For five years he has officiated as pastor of the Foreign Church at Hilo, and secured the confidence and affection of his people. His style of preaching is attractive, and his discourses are carefully elaborated. We lose his services, but we feel fully confident some parish in California or the East will profit by our loss and secure the labors of an eloquent preacher arid good pastor.

This great man, surnained the Illustrious by his admiring countrymen, has been singularly overlooked by nearly all American writers touching on American history, although Irving in his Columbus, makes prominent mention of the great work and influence of the illustrious prince in respect to the discovery of America; and it is a matter for surprise that the learned author of Prophetic voices " relating to America does not mention his name. 2 Yet this Prince was the 1 Irving says he died in 1478.

All her words were fulfilled. She was .love of a woman. indeed a prophetic voice for the glory of HELr FROM ENGLAND. Among the host of heroes that came to adventure under the standard of the gallant Prince, there appeared a plain bluff Englishman named John Coffin, who was nothing more than a tallow chandler of Cheapside, London; but he came with five* well appointed ships filled with armed partisans, and all provided by his own long purse. He -came to respond to the appeal of the noble Prince, the cousin of his King Henry Y., being inspired by memories of the lovely Princess Phillipa, whom he had seen upon her palfrey grace the streets of London. 7 When the sagacious King Joao saw the — force and means that had sprung up to re- spond to the enthusiasm and heroic purpose of Prince Henry, and especially when he the substantial ships of the Englishman cast anchor in the Tagus, with the banner of the Prince at their mainmasts, he felt that the enterprise had assumed a proportion ■which deserved the serious consideration of himself and of his government; and which it was important that he as King should control and direct. And thus as usual would conservative caution step in, as it does everywhere, to reap the fruits of the enthusiasm and enterprise of genius. And the old fogyism of the Court of Lisbon was glad to avail itself of the success of an enterprise, which its cautious spirit had led it to condemn. But Joao was a true Prince, who denied not to his son and his associates the full meed of glory, which their enterprise deserved. He joined his armies to the enterprise, and .noon the Tagus beheld a great fleet, on board of which was a great army ready to ■sail for the coast of Africa. Queen Phillipa lay on a bed of sickness, whilst the fleet, being detained by contrary winds, was awaiting an opportunity to depart. Her faithful warrior boy was watching by the bed-side of his precious mother, —and she was encouraging him to leave her to go on his great enterprise. By and by, a gust shook the casements, and she enquired, '* What wind is that blowing so hard, which now shakes the chamber ? " " The north wind," said her servants. "That is the Portugal, and deserving of mention along with her great son among the prophetic voices to be honored by America. And it would seem that she inherited the spirit from her brave father, —that Gaunt of Lancaster, who says in Shakespeare : " Methinks I am a prophet new inspir'd;" And then gives utterance to his glorious eulogy of England. She passed away without witnessing any of the glories of her illustrious son. The chroniclers of Portuguese history all speak of her with enthusiasm, —not only of the nobility of her character, but of the great beauty of her person, which she preserved unto her latest days, along with a transcendent sweetness and serenity of disposition. She was the idol of the people, and her royal husband found it necessary in order to win popular approval of any public act, to let it be known that it met the approbation of Queen Phillipa. H CAPTURE OF CEUTA IN 1415. The expedition sailed on the day mentioned by the Queen. When the fleet arrived at Ceuta, Henry was the first man to leap ashore; and after three days of terrible storm and siege of one of the strongest fortresses of those times, and after forty thousand human carcasses had encumbered the streets of the Moorish city, Prince Henry was hailed as a conqueror, about the same time that his cousin Harry of England won his great victory of Agincourt. He, standing amid the gore and debris of a sacked citadel, was honored by various titles given to him by his father; and the King then caused to be proclaimed, that the Prince should ever after be hailed by his countrymen by the title of " HENRY THE ILLUSTRIOUS." But though this great Prince had proven himself a warrior, and a captain of the first class, like his royal father, the hero of Aljubarotta ; like his grandfather the Lord High Admiral; like his great uncle the Black Prince ; and like his uncle Henry IV. and his cousin Harry Y. of England.

