One Sabbath Out of Harness. The Rev. Dr. Guthrie of Edinburgh, has recently published a volume entitled " Out of Harness." In consequence of some repairs at the Bethel, the Chaplain, for a single Sabbath, may be said to be'"Out of Harness." Although thus temporarily relieved, we endeavored to improve the Holy Sabbath to a good purpose. At 11 a. m. we attended Kaumakapili church, where stood the Pastor, the Rev. L. Smith, who has for more than thirty years preached to a large congregation of Hawaiians, But few pastors have toiled and preached more successfully. Rarely during that long period has the bell of his church failed to ring at daylight each day of the week to summon the people to a Morning Prayer meeting. As we entered he gave out the text, •' For the son of man shall come in the glory of his Father, with his angels, and then he shall reward every man according to his works."—Matthew 16:27. He preached extemporaneously, as do all the American Missionaries when preaching in Hawaiian. The singing was good and the choir was assisted by a new organ, recently imported from Boston. Having observed the labors of the Pastor of this Church for so many years, we can bear our most honorable JUNE 1, ISC7. 41 {(DlbStws, Hal. 24. testimony to his fidelity, faithfulness and doctrines of the gospel.

Our astronomer's chief business, however, is that of teacher in the Batticotta High School, entirely independent of the mission, with eight teachers and 140 pupils;, whose principal teacher is Robert Breckenridge, twelve years ago one of the teachers in the Batticotta Seminary. Our second call is at the dwelling of Wm. Nevins, once a teacher in the Seminary as above, now principal teacher in n large English school in the Wesleyun Mission, in the town of Jaffna. All looks neat and comfortable about the house ; but as we are informed the owner is absent, we pass on. In the next house, we sit a few moments upon the floor of the low verandah, and speak with a woman, in middle life, who wishes to be received to the privileges of the church. She is the sister of Onesimus, whom the lute excellent Mr. Poor redeemed from slavery some forty years since, and gave him this Bible name, and who proved his faithfulness and love by standing by the dying conch of his teacher, lying low in the grasp of the dread disease, cholera. That dying scene, that faithful native, and those tones of triumph, "Joy! joy! hallelujah," from those lips, soon after scaled for the resurrection morn, are ve*ry fresh in my memory, though eleven years have patted since Mr. Poor's death. The verse, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints," had a new and vivid meaning to me at that time. When Onesimus dietl, a few years since, this sister was a heathen, but his dying charge to her to lie a christian, seems to have influenced her much. From the house of Thomas Scott, two chairs were brought out for us, and we sut, as it were, in the tent door, at the cool of the day. This man is secular agent in the mission, and 1 have not forgotten how rejoiced I wits on my first arrival in Ceylon, nearly eighteen years ago, to deliver into his hands two boxes specie, for mission expense, which had been entrusted to my care at Madras. My travelling companions (Messrs. Mills and Noyes) were also glad, for I had disturbed their sleep by crying out in my dreams, " thieves, thieves," so anxious was I to keep the cash from the thieving Hindus, of whom in my inexperience, I had greater fear than I should have now. Thomas Scolt, who was then a young man, is now getting grey, and is the fnther of nine children. The house looks very clean and comfortable. At the call of her Missionary, Catharine, a graduate of the Oodooville Female Boarding School, comes out, and is congratulated upon her attendance at church. Not all of our young christian females, while unmarried, are possessed of moral courage enough to cause them to attend public worship—such a public appearance being opposed to current Hindu ideas of propriety. Catharine, however, is not likely to be thus troubled long, for, on the Sabbath following, she was published to Daniel, a young medical student with Dr. Green. An educated sister, Mary Dickinson, or Chellamuttu (meaning precious pearl) was married in 1863, to Cyrus T. Mills, who is now a practicing native physician, at Manipay.

