APRIL 1. Editor's Table.—Two most interesting nnd entertaining books have been placed upon our table during the past month,—Hamlin's "Among the Turks " and Pomander's "The Polynesian Kace." Both demand more space and time than this issue of our sheet will allow, but at some future time, these books will receive due notice. We should hardly be willing to admit that our interest in the examinations at Punahou increases because we may be passing on towards " second childhood," yet we confess to a very deep interest in these exercises. Being present at the close of the second term of the current year, we can testify respecting the efficiency of teachers and diligence of the pupils. While sincerely regretting that the President and present assistants retire at the close of the current year, yet we are assured that the Trustees have made such arrangements as to fully secure the usefulness and success of the institution in the future. The Rev. Mr. Jones of Oakland is to become the future President, and Mr. Adams, a graduate of Amherst College, his assistant. Lady teachers are also secured. 1878. A Lie Overtaken.—lt was old Dr. Beecher, we think, who said, that it was useless to chase n lie, for it could not be caught! Some weeks ago,—Dec. 22d—the following paragraph appeared in one of our Island weeklies: " Who, I ask, may be disposed to keep the Lotd's Day more perfect than Ministers of the Gospel—the teachers of the Westminister Sabbath Law, and why then is it, that to-dny there nre seventeen of those perfect Christians in "Auburn"? more than in all the German Empire." Signed, " Cosmopolitan." We ascertained thatthis statement was based upon a paragraph in the S. F. Chronicle, stating the number at ''27," and that the Chronicle based its assertion upon the Atheistical newspaper of Boston, the Investigator. Naturally feeling a little sensitive about this statement, thus reflecting upon Clergymen, we addressed a note to the Chaplain of the Auburn Prison, and received the following reply : Orrica, Auaras Prison.

We find in reading European History that the saloon hns played almost as conspicuous a part as the battle-field, and that if anyone would paint an accurate picture of any epoch he should study not simply the oracular decrees of cabinets and the tape-tied enactments of legislative bodies, but as well those brilliant paces written over with descriptions of so:ial life and royal merrymakings, in which emperors and kings, past and present, have played so conspicuous a part. Hence, in telling you a little of what is passing in this "Old World," it may not be wholly out of place for me to send you a few words as to how the very brilliant court of one of the foremost nations, politically and intellectually, of our day, amuses itself in its hours of relaxation. In a few capitals, that you could count on your fingers, European social life reaches its acme, and Berlin, with its Emperor and Empress, with its extensive Imperial Family, standing at the head of a great nation, in the full tide of success and victory, and with boundless hope of the future, is surpassed by none of. these. The world has long ago learned that life is not a perpetual holiday to kings and queens and that crowns and happiness do noOilways go together. But here lam finding thai an Emperor and Empress can combine the pleasure and business of life in a manner which seems eminently sensible and agreeable, and can turn from the thousand thorny and perplexing affairs of state with an evident zest of social joy and recreation. Just now, Berlin is especially brilliant, perhaps never more so, and the winter, which according to the calendar ought to have been here long ago, has never shown its icy lace, and here in thf far north, genial suns and skies are warming us, so that both indoors and out it is equally charming. la the midst of it all, it seems a little difficult to realize that Italy's first King is really dead and that at last the old Pope is gone where human infallibility serves as scanty covering; that war-shadows are flying over England and that the Russians stand so near the gates of Constantinople. But nations are like individuals, and while Italy is draped in black, Spain and its royal couple rejoice in wedding-wreaths and bull-fights. And here, we are all awaiting with interest tbe �26 111 h FRIEND, marriages of two young Princesses of the Imperial house, which form the especially unique and interesting feature of this year's season. The Princess Charlotte, daughter of the Crown-Prince and Princess, and grand-daughter of tbe Emperor and Empress of Germany nnd of Queen Victoria of England, is to be married to the young Prince of Meinigen, and the Princess Elizabeth, grand-niece of the Emperor, to the Grand Duke of Oldenburg. The marriages will orcur in a few days and there have been u series of Imperial ceremonies and entertainments for a week or two pnst which served as a kind of prelude to those which the wisely instructed say, are yet to come. First there was " The Order-Day " when nil those who wore any of the German decorations or orders repaired to the Pulace where there were imposing ceremonies. Then came a grand court recpption, which would in England be called, I imagine, a " DrawingJioom," in which there were trains and pages without