We rejoice to learn from this publication that " Old Williams " is still in a most flourishing condition. The Faculty is composed of ten Professors, besides President Hopkins, who is accounted one of the most able Presidents ; perhaps no one stands higher among the college presidents in the United States. At present there are one hundred and ninety-one under-graduates, and among them we recognize three names belonging to the Islands, viz: among the Seniors, Sanford B. Dole, of Koloa, and William E. Rowell, of Waimea ; and among the Juniors, Oliver P. Emerson, of Waialua, Oahu. Of late years the Islands have sent forward to this institution a number of promising scholars, who have successfully competed with American youth. There is one feature of this catalogue which appears peculiar. We refer to the large number of secret societies organized among the �ander-graduates. There are the fallowing : The " Kappa Alpha," the Sigma Thi,"'the "Chi P«," the "Alpha Delta Phi," the " Delta Psi," the " Delta Kappa Epsiton." Besides these secret societies, there are the "Adelphic Unitm," " Philologian," Philo" (echnian," " Mills' Theological Society," - Williams Art Association," " Williams In"strumental and Glee Club." Among the students there are a number of athletic societies, viz: "Williams College Base Ball Club," " Ironsides Base Ball Club," " Live Oak Base Ball Club," " The Nines of Sixty-nine." Then, too, the young men have their "Glee" clubs, "Chess" clubs, besides several other associations with strange cabalistic devices and mottoes. Really we never read of an institution so remarkably blessed with societies, secret and open, literary and social. Among our professional men on the Islands, Williams College has a large representation : Chief Justice Allen, the Rev. Dr. Smith, the Rev. Mr. Corwin, and several others. We would acknowledge our indebtedness for this catalogue to Messrs. Dole and Rowell. Wailuku Valley, Maui.—lf gifted with either the poet's fancy or the painter's skill, we should certainly try our abilities upon the beauties and sublime scenery of Wailuku Valley. We have often visited the enchanting region, but each successive visit only enhances the richness and beauty of the spot. It is as completely surrounded by an amphitheatre of hills and mountain ridges as was the Happy Valley so beautifully described by Dr. Johnson, and inhabited by Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia. We do not wonder that the good people of Wailuku never think a friend has completed his visit until he has been to a picnic up that valley. We. rejoice to know that our old school-mate, Mr. Bailey, who has so long resided at the mouth of the valley, has become so charmed with the contemplation of the scenery, that he is endeavoring to transfer some of its beauties to the canvas. Already has he executed two large landscape paintings which would do credit to one who had handled the pallet and brush, and sat before his easelfrom his youth. Any one with an eye to the sublime and beautiful may enjoy many a feast as he wanders over the Sandwich Islands. Photographers, painters and sketchers have as yet only taken a bird's eye view of the aatural scenery on these Islands. 81 \m Series, m. 21 The Hawaiian Legislative Assembly convenes to-day in obedience to the following Proclamation: We, Kamehameha V., by the Grace of God, of the Hawaiian Islands, King, Do Proclaim, That it is Our Pleasure, in pursuance ot the provisions of Our Constitution, that the Members of the Legislative Assembly of Our Kingdom, do assemble at tbe Court House, at our Capital of Honolulu, in Extraordinary Session, for such Legislation as may be rendered necessary by a Convention of Reciprocity, with the Government of the United States of America, and to do and perform all such other acts and things as may be suitable and proper thereon, at 12 o'clock M., on Monday, the 2d day of September, A.

The sad effects of intemperance are too apparent to need description. The only safeguard is total abstinence fromall intoxicating liquors. The temperance cause in the United States is greatly revived. In England, too, the friends of temperance are not asleep. The unhappy position which the majority of pro fessing Christians have assumed m Great Britain towards teetotalism is disheartening. (See the remarks of a correspondent in an other column.)

