OCTOBER 1. IBSO. The last month has added another to the long list of sudden surprises, which make the life and history of these Is.lands so full ol romantic interest. On the removal of Moreno from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Interior took his place, ad interim. Many measures were adopted, and many appointments to public office were made, to say the least, of questionable propriety. But the Ministry, even sooner than was expected, found themselves involved in inextricable difficulties in the line of policy they were pursuing with such infatuation. Fortunately the facts were made public in time to give the opportunity and hope of rectifying the blunder they had made, be/ore irreparable injury had been done. The upshot of the late political coup d'etat is the dismissal of every member of the late Cabinet, and the appointment of Hon. W. L. Green ns Minister of Foreign Affairs, with the Premiership; Hon. H. A. P. Carter, Minister of the Interior, and Hon. J. S. Walker, Minister of Finance. With men of such ability and standing, in the administration of the Government, deservine the confidence and support of every friend of Hawaiian nationality and prosperity, it will not be long, we trust, before this Kingdom will recoup, and her political affairs be in a far more healthful condition, as the ultimate consequence of suffering for the last two months such political embar- One of the most grievous mistakes in the line of policy, pursued by the late Ministry, and their advisers and supporters, was the utterly unfounded and generous assertion, that it was the color of their skin, and not the character of their actions, which was the real ground of opposition to them and to their policy and measures. To be lured to destruction by plausible vidians has been the sad fate of nations as well as individuals; for human nature is weak, and people can easily be cajoled into accepting that which suits their prejudices. Mere flatterers or favorites are not true friends. We are sure it needs only some sharp prick of adversity, some brief experience of trouble, to convince this Hawaiian people that their true friends are those who advise such actions as will not interfere with the maintenance of mutual respect and sympathy, nor in any way trespass on the right of others. An infidel social science considers inequality the great curse of humanity, and would drag down everything that is high and honorable to its own base level of sloth and sensuality. Christian benevolence, on the other hand, is the unstinted giving of aid and comfort to help every one rise to higher and higher position through higher and higher worthiness. < Mr. Bowser's new book, entitled The Hawaiian Kingdom Statistical and "Commercial Directory, and Tourists' Guide," has lately been issued.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 45 A CITY OF GREAT MEN. You know, dear Friend, I have been from the first a rambler, jotting down pictures and experiences of travel, without very much order or sequence; and availing myself of your always kind and encouraging permission, 1 have taken you hither and thither, without much regard to geographical limitations and distances. And now lam going to be more presumptuous than ever, and ask you to wander a little while with me in various nook, and places, which have nothing at all to do with the countries of which I have been talking of late, but which in their own way, will each have something of interest for you, I trust. It is something of a leap from Old England to Central Germany, from the turbulent activity and many-voiced life of mighty London, to the dreamy peacefulne.s and summer-hush of Weimar, whose past gives life to its present, and where you keep company with the dead, rather than with the living; but this leap I am going to ask you to make. (Would that all our leaps had as pleasant an ending as this !! Goethe, whose fine perception of the beautiful no one would I think doubt, came to Weimar in the first flush of hi. splendid young manhood and .tayed—fifty years and more. There were many circumstances which led to this, but not the least, was, I am convinced the exquisite natural beauty of his surroundings. I first visited Weimar some two or three years ago, and in the very heart of winter; and I enjoyed the old Ducal capital then, but far more a week or two since, seeing it tbis time in the perfection of mid-summer beauty. Weimar, would have held always undoubtedly an eminently respectable place in German annals, but beyond these comparatively unknown to the world, had not the Grand Duke, Carl Augu.t, towards the close of the last century, had the wisdom, skill, and good taste to draw about him some of the greatest men of letters, of his own or any time. Through this happy fact, his capital has come to be one of the Meccas of Germany and of the world, immortalized through the names of those who here lived and wrote and died, and made of it a center of poetic inspiration for the time in which they lived. Every one is familiar with the exquisite picture which Lewe. in his " Life of Goethe" paints of Weimar in �74 111 t the last century, portraying the animated and vigorous intellectual life of the Court of Carl August, which though one of the very smallest of Europe, was al the same time the most interesting in many ways. Goethe, as you will remember, was for a number of year, one of the cabinet minister, in thi. diminutive realm. Hi. name alone would be of importance enough to give any place celebrity, but Weimar wa. at the same time the