The great increase of the population of California, which has nearly doubled in twelve years, has caused the erection of numerous sawmills, which are fast destroying the forests of the mountains. But a new growth of youngevergreens is beginning, which, is to be hoped, will be protected from the fires recklessly made by Indians and travelers. But it will take ages for thetn to grow as great as the gigantic trees that here now amaze and delight us. In spite of the snow THE MINES Still resound with thestrokes of the pick and drill and with explosions of powder. They are worked through the winter as well as through the summer. These mountains, which are granite at their summits, below this slate, next serpentine, and next sandstone with rifts oflava through this strata, contain in their conglomerated dei>osits immense treasures of gold. Here in some places these treasures are sought by "drifting,' which consists in tunneling into the hills and conveying out the gravels to be washed. In other places the bills are washed down by hydraulic power. I visited the Cherokee mine, the largest hydraulic mine in the world. Its excavation was like a huge crater, three quarters of a mile broad by a mile and a half long and three hundred feet deep. Eight hundred feet of pressure of water is used in this mine. It has yielded gold to the value of $ 100,000 per month. But its slickens " have so overspread immense tracts l>elow. that the owners have had to spend nearly a million dollars in buying out the protesting farmers. I saw the flumes ofanother hydraulic mine, which, after an expenditure of $150,000, was stopped by injunctions made by the farmers. In another place a tunnel was being dug to turn off the Feather river so as to explore 16 miles of its bed. Surface mining has nearly ceased. Its effects are everywhere to be seen in heaps of gravel and stone over wide areas of ruined land. It is sad to think how many disappointed hopes, how much suffering and loss and death have attended these enterprises.' More treasure has been wasted than has been obtained in the mining operations of California A better industry is that of " 1883 But a change has come as by enchantment. Now there are miles upon miles of waving grain, like the valley of the Nile, vineyards like those of France, olive and fig and orange and lemon groves like those of Italy, and with these orchards of all the fruitbearing trees of the temperate zone. Far up in the foothills I saw homes embowered in roses and honeysuckles and surrounded by orchards and farms crowding against the pine forests. One such home, situated at Oroville, I must particularly mention. It was the residence of Mr. C. H. Wilcox, who came hither irom our Islands in 1857, and has ever since remained here, prosperous and resected. Thirteen years ago, while the agent of the railroad depot, he received an orange with freight consigned to his care. He divided his present with a friend. After each had eaten of the fruit and remarked its excellence, Mr. W., in a jesting way, said, "Suppose we plant the seeds and see whether they will grow." He picked up an empty oyster can, filled it with some of the red soil of the street, planted the seeds in it, and kept it well watered in his office. In the spring tiny orangesprouts appeared, which in due timewere set out and cared for. The result is that he now has an orchard that yields the finest oranges in the state. I .ast year his crop was 5,000 oranges. We found ture. THE SALVATION ARMY Holding meetings in a large tent at Oroville. I was a few minutes in one of their meetings. I saw nothing grotesque or objectionable. A choir of ladies with sweet voices sang gospel hymns. Two men by turns made exhortation, often relating words somewhat as follows, help you men ! Give up to God. "ItCod is time for you to give up your drinking and thieving and other sins." Their labors were so successful that they were prolonging their stay. Two clergymen ot the place were heartily assisting. Whatever good they can do here is greatly needed, where the peculiarity of mining times, profanity, gambling and |>articularly intemperance still greatly prevail. It is cheering to see how the American |>eople are awaking against these vices. The temperance reform will be the great movement of the future. Everywhere in California bands of hope are forming, pledging the children against profanity FARMING. and the use of tobbacco and intoxicating Once it was thought that this was the drink. There is indeed hope in these worst country in the world for agricul- bands of the rising generation for the future. A fine move, much urged, is the raising of the cost of licenses, so as to freeze out a great number of low groggeries. The consummation to be most sought is total prohibition. This, with gospel temperance meetings everywhere, like those of Honolulu, will in time displace thelow saloons and gambling hells by temperance coffee bouses, reading rooms, and halls for the most refining and religious influences. God speed the day to California and also to the Hawaiian Islands. Jas. M. Alexander. 1883. Oakland, May, Souvenir.— Col. Norris, who oscillates between Honolulu and San Francisco with the regularity of a pendulum, measuring off the moments on a clock, met us recently with his usual aloha, and presented a "John Howard Payne souvenir" from the press of Prang & Co., of Boston. It is a fac-simile ol his famous song "Home, Sweet Home," in his own handwriting. It appears to he the copy made by Mr. Payne, in 1849, a short time before he left the United States for his Consulate, in Tunis. This fact is certified to by various members ofCongress, and who vouch for the correctness of the publication. It also contains a facsimile, from life, of a pencil jiortrait, by Miss Freeman, a celebrated |x>rtrait painter of New York. We highly prize these mementoes of the celebrated song and its gifted author. We are thereby reminded of an event in our college life at Amherst in 1833, or '34, when Mr. Payne visited the institution and was enthusiastic in his effort to establish an International Magazine, to be sup|x>rted by contributions on both sides of the Atlantic. We are glad the American |>eople are now doing so much to honor the memory of one whose fame will last as long as the marble statue to his memory shall endure. Thanks to Col.

