Information About the Hawaiian Islands. CONTENTS Far March, " n THE FRIEND. MARCH 1, 1873. “Nuhou.”—“ The Hawaiian Times.” This is the name of a Semi-weekly sheet, which made its appearance in Honolulu, on the 25th ult.,edited and published by W. M. Gibson, Esq., but printed at theAdvertiser office. The first number would indicate that the editor has some pretty positive ideas about various subjects relating to the islands, but as yet he hardly knows whether it is best to divulge them or not. We opine, as the paper progresses, this reserve will wear ofl", and we shall learn, in a few weeks, what the editor thinks about immigration, annexation, and various other subjects. We shall expect the nimble and facile pen of the editor will jot down many suggestive thoughts in a most agreeable style. We shall confidently expect to have a most readable sheet. The editor will never give utterance to the lamentations, " no news," " how shall we fill our columns?" etc. Times may be dull, but we shall look to the Semi-weekly for a live paper. Any man who could sit down fortytwo consecutive days," and beguile the weary hours of a long sea-voyage, from the* East Indies to America, in rehearsing the story of his rambles to his fellow-passengers, has some good traits for an editor, in a part of the world where we get, atmost, only a semimonthly mail from the great outside world. " the King," or some other cause, has awakened among the people of the United States a desire to become better acqnainted with the condition of our Islands. We publish, in another column, a list of " The death of "thirty-six," and more, questions, nddressed to us by a citizen of Illinois. We hope some of the numerous correspondents of newspapers, visiting our islands, will furnish reliable information upon all the points suggested. We think in this way they might subserve the interests of the reading public far more usefully and satisfactorily than by writing such nonsense, absurdity and foolishness as appear, from time to time, in some of the San Francisco papers, about the islands, and the people residing here. If persons desire information about the material and commercial interests of our islands, we would suggest that they subscribe for one or both of our Honolulu weekly papers; if they desire historical information send to H. M. Whitney for a copy of Jarves' History; if they desire missionary and religious intelligence, read over files of the Missionary Herald, Dr. Anderson's book, or the Feiend. We should be glad to receive remittances for subscription to The Friend, in two-cent D. S. postage stamps, 82.50 per annum, including postage.

The above title page indicates the characof the little volume which we received by a late mail from the author. The writer, in this volume of 113 pages, endeavors to sketch the life and labors of one who was " led by a way that he knew not." At one time a profligate soldier in the British army, at another an abandoned sailor on board an American man-of-war, and subsequently, a lay Missionary of great success and usefulness, in New York city and Ireland. His career is so remarkable as to merit a narrative. It is most remarkable how God, in his wonderworking Providence, does bring some men to the knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus. conversion are, Instances of now occurring as remarkable as any upon the records of the past. These marked examples, as clearly illustrate the operation of the grace of God upon tbe human heart, as do those examples which are recorded in the Old and New Testament Scriptures. Without additional introductory remarks, we shall re-print, entire, the first chapter of this little book, because therein is unfolded the nature of the important change effected in the young man's life, by the reading of the Bible. We would merely add, that he died in the city of New York, March 23d, 1867, at the age of forty-nine. The period of his Missionary labors was just eleven years, from his conversion at sea, in 1556, on board the U. S. S.

John Byrne, was born in Killarney, near Ihe lakes of Killarney, in the south of Ireland, in 1818. His parents were Edward Byrne, of Scotch descent,—a man of commanding appearance, for several years church-warden of the parish, superintendent ofthe county prison, and janitor of the court, —and Ann O'Sullivan Byrne, said to have been a distant relation to Daniel O'Connell. Their eleven children, of whom John was the youngest, were religiously brought up in the faith of the Church ol England, and their family piety was much like that described by the poet Burns, in his Cotter's Saturday " Night,"—the Saturday preparation leaving no secular cares to interfere with the sacred duties of the Lord's day. t" " The cheerfu' aupper done, nf serious face, They round the ingle form a circle wide.

So thorough was this instruction (says one of the daughters), that for years after'she rem-mberafc'place and connection of could m almost any passage of Scripture. As John grew up he became a favorite with soldiers stationed at Killarney, who were sometimes at his father's house. The music, songs, parades, and apparent joyousness of a soldier's life were very captivating to a boy of his temperament. His father endeavored earnestly to discourage these inclinations, but John persisted, and at last ran from home, made his way to Dublin, and enlisted in the army. His father bought him offand brought him home, where he remained for a time, assisting his father in the prison accounts, and was commended for their neatness and accuracy. But his desire for military life was incurable. He ran again from home the second time, and was bought off, and at last a third time, when he was left to the bent of his disposition, and the protecting care of Providence. He never saw his parents after this. His mother's funeral, and his father's, a few years later, were largely attended; even Roman Catholic families sending their carriages, according to the of the country, as a mark of respect, d the poor mourning the loss of sympathizt friends and benefactors.

' �up of God, he was led to visit the Seamen's Chapel, and, to his surprise, heard this text announced: "How can I give thee up?" It seemed the voice of God to himself. while the man of God " I wept like showed the loveflkr kind heavenly Father, and his long .uneTTng towards sinners, and was almost resolved to go to Him at once and give up all for His service." In February, 1864, he entered the navy, and in July following sailed for the Pacific. out from Rio Janeiro we were " Four days overtaken by a storm. The waves rose mountain high, the thunders rolled, and the lightnings played. In the twinkling of an eye our mizzen-mast went by the board, and shortly afterwards our main-mast. The signal gun proclaimed distress. Terror was in every countenance. But these things did not trouble me; my past sins rushed up before me. God's gracious Spirit resisted—His long-suffering provoked—well; I'm damned forever, and justly too. The Lord called and I would not obey. My sainted father's last prayer came up to my view, and I saw his raised hands praying, even in death, for his wandering child. I cried to God for Jesus' sake to save me. We were delivered from death." After this—bodily affliction. " I was seized with inflammatory rheumatism which deprived me of the use of my hands and my feet, and so racked my whole body with pain that I often wept as I lay on the deck. I continued in this state for ten months." At Honolulu he had a very narrow escape, having fallen, while intoxicated, over a spare mast near the gangway of the ship. "I would certainly have been killed had not one of the men seized hold of me. My poor father's last prayer for me came more forcibly to my mind than ever, and as 1 leaned over the side of the ship, I wept where none could see me but He who despisath not the tears of the contrite." At the Sandwich Islands Rev. Mr. Damon came on board. " 1 asked him for a Testament. The more I read the more I felt condemned. I roamed about the deck. I could not sit nor remain five minutes in one place. 1 made my case known to a very moral young man on board. He replied, 'you must not give way so. Pray a little in the morning and at night; so come, John, cheer up, and help us sing Poor Dog Tray.' O.said I, shipmate, Poor Dog Tray can't give me any comfort now; the arrows of the Almighty are fast within me, and unless He restores my soul nothing else can." But after the fere a still small voice. " I read the third chapter of John, 16th verse: so loved the world the He gave His • Godbegotten Son, that whosoever believeth only in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Does that include me ? Yes, I thought whosoever means me. I will venture on this love. I went by the main-mast, in the middle watch of the night, and on my knees I earnestly pleaded "the promises of God. 1 found pardon and grace. What joy filled my soul. I leaned over the anchor at the ship's side,and having got a little hymnbook from one of the crew, I sang to myself those beautiful lines— "My Cod la reconciled. His iwrdunißg voise I hear. He owns me for a child; 1 will no longer fear." From that hour his path was upward His sincerity was at once severely tested. He was greatly abused, by wicked shipmates, with derisive epithets and bodily injuries. Wherever I went I met with mockery and" scorn. One night my hammock was cut down and I fell across a large chest." One evening while on watch, he overheard the following: "Itisof no use to bother John Byrne any more. My father was a Christian, and John has got the genuine thing, and you can't drive it out of him." After that, persecution ceased. They listened to his appeals. " A young man, the son of a praying mother, came to me four days after and said he felt himself to be a wretched sinner. Soon we were in prayer together, and after some days of sorrow and anguish, the Lord removed the burden from his soul. I never saw so happy a young man. Never shall I forget that night when, under the bow of the launch, we knelt together and gave ourselves away to Him that loved us." He met this young man a few years afterwards in Great Britain, then a student for the ministry. Four other' cases of apparent conversion occurred on the voyage through his efforts. On reaching New York he took lodgings at the Sailors' Home in Cherry street, and there talked and prayed with sailors every day in his own room. Blessed be God, He blessed " He makes up his jewels, me there. When many a dear sailor will look back with delight to that little room." This was about ten months from his conversion, in March, 1856. Surely his father's prayer had been wondrously answered. "God's own right hand, and His holy arm, had gotten Himself the Victory." Why Did Stanley Seek for Dr. Living- stone? The question has often been asked why Mr, Bennett should have sent Stanley to search for Dr. Livingstone? In conversation with an English gentlemen, a few days since, he informed us that the elder Bennett, now dead, was a school-mate of Dr. Livingstone, in their youthful days, in Scotland. This fact we do not remember to have seen stated in any English or American newspaper. This gentleman, who has published a newspaper in New Zealand, is quite confident of the truthfulness of his statement, for he asserts that in his own paper he has published the statement, copied from a Scottish paper. If any of our readers have fallen upon this account, they will confer a favor by forwarding the same to the office of the Friend. The following paragraphs are copied from Mr. Stanley's new Book, entitled, " How I found Dr. Livingstone : Now, Doctor," -said I, " you arc probably," wondering why I came here t" said he ; I have been won" It is true," 1 thought you, at" first, an emissary dering. of the French Government, in the place of Lieut.

A Boston " Kd Hono- " ' jj Hvil-opment. m the following paragraphs from (ho Christian Union of January Bth : " When the National Sunday School Convention assembled at Indianapolis in April last, the public pressure on it was strong for a completer and more systematic series of Bible lessons, on which the whole country could unite. After full discussion the proposed action was decided on by a vote of ten to one, and a committee of five ministers and live laymen was selected to arrange a schedule of lessons with a view to a seven years' course of study. That committee included such ministers as Key. Drs. J. H. Vincent, John Hall, Warren Randolph, Richard Newton and A. H. Chapin, with laymen to match. Canadian brethren, who were at the Indianapolis Convention, asked that their Dominion might be included in the plan,and two members from Canada were added to the Lesson American Relief Fund.

The London Sunday School Union had already arranged another plan for 1873 when this schedule was presented; but that Society, with its schools, proposes to join in the great movement with the opening of 1574. And now, as the year 1873 begins its course, more persons are week by week engaged in the study of the same Bible passage than ever before since the world began. And more helps are available for such study than ever before. The union committee which selected the lessons furnish no comments on them. They merely name the Bible passages for common study. But the several denominations multiply notes and comments on these passages, and undenominational notes are quite as abundant. Some of the best minds in the Church are devoted to the elucidation, enforcement and illustration of these lessons for the current year."

Tribune.”—This is the title of a neat weekly paper, published in California, by Thomas McGeojge, Esq., formerly a printer in Honolulu. “Calistoga �An Appeal from the Y. M. C. A. of Boston to the People of Honolulu. By the last mail we received a communication from G. D. Oilman, Esq., who will be remembered by all the older foreign residents in Honolulu. It is in behalf of the Y. M. C. A.of Boston, to enable that association to pay off a debt on their institution. The great fire has crippled the benevolent of that city of charities. We copy as follows i " You will doubtless see in our Boston papers some account of the new enterprise of the Boston Y. M. C. Association, to pay off the debt on their Home. "It has occurred to me that your people, who are always so generous in assisting every worthy object, might, on a proper representation, be induced to contribute something to the ' Bazar.' Anything that would represent Island life would be valuable. I know that 'curiosities' are scarcer with you than with us; still, as I remember Honolulu, there might be gotten up a collection of calabashes, kapa, mats, calabash-net, 'inamaka' or carrying-stick, bunch of native twine for thatching, fish-line, native women's ornaments, ' ukeke,' the wooden bow, the noseflute, &c„ &c„ in fact anything that would attract attention. A box of corals would sell well, if good specimens. " It seems to me that this is an object far above the ' French Fair,' at which the ' Sandwich Islands' table was quite a feature. I have offered my time lor it, and would like to have a helping-hand from old friends at the Islands whose heart's are interested in the great Master's work." We would give notice that a box will be open at the office of S. B. Dole, Esq., who will be responsible for all articles forwarded, and see that they are duly sent forward to Boston. Visit of the King to Hilo.—One of our Hilo correspondents thus writes us respecting the visit of the King to Hilo : " The King is here. He received the natives yesterday, and it was truly delightful to witness the affability which he showed them, as they came in rotation to shake his hand. It is quite apparent that they love him. He is very simple and dignified in his manner. The foreigners are all greatly pleased with him. He attended church twice on the Sabbath. In the morning he attended service in Mr. Coan's church, and in (he evening the foreign church." James E. Chase, recently from Kohala, Hawaii, and formerly a seaman, may hear something to his welfare by calling upon the Chaplain. We would acknowledge the “Second Annual Keport of the Samoan Medical Mission," under the care of (J. A. Turner, M. D., 1873.

