THE FRIEND. MARCH 1, 1866. Kisaboro, the Japanese Traveler.—On the return of this gentleman from the United States to Japan, he spent a few days in Honolulu. He travels in company with Mr. Van Reed, an American, connected with the house of Hurd & Co., of Japan and China. Kisaboro belongs to the " upper ten of Japan, and wears two swords. He is a careful observer, and notes in his memorandum book whatever he considers worthy of record to take back to his native land. While at Washington he was introduced to President Johnson and Secretary Seward. He was peculiarly impressed with the style of pardoning rebels in Ameriea, in comparison with the summary methodof chopping heads off in Japan, or commanding the rebel to fall on his sword ! We were glad to learn from him that Hiko, the protege of Senator Gwin, and also that Mangero, the translator of Bowditch's Navigator, are still alive. Some of our readers may remember Mangero's visit at Honolulu, in 1860 and 1860, as the interpreter of the Kandinmarah, the Japanese steamer. " American House.—We are glad to learn that a hotel is to be opened this day far more worthy of the name than anything which has before existed in Honolulu. Mr. Kirchhoff, .'ate of the Aldrich House, has leased the premises lately occupied by the British Consul, and fitted them up in a style of neatness and elegance that we are confident will prove attractive to the public. period of their management, boarders and the friends of the Home have been well pleased with Mr. and Mrs. Miller.

During the last few years the work ol emancipation has been going forward in the very smallest and the largest nations of the earth. Great principles may be illustrated [ among a few as well as among many. It is to the principle of emancipation we would now invite the reader's attention, as illustrated among the inhabitants of these Islands, Russia and America. Hawaii.—A few years ago the principle of serfdom was in full force among Hawai- 181 6. breed of pigs or poultry, the Chief, on hearing of it, had no hesitation in making the property his own: This takes place, independent of the customary presents and tribute ; even every dollar obtained by traffic with strangers must be given up, on pain of the Chief's displeasure. Europeans are subject to the same oppression; and from this general insecurity of private property arises, in a great degree, the absence of much industry or improvement, both among them and the native peasantry.'' —page 385. The King then is a complete autocrat all power, all property —all persons are at his disposal; the Chiefs receive grants of land from him, which they divide and let out again in lots to their dependents. * The cultivators are not paid for their labor, nor, on the other hand, do they pay a regular rent for the land. They are expected to send presents of pigs, poultry, kalo and other provisions, to the Chief from time to time, together with any little sums of money which they have acquired in trade, or any other property which it may suit the fancy or convenience of the great man to take. This arbitrary custom is a sad hindrance to the — " ians. The common people were held as serfs. They were not bought and sold, but they possessed no civil and political rights which the King and High Chiefs were bound to respect. So long as it was for the interests of the Chiefs, or proprietors of the soil, to employ the common people or allow them to remain in possession of their lands, or in cultivating the soil, they did so, but no longer. Perhaps the most satisfactory stateWhen a ment relating to this subject is to be found in prosperity of the tenant. tencnt refuses to obey the order of his Chief, the address of the late Judge Lee, before the the most severe and summary punishment is Royal Agricultural Society, in August, 1850: inflicted on him, namely, confiscation of his within the last year the Hawaiian property.

