Our good Queen Liliuokalani takes the throne utider circumstances most favor able, if wisely used, for a happy and prosperous reign. She enjoys in a high degree the affection of her Hawaii in subjects, and their confidence in her attachment to their welfare. Her gentle and gracious demeanor, her good sense, and her fine culture, have also commanded the h'gh regard of the foreign community, which has grown to a sympathizing esteem, in observing her many and active labors for the relief and uplifting of her own sex among the people. If in the incipient adjustment of her relations, as Queen, to the government, a slight cloud has shadowed the brightness of the prospect, the difficulties arising seem to us not such as to justify impatience or haste, but rather to call for kindly forbearance, and patient efforts for a mutual good understanding. Full weight is to be given, and consideration felt, for those natural and national sentiments in favor of the power and prerogat yes of Royalty, which are inbred in the Hawaiian People and their Chiefs. It can hardly be doubted by any one that this Kingdom is advancing through a period of transition from Monarchy to government by the People. 'The nation is slowly ripening for the ultimate change. It is gradually learning the ways and methods of popular government. The change needs to be gradually accomplish- 17 Number 3. tion. Those who sustained tbe Queen's action, however, maintain that on the demise of the Sovereign the commissions of the Ministers become invalid, unless renewed. There were many more who felt that it would be a serious hardship to the Queen to work with a Cabinet in whose (election she had had no voice, and some advanced. of whom might be personally objectionable To our Queen undoubtedly, by reason to her.

Accord'u g y he sent out his messengers in every direction) and in a short time the buccaneers were tied hand and foot, slung on poles like pigs, and thus carried on board of the "Argentina." It was certainly a good riddance for Hawaii. Kamakau ssys that a few r>f them were concealed near Kailua, and thus escaped capture, among whom was a negro, "Manuela" or "Nopa" by name. 'The greater part of the church ornaments were also recovered, and delivered to Captain Bouchard by Kamehameha's orders. Several of Bouchard's letters, thanking Kamehameha and Don Marin for their assistants, and for provisie>ns furnished him, have been preserved, as well as the commission which he gave to Don Marin, appointing him Consul of the Argentine Republic for Honolulu. He seems to have given a similar commission to Edmund Butler of I'.ahaina. The first officer of the Santa Rosa, a Spaniard, had gone to Kauai, and was said to be living under the protection of Katitnualii. On It.irning this, Captain Bouchard pr< reeded thither with a peremp lory message from Kamehameha to the chiefs of Kauai, 'The "Argentina" reached Honolulu just as Captain Davis was leaving the harbor, brought him to with a shot across his bows, and made him lie under her lee all night. Next morning the Spani. rds searched his.vessel without finding either if the runaway officers. On arriving at Waiinea, Kauai, either from the effect of Captain Bouchard's threats or from that of Kamehameha's order, and with the aid of Johr.ny Gowan, a young Englishman, the ringleader of the mutineers was brought out of his hiding place, tried by drum he. d c< urt martial, and shot on the be; eh. Tim c other runaways were taken, after which the two vessels sailed for Honolulu, to lay in supplies for their homeward voyage. Bouchard's attack on monterev, etc. The American brig "Clarion," Captain Henry Cy/.elaar, which arrived at Santa Barbara October 6, 1818, had warned the Spanish authorities that two insurgent vessels were being fitted out at the islands for u cruise on the American coast Governor Sola made elaborate preparations for defence, and sent orders to every mission and presidio to have all articles of value, such as church ornaments, boxed up and sent to certain inland stations, where stores of provisie ns were to be collected. All non-combatants were to be ready to retire at the first warning to these places of refuge, and sentinels were to be posted at commanding points of view. The hostile Squadron did not, however, arrive at the coast till late in the afternoon of November 20, 1818, when the lookout on Point Pinos reported two ships of war in sight approaching Monterey. �Volume 49, No. 3.] 'The Governor's available force at Monterey consisted of forty men and eight cannons, 6 and 8 pounders. According to Captain Gyzelaar,the "Argentina"carried thirty four guns, and her consort, under Lieutenant Pedro Conde, twenty guns, their combined crews numbering about 290 men. Great was the panic on si ore. 'The women and children were li.istily packed off in ox carts to Soledad and Sau Antonio, cimping out over night on the road, in a pelting rain. Some of their adventures are related in the January num ber of the Century magazine. For what followed we have only the California accounts,collected by Mr. H. H. Bancroft, which are contradictory and evidently exaggerated. Captain Bouchard's report to h s own government has not yet come to hand The Santa Rosa anchored about midnight, and nexl morning engaged in a combat with the shore battery without any decisive result. Governor Sola reports that after two hours' firing, her commander lowered his flag and asked for a suspension of hostilities, which was granted. This, however, may have been a ruse. 'The query suggests itself, if she really surrendered, why did not the Spaniards take possession of her and turn her guns against the"Argentina ? The tradition current in the Vallejo family is that there was a new battery of three iBpoundcrs, not mentioned in the official reports, under J. J. Vallejo, w icll won a temporary victory over the S.mti Rosa. A boat was then sent ashore with three men, whom the governor detained as prisoneis. One of these men, Joseph Ch.ip'iian, who was an American, after wards married a Spanish lady, and remained in California till his dedth in 1849. Later in the day, the "Argentina" arrived and summoned the governor to surrender, which he haughtily refused to do. Next morning the Argentina stood closer in arid landed nine bats near the site of the present steamer wharf, at the same tine opening a heavy fire. Upon this Governor Sola beat a retreat with his men, t king most of the ammunition and the provincial archives to the "rancho del Rey," at S ilinas.

