It is a subject which we should have supposed some Englishman would have persued, even if it required a visit to Madrid and a thorough reading of the Journals of the Spanish Navigators of 16th century. No one doubts Cook's ability as Navigator and Explorer. He was preeminently the greatest Explorer of unknown seas, who flourished during the 18th century. For his fair fame, however, he most unfortunately allowed himself to be treated and worshipped as a god. We have thought that this must be the reason why among even his own countrymen here or in England, there never could be aroused sufficient enthusiasm to erect a suitable and becoming monument to his name, on the spot where he so unfortunately was killed. HISTORY OF TUB DISCOVERY OF THE sS_UU_, AND I'iiogress or tue Pboplb.—ln the old Spanish charts taken by Anson from the Manila galleon there is a group of islands called Los Majoa, the different members of which are termed La Mesa, La Desgrocioda, Los Monjes, ltocca Partida, La Nublada, &c.; and they are placed between lat. 18° and 22° N., and between long. 186° and 139° W.; but their existence in that position—at least as regards longtitude—was disproved by the subsequent voyages to the Pacific of LaPerouseiu 1786, ofPortlook and Dixon in 1786, and of Vancouver in 1793. Tbe Spanish word Aftta, however, signifies table, and is sufficiently indicative of the island of Hawaii, tbe mountains of which do not, like most volcanoes, rise into peaks, but are flat at tbe top, making what is called by mariners table-land ;'' while other points of coincidence—such as an island-group extending through four degrees of latitude and longitude, the position as regards latitude nearly correct, &c, —would seem to refer to what is now called the Hawaiian archipelago. The discrepancy as regards longitude (nearly twenty degrees) counts for little where dead-reckoning was tbe means employed to determine that element; as great an error was made by the Hon. E. I. Co.'s ship Derby in 1719 proceeding from the Cape of Good Hope to India, when tbe islands off the west coast of Sumatra were thought to be the Maldivhs. The positions given above are, according to various authorities, those in which tbe Spaniards plaosd the islands of Los Majos but from a note, p. second volume of Voyage dc La Perouse atsflj r d u Monde, redigc par M. L. A. Milet lisbed in Paris in 1797, it appears,—that Gaetano in 1542 sailed from Navidad on the west coast of Mexico (lat. 20° N.); he steered a due west course for 900 leagues, when he discovered a group of islands inhabited by savages nearly naked ; the islands were fringed with coral, and grew oocoanuts and other fruit ; there was neither nor silver ; he named them Isles del Rev ; the island 20 leagues more to tbe west he called Isle dc las Huertas. It is also stated that the Spanish editor of Gaetano's account placed tbe islands between 9° and 11° N, a clerical error for 19° and 21°.—Now Navidad is in lat 19° 10' N., long. 104° 40* VY.; 900 leagues in lat. 194° is 2864' diff. long, (or 47° 44'), which added to the •long, ot Navidad gives I(2° 24', or 24 degrees short the long, of the nearest point of Hawaii,—but 64 'egrets short of the long, of Oahu,—and the next island (Kauai) is 60 miles or 20 leagues distant. Thus, if the information conveyed in the note to La Perosse's Voyage is correct, it is more than probable that Gaetano did visit the Sandwich Islands ; but it is extraordinary, as Cook observes, that considering their favorable position, the Spanish galleons did not visit them.—JVcrfA Pacific Pilot, London, 1870.

These documents will satisfy you that thia long contested discovery took place in the year 1666. These notifications reached me at the same time as your letter. I am much gratified to comply with your desire on this subject, and I should be happy to have some other occasions to be agreeable to His Hawaiian Majesty,and to strengthen the ties of our good relations. May Ood keep you in his guard. Felipe dc la Corte. [Signed,] To His Excellency Ihe Minister of Foreign Affairs of His Hawaiian Majesty. . The author most explicit in regard to these surmises, is the said Fleurien, who, on the 422 dpage of the By taking from Captain Coo* first volume, says the barren honor of the first discovery of the Sand wich Islands, I do not endeavor to diminish the glory he has so justly merited :'' and he continues, on page 423: Lieutenant Roberts, who constructed tho chart of the third voyage of the English navigator, in which are traced his three voyages around the world and towards both poles, has preserved the Mesa group of the Chart of the Spanish Galleon, and has placed it with its centre 19° east ofOwhyhee, and in the parallel of the latter island. He doubtless thoughl that by preserving the group found by the Spaniards. none would dare dispute with the English the first discovery of the Sandwich Islands. But Arrowsmith, in his General Chart, of 1790, aad in his Planisphere of 1794, sacrificing his amour proprt to the evidence, only lays down one of the two groups. Since 1786, La Parouse, desirous of ascertaining if such island.) really existed to the eastward of Sandwich, passe over in the same parallel, 800 leagues from east Iv nest, and in the whole of this expanse be found neither group, island, nor any sign of land ; and did not doubt that the island of Owhyhee, with its arid mountain in the form of a table, was 'La Mesa' of the Spaniards;" and he adds, at page 126: "In the charts, at the foot of this Archipelago, might be written Sandwich Islands, surveyed in 1778, by Captain Cook, who named them, anciently discovered by the Spanish navigators.'" Perfectly in accord with this opinion, and strengthening it by an evident proof, is the log of the corvettes Descubierla and Atrtvida, on their voyage from Acapulco to Manill.i. which manuscript is preserved in this office, and apropos to this cose, states, at folio 26 : With a sea so heavy from N. W. and N., that while tbe rolling of the ship increased, and with it the irksome interruption of our internal duties, the speed decreased, with considerable delay to our voyage scarcely by noon of the 20th could we consider ourselves to be at 72, in tbe meridian of Owhyhee, about 66° longitude and 13° latitude ; nevertheless we had not, according to our calculation, an error of less thau 7" to the eastward, which, considering the long logline we made use of and that that error ought not necessarily to be the maximum to which it should be circumscribed on the voyage, strongly supported the suspicion that the Sandwich Islands of Captain Cook were Los Monges and Olla of the Spanish oharts, discovered by Jaun dc Gaytan in 1666, and situated about 10° to the eastwai d of the new position fixed upon by Uie English." We thus see that the presumptive or circumstantial evidence as to the true discoverer of the Sandwich Islands is indubitable ; having on its side the opinions of distinguished men, among whom figure countrymen of Cook himself, men whojprefer justice and reason to a vain national The last observation to be considered is the ifferenoe in the dates given to the first discovery. Foreign authors say that it took place in 1642, in the expedition commanded by General Rui Lopez dc Villalobo ; while the Spanish Chronicles denote 1665. The latter date should be the more correct one, for Juan Gaytan wrote the narrative of the voyage of 1642, and mentions nothing respecting thoseIslands, while he gives an account of Roca Tartida, (Split Rock), and Ambloda, (Cloudy Island), and of all those he discovered on that expedition. To complete and terminate, therefore, these investigations, there is only wanting the narrative of Gaytan corresponding to the voyage in whioh he made that discovery ; though in my opinion it is not required to make clear the truth of this fact. I have the honor to transmit this to Y. E. by Royal order, so that you may communicate the preceding information to the Government of the Sandwich Islands, and as being consequent to Y.

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

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

She was tbe wife of the American Contul, Judge Turrell. We can most vividly recall their arrival, for they came passengers on board the U.

M. C. A. industry and trade when the wages of labor all over the country have reached a point heretofore unthought of, there is presented fb us the extraordinary fact, that poverty and pauperism and crime are vastly on the increase. And it is acknowledged by the highest authorities that liquor is the cause of this unnatural state of things. Eren the government has taken the alarm and at the last session of Parliament took one step in the right direction by diminishing tho number of hours during which the public houses may be kept open. Sir Wilfred Lawson, in a debate in the House of Commons, denounced the licencing policy of the government in very strong terms, as calculated and intended to produce a large revenue from the degradation of the people. The government, he said, had given no indication of an intention of doing anything whatever to remove from the people the abounding temptations to drunkenness to which they arc exposed; and he quoted against the Ministers the well-known lines The Rum Question. One bright sunshiny morning it few months ago us the writer was riding over the grass-covered hills on a neighboring island, he overtook a man on horse-back, —a machinist, who was bound to the next plantation to make some repairs. In the course of the conversation which ensued the man, who was slightly corned himself, took occasion to remark that he did not believe in any one drinking to excess, but he liked to see a man able to take his glass without indulging intemperately. "Old fellow," thought we, "your principles are sound, but they don't quite coincide with your practice." It is just this weakness in humanity that " causes liquor to be a curse. Principle and practice are like two tubs floating down the river side by side. As long as they stick together the man who navigates them is all of Cowper i The excise is gathered with _crk_ rcsoll right. But when, as is generally the case, 44Of all this riot -, and ten thousand cask* dribbling out their base contents, Forever practice lags behind, the navigator finds it Touched by the Midas linger of the Stat'-, more and more difficult to stick to both tubs.

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

Navy Mr. Bridges, 5 00 200 Agreeable to the invitation contained in the proclamation of President Grant, divine services were held on Thursday morning, Nov. 27th, at 11 a. m., at Fort street Church, when the Rev. W. Frear delivered a most appropriate discourse from the words recorded in Ezekiel xvi:l4. "And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God." In the introduction, the Reverend Preacher very naturally spoke of the propriety of a national thanksgiving, and expressed the hope that the time might come when the Christian rulers of all lands would unite in proclaiming such an Annual Day. He furthermore expressed the thought that there would be a peculiar propriety in the King of these islanes,. issuing his proclamation for a Day of Annual Thanksgiving. We would here remark that for many years under the reign of Kamehameha 111., and the early part of the reign of Kamehameha IV., this was the practice, and we sincerely regret that the practice was ever discontinued. As the public will soon be favored with the reading of the discoure, we refrain from further comment, but we cannot but express our decided approbation of the sentiments advanced. There were several very apt and pointed allusions to passing events in this kingdom. 97 {<Dli Strits, Acknowledgements.—From an extra N. Y. Trilnme, 9m\ SO G. D.

There is a wide difference between being treated in a partioular way, and allowing yourself to be so treated. To October 'Jth, 1784. our own mind it is as clear as daylight that the great Navigator did not at the time comprehend the nature of the ceremonial to which he submitted, and much less had any desire to keep up a delusion. Unless other data can be produced, the journal of Captain King, who was present, seems to us to settle the question.

The words ' we have italicised contain tho strongest sentiment that an eye-witness ventures to put forward in regard to the extravagant homage paid to his com- mander. And yet those circumstances of reverence, which eye-witnesses were at a loss to explain, have furnished subsequent writers with tbe only basis of their accusation that Cook consciously allowed the natives to receive and worship him as a god." We copy the above paragraph from the November number of the Hawaiian Church Monthly Mettsenyer. The editor appears to have drawn an inference exactly the opposite from that deduced by almost every writer or historian, who has read the narrative of Capt. King as recorded in Cook's voyages. No writers have been so severe upon Cook's character and conduct as Englishmen. The following remarks of the Poet Cowper written when the narrative of Cook was first published in 1784, are fully endorsed by Manley Hopkins, Esq., in the last edition of his Hawaii," published in 1866. During this "interval of eighty years, this subject has been frequently discussed, and reviewed and we cannot recall one writer who has ventured to say with the editor of the Hawaiian Church Monthly Messenyer, that the fact is " not proven," that Capt. Cook allowed himself to be " adored " as Lono. We should suppose any candid person must be convinced of this fact, who will glance- at the scene sketched by the pencil of the artist who was present. That sketch was engraved for the original edition of Cook's voyages and has been re-engraved many times since. The native testimony we consider as most definite and explicit upon the point under consideation. In the republication of the following mfHh ' Last night 1 had a letter from Lord Dartmouth.

