He supposed they might get passage m her—at any rate they would make the trial ! We shall anxiously wait to learn the success of Captain Munjiro's expedition. He is a smart and intelligent young man, and has made good use of his opportunities, being able to speak and write the English language with tolerable accuracy. Should he succeed in reaching his native land in safety, his services may be of importance in opening an intercourse between his own and other countries. He would make an excellent interpreter between the Japanese and the English or Americans.. Success to Captain Munjiro, commanding the whaleboat "Adventurer." From the friend June I, iB6O.

John Kno Iptain • �76 THE FRIEND, FOREIGN visit to CORRESPONDENCE. the tomb of confucius. The Grano-Canal. July 25, 1884. Dear Doctor Damon :As you requested, I hasten to rejxm regarding my visit to the tomb of Confucius. Sister and I with ourtravellingcompanions Messrs. Bragnall and Protheroe, connected with the American Bible Society, spent the 14th of July in exploring the very interesting city of Chinfu in which is the celebrated temple of Confucius, and in visiting the tomb which is outside the walls. The temple is a fine structure, resplendent with yellow color tiles. The verandah roof is supported by 24 monolith pillars of marble, 22 feet high ; six of which along the front are very elaborately carved with spirited dragons winding about them. Minor temples are found on either side of the main building dedicated to Confucius' wife, to his father, to his mother, and to five ancestors. One large buildingcontains outline portraits of the sage on great tomb-stone-like slabs, and there are 120 smaller tablets, built into masonry, representing various scenes in Confucius' life which have been worn nearly smooth with the "rubbings" that havefor several ages certainly been taken from them. The large premises are enclosed by very substantial walls, and are heavily shaded by fir, cypress and yew trees. A well is shown from which the great teacher himself drank. Very many huge memorial-stones thickly cover the grounds erected by emperors of almost every dynastysince the sage's death. But the interest culminates around the grave of Confucius. About a mile to thenorth of the city is thewonderful cemetery of the Confucian Clan, surrounded by a massive brick wall, 25 or 30 feet high and about 14 miles in length. The whole of this great area is covered with a heavy growth of fir and cypress, as is common in the grave yards of North China. Within these grounds, 78 generations of this family are buried, extending back some 2,500 years. In all the world no such family grave yard exists, astonishing for the thousands of graves, and for the length of time their history covers. Within this great cemetery, larger than many cities, is a secondary enclosure,perhaps an acre in extent, in which Confucius, his son, and a grandson were buried under great mounds of . OCTOBER 1884. earth 18 to to 20 feet in height—none but these graves of su|>er-eminent three are found within these more sacred walls. The deep shades are very impressive. Massive figures in stone, representing animals and men, stand as sentinels along the approaches; and in front of the mound is a huge stone platform for sacrifices, and also highly finished stone censers and urns. The decaying trunk ofan ancient tree stands on Confucius' mound while other towering trees still living, strike their roots deep into its depths. A few steps to the west of Confucius' grave, the spot is marked with a tablet and a shrine, where one of the sage's disciples spent six years under a mat shed in mourning for his great master, several others mourned in like manner, but ceased this form of their mourning in three months. I need hardly say that an unsentimental one as I was much interested in the undoubted antiquity,and the simple grandeur of these memorials, of one of thegreat men of the world,and who has perhaps influenced more minds than any other who made no claims to divine honors. How sad that he should have been here deified.in a way so contrary to a!l his teachings. When the railroad is built between Shanghai and Peking, following as it no doubt will the course of the Grand Canal,---an event that may not be very distant -no place in all the world will be of more interest to the sentimetal and thoughtful traveller, than the Tomb of Confucius. Yours Faithfully, L. H. GVUCK. - AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR OF 1812 IN U. S. On our passage to China, Capt. Barstow of the "Ceylon," would oft times part in the revolutionary period as noteworthy as Barbara Freitche. The lighthouse, at the above period, was made the scene of a fife and drum victory over an English blockade in Scituate harbor. Two American vessels were coming into harbor laden with flour. As it was shallow, the man-of war was afraid to venture, and manned two boats to pursue them. They were fast gaining on them when seen by Rebecca and Abbie Bates, when going out to pick up chips to boil the tea kettle for the evening meal. The place was under the protection of the "Home Guards," who, not apprehending any danger, were on a forage in a huckleberry patch. The girls had become familiar with ammunition and military music. Perceiving the danger, one of the sisters proposed to face the enemy with guns, but, quickly taking in the fearful odds, had recourse to a stratagem. They fled to a side of the lighthouse, so as to be concealed from the enemy, and one of them in stentorian tones called the roll. In an instant after Rebecca struck a martial air on the fife, and Abbie hammered on the drum lustily. The music reached the British, a flag was hoisted and the two boats wheeled about, and in the act a seaman fell overboard but was seized, neck and heels, and hauled in. The music also alarmed the absent guards, who returned in time to raise tumultuous cheers as the enemy were departing, the ladies playing" Yankee Doodle." These two sisters never married, although the) had several proposals. They were very industrious, and could ply the needle and thread on any kind of garment for male or female. The family is remarkable for their longevity. Their father died when very aged, and their mother at 87, and their paternal grandfather at more than 100. One sister, Mrs. Jane Curtis, is in her 90th year, and another, Mrs. Hawthorne, is in her 79th. The house occupied by these two celebrities was built by their grandfather 140 years ago, and is in a wonderful state of preservation. —Boston Traveler. biguile the hours of the passage, by "Sailor yarns," and on one occasion he related the story of his "two Aunts," who put the British to flight, during the war of 18 12, off the Coast of Plymouth, Mass.