His vessels were afterwards sighted off the Mexican coast, near Acapulco, steering south. He had probably expected to surprise the Spaniards, and to reap a rich booty, and perhaps hoped to gain the peop c over to the side of the insurgents, and thus to anticipate the revolutiein, which took place three years later. If so, he failed in both objects. His attack made a deep impression on the imagination of the Cali tornians. As time went on, the story grew. The defenders of Monteiey were exilted into heroes, and the name of "the pirate B >uch.ird"*inspired terror like that of Capta n Kidd on the Atlantic coast. LATEX NOTICES OF HOUCHARD. Of his subsequent career we know but little. No doubt in the early records of the navy of Buenos Ayres a full report of this cruise may be fund. Among Don Marin's papers is a letter from Captain B lucharo, tr.jin Valparaiso, dated Decern ber 20, 1819, inqu.ring about a brigantine with a cargo of merchandise, which a crtain William TetLn was believed to have run away with, and instructing him to have ;t seized and sod for the benefit of the owners. Mr. Thi mas Sutcliffe, in his work en titled "Sixteen Years in Chile and Peru," menti ns a corvette in the Peruvian ser vice off Cilia', in 1824, called the "Santa Rosa," and commanded by a Frenchman, Captain Brechard, whom I believe to have been our e.ld acquaint nee, Captain B-u chard. The "Victory," or "Santa Rosa," was rep rted by Captain 'Thomas Metk of the "Pedlar", to have been accidentally blown up in the harbor of CalU 1 in 1826.

He was born in South Kona, Hawaii, Dec. 31, 1831. He went early to the Hilo Boarding School; and always retained pleasant recollections of the four years spent under the influence and teaching of Father and Mother Lyman of blessed memory. From Hilo he went to Lahainaluna, and there received thorough education and culture in his native language, using textbooks which had been translated into Hawaiian. He graduated in the memorable class ef 1855, with Revs. M. Kuaea, J. Waiamau, J. N. Paikuli, and others. His first pastoral work was at Hauula on this island of Oahu; and from there he went to aid Father Bishop in caring for the church at Ewa. In 1856 he married to Libby Olivia Kale, whose mother had been one of Miss Ogden's early pupils, and who had herself spent several years in Miss Ogden's family, and enjoyed her careful, thorough training. F. ther Bishop greatly valueel Mr. and Mrs. Mahoe; and it was not easy for him to spare them fir the work in Micronesia. They sailed in the second trip of the missionary packet "M< rning Star No. 1," in 1858. At a general meeting of the mission, held that year at Kusaie, they were designate d to the Gilbert Islands, to begin work on Tarawa as soon as an associate should come. Meantime Mr. and Mrs. Mahoe remained at Apaiang, where they were valued helpers in the different departments if the work. A neat and comfortable cottage with all needed out buildings were made ready; and, as soon as enough of the language was acquired, they were able and willing teachers. Mr. Mahoe rendered valuable aid in building the first church and the first three schoolnous- son Apaiang; and at length, in addition to preaching at Koinawa, the capital, in his turn, he took charge of the work at Aonobu.ka, one of the out stations. In iB6O Mr. Mahoe was ordained to the work c f the ministry, and located with Mr. G. Haina at Tabiang on Tarawa—a hard, unpromising field. But the patient endurance and cheerful courage of these faithful laborers were equal to the need. An occasional interchange of visits between the families on the two islands of Tarawa and Apaiang afforded a delightful and welcome change. The writer does not forget the kindly ent. rtainment that was given her in Mr. M hoe's family at the time that the "Star of Peace" was making the pioneer missionary tour of the islands of Maiana. As the happy, busy years went by the work was often interrupted by wars and rumors of wars. These culminated at leng.h in 1868 in a serious civil war. The southern half of Apaiang joined forces with the southern and western parts of Tarawa in rebellion against the two kings, Abraham Kaiea and David Kourapi. Mr. Mahoe was temporarily occupying the station at Apaiang. The Tarawan party then nearest the station were almost fiendish in �20 their hatred of all that was good, and in their disposition to worry and annoy the mission families. More than once some of them were found plotting to murder every body and take all the property. 'To steal anything they could lay hands en seemed their constant aim, by day and night. After ten weeks of this incessant and exhaustive nervous strain one of the families was about to leave, for the usual return to Honolulu. 