Trubner's American and Oriental Recoup. There is no periodical laid monthly upon Our Table, which we read over with more interest. It contains a list of new works published, or in course of publication, in America, North and South, in India, Egypt, China, Japan, and mnny other countries. We have just received the number for January, 1867. From this number it nppears that Cairo in Egypl is the great publishing centre of books Poems, Sermons, in the Arabic language. School-books, Commentaries on the Koran, Sec., arc continually issuing from the press. The list of Japanese books is full of interest. A new Japanese Sensation Drama, in ten volumes, illustrated, is to be found in the list. A work describing Yeddo and Miaco, appears in twenty volumes. A work of Auguries in seven volumes, Discussion on Mental Philosophy in ten volumes. A hundred Poems by one hundred Poets, in nine volumces, illustrated. We lately noticed the fact stated in an Oriental publication, that recently a Japanese ordered one dozen copies of Webster's Unabridged Illustrated Dictionary, from a book-seller in Yokohama. A new monthly publication has been started at Hongkong, entitled on China and Japan." Queries " Notes and The Protestant Churchman. —This is a new weekly, eight-pages, religious newspaper, published in New York, and edited by a number of Clergymen of the American Protestant Episcopal Church, who are strictly evangelical and anti-ritualistic in their opinions. We have received two numbers, and find they contain articles headed " Hawaii and the Gospel." From their tenor, we infer ihcy were written by the Rev. F. S. Rising, who visited the islands during the year 1866, and so thoroughly acquainted himself with their social, civil and religious condition. The writer remarks, "No modern triumph ol Christianity has been more satisfactory, encouraging or remarkable, than the labors of American Christians in the Hawaiian Islands." We shall look with interest for additional numbers as ihey may make their appearance. A Plea for the Pacific Theological Seminary.—This is the heading or title of preached by the Rev. Dr. Stone of rst congregational church of Sail Francisco, advocating the establishment of " a school of the prophets," in California. We hope his efforts and those of his associates may result in the founding and endowment ■non of a Seminary, vicing in usefulness with those of Andover, Princeton, Auburn and those of the Eastern States. Catalogue or Chicago Theological Seminary.—We are glad to receive a catalogue of this promising and rising institution. It has already been endowed with funds and officered with an able corps of Professors. Forty-six young men, are now enjoying its advantages preparatory to the Christian Ministry. This seminary, is designed to educate young men, as Pastors for the Congregational Churches of the great valley. Missionary Herald.—This ancient and venerable Missionary periodical, now having entered upon its v"3d year, has been vastly improved in its interna] and external appearance. It has something more than renewed its youth ! Hereafter, each number will be accompanied with some map, cut or portrait, illustrative of the foreign missionary enterprise. The officers of the American Board have at their command at thier rooms, on Pemberton Square, a richer store of missionary intelligence and literature, than is to be found in any other place in America, and they ought to publish a Monthly Periodical, containing the very " cream of missionary intelligence." The April number contains, the likeness of the Rev. D. C. Scudder, who was drowned, in India, November 19, 1562, only one year after entering upon his missionary life. A memoir has been published by " Hurd and Houghton " of New York, and a copy has made its appcaaance at the islands. We hope soon to notice it in our columns. Final Retort of Gen. J. F. I>. Marshall, as Paymaster General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, has been received. As General Jackson wrote '• (). Iv." —" Oil Korrect " on a document, so we have no doubt "G. K." might bo written upon this report of Gen. Marshall. Annales dc la Propagation he la Foi, for January, 1567.—We are always glad to receive numbers of this publication. For this number we are indebted to the kindness of Bishop Maigret. From the May number for 1866, we learn that the Parent Society at Lyons, in France, devotes as follows for the various Catholic Missions in Polynesia : HalWMsast, »■■.•• New Zvuliuitl, Aucklnnd, " " -- Wellington, New Caledonia, Central Occimicn, Tiihiti and Puwotetl, Fiji, - .

Catalogue of Seminary.—We Andover Theological are glad to receive the annual catalogue of this venerable institution. From it, we learn that Mr. James Daly, well-known in Honolulu, is a member of the Senior Class. One hundred and two students are now members of this Seminary, gathered from among the graduates of 19 colleges, in various parts of the country. Only one Professor remains, (bat lectured at Andover in our student days. We refer to the Rev. Prof. Parke, whose ability as a lecturer is unsurpassed by any in the'United States. We learn from this c.itnlosrue, that the Rev. Dr. Anderson will deliver annually a course of Lectures on Foreign Missions, before the students of this institution. Every Saturday.—We are. more and more pleased with this Hebdomadal. The selections are generally good and choice. It is published by Ticknor & Fields, of Boston, who publish also the "North American Review," "Atlantic Monthly," and " Our Young Folks." French WITHOUT a Master—in six easy lessons—by A. H. Monleitb, Esq. He also has written several oilier pamphlets, professing to instruct any one to learn, German, Spanish, Italian and Latin, in six lessons, without a teacher. They are published by Peterson & Brothers, of Philadelphia. This method ol learning a foreign language is styled the Robertsonian. It may succeed in other parts of the world,but wiil not certainly in any part of the world which it has Been our privilege to visit. The idea of u new beginner learning a foreign language in six lessons, is perfectly absurd. Edward Everett, is reported to have learned Spanish in six weeks, nnd Dr. Spring of New York, the French in one month, but that Mr. Monteilh can teach •ny foreign language in six lessons, is what we do not believe. The only conceivable method by which a youth could learn a foreign language, in six lessons, would be, by means of a galvanic apparatus. Suppose the types made of zinc, and then the wires convey the language, hy a powerful "shock" to the brain. In some Mich method, Sydney Smith supposed a dull and stupid fellow might be made to appreciate a joke! The witty parson even thought it would lie necessary to trepan a Scotchman, in order to make him appreciate an Englishman's humor! Perhaps, if Mr. Monteilh should jiersue this method, with a boy, he might learn French in six lessons, but not otherwise ! N Riverside Magazine.—This is one of the most fully illustrated and costly printed Magazines for the young, which has ever been issued from the American press. It is published by Hurd & Houghton, of New York. We notice that Jacob Abbott is ohe of the contributors. This number contain.-, an interesting journal of the Key.

