Christ's Care for Dumb Anieals.—Note, also, what no one notes, that Christ was born among the cattle, and the camels, and the horses, and the sheep, because he was to be for them also a redemptive influence. It means mercy for overladen, and overdriven, and underfed, and poorly sheltered, and galled, and maltreated animal creation. Hath he, who compared himself to the dove, no cares for the cruelties of pigeon shooting? Hath he, who compared himself to the lamb, no care for the sheep, dying contorted and with heads flung over the edges of the butcher's cart ? Or for the freight train ofcattle in hot summer, without water or food from Omaha to New York? Hath the Christ who strung the nerves of dog and cat, no indignatian for the horrors of vivisection ?

There is no subject in which we take more delight than in watching the growth of schools and colleges, and observing their wide-spread influence over the world. S. N. Castle, Esq., has furnished us an interesting article upon the growth and influence of Oberlin College, in Ohio, copied from the San Francisco Bulletin of July 25th. If our limits would allow we should copy it without abbreviation. It recalls a pleasant visit we made to Oberlin in the Spring of 1876, when hurrying forward to be present at the opening of the Centennial, in Philadelphia. Having been familiar with the peculiar origin of Oberlin College, and the heroic career of President Finney, and having also a personal acquaintance with Doctor Fairchild, now its honored president, it is with unfeigned satisfaction that we read whatever is published respecting Oberlin which has contributed so essentially to mould the characters and shape the destiny of some 20,000 young men and young women, who have been there educated during the past half century, among them some of our own island young students. Probably no college in America, during the war of the rebellion, exerted an influence more eminently patriotic and loyal than Oberlin, we will not except Vale or Harvard. In reviewing what Oberlin has accomplished, we do not forget that the rich men of Ohio and America have allowed that noble institution to Struggle along with a limited endowment, and it has not been until recently that funds have begun to flow into the treasury of the college. We hope hereafter the institution will be more liberally supported. A Notable Chinese Bridge.— Among the notable bridges in the world is the one at Langang, China. It crosses an arm of the China sea. This structure is some five miles long, and has not less than 300 arches. Over the pillar of each arch reclines a lion made out of a single block of marble, and yet 21 feet long. The roadway of this bridge is 75 feet wide. Island Views.—We would call special attention to the fine and choice* exhibit of island views at William's photographic establishment. We have looked on an album recently filled from their collection, and can pronounce it quite equal to views taken in other lands. See his advertisement U. S. S. WACHUSETT. MATERNAL INFLUENCE. We have been permitted to peruse an interesting letter written by Mr. James Butterworth on board this vessel, giving an interesting narrative of the cruise of the vessel since she left Honolulu. They had visited the Samoan, Society and Marquesan Islands, where the officers were kindly welcomed by missionaries and others. He refers to meeting at the Marquesan Islands with a son of our Hawaiian While missionary, Rev. Mr. Kakela. at this group the officers visited the Typee Valley, made famous by Herman Melville and found the scenery as beautiful as portrayed in the pages of that fascinating volume. At both the Marquesan and Society Islands, Mr. Butterworth speaks of having met the French Protestant missionaries and of their kind welcome. Bound volumes of the Friend were found to contain much valuable inforformation in reference to the South Seas. The VVachusett was bound from Tahiti to Callao, and would probably remain on the South American coast for some time. Letters will reach the vessel if sent to care of Navy Paymaster, San Francisco. We copy the following paragraph from the sermon preached by the chaplain, at the Bethel, Sabbath morning, September 23rd, the text, Mark, iv : 28. " First the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." language fails to express my ideas of the im|K>rtance of parental instruction. The child must necessarily have many teachers, before he is fitted for life's duties, but in the order of Providence, the parent is the first teacher. The mother stands first upon the list. If we may, in accordance with the spirit and meaning of the parable under consideration, compare the mind to the soil of the garden, the mother is appointed by God to cast in the first seed. "So is the Kingdom of Heaven, as if a man cast seed into the ground." The following touching tribute of an American Senator will illustrate my idea remarked the late Hon. T. H.

During the late year he was an acting-master and engaged in important duties on the blockading squadron. During the last few years he has been a custom house officer.

