We have received a most interesting letter from a young Englishman, formerly attached to an American vessel of war in Honolulu, who is now in Northern India, an employee on a rail-road. From that distant part of the world he reports a religious awakening among Europeans, under the- preaching of the Rev. Mr. Taylor, an American Evangelist, formerly of San Francisco, but who has for many years been preaching in India and South Africa. Our correspondent writes as follows, under date of Lahore, February lltli, 1875: A Mr. Taylor who has been a great deal to and fro in the world, came here to preach, and God blessed his ministry and gave, the souls of these wanderers to His Son, and thus sealed His servant's ministry. He is still with us, loath to depart while the spirit of awakening is abroad. In San Francisco, long ago, they called him Father Taylor, and you may know him.

It is that Anna Eliza receive $3000 attorney's fees and $500 per month alimony pending the trial, the alimony to date from the filing of the complaint, which was about twenty months ago. There was loud applause in the court room at the close of the reading of the decision to-day, Judge McKean made an order that within ten days from service Brigham Young shall pay $3000 attorney's fees and in twenty days from service $9500 ali•mony.

By the last American mail, we received a letter from Captain Jones, of Falmouth, Mass., from which we copy a few paragraphs, which will show that some forty years ago he was attached to a ship, which was in imminent danger of being cut off at one of tbe Marshall Islands. Capt. Jones, it appears, was cruising in that part of the Pacific in 1835, some twenty years previous to the establishment of the American Missions on Ebon: On the sth of October, 1835, I was third officer of the ship Awashonks, oi Falmouth, Prince Coffin, Master, with a crew of 28 men all told ; at noon, on that day, we luffed to, maintopsails aback off the south-west point of a low island half mile distant. Directly around the point, to the northward and westward was an opening to a large lagoon extending several miles. By an observation of the sun at that hour, I made the latitude 5 35' north. We took no observation for ° on that day, but supposed it did longitude not vary much from 168° east longitude. Our object was to obtain refreshments; at about half-past twelve, when I should think the number of natives on the ship's deck amounted to about thirty, and the ship's company being somewhat scattered around, by a preconcerted signal from one that we called their chief, the whole company of natives made a rush for the whale spades, and other formidable weapons, and in less than three minutes, either killed or drove every man from the deck. After a short conflict with one of the natives on the deck, I was so fortunate as to escape to the forehold unhurt. From the forehold I succeeded in getting through, between decks, to the cabin with one seaman, and got possession of the fire arms, consisting of four muskets and two large pistols, and plenty of ammunition. We kept up a constant fire about one hour, four other seamen coming to our assistance during the time. We killed but three of the natives on the deck, one of which was the chief at the steering wheel, but as the ship lay to with her stern toward the land (and the natives not knowing how to avoid tho �34 TBE FRIEND, fire from the cabin windows by coming on the ship's bow instead of a direct passage to the stern,) we cut off all communication between the ship and the land. We sup posed that we killed about fifteen or more in aH, the greater part in canoes, coming on board, sighted from* the stern windows. Our loss amounted to seven killed, the Captain, first and second officers, and four seamen, a part were killed in the water, men that jumped overboard. Five were seriously wounded, and myself, with whale spades, but recovered. The booty taken by the natives amounted to one whale boat, several spades, harpoons, lances, &c. When they took the boat, they cut the tackles and all the fastenings without removing the cranes on which the boat set. The boat then rolled off and fell into the water bottom up with two holes, where the cranes had gone through ; two of the natives had left with the boat, sitting astride on the keel, when they came within range of the guns they were both shot, and we saw them no more. When they left the ship they all sprung overboard in one group. The canoes in which they came on board, having been dispatched for reinforcements, and on their return were unable to reach the ship's side. The wind was very light, and sea smooth, I learned but two words of their dialect— O Jaki," these words were repeated often, - their definition I did not learn. A book, published by the Harpers of New York, called the " Nimrod of The Sea," or "American Whalemen," contains a brief account of the Awashonks massacre; but it was published without any official information, and is in many of its details, quite erroneous. I do not think the natives at that early day had learned the force of fire arms, in several instances I pointed a loaded musket at them from the cabin windows, not more than fifteen yards distant, while they were looking me full in the face, with no expression of fear, but making every effort with their paddles to gain the side of the ship. One of the natives who escaped, received a deep spade cut across the arm, between the elbow and the shoulder; should he be living to-day, would probably show a large scar. As I was the only officer left alive, the command of the ship devolved on me, and we decided to make a direct passage to Honolulu where we arrived on the 25th of November, I then being a young man of only 21 years, and not wishing to retain the responsibility of commander, gave up the charge of the ship to Mr. Jones, United States Consul. He appointed John O. Proctor as master, and I accepted the situation of first officer, and we took in freight and passengers, and came directly home to Falmouth, where we arrived May 20th, 1836. Ourpassengers were the Rev. Joseph Goodrich, wife and three children ; Mrs. Brinsmaid and two children ; and Mrs. Johnstone, at that time a teacher, who had under her charge Miss Mary Warren; our passengers were very pleasant kind of people and we had a very fine passage home. In August, I left my home again as first officer of the same snip, made a very successful voyage, and returned home in 1840, which completed my third voyage in the MAT, 18 75.