The Hawaiian Mission from an Episcopal Stand-Point. American Church Missionary Society Rooms, Na 8 Bible House, New York City, June 1,1867. Rev. 8. B. Treat, Correspondino Secretary A. B. C. F. M. : ) J Reverend and Dear Brother:—You have thought it worth your while to ask me to write out, for publication in the Missionary Herald, the substance of the remarks made by me, in regard to your Mission in the Hawaiian Islands, at tbe recent anniversary meeting in behalf of your Board held in this city. A sense of what was due to you and your work constrained me to speak on that occasion as I did. The same feeling now leads me to comply cheerfully with your re- quest. The results of your Hawaiian Mission are their own best witness, and do not need any vindication from me. But I felt sure when I spoke, as I now feel in writing, that appreciative words from a clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal Church would not be ungrateful to you and your constituency. Loving my own church with an undying affection, 1 count myself most faithful to her character and history when I thus publicly and sincerely congratulate you on the success of your gospel-work in Hawaii nei, and bear an honest testimony about it, as I saw it with mine eyes. 11l health led me, one year ago, to the Hawaiian Islands, and kept me there for four months. The recollections of that visit are very fragrant to me. Ido not, however, recull so much the pleasure of a sojourn under a tropical sky and of a descent into the world's grandest volcanoes, as the rare privilege of seeing for myself, what can be done in half a century, with God's blessing and by missionary zeal, for and with an utterly heathen, atheistic people. As the contioversy growing out of the Reformed Catholic Mission—which is not an undertaking of my own church, but simply of individual members thereof—had filled the very air with conflicting stories, 1 resolved to find out for myself, so far as I could, just what had been done, and what had been left undone, by your missionaries as well as by those of the Roman Catholics and Reformed Catholics. This resolution I sought to carry out in the fear of God, and for my own satisfaction as a Christian mat*, and as an Episcopalian minister. To this end I visited thoroughly the chief islands, nearly every mission station on the whole group, and so far as facilities were given roe, all the religious, educational and social institutions. I attended Sunday and week day services ; made the personal acquaintance of the major part of the missionaries of all creeds ; conversed with persons of many professions and social grades. The deeper I pushed my investigations, the stronger became my conviction that what had been on your part necessarily an experimental work in modern missions, had, under God, proved an eminent success. Every sun-rising brought me new reasons for admiring the power of divine grace which can lift the poor out of the dust and set him among princes. Every sun-setting gave roe fresh cause to bless the Lord for that infinite love which enables us to bring to ourfellow-men such rich blessings' as your missionaries have bestowed upon the Hawaiian race. Here I feel bound to say that I use the phrase " eminent success in a relative, not in an absolute, sense. All has not been accomplished that could have been desired, but more has been done than could have been expected. Less than half a century is too short a time, as missionary annals teach us, to complete the process of Christianizing a heathen people. It has been long enough, in this case, to transfer the whole race from the despotic sway of heathenism to the plastic influences of the gospel; and to mould that race, up to a certain point, after the pattern of Christ. To me it seemed marvelous, that in comparatively so few years, the social, political and religious life of the nation should have undergone so radical and blessed a change as it has. And 1 would not have made this limitation were it not that so many fail to appreciate how far removed heathenism is irom Christianity, and how potent must be the power which induces the abandonment of the one and the embracing of the other. " Looking then at the Kingdom of Hawaii nei as it to-day has its recognized place among the world's national sovereignties, 1 cannot but see in it one of the brightest trophies of the power of the Cross; one of the most gratifying seals set by God upon the labors of his servants; and one of the strongest encouragements to press our missionary enterprises into all lands, and to sound the gospel unto every people. In using these words of warm commendation, I feel that I am exalting what the Lord has done for a people redeemed with his precious blood, rather than what man has done for a once degraded race. Thus far my statements have been very