Iceland, 874-1874.
A thousand years ago, the sea-going
vi-kings, or roving Iree-booters, issuing
from the bays and harbors of Norway and
Denmark, boldly steered their piratical crafts
into the stormy Atlantic and discovered
Iceland. In the year 874, while King Alfred
was upon the Throne of England, a settlement was made by the bold and hardy Danes
on the rude and bleak shores of that island.
That settlement has prospered, under a variety of features, for a thousand years, and now
in the year 1874, it is proposed to hold a
grand Jubilee meeting in Iceland. The
history of its inhabitants is richly worthy of
study. In a foot note of Taine's history of
English Literature, we find this singular
remark, and if true, deserves to be remembered and reflected upon. "In Iceland, the
country of the fiercest sea-kings, crimes are
unknown, prisons have been turned to other
uses, fines are the only punishment." Now
is a good time for our young people to review
their histories, andjg-read the Life of Alfred,
and Turner's JM fcaxons, or any other
books relating™ Hners and customs in
Europe a thousanfryears ago.

Rev. William Clknow. —By the last
Australian steamer, this gentleman passed
en route to Europe. For twenty years he
has been laboring as a Wesleyau Minister inSydney and the Colony of New South Wales.
Sometimes he has been traveling and others
stutioned in Sydney. We received a letter
from a Presbyterian Clergyman, in Sydney,
containing the following paragraph. "Ailow
me to introduce to you, my highly esteemed
friend, and one of the ablest and most excellent ministers of the Wesleyan Methodist
Church in this Colony." Such was the esteem in which this gentleman was held in
the Colony, that a purse of £506 was made
up to meet his expenses, to and from England. This was done, not merely among
his own people, but the community at large.
During his brief sojourn of only one day, in
Honolulu, he visited schools, churches, public buildings, and made himself acquainted
with our city and its surroundings.
So much gratified were those who listened
to Dr. Wythe's first Lecture, that the Y. M.
C. Association has invited him to deliver a
second Lecture. This will be delivered this
evening. May Ist, at the Lyceum, at 7A, P.

The Visit of Dk. Wythe.—We congratulate this gentleman on his having heen able,
during his short and flying Irip to the
islands, to visit the volcano on Hawaii, and
also the islands of Maui and Molokai. He
has also made numerous scientific excursions
around the island of Oahu, while ordinary
visitors see only the general outlines of natural scenery and acquire current information,
he has looked out upon the islands with the

The death of Sir Robert M'Clure, C. 8.,

question Who discovered the N. W. passage t
By the friends of Sir Robert, it was claimed
that to him this honor belonged, while Lady
Franklin claimed it for those attached to the
ill-fated expedition, commnnded by Sir John
Franklin. In the Ocean Highn-ays or Geographical Review, published in London, for
December, 1873, we find this subject fully
discussed in a memoir of Sir Hubert. As
both Lady Franklin and Sir Robert, arc remembered by some of our readers, we think
they will not be uninterested in learning the
'•omparative claims of the two claimants.
During a period of three hundred years it
remained an unsolved problem whether or
not there was a water communication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans via

attempts to explain the curious phenomenon, in literature. Says the German
critic Schlegel, "no life of Shakespeare
yet written can explain the man." He does
not hesitate to denominate any life of Shakespeare yet written as " a more fabulous
story." R. W. Emerson says, in view of
" Hamlet," and " Lear." " I cannot marry
this fact to his verse. Other admirable men
have led lives in some sort of keeping with
their thought, but this man in wide contrast."
S. Taylor Coleridge exclaims " What, are

