A leading complaint against our Puritan Congregational Church in America and these islands has always been of its undue severity in matters of social morals. But now we are catching it upon the other side. The combination of events is as follows. A 'tninent member and office-holder in th Anglican Church, a cultivated half-white, desired immediate marriage with a step-daughter. Of course no white minister would solemnize so revolting a union. Resort was had to a Hawaiian minister of our denomination. He wa:. of course less enlightened than his white brethren. The parties had a government license to marry, which, as a native hew old naturally feel to beauthoritative. He married them. The marriage was published in the daily papers, and from them copied into the marriage column of The Friend, which the Kditor does not usually supervise. N. v conies the Honolulu Diocesan Mag,: me of March 15th, edited by the Bishop of Honolulu, and on the basis of the above facts, charges The Friend, and the vhole Congregational body with lending approval to such a marriage. This di-gusting charge is too absurd , 25 The Friend. Xl'MliKK 4. for serious refutation. Why did not the But their crime is one of which society Diocesan state tbe fact that the offending must continue to feel a wholesome minister was a Hawaiian, which would have changed the whole aspect of the case ? We will here say that the Oahu Association is the only ecclesiastical body having immediate jurisdiction over the native pastors on Oahu, and will hold its semi-annual session some time this month. We have no doubt that the Association will then make suitable expression of opinion, stigmatizing such marriages as incestuous. We think no such case has hitherto arisen here. We have since been to learn that the minister did not become aware of the kinship of the parties until after the ceremony j. Tin-: Marriage pf a Deceased Will's Sisikr. The Diocesan drags into tbe case this controverted question— controverted still in England, but practically settled in the United States and the British Colonies in favor of such marriages. He dangerously confuses these utterly diverse cases as based alike on the principle that man and wife ate ' one flesh," which we deem to have no bearing on either case. We regard the Diocesan as quite in the dark as to the real ground of the iucestuous character of marriage to a step-child. As we understand it, the sacred and tender relation of parent and child is such as to create an essential sacrilege in the act of a child occupying the marital relation that has belonged to the parent. As quoted by the Diocesan from Paul, this is a crime such "as is not so much as named among the heathen." It is an act revolting to the general moral sense of mankind, as really, though in less degree than incest We contend that of child with parent. there is no such repugnance felt to a brother or sister succeeding to the marriage relation of one deceased. The Mosaic law indeed required brothers thus to take the place of deceased brothers. To confound the character of the the Diocesan does, two acts as seems to us as tending to confuse the moral sense in a very unwholesome and demoralizing manner. In so severe!)' stigmatizing such a union, we do not mean to place the offenders beyond the pale of charity, or deny to them the hope of restoration to some degree of social esteem. Clean, temperate, dutiful lives are open to them for the future, bringing the enjoyment of God's grace and man's kindly regard. — - horror, under the penalty of the corruption and destruction of its holiest ties. A GKAVB I'ai'i.t of the Anglican Ci iiK(.\.—A fit occasion has now arisen for us to free our minds to these very excellent brethren, as we have not hitherto felt quite at liberty to do. We hold them in very high esteem as godly, devout, self-denying, and in many respects wise and efficient workers for the kingdom of Christ and the salvation of men. Their error which we seek to point out is due not to personal defects, but to their peculiar training in a State Church. We charge upon the Anglican Clergy that they have directly blunted and corrupted the moral sense of their immediate flock and of the whole Hawaiian people by their uniform practice of welcoming Royalty to the Holy Communion directly from the midst of an abominable living the most notorious and shameless. They have donethis in accordance with the English practice where the sovereign being officially at the head of the Church, abandoned characters like George the Fourth, and other Royal Princes are welcome without question to desecrate the Table of the Lord. An extreme case of this kind occurred here a few years since which scandalized the whole community, when in the midst of the King's vilest excesses, the Bishop personally gave him the communion, and published the fact as matter of gratulation. The Rev. George Wallace, as he stated to us, remonstrated with his Bishop in very severe language, but received only the reply in a derisive tone, "Why, it is the King!" This thing is understood by Hawaiians to mean that religion is matter of form and not of character. It has tended to confuse and lower the moral sense of the whole corrinunity. It can hardly be doubted that it has materially contributed to the disastrous deterioration of morals and lapse towards heathenism of the Hawaiian people of late years. In the case of the recent offender, who was prominent in Court as well as Church, his moral and religious ideas must have suffered serious confusion/in seeing ths King come reeking from his heati .n abominations, and welcomed at the sacred altar! Now while we are on the war-path, we take occasion to declare the detestation very widely felt here, of the effort to erect a statue to a King of so debased a personal character. �26 April, 1892.