'The question was asked, Would it not be better for the; present that all should go, and leave the islanel until these troublesshall be overpast ? Mr. Mahoe, with noble heroism, said, "'There is mission property here; I will stay and care for it." And so he did, unt.l the treacherous assassi i's bullet laid him low. The two little girls, who followed their father, as he staggered across the verandah after he was shot, and were found by the trader bending over him where he lay, faint from loss of blood, are still living, and do not forget that scene. Weary months of much sufferi g and tedious waiting were appointed to our here). One day, as he lay on his bed in Mr Randolf's home (whither he had been tak en), he saw from his window the dear church he had helped to build go to pieces under the ruthless hands of the Tarawans. The "Morning Star came at last, and took the wounded soldier to the home of his beloved missionary brother, Rev. J. W. Kanoa at Butariuri. Here be was tt> await the "Star's" return from the western groups. But she was left on the reef at Kusaie and never came; and it was not until 1870 that he could get to Honeilulu and to medical aid by theschooner "Annie," Capt. Babcock. Once here, in his native air, and in the wise hands of good Dr. Stangenwald, the wound gradually healed; and, little by little, the good constitution reasserted itself, and health was re established. Still the right arm was useless; but the undaunted man learned to write with the left hand, and very legibly too. He was able, at length, to take a pastorate on Kauai, anel labored faithfully at Koloa, until the largenumber of Gilbert Island laborers on different parts of that island opened a fielel where his acquaintance with their languagewould make him especially useful. He had his home at Kilauea from whence he tour ed among them, taught them, preached to them, visited them in their homes, and did what he could for them spiritually and physically. When the numb* r was reduce el by the return of many to their own homes, Mr. Mahoe went back to his own people at Koioa. In the summer of 1889 be had the privilege of revisiting the Gilbert Islands, and hoped to see much of the old friends and work. But the breaking out of measles when the vessel returned in the winter, after having brought up the invalid lady missionaries, prevented much of this. He came back in April, 1890, seemed quite well; attended the anniversaries in June, welcomed the new missionaries, and [March, 1891. THE FRIEND. assisted at the first ordination of a Gilbert Islander—that of Rev. Moses Kaurc. After he went back to Koloa his family noticed that his strength was failing. He could not work as he had been used to do, but was very easily tired. Towards the close of the year he was prostrated by sickness brought with it much of pain and weakness. But no complaining words escaped him. As it became apparent that he could not recover, he endeavored to comfort his dear ones with the assurance that he was not afraid tt> die. His trust was in the Saviour and he was ready to go. The twenty third and forty-sixth Psalms were especially precious; and he enjoyed the hymn "One sweetly solemn thought <oines to me o'er and o'er." Yes, he was "nearing home;" and on the 21st of January he entered into the glory of the Lord, as we hope and believe. 'The faithful, loving wife of hisy 'Uth is left to mourn her loss. Of the eleven children that God gave them, six are still living, live having preceded their father to the heavenly home"Blessed are the deael, who die in the C. M. B. B. Lord." Our Columns. Perhaps the best thing we are giving this month is the tribute by Mrs. Bing ham to the memory of Rev. J. H. Mahoe, late missionary at Apaiang, Gilbert Islands. It is a deeply touching story of devotion and suffering for the salvation of a heathen people. Prof. Alexander also gives us one of his admirable collations from Hawaiian history, the story of a nearly forgotten capture of pirates on Hawaii, and of the subsequent sack by their captor Bouchard of the village of Monterey in California. Some additional light is thrown by Rev. Mr. Rand upon the immediate causes of the late uprising of the Ponape natives against their Spanish oppressors. The New Cabinet. On the 25th, the four Judges of the Supreme Court, one dissenting, rendereel their decision, that the Constitution specifying nothing to the contrary, the old pre cedent must prevail, by which the new Sovereign appeiints a new Ministry. 'This decision settled the question. 