Since that pledge was given, the Morning Star has made its annual visit and been unmolested. Not only among the Marshall Islanders has the influence of the Mission been felt, but also throughout all Micronesia. The Pacific University and its Founders. Among the rising institutions of learning west of the Rocky Mountains, is the Pacifiic University of Oregon. It is something more than a quarter of acentury since its foundation was laid, and its growth has been gradual, but sure. By the last mail, we received from J. Quinn Thornton, Esq., of Salem, Oregon, a pamphlet entitled," History of the title to real estate in Salem." The writer had occasion to introduce, for an illustration, the origin of the Pacific University and its founders. We think our readers cannot but ■be interested in perusing the following para- graphs : "But we would not willingly permit the name of Tabitha Brown to die and pass beyond recall; for it is said that "the memory of the just is blest." She came to Oregon in 1846, by the way of what, in those days, was known as the Southern or Applegate route. Nothing but an unconquerable will and an amount of energy seldom equaled, enabled her to successfully encounter the hardships, privations and dangers of that journey. When she left the canyon of the Umpqua mountain some of her even less fortunate fellow travelers were so reduced in their means of subsistence that they were living upon cattle that had perished in the passage of the mountain because of starvation and fatigue. Mrs. Brown settled near or at what is now known as Forest Grove, in Washington county. Some time in the year 1847, she expressed to the late Rev. Harvey Clarke a desire to become wealthy. Mr. Clarke, with some surprise, ventured to inquire what use she would make of riches if she should in the providence of God become their possessor. "I would," she answered, " establish an orphan asylum, and would build up an educational institution on broad and deep foundations, having a capacity in both institutions to meet all the present necessities of Oregon, but with such power of expansion as to furnish not only a home for every child that may hereafter be left in a state of orphanage, but an education also. And in addition to this I would provide such facilities as would enable all parents in the country to educate their sons and daughters in the higher branches without sending them abroad." This answer clearly enough indicates that she was no ordinary woman, that she possessed a large, warm and benevolent heart, that her judgment was clear, and that her intellect was strong and capable of comprehending the necessities of the future. This conversation was really the germ of the Pacific University. The wish she expressed 'and her answer to Mr. Clarke's question met a ready response from him, and he was glad to find in her a prompt, energetic and sympathizing helper in every good word and work. They immediately began to make plans and to devise schemes for the purpose of furnishing such educational facilities as the present needs of the country demanded, and that should keep pace with the ever-growing wants of the country. To this end they built a log house in 1848; and in it this noble woman taught and boarded about fifty children, charging one dollar per week for each child. But low and apparently inadequate as was this sum, she was not able to collect it. Children still came into school until their number so increased that Mrs. Brown found her strength and even her great powers of endurance unable to the labor incident to her situation. She then gave up teaching and devoted herself to boarding scholars, who received their instruction from hired teachers to whom she paid all she received over what was necessary to meet the absolute necessary expenses of her establishment under a carefully devised system of the most rigid economy. For the purpose of layintr a foundation broad enough and sufficiently firm to give some assurance of permanency to the school, Mr. Clarke, in the year 1850, set apart a quarter section of land, laying off the tract into lots and blocks. A Board of Trustees was appointed, in which Geo. H. Atkinson, D. D., was an efficient and untiring co-laborer with Mr. Clarke. Some of the blocks were appropriated to make up the deficiencies in the salaries of the teachers. Under a charter grantedby the legislature, the institution was at length raised to the rank of a University. In 1853, President Marsh was sent from the East to take charge of it, Mr. Clarke and Mrs. Brown laboring all the while as at the first to make it indeed a success. Two or three times she declined to continue the keeping of boarders, because of inadequate strength; but the want of suitable accommodations had such an effect in reducing the number of pupils in attendance as to threaten its very existence. Stimulated by a sense of this danger she would again open her house for boarders at greatly reduced prices. Finally her health quite