Wood.—This gentleman formerly commanding the clipper Oracle, occasionally touching ot Honolulu, we learn has become one of the proprietors of the Sacramento Daily Record, a large paper corresponding in size to the Union. He is also a leading manager of the Reecm, a Temperance paper, the organ of the Good Templars of California. He is a most thorough-going advocate of the Temperance Reform. At the California State Temperance Convention, held in San Francisco last April, he delivered an address on " the Relations of the Liquor traffic to the financial interests of the State." This address is now circulated in pamphlet form. It is a matterr of sincere rejoicing to learn that Capt. Wood is thus actively engaged in promoting the welfare of the State of California. He is a man who believes in newspapers and their support. We remember his coming a stranger to our office in 1867 or 8, while in command of the Oracle, and subscribing for about 20 copies of the Friend, and sending them for a year and more to his friends in British colonies, Great Britain and the United States. He did not forget to pre-pay subscription and postage. We trust subscribers to the Record and the Rescue may be equally prompt and generous, and that the most ample success majMttend Capt.

E. Dwinell, D. D., Pastor of the first Congregational Church of Sacramento, California. It was delivered on the 10thanniversary of his settlement. It contains many interesting historical allusions, and references to the city of Sacramento and State of California. We were somewhat surprised to read the following paragraph: " This is the last Sabbath of a ten years' ministry in Sacramento. I have been for sometime the longest settled Pastor in the State of any denomination. Ten years in changeful California is a long period." This fact surely indicates an unsettled state of ecclesiastical affairs, relating to the permanency of the Pastoral office. In the future a different result may be expected. In the spring of 1869, it was our privilege to listen to an interesting discourse of Dr. Dwinell, at the opening of the Pacific Railroad. He is a man of fine scholarship, and we are not surprised that his parish is much attached to their Pastor. Sometime since he declined the invitation to become a Professor in the Pacific Theological Seminary. We have taken a peculiar interest in reading this Memorial Sermon," because it was our "privilege to visit Sacramento, during the summer of 1849, ere any church was built or a Minister of the Gospel of any denomination had arrived. Very soon, however, the Rev. Dr. Benton commenced his labors there. Now the city is supplied we know not with how many churches, probably not less than twenty. A Boston writer says that men do not kill themselves so much by overwork as by inattention to the common laws of health. They eat at improper hours, they do not exercise, they neglect the prime essential, sleep, they break down, and overwork gets the blame. A man is like an engine; he will stand a certain amount of high pressure and no more. Half the quarrels and litigations in the world are caused by bad digestion, and we think he is pretty nearly correct. S. P. Aheong.—Letters from this wellknown Chinaman, were received by a laf% mail from China. ■ He still remains in Swatow with his family, and is engaged in teaching an English school for his countrymen. He has about twenty pupils. If satisfactory arrangements could be made, he would be exceedingly glad to return to the Hawaiian Islands. Catling's Gun.—Having frequently read notices of this famous gun in American newspapers, we were much interested in examining two specimens met with on board the Russian and American vessels of war, now in our port. We first saw that on board the Russian, and were surprised to be told that it would discharge 200 charges per minute. The officer remarked that it was an American invention but had been improved upon in Russia. Having occasion to visit the Portsmouth we made enquiry for a Gatling." Much to our surprise, Captain Skerrett remarked, that there was a possibility of discharging 400 charges per minute. He furthermore stated upon the authority of the First Lieutenant, Mr. Clark, who witnessed the experiment, that a "Gatling" had been found capable of hitting a target at 800 yards, 399 times out of 400 shots. After the first shot, %* gun was j;arefuliv adjusted, and this result followed. Such are the facilities that the gun can be worked by three men, and in its working the gun moves back and forward so that the bullets will mow down a regiment of soldiers, when in line, at a half mile distance. Not being skillful at maneuvering a gun or describing the working of a " Gatling," we may not have conveyed a very intelligible idea to the reader, but we must add, that we hope "Gatling's " and other kinds of gunnery will become so perfect and destructive that nations " will be afraid to go to war, and will resort "Geneva" to settle their difficulties rather than to the battle-field. The inventor of this famous gun, Dr. Gatling, was, we believe, a volunteer in the late civil war, and a citizen of Indiana. to �IHK 74 KR I E Ml. SKFTI ■ B E R , I&.