general. It is proper for me to become as particular as your limited space will allow, and to dwell upon some distinct points. (1.) I would write first of your missionaries, because a mission takes its cast from the men who begin and carry it on. I found them to be mostly venerable men, who had in their early manhood chosen as theirbridal tour a voyage to the far-off islands which were best known as the death-place of Cook. Under a prostrating tropical sun, amid the trials and deprivations of an island home, they have toiled for twenty, thirty and fifty years, until their hair has grown gray and their grandchildren have gathered about them. In some cases, the infirmities of age have laid them aside from active labor, but in others their vigor and natural force do not seem to be abated. They have pursued the aim of lheir lives with a tenacity of purpose, with a strength of will, and with courageous heroism which are truly sublime. They won and still retain the respect, confidence, affection and gratitude of the natives. They led these from the darkness of heathen degradation to the brightness of Christian life ; and they still urge to higher attainments the nation whom they have begotten in the Lord. They now enjoy the rare privilege of seeing the fruit of their labors abounding on every side. Moreover, they have impressed themselves upon the Kingdom. In every department of the national life,—civil, religious, social, they have cut deep their mark. That mark is one of which they have no reason to be — ashamed. What of good there is in the nation is due under God, and in the main, to them ; what of evil there is remaining lingers in spite of their unceasing efforts to drive it out. They have been charged with being too zealous to make the Hawaiian race "overrighteous," but never with conniving at their sinfulness. They have made manhood and womanhood possible. They have taught an ignorant, and Christianized a heathen people. They have toiled to make a licentious race virtuous and to supplant drunkenness with sobriety. They have given to the nation a written language, a literature, the Bible and religion,educational and political institutions based upon the Word of God and the rights of men. They brought into a heathen despotism ideas of right and wrong, of justice and truth, of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man ; so that wherever 1 turned, 1 found the impress of the plastic hands of your missionaries. Men who have done such a work are not to be spoken lightly of, nor treated with contempt. They have earned our gratitude and deserve our praise, for what they have accomplished in behalf of one branch of the human family. That they should have made some mistakes was to be expected. That they did not make more and graver ones excites our wonder. That they have erred sometimes in their judgments is simply to repeat the experience of their brethren and fellow-men the world over. That the constant desire of their hearts, and aim of their minds, has been to promote the true interests of, and to exalt the Hawaiian race, no one is bold enough to deny; so that, looking at the fruit of their half century's labor, we are constrained to drop the crown ofhonor upon their heads, as the fathers and mothers of the nation. And we may well bow ourselves before that venerable pioneer missionary (taking him as a representative of his brethren), who yet waits for the divine summons in a Christian kingdom, which he first looked upon, nearly fifty years ago, as a repulsive heathen despotism. 1 may venture a step further in this doubtful province of considering personal character, and recall the old adage, that we must live in the same house with a man before we can thoroughly know him. Now, as there are no hotels in the Hawaiian Islands outside of Honolulu, and as the hospitality of the missionaries to strangers is very great, there are abundant opportunities of knowing intimately the character of the missionaries. 1 was received by them, without having any claim upon them, with affectionate kindness. I sat at their tables, knelt at their family altars, went with them to their Sunday and week-day services, watched their goings-out and comings-in, and saw them gathered together in their Annual Meeting. I found them to be genial Christian gentlemen. Though there were many points of difference between us, our intercourse was harmonious. Though I was full of questions, almost impertinent in some of my inquiries about their work, I soon learned that they had nothing to conceal, and that they courted investigation of what they had done. Had my mind been undecided on all other points,—as it was not,—my confidence and affection would have been won by the cheerful piety of their homes. Whatever the world might say of them, here they were trusted and beloved ; �THE FRIEND.

