The establishment and endowment <>l ihis institution at Ithaca, New York, is a fine illustration of the wide-awake and progressive spirit of the Americans in the cause of education. According to a pamphlet lying Iwforc us, the Cornell University opened yes- terday, " the last Wednesday of September, 1868." It was to open with a corps of twenty able professors and lecturers, including I'rof. Agassiz, of Cambridge, Mnss., and the celebrated Goldwin Smith, of England. It appears that Ezra Cornell, of Ithaca, gave two hundred acres of land and five hundred thousand dollars as a foundation endowment, while the State of New York has made over to the University 990,000 acres of land miller tbe provisions of that Act of the Congress ol the United Slates devoting 30,000 acres of Covi'riiineut land to ench Senator and Representative for the benefit of Arts."

The collector has been engaged to proceed to Ithaca and superintend its armngoment in the museum. The large classical library ol the late Prof. Anthon.ofNew York, has also been secured at a eosl nt 810.000.

Our attention has been called to this island and its inhabitants by an interesting article in the July number of the "Atlantic " Magazine, entitled, " Some Coral Islands and Islanders." The "Atlantic" Magazine is the very oddest place to find a very good plea tor foreign missions to the heathen. We expect to find articles upon foreign missionary operations in the " Missionary Herald," the " Spirit of Missions," and other publications devoted to missionary work, respecting which an eloquent writer has remarked " In the whole compass of human benevolence, there is nothing so grand, so Christian, so truly God-like, as the work of evangelizing the heathen." As a literary magazine, the Atlantic Monthly " has but few peers among the numerous publications of the day. We should be glad to see more frequently in its pages articles furnishing information respecting distant parts of the world. This article indicates what might be done if the contributors to that Monthly would go abroad for information. The writer .of this article, or the person furnishing information for the writer, represents himself as cruising in a little schooner among the South Sea Islands in the month of March, .1860. Having ourself taken a cruise among the Micronesian islands in the following year, 1861,and often landed on "some coral island " and seen the islanders," we are able to testify respecting the general accuracy of the statements of this writer in the Atlantic." Our limits will not allow us to copy a full description of all the islands brought under the writer's notice, but shall merely copy a few paragraphs respecting the Island of Manihiki. This island is known on English charts by the name of " Humphrey's Island," and is situated in west longitude 161 ° 4', and south latitude 10° 28. The Rev. W. Gill in his interesting work, "Gems from : " " " 18% Before introducing to our raaderi the article from the " Atlantic," we would remark that Capt. English, so well-known in Honolulu as engaged in the cocoanut oil trade on Farming's Island, is accustomed to obtain his laborers from Manihiki. His method is to visit the island and take whole families, children," for a limited " men, women and time, say one or two years, and at the expiraiion of the stipulated period return them to their island home. The calico and other goods referred to by the writer in the " Atlantic," were purchased in the jobbing stores of Honolulu. We visited the oilier islands of the group, Nunkunono and Fakaafo ; but our experience there was so much like that already re- lated, that a detailed account would involve too much repetition. I prefer, therefore, to describe a visit to the Island ol Manihiki, or Humphrey's, which with its neighbor, Rakaanga, or Rierson's, lies some six or seven hundred miles east of the Union Group. These islands closely resemble those already described in natural features, but the combined influences of intercourse with foreigners and the teachings of Christian missionaries have wrought some strange and interesting effects among the people. We sighted the Island of Manihiki at daylight. It lay ten or fifteen miles distant, the broken lino of tree-tops just skirting the horizon. Unfortunately the wind had died entirely away, and the flapping sails and lazily rocking vessel promised us a tedious day of waiting for a breeze. Discetitentud with this, we determined to set out nt once in our boat for the island, and leave the captain and crew to bring the schooner up as soon after as possible. Accordingly, prepared with lunch and fresh water, we embarked, and, after three or four hours' rowing, reached the shore, and landed upon one of the little islets of the atoll. We had no previous information concerning the island, and did not even know whether it was inhabited or not. After spending some time on the islet on which we had landed, we brought our boat through the channel from the ocean side to the inner lake, and prepared