The inventor of this rig, Mr. Chnrles Peterson, of San Francisco, 'Cal., a practical seaman and sailmaker, has been engaged for the Inst seven years in bringing his plan to perfection ; and having tested it fully four months on board the brig Industry, in the Pacific coasting trade, he claims for his invention the following merits: That by its means all the sails of a full-rigged ship, including the jibs and staysails, can be furled from the deck in ten minutes, with the employment of one-quarter less men than are required with the rig now in use, and at the same time dispensing with four ropes to each sail. The ropes he employs occupy the same positions on the deck and are called by the same names as the old ones, so that no difficulty will be found in teaching the sailors their use, and the new rig can be applied to the sails of any old-rigged vessel. The sails are rolled up from the bottom, and 'Can be made secure in a gale of wind without a man leaving the deck. The expense of rigging a vessel is considerably lessened, and the wear and tear of sails and rigging reduced. The model works well, and the plan seems to be well worthy the attention of shipmasters and owneis.—N. Y. Times.

The family of Tichborne is one of the oldest families in our northern country. Its estates lie in the County of Hants. These lands have been in the possession of this ancient family ever since the ISorman Con- Australia. Nothing was heard from him after this time. So at the father's death the younger brother was declared heir of the Tichborne estates. But now comes the story of the elder brother's escape and adventures. It was true that the ship in which Koger Charles sailed was lost, with nearly all on board. But he and four others saved themselves. They scrambled into a boat and lived among the icebergs of the Cape for four days and nights. They were discovered by a passing vessel, picked up, and landed at Valparaiso, in South America. All that the heir of the Tichborne family owned at this time consisted of a suit of clothes and a borrowed hat. A Spaniard took pity on him and aided him to make a comfortable living. After gaining a knowledge of the people among whom be bad been thrown, be traveled in the other South American states. When he was at Callao, he became acquainted with a sea-captain in the Australian trade, and offered to go with him as a ship's steward. He was accepted, and in due time he landed in Melbourne, Australia. Out of gratitude to the Spaniard of Valparaiso, he took bis name, and was everywhere known us Thomas tie Castro. Alter leaving the ship, he went into the interior, and got work as a shepherd. He was faithful to his employers, and soon made hosts of friends. About this time he learned, through the English papers, thai his father Sir James, was dead, anil that his title and estates had been assumed by his younger brother. As he was very much attached to this brother and was fond of his new mode of life, he thought be would make no claim, but let A Ifred enjoy the estates for a few years. Indeed, as be enjoyed good health in Australla, be made up his mind to settle in the country, and let the people at home continue to imagine that he was dead. Year rolled by. The eccentric nobleman prospered in business, and finally became the proprietor of a butchering establishment in Walla Walla, near Sydney, New South Wales. He was esteemed by every one as an excellent butcher, and an honest man into the bargain. He married the daughter of a plasterer, but never told her a word of his previous history, until a few months ago. Mrs. Dc Castro, as she supposed herself to be, presented her hrtsband with a daughter. He heard at the same time of the death of his brother and the news that the estate was to be sold. He then told his wife that she was ■ titled English lady, and sailed for Great Britain at once. He was recognized by his mother and the tenantry ; but the Jews will try to prove thai he is somebody else. The case is in the hands of the lawyers. Uncle J.'.jils.

