This enterprising firm has recently moved into their new store, which is really one of the most convenient, airy and well arranged buildings in the city. They must have had a large amount of goods stored away in outhouses and cellars which their old store would not allow them to keep on exhibition. If enterprise, advertising, prompt attention to business and pleasant ways ensure success, we are confident this establishment must succeed. In looking through this store, we cannot but express our wonder at the variety o( articles which modern civilization demands, and which the people require for housebuilding and house-keeping. Natives of this group have come to require all the appliances of civilised life. A recent visitor of much shrewdness and observation, remarked in our hearing that nothing surprised hint more in Honolulu than Dillingham & Co.'s hardware store. This store is as complete, if not as extensive, as you would find in the Eastern States or England. See Dillingham & Co.'s advertisements in the Advertiser and Gazette. If you are not satisfied with those and what we have written, just go and see (and buy) for yourselves. New Edition of Jarves' History of the Hawaiian Islands. Mr. Whitney deserves much credit for publishing a nice edition of Jarves' History. Although this is not a complete history of this kingdom, yet it is probably the best. At the time when first published—thirty years ago—it did more to bring the Hawaiian Kingdom before the world than any other hook or publication. Previously the world had been indebted to English and American voyagers and missionary journals for information, but this publication placed before the reading public a well written history of an Island Kingdom in the Pacific, which possessed all those elements of stability and good government which fully entitled it to be recognized as one of the great family of civilized nations. The real good which Mr. Jarves did thereby cannot be overestimated ; hence we have always regretted that the Hawaiian Government did not employ him lo prepare a full and complete history, fully illustrated. The late Mr. Wyllie collected materials for this purpose, and' Mr. Jarves consented to undertake the work, but did not receive the encouragement which we think he ought to have done. It may not be-even now too late for such an enterprise to be carried ont. Mr. Jarvis is a vigorous, terse and discriminating writer, and understands the work of sifting the materials which .should be incorporated iv a good history.

Oh .' hushed by ihe tender lesson, My God! let me rest In thee ! —Selected. Albany Bethel Preacher and Young English Nobleman. The following paragraphs appeared in a recent issue of the Albany Argus, New York, one of the most prominent newspapers of that city: Many of our citizens remember the old, square, block-like church, with its angular sides, dusty and faded in appearance, on the railroad track up a few rods north of the Delavan House, called the Albany Bethel, with a glaring sign announcing when services would be held, and that " strangers were cordially invited to attend." The building, its location, interior and surroundings were not more peculiar and eccentric than the pugilistic-looking pastor, the Rev. John Miles—who died a year or two ago near Schenectady. The pastor was a reformed gambler, who had seen all the low lands of infamy and sin and reformed, or, as he quaintly expressed it, "about-ship and stood square up to heaven." He was a man of great natural power, with a feverish burning energy, a harsh grating voice, and a wild startling imagination, handling the most stupendous themes with a reckless familiarity that alternately shocked and fascinated the listener. The subjects of his discourses were always pre-announced through the papers, like the following: " The Eleventh Hour, and Last Train Heavenward ;" " The Storm of Hell begun;" "The World on Fire," and so forth; all of a fearfully sensational character. Many prominent citizens \vou!_ drop in as occasional listeners to these sermons (although they were intended particularlyfor boatmen.) There was a remarkable genius or fire about this rough uncultivated roan. About the year 18— a young English nobleman, wild, reckless, and dissipated, but a man of some talent, paid a visit to Albany and was invited by the late John Van Buren (w hose guest he was) to go down to ihe "Bethel " and hear John Miles on Express Train; Through with"outSalvation's Change." It was a stormy afternoon and few were out. The pastor was in a particularly gloomy mood. Shaking hands all round as was his custom, Prince John thought it would be a good joke to tell the pastor who his distinguished auditors were ; accordingly in a majestic way (which he could assume with such ease as to almost bewilder a common man) be announced that he was John Van Buren, eon of the President, and that his companion was the heir of one of the noblest families in England. With a selfpossession fully equal to Prince John's dignity, the pastor shook them both by the hand *,nrl hoped they would nil met mi the othT SEPTEMBER, shore, beyond all distinctions of earth and time;. then walked into the pulpit, sang a hymn, prayed fervently for them, and commenced bis sermon. With more than wonted vehemence his imagination painted murky pictures of earth " as a great, dingy railroad station, damp, cold, uncomfortable