for a little sail on the lagoon. After a short cruise, we observed on a distant part of the shore what appeared to be a house ; and, while looking at it, discovered on the beach a large party of people, and several canoes filled with men just setting off to meet us. A few minutes later they were closely approaching us, and if we, at first, had any apprehensions of an unfriendly reception, they were removed as soon as the men came near enough to be distinctly visible. They were all dressed in shirts, pantaloons and straw hats, and their amiable fuces bespoke great pleasure at seeing visitors. As soon as we were within hail, they began to speak ; and we were glad to discover that our interpreter could communicate much more readily with them than with the natives of the Union the Coral Islands," thus describes Manihiki: "It belongs to the Penrhyn Islands. Manihiki is little more than fifteen miles in circumference ; it is a barren reef, not more than thirty feet above the level of the sea ; and the inner elevated reef not more than 500 feet wide—and this is the part of the island which is inhabited. Twenty years ago there were about 1,200 inhabitants, who subsisted almqst entirely on cocoanuts and fish. A runaway Tahitian sailor gave this people their earliest ideas of Christianity and of the abolition of idolatry at the Society Islands. Imperfect and crude as were this Tahitian's ideas, yet they proved a leaven to Group. We also made another discovery, which prepare the way for missionaries in subse- not only enlightened us considerably regardquent years from the Hervey and Samoan ing the people and their condition, but also helped to assure us of a kind welcome. Islands." , 8. About a thousand miles from this island there is another large island called Farming's, abounding in cocoanuts, and uninhabited until recently, when an Englishman took possession of it, and began the manufacture of cocoanut oil. This we had known before, but we now learned that his necessary laborers were hired from this island and its neighbor; it being his custom to take up a party of men, women and children once-in a year, and then return to exchange them for a fresh lot. He pays their labor in calico and such clothing as they commonly wear,—panta- loons, shirts and straw hats,—besides tobacco, knives and other implements. As this had been in operation several years, most of the inhabitants had been engaged in the work at one time or another, and their employer's name had become a household word. As we claimed acquaintance with the gentleman, we were at once received as his " brothers." They gave us a hearty welcome, and pointed to the shore, where, they said, the missionary was waiting to receive us ; and a part of the company at once paddled off to precede us with a report. On reaching the shore, we found nearly the whole population of the village, some two or three hundred people, assembled to receive us. Most of the grown people were dressed— the men in shirts or pantaloons or both, and the women in loose calico robes or gowns. A few of the older and more conservative people, however, seemed to look upon such articles of dress as innovations of the rising and progressive generation, and such held fast to their old-fashioned cocoanut ideas. The children generally were naked. The " missionary " came forward to do the honors. He proved to be a native of Raratonga, a large and high island of the Hervey Group, some five or six hundred miles away, where the English missionaries have long been established, and under whose teachings he had become a convert. Having been qualified by them to teach others, he had come thence to Manihiki some ten years before, and had become a very important member of their society. He received us with much dignity in the midst of the assembled people, all of whom pressed forward to shake hands ; and, when these greetings were over, we were invited to the king's house, where his Majesty was expecting us. Led by the missionary, and followed by the people, we walked along a wide, wellshades avenue which crossed the belt of land at a right angle to the two beaches. We soon reached fhe " Palace "—a house similar in construction to those already described, in which we found the king sitting on a highbacked bench, something like an old-fashioned settle. He was a good-natured old fellow, perhaps sixty years of age. He wore a blue woollen shirt and blue pantaloons, such as are common among us for " overalls." Before him was a roughly made table, a specimen of native workmanship. He gave us places beside him on the " throne," and cocoanuts in all their various edible forms were set before us. After a short interview, during which he invited us to spend the night ashore, as it was already too late to pull back to the vessel, we went out for a walk. To our sur- , �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, I8« 8. 83 stone upon an inhabited island fourteen hundred covered, was a piece of wood twelve or fifteen miles west of tlie>r own.

