to
quicken and sustain it; how suddenly the
whole social fabric would quake, and with
what a fearful crash it would sink into
hopeless ruin, were the ideas of a Supreme
Being, ol accountableness, and of a future
life, to be uttely erased from every mind.

THE FRIEND,
Glimpses at Mission Life in Micronesia.
Some weeks ago, a letter of the Rev. Mr.
Doane, addressed to the Rev. Dr. Clark, in
Boston, was placed in our hands, with the
privilege granted that we might make such
extracts for our columns us we saw fit.
That we have not earlier copied certain
paragraphs, has not been for lack of interest,
but because our columns, for July and
August, have been so crowded with documents relating to educational matters, especially relating to the interests of Oahu
College. To meet the demands we have
issued two supplements.
This whole subject of missions, in nil its
branches and details, is one of surpassing
importance and growing interest. There is
a work now going forward in the remote
islands of Micronesia, th»t equals in importance, anything that m»y be witnessed in
the revivals of Christian lands. God is
showing in Micronesia how graciously he
can work and save souls by the feeblest
instrumentalities New converts are going

But here we are, close into it, anchor

it has brought to its joys and success in
work. We go ashore in time, and lo the

flanked by fathers and mothers and all
singing their welcome songs, and ready for
the hand shaking, bright youth, but all a
year ago wild as the mountain deer, fleeing
from fright when we landed near their
homes. The scene is affecting, as we look
into their bright feyes and roe the change
the Lord has wrought in these wild, savage
ones during the year. But it is prophetic
of the larger change yet to pass over all the
islands ol this vast lagoon. P.ssing from
the shore with rapid hand-shaking, we

the really good native oranges abundant on
the islands, then pass on to the church,
large, well-made, and soon welt-filled with
natives. Twenty-four have been gathered
to take upon themselves the vows of the
new life. Some are aged ones. I tun
surprised to see how well they have taken
to the new truths taught by Moses. His
experience in work on other islands has
been a help to him. But the day has ended,
in the morning we must take up our work
to organize the new church. We are ashore

it was a question with me ot not seeing
India at all, or of seeing it at the most trying
and unpleasant time of the year, namely,
the " Hot Season,'' when no one thinks of
coming to India for pleasure; and when
those who are condemned to remain here
speak of existence as a burden. But to lose
perhaps the only opportunity I might have
in life of seeing an Empire—one of the most
interesting and remarkable in the world—
was something which I could not well bring
myself to do. Hence, I determiped to try
to see as much of the country and its varied
peoples as my time and the season would
permit And I ahull never cense to be grateful that I have been enabled to do so. I
found the prophecied difficulties largely exaggerated. My mornings and evenings in
India have been rich harvest-times to roe—
when a thousand curious, and suggestive
and instructive sights have proved to me
that he who visits India visits a land unrivalled in picturesque elements, and offering
in point of historic interest, of artistic attainments, of natural peculiarities and religious

thought and study. In the letters which 1

than trace in the most rapid manner the

earth, and then have room. The light-hued
waters were dotted with countless small
native boats, with great spreading sails,
which, catching the wind, dipped towards
the waves, and then dieted away like birds
on the wing. All along the shore were
graceful lines of tufted palm and cocoanut
trees, reminding us that we were in the
tropics In a short time we were amid the
grouped masts of the shipping and the long
lines of the large ocean and lesser cossting
steamers. I wonder more is not said about
the situation of Bombay. There are few
sights in the world more beautiful th»n that
which this city presents —lying partly on
islands, and partly on the main land —lifting
itself.'like a sort of Eastern Venice, from the
waves, and more beautiful than its rival in
the added charms of mountains and tropical
vegetations. All this one might, perhaps,
expect to find ; but 1 fancy that, unless one
Ims been beforehand prepared for it, that the
superb line of magnificent modern public
buildings which loom up above the greenfringed shore will be for a time a great and
delightful surprise. In the first moments,
after landing, I found no little difficulty in
realizing on what favored shore I had been
cast. Just before me was a' strikinglybeautiful structure, richly and ornately ornamented, and constructed in the most pilutial manner. And I found my surprise in
no way diminished on being told that this
was the " Sailors' Home." A visit later on
proved to me that here certainly a palace is
opened to seamen. Royal guests of the city
would be given a fur less splendid abode. 1
rejoiced with all my heart that here at least,
after long and stormy voyagings, the toilers
"
of the deep " could find a home so beautiful
and comfortable. If surroundings have an
influence on the-man, then every sailor who
changes his close and ill-kept ship quarters
for these spacious and airy rooms, these
broad verandahs, and blooming, fragrant
tropical gardens, must find in them an inand inspiration to n pure and right

