Parental Work in Hawaii.

In these Islands, and notably in Ho
nolulu, there are considerable numbers
of delightful homes, where households
of very happy and lovely children are
growing up under an unusually wise and
careful training. These homes .tie generally those of devout Christian fathers
and mothers. There are some such
homes where Christian faith is absent,
yet Christian morals rule, and Christian
fidelity and tenderness prevail.
Many elements have contributed to
favor this development of the Christian
home in Hawaii. Social exigencies and
claims have been less exacting than in
larger communities, and the time of
parents has been more easily secured
for the claims of the home. The absence
of the home in our sense among native
Hawaiians, with the fatal consequences
thereof, has induced especial guard and
care of the home among the enlightened
classes. Contributing to the good result,
has been the presence among us of
many English and German families
of the better class, people careful of
home training, and experienced in it.
Greatest of all has been a powerful and
pervading Christian culture, generating
and maintaining an active sense of
parental responsiblity for the spiritual
culture of offspring, and of wise conduct
tending thereto.

Such happy homes have a productive
contagiousness, like beautiful gardens,
inciting the passers-by to cultivate in
like beauty their own home plots. The
children of such culture will become in
turn wise, loving parents of beautiful
families growing up in Christian nurture.
Herein, to our view, is perhaps the
highest hope for the social and spiritual
future of Hawaii, a large body of the
coming generation, who are being imbued and inspired from earliest years
with the love of all that is pure, lovely
and holy. Many of them may be swept
away by evil influences, but the great
body of them will abide true to what is
right and pure. And many may be expected to become active and devoted
leaders for the truth.
To all this brightness and beauty of
home life in Hawaii there lies adversely,
a contrasting shadow and a menacing
blight. There is a recking morass of
social leprosy lying broadly alongside of
what is so lovely, like the foul saltmarshes adjacent to sweet gardens at
VVaikiki. There are the saloons with
their diabolic magnetism, dragging such
a throng of our capable young men
down into hopeless dissoluteness.
Even among our purest homes, there
appear wayward youths who seem to
defy the most prudent and earnest
mouldings and guidings of parental love.
Some untoward current of evil has seized
upon them. Some vicious quality of
ancestry has come to the surface in them,
by the law of atavism. Such youth are
often of bright and attractive natures,
and draw others of their own circles into
evil. We need not dwell upon the
shadows, nor multiply instances. Parental solicitude will not fail to be active.
The deep pleading cry will ever go up
for ourselves and for our children:
"Our Father, lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from the Evil One."

NUMHER 11.

ance Cause here. Nor could there be
one more earnest, loving or persistent
"in their good work. There has been undoubtedly as intimated by the Secretary,
a feeling during the past year, of discouragement and partial apathy in this
work. We have all felt it. We have
been almost content, if we could only
hold our ground against the saloons,
and prevent them, if possible, from extending and increasing their destructive
work. We thank God that thus far, they
have not succeeded.
The year has been one of reactionary
tendency in politics. The opponents of
Prohibition and of the Sabbath have
been much emboldened. The supporters
of Reform have been confined to the defensive; they have had to fall behind the
more solid entrenchments of a radical
and deep rooted sound public sentiment,
which have so far resisted the efforts of
the enemy to overcome. Public interests
of even profounder consequence than
those of Temperance have been threatened, but now seem likely to remain
secure. Such a year has not been suited
to aggressive work. We may be very
grateful that we have been enabled to
"hold the fort" thus far, while radical
political issues were in contest.

Death of Eldress Phof.be. —We
join in the lament for the sudden de-

cease of this noble woman, so long prominent in labor for the elevation of the
daughters of Hawaii. A multitude of
Hawaii looked up to her as a Mother.
We remember her when first among us
twenty-five years ago as Sister Phoebe.
Although with little personal acquaintance, we knew her face as an attractive
one, and indicating a marked and decided personality. Eldress Phoebe had been
(for forty years, we believe) a leading
member of the Davenport Sisterhood
founded by Miss Sellon.and always wore
the dress of the order.

