This vessel has again returned to our port, after making another of her most useful cruises among the islands, reefs and shoals, known and unknown in the Pacific. Her late cruise has been along the Line, or over that part of the Pacific where are situated Christmas Island, Palmyra Island, Washington Island and Fanning's Island. From a rapid glance at the track of the vessel as drawn out upon the chart, we should infer that a pretty thorough exploration has been made. Capt. Skerrett and his officers found it to be no holiday employment, for example to survey Christmas Island in a sailing vessel, as it was well known that island was found to be laid down far from correctly on the Admiralty Chart, published as late as» 1870. This is the island where so many vessels have been totally wrecked during the last hilf century. We recall the following: A Danish ship, name unknown, Pulsford, Briton, J. C. Frtmotit, Maria Helena and Mozart. It was on Christmas Island that Past Midshipmen Stevens, (now Commodore Stevens) with his wife and son (now Thos. Stevens Master of the U. S. Navy), and several other passengers were wrecked in the Maria Helena, on the 20th of December, 1847, bound for New Bedford. They were there detained until the following Spring, in the mean time a small vessel was constructed from the wreck and dispatched to Honolulu. Here there was found the French vessel of war Sarcelk, which immediately left and rescued all those upon the island. If any one will compare the old Charts with the new ones as drawn by the draftsman of the Portsmouth, Mr. Bayer, be- will not be surprised that these vessels should have been wrecked, hence we hope for the interests of commerce and shipping, new charts will be immediately ex.ecu.te4 wad for- �18 .

Much labor was expended by Capt Skerrett and his officers in surveying the other islands we have named, charts of which have already been MARCH, 187 4. apparatus for taking deep sea-soundings, and the instruments for doing this work, appear to be very simple and admirably adapted to the purpose. A wheel, not larger than a tolerably sized grindstone, has wound upon it from 4 to 5 miles of No. 22 steelpiano wire, weighing in water about 12 lbs to the statute mile, with a breaking strain of from 210 to 230 lbs. The Brooke detaching apparatus and sinker is used—the latter an S inch aheet weighing 55 lbs, with a hole 2 \ inches in diameter bored through the centre. At every cast the sinker is detached and left on the bottom—milestones perhaps for the geologist of the distant future. Specimens of bottom mud are brought up every time in cups or cylinders devised by Com. G. E. Belknap. The sounding drum or reel with dynamometer was invented by Sir Wm. Thomson of Glasgow University. The Tuscarora under command of Com. Belknap, left San Diego, California, and made a* straight course as possible for Honolulu, not deviating more than 12 or 15 miles from as straight line. The distance is 2,200 miles. It is designed to " sound " once every forty miles. During the passage of the vessel 62 soundings were made. At the 49th cast, after leaving the American coast the sounding was made at 3,054 fathoms. The mean depth between the 1900 fathoms curve near San Diego to the 2100 fathoms curve close to Oahu was found to be 2,562 fathoms. Beginning at the above mentioned 1900 fathoms curve latitude 30 ° 43' North, longitude 119 p 28' West, the depth increased 494 fathoms in a distance of 600 miles, the next 1050 miles the water only deepens 286 fathoms. While the 500 miles further on and approaching the islands the increase is 3515 fathoms. The extraordinary depths of forwarded to Washington. Palmyra Island has always beenlaid down upon charts of the Pacific as only one body of land or one island, whereas it was found to be made up of about sixty islets, large and small, including three lagoons. The opening is to the westward. The islets are low, the highest not over six feet above the water. Shortly after leaving Honolulu the Portsmouth searched, in vain, for Papapa Rock, reported by Capt. Gellett and others, as existing about sixty miles S. S. W. from Kawaihoa, Niihau. The position of Papapa examined was that obtained from Capt. Gellett, and the English Charts. Capt. James Smith said he had seen it, but gave no position. We can hardly find words to express our estimation of the importance of the work in which the Portsmouth is engaged. We only regret that tne Secretary of the Navy could not have furnished a steamer instead of a sailing vessel. It will be a most rare good fortune if the Portsmouth is not laid up on some reef or shoal, before this work is completed. We once made a cruise in the Morning Star among the low islands and reefs of Micronesia, where the Portsmouth is yet to cruise, and we can testify that dangers are neither few nor easy to be avoided in a sailing vessel, hence the more reason why these islands and reefs should be accurately and thoroughly explored and surveyed. More vessels ought to be engaged in the work and kept at it for the next ten years. War ships in times of peace could not surely be more usefully employed. Such work will make keen sighted, shrewd, practical men of our and 2056 fathoms were found at disnaval officers, bringing them into active 3023 tances of only 43 miles and 24 miles from sympathy with our commercial marine.