" " .. -.i. u;_ as nim, low men, was no passion witn i 67 ~.iii, wiin all his distinguished warlike and princely relatives. The capture of Ceuta was not for him an opening to farther conquest; but simply a gateway by which he might enter a new pathway of discovery leading into and throughout Africa. Having established the freedom of Mediterranean waters for Portugal, and the privilege to pass unmolested through the Straits of Gibraltar, and to adventure along the coasts of Africa, he lait aside his arms, dropped the discussion o war; and became only interested in talkin with men of science, and with travelers He assembled around his person African traders and travelers. He had negroe brought to him from the interior of the con tinent,—the blacks of Jalof,—and with pa tient study of their language, endeavored t find out some of the secrets of the grea Ethiopian land. He especially wished t determine whether or no a navigable sea bounded its southern shores, and would per mit a Portuguese fleet to sail along it coasts, till doubling some southern extremity it could sail northward into the waters of India, and thence to the Red Sea. He saw that this would be the great and easy highway to the treasures of the East, and if found out by him would win for Portugal the wealth and renown, that Arabs, Egyptians, and Lombards of his day had been winning for ages. However the Prince's passion was more for discovery than acquisition. He preserved his mother's faith to open up new ways for the Cross, and to enhance the glory of his country by carrying her religion and her flag into unknown lands. But this ardent soul was checked by the ignorance and fears of his age. A gateway was opened, but he could find none willing to enter on the pathway beyond. A degree or two beyond the Straits was the limit of enterprise in his day. The great gulfs leading to destruction as then supposed lay beyond thestorrny headland of Cape Non; and the navigation of those days would not leave the limits of well known coasts. But Henry who had studied carefully all that was said about the navigations of Hanno, Eudoxus, Menelans and the Periplus of the Erythroean sea, and whose clear mind doubted not that nature was controled and regulated in all parts of the globe even as he beheld in the Mediterranean sea, saw that men needed more knowledge to get rid of many imaginary terrors of unknown seas, and heresolved to concentrate all information from geographers and mariners in A STUDY OF THE SEA. The young Prince in his twenty-fourth year, turned his back on the splendors of his father's court; and on all the opportunities for �, TJJfc r\II l i, 68 military glory in Africa and in Europe, for which he was preeminently qualified to Wm a great share, in order to study the mysteries of the sea, and to search out tkd great secrets of the Earth.* He retired to a re'.rtat near the i ofty head lands of Cape Vincent, which overlook the ocean t Vne object of his constant thoughts; and Vnere he established an academy for the study of navigation, and the first observatory. He who had gathered around his standard at one time, heroes to capture and destroy a strong city, was now equally successful in rallying around his person, men of skill to enable him to assault the dangers of the deep. His chief worker was one James of Majorca; but there came also many captains and geogaphers, and among others Perestrello, who had with him a little Phillipa, that was to help yield a great influence, in stimulating maritime enterprise and discovery, even as the illustrious royal Phillipa . had done. THE FIRST CHART MAKER. The especial skill of this little maiden's father was to delineate the outlines of lands and waters ; and his pencil was one of the foremost under the direction of the great Prince, to make the first of charts for the purpose of navigation. A story is told by Mattheo in relation to this cartographer and his daughter, which is an illustration not only of the enthusiasm and research of the period inspired by Prince Henry, but also of the noble spirit of the women, which in that day stimulated the enterprise of men. Perestrello though a noble Italian cavalier, and distinguished by his Prince for his voyages and discoveries as well as his charts, was somewhat negligent in respect to his means of subsistence ; and on one occasion, when he desired to execute a large chart, he had no proper material for its delineation and he could not conveniently procure it, not having in his purse even a solitary maravedi; but the enthusiastic and loving Phillipa understanding the need, and sympathizing with the desire of her zealous father, took from her scanty wardrobe a garment of fine linen, which furnished the desired surface for the delineations of the cartographer. And this Phillipa, beautiful and enthusiastic, and of a nature to inspire men of high purpose became THE WIFE OF COLUMBUS. 10 Here was a Phillipa fitted to continue the inspiration begun by the Royal Phillipa;— 9 Comegando do tepo do Infante Dom Enriqae que foy o primeiro inventor desta milicia austral et oriental."

AUGUST I. 1874. The Friend Useful for Reference.— An old resident now in Bremen, acknowledging a hie of the Friend since 1852, thus writes: " Since my first visit to Honolulu I have been collecting sheets of the Friend, but always found parties eager to borrow them for information, and, passing; from hand to hand a good many times, disappeared, and prevented me from getting complete files together. 1 shall be glad to have you send me by next vessel, such files as you can spare prior to 1852, also a complete bound volume which will be issued this year," &c.

Egyptian Ruins.—ln another column will be found a brief notice of the explorations and discoveries of M. Mariette, a French savant and explorer. When it was our privilege to visit Egypt in December, 1669, we wandered through this necropolis or city of the dead. At that time we were not aware to whom belonged the honor of opening up those ancient treasures gathered from the tombs, and now safely deposited in the vre Museum in Paris. This " city of the dead " was the burial place of the ancient city of Memphis. At present it is covered by the sands of the desert, and the ruins explored by M. Mariette were approached by excavating and removing sand. The task was herculean, and he merits much praise for his genius, scholarship and perseverance. " The Bull-pits," referred to in this extract, are immense stone sarcophagi hewn from solid granite, each one of which is sufficiently large to contain the dead body of a sacred bull. The number of the huge sarcophagi cannot be ascertained, as the sands of the desert have been only partially removed. A whole city—that of Sakkara, is buried beneath the sand.