And why ? Because hereditary passions are fostered by foreigners, many of whom tempt to sin, those whom they condemn as sinners. The natives may, perhaps, be best likened to their volcanoes. In some ofthem the fires of passion rage and break forth in destroying streams. In others, they have spent their force, burst out only spasmodically, and are gradually becoming extinct. Others still are as peaceful as those craters where the fires have gone out, and tke ohias have sprung up and are blooming, and the birds sing sweetly and dwell safely. There are two things which mark the Christian life of the Hawaiians, and are always indicative of health and vigor. The first is foreign missionary zeal, and tbe second is a growing native ministry. Your readers are familiar with the history of the Micronesian and Marquesan Mission ns carried on by Hawaiian missionaries. 1 need here, therefore, enly refer to it as a proof of the vitality ef the religion in the Sandwich Islands. But i *Mst not pass by, as I cannot readily forget, an iaterview which J had with three native pastors, not far from the deathplace of Cook. They told me how the .Lord had dealt with them in bringing them to him ; how he had constrained them to preach his gospel; how greatly they esteemed the privilege of ministering to his people ; and how thankful they were that they resisted tke werldly advantages offered them in other vocations, that they might give themselves wbolly to the service of the sanctuary. They afe but examples of their brethren, who are laboring at many stations with success and fidelity. Here I must stop. 1 have touched only the surface of my suhject, but your space and my time will not allow me to go further. I have said enough to indicate the triumphs of the Cross in Hawaii nei. As the white foatni»g billows ofthe Pacific dashupon the black lava shore of the Islands, so the gospel, as brought in by your missionaries, has roiled over the Kingdom, but has not receded as the surf does. Should I multiply my words, or contrast their efforts with those ef missionaries of other creeds, theirsuccess would be mere apparent and marked. Hawaii nei has become, under your culture, a garden of the Lord. In it are young and tender plants. That by your continued care, and the divine favor, they may grow strong and become as the cedars of Lebanon, and that your wonk all over the globe may receive the unceasing blessing of the Lord, is the prayer ef Yours in gospel-work, Franklin S.

Again has it been our privilege to visit and view this greatest of volcanic specimens. It stands without its peer among the craters of the earth. The telescope of Ross makes known that similar craters are to be found upon the moon. Our first visit was on the 25th of June, 1847, and our second on the 29th of July, 1867. We could not discover as twenty years had wrought any material changes, externally or internally, in the crater's appearance. Great, grand, old Haleakala remains in statu quo. A person having once ascended its side and looked into its vast crater, will never forget the impression made upon his mind. The view once daguerreotyped upon the mind will never be effaced so long as memory retains its office. No small amount of the interest derived from our recent visit was the fact that we '• passed quite through " an immense bank of clouds ere reaching the summit. During a short space of time we were under, among, and above the clouds. On reaching the brink of the crater, there was one sensation quite oppressive. We refer to the solemn and pro- found stillness which reigned in those lofty regions. The sun shone with meridian splendor. A quiet pervaded the atmosphere that was painful. There was not heard the hum of an insect or the buzz of a fly. Instead of writing a full description of our present visit, we shall republish some notes from our journal which appeared in the Friend of August 12th, 1847, describing our first visit. We think our readers will be interested in the measurement and statement of facts copied from the United States Exploring Expedition. ofAscenH t aleakala. Editor's Journal—June 2bth, 1847. We started this morning at five o'clock from the Rev. Mr. Green's station, Makawao. Our path ted through fields of fennel, which grows wild and in the most rank luxuriance. I could not but contrast the abundance of this herb with the stinted growth of the same, as it is reared in the flower gardens of the United States. After riding about two hours we had passed the woody region. During the remainder of our ascent only a few tufts of wild grass, with an occasional shrub, were to be seen. Our guide in several instances and we learned pointed to shrubs, that such were «andal-wood. The ascent was extremely tiresome, aJthough the roughness of the way did ns* compel us to dismount from our horses. Ere we reached the summit, the clouds were at our feet, and we looked down upon them. The broad side of the mountain was spread out before us, everywhere strewed with lava rocks, while above us was the clear blue sky, and the sun, whose rays would have been most scorching had we not been favored with a fresh trade-breeze. At 10 o'clock we reached the cave, about two miles from the summit, where we partook of refreshment. Visitors often spend the night at this spot. It certainly did not hold out many attractions, and I have good reasons for believing it already possessed tenants that would sharply contend for occupancy with any way-faring and luckless wight who might find himself there benighted. Their praises have recently been celebrated in doggerel rhyme, and their services recommended to His Majesty by a late visitor on our shores: If the Kins, wants tmops that won't prove skittish.

