For months, aye many anxious months, the Demon of Intemperance has been seen pressing heavily upon the Hawaiian people Victims were ruthlessly dragged to the altar and there sacrificed. Strong men died and the clods were laid upon their graves, and if a true epitaph was inscribed upon their tomb stone, it would be, " Here lies a diunkard." If cases were solitary and at long intervals, there would be some mitigation of the sad retrospect. The wave of intemperance year after year has been seen to pass over the island community. Alas, how many noble men, —noble young men of foreign extraction have we seen go down ; not these alone—we have seen Hawaiians swept away, yes, Hawaiian chiefs and Hawaiian kings! Temperance men, Good Templars and Christians have tried, and not altogether in vain, to stem the fearful tide of intemperance. Of late however, a combination of evil influences has conspired to intensify the sad and alarming prevalence of intemperance. The nation has passed through two elections of a Sovereign to the throne, with attending circumstances which have increased the use of intoxicating liquors. The laws have been relaxed, and the sad results are but too apparent. The friends of temperance, good morals, and Hawaii, have looked on with pain and -iniiety. Some, inclined fo ttke sombre — views, have predicted nothing but certain ruin, while others, more hopeful and prayerful, have called to mind the past nnd look up for help. When the prospects have looked the very darkest, a bright ray has fallen upon the scene. His Majesty has apparently watched the current of passing events, and now, master of the situation, steps forth to the front and invites his subjects to follow. We should suppose, if there was one spark of genuine loyal and patriotic feeling in those around him, every one would dash the cup of intemperance from his lips and sign the total abstinence pledge. This is Hawaii's golden opportunity ! Embrace this opportunity, and something more valuable than reciprocity will flow over the nation. The nation is small and becoming smaller, but the cause of the decrease of the population is well known to be owing, in good part, to intemperance. Now is the time for the friends of the Hawaiian nation to rally around the King and push forward a thorough temperance reform. Shame on those who retard this glorious reform, and by their example and influence hasten the ruin of the Hawaiian race, and jeopardize the welfare of the community. We learn that Elisha H. Allen, jr., Esq. of New Turk city, baa been appointed His Hawaiian Majesty's Consul General Tor the United States of America.—P. C. Advertiser, July 24. 65 tfol. 32. EDITOR'S TABLE. Personal Recollections, from early life Somerville : With Selections from her Correspondence. By her dauuhter, Mnrtha Somerville Fourth thousand. London : John Murray, Albemarle street, 1874. The name of Mary Somerville is one of the authorities in certain departments of educational studies, which we heard quoted at a period when "memory runneth not to the contrary." She died at Naples November 29th, 1872, at the venerable age of ninety-two, and retained all her mental powers so remarkably that her daughter remarks, " her last occupations, continued to the actual day of her death, were the revision and completion of a treatise, which she had written years before, on the " Theory of Differences, and the study of a book on Quaternions." On a few days before her death she wrote as follows: I am now in my 02d year (1872), still able to drive out for several hours; lam extremely deaf, and my memory of ordinary events, and especially of the names of people, is failing, but not for mathematical and scientific subjects. I am still able to read books on the higher algebra for four or five hours in the morning, and even to solve the problems. Sometimes 1 find them difficult, but my old obstinacy remains, for if I do not succeed today, I attack them again on the morrow. I also enjoy reading about all the new discoveries and theories in the scientific world, and on all branches of science. We are not aware as the records of female scholarship and authorship present a similar case. Shakspeare says respecting Julias to old age, of Mary Issued.—The twenty-third annual report of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society, a pamphlet of sixty-four neatly printed pages, Cesar: has been laid upon our table. lifa was gentle; and tb* elements " His So mix'd in him, tbat Nature might aland up We would acknowledge from Prof. And say to sll the world, ' This was a man.'