Bishop Staley on Our Situation.—The late Bishop of Honolulu gives some interesting information as to the succession lo the kingdom of the Sandwich Islands, vacant by the death of the last of the Kamehamehas: " The difficulty," the Bishop thinks, " will be for the Assembly to find a native ruler who may, like the Kamehamehas, cause the Monarchy to be respected alike by foreigner and Hawaiian, and who may be viewed, not as the nominee of a party, but of the little nation as a whole (the present population is only 53,000). Should this difficulty prove insurmountable, the Assembly may still proclaim the Hawaiian Independent Republic, and choose some intelligent white citizen as President. But it should be borne in mind that even now the American missionary exercises overwhelming social, if not political, influence in his particular district, and the sixty members of the Legislative Assembly, or at least a majority of them, may, when they meet on the Bth of January, find themselves pledged in favor of a reversion to the democratic regime of 1852, with annexation to the United States, whence they have mainly drawn their trade, their civilization, and their Christianity."—English paper. “Japj Oaye.”—(or the word Carrier.) This is the name of a neatly printed monthly sheet, in the language of the Dacotah In' dians. It is published under the auspices of the Presbyterian and Congregational Missionaries. We are glad to learn, from a part of the sheet, printed in English, that the Mission is prospering. The venerable Missionary, Rev. Mr. Riggs (author of the Grammar and Dictionary, published by the Smithsonian Institute), is still alive.

These theatres were his many literary pursuits, and casting over semi circular in shape, and had seats rising the ancient models that luxuriant charm, entier on tier, capable of accommodating thou- veloping every deed and thought of those sands. They were open to the sky, and, as sunny days of Spain. the exhibitions took place in the day time, England, France and Italy, each claim to nature furnished the light, and the audience have been the first to revive the Drama ; but could, by the contemplation of the wonderful to whichever belongs the palm, certain it is •works of creation, nowhere more beautiful that Spain furnished the model. than in Greece, be the more impressed by the Religion is again the theme, the Catholic sublime truths taught. In such an one all Athens used to assemble, and sit through sun and rain, so engrossed in listening to the teachings of the chorus, that they were unmoved by any external matters, even news of disaster and defeat to their armies. I have mentioned the chorus. This formed tbe principal part of the actors in the ear- God and the angels, the middle the home nf man, and the lower symbolizing the yawning gulf of hell. The subjects of the plays are taken from the Bible, and all the prominent tales, such as the creation, the deluge, the offering of Isaac, are brought as vividly as possible before the people, and thus the public mind is impressed. Lest the audience should tire of the actions ol God and men, Satan and his angels are brought upon the stage ; and he is not the Satan of Milton, beautiful in his mighty wickedness, but the genuine devil of our childhood's imagination, with his two horns and his toil, looking the very fiend. How, some may ask, could man be influenced by such plays as these? You must remember that society was not then as now. Men were reduced to a state of servitude. They could not be influenced by feelings of patriotism, for they had no country to love ; nor could family ties be aroused, for they could not call their wives and their children their own. Ignorance reigned, and it was the credulity of uncultivated minds that the mysteries administered to ; and the pomp and dazzling show of the displays were well fitted to work upon such an audience. The church found these a source of great revenue, and others were led to exhibit plays of a nature not strictly religious. Hence arose the Moralities, and Virtue, Justice, Purity, &c, supplied the place of religious characters. But Satan was too valuable an assistant to be removed. These plays were of a comic nature, the plot turning upon some ludicrous scene fitted to excite merriment in the minds of the rustic assemblages. They were performed by dramatic authors who formed a stock company and journeyed about, acting in the houses of the nobility or on stages hastily erected in the yards of inns. Sometimes they exhibited in one of the many buildings used for theatrical displays in London. These were of the poorest description, only the stage being covered : and the scenery was of the coarsest kind, consisting ofroughly painted pieces of canyas, so hung as to suggest a forest, a street, or a house. A placard told where the scene occurred ; a table with bottles and glasses bespoke an inn ; a scaffold in the rear suggested tbe wall of a city; and like rude means were employed constantly. Awkward as seem these appurtenances to us, they were in keeping with the times. The people did not notice that an ancient senator wore a watch, or carried a modern sword, for they were too much engrossed in watching the development of the play. Little attention was paid by the English authors of that day to the unities of time, place and action, so insisted on by Comeille and the French authors. Such was the English stage when that archurch the instrument, and the cause,—that the people may, by displays and shows, be- ray of talent came upon it which has cast come more closely wedded to the faith. All about the reign of Elizabeth a halo brightencountries possess these old mysteries, as they ing every day. were called, and we shall speak only of those Any of these authors would be eminent by himself; but all seem overshadowed by the in England. The churches are the theatres, the priests greatest dramatist, and to reflect, as it were, the actors. The stage is divided into three the light of the central figure of the age, parts, the upper representing the abode of William Shakespeare. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Dr. Gathrie.—Much space in the late papers is devoted to the character and death of this Divine so wellknown throughout the Christian world. The Queen of England and herdaug hterin Germany were among the sympathizing friends, who sent words of kind solicitude, during his illness. His Gospel in Ezekiel," on its first " publication gave him a world-witle reputalion. In Scotland, his sympathy for the to the hearts of all good poor �*»" people. „ Death of Bishop Mcllvaine of Ohio.— The American papers report the death of this distinguished American Divine, who has for so many years, occupied a prominent position in the Episcopal Church, and was much esteemed among Christians of other denominations. He was &t one time Chaplain at West Point, and after two years' service was removed or resigned. It has been reported that his resignation was occasioned by the fact that his labors were not approved of at Washington, in as much as several cadets turned their attention to the Christian ministry instead of a position in the Army. Among the number was Bishop Polk, who subsequently became a General in the Confederate Army,and was killed in Georgia. Bishop Mcllvaine's death occurred at Florence, in Italy. On his death bed the following hymns were highly prized by the dying Bishop: " Just as I am," " Rock of Ages," and " Jesus, Lover of my soul," 33 ,«ft Series, 001. 3-0 Donation.—From Capt.

The interesting circumstances of the landing of Ihe first press in the Gilbert Islands in November 1863, and the providential providing of a ship-wrecked printer who had sailed six hundred miles in an open boat to reach that group will long be remembered by the mission there. While we were in the United States, in 1866, Matthew, John nnd Ephesians were reprintedd at the Bible House in New York in an edition of 1,000 copies and formed a part of the cargo of the Morning Star No. 2, around Cape Horn. For the purpose of confirming my health I continued in command ol the vessel fourteen months, and did not resume literary work for the Gilbert Islands, until 1868,and this was the revising and enlarging our hymn-book. In June of 1868, we printed extracts from the gospel of Luke, which we took with us that same year to the Gilbert Islands. In January 19,1869, after our return from a missionary visit to our group, I entered upon the revision of the first three quarters of the Testament. Acts was printed at the Government press. Next followed Mark, printed by Mr. Black, in Rhodes' building. These portions we were to send by . Rev. J. F. Pogue, Delegate ofthe*Board, in July 8, 1869, in the Morning Star, to the Gilbert Islands, as our own health did not permit of a visit that year. Luke was printed in October 1869 by Mr. Whitney, and was sent to the Gilbert Islands by the Annie Porter, about the first of March, 1870. Early in that year Romans was revised. It was printed in April, and taken with us to the Gilbert Islands on board the U. S. S. Jamestown, Capt. Truxtun., These four books were revised with the aid of John Kanimako, one of the early converts on Apaiang, now gone to his rest. We returned to Honolulu on the schooner Annie in October 1870,and on November 9,1 commenced with the aid of Joseph Ekeuea to revise the translation of Ist and 2nd Corinthians, Galatians, Matthew, John and Ephesians. In June 1871, these had been printed, and five hundred copies were bound with previous portions, and thus we had the first three quarters of the New Testament, con- . �THK FRIEND, MAY, 35 1873. tamed in a single volume.

Edited by a Committee of the Y.M.C.A. The annual meeting of the association was held on Friday evening, April 18th, at the house of Mr. P., C. Jones, Jr. After general business had been transacted, the usual annual reports were made and permission was given for their publication in suitable form in these columns. The retiring officers were Mr. T. K. Walker, President; Mr. S. B. Dole, VicePresident; Mr. S. M. Damon, Treasurer; nnd Mr. W. W. Hall, Secretary. The President and Treasurer were re-appointed tor the ensuing year; Mr. P. C. Jones, Jr., was elected Vice-President, nnd Mr. Charles M. Cooke, Secretary. By the kind invitation of their good host and hostess, (the former of whom was at the time absent from the islands,) a numerous company was entertained at supper after the close of the meeting. SecrtaR y's eport. J differing an attendance varying from twelve to twenty scholars. A number of copies of; the Gospels have been obtained by Mr. J. B. Athcrton for the use of this school, the translation being into the dialect spoken by most Chinamen here; and correspondence is being held with a view to ascertaining whether other Chinese books can be obtained in furtherance of the objects of the school. The management of the school is vested in a committee, of which Mr. S. B. Dole is chairman. A literary entertainment was given on June 6th, when Mr. George Pauncefort read from Dickens, Biid a very tasteful musical programme was pro«Jfed by the kindness of a fair pianist. Beyond this, the Committee on Entertainments has considered that no suitable opportunity has occurred for action on their part. The committee, which can act without recourse to regular meetings of the association, consists of His Ex. A. F. Judd, Mr. S. B. Dole, and the Mr. T. R. During the past year, the association has held nine regular meetings ■ no quorum was lound in the months of August and September, and in January it was decided by agreement among the members that no meeting should be held, local attention being then very much occupied by political affairs. Due notice having been given at the previous meeting, it was proposed and reseolved in December that the last clause of Article 6 of the Constitution should read as follows : Five of the members of the asso" ciation shall constitute a quorum." A number of essays have been read before the association during the year; in May Mr. S. B. Dole presented a paper on the question, How far is character the " result of circumstances;" in June, Mr. VV. W. Hall suggested "Considerations on Sabbath observance in Honolulu"; in December, Mr. P. C. Jones, Jr., addressed to the meeting a paper on Opium"; and in February " Mr, W\ H. Chickering reviewed the history and nature of the Drama." Several of " these essays have been printed in that portion of the JFYiend which is devoted to the association. The Reading Room has been much frequented by sailors, as well as by landsmen, especially during the visit of men-of-war to Honolulu. About thirty periodicals are regularly placed upon the table. The Reading Room is under the direction of a committee, of which Mr. C. J. Lyons is chairman.

For four years we have been thus allied; and, though at our earlier meetings some diffidence may have been felt as to the feasibility of retaining our unitedness without more minute personal agreement in shades of opinion,.we find ourselves more and more satisfied as to the fact that with one common Christian object we may work together harmoniously. The objects kept in view by this associaciation have been those laid down in the preamble of our constitution, namely, " the religious, moral and social improvement of ourselves and others."

Silver Wedding.—There was a very pleasant gathering on the evening of May 29th, of friends and neighbors, at the residence of Rev. J. P. Pogue, to congratulate this gentleman and his wife, on the 25th anniversary of their marriage. We appreciate the contribution to our columns from the portfolio of the poet, Stoddard, and if hereafter in looking over materials on hand, he finds additional poetical effusions they will always find a place in our columns. The 21st anniversary of the Stranger's Friend Society waa hold on Friday last, at the residence of the President of the Society, Mrs. S. C. Damon, at whioh tho reports of the Secretary and Treasurer were presented, and other business transacted. The receipts for the year past were 8468, and the expenditures $429. Tho Secretary reported that fifteen persons or families had received relief, mostly strangers in needy circumstances, who have no claim on tbe American, English, or German benevolent societies. In the evening His Majesty the King honored the ladies of the Society with his presence, thns evincing an interest in the objects for whioh it was instituted.— Gazette, May 22. The Stranger's Friend Society has now attained its " majority," having been organized in 1852. During the 21 years of its existence, its receipts have been $11,293.37; expenditures from 1552 to 1873, 18,750.22; the Society has a fund of 52.000. It occupies a field of usefulness and great importance in our foreign islnnd community so peculiarly organized. Lahaina. {tslosmts,M3v BY CHAS. WARREN STODDARD.