Another boor's toilsome riding along a zigzag path brought us to the'rim of the enormous crater. The first good view of the immense cavity, many miles in diameter, and thousands of feet deep, richly rewarded us for all our toil and trouble. 1 find the crater thus described in the 4th volume of the United States Exploring Expedition, 254th page: "The crater of Haleakala, if so it may be called, is a deep gorge, open at the north and east, forming a kind of elbow. Tbe bottom of it, as ascertained by the barometer, was 2,783 feet below the summit peak, 2,093 below the wall. Although its sides are steep, yet a descent is practicable at almost any part of it. The inside of the crater was ens tirely bare of vegetation, and from its bottom arose some large hills of scoria and sand ; some of the latter are of an ochre-red color at the summit, with small craters in the centre. All bore'the appearance of volcanic action ; but the natives have no tradition of an eruption. It was said, however, in former times the dread goddess Pele had her habitation here, but was driven out by the sea, and then took up her abode on Hawaii, where she has ever since remained. Can this legend refer to a time when the volcanoes of Maui were in activity ? Of the origin ot the name Mauna Haleakala, or house of the sun, 1 could not obtain any information. Some of the residents thought it might be derived from the sun rising from over it to the people of West Maui, which it does at some seasons of the year." The gentlemen of the Exploring Expedition made the highest peak 10,200feet above the sea, or a few feet less than two miles. The limit line ot wood is 6,500 feet. The crater is at least 8 or 10 miles in diameter, and ft from the centre to either opening. This spacious area contains something like 15 craters of no inconsiderable dimensions, varying from 200 to 600 feet high. As I sat upon the brink of this most stupendous of nature's work, glancing an eye into its profound depths, from whence immense quantities of lava must have issued forth, or extending my vision across the channel, separating Hawaii and Maui, upon tinsnow-capped summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, lost in the clouds, these words of the Psalmist were most forcibly brought to my mind, is man, that thou art " What ? and the son of man, that mindful of him thou visitest him ?

Mighty indeed do the works of Jehovah appear, when viewed from an eminence, like the summit of Haleakala, in a clear day. I wandered along the crater's brink, alternately looking downward into its fiery depths and outward upon the immense ocean of clouds that effectually concenled from my view the mountains of West Maui. While thus gratifying the soul with scenery, vast and sublime, I chanced to espy the fragment of an old newspaper, which proved to be a number of the Episcopal Recorder, published in Philadelphia. Ths date I could not learn, but to my surprise, I found the scrap contained sentiments and remarks not unfitting the spot whither the winds had driven it. The following is a quotation : " He who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meeted out heaven with a span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and hills in a balance. He with whom the nations are as a drop of the bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance ; who taketh up the isles as a very little thing ;' for whom Lebanon is not sufficient to burn," nor the beasts thereof sufficient for a burnt offering;' He has given them to me. And what have I given in return ? The fragments of my feelings and the mere shreds of the joyous days and peaceful nights He has bestowed on me." Never was I more favorably situated to appreciate the beauty, force and sublimity of such language, paraphrased from that most sublime of old Hebrew poets, Isaiah. I was standing upon one mountain more than 10,000 feet high. At a distance of more than 50 miles, 1 could see the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, vicing in height with the Andes of South America and the Himalaya ofCentral Asia. The prophet and poet, Isaiah, represents the Almighty as weighing the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance. Far away stretched the broad Pacific, " majestical, inimitable, vast," yet Jehovah measureth the waters in the hollow of his hand. " The isles," what are they, and