The "Robert W. Logan."
This trim little missionary schooner
was in our harbor for nearly two weeks,
on her way to her important work in the
western Caroline Islands. We have
been acquainted with all the four successive Morning Slurs, have admired
such excellencies as they possessed, and
have heard much of their many and serious defects in both plan and construction. But we have never seen anything
in that line that we so thoroughly admired as this beautiful little yacht. She
is 57 feet in length over all, 16 feet
of water.
beam, and draws eight
She is about 27 tons burthen, is schooner rigged, carrying gaff-topsails, staysail
and flying jib. There is a partially
raised deck of two feet high eiver the
cabin, which extends beyond the midships. At the forward end of the cabin
is the galley, separated from the former
by the water- tanks serving as a bulkhead. The cabin is quite spacious and
well furnished, being about as comfortable as the average accommodations on
the better class of our inter-island coasting schooners twenty or thirty years
since. Her lines are beautiful, and
whole appearance graceful. She seems
admirably planned, and adapted to the
service for which she is designed.
The reasons of the superior planning
and execution of the A'. IF. Lagan over
that of the successive Morning Stars are
obvious ones. It is not merely or chiefly the superiority of the ship building of
California to that of New England, although that has much to do with it. It
is chiefly because the man who was to
run her, and who was intimately acquainted with the needs of her missionary passengers, was allowed not only to
watch her building, but to dictate what
her internal arrangements and furnishing should be. Had Capt. Bray while
at the East, been similarly allowed to
superintend and dictate in the construction and arrangement of the present

have been a good sailer, with proper

What a joy and inspiration it will
be to dear Mrs. Logan and her young
associates at Ruk to have this beautiful
little yacht all at their service in evangelizing the many islands and islets
where the Mortlock and Ruk language
is spoken. Capt. Worth will also gladden them with three months' later mails

He will approach his old home in Ponape with deep anxiety for the outcome
of the very serious troubles on that

Romanes' Estimate of

J.

T. Gulick.

A communication by Mr. Gulick to
Nature of April 16, 1866, is introduced
by a letter from Prof. Geo. J. Romanes,
in which he says,"I cannot allow the
present communication to appear in these
columns without again recording my

conviction that the writer is the most
profound of living thinkers upon Darwinian topics, and that the generalizations which have been reached by his
twenty years of thought are of more importance to the theory of evolution, than
any that have been published during the

post-Darwinian period."
An article by Prof. Romanes is republished in the Ma:iist, entitled "Mr. A.
R. Wallace On Physiological Selection."
In a private letter to the editor, Prof.
Romanes writes, "The article refers to a
completely new departure in the theory

of evolution, striking in the principle of
homogamy, the root-principle erf the
whole, and in physiological selection,
one of the main branches. Yet neither
principle has so far been perceived except by Mr. Gulick."
The article charges Mr. Wallace with
singular misconceptions of the views
both of Prof. Romanes and of Mr. Gulick.
We have also before us a pamphlet of
seventy pages, extracted from the Linnean Society's Journal, read before that
Society, Dec. 19, 1886, and entitled
"Intensive Segregation, or Divergence
through Independent Transformation.
By Rev, f. T. Gulick. It is evidently a
product of profound study and reflection,
as well as of intimate acquaintance with
writers on Biology and Evolution. A
marked feature of this, as well as Mr.
Gulick's other essays on his specialty, is
a most elaborate and intricate terminology, necessary, as he claims, for the
proper discrimination of the various
forces, proeess'es, and conditions determining evolution of Varieties and
Species. So far as our limited ability to
judge extends, his distinctions seem to
be thoroughly philosophical, and the
fruit of exhaustive study of his subject.
He supports his theories by an extensive
adduction of facts, not only from the
Oahu snails, but from flora and fauna
elsewhere.
Mr. Gulick's style is perspicuous, although not as attractive as those of
Romanes or Wallace, whose writings
are, comparatively, easy reading.

A Card of Thanks.

strangers in a strange land, and followed
by your loving gifts, first of a sheltering
and agreeable abode and then also furnishing it with all that is necessary to
make a pleasant and comfortable home,
will never be forgotten by either of us.
We would also manifest our gratitude
to the loving Father in Heaven Who is
the Source of "every good and perfect
gift."
We pray Him that in proportion to
the reward He has promised for a cup
of cold water given in His name, so,
may He bless each one who has directly or indirectly contributed to our comfort here.
And now our most earnest desire and
daily prayer is that God may so help us
and use this home, that it may in all
things be a missionary home, and that
from it such influence shall go out into
the neighborhood and to all the Portuguese in these Islands as will be for the
uplifting and salvation of our benighted
people; to the glory of Redeeming
Grace and the rejoicing of our fellowlaborers in Gospel Evangelization.