Miss Smilcy's •he Im " s. now acknowledged position in the van of tinworld's workers has proven to us all that if any woman feels the call God sent to prca,.li to iiicji and women the " unsearchable riches "' of Christ, no one has henceforth the power to prevent the fullest, freest, most public utterance of the same. Her early home was in one of the quiet country towns of Vermont, if we mistake not, from which she early went out on the mission tn which she has devoted her life. She lias labored with success in England, during which time she wns herself strengthened for the work which lay before her in America. In the Eastern cities crowded bouses have greeted the quiet Quakeress wherever she has spoken. Such a tremendous furore as this little woman created, quite against her will, when she first appeared tn the religious circles of New York and Brooklyn ! Poor Dr. Cuyler was arraigned before a very stern synod to answer " Guilty or not guilty," to the terrible charge of having allowed a woman to speak to his people lovingly, tenderly as only a woman can speak of the Divine Love and Tenderness. All this might undoubtedly have been very canonical, but canons and Snint Paul even were forced to yield to a higher right and justice. Then again the good Baptists throughout the country were horrified because one of their number, Mr. Pentecost, of Brooklyn, was brave and true enough to do what he thought was right in immersing a Quakeress. The columns of the religious papers blazed with notices of Miss Smiley and the unfortunate Mr. Pentecost. Not a whit disturbed by this, however, she has gone here and there winning the hearts of the people, gaining power. We were rejoiced to hear that she was coming to Boston. Every one went to hear Miss Smiley and every one came away with something to remember and ponder. Night after night she spoke, now in Boston, now in the suburbs, always thrilling' her listeners by the wealth and power of her words. There were prayer-meetings and bible-classes where she spoke. There was ever the same eager, expectant throng. We heard her at one of her evening discourses in a beautiful, new church on Columbus Avenue. After the opening exercises which were conducted by the pastor and a hymn in which all the people joined, Miss Smiley came forward. You felt the magnetism of her power before she spoke as she stood before you, simply dressed, seemingly unconscious of all else but her grand theme, and of those who were waiting for its unfolding. Her face and eyes had in them the promise of the words which were to come, earnest, pleading, tearful even, yet full of the glory which the vision of �THE FRIEND, JIIS E, hands folded before her, and spoke in low tones, but with such clear flutc-liku distinctness that not a word was lost, no listener was forgotten. It was not a sermon with text ffnd beads to which we listened, but a grand summing up in a proud, triumphant way of the struggle and victory of the Christian as portrayed in the seventh and eighth chapters ofRoman*. It was a call to all who knew of Christ to be no longer bond but free; to enter into a higher, nobler life, to join in the paean of Christian conquest. There was life and hope for all; none need despair. The infinite love and rest awaited them. Would they take this Saviour now risen, crowned, glorified? Through simple wording and qunint illustration with a pathos in voice and coloring which bespoke the womanly Christian heart beneath, came the lesson of comfort and cheer. Miss Smiley's especial power lies in the force and vividness of her illustrations by means of which she flashes the wealth of her meaning on you in a few powerful pictures. Advance in the Christian life with a look back to the world was pictured from its analogy to the Scottish fishermen, who wearily rowed all night with anchor still out. The gray of the morning found them no nearer the haven.

Our weary * • The Nation's Wards. , JUNK, 18.3. in Cherry street gave me an opportunity of witnessing the order and despatch with which the business of shipping and discharging men is conducted, the routine of which, for want of space, I will not attempt now to describe. This buildinpr, as I entered, was filled with sailors. A perfect stream of men was ascending and descending the stairways leading from the offices of the Commissioner, which occupy the whole of the upper story of the Exchange. The rooms above aujktelow were crowded. In the readingCHi many were engaged reading the some forty of which were on file, playing chess, drafts and dominoes, reading the magazines on the tables and the volumes in the library; others were spinning yarns and making themselves generally at home ; while some were amusing themselves with ten pins in the bowling alley below. In the shipping office above, the crowds were surging to and fro, outward-bounders and liomcward-bouudcrs jostling each other with easy freedom, each apparently content and pleasingly unenvious of their oppositely conditioned circumstances. 1 learned from the janitor that the crowds of seamen frequenting the Exchange averaged about 800 a day, and he stated further that of all that large number of sailor visitors—to their credit be it spoken—he had found it necessary to expel but two men in six months on account of intemperance and disorder. Can the. Corn or Stock Exchange say more than this? More than 5,000 seamen have voluntarily registered their names in the book kept for that purpose in the reading room. The number shipped, according to the Commissioner's report, in less than six months, was 10,541,and the number discharged 7,785. The sum of $384,241.82 have, in that time, been paid into the hands of the seamen themselves, much of which has found its way into the Savings Bank on the premises. Eight hundred and forty-seven dollars and fifty-six cents, due to deceased seamen's families, have been collected and paid into court, where it may be claimed by the legal heirs. Are these not evidences of the practical and beneficent workings of this protecting law ? whom he has selected. Making his own engagements in person, he sees the men with whom ho is to sail, and on whom he is to depend for the safety of his life, his vessel and his cargo during the voyage. The captain and officers are further protected. In all cases of disobedience or of mutinous conduct on the part of the men, in every instance in which a man shipping as an able seaman, or in any capacity, is found incompetent to perform the duties for which he shipped, the Commissioner is empowered to punish by deduction of wages, or, in some cases, by entire forfeiture. If the case cannot be settled by him, it goes over to the Circuit Court as a civil case. But when a settlement of the case is procured before the Commissioner—both parties consenting to his conduct of the case—from his decision there is no appeal. Hence, here, too, litigution and expense are avoided. The Commissioner states in his report to the Circuit Court, that no small part of tho Commissioner's time is spent in settling matters at issue between seamen and shipmasters and officers; this work, which is done without fees, seems to give general satisfaction, and certainly has the effect of correcting many wrongs, and of avoiding many vexatious law fuits." The law, therefore, is for the mutual benefit of both the officers and the crew, and if not interfered with, will work incalculable good to all the parties concerned, ond relieve a life of sea service from many of its vexatious and trying discomforts, by securing fair play on both sides. As an example of the despatch with business is conducted, it may be slated that ordinarily a ship going a good voyage can be supplied with a crew of thirty men, anil all of them put on board, wiih their dunnage, and their advance paid, within two hours from the time of applicsejbi being made, Within a few days, a crew was shipped for a vessel and put on board, ready for sea, in half an hour from the time the Commissioner was notified of her need. In one instance a ship, with a notoriously bad name, applied for a crew. Thirty-seven men were shipped and put on board sober, of which number, notwithstanding the reputation of the ship, only one backed out. As an illustratioa of the moral effect of this law, I am informed that of more than 12,000 seamen put on board by the Commissioner in seven months, not ten men have been refused on account of drunkenness. To those of us who remember the drunken scenes of the sailing- day in former times, this is an evidence of positive gain, aud yet this is but an incidental effect of the law. Let not the philanthropists pause iv their labor of love. The cause is God's, and must go forward in spite of chicanery and in spite of opposition. A class of men, around whom have clustered the promises of God, and whose importance ami efficiency in the work ol evangelizing the nations has been the theme of prophecy and the hope of the church for three thousand years is not, at this late day, to be abandoned iv consequence of the opposition of a few, to whom "gain is godliness," and whose only hope of success is based upon their hitherto ineffectual efforts to arrest the onward march of benevolence by clogging the chariot wheels of Divine In an address delivered at the forty-fourth anniversary of the American Seamen's Friend Society-, in May last, Judge Benedict said, and said truly, "No one knows the sailor unless he has been before the mast himself, and lived in the forcastle." dfrf one who answers to this description, airaatrr) whom a life of many years in the forcastle has given a practical knowledge of the sailor, his trials and perils, his difficulties and discomforts, his advantages and disadvantages, both at sea and ashore, I would say a word in behalf of my quondam companions—a word which very many of them, could they but handle the pen as readily and as skillfully as they can handle the marlinspike and the serving-mallet, would be glad to say for themselves. I desire, first, to give expression to the gratitude which the American Seamen's Friend Society has awakened among seamen by its benevolent and long continued activity in their favor, and to tender their grateful acknowledgements to those noble and disinterested men to whom we are indebted for the passage through Congress of (he United States Shipping Law. In that instrument the nation has at last assumed, practically, a guardianship over those who have long been considered its wards," but to whom its "tender mercies " "hitherto have won the aspect onry of cruel neglect. I desire also, at the same time, to say a word about the law itself. I am moved to ask this favor for the reason that mistaken views, both of its intent ■• #. *. and of its workings, have taken possession • i of many minds, and we owe it to them that Under this law the captain or owner pays two dollars for shipping and fifty cents for they be disabused. The chief mistake as to the intents of discharging, and in each case deducts twenty" the law for the appointment of Shipping five cents of that amount from the sailor.

JULY 1, 18T3. “Good Reading in Dull Times.” Under this ''heading," in the August number of the Friend for 1872, we made some remarks respecting Forster'sLife of C. Dickens. A second volume of Dickens' Life has just made its appearance, embracing the period from 1842 to 1852. The first volume included the narrative of his firstvisit to America. Tbe second volume embraces sketches of his visits and residence in Italy and Switzerland, and " three months in Paris." During this period of his life he was occupied in writing Martin Chuzzle" witt," "Christmas Carol,". Dowbey and Sore," and David Copperfield." The ad" miring readers of those volumes will be delighted with the perusal of this volume inasmuch as it will exhibit the origin and growth of those works of fiction in their author's fertile brain. We regard this as the main feature in Forster's life of Dickens. In reading this life of Dickens, by John Forster, we are continually reminded of Boswcll's Life of Johnson. Macaulay describes Boswell as a sort of Parasite attaching himself to Johnson, and during a period of twenty years, noting down every word dropping from his great master's lips, and gathering up every incident relating to the great lexicographer and essayist. As a biographer Boswell was unequaled, but yet was the veriest toady and snob. Says Macaulay, " Boswell was one of the smallest men that ever lived, and be has beaten them all." He is the prince of biographers, but never would have been known to tame if he had not attached himself to Johnson. We think it so with Mr. Forster. He is another Boswell, as nearly as one man could be to another. Dickens is his idol. Before that idol he lies prostrate. Perhaps it is a necessary feature of a successful biographer that he should adore the man whose life he describes. These volumes of Mr. Forster are good reading for dull times," and every "reader ofDickens ought to be a reader of these volumes, which will be found for sale at Thrum's Bookstore. H. B. M.’s S. S.

A book of travel, adventure and faota in the Sandwich Islands By William B. Bliss, New York : Sheldon & Co. 1878. Paradise Recently a copy of the new Illustrated Daily—The Graphic— published in New York, fell under our notice. It contained portraits of a good dozen murderers now confined in the Tombs. On the principle Mr. Bliss adopts in writing this book, we infer, New York city must be a most fearfully unsafe place for a residence. The writer observes one fact and from that draws general conclusions. In order to escape from that orid " city of New York, and a Northern "winter, he sails away and finally drops anchor in Honolulu harbor. In his preface, to apologize for the small size of his volume, he remarks, but so is the country and so are " the people of which it treats, while it is really larger than the importance of that country to any possible future of commerce or civilization." This is quite too "bad, to take away from the inhabitants any hope of future greatness and importance. We need not remind the writer that a limited territory and sparse population are not an insuperable obstacle to fame and gTeatness. Greece and Palestine are territorially small and comparatively meagre in population, but for two or three thousand years have called forth more books than all the world beside. Our little pinhead kingdom, (epithet not original with Mr. Bliss,) as Edward Everett was pleased to style the Hawaiian Kingdom, may be small, but for a half century, and more, it has managed to call forth many books and pamphlets, as appears from Mr. HunneweU's " Bibliography," and we opine this book pf Mr. Bliss is not by any means the last which will be written. We had supposed that our islands were geographically situated somewhat favorably for the interests of commerce in this vast ocean, but, according to our author, they actually " lie remote from the track of all commercial ships, except those carrying coals �50 THE KRlfiM), JULY, 187 S. from Australia and California, and those rising far above the valleys, are softened by rarely pass within sight of the islands."