The first of these was pointed out as the church, and over the door was written " Ziona." Opposite the church was another stone building, which proved to be the missionary's house. Farther on, a third whs in process of construction, intended to be the schoolhouse ; and opposite the last was a large building, not of stone, but of the primitive style, which served as a hall of assembly for public purposes, and also as a place of confinement for offenders. These lour buildings formed the four corners of the two avenues of the village ; and at this point we found the cross street, running parallel to the sea-beach, and more than a quarter of a mile long, paved like the other in the middle, well shaded, and having on either side a long row of dwellings. These houses were of the simple style of construction, and seemed to be neatly kept. About many of the houses were pigs and fowls, which had been introduced upon the island some time before. Before the doors the preparations for the evening meal, or rather the evening cocoanuts, were now going on, some of the people having satisfied their curiosity sufficiently to be able to resume their domestic duties. During our walk we were taken to see some ot their canoes of the larger, sea-going sort. Small canoes for ordinary uses were plenty enough ; but these larger ones, which are not often required, were hauled up, and put under cover. They were between fifty and sixty feet long, made with much care and some attempt at ornamentation, certain parts of the woodwork being inlaid with pearl. They were double canoes, that is, two were joined together by stout cross-pieces nf such length that the two canoes were several feet apart. The bow of either canoe was opposite the stern of the other. When used under sail, the sail is set on the lee canoe, while the pissengers and freight are in the weather one ; and, if it be necessary to tackship, the masts and sails are shifted to the other canoe, and passengers and cargo trans-i ferred accordingly. The natives use these vessels for crossing from Manihiki to the neighboring island, some forty miles distant. This journey, I believe, is not often made, and only attempted under favorable winds, as these canoes are noj adapted to beating to windward. It has happened twice within a few years that parties have been blown or currented off while making this journey. Once, previous to the visit herein described, a party of men and women, unable to gain the land, were drifted off, and, after floating several weeks, landed upon an uninhabited Maud about one thousand miles distant. Here they subsisted on the few cocoanuts they found until they were taken oft by a passing vessel, nnd carried to the Samoan Islands, whence they were, in time, returned to their native home. Some of these survivors we saw at the time of our visit. Another party, in 1861, were ciirrented off in a similar manner; and, after eight week* ■>i untold suffering, those who survived landed esting fact that among the survivors of this party were several converts, one of them a deacon of the church on his native island. They had their Bibles with them. Finding that the inhabitants of the island to which they had come had never received n Christian teacher, or any instruction whatever, they began at once to teach them to reud, and to preach to them the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and so prepared the way for further missionary effort after their departure. When we had finished our walk,.the missionary took us to his own house. This was a large stone building, divided into three apartments, of which the middle one was the general reception-room. The floor was covered by mats, and several roughly made tables and seals composed the furniture. On one table was a number of books, chiefly Bibles, hymn-books and primers. These books were, I believe, in the language of Karatonga, possibly modified to suit the dialect of the islanders. We were told that all the inhabitarfts could read, and many could write. All possess Bibles and hymn-books, slates and pencils. All the children attend school, and receive instruction in reading, writing and arithmetic. The church is regularly organized, and comprises more than a hundred members, and many, if not all, the remaining adults are what are termed "class members." The entire population may be said to have embraced Christianity. A report in the Chronicle of date subsequent to that of this visit states that the islanders of Manihiki had paid more than fifteen pounds for Bibles and books for their own use, and contributed more than ten pounds for missionary work elsewhere, and that four young men, natives of Manihiki, were going to Karatonga to study and qualify themselves as religious teachers among other islanders. While still with the missionary, a messenger came from the king to invite us to supper with the " royal family." We obeyed immediately. We found our host seated alone behind his table, on which the feast was spread. Cocoanuts were of course in abundance, and flying-fish, partially baked, were not uninviting ; but the