These have all been created and sup-

the Girls' schools by the Government in
the form of capitation fees, added to occasional grants in aid for buildings.
Besides these, are on Hawaii the Hilo
Boys' Boarding School and the Kohala
Female Seminary at Makawao, and on
Kauai the new Industrial Boarding
School at Koloa.
All these twelve schools represent a
very large amount of beneficence on the
part of individuals and Associations,
continued and ever increasing through a
period of nearly thirty years. This
benevolent effort has been most wisely
and economically administered. It has
produced a copious harvest of fruit in
the great numbers of Hawaiian youth
educated and trained for pure and serviceable life, and in the very considerable number of worthy Christian households among the people. This is the
only reward looked for, and it has been
an ample one, richly recompensing all
the effort and cost.
There has been, however, another
and a very precious reward in the form
of a social benefit. For the work of
these schools, there has been carefully
selected and brought into this country a
large body of the choicest class of Christian teachers of both sexes, but the majority of them ladies. We cannot
give the precise number of men and

some influence. Who can doubt that
the character of the Kamehameha
School and its teachers is powerfully
and healthfully felt by every school in
the kingdom?

We all greatly enjoyed the short and
visit we had from our old
friend, so long going and coming here
as the able and esteemed master of the
Morning Star. His companions were
also most welcome, as representatives
of Sunday School and Y. M. C. A. work.
We cannot envy these gentlemen their
seventeen days tossing in the little yacht,
even in such excellent company, and
good Christian fellowship. But we believe Madam Pele gave them a firstclass reception at Kilauea, and they
seemed to be having a good time in
Honolulu. We think they will vote
their steamer passage home as better
than that in a small schooner. Yet the

feeling is strong among the Japanese,
as well as the Chinese. The young
man, expected from San Francisco as
an assistant for Okabe, had made other
engagements, which precluded his accepting the invitation sent him by the
Hawaiian Board.
The continued illness of Mr. F. W.

many friends, who had hoped for a
speedier recovery, rather than a merely
gradual improvement.

Dr. Mauritz with promptness and great

But God had otherwise determined.
The deceased was only twenty-four years
of age. We sympathize deeply with the
bereaved husband and his motherless

who have no hope, for Mary had chosen
that good part which shall not be taken
away from her. She gave her heart to
Christ in early childhood. Unostentatious, and but little known beyond the
circle of her own family and Church and
Sabbath School, she was a worthy example of a Christian daughter, wife and
mother. Dying in the full possession
of her faculties, she gave each member
of her family a parting message of love.

five years, the body of lava has been
slowly rising in the shaft from the central fires below. Of late, it has begun
copiously to overflow, with the attendant foamings and explosive belchings
which characterize its periods of more
splendid activity. This may continue
for years with increasing violence and
splendor. Or a subterranean break may
speedily occur, draining the shaft of its
lava. On the whole, we may say that
visitors to the volcano during the next
six months have the highest probability
of witnessing volcanic displays of exceptional activity. With a wet season,
such as is probably at hand, the foaming
action at the summit erf the lava column
must be much increased, owing to the
increased penetration of water into the
fires at lower depths.
Do you suppose that if the Bible had
been written by some learned doctor,
revised by a committee of eminent
divines and published by some great
religious society, we should ever have
heard of Noah's drunkenness, of Abraham's deception, of Lot's disgrace, of
Jacob's cheating, of Paul and Barnabas' quarreling, or of Peter's lying,
cursing, dissembling ? Not at all. The
good men, when they came to such an
incident, would have said, "There is no
use saying anything about that. It is
all jiast and gone; it will not help anything, and it will only hurt the cause."
If a committee of such eminent divines
had prepared the Bible, you would have
had a biography of men whose characters were patterns of piety, and propriety,
instead of pom sinners, as they were.
Sometimes a man writes his own diary

the Almighty writes a man's life he tells
the truth about him; ahd there are not

school is certainly a noble one. II we
might be permitted to state it, we should
say that it is to train Hawaiians for
home life.
As is well known there is very little