We landed in Japan, July 12th, at Nakasaki, and after spending one day on shore, visiting the families of the Methodist and Dutch-Reformed Missions, we passed up through the Inland Sea, viewing its surpassing beauties of land scenery. On arriving at Kobe, we landed Sabbath afternoon, but just - �78 The Chinese Welcome to Their Teacher. Last Thursday night the grounds of the Chinese Church were gay with paper lanterns and the audience rooms, above and below, were brilliantly lighted. The occasion was the welcome extended by the Christian Chinese of Honolulu to their tried friend and teacher, Mr. F. W. Damon, ( "Frank Damon",) to the new teacher of Chinese brought by Mr. Damon from China, to Rev. and Mrs. S. C. Damon and to Mrs. F. W. Damon. Mr. Coo Kirn was the moving SLirit in the affair, his efforts being ably seconder! by his efficient wife, by Consul Alee, by Mr. Li Cheung and by the Chinese Christians generally. The second story room was prettily trimmed, branches of palms stood in the corners, branches of some graceful climbing plant depended from the lamp brackets aloni; the walls and hung from the chandeliers. The pulpit lost its conventional identity in a mantle of Rowers and ferns and delicate greenery. On the wall behind the pulpit were the words "Welcome Aloha"— the same vtmrU nm! the same letteri hat had greeted Mr. Oggle and J'l us i in the Y. M. C. A. Hall. The programme of welcome began by a few words in Chinese" from Mr. Goo Kirn. Then Rev. C. M. Hyde prayed. After prayer a familiar hymn was sung—Hawaiian, Chinese, English voices, each in their own language. Then Mr. F. W. Damon made a brief address in Chinese. He spoke slowly yet without any hesitancy and with apparent fluency, evidencing a marked advance in his study of at least a portion of a language whose interminable dialects have been the despair of many a linguist. After his address in Chinese, he spoke briefly in English, expressing the graceful converse of that graceful sentence of Confucius, "It is good to greet the home-come traveller from a foreign shore." Mr. Hyde made a felicitous little speech of congratulation, in behalf of the foreign well wishers of the Chinese Mission. Another hymn was sung, after which brief speeches were made by Rev. S. C Damon, Hon. A. Y. Judd and Mr. T. H. Davies—all three being interpreted by Mr. Li Cheung. In the course of Judge Judd's remarks, he advised all the unmarried adult Chinese before him to go or send to China and take each to himself one wife. Mr. Davies alluded in glowing terms to the average commercial integrity of Chinese traders in Hawaii, and mentioned, impersonally, an instance of rare business honor on the part of a Chinese merchant of this city. Mr. To Ting, the new teacher, spoke briefly, in Chinese. The assembly then went down stairs to the school rooms, where ice cream, cake, tea and coffee were served; and where the audience had the pleasure of hearing Mrs. F. W. Damon sing, in Chinese, one of the familiar hymns of Christians in ev;ry land. The lady's mastery of the language and its accent is so perfect that Mr. Li Cheung declares that if he had not seen the singer should have be lieved the voice to be that of a Chinese lady. —Saturday Press, Sept.

A very large con- gregation assembled to hear him, including Captain Aridji, of the Japanese training-ship Tsukuba. Mr. Damon spoke in strong terms against the injustice received at the hands of foreign powers by Japan; and paid a handsome tribute to the efforts of Judd, Richards, Lee, Wylie and others who had so successfully labored to secure the autonomy of these islands and to prevent a reproduction of the same offensive conditions that hamper the best development of Japan, He presented an array of figures showing something of the development of the present educational system of Japan—a system thai no one man has done more to develop, than Mr. M. M. Scott of this city.—From the Press. �79 THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, 1884, T-« P. ADAMS. AUCTION AND COMMISSION Merchant. WEBSTER'S THIRT\-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT UNABRIDGED. Sheep.