The latter faot appears more remarkable than the number of human beings whom curiosity drew to the shore. Cook landed, and conspicuous honors awaited him. Tbe King, Kalaniopuu, was still absent, engaged with his conquest in Maui ; but the tabu was broken, and Cook was treated with more than regal deference,—a demonstration ofrespect which would have been ludicrous had it not been painful. Heralds announced his approach, and opened a way for him through the crowds that thronged him. Those among the people who were more fearful, peeped at him from the houses, from behind stone walls, and from the tops of trees. As he moved, the assemblage covered their faces, and those nearest to him prostrated themselves on the earth in the deepest humility. As soon as Lono had passed, the people sprang up erect, and uncovered their faces ; and some among them not being rapid in their movements got troden down by the advancing crowd. The evolution of prostration and erection was found at last so inconvenient, and to require so unwonted an agility, that the practicalminded people found that they could beat meet the case by going permanently on their hands and feet ; and so, at lust, the procession changed a good deal in character and appearance, and 10,000 men and women, having little else on them than their nudity, were seen pursuing, or flying from, Captain Cook on all fours One feels ushamed at Ihe ovation ; ashamed at the degradation of one section of humanity bowin" down in such servile sort to their fellow men"; ashamed at one's own countryman in his triumph, and for his enduring the profane apotheosis which followed. He was led to the chief heiau, or temple, and was presented in great form to the idols was taken to the most sacred part of the enclosure, and then, being placed an a scaffold, ten men, bearing a large hog and some bundles ofred cloth, entered and prostrated themselves before him ; he was encircled in the cloth, and the hog was offered to him in sacficc, two priests the while chanting an antipbonal hymn in honor of Lono. By them he was led to the chief idol, which, following their example, he kissed. Indeed, in that mad hour, Cook's own degradation seems to have been equal to that of his ignorant worshippers. He wss supported by the chief priest and by Captain King, and placed between two wooden images ; then his face, hands, and arms were anointed with chewed cocoanut; he drank awa a drink prepared in a manner most disgusting to our notions —and finally he ate pork, whioh had been previously masticated for him by an old man. The natives assert that Cook went through all these heathen ceremonies without the slightest opposition." voyage, which he was so kind as to lend me, in St. James' Square. Tbe reading of those volumes afforded me much amusement and I hope some instruction. No observation however forced itself upon me with more violence than one, that I could not help making on the death of Captain Cook. God is a jealous God, and at Owyhee the poor man was content to be worshipped. From that moment, the remarkable interposition of Providence in his favor, was converted into an opposition that thwarted all his purposes. He left tbe scene of his deification, but was driven back to it by a most violent storm, in which he suffered more than in any that had preceeded it. When he departed he left his worshippers still infatuated with an idea of his godship, consequently well disposed to serve him. At his return he found them sullen, distrustful, and mysterious. A trilling theft was committed, which, by a blunder of his own in pursuing the thief after the property had been restored, was magnified to an affair of the lost impor-, tance. One of their favorite chiefs was killed by a blunder. Nothing, in short, but blunder and mistake attended him, till he fell breathless into the water, and then all was smooth again. The world indeed will not take notice, or see, that the dispensation bore evident marks of Divine displeasure ; but a mind I think in any degree spiritual oan not overlook them. We know from truth itself, that the death of Herod was for a similar offence. But Herod was in no sense a believer of God, nor had enjoyed half the opportunities with which our poor countryman had been favored. It may be urged perhaps that he was in jest, that be meant nothing but his own amusement, and that of his companions. I doubt it. He knows little of the heart, who does not know that even in a sensible man it is flattered by every species of exaltation. But be it so, that he was in sport—it was not humane, to say no worse of it, to sport with the ignorance of bis friends, to mock their simplicity, The following is the native testimony to humor and acquiesce in their blind credulity.

And speaking to brother he said that meditating much upon the Scriptures God had opened his eyes and his' chief delight was now in them. We have every reason to believe that he is entirely sincere in what he says. " Spain is in a condition of turmoil and change; in many respects the most favorable time for planting the good seed. Bilbao, the first city to the east of us, distant about fifty miles, is besieged by the Carlists, and to-day the papers tell us that the Carlist Junta intrusted with the political organization of the party have decided by a majority of six votes upou the re-establishment of the Inquisition! At the same time the Republican Government is promising entire separation of Church and State which would be a great and most decisive step for Spain. If the priests and bishops could no longer look to the government for their salaries the Roman Church would crumble rapidly.

The proceeds of the sale amounted to $381,- The prices obtained were extraordinaOne cow, known as Bth Duchess of Thomdale, sold for $40,600 ; another, 10th Duchess of Geneva, $35,000 ; another, Ist Duchess of Oneida, $30,600. All of these were bought by Englishmen for exportation. Nine others brought prices varying from ten thousand to twenty-seven thousand dollars, and many more from one thousand to ten thousand each. The cattle were Shorthorns, owned and bred by Hon. Samuel Campbell, a member of the New York senate. The Shorthorn, as is well known, was originally imported from England, but of late years several herds in America have had a reputation not inferior to that of any in the old country. It is said to be impossible in England to procure any throughbred Shorthorns, not because there are none in the country, but because the owners will not part with them. A cotemporary, which is good Authority on such matters, says there has not been a public sale of Shorthorns in England for twenty years and there is not likely to be any for a hundred years to come.

His remarks on lower Egypt, had that country been less generally known might have rank- ed with the most valuable of geographicnl records. They greatly heightened the opinion, which his employers already entertained of his singular qualifications for the task, which he had undertaken. Nor was his residence at Cairo altogether useless to the association. By visiting the slave markets, nnd by conversing with the Jelabs, or trava cling merchants of the caravans, he obtained withoutany expense a betteridea of the people of Africa, of «rts trade, of the position ol places, the nature of the country, and the manner of traveling, than he could by any other means have acquired ; and the communications on these subjects, which he transmitted to England, interesting and instructive as they were, afforded the society the most gratifying proofs of the ardent spirit of inquiry, the unwearied attention, the persevering research, and the laborious, indefatigable, anxious zeal, with which their author pursued the object of his mission. He had announced to his employers, that he had received letters ol earnest recommendation from the Aga ; that the day of his departure was appointed ; that his next despatch would be dated from Scnnaar; and the committee expected with impatience the result of his journey. But thnt journey was never to be performed. The vexation occasioned by repeated delays in the departure ol the caravan, brought on a billious complaint, which, being increased at first by incautious treatment, baffled the skill of tho most approved physicians of Cairo, and terminated his earthly existancc January 17, 1789. The society heard with deep concern the death of a man, whose high sense of honor, magnanimous contempt of danger and earnest zenl for the extension of knowledge had been so conspicuously displayed in their service ; whose ardor, tempered by calm deliberation, whose daring spirit, seconded by the most prudent caution and whose impatience of control, united with the power of supporting any fatigue, seemed to have qualified him above all other men for the very arduous task of traversing the widest and most flangeorous part of the continent of Africa. Despising the accidental distinctions o( the society, he seemed to regard no man superior : but his manners, though uiTpolished, were not disagreeable. His uncultivated geniuwas peculiar and capacious. The hardships, to which he submitted in the prosecution ot his enterprises nnd in the indulgence of his curiosity, are almost incredible. He was sometimes glad to receive food as in charity to u madman, for that character he had been obliged to assumo in order to avoid a heavier calamity. His judgment of the female character is very honorable to the sex. "1 have always remarked," said he, " that women in all countries are civil and obliging, tender and humane ; that they are ever inclined to be gay and cheerful, timorous and modest; that they do not hesitate, like men, to perform a generous action. Not haughty, not arrogant, not supercillious, they �full of courtesy, and fond of society; more liable in general to err than the man, but in general also more virtuous, and performing more good actions, than he. To a woman, whether civilized or savage, I never addressed myself in the language of decency and iriendship, without receiving a decent and Iriendly answer. With man it has often ticcn otherwise. In wandering over the barren plains of inhospitable Denmark, through honest Sweden and frozen Lapland, rude and churlish Finland, unprincipled Russia, and the wide spread regions of the wander-or ing Tartar; if hungry, dry, cold, wet, sick, the women have ever been friendly to me, and uniformly so. And to add to this virtue, so worthy the appellation of benevoVncc, their actions have been performed in "o free and kind a manner, that if I was dry, 1 drank the sweetest draught, and if hungry, I eat the coarsest morsel with a doubleWelith."—.

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

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

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

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

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

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

From my earliest infancy I have been a lover of flowers; and many of the happiest hours of my life have been spent in flowering rambles. And I think with you that a true lover of flowers cannot disbelieve in an all-powerful Creator, and that God's own works are the strougest proof of His existence. When exploring the dense forest for lumbering purposes, I have had good chances for beholding nature in all her lovliness and grandeur. And I think it impossible for any reflecting mind to traverse the wilds of nature, and not be inspired with devout feelings towards the Author of them all. And 1 believe it was one of God's designs, in thus beautifying the earth, to lead the minds of men through them to himself. " Then you do not agree with the author of ■' This world Is all a fleeting .how For man', illusion given.l* " No, most assuredly not; although a divine, I think his heart must have been a dreary waste, and devoid of all kindly instincts. Instead of tha-world being a fleeting show I believe it lo be very substantial, and radiant with glory. It is only diseased minds that behold no beauty in God's creations; everything was created for man's happiness and it is false perceptions of God and his designs in creation that brings woe and misery to our minds, causing us to fall into mischief and wrong actions which brings a corresponding condemnation." " " Indulging in wrong acts obscures the moral vision and places a barrier to that sweet and confidential communion which existed when reason controlled and governed action. And that barrier will continue to exist until we yield obedience to natural law. Obedience to which law places us in position to hold sweet communion with nature's Uod, who sheds copiously upon all obedient children the dews of heaven. There is a well spring of joy constantly flowing through their hearts which causes them "to He s. city set upon a hill whose light cannot be hid." There is a halo surrounding those who live obedient to natural law.

As darkness flees before light, so does ignorance vanish before knowledge. When a man or woman feels sympathy for his or her kind, charity for ignorance, mercy for sin, on that heart is plainly traced the writings of the Divine hand, and blessed is that life, its " peace flows like a river." Happiness is the earnest wish of us all, then why not start on the right road which leads to it ? Relieve the destitute, pour consolation into despairing hearts. There are various ways in which to bestow happiness upon others; and bestowing upon others is the surest way to bring happiness to ourselves. Money cannot make us happy, loving friends are powerless to create happiness for us. It is within ourselves the " jewel lies and fools are they who roam." Friends may add greatly to our enjoyment and minister greatly lo our happiness, yet the seeds of that happiness must be sown and take root in our souls, or the genial rays of friendship cannot cause them to expand and bring forth fruit. There are many opinions as regards the right road to happiness, but I belive the surest way to find the right track is to look upward and within ourselves for light. God's greatest gift to man is reason and when he prostrates that at the feet of another, and choses for his guide a human being, he may expect a guide prone to err, one fallible as all mortals are. We may lose confidence in mortals, but while the mountains stand and the oceans roll we must ever believe in a supreme Power, a grand Creator, whose voice through nature speaks plainly to our reason ; whose providing care and love call forth our deepest admiration, humblest veneration, profoundest love. All we see, hear, and feel, only tell us in unmistakable words that God is everywhere, and happy are those who understand natnre's language. Orphan Boy. Agassiz's Compliment to America.—We have often thought that Professor Agassiz complimented the United States in a manner peculiarly grand! When the Emperor of France, Napoleon 111. ivnited Agassiz to return to Europe and prosecute his Scientific Researches in Paris, Agassiz declined the honor, replying that he considered the New World a much better field for enterprise and labor than the Old World, this was true, as regarded hiajfl island. "As Mr. Buffett is not here at present, I write to thank you and the many kind friends at Honolulu, who are quite unknown to us personally, for sending us the things that we are most in need of. Mr. Buffett has left us for Norfolk Island, perhaps you may have heard of this before now. " It is sweet to think that though separated far from each other we have friends at Honolulu and elsewhere, who are interested in T>ur welfare, temporal and spiritual. You said in your letter that a few Sunday school books were forwarded, which are very acceptable. We have received the articles from H. B. M. S. Cameleon all safe, but as we are quite too busy to unpack them we cannot know what the different articles are, but as it is, we heartily thank you for your kindness in thus caring for our wants. "We have had a very long drought, so that we could plant uothing, indeed every thing seemed to be scorched up. But God in His great mercy has given us rain, for he takes care of those who trust in him. " Our young people have a Mutual Improvement Society on Wednesday evenings instituted on the 10th of June last, we hope and trust that the blessing of the God of Bethel will rest upon them. On Sunday evenings we have a singing school for sacred music which is quite a delightful recreation. Two of onr young men are gone with Mr" Buffett to Norfolk Island in the whale ship Sea Ranger, Capt. Allen ; we are expecting them back every day." Letter from a Sailor.—In our issue for October, we published a letter from a sailor who had passed through many vicistiudes on board United States vessels of war and merchant ships. At last he returned to England, but finding a shore life not quite to his mind he embarks for India via the Suez Canal. By the last mail we received a letter from the young man dated Scind Delhi Sc Pun" jaub Railway, Lahore, Northern India," where he is engaged as assistant engineer on the railroad, with a fair prospect of promotion.

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

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

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

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

The result �20 MARCH, THE FRIEND, was, a volume of one hundred and and fifty pages. In those early historical researches, we found our lines of investigation continually running back to old colonial times, and from thence to Old England, called by Hawthorne, the American's Old Home." It was a study of New England history, which made us feel so strong a desire to visit England, and when that privilege was granted us, we felt more and more, that England and America were linked by family bonds and kindred ties, which ought never to be sundered by the hoarse sounds of war or any other cause. While looking back with su<;h loving regard to New England and to Old England, our love for " Hawaii nei "is strong and abiding. Here we have found a pleasant home, and we feel strongly attached to the people of these islands, both aboriginal and foreign. The present troubles which have come upon the people and kingdom, only make us feel a strong desire that these clouds of adversity may soon pass away and the sun of prosperity may again •shine upon us. " I»7 4 Our Late King. The people's King has passed away. We do not wonder that they loved him. There were noble traits in his character, although blurred by foibles. He never failed to express his sympathy for the common people, and his will—an outline of which will be found in another column—is in beautiful harmony with his democratic principlesThen too, his marked affection for his mother and desire that his remains should finally repose near hers, in the old Mission Cemetery, will always be spoken of with admiration. May his successors profit by their reflections upon his eventful but short reign of only one year. Peace to his memory. Our sympathies go out towards his venerable and honored father, and long may his kindly presence be seen amongst us. .

