His father, Hon. S. C. Allen, was an eminent lawyer of Massachusetts, a member of the legislature of the same state and also a memlier of Congress. Mr. Allen graduated with distinction from William's College in 1823, after which he studied law in his father's office at Brattleboro, Vt., and in 1826removed to Bangor, Maine, and began the practice of law. He was a member of the state legislature from 1836 to 1841, and in 1838 was speaker of the House. He took a prominent part in the settlement of the north-eastern boundary question at that time. He was elected to the twenty-seventh congress taking his seat in March, 1841. He failed of election to the succeeding term, the successful competitor being Hannibal Hamlin, afterward Vice-President of the United States, and who was one of the pall bearers at Mr. Allen's funeral at Bangor. He was on the foreign affairs committee while in Congress, and was further concerned in the settlement of the north-eastern boundary question. In 1846 Mr. Allen took up his residence in Boston and there practised law. In 1849 he was elected to the legislature of Massachusetts, and in 1850 was appointed U. S. Consul to the Hawaiian Islands, and left shortly after for this country. He decided to remain in the islands and gave up his office to accept a place in the Hawaiian cabinet as Minister ofFinance. He was sent as Envoy to the United States in 1856, and was appointed Chief Justice and Chancellor in 1857, which office he held for the long term of twenty years. He was sent to the United States on diplomatic missions in 1864, and in 1870 was again accredited to the government and has held the position ever since. He labored long and earnestly in behalf of a treaty of reciprocity between the two governments and it was largely due to his efforts that the present treaty was negotiated in 1876. Notwithstanding his advanced age, within a few weeks of seventy-nine years, he was still engaged in active work in favor of the treaty at the time of his death. He was the dean of the diplomatic corps at Washington and fell dead shortly after paying his respects to the President with his colleagues. He was a trusted and honored servant of this kingdom, whose gratitude he has richly earned, and was held in the highest regard by his large circle of official and personal acquaintances in Washington and elsewhere in the East. His death is a great loss and is much to be regretted by the people of these islands, who all unite in tending to the bereaved relatives their most sincere sympathy and warmest aloha. g �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 10 NEW GUINEA AND THE NEW GUINEA MISSION. BY REV. A. W. MURRAY. The Island of New Guinea, as we all know, lies close to the shores of Australia. It is separated from the extreme north point, Cape Yorke, by a channel only about eighty miles in breadth. This channel, Torres Straits, is studded with islands, so in passing from Australia to New Guinea, land is always in sight. The island of New Guinea, so named by the early Dutch navigators, from a fancied resemblance to Guinea on the coast of Africa, is now ascertained to be the largest island on our globe. Like most of the islands of Polynesia it lies NNW. and SSE. It is wholly to the south of the equator, extending from 0° 22' to 10° 42' south latitude, and from about 125° to 150° east longitude. Its extreme length is 1,490 miles, and its greatest breadth is 410 miles. It has an area of about 300,000 square miles, about double that of Japan, and the estimated population is 2,133,000. This estimate qf course can only be taken as an approximation towards correctness, it is not however a mere guess. It is based upon the ascertained population of parts well known, which shows 640 to the square mile, and applying that to the whole area, as given by Wallace, the most reliable authority, it yields the number we have named, It is hardly likely that this an is overestimate. Of the interior of this great land, little is known, and even many parts of the coast have been very imperfectly examined, and it may safely be affirmed that no part of the globe of equal extent is so little known. It is just to us now what the interior of Africa was to our fathers fifty years ago—an unknown land. And does not this fact invest it with a profound interest ? What a field for exploration and discovery is before the missionary and the traveller! 2,133,000. 