home of Herder, of Wieland, of Schiller, ■and of a brilliant circle besides. In this charming court the Duke and Duchess did the honors as host and hostess, as pstron and patroness of letters, of science, and all the arts, with not only the refinement of birth and training, but with the higher grace, of sympathetic feeling and intellectual merit. It wis a unique and remarkable spectacle thi. tiny realm, with most nf the titles and appurtenances of an empire, this school of poetry and the fine arts, with royal fosterparents, this grouping of great men and clever and fascinating women. It was a period of brilliant bloom and splendid fruit- age, and though oftentimes excessive snd extravagant in certain phases of its development, was after all the very golden era of German literature. Weimar is a charmingly irregular old town, with here and there open "Places," surrounded with quaint and antique buildings, and beautified with many statues and memorial monuments. The lsrge park which sweeps about one side of it, and wanders in a delightful way up near to the homes of the perfple, gives great beauty to the place. This is the park which the Grand Duke and Goethe and all the friends liked so well, and which to my fancy seems to be more alive with memories of them, than the old stone houses and palaces which are shown you here. There is within this verdant world a white cottage covered with climbing roses, where Goethe loved most of all to live, Away from men and where he drew in long drafts of inspiration from the beautiful scenes about him. 1 wonder if in a dumb, dim way, the trees and the meadows and the gently murmuring river llm, flowing onward through the forest, do not miss their old friend and lover. Certainly this wss the very home for a poet. As we stand before it for a little while in the early summer twilight, we do not wonder at hi. choice. Full hearted roses, open lavishly their stores of beauty to us. The air is perfumed with the faint odor of new-mown-hay, which lies in long golden drifts between us snd the river. To right snd left stretches away a broad open road, which leads off to the world, which just now doe. not claim us. but which it is well after all to know exists. Behind and before are the woods, with their shadowy depths and tremulous lights, and above a summer sky fading through a thousand marvels of light and tinting into the twilight and the night. Following the road (till further on, we come to the royal chateau of Belvedere, which commands a fine view of the surrounding picturesque country. From this point to the town in the plain below, leads sway one of the finest avenue. 1 know of in Europe. The house, where Goethe and Schiller lived, with various relic, of them both are .till preserved. Goethe's wss a fine impos- FRIEND, OCTOBER I*Bo ing mansion befitting a minister of the Grand Duke. And after seeing where they lived, when here among men, you can also see where their bodies have been placed now that ihe spirits have flown. The beautiful old cemetery where they are entombed with t«ken the train thither, had time for saun- tering and driving in its winding streets and were back again with our friends in the German Athens, before the clock in the old church tower had decided to strike the hour of ten. Early as we started, the sun was ahead of us, and was sending lor.g slant arrows of light through the fields of summer grain and over the grassy slopes still silvered with the moist touch of the night. Men stood in the fields ready for the peaceful campaign of the day, and as we swept by, leaned for a moment in unconscious grace on the long handle of their fresh whetted scythes, which should before the twilight lay low the gleaming ranks of grain. The birds too were awake before us, and sang in answering chorus to the low murmur of insectlife and rustling leaves, the morning hymn of nature and the country. Our road grew more and more picturesque as we advanced, rising from rolling wave-like fields to lofty hills with wooded slopes. Jena lies in a graceful amphitheatre of hills, which serve as an exquisite setting for the grey towers, venerable with age, and the high and pointed red-tiled rools of the little town in the valley beneath. It seems sadly inappropriate, that this peaceful town, devoted to the arts and the sciences, should have given its name to that fierce battle-field near by, rendered celebrated through the fierce contest waged there between the French and Prussians so many long years ago. But no echo of this seems now to survive here. Jena has been the seat of a renowned university for more than three centuries, which still occupies an honorable place in Germany, famed for its institutions of learning. There is a charmingly primitive appearance about the town, its streets and ancient houses, extending even to its well-kept garden, and arching avenues. We found Jena slowly coming back to life, after the rest of the night. The good citizens tarried for a moment in their blossoming gardens, where white lilies lifted their head, coronetted with rain-drops, and then went forth for the more resolute action of daily business. School children came up the street with bags of books on their arms and smiles on their faces. Here and there a student passed on to an early lecture. In Jena still stand, the old inn of"The Bear," where Dr. Martin Luther after his "Patmos Exile" on the Wartburg, tarried while on hi. way to Wittenberg. It was here, that that very interesting conversation was held by him with certain Swiss students, of which we find