end. And then the great Imperial Schloss (Palace) was again thrown open, and the Emperor and Empress were host and hostess to a thousand or more guests. Viewed artistically, such a fete as this would be prolific in splendid suggestions, in sudden revelations of beautiful combinations of color, of light and shade, of a thousand inviting scenes for a painter's brush. Be patient with my description done in s mple black and white Were 1 deft enough to use gold and crimson, silver and azure, I would send you a far more fitting picture. Let your thoughts and fancy lend color as you read. You would never imagine that the grim, gray, age-stnined, old Schloss could from such a chrysalis expand into such n gorgeous butter-fly as it does under the imperial and magical touch. It is a great, silent, enchanted atone world, standing in its solitariness, motionless, hushed and mysterious, until on the night of n grand court-ball it wakes into a marvelous life mid seems to throb with a wonderful dumb joy. It is used by the Imperial family only on -state occasions, as they live in their own smaller pulaces in different parts of the city. It is an enormous affair architecturally. Just let us look well at it as it looms up in the still might-air and this is a good opportunity as our carriage has come to a dead-block with hundreds of other wheels and our coachman must wait his turn, obedient to the frantic gesticulations and cries of the guards and police on horse and foot. I think that it must wonder in its old age at all these modern merry-makings, for in its young days it saw far different times and scenes and faces, far back then in the days of the Electors, hundred of years ago, when Berlin counted its population by thousands as it does now by hundreds of thousands. It is a great, gigantic square building, surmounted by an enormous dome, topped by a gilded cross, over the castle chapel, and contains some six hundred rooms, enough, I am sure you will say. There are worn and crumbling carvings and statues and armorial insignia on the exterior and on one side a wing runs down by the River Spree, and its picturesque gables are green with ivy. Hundreds of windows are aglow to-night and send down their friendly greeting to us. And now we lI'KIL. 1878. are beginning to move on, and our wheels are ringing on the pavements of the*interior court and we hove passed the splendid bronze statue of " St. George and the Dragon " and are at the entrance-portnl. Opening of doors, shouting of footmen and flunkies and we have in u twinkling left the cold night-air behind us, and are standing in the midst of warm lights and surrounded by anything but spectral figures. A splendid row of soldiers stand at the entrance in brilliant dress and we pass them and begin the ascent of the long wide sinir-ciises, and traverse the endless labyrinth of rooms,galleries, and halls to the '• White Saloon " where the gathering of the evening is to tnke place. To one who has never experienced the endlessness" of a great palace it is fur from easy to convey an idea of the vast extent of one of the Royal European palaces. You can scarcely credit it thut these countless rooms, wiih their heavy draperies, shadowy portraits and glittering candelabra are nil in the some building. They open up before you in long vistas and you wonder where the end can be. Before each door stand guards, motionless, mute as statues without the movement of a muscle. What splendid, huge fellows they are, bom and bred perhaps in the heart of some German forest and trained with the magnificent training of the German military service! With their white and scarlet uniforms and glittering swords they are n magnificent ornament to these princely rooms. We follow the tide that is sweeping onward, ladies in the unruffled freshness of their evening's costume and officers in full unform and now following this long gallery with its pictures, nnd flowers and tapers, we some into the grand "White Snloon " where ninny have already assembled. We are in full time, so that we can see the forming of the brilli ■ nt circle to meet the Emperor nnd Empress. There is nn eacer rushing of courtiers and chamberlains hither and thither, pompous in gold nnd dignity, directions given in French nnd German and English, but at last every one is in her or his right place and everybody is smiling in'the most good nntured manner possible and evidently prepared to enjoy the evening. Now that the head Chamberlain has gotten us nil into such excellent order, we can see that we are standing in a great saloon, with lofty ceiling and elaborate carvings and frescoes whose coloring is relieved by the prevailing white. There are thousands of lights, glenming in the crystal chandeliers. Two galleries face each other, one for the musicians and one where we shall go later. There are statues of Victory, of Brandenburg electors, emblematic figures in niches, etc. At one side is a rnised platform with the imperial chairs and surmounted by a fringed dais. What a capital place to study geography and ethnography ! All the Diplomatic, corps are here and as they form a grand half-circle at one end ol the Saloon, you may travel round the world irl even shorter time than it would take Puck to girdle it. On one side are the ladies, on the