1883. further refer to the island as a whole. This part of the island, beginning at Torres Straits, has a coast line of about 600 miles, and on the south side within the space of about 400 miles along the coast and 15 inland ; there is a population of about 55,000. Our knowledge of this is the result of a careful estimate made by our enterprising brother Mr. Chalmers, who has visited every place of importance from the great gulf, close to Torres Straits, to the East Cape which forms the extreme point of the island. The most noticeable feature in this part of the island is a magnificent mountain range named the Owen Stanley Range, after the commander of one of Her Majesty's ships, who visited the island many years ago. This gentleman was a brother of the late Dean Stanley, and it is an interesting fact that his mortal remains lie interred in Australian soil, I believe in the North Shore Cemetery, close to those of the late Commander Goodenough. This mountain chain extends from near the gulf to within thirty miles of the East Cape, and it attains its greatest height in one grand mountain, which monarch-like, towers above the rest reaching the height of 13,200 feet. This is directly in the rear of Port Moresby, our chief missionary centre, and it forms one of the grandest sights on this part of New Guinea. Besides the great mountain range there are many smaller ranges, and there are mountains and hills of all shapes and sizes which we must not stop to particularize. The main range may be about forty miles inland, and along the coast there is a belt oflow-land of varying breadth, and there are rich and fertile valleys and streams and rivers, varying in size from the tiny rivulet that trickles down the mountain side, to the great Fly River, which, at its junction with the ocean is, I think about three miles in breadth. In some parts the soil seems poor, being covered with long coarse grass and scrub ; in others it appears equal to that of the finest islands No one has yet succeeded in crossing even the narrow eastern peninsula, and that is the only part of the island with which we have any considerable of Polynesia. acquaintance. Our knowledge of that All the principal places on the south dates from the the first missionary voy- coast, and also many places thirty or age to the island in 1871, made by Mr. forty miles inland have been visited by McFarland and myself. Before that Mr. Chalmers, so we have reliable inwe knew about as little of that part as formation respecting the numerous we now do of the main body of the tribes that inhabit these parts. The island, and since our missionary opera- various tribes differ considerably among tions are confined to that, I need not themselves. The Malay race seems decidedly to predominate, and though there seems a wide diversity among the languages spoken by the differenttribes, I think it probable that the differences will be found to be dialectic and not radical, a matter of great importance in a missionary point of view. Some of the tribes are cannibals, but the great majority are not Some are very quarrelsome, and are frequently at war, while others are more quiet aud peaceNo trace of infanticide has been found among them. On the contrary they are fond of their children, and brothers and sisters show much affection for each other, and children reverence their parents; and Mr. Chalmers makes the following important remark which goes far towards accounting for these unusually favorable traits among a heathen people :•—" No where have I found polygamy prevalent enough to call the New Guinea natives polygamists out and out." And this accounts also for another redeeming feature in the character of the people of New Guinea, women are more fairly treated than in most heathen lands with which I have any acquaintance. The men do all the heavier work, leaving to the women that which is more suited to their sex. To this however there is one remarkable exception—the women are the carriers of burdens, but to this they seem to take naturally without regarding it as anything of a hardship, and from habit they are able to carry great loads on their heads with apparent ease. Mr. Chalmers speaks of having seen women with loads high piled on their heads, and on the top of all a baby, climbing steep hills, 1,600 feet high with as much ease as if there were on a fine "macadamized road. Some of the tribes bear a very bad character and evidently deserve it, but on the whole, the natives of New Guinea compare favorably with most savage nations with which I am acquainted. We cannot compare them with what the Samoans were in their heathen state, but they are certainly of a much less fierce type than were the Fijians ; nor are they such ferocious cannibals as were some of the Hervey Islanders, the ancestors of the men and women who are now laboring among them as missionaries; and as regards their moral character, there is reason to believe that that stands considerably higher than did that of the Tahitian and Hervey Islanders before they were brought under the influence of the Gospel. able. (To be continued.) �THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, 1883, NEWS BY THE MISSIONARY PACKET. The Morning Star arrived Thursday morning. She left June 19, 1882, and on this, her twelfth