so quaint and entertaining an account in the old churches. There is a delightful old custom in Jena which I wish might be copied in other university and college towns. When any fludent of the university, who has passed out into active life, has done anything to honor himself and hi. Alma Mater, hi. name is placed in a little tablet on the house where he lodged while here. You walk here as it were through a gallery of celebrated names. We found a keen enjoyment in thus tracing down through centuries, famous and now historic names to these simple and unpretentious student homes, ft was in a certain way, to have these men, some of whom have had their names long starred among the immortals, back again with us in the freshness, some of the grand dukes, ha. a certain charm and interest, even if melancholy. You would find the plain tomb by passing down the main avenue, where the linden trees meet nnd entwine like a gothic arch. In the early morning the place is vocal with birds. Herder', statue stands appropriately before the massive ancient church where he preached, near which he lived and died, and in whose nave he lies buried, beneath a slab bearing his motto, Licht, Liebe. Leben, (Life, Love. Life). In another street you would find the house of Wieland. The Ducal palace is an immenseaffair near the river and the park, very grand in its way, but nevertheless, we are told, Goethe's friend, the Grand Duke, preferred getting away from it to the poet's cottage with its roses and the society of its owner. If the poets have been the glory of Weimar—Weimar acknowledge, this in many grateful, reverent ways. But in no more graceful way than in those exquisite rooms in the palace, ornamented with paintings illustrating the works of those who have contributed most to the renown of the town. Facing the principal court, there is a charming balcony, festooned with the most perfect wreaths of natural ivy, which makes of the place a sort of bower, and which date from Goethe's day. This was one of his favorite nooks. I would not advise any driving business man, whose time is limited, to come to Weimar. I think an inforced stay of a few hours would render him insane. It is the quietest of quiet places, a delicious place for revery and dreaming and everything of that kind; but the people there have a ghostly way of flitting about like figures in a dream. A solitary soldier in flaming uniform, crosses the "Place" and then fades away you scarcely know how. Women fill their immense bucket, at the quaint fountain, surmounted by a lazy lion in stone, gazing patiently forward, and then depart in long lines like those weary of life. And the withered old lady with her stores of summer sweetness, gathered into purple plums and downy peaches, waits at the corner for buyers who never come. But as 1 was saying, it is a place of the dead and not of the living. Come here with this idea and you will never weary of the place; you learn to love it, for what it once was, and hence, in a certain way eternally is; for its memories, not its hopes; for its streets where great men walked, for the graves where they lie. early morning in an old university town. Some places are, like flowers seen at their best " with the dew on them." While others, as certain busy marts ofCommerce and traffic, should never be visited in the early morning, but only in the rush and tumult of high noon. To the first class 1 am persuaded the peaceful old university town of Jena belongs. At least, seeing it the other morning in those sweet, fresh hours of the day, when a large part of the world is asleep, and finding it so winningly beautiful, I have been led to this conclusion. Though Jena lie. some miles away from the town of Weimar, we had in the hopefulness, in th* bloom of their �THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, young manhood, with brow, showing the crown of genius, unhidden by the laurel chaplets, yet to be placed there by the world. It was a goodly company; and the day seemed to grow the brighter tor these names, written in plain letters on white walls, circled by wreaths of vines and summer verdure. I noticed those of Novalis, of. sacred memory, Klopstork, Goethe, Schiller, and a host of others, dear to all German hearts. Here in Jena, Goethe wrote his exquisite poem "Hermann and Dorothea," and Schiller "Wallenstein." If you find memories and names, you find also statues in bronze and marble, looking out from amid the shelter and embrace of drooping trees. The little town university does not. forget the sons who have gathered here strength for the work and mission of life: And the work still goes forward here. As we stood for a moment under the elms near the university, we could hear the words of some lecturer, unfolding truths new and old to his listening students. Pleasantest of all, however, of the innocent sensations of this early morning visit, was that afforded us by a little troop of choir boys who crossed our path. The good old custom still survives here, (so well known in Luther's days), of permitting the choir boys to sing in the village streets. I quite forgot the century and felt as if Martin Luther, the sweet boy chorister of Eisenach, and his little companions, were singing for us. They all wore solemn little cloaks of biack, their black hats also brought their sweet pale faces into pathetic relief, for ynu saw and felt that they ate the hard bread of charity. But how they sang! The morning air seemed vibrant with delicious melody, and the bird, hushed their songs in the trees. You would