Eighteenth Annual Report of the Honolulu
Sailor’s Home Society.
• The opening of the new year reminds us
that the Constitution and Charter of the

new Trustees, and officers must be chosen.
In reviewing the year, it appears that the
falling off in the visits of whaleships to this
port has essentially diminished the number
of boarders. From the books it appears that
ihe number of senmen boarding at the Home
has been fifty-five, while a much larger number have lodged for a single night. The
lodging for a single night includes mostly
men-of-war's men ashore on liberty from the
English and American vessels. Many of
these men are very quiet and orderly, and it
is a great pleasure to such persons to have a
respectable and well-conducted lodging-house
while on shore.
The Reading Room and Depository have
been visited by many scores of seamen attached to vessels lying in port. The crew of
the English ship George Thompson, so
much appreciated the benefits conferred upon
seamen by the " Bethel," " Home," "Reading Room" and " Depository," that they
deputized one of their number to call upon
the Chaplain and express tkeir thanks, and
desired to acknowledge the indebtedness of
seamen to the friends and patrons of the institutions. I hope this fact will.encourage
the Y. M. C. A. in their efforts in sustaining
the Reading Room, which is so great a boon
to seamen and strangers visiting Honolulu.
Much of the usefulness of these various
methods for benefiting seamen and others, is
due to the constant attendance of Mr. Dunscombe, who is always ready to supply seamen yrith reading matter from the Depository,

American Home Life at Christmas.
Miss Fredrika Bremer, in her book entitled " The Homes of the New World,"
has sketched many charming and delightful
homes scattered through America, from the
Atlantic to the Falls of Minnehaha, in Minnesota. To understand and appreciate the
American people, it is requisite to visit them
in their quiet rural homes, away from the
great centres of business and lines ofrailroad
travel. One of our correspondents has
briefly sketched one of these homes situated
in Ohio, the very heart of the nation, which
may be taken as a type of ten thousand such
in other parts of the widely extended country. " Aunt Jeannie " and "Little Martha "
are names we shall not erase, because they
too are typical, although the characters are
not fanciful, for they are like the " Old
Town Folks " of Mrs. Stowe, which are
said to be found in every town in New England. If our limits would allow, we might

scene in Ohio, a New England Thanksgiving sketch.

In May of the following year (1831) the
trustees purchased their present site upon
Staten Island, consisting of a farm containing 130 acres of land, for the sum of 810.000.
Subsequently they purchased 21 acres more,
with a water-privilege, which had been originally a part of this farm, bat had been sold,
and was used for manufacturing purposes,
the price paid for this part of the property
being $6,000. These two parcels of land now
constitute the farm and grounds of the Sailors' Snug Harbor. At a still later period the
trustees added to the farm, by lease, 36 acres
of excellent woodland.
In October, 1831, was laid the corner-stow:
of.the main building, which, over a marblo
foundation, was built of brick, two stories
high, with a portico supported by eight Doric
pillars in Vermont marble. A broad flight ol
marble steps leads to the main entrance, and
the centre of the roof supports a low cupola
of an oval shape. This building, embracing
all of what was then the Sailors' Snug HaFbor, was completed in 1833, and formally
opened on the Ist of. August of that year with
great festivities, furnishing a home for thirty
aged and worn-out sailors.
Subsequently two wings were added to
the main building, and connected with* this
by two covered corridors of one story each.
These wings are built of the same material,
and are of the same height as the main building, and are wholly occupied by sleeping
apartments. The centre or main building
has a frontage of 65 feet, with a depth of 100
feet; wch of the two wings is 51 feet by 100;
and the connecting corridors are each 39 feet
6 inches in length. Later yet the rear building was erected, of dimensions nearly similar
to those of the main building, but threr
stories in height, the two upper stories being
partitioned off into lodging and sleeping
rooms.
In front of the main building is the marble monument erected over the remains of
the founder, which were in August, 1834,
removed hither from their original place of
to rest.