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

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

Wherever little bag around the neck, will cure the the Japanese have come in contact with real ague ; a stone with a hole in it, supended at ' ' , 4)f the bed's head, wtll prevent nightmare. Many verses are known, which, if repeated aloud, are credited with curing cramp, burns and other bodily troubles. When you have whooping cough, apply for a remedy to the first person you meet riding on a piebald horse—a ceremony that Dr. Letsom, the physician, was fated more than once to become acquainted with. Amulets hung in a little bag around the neck, are very widely credited with the power of warding off diseases ; the list of such substances is an ample one, but need not be given here. The anodyne necklace, which was a profitable affair for one Dr. Turner, in the early part of the present century, consisted of beads made of bryony root; it was believed to assist in cutting" the teeth of infants around whose neck it was hung. One peculiar kind ofamulet is the phylactery, a bit of parchment on which a few sacred words have been written ; if worn on the person it is a safeguard against disease and calumny. The Jews in the East used to carry such an amulet written with a Hebrew verse from the Bible, and some of the Mohamedans with an Arabic sentence from the Koran. A horseshoe is a perennial favorite as a harbinger of success. Dr. James picked up a horseshoe on Westminister bridge, and put it in his pocket; the same evening he made a commercial arrangement concerning his famous fever powders, which he ever afterwards attributed to the horseshoe."— All the Year Round. Discoveries at Troy.—The reading pub- lic has recently been much startled by the explorations of Mr. Schliemann at Troy, in Turkey, or Asia Minor. He reports to have come upon the very ruins of the Palace of Priam, King of Troy. We were somewhat surprised to learn from a letter recently received from a Professor in a New England college, that Prof. Schliemann is an American citizen. We quote as follows : " Prof. Schliemann is an American citizen, having made his fortune in California, and having married a Greek wife, now lives in Athens, and has offered his treasures for a Museum to the Greek Government, if they will permit him to exhume Delphi and Olympia." Will of the Late King.-The late King left a will, which was made June 7, 1871. It leaves his personal property to his father absolutely; his real estate to his father for life, and failing heirs of his body, after the decease of his father, the real estate is devised to three trustees, to be appointed by the judges of the Supreme Court, who are to sell it, and of the avails the sum of $25,000 is to be expended in building an Infirmary for poor, aged and infirm people of" Hawaiian birth or extraction." A codicil was executed by His Maxesty on the 31st of January, 1874, by which he leaves to Queen Emma his Marine Residence at Waikiki, upon his father's decease. It also directs that the excess of the avails of his real estate, over the sum of 525.000 shall constitute a fund for the support of the benevolent object mentioned in tbe Will; and further, that his remains be entombed in the Kawaiahao Church Yard. The estate may amount to $100,000. Oaxette, Feb. 11. — �IHE FRIEND, MARCH, 23 1874. DILLINGKHA^M~& CO.

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

One book relates to men and their education, while the other relates to the horse and his training. Both writers are men of the very highest standing—the one an old Professor in Amherst College, and the other Pastor of Park street Church, Boston. Books written by such authors claim attention, whatever may be the topic upon which they may write. We shall first notice the volume by Prof. Tyler. During the past half century, Amherst College has become one of the leading colleges of the United States. It now numbers its graduates by thousands, and they occupy positions of influence in all parts of the country, while many have gone a?, missionaries, to foreign lands. Having been connected with this institution from 1832 to 1836,and knowing personally so many ofitsprofessorsandstudents, we feel prepared to express our opinion upon the merits of this book.

Of all animals taste to bring together two books—the one we regard the horse as the noblest and most relating to the education of men, and the useful. The civilized world does not fully other the management of horses. We know its obligation to this noble and acknowledge there is a strong prejudice against a minister useful animal.

We hare carefully read the whole speech, and endeavored to see if the harshness and uglinessof the utterance could not be modified. We are sorry to say that we have failed to do so.. Such assertions from such men. do a vast amount of injury. Prof. Smith was formerly a Professor at Oxford, England, and was invited to " Cornell " to lecture upon history. From his speech, we lenrn that he makes Catiada his place of residence, but visits " Cornell" to deliver his lectures. Now for a gentleman holding such a position to return to his native land and make such assertions respecting the land of his partial adoption, is in the very highest degree, uncalled for, because untrue. We shall be surprised if Americans do not highly resent such an imputation. He remarks, that he is puzzled to account for the feeling. We are more puzzled to account for the utterance of such an opinion by one occupying Prof. Smith's position. He complains that the hatred ismore intense in the Eastern States than inthe West. Does Prof. Smith mean to assert that the inhabitants of Boston, NewYork and Philadelphia hate England more than those of the valley of the Mississippi ?■ Away, with such criticism on Americans r the speaker is ignorant of the people he is traducing. The Americans no more hate England than do Englishmen hate America. The inhabitants of both countries may laughand joke about " John Bull and Brother " " Jonathan," but to assert that the inhabitants of the two nations live in hatred of each other is foolish and untrue ! We wonder ii Prof. Smith has not on some occasion been slighted and become thereby soured? Perhaps he may not have always received that attention from the literary men of America that he deserved. The Rev. Dr. Thompson, formerly of New York, and now of Berlin, remarks in his late Thanksgiving address, as published in Every Saturday, there exists in every chief city of ihe United States—"n. society to which wealth cannot purchase admission, and in which scholarly refinement puts a man upon the level with a king, if only the king is high enough to appreciate it.

For years pasf the whole population, from the-lowest to the highest, have been increasingly irritated by the enormities of the coolie traffic ; but the government has, until lately, felt itself too much preoccupied, if not too weak, to attempt to remedy abuses that recalled the horrors of the African slave trade. The chief seat of the traffic has been the Portuguese settlement at Macao, and the chief market for the unhappy coolies Havana, where they were depended on to indemnify the Spanish planters for the loss of slave labor. For some months, however, the Chinese authorities have thrown such difficulties in the way of the export of coolies that the traders have found themselves greatly embarrassed, and the Spanish Minister has complained of the proceeding as a breach of faith and a violation of the " Coolie-Convention "of 1866. As the Chinese base their action on reports of unfair and brutal treatment to which their people are subjected in Cuba, the Spanish Minister proposed that they should satisfy themselves by sending a joint commission of inqutry ; and they have fallen in with the idea so far as to dispatch a commission of their own, consisting of Chenlonpin, chief of the Educational Mission now in the United States, and Messrs. Macpherson and Huber, prominent members of the Customs service. Whoever desires to know the present status of the coolie question, together with harrowing details of its past history, will find the desired information in the July number of the Westminster Beview, in an article ascribed to Sir R. Alcock, late British Minister at Pekin. And when the correspondence of our own Minister, Mr. Low, is published, your readers will find therein not only energetic representation, to our government on the subject, but strong documents addressed to the Chinese authorities with a view to encouraging them in their opposition to a system of contract labor which has been so shamefully abused. If America and England stand together in their opposition to this new slave trade, it, like its predecessor, will soon be extinguished N. Y.

I was on board one of Her Majesty's ships as " able seaman." I am sorry to confess it—l was then addicted to drink; in fact, would be called an habitual drunkard. At the end of each voyage I spent two-thirds of my hard-earned money, neglecting my wife and children. On my return from the last voyage I ever took, [ gave myself up more than ever to my evil passion. 1 had been drinking with my the " Ship," a favorite rencompanions dezvous for the sailors and their associates. I cannot say at what time I returned home, not being in a condition to observe the time. When I awoke the next morning with a splitting headache and a burning thirst, 1 found that I had lost my watch and all my money. My conscience smote me for my unmanly and sinful conduct; but the demon had too firm a hold on me to give the struggle up so easy. So, without a word or look at my wife, I left the house, knowing at the time they had no means to find food, and that I had cruelly and foolishly squandered that which would have obtained them plenty. The loss of my watch, which my poor mother bequeathed to me in her last moments, begging me to keep it for her sake, and, above all, to abstain from intoxicating drinks, troubled me greatly. Her words seemed again to be ringing in my ear?. I wandered about the streets for some time in the vain hope of finding the watch. After inquiring at the public-house in which I had passed the previous evening, I resumed my wanderings, with no tidings of it. At last, wretched and tired, I gave up the search, and leaned against a post at the corner of a street, with my arms folded and my eyes bent upon the ground. I was mentally reviewing my past conduct, and forming resolutions to alter my course for the future—resolutions which I had, alas ! often formed and often broken—when a kind and genit»l voice interrupted my reverie with the following greeting : " Well, how do you do, Mr. J ? This is the first opportunity I have had of seeing you at •nee your return home." I raised my eyes, and recognized the benevolent face of a minister who had been accustomed to visit my poor wife and the children, and whom 1 had sometimes talked with. I could not but confide to him the loss of my watch and money. He had often endeavored to gain my consent to join the temperance cause, but so far without success. I had learnt before of his many acts of charity to my wife and family. I was indebted to him, and had for him a real respect. I was prepared to receive any counsels this time in my discomfit and grief. possible to regain your watch," " Ifheit were said, with a bland smile, " would you consent to give up your evil ways and become a member of our good cause ? " likely I shall find my watch," " It is not ; " but if by doing I could regain 1 replied it, I would never touch drink again for the remainder of my existence." " Then," said he, " you are henceforth a teetotaller," producing the very watch from his vest pocket. My surprise and joy were APKIL, 1874 unbounded. In spite of the people about, I could not restrain my tears of gratitude at the recovery of my mother's watch. The way in which the benevolent minister became possessed of it is easily explained. Like most temperate men, he was an early riser. Taking his morning walk, as usual, he passed the aforesaid " Ship," where he found the watch, but not the money. The latter perhaps my shipmates could account for. He recognized the watch at once, having seen it in my possession many times before. In the course of the morning he had been to the wretched hovel we then called our home, learned from my wife my neglect and their want, which he provided for, and then he started in search of the neglectful and drunken husband. We returned home, and related all to my injured wife. Kneeling all together, I responded to the minister's prayer; I begged her forgiveness for the past, promising amendment for the future. That was a great day of rejoicing to her. My benefactor became a constant visitor to our home; and when the good old man died, some years ago, few regretted him more than myself and family. I gave up the sea from the time of my reformation, and obtained employment in London through my wife's relatives. By perseverence and industry I have worked my way up ; and I shall always thank Divine providence, using my mother's watch and the good old minister, for lifting me from the mire of dissipation, and bringing me within reach of the saving sound of the gospel.— ZeOndon Sunday nt Ilonu . A Tame Wasp. Sir John Lubbock gives in a letter the following account of a wasp, which excited considerable interest in England, and whose death was recently announced in the news- papers : I took it, with its nest, in the Pyrenees in May of last year. The nest, which was beautifully regular, consisted of about twenty cells, the majority of which contained an egg ; but as yet no grubs had been hatched out, and of course my wasp was, as yet, alone in the world. I had no difficulty in inducing her to feed on my hand, but at first she was shy and nervous. She kept her sting in constant readiness, and once or twice in the train, when the officials came for tickets, and I was compelled to hurry her back in her bottle, she stung slightly,—l think, however, en- She would take no food. Next day I tried again to feed her, but the head seemed dead, though she could still move her legs, wings and abdomen. The following day I offered her food for the last time, but both head and throat were dead or paralyzed; she could but wag her tail, a last token, as I could almost fancy,, of gratitude and affection. As far as I could judge, her death was quite painless, and she now occupies a place in the British Museum. Expected Visitor.—Reports have reached Dr. Lang, a distinguished Presbyterian clergyman, for half a century Pastor of a church in Sydney, may be expected by the next Australian steamer. He has not only labored for the religious welfare of the Colony of New South Wales, but perhaps no individual has done more to introduce thrifty nnd excellent immigrants from the old country, but especially from Scotland. For this purpose he has more than once crossed oceans to carry out his scheme. He has frequently been a Representative in the Colonial Legislature. While busy as a preacher and philanthropist he has found leisure to write for the press. Forty years ago he published an interesting work on the "Origin and Migration of the Polynesian Nation," which was reviewed by the Rev. Mr. Armstrong, in the Hawaiian Spectator. Dr. Lang has also published several other books. His last is " The Coming Event," or remarks upon the future of the Australian Colonies. This is a book in which the author evinces a thorough knowledge of American history. We imagine he will enjoy a trip across the American Continent, en route to England. us, that the Rev. E. Bishop at Amherst College.—A son of the Rev. S. E. Bishop, of Lahainaluna, is now a Sophomore at Amherst College, Mass. We clip the following from a late number of the Amherst Student : " Mr. Jessop is arranging and remounting the Herbaria of the college. He is assisted by Bishop, who is undoubtedly the finest botanist in college." It is gratifying to learn that the Island " tirely from fright. boys " do not fall behind, but rather take the Gradually she became quite used to me, lead in American colleges. and when I took her on my hand, evidently expected to be fed.