The Wreck of the “Chacabuco.” We have received from Alexander Balfour, Esq., of Liverpool, a partner in the house of Balfour, Williamson & Co., two circularprinted letters, relating to the sad wreck of the C'hacabuco. These letters need no words of explanation. Their contents indicate the deep and abiding interest which Mr. Balfour feels for seamen in general, as well as in behalf of the unfortunate crew of the Chacabuco. Not only has Mr. B.s sympathy expressed itself in words, but the establishment of the Home for Apprentices," " 151 Duke street, Liverpool, is a standing monument of his own interest, and that of the firm to which he belongs, in behalf of those " going down to the sea in ships," and who are exposed to the fearful dangers of the ocean : Liverpool, 13th March, 1573. As managing owners of the Chacabuco, we have the extreme pain of informing you of the loss of the vessel about 2 a.m. on Saturday the Ist inst., after having almost completed a very successful voyage to San Francisco and back, and when almost within sight of home and friends. With the vessel twenty-four brave men and boys, including the captain, went down; and the only survivors are Mr. Arendrup the mate, Mr. Adamson, one of the apprentices, and an Italian seaman. The event has given us so much distress that we have not felt able to write respecting it earlier, and we do so now with sad feelings, when we reflect on the sorrow the event has caused to so many hearts and in so many households. As a relative of one who was on board the Cliacabuco,it may be satisfactory to you to know that when she reached San Francisco we received a letter from Capt. Ritchie, expressing the satisfaction he had with all on board ; and stating that, notwithstanding the great temptations offered to do so, he did not believe any of his crew would desert the ship. Before leaving that port four of the seamen were beguiled away, but this was a very small proportion of the crew to have lost; and his having kept the crew so well shows that there existed a feeling of duty on the part of his men which the offer of higher wages could not destroy. The voyage home had been most prosperous and rapid, until getting to Great Orme's Head, where the Chacabuco was run down. This occurred through no fault of the Captain, officers or crew, but solely, aa we believe, through the most culpable negligence of the steamer Torch, which neglected both the lights and the warning cries of the crew of the Chacabuco, and has thus caused the loss of the ship and so many precious lives. The boat of the tug-steamer Guiding Star saved the three survivors, who were all good swimmers; but Mr. Arendrup says : It seems a miracle any were saved, as the interval betwixt the time when the Chaoabuco was struck and when she went down was so short—scarcely three minutes. The boats were ready, but there was no time to allow " . of them being launched." The Chacabuco was our best strip and �tilt FRIEND, it Lit, was commanded by one of our most experienced and careful commanders. We could do nothing more for her safety, either in point of the equipment of the vessel or in the appointments of the Captain, Officers and Crew. We have also to state, that, Captain Kitche took the greatest interest in the welfare of his officers, apprentices and men. Mr. Arendrup testifies there perhaps was not another ship afloat where a better spirit prevailed than in the Chacabuco and this he attributes to the earnest desire Captain Kitche felt that they should all be partakers of the great salvation wrought out by the Lord Jesus Christ. For this great end he took much pains to impart Bible Truth to all on board and he set them all an example of a consistent Christian life. We deplore his loss and we wish to give this testimony to his worth and to the worth of many who perished with him. We are, your Humble servants, happily was saved), who were great friends, and who, when they went to sea, desired so much to be in the same ship, and thus remain together. One boy was the only son, and only child, alas ! of a gentleman in Leamington, married to the daughter of an English clergyman. His open face and docile disposition had enlisted the sympathies both of Mr. Williamson and myself before we could get a ship for him, and we were so pleased when we could put him under Captain .Ritche's care. Another of the boys was a most amiable, attractive lad, the son of a banker in Forfashire. The remaining apprentice was a Dundee boy, strongly recommended to us by a companion of his own, who was formerly on board the m.^**a<aH LigTht-ohK nese eeper. (one Chacabuco. These two (the boy Shaw and his friend who survives), we trust, were by Ood's grace, led through Captain Ritche's instrumentality during previous voyages of the Chacabuco, to give themselves to the Saviour.

I " " He did," said Jem, and I keep 'em safe here,'" putting his hand "on his breast. "Here they are," said Jem -slowly and distinctly : «"I say unto you, swear not at all; neither by heaven ; for it is God's thsone : nor by the earth ; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem ; for it is the city of the great King.

In Mr. Darwin's new book, entitled " Impressions of the Emotions in Man and Animals," we find this paragraph on page 361.

IBT3. I “Our Sailors-An Appeal.” This is tht title of a new book which has been published in London, by Mr. muel Phmsoll, a young and active memr of parliament. The object of the book to arouse public attention to the wretched d unseaworthy condition of many of the ■reliant vessels sailing under the British flag. Such as the following cases are mentioned : One ship-owner, having been refused a certificate by the surveyor, he loaded the vessel and sent her off. Before the ship had cleared from the coast, the sailors refused duty and were lodged in prison. Another crew was shipped, but eventually ship, cargo and sailors all went to the bottom of the sea. Mr. Plimsoll pledges to substantiate these facts before a commission. He calls for a commission to be appointed by Parliament. There is of course a great commotionamong ship-owners. The London Times, Feb. 12, supports Mr. Plimsoll, and asserts, "There are facts enough to prove that British seamen are drowned by the score, just for the want of legislative supervision. Mr. Plimsoll has every right to enquire that the interests of sailors shall be as well cared for as those of the miners and factory hands." This is a subject to which public attention ought to be called. Not long since it was reported that an officer attached to one of the steamers running on the Pacific, refused to go to sea, because he did not consider the vessel seaworthy, and another officer was shipped. The consequence was the latter was killed by the bursting of a steam pipe ! There is one other cause of complaint which ought to be examined and removed— we refer to intemperance on the part of masters and officers. The late wreck of the steamer Atlantic has aroused public, attention to this point. It should be a rule of all insurance companies to refuse insurance on any sea-going craft, commanded by a master in ihe habitual use of intoxicating liquors. The practice of allowing a " bar on steam" ers, is something outrageously opposed to the safety of ship, cargo and passengers ! In urging the adoption of an Act, in the British Parliament, for the appointment of a Commission to investigate this subject, Mr. Plimsoll, employed the following language, as reported in tbe London Record: he referred to was that of " The next case a well-known ship-owner of Shields, who had made his money in such a way that when he died the police had to be brought to protect it JULY, 18 78. and odd lives were lost every year by shipwreck. He did not think that a fourth of this loss could be traced to well-found, wellloaded, well-manned ships. After going through the technical details of the bill, he went on to urge the necessity of this temporary legislation pending the inquiries of the Commission. He begged, he entreated, he implored the House to read the bill a second time. If they could fancy that just outside the House they saw a ship before them on the rocks, and the waves beating upon it, he believed there were many now present who, just as Lord W. Hay leaped from Her Majesty's ship into the Tagus to save life, while the tide was running 20 knots an hour, would risk their lives in the effort to save others. He hoped, therefore, the House would now pass the second reading of this bill, and pass it with acclamation." (Cheers.) Arctic Explorations. The death of Captain Francis Hall, the Arctic Navigator, the wonderful and almost miraculous escape of a portion of his company, and the uncertainty attending the present safety of the Polaris and her crew, are subjects which again turn the attention of the public to northern fields of discovery and research. Notwithstanding the futality which seems to have followed all attempts to bring into the clear light of geographical and scientific certainty, that fabled polar land and sea, which for centuries has been the fond dream of voyagers, there have ever been those willing to endure peril and suffering to accomplish this end. The exstarted out under Captain Hall's command seemed to be peculiarly hopeful and more than ever was it anticipated that some solution to the much vexed problem of an Open Polar Sea would at last be found. The enthusiasm and hopes however of three years ago seem to be more than counterbalanced by the.dependency of the present and the almost tragic ending of the whole attempt. Within a few weeks the survivors of the expedition have arrived in New York, whose story is worthy to be placed with those of the most adventurous and skillful discoverers. From Captain Tyson's report we glean the following items: Captain Hall, who was the animating spirit of the company, had pressed forward with ardor, gaining new hope constantly of winning fame and success. In '71 he had reached latitude 82° 16. After his return to the vessel from this expedition which had been on sledges, he was taken suddenly ill and died on the Bth of October, 1871. Notwithstanding their loss, the remainder of the company were anxious still to continue in their voynge of discovery. his remains to the grave on account of the But they were driven by the ice and winds indignation of the multitude of women and into lower latitudes, until in August '72, it children w»o followed to pelt the hearse with was seen to be necessary to land the provisions and company oo the ice. With this action commences one of the thrillingfy interesting and marvellous stories of adventure on record. While a number of the men wore engaged in landing various articles, the Polaris broke from her fastenings and in the obscurity of the night was lost to those eighteen persons now left to fight their way back to life and home through months of ocean-peril, and Arctic cold. For six months did this brave little company exist on their great-ice boat, living in little snow huts, feeling each day the limits of their domain lessening, cherishing the feeble hope of ultimate rescue. Every means was adopted to sustain life, and of all the company none died, not even the children. In April of this year they were picked up by the steamship Tigress in latitude 53° 35' norih, longitude 55" west, and were landed at Roberts Bay, New Foundland. Since then they have arrived in New York ank have gone thence to Washington. The fate of the Polaris is still shrouded in doubt. The reports which the survivors give in reference to Captain Buddington are far from favorable to his reputation. It is to be hoped that the suspicions now entertained will be proved to be without foundation. Sad as was the fate of the gallant leader of this band of discoverers it will seem less sad if found to be from some natural cause and not at the cruel hands of one of his companions. Every effort will be taken by the American government to discover the truth of the gloomy reports of Captain Tyson and his people. All eyes will be on the lookout for the coming of the Polaris if ever again she enters American waters. Another grave has been dug in that land."

Miss Nellie Fuller then stepped forward, and presented Miss Brockway with a set of tutui nut earings and pin. Miss B. returns to Oakland, Cal., by the next steamer. Prof. C. took passage in the French steamer Vaudreuil, which sailed Saturday morning.— Gazette. Surprise Jack Ashore.—The sailors of the Repulse who have had several days of liberty on shore, are the most orderly seamen we have had here lately. The only demonstration they make is in trying to teach the Kanaka mustangs to go as they want them to. And if Jack happens to have an extra glass of beer aboard, wo to the unfortunoto steed under him. Every body likes to see Jack enjoy himself ashore, even when he can't hold in his " ould beast," as he calls him, and flies at a 2:40 pace. We are glad to see so many of them patronize the Home, where Mr. Dunscomb3 looks after them as faithfully as he would provide for his own brother. Sunday night, for instance, he had between twenty and thirty lodged at the Home, and all of them were seated at the breakfast table chatting as happy as princes. A goodly number of the Repulse's crew are Good Templars, having joined the order in England, where its principles are slowly but steadily gaining ground.— Gazette. Progress of Protestantism in Mexico.— Very remarkable success has been obtained by the Rev. H. C. Riley, the agent in the city of Mexico of the American and Foreign Christian Union. There arc at least sixty organized congregations, with thirty-five persons in charge. In the city of Mexico several prominent priests have been converted, and are now preaching the doctrines of Protestant Christianity. Aquas (now dead) was one of the most earnest, talented and influential priests in Mexico. Hence his renunciation of Romanism created an intense excitement among the Papists of that country. The Archbishop excommunicated him, and, in return, Aquas wrote a lengthy letter, reviewing the doctrines and usages of the Romish system. It is a very able production, and has been published in the Christian World, the organ of the American and Foreign Christian Union. Palacios, another converted priest, is attracting multitudes by his evangelical preaching, and others now in the field — be named. London Record. Rev. A. F.

Last ronvertftßssfciere had been brought to the fall tbe native chief of St. Paul island desir- Ed to send his son (a very bright and intelligent lad of fourteen years) to the Eastern States, for more thorough instruction. Tbe "Alaska Commercial Company" accord' ingly gave him passage to San Francisco, and sent him across to New England, where he is now pursuing a. four years' school course at their expense. The rising generation of Alutes will soon become more familiar with Washington than Peter the Great, and exchange Russian for American history. , In 1869 Gen. George H. Thomas made an official inspection of Alaska. He reported that on St. Paul and St. George Islands, the fur-bearing seals are seen in immense numbers, which he estimated at from five to fifteen millions each summer, lying in the rookeries, and covering hundreds of acres. He recommended that the hunting and killing of these animals should be regulated by law, as the only way to prevent tbe destruction of the rookeries. Experience had taught the Russians the necessity of such legal restrictions. From the lack of such regulations the seals have been utterly exterminated from many islands in the Southern Ocean, where they were once abundant. Accordingly, Congress, by the act of July Ist, 1870, adopted substantially the Russian system, on the 3d of August following, the Alaska Company leased from the United States St. Paul and St. Ceorge Islands. The Company contracted to pay the United States $55,008 per annum rental, and a revenue tax of $2.62,} on each fur seal taken and shipped from the islands. Two United States officials are stationed on each of these islands, to see that the Company complies with the conditions of the lease, and to count the skins as they are shipped to San Francisco, where they are again counted by the Custom House officers. The catch of 1872 amounted to 96,069 skins, and the tax paid to the United States was over $250,000 for that one year, which, with the rental, amounts to over $307,000 as the revenue paid to the government. Over $700,000 have already been paid into the United States treasury by this Company and the whole sum paid for Alaska will soon be realized from this one source, more than verifying the predictions of Secretary Seward as to the value of these Russian possessions. The interests of all concerned are best promoted by putting these seal islands in charge of a company, under heavy penal bonds to comply with the regulations recommended by Gen. Thomas, and adopted by Congress, and whose own interests requires the careful preservation of the fisheries. The Alaska Company have shown sagacity, courage and enterprise, in opening and developing this new field of commerce. Their lease embraces only these two small islands, which are 350 miles from the mainland. With this exception, the vast territory of Alaska is all open to the fullest competition in trade and business of every sort.