glory of the occasion was a chicken that had been sacrificed for our good. The king did the honors gracefully, and seemed much pleased with our expressions of satisfaction. Meantime the queen and princess royal sat on the floor, surrounded by many people of various decrees of distinction, and all much interested in watching the strangers. This entertainment was scarcely over, when the missionary sent for us to return to his house, where, to our surprise, we found a second repast prepared in much the same style, and a larger congregation of natives assembled to witness our disposal of it. We did all that men of our capacity could, but, unhappily, failed to do full justice to our host's hospitality. As the evening wore away, and we began to think of bed, we heard a remarkable noise in the street. It was the heating ol the Rap Tap. This in: trurnent, as 1 afterwards dis- the beating, first with a distressing screech, and then a short proclamation to the effect that bed-time had come, and warning all against being found out of doors or with lights burning thereafter. The missionary informed us that this was a very strict rule, and any one offending against it was liable to fine or punishment. He accordingly showed us places to sleep in an adjoining apartment, giving us very comfortable mats for beds, and then bade us good night. A few minutes later, quiet reigned throughout the entire community. We had learned that the inhabitants of the island, numbering altogether four or five hundred, were divided into two communities, one of which lived in a village similar to this on the other side of the lagoon. We were also told that with this other community were living two white men, who had been on the island several months. A messenger had been sent to these foreigners to report our visit, and in the morning they both made their appeurance. They were delighted to see us, and welcomed an opportunity :o get awn y from the island; they lost no time in making known their desire to go with us under any conditions, and to be left anywhere, only asking to be taken away. The reason for this soon became apparent. Of these two men, one was an Englishman, forty or fifty years of age, and the other an American not over twenty-five. The former had been left on the island about seven months before by a trading-vessel that had called in search of pearls. The American had belonged to the crew of a tittle vessel that had touched there four months before, on her way from San Francisco to Tahiti; and he, hoping to enjoy an indolent and lawless life among the islanders, had deserted the vessel. The Englishman, it appeared, had lived for many years by vagrancy. He had wandered all over the Pacific Ocean, and had either visited or lived upon a large number of its islands. It is not improbable that he was an escaped convict, and ao. partly from choice, partly from necessity, preferred to spend his life beyond the reach of law. In this way the vagabond had spent a few months, or possibly years, on one island, and then, having exhausted the novelties of the place, and mode himself odious to the people, had succeeded, by means of some passing whaler or other vessel, in reaching another, and then another, and so. on until he had brought up where we found him, in a very unhappy condition, and ready for still another island. The American was a stout and hearty but demoralized youth, who had chosen to enter upon the same career, but had made what he considered an unhappy beginning on an island and among a people where he felt the rigors of the law in a degree he had never before dreamed of. They gave a long account of their experience among the people; and their statements, though necessarily to be taken with many grains of allowance, furnished some information concerning the native character anjl �IHE IItI I.

CiiNTnna-Tioxs or an enthusiastic scholnrin various departments ot Hawaiian literature ami science. In our issue for May we noticed his valuable workon the volcanoes of the Islands. Hy the last mail we have received this pamphlet, containing a translation of Mon. Remy's work, which President Alexander h.td previously translated, and Urge portions of which were published in the Friend for 1865. This work as now published contains sixty pages, und is most handsomely printed. For a vignette, he has a sketch of a weird-looking idol in the museum of Oahu College. It contains valuable information respecting ancient customs and history of Hawaiians. Mr. Brigham is to lie one of the editors of the Hawaiian Quarterly, to be published in .Boston. We rejoice to know that there are scholars engaged in studying the history, traditions, language and science of the Hawaiian Islands. These Islands are territorially small when compared with the great nations of the globe; so was ancient Greece, and yet Greece has been the study of scholars for more than two thousand years. Hawaii nei may be small territorially, but " great by position." i . — ClmpliiiH— Ktv. A. Uurkky, M. A. Suri/roii Wm. (Jarniichußj, M. I). Paymaster—V.. K. Miall. ChieJ iiutinrr,— Fred. A. Bulli-v.
