It is always pleasant to persons residing in any part of the world to introduce tourists and visitors to whatever is noteworthy and remarkable. Residents on the Hawaiian Islands, may not be able to conduct their visitors to old ruins such as are remarkable in Europe, Asia, or Atrica. but we can show u live volcano and accompany them over broad fields of lava still emitting steam and smoke; we can take them through tropical forests and under the shadow of stately ferns; we can invite them to gaze upon mountains, lofty and impressive such as Maunu Kea, Mauna Loannd Haleakala; we can accompany them to valleys like that of Waiiuku, which for beauty, and picturesque effect is without its equal in any part of the world. Although Island scenes and scenery are by no means new to us, yet we have enjoyed exceedingly our trip to Maui and Hawaii, in company with Mr. and Mis.

Lyman of Chicago, formerly a pupil at Punahou, and now "Prof, of Physiology and Diseases of the Nervous System in Bush Medical College, Chicago 111., and Prof, ot Theory and Practice of Medicine, in the Woman's Medical College, Chicago, III." The book furnishes a very interesting and readable treatise on Anaesthetics. Between forty and fifty different methods of producing insensibility to pain, are described in this work j among which, the'administration of chloroform occupies a prominent place. One of the most suggestive chapters, is entitled " Death during the Inhalation of Chloroform." In reading this chapter, when we got as far as Case 393, we began to think we did not need any chloroform, and were disposed to omit the reading of the 17 additional More than twenty of the pages arc illustrated by drawings showing the tracings made by the sphygmo. gr*ph, in which the irregular and w.ivy lines correspond with the irregular and failing ction of the heart under the influence of different anaesthetics.

The glory will alwnys be hers of having first among Asiatic States, shown herself capable of marching in the forefront of civilization, almost abreast with the most advanced nations of the vunutod West."— Qtattrrly Review. " . The attention of the whole civilized world has been dr.iwn for the prist quarter of a century to the marvellous transformation which the interesting Empire of Japan has been undergoing1 A series of important volumes of travel, have enlightened, to a certain degree. the general re.ider, in reference to the nature of the changes which have been there wrought. Where there was so much to praise it is possible that some of these writers, carried away by their enthusiasm, have imparted a somewhat too roseate tinge to their descriptions of the progress of the nation, so that many have been led to believe that suddenly a " Golden Age hns dawned upon the Japanese, and that, in some magical way, the evils of long centuries of heathenism and despotism have been swept away, and that nothing more remains to be accomplished here. This is far from being the case, as any one can see, who even for a short time visits this ancient l-md. Still, that which has been accomplished here, cannot fail to fill the new comer with wonder end admiration, especially if he come from the coast of Asi*, where traditions and superstitions, relics of a hoary past, still rule with so tyrannical a sway. The seed of Western civilization and ideas, has been planted, and under favoring influences is springing up into vigorous life. Slowly, but we would truht surely, the leaven of Christianity is beginning to operate. That this best and mightiest of uplifting agencies may thoroughly permeate the empire, should be the earnest prayer of the Church. For, as Miss Bird Buys, at the close of her brilliantly written description of Japan. "The great hope for her is that she may grasp the truth and purity of primitve Christianity, as taught by the lips and life of our Lord Jesus Christ, as resolutely as she has grasped our arts and sciences; and that, in the reception of Christianity, with its true principles of manliness and national greatness, she may become, in " �FRIEND, Til 18 FEBRUARY, 1882. the highest sense, • The Land of the Biting after the moon came up, and softened and silvered its outlines, and we were told that Sun,' nnd the light of Easifrn Asia."