Com. Belknap and his able corps of officers appear to be enthusiastic in the details of this arduous undertaking, working night and day; for it n-quires the work to be carried on at night as well as the day. On the departure of the vessel she will carry forward the same system of observation, during her passage to Japan, touching at the Bonin Islands. Thence she will proceed homeward via the Alleutian Islands to Puget Sound, and thus com-plete a large circle of deep sea soundings. When reflecting upon the contributions to the cause of science, which such a cruise as that of the Titscarora is to make during her passage across the Pacific, we cannot refrain from expressing our admiration of the enterprise, and our regret that more of our vessels of war are not engaged in such noble enterprises. It would surely be most advantageous to the cause of science and commerce, while it gives, during times of peace, most useful and elevating employment to the officers of the navy, thus bringing into practical use the knowledge acquired at Annapolis Navy School. Changes in the Population of New England. For two hundred years after the settlement of New England or from 1620 to 1820, there were but few changes in the population of New England. There was a purely English type to the inhabitants. During the last half century a rapid change has been in progress. Thousands and tens of thousands have gone forth to settle new States and Territories. Ohio, Illinois, Michigan,lowa,Minnesota and California have received large accessions to thoir population from New England. # The vacuum has been filled up, not by the natural growth of the original English stock, but by large numbers from Ireland, Canada, England and other countries. A most vivid picture of this change or revolution may be witnessed in some of the smaller towns. By a late mail we received a " Memorial Discourse," by the Rev. W. P. Paine, D. D., on the fortieth anniversary of his settlement over the Congregational Church in Holden, Massachusetts. This town happens to be our native place, and of course we have taken special delight in reading this discoure. As this " t^Himent • �I H h KKIK.MJ. contains so many facts relating to the change of population in that small township, we deem some ofthem worthy of notice, because they are illustrative of New England at large. Holden is situated in the very center and heart of Massachusetts, and was formerly the North Half of Worcester, from which it was set off in 1741, hence it has been a township by itself, for one hundred and thirty-three years. It is a good specimen or type of a New England country town. In the year 1800, it had a population of 1,142; in 1820, a population of 1,402; 1840, 1,718, and a|«he last general census of the United Stalk in 1870, we find that its population had increased to 2,062. A fifth part of this population or 421, of the present inhabitants were persons of foreign birth. The following extracts from Dr. Paine's discourse will illustrate the above statements: "The present pastorate has embraced a period more difficult than any preeceeding one in New England's history, to keep in vigorous and progressive operation religious institutions in country towns. Forty years ago rail-roading was in its infancy, and had done little to stimulate business. There were not many centers of trade and industry, or of population, except in few cities on the sea-board. Agriculture was the chief employment in rural districts; and having little Western competition, was profitable and generally satisfactory. There being little to invite young men and women to leave the localities of their nativity, they remained at or near their early homes. Seldom did the precious old homestead go out of the family, but descended from father to son for generations, and besides, those were days of larger families than are now usually found in our native American homes. The result of this state of things was a country population in almost every place, at least holding its own and in most localities increasing. And the men and women of those days were of strong and sterling character, with the religious element largely developed, who cheerfully sustained, by their contributions, influence and presence, the institutions of the Church, providing also funds for schools which were attended by a large number of sturdy scholars who were taught to obey rules and to conduct themselves with propriety. Such essentially was the state of things in this place at the commencement of my pastorate. There was not thena foreigner in the town, and nearly the entire population of suitable age and condition, attended public worship somewhere and rendered pecuniary assistance in sustaining the same. Probably there are not now more than twenty-five dwelling houses (certainly less than thirty) in the entire town, occupied by those, or their descendants, who inhabited them at the time of my settlement. The family name has gone from them, and not a few have changed ownership many times. This is a marvellous change compared with proceeding periods of the same length. It would doubtless • MARCH, 187 4 name. It may also be mentioned, as indicative of the great changes which a series of years may produce in a community, that not more than eight or nine couples, sustaining the