That we have not assigned too high ,t position for this gifted daughter of science und mathematics, will be seen when the fact is carefully noted which she discloses in the following paragraph Somerville and I spent the Christmas ut Collingwood with our friends the Herschels. The party consisted of Mr. Airy, Astronomer-Royal, and Mr. Adams, who hud taken high honors ut Cambridge. This young man nnd M. Leverrier, thecelebrated French »stronomer, had separately calculated the orbit of Neptune and announced it so nearly at the same time, that each country claims the honor of the discovery. Mr. Adams told Somerville thut the following sentence in tho sixthedition of the Connection of the Physical Sciences.," published in tho year 1842, put it into his head to calculate the orbit of Neptune. "If after the lapse ol years the tables formed from n combination of numerous observations should be still inadequate to represent the motions of Uranus, the discrepancies may reveal the existence, nay, even the mass and orbit of a body placed for ever beyond the sphere of vision." That prediction was fulfilled in 1846, by the discovery of Neptune revolving at the distance of 3,000,000.000 of miles from the sun. The mass of Neptune, the size and position of his orbit in space, aud his periodic time, were determined fromhis disturbing action on Uranus before the planet itself had been seen. What is specially noteworthy in her life, while engaged in the review of the great work of La Place's Mccmiiqiie Celeste," and pursuing her mathematical and astronomical studies,—she did not relax her interest in the social und domestic duties of life. She was a true mother as well as a renowned astronomer, a good wife as well : " - ns a profound mathematician, an ugreeuble companion as well as u distinguished scientist, and a genuine friend as well ns the best-read lady of the age. Never avoiding society or neglecting family duties, and frequently traveling from England to the Continent, and yet performing the most arduous duties of authorship,—" writing nnd correcting proof-sheet." Respecting some of her investigations, Herschel remarked that there were not twenty men in England who could follow her reasoning; and a distinguished French Savant made a similar remark re- 111 I N I). 187 B I I (.IST, read M.'s letter.

But the greatest change is in the men ; I never saw a liner set, so gentlemanly-looking and well-behaved ; almost all can read and write, und they have an excellent library and readingroom iv all the ships. The record of a noble life like Mrs. Somerville's, is good reading for those flippant newspaper scribblers who are forever discanting upon female education, the inability of the female sex to cope with men in study. There are a good many hints and suggestive passages in this volume to those writing books upon " Sex in Education," The Building of a Brain," and other volumes re- " lating to education. This is an experimental age, and iv mutters of education experiments ure made as well as in mechanics. Fortunately such books as this relating to Mrs. Somerville are now published. The memoirs of John " Stuart Mill "is another. The world moves. Conservatives and old fogies are useful in their way, but they must be up and stirring, or the hurrying and advancing wave of Progress will leave them cast ashore on the desolate const of Ignorance n>id Forgetfulness. . Letter from Boston. Jamaica Plains, June 25, 1875. Rev. S. C. Damon— Dear sir .-—The centennial celebration of the Battle of Bunker Hill on the 17th inst, has been very fruitful, in interesting items of news. In the newspapers, it has not yet censed to be. the chief topic of interest. I know not whether it may not all reach you through the ordinary channels of Honolulu news ; but since mailing to you the lloston Journal of the 18th, a good many pleasant little items, called forth by the joyous occasion, have come to hand, which, too good to be lost, I enclose. So extraordinary and excessive was the outburst of public patriotism at Concord on the 19th of April, I supposed that the public mterest in centennials must hnve exhausted itself, and that from the inevitable reaction in the public mind, it would be impossible to awaken much interest in centennial celebrations to follow—after Concord, Charleston and Bunker Hill were scarcely to lie thought of. In this, however, I was mistaken. We had almost forgotten the effect of the attack on Fort Sumpter, nnd tho centennial celebration of the battle of Bunker Hill was a second revelation of the deep hold, which our national traditions have upon the hearts of the American people. East, west, north and south —the 17th of June was a glorious day for Boston—and for four or five hundred thousand people, the happiest day iv their lives. In the procession the number of persons was variously estimated at 30 to 40,000, —but on the line of their march, not less than 300,000 of all ages and sexes were distributed for a distance of six miles, occupying the sidewalks and temporary platforms in front of the dwelling houses and stores on either side of the street; and every window and balcony from the basement to the attic was filled, not to mention the crowds occupying, in many cases, the roofs of the buildings. Many in the procession from distant cities, Bostonians included, say they never before saw so many handsome women— never before such a display of silk dresses and white handkerchiefs, with showers of briquets, which fell upon tbe regiments as they passed— and the effect was very much increased by the display of an almost incredible amount of bunting stretching across the streets, and covering the brick and marble fronts of buildings some miles in extent. The cheering was deafening, and continued till the ladies were hoarse. Massachusetts furnished six thousand troops, and other New England States their quotas. The Seventh New York Regiment, famous for its " lock-step " and wonderful drill in review and marching, was the admiration of all—never before perhaps in this country was there more emulation amongst The stoev of Prince Henry of Portugal, and the sketch of the life of the poet Caiuoontj, published in a series of articles in this paper, are now issued in pamphlet form.