At evening some fire was secretly has been in the work of translating and conveyed under the tapas that decorated revising. 27 Mr.Bingham has received special testimonials from his associates in the Hawaiian Hoard, expressing their sense of regret in losing for a season at least the benefit of his great ability and experience in the conduct of their varied work, especially in that part of it relating to their Mission in the Gilbert Islands, and in advising as to laying out the voyages of the Morning Star. Many will recollect that Mr. Bingham acted as Master of the second Morning Star, bringing her around Cape Horn, and sailing her one year's voyage in Micronesia. Mr. Bingham served for several years as Corresponding Secretary of the Hawaiian Board, with rare ability. Both Mr. and Mrs. B. are in very delicate health, and much anxiety is felt as to the continuance of their strength. It is their great desire to be able to accompany the fust invoice of the completed Scriptures to the Gilbert Is. Th< xpectations of the people have been gt tly awakened, and they are eager lo receive the book. Several of the islands have sent on their order for five hundred copies each. Christian friends here will earnestly praythat these veteran missionaries may realize their wishes in full, but especially that they may have strength to complete the printing of the Bible, and that we may be permitted to welcome them here again. Hawaii Honors General Armstrong. A strong meeting of whites and natives was held on the evening of the 9th ult. for the purpose of expressing sympathy for Gen. S. C. Armstrong. It was addressed by Messrs. Dole, Hartwell. Beckwith, Severance, J. S. Emerson, Oleson and Hyde. Dr. Beckwith read a letter just received from the General. He was able to discuss school affairs, and steadily improving. The following resolutions were passed unanimously: "Whereas, the Hawaiian friends of General Samuel C. • Armstrong have learned with solicitude of his recent illness, and wish to put on record and send to him an expression of their aloha, therefore, be it •■Resolved, that Hawaii is delighted to own General Armstrong, who was born and who spent his boyhood and youth in Honolulu, and by his subsequent national services in the United States, has donet he highest honor to the land of his birth, and "Resolved also, that his friends in Honolulu and throughout the Hawaiian Islands hope that he will long be spared to see the results of his grand work among the Negroes and Indians at Hampton, "And also, that this resolution, voted in the old stone church at Kawaiahao, be sent to General Armstrong as a simple token of love and sympathy from Hawaii nei." �28 [April, 1892. THE FRIEND. Resignation of Mr. Oleson. POLITICAL NEWS. We deeply regret that the Rev. Wm. B. Oleson has announced to the Directors of Kamehameha School, his resignation of the office of Principal, to take effect not later than July 1, 1893. His reasons are that the labors of the position have been manifestly too onerous for his strength, which has shown many signs of succumbing; also the need of making a change to ministerial and pastoral work in time, as well as to provide in season for the education of his growing family in the home land. We have no question as to the urgency of these reasons. We rejoice that Mr. Oleson's services have been secureduntilthis noble school has become established on a firm basis, and less experienced hands may he found able to carry on the good work. But we do not the less regret the irreparable loss of his labors as an educator, and of his counsels as a citizen. Although our good brother has lacked opportunity to acquire that facility as a preacher which long practice brings, be possesses exceptional ability in the pulpit. Few discourses in Honolulu pulpits have satisfied us better than his, or have been more stimulating. We expect for him a future of great service to the Church of Christ. Our beloved brother will carry with him tbe most affectionate regards of a large body of the best young men of that Hawaiian race for which he has labored in Hilo and Honolulu so many years. It seems that about a week ago the Marshal had definite information, as he believed, of a plan of Wilcox to make another attempt to capture the Government. The soldiers of the Guard were in consequence employed one night in filling a quantity of bags with sand from the Palace walks, and piling them on the basement wall of the Palace, apparently an inane procedure. Tbe sight of the bags, however, last Monday morning produced a sensation in the public mind. The impression was created that the Government were alarmed about something. It is probable that the very unscrupulous correspondents of the California papers sent on their usual assort merit of sensational antl injurious reports; and