Committee of the Y.M.C.A. What will Stop the Mischief? A decaying nation, confronted with an evil, snys "Make the hest of it, and get along as you can." A grow ing people on the contrary, has for its maxim, "Look up the cause and stop it." In so far as this last is done here, so far are we as a growing community, or nation if you please to say so. And inasmuch as the Hawaiians attempt to do this, therein appear their struggles for continued existence. In so fur as we do not put forth efforts to stop an evil, just so far are we viewing calmly the footsteps of decay. At the" death of a late beloved and lamented ruler, a lesson was displayed before us that he who runs might read ; a lesson in fact which need not here be put in words. It was a lesson which many indignant hearts responded to inwardly, though they spake not outwardly. And as we think further on the subject we are tempted to put it in words, viz. The damnableness of the liquor traffic. By liquor traffic we mean the whole concern; that indefinable but most mischievously powerful something which temperance reformers have in their homely language styled " King Alcohol." The women of America are only giving expression to this indignant feeling toward the power that invades and befouls and despoils that holiest and best of God's gifts to men ; the home. The home is their kingdom, and every truly gallant man, with aught of chivalry in his heart, will help rather than hinder their cause. We say, God bless them, and give them true wisdom. And to come to ourselves, we may say, that no decent man of energy can come in contact with the nastiness of rum without putting to himself the question " What is going to stop it ? " The fact is, probably no one force, no one kind of society, no one argument will be the one successful power. There is a narrowness about the scope of temperance societies, that despite their good object renders them somewhat tedious. When we say that we state a fact, noticed by many observing people; we are not uttering a prejudice. [N. B. We forewarn any one against quoting this sentence of ours as a heading to an editorial leader against temper- ance societies.] Now as to laws. They seem to us rather as a makeshift, wherein we lose almost as much as we gain. Will, or will not Hawaiians drink more liquor while they are forbidden to do so by law, than they would if the law were repealed? This always seems to be the question, when we undertake to debate the matter with the opponents of the present law. There is always, however, one very puzzling phase to this debate, viz : that it is invariably the man on the alcoholic side that maintains that natives will drink less if the tabu is removed; that the prohibition only makes tfiem more anxious 10 procure the forbidden stimulus. The chief objection to the law seems to be its sort-of-leading-stringcharactcr. Tahitians, Marquesans, Chinese, Mexican Indians may have all the liquor they please; Hawaiianborn whites too, but the native Hawaiian their comrade—no, you shan't pass the glass to him ! What practical man of common sense expects such a lnw to be strictly obeyed or enforced ? In defence however of socalled missionary fanatics, we will here note tho fact that it has leen the Hawaiian members of the Legislature that have refused time and again to repeal the statute, and the late Kamehamcha V., who was surely anything but a missionary man, was understood to be decidedly opposed to its repeal. Temperance moreover does not want patting on the head, patronization, such as children receive sometimes to their own rebellious disgust. It is sincere, hearty help that is wanted. Any one can say, of the Good Templars for instance, "Oh a very nice thing, does a great deal of good," and all that. We suspect that the sotto voce would Yes, nice thing for reread as follows formed drunkards, unfortunate people that cannot control their appetites. What a wonder that people cannot refrain from making beasts of themselves," &c. &c. That is we believe a common way of putting the thing, and it does not put any help in the way of Temperance either. Here is another of what Solomon would call "evils that I have seen under the sun." In the editorial columns of highly respectable papers, reflecters of public opinion," we find most pathetic appeals for the poor Hawaiian ; the evils of the universal ginbottle, the quarrels and murders and deaths caused thereby being painted in touching colors, and in all sincerity too, we believe; and yet in the most strikingly adjacent advertising column, we find this terrible article most temptingly set forth, displayed in the newest and handsomest type, and all for the especial promotion of the trade which has just been denounced as " infamous." No less than twelve separate advertisements of liquors appeared in a late number of a Honolulu paper that contained also a most powerful appeal to all lovers of the Hawaiian race to enlist in the cause of Temperance. It is the old, old story, Rum and Missionaries, all in the same ship. Keally now, are we fanatics because we point out this too apparent inconsistency ? Well, what do we \vaBt ? We want an intelligent, informed, resolute and consistent public opinion on the subject. We want a public opinion that will not flinch from the truth for such it is, that we as a community do not need the article, at least outside of the sphere of a drug-shop. That while some people see a most lamentable waste in the throwing away of molasses that might make good rum, the real waste of money, of power, of capital, of everything, is in the yearly importation of the amount of useless flavored alcohol that the Collector General's annual exhibit makes known to the public. Moreover, it may not be best to place the argument tor this matter on trre selfish basis. :" " We will not attempt to convince men that they as individuals are suffering from the use of alcoholic stimulants, but will compare our situation to that of the soldier in the field divesting himself of everything not necessary for vigorous life. Nowhere is it more evident that an economy of human force is necessary than on these thinly-peopled islands. Let there then be a chivalric self-denial of all that need not be imported here in order to make a prosperous and civ- ilized community. It would pay in the long run, for this community to actually support by subscription those who " must lice " by trading in spirituous liquors, and then hermetically seal up their quondam places of business. Now it is light, not blame, that we would fain dispense by this essay. We would put forth the idea, and let it fight its own way, against principles not men, except they espouse those principles which are false. Our own private opinion is that the Church is the only true Temperance power, but we have not here room to say more. Darwinism. We believe in Christian Darwinists, if not in Christian Darwinism. That is to say, a train may hold that races may develop, one from another, and yet there be a Divine Power back of all. But it was with pleasure that we listened to an essay the other evening at a meeting of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, prepared by Prof. W. D. Alexander, on the Intolerance of Materialism. The text thereof was the Popular Science Monthly, a publication, which, accepted in a purely scientific frame of mind is most useful and interesting, but which unfortunately takes pains to tread on the corns of our faith if, we may be pardoned the irreverent expression. Rather it undermines, unseen, the faith of all not forewarned. The especial point of the Professor's article was the manifest intolerance of the " chaps that run the above mention" liberal ed Magazine. It is an intolerance manifested toward the Christian religion as violent as that of the most bigoted denominationalist, Calvinist or Methodist. In striking contrast to this was held up in the essay to which we allude, the course of that prince of scientists, the reverent Agassiz. Now do not say that we lay a ban on the Popular Science Monthly. We recommend its Science, but politely request it at least to let Theology alone. The next meeting of the Association is to be the annual meeting. A full attendance is hereby bespoken. Some complaint has recently been made, that some one or some persons pocket the papers from the tables of the Reading Room. It is not often done however, and any one must see that it is a most manifest injustice. Ingratitude is always a kind of weakness. I have never seen that clever men have been ungrateful.—[Goethe. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

MAY I, 1814 Iceland, 874-1874. A thousand years ago, the sea-going vi-kings, or roving Iree-booters, issuing from the bays and harbors of Norway and Denmark, boldly steered their piratical crafts into the stormy Atlantic and discovered Iceland. In the year 874, while King Alfred was upon the Throne of England, a settlement was made by the bold and hardy Danes on the rude and bleak shores of that island. That settlement has prospered, under a variety of features, for a thousand years, and now in the year 1874, it is proposed to hold a grand Jubilee meeting in Iceland. The history of its inhabitants is richly worthy of study. In a foot note of Taine's history of English Literature, we find this singular remark, and if true, deserves to be remembered and reflected upon. "In Iceland, the country of the fiercest sea-kings, crimes are unknown, prisons have been turned to other uses, fines are the only punishment." Now is a good time for our young people to review their histories, andjg-read the Life of Alfred, and Turner's JM fcaxons, or any other books relating™ Hners and customs in Europe a thousanfryears ago.

"Ailow me to introduce to you, my highly esteemed friend, and one of the ablest and most excellent ministers of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in this Colony." Such was the esteem in which this gentleman was held in the Colony, that a purse of £506 was made up to meet his expenses, to and from England. This was done, not merely among his own people, but the community at large. During his brief sojourn of only one day, in Honolulu, he visited schools, churches, public buildings, and made himself acquainted with our city and its surroundings.

W. passage t By the friends of Sir Robert, it was claimed that to him this honor belonged, while Lady Franklin claimed it for those attached to the ill-fated expedition, commnnded by Sir John Franklin. In the Ocean Highn-ays or Geographical Review, published in London, for December, 1873, we find this subject fully discussed in a memoir of Sir Hubert. As both Lady Franklin and Sir Robert, arc remembered by some of our readers, we think they will not be uninterested in learning the '•omparative claims of the two claimants. During a period of three hundred years it remained an unsolved problem whether or not there was a water communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via Moreover, after four winters in the Arctic Regions, he and his brave followers actually performed the feat which so many other navigators had been unable to accomplish. He solved the problem of three centuries, and passed with tween the Atlantic and Pacific. his men from ocean to ocean. ' Capt. Kobert M'Clure,' says Osborn, ' came, indeed, too late to save Franklin ; but at least he thoroughly completed the search for him on one given line, by passing from ocean to ocean, and he secured to the Hoynl Navy and to Great Britain the imperishable renown of having successfully accomplished nn enterprise long attempted in vain.'

He does not hesitate to denominate any life of Shakespeare yet written as " a more fabulous story." R. W. Emerson says, in view of " Hamlet," and " Lear." " I cannot marry this fact to his verse. Other admirable men have led lives in some sort of keeping with their thought, but this man in wide contrast." S. Taylor Coleridge exclaims " What, are we to have miracles in sport ?

E. I. D Papuasia. This is the new name for the great island of Papua or New Guinea. In the Ocean Highways for December, we find various documents relating to the recent explorations of Papuasia or New Guinea. Among these documents a map delineating the cruise and land journey of the Italian expedition, to which was attached, d' Albertis, an Italian traveler, who spent some weeks recently in Honolulu, and became known to many of the foreign residents. It appears that this expedition explored along the western shores of Papuasia, nnd was under the direction of Dr. Meyer, a German, and Dr. Beccari, an Italian. The former has returned to Europe and writes from Vienna. An English exploring expedition under command of Capt. Moresby, on board H. B. M. S. Basilisk, made a running survey of the eastern coast of Papuasia, during the spring of 1573. The Missionaries of the London Missionary Society, have commenced a Mission Station on the S. W. coast of Papuasia. A narrative of the missionary voyage thither, conducted by Rev. A. W. Murray and Key. S. Macfarlane, has been published, and lies on our table. From all these sources we gather the information that this great island is gradually being brought within the range of civilizing and christian influences. It is sad to reflect that trading 35 The precipitous wooded mountains are to a considerable extent cleared and terraced to their very summits with taro and yam plantations, whilst the valleys produce cocoanut, sago, palm, bananas, sugar cane, guava, mammy apples, pumpkins, snd other valuable products. The natives were of a lighter copper color than those further west, slight limbed and active, with bright, intelligent featuies, and many would be good looking but for the disfigurement caused by the betel-nut. Their taste, in painting their bodies, is peculiar. At times they make themselves a sooty black with charcoal and oil. Others paint black spectacles round their eyes, blacken their noses and lime their cheeks and chins white, giving themselves a most grotesque appearance. They are fond of wearing bright flowers, plumes of feathers, and long streamers of the Pandanus fastened to their shoulders. The septum of the nose is perforated, and a polished bone thrust through it. The men do all the canoe work, leaving the field labor to the women. But the latter have their say, and make the men do as they please in mutters of barter. The men were frequently seen nursing little children with much affection. One striking evidence of the superior civilization of the light colored race over the black New Guinea men is the acquaintance of the former with the art of making pottery. " The intercourse of the Basilisk with these people was of a most satisfactory and pleasant nature. On all possible occasions Captain Moresby gave his ship's company leave to go on shore, and mix freely with the natives, and there was always perfect good feeling and confidence on both sides. They are as pleasant and genial a race of savages as could well be met. At the same time, they occasionally do a little cannibalism amongst themselves. Captain Moresby inclines to the opinion that the inhabitants of the large outlying islands stand in much the same relation to the New Guinea men, as the Danes and Norsemen of old did to the ancient Britons. While laying in Fortescue Strait, the Basilisk was visited by some large island canoes, and the New Guinea people immediately cleared out, and were seen no more until the strangers had de- vessels, commanded by the most desperate men, are prowling along the shores of that great island, ready to take advantage of the parted." inhabitants in trade, or kidnap them for laThe Curse of England.—The Archborers at Fiji or Queensland. bishop of York is very zealous in the effort It is announced in England, that a new now being made to form a Diocesan TemExploring Expedition is about to be fitted perance Society, in connection with the of England Diocesan Society.

Of her early life we have very little knowledge, except that she was an only child, and that when she devoted herself to the work of Foreign Missions, at the age of thirty-five, she was an orphan, and had very few relatives living. She embarked for these islands, Nov. 3d, 1827, in the second reinforcement of missionaries, which consisted of Key. E. W. Clark, Rev. J. S. Green, Rev. Lorrin Andrews, Rev. P. J. Gulick and their wives, and four single ladies, Miss Ward, Miss Stone, Miss Patton and Miss Ogden. Two only of these ladies still survive. Miss S. now the widow of Rev. Artemus Bishop and Miss P. the widow of Mr. Levi Chamberlain. The sending out of these four single ladies was thought then "simply an experiment," and a "very doubt■ ful " one too, but we may now consider tlicni (and Miss Ogden particularly) as the pioneers in the work now spreading over the whole missionary world, and which has attained such proportion as to employ numerousWomen's Boards in many denomination*. This company landed at Honolulu, March 30th, 1828. It is a. somewhat remarkable coincidence, that a social gathering of the survivors of this reinforcement, was held at the house of Mrs. Chamberlain, on the day after the 44th anniversary of their lauding ; and three days after this social interview, Miss Ogden was called Home. Miss Ogden's life has been one of preeminent usefulness. Humble, retiring in disposition, she has yet accomplished a vast amount of work in a most unobtrusive manner. Immediately on their arrival the four single ladies were assigned to homes in different missionary families, and Miss Ogden's first field of labor was in the family of Rev. P. J. Gulick at the station of Waimea, Kauai. She remained here a year, during which time she commenced the study of Hawaiian, and it is remembered she devoted much of her time to nursing sick Hawaiians. In 1829 she was stationed at Lahaina, in the family of Wm. Richards, and remained at this station several years, a helper in the missionary families and also teaching day and Sabbath schools. She mentions in her early letters " a hundred pupils " as calling for all the patience and endurance she could command. In the year 1838 she entered on the work of training Hawaiian girls in a farajly boarding school at Wailuku, Maui, in connection with Mr. £. Bailey as manager, and continued in this school for nearly 20 years, until the American Board decided best to disband the school, and give up the special ■ MAT, 1874. work of training girls. Miss O. has been heard to remark that " this was the bitterest trial of her missionary life." But she could not relinquish wholly her beloved work, and kept a small private school for girls in Wailuku, till called to Punahou in 1858 where she acted as manager of domestic affairs for a year or so, until the Makiki Boarding School for Hawaiian and half-white girls was started. With these later labors of her's nearly all are conversant. She continued in this school ten years, when on account of the opening of the Kawuiahao Seminary and her increasing age, she decided to withdraw from the sphere of education, anil has since lived a happy quiet life in the city of Honolulu, occupying her time ns tract distributor and hospital visitor, and relieving all the sick and afflicted in her immediate neighborhood. In the year 1853 she adopted two motherless daughters, the Misses Holden, whom she trained to womanhood with all a mother's love ami care, anil who now deeply mourn her loss. She had also two Hawaiian adopted daughters, the children of Rev. James cellor, and among the other familiar names were J. W. Austin and Mrs. Austin, Mrs. Peck, Capt. Sc Mrs. Brewer, Mr. and Mrs. Weston and others. Gerrit K. Smith is our last arrival, and we welcome him as we do all the island boys, for they all reflect credit on their native land. I saw both the Bonds a few weeks ago, and the Emersons and Frank Lyman I see frequently. With aloha, I am, truly yours, Wm. T. Brigham. and Naomi Kekcla, Missionaries to the Marquesas. Naomi was one of her early pupils in the Wailuku Seminary. By her own estimate, she had hail under her training in her various schools, a thousand Hawaiian girls! Some of our most valued Hawaiian matrons all over these islands were her pupils. Several of them are now the wives of Hawaiian Missionaries in Marquesas and Micronesia. Her end came suddenly. Apparently in good health, her last day was crotedt d with deeds of kindness. Walking in the mid-day sun to carry a last letter she had written to Mrs. Kekela at the Marquesas, then in the afternoon attending the Social at Fort Street Church, on her way home about sunset, she was stricken down with an appoplectic fit and was much injured in falling. Her last words were " Take me Home." She became unconscious almost immediately, and remained so for nearly 24 hours when she passed away without a struggle or groan. Edward P. HAWAIIAN CLUB.