And all the " Venice of Japan," from the great numthis beauty surrounded us for the day, and ber of canals which intersect the city. The ' , '' '' ,l . ' Imperial Mint is situated here. .After a delightful hour or two on the train, passing through a beautiful farming region, devoted largely to rice, we arrived at the famous city of Kioto, the former capital of the Mikado, nnd the second city of Japan. Nowhere during my visit in this charming country did I feel that I was seeing something of old Japan so much as in Kioto. It is notone of the cities open to foreigners for the purposes of trade, ..nd is not so modernized or pervaded by foreign influences as Tokio, where the Emperor now resides. It is most beautifully situated in a spreading plain, surrounded by a picturesqne fringe of hills, and abounds in delightful gnrd ns and groves. The number of temples here is very grot and we were obliged to content ourselves with vis ting only the most important. Some of them are singularly impressive, being situated in the midst of solemn and nncient groves of stately evergreens, and many of theai are most admirably kept. The shrines and altars are sometimes, magnificently decorated with ihe most costly im iges and ornaments and vises in gold and silver, bronze and lacquer. Some of them are provided with huge bells of remarkably deep and mellow tone. The city contains about 300,000 itihnbitints, and is Uid out with broad streets at right angles. Most of the houses are low, the front nnd lower story being devoted to shops. The streets are full of end ess amusement to the stnnger. The running, shouting, half-naked jin-riki-sha men, the hurrying crowd of busy buyers and sellers the funny groups of children and babies, the occasional passing of some lady elegantly attired in silks and crapes, and looking for all the world, as if she had stepped out of some gorgeous Japanese fan or piinting; the shaven-headed Buddhist bonzes, the Deddlers and showmen and a thousund other different figures, make up ■ picture, at once str.mge and fascinating. We went once to the theater, where a pmtomiine was being given, the actors wearing magnificent costumes, but the music of the orchestra nearly drove us frantic. The people seemed however to enjoy it hugely. Kioto seemed always to be an fete. In the evenings the shops were brilliantly lighted nnd the most attactive wares were set out. Gayly painted lanterns were everywhere exhibited. The streets were thronged with a dense, but good natured crowd. You would never hive thought that they were ihe hardworking people that they really are. At one or two of the temples, during ihe time of our visit to this city, there seemed to be some great festival going forward. The grounds were splendidly illuminated and filled with crowds of people. Kioto was formerly the residence of the Emperor, or Mikado, while the military rulers of the country, the Tycoons, or Shoguns lived nt Yedo, now called Tokio. The palace of the Mikado, which we visited in Kioto is an immense one story structure, remarkable for nothing except its exquisite neatness. The shops of Kioto are most interesting, Some of the finest manufactures of the country are produced here. The bronzes are especially fine.

But a Japanese is a born host and at the same time, the most inquisitive man in nil the world. So. my birth-right came in well again, lor was not I a subject of the good and great Kalakaui?

Shortly after his departure, His Majesty made infinitely glad a number of Japanese gentlemen, by the bestowal upon them of Hawaiian Decorations These had just arrived, and the h'ppy possessors were anxious to give vent to their gratitude, ■• 1 came just in time, to let a little of it overflow on to me. It was decided that I should be honored with a grand dinner in the most approv ed Japanese style. This was given by a number of gentlemen connected with the Foreign Office and various officials from other offices and the Court and most delightful and interesti"g aff.ir it was. coming off just the evening before I left Tokio, the cap- • ital. A gentleman friend who was travelling with me. was also invited, and the Hawaiian Consul accompanied us. The ClubHouse where the dinner was given, is situated in the heart of the great, busy bustling capital of Japan, not far away from the magnificent tombs of the Tycoons or Shoguns, in the Shibi quarter of the city. The shadows of the soft mellow July evening were beginning to fall as we hastened through the streets, twinkling with thousauds of gaily tinted lanterns, in our jin-riki-shas the cabs of Japan. Every one who has been in Jap- �20 TII I an looks bark with delight to this method of conveyance. Imagine yourself placed in a magnified baby carriage, delightfully comfortable and cushioned, and drawn by a fleet long-winded, laughing Jap., with arms and legs muscularly grand enough to have served Michael Angelo as models. No fear of shying or kicking hor*es, or runaway teams. Your man is better than any thoroughbred. Two of them have taken me. in one day. nearly sixty miles, over a terrible road. But where could this be possible, except in countries where the human being, poor fellow, seems to be a drug in the market! Our "pull-man cars brought us very quickly to Shiba, and then a strong and steady pull up hill, and we were greeted with a blaze of hospitable light from the opened doors of the club. About the doors stood a throng of jin-riki-shas, and of laughing horses, 1 mean men. We were to have a large party. One of our hosts stood at the door to welcome us, and a throng of attendants were in waitingto take our hats nnd shoes. For when one is in Rome he must follow the habits and customs of the Romans. And here, on this exquisite, soft, cream-tinted matting, no one thinks of standing with his shoes on his feet, any more than on a bed of down. So we were led up through lines of smiling and bowing servants to the large hall above. This was a beautiful room, finished with all the refinement of Japanese art. and yet severely simple. Here the company were waiting to receive us, and the work of introduction began, in this land of Chesterfieldian etiquette, no slight undertaking. But first of all I was delighted to see one lady's countenance there, that of Mrs. Sannomiya, a charming English lady, married to a Japanese gentleman of high position, who with her husband I had known intimately, for years, in Berlin, where Mr. Snnnomiya was Charge d'Affaires of the " Japanese Legation. According to Japanese fashion we all sat down upon the beautiful floor, with Mrs. S. and myself in the place of honor, nnd the different gentlemen, arranged on either side in a semi circle. Then came a long line of pretty Japanese girls, exquisitely dressed in the national costume, than which, there is nothing daintier or more graceful in all the world, who first bowed themselves quite down to the floor, in the most reverent manner, and then placed before us the first FRIEND, FEBRUARY, the frieze of the dining hall, aud painted in to this charming country and its interesting loose luxuriant sprays on the fans which lay people, I launched out on the bosom of the about in profusion.