voyage, sailed 12,229 miles. The winds and currents have been unusually favorable, as Captain Bray reports only 431 hours of calm and 543 miles of head current. July 10th, anchored at Tapiteuea, finding the George Noble there. Nineteen days were spent in the Gilbert Islands. At Apemama the King and 300 of.his people were waiting to be admitted to the church. He had visited Maiana and addressed the people there, urging them to give up dancing and drinking and accept the religion of Jesus. On Marakai the old man, who is the ruling power in this ap in many other islands of the group, had enacted a prohibitory law. Whoever persisted in making or drinking toddy had his cocoa-nut trees cut down as a penalty. At Apaiank Rev. Mr. Walkup put his house and school on board the Morning Star and moved the institution to Kusaie. Left Butaritari July 29, and arrived at Kusaie August 13th. The various missionaries here organized themselves into the Micronesian Mission, with the design of holding an annual meeting and conferring with one another on the condition and progress of the missionary work. Ponape was reached August 27th, Mokil and Pingelap being visited on the way. Rev. Mr. Sturgis, Rev. Mr. Houston and wife, Mr. Rand and Miss Fletcher were landed here, and Mr. Rand's house. September Ist the Morning Star returned to Kusaie, and taking on board Dr. Pease and his family and scholars with Mrs. Rand, sailed September 16th for a voyage through the Marshall Islands, touching at Namerik, Ebon, Jaluit (where Mr. A. Capelle has recently been appointed United States Consular Agent), Mille, Arno, Mejuro, Maloeap, taking away for Honolulu the Hawaiian missionary Kekuewa, and anchored again October 29th at Kusaie, having visited all the missionary stations and given the old scholars (twelve men and boys) an opportunity to visit home, and taking two new ones. Landed Mrs. Rand at Ponape November 7th, and then taking Rev. Mr. Doane and some Ponapean teachers, sailed for the Mortlocks and Ruk. At Uman 200 of the Ruk natives came on board to visit the largest vessel. A new teacher was landed at Tefan; the one left last year at Utet had died. There are now four churches with ninety-three members in Ruk, and the whole people as well as others to the west are desirous of teachers. Reached Ponape December 12th, on the return voyage, having been gone only thirty-one days. December 21 st started homeward for Honolulu, bringing back Mr. and Mrs. Houston, whose intention at first was to go to Kusae. But in coming out in the last boat the plug was knocked out, and when miles from land the boat sank to the gunwales. By dint of swimming and floating the whole party reached the shore in safety. Most of the freight, which had been thrown out, was recovered the next day. Just before sailing, the Greyhound, from California, arrived at Ponape, bringing news of the arrival of the Julia at Honolulu the day after the Morning Star left. This was all the news heard from Honolulu during the voyage. THE GRAIN OF CORN AND PENNY. 11 THE SUTRO TUNNEL, THE Now completed, discharges 3,000,000 gallons of water daily from the Comstock mines. This water has a temperature of 195 degrees, and is conveyed through a closed pipe-flume to prevent the escape of vapor. After a passage of four miles through the first tunnel it loses suddenly 7odegreesof heat. A second tunnel, 1,100 feet long and an open water-way a mile and a-half long conduct the water to Carson River. Along its course are hot-water baths antl laundries, and a plan is on foot to conduct the hot-water through pipes under ground to be made available for purposes of irrigation and for supplying artificial heat to hot-houses.

A new way of dressing wounds, which was discovered by accident, has been introduced in the clinic of Professor Esmarch, at Kiel, by Dr. Neuberg. Twoyears ago there appeared at the clinic a laborer who had sustained a compound fracture of the torearm eight or ten days before, with considerable laceration. He had got a comrade to surround the whole forearm at once with a thick paste of peat mold, on which was laid a rough splint of wood. When he came to the clinic he was in good general health, and on clearing off the mold the doctor found the wound to be healing beautifully, without any sign of suppuration. Dr. Neuberg was led by this experiment to investigate the properties of peat mold, and his conclusion is that it is peculiarly valuable for the purpose ol oressing wounds, chiefly because of its great power of absorbing the products of decomposition. As seven! nay, worth its weight in gold, And that increased a million fold! For lo! a penny tract, if well Applied, may save a soul from hell. That soul can scarce be saved alone, It must, it will itsbliss make known: 'Come,' it will cry, 'and you shall see What great things God hath done for me.'