Events of great importance affecting the Hawaiian nation have taken place during the period under review. The Head of the nation lias been removed ; the last of the Katnehamchas sleeps with his fathers. His Majesty Kamchnineha V'., died on the llih of December, 1872. The highest chief of ths nation, by the almost unanimous vote of the people, has been elevated to ihe throne. His Majesty Lunulilo reigns over a united and confiding people. Four missionaries, who for many years consulted, prayed and toiled lor (he Hawaiian people, have left ns to enter (be rest prepared by the Master for His faithful ones. One i Pioneer, who had spent 5!1 years of her life in this work. Mrs. 11. P. Whitney, the wife of Rev. S. Whitney, entered into rest on the 26th of December, 1872. This Board is her debtor in that she liequcathed to it the sum of $300, as also her house at Waimea to be held in trust as a parsonage for the Church at Waimea, Kauai. Another was of the company who followed the pioneers of tho Mission, the Rev. A. Bishop, who died on the 18th of December, 1872. Hehsd :,K-,„.,.,trK Vicars on,he T.

Only one of all the churches has been on the Home Mission list the past year. Here it h but just to say that a majority of ihl- �FRIENDTH JULY,1873. — pastors of the churches have exhibited great devotedness to their work. While many of tho churches over whom they wore placed as overseers have not fulfilled their pledges to them in providing temporal support, these pastors for the most part have not become discouraged and left their fields, nor have they applied to tho Board for aid. One Association, however, has during the year applied for such aid. The Evangelical Association of Kauai, at its meeting in October, 1672, asked the Hawaiian Board to aid two of its feeble churches to the amount of $,00 each in supporting their pastors. This request was cheerfully granted. One only, however, of these churches, the Church of Waimea, Kauai, has drawn the sum appropriated. The other, the Church of Anahola, Kauai, not having a Pastor, did not apply for its appropriation. The Hawaiian Board would earnestly urge the churches of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association to fulfill the vows made to their pastors, when they were called to labor among them in word and doctrine. The laborer is worthy of his hire. For a Church to neglect to pay its Pastor what it pledged to him is a fraud as much as it it to neglect to pay any other honest debt. May the fact that many of our churches have neglected this duty, and thus not fulfilled their vows, be a reason why there are so few candidates for the ministerial office? and may this also not be a reason why the Holy Spirit has not been with the churches, as we would desire f Theological School. At the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in June, 1872, this most important subject was brought to your notice by order of this Board. After stating reasons for founding s» Theological School for Hawaiians at Honolulu, Oahu, the following resolution was adopted " Therefore it is referred to the Hawaiian Board of the Association to seek a proper site for this school, nnd to commence the school at as early a dale as possible, not later than the oiul of 1872." In accordance with this action a suitable place was obtained for the reasonable sum of $3,000. The former owner of the place, the First Vice-President of the Hoard, Dr. G. P. Judd, valued the premises at 44,000, but he sold them to the Hawaiian Board on condition that they be used for a Theological School for Hawsiians, at the sum stated above, thus donating to the : Theological School $1,000. The Hawaiian Board also authorized its Corresponding Secretary to endeavor to raise during the year the sum of $5,000 for the use of the Seminary, viz. $3,000 to pay for the premises, and $2,000 for repairs and other expenses in commencing the institution. For this fund the following sums have been paid into the Treasury of the Board : ' on Um islands $1,007 00 Hawaiian ehurclirs lo May IMS 1,61*7 47 A. B. C. F.

During the past year Boarding Schools for females have been continued on each of the larger islands of the group, with the exception of Hawaii. Incipient measures, which it is hoped will prove successful, have been taken to establish an institution for female education on Hint large island. The Female Boarding School nt Koloa, Kauai, has been disbanded for the present, not for want of pupils, but on account of inability, on account of feeble health to continue it. It is hoped, however, that this school may soon be resuscitated. The islands need nil the aid of this kind, by which they can raise up mothers for tho nation. The success of schools ot (his character in years past should urge us to greater efforts in this second lo no other instrument in elevating nnd saving the people. The Principal of tho Kawaiahao Seminary Miss L. Bingham, says in regard to this institution : The Kawaiahao Seminary completes its sixth year this July, 1873, having had since the commencement one hundred and three boarding pupils. Of these only one had died. Ten have made a profession of religion while connected with the school, and nine were professors previous to their entering the Seminary. One of the ten is now under appointment of the Hawaiian Board as missionary to the Marshall Islands. Nineteen htve l*;en married, twelve of whom have married whites or half-whites and seven pure Hawaiians. Nine are the mothers of thirteen children. The averngo number of boarding pupils during the year has been 42, but two or three have been taken out for good reasons before examination. The school has been greatly favored in socuring as nn assistant a lady from the United States, of long experience as a teacher, and well qualified to train tho young. Considerable proficiency has been made in vocal and instrumental music, while due attention has been given as usual to domestic work and sewing." Miss Lizzie Bingham has been connected with the Seminary as in years past. Three teachers have been connected with the Waialua Female Seminary. Miss M. E. Green, the Principal of the institution reports " the number of pupils at present is 48. None have been expelled from school. The health of the pupils has been uniformly " domestic work. The family school of Mrs. Lyons and daughter of Waimea, Hawaii, has been continued as in years past. This is a girls' school. Those connected with it sre all Hawaiian girls, supported by their parents. Newspapers. The newspaper Kuokou, under the editorship of the Hon. H. M. Whitney, assisted by J. U. Kawninui, Esq., has been continued with a very large increase of paying subscribers. The weekly edition of the paper now issued is 4,872,—tho largest subscription list of nny paper ever published on the Islands. The fourth page of this widely circulated paper is under the control of the Hawaiian Board, and for it tho Board is responsible. The Key. L. Lyons, nnd Rev. L. Smith, U. D., have edited this page as iv former years. This page cost the Hawaiian Board $800 the past year. The second of our papers, the Alrntln, has been discontinued. An edition of 2,671 has been printed and sent to agents on the different Islands. The very few agents, however, who have paid for the paper has led to the impression that it was not appreciated as it ought to be, and tho loss being so great on the paper, say $500 per annum, that the Hawaiian Board ra*)ed to discontinue it at the close of the Inst volume. The cost to the Hawaiian Board for the seven years that the paper has been in existence has not been less thanfrom $300 to $500 per snnum. It is thought by many, foreigners and natives, that the time has come when a distinctive Religious Newspaper in the Hawaiian language, of the size of the Kuokoa, should be issued weekly or monthly. This is a subject which should occupy the serious attention of the Association at this time. .

Four Missions are now under the direction of this Board, viz.: The Mission at the Marquesas Islands, and three Missions in Micronesia—the Gilbert Islands, Marshall Islands, and Caroline Islands Missions. The number of stations occupied arc the same as last year. During the year the Key. J. Kanoa and wife have returned to Butaritari to engage in their missionary work. The Key. J. D. Ahia has returned from Apaiang to these Islands on account of the death of his wife. He brought with him three motherless children. One new Missionary, Mr. Kckucwu, with his wife, Miriam, a graduate ol the Kuwaiahiio Female Seminary, have been appointed Missionaries to the Marshall Islands. Key. D. Kapali and wife, who returned to these Islands in IS7I in feeble health, will return with Kekuewa and wife to the Marshull Islands by this trip of the Morning Star, to resume their .Missionary work in that inviting field. The Morning Star. For reasons not necessary lo mention, the Morning Star has remained in this port a much longer time than usual. On the 3rd of July, 1872, she left Honolulu under command of Capt. Hallet for her usual annual voyage. The Rev. Wm. P. Alexander, Delegate of the Hawaiian Board, Rev. J. Kanoa and family, and Mrs. Captain Win. Hallett passengers. Returning she arrived at Honolulu on the 17th of November, 1872, having been absent 137 days. During this cruise she visited all our stations in Micronesia, and also the. stations occupied by the Samoan teachers under the Samoan Com in., of the London Missionary Society. Mrs. Rev. E. T. Doane, on account of feeble health, returned on the vessel from Bonabc, as also Rev. J. D. Ahia and family, with Rev. Wm. P. Alexander and Mrs Captain Hallett. It is now expected that the Morning Star will, in a few days, be on her way again to Micronesia to be absent some eleven months. As supplies were sent to the Mission at the Marquesas Islands in 1872 for two years, it was voted by the Hawaiian Board not to send the vessel to those Islands this year, of the Mission in 1871-72 we refer you to the Report of the Hawaiian Board for 1872. Key. J. W. Kaiwi, who returned to these Islands from Fatuhiwa in 1872, is still very feeble. He having been called to take charge of a church on Kauai, removed to that island, but before being installed us pastor over the church, was taken with the trouble which caused his removal from Fatuhiwa. He has remained in that state to the present time.

Members in good standing in five churches st Bonabe, 518, and ten in the church at Mugil. From Ihe church at Strong's Island we have no Statistical Report for the year. We suppose there are about 100 members of that church iv good standing. Schools arc represented to be in a prosperous condition. Many pagans are left on the Island of Boiinhc. Certain chiefs harden their hearts, and reject the Gospel. West of Bonabe ore a multitude of islnnds, the inhabitants of which have never heard of the way provided for man's salvation. These nre in pagan darkness. Such is the case of the Hoogloos, the Japites, and the people of the Peleus. Have not the Hawaiian churches something to do in carrying the light of life to them ? The Bonabe church members are awake, and are ready to send some of their best members to represent them among the heathen and engage in the work of enlightening them. Snail we sit still 'I May their zeal stir us up to greater exertions and more self-denial in obeying the command of Him, whose we are, and whom we serve.

We have great reason to bless Ood for His loving kindness to this nation in sparing them so long among us that they might lead the people in the way of life. It is not our foreign teacher* alone that He has taken, Ho has also removed the Rev. J. A. Kabookaumaha, pastor of the ohuroh of Kealakekua, Hawaii, together with his wife. Also the wife of Rev. J. Ahia, Missionary at Apaiang. We mourn the departure of these dear friends with whom we were wont to take sweet counsel and go to the house of God together; but we alio rejoioe with them, for tbey have fought the good fight, they hare finished their courage, they have kept tbe faith; henceforth there i* laid up for them a orown of righteousnesa, whioh the Lord the righteous judge shall give them at that day, and not to them only, bat unto all them also wholove His appearing.

Lot them call good and intelligent men to be their pastors, and not only pledge themselves to give tbem a competent salary, but pay it quarterly soithout fail. The church which neglects to pay her pastor's salary according to agreement, is not only ombarraeing her pastor and family but is* cheating itself. Our Saviour left a very important rule on record for the benefit of thoso who labor in His kingdom ; vi»: "Tho laborer is worthy of bis hire." Luke 10:7. Tho workman is worthy of his meat." Mat. 10:10. " Paul also writes to the Corinthian Church on this "Do ye not kuow that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with tho altar ? F.veu so hath the Lord ordained, that they whioh preach tho gospel should live of the gospel." I Corinthians 9:18, 14. Your I'ommittto would recouimend that each Island Association appoint a delegate to viait all of ita pastorssand churches, and talk with and exhort them on these things, and ascertain if practicable the cause of tho indebtedness and unfaithfulness of some of tho churches to their pastors ; and afterwards report tho same to their several Associations. subject.

We had intended a sketch of the life and character of the deceased, but it lias been so fully done by the editors of the Oatette and Advertiser, that we shall avail ourself of the following paragraphs published in the Advertiser of July 19th. The name of no one appears more frequently in the history of the Hawaiian Islands, from the years 1842 to 1853, whether that history was written by friend or foe, American or Englishman.