As a fundamental principle, it was taken for granted that the tiller or cultivator of the soil had a right to own the land which he cultivated. This was all-important. This is just the point which, we fear, has been over-looked in the emancipation of the slaves in the United States.// Russia. —The facts in regard to the emancipation of the Russian serf we shall present in the language of Mr. Senator Sumner, at a public meeting in Worcester, Mass. On the platform, near Mr. Sumner, sat M. Kapwist, a Russian gentleman, holdjngan office under the Imperial Government of Russia. is a glorious instance in our own " There says Mr. Sumner, " which is an exday," ample for us, when the Emperor of Russia, by a proclamation fulfilling the aspiratious of his predecessors, set free twenty-three millions of serfs, and then completed his work by supplementary provisions investing the freedmen with civil and political rights, including the right to testify in court, the right of suffrage, and the right to hold office. I have in my hand this immortal proclamation, dated at St. Petersburg, 19th of February, 1861; promulgated amidst prayers and thanksgivings in all the churches of the national capital, and at once expedited to every part of the widely extended empire by the hands of Generals and staff officers of the Emperor himself. Here it is, in an official document, entitled Affranchissement dcs Serfs, and issued at St. Petersburg. After reciting that the earlier measures in behalf of the serfs had failed, because they have been left to • the spontaneous initiative of the proprietors,' the Emperor proceeds to take the work in hand as a sacred legacy from his ancestors, and declares the serfs, after an interval of two years, ' entirely enfranchised.' Meanwhile, that nothing might fail, ' a special court' for serfs was created in each province, charged with the organization of local governments, the adjustment of boundaries, and generally to superintend the transition from the old to the new, with ' justices of the peace ' in each district to examine on the spot all questions arising from emancipation. Had the work stopped here, it would have been incomplete; it would have been only half done; but no such fatal mistake was made. the proclamation are sup" Accompanying plementary provisions, called ' regulations,' prepared with infinite care, and divided into chapters and sections—occupying no less than ninety-one pages in double columns and small type—by which the rights of the freedmen 'acquire the rights belonging to the condition of free fanners,' they then proceed in formal words to fix and assure these rights, civil and political. By one section it is provided that ' the articles of the civil code on the rights and obligations of the family are extended to the freedmen ; that consequently they acquire the right, without the authorization of the proprietor, to contract marriage, and to make any arrangement whatever concerning their family affairs ; that they can equally enter into all agreements and obligations authorized by the laws, as well with �I), MARCH, 18 66. 19 JUL X It I I \ the state as with individuals, on the conditions established for free fanners ; that they can inscribe themselves in the guilds, and exercise their trades in the villuges; and they can found and conduct factories and establishments of commerce.' Another section secures to the freedmen the right of acquiring and alienating property of all kinds, according to the general law, and, besides, guarantees, on certain conditions, ' the possession of their homesteads,' with the grounds appurtenant. Another sections secures to the freedmen complete equality in the courts, with ' the right of action, whether civilly or criminally, to commence process, and to answer personally or by attorney ; to make complaint, and to defend their rights by all the means known to the law, and to appear as tcnlnesses and as bail, conformably to the common law.' Other Sections secure to the freedmen equality in political rights, by providing that, ' on the organization of the towns, they shall be entitled to take part in the meetings and elections for the towns, and to vote on town affairs, and to exercise divers functions ;' that they shall also take part in the assemblies for the district,' and shall vote on district affairs, and choose the chairman,' and generally enjoy all the rights to choose their local officers, and to be chosen in turn. And still another section authorizes the freedmen ' to place their children in the establishments for public education, to embrace the career of instruction, or the scientific career, or to take service in the corps of surveyors.' And it is further provided that they ' cannot lose their rights, or be restrained in their exercise, except after judgment of the town, according to fixed rules.' And still further, that they ' cannot be subjected to any punishment, otherwise than by virtue of a judgment, or according to the legal decision of the town to which they belong.' Such are the safeguards by which emancipation in Russia has been completed and assured. Such is the lesson of the great Empire to the great Republic." America.—lt will not be necessary for us to dwell so minutely upon the work of emancipation in the United States, for all the newspapers, Members of Congress, lecturers, ministers and people, at home and abroad, have been discussing the subject for years. The work has proceeded so far that an amendment has been annexed to the Constitution, declaring that forever slavery is abolished throughout the United States. Freedom is now the organic law of the land. The great question of negro suffrage is now under discussion, in Congress and out of Congress. But there is one question which we deem of more importance than even thatof suffrage— it relates to the ownership of land. We fear the Government of the united States has not provided as it should—that the emancipated may become land-owners. It does appear to us that each family, in its emancipation, should have had a home secured to it. Unless the freedmen become owners of the soil, and are allowed to vote, they will have a hard lot.' If our lot was cast among the American people, it would be for suffrage and a homestead that we should contend. Negro Suffrage.—This appears to be the We are, however, hopeful, and when we consider what has already been accomplished by great question now under discussion in the the civil war in America, we are far from United States.