The value of these wells is pecuniarily very considerable, aside from their convenience. They have brought hundreds of otherwise useless lands under cultivation. Wells have been partially successful on Kauai, but not as yet on other islands. The following will be read with interest: The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution says From being the driest and one of the Artesian wells.—The — : unhealthiest towns in South-west Georgia, Albany has become perhaps Hhe best watered town in the State, and while the country round about is as full of sickness as ever, it has had very little, indeed, of the Customary sickliness. All this has been brought about simply by boring two artesian wells. Over 500 feet of boring was done at an expense nf less than $1,500, and a supply of absolutely pure and ice-cold water fully sufficient to more than supply the wants of the city of 3,500 people is the result Albany's example is being followed by several towns, and with the facts before them there is no reason why scores of South Georgia towns, which are now regarded as unhealthy on account of their water, should not become as healthy as the average. France is talking very big about Madagascar, as well as about Central Africa. M. Gambetta's organ assures us that we shall have to accept the treaty by which M. dc Brazza seized a large slice of territory upon the Upper Congo, and M. Grevy has refused to see the Hova delegates from Madagascar. France has from time immemorial asserted pretensions to that island she has never been able to justify. As late as 1868 she ceded her treaty rights, and acknowledged the sovereignty of the Queen of Madagascar. Now, with a strange high-handedness, she is disposed to repudiate this surrender, and wishes to revive her influence. Unfortunately the French are most unpopular in the island. They have been the curse of the country, introducing a loose morality and attempting all manner of oppression. Instead of being the most favored, France is the most detested nation in Madagascar. The English, on the other hand, have made no less substantial progress in the affections of the people. English is far more in the ascendant than French influence, and in this must be sought the real explanation of French pretensions in Madagascar.

Dr. Taylor, a native of the Old World, has become a genuine American, and sees so much good in American institutions that he expresses a most decided opinion, in opposition to the too prevalent idea, among Americans that it is best to educate their children in foreign lands, meaning Europe. "But," he adds, "when one has arrived at mature age, and grown into patriotic appreciation of his native land, he will be all the better fitted for the discharge of the active duties of life by making a brief and observant tour through the countries of the Old World."

Not only have the Trustees opened a " Preparatory" in the city, but on the college premises, have contracted to erect a brick building ioofeet long and two-story high, with deep verandahs, at a cost of over $20,000, —all to be finished on or before the opening of the next school year in September.

It seems to the writer as if the legitimate object of the Association was implied in its name, Young Men's Christian Association. The clear indications are that its work lies among the young men who are now here or may hereafrer come to Honolulu. The fact that two organizations already exist among the young Hawaiians of this community, viz: the Ahahui Opio o Kawaiahao and the Ahahui Opio o Kaumakapili would seem to indicate that the work of this association was not to be directed specially to the non-English speaking Hawaiian youth ofthe community. Again, the fact that an increasing band of before the present age the northern hemisphere witnessed a time of great cold, and more than a third of the North American continent was covered by an immense sheet of ice. The theory of a polar ice-cap is inadmissable since the places where the most ice has been accumulated correspond with those regions receiving the greatest precipitation of moisture. At present the south frigid zone approaches nearer the equator than the northern. Hence some authors think it is passing through its glacial period, and that every twenty thousand years the polar regions are alternately subjected to those frigid influences. Descriptions of existing glaciers in Switzerland and Greenland were given, illustrated by numerous diagrams. Glaciers were rivers of ice—"motionless torrents with silent cataracts." The movement may be three or four feet a day in Switzerland and sixty feet per day in Green- SELF-EXAMINATION. Did I this morn devoutly pray For God's assistance through the day? And did I read His sacred word, To make my life therewith accord ? Did I for any purpose try To hide the truth and tell a lie? Did I my time and thoughts engage As fits my duty, station, age ? Did I with care my temper guide. Checking ill-humor, anger, pride?* Did I my lips from aught refrain That might my fellow creature pain f Did I with cheerful patience bear The little ills that all must share ? For all God's mercies through this day, Did I my grateful tribute pay? And did I, when the day was o'er, God's watchful aid again implore?