Heathen classic literature—types of beauty, which are the heritage of the Greek and " Behold if any M), picture. This is something of the picture, bare of coloring. The shadows of the night are fast deepening; deepening till they dim the fair landscape, as a pall covers darkly something we love. As the light fades, still stars gleam ia the sky, not silver-clear and bright, and not as harbingers of hope. Through the gloom you see gaunt fruit trees fruitless. In some merry spring time, you might fancy there were buds and blossoms here, pledges of golden fruitage. In the chill and damp of the night air we hear the moaning of the wind among the leaves; see the scattered, withered fruit. Surely no one lives in this lonely, deserted spot. Yet before you stands a door. There must be some dweller here. It is so closely barred, with bolt and hinge, so cruelly unfriendly and forbidding, one may never hope again to gain admittance. Long ago must this portal have been closed, perhaps in that same far-away spring, when birds sang blithely and there was sunshine everywhere. Vines and shrubs are knotted and tangled, chainlike, between you and this " strange, mysterious door;" tall, rank grass and weeds are about your feet; saddest neglect is pictured everywhere. What is the meaning of all this gloom ? Near this door stands One on whose brow is a kingly coronet, shadowed by another wreath, which is of thorns. From His shoulders hangs a mantle, richly wrought, on His feet are sandals, pressing close on grasses, sear and old. Light glimmers faintly from a curious lantern which He bears. Welook up. His hand is on the door; He is knocking. There is more light coming through the darkness. We look closely, eagerly. The hand is pierced. " He was wounded for our transgressions, he. was bruised for our iniquities." About the head shines a halo, by it stars are dimmed. There is hope ; we recognize the risen Christ." Patiently " waiting, "ever knocking," He stands through the darkness and night, til) His locks are " wet with the dew of the morning." Only to such a one would this door open. Does it ever ? Shall this darkness give place to light ? Will fruit ever hang in rich clusters on these now barren boughs ? He. alone can answer, who with solemn, tender words still says to all, " Behold, I stand at the door and Roman mind, and out-growths of a sensuous mythology and a pagan creed—and existing relics of ancient genius have deepened full enough the coloring of Christian art and poetry of the past and presegt age. The highest triumphs in mediaeval painting and sculpture, (achieved in those days, when after a slumber of ages, the world was made glad by the awakening to a new life of those grand principles of beauty, which can never really die) bear the impress of those old time artists who wrought, it is true, most wonderfully, yet not in the light of a divine revelation. Many who have been annointed with the chrisnWf poetic inspiration, have risen but partially above the influence of mere earthborn beauty, though possessed of themes, new and heavenly. We are too rudely awakened from the " vision beatific."

That in the sublime Bible narratives lie the most glorious opportunities for the enlightened artist and poet, none can doubt. The sweetest strains of earthly music fade away amid the melody of the angelic chorus, and the harpings of that heavenly host. The grandest ideals of antique art are dwarfed before those lives and principles, God-blessed and given, which are there sculptured for eternity. Aye, all else is forgotten in the presence of One, before whom we bow, lost in the glory of that wondrous beauty,of which the Morning stars sang for joy," which is " the " Song of the Redeemed."

After breakfast I occupy myself with my studies for a while, and then, when in town, I walk down to the office of the Eneniny Post, nearly three miles distant, and after about three hours, return, always walking, whatever be the weather or the state of the streets.

I do not often drive out, preferring to walk. In the country I dine early, and it is only at that meal I take either meat or fish, and of these but a moderate quantity, making my dinner mostly of vegetables. At the meal which is callsd tea, I take only a little bread and butter, with fruit, if it be on the table. In town, where I dine late, I make but two meals a day. Fruit makes a considerable part of my diet, and I eat it a*t almost any hour of the day without any inconvenience. My drink is water, yet I sometimes, though rarely, take a glass of wine. lam a natural temperance man, finding myself rather confused than exhilarated by wine.

The Doctor, with Mrs. Adams and native guides, mode the ascent of Mauna Loa on the 9th of the present month, arriving at the summit at night, after a somewhat toilsome journey. The crater was quite aotivc, though the jets of lava were not so high as luring the eruption of last year. The weather was intensely cold, and Dr. Adams' party returned to Kilauea on the 10th, which crater they found also active, as it has been for some time past. —A letter Irom Mr. -1. I).