that the American public will be told that a revolution is imminent in Hawaii, to our financial injury. So far as we can learn it is true that Wilcox wants to dethrone tile Cjueen and set up a republic, with himself as president, but that he is totally kicking in the necessary support, and knows it. It is quite improbable that be will attempt it, unless he becomes deluded, as he was in ISS9, by the careless expressions oi' (lis satisfaction so abundant at almost all times, but which do not mean support Honolulu welcomes back Admiral Brown of the Flag Ship San Francisco. He has had some interesting, and same unpleasant experiences in Chili, since his last visit to us. Mrs. Brown and their son have joined the Admiral here. We trust the comfort and cheer of Honolulu will compensate for the less agreeable things on the Chilian coast. W. A. Aldrich, a prominent capitalist of ilameda County died recently at Piedmont, Cal., at the age of 68. Mr. Aldrich was long a leading citizen of Honolulu, and senior partner of the firm of Aldrich, Bishop & Co. Two sons still reside in Honolulu. We are glad to welcome back Dr. Chas. A. Peterson and family. Mrs. P. has been absent for a long time. The Doctor's shingle hangs out on Nuuanu street, just above the Fagle House. Judge Kuihelani of Wailuku died at that place on February 21st, at the great age of eighty-six years. He was a native of chief descent, and great integrity of character, long a member of the Privy Council and of the old house of Nobles. He was tax assessor and collector of Wailuku for years, and afterwards Police Justice for a long period. to insurrection. There is no doubt that Wilcox, Ash ford and Bush have taken encouragement to their schemes to get themselves into power by violence, from a very widespread restless looking to annexation as a probable source of relief for our pies ent financial difficulties. The public, however, have 100 much sense to accept the leadership of that Junta, or to sup pose that the United States would deal with a new republic inaugurated under such disreputable auspices. We wish to put ourselves on record .is earnestly desiring the present continuance of the Monarchy. It is probable that the Government will ultimately become republican. The nation is not yet ripe for that. Il would, under present social conditions, be probably disastrous. What is nmst needed just now is for the Queen to inspire public confident in herself b\ putting away certain advisers of ill-tepute, and putting her:-' If under the guidance of men in whom tbe public all have confidence. We believe that the Queen means well, and desires to act loyally to the Constitution and the nation. We believe that her throne will be well supported if she is seen to associate wise counsellors with herself. - PtNA COFFEE Lands. Messrs. Rufus Lyman and sons have secured extensive tracts in Fast Puna, and are about to engage largely in Cattle and Dairy farm ing. They also propose to plant coffee. As A. B. Lobenstein says, "Puna is the coffee district." It has the necessary elevation and moisture. Its chief excellence, like Kona, is its soil of recent lava formation, largely aa or clinker. Potsome reason, new lava, or else volcanic ash and cinder, produce a rich flavor in coffee that is found on no other soil. What Puna now most needs, is Roads. The new Volcano Road is opening fine coffee and other lands. The Crown Lands.—It has long been felt that the public interest required that the Sovereign's life interest in these extensive lands should he commuted for a Stipend, and the lands sold for homesteads to actual settlers. It now appears that the late King defrauded both his successors and the nation by leasing a large proportion of these lands on thirty year leases at low rates. He undoubtedly received therefor large sums in hand, to relieve his pressing necessities. The worst of it is. that these leases arc good in law. Heavy waves visited Kahului on the 10th, overflowing the road on the beach. Similar waves are reported from Puna on the 11th. These were doubtless the i ffe< i of Some heavy storm to the North- ward, waves On our true "Tidal" or earthquake would have recorded themselves harbor tide guage. as Pine Apples.—Great progress has been made on thisisland in thecultivation of choice varieties of this fruit, imported from abroad. The fruil which we have seen is from two to four times as heavy as the common variety. There are 50,-000 or more plants now growing on the lands of different parties. They need a loose soil, but very little water. Chaplan R. R. Hoes has been de- tached from the Pensacola, and assigned lo service on the flagship San Francisco. This has been done at the special request nf the Queen, in order to enable Mr. !!o< S to continue his important work for the ilistoiical Society.