have wondered with me at the exquisite training of these young voices and at their fine rendering of old German songs and chorals. We heurd them in delighted surprise and these hymns of the early morning, sung by these young musicians who seemed to come to us as a vision of the middle ages, vanishing again, have echoed in our hearts ever since. But if we tarry too long we fear the dew will vanish, and perhaps with it the charm of the place and so "good, morning" to Jena! A MEMORABLE BATTLE-FIELD. Leipsic is an interesting and animated city, one of the most enterprising business centers in Europe, for centuries attracting buyers and sellers from all parts of the world. from the far east and south, to its spring and autumn fairs, the greatest book emporium in the world, possesses an ancient and renowned university, and is famous for its musical advantages; but though interested in all these points, the principal objects which attracted my attention in a recent visit to this bustling city were those connected with that great battle which occurred near Leipsic in 1813 and invaded these now peaceful streets. Every school boy has, I imagine, fought out in fancy the battle of Waterloo which occurred two year, later. I had the pleasure, a melancholy pleasure however, last summer of standing on the memorial bill, crowned by its crouching lion, and of surveying this great historic field where Napoleon's sun went down. I am not quite sure whether the field of Leipsic is as familiar to all, and 75 1880. yet the battle here waged wss the most prolonged and sanguinary which history records. Troubled as our own day still is with wars and rumors of wars, we can scarcely now have an idea of the great storm waves the restless genius and insatiable ambition of Napoleon raised in Europe in the early part of this century. They rose into a wild burst of tempestuous fury during those four terrible days from 16th to 19th October, ISI3, when nearly half a million of men met in fearful combat within sight of the churchspires of Leipsic. It seems almost incredible that such numbers could have been gathered together, yet history records that on the side of the allies in this "Battle of the Nations," were 300.000 men. Napoleon had something like 150,000 troops. The allies consisted of the Russians, Aostrians, Prussians. The place where the tragedy of these four bloody days was enacted, is admirably adapted to serve as a field for the handling of such immense bodies of men. It is less beautiful and picturesque than Waterloo, which possesses more elevated points. But it would seem almost as if in mine way this great plain stretching away for mdes had been created for some such purpose, as that which gives it such celebrity in history. On a slight elevation to the south, Napoleon had taken his position and watched the progress of the battle from this point. Surrounded by these golden fields of ripening grain, stretching far away to the verdant groupings of trees Nearer the city, rejoicing in all this summer beauty, in the blue of the afternoon sky, in the prosperous scenes of country life, in a thousand tokens of peace and plenty, I found it far from easy to realize that so many thousands here suffered and died on the very ground 1 was standing. There seemed a mute protest in this loveliness of the natural world against the passion, the blood-thirstiness, the revenge, the ambition of men. A shadow for the moment seemed to come across the shining of the sun, as I thought of the agony, of the wailing, of the woe of those autumn days, of all those maimed bodies which were laid away under these same gleaming harvest-fields, of the blood which stained the soil about me. Thousands and thousands died here. This lovely country is one vast burying-ground, and you almost ilreati to part the standing grain, and gather the field-daisies and poppies, for fear somewhere not far below lie hideous relics of the ghastly conflict. A maimed and crippled soldier who was wounded in the Danish war some years ago, act. as our guide. On a height facing the Napoleon-hill far away in the blue distance, the then monarchs of Russia, Austria and Prussia, met to give thanks for their victory. The spot is marked by an obelisk. Our soldier friend is a cheery fellow, with all his troubles. He and bis good frau live in a little cottage near by, and to every new comer they tell over the story of the battle, which they have learned by heart. They show you bone, and skulls and ru.ty sword, and broken guns, and all manner of dreadful things which they have picked up here. In different parts of the field and in the woods near by are monuments to mark the spot where officers of distinction fell. Involuntarily as you wander over this storied battle-ground, you feel the presence of armed hosts, the shock of contending forces, the wild ruth ofcavalry, bear the thunder of the cannon, the cries of the victors, the groans of the dying. It all grow, fearlully real, and you are glad to find it only a fancy. But what a reality it once wa«! There is a monument to mark the spot where Napoleon stood. You see here the famous Napoleon hat copied -in bronze. Not far away is a spring now sealed over our garrulous coachman tells u. that Napoleon drank here, and that since then the water ha. poi- — soned all who have tasted it. Will you believe bis story ? There are stories and dotes without end connected with various* points. It would be interesting to tell some of them, if one had but the time. But we must leave them now and the battle-field, and be