Hawaiians. Too few of their sons and
daughters have been trained for it. In
the conduct of the affairs of the house

wife, of son and daughter, and of visiting friends of both sexes; in short, in the
social intercourse of this people there is
a marked lack. This school proposes to
bring the boys and girls together so far

Our Banana Export.
Honolulu shipped more than 100,000
bunches of bananas to San Francisco in
188i). The export this year is still larger.
The cost of the fruit delivered at the
ship is about one dollar a bunch. This
gives a pretty fair profit to the producers.
On average banana land, about fifteen
hundred salable bunches per acre can be
cropped in three years. But only very
good soil, abundantly watered, will produce bananas at all. We have known
bottom land of exceptional richness, to
yield one thousand good bunches per
annum, for many years in succession.
Most land requires rest, after.three years
cropping of bananas. Much absurdity
has been published about the productiveness of this fruit. We believe that quite
as much nutriment can be obtained to
the acre from corn, potatoes, turnips,
squashes, or cabbages, as from bananas.
With the extension of the Oahu Railway
to Koolau, the available area for banana
culture will be greatly increased. As
only bunches of a given size are accepted for export, there are on all the plantations, during the third year after planting, quantities of inferior bunches sold
for home consumption at low prices.

Rev. O. P. Emerson,

- Editor.

Last week (the 24th of Sept.) our
brethren of the Portuguese mission took
possession of their new home on Miller
street, just west of the Queen's Hospital.
The premises were bought not lonn
since by the Hawaiian Hoard. The
house has been repaired and furnished,
and made into a comfortable dwelling.
Beside it we hope soon to see a chapel
where the Portuguese congregation
which has been gathered, shall find a
church home.
The Sabbath services will for the
present continue to be held in the Armory. Here, for the last six weeks, Mr.
Fires has preached to interested audiences, hold ingboth morn in gaud afternoon
services and a Sabbath School. On the
13th, an evening school was opened by
Mr. Baptist, in a building on the Gon
selves premises, opposite 108 Heretania
street. Mr. Baptist has thirty one
pupils.

The Hilo school, we are glad to say,
amount to $8,309.35. But the expendi

school has been started with a larger
corps of teachers. The mission among
the Portuguese has taken a heavy out
lay in introduction of workers and in
purchase and repair ofpremises.
The work among the Chinese requires
over 1,100 a quarter. Por its continuance there is but a small sum on hand
($172), outside of the $500 that was
given with the first purpose in view of
securing an assistant for the superin-

tendent.

The Japanese work on Hawaii calls
for a yearly expenditure of $1000.
Thus it is plain that the Board is in
immediate and pressing need of funds.
The income has never been so great as
during the last year, but the expenditures
have also been great, and they are increasingly so. We have two new missions in the field, for besides the Portuguese, we have a Japanese mission now

been wishing for has come, a new departure in work. We have begun auspiciously and we ask you to help us

and thirfty wage earners. Now the quesconies, Is this honored school,
handed down to us from the fathers,
properly equipped for this important
service? We think not. Most of the
book teaching is done by the principal
and her assistant.
Tins leaves Mi. Terry alone in charge
of the industrial department. He has
on his hands the care of both the shop
and the field work, as well as the general
oversight of the boys in and out of their
dormitories. The charge is too confining. It continues from early morning
till late at night. Mr. Terry needs an
assistant in his department—a man to
take charge of the dormitories and to
lead in the field work.
We do not ask for the elaborate fixings of the Kamehanieha School. But
we do ask for a moderate outiit. We
do ask that Mr. Terry be granted a little
leverage, and that his ready ingenuity
be not left to supply all deficencies.
Not long since he was seen in his
carpenters shop with a dozen or so boys.
There were several things for them to
do, but they had to take turns, for the
proper quantity of tools and machinery
were lacking. One hammer served several boys; about the lathe only two could
be employed at one time, and so on.
The job that day was to evolve a
machine by which some of the boys
could be helped at their work. And it
is evident that the school needs another
teacher. One man and two ladies are
not enough for the care of fifty boys.
The same person might also well be
a musical leader. With the right man
for an assistant and with a little fuller
supply of machinery and with the money
to pay for it, the Hilo School could
offer Hawaiian boys the best of a manly
Christian training. To get upon this
basis we are making a push for the
$10,000 asked, of which $1,500 have already been raised. $8,500 more, and
the work will have been achieved, and
the Hilo School with a $30,000 endowment will then be on a good running
basis. Is not the case hopeful, and is
this not a fair and strong appeal for
those who can to give ? Some have
given nobly, others might do likewise.
You are hereby asked to do so.