The Parsees, instead of burning their dead,
as do the Hindoos, expose them on a high,
lofty structure called the "Tower of Silence," just outside the city, where the
bodies remain till the elements and the
•' fowls of the air " have done their work,
and left the bare skeleton for interment.
The native portion of the city covers a great
extent, and to one just arriving in India presents many peculiar and picturesque sights,
though it is more Europeanized than some
of the cities of the interior. One of the
real ornaments of the city is its Market,''
"
where the flower and fruit display is especially fine. About the main building are
beautiful gardens, kept up in the best style,
where the vines, and palms, and gorgeous
blossoms of the tropics combine to form a
most brilliant and fascinating picture.
Bombay is famous for its mangoes, which
are here to be found of »n unrivalled size
and flavor The great variety is almost bewildering ; and an artist would delight in
the great golden heaps over which the turbtnned sellers preside in such a picturesque
way. We would do well at the islands,
where the mangoe flourishes so finely, to
introduce some of these choice varieties,
which 1 think are nalive to Bombay. The
European anstocr.cy of the city lives, for a
portion of the year nt least, on n long tongue
of hind running fur out into the sea, on
whose farthest extremity is situated the
Government House," the residence of the
"Governor
of the Bombay Presidency. The
long avenue of cool, luxuriously-comfortable
bungalows, half-buried away under a glorious bower of tropical leafage and bloom,
presents a most charming appearance. From
the heights uf Malabar Hill, as this portion
of the city is called, the views over the great
city are wonderfully fine, especially towards
sunset. You look over a great, green expanse of palms
The monumental pile of
public buildings to which 1 have alluded
above, grace toe opposite shore, from which
sweeps towards us the crescent-curve of the
hay, where the peaceful waters of the Indian
Ocenn give now no hint of all the possibilities of storm which they hold in their green
depths. Back of this is the great city, with
its lofty houses and quaint and varied archi-
tecture.
But the excursion par excellence to be
made, during a visit to Bombay, is to the
" Caves of Elephanta," lying on one of the
Islands in the bay. These are in reality
ancient Brahminical temples, cut out of trie
solid rock of the mountain side, and are of
very great antiquity, and are still in a tolerably fair state of preservation. They consist of spacious halls, with supporting
columns, elaborately carved and ornamented.
The capitals are formed of huge elephants'
heads, cut out of the rock. On all the walls
are images of various gods, some of them
grotesque in the extreme, and other fashioned
with very considerable artistic skill. The
view out on the blue bay, and towards the
Islands covered with palms, is extremely
fine. A continual twilight like gloom reigns
in these temples, which is singularly in contrast with the bright glory of the sun-lit
world, without their wails.
There are in Bombay many important
schools and colleges, and in many ways one
can see that European civilization is making
itself felt here. Still, the Parsee and Hindv temples, and Mohammedian mosques rise
side by side with Christian churches, and
old faiths and traditions and superstitions
have a mighty power here, though there is
reason to believe that theso are being slowly
undermined
Short as Was my stay in
Bombay. I left the city with regret. Its
broad avenues bordered with beautiful trees,
its fine huildings and monuments, and busy,
bustling life, with its varied and picturesque
coloring, I shall not soon forget.
AN OLD INDIAN STATE AND ITS
CAPITAL,
The short time which I could aliow my-
self for India, did not permit me to see many
points which I should have been very glad
to have included in my programme of travel.
But, fortunately, by taking the overland
route to Calcutta, with some excursions from
the main line one is enabled to see the most
important and interesting cities of tne Empire. Availing myself f..r the first part of
my journey of n recently opened railway. I
had a most excellent opportunity of seeing a
part of India which has until recently been
closed to the general traveling public. The
progress which railroads have made in India
is something truly astonishing. The whole
country is covered with a net-work of ironroads, which enable the traveller to visit
nearly oil parts of India with the greatest
ease. 1 know of no country where the conveniences of railway travel are greater than
here, unless it be the United States. Yon
can cross all the w«y from Bombay to Calcutta or Madras by rail. The interior states
are being all connected hy railroads, and you
can go almost to the frontiers of Afghanistan and Cashmere, and to the base of the
lofty Himalayas in luxuriously comfortable
railway carriages. Leaving Bombay, our
road led first through the fertile and populous territory of Guzerat, lying along the
ocean. We crossed the stately Nerbudda,
of the sacred rivers of the Hindu, in
the early morning. From the lofty height
of the magnificent bridge, spanning this
noble river, we caught fine glimpses of its
waters. The hush of the night, the beauty
of the summer sky in which a waning moon
shone with calm and peaceful radiance, and
the grand, onwartl sweeping tide of the
great river, combined to produce an effect
as impressive as it was pleasing. At
Ahmedabad, I broke the journey for a day,
and found much to interest me in the native
life of the streets and bazaars, and in the
fine old ruins of graceful mosques, which
were built originally hy the Mohammedan
Kings of Guzerut. Bordering upon Guzerat
are the native states of Rajputana, and the
few days which I spent in passing through
them, and especially in one of them, Jeypore. were most interesting. Of these states
Sir Richard Temple, in his recent work,
" India in 18S0," speaks as follows : •' A
large congeries of states is formed under the
name of Rajputana or Rajasthan, of which
the principal are, Udeypur, Jyepur, and
Jodhpur. These Rajput chiefs have, next
to the Brahmins, the purest blood in* India.
In antiquity of descent they rank peerless
among the native sovereigns ; the pink and
flower of Indian heraldry is acknowledged
to be with them. During the earlier Mohammedan invasions they won imperishable
fame by deeds like those of the defenders of