Information 1 V'ice-Connulite, Honolulu, �Volume 50, No. 3.] Vos Moriturus Salutam. Kohala, Feb. 6 1892 Hyde:— I thank you very Dear Bro. much for yours by last mail, giving me your gratifying notes ol your Portuguese trip to Hilo. You speak of regretting that you could not call at Kohala on your way either up or down, but bad you done so the call I le.it would have been to you very unsatisfactory. 1 have seen no one outside of our family since Thanksgiving. All this time I have been prostrate on my bed, with perhaps two or three sittings up a week of not over the average of an hour each. Into this short period must be condensed whatever little personal duties I owe to myself, and also all the reading in which lam able to indulge. The deprivation of reading is to me as you can readily understand one of the greatest of my trials. I have sometimes spoken of myself as a wreck, but that is not doing justice to tbe Divine purposes and methods. God makes no wrecks. Rather I would think of myself as a craft in the process of being dismantled. Gently and graciously my Father takes from me one part of tbe furnishing after another, as though bis purpose were to reduce me to my original nothingness, but it is ail well, 1 would have his blessed will done in me and through me as well as by me. An inventory ol on- present personal possessions would tun some what like this; I have feet but can neither stand nor walk, hands but th. \ handle not, ears that heai not, not even a lell. i if read close by my side, so tli.tt my mail day is the first da)' I am able to sit up after the arrival of the Kinau. My fingers are so stiff thai I cannot even talk with our dear Julia a few sentences m her own language. 1 have jaws but they have lost half their masticating power. Any ordinary conversation can ied on at my side I hear nothing of, and in general I may be said to be reduced tb the smallest measure of manhood. As several of my friends have indicated a desire to come up and see me once more you will notice in the above that such calls could only be productive of great dissatisfaction both to themselves and me, as there could be no free communication .between us, and even were il otherwise possible, I have not the strength for more than a few minutes conversation. * * * This is a long letter, it cannot be repeated, and for the information of those friends Who would be glad to meet me once more on these shores of time may I ask you to have it read before the Hawaiian Board or otherwise if there is nothing objectionable in your mind to such reading. Very truly you is. B. Bono, per C. S. B. THE FRIEND. 29 (Continued from ptige 31.) this long much needed house. If any friend wishes to send Miss Lyons $f>, $10, $60, or even $100 to help out that struggling church with this its honest debt, the writer knows that the chairman of its Building Committee will be the lighter-hearted for it. Ihe sum of $101)0 for a native parsonage may seem extravagant in these hard times. But when it is remembered that the bill for the removal of the lumber from the landing to the site of the building was equal to the purchase price of tbe same in this city, it can be understood that the proportions of the structure, though room}- cannot be large or extravagant. The pastor at Waipio reported $1&6 gave an altogether melancholy picture of his Work. It musl be noted that year before last this pastor was absent from his parish for some live months, Evidently he has not yet caught up with his work. On Friday afternoon the Association examined David K. Mebeula, called to Kekaha, and approved him for settlement, and appointed the Secretary and pastor Kalaiwaa to ordain and install him there the following Sabbath. In view of present pressing needs tbe churches weie asked to make generous offerings to tbe Hawaiian Board for the benefit of the Kohala Girls School. Kona is a charming region to go to and lias as line an outlook and as wholesome air as there is in the world, and Kona is just now very beautiful. The orange, the collee and ohia trees are in their loveliest green and fullest bloom. file traveler rules in coolness along those noble highlands, breathes scented air and looks oil on the vast expanses of land and water. What is needed is a large population and a better conducted industry. The land is there, as rich as can be found, but if there is to be production there must be ready access to the market. And to have this, there must be a great deal more of actual back-salary due him, and road-building. RECORD OF EVENTS.