relation of husband and wife, who resided in Holden at the time of my settlement are now here with the union undissolved by death. But let it by no means be understood that all changes, which have occurred, should be put to the account of loss. Many of them have materially swelled the column of gain. This is doubtless true to a greater extent here than in many places where the percentage of change has been the same as ours. But mutability like this, in parochial affairs, cannot but render all religious interests comparatively uncertain and unsystematic, being the occasion of anxious watching and careful planning, and not unfrequently laying heavy burdens upon the ready and willing. I wish here to bear witness that during my ministry, and to this day there have been a goodly number of men and women, both older and younger, who have evinced a highly commendable degree of interest in sustaining the institutions of religion in this community, and in making generous and cheerful provision for the wants and comfort of the pastor. " Dividing the forty years into decades, I married during the first ten years one hundred and twenty-three couples ; the second ten, one hundred and three; the third ten, fifty-five, and the fourth ten, sixty-seven. The first ten years I married more than during the last twenty. This difference is largely due to a change in population, in respect to both age and nationality. " I have attended more than u thousand funerals, which have taken me to a large portion of the dwellings of this town. In running my thoughts over the place I indeed find scarcely any, except a few more recently erected, to which I have not been called on this sad errand, and to many over and over again. " I have preached about four thousand sermons, and spent with you more than five years and a half of time in Sabbaths. I have administered the sacrament of the Lord's Supper about two hundred and forty times. While I had strength to devote much time and labor to interests outside of pastoral works, 1 regarded it both a duty and priviledge to afford direct aid in the promotion of the prosperity of our schools, both common and select. I served as chairman of the school committee thirty-four years, and derived much satisfaction from the exercises of the school-room, and the intimate acquaintance 1 formed and kept up with the successive classes of scholars. There are not now nearly so many who attend our schools as there were forty years ago, and so on for twenty or thirty years after my settlement. In several districts the present number is not half so large as in those days, and moreover . 19 fifth in the Winter and Spring of 1843, the sixth in the Spring of 1950, the seventh in the Spring of 1851, the eighth in the Winter and Spring of 1866, the ninth in 1857-8 and the tenth in 1889. A very large proportion, indeed nearly all who have united with the church during my pastorate were the fruits of these revivals. The church has not been altogether unproductive in some special fruits. At least eleven of her sons have received a college education during this period, and several others previously. At least seven have become ministers of the Gospel and seven young women have married ministers within this time. Since the commencement of the enterprise of Foreign Missions two from this church have gone on missions to Turkey, two to Africa, three to the Sandwich Islands, two to the Indians of our own country and two to labor for the Freedmen. 0( this number all, with two exceptions, have gone from us during my pastorate. Few country churches or indeed city churches can furnish a record of numbers for such service equal to this." There are three churches in the town, viz: Congregational, Baptist and Catholic. The existence of a Catholic Church in a small New England town, indicates most forcibly the change in the population, for a half century ago there were but few Catholic churches in any part of New England. The rapid increase has been to accommodate the large accession to the population from Ireland and Canada. Large numbers of French Catholic Canadians have come to New England to labor on the farms and work in the manufacturing villages. During a visit to our native town in 1869, a native of Ireland informed us that at least thirty farms in the town had been purchased by his countrymen from the Emerald Isle." " In view of such rapid and radical changes as are now in progress, it becomes a question of serious moment, What is to be the " future of New England f " Although we have left that part of the world and never expect again to make it our home, still we feel as we have always felt, a deep interest in its history, institutions and prosperity. We find our thoughts continually recurring to our native town, so cosily nestled among the hills of New England and under the shadow of Wachusett Mountain. It was so named after Samuel Holden, a director of the Bank of England, London merchant, and member of Parliament. The family was decidedly Puritanic, and took much interest in the prosperity of New England. After his death, from an estate of £80,000, •• Holden Chapel " was built in Cambridge, Massachu- pupils then continued their connection with schools to a later and more mature period of life than is customary now, which it seems setts.