how disposed of ? Them He little thing." But how " taketh up as a very doth Israel's God view the nations ? They as a drop of the bucket, and are counted "asare the small dust of the balance." It is with good reason that the critics regard Isaiah as among the most, if not the most sublime of either uninspired or inspired poets. It might with propriety and truth be tion." ' ' said of him as it was said of a poet of modern times. He heights, and seemed at home " Soareduntrodden Where angels baMhful look. He, from above descending, stooped to touch The loftiest thought." We commenced ourdescent about half past 12 o'clock, and safely reached the mission station at 5 P. M., having been absent just 12 hours. We had traveled between 20 and and on account of the roughness of the road, were compelled to walk our horses nearly the entire distance. Weary and exhausted, we were thrice glad to be kindly welcomed by our missionary friends. Thus ended a day's excursion excessively fatiguing, but we hope in the end it may prove invigoi) 5miles, rating to both body and mind. He is not poor who hath little, but he that desireth much. Editor's Table. SfcttMON, by the Pastor, Rev. C. C. Salter, on the Tenth Anniversary of the Plymouth Congregational Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sunday, April 27th, 1867. This discourse indicates the rapid changes which are taking place throughout the great valley of the Mississippi. It was preached in one of those thriving towns which arc springing up in all parts of the valley. Minneapolis is among the most prosperous of the western or north-western cities. The State of Minnesota is filling up with an enterprising and thrifty population. The city of Minneapolis has already ten churches of various denominations, all of which have been organized within a few years. We never read newspapers from that part of America but it quickens our pulse and causes us to anticipate what America is yet to become, when its boundless prairies and broad acres shall be fully inhabited and cultivated. 85 Makawao Female Seminary.—School examinations on the Sandwich Islands appear to have become a favorite pastime among the people. During the month of June there was a succession in Honolulu, occupying a good part of the whole month. On our arrival at Makawao, almost the first announcement we heard was that an examination of Mr. Green's school was soon to come off. It occurred on the 26th Aug., and took place at the native church, which was suitably decorated with evergreens for the occasion. A fine collation was also prepared for all present, both foreigners and natives. We noticed among the spectators from abroad the Rev. Mr. Alexander, and Mr. Bailey from Wailuku ; the Rev. Messrs. Parker and O. H. Gulick from Oahu, together with several foreign ladies. It was an occasion indicative of that noble work now in progress among Hawaiians—the education of the female portion of the rising generation. This and sister institutions on Oahu and Kauai, are doing a good work for this people. We are glad to learn that the Board of Education extends its fostering care to this Seminary. Most truly do we congratulate the patrons, teachers and pupils of this Seminary in the success which has thus far attended their combined efforts. The Rev. J. Porter Green and wife, Miss Mary Green, Miss Mary Parker, and Miss Johnson, have contributed their personal efforts to carry forward this Seminary during the past year. Under such management success is sure. We are confident many of our readers will be interested in the perusal of the letter addressed by the Rev. F. S. Rising to the Rev. S. B. Treat, one of the Secretaries of the A. B. C. F. M. The visit of Mr. Rising to the Islands will be remembered by many on all the Islands. We never knew a visitor who was more diligent in making inquiries respecting the social, moral, political and religious state of the islanders. During his sojourn he collected a library of books relating to the Islands, and we doubt not that collection of books at No. 3 Bible House, New York, is more full upon the Islands than any Transplanting Trees.—We rejoice that the other collection of books in the United States, good people of Honolulu are somewhat alive except that at the Mission House, Pemberton to the importance of ornamenting their priSquare, Boston. vate residences and public grounds.