All on board wen- then well with the ex ception of Mr. Walkup, who was sullei ing from a cold. Capt. Garland reports the three Hawaiian Missionaries, Revs. Lono, Maka and Kanoho, as planning to. return in 1893, and suggests that Dr. Hyde keep his Theological plant running night and day, so that by that date there may be a new supply ol missionaries on hand. Prom Ponape we learn that Consul Rand was received by the Spaniards and was granted an interpreter. He is located at Ihe colony, which is on the north silk- of the island, tbe place which tatbei Doane called Canaan. TheCon sul took lodgings with a tiadei while his house was being built. Prom Ruk We hear that Mrs. Logan and Miss Kinney moved into then new school bouse- last September and thai the work is prosperous. News comes from Huston that Miss Palmer is to return to Kusaie to join Miss Hoppin, and that Miss Little has been gi anted leave ol absence. Shewill probably come up on the Star with Dr. and Mrs. Pease and family. Dr. Smith writes thai "Mrs. Garland sails from New York by the way of the Isthmus of Panama, with her mother, foi San PrarrcisCO, and hopes to reach Honolulu soon aftel the first of May. It is her expectation, as I understand, to go down to Micronesia with her bus band on the coming voyage." The Dr. adds, "only one missionary, as we are now advised, vv ill be lead)' to go down to Micronesia by the Star: Miss Annie E. A bell, who is to join Mrs. Logan and Miss Kinney at Ruk. She is now studying at Oberlin. She understands the arrangements for the year, and expects to sail from San PrancisCO so as to arrive in Honolulu June 2nd." Capt. Garland writes for an ice making machine, which he has seen, one that can at least give them cold water in hot latitudes. Shin.mo, Japan, that he arrived safely, "after fifteen days of pleasant voyaging from Honolulu. * * 1 had sevei al opportunities lo preach the unspeak able love of (iod to the Japanese passen geis while I was on board.

During my Btaj ~t Tokio I called on Mr. Irwin, the Hawaiian Minister, and was treated very kindly indeed. When on the Ttli mat. I returned to my parental home in tbe province of Shinano, the whole village welcomed me so warmly that I have forgotten the coldness of the climate. On the day of my arrival we had a party of 1.'.11 persons. Think of it! I am still very bus) with my visitors from morning to night, and have hardly tune enough lo write as much as I wish.

