They subsist on the alms of the charitable, and in the settlements receive a pittance from government. They are under the superintendence of bead-men, who enforce the rules of the organization or guild. A certain amount must be paid by them before they can be admitted to the leper vilage. The laws of China are rigorous in reference to the separation of those tainted with leprosy, though there are I-or those probably isolated cases. having wealth are able to bribe the authorities, and so can remain in the pri vaey of their own homes. Outside of the East Gate of this city, there is a leper settlement, where there are said to be one thousand inmates, both male and female, and of all ages. I visited it recently and a sadder sight I never witnessed. The village consists of regular rows of brick-houses branching off to right and left of a main mad. The rooms are dilapidated and dirty and the people are huddled together in a wretched way. At the end of the principal street, is a temple with the Tablet of the Emperor, and near by are the shrines of the Goddess of Mercy and other divinities. The head men of the village were very courteous to us —and answered all our questions. There were a great many children and some of them seemed to be perfectly healthy. The Chinese have an idea that the disease disappears in the fourth generation. The boys are gathered into a school. The advent of foreigners created quite an excitement in the settlement and the poor people came crowding in from all parts to see us. One man addressed us in perfect good Eng- -try. • .

He is now on a tour of inspection of the Consulates, accompanied by Admiral Davis, and Mr. Seymour, the U. S. (!onsul of Canton. While detained here, last week. Mr. Seymour gave a most agreeable entertainment, which offered an excellent opportunity for Mr. Young, to meet all the missionaries and their families in Canton. Between forty and fifty surrounded the tables, representing the American Presbyterian Board, the English Wesleyan Society, the London Missionary Society, the American Baptist Union and (he BerlinSociety of Germany, together with ihe representatives from the Hawaiian Islands. It was a choke gathering of noble men and women, engaged in the grand missionary work. Brief addresses were made, by Mr. Young and Mr. Seymour, which were followed by short and apt replies, by American, English and (iernian and Hawaiian Missionaries. It was pleasant to be assured by Mr. Voting, that he slmuld DC ready to render all the aid in his power, to assist those engaged in the noble work of preaching the gospel, Mr. among the millions of China.

The recitations at the I'imuhou Preparatory Si hoed showed what excellent work bad been done there during the past year under Mrs. Ashfonl, and her assistants Misses Hopper, Carter, and Lewis. The recitations of the classes at Oahu College, given in die morning as samples of the ordinary class-roon'i work, were very 1 leditahlc both topupils and teachers. The specimens of draw ings in crayons showed what skill the attained under Prof. si hoi.irs had Furneaux' training. Mrs. Merrill's method of institution in English composition proved its merits by the excel knee and rapidity of the iinpromtu work done by her class. The prise speaking in connection with the historical exercises on Monday afternoon, drew out some most admirable elocutionary efforts from the nine contestants, There was such variety of style as well as sin h uniform excellence thai it was a difficult matter to award the prizes satisfactorily. Miss HestSe Dickson received the first: Miss May Atherton the second ; Miss May Dillingham the third; and Horace ('hamberlain the fourth. At the invitation of the Trustees of Oahu College. Rev. E. 0. Beckwith. 11. I)., president of the institution from 1854 to 1859, delivered an address on "Culture and Life" in Fort Street (lunch on Monday evening, June ,50th. Dr. Beckwith was hopeful of a glorious future for the Islands, and for the college. In words stirringofeloquence, and with sentiments of fervent loyalty to Jesus Christ, as the peerless eiubodi inent of a divine humanity, he urged the duty of furnishing for the children of this community the highest culture. So only could life be in its capacity and quality what be believes possible here tor a manhood that can grow heavenward without limit. 'This he advocated as obligatory upon parents and society in view of the discontent of ignorant toil, the dangers of littleness in positions of official respon sibilities, the serene satisfaction ot a well rounded and broad, cultured man hood. The address is to be published, and we hope all our readers will catch the enthusiasm and the hopefulness ol one whose love for Hawaii m*i, and for its prosperity, has only grown more intense by twenty-five years of absence. The Hawaiian Legislature is not the only one to which absurd and ridi c.ulous petitions are sent. The prison committee of the Massachusetts Legis lature has reported "inexpedient to prohibit the employment of convict labor in any branch of mechanical industry except the manufacture of textbooks for the public schools." �. .. THE FRIEND, 54 Capt 'Thomas Spencer, a well-known resident, U. S. Oomnien ial Agent at Hilo, died in the hotel in this city, Saturday, June 28. Coming to this city as the-captain of a whaler, he gave up that business, and opened a ship chandlery on Queen street. He re moved to Hilo, having purchased the store and the business which Mr. Pit man managed for many years. His natural characteristics, his bluffhearty ways, so generally considered typical of a sailor, won for him many friends: and his ardent patriotism was notorious ail over the islands. 'Though a native of Rhode Isiand, there was in his love for the "stars and stripes" a large measure of tropical fire, volcanic in its occasional outbursts. He came to Honolulu for medical treatment ; but the fatal disease which had laid hold of him, was beyond the skill of physicians to cure, and after lingering a few days, attended with faithful care by many sympathizing friends, it was evident he had come to Honolulu to die.