'The Cabinet at once resigned, and a new Cabinet w.:s commissioned, consisting of Hon. Samuel Parker, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Premier; Hon. C. N. Spencer, Interiot: Hen. H. A. Widemann, Finance;and HonW. A. Whiting, Attorney General. Mr. Spencer etintinues in office from the old Cabinet. Mr. Widemann has large legis lative and ministerial experience, although somewhat impaired in strength by years. Mr. Parker is a gentleman of wealth, representing the Hawaiian element. Mr. Whiting brings much experience as Deputy Attorney General. All are men of good repute for honoi and integrity. We think that, on the whole, the kingdom is to be congratulated upon such a solution of the difficulty. The judges were careful to specify that the Sovereign has no power to remove her new Cabinet except by the desire of the Legislature. We regard this result as one likely to inspire good feeling among the native Hawaiians, a thing of great importance. Cure for Pride. Self knowledge, acepiired through the illumination of the mind by the Holy spirit, is destructive of pride and promotive of humility. No man thinks so little of himself as he who knows himself best. Such a man understands that he owes all that is good in his heart and life to the grace of Cod. And contradictory as it may seem, it is nevertheless true that a good man's ex .Ration is in proportion to his perception of his own nothingness. He rises when he sinks. He grows in nobility of character when he most clearly estimates his own imperfection. It is to the poor in spirit that Christ gives the riches of the kingdom of heaven. For whi soever exalteth himself shall be abased ; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.— Luke xiv:n. From a laugh to a tear is a short bridge and soon crossed. Years do not make sages; they only make old men. God likes an open hand and close mouth. It is the bravest who are the most forgiving. One who does nothiug is very near to doing ill. One who can take advice is apt to be superior to him who can give it. 'The truest end of life is to gain the life that never ends. Temperance is a tree, which has contentment for its root and peace for its fruit. Arabian Maxim. — (Continuedfrom Page 2J.) It was in the merning of the same day that I found the good minister, my host, fumbling over the bottom things in the trunk whie;h was in the chamber I occupy, looking for a discarded Derby hat. He soon brought it to light. It was a seedy hat and worn for age and wear, but it was black and stood up stiff. Having a suspicion of what he was about, I said, "Who, pray are you getting that hat out for? You have one and I have one, is it for Dan ?" The reply was, "I did not know but that you might wish a stiff one to-day and a �Volume 49, No. 3.] black hat' in the place of your straw or crush hat." 'This was said in view v( the fact that the church stood in the next yaiel, and the wearing of the hat was just for a moment. But that moment lolel the story, as I afterwards discovered, for, during that morning I was approached by one of the deacons who sail to me, "And why have they not ordained you ?"' The fact is, I had on the crush hat. I have known this same minister on a journey to discard his broad brimmed straw hat and ride more than a score of miles in the heat of the day with his ministerial blae'k hat on his head, and his face all exposed to the sun. And when I remeinstrati d with him, and pleaded for his health and his comfort, he quietly replied, "I do it that I may not discredit my office." It is well known that the Hawaiian cannot stand ridicule. Nothing cuts him worse than the scornful la-'gh. If you want to throw him ( It his guard poke fun at him; if you are indifferent to his favor then disregard the propr eties in his pres ence. His ielea of gooel form in ly not be just yours, but he has a quick instinct which tells him of any careless slighting of it. He; can tell a gentleman when he sees one although he may not always be able to tell a clergyman anil manners go a great way with him. civilians. 'The Spaniards thereupon at tacked the native fort, which is defended by a zigzag stockade of mud antl timber some twenty feet high by fifteen to eight een feet wide. It is said that the natives fought with singular bravery, an instancebeing cited of one <f them who with his last strength struggled upand shot a Spaniard, and immediately afterwards died eif the live wounds previously received 'The islanders were eventually driven into the jungle, where the difficulties ol the Spaniards were increased, as the b ish and undergrowth are very thick, and the savages have sprinkled the ground with man traps, added to which their costume in war time consists tjf green leaves, which makes it very difficult to see them Rgail It the foliage, while their superior size and strength, and the fact that they are armed with Remington rifles and are as active as monkeys, placed the Km peans at still further disatlvantage. Nevertheless the loss of life Ofl the native side is said to have been very large, although no actual figures can be given, as the brg/ast p-rt of their dead and wounded were t:arned away by their friends. It is said the Spanish commander, who is among the slain, was so mortified with the loss of Ins soldiers antl the unsatisfactory conditions under which he had to fight that in a moment of frenzy he shot himself. $452 have rlready been subscribed in Hilo toward the proposed new Portuguese chapel for tint place, [.nd $100 more Kohal.i, tnak have been contributed I'r ing a total so far of $55.'.