The importance of beginning rig/it, in any department of life, cannot be over-estimated. Such is, however, the delusion of life, that it is almost impossible to imprest this upon the mind of the young. The youth sees the whole world before him with all its infinite possibilities. The fruit of all the trees of the garden hangs in his sight, and he seems to hear tlie voice, "of every tree thou mayest eat." His whole future, indeed, is dim, shadowy and undefined. And it is well it is so. But still it is hopeful. He forms large plans, cherishes large desires. There is no place of honor, or trust, or responsibility, real or imaginary, that his vaulting ambition hesitates at. His aspirations, purposes, efforts, reach out in a thousand different directions. However others may have failed before him, he believes he will not fail, there is something in his case different to all others. He never has done a good thing, but he feels he has it in him to do a better; and so he has, this is a God-implanted principle, and will carry man to the point of infinite endurance. To the young man pleasure, business, honor, prosperity, domestic joy, social advantages, all seem quite within his easy reach. With vast longings, and with the direction of his life still undetermined, his spiritual industry, however sincere, is liable to be dissipated ; and did this condition of things last long, his character would remain unformed, his principles undeveloped, his moral attainments low. But without the rude shocks ot disappointment to which he is surely doomed, Providence early applies the pruning process. He is early confined within some single walk of industry—has one established home, sphere of duty, circle of friends, and round of enjoyments. His place in the social scale, the modicum of success and honor within his reach, is determined. He reaches much sooner than he expected the length of his chain. And learns, with much mortification, the depth of his reservoir orresources. Bounds, over which he cannot pass, are set lo his earthly life.

Wood.—This gentleman formerly commanding the clipper Oracle, occasionally touching ot Honolulu, we learn has become one of the proprietors of the Sacramento Daily Record, a large paper corresponding in size to the Union. He is also a leading manager of the Reecm, a Temperance paper, the organ of the Good Templars of California. He is a most thorough-going advocate of the Temperance Reform. At the California State Temperance Convention, held in San Francisco last April, he delivered an address on " the Relations of the Liquor traffic to the financial interests of the State." This address is now circulated in pamphlet form. It is a matterr of sincere rejoicing to learn that Capt. Wood is thus actively engaged in promoting the welfare of the State of California. He is a man who believes in newspapers and their support. We remember his coming a stranger to our office in 1867 or 8, while in command of the Oracle, and subscribing for about 20 copies of the Friend, and sending them for a year and more to his friends in British colonies, Great Britain and the United States. He did not forget to pre-pay subscription and postage. We trust subscribers to the Record and the Rescue may be equally prompt and generous, and that the most ample success majMttend Capt.

E. Dwinell, D. D., Pastor of the first Congregational Church of Sacramento, California. It was delivered on the 10thanniversary of his settlement. It contains many interesting historical allusions, and references to the city of Sacramento and State of California. We were somewhat surprised to read the following paragraph: " This is the last Sabbath of a ten years' ministry in Sacramento. I have been for sometime the longest settled Pastor in the State of any denomination. Ten years in changeful California is a long period." This fact surely indicates an unsettled state of ecclesiastical affairs, relating to the permanency of the Pastoral office. In the future a different result may be expected. In the spring of 1869, it was our privilege to listen to an interesting discourse of Dr. Dwinell, at the opening of the Pacific Railroad. He is a man of fine scholarship, and we are not surprised that his parish is much attached to their Pastor. Sometime since he declined the invitation to become a Professor in the Pacific Theological Seminary. We have taken a peculiar interest in reading this Memorial Sermon," because it was our "privilege to visit Sacramento, during the summer of 1849, ere any church was built or a Minister of the Gospel of any denomination had arrived. Very soon, however, the Rev. Dr. Benton commenced his labors there. Now the city is supplied we know not with how many churches, probably not less than twenty. A Boston writer says that men do not kill themselves so much by overwork as by inattention to the common laws of health. They eat at improper hours, they do not exercise, they neglect the prime essential, sleep, they break down, and overwork gets the blame. A man is like an engine; he will stand a certain amount of high pressure and no more. Half the quarrels and litigations in the world are caused by bad digestion, and we think he is pretty nearly correct. S. P. Aheong.—Letters from this wellknown Chinaman, were received by a laf% mail from China. ■ He still remains in Swatow with his family, and is engaged in teaching an English school for his countrymen. He has about twenty pupils. If satisfactory arrangements could be made, he would be exceedingly glad to return to the Hawaiian Islands. Catling's Gun.—Having frequently read notices of this famous gun in American newspapers, we were much interested in examining two specimens met with on board the Russian and American vessels of war, now in our port. We first saw that on board the Russian, and were surprised to be told that it would discharge 200 charges per minute. The officer remarked that it was an American invention but had been improved upon in Russia. Having occasion to visit the Portsmouth we made enquiry for a Gatling." Much to our surprise, Captain Skerrett remarked, that there was a possibility of discharging 400 charges per minute. He furthermore stated upon the authority of the First Lieutenant, Mr. Clark, who witnessed the experiment, that a "Gatling" had been found capable of hitting a target at 800 yards, 399 times out of 400 shots. After the first shot, %* gun was j;arefuliv adjusted, and this result followed. Such are the facilities that the gun can be worked by three men, and in its working the gun moves back and forward so that the bullets will mow down a regiment of soldiers, when in line, at a half mile distance. Not being skillful at maneuvering a gun or describing the working of a " Gatling," we may not have conveyed a very intelligible idea to the reader, but we must add, that we hope "Gatling's " and other kinds of gunnery will become so perfect and destructive that nations " will be afraid to go to war, and will resort "Geneva" to settle their difficulties rather than to the battle-field. The inventor of this famous gun, Dr. Gatling, was, we believe, a volunteer in the late civil war, and a citizen of Indiana. to �IHK 74 KR I E Ml. SKFTI ■ B E R , I&.

Heathen classic literature—types of beauty, which are the heritage of the Greek and " Behold if any M), picture. This is something of the picture, bare of coloring. The shadows of the night are fast deepening; deepening till they dim the fair landscape, as a pall covers darkly something we love. As the light fades, still stars gleam ia the sky, not silver-clear and bright, and not as harbingers of hope. Through the gloom you see gaunt fruit trees fruitless. In some merry spring time, you might fancy there were buds and blossoms here, pledges of golden fruitage. In the chill and damp of the night air we hear the moaning of the wind among the leaves; see the scattered, withered fruit. Surely no one lives in this lonely, deserted spot. Yet before you stands a door. There must be some dweller here. It is so closely barred, with bolt and hinge, so cruelly unfriendly and forbidding, one may never hope again to gain admittance. Long ago must this portal have been closed, perhaps in that same far-away spring, when birds sang blithely and there was sunshine everywhere. Vines and shrubs are knotted and tangled, chainlike, between you and this " strange, mysterious door;" tall, rank grass and weeds are about your feet; saddest neglect is pictured everywhere. What is the meaning of all this gloom ? Near this door stands One on whose brow is a kingly coronet, shadowed by another wreath, which is of thorns. From His shoulders hangs a mantle, richly wrought, on His feet are sandals, pressing close on grasses, sear and old. Light glimmers faintly from a curious lantern which He bears. Welook up. His hand is on the door; He is knocking. There is more light coming through the darkness. We look closely, eagerly. The hand is pierced. " He was wounded for our transgressions, he. was bruised for our iniquities." About the head shines a halo, by it stars are dimmed. There is hope ; we recognize the risen Christ." Patiently " waiting, "ever knocking," He stands through the darkness and night, til) His locks are " wet with the dew of the morning." Only to such a one would this door open. Does it ever ? Shall this darkness give place to light ? Will fruit ever hang in rich clusters on these now barren boughs ? He. alone can answer, who with solemn, tender words still says to all, " Behold, I stand at the door and Roman mind, and out-growths of a sensuous mythology and a pagan creed—and existing relics of ancient genius have deepened full enough the coloring of Christian art and poetry of the past and presegt age. The highest triumphs in mediaeval painting and sculpture, (achieved in those days, when after a slumber of ages, the world was made glad by the awakening to a new life of those grand principles of beauty, which can never really die) bear the impress of those old time artists who wrought, it is true, most wonderfully, yet not in the light of a divine revelation. Many who have been annointed with the chrisnWf poetic inspiration, have risen but partially above the influence of mere earthborn beauty, though possessed of themes, new and heavenly. We are too rudely awakened from the " vision beatific."

That in the sublime Bible narratives lie the most glorious opportunities for the enlightened artist and poet, none can doubt. The sweetest strains of earthly music fade away amid the melody of the angelic chorus, and the harpings of that heavenly host. The grandest ideals of antique art are dwarfed before those lives and principles, God-blessed and given, which are there sculptured for eternity. Aye, all else is forgotten in the presence of One, before whom we bow, lost in the glory of that wondrous beauty,of which the Morning stars sang for joy," which is " the " Song of the Redeemed."

At breakfast I often eat fruit, either in its natural state cr freshly stewed. After breakfast I occupy myself with my studies for a while, and then, when in town, I walk down to the office of the Eneniny Post, nearly three miles distant, and after about three hours, return, always walking, whatever be the weather or the state of the streets. In the country lam engaged in my literary tasks, till a feeling of weariness drives mc out in the open air, and I go upon my farm or into the garden and prune my trees, or perform some other work V)out them which they need, and then go back to my books. I do not often drive out, preferring to walk. In the country I dine early, and it is only at that meal I take either meat or fish, and of these but a moderate quantity, making my dinner mostly of vegetables. At the meal which is callsd tea, I take only a little bread and butter, with fruit, if it be on the table. In town, where I dine late, I make but two meals a day. Fruit makes a considerable part of my diet, and I eat it a*t almost any hour of the day without any inconvenience. My drink is water, yet I sometimes, though rarely, take a glass of wine. lam a natural temperance man, finding myself rather confused than exhilarated by wine.

The Doctor, with Mrs. Adams and native guides, mode the ascent of Mauna Loa on the 9th of the present month, arriving at the summit at night, after a somewhat toilsome journey. The crater was quite aotivc, though the jets of lava were not so high as luring the eruption of last year. The weather was intensely cold, and Dr. Adams' party returned to Kilauea on the 10th, which crater they found also active, as it has been for some time past. —A letter Irom Mr. -1. I).

The Imperial GeographicalSociety lias made use ol its special advantages to send out an experienced Siberian traveler, M. Tachekanowakl, on nn expedition, which ia welt equipped and supplied for two years. The exploring party, which haa already set out in sledges from Irkutsk, is to follow the Tunguska, a branch of the Upper Yenisei, until It reaches thePolar Basin, and to survey the vast unknown region that skirts that part of the Frozen Ocean which contains the New Siberian Islands. The return route Is to be by way of the Valley of the Lena aud Yakutsk, and the hitherto unknown regions of Arctic Siberia, which Alexander Yon Humboldt eagerly desired to explore. It is believed that in these higher portions of Siberia is to be found enormous mineral wealth in gold, silver, precious stones, and coal. Observations made upon the geology and meteorology of the coldest region of the globe cannot fail to be of value, even if the hopes of finding n Northern El Dorado remain unsatisfied. Perhaps the possibility of finding that the frozen North may containactualand tangible gold will deprive "practical" economists of their sole argument against pushing on Arctic discovery as quickly as possible. Russia is, above all tilings, a practical nation, and deserves to reap the full fruits of her energy—at least, when directed northwards.—Pall Mall Gazette.

Many of the old residents will remember Dr. Winslow's residence at Lahaina, more than a quarter of a century ago. It is gratifying to learn that he has not forgotten his old friends and the natives, respecting whom he speaks in a most kindly manner, while he thinks the missionaries have not been altogether successful in teaching the Hawaiians the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, still they have done much good : On the whole, their success as a civilizing and christianizing power, the Doctor did not think has been so great as the contribu tors of funds to the American Board had been lead to believe. The natives were never a bad people. But they had boundles* respect and affection for their teachers, gen- " •■ erally speaking. The missionaries were strictly temperate, and taught temperance." He thus remarks upon the success of the missionaries in the training of their own children : " The action of the missionaries in moral respects was especially conspicuous in the training of their large families of children. So many excellent and honorable young men and women he had never known presented by the same number of parents to society, educated, promising and useful in the various paths of active life, as had been brought up by the Protestant Missionaries, sent first and last to the Sandwich Islands."