Poor Comments.—The opium licenses for $20,100 and the inefficient efforts to put in force our existing laws for the suppression of intemperance, are poor comments upon the lamentations over the decrease of the native population and the professed paternal character of the Hawaiian Government. Report says the Hawaiian Treasury is depleted and money is wanted. No wonder. Money lenders are chary about lending money to the patrons of grog shops. Opium and rum are Hawaii's two great evils. We feel sadly disappointed, for we did hope the Legislature would have listened to the petitions of Hawaiians, Chinamen and foreigners, praying that the ruinous drug might be tabued. What is quite remarkable, out of a population of six hundred Chinamen, we are informed over five hundred have petitioned to have the Government refuse to license the sale of epium. We live in the confident expectation that the time will certainly come, and that before many years, when the sale of opium and rum will no more be licensed and sold as they now are, than other poisons now confined to the shop of the apothecary.

C. Damon, Editor oftlte Frie.no : A cruise" in the Morning Star ! " We are now " homeward bound." Would you not like a few notes " of that cruise ?" The Star left Ponape January 2d, sailing NNW to Pakin, a small atoll, some twenty miles distant, with a population of seventyfive to one hundred. This small island is a dependency of one of the Kings of Ponape the people the same as of that island and the language. We did not care so much to explore it, as to get a sight of its general contour. The Star passed close under its lee-shore, on the south side, and then headed away for N'gatik, or Raven, or the Seven Islands. N'gatik is the native name, and it is an atoll with some seven or eight islets on its reef. Its position is 5 ° 47' 30" N lat, and 157 ° 32' E long. The island was discovered in 1773 by a Spaniard, and then reand renamed by other explorers, one a new name. The name impressing i en Islands was probably given from the u islets on the reef. This atoll is some 22 miles in circumference, with no passage to the Lagoon, save a Morning Star, — # Sovered boat passage near an islet ou the eastern extremity of the reef—an islet without inhabitants. The natives of N'gatik are in size and language, Ponapeians. And so one might expect their complexion to be, only the " foreign blood " has so largely mingled with the native—the native color has been about bleached out. The island has long been the home of foreigners, and painful are the reports afloat of " violence and blood shed," of " sudden deaths in the Lagoons and over the reef;" but they need not be repeated—" Let the dead bury its dead." The population numbers from 75 to 100. Children are numerous, light and pretty; but with hearts dark as the pagan. We offered to take some to Ponape to be educated in our schools, but parents could hardly afford that, 'twas too far, and they had not mastered their distrust of tbe Missionary. He might be a " man-eater" rather than a " soul-teacher," for such are the reports often made about him. The island is fertile. The" bread-fruit, cocoanut, sugar cane, bananas and onions were seen growing. A singular piece of masonry may seem a sacred pile. The base was some 12 feet square and raised, some five solidly laid with rude steps for ascending. Then on this another square of less dimensions, some five feet square was laid, this again was crowned by a large square stone, while this was cap- JUNE, 18.4. ped with one standing erect with a crown piece of concave coral stone. This structure is sacred. Prayers and worship are here made to the island divinity, and the hill is free to any one to ascend and offer his devotions. We longed to see this piece of masonry exchanged for the Christian Church, and flanked by its ever faithful friend and co-worker, the school-house, and that will yet be. Putting the question, if a Missionary, would we be welcome? Some replied yes, and it was affecting to see some gathering about one of our Ponape teachers, and holding her hand as if to pin her to the spot at once. N'gatik shall yet be beautified by the touch of Jesus. Parting with a hymn and prayer, the Star filled away for the Mortlock group, lying nearly due west from N'gatik. Her approach here was in dead silence—not as in some cases canoes hastening off to trade. It was not till she was near the mouth of the passage a canoe was seen, tho' she had run some 10 or 12 miles along the leeward shore, and why this ? The Carl, pirate ship, kidnapping vessel, had been here a few years since and had stolen quite a number of natives. How our blood heated up as we remembered her black, infamous work. But the story is well known, I need not repeat it; yet J shall never forget tbe comical, yet serious way in which a chief narrated his treatment on a Fijian plantation. Flog, flog, me cry plenty much,"—he spoke "broken English. All hail to Her Majesty's Government for these kidnapped ones who have been returned to their homes. And yet while we shout this peati of praise to John Bull, what shall be said of the Emperor of Germany who suffered his flag to be unfurled to cover the coolie trade ? But little better than the Carl's kidnapping. True, the way of securing the victims is a little more humane, but the end the same, the plantation, the hard, pittiless plantation, with years of hard work, and in many cases a hopeless return to Fatherland. Is it possible that Germany which heads the van in the world's intellectual thought, is also to lead the coolie trade —a relic of the dark ages, a twin of American slavery ? It is reported that Sunativcs were taken from this island as coolies by a German vessel, to be returned in five years. How oi'teu were we asked by mothers and brothers, when will they come back? And how often did we see strings enclosing the house of some one taken away. They enclose because sacred to him. No one could inhabit it. With this state of things, we were not surprised at the reception of the Star. At first it was with such an ominous silence ; but as she ncars the mouth of the of the lagoon, a canoe is descried Eassage earing down, headed by a foreigner, a trader, be assuring his natives that there was no danger. We soon met them with a boat, exchanged salutations and they boarded the Star. The first contact with this people prepossesses one in their favor, so mild looking, so gentle, so far from rudeness, we often said, how kind, how woman-like they are, using this, not as a reproach, but a description of their general bearing. Surely these are not savages! The canoe of these islanders is in general style with the canoes of all the islanders of Micronesia. The ever present outrigger and timbers seized together by native twine. The dress of the islanders is simple. Their mills weave not very finely nor abundantly '. The men, as one part of their dress, wear the nuiro, a thick braid of cloth about their loins; they wear also the poncho, made from the bark of the hybiscus, two breadths sewed together. It extends nearly to the feet. The hair was done up in a topknot style, ornamented by native beads, hair pin and comb—this is a small piece of wood slitted into small fine teeth lengthwise, often carved and cock's feathers sewed to the handle. Tattooing is simple, the arms and from the shoulder to the elbow being thus ornamented, save occasionally with some a semi-circle band run across the breast. Children go in undress, the women wear the native tapa made from the bark of the hybiscus, plainly ornamented and dyed black for a back ground. The dwellings are simple. The dwelling house proper is simply the roof set on the ground,resting on its eaves. There is an excuse for a door ot each end through which one may crawl. It is dark and stifling. Close to this is the cook-house, black and filthy. Much of the cooking is done upon heated stones. It is with them yet the stone age; for nearly all implements of work, axes, knives and the adz, arc made from this or something kindred to it—the shell of fish and turtle. dwelling, or apparently in each Near community, is a building of larger dimensions than has been mentioned. It is a " hotel," a work-house," a shelter for large proas, a "play-ground for children, a campus for all meetings. It is not elegantly made, rather rude, but strong. Large masks were found at Satonn, an islet of the Mortlock group, some very large. They seemed to be used by executioners, that they might do their deed faithtfully and be unknown. Till: MORTLOCK GROUP. But now that we have spoken of the Mortlock group, described their people and their customs in general, it remains to speak of separate islands. Fhe group we have named is one discovered by Mortlock in 1793, commanding the Young Williani, and both names are given to the cluster, consisting of three atolls, separated by channels, from five to seven miles in width, their names being Satoan, Etal and Lukunor. The Star visited Satoan first, though while really bearing the name of the discoverer, but it is proposed to erase that and re-name the atoll from its most important islet, more so, because most fertile, most populous, and evidently the oldest land formation of the island, Satoan. This change of name is proposed, for there is no other island in all the group and sister atolls, but which bears as it should a native name. Satoan lies in 5C 27' N long and 153° 30' S long. Two passages offer access to the Lagoon, one on the south side and one on the north side. The depth of the Star's anchorage was nineteen fathoms. Some sixty islets crown the reef of this atoll. Some large, miles in length and sail wooded and fruitful; others mere pin henrls in size. It was frequently observed that �. THE FRIEND, ,r ~sl II neither the reefr proper nor land-formation had the breadth of some coral islands in Micronesia. The bread-fruit, cocoanut, pandanas and other plants and trees abound here. The wild pigeons and smaller birds were seen. The population may reach 1500. One islet, some four or more miles long, has a population of 600. The larlguage of this island and so of all its sister atolls, Etal, Lukunor, Namaluk, Losap, Nama, is one and possesses a large affinity for the dialect of Ponape. The numerals were strikingly alike to those of Ponape—so the words for house, animal, canoe, moon, members of the body, so many verbs with their suffixes. But all this likeness will not obviate the necessity of reducing the language and giving to it its own literature. In leaving Satoan it may be remarked, early navigators have represented the natives as treacherous, were not to be trusted, no matter how friendly they may appear." The Star can deny that charge. From the first day of her anchoring to the last, here and at Lukunor, not the first treacherous sign was seen ; nor indeed is it known that a single article was stolen. Yet natives were numerous on deck, going and coming ; visits were made ashore without fear. It is questionable if she ever anchored among a people so recently brought to the light of the civilized world and yet so mild as this people, and so far from the merely savage. Passing from Satoan, the Star sailed across the Lagoon, going out at the northern outlet. It is a Lagoon of much beauty and safety, because so largely free (tmn coral and patches. Bearing NNEin lat 153° 24' long is Etal, distant some seven miles, an island without a ship passage ; but its reef is crowned with a luxuriant growth of .vegetation on the islets. The Star did not touch here. It is spoken of as a beautiful atoll. The population may number some 600 or more. The people, language, customs, all are one with Satoan, with which a free communication is kept up by large proas. Passing by Etal, the Star ran NW some 25 miles to Namaluk, whose position is 5° -55' N lat 153c 13' E long. Approaching this island three large islets were seen crowning the reef, verdant and apparently thicklywooded. The more than usual height of the trees seemed to give to the atoll an unusual elevation, as if partly heaved up by volcanic force. Reaching this island at near sunset, there was no time for exploration ; but as the Star passed along to the lee shore groups of natives were seen sitting beneath tbe trees, watching the approach of the vessel, a sight to them no doubt strange, as not many ships touch here. This cautiousness of the people not to launch at once a. proa and come off," indicated fear. And so it was, for here were found those who had been kidnapped by the Carl and taken to a Fiji plantation. Perceiving their unwillingness to come to the Star her boat was sent them. Three friendly natives from Satoan accompanied, and going up to the group, told them who the strangers ■were, friendly Missionaries. A few threw aside all fear, came to us and shook hands, heard a message, bartered a little, and then with a friendly good-bye " were left. The eastern " " " 1874. JUNE, language, customs and tattooing, all were one with the Satoans. No ship passage. Merely one large enough for a boat wns seen. The population may reach from three to five hundred. The day closing, the Star filled away for Losap, NW, distant some sixty miles. Its position is 7 ° 3' 40" N lat and 152 ° 42' 20" E long. Nearing this atoll the natives were cautious as at Namaluk. Flogging on a Fiji plantation had no charms for them. It was observed that the island had the appearance of an unusual elevation as at the one just passed. This must arise from the large growth of trees and so compact. Nothing like volcanic forces working in ages past could be seen. As the Star neared the island, natives were seen walking on the beach. None came off. The boat was sent in, accompanied by the friendly natives of Satoan. A ship's passage was seen. There may be more on the west side. The boat passed into the Lagoon and ran up near half way of the Lagoon to the landing of a high chief. The companywere received with kindness. Young cocoanuts being brought as a peace offering. The high chief was very friendly and will gladly take a Missionary teacher. All the surroundings of the people, their language, dress, proas, ornaments, tattooing, dwellings, the children in undress, and the women with the native tapa, showed they were kith and kin with the islanders already visited. The population may reach 500. The island seemed fertile and capable of furnishing plenty of food. Northwest of Losap lies the atoll Nama, round, small, and without Lagoons; fertile, crowded with a forest of bread-fruit trees and cocoanuts—a tombstone in mid ocean of some buried mountain peak. The island is not put down in Findloy's Directory. It is some ten miles NW from Losap. As the Star neared this pin-head of an island, natives were seen grouped on the shore, waiting, apparently, her approach. The landing is evidently on the west or lee side, over the reef in a smooth surf. But time did not permit to send a boat. We learned from the natives with us that the populotion is small, some 150 or 200—if indeed amounting to that. The language and people are one with the islands south, at which we had touched. LUKI'NOR, OR GEM OF THE CORAL ISLANDS. The Star headed away from this people for Ruku, the higher mountain peaks of which were seen near sunset; but it was thought best not to sail on further, so she tacked about and headed for Lukunor, a sister island of Satoan ; whose position is in N lat 5 27' and E long 153 27. And here we find, if 1 mistake not, the gem ° ° of coral islands in Micronesia. The Lagoon, so comparatively free from coral patches, and the islets so fertile and so situated as to protect the anchoring ground, which has a fine bottom and close in to the shore if needed, and not deep, the contour of the atoll, the mildness of the people, all combined to make this a beautiful island. There is but one passage, though of easy access, on the south side. The island may be some eighteen miles in circumference. Four large islets, not contiguous nor very widely separated, crown the reef. On the main 43 islet two large taro patches were seen, evi- dently highly cultivated, and divided off into sections, marking the ownership of each. And it was observed how much there was of a rude kind of fencing on the main land as if each one's little farm must bedefinitely bounded—a little ludicrous we thought, as the whole islet would not satisfy a western farmer for his plantation. Wild pigeons are more or less numerous, and a small bird, with cheery note, was seen. The . houses and proas, the dress and ornaments of tho people, the maro and poncho of the men, with the simple skirt of the women, and the nakedness of the children, and their language, marked this people as one with the Satoanites ; and their proximity enables* them to have fiequent communication with each other. The population may be put down at 1500. The children are numerous, a hopeful sign for the future of the teacher located here. Leaving this island the Star touched at Satoan for a few last wordj with the teachers there, and then laid her course forNukuwor, or the Monteverde Island, located in N lat 3 ° 55' and E long 154 ° 56. This island was discovered by Monteverde, a Spaniard, in 1806. It is small, some twelve or fifteen miles around. It has a passage for small vessels. The reef was dotted with islets. some thirty crowning and adorning it. The natives are of Sainoan descent. Their splendid forms marked this as well as their language. It has but little affinity with the islands of the north. The population is small, numbering some 150. In times past it has been larger, but feticide, so very common, has lessened it sadly. The natives seemed cheerful and lively, going off to a vessel, at a rather venturesome distance, for barter. Idols carved from wood are common hero, a very large one being in their temple. This is probably the only people in all Micronesia who worship idols carved out. With all of them arc stones, trees, animals, birds nnd fish, dressed and made sacred, but without the carved imsge. This fact seems to point to a different origin, for this people, cither retaining the custom of their ances- tors at the south, or taking it from natives who may have drifted to them from the west. No opportunity was offered here to land, though the natives are friendly—a trader resides here. It is manifestly the iron age with this people, as iron hoop was eagerly taken in exchange for their small wares for sale. The Star could stay here but a short time, as the day was fast closing up. So telling the venturous ones to return home, as a light was burning for them on the shore, we parted, they for their coral reef and we for the more ambitious, high island, Ponape. It is a matter of devout thanks to our heavenly Father, that during all thiscruiseno accident befell the Star; no demonstration of treachery from the natives; not even a nail, it is known, was stolen. The teachers were welcomed and readily found homes among those people they sought to live with. So was the blessing of God with us, and so may His blessing rest on those just beginning their life-work, to lift up to a true life and Christian civilization the people we have just visited and among whom they toil.