In those early historical researches, we found our lines of investigation continually running back to old colonial times, and from thence to Old England, called by Hawthorne, the American's Old Home." It was a study of New England history, which made us feel so strong a desire to visit England, and when that privilege was granted us, we felt more and more, that England and America were linked by family bonds and kindred ties, which ought never to be sundered by the hoarse sounds of war or any other cause. While looking back with su<;h loving regard to New England and to Old England, our love for " Hawaii nei "is strong and abiding. Here we have found a pleasant home, and we feel strongly attached to the people of these islands, both aboriginal and foreign. The present troubles which have come upon the people and kingdom, only make us feel a strong desire that these clouds of adversity may soon pass away and the sun of prosperity may again •shine upon us. " I»7 4 Our Late King. The people's King has passed away. We do not wonder that they loved him. There were noble traits in his character, although blurred by foibles. He never failed to express his sympathy for the common people, and his will—an outline of which will be found in another column—is in beautiful harmony with his democratic principlesThen too, his marked affection for his mother and desire that his remains should finally repose near hers, in the old Mission Cemetery, will always be spoken of with admiration. May his successors profit by their reflections upon his eventful but short reign of only one year. Peace to his memory. Our sympathies go out towards his venerable and honored father, and long may his kindly presence be seen amongst us. .

Christianity their better minds yield, at least, a passive assent to it. And very many of them have proven by their actions that they yield a hearty assent.

This Damio's wife and children with several other members of his household are regular attendants at the Mission schools and meetings. The Mission families ore crowded and almost oppressed with the number of visitors who come every morning to family worship and to hear the Bible read and explained. We have 33 young men in the Kobe Mission Day School, all of whom manifest a decided iuterest in the Scriptures. Rev, D. C. Green has an audience every Sabbath in our school house, of from 60 to 90 persons, who come to hear him expound the Scriptures, and many of them seem to be Letter from Japan. l FRIEND, y a late mail, we received an interesting formerly r from Japan. Tbe English teacher at Kauai, Maui and at Hilo. He went to Japan hoping to find employment as a teacher, and although his prospects are not as bright as he anticipated, he still finds encouragement to remain there as a teacher. He writes from Kobe under date of Dec. 3d, 1873: " I arrived in Japan at u rather unfavorable time just as the nation was passing through a financial crisis. Last year the demand for foreign goods by the native Japanese was very great. It was considered as a badge of polite distinction to dress in foreign clothes; it was supposed by many that the whole nation was about to adopt European dress. The native merchants stocks of foreign bought and ordered goods. The foreign merchants also ordered large stocks on their own accounts. Many millions of dollars worth of goods were thus imported into the country to supply an imaginary want which never had an existence. earnest searchers after truth. A similar Much of these goods were bought on credit work is going on in the city of Osaka, 20 to be paid for in installments of 90 days, 6 miles from here, and we are cheered and months, etc. When these installments be- comforted in the bright prospects which came due there was of course no money to we believe are before us.