India, is indescribably disgusting. The
public gardens are said to be the finest in
India. They were laid out nt a very great
expense, and are marvels of beauty. 1 am
finding constantly old friends in the flowers
and shrubs and trees of India, from which
country they have nrobab'y been introduced
into our Islands. But here many of them
flourish with a luxuriance which they
scarcely show in their adopted home. The
green open spaces of the gardens, seen at
evening, covered with crowds of brightly
dressed people, presents a very beautiful
appearance. I visited the palaces and gardens of the Maharajah, where one sees
many costly and beautiful things, but very
much, also that is scarcely in keeping with
refined taste. Behind the gardens is an immense tank where a large number of crocodiles are kept, and they seem to find life
very enjoyable basking in the sunshine. In
another part of the city are cages of splendid tigers and leopards, caught in the vicinity. The jungle is said to be infested with
them. One tiger, a '• man-eater." had been
captured in a huge cage, the day before our
v sit. He seemed to realize that he was
conquered, and glared at us in a sullen way.
In connection with the Palace ot the King,

to leave the next week for England retiring
from a position which he had efficiently
filled for mnny years. The Residency is a
splendid palatial building in oriental style,
surrounded by beautiful gardens, filled with
the rarest trees and most fragrant flowers.
Late in the nftemoon the guests began to
gather. There were but few Europeans
present, but the crowd of native princes and
" lesser lights " was very large. A more
picturesque sight could scarcely be imagined.
Booths and tents were raised in various
parts of the garden, and n great variety of
entertainments were offered. There were