back again in Leipsic before the July sun has gone down behind the fruit trees bordering our western horizon. DRESDEN AND ITS MADONNA. Few continental cities are so well known to the Americans as Dresden, the capital ■ A kingdom of Saxony. It is a source of*sJsWi pleasure to me to think that perhaps in some chance moment, some one who ha. been in Dresden may glance at these hastily written lines, and at the sight of this city's name (so potent is the spell ol some names) recall pleasant memories of this charming city on the Elbe. The wealthy and splendor loving king, and prince, who have made their home here for centuries, have filled the city with richest stores of art, and its cabinets of jewels, its museums, its picture-gallery, attract thousand/ of visitors and admirers And then the town is delightful in itself; life is quieter here than in many larger centers, and yet the advantages for intellectual improvement, for musical culture, and for social entertainment are excellent. The neighboring country, especially up the river into the fine bold scenery of Saxon Switzerland, is in summer most admirably adapted for pleasant trip, and excursions. We found Dresden gay with all its summer life, and the usual gaiety was heightened by the fetes connected with the visit to the oty of all the fire companies of Saxony. The place was decked out with a multitude of fluttering banners and leafy garlands and festoons, which gave it a very holiday appearance. The Briihl Terrace i. a charming tree-planted promenade, stretching some distance along the Elbe. On a summer evening, a.the sun is going down, a .troll is delightful here. The air is filled with the music of bands on both side, of the river, and the walks are crowded with people enjoying the evening air. How Germany and the visitor, to Germany enjoy the beauty of summer when it at last comes, for its coming i. often late. From the terrace the river crossed by massive and ancient stone bridges, and the city beyond with spire, and domes, come finely into view. The Elbe grows softly flushed with the waning light, which is deepened into rich shadow, under the great arches of the bridges, and if you wait a little longer, the moon comes up full orbed from behind the wooded hills, and makes of the city and its river a silvery picture. An enumeration of the various objects and points of interest to be seen in Dresden would, in the brief space allowed me, be impossible, even were such an enumeration de- �76 I II X sirable. You would find much to interest you in the famous "green vaults" beneath the palace, where the costliest and rarest treasure.are gathered,and yet your pity rises with your interest as you survey these accumulation, of material wealth. Their owners have passed way one generation after another, and these carven ivory trinkets, these gold and crystal goblets, these marvels of workmanship in silver and precious stones, gathered here in such lavish abundance; seem to serve as a pathetic commentary on all thing, earthly and human. The crown and other jewels are among the finest known, end are valued at fabulous sums. One learn, in the midst of such rare gems to appreciate the beauty of those subtle and delicate manifestation, of color and brilliancy, which seem to belong to genuine precious stone, as perfume to certain fragrant woods. The library ol Dresden is one of the finest in Europe, and in the collections of antiquities and especially in the admirably arranged rooms appropriated to armor you hours. might spend many most The central point of infßßhowever of the city is its superb Picture Gallery, which is one of the artistic glories of Germany and Northern Europe. Few if any galleries of the old world possess so many paintings familiar to visitors from the other side of the Atlantic a. this in Dresden. There is a delightful sensation on seeing the originals of these paintings, which from childhood have been known to you through engravings or other reproductions. You would find here Corregio's "Holy Night." that most beautiful of paintings'in which it would seem as if a celestial light streamed from the form nf the infant Christ; also the famous "Magdalens" of Corregio and Battoni; Titian's "Tribute Money"; Carlo Dolci'a "St. Cecilia"; splendid canvasses of Paolo Veronese; works by Rubens, by Rembrandt and a host of other celebrated painters. The especial treasure of the gallery however, is the "Sisterie Madonna," one of the masterpieces of the great Raphael,—known the world over. It is placed in a cabinet alone, and before it you always find a group of reverent and admiring visitors. There is as every one knows and feels, far too much of exaggerated artistic emotion expressed by great many travelers, and one scarcely in a healthy stale of mind at least, sympathizes with those who say that after seeing the "Sisterie Madonna," life can have nothing more in store for them. But leaving aside sUch undue and absurd feeling, we would join with those, 1 trust the large majority, who find in thi. beautiful painting of the Madonna and the Holy Child much to awaken tenderestand most reverential emotion at the thought of the subject, united with admiration of the artist's genius which has in so wonderful a manner placed the same before our human gaze. Every one is I am sure familiar with the general idea of the painting. The Madonna bearing in her arms the Infant Jesus, beneath the FRIEND, OCTOBER. I»,8 0 ceptions of the Virgin Mother and Child impress you with the beauty and fullness of the pure and unstained humanity and