" The woods through which we passed seemed more than ever enchantingly beautiful and tropical. We had delightful weather all the way, reaching Kilauea at a little after three o'clock. The House is delightfully comfortable and seems a magical contrast to the old-time quarters. We enjoyed everything from the glow of the open fire-place to the strawberries and ohelos, from the fresh bracing mountain breeze to the steam of the sulphur bath. evening we watched the fires " Tuesday from the brink of the old crater. The reflection on the clouds was very fine. Wednesday morning was superbly bright and cool with Maunaloa and Maunakea in grand relief, perfectly cloudless. The center of the great lake, you know, fell in during the earthquake of '68. We walked around the edge of the basin to the lake. We explored a cave on the way where the specimens of crystals, etc., were very fine. When I visited the volcano before, (1S68), the surface of the burning lake seemed several hundred feet below us, and we could watch the action of the lava without much difficulty. Now everything seemed changed. The surface seemed within about fifty feet of us and the heat was intense. We did not dare to remain long for fear the bank would fall in. 1 was grandly satisfied. There was a tremendous opening in the northern part of the like through which the lava was flowing at a fearful rate off into some part of the large crater. The action was terrible ! After we left the lake, we parted company with some of the more timid members of the expedition, who went home the safer way, while the rest of us pushed on over the surface of a recent flow. We passed several caves where there was a furious disturbance, looked down through cracks, where the lava was flowing, ran through steam and gasses, and at last reached a stream of liquid lava. It has always been my most earnest desire to see the lava near at hand, and now I was enabled to thrust my cane into the burning lava. I was delighted. We procured some fine specimens with coins sunk in them. Every one reached the house safely though sadly tired. We arrived at Hilo Thursday night, and we have been resting ever since." Nomad. Messrs. Moody and Sankey in Scotland. —English newspapers abound with notices of these American Evangelists and their labors. We have received from Mr. Waterhouse copies of the Aberdeen Daily Free Press, containg reports of their labors in that part of Scotland. The following is the opening paragraph of a long editorial published June 15th : Messrs. Moody and Sankey, the eminent American evangelists, whose fame during the last few months has been spread over all the land, and whose work has in many respects been attended with marvelous results, AUGUST, 69 1874. arrived in Aberdeen on Saturday by the mid-day mail, and were welcomed by a large gathering of clergymen and others. The DEPARTURES. July work that these gentlemen have been carry- ing on in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, and other places in the south of Scotland has, besides being noticed at great length in the daily press, received the patronage and as- sistance of a larger and wider section of the clergy than any movement of the like nature within the memory of the present generation. The widespread stirring-up of religious feeling has been a fruitful subject of comment and reflection from the General Assemblies down to the humblest prayer meeting or cottage gathering, and the influence of the Moody and Sankey movement has by no means been confined to the places they have visited. Dr. Wythe.—Our late visitor, pastor of Powell Street Methodist Church, San Francisco, is now writing a series of articles for the California Christian Advocate, entitled "A Month in the Sandwich Islands."

Vet there were but ten days more until the advertised time of starting, and the steamer running to Hawaii would not tarry long enough for me to make the trip to the mountain. In this dilemma, .Mr. Foster, the owner of several coasting schooners, proposed to give me a letter to the captain of one of his vessels, detaining her a day or two for my convenience. This unlooked-for generosity was a sample of the hospitality afforded me everywhere during my stay. t>—Am bk Powhsltan.

It appears that any piratical rovers engaged in the kidnapping, business in the Pacific, and sailing under the German flag, must not expect to find mercy if caught. We are glad to learn that the great nations are alive to the honor of their respective flags, and will not allow the same to protect any scheme of base kidnapping. Imperial German Consulate, ) Honolulu, July 11, 1874. J Captain C. W. Gelett, Commander of the Missionary Packet "Morning Star." P'esent. My dear sir :—Referring to our conversation on the subject of the kidnapping of natives of the South Sea islands, as carried on by foreigners, I beg to solicit your kind co-operation in finding out whether or not, and if so in how far, Germans or vessels under the German flag are implicated in this detestable business. Certain articles appearing in the Friend of June Ist, of which I enclose copy, seem to imply that such has been the case of late; and if there exists, as is however to be hoped, no error, it is very desirable that more details and positive proofs, as far as obtainable, should be procured on this matter. The German Government is ever zealous power to do, to suppress this infamous trade, of which humane intentions it has repeatedly given proof; and I should like to be in a position to report more definitely on this subject to to aid, as far as it is in its Berlin. May I respectfully ask you, sir, during your present cruise to give this matter your earnest attention, and to report to this Consulate on your return whatever data you may gather when among the islands at the different missionary and mercantile stations. Be pleased to confer with the reverend gentlemen at Ebon, Ponape, Ascension, etc., etc., etc., and in my name invite their kind assistance in the object at hand. If not asking too much of you and the Rev. Messrs. Snow, Whitney, Doane, Sturges, etc., etc., it would be highly acceptable and much appreciated if you and these gentlemen will advise oftener than by the return of the Morning Star, and from time to time when an opportunity for sending letters offers, in order to enable me so much sooner to acquaint the Imperial German Government of what facts you may collect as you sail along. Be assured, sir, and I beg through you to convince the missionaries at all the stations, that the good will of my Government is with you all and the noble work in which you and they labor, and that everything will be done by Germany in the cause of Humanity and Religion. Wishing you and your companions on board of the brig a safe and pleasant voyage and happy return, I pray that God will bless all engaged in carrying and preaching His Word and acting in His Cause among the interesting people of those charming isles you are about to visit, and wherever true religion is spreading its way all over the 1874. sphinxes of Cairo and Alexandria, the names of Apis and Osiris united.