We herewith present the report of the llth voyage of the Missionary packet '"Morning Star" No. 3, to the Micronesiau Islands, 1881-82 " Sailed from Honolulu, June 23d, 1881, and proceeded first to the Gilbert Islands as usuul, with Mrs. L. Y. Suow and Miss L. S. Cathcurt July 7th, as missionary passengers for Kusaie. sighted aud passed Baker's Island July 12th, sighted uud passed Byron's Island, stopped at Peru Maud ; July 13th, auchored at Tapitenea aud sailed again the day after with the teachers on board, stopping same day at Nanouti for the teacher there. At the two latter islands we were Storm Bird." July in company with the brig 7th, anchored at Apeniama and sailed the next day with teachers ; on the l'Jth stopped at Maiana and took teachers and sailed next day ; July 23d took the teachers from Marakei in the morning and auchored outside Apaiaug sume evening. After a general meeting of the Gilbert Island teachers at Apaiaug, we sailed from there, narrowly escaping the reef iv consequence of a calm. Lauded the teachers again at Marakei ou the morning of August 4th aua anchored outside Butaritari same evening ; sailed from Butaritari to go through the group again ami return the teachers, August Bth, touching again at Peru, August 21st. Supplied the Samoan teachers there with provisions, as the "John Williams" with their supplies was overdue and they were liviug on cocoanuts. Wo wer« at Tapitenea again August 12nd aud 23rd Nunouti, 24th ; Apemauni, 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th ; Maiana, 30th. in company with the schooner "Panuonia ;'' Tarawa, August 31st and September Ist uud 2nd, returning to Apaiong September 4th in compauy with the barkviitiiie "George Noble." September tith we sailed fiom the Gilbert to the Marshall Islands, with Rev. A. C. Walkup aud wife as passengers. Passed the schooner "Alaska," bound south. September 13, we anchored at Jaluit, passing the wreck of the "Storm Bird" as we went in. From there we shipped provisions and mail to the Hawaiian missiouuries at Mejiiro aud Aruo, and sailed ucxt day. Sep- : ; " : FEBRUARY, teinber 18th sighted Kili and Namerick Islands, and Kusiut: on the 21st. coming to anchor ou the 24th. after a long calm in which the vessel whs carried toward the island by a strong current, and only escaped destruction by her anchors taking ground and holding her stern about fifty feet from dangerous breakers. By the aid of a light breeze which soon sprung up we worked out to a safe distance from a position similar to that in which the last "Morning Star" was wrecked, upon this same island. There appeared bo little prospect of wiving her that all the lady passengers hud been started away from her in a boat. After remaining ten days at Kusaie laudiug a house and other cargo, and all the missionary passengers, we sailed, October sth, for the Caroline Islands. October 9th passed Pingelap; stopped at Mokil on the 10th, and anchored at l'onape on the 11th. Taking in Rev. E. T. Doane and native passengers, we sailed ou our return to Pingelap and Mokil October 15th. Spent the 18th of October standing off and on at Mokil, and tho 22nd at Pingelap. October 25th we hove to off Ponape and Mr. Doane went ashore iv the boat nud, leaving his scholars, came ou board again in the evening, when we sailed for Mortlocks and ltuk. We were in company all that doy with the schooner " Pannonia" bound for San Francisco, by which we sent a large mail. From October 13th to 31st both mates were laid up aud we were without officers. Arrived at Lukauor November 2nd ; Satoan 4th; Etal Bth; Namolonk oth and Losap 11th. In entering Losop lagoon against a head wind and tide we ran aground in a foot less water than the vessel was drawing, and remained there for over two hours, when the rising tide took us off with a damaged shoe. From the time of leaving Honolulu a leak iv the ship had been gradually increasing until we were pumping two hours or more a day. After the accident at Losap up to December 3rd, no more pumping was required. November 12th stopped at Nama and anchored in ltuk lagoon on the 13th. Visiting three different islands in that lagoon we sailed ou the return trip to the east. November 18th and arrived aguin at Ponape November 28th. December Ist we Hailed from Ponape for Kusaie, stopping at Mokil the third time, to land passengers, ou the 3rd. Ou tho. night ofDecember 3rd the old leak broke out again and continued to increase rapidly till the iHhinst., when we arrived at Kusaie with a tired crew aud ou uuseaworthy ship, making more than Aye feet of water in tweuty-four hours. Not having