Bird (Mrs. Bishop), with maps and illustrations. John Murray, I,ondon, 1883. ' Down to the (Joldcn Chersonese.' -Milton. The author of this charming volume of travels in the Malay Peninsula has fully established her character as a good traveler and descriptive writer, by her previous books. Having read jiortions of this volume as they appeared in the London Leisure Hour, we were prepared to appreciate these letters "as a whole," addressed to that sister, to whom all her former letters were written, and about whom we find this touching paragraph in the preface ; " My present volume has been prepared for publication under the heavyshadow of the loss of the beloved and only sister, to whom the letters of which it consists were written, and whose able and careful criticism, as well as loving interest, accompanied my former volumes through the press." It is a singular and noteworthy fact that decidedly the most remarkable female tourist and best English writer of the passing age, should be a frail lady who thus alludes to her infirmity in ' Letter I,' while being terribly inrommoded, in the China seas " During those cold, dark, noisydays, when even the stewards could scarcely keep their feet, I suffered so : much in my spine, from the violent movements of the ship, that I did not leave my cabin ; and, besides being unable to read, write or work, owing to the darkness, I was obliged to hold on by day and night, to avoid being much hurt by the rolling, my berth being athwart ship." Old voyagers knowhow to appreciate such "knocking about " at sea, but Miss Bird is bound to see the world, and esjiecially travel those unbeaten paths," which or- " dinary tourists avoid, hence her books are so popular. For many reasons, the Malay Peninsula, or "The (tolden Chersonese," merits a study. Just now, the Chinese are crowding its towns and developing its resources, under British rule. Not only Singapore, but other towns and cities are assuming importance under Chinese enterprise. If anyone desires to learn what industry and thrift will accomplish, let him read this volume. There is one feature of this volume, 1883. as well as the other volumes, by Miss Bird, which has s|>ccially attracted our attention. It is this the admirable facility with which the writer employs her pen to describe the botanical and geological characteristics of the Malay Peninsula. This same feature is also apparent in Miss Cumming's books on the islands of Polynesia. These English ladies do possess a scientific knowledge, which they employ to a most useful put|»ose. These books in this respect, remind us of Fllis' Polynesian Researches, and of his Madagascar volumes. Knowledge thus employed, in our estimation, constitutes a very high order of talent, and writers able thus to employ their scientific attainments are to be envied. Our limits will not allow us to copy interesting paragraphs, but the Press has favored our island readers with many choice paragraphs. We would acknowledge our indebtedness for this advanced copy of " The Golden Chersonese," from the London Press, to Mrs. Robinson of Kauai, who is now traveling in Europe. Perseverance Rewarded..-We arrived at Honolulu early on Sunday morning, and Governor Dominis brought me to this pleasant house, which is alike the home of his mother and of Princess Liliuokalani, his wife. The latter occupies her own suite of apartments. Mr. Dominis has commended me to the etpecial care of his mother, a dear old lady, stiff with rheumatism, and her hands shaking with pain, but bright and clever, and full of keen interest in life. As we sat in her veranda, looking at the lovely masses of blossom and the pleasant turf lying in cool shadow beneath large beautiful trees, she told me she remembered when there were only seven trees in the whole valley, and bow she herself began to make the very first garden at Honolulu, by preparing a tiny plot before the window of her own barewooden house, and there attempting to strike some geranium cuttings—an attempt much discouraged by her husband, who assured her that it was ho|>eless to think of making anything growon such soil. The young wife was not easily daunted, however. She i>ersevered till her garden was a source of amazement to her few neighbors, who, of course, followed her good example. Now she lives to see that region of fine cinders converted into a flourishing town, where hundreds of happy homes are embowered in beautiful flowers, and shaded by tall trees of many different species, all growing so naturally that strangers, on arriving here, suppose them to be the spontaneous vegetation of these lavish tropics. Fire Fountains. By C. F. Gordon Gumming, in Blackwood. — WHY DO NOT THE CHINESE BUILD THEIR OWN CHURCHES? This question is frequently asked, and to answer it we have been requested to print the following paragraph, from our last Sabbath morning's discourse: "In reply, I can only say, here we have 15,000 or 16,000 strangers on our islands, born in a heathen land. Now, is it reasonable to expect such paraom will contribute to build Christian churches ? It is not to expected that men will pay for preaching to convert themselves from the superstition and idolatry of China, to the principles of the Christian religion. Here is just the point wherein we are to show our love for the stranger in our midst. Agreeable to the teachings of Moses, as carried out by Joshua, we are to gather these strangers in places where they may listen lo the teachings of Jesus Christ." We would add, that the Chinese merchants, shop-keepers and laborers, did contribute very generously for the Honolulu Chinese church, and so they are doing for the Kohala church. Most of the professing Christians among the Chinese do not belong to the class accounted rich and proaperous. Under all the circumstances, we confidentially assert that the Chinese have contributed liberally. They arc now laying their plans to sup|>ort their pastor at Kohala, as they are doing in Honolulu. Home Society.