Social Reception.
Our first social gathering since vacation was held in the hall on Tuesday
evening, Oct. 33d. This was given as
a Social Reception to Capt. Bray and
the young men who came with him from
S. F. on the "K. W. Logan." The
platform and front of the hall was decorated with potted palms and ferns, hanging green and flowers. The hall was
quite well filled with a pleasant company including several strangers.
Mr. T. R. Walker, President of the
Association made a few opening remarks,
and introduced the General Secretary,
who announced the following musical

programme:

Chorus—Hail Hawaii ..Kamehameha Glee Club.
Piano Soi.o

Miss Carrie Castle.

Sono—Should He Upbraid.. ..Miss S. R. Patch
Chorus —Thou Art My Own I.ove
Kamehameha Glee Club.

The above numbers were rendered
with artistic skill, and to the great pleasure of all present. The words of welcome extended by the President and
Secretary, were happily responded to byCaptain Bray of Oakland, and Mr. C.
M. Campbell of Sacramento. The remainder of the evening passed quickly
and pleasantly, while participating in
ice-cream and cake, and social conversation.
Sunday Evening Service.
The gospel service of song and testimony held in our hall on Sunday evening is growing in interest and attendance. The meetings during the last
month have been among the best we
ever had, yet there is room for morefaces and more voices. Come, and bring
a friend; there are young men enough
in the city to fill the hall. The singing
has been greatly improved under the
able and stirring leadership of Mr. Richards, who continues to give us the aid
of his presence and voice, although his
duties upon that day have become increasingly heavy.
The meeting is held at 6;30 for threequarters of an hour, and the topics for
the month are as follows:
Nov. 2—The Light of the World.
8:12.
John
Nov. 9—Starved on Husks. Luke

perience of a General Secretary over in
America to have four or live fellowworkers from some adjoining city or
State look in upon him almost any day.
In fact, with the surrounding brotherhood, quick and pleasant means of transit, it is the thing to be expected, and
hardly excites remark. I!ut there is one
General Secretary, twenty-one hundred
miles out in the Pacific Ocean who is
quite differently circumstanced. So it is
no wonder that on the forenoon of Oct.
18th, when it become known that the little schooner "Robert W. Logan" had
anchored in the harbor with a small
pleasure party on board, consisting of
live Y. M. C. A. workers from California, that this isolated Secretary lost no
time in getting on board to exchange
greetings and extend a cordial welcometo both old and new friends. The party
consisted of Captain Isaiah Bray, Gen
eral Secretary, and A. N. Breed and U.
P. Alexander, members, of the Oakland
Y. M. C. A. C. M. Campbell, ex-President of the Sacramento Association,
and Philip Dodge of Santa Cruz. As
the little schooner ''Logan" was to pro
ceed on her wa}' to Micronesia for missionary work, commanded by Captain
Worth, the return trip of the young men
to S. F. was to be made in the "S. S.
Australia." On the trip down they
visited the Island of Hawaii and enjoyed
its attractions, which included pouring
rains and a fine view of the volcano tires,
which were fortunately at their best. So
the week that remained before the
steamer would sail was to be devoted to
the metropolis—Honolulu and its
suburbs. On Sunday, the young men
visited the native churches, assisted in
the Y. M. C. A. meeting, and in the
evening, conducted a very interesting
service in the Central Union Church, by
invitation of the pastor, Dr. Beckwith.
I'lie days that followed were too few and
short to see and enjoy all there was in
slore, but the time was well utilized and
pleasant menioi ies remain as the heritage
of absent friends.