She told ship-wrecked. the Savior, He knew how their hearts were w Duty to my government may seem to scorched and" scarred by this terrible curse, dictate the declining to receive tha offering and now they had come unitedly to Him," of your sTood people but a proper regard for etc. The singiog, meanwhile, from various ility * points, was most sweet; and the profound respect paid to these ladies was very touching. One gentleman told me, " there is no rowdy so rough that he would dare molest them, for all the best public sentiment is with them, and the best ladies in point of character and position are the leaders in the movement." At half-past four I went over to their prayer meetings, when these bands came in to report. After singing, One more day's work for Jesus," "One day's less life for me," prayer was offered. The reports were given so quietly, and they seemed so humble and full of the Master's spirit, it was very solemn. " The President then asked me to speak to them, which I did for five minutes. But I could hardly speak at all my heart was so full. The President, a noble looking woman of sixty, considered one of the first in the city for intellect, moral worth and Christian character, said to me: Mr. Gough, we believe we are engaged in" the Master's service. But oh! sir, the crucifixion of the flesh! You can hardly imagine the struggle we went through before we could go to places we had always shunned as so vile. But we mean now to continue this work if necessary as long as we live." A Dayton lady told me that a whisky seller asked her how long they were going to continue this work, and she told him : Ail our lives, and we will train our daugh"ters to work when we are gone." One lady said to me, " Mr. Gough, what could we do ? Our husbands, our dear boys, our brothers were being destroyed. We had no redrew, no law, no power to do anything but weep ; and we have carried our appeal to God, and we have faith to continue this work. And He has heard us. We know it by the blessing to our own souls as well as by the wonderful success that has attended our efforts." 1 do believe this work of prayer is to go on, and I believe the Holy Spirit will descend on this whole people. In all the places I visit there seems a subdued feeling of seriousness. They appear as if about some great work. The fact is, 1 rejoice in it with all my heart and am encouraged more than I ever have been. John B. Gough. Extraordinary Spiritual Power.—Rev. Dr. Merrick, late President of Ohio Wesleyan University, writes to the Christian Aevocate from Delaware, 0., under date of March 4: "We are in the midst of the most wonderful movement I have ever witnessed. Those not mingling in it can form but little conception of what it is. It is called a temperance movement, but its chief charactaristic is its profoundly religious spirit. Such penitence, such humility, such humble trust in God, such a sense of the Divine Presence, I have rarely, if ever, witnessed, even in the most powerful revivals of religion. Christians are drawn together far more closely than they were in the meetings of the Evangelical Alliance. Surely they unite their hearts in prayer and praise, as God strangely manifests His presence in their assemblies. All feel that God is in this work. I dare say but little. In such a Presence our words should be few. Ride on,, thou conquering King." �45 THE FRIEND, JUNE, IBT4. MARINE JOURNAL. PORT OF HONOLULU. S. I. ARRIVALS.

The following ia the chief mate's account of the voyage: "The schr Eugenic aailed from Tahiti July 12th, for the Gilbert group of islanda, with 126 natives on board which she was to return to theirhomes In (he Gilbert group. (They were natives that had been at work on the Tahiti coffee and cotton plantations.) On the sixteenth day out, in the evening she took fire in the cabin by the boy undertaking to fill a kerosene lamp while it was burning, filling it from a three-gallon can which waa fullof oil; the oil at once caught fire and in an Instant the cabin was in a flame. The captain put a blanket around himself and with another put out the fire. The boy was so badly burned that he only lived a few hours. Thecaptain was also badly burned, and lived only nine days. He was buried eff the Island of Tamana. Thechief mate then took charge and landed the natives, some on Tamana, Byron's, Pern, Clark's and Drummond's Islands. Aug 10th came to anchor off Drummond'a; that night the cable parted and drifted her off tosea. Next morning while standing in toward shore she run on the reef. The natives of the island at once boardedher and took charge, so that the crew could do nothing to save the veaael, consequently she went to pieces." Took first and second mates as far aa Apaiang, and then succeeded in getting them a chance to go to Samoa in a German brig. —Dec 17th spoke bk Barth Gasfaold, Willis, 90 bids oil.

He waa a vigorous and energetic man, and seemed to have lost none of his strength and activity. As a neighbor and friend,and as a devout member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church, he will be much missed. He was noted for his generosity and his modest liberality to those who were unfortunate—American paper. Jamaica Plain, April 10, 1874. Rev. S. C. Damon —My Dear Friend—l herewith send you an obituary notice of our friend, Capt. M. W. Green. My acquaintance witn him commenced in the year 1820, at Honolulu, when I was first otllcer of the brig Chinchilla,under command of Capt Thomas Meek, and he was second mate of the brig Griffon, which vessel he afterwards commanded, and which vessel was owned by Bryant & Sturges. I was at Honolulu In 1823, in the ship Paragon, and Captain Green left Boston in 1824, and 1 believe Mr. Peirce waa clerk of the brig Griffon, and his brother was Captain. There was something very singular (if not really very pleasant and enviable) In the circumstances of his death, believing as I do, that he was ready for the summons.

EDITOR’S TABLE. — > Letter from Tahiti. The Rev. J. L. Green, Missionary of the London Mission Society, thus writes under date of March 25th : "We have not much news stirring here just now. The New Guinea Mission is being put fairly under way by our Society. I suppose a Mission steam vessel is nearly on the spot from England, designed specially for that Mission. She was to leave London in January last, to pass through the Suez Canal and then under sail and steam to proceed direct to Cape York, at present the head-quarters of the Mission. By the end of the present year we shall have four or five European Missionaries in the field, and a large staff of native helpers. We lose one of our Missionaries from this Mission, who proceeds from Borabora en route for New Guinea, (Papua) per John Williams, next month. I hope to receive more particulars of the work there by our bark John Williams, which we expect, is now on her way from Sydney, direct to our islands; and whatever news I get I will forward a report of it to you by next chance, although I sec you have communication opened up again between your port and Australia. 1 hope it will be more permanent than the former attempt. Our new Bethel is progressing, and that satisfactorily. I hope its opening services will be held in July next. I ought to have said, iv referring to the steamer for the new Mission at Papua, that a lady friend of our Society in Scotland gave Jt.2000 towards the purchase thereof, and it was that munificent gift which ena. bled the Directors to realize their wishes in the establishment of the Mission. It is absolutely necessary to survey the coast to find out healthy localities, and it is also necessary to visit stations occupied very frequently as our teachers suffer from want of provisions, and are in danger of the cannibal's club. Two teachers and one female have already fallen, but the intelligence thereof has not daunted the courage of our native friends on Rarotonga, to which island the unfortunate teachers belonged. Rev. J. Chalmers writes to say he has many volunteers in the institution who are willing to go and take the place of their martyred brethren." Henri Rochefobt and Others. The arrival on Sunday of the three escaped communists created quite a sensation. They were Henri Rochefort, editorand ex-member of the French Government of National Defense in 1871, Paschal Grousset, editor and ex-minister of Foreign Affairs. These and three others, who were tried in Paris — and sentenced to confinement for life on the Island of New Caledonia, escaped from imprisonment and arrived in Sydney the latter part of March. They state that the Capt. of the British bark "P. C. E." engaged for a certain sum to take them on board. On the night designated, they left the fort where they were confined, passing several guards, and entered the water, swimming two miles to a boat in waiting, which conveyed them to the bark some ten miles distant. The wind dying away, the vessel was becalmed a day or two, during which time they were secreted in the hold.— (gazette, May 13. �JUNE, 1874. 47 THE FRIEND, dill.hstghia.jm: & go.

A. man, —we care not whether his complexion be white or brown,—becomes habituated to the use of stimulants, he is, in a large majority of cases, incapable of curing himself of the habit. As long as opportunities for indulgence continue, his disease grows upon him. Hence the necessity for the interference of the law. Another argument in favor of extending the law so as to embrace all classes in this Kingdom, is this : The class for whose benefit the law was enacted, seeing no good reason why they should be protected and Legislating for Temperance. There has existed for many years upon our statute book a law designed to procure, for a certain class of our population, immunity from the evils of intemperance. And what have been the results of this law? Have thoy been beneficent, or otherwise? Has the law tended to save life, or to destroy it ? Has it promoted competency, or penury ? Has it white brethren left to perish, quite natbeen a conserver of the public peace, or has their urally suspect that the law is a sort of standit fostered turmoil and crime ?

