The death of this distinguished Hawaiian chiefess, severs almost the very last link binding the present with the past chiefs and Royalty of the Hawaiian Islands. Her grandfather was King of Hawaii when Cook discovered the islands. Her mother Pauahi, was the first wife of Governor Kekuanaoa, so distinguished in Hawaiian history. His second wife Kinau, was the mother of two kings, Kamehameha IVth and Vth. She was the cousin of the Hon. Mrs. C. R. Bishop and sister-in-law of Queen Emma. The deceased having survived these kings and the other children of Kekuanaoa, became the rich heiress of the royal family. She was born February 9, 1818, being at the date of her death, May 24th, in her 66th year. It seems fitting that she should have died at Kailua, Hawaii, that old home and capitol of Hawaiian Royalty, where Kamehameha 1 died in May, 1820. Her life extended from the days of heathenism to the present time, having been born a few months before the abolition of idolatory. Her funeral will take place on the 15th of this month, and due notice will appear in the daily and weekly papers.

And distinctly traceable than that of New us bestir ourselves, and Guinea. No mission in which man brethren, let hasten to the help of the Lord in this has occupied a more subordinate place. When Mr. McFarlane and I set out on great enterprise. The circumstances are augent; the object is grand and it is the first voyage eleven years ago, almost literally true that we went out not knowing whither we went. We were bound for New Guinea indeed, but at that time New Guinea was little more than a name to us. Very little was known either of it or its people. We had an introduction to one small island in Torres Straits, Darnley Island, and to that we went, and succeeded in placing a teacher upon it. At Darnley Island we were directed to another island, Warrior Island by name, where information was likely to be obtained, so we made our way to that island, and there we were told of a small island named Cornwallis, which might prove a step towards gaining a footing on the main land. But here a difficulty arose which would have been insuperable had not a friend whom we found on the spot kindly assisted us. The master of the vessel which we had chartered for the voyage refused to go beyond Warrior Island on the ground that all beyond that was unsurveyed, and that if the vessel should be lost, the insurance would be forfeited. Under these circumstances a boat was let us, and a crew furnished by Captain Bunner, the manager of a shelling station belonging to a gentleman of this city, Mr. Merrimard; and in the boat with a crew of natives from the Eastern Islands, without any whiteman, we started for the island to which we were directed, and by God's help, succeeded in accomplishing our object, and so God led and guided us step by step; and so he has continued to do till now we seem to see a long way ahead. us therefore give God the praise, for surely to him it emphatically belongs. And then, if God has thus gone out before us, surely we should not be slow to follow. He has given us what we desired and asked He has otiened glorious. O that the congregational churches of Australia would rise to the grandeur of the occasion and take hold of the great work with something like an adequate grasp! How blessed would be the result to themselves! They would find to an extent that would surprise them, that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and that in imparting blessings to others, they were themselves bountifully blessed. And may I address a special word to the congregational churches of Sydney and New South Wales. O brethren, whatever others do let us not hang back, and fail to extend to the perishing heathen the succour they need, and which it is in our power to give. It is meet and right that we should be in the van. We are the eldest born and may justly claim this as our birth right. Let me therefore beg you dear friends to take up this matter with promptitude and vigor. We have seen that God has gone out before us, and it cannot be otherwise than right and safe to follow him. You know what is needed. Money is needed; men are needed; prayer is needed; energetic action is needed. And O let that action be prompt! While we linger life is wearing away; the time for action will soon be over. The night cometh when man's work is done. Think of the results. The glorious results in time and eternity of service rendered to Christ in carrying out his purposes of mercy and love to our fallen race. There can be no failure here; all well directed, honestly intended labor for Christ must succeed. Other objects of pursuit may yield but small returns, or they may yield no returns at all; but in this cause failure is impossible. "In due time we shall reap if we shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever." A Chinese Entertainment.—The Chinese class of the Spring-street Presbyterian church, in this city, recently gave an entertainment to their teachers and friends who crowded the basement of the church. Nearly two hundred Chinamen were present, most of them dressed in native costume. Chinese paper shades were over all the gas-jets, and the walls were gay with Chinese banners and pictures. On a raised platform stood four elegantly embroidered Chinese screens, in frames of ebony and mother-of-pearl. Several hymns were sung by the Chinamen, and a duet by Hop Lee and Long Quong was enthusiastically received.— N. Y. Paper. THE MISSIONARY IN ADVANCE OF THE MERCHANT. Reports come in the papers from Australia, that New Guinea has been annexed to Queensland, and hence become a part of British Territory. We have no doubt that this will prove most satisfactory in the end, but it is only another illustration of the old story, that the helpless and unarmed missionary goes in advance of the merchant and the soldier. The missionarymakes it safe for them to follow. If England had not thus taken possession of New Guinea, undoubtedly Germany or Italy or France, would have done so in a very short time. Vessels of those nations have for years been hovering around the shores of that great and populous island, but not seemingly willing to risk the danger and expense of life, of making a permanent landing on its shores. It is earnestly to be hoped, England will now succeed in effectually putting a stop to kidnapping of the natives on this and all other islands in the Western Pacific. If England can succeed in putting a stop to the traffic in fire arms, gun powder and rum, a bright future awaits New Guinea, but if not, then the poor aborigines must waste away like the natives of other islands and lands have done. Surveyor-General Alexander will go to Lahaina next Tuesday, in company with Mr. Preston and Ensign Brown, of the scientists on board the Hartford, to make pendulum observations there. They will, if possible, find the exact spot on which the French Captain Freycinet made like observations in 1819. �51 1883.