Mr. Okahe was a fellow voyager to Japan with one Win. Hammond, late ol this city. Rev. E. S. Timoteo, pastor of the church at Waialua, Oahu, has lately made a visit with the people of Wailuku, Maui, and with very good results. The parish was divided into districts and a time of visitation given to each. The get good. The subject will probably come up at the next General meeting. In 1890 the native church at Onomea, Hawaii, gave its pastor leave of indefinite absence on the ground, Ist. of the greatness of their indebtedness to him, 2nd. the smallness of the membership, 3rd. that so many have joined the Mormons. This was the third time the church had dismissed its pastor within about as many years. By the middle of I Mil the church was practically dead. It held no meetings, raised no money and paid no contributions. It was beyond calling a minister. It was then that the Hawaiian Board, unwilling to let the wotJ< utterly fail in this weed grown parish, took it up and placed it in charge of one of the late gradHe uates of tbe Theological Institute. has been there now nearly a _>ear and has called together quite a little congregation. They furnished him with money to buy lumber, mother Rice gave him a kit of tools and he has built himself a parsonage. By this means the prospect lias been somewhat brightened for the natives of Onomea. This hard working pastor is in need of a bed room-set. The Secretary would be glad to be notified if any one has a part or the whole of such a set to spare. Second-hand, inexpensive pieces offur- niture going towards the making of such a set will be thankfully received. The March meeting of the Hawaii Association began this, year at Puako on Friday the 11th inst., and continued till Saturday noon the l'Jth. Ten pastors were present and three were absent All but three of the churches were represented by delegates. The people of Puako, undei the lead of Judge Mahuka, had repaired their little stone meeting-house and dressed the woodwork inside with a fresh cat of paint. A large lanai thatched with cocoanut leaves which had been put up for the occasion in one of the yards, served as a kitchen and dining carried on from morning to of all classes and loom. The meeting, though a short one, and beliefs.

Monthly Business Meeting. There were 15 members present, with Pres. G. P. Castle in the chair. The Treasurer, A. C. Lovekin, reports receipts for the month $fi05.70; disbursements $352.65; leaving a balance on hand of $153.05. The General Secretary, H. W. Peck, reports a meeting of Committees from the various Benevolent Societies here, and also of some of our business men, in the Y. M. C. A. parlors, at which arrangements were made for systematically dealing with distress among the unemployed. The considerable exodus of mechanics and others has caused a falling off in the attendance at our meetings but the interest is still maintained. Over 1,000 newspapers and magazines, and more that 2,000 tracts, leaflets, etc., have been placed aboard the whaling fleet. The Visitation Committee, Chairman J. B. Bid well reports visits to 3 ships, 11 visits to the Hospital, and 13 special sick calls. There is no serious illness at present among any of our members. The Entertainment Committee, Chairman F. J. Lowrey, reports an entertainment on Feb. 23, at which the Hawaiian Camera Club kindly took part, which netted the Association just over $150. Other Committees presented oral reports showing routine work going on ainment consisted of a stereopticon exhibition under the management of Mr. Hedemann and several other members of the Hawaiian Camera Club. Beginning with a fine presentation of the word "Aloha" they took the audience on a journey to most of the leading countries of the world. Many places, long since renowned in history were shown; among these mention should be made of scenes from Rome and the Holy Land. Hawaiian scenery and scenes were also given a prominent place. Some of the scenes representing native Hawaiians caught in grotesque positions by the "Kodak Fiends," caused much amusement. This part of the entertainment which reflected much credit upon those who managed it, was brought to a close by the presentation of that distinctly Hawaiian word "Pau." His Honor. Judge S. li. Dole kindly consented to announce and explain the different views as presented. Mr. F. J. Lowrey, chairman of the Entertainment committee presided during the evening, and had good reason to congratulate himself not only upon the success of the entertainment but also upon being able to hand to the Finance Committee over one hundred and fifty dollars as the net receipts. The following was the program: Instrumental Duet—The Misses Hopper Song—Kamehameha Glee Club. Violin Solo, Ormond Wall. Song, Miss Young. Vocal Duet, Mrs. A. Y. Rice and Mr. Sanford Bennett.