broke down in 185*7 ; and in the following year she went to her reward in the seventy-ninth year of her age, mourned by all who had only known her to revere her. Mr. Clarke died in the same year, but whether before or after Mrs. Brown, is not remembered by the writer. Mrs. Brown was ever ready to contribute of her substance to the church, and to this institution of learning, of which she and her chief fellow-laborer, Rev. Harvey Clarke, were r.ertaiidy th»i founders, although others built well upon the stones they had laid in prayer, toil and self-denial. During her last sickness, the house in which she had boarded the pupils was given to the institution ; and this, together with ten dollars for the bell of the University, were her last donations to what is now known as the Pacific University. Editorial Remarks.—The perusal of this pamphlet of Mr. Thornton recalls to mind, one of the most delightful episodes in our life. We refer to a visit to Oregon, daring 35 the summer of that most eventful year, 1849, in the history of Oregon and California. We landed there in May, from the U. S. transport ship Massachusetts, taking 200 soldiers who had been conveyed around Cape Horn. The vessel was commanded by Captain David Wood, of Newburyport Mass., who was a graduate of Harvard University, and a class-mate of Prescott, the Historian, in 1814. Captain Wood, at fourscore, is now an officer in the Savings Bank of his native town. On leaving the vessel at Fort Vancouver, we visited Portland, Oregon City, Salem and other places scattered through the Williamette Valley. By referring to a journal of our delightful rambles on horse-back, published after our return to Honolulu, we find that it was our privilege twice to visit the site where the Pacific University now stands. Our "notes," as then jotted down, so remarkably correspond to the statements of Mr. Thornton, in regard to the founders of the Pacifiic University, that we venture to re-publish them from the Friend of October 15th, 1849 : During my two visits to the Tualatin plains, I became much interested in the efforts now making for the establishment of Tualatin Academy, by the ministers and people of the Congregational Church. A school was origi- nally started at this place by the Rev. Mr. Clarke, and an elderly lady, Mrs. Brown. They were knowing to the fact that there were many children in the vicinity who were orphans, growing up in ignorance. Moved by a most commendable spirit to provide for their education, a school was opened, denominated " An Orphan School." Mrs. Brown, living in a rude log-house, received several children into her family as boarders, a neighboring log-house was occupied as a school and meeting-house. Amid many discouragements the school prospered and more scholars presented themselves than could find comfortable lodging. After a few months, the friends of the school decided to enlarge these accommodations, and change the name of the school to that of " Tualatin Academy." About this period, the trustees secured the permanent services of the Mr. and Mrs. Sells, formerly Missionaries of the American Board among the Indians, in Middle Oregon. I am confident that two more suitable persons could not have been selected for the school; the Rev. Mr. Eells had been for several i months previously engaged in teaching at the Methodist Institute " in Salem.—There " given universal satisfaction as a comhe had petent and successful teacher. Having a teacher, the trustees resolved to erect suitable buildings. At the time of my visit the workmen were engaged in putting up a two story log-house for the Rev. Mr. Eells' family. While upon the ground, 1 resolved on my return to the Islands to present the claims of Tualatin Academy and solicit donations. There I fancied 1 saw the foundations being laid of an institution, which might, in due time, vie with the Colleges and Universities on the shores of the Atlantic.— The records of Harvard, Vale, Dartmouth, �36 THE FRIEND, MAY, Williams, Amherst, Nassau Hall, and numerous other now flourishing institutions would show that they sprung from an equally humble origin. The time was when the now richly endowed Harvard was sustained by l-he contributions of the poor colonists of Massachusetts Bay. If a person needs encouragement to contribute for the establishment of schools, academies and colleges, in a new country, let him attentively peruse the history of almost any one of those noble institutions which are now the pride of the people in the Eastern and Middle States. A small donation of a few dollars, at the period when such institutions are struggling into existence, is really of more value than a " princely gift " when the same institution shall have arrived at maturity." We would simply add, that such was our faith in the rising prospects of the Pacific University that we sent forward a donation contributed by foreigners in Honolulu. Our Island Authors and Professionals Abroad. Some months ago we furnished