The Imperial GeographicalSociety lias made use ol its special advantages to send out an experienced Siberian traveler, M. Tachekanowakl, on nn expedition, which ia welt equipped and supplied for two years. The exploring party, which haa already set out in sledges from Irkutsk, is to follow the Tunguska, a branch of the Upper Yenisei, until It reaches thePolar Basin, and to survey the vast unknown region that skirts that part of the Frozen Ocean which contains the New Siberian Islands. The return route Is to be by way of the Valley of the Lena aud Yakutsk, and the hitherto unknown regions of Arctic Siberia, which Alexander Yon Humboldt eagerly desired to explore. It is believed that in these higher portions of Siberia is to be found enormous mineral wealth in gold, silver, precious stones, and coal. Observations made upon the geology and meteorology of the coldest region of the globe cannot fail to be of value, even if the hopes of finding n Northern El Dorado remain unsatisfied. Perhaps the possibility of finding that the frozen North may containactualand tangible gold will deprive "practical" economists of their sole argument against pushing on Arctic discovery as quickly as possible. Russia is, above all tilings, a practical nation, and deserves to reap the full fruits of her energy—at least, when directed northwards.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Many of the old residents will remember Dr. Winslow's residence at Lahaina, more than a quarter of a century ago. It is gratifying to learn that he has not forgotten his old friends and the natives, respecting whom he speaks in a most kindly manner, while he thinks the missionaries have not been altogether successful in teaching the Hawaiians the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, still they have done much good : On the whole, their success as a civilizing and christianizing power, the Doctor did not think has been so great as the contribu tors of funds to the American Board had been lead to believe. The natives were never a bad people. But they had boundles* respect and affection for their teachers, gen- " •■ erally speaking. The missionaries were strictly temperate, and taught temperance." He thus remarks upon the success of the missionaries in the training of their own children : " The action of the missionaries in moral respects was especially conspicuous in the training of their large families of children. So many excellent and honorable young men and women he had never known presented by the same number of parents to society, educated, promising and useful in the various paths of active life, as had been brought up by the Protestant Missionaries, sent first and last to the Sandwich Islands."

M. C. A. "nounces to his congregation when he gives consumed 18,843 gallons. Church Singing. The body of plain dissenting churches have never yet attained to any harmony of practice, or satisfactory performance in the service of sacred song. The old sublime ritual of praise has been set aside with other elaborate ceremonies of public worship, and very little has been substituted in its place. Some churches have what they call congregational singing, in which this part of Divine worship is left hap-hazard to'the congregation and a musical burlesque supported by a few devout but discordant volunteers is often the miserable -result. Other churches have their singing done by contract by a paid choir of experts, just as they engage a a sexton to do their bell ringing, and they succeed in obtaining by this revolting practice correct musical expression and often doubtless very artistic performances but at the costly sacrifice of the song worship of the congregation. Between these two extremes are found.all modifications of both systems, churches where a large choir made up from tho congregation do die praising for the rest; churches in which the choir do the chants, anthems, etc., and perhaps two of the hymns, leaving to the congregation the privilege of praising the Lord in the last hymn ; churches in which the congregation may assist the choir in all the hymns, in which case it generally happens that they arc so overpowered by the cultivated preparation of the latter and its apparent superiority to all need of assistance, that their effort is feeble and ineffective instead of being the glad, unanimous outburst of praise which God delights in and which lifts men nearer to Him. The church should be satisfied with nothing less than a service of song in which all may participate. A service consisting of a sermon, prayer by the minister, sacred music by the choir, is little more than a combined concert and lecture of a serious cast; better go back to the singing boys, responses and reverent forms of our brethren the ritualists. There seems no reason why, with real religious enthusiasm and a determination to make public worship what its name implies —the hearty worship of each attendant—the service of singing may not be established in its true position i.s the medium by which the multitude may unite in praise, confession and supplication before the Father of all. The happiest success has been reached where this object has* been faithfully sought, and here and there nre churches where out the hymn, and God is worshipped with a hearty enthusiasm that carries the listener along in its flow. Spurgeon's church in England and John flail's in America have no choir except the assembled throng who rise and sing to the leadership of a clear, distinct voice from the pulpit or platform. In Beecher's church the grand congregational singing assisted by the choir is thrilling in its effect, and shows that the presence of a choir need not injuriously affect this exercise, which is second to none in importance in the strength anil reach of its good In 1863 the consumption fell off to 7,862 gallons.