-We read with pleasure the re]K>rts of the various gatherings of our fellow residents, for the purpoae of organizing a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals and unkindness to human beings. May success attend their efforts. We would call special attention to the fact that many of our citizens, driving fine horses are using a "curb," which is strongly condemned by Mr. Berg and the friends of animals in the United States. We ho]>e the society will circulate "Our Dumb Animals," a monthly periodical published in Boston, and which are have had for a long time among our exchanges. It is an excellent publication. An English writer remarks, it we are expecting to save our nation from drunkenness, we must begin with the little children. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1883 South Seam, per Kaluna, July 3t—H Sima, MARJ INE OURNAL. andFor2 children, returned laborers, including wife women 77 and children, Dr Brodie.

At the last meeting of the association, it was decided to go on and complete the unfinished portion of the hall, after the necessary funds had been raised. It will require in round numbers a thousand dollars. The unfinished room on the ground floor will l>e floored over and furnished for the use of Mr. I'. ('. Jones' hook-keeping class and other kindred purposes. At present, his classes have to meet in the reading room, inconveniencing readers. Now that the association has fairly taken up its quarters in the building, it is found that a gymnasium so near the reading room would be wholly impracticable, and without another room for general purposes, the association would be cram|x.'d. With the $1,000, baths and a toilet room will also be put in to the rear of the new room, and if in due time, the association feels the need of a gymnasium and bowling alley, the yard on the Kwa side of the building will make a good site for a light airy wooden building for that purpose. The room in the main building is too small and close for a gymnasium. The moving, however, that the committee l>e authorized to go ahead and secure funds antl complete the building, and the actual securing those funds are two very different things, and the committee, P. ('. Jones, R. I.ishman, and J. 15. Atherton, now lack $700 of the necessary amount. 72 ■ It is a revelation. Hundreds of men who have labored for years and become thoroughly imbued with the work have to compress ihe accumulated thoughts of years and the strong emotions of the hour into one and two minute speeches. Prominent among delegate! were those from Great Britain, bearing a letter from the Bail of Shaftsburry, the venerable president of the London Association, who were introduced to the convention amid loud applause. This is an age of combinations of all kinds, and the Y. M. C. A. movement is a combination vast and growing. It has its association secretaries, state secretaries and international secretaries its college, commercial travelers, railway, German speaking secretaries, etc. The railroad branch of the work was only started a few years ago. yet it now employs sixty-one secretaries, and expends $75,000 a year, two-thirds of which amount is contributed by the railroad companies themselves. ('. 1,. Colby, a strong association man. is president of the Wisconsin Central Railroad and many other leading railroad men are active association members. 'There were 103 college delegates present at the convention and in fact the work has grown to that extent that they now have conventions of set re taries to discuss methods of work, etc. The one held at Racine, Wisconsin, this year numbered 240 as against 173 Of a truth, the present last year. world is moving on.

Mr. Cassidy, on the prison committee, reported that, as he did not feel competent to conduct the meetings alone, he only visited the prison on Sundays, that Mr. Lees, his colleague, felt strong enough to attend. Mr. B, C. Damon, one of the committee to visit the sick, reported visiting the hospital, as usual. Among the sic k were some Japanese sailors, but unfortunately, there was no interpreter at hand. Mr. P. C. Jones, reporting for the employment committee, said that he had called a meeting of that committee, but was the only one present. After some pertinent remarks, he set the time for another meeting. In another column will be found mention of the building committee's work. The epiestion was then raised whether the association should continue the support of a Chinese colporteur. Opinions were expressed both ways, and the matter was postponed to next meeting, Judge Judd expressing the desire that the association should commence pioneer work among the Portuguese, as they have done among the ('hinese. The collection amounted to $13 50. Mr. R. I.ishman was appointed a member of the building committee, in place of C. M. Cooke, excused.