other, the gentlemen. There are the English, the Russian, the Austrian, the Turkish Ambassadors, the Italian not appearing. Following the line come Ministers, Envoys, Charge's d'Affaires, Secretaries, Attaches, " without number. Really it is n most picturesque "group! The Russian uniform in silver and blue, is especially marked among those in gold. There are the Turks in their red " fez " caps and elaborate Eastern embroideries. There come glittering orders and bands, and ribbons. You stop for a moment to look at the Japanese, who have doffed their national costume and appear in European dress. (They find something more than dress here, for the Japanese Minister has been so happy as to find a German lady, who has married this stranger from those far-off Islands.) Then just notice that little gentleman with soft, gray hair nnd quiet eyes on the left, almost hurried under stnrs and orders. He is the Minister from Greece, and very wise and learned, somebody is telling us. lam sure you would be pleased to see how interested he is in our Islands. Then is the Representative from Chirm with his train of secretaries and interpreters. Every one is looking at them, their peculiar dresj making them very conspicuous, but they seem quite equal to the occasion. Here is a bit of geographical fitness. On this side is China and just a little beyond, the gentlemen of the American Legation in their severe Democratic black-suits, and between, //nirnii is placed. So you see, you are represented in a peculiarly geographical manner. But 1 may weary you with these details and it is higii time to be thinking of something else. For there is a rapping and a tapping of official staffs nnd wands, and a general air of expectancy pervading the room and now the ladies on the opposite side nre bending and curteysing in the most elaborate manner and we know that the Emperor and Empress have arrived. Whatever diversity of opinions there may be about the " divine right" of Kings, there is no diversity of opinion in reference to the homage due a sovereign who in addition to n hereditary dignity, is crowned with the kindliness of irue manhood, and William I of Prussia, who sits on perhaps the most powerful throne of the present day, may lay claim to both. There is an excellent opportunity for studying his face as he stands pleasantly chatting with the ladies of tbe English nnd Austrian Ambassadors, and then passes down the line with a kindly nod here and there. He bears his years with a grace which few men of his, age do. It seems scarcely possible that he is eighty-one years o!d, for he stnnds so erect nnd his eye is as bright and merry as n boy's. Can you remember your young days when it seemed as if Emperors always went around with crowns on their bends, and wearing Sweeping purple velvet trains bordered with ermine nnd holding a gold ball in one hand ? Some how they seem to have gotten bravely over nil that in these demoralized times and 1 think they must be immensely more comfortable in these days. Our Emperor is very simply dressed to-night, ■ simple red military coat with belt and white .military trowsers and the smallest of spurs on his boots. You have so offerv seen his portrait that his face must have grown very familiar to you by this time. His pictures arc wonderfully true 1 find. His hair is almost white, and the lower part of his face looks out from grayish-white whiskors. It seems to me a kindly fare, and just now wreathed in smiles, fairly �THE ¥lIX I U brimming over with good humor. He is the very personification of a large-hearted father as he stands in the midst of his court. I have since seen his face when an almost weary look stole over it and I felt after all in the midst of all this brilliancy the cares and burden of office were sometimes heavy In this prevailing peace and joyousness, it is a strain on the imagination to picture this cheery Imperial host, in battle-fields, and at sieges, surrounded by the din and carnage with which the history of the past ten or .fifteen years has led us to associate him. I am glad to have seen him enjoying the peace and repose of these better days and I trust now that the smoke of battle and clouds of war have cleared away, that Ins sunset will be bright arid beautiful. He has a kindly word for every one and pusses the long line as gracefully as he was wont formerly to ride his war-horse firmly. The Empress is just behind. It is but natural to notice what she wears, and it is so brilliant a toilette, that even the men ore studying it as it is very beautiful with gold embroideries and long wreaths of white water-lilies and dark leaves. But the jewels are imperial. There is a diadem of diaabout her neck the Empress ountless precious stones, the dress is places studded with diamonds and mernlds, and in the heart of the lund tes eat gleam and glitter diamonds, drops of dew in the sun- My eyes are not accustomed to such ing, brilliant show which must be use for an excursion into a domain iy descriptions are not wont to lead Empress is no longer young, but ies herself in a very queenly manner evening welcomes her guests in a ich I think many a hostess in a less position would do well to imitate, who interests herself in her i lady in literature, and brings the charm of ducation to adorn her position.