the menus of heaving down we discharged everything unbent Hails, sent down spars and at the highest tides hauled up into the mud at the mouth of a river to examine the bottom as far as poHKible. At the lowe=»t tide three huge places were found with broken copper, one above and two below. These planks were entirely riddled by worms, and a large leak discovered in the garboartlstrtuik. The leak above water we were able to repair ijuite thoroughly ; the two below we were obliged to trust to the work of the Hawaiian sailors who did their best to cover them with tarred duck and copper by diviug. Cousideriug the condition of the vessel it was thought best by all to make the attempt to reach Honolulu and have the vessel put in thorough repair before fluiHhing the work in the Marshall Inlands. Loadiug the vessel iv ballast trim we took ou board Itev. A. C. Walkup, wife and child for Apaiung via Honolulu, aud sailed for this port December 2tfth. We have sighted and passed islands fifty-six times ; made thirty-six stopping places ; entered fifteen lagoons ; anchored forty-six times ; besides lying to and standing off and ou one hundred aud fifteen hours, and had three huudred uud nineteen passengers. Calms and currents have been more favorable than usual, having had but four hundred and twenty-nine hours calm and three huudred and ninety-five miles adverse currents. The whole distance sailed ou the entire voyage is twelve thousand, three hundred and sixty-two miles. From the meridian and 30- uorth latitude we havo had nothing but fresh breezes from E. to N.N.E. till we reached Isaiah I!kav, Commander. port. Honolulu, Feb. lad, 1863. 21 1882. The Editor visits Hawaii and Maui. Beautiful Homes, We have often met tourists visiting our Islands, when returning from a visit to Hawaii and Maui, who had a long chapter to rehearse of the unpleasant incidents of travel. They never would cease to repeat their discomforts, by sea and land-travel. Any little inconveniences incidental to a tour among the Islands we should deem unworthy of the slightest mention, when compared with the beauties of the natural scenery, but more especially ot the many beautiful and charming homes, into which it has been our privilege to enter. We have not forgotten the Missionary welcomes and entertainments of former years; but if some old missionhomes have been broken up. and the venerable occupants removed to the Home above, a few still remain in all their pristine beauty ! The Missionary children and others have created new homes, of the very loveliest type. We have recently enjoyed the privilege of being a guest in several of the abodes now existing on Hawaii and Maui. It would be invidious to particularize, but the pleasant home-pictures left on our mind by the brief so-journ in some of their nooks, are most delightful to recall. A well ordered Christian family is among the most beautiful of earthly pictures. A group of such families forms the best of communities, and forms the foundation of all that is most lovely in this world. There may be much of evil in our island community, but we have recently visited mnny homes of the best type where exists all that is pure and lovely. It is their existence which makes us hopeful for the future. They are the salt of the earth ! Blessings on them all. of Kilauea.—It is for so many have spoan old story to repeat, ken and written about it, from the days of Mr. Ellis to the present time. After Miss Bird's descriptiou, and the scientific notice by Mr. Brigham, and the touches of the brush and pencil by Mr. Furneaiix. little remains to be said by ordinary writers, but it still remains one of ihe most impressive and tearfully grand objects in nature. There is no other volcano on our globe which will compare with it for grandeur and magnitude, at the same time will allow the visitorto approach its brink and gaze far down into its fiery depths —at one moment smoldering and apparently quiet, but the next breaking up and rolling in fearful waves of molten U*a Mr. Lentz our host at the Volcano House told us •• you have only to wait and you wil see it break up."

Well, one must go and see for oneself. Although this wis our fifth visit, —the first in 1844, followed by others in '57, '02, '68 —yet we can truly remark, that like the Key. Mr, Coan, who is sometimes spoken of as the Bishop of Kilnuea. and was wont to make an annual visit, we should not be disinclined to go as often, for all visitors should come away, wiser and better for the solemn reflections thereby suggested. hiiving never seen any other mountain sceneery than that of Palestine.