M. C. A. Love Alone. BY R. H. STODDARD. Old Bishop Ivo met one day, As he went up and down the hinds, A stern, sad woman on her way, Wilh fire and water in her hands— in this band water, that hand fire— And she was filled with holy ire ! mean those symbols, Mother, tell " What And whither go you ?" She replies quench with this the flames of Hell, " To With this to burn up Paradise. .- : Fear, hope must nevermore be known, But man serve God through love alone ! er what is due to outraged justice—whatever that may be. The other speakers, strongly opposed the idea that courts had anything to do with justice as an abstraction or a sentiment, or the principle of vengeance, and held that they only had to consider what was necessary for the protection of society, and on that simple ground alone would they with benefit legislate and adjudge upon matters of penalty. They held that otherwise there is no regulating principle in punishments known to men ; that there are no rules of vengeance, no definite information as to the exact nature of Divine justice, or laws for its application to human forums. And further that there-is no evidence that the enactments of the Mosaic Code on this subject, were intended to apply to the race for all time, that on the contrary the Ten Commandments, which were doubtless intended for universal application, positively avoid all reference to punishment by human tribunals; and that the quoted text " whoso shedeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed," was simply a statement of natural consequences and not a command. Capital punishment was further opposed, on account of the impossibility of making amends to persons wfio are subsequently ascertained to have been mistakenly punished ; whereas, in case of confinement for life a termation of punishment, is always possible. It was also held tint on account of averse sentiment to capital punishment it is becoming more and more difficult to convict criminals of murder, and so justice is defeated and protection to human life endangered by the very severity by which it is sought to be promoted. The topic of discussion for the next meeting is Prejudice. 72 HYACMshooeriucnatn’gf onolulu. In communities where not only those who make the laws but thoso who execute them are elected by the voice from the ballot box, there is perhaps more hope for reform than in a community like our own, where those who are called to execute the laws are the appointees of men who do not look so much to character and actual fitness for the work, as to the fact that they have a preference for the official because he is n personal friend or a friend of their sovereign. The power of well directed public opinion should not be undervalued however, even though unsupported by the ballot box. Where changes take place in the heads of departments, as has been too frequently the fact of late, we may reasonably look for some change in the bureaus not necessarily of individual officials but of official opinions master like man." " Like Subordinates, with a very natural desire to retain position, too often conform their theory and practice of duty to the known or supposed views of their chief. Public sentiment has few terrors for them. Again, the subordinate may well question the consistency of a public sentiment that berates him for failure to arrest a person At the July meeting of the Association, Mr. A. L. Smith opened the discussion of the evening with an essay on Capital Punishment, in which, after mentioning the difference of public sentiment on the subject, he argued in favor of the continuance of the death penalty for murder, arson, etc., upon the ground of its necessity for the protection who is a drunkard or one who breaks the of human life. The essayist urged that imlaw by selling in quantity more or less than prisonment for life or any other punishment his license warrants, or one who furnishes liquors to persons around whom the statute less than capital could not have a sufficient has thrown a protection, when the same sendeterring influence upon men to prevent the timent fails to elicit a protest at the appointcommission of these crimes; that in the ment to the chief seats in the nation's counpunishment of solitary confinement for life, cils of men who are engaged in the traffic. there would always be the possibility of Not only failing to protest but approving with pen and voice the wisdom of the appardon, or alleviating circumstances in matpointment. ter of comfort and luxury, and so it would We are not so near the millennium as to be robbed of its worst terrors, and thus have a justify the expectation that subordinates will tendency to lower the moral standard reenforce a very rigid observance of the statgarding the sacredness of human life, and to utes affecting the sale and use of intoxicating drinks while their chiefs have no symreduce murder to a comparatively mild with the advocates of temperance pathy offence.