and cheerless, every one waiting for tho train ; trains coming and going at all times, but few getting on ; hardly any one inquiring where the trains go, and a great many taking Owl trains, Wood trains, Construction trains, Emigrant and Way trains, &c, which are less attractive." Then he compared salvation to an " Express through train," without change—and applied it in a wild, startling manner to each hearer. The sermon ended, the pastor rushed down from the pulpit and grasping his two distinguished hearers by the hand, fervently urged them to get aboard Prince John and his " that trainwereat once." both serious, aud leff in a lordship thoughtful mood. And now comes the sequel, not particularly startling or strange, but it exhibits the power not often seen of single thoughts turning the entire destiny of life. A prominent citizen of Albany was traveling in England last summer and spent a Sunday in Manchester. Attending church he was so much pleased by the clear, eloquent sermon of the pastor, that he went forward and thanked him for it,after service. In the conversation that followed the name of Albany was mentioned. Said the pastor "All my religious training and preparation for the ministry date from a sermon I heard there by an eccentric sailor preacher." He then detailed the facts mentioned above, saying very impressively, " 1 think Mr. Van Buren was more seriously affected than I was, and if he could only have heard another sermon from that man, he might have been a preacher, as I am." This clergyman was no other than the nobleman who had thrown away all honors and titles to become a minister of the Gospel. He had probably heard (he most eloquent divines of the age—but not one of them touched his heart like the obscure pastor of the Albany Bethel. : The Great Seal Expedition. »w Los* the South Shetland Isles—Others Depttrtnre nf the Firat Ship from Hon lor I'rr-pnrloK lo Follow. On Thursday there was a sound of mirth and merriment in the quaint town of New London, which, with the exception of New Bedford, is the only important whaling station on the Atlantic coast of the United States. The reason of the festivity in New London was that the taut schooner E. B. Simmons was, within a few hours, to weigh her anchor and start on a sealing expedition to the South Shetland Isles, which are within ten days' sail of Cape Horn. On board of the little craft, which is a quick sailer, were gathered a goodly number of old sea-dogs, who came to drink the Captain's health, and wish him a fortunate voyage and thousands of prospective seal skins. The owner of the vessel, a Mr. Phillips, a furrier of this city, was on board, also Captain Morrison, of No. 109 South street, in this city, who is to engage the officers and crews for several of the ships about to leave for the inlands. In addition there were a large number of the prominent residents of N»w London present. 18.2. At last, amid great enthusiasm, the vessel got under way, and the crowd dispersed. She will call at the Cape Verde Islands and take on board several Portuguese negroes, to attend to the skinning of the seals and the rendering of the blubber. This vessel is the pioneer of some fifteen, others which are bound to the islands, the following being an approximate list of those now completing their equipment: The Francis AUen steamer of 120 tons now in this city; two sailing vessels from Stonington, six from New London, two from New York, sent out by the furriers. In addition to the foregoing, the Falkland Isles Trading Company, a powerful corporation, have expressed their intention of sending out vessels to the Shetland on sealing expeditions. Last year, it may be remembered, four vessels from New London sailed for the New Shetland Isles, and returned last May, each vessel having gained in a nine months' cruise over $60,000 apiece. Their names were the Franklin, Pent, Golden West and Pranris Allen, the latter now being in New York in course of being altered from a sailing ship to a steamer. Great interest is felt in these South Sea scheme by the fur trade in this city, who believe that immense fortunes will be made there by the seal fleet of this year. Furriers here state that the South Shetland sealskins are double as good as those from Alaska, and that they will realize, when dressed and tanned, prices"varying from $40 to $50 a piece. X. Y. Times, July 25th. — Good Templar Lodges in England.— Nearly five hundred Good Templar Lodges have been organized in EnglancTsince February last, and the number is now one thousand. Scotland has eight hundred Lodge* and eighty thousand members of Good Templars. It is not quite four years since tbe Order was planted in Great Britain, and with the same ratio of increase our co-laborers on the other side of the Atlantic will in a few years more outnumber us bere, where the Order has been in existence for many years. The Good Templars of Great Britain have no omnibus clap-trap nttachments to their work, and no dead-weight candidates for President. They go straight for tbe good of the cause, exclusive of political or any other outside consideration. Let the Good Templars of America, who should be first to furnish examples, strive to emulate the zeal and earnestness of their Brothers over tbe way, and success will follow. Let us fight it out on this line, and our labors will not have been vain and fruitless.—American paper.