Since the introduction of the electric

light into our building, the comfort in

the rooms is greatly increased, especially in the hall, which can now be much
better ventilated than formerly, and the
lighting is so much improved as to make
our hall the pleasantcst room in the city
tor an evening's entertainment.
Mr. T. S. Southwick, our efficient
Treasurer, has dropped his pen and
turned his back on business, for a three
months' trip to his home in Southern
California. A change and rest was
greatly needed, and we hope the best
possible results will follow. Mr. R. B.
Ferguson has been appointed Acting
Treasurer during the absence of Mr.
Southwick.
We expect to have a series of "Familiar Talks' ready to announce soon.
Also some "Practical Talks" to young
men only, will be forthcoming in the immediate future. Due notice will be
given in the daily papers.

Cost at Kamehameha School.

The public as well as the patrons of

will doubtless be
interested to learn what it costs to educate a boy in this school, and how small
a share of this cost, comparatively, is
met by the parents or guardians of pupils. Let us consider what this training comprises. It comprises, first of
all, class-room instruction covering the
whole range of common English
branches. Again, it comprises shopwork instruction according to most approved methods of manual training. It
comprises, also, by training in industrious habits, whereby each boy in school
has regular employment for a set time
each day. It comprises, likewise, a
training in orderly and systematic
methods in the care of clothing, dormitories, and general appearance of buildings. It comprises a wholesome physical development as to food, which is
abundant and of good quality, as to exercise which is regular, and as to facilities and regulations bearing on cleanliness. It moreover comprises a patient
and watchful training in morals and
manners which seeks to impart strength
of character and to purify and invigorate
the heart with high thoughts and worthy
motives.
But it is a large sum, when it is considered that this amount is given outright toward the expenses of each and
every boy attending Kamehameha
School. The sum of $40 paid by each
pupil per year does not pay for his food.
It amounts, in a school year of forty
weeks, to a charge of one dollar per
week for food, which is a small rate,
when it is considered, that a boy's expenses at home for food would be quite
as much if not more. In other words,
a boy in Kamehameha School, paying
one dollar a week, is given a pleasant
room by himself, comfortably furnished;
abundant and wholesome food, nicely
served ; shop-work that gives him
manual skill and preparation for earning
his living ; class-room instruction that is
carefully followed up in the shops and
on the play-ground ; and a general physical, intellectual, and moral training
that any boy might well be grateful for.
Or to put it another way, it costs $170
per year to educate a boy in Kamehameha School, of which sum the boy
only pays a little less than one-fourth,
and the School a little more than three-

Kamehameha School

fourths.

The type of training calls for men and
women who must be resident on the
premises snd whose kindly bearing and
influence shall be always salutary and
helpful. It requires an expenditure for
material in the conduct of the workshops which naturally adds to the cost
of the training given. In numberless
ways, this attempt to train Hawaiian
boys all around, calls for an outlay in
dollars and cents that the simpler routine of ordinary boarding schools does
not require.— Handicraft.

THhL
oneuli owlands.
The new Ewa Plantation is located
upon a gently sloping plain which lies
eastward of the S. W. end of the Waianae mountain ridge. This sloping
plain extends from the base of the mountain to the edge of the great coral flat
which is some three miles wide to the
sea. The plain itself is about two miles
wide from mountain to coral at its eastern end, lessening to half a mile in
width at its western end, and contains
about 2500 acres of excellent arable land,
below an elevation of 150 feet. Beyond
the mountain point, the Plantation hold
a large additional tract of similar land.
A field of seventy-five acres planted
with cane for seed has demonstrated the
soil on this slope to possess an extraordinary fertility. Most persons have
supposed this plain to have been the result of the alluvial washings from the adjacent mountain, whose many ravines
still discharge the water of storms upon
the plain. An attentive observation,
however, discloses the fact that the plain
is not to any extent, the product of alluvial deposit. It is the product of a
succession of vast showers of volcanic
ashes and cinders ejected at different
times from neighboring cinder-cones.
Of such cinder or tufa-cones, there are
three large, and two small ones, in a
line of four miles along or slightly above
the southern base of the Waianae range.
It is owing to the enormous masses of
ejectamenta of these cones that this end
of the mountain lies in rounded slopes,
instead of sharp weather worn ridges,
like the rest of the range.
The same showers of volcanic ejectamenta, falling upon the coral reefs, built
up the Honouliuli sloping plain, highest,
nearest to the mountain, whence the
cinders were exploded far aloft to cover
all the adjacent country. An inspection
of the bluff's near the pumping station
discloses the structure of the upland to
be in successive strata of somewhat ancient volcanic ejecta, composed of tufa,
decomposed cinders, and boulders of all
sizes, often cemented together. These
boulders and pebbles were evidently torn
off the sides of the eruptive fissures,
rounded by the furnace heat and grinding collision in which they were hurled
aloft, and then cemented in the boiling
tufa mud with which they fell. Scattered over all parts of the plain are
roundtd boulders of all sizes, showing
marks of igneous action later than their
original solidification. These are evidently "volcanic bombs" ejected from
the cinder-cones. The greater part of
the last showers which covered the surface must have been composed of the
finer cinders or ashes, which in their decomposition, formed the deep rich soil
of the whole surface of this plain.
It is well known in all volcanic countries, that volcanic ashes and cinders
after exposure to air and moisture, dc-