LetfrSohipmasE Some of ourreaders are acquainted with Cspt. Wood, of the ship Oracle, which has frequently touched at Honolulu on her trips from San Francisco to China. At last dates the Oracle was in Liverpool, from which city Capt. Wood writes under date of May 31st. He had left the ship. Since my arrival in this country I have had" quite a time traveling to and fro ; went down into Yorkshire to visit the '• tombs of my father's ancestors," and found some very remote cousins, who received me very welcomely, and our comparison of family traditions accorded perfectly, while the last link of proof was afforded me when the girls sang and played and their fathers, accompanied with the violin. I was quite interested in visiting the old church arid examining the ancient records (as fresh as yesterday) of the family marriages and baptisms. My friends spoke good intelligible English, but most of the folks round spoke a language which 1 should judge to resemble most of all the inscriptions on Cleopatra's Needle or the Nineveh bricks. Thence went to London, and taking the Dover train, crossed to Calais and visited some French friends, who by the way were much grieved that I could not attend the theatre with them on Sunday. Went up to Paris and took a hasty survey of the Exposition Universelle, which 1 was foolish and green and ignorant enough to admire, notwithstanding the London Times, and of course its obedient readers, had condemned it as an utterfailure in every respect. Glasgow I often told "my acquaint" Inthat ances I never was in a place that seemed so much a field for missionary effort, and that I would suggest to the good people of the Hawaiian islands that they might well send from their abundance one or two missionaries to preach the gospel and temperance in Scotland, where they preach the gospel versus temperance. Yet I have never seen temperance effort more energetic and persistent than among the small band of Scotch reformers, as you will, I think, believe from the evidence of the operations of the League ; but the church in Scotland, as in England, is the inveterate foe of temperance, and in close alliance with old King Satan in that respect. A leading church newspaper, edited by a leading Scotch divine, lately refused to advertise the publication of a temperance work for -sale—on religious grounds; but it regularly advertises whisky, brandy and beer—on what grounds I don't know. What do you think now of Dr. Norman McLeod, the champion of the church ? I think we are apt to be uncharitable nnd unjust in judging harshly the peccadillos of the Hawaiian Islanders, when we see so much worse in America and Britain, where people have had the light of Christianity so many centuries. • "I almost repented leaving the ship when I saw her sailing away from Cardiff. I should like to makaanother trip to Honolulu. Some of these days I hope to be able to ask you to come and rusticate with me a month in Vallejo. Cannot do so till I get established there myself." Duty to ourselves is the lesson least attended to. Mrs. S., lately a resident at Makawao, on her return to the United States, thus writes us while on board the Golden City, June 30th, 1867, one day out from Panama: " We have on board four missionaries from China: Rev. A. P. Hopper, of Hongkong; Rev. E. C. Lord, E. F. Kingdon and wile (English); Mrs. Holmesand child, of Shanghaej and Rev. S. R. Brown and wife, of Yokohama, Japan. They were eight years in China before going to Japan. Mr. B. built a very nice house in Yokohama a few years ago, which was burnt a week or so be- fore their sailing. They lost thereby some valuable translations. They are taking their daughter home to school, intending to return in a year or so. Mr. B. is not permitted, as you doubtless know, to hold public meetings, but several come to read the Bible with him at his house. He tells me that he is very hopeful of Japan now, and never felt more encouraged. Although the Japanese, individually, are obliged to register their names as belonging to some heathen temple, in order to enjoy the privileges of the land, still they are hopeful the law may be abolished, and that their labors may be carried on more openly. "All the China passengers —some fifty in number—regret not being able to stop at the Islands.and particularly Mr. and Mrs. Brown, who tell me it takes much from the pleasure of the trip, as they have looked forward to visiting you all. on board some shipwrecked " We have : Capt. Richmond, of the Daniel passengers Wood, an account of whose wreck I read in your paper; Capt. Frazer, of the Canton Packet, another wrecked captain ; also Mrs. Capt. Howe, of the Ellen Southard, who is just in from China, her husband having died on the voyage. The vessel had a large number of Chinamen on board. They got short of water, and the mate made a mistake, taking them past San Francisco. There was no getting back ; so after beating about, put into Santa Cruz. She has a long tale to tell, thinking no woman ever had so much trouble, but I think the wife of the master of the Lubra had much more, whose letter you published. This Mrs. Howe reports the lady just referred to as