It all has its political and official significance I imagine, and prob.ibly word of it went flying over the wires to different governments before many hours had passed Now we are at liberty to got wherever we wish, the great palace is at our service, and we will avail ourselves of this opportunity. The music is filling the air and the dancers the floor. There is a deliciously cool breath of air for us by the fountains just outside the great saloon, and the water flashes and murmurs in the most inviting manner. There arc groupings of dark green shrubs and caineli.ib in bloom. The gas shines in , IPIt I L . 1878% soft light from globes of glass. From the gallery above we have a most varied and knleidiscopic view. It is a sea of jColor. The many and varied uniforms of the Prussian officers are an immense addition ; there are Hussars and Uhlans and Guards and at every turn some new flash of red or white or gold may be seen. The many tinted dresses of the ladies, the lustre of jewels, the long line of pages, the countless stars and orders und decorations of generals and ambassadors, make up a wonderfully brilliant scene. The whole Court is here, the garrisons of Berlin, ot Potsdam, of Spandau, Princes from different parts of the Empire, city officials in their robes of office, the flower and beauty of Prussia, one must be very much of an ascetic not to enjoy it. The Empress and Crown-Princess are sitting upon the dais together ; the Emperor is not fur away talking with some princess, the young Princesses are on the floor with their young " bridegrooms" as they say in Germany before the marriage. Neorer us is Prince Carl the brother of the Emperor, feeling I imagine sad at heart in the midst of all this gaiety. For he has lately lost his wife, and during the audience which he kindly gave us the other day, he told us how dear she had been to him and with tears gathering in his eyes he said he had hoped to have celebrated their golden wedding, but that she was taken away just before. You cannot but feel a great throb of sympathy for this kindly widowed heart which shows its warm humanity under the ermine. Then the great company sways to the Imperial supper room where they are imperially cared for, and then return through the long picture-gallery with its bright lights. There are some splendid paintings, among which I notice especially that of the triumphant Coronation of the Emperor at Versailles, at the end of the Franco-Prussian war, amid the acclamations of his asssembletl generals, and that portraying the return of the Emperor, as victor to Berlin nnd his enthusiastic reception here.' Both paintings are of enormous size and splendidly finished. The court-mandate sets an early and sensible hour for departure, so thot immediately on the withdrawal of the Emperor and Empress the pageant of the evening is concluded. So we too leave the old Schloss to its quiet and peaceful meditation until another evening. The chatty, pleasant little Chinese secretary who speaks French says to me in his funny Chinese-Parisian style " hon-nuit" und "pleasant dreams," and I come away assured that always among my brightest dreams will be that of the " White Saloon" in the Imperial Schloss. Shortly after this evening of which I have been telling you we were again at the Schloss and this time by invitation of the Crown-Prince and Princess. An entirely new and different suite of rooms was thrown opjti. so that you might have fancied you were in entirely another building. It was in many respects a repetition of the entertainment given by the Emperor, and was most beautiful and brilliant. The Prince and Princess are a noble looking couple The Prince is a tall splendidly formed man, promising to fill well his father's place. The Princess is thoroughly English in face und figure and retains well the fresh- 27 ness of girlhood, so that it is a little difficult to realize that the young princess, who accompanies her in her tour of the room, is her daughter and is to be married in a few days. 1 fancy the Princess resemble') her mother Queen Victoria somewhat, as she was in her younger days. The young Prince, "Our Fritz." is the idol of Germany and the inspiration of Young Prussia. Certainly