E. I. D
Papuasia.
This is the new name for the great island
of Papua or New Guinea. In the Ocean
Highways for December, we find various
documents relating to the recent explorations
of Papuasia or New Guinea. Among these
documents a map delineating the cruise
and land journey of the Italian expedition,
to which was attached, d' Albertis, an Italian
traveler, who spent some weeks recently in
Honolulu, and became known to many of the
foreign residents. It appears that this expedition explored along the western shores
of Papuasia, nnd was under the direction of
Dr. Meyer, a German, and Dr. Beccari, an
Italian. The former has returned to Europe
and writes from Vienna.
An English exploring expedition under
command of Capt. Moresby, on board H. B.
M. S. Basilisk, made a running survey of
the eastern coast of Papuasia, during the
spring of 1573. The Missionaries of the
London Missionary Society, have commenced
a Mission Station on the S. W. coast of
Papuasia. A narrative of the missionary
voyage thither, conducted by Rev. A. W.
Murray and Key. S. Macfarlane, has been
published, and lies on our table. From all
these sources we gather the information that
this great island is gradually being brought
within the range of civilizing and christian
influences. It is sad to reflect that trading

The precipitous wooded
mountains are to a considerable extent cleared
and terraced to their very summits with taro
and yam plantations, whilst the valleys produce cocoanut, sago, palm, bananas, sugar
cane, guava, mammy apples, pumpkins, snd
other valuable products. The natives were
of a lighter copper color than those further
west, slight limbed and active, with bright,
intelligent featuies, and many would be good
looking but for the disfigurement caused by
the betel-nut. Their taste, in painting their
bodies, is peculiar. At times they make
themselves a sooty black with charcoal and
oil. Others paint black spectacles round
their eyes, blacken their noses and lime their
cheeks and chins white, giving themselves a
most grotesque appearance. They are fond
of wearing bright flowers, plumes of feathers,
and long streamers of the Pandanus fastened
to their shoulders. The septum of the nose
is perforated, and a polished bone thrust
through it. The men do all the canoe work,
leaving the field labor to the women. But
the latter have their say, and make the men
do as they please in mutters of barter. The
men were frequently seen nursing little
children with much affection. One striking
evidence of the superior civilization of the
light colored race over the black New Guinea
men is the acquaintance of the former with
the art of making pottery.
" The intercourse of the Basilisk with
these people was of a most satisfactory and
pleasant nature. On all possible occasions
Captain Moresby gave his ship's company
leave to go on shore, and mix freely with
the natives, and there was always perfect
good feeling and confidence on both sides.
They are as pleasant and genial a race of
savages as could well be met. At the same
time, they occasionally do a little cannibalism
amongst themselves.
Captain Moresby inclines to the opinion that the inhabitants of
the large outlying islands stand in much the
same relation to the New Guinea men, as
the Danes and Norsemen of old did to the
ancient Britons. While laying in Fortescue
Strait, the Basilisk was visited by some
large island canoes, and the New Guinea

Death of Charles A. Castle, Esq.
With sincere sorrow we announce the
death of this gentleman, which occurred last
evening, April 30th, at the residence of his

had suffered exceedingly during his short illness, lasting about two weeks. What renders the event peculiarly sad is the absence
of his wife and children, and also that of his
father. He has been about five years Registrar of Public Accounts, which office of