innocent simplicity disclosed in them. In this painting of Raphael, however, you seem to stand in the presence of a lofty spirituality. The Madonna takes her place as the most honored and exalted among her sex, and is here crowned with the beauty of a sacred maturity which if it does not raise her to the height of the Divine, seems to lift her above the level of the Human. Her eyes look filled with the glorious awe, which must have lighted those of the Hebrew maid bending before the Angel of the Annunciation and which shone still through the mother's tears at the foot of the uplifted Cross. And yet the Mother of our Lord, the kneeling saints, the cherub worshipers, the countless angelic throng, dawning faintly like stars in the misty cloud-depths of the back-ground, fade away before the Lord Himself, no less Divine because He bore the vesture of our weak Humanity, and rose through all the stages of our growth from clinging infancy great pity that the education of deserving Hawaiian youth abroad was not entrusted to the Board of Education under suitable regulations, not committed to such a notorious adventurer as C. C. Moreno. Under suitable condition, the experiment might have proved a brilliant success; now, we can only forebode a disgraceful failure. MARINEJOURNAL. PORT OF HONOLULU. S. I.

The weather has been unexceptionally good, thus affording a rare opportunity for visiting places of historic interest, including Potsdam, so intimately associated with Frederick the Great and those renowned characters of the eighteenth century who graced his court and rendered his reign among the most renowned in history of the sovereigns of modern Europe. It is quite noteworthy, that while revolution has succeeded revolution, yet the reigning sovereigns of the successive governments have preserved intact the old palaces, and theinarecal furniture and adornments, so that the visitor ot the closing years of the nineteenth century can walk through halls and courtly apartments, just as they are left by the kit gs and queens of former ages. The very playthings and toys of Frederick the Great, not omitting his "little boots" and drum when a lad, are now on exhibition, while room after room is to be seen filled with the furniture and robes of both kings and queens who have long since surrendered their thrones to their successors. On this account Berlin is a most interesting city to visit. But forsaking thepast, the living present is equally interesting. The month of June, 1880, is especially noteworthy in Berlin for having witnessed the Fishery Exhibition. At first thought one might ask, what of interest could be awakened in the general public by an exhibition of this nature? A person had only to walk through the halls and rooms devoted to an exhibition of the wonders of the deep, and he would not ask the question a second time. The words of the psalmist come to mind, as a visitor examines the rare pearls, the innumerable species of fish, the strange monsters, the beautiful corals, and the endless variety of unknown creatures that find their home beneath the surface of the ocean : "O Lord, how manifold Commercial & Statistical are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all; the earth is full of thy riches. So And Tourists' Guide, is this great and wide sea, wherein are NOW READY FOR DELIVERY. things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts." PRICE, 83.00.

The reading world hasrecently been favored with a most charming book entitled "Memoirs of yon Baroness Bunsen," in whicfi is depicted with rare and delicate ability by Julius Hare the home life o( the yon Bunsen'family. It is such a volume as we should be glad' to learn was read in every family of the English speaking apople throughout the world. The book was noticed some months ago in the pages of The Friend. On coming to Europe we deemed it a rare privilege to have become acquainted with members of this family, and on one occasion to have met three of the children of the Baron and Baroness, and five of their grand-daughters. EXCURSION TO HAMBURG AND BREMEN. In visiting the old world it is pleasant to meet with those in the great' commercial cities who are engaged in that department of Christian work, which for so many years has occupied our thoughts and enlisted our sympathies and prayers. When passing through Liverpool, Glasgow and London, we often conferred with those who are laboring for seamen. Since arriving in Europe we were requested to be present at Hamburg on the 21st of June, at the inauguration of the Sailors' Institute, as the representative of the American Seamen's Friend Society of New York. For many years, even for more than half a century, the Bethel Flag has been hoisted in Hamburg. The friends of the seamen's cause in that city one year ago laid the corner stone of the Sailors'lnstitute, and since then a fine building has been erected at the cost of about 810,000 upon land costing an equal amount, hence the formal opening of the institute was deemed to be an event worthy of special note. The following programme will indicate the nature of the exercises on this interesting occasion: The Inauguration of the British* and American Sailors' Institute, 29 Sandthor Quay, in connection with The British & Foreign Sailors' Society of London arid'the American Seamen's Friend Society of rtew York, Will take place at 7 p. rti. Jdne 21st, 1880. ORDER OF SERVICE : Edward Chaplin, Esq;, in the chair. The Rev. C. F. Weidemann will begin the setvice. The Key. J. Edwards will offer the inauguration prayer.