Germany has much to encourage her in the thought of her future Emperor and Empress. Not to detain you'too long with descriptions, I will just mention en. paeuiant another evening at the Emperor's private palace and then close. This was, I think, the most delightful fete we have attended. It was far smaller than those of which I have been speaking and hod, I might say, a more •' home like " aspect than tbe others. The pilace is situated on the superb avenue Unter den Linden," the center of every"thing in Berlin. Just facing it, as a kind of perpetual inspiration, is Ranch's wonderful equestrian Statue of Frederic the Great, acknowledged to be the finest thing of its kind in Europe. Never have I seen anything more exquisitely graceful and symmetrical than this. But of this another time. This palace is emphatically the of the Emperor and he was most " home truly "at home" to his guests. There was here none of the magnificent interminableness of the castle, but a more restful beauty. In the center of the palace was a most beautiful " winter-garden," the most inviting tropical nook in Berlin. There were great fanpalms and bananas, beautiful ferns and mosses, white marble statues half hidden i a wreath of clinging verdure and from han, ing lamps fell a soft, half lijjht which ren tiered this spot peculiarly charming. 1 wa especially interested in one beautifully fu nished room, which 1 should judge was th writing-room of the Emperor or Empres Nothing could have been in more perfec taste than the arrangements of vines ant flowers. You lost the sense of being withi doors. Over the writing-table was area bower of ivy and it curled and twined it rich leaves as if it enjoyed the atmosphen For those who wearied of watching th dancing, there were rooms with bronze rare glass and plate, malachite ornamen many pictures to study, and then above a there were single faces and groups that now here and now there you could study. This is but a poor outline of what I would like to send you, but 1 told you at the beginning it would have to be done in black and white, —and not in fitting colors. Berlin lins just welcomed the new French Ambassador and with so sincere a cordiality that 1 hope this will help with many other things to bind up tbe old wounds and tend to perpetuate pence. Bismarck still remains in the enjoyment of his furlough in the seclusion of his country home at Barzin. But it is now understood that he will shortly come to Berlin, and I trust I may be able to see this remarkable man, the most remarkable to my thinking, of our day. The Reichstag is now in session, having been opened a day or two since, so that Berlin has its work to attend to as well as its " F. W. Damon. amusement. Hawaiian Legation, Berlin, Feb.

Take, for examGoethe's Predictions. In Eckermann's report of a conversation held with the German Poet Goethe, on the 21st of Feb. 1827, we find the following: " It may be foreseen that this young state (U. S. of America) with its decided predilection to the West, will in thirty or forty years, have occupied and peopled the large tract of land beyond the Rocky Mountains. It may further be foreseen that along the western coast of the Pacific Ocean, where nature has already formed the most capacious bays and secure harbors, important commercial towns will gradually rise, for the furtherance of great intercourse between China and the East Indies and the United States. I therefore repeat, that it is absolutely indispensable for the United States to effect a passage from the Mexican Gulf to the Pacific Ocean. Would that I might see it, but 1 shall not.

Master Walter Austin.—A few months ago, we noticed the fact that Judge Austin's oldest son bore off the Gold .tiedal in the famous Chauncy Hall School of Boston. In a late Boston paper, we notice that his brother Walter, has successfully competed for the first Silver Medal, in the same school This youthful student—Master Walter— will be remembered in Honolulu as nrrnyed in " military garb," in the days of the " Antiques and Horribles." Copt. Colcord having resigned command of the Morning Star, a new Captain has been selected in Boston, and will arrive in season for the sailing of the vessel on or about June 10.