Agreeable to public notice a goodly company of Hawaiians and foreigners assembled at Knumakapili Chun-h on Saturday even ing, July 31st. The Rev Mr Kuaea was called to the chair, and Mr. Poli was appointed secretary. Prayer having been offered by the chairman, H. L. Sheldon, Esq., presented n preamble and resolutions, approving of the stand taken by His Majesty, in his speech Sabbath afternoon. July 18th, at the- Palace. After these were discussed, a committee of five was appointed to wait upon His Majesty and present these resolutions. The meeting adjourned to meet again on Sunday evening, August 7th, when the subject of Temperunce will be discussed. Most heartily we rejoice to witness this movement in behalf of a Tempernnce Reform. It is quite time something was done, and that in good earnest. His Majesty has done most nobly to take the initiative, now let his subjects, native and foreign, follow his example. We hope meetings may be convened in all parts of the islands, and strong resolutions passed sustaining the King and this good cause Now is the time for a " long pull, a strong pull and a pull altogether." Let the friends of Temperance wake up. Let all the foreign and native pastors call upon their people to awake. The Demon of Intemperance has been coiling himself around many of our people with a grasp as tight and deadly as the fabled serpents coiled themselves around Laocoon and his sons, as represented in the famous statuary found among the ruins of Rome and now exhibited in the Vatican Museum. Unless the tide of intemperance is arrested it will inevitably sweep off many more of this people and foreigners residing upon the islands. We have no people to spare. Now is the time to be up and doing. " There is a tide in tht; affairs of men," let us take it in the flood," and it may sweep " us away from the deadly rocks of intemperance and upon the fair and green shores of health and prosperity. Shumeon sll who cling to their cups and by their example and influence perpetuate drinking customs which are unnecessary and destructive to both soul and body. We hope the ladies will all be found upon tbe right side—the side of tem- foals t» : • FROM j >I JI .... TO 1 I .bbiv.l.

We are also delighted to learn that their author is not here '• to rest upon his oars," but will '• follow the heroes of the Iberian Peninsula in their wanderings and heroic achievements throughout the great ocean and along the Pacific shores, and offer to English readers much that they have not seen, in relation to Pacific discovery and Polynesian history."

AUGUST, l.sij. The Vermont Liquor Law. The King's Temperance Speech. The following eloquent speech, which we i The celebrated Hepworth Dixon, having copy from the Advertiser of July 24th, was traveled over most parts of the habitable delivered by His Majesty the King at the I world, at last finds liis way to the State of Palace yard, on Sunday afternoon, July; Vermont, and visits St. Johnsbury, where 18th, before an assemblage of his Hawaiian Col.

Among the latter Dixon appears to be in company with an were Rear Admiral Almy and officers of the Oxford student, who is fond of his ale and U. S. S. Pensacola. other liquors. The good people of Vermont Soldiers, and attendants of lolam Palace : have decided to class ale, brandy and other " I have called you together on this good day intoxicating liquors among poisons, and only " with a view to commencing a good -work. ThcrJ allow them to be sold as other poisons are are not a few in our land who devote this day to sold, such as arsenic. Mr. Dixon thus writes drinking and revelry. You soldiers, arc by your respecting the state of affairs in Vermont, position and occupation the guarditins of the touching the liquor law : Throne and the government, and nt the same For my part, I have passed through many time a part of my own household; and I hare therefore deemed it proper here, in our own countries, and been broken to the ways of many men. I have eaten ice with the home, to inaugurate a work of reform, the examof Lebanon, and sucked a water-melon Druse ple of which may Imply extend bejond these chief; walls. " Iris my desire that we should here form ourselves into a Keform League, the chief object and aim of which shall be to abandon and discourage the use of strong drink. The use of intoxicating drinks is one of the great causes of misery to our nation. There is u great prevalence of intemperance, and consequent sickness among our people, drink inflaming the blood, disordering the system, and producing disease and death. " Tbe reports come to us of these evils from every direction—of disturbances and violence and unirder, resulting from the use of intoxicating drinks. Une day, it is a woman who has fallen a victim, and lost her life as a result of the use ol drink, and the next a man is killed through the same cause. It is time that it strong effort was made to check the evil. " Io other countries, the labors of temperance reformers have for many years been directed to tbe suppression of intemperance, and often with excellent results. You have perhaps heard quite recently of the doings of tbe women in some parts of America, in their crusade against the liquor traffic. The church, and the various secret societies discourage intemperance; much good is done by Temperance Societies; our laws ore strict; but the evil still continues and