For you ought jo know the history of England tlmoet as well as the history of the United States. Up to the year 162(1 the chiefs of this family were knights—not noblemen, but of the rank between peers and commoners. At the death of Queen Elizabeth, Sir John dc Tichborne, the representative of the bouse, on his own responsibility, proclaimed James the Sixth of Scotland the lawful king of England, under the title of James the First. This bold act greatly pleased King James; and as soon as he sat on the English throne he created Sir John a baronet and knighted his four sons. This title descended from generation to generation. The last of the Tichbornes who bore it was Sir Alfred Doughty, of that name. He died a few years ago. He wits a wild and reckless prodigal. His net income—that is, his spending-money, after paying all expenses—was £75,000 a year. You can't imagine what a great sum of money this is. It is quite equal to half a million dollars in currency. Yet, large as it was, he spent it all, and got into debt. His extravagance was amazing. One of the first things that he did, for instance, was to order five hundred of the best breech-loading rifles, for his own private use. He could not use more than one or two; hut the fool and his money are soon parted, you know ; and this was one of the ways in which he squandered his means. Then he bought a yacht, which cost h.iui $70,000. The Jews loaned him all the money he wanted, at a heavy rate of interest, as they thought that there was no heir to the estate, and they knew that it would sell for more than they loaned him. You may have heard of the law of primogeniture and entail in England. By that law, no matter how many debts a nobleman may have, when he dies, they cannot be collected by the sale of his estate, which descends without mortgage to his heir. But, as Sir Alfred had no heirs, his estates were mortgaged, and the Jews expected to sell them at his death. But, on last Christmas, an heir landed in England. He had come from New York, and this is his strange story. The chief of the Tichborne fnmily who succeeded to the estates in 1853 bad two sons at the time—Roger Charles (the eldest), and Alfred, the prodigal baronet of whom I have been speaking. Roger Charles was 24 years old and Alfred 14 when their father became the heir,to the estates. The old man died in 18S2. But, some time before RusGgNiaovrnnl.b—sTtohaya e, rrived his death, Roger Charles left England, with mi the TM ult., M days fmin ('iillao. We are indchted to Mis.-is.

Consulgeneral in China.—A correspondent ihus writes us from Shnnghae, under dale of Feb. 6th, 1887: "Mr. G. F. Seward, nephew of W. H. Seward, Secretary of State, goes as passenger per Colorado. He has filled the post of Consul-General in China for about five years, with an ability and uprightness one does not often witness in our officials to the East. He seems universally regretted by his fellow-countrymen and colleagues." We hope the day may come when all officials of the U. S. Government abroad, may sustain characters which entitle them to such testimony from their fellow-countrymen. If there is anything which makes an American abroad blush for shame, it is to have his country represented by men whose conduct tends to bring reproach upon the model Republic. We have known such men sent to the Sandwich Islands, but a brighter day has dawned ! The General Meeting.—The Annual Meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association will commence its sessions early next week. The Rev. Mr. Pogue preaches the Annual Sermon on Foreign Missions, nnd the Rev. C. B. Andrews the Sermon on Home Missions. Late Rains.—Reports from the other islands and evidences meeting the eye in all directions, make manifest that this year the farmers and planters will not complain for the want of rain. The country is looking finely. Seldom have we witnessed such verdure anil greenness on the first of June. General Health.—We have seldom known so few strangers and seamen sick in Honolulu, as at the present time. Only five foreign patients are at the Queen's Hospital and eleven jtf the U. S. Hospital. The annual meeting of the Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society will be held on Thursday afternoon, June 6th, at the residence of the Seamen's Chaplain. An Indian Missionary.—We saw and conversed with on Thursday morning last, au Indian of the tribe, or association of tribes known iv California as "The Piggere," from their subsisting a portion of the year on roots, dug from the ground. The present specimen of that much abused race came to these Islands in 1850, with the late Mr. Win. Johnson, on whose ranch he had been living, on the Sacramento river, and with whom he continued to live at Komi, Hawaii, until Johnson's death. During the past three years, he has been at school with one of the American missionaries on Hawaii. While there, bis conduct is said to have been correct and religious, and he studied hard, with the intention, as it now appears, to become a missionary of the gospel u> his own people. He weqt in the Comet, and while we bid him God-speed on his mission, we indulge the hope that he may in some measure be the means of checking the "no quarter war which is now going on between the whites and reds op this side of the Rooky Mountains. " La, the poor Indian, whose untutored mind, sag* God In trees, and hears him In thewind," is now being shot down "on sight," by white men, merely because he is an Indian. It sounds queer, that Hawaii nei, so recently in a state of barbarism, should send a missionary to California.