We regret that our narrow limits will not
permit us to copy more from this interesting

discharge he killed three persons at one
house, as fast as they came to him at tho
door. The people were exceedingly outraged
by the murder, and in almost any other community in this country ho would have been
lynched. A Universalist minister and several other kind-hearted people urged Mr.
Seward to defend the wretch. He was overrun with business and at first declined, but
gave way finally. The trial occupied i>
month. The Prosecuting Attorney was assisted by John Van Buren, then Attorney
General. The Judge and jury were opposed
to the prisoner from the* beginning, and ho
was refused change of venue. A conviction
followed. Mr. Seward held that the man
was insane, made so by ill treatment while
in prison. He then appealed to the Governor (Silas Wright) to suspend sentence
until points could be carried to the Supreme
Court. This was refused. Mr. Seward then
sought out one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court and argued the case in chambers. A
writ of supersedeas was granted and a new
trial ordered.
All this time there was a great clamor kept
up against Seward, but so sure was he that
justice had not been done that he kept on his
way steadily. After his return, he prevailed
upon the Judge who had tried the case to
visit Freeman in prison. The Judge was
astonished to find that the prisoner was unmistakably insane and in a dying condition.
He was much affected, and, turning to Mr.
Seward, said " Mr. Seward, you were right,
and we were all wrong; the man shall never
be tried again." Soon afterward Freeman
died, and a post mortem developed the fact
that his brain was almost destroyed by disease. This case added much to Seward's
fame, both as a lawyer and a just man in
the end, (hough it had made him excessively
unpopular for a time. His defense of Freeman was pronounced by Gladstone the ablest
defense in the English language. An English gentleman said, "You forget Huskisson." Gladstone replied, "I do not forget—
there is nothing in the English language
equal to the defense." The defense mi

The Sad Case of James C. King.
The career of this man as a book-keeper
and merchant is so well known to our readers on the islands, that we need make no
apology for inserting the following sketch of
another sufferer under his lawless and revengeful, guilty and murderous hand. If
any one deserves to suffer the extreme penalty of the law, we think it must be this
man, who escaped with far too light a punkhment for shooting his father-in-law, and
now appears to have deliberately taken the
of another of his fellow-men, not to menn his repeated acts of fraud and swindling:
The Murdered O'Neill—Anthony Frant O'Neill— The subject of this sketch was
m in Glamorganshire, in Wales, on theBth
y, of June, 1840, and at the age of eight
years came to this country with his parents
and settled in Boston, Mass. He was educated as a civil engineer and draughtsman,
is
but about the year 1861 entered the navy,
and was rapidly promoted until he became a
lieutenant, and had command of three different gunboats on the Mississippi, and participated in seventeen engagements, the most
important of which was that before the forts
below New Orleans. He bore an excellent
reputation among his fellow officers for personal courage. After the war he resigned
from the navy and practiced his profession
at Boston Highlands, Mass., where he continued until he received an appointment as
freight agent of the Erie Railway Company
in October, 1869, which position he held at
the time bf his death, which occurred on the
18th inst., he having been shot by one James
C. King, against whom the deceased had
testified in a suit for divorce brought by Mrs.
■ling against her husband, Mrs. King haypreviously found a shelter Hnd home
the deceased and his wife.. Mr. O'Neill's
K
I),
¥KBRI A R V ,
relatives state that when all the facts connecting him with the case in which he lost
his life are made public, it will reflect great
credit upon the deceased, and vindicate him
against every reproach. His wife says of
him: "He wi.s a good man, a kind and
faithful husband, and a loving father. He
lost his life in saving that of a noble, truehearted and much injured woman." She
further says that " since his marriage he
never placed his head upon his pillow at
night without commending his soul to God."
He was esteemed among his friends and acquaintances as an exemplary ni. His
funeral took place on WednesdayTrom St.
Stephen's church, and was attended by a
large number of his friends and acquaintances.— World.
Who is "Edward Garrett?"
Some years ago we read a charming English story, entitled, " Occupations of a Retired Life," by " Edward Garrett." We have
often wondered who the author might be. An
American correspondent of the New York
Observer now traveling in England, gives
the following sketch of this hitherto mysterious personage, over whose name the significant motto of Junius has hitherto stood—
" Stat umbra : "
1 am able to answer this question. I
have seen the author, Edward Garrett, and
have enjoyed the hospitalities of the author's
house. Through the kindness of Dr. Guthrie
I was introduced to Mrs. Mayo, of London,
who is Edward Garrett. She is now twentynine years of age, and was married two years
ago to John R. Mayo, Esq., solicitor, .of
London. Mrs. Mayo's maiden name was
Isabella Fivey. Her father was a baker, who
lived over his own shop, near Charing Cross,