Well, the choice of belief is just this: Either there is nothing supernatural, no Personal God, or else there is a Personal God and a Providence, and a Moral Law; and if the latter of these two is the truth, then there is nothing childish nor absurd in the belief that there may be prosperity awarded to those who respect the " Moral Law. Another question for our consideration is with respect to the moral and religious influences that are to be potent on these islands. It is a general opinion that matters of this sort are generally declining; that there is not much religion anywhere among Hawaiians that amounts to anything; and that the experiment of intrusting the keeping of these matters with native pastors has proved a failure. The late defalcation of one of the most known pastors with funds collected for benevolent purposes goes far to support this idea. Yet the prompt action of the ecclesiastical Hawaiian body with which the above mentioned pastor was connected, goes far to show that even in such matters, the main portion of these pastors may yet be found reliable. Any way, it is too late to change the system. A matter of great importance is the sustaining of the Sunday Schools. These are becoming more amd more the only medium through which religious truth can be conveyed to Hawaiian children. The prospect at present is most certainly not encouraging in this respect, especially for Honolulu. The weak point is as regards teachers. It seems almost impossible to secure the services of faithful teachers in the Hawaiian Sabbath Schools. The older natives will get together and discuss the lesson for the morning, but to find those who will faithfully and ably take a class of boys in hand and so interest them as to encourage them to come again, seems to be growing more and more a difficulty. One very serious drawback is the limited sphere of progress in such things afforded by the Ha»jj»iian language and literature ; and yet a vigorous and active man might be the head and training power of an efficient corps of teachers. Here are serious matters for thought for those who really have the relig- ious good of the community at heart. Hawaiian boys will make first-class hoodlums yet, if strong influences do not prevent, and the girls will find their limits of religious aspiration satisfied by attending mass occasionally, and by joining in the public idolathere is tries of Corpus Christi. an earnest self-denying effort majfc, the religion and the social life of theSmxed corn* munity outside of Fort Street and Bethel Churches will be much the same as that of Spain, Cuba, or Mexico, and moreover reaction will enter within those chuxtkes. We have thus indicated some cfl|rie main objects to which Y. M. C. A. thought and and energy should be continually directed, not forgetting that the kind and gentle spirit of the Head of our Religion should actuate us. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

JULY 7 1874 The Annual Foreign Missionary Sermon, —Was preached on Sabbath evening at Fort Street Church, June 7th, by the Rev. H. H. Parker, from the text, Ist Cor. 1:22-24 verses: " For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom," &c. The discourse was admirably suited to the occasion, and the preacher pointed out in a clear and logical manner the nature of the gospel and its adaptation to man's necessities. A collection was contributed, nmounting to 533 60 Ordination Sekvices.—Mr. Horace J. Taylor, a licentiate of the Congregational Church, arrived in Honolulu on his way to the Gilbert Islands, as a missionary of the American Board. Upon consultation with the Hawaiian Board, it was deemed advisable that he should receive ordination before sailing for his distant field of labor. A council having been regularly convened on Friday, 3d of July, at Fort Street Church, he was duly examined and the necessary arrangements made for his ordination, which took place Sabbath evening at the same place, and in the following order : Introductory Exercises, by Rev. W; Frear ; Address on the Marquesas Mission, by the Rev. J. F. Pogue, in place of the sermon; Ordaining Prayer, by the Rev. S. C. Damon ; Charge, by the Rev. B. W.

We thought his own allusion to the event in his own paper was peculiarly happy and appropriate, and only our want of space prevents us from copying the same into our columns. We have not forgotten the generous manner our friends, eight years ago, contributed to a similar event in our own career. Our neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Whitney richly merited this demonstration. No one in our island community has more industriously and energetically served the public than Mr. Whitney. Early and late has he labored to publish the latest news from all parts of the world. Many a time has he endangered his life to board some passing vessel bound to China to obtain the latest paper, and on one occasion he was actually lost overboard and drawn under the vessel's keel. Such men merit well of their friends and the public, and if in the hurry of life we can turn aside and surprise them with a little demonstration of friendly and neighborly feeling, we ought to do it most cheerfully and gener- ously.

Mrs. Dole died on Sabbath morning, July sth, at the residence of Mr. George Dole, in Honolulu, where the Rev. Mr. Dole and wife were spending a few weeks. Previous to their leaving Koloa, Kauai, where they have resided for nearly twenty years, Mrs. Dole had suffered from a paralytic stroke, and by a similar attack she was removed from the scenes of earth after a sickness of a few days. She arrived at Honolulu in April, 1837, in the large re-enforcement which had been sent out from Boston. Her labors have been in Honolulu at Oahu College and Koloa, Kauai, but in whatever sphere she has been called to act she has always exhibited the traits of the true Christian woman and genuine missionary. Naturally endowed with a clear and well balanced mind, enriched by reading and discipline, she was prompt to give advice and counsel when needed. Her family, numerous friends, and many of the young, both among foreigners and natives, knew and appreciated her genuine worth. She was emphatically one who, in the language of Solomon, looked " well to the ways of her household," and many living and dead have been blessed by her care, thoughttulness and Christian nurture. She was a native of Greenwich, Ct., and was sixty-one years old on the 26th of last May.

Letter from Micronesia. Ponape, March 22, 1874. — Rev. Mr. Damon Dear Sir—Vfe have been saddened to-day, for we have stood by the portals of the narrow house of the dead. We were all pained a day or two since by hearing from Capt. Williams, of theFlorence from San Francisco, of the mysterious dispearance of his steward. Early in the morning of that day, he passed to the Captain his cup of coffee, and fifteen minutes afterwards was nowhere to be found. The vessel was searched fore and aft,—the man's hat and knife was found, and certain articles missing, with a piece of rope taken from a strange place—but no steward was found. The woods near by the vessel were searched, but all in vain. It was confidently believed he had drowned himself, especially as it was recalled to mind by some here, he had often indirectly threatened this. But there was no certainty of the deed being done, and Capt. W., sailed yesterday without being positive what had become of the man. This morning, as Capt. Hickmott, of the Joseph Maxwell, was standing on the quarter-deck, a dark body was seen raising feet first from the deep, and neared his vessel. It was the body of the steward. It was gathered up— a coffin made for it by the carpenter of the Maxwell,—and late this afternoon brought ashore and buried. Poor man, liquor maddening, crazing liquor led him to the sad deed. Crazed by it, and perhaps weary of its bondage, he had taken a large bag of shells, fastened them to his neck and leaped overboard—a fatal leap. And now he is buried on the shore of this lone isle; far away from home, friends and country. Edward Hill is given as his name, and England as his native land ; but no one knows of the parents, or birth-place, or relatives. He is reported as having once been steward on some English man-of-war. In his profession he was efficient. In this, Captain and Mrs. Williams loses a valuable man. O, the demon of drink ! Why will men dally with it ? When shall it be banished from the world ? When will our sailor boys learn to let it alone ? Its bondage is cruel. It biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Its touch is death. In this connexion, it may be worth while to report another fatal scene aboard of the Florence. As she passed Pleasant Island a few weeks since, a native stowed himself away on board,—a few days after he made his appearance, and for some days he had full liberty of the deck. It was noticed he seemed to be a little deranged. He seemed to be suspicious that some one wanted to kill him. Lying between two sailors, sleeping on the forecastle, he took from the sheath of 1874. one of them a knife, and stabbed him in the abdomen, fatally. The native then sprang below, and in passing another sailor, stabbed him in three different places, one in the abdomen,—who ran on deck and fell dead. The savage then secured two knives and a large spear, and took refuge in a bunk, threatening with death any one who should approach him. It was impossible to get him from his place till his life was taken. The name of the one person killed was E. Thois, a German boy. The name of the other was John A. Cooper, of Placerville, California, a young man. The death of these two sailor boys, with that of the savage, or crazed native, cast a gloom over the vessel. And how much it was deepened by the suicide of the steward! And to us all how do these lessons speak—to prepare for death. The youth sleeping on the deck, little thought when he laid down to rest, how near the end of life was here ; and the other youth, reading on the hatch-way, little knew his hour had come. O that all would prepare for death, by a humble trust in Jesus, and love to him; then when death comes, all the future would be one of joy. What is that future to those who regret a Saviour's love ? Let me give you the report, just in from the Europa, Capt. McKenzie. A few days since a terrible gale swept ashore the Lenora, Capt. Hayes, on Strong's Island, making a complete wreck of her. Further particulars we do not get of this wreck,—whether any lives were lost or not—it is presumed there were none. To-morrow morning the Joseph Maxwell leaves us, and we are feeling that she is about the last messenger bird we shall have along. The horizon seems to be shutting down about us—shutting out the world, and shutting us up to our work on Ponape. But that shutting in is not like the curtains of night, nor like the iron doors of a prison. We are shut in and up to our blessed work, and Jesus we trust is in our midst, or with us. Where he is there can be no night, no gloom, no prison, but all is fear and joy. We can report nothing very special with us. But we are happy to hear the work of the poor creatures is going on splendidly, gloriously, on little Pinalap. Kind regards to dear friends. Yours fraternally, E. T. DOANE. Freaks of Sailors. It is quite surprising what strange freaks young men will sometimes pursue. Some years ago, we remember to have met a young Englishman attached to an American whaleship, who remarked to us, " I am the fallen son of a noble sire." Another young Englishman, who became implicated in the sailors' riot in Honolulu in 1852,and who was sentenced to a year's imprisonment in the old fort at the foot of Fort street, wrote to his friends that he was to the fort in Honolulu," as he "wassurgeon called upon to exercise his medical knowledge among the prisoners. Some years ago a young physician from a gbod family in Pennsylvania, and a dc- scendant of good President Dwight of Vale College, found himself a sailor dh board an American whaler in Honolulu. He was anxious to leave the ship, but on no consid- eration would the master discharge him. He disappeared, and the master offered 8150 for his arrest. No trace could be found of the young man, and the ship sailed. In a few days he appeared in the street, and as he was well known to the Chaplain, the question was asked, "Where have you been concealed ? " To our astonishment he replied, " In the garret of your Bethel, and 1 have heard you preach two Sabbaths! He also informed us that he was wont during the day to survey the town and harbor from the belfry. We shall not soon forget a sailor from Canada, the son of an Episcopal clergyman, who left home, but under a feigned name. His mother, distracted with sorrow, wrote us to ascertain the whereabouts of her sailor boy. After much enquiry we finally succeeded in decoying the young man into our sanctum. After we had learned certain facts from his own confession, we revealed to him his true name, and handed to him his mother's letter! His astonishment may be well imagined. He subsequently returned home, but not until visiting the mines of California to make his pile ! " Letter from the Rev. P. J. Gulick. It will be remembered by our readers that this venerable missionary left Honolulu with his family—en route for Japan—passengers on the I). C. Murray, early in May. Let it be noticed that Mr. Gulick had not previously visited California or America since his arrival at the Islands in 1828. We copy as follows from his letter: " San Francisco, May 29. "Our voyage throughout was very pleasant. We reached here on the 16th inst., and were immediately invited to make our home at Mr. Benchley's, (a deacon of Dr. Stone's church), whose kindness and hospitality to us has been unbounded. " The first appearance of this city, was to me, rather unpleasant; but traveling about in it, and viewing it from the elevated residence of our kind host, has quite changed my opinion.

At long intervals in the history of a nation or a race the laws of action, of advance or retrogression, are broken in upon by some powerful burst of popular and vigorous sentiment. These inspirations nre not to be judged by any limited standard which fails to comprehend the full sweep of their spirit, or which is the outgrowth of a momentary or superficial glance. We should regard them most reverently, bringing up from the past the countless reasons for their birth, leaving to an impartial future its own verdict. We believe that the Woman's Crusade of America, as it is popularly termed, will take its place in history as one of the grand, pure movements of humanity, as one of the epic events of this century. Thank God that the enthusiasm of the race has not died out; that it is possible for men, better still that it is possible for women in times of great national emergency to link their names with some heroic enterprise. The grand conflicts of all time, for which brave men and women have been willing to offer what was best and dearest to them, have had for their foundation the revolutionary spirit in its best and broadest sense. The giant and false images of sin and error before which the world has prostrated itself, have been hurled down and shattered by the prayers and tears and resolute actions of those who have risen against them in one sublime concert of effort. We have grown almost out of a knowledge of the resources of glorious reform which are left to us. Have we indeed ever fully known them ? Are we willing to accept them ? The utter materiality of the age is hurting us all. We are afraid of doing anything to retard what seem fixed and inevitable laws, even if they are those of moral decay. No, no, there is a better way for us. We may all of us be enthusiasts, be reformers in a most holy cause. No darker image has ever shadowed God's fair earth than that of intemperance and (notwithstanding the fact that much effort has been made to destroy it) it still fearfully defies all principles of right and justice. The uprising of the women of Ohio is no feeble display of sentiment, no vulgar desire for applause. It is the brave protest of womanly hearts, cruelly wronged, yet full of generous, holy emotion and the hand of God has been in it. The out cries which come from this side and that in reference to this unusual and hence presumed unwomanly warfare are as idle as the idle wind. One feels almost a contempt for that belittled spirit which seems incapable of grasping the real issues at stake and flings at one of the sweetest, most righteous efforts of our time JULY, 1874. Report of the Examining. Honolulu, June 2*tb, 1874. To the Trustees of Oaku College: (Jentlemen—The undersigned having been appointed by your honorable body to attend the annual examination of tbe institution under your care do report as follows: The general appearance of the school betokens prosperity. There is a sufficient attendance of scholars to give life to tbe daily routine, to excite emulation in the different classes, and to stimulate the teachers to do their best. The material, too, seems to be good. There is therefore nothing in this line to cause discouragement, but, on the contrary, much to sustain hopes for tbe future. The teachers appear as a body, and individually, to advantage. They arc evidently interested in their work, and no better proof of this need be cited than the spirit of earnestness that seems to characterize tbe scholars. This last is perhaps a matter of as much importance as that of especial proficiency in individual branches of study, underlying as it does, all real success and true usefulness. Of course this eamc earnestnese indicates good discipline. The examinations were very well carried on, and appeared to be on the whole, fair tests of ability, as much so probably as verbal examinations can be. The common failing in the recitations, however was noticed of poor enunciation. Where there was reading however either from written slips, or from books as in translating this was not so apparent as it was in the answers to questions. A prompt, energetic style of speaking, should always be required of every scholar, whether it is necessary to the teacher's hearing or not. Scholars too, should be taught to rise promptly at the calling of tho name, to look tbe teacher full in the face, at least for tho greater part of the time when reciting ; also to feel that due respect is to be paid to themselves personally, and thus a habit of confidence and self-respect be induced. These are matters of primary importance in every school. Training even as to the proper amount of motion required from the organs of speech especially of the lips, is someis to be long, but the end is sure.