these services. The religious awakening in
Honolulu has undoubtedly had its beneficial
indirect influence upon the Christian Chinese.
It is eminently fitting and proper that Anglo-Saxon professing Christians should faithfully perform their duty to their domestics
coining from a heathen land. There never
was a more opportune season to work for a
heathen people than thnt now enjoyed by
Christians in Honolulu.
"We learn that Mr. Frank W. Damon.
recently returned from his studies
and travels in Europe and the East, has been
invited by the Hawaiian Evangelical Association to superintend the Chinese mission
work on these islands, and that in order to
fulfill the duties of the office, he has already
commenced to devote himself to the study
of the Chinese language."
We clip this paragraph from the Saturday
Press, of Sept. 24.
"Our European correspondent" has for
nearly five years, filled a large space in our
monthly sheet with notes and observations
upon all the countries of Europe, except
Russia, Spain and Portugal. In his rambles
he has visited all those nations of ihe "Old
World," and on h s homeward way, via
Egypt, India, China and Japan, has extended his "rambles" among nations still "older"
than those of Europe. From memoranda,
who has
gathered on his homeward journey, we trust
that a few additional letters will not be
deemed out of place, to complete and round
out his tour around the world.
Since his arrival the Hawaiian Board of
Missions has invited him to superintend Mission-work among the 15,000 Chinese residing in Honolulu and scattered over these
Islands. For years friends of the Chinese
have been looking for some one to undertake
this work and one who would learn their
language. There can be no possible doubt
respecting the need of laborers in this department, it is as true now as in the days
of our Saviour: "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are .few.
Pray ye
therefore the Lord of the harvest that he
will send forth laborers into his hurvest."

The Members of the Association will be
glad to show kindness to STRANGERS,
to introduce them to the fellowship of
Christian Churches, to appropriate Christian
work, and to Business Companions.
uC'The Employment Committee of theAssociation would feel obliged if Planters, Merchants or others desiring employees would
notify them of their needs, as there are frequently applications by worthy men for various positions, which it would be a mutual
benefit to assist.
The last regular monthly meeting was
held at the Lyceum on the 15th ult., and
was very well attended, and in view of the
amount of work to be reported, the proposed
monthly practical talk on ' Terrestrial Chonchology" by Mr. J. S. Emerson, was deferred. The various Committees made their
customary reports, and Chink Chack, the
Chinese Colportuer of the Association, made
a few remarks relative to his labors in different parts of this Island. The change of
time of Sunday meetings was settled upon,
for the present, for half-past three o'clock at
the Lyceum instead of a quarter to seven at
the vestry of Fort St. Church as heretofore.
Remarks were made by Kcv. J. A. Croztn
and others, upon the need of more aggressive work on the part of the Association
and the necessity of a building devoted
to the various departments of Y. M. C. A.
work, and in a central part of the city. With
but little discussion thereon a subscription
list was started with Mr. P. C. Jones' offer
of $500, if any or two others would subscribe a like amount, resulting in a short
space of time of securing $2,170. A Committee consisting of J. B. Aiherton, C. M.
Cooke and E. Dempsie, were appointed to
secure further subscriptions, and Dr. C. M.
Hyde, P. C, Jones and A. F. Judd were appointed a Committee to consider upon pans
of building and locality, and procuring a
charter. These Committees have met to
consider the most advisable method of action, and have met with much encouragement, the time seeming fully opportune for
immediately pushing the matter to its com-
reached nnil the methods employed.
We wish we had space to give more than
the bare outline of this excellent address,
which was listened to with great interest by
a packed audience. Toward its close, in
response to an appeil. a large number stood
up to testify their willingness to enter into
this grand work, and help make it the power
for good in this part of the Master's vineyard
which it was our privilege to do.
During the coming month Mr. Smith will
give one or two addres-es of n similar nature, which we feel confident will be looked
for with eager interest by a large number of
our people.
We are passing through a precious
season of revival work that has had no equal
in the annals of the foreign church on ihese
islands. And it is an evidence of the presence of the Holy Spirit's power to find that it
is extending among the natives .also. Nor
is the awakening confined to our metropolis
but seems to be extending to the other
pletion.