M. C. A. "nounces to his congregation when he gives consumed 18,843 gallons. Church Singing. The body of plain dissenting churches have never yet attained to any harmony of practice, or satisfactory performance in the service of sacred song. The old sublime ritual of praise has been set aside with other elaborate ceremonies of public worship, and very little has been substituted in its place. Some churches have what they call congregational singing, in which this part of Divine worship is left hap-hazard to'the congregation and a musical burlesque supported by a few devout but discordant volunteers is often the miserable -result. Other churches have their singing done by contract by a paid choir of experts, just as they engage a a sexton to do their bell ringing, and they succeed in obtaining by this revolting practice correct musical expression and often doubtless very artistic performances but at the costly sacrifice of the song worship of the congregation. Between these two extremes are found.all modifications of both systems, churches where a large choir made up from tho congregation do die praising for the rest; churches in which the choir do the chants, anthems, etc., and perhaps two of the hymns, leaving to the congregation the privilege of praising the Lord in the last hymn ; churches in which the congregation may assist the choir in all the hymns, in which case it generally happens that they arc so overpowered by the cultivated preparation of the latter and its apparent superiority to all need of assistance, that their effort is feeble and ineffective instead of being the glad, unanimous outburst of praise which God delights in and which lifts men nearer to Him. The church should be satisfied with nothing less than a service of song in which all may participate. A service consisting of a sermon, prayer by the minister, sacred music by the choir, is little more than a combined concert and lecture of a serious cast; better go back to the singing boys, responses and reverent forms of our brethren the ritualists. There seems no reason why, with real religious enthusiasm and a determination to make public worship what its name implies —the hearty worship of each attendant—the service of singing may not be established in its true position i.s the medium by which the multitude may unite in praise, confession and supplication before the Father of all. The happiest success has been reached where this object has* been faithfully sought, and here and there nre churches where out the hymn, and God is worshipped with a hearty enthusiasm that carries the listener along in its flow. Spurgeon's church in England and John flail's in America have no choir except the assembled throng who rise and sing to the leadership of a clear, distinct voice from the pulpit or platform. In Beecher's church the grand congregational singing assisted by the choir is thrilling in its effect, and shows that the presence of a choir need not injuriously affect this exercise, which is second to none in importance in the strength anil reach of its good In 1863 the consumption fell off to 7,862 gallons. In 1564, the first year of the reign of Kamehameha V., the consumption increased to 10,237 gallons, and gained steadily until in the last year of his reign it had reached 18,843 gallons. In 1850, with a population of 54.165, the consumption was 8,251 gallons; while in 1872, with a population of 56,897, the consumption was 18,843 gallons.

It is a subject which we should have supposed some Englishman would have persued, even if it required a visit to Madrid and a thorough reading of the Journals of the Spanish Navigators of 16th century. No one doubts Cook's ability as Navigator and Explorer. He was preeminently the greatest Explorer of unknown seas, who flourished during the 18th century. For his fair fame, however, he most unfortunately allowed himself to be treated and worshipped as a god. We have thought that this must be the reason why among even his own countrymen here or in England, there never could be aroused sufficient enthusiasm to erect a suitable and becoming monument to his name, on the spot where he so unfortunately was killed. HISTORY OF TUB DISCOVERY OF THE sS_UU_, AND I'iiogress or tue Pboplb.—ln the old Spanish charts taken by Anson from the Manila galleon there is a group of islands called Los Majoa, the different members of which are termed La Mesa, La Desgrocioda, Los Monjes, ltocca Partida, La Nublada, &c.; and they are placed between lat. 18° and 22° N., and between long. 186° and 139° W.; but their existence in that position—at least as regards longtitude—was disproved by the subsequent voyages to the Pacific of LaPerouseiu 1786, ofPortlook and Dixon in 1786, and of Vancouver in 1793. Tbe Spanish word Aftta, however, signifies table, and is sufficiently indicative of the island of Hawaii, tbe mountains of which do not, like most volcanoes, rise into peaks, but are flat at tbe top, making what is called by mariners table-land ;'' while other points of coincidence—such as an island-group extending through four degrees of latitude and longitude, the position as regards latitude nearly correct, &c, —would seem to refer to what is now called the Hawaiian archipelago. The discrepancy as regards longitude (nearly twenty degrees) counts for little where dead-reckoning was tbe means employed to determine that element; as great an error was made by the Hon. E. I. Co.'s ship Derby in 1719 proceeding from the Cape of Good Hope to India, when tbe islands off the west coast of Sumatra were thought to be the Maldivhs. The positions given above are, according to various authorities, those in which tbe Spaniards plaosd the islands of Los Majos but from a note, p. second volume of Voyage dc La Perouse atsflj r d u Monde, redigc par M. L. A. Milet lisbed in Paris in 1797, it appears,—that Gaetano in 1542 sailed from Navidad on the west coast of Mexico (lat. 20° N.); he steered a due west course for 900 leagues, when he discovered a group of islands inhabited by savages nearly naked ; the islands were fringed with coral, and grew oocoanuts and other fruit ; there was neither nor silver ; he named them Isles del Rev ; the island 20 leagues more to tbe west he called Isle dc las Huertas. It is also stated that the Spanish editor of Gaetano's account placed tbe islands between 9° and 11° N, a clerical error for 19° and 21°.—Now Navidad is in lat 19° 10' N., long. 104° 40* VY.; 900 leagues in lat. 194° is 2864' diff. long, (or 47° 44'), which added to the •long, ot Navidad gives I(2° 24', or 24 degrees short the long, of the nearest point of Hawaii,—but 64 'egrets short of the long, of Oahu,—and the next island (Kauai) is 60 miles or 20 leagues distant. Thus, if the information conveyed in the note to La Perosse's Voyage is correct, it is more than probable that Gaetano did visit the Sandwich Islands ; but it is extraordinary, as Cook observes, that considering their favorable position, the Spanish galleons did not visit them.—JVcrfA Pacific Pilot, London, 1870.

These documents will satisfy you that thia long contested discovery took place in the year 1666. These notifications reached me at the same time as your letter.

May Ood keep you in his guard. Felipe dc la Corte. [Signed,] To His Excellency Ihe Minister of Foreign Affairs of His Hawaiian Majesty. . The author most explicit in regard to these surmises, is the said Fleurien, who, on the 422 dpage of the By taking from Captain Coo* first volume, says the barren honor of the first discovery of the Sand wich Islands, I do not endeavor to diminish the glory he has so justly merited :'' and he continues, on page 423: Lieutenant Roberts, who constructed tho chart of the third voyage of the English navigator, in which are traced his three voyages around the world and towards both poles, has preserved the Mesa group of the Chart of the Spanish Galleon, and has placed it with its centre 19° east ofOwhyhee, and in the parallel of the latter island. He doubtless thoughl that by preserving the group found by the Spaniards. none would dare dispute with the English the first discovery of the Sandwich Islands. But Arrowsmith, in his General Chart, of 1790, aad in his Planisphere of 1794, sacrificing his amour proprt to the evidence, only lays down one of the two groups. Since 1786, La Parouse, desirous of ascertaining if such island.) really existed to the eastward of Sandwich, passe over in the same parallel, 800 leagues from east Iv nest, and in the whole of this expanse be found neither group, island, nor any sign of land ; and did not doubt that the island of Owhyhee, with its arid mountain in the form of a table, was 'La Mesa' of the Spaniards;" and he adds, at page 126: "In the charts, at the foot of this Archipelago, might be written Sandwich Islands, surveyed in 1778, by Captain Cook, who named them, anciently discovered by the Spanish navigators.'" Perfectly in accord with this opinion, and strengthening it by an evident proof, is the log of the corvettes Descubierla and Atrtvida, on their voyage from Acapulco to Manill.i. which manuscript is preserved in this office, and apropos to this cose, states, at folio 26 : With a sea so heavy from N. W. and N., that while tbe rolling of the ship increased, and with it the irksome interruption of our internal duties, the speed decreased, with considerable delay to our voyage scarcely by noon of the 20th could we consider ourselves to be at 72, in tbe meridian of Owhyhee, about 66° longitude and 13° latitude ; nevertheless we had not, according to our calculation, an error of less thau 7" to the eastward, which, considering the long logline we made use of and that that error ought not necessarily to be the maximum to which it should be circumscribed on the voyage, strongly supported the suspicion that the Sandwich Islands of Captain Cook were Los Monges and Olla of the Spanish oharts, discovered by Jaun dc Gaytan in 1666, and situated about 10° to the eastwai d of the new position fixed upon by Uie English." We thus see that the presumptive or circumstantial evidence as to the true discoverer of the Sandwich Islands is indubitable ; having on its side the opinions of distinguished men, among whom figure countrymen of Cook himself, men whojprefer justice and reason to a vain national The last observation to be considered is the ifferenoe in the dates given to the first discovery. Foreign authors say that it took place in 1642, in the expedition commanded by General Rui Lopez dc Villalobo ; while the Spanish Chronicles denote 1665. The latter date should be the more correct one, for Juan Gaytan wrote the narrative of the voyage of 1642, and mentions nothing respecting thoseIslands, while he gives an account of Roca Tartida, (Split Rock), and Ambloda, (Cloudy Island), and of all those he discovered on that expedition. To complete and terminate, therefore, these investigations, there is only wanting the narrative of Gaytan corresponding to the voyage in whioh he made that discovery ; though in my opinion it is not required to make clear the truth of this fact. I have the honor to transmit this to Y. E. by Royal order, so that you may communicate the preceding information to the Government of the Sandwich Islands, and as being consequent to Y.

As there do not exist in the archives of this office any records whatever bearing dates previous to the year 1784, when all those of dates anterior to it were transmitted to the Archives Simancas, the Royal order of the 4th instant, communicated by your Excellency lo this office, was referred to the Ilydrographical Department, for obtaining particulars respecting the discovery of the Hawasianas or Sandwich Islands, in order to ascertain whether there were to be found records that could elucidate in any way the date of that discovery, and the name of the discoverer. On the 25th instant, tbe Chief of that Department replied as follows: Sir : In fulfillment of the Royal order dated the 7th instant, for the purpose of ascertaining the historical information extant in this office regarding the discovery of the Hawasianas or Sandwich Islands, I have the honor to send Y. E. the result of the investigations made with tbe diligence recommended to me in that Royal order. By all the documents that have been examined, it is demonstrated that that discovery dates from the year 1566, or 223 years before Captain Cook surveyed those Islands ; and that the discoverer was Juan Gaetano or Gaytan, who gave names to the principal islands of that archipelago. It is true that no document has been found in which Gaytan himself certifies to this faot, but there exist data which collectively form a series of proofs sufficient for believing it to be so. The principal one is an old manuscript chart, registered in these archives as anonymous, and iv wbioh the Sandwich Islands are laid down under that name, but which also contains a note declaring the name of the discoverer and date of tbe discovery, and that he called them Islas dc Mesa," (Table Islands). There are, besides, other islands, situated in the same latitude, but 10° further east, and respectively named La Mesa," (the table), La Desirraoiado," (tbe unfortunate), "Olloa," or Los Monges," (the Monks). This chart appears to be a copy of that called the Chart of the Spanish galleon, existing long before the time of Cook, and which is referred lo by all the national and foreign authors that have been consulted, such as the following: "Batavian Qforgraphy, 2d Vol. of the Geographical Atlas of William Blaen, Amsterdam, 16C3." In the first map, entitled "America Nova Fabula," the neighboring Island, La Desgraciado," and those of Los Monges," are placed towards the 21st degree of north latitude, and 120° west of tbe meridian passing through the Island of Teneriffe.—" Georgraphical Atlas of D'Auville, published in 1761, and revised and improved in 1786, by Barbie dv Bocage." In the second map, and in the Hemisphere of the Mappa Mundi, the Islands Desgraciado," Mesa," Olla " and Los Monges," are found in the 20th degree of north latitude, and about 17° further east, than the Sandwich group, augmented by Barbie in this chart. James Burney, in the Chronological History of the discoveries in the South Sea, or Pacific Ocean, cites the Atlas of Artelius, entitled, Theatrum Orbis," in which the same islands are found, and placed in nearly the same position.—" Alexander Findley's Directory for the navigation of the Pacific Ocean, Edition of 1867."