So thinking, I directed my steps to the dwelling of some American Missionaries, who had arrived a few months ago, and my visit was altogether most gratifying. Their house, a little distance from the village, is built of wood, brought with them ready prepared from America, nnd is sufficiently large for the accommodation of four Missionaries with their wives and families ; of whom the principal is Mr. Bingham, who seemed very active in the discharge of his Missionary duties." Mr. Mathison furnishes his readers with a most interesting account of his visits to the Pali, Kaneohe, Waialua and other parts of Oahu, and also of his interviews with the King, Chiefs, nnd people generally. During his sojourn the Americans celebrated the 4th of July. " About sixty persons of all nations were present, but principally Americans, sat down to the dinner, under a marquee tastefully decorated with flags and colors from the different ships." The King was present, dressed in a " magnificent cloak of red and yellow feathers," the head Queen, also, equipped in the costume of the country. The Prime Minister, Krimnkoo, gave the following toast, through an interpreter, "The health of nil individuals present, and prosperity to all nations." Krimakoo was no ordinary personage. His name stands forth most prominently in the history of this Kingdom. His treatment of an English sailor, who promised to " knock off" his grog and then broke his pledge, is quite worthy of publication. Jack had promised to work for Krimakoo a certain period without touching n drop! "The penality for breach of promise was to be forty lashes, besides the forfeiture of pay. Unfortunately a boat's crew came on shore the same day, from some merchant vessel, and Jark could not resist th? temptation of drinking a few glasses of his favorite grog, never thinking that the Chief would in reality enforce the penalty; greatly to his surprise and annoyance, however, Krimakoo watched an opportunity for seizing him, and inflicted the punishment without pity, enjoying at the same time his temporary distress, and exposing him lo the derision of the whole community —a sad triumph, indeed, of barbarism over civilized life." But we are protracting our notice of this " much beyond our intention.

General Marshall.—We learn from late Boston papers that our old fellow resident, J. F. B.

Tho following contribution to " Natural History " is from tho pen of a native Hawaiian—the late David Malo, of Lahaina. Ho left a great amount oT manuscripts relating to the history and legendary lore of the islanders. A friend has kindly furnished us or publication a literal translation of a chapter relating to the animals nnd birds of the islands. Our readers must not expect a strictly scientific use of language! But we regard these extracts as interesting— showing the train of thought and reflections of an Hawaiian, born in the very darkness of heathenism, but partially educated after he hsd arrived at manhood. Hnd he received an American or European education his abilities would have been much greater. Chapter 13. Of Tame Wild Beasts. Concerning tho Beasts of the Islands, there is no account of the time when they were brought hero, nor of those who brought them. Perhaps the ancient settlers brought them, especially tho tame ones ; but whence came wild ones ? Sec. 2. If perhaps the primary settlers brought the smaller animals, why did they not also bring larger ones ? Sec. 3. Perhaps it was because of the smallness of their ennoes in which they came, or from the fear ot tho trouble they would make, or from the fear of an attack from an enemy when they would all be destroyed together; hence perhaps they brought only small animals. Sec. 4. The following arc the animals belonging to the islands, viz.: the hog [puna] a little tho largest j the dog [ilio] a little less ; the hen [mna] a tamo bird, but a small animal. The wild birds of the forest, jvhence are they ? The reptiles [mea kolo] also, whence arc they ?

Its feathers were formerly made into jty-brushes [kahilis] and sold for a high price ; its flesh also is suitable for food. • • • • • Sec. 12. The moho is a bird that seldom flies; it only walks about through the grass, it has but few feathers, but its eyes are beautiful; it is similar in size to the alula ; it is caught by stratagem, it is an eatable fowl; they do not fly towards the sea, but live only in the jungle, for their feathers arc very heavy if they should be wet with the sea.

These birds were caught with bird lime and snares. Sec. 15.