Many verses are known, which, if repeated aloud, are credited with curing cramp, burns and other bodily troubles. When you have whooping cough, apply for a remedy to the first person you meet riding on a piebald horse—a ceremony that Dr. Letsom, the physician, was fated more than once to become acquainted with. Amulets hung in a little bag around the neck, are very widely credited with the power of warding off diseases ; the list of such substances is an ample one, but need not be given here. The anodyne necklace, which was a profitable affair for one Dr. Turner, in the early part of the present century, consisted of beads made of bryony root; it was believed to assist in cutting" the teeth of infants around whose neck it was hung. One peculiar kind ofamulet is the phylactery, a bit of parchment on which a few sacred words have been written ; if worn on the person it is a safeguard against disease and calumny. The Jews in the East used to carry such an amulet written with a Hebrew verse from the Bible, and some of the Mohamedans with an Arabic sentence from the Koran. A horseshoe is a perennial favorite as a harbinger of success. Dr. James picked up a horseshoe on Westminister bridge, and put it in his pocket; the same evening he made a commercial arrangement concerning his famous fever powders, which he ever afterwards attributed to the horseshoe."— All the Year Round. Discoveries at Troy.—The reading pub- lic has recently been much startled by the explorations of Mr. Schliemann at Troy, in Turkey, or Asia Minor. He reports to have come upon the very ruins of the Palace of Priam, King of Troy. We were somewhat surprised to learn from a letter recently received from a Professor in a New England college, that Prof. Schliemann is an American citizen. We quote as follows : " Prof. Schliemann is an American citizen, having made his fortune in California, and having married a Greek wife, now lives in Athens, and has offered his treasures for a Museum to the Greek Government, if they will permit him to exhume Delphi and Olympia." Will of the Late King.-The late King left a will, which was made June 7, 1871. It leaves his personal property to his father absolutely; his real estate to his father for life, and failing heirs of his body, after the decease of his father, the real estate is devised to three trustees, to be appointed by the judges of the Supreme Court, who are to sell it, and of the avails the sum of $25,000 is to be expended in building an Infirmary for poor, aged and infirm people of" Hawaiian birth or extraction." A codicil was executed by His Maxesty on the 31st of January, 1874, by which he leaves to Queen Emma his Marine Residence at Waikiki, upon his father's decease. It also directs that the excess of the avails of his real estate, over the sum of 525.000 shall constitute a fund for the support of the benevolent object mentioned in tbe Will; and further, that his remains be entombed in the Kawaiahao Church Yard. The estate may amount to $100,000. Oaxette, Feb. 11. — �IHE FRIEND, MARCH, 23 1874. DILLINGKHA^M~& CO.

We think the following statement which we have no doubt is a true one, should lead all friends of the temperance cause to united effort in stopping, as far as possible, the sale of ardent spirits the world over : — Sixty Thousand. Tramp tramp ! the" boys are marching; how many !of them ? Sixty thousand!— Sixty full regiments, every man of which will, before twelve months shall have completed their course, lie down in the grave of a drunkard! Every year during the past decade has witnessed the same sacrifice; and sixty regiments stand behind this army ready to take its place. It is to be recruited from our children and our children's children. ' Tramp tramp tramp'—the sounds come to us in the echoes of the footsteps of the army just expired ; tramp—tramp tramp the earth shakes with the tread of the host now pass- — — — — tramp—tramp—tramp—comes ing; to us from the camp of the recruits. A great tide of life flows resistlessly to its death. What in God's name are they fighting for? The privilege of pleasing an appetite —of conforming to a social habit—of filling sixty thousand homes with shame and sorrow—of loading the public with the burden of pauperism—of crowding our prisons with felons—of detracting from the productive industries of the country—of ruining fortunes and breaking of hopes—of breeding wretchedness and disease—of destroying both body and soul in hell before their time. The prosperity of the liquor interestcovering every department of it—depends entirely on the maintenance of this army. It cannot live without it. It never did live without it. " Does any sane woman doubt that her sex are suffering a thousand times more from rum than from any political disability? " The truth is that there is no question before the American people to-day that begins to match in importance the Temperance question. The question of American Slavery was never any thing but a baby by the side of this; and we prophesy that within ten years—if not within five—the whole country .will be awake to it, and divided upon it. The organirations of the liquor interest, the vast funds at its command, the the universal feeling among those whose business is pitted against the national prosperity and the public morals these are enough to show that, upon one side of this matter, at least, the present condition of things and the social and political questions that lie in the immediate future are appre- " " — hended. The liquor interest knows there is to be a great struggle, and is preparing to meet it. People both in this country and in Great Britain are beginning to see the enormity of this business—are beginning to realize that Christian civilization is actually poisoned at its foundation, and that there can be no purification of it until the source of the poison is dried up."— Scribner's Monthly. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