writer in the " Sunday Magazine" since
George McDonald has gone to America.
Mrs. Mayo is now writing in serial numbers for the Sunday Magazine," " Crooked '•
Places," which will not be concluded for
about one year.
"
"It has been decided in executive circles
that the official receptions for the season will
set an example of strict temperance."—Hatchange paper.
In one of our American exchanges we find
the above item mentioned. It is highly gratifying to learn from this and other sources,
that temperance principles are gradually
gaining ground at Washington. " The
Bar" has been banished from the Capitol,
and other reformatory measures adopted.
The advocates of whiskey appear to hold on
to their old demoralizing habits and prac
tices with as tenacious a grasp as the slave
holders did upon their human chattels.
Whiskey and its attendant evils are a gwate
curse than slavery ever was. The natioi
expends hundreds of millions lor alcoholi
drinks, and some of the noblest and best
men are the sad victims of intemperance.
We should rejoice to hear that there was an
uprising of the people against the great evils
brought upon the nation by intemperance.
A gentleman at Rome writes to the
Rev. John Macdougall, of Florence : "In

Samoa.
Our readers willremember that some month* sinoe,
there was considerable talk in newspapers about the
offer made by the native,authorities of the Navigator
Islands to cede the sovereignty of the group to the
United States, and that Commander Meade of the
JVarragantell had made a treaty, whereby a harbor
(Tutuila) Into been secured as a naval depot and
coaling stiitia*. We have been permitted to make
the following interesting extracts from a letter recently received in this city from one of the English
Wesleyan missionaries stationed in Samoa :
"The natives of this group are still continuing
their strife. The war is carried on in a very desultory manner. They profess now to be waiting the
arrival of a definite reply from America with respect
to the proposed annexation. You may perhaps like
to know the views of our mission on this subject. I
think I may state them generally in a few word*.
There is such a lack of authority in any of the
chiefs, so many rival interests which are constantly
giving rise to quarrels, and so much jealousy lest one
should become greater than tbe other, that we are
hopeless of seeing a settled form of government if
the Samoans are left to themselves. The natives also
feel this, and the better part of them have long
wished cither England or America to come and help
them. The last war hag made the desire for foreign
help stronger than before. Consequently the protectorate of America, or tbe annexation of tbe Islands,
if tbe U. 8. Government does not leave them to the
tender mercies of speculators bat takes a paternal
interest in the welfare of the people, will be welcomed
by nearly all.
We shall welcome the establishment of a government in the Islands by the United States which will
do justice to the natives, if such be the intention of
the promoters of annexation. We sincerely hope that
the Island* will not be left in the bands of a private
and irresponsible company, but anything determined
on and carried out by the U. S. -Government will
"
"
secure our hearty
support.
" The Romish priests are doing all they can to stir
up a spirit of resistance. We, on the other hand,
advise tbe people to wait quietly for the decision of
the United States; and, should tbe annexation be
completed, to go heartily into the movement an.
secure for themselves peace and quietness and such
institutions as shall help them to advance in all that
is good.
An immense quantity of land ha* been sold to
the Polynesian Land Co.,' and to other* in the
Islands. Many of the sales have been made by individuals who had no right whatever to tbe land, and
a great deal ha* been sold two or three times by different purchaser*. There will be land disputes in
abundance to settle, either by justice or by might, as
soon a* the annexation ia completed; and if America
rejects* the offer, or leave* them in the hands of a
private company, there is no knowing what may be
the next. The native war ha* been kept on much
longer than it would have lasted through the instigation of foreign settlers, who have purchased land of
one war party which they pretend to have obtained
by right of conquest, bat which they cannot hold."

The election on Saturday last to all the
vacant seat of a Representative for Honolulu, resulted in the choice of Mr. J. P. Green, by a small
majority. The principal advantage that may accrue
tor the gentleman elected, will be that he will have
a *ort of pre-emption claim to be again elected
next year.