a catalogue of our Island boys abroad in schools and colleges. It is quite gratifying to learn from various sources, that our Island youth when emerging into manhood attain positions enviable, lucrative and honorable. On taking up the April number of " Scribner's" monthly and glancing over the list of contributors, we were gratified to notice a poem from T. Munson Coan, and an article entitled, '• The Statue of Life," from G. P. Lathrop. We claim both as our Island writers. In the same number we also find a commenditory notice of Mr. Francis Lathrop as a painter, whose sketch for a portrait " " is on exhibition in New York. Both Lathrops are remembered among the youth of Honolulu some twenty years ago. Among our Island youth who have entered the learned professions, we are represented abroad by two Emersons and a Lyons, as physicians ; a Castle and an Armstrong, as lawyers ; an Emerson, six Gulicks, and a Thurston, and several others, as clergymen, while many more are abroad as teachers, merchants and men of business, from all of whom it is most gratifying to hear favorable reports. America may have given to our Islands some fifty mission families, but those families have sent back to America more than twice that number of promising sons and daughters, besides retaining " a good home supply." This is a species of reciprocity that binds the Islands and America by bonds stronger than those based upon a commercial treaty. We do not see but virtual annexation has already taken place. If at some future time, Hawaii should incline to shine as a star among tbe stars of the great Republic, instead of shining " alone in her glory." the event will doubtless come along as one of those natural 18 75. processes in nature, combining beauty, propriety and strength.

We are again called upon to chronicle the death of one ol those who came to these Islands as a Missionary under the auspices of the American BoaiH. Mrs. D. S. Bishop, formerly Miss Delia Stone, was born in Bloomfield, N. Y„ May 26, 1800, and died in Honolulu, April 13, 1875, hence was nearly seventy-six years of age. She removed from her native place and resided in Rochester, N. Y and embarked from Boston, Nov. 3, 1827, in company with the Rev. L. Andrews, Rev. J. Green, Rev. P. J. Gulick, Rev. E. W. Clark, Dr. Judd, and others. They arrived safely the following spring. A few months after her arrival, she was married to the Rev. A. Bishop, stationed at Knilua, Hawaii. During her earlier years of Missionary life, she was ardently devoted work of instructing a school of native Idren, numbering 100 pupils, for sixhours a J*iy, not neglecting the domestic duties which fell to her lot. Thus she continued her labors until 1837, when her nervous system guve way, and she was compelled to relax from her wonted labors and change the nature of .work ; but it was always her aim , 1876. The Friendship of Jesus. He that findeth Jesus, fmdeth a treasure of infinite value, a good transcending all that can be called good; and he that loseth Jesus, loses more than the whole world. That man only is poor in this world who liveth without Jesus; and that man only is rich with whom Jesus delights to dwell. It requires great skill to converse with Jesus, and great wisdom to know how to keep Him; but not the skill of men, nor the wisdom of this world. Be humble and peaceful, and Jesus will come to thee ; be devout and meek, and He will dwell with thee. Without a friend, life is unenjoyed; and unless Jesus be thy chosen friend, infinitely loved and preferred above all others, life will man who can bring into the house over 3,000 eggs a year is the husband for her, and she wishes me, as an expert, to tell you how it is done. No eggs need ever be expected from Brahma hens. I have had all the Asiatic a fowls—Brahmas, Cochin China, Shanghais, Malays and Javas—have showered upon them grain and kindness, and am now persuaded tnat the whole Malay race, both of men and hens, is indolent, malignant ana useless. There is no business in them. Brahminism it-self is a system of selfihness : the hens have no disposition to lay eggs ; they eat incessantly, straddle about the world with an awkward gait, which is enough of itself to condemn them, and are only large and plump when roasted, because they cannot help it. Like geese and turkeys, they lay but one batch of eggs as their year's work, and then insist on sitting; they trill do it, like George Washington, with their little hatch-it. You can no more get eggs from Asiatic fowls by oats than you can be to thee a scene of desolation and distress. It is madness to place confidence and delight in any other. Of all that are dear to thee then, let Jesus be the peculiar and supreme object of thy love. Let it be thy continual prayer for all, even make a deafand dumb child into a musician for thy enemies, that all may be blest with by feeding sounds and tongues. the knowledge and love of Him. Race is everything in hens, as in men. Thomas A. Kempis.