A quiet Sabbath, with such surroundings, is surely »s much to be desired, as «mitl the columns and under the dome of St. Paul's or St Peter's, or in any of the world-renowned cathedrals or churches of the old or new world. It is well to gi forth in obedience to the s ggestion of Bryant in biaThanatopaia,and listen to the '• still voice :" 22 A Quiet Sabbath at the Volcano, For years we have desired to spend u quiet Sabbath ot the great Crater of Kilauea. Du- ring our recent visit to Hawaii, that wish has been fully gratified. Starting from Hilo Saturday morning, January 14th. after a horse-back walk of fourteen hours, our party reached the Volcano House at 11 o'clock P. M., riding during five hours through the mountain foiest without the light of the Moon, and with only the, light of the stars, and the lurid glare of the Volcano, reflected from the overhanging cUuds. Such a moonless ride through the forest with a lady companion, we did not anticipate, but ' all is well that ends well," and leaves something to talk about. Irving remarks, in his sketch book, that the traveller is always sure to be welcomed by the Hotel keeper, now mine host of the Volcano House, Mr. Lentz, forms no exception to ths remark. During our sojourn he was most attentive, and ever kept a generous fire in the open fire-place which was peculiarly welcome at the time of our arrival, when cold and chilled by the damp mountain night-air. . But we were speaking of the quiet Sabbath. The morning ws cool, Thermometer at ft4Q The air was most, bracing and invigorating, Mauna Lou and Maun-i Kea in full view, and mantled with snow, far down their rugged and lava-scarred slopes. Before us yawned that great, black, smoking steaming ch»sm. The sky was nearly cloudless, and the stillness seemed almost oppressive. Scarcely a breath of wind all day, and no mm. It is a good place for prolound reflection and meditation We havere-id books of science and sentiment upon the Volcano of Kilauea, but renlly the most suitable book to be read in the presence of such grand mountain scenery, and such fearful exhibitions of Divine power, is the Bible, but especially the Psalms of David. The marvel and wonder is how David could ever have given utterance to such sublime musings, :" ferth under the open Iky, and list "ToGoNature's IMChlDgl, white frOQ »ll around, Kurtli and lor Htill witters, Conies the..7,7/ ntice. an.l the depth! of air Mahukona.—The enterprise and push of Mr. Wilder has effectually changed this one rugged and rocky little port on Hawaii Such ledges and masses of rocks and lava would have daunted the zeil, and quenched the nrdor of most men, but .Mr. Wilder with an hundred chin imen, and a score of white laborers about ten months ago, made attick upon these rocks and ledges to put them in place for making a good Landing and Railroad Depot. We are sorry to lenrn, that after boring 805 feet, and expending $5,000. the effort to bore for fresh water at Mihukona has not been successful. We could wish the Government would cirry forward the enterprise a few hundred feet in addition for we think that Artesian wells should be made successful if possible. Already about seven miles of the R. R from Mahukona to Knhala, has been completed. The curs are running back and forward, several times each dav. The arnvil and departure of the trains impirt a life and animation to the scene. .Mr. Wilder hopes in a month or so. to run the train into Kohala. Words fail us to express the glid results which will follow to the planters and others living in that region, but especially to the poor horses which have been driven over those riij»ged hills ! Such enterprises area real blessing to the Kingdom. Would that more of them were started and encouraged by judicious an I liberal government ap- 1882. Mr. Kouse, Rev. James Alexander, and others are affording all the assistance in their power. The importance of affording encouragement to all such enterprises cannot be overestimated. They are the beginning of good things. It was reported that some 14 males, 3 females and 14 children, form the Christian party. A few of them come up from Spreckelsville. Let planters and others give all possible encouragement to these new gatherings, and good results will folKahului Railroad. Having, in former years, been conveyed in mule cart or on horseback, between East and West Maui, it was pleasant to be hurried at a rapid rate of speed on the new R. R.. Constructed by the enterprise and capital of Capt. Hobron. Some miles have already been completed, and additional miles are projected. Aside from the real convenience and saving to the Planters and others, this road is a boon to the patient ox horse, or mule. For the sike of the toiling beasts we hope other R. R. will be undertaken. On the plantations we are gratified to notice that the plantets are contriving new methods of transportation, which are labor-saving and money-saving, as well as releasing animals from their toils ! On Mr. Baldwin's plantation, fluming the cmc to the mill, is most sucessfully carried forward. On Hawaii this method has been long in use. a Oahu College Building Fund. From the recent entertiinment, initiated and carried forward by Mr. J. B. Castle and his sister, Miss C rrie Castle assisted by others the sum of $422 25 was realized, leivin"- a balmceof $308 75, after paying expenses. In our next issue we hope to report the exact amount of money on hand for buildinopurposes. Such efforts as this of Mr. Castle and his sister, are worthy of all pnise. • Kalani of Oahu.—Just as our paper was going to press, we noticed in Whitney and Robertson's Book Store, another book on the Islands, with the above title. It purports to be an historical romance, by C. M. Newell who visited the Islands many years ago, for on rage 413 we notice the remark, " The first draft of this work was written on the propriations. spot, thirty years ago."