THE FRIEND,
Obituary.
-
Miss Maria Ooden, who died in this city
April 3d, 1874, was born in Philadelphia,
Pa., Feb. 17, 171)2, having attained the venerable age of 82 years. Of her early life we
have very little knowledge, except that she
was an only child, and that when she devoted herself to the work of Foreign Missions, at the age of thirty-five, she was an
orphan, and had very few relatives living.
She embarked for these islands, Nov. 3d,
1827, in the second reinforcement of missionaries, which consisted of Key. E. W. Clark,
Rev. J. S. Green, Rev. Lorrin Andrews, Rev.
P. J. Gulick and their wives, and four single
ladies, Miss Ward, Miss Stone, Miss Patton
and Miss Ogden. Two only of these ladies
still survive. Miss S. now the widow of
Rev. Artemus Bishop and Miss P. the widow
of Mr. Levi Chamberlain. The sending out
of these four single ladies was thought then
"simply an experiment," and a "very doubt■ ful " one too, but we may now consider tlicni
(and Miss Ogden particularly) as the pioneers in the work now spreading over the
whole missionary world, and which has attained such proportion as to employ numerousWomen's Boards in many denomination*.
This company landed at Honolulu, March
30th, 1828. It is a. somewhat remarkable
coincidence, that a social gathering of the
survivors of this reinforcement, was held at
the house of Mrs. Chamberlain, on the day
after the 44th anniversary of their lauding ;
and three days after this social interview,
Miss Ogden was called Home.
Miss Ogden's life has been one of preeminent usefulness. Humble, retiring in
disposition, she has yet accomplished a vast
amount of work in a most unobtrusive manner.
Immediately on their arrival the four single
ladies were assigned to homes in different
missionary families, and Miss Ogden's first
field of labor was in the family of Rev. P. J.
Gulick at the station of Waimea, Kauai.
She remained here a year, during which
time she commenced the study of Hawaiian,
and it is remembered she devoted much of
her time to nursing sick Hawaiians. In
1829 she was stationed at Lahaina, in the
family of Wm. Richards, and remained at
this station several years, a helper in the
missionary families and also teaching day
and Sabbath schools. She mentions in her
early letters " a hundred pupils " as calling
for all the patience and endurance she could
command. In the year 1838 she entered on
the work of training Hawaiian girls in a
farajly boarding school at Wailuku, Maui, in
connection with Mr. £. Bailey as manager,
and continued in this school for nearly 20
years, until the American Board decided best
to disband the school, and give up the special

work of training girls. Miss O. has been
heard to remark that " this was the bitterest
trial of her missionary life." But she could
not relinquish wholly her beloved work, and
kept a small private school for girls in Wailuku, till called to Punahou in 1858 where
she acted as manager of domestic affairs for
a year or so, until the Makiki Boarding
School for Hawaiian and half-white girls
was started. With these later labors of her's
nearly all are conversant. She continued in
this school ten years, when on account of the
opening of the Kawuiahao Seminary and her
increasing age, she decided to withdraw from
the sphere of education, anil has since lived
a happy quiet life in the city of Honolulu,
occupying her time ns tract distributor and
hospital visitor, and relieving all the sick and
afflicted in her immediate neighborhood. In
the year 1853 she adopted two motherless
daughters, the Misses Holden, whom she
trained to womanhood with all a mother's
love ami care, anil who now deeply mourn
her loss. She had also two Hawaiian adopted daughters, the children of Rev. James
cellor, and among the other familiar names
were J. W. Austin and Mrs. Austin, Mrs.
Peck, Capt. Sc Mrs. Brewer, Mr. and Mrs.
Weston and others.
Gerrit K. Smith is our last arrival, and we
welcome him as we do all the island boys,
for they all reflect credit on their native land.
I saw both the Bonds a few weeks ago, and
the Emersons and Frank Lyman I see frequently. With aloha, I am, truly yours,
Wm. T. Brigham.
and Naomi Kekcla, Missionaries to the Marquesas. Naomi was one of her early pupils
in the Wailuku Seminary. By her own estimate, she had hail under her training in
her various schools, a thousand Hawaiian
girls! Some of our most valued Hawaiian
matrons all over these islands were her pupils.
Several of them are now the wives of Hawaiian Missionaries in Marquesas and Micronesia.
Her end came suddenly. Apparently in
good health, her last day was crotedt d with
deeds of kindness. Walking in the mid-day
sun to carry a last letter she had written to
Mrs. Kekela at the Marquesas, then in the
afternoon attending the Social at Fort Street
Church, on her way home about sunset, she
was stricken down with an appoplectic fit
and was much injured in falling. Her last
words were " Take me Home." She became unconscious almost immediately, and
remained so for nearly 24 hours when she
passed away without a struggle or groan.