grows. Therefore let us, here within these Palace walls, combine and agree together to give our example and our influence against this great evil, the use " of strong drink. Let me say to you, that I feel that a heavy " responsibility—a labor devolves upon me to find tbe means ot eradicating this great evil from our nation i—and 1 want you to leel that it is upon yourselves as well. If you meet with ridicule, regard it not; you will be engaged in a noble cause, —an earnest endeavor to free yourselves and your country Irom a terrible curse ; a worthy effort for mental and physical reform. " I invite you, therefore, to join in an association for tbe suppression of the use of strong drink. If you take hold of the work with a true determination, you will succeed, and from your small beginning there may be great results. You know that tbe appetite for strong drink does not come at once, but by gradual approaches, until the man becomes enslaved. Thus also it may be with tbis work of national reform, here l«sgun like a grain of mustard-seed, but which #we may bave the happiness ol seeing spread all over the Und." drunk quass with the with a Kirghiz archmandrite of Pechersk, and gulped the dregs of a tank with an Arab Sheikh; tasted, unwittingly, the saltness of the Dead Sea, and shrunk with loathing from the nauseous ooze of the Bitter Creek. I have lapped the Nile, and lingered by the fountains of Loja. In the absence of wine, I can drink water with a Good Templar, and live in comfort on tea and milk. But an Oxonian near me, reared on football-ground and cricket field, requires beer. " Can you get me a pint of ale?" It is a crucial test, and I regard the waiter's face while -seeming not to notice him. " Yes, sir, but it will take some time ; I have to send for it." " To send for it— where from ? " " From the Commissioner's. Who Pray, who is this Commissioner? " is this Commissioner ! " " Yes, yes ; "excuse me for the question, I am but a stranger in Commissioner, sir, is these parts." " Theappointed the town officer, by law to sell poisons, as I have heard your druggists are in London." " Very good ; then get me a pint bottle of the poison called Bass's Pale Ale." My own inquiries satisfy me that the man is right. Intoxicating drinks are classed with poisons, such as laudanum and arsenic ; but as poisons may be needed in a civilized country, under a scientific system of medicine, laudanum and arsenic are permitted to be sold in every civilized Slate. Such is here the case with brandy, beer, and wine. A public officer is appointed by a public vote. The town lays in a stock of brandy, beer and wine, which is carefully registered in books and kept under lock and key. These poisons are doled out, at the discretion of this officer, in small quantities—very much as deadly-shade and nox vomica are doled out by a London druggist. " Cannot you get a bottle of cognac for your own private use?" I asked Colonel Fairbanks. i can send my order," he replies, " for a pint of cognac ; it will be sent to me, of course ; but my order will be filed, and the delivery entered on the public books for every one to see." " You find that system rather inquisitorial, do you not?" " Well, no, it is intended for the common good, and every one submits to what is for the good of all. We freely vote the law, and " freely keep the law. But for myself the rule is a dead letter, since no intoxicating drink ever enters my house." In going through .the mills, I notice the several classes of artizans. Five hundred men are toiling in the various rooms. The work is mostly hard ; in some departments very hard. The heat is often great. From seven o'clock till twelve, from one till six— ten hours each day—the men are at their posts. The range of heat and cold is trying, for the summer sun is fierce, the winter frost is keen. Your ordinary citizen cannot live through the summer heats without a trip to Lake Champlain and the Adirondack mountains. Yet the men engaged in these manufactories of scales are said to drink no beer, no whisky, and no gin. Drinking and smoking are not allowed on the premises. Such orders might be only meant for discipline, but I am told that these five hundred workmen really never taste a drop of either beer or gin. Their drink is water, their delight is tea. Yet everyone llssures me that they work well, enjoy good health, and live as long as persons of their class employed on farms. "These men," I ask, " who rake the furnaces, who carry the burning metals, and who stand about the crucibles—can they go on all day without beer? They never taste a drop, and never ask to have a drop. There is a can of water near them; they like the taste of water better than the fume of ale, and do their work more steadily without such fumes." In fact, I find that these intelligent craftsmen are the warmest advocates of the prohibitive liquor law. They voted for it in the outset; they have voted for it ever since. Each year of trial makes them more fanatical in its favor. Since the Act came into force, new clauses have been added by the State Legislature. Party questons often turn on this liquor law, and these intelligent workmen always vote for those who promise to extend its operations. They would gladly crush the sale of intoxicating liquors once for all, and I am led to fancy that some of them would not hesitate to make the sale a capital offence.