That is a book to make an American feel proud of the literary stnndingof his countrymen when they visit the nations of Europe. Ticknor might almost be said to have enjoyed the freedom, not of one European city, but of all Europe. In the " Republic of Letters " Ticknor won the highest honors. For the Paris Exposition.—Mon. Bal- lieu deserves much credit for his zeal in gathering materials for the Paris Exposition. Through the aid of the Rev. Mr. Bingham he sends copies of publications, in Hawaiian and several Micronesian dialects. A model of the Hawaiian Islands, upon which Mon. B. has been at work for years, will be there on exhibition. It is prepared in plaster of Paris —the altitude of the mountains above sealevel will be as 1-8 of an inch to 1,000 feet and the area, as 1 square foot to 360,000. English language, and their knowledge of the meaning of the Scriptures. Dr. Hyde is manifestly " the right man in the right place." Although he has been here less than one year, yet he hus become a good Hawaiian scholar, both writing and speaking the language with ease. A majority of the pupils are married, and we learn that Mrs. Hyde and Mrs. Bingham give instructions to the wives of the young men. Surely the prospects of this Seminary are encouraging and a step was taken in the right direction when the American Board sent forth Dr. Hyde on his mission to the Hawaiian Churches, and to educate young men to become Pastors of these Churches.

Dear Friend: —I may have told you of a wonderful work of grace in a government school, taught by Captain Jones, a pious American. As the Bible was not allowed in the school room, he invited the pupils to his own house, and there taught out of the Scripture*. There were some 20(1 in the school, and through the divine blessing on his efforts, between thirty and forty were hopefully converted, and nearly nil of them were for a time bitterly persecuted by their relatives and school-mates; but very few if any, forsake their Saviour. Nearly thirty of them are now in the school at Kiyoto preparing for the ministry. They preach in niiiiiy private houses in that city in term time, and in vacation publish the gospel in many distant places, where foreign missionaries could not well go. Below I give extracts from a letter of one of them, to Miss Starkweather, who with Mr. Davis and his family, the principal of the school at K. was recreating on a neighboring mountain. The writer, for hisfaith in Christ, suffered imprisonment, it is tuiil, 120 days. lie thus wrote : "Dearly beloved sister,—I had so many things in my mind, I cnuld not choose what is best to write. But first, be thankful to God our Father, through Jesus Christ our Saviour, for He is the source of happiness, mercy and peace, wherein we live through all eternity. The more I grow in faith, the more I (eel that special grace of God shown upon my soul, while 1 was yet in my native province. From that time 1 could not be still in my mind, but told first to my friends, and then to my relatives ami family around me. They laughed at me, and told me that madness had entered my mind. Not only this, but they attempted to take my faith in Christ. Wherefore I fought with all my might against this devilish enemy. "During all this time (iml was always watching my work, and when the proper time for deliverance has arrived He has lent His hand to me, by which I was delivered from the hand of the enemy and their evil intent; and I was sent by God's will unto you all, my helpers in faith, which 1 had before. Yet since I had known that the Lord Jesus is our Saviour, and have experienced His work in my soul, I not only rejoice in the salvation of my soul, b»t look for the salvation of my countrymen. For which cause I have left all my worldly opportunities and associations, nnd entered into the holy work of my heavenly Father. •• Oh my dear sister, this (viz., to be a preacher) i* my determination, since I have caught the first .glimpse of the sun of . APRIL 1878. glory rising above the horizon of this country ; for I could not look upon the misery of my brethren without great heuviness and sorrow in my heart. Yet, though I am standing in the midst of my" dead brethren, lam not without hope in future. God has not forsaken this nation. Even for this very purpose you were sent, by the will of God, to this country to help us in this work. Yes, help us a thousand times, help us! for we are weak both in faith anil in deed in the midst of wolves and lions. The young men of Japan are fast preparing for our future struggle, by the help of the Holy Ghost. We will stand therefore, having our loins girt nbout with truth nnd having on the breast-plate of righteousness. And above nil, taking the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit; and thus will march under the great general, Jesus Christ, through the midst of devilish foes against Satan, —to destroy tiis work, for his work is sin, and by it he will slay us unto eternal death. Thus having finished the destruction of his work in the souls of men, we will return to our heavenly home, glorifying God our Father, who is sitting on the throne of glory, and our elder Brother on His right hand, with nil the saints who have come before us, nnd wear the crown of glory, with