It was time for something more than dry statistics, something more than formal and largely stereotyped temperance operations. The country, especially since the war had lain heavily burdened beneath a useless, self-imposed cause. Where was the way out ? The shadows seemed to be gathering more darkly about the life of thousands. It is our belief that the women of America gave the only possible answer in their prayers and simple earnest endeavors. Have we not thought it most heroic, has not the world been jubilant with praise when some girl has taken her place at the oar and shot out through blinding mist and spray, over wild waves to bring hope and life to those fast sinking ? Shall we not send the best sympathy of our hearts when we see scores of women hastening to the rescue of those engulphed in the bottomless ocean of sin ? Verily these are the most Christ-like Crusaders the world has ever known. The success of the temperance reform in America, is to be attributed to the fact that no power but Divine has been sought in its progress. In the Divine rule at certain periods there seem to come grand out-breathings of heavenly inspiration, before which nothing may stand. They are heralds of the better time, preparing the way for the coming of the perfect day. It is now the time of Pentecost. We read ofthose fearful whirlwinds which sweep over certain seas, that while on every side there is the wild tumult of struggle and battle, yet at the centre on their onward march, there is a fatal calm, the very hlankness of hope and life. If we look at all out into the world we see signs every where, promising long and severe contest, between wrong and right.

It is a noteworthy fact, that while the Legislature is hastily passing an Act authorizing the distillation of rum on the sugar plantations, the only planter in the Legislature voted three times against the passage of the Act! This fact is a good and satisfactory answer to a long and full editorial column in the last issue of the Advertism: It is not in the power of any writer to make rum-making, rum-selling or rum-drinking harmonize with the well-being of sound political economy, good morals or Christianity. Manufacture of Rum.—We learn that a bill authorizing the distillation of rum on the sugar plantations, has already passed to a third reading before the Hawaiian Legislative Assembly. We do hope His Majesty will exercise his veto power and effectually arrest the passage of so injurious a law. Let the King follow President Grant's example, when Congress passed the bill for inflating the currency. The American people almost unanimously approved the President's veto, and so we honestly believe a large majority of Hawaiians and foreigners would approve the King's veto, if exercised.

If it were not impro- the pledge—is finally signed and the business per, I could connect with the names of the closed up. The men are indirectly in many ways engaged in the business. They hold prayer-meetings in the churches, while the women pray in the saloons or in the streets; they stand pledged to defend from any insult or bodily harm; they subscribe money for legal defense, if the women are arraigned. Already some three or four hundred saloons have been closed up, and as many more are actively beseiged and will have to yield. If the snow and slush and the severe cold of the past two months have been no impediment to the prosecution of the work, surely the pleasanter days of opening spring will offer nothing in the weather to retard the work. Success is assured so far as stopping the business as conducted openly is concerned. But what will be the permanent influence on liquor-selling is a matter about which diverse opinions are held. Some say, with apparent reason, that the sentiment of opposition to the business will have more decided influence in our communities. Only a generation ago drinking was no bar to church fellowship and the liquor dealer was a respectable individual. It was a decided advance to say to the inebriate and to the tippler, you cannot be in good standing in the church, and for the saloon keeper to be considered as having no respectable standing. Now it is proposed to tolerate no longer the open temptation to the vice of dram-drinking. If liquor is sold and drunk, it shall be in no public place or way ; it shall not flaunt its banners in the faces of an outraged people ; it shall not tempt with gilded halls the youth who has not formed the habit of tippling, or the man given to the vice by habit and who might reform. The war on the drug-stores has revealed the source of much respectable drinking, and has been extremely unrelenting and generally successful. Physicians are rebuked for countenancing the habit and druggists are pledged to sell no more. It seems some of the druggists have done a large business in supplying a certain class of tipplers, and they have fought hard to keep the trade. Drug-stores have multiplied and grace nearly every corner, and the unsuspecting wondered that so many found business to do. This is a new revelation and our people were not prepared for, and the amount of their traffic in long-necked bottles is found to be a principal source of revenue. The movement is a surprise in the way it spreads. It now reaches to more than a dozen counties in our state and has sprung up in Indiana. We have only seen perhaps the beginning of it. Women go in delegations from conquering to new conquests with flame in hand, and so pass on the " heat" which Dio Lewis says is required.- To a conquering host achievements give courage and assure success. The arm of the law has not been invoked as a principal agent. But doubtless our laws have lent important aid in the movement. As a general thing, neither side have made appeals to law. It did not become saloon keepers to appeal to that law they daily violated to protect them simply from annoyance of prayers and singing. But, when it comes to law, the temperance people have the advantage. If this movement does nothing else than secure the enforcement of the laws we have, it will be a great success. — N. Y.

He was a member of this Board from its organization, *nd for several years its Vice President. In the year 1842, at the earnest request of Kaiiiehameha III. and his chiefs, he left his more appropriate missionary work to engage in the then difficult and intricate affairs of government. He died at his home in Honolulu, July 12th, 187J. His end was peace. For many months he had been laid aside from active labor by sickness. He desired to depart, for his work was done. Mrs. Charlotte F. Baldwin died at Punafaou, Honolulu, October 2d, 1S73. For three years previous to her death she had been a patient sufferer from painful sickness. She too has gone to her bright reward, to be forever with her Lord, where she ever desired to go when her time for work was done, and when she could no longer be useful to her family and friends. Great was her love for the Hawaiian nation even to the end of her life. Kev. S. W. Nueku died at Honolulu September 18th, 1873, where he came for medical advice. He was a member of the Hawaiian Board, and was with us in the enjoyment of good health at our last annual meeting. He had been for some years pastor of the church at Halawa on the island of Molokai. He was a truly devoted pastor of the church, and much esteemed by the people among whom he labored. Rev. J. W. Kaiwi died at Waimea, Island of Kauai. He was one of the first missionaries of the Hawaiian churches to the Marquesas Islands, where he labored well for eighteen years. They who have visited those islands as delegates to the mission can bear testimony to the high esteem in which he was held by his associates in the mission —to his humble unassuming Christian character, and to his good influence and faithful labors among the Marquesans. Failing health caused his return to these islands two years since. Miss Maria Ogden was one of the second reinforcement sent to these islands in 1827. Forty-six years she labored with untiring devotion and with much success, chiefly in educating and training Hawaiian females for usefulness. Many not only in the Hawaiian Islands but in the islands beyond, are reaping the fruits of her labors of love. Miss Ogden died suddenly April 3d, at the advanced age of 82 years. HOME DEPARTMENT.

In many places, there has been a defiant, open avowal by prominent men, and even in native newspapers, of heathen views on moral questions. We hope and believe, however, that by the merciful help of God, these evils will be abated. They might be much worse, and are liable to become so, unless God working through his people by his Spirit, interposes to save this dying nation by reformation, from the speedy fate of impure and disor- derly living.

But it is with sorrow that we miss from our sessions more than one Hawaiian pastor whose faces and voices have been familiar to us here, and whom we have loved and trusted ; they have weakly yielded to the allurements of sin, and brought dishonor on the name of the Saviour.

The disease of Leprosy, whose spread at the time of our last meeting had assumed an alarming aspect, has now ceased to be a cause of alarm, although still of anxiety. The wise and vigorous action of the government has been successful in isolating the lepers, 700 of whom are now cared for in the Asylum on Molokai. They arc, though isolated from us for the salvation of the rest, still our beloved neighbors, friends, pupils, brethren and sisters in the Lord.

A history of tbe so-called war between some ol Hapuku s pupils and a chief of that valley, has been laid before tbe Hawaiian Board. His bouse was invaded. Bullets from tbe guns of the enemy penetrated tbe walls of the house, entering tbe rooms over the beads of those within and passed out at tbe opposite side of the building and lodging in a cocoanut tree beyond. The roof of theChurch was removed, lest tbe enemy should set fire to it, and thus destroy tbe whole _ousc, together with the tenement of tbe Missionary. We are happy to report that tbe French Resident, or Governor, bad no complaint to make against our Missionary in regard to this so-called war. The Missionary appears to have acted with prudence, and only on the defensive. We left Atuona about 5 o'clock A. M. of May 29ib, and arrived at Puamau, Hivaoa, on tbe 30th of the same month. There is a very large population at this place. We saw more people here than at any other place where we visited. The house of Kekela was thronged with men, women and children all the time we were there. Arrangements bad been made before we arrived at the Marquesas to have the General Meeting at Puamau. Oo Monday morning, June Ist, this Meeting was commenced. On the Sabbath previous a meeting was held in the bouse of Kekela, M the building formerly occupied as a Chapel was not in a fit condition to bold service in. Tbe : state. Causes 1. The removal of many of the people to other Islands. 2. The death of their Missionary. 3. The unhappy occurrence which took place there some years since. I refer to a number of tbe people having been brought to the Hawaiian Islands, where many of them died. The people have not, and probably never will forget that painful circumstance. They now call the Hawaiian Missionaries, He poe pepehi kanaka. The Church here is demoralized. So also is the Church at Honomcnu, and the Church at Uabuna is in the same category. That Island, where we once bad a large Church bas not been visited by a Missionary for twfO years and more. The members of the Chnrch'are said to be scattered all over tbe other Islands, but no one knows the place of their abode. On this Island there is a field for a good Missionary. The place is well adapted for a Boys Boarding School. There is no Priest on tbe Island, and it is an open field that may be worked with much hope of success. After finishing our work at Omoa we turned our faces towards home. Stopped at Ationa to land Kekela and Hapuku ; at Uapou to land Kauwealoha, and take on board freight; and at Kaiohae, the Metropolis, to pay our respects to the Resident. We did not have the pleasure ol meeting His Excellency, as he bad not returned from Tahiti. Wo were informed by the acting resident that ho had no complaints to make against our Missionaries, and he assured me that they should have equal protection with the Romish Priests. Wo left Uapou on the 9th of June. Five days after crossed tho Lino. Arrived at Honolulu on Friday, June 26th. We have anchored eight times. Were absent 80 days. Sailed 6ome 7000 or 8000 miles. During the whole voyage we have experienced the rich blessing of Him whose we arc, and whom we serve. The Marquesas Islands now have a population of 8000—less rather than more. The Romanists have nine Priests, eight on the field, five Lay Brethren and three Nuns. We have three -Stations, three Missionaries and their wives. Our Missionaries work with tbeir hands, instruct the people in Schools, and endeavor to point them to Him, who has said—" lam the way, the truth, and the life." Hivaoa is the most important Island of the group, as to size, resources and population. There are at least 4000 people on the Island, and may be 5000. Though your Delegates did not find the Mission work progressing at the Marquesas as they would have desired, yet neither did they see anything which would lead tbem for a moment to tbink of abandoning the field. Nothing in the character of the men who have labored there. These to be sure are not perfect, as we are not. Have made mistakes, as we have made mistakes, yet they have done a good work- They are true Christians, and desire the extension of Christ's Kingdom. We saw nothing in the character of the people for whom the Missionaries have labored to lead us to forsake the field. Low and debased as these are, and you here in this Christian land can hardly conceive how debased they are, they are not more debased than were those heathens whom Paul describes in the Ist Chapter of Romans. These debased ones have souls for whom Christ died, as He diedforus. If Heloved them enough to give His life a sacrifice to provide a way of salvation for them, ought we not to love their souls enough to give of our abundance to support those who are willing to labor for their good ? There is nothing in the blessed Gospel which has been preached to these degraded ones to lead us to forsake that field. This Gospel is the same power of God to tbe Milvation of men now that it was 1900 years ago. We would urge the Hawaiian Board to continue the work there with more zeal, energy and faith. The night of toil has been long and dreary, but not more so than it has been in other Missionary fields. A footing has been obtained. It cannot now be said as it was asserted in 1851, that at different periods various Missionaries essayed to establish themselves here, but they have all failed. Not a single true conversion has taken place. Sinoe then, and by tbe labors of Hawaiians, your Missionaries, it has been demonstrated, that tbe Gospel is not a failure, even among tbe blood thirsts, cannibal Marquesans. There is power, in the Gospel of Christ to reach even these. Tbesame Gospel which reformed the lying Cretians, converted the effeminate and licentious Corinthian, and abolished tbe idols of Ephesus, has also in these latter days converted tbe Marquesan and made him an Ileir with Christ to an heavenly inheritance. Let us correct speedily whatever has been wrong in the labors of the 21 years past, but let us be slow, very slow, in issuing tbe edict, which will close our work begun on those Islands, and lose for us the victories already gained. May the Head of tho Church give us wisdom to devise the best means to benefit that people, and prudence and energy to carry out what may be devised. Knowing that our Lord has said, I am with you always" let us gird on anew our armor to do battle for our Lord and King. Victory ii sure. Why hesitate? God calls. Let him hear the devout prayer going forth from each one of our hearts. Here am I Lord. Do with me, my property, my strength, my life, my all as seems best to Thee. Lead and I will follow, and following Him we will gain the Conqueror's Crown. Do you ask what is needed to infuse new life into this Mission ? I answer, new Missionaries, strong faith and earnest prayer. " � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