The Right Hon. the Lord Garvagh will deliver an address and declare the building open, to be used for the purposes for'which it was erected. The Treasurer F.

Dr. Damon of Honolulu, that this international institute and undenominational mission is worthy of the most generous support. Supported by Baron yon Oertzen. Proposed by tho Rev. C. F. Weidemann of Hamburg, seconded by the Rev. J. Edwards of Hamburg, that the warmest thanks of this meeting be given to the Right Hon.

Weideman.n, Jams! Edwards, Secretaries. The exercises proved most satisfactory to all the friends of seamen who are laboring so energetically to provide preaching and wholesome entertainment for them while ashore in this most ancient port of the old city of Hamburg, whose commerce has been in a most flourishing condition since the days of the old Hanseatic League, when Hamburg, Bremen, Lubeck, and other maritime cities combined bined for the protection of commerce and against those old Vikings of the north, whose swift craft ploughed the German ocenn and occasionally made depredations upon the rich cities of Western Europe, laying them under tribute. It was a great pleasure to visit Hamburg and look out upon a place which may be well proud of its wealth and enterprise, its prosperous merchants and bold mariners. It is a beautiful city, and with its charming Alster Lake in its bosom, beautified by its swiftflying steamers and white swans with their arching necks, presented one of the most rare spectacles from the windows of "Hotel dc l'Europe," upon which we ever gazed. The environs of the city and the banks of the Elbe, adorned with the residences of the rich merchants of Hamburg, are equally beautiful. We spent a Sabbath there, and visited two of the churches built in the style of mediaeval ages, with a mixture of modern architecture. We did not omit a visit to the famous "Rauhe Hans" and Klopstock grave. But we must hurry away to Bremen. With no city of Europe have we been more familiar during the past forty years. During the early years of our labors in Honolulu, Bremen whaleships very frequently came under our notice. We account it among the very pleasant experiences of our European visit, to have been met at the railroad station by our old friends Mr. and Mrs. Hackleld, to whose kind attentions we are under the greatest obligations. We did not feel the least strangeness on thus enter- ing a city which we had never seen or visited before. We hardly know with what words to express the delightful experiences of our stay of a few days in Bremen. Honolulu and Bremen seemed strangely and delightfully mingled, while the past and the FRIEND.

Readng • At a meeting of the trustees of Kaumakapili Church held on the evening of the 28th ult., after the preliminary business was concluded, Rev. M. Kuaea, the pastor and building committee of the new church, informed the members that it was his wish and intention to confer with them in all matters relating to the building of the new edifice. After a short discussion it was carried unanimously, that the trustees should act as That an advisory committee with him. everything pertaining to the tearing down of the old, and the erection of the new building should come before them and receive their approval and sanction before entering upon the work. The trustees also have the full control of the money that has been collected, about 115,000, not a dollar of which can be paid out without their order. We hope that Mr. D. L. Moody will be able to accept the invitation of the Y. M. C. A. to come on to Honolulu, when his visit to San Francisco has been completed. He could find plenty of work to do for a while, and would undoubtedly accomplish a great deal of good here. He has been very successful elsewhere, and why should he not be here. The various churches will co-operate with him, and he will have all the assistance that the association can render. We had the pleasure of hearing him four times in the Hippodrome in New York City in 1876.

We shall never forget the eloquence of his addresses; one's attention was held spell-bound from beginning to end. The great and solemn truths of the Bible were laid down in a simple and impressive manner, and lasting good is the result. We wish that Mr. SanWey could come. His success has been marvelous.