which we will shine like the stars of heaven forever,— Amen. We are thirsting for the living water, which U refreshing to us in our spiritual journey to heaven. Please give my best regards to .Mr. Davis nnd others in the mountains. All my brethren who are with me, say,— Yoroshikn, (viz., regards) to you. "From 11. Kana.miwki. Kiyoto, Japan." " The missionary work, according to report, continues to b?i blessed at all the stations, except Nagasaki. There they are interrupted by the civil war, the scene Of which is near to it. We trust that this war is nearly finished. The church at Kobe now numbers 97, nineteen having been dismissed this yeur to other churches. The little church at Sanda, of 2S members, has just built a house for divine service, costing With the premises 8400,—51 lpaid. They received $100 from their countrymen in other places, and $100 from foreigners. 1 think the Japanese show a very commendable disposition to help themselves, considering their poverty. A common laborer will work for 25 cents a day and find his own provisions; and other things are about in the same proportions. As ever yours, sincerely, P. J. Golick. The King of the Friendly Islands, in the South Seas, last year, proclaimed a public holiday on the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Wesleynn mission on those The Basel Mission in China. As among recent Chinese immigrants there has been a good percentage of professing Christians and Christian families, we have thought our island readers would be interested IB some brief statement respecting the mission in China, from which this Christian element has principally been sent forth. A large majority of the professing Christians from China bringing certificates of churchineuibership, are from the Basel mission, and signed for the most part by the Rev. R. Lecher From the Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal for January, 1676, we learn that " The Basel Mission " in Hongkong and other districts, " Barmen Mission," and the " Berlin Men's Union " of China, owe their origin to the enthusiastic efforts and labors of the great and early missionary Gutzlair, who labored in China prior to 1851, when he died, but before his death he visited Europe and awakened ■ missionary spirit in Switzerland und Germany in behalf of China. One of the fruits of this good work, was the establishment of the Basel Mission, which in 1876 had n stall' of eight German and two Chinese ordained missionaries. A majority of these are laboring in the interior of China, three hundred miles distant from Hongkong, The Basel Mission makes Hongkong its center, where there is a large church of !»1S members in full communion, also ■ large Kbool for Christian girls, and in the interior there is a training-school fur native pastors, We bare received B long and interesting letter from the Bey. R. Lecher, written since the sailing from Hongkong of the AitgiiKte, bringing so large a number of prolessing Christians. The missionary refers most kindly nml tenderly to these Christian neophytes, who have left his watch and care, to seek u livelihood in these islands. We are gratified to learn that the greater part of these immigrants have gone to the district of Kohalti, Hawaii, where they will meet those who came one year ago. It is also highly gratifying that among them came several who have ncted as ixhnrters in China. One, Kou Tet Yin, has been employed for years as nn Evangelist, nnd at one time labored near Sydney, N. S. W., in the Diocese of the Bishop of the English Church, and brings a certificate of Christian zenl from that functionary. This man has already been employed to go to Kohnla and labor among his countrymen, under the direction of Rev.'Mr. Bond. Health Seekers.—By the Zealandia. arrived and left, for England, the Rev. H. Greenwood, a Wesleyan Minister, of Victoria, Australia, who had been for a number of years a missionary on the Tonga Islands, also, the Rev. H. Fennick, of Darlington, England, a Wesleyan Minister, who ismnking a tour around the world. �ADVERTISEMENTS. L.. HANt lIICTTE, J• ,. I'li.no-Forln I mirr A.

The following respecting the Minister of Foreign Affairs, we clip from a lnte exchange : The French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Waddington, is of English parentnge, and passed many years of his life in England. He was educated at Rugby, and was a member of the University of Cambridge. A distinguished scholar, a member of the Institute, he is alive to all the requirements of the science of the day. Dr. Pressense Yon Schlumembach, Secretary of the C. A. • lof North America addressed the meeting, 'dwelling upon the necessity of the organizaI tion among the Germans, and on the fact that the majority of the German youths are lost i to the church through the inactivity of J the older members. There are in Scotlrmd, according to the report of the Executive Committee of the seventh annual conference, 67 Y. M. C. Assays that he is , sociations, with a membership of li?,000.

The nomination of such a man, who is not only a Liberal but a Protestant, to the Ministry of Foreign Affnirs. is the clearest proof that the present Government is not committed to any religion of the gelical Christian and Portland Seamen's Friend Society.