The hall which has a seating capacity of over 300 chairs was crowded, man)' having to stand. This was due not only to sympathy for the Association hut also to the excellence of the entertainment provided by the Entertainment Committee largely through the efforts of its chairman Mr. F. J. Lowrey. The first part of the programme was musical —vocal and instrumental. Some of our best local talent assisted by Mrs. Rice of New York and Mr. Bennett of San Francisco furnished the music. The appreciation of the audience was shown by the hearty applause given at the close of each rendition and by several recalls. The second part of the enterconcert was given in the Y. show a slight decrease, undoubtedly caused by the large emigration of Mechanics and laborers, who as a class so often compose the greater number of the attendants upon our meetings; still, we yet have numbers enough to call for all our most earnest endeavors and zeal in the carrying forward of our meetings, and we trust our brethren will not leave the work to a few willing ones, but sustain us in every possible way.

Death of a Noted Man of the Past. In Cambridge, Mass., January 16th, 1892, in his 98th year, Henry Hill of Braintree. He was born at Newburgh, N. V., Jan. 10, 1795, soon after which date his father's family removed to Catskill. In 1809 he became clerk for Hill & Smith, 100 Wall Street, New York. In 1815 he went as super-cargo to Paris, arriving there just after the battle of Waterloo, and traveled in England as well as on the Continent. In 1817 he went on business to Chili and resided in Valparaiso four years, acting as United States Consul for Valparaiso and Santiago. In 1821 he married Laura Porter, daughter of Rev. David Porter D.D., of Catskill. He was treasurer of the A. B. C. F. M. from 1822 to 1854, for eleven years was a member of its Prudential Committee, and for nine years treasurer of the American Tract Society, Boston. In 1865 he married Miss Rhoda Stetson, of Braintree, who survives him. He leaves three children -Rev. Geo. E. Hill, of Haverhill, Mass.; Richard B. Hill, of Brooklyn, N. V.; and Mrs. Joseph B. Leake, of Chicago. 111. His only sister, Mrs. Eliza Hill, widow of Rev. Rufus Anderson. D.D., preceded him to the better land three years ago. His illness was brief, his mind clear to the last, and his end so peaceful that ••we thought him dying when he slept, and sleeping when he died."—JV. Y. Observer. "It was during the ti easurership of Mr. Hill, that the branch of the American Board of Foreign Missions placed upon the Hawaiian Islands imported a large sum of money which entered into the circulating medium of the country. The cause of this action on the part of the Mission was the high fluctuating price of exchange. This course was initiated some time in the decade of 1830 and continued until 1850. "The price of exchange was rarely as low as seven per cent, usually from ten to twelve per cent, and was liable oftentimes to run up as high as twenty and twenty-five per cent. Connected with and dependent upon the Mission during this period were sometimes over forty, rarely less than that number of families. To avoid the high and shifting price of exchange, silver coin was packed in strong oaken sealed Kegs and sent from Boston by the ships and vessels of C. Brewer & Co's line. "Arrived at Honolulu it was originally iced in the hands of Ladd & Co., and mmanded the customary interest of ! Kingdom, arrangement being agreed by them that they would be prepared make stated payments at stated times experience proved necessary. It was bsequently placed in the hands ot ewer & Co. on the same agreement. by this procedure was reo h minimum of cost, amounting est on the time of the ship's pasvvav of Cape H..,„. which was I Bhange rarely more than six months, or one half year at Massachusetts rates of interest' which is seven per cent, per annum, or three and a halfper cent, cost of exchange. "Probably some if not considerable of this money was in the country until the coinage of the Kalakaua dollar and the smaller coins into which it is divided, and the act of the Legislature debasing foreign silver coinage other than American swept it out of the Kingdom. Mr. Hill resigned the treasurership of the American Board of Missions and the American Tract Society, Boston, when he reached the age of seventy years, giving as a reason, the quotation from the Psalm of David respecting the age allotted to humanity. He has been succeeded by James M. Gordon Esq., and by the present Treasurer Langdon S. Ward Esq. of Boston." The above is communicated by a friend. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were greatly beloved here in the old days, for their warm hospitality to the missionaries when at Boston, as well as for the faithful Treasurer's attention to their orders for supplies.