dead. Our China passengers are from the Colorado, and speak very highly of her officers and crew, and of their fare generally, but all so greatly regret not being able to touch at the Islands." A Hebrew Government. —A form of govestablished in 1864 by the Israelites resident in the United States, for the purpose of guarding the.race in America. This organization has been in regular operation ever since its establishment, but so exclusively hsfe its doings been confined to the affairs and circles of those immediately interested, that the public at large hasknown very little of its existence." The business of this government has now grown so important that the executive is about to call for loans, and issue bonds, in the name of the Israelitish government. This organization is intended to co-operate with similar associations in other parts of the world, the grand object being a furtherance of the favorite and traditional Jewish idea, that the whole race of Israelites will be ultimately gathered together ernment was in the land of their forefathers. Then they believe the temple of Jerusalem will be rebuilt, preparatory to the coming of ihe Messiah, to vindicate the truth of the religious belief to which the Jews have adhered tenaciously for so many centuries. The whole number of Jews scattered abroad throughout the world is estimated at six millions.—New York Times. Books for Japan.—We copy the following from a late number of the New York Observer : " The Japanese Commissioners now at Washington have ordered, through the publishers, Messrs. Ivison, Phinney, Blakeman & Co., of this city, the following books, which are to be forwarded immediately for the instruction of the Japanese: 2,300 Webster's school dictionaries; 4,000 Sander's readers and spellers; 10,000 Spencerian copy books; 800 Kerl's English grammars ; 700 D. A. ■Well's scientific text books ; also Prof. Asa Gray's Botanies, Parley's Universal History, Riddle's Astronomy, Hitchcock's Anatomy, Goodison's drawing books, Colton's geographies, etc., etc., making some 20,000 volumes in all. Surely another day is dawning upon the world, in thfcultivation of such relations between two nations once so far apart in every respect." Surely another day has dawned since the month of December, 1850, when John Manjero came to our sanctum, and we consulted together respecting the most feasible plan for him to return to his native country. For ten years he had been an exile, spending most of his absence from Japan with Capt. Whitfield, of Fair Haven, Mass., where he received a good common school education. Without now stating particulars, our plans were successful. John Mangero returned via the Loochoo Islands. Having taken with him a copy of " Bowditch's Navigator," he translated it entire, together with the logarithmic tables, into the Japanese language. A copy of that translation we have now in our possession. (See Friend for June, 1860.) At our latest advices from Japan Manjero was in command of a Government vessel. From the Guano Islands.—On the 14th ultimo arrival the Hawaiian brig Kamehameha V., t'spt. Stone (formerly master of the brig Josephine), 85 days from Baker's Island. The brig left her* on the 15th of June, aud after touching at Jarvis' Island, Phoenix Island, Enderbury's and McKean's, arrivetl July !»th at linker's Island. At each a>f thess. Islands the Kamehameha Y. left supplies for the agents ami employes of the Guano Company. «\t linker's Island the ships Ktnihoorth, Rival and Stewart Lane had nil been loaded and sailed; ths Sea Chief was loading, having 600 tons on board, and the Oeo. tfreen waiting her turn. The Sea Chief, before coming to the anchorage, experienced a severe squall from the southwest, by which she lost her fore-topmast, mizen topsail yard, and split her mainsail. Capt. Stone reports all right at the Islands he has visited—no deaths and no sickness of importance. On the passage to Honolulu, in the doldrums," during twenty days the Kamehameha Y. experienced heavy rain squalls from southeast to northeast. When to the leeward of Hawaii, on the night of the 13th inst., Capt Stone was overtaken by a strong kona, with rain, thunder and lightning. This sent him flying on his course, and he madeOahu before daylight <m the morning of the 11th. He brought with him the tail end of the gale—Ail v.

Feathesed Votyagers.-When the bark Mercury, Captain Tooker, sailed from New Bedford, July 20, 1863, the agent, at the captain's request, put on board two pigeons, a male and female. Both stock by the ship, making occasional excursions, when in port, both in San Fruucisco and the Sandwich Islands, with their feathered friends, but always returned at nightfall to their dove cote on board. Three seasons they passed at the North, experiencing during their travels all the varieties of climate, and seeing more wenders than the doves which voyaged with Noah. On the passage home, when near port, a squab was added to the family, and two days out the mother pigeon was washed overboard and drowned. The surviving parent, however, exercised the maternal care over the young, and both reached New Bedford during May, in safety.—Adn.