He was born in Reading, February 6, 1795, in the sth generation, after his forefather, John Damon, who emigrated from Reading, FnglancL in 1633, where he was born in 1720. Many persons of this mame arc still residing in Reading, Massachusetts, The Reading Chronicle of March 17, 1883, contains the following obituary notice of John Damon: "He was the child of pious parents, who dedicated him in his infancy to the service of dod. He united with the Old South Church nearly seventy yearsago. For a life to stretch from century to century is an event rarely seen, and more so if through these years one enjoys all the faculties of his heart and brain, keen and vigorous to the last. This was the case with Mr, Damon. His memory was a perfect encyclopaedia of knowledge that carried in retentive grasp datesand minutia as readily as the more marked events of the years that have come and gone in long procession. He was a man of great kindness of heart, and children alwas found in him a sympathizing friend. Three children survive him, two daughters and one son." Tomb stones in Reading and other places whither the family have migrated, show that many descendants of the original John Damon, have attained to any advanced age. One lies buried in Amherst, N. H., aged 93; another in Nashua, N. IL, aged 90; another in Westminister, Mass., aged 97; and many others over four score.

A.'s, and now have the means of offering them to the use of the public. Many of them contain much interesting reading matter, and will serve to give us a better idea of the Y. M. C. A. work in other places, also suggestions that will be of individual assistance in our own part of the work. They can be found in the reading room. Read them by all means. The next subject for debate—"Will these islands have direct telegraphic connection with the United States, within the next ten years?" was proposed, and accepted, the date of which will be announced by the committee hereafter. Every one is cordially invited to these debates whenever announced, and are free to take part, subject only to the few simple rules necessary to order. About twelve young men have availed themselves of the privilege of learning book-keeping at Mr. Jones' Monday evening class. This is a privilege that we wonder still more young men do not accept, for certainly no more efficient teacher could possibly be provided in any community. Mr. Jones offers to meet any who wish to come regularly on Monday evenings, and proposes to give them a course, that will enable them at its close, to take charge of a set of books ; and this is a privilege not often offered to this community, and that too free of charge. The Rev. Mr. Lawks, New Guinea Missionary.—ln a late issue of the Advertiser has a letter from this gentleman, copied from a Sydney paper. It was our privilege to hear the Rev.

It is under the special superintendence of Mr. Armdel, so well-known in our community. A Sunday school entertainment of the foreign church, Hilo, was given Sunday eve, May 20th. 11 was arranged by Mr. S. L. Coan and Miss Alme Hitchcock. The subject was the "Prodigal Son," in which the school did itself great credit, as well as the promoters of the entertainment. The building was unusually full.

General Isaiah The regular monthly meeting was held on the 17th of May, and the large attendance of members was considering the attractive entertainment held at the Music Hall on the same evening. Tne reports were listened to, new members were accepted, and considerable business transacted. The question of continuing our assistance to the Chinese work was the most im]>ortant business. It seemed to the general opinion, that with our greatly increased expenses, that this part of the work must necessarily be discontinued. We were glad to hear Mr. P. C. Jones pro]x>se to consider this question farther, and not to be hasty in withdrawing our sup|>ort, until it is made very plain that it should Ix; done for want of means. The question was therefore deferred till another meeting. Let us hope and pray that the way and means may be provided, not only to continue this part of our work, but also to meet any newdemands from the Lord, which when we are sure they are from Him, let us not begin to compare the means, to the work, or our pockets, but exercise our best judgment and faith, to the end that He will send us no work to do for Him for which He will not also freely provide the means to accomplish. With the forward step we have recently taken, shall we at the very first approach of a little heavier burden than we can apparently bear, become faint and expect to enlarge our usefulness, if one of the first transactions in our new building is that of forsaking, rather than assuming work, that is manifestly laid before us ?

Some of our committees have organized, and got earnestly at work, as you may judge for yourselves if you go to the prison, hospital, and shipping. At the Saturday and early Sabbath evening's meeting, you will find a member of their committe in the street extending invitations to passers-by to a seat inside, and many are being brought in by this means. A committee room has been provided for your use, and all your meet- ings should be held there if possible. Remember that the General Secretary is one of your committee, and wishes to be present to take minutes of all the proceedings, in order to leave on record a full report of all the committees, and what they do from the time of entering our new building. By reference to our committee books, we expect to be able, ten years hence, to tell you just how many meetings you held during the year, the character of the meetings,- who were present and absent, &c.

Williams & Co. for their generous donation of a large number of stereoscopic views of island scenery fee They have some very fine views sf our new Y. M. C. A. building. Every member should have one. The old building committee have been instructed to complete the unfinished portion of our building. The basement is to be floored over and rented for storage, and an entrance to it made from Hotel street. The room over the basement will then be partitioned off into two. making at the rear end a dressingroom, where our visitors can have every convenience for washing, bathing, boot-blacking, &c. The front portion will be a large room, convenient for many gymnastic appliances, if thought advisable which may be easily arranged when the room is desired for meetings or classes. Mr. E. W. Peterson is kindly preparing for our use, in a large book made for the purpose, the names and address of every young man they have on the Post-office books, and all that he can ascertain by every other means in his iiower. We hope by this means, to be able to communicate with every young man on the Hawaiian Islands, and extend to them an invitation to visit our rooms whenever they come to this city. By watching all future arrivals, we bid fair to be prepared to assist any of them we can, and to meet in the future, the many letters of inquiry sent to ascertain news of missing young men. This book will be of constant and valuable use to the association, both now and in the future. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