It was an afternoon union service where both whites and natives were present, that the pastor in in giving oi.t the number i I hymn, repeated the numeral in English as well as in native. It seems that according to the Haw iian idea it was a very presumptuous thing for him to do, for he was not an accredited master of English and coulel only talk it brokenly, having the power to understand much more than he wou'd speak. He simply said " page —, Gospel Hymns," anel pronounced the words correctly, but that short sentence from his hps sent a scowl over his wife's face who sat before him in the front pew, and caused his son, who was a Kamehameha boy, and sat in the hack-seat of the church, to break out with a scornful snarl. All this 1 took in as I sat in the pulpit, and put it to the account of a mere whim— a sort of comical ebulition of spirit. But what was my surprise on going home to the parsonage after the day's work was done, to find the good wife taking her husband severely to task for hit vanity and presumption. "I was ashamed of you to-elay for what you did. You are a pretty man to put yourself forward as a I heard the people master of English. speaking about it.

By the happy providence Rev. W. I). VVesterveh was down from Maui and kindly consented to give the Boys the talk on " The Cave Dwellers anel Cliff Ruins " of Colorado, Arizona anel Mexico. Mr. Westervelt has visited anil c.ireful|y studied these ancient and interesting ruins anel concludes that the dwellers therein were Indians, moving north from Mexico and that their decen I ants are yet found among the Indians of the north. The talk was very interesting and instructive not only to the hoys but to some older listeners who were present. Sunday Evening Meeting. For several weeks the attendance upon the Suneliy evening meeting has been un usually large, and the me< tings have been well sustained and interesting. There is still room for more to attend, and opportunity for more to contribute a few words of testimony or offer a brief prayer, this increasing the value and helpfulness of the meeting.

I will never utter another oath; I will never drink another elrop of intoxicating liquors; I will never gamble. Anel, as God is my witness, I have kept those three vows to this hour. Real glory springs from the silent conquest of ourselves; without that the conciurror is only the foremost slave. This world is but the vestibule of an immortal life. Every action here touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity. While the intemperate man inflicts evil upon his friends, he brings far more evil upon himself. Not only to ruin his family, but also to bring ruin on bis own body and soul, is the greatest wrong that any man can commit. Socrates, Grecian; 469 B. c. — �25 THE FRIEND. Sermon Rev. E. G.

Tuesday, June 24th, they heard that more soldiers were coming on the morrow from the colony and from the garrison at Uana, to help the Lieutenant carry out his threats against the teachers nnel some of the principal chiefs. Tl.e fact that the governor permitte d the Lieutenant and prusis to ignore the request of Miss Palmer and build iheir houses right up against our church was pre til" enough to the natives that the Lieutenant was c riving out the governor's t rders. They aiso believed that he would can) out all Ins threats given above in regard to the native teacl era and Christians, and many other threats which I have no tune to give. Many of them also believed that if they permitted the Spanish force to remain at Ova they win lei drive the missionaries away.

A large number of the congregation were at the depot, waiting. * * * My children were almost excited and came running towards me. The congregation was out strong on the Sabbath. On Monday evening the congregation, led by our Christian Endeavor Society assembled at our house to give me a reception of welcome home. The affair was a pleasant surprise, and very cheering to us all. I find that there has been no death in the church, nor more sickness than when I left. The Church has been moving on nicely. Several of the ministers have given us gooel help. God indeed has been good to us all. Our people have taken deep interest in the Portuguese work on the Hawaiian Islands. They have prayed much for its success. Their interest will continue, and also their prayers. They will look for a good blessing upon the labors of the brethren. 'These efforts will not be in vain, (rod speed the work. The people reejuest a lecture on the Islands. Sorry I did not being a map, etcetera.