The most destructive earthquake of which any record has been preserved is that which devastated Antioch, A. D. 526, killing people. That most unfortunate of Syrian cities has been earthquake-visited many times before. In 115 A.D., it was nearly destroyed, the Emperor Trajan narrowly escaping with his life. One of the earliest recorded earthquakes is mentioned in the Bible as happening in Syria during the reign of Ahab, 900 B.C. In the year 250,000 31 8.C., the Judean earthquake which happened contemporanosusly with the battle of Actium was said by Josephus to have killed 10,000 persons, and to be greater than any then recorded. 1883. AUSTRALIAN SUBSIDY. It is now pretty well ascertained that the government of New South Wales does not intend to co-operate in a contract for conveyance of mails between Australia and California, after the year 1883. This determination in a measure places the entire responsibility of maintaining the service upon the colony of New Zealand, subject, however, to such aid as may be afforded by the United States when congress meets in the ensuing December. We are gratified to learn that the colony of New Zealand is outspoken in this matter, and declares an intention to renew the contract upon its own responsibility. Such being the case, it is the duty of the executive of that country, which no doubt they will carefully regard, to see that all colonies benefitting by the California mail and passenger traffic shall receive benefits therefrom in proportion to the material support which may be extended toward its maintenance. This is not only just and fair, but reasonable, and if New South Wales, from any mistaken idea of economy refuses to co-operate, the New Zealand Government is certainly not bound in any way whatever to make Sydney the terminus of its route, especially when by steaming from New Zealand to Melbourne there is every probability of increasing to a very great extent the passenger traffic of the line, This deviation from the present route would no doubt influence the contractors considerably in tendering for the service, and is well worthy of serious considerntion, especially as the New Zealand Government desire economy combined with efficiency, and every allowance made by the contractors will directly benefit that colony solely. Melbourne is unquestionably the grand centre from which all travellers from adjacent colonies take ther departure, and should the course we now suggest be abolished, the contractors will very soon discover that the change from Sydney to Melboure as a terminus is productive of solid pecuniaay gain. We hope, however, that the importance of the trade with Sydney will justify the maintenance by the contractors of a branch line from Sydney to Auckland. San Francisco Merchant.

This was held, Thursday evening, at the Hall ; president Judd in the chair. Prayer was offered by Dr. Damon. After the reading of the minutes, reports were made. The most important subject under discussion, related to the best manner of utilising the hours of Sabbath afternoon. After a free expression of opinion by several members, it was unanimously decided that on the first Sabbath of this month at -3 p.m. should commence a series of public services at the Y. M. C. A. hall, to be conducted by the Rev. Mr. Cruzan. These would be conducted with special reference to the young men of this city. Another important subject was discussed, the necessity for renewed efforts to promote the cause of temperance. On this question, P. C. Jones, Esq., led off in some spirited remarks, and as a result it was decided to hold this week, on Thursday evening, a grand temperance gathering at the Y. M. C. A. hall, Messrs. Cruzan, Jones, and Jackson were appointed to conduct the meeting and secure speakers. Mr. Hall, on the entertainment committee, reported that an ice-cream festival would soon be held. Mr. F. W. Damon, on the Chinese committee, reported that since April no call had been made upon the treasurer for the usual monthly appropriation, as no suitable colporteur could be secured for the Island of Kauai, but he hoped on his return from China that the subject would be taken up with renewed energy. A collection of $23.15 was taken up, and meeting adjourned after prayer had been offered by the president. New Zealand. They are mostly labouring in the mines. The Presbyterians have employed a missionary to His most inlabor among them. teresting reports appear in the Monthly Presbyterian, published in Dunedin. The name of scholarly misssionary He was sent to is Alexander Don. Canton, to learn the language before commencing his work. Respecting the language of China, and its study, he thus writes to F. W. Damon : "How small one feels in contact with this grand old language, which has grappled with such as Morrison, Williams, Legge, and Chalmers ! The advice of one beginner to another is study regularly: You will have strange experiences in the way of your thinking about your progressing, but if you study regularly you will progress really. By no means hold the language cheap; rather look upon overcoming main difficuties as a thing to be reached 30 or 40 years hence. A knowledge of the colloquial sufficient to enable one to preach the simple story of the Cross will not take long, but if you want to become a Chinaman as much as you can, then read their classics, and converse with them on other subjects besides religion. Wrestle away then ; and " may your shadow never grow less." Your words are apt: it is a mighty tongue; but consider what a mighty i>eople it represents ; and what a mighty influence the' race must have on the world's future." Rev. Dr. Mark Hopkins tells us of a mother who sent four sons into the world to do for themselves, taking from each of them, as they went, a pledge not to use intoxicating drinks, profane language, or tobacco before he was 21 years of age.

The society has been running a retail store in Nuuanu street, but that has been sold out and $2,500 of their funds invested in a valuable piece of land in Kalihi Valley. The society made its first investment of $400 in the purchase of a fine square in the new cemetery, costing $500 which has recently been fenced at a cost of $200. The society has aided this year the pastor of the Honolulu Chinese church by the appropriation of $100, and the Kohala pastor by $25. Indigent members in sickness and misfortune are aided. This association is a good illustration of Chinese economy, order, and thrift, worthy of imitation on the part of their Anglo-Saxon brothers. CHRISTIAN WORK AMONG THE CHINESE AT KOHALA. After applying for primary books, Miss Turner, teaching in the Government school, thus writes "We have now a class of nineteen Chinese, and I never enjoyed the work better than now. One thing, we have such a nice cosy church, and we feel that we are perfectly independent. The work to me seems more promising than ever before. I am delighted to see the bright happy faces of the Chinese girls. We are now learning the Gospel hymns in English. As they have them in their own language, and a supply of books they are not long in catching the Then, too, we have the organ, tunes. which is a great help. We often stop after the Sabbath school to practise the songs, and they enjoy it. Our work among the Hawaiians has begun; and we are well and prospering." The Rev. Mr. Bond, thus writes: "All honor to the Woman's Board for their generously coming up to the duty of the hour. It delights me to hear of the prosperity of the Chinese work in Hilo." The Munich Academy of Science has appointed Professor O. C. Marsh, of Vale College, the well-known paleontologist, a member of the academy. : — � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