From tho sailing of tho Morning S/nr, in the month of November, 1804, until the 'JSlh of August, 1865 (those ton months and ten days), we, your beloved, have been constantly piBasil lull among these benighted heathens—among whom 1 labor (of which I shall state hereafter) ; hut, first, I must tell you, tho seal of the Holy Cove nant of tho (iospol of Josus Christ hits been placed upon tho heads ol some of theso wild islanders of Ebon, and they have huOualll soldiers in the garrison under our Lord. Holy, holy is our Uod. The whole earth is "full of His glory." And again " The word of tho bird is a strong tower., And those converts, beloved of Christ in this field of my lahors. are valiant Soldiers of tho Cross, therefore, I feel like asking you to unite with mo in praising Uod by — • • • : •:• • singing the two hundred nnd twenty-seventh or one hundred nnd sixty-first hymn of tho Hawaiian Hymn Book. However, thisis as you please, my friends. Second— Of the leaders and the Church members. 1 have boon destitute of Missionary associates during three months—for Kov. Mr. Snow was at tho Hawaiian Islands ; and Kov. Mr. Kupali and Mr. Klouiukulo, with their f.uinlies, were stationed at Numarik ; and Mr. Doano was in the United States; and I alone, with my family, was loft at Ebon—tho Church mombers only were my holiiors in tho work of tho l<ord. Since this group consists of numerous small islands, scattered through the sea here, wo cannot gather together often to the evening meetings at my island, therefore I have given this work into the hands of the Church mombers of tho islunds distant from my own. Thore aro threo of these islands, on each of which several Churoh members reside, and this is thoir manner of working One brother conducts the ovoning mooting on Wednesday, another on Thursday, another on Friday, and ao on—and so they continue to do at the time of my writing. In tho same wny the female Church members conduct meetings among themselves; and on the Sabbath sometimes I oonrluot the meetings, sometimes themselves. As ! toot lhU oou ttrter I was left Iv alone by m, '"• associates. The"°parent birds had nown. and I occupied the dsaerUd nests. I have i songs Mima, *nd to sing they are repenting of their rebellion and seem near the Kingdom of Christ. TBI SCHOOLS,—The work of schools advances rapidly. They greatly desire to learn tho things pertaining both to their hodicH and souls. DO lure I am constantly going from island to island in tins work in which I have been engaged six Nor is it vain ; they read the years and more. Bible and other hooks. Many have committed to memory tho Uospel of Mark from beginning to end. Some are very forward in arithmetic, both man IsI and in some of the rules of written arithmetic. They have committed to memory many of tho principal histories of the lliblc as they have beard llk in from my lips; und the Catechism, also. They sing, also. Mr. Snow and myself have taught singing. Some tunes they snip, well by numbers. They arc familiar willi many tunes in the Lira Kiimalii. Bonu 01 my pupils are now nhle to assist me in leaching. There are two hundred pupils collected in my five schools, and it rejoices me much that they are able to assist mo in teaching the alphabet and putting together syllahlce. Thus I am engaged week days, and, though 1 am often fatigued by my walks through wind, rain or the hot sun, yet I am not discouraged in the least, nnd 1 trust that your investment of your funds in me and my work is not in vain, and our l/ml Josus Christ is over us all. OaatTACLM.—Foreigners from other lands are hero who do not pity these dark heathens, and oppose the progress of Truth among thcin. Tiny prefer to feed them with tbe dark food of satim, which they lived .on before. These soldiers of tho Prince of Ktcrniil Death ale shameless. Oh! pray to (iod for tie that these opposers may be. bom again. The gates of Death shall not prevail against our side. Pray without ceasing for MARINE JOURNAL. PORT OF HONOLULU, S. I. IKKIYAIaN. Jan.

Tbe Lord has given us another child this year. We are on tho most friendly terms with our neighbors, the |iooplo who dwell around us, both in regard to temporal and spiritual things. The Chiefs, also, seem attached to myself and family. So they say to mc, "Do not think of leaving us for a moment." So they said to DM when I wished to remove to Mejro to reside. They have great uflcclion, likewise, for Messrs. Doano and Snow. They are very pleasant to come to my dwelling and convene. Seventeen of the Chiefs are skilllul in reading and arithmetic. A great many of them at present have gone t" tho islands north of Ebon. 1 must now cut short this letter, and refer you for fuller particulars to the rtewtpnpv Kuokoa.