compose into soil of the richest sort,
abounding in potash and phosphates.
Such appears to be the soil of Honouliuli. Over one-half of the 650 acres prepared for first crop is already planted.
A noble river from the great pump of
the artesian wells is watering it. In a
few months, the actual richness of the
soil will be determined by the growth of
the cane. This tract is, meantime, a favorite resort of visitors by Railway.

And scaled thy wild steeps, all splintered and

Into gloomy ravines by the lava's red tides.
In ages gone by, when the fuse early flashing
Of light on this globe shed its earliest beams.
Deep down in your heart, were the crimson

And surging and foaming in lurid red streams.
The wide arch above you is hid by the streaming
Of sulphurous clouds which to heaven aspire
Flashing blood-red in the wild fitful gleaming,
Of flames from the pit of ineffable fire.

Flames of Gehenna are leaping and playing,
Above the red lips of the feculent flood.
The reeling earth under it, surging and swaying,
O'er its broad bosom run rivers like blood.

Fiercely the flaming flood plunging and roaring,
In hot, hissing torrents envelops the steeps,
Deep down in the valleys, the lurid stream pouring,
Hushes far into the crystalline deeps.

The fury and rage of the fire-fiend expended
No more on thy bosom red rivers shall run,
Thy crater at rest —"now the black strife is end-

Lies stricken and dead, in the light of the sun.
At rest now forever, and peacefully sleeping,
'Neath the soft, mellow light of a tropical sky;
O'er fathomless chasms the wild goats are leap-

Around thy steep slopes wave the palm tree's
green tresses—
A tinkling of streams in the valley's deep shades.
We loiter knee-deep in the cool wildernesses,
'Mong arching tree-ferns in ever-green glades.
The wind sweeping over the fern-clad passes.
Hums a jubilant song in the shadowy lanes.

Doctor Lee, in his sketch of the late
lamented Henry W. Grady, has this
passage:
His next notable speech was in his
own city. An awful curse, the liquor
traffic, had been prohibited by law in
Fulton county. Two years of peace

and prosperity had come as the result.
More coal was sold to warm the poor;
more hats and bonnets were sold to
gladden the wives and children of working men; more furniture was sold to
make comfortable the homes; more worshippers were in church; more children
were in the school; fewer inmates were
in the poor house; fewer criminals were
in jail and lock-up; fewer men were sent
to the penitentiary. Most of all that
was real and good, and useful was in

love of gain led those whose business
had been the destruction of love, and the
ruin of men, to call another election with
the hope of again inaugurating the awful
work. With all his might and enthusiasm he threw himself into the opposition. His friends were on both sides of
the conflict, but he had a conception of
a city redeemed and moving to
wealth, without the blood-money of the
weak. This conception he desired to
see abidingly realized in the city of his
love, a perpetual benediction. The conflict was raging, the parties were massed
and strictly defined; meetings and processions were held, first by one, and then
by the other side. On a certain night
it was announced that Mr. Grady would
speak for prohibition; six thousand people assembled to hear him. Such a
speech on prohibition, measured by the
enthusiasm it awakened and the applause it called forth, has seldom been
delivered on this earth. He said just
before he died that his work in this campaign he desired to be known as what
he regarded as the best in his life.