Mr. Frear, at Fort street Church, as he discoursed upon the » Sacredness and Benefits of Civil Goveminent." He based his remarks upon the opening verses of the 13th chapter of Paul's epistle to the Komans. " This passage of Scripture" heremarked in the exordium ofhis discourse, "as you are awire is the old war<:lub with which oppressors have been wont to strike down the rights of thr-ir thinking and liberty-loving subjects." After describing the condition ol the Roman Empire in the days of the apostle, Mr. Frear proceeded to discourse very satisfactorily and soundly upon the sacredness of civil tjovemment. The views which he presented and opinions advanced were so eminently in accordance with our own sentiments upon this subject, that we heartily rejoice to see the sermon is to be printed in the Qaattte, We copy as follows : " First, its Sacredness. There is sanctity to civil government, which God himself has given it. There is that about it which makes it a kind of sacrilege for a man to lay a ruthless or destroying hand upon it. Its authority demands respect and obedience. It awakens in all right hearts a feeling of deference and regard. It is that which cannot be sinned against with impunity. It claims the allegiance and loyalty of man. To trample on its laws is to be criminal, to rise up against its supremacy is to be traitorous. "It has this sacredness because, as our text says, it is ordained of God. Kings even do not give to it aught of its sacredness. Human pomp and show of royalty add nothing to this its sacredness. It is sacred because it is God's institution, and not man's. It is not the creature of man, neither did it result from any compact among men. It is something that God has given to the human race, and from Him it derives its sacredness. For this reason, at our text says, he who resisteth the power, i.e., the proper civil government, resitteth the ordinance, the institution, the commandment of God. In this respect the state or nation is like the" family. The family institution never sprang out of any arrangement of men among themselves; but God in the beginning set them in families, and put that nature in them which necessiated the family institution and He has perpetuated the race under the family organization. For this reason the family has sacredness and centralized binding force, and for this reason the violation of the family obligation is a sin against God, and not merely the breaking of a human compact. "Oar Creator has made strong the ties of family in the human heart. He has encircled it and bound it together with peculiar affections, respoiiajbilities and interests. He works out in it -Hove, a life, and a history of its own. He has planted in it a family feeling, a family pride; a family spirit, and there is such a thing as a family fortune, family reproaches, and visitations of judg- 1873. ment, the iniquities of the father upon the sic among the books on China, " The Midchildren being visited sometimes unto the dle Kingdom," and doing all kinds of per- third and fourth generation. "Very much in the same way the powers that be are ordained of God. He made us to live under civil government, and gave us natures that necessitate it, and has organized the race in that way. He has put men in nations, and has put a national feeling and spirit in their hearts, and has planted there an .obligation of allegiance. The duty of submission to law and legitimate civil authority as something that is sacred, and not merely politic, is a feeling deeply implanted in the human breast. No nation or state ever originated in any mere mutual agreement of men, nor ever derived its autority from that source. Men find themselves, and ever have from the beginning found themselves in nations, a part of the national body and life, without any agency of their own. They are born into the community, a part of it, and with its responsibilities and privileges. The nation always has its birth in the providence of God ; and it has its distinct growth, organic unity and development, under circumstances of His overrulings and ordering, God has thus placed men everywhere under sacred binding government, without any choice of their own, and He has made this one of the unavoidable conditions of our earthly life." Missionaries in China and Japan. Twenty-nine years ago, in June, 1544, live missionaries met together for the first time in China. They were young men then, and the year 1873 finds them gray-haired and far on in life, though all are still alive and not yet out of harness. These men were the medical doctors, McCartec and Hepburn (American), the printer, S. Wells Williams (American), and the ministers, Rev. S. R. Brown (American) and J. C. Legge (English.) Now they are all D. Ds. or LL. Ds., and the work actually done by these men would have killed twenty ordinary scholars. Dr. McCartee, after twenty-nine years of continual study, translation, hospital and dispensary work, and evangelizing labors among the Chinese at Ningpo, is now professor of natural history in the Imperial College in Tokei, Japan. His original composition in Chinese and translations, consisting of religious books, manuals of devotion, tracts, critiques, etc., number about fifty volumes. Dr. Hepburn, after many years of hospital and dispensary work in China, came to Japan, carried on the same healing work for the bodies and souls of the Jrpanesc, and, after eleven years of unremitting labor, has produced the master-work of his life and has chiseled the monument that will keep his name green for generations to come—the Japanese and English Dictionary. Dr. Hepburn has also spent several years, in company with Dr. Brown, in translating the Gospels into Japanese. He is now engaged in carrying through the press a pocket edition of his dictionary in San Francisco. Dr. S. Wells Williams, besides being the soul of the mission printing press in Shanghai for years, acting as interpreter for Com. Perry in his expedition to Japan, writing that clastwo sonal missionary work, has crowned the labors of hit life by issuing, through the press at Shanghai, his Chinese English Dictionary, the fruit of thirty years of mental toil. Dr. Williams is now the Secretary of the United States legation in Peking. Rev. S. R. Brown, after laboring for many years in China, was one of the first pioneers ih Japan, and besides his ordinary missionary labors has composed a valuable grammar ol the Japanese language, has been the chiel translator of the Scriptures into Japanese, and will end his days at that work. The Rev. Dr. Legge, the last one on the list, is the world-known translator of Confucius. For thirty years as teacher, translator, pastor, preacher, and student Dr. Legge has lived in Hongkong, averaging in his earlier years fifteen hours of study n day, and now at 65, ruddy and stalwart, seems ready to spend thirty years more either at the anvil or tho study-desk, with pen or sledgehammer. What labor it has been to master the Chinese language, the text and hosts of commentaries on Confucius' writings, only they who attempt it can fully understand : and when it is remembered that his work has been done amid the routine of ordinary work, often amid pestilence and political commotion, the capacity for work in this man can be imagined. Dr. Legge, before he left China, visited Pekin and the tomb ol Confucius. He now goes home to England to visithis large family, including ten grandchildren. In the long roll of missionary names and honors we can point to nd greater names than these, to no greater monument of labor, to no greater missionary success, at least, within the present century. All have won long life, honor, fame, and earthly comfort—showing that they have realized the promise of the life that now is, as well as that which is to come. Let no' young man about to beceme a missionary think that the days of great triumphs are over. There is work to be done, honor in this life, and more in the world to come. AH these men have numbered their converts by scores and Dr. Legge has baptized with his own hands about 700 souls. In the harvest of souls Dr. McCartee, doubtless, comes next ; while all will, doubtless, find that many forgotten seed dropped long ago has borne fruit and will appear as fruit in the harvest above. We shall not yet believe that the day of missionary triumphs are over when our own generation furnishes us with such noble examples of work, devotion, and substantial results.—.V. )'. Independent.

She was tbe wife of the American Contul, Judge Turrell. We can most vividly recall their arrival, for they came passengers on board the U.

M. C. A. industry and trade when the wages of labor all over the country have reached a point heretofore unthought of, there is presented fb us the extraordinary fact, that poverty and pauperism and crime are vastly on the increase. And it is acknowledged by the highest authorities that liquor is the cause of this unnatural state of things. Eren the government has taken the alarm and at the last session of Parliament took one step in the right direction by diminishing tho number of hours during which the public houses may be kept open. Sir Wilfred Lawson, in a debate in the House of Commons, denounced the licencing policy of the government in very strong terms, as calculated and intended to produce a large revenue from the degradation of the people. The government, he said, had given no indication of an intention of doing anything whatever to remove from the people the abounding temptations to drunkenness to which they arc exposed; and he quoted against the Ministers the well-known lines The Rum Question. One bright sunshiny morning it few months ago us the writer was riding over the grass-covered hills on a neighboring island, he overtook a man on horse-back, —a machinist, who was bound to the next plantation to make some repairs. In the course of the conversation which ensued the man, who was slightly corned himself, took occasion to remark that he did not believe in any one drinking to excess, but he liked to see a man able to take his glass without indulging intemperately. "Old fellow," thought we, "your principles are sound, but they don't quite coincide with your practice." It is just this weakness in humanity that " causes liquor to be a curse. Principle and practice are like two tubs floating down the river side by side. As long as they stick together the man who navigates them is all of Cowper i The excise is gathered with _crk_ rcsoll right. But when, as is generally the case, 44Of all this riot -, and ten thousand cask* dribbling out their base contents, Forever practice lags behind, the navigator finds it Touched by the Midas linger of the Stat'-, more and more difficult to stick to both tubs.

And Sir ant axiom that " no more moral depravity Wilfred Lawson said, " These public houses attaches to a cask of Hawaiian made rum and gin-shops are fixed among the people by than to a similar cask of Jamaica rum "lying us, for the sake of collecting our revenue. by its side in Ihe Custom House store."

Through the cupidity of distillers, the unfaithfulness ol officials, and in a hundred other ways, the product of the stills would be diffused among the community, and the utmost endeavor of government and planters could not prevent it. But this is not the question at issue. Bom is a curse whether drunk by Patagonians, or Esquimaux, or Hawaiians, and the turpitude of the Hawaiian distiller would be in no wise diminished because he manufactured for exportation. The regular meeting for September was unusually well attended and interesting. A committee of three, appointed the previous month to investigate the feasibility of inaugurating and carrying on a Chinese Mission in these islands, and of sending to China for Mr. Aheong to aid in the enterprise, reported favorably. The project was afterward discussed at some length, and a committee of five appointed to ascertain what financial support could be relied upon in carrying out the proper measures, and to report in two weeks at a special meeting of the Association. This meeting was held on the 26th ult. The report of the committee was of so encouraging a nature that the meeting passed a resolution to send for Mr. Aheong by the first opportunity, guaranteeing his traveling expenses, and his salary here. The interest in this importaut enterprise is wide spread and the offers of assistance numerous and generous and representing many of the well to do Chinese citizens, the foreign churches and a number of the benevolent societies of the islands. This year’s International Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association has again proved the growth and influence of these organizations. The Convention met at Poughkeepsie on the 9th inst., when it was reported that there are nine hundred and twenty-four associations on the roll, or eighty more than a year ago. Thirty-eight have permanent buildings, valued at one and three* quarter million dollars, and nearly as many more have building funds. Associations have been organised in thirty-two colleges and literary institutions. Following this report came the discussion of a variety of topics relating to the work and management of these associations, such as the value of Bible-classes, the qualifications of the general secretaries, the efficiency of personal visitation, etc. The subject, " What can young men do through associations to destroy pernicious literature?" appeared to be as important as any, and brought out some excellent remarks from Rev. Lyman Abbott, Mr. Anthony Comstock, and others. There is a wide field here for usefulness and thorough work, and no organizations seem better qualified to enter it than these very associations of active youths. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

W. Frear delivered a most appropriate discourse from the words recorded in Ezekiel xvi:l4. "And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God." In the introduction, the Reverend Preacher very naturally spoke of the propriety of a national thanksgiving, and expressed the hope that the time might come when the Christian rulers of all lands would unite in proclaiming such an Annual Day. He furthermore expressed the thought that there would be a peculiar propriety in the King of these islanes,. issuing his proclamation for a Day of Annual Thanksgiving. We would here remark that for many years under the reign of Kamehameha 111., and the early part of the reign of Kamehameha IV., this was the practice, and we sincerely regret that the practice was ever discontinued. As the public will soon be favored with the reading of the discoure, we refrain from further comment, but we cannot but express our decided approbation of the sentiments advanced. There were several very apt and pointed allusions to passing events in this kingdom. 97 {<Dli Strits, Acknowledgements.—From an extra N. Y. Trilnme, 9m\ SO G. D.

Bat our answer to the al- of W. Cowper to the Rev. J. Newton: — legation of the Friend that this was the case is' not i'ROvsn.' There is a wide difference between being treated in a partioular way, and allowing yourself to be so treated. To October 'Jth, 1784. our own mind it is as clear as daylight that the great Navigator did not at the time comprehend the nature of the ceremonial to which he submitted, and much less had any desire to keep up a delusion. Unless other data can be produced, the journal of Captain King, who was present, seems to us to settle the question. After giving an account of tbe oeremonial he writes : meaning of the va' The rious ceremonies, with which we had been received, can only be the object of conjectures, and those uncertain and partial ; they were, however, without expressive of high respect on tbe part of the natives ; and as far as related to the person of Captain Cook, .'hey teemed approaching to adoration.' The words ' we have italicised contain tho strongest sentiment that an eye-witness ventures to put forward in regard to the extravagant homage paid to his com- mander. And yet those circumstances of reverence, which eye-witnesses were at a loss to explain, have furnished subsequent writers with tbe only basis of their accusation that Cook consciously allowed the natives to receive and worship him as a god." We copy the above paragraph from the November number of the Hawaiian Church Monthly Mettsenyer. The editor appears to have drawn an inference exactly the opposite from that deduced by almost every writer or historian, who has read the narrative of Capt. King as recorded in Cook's voyages. No writers have been so severe upon Cook's character and conduct as Englishmen. The following remarks of the Poet Cowper written when the narrative of Cook was first published in 1784, are fully endorsed by Manley Hopkins, Esq., in the last edition of his Hawaii," published in 1866. During this "interval of eighty years, this subject has been frequently discussed, and reviewed and we cannot recall one writer who has ventured to say with the editor of the Hawaiian Church Monthly Messenyer, that the fact is " not proven," that Capt. Cook allowed himself to be " adored " as Lono. We should suppose any candid person must be convinced of this fact, who will glance- at the scene sketched by the pencil of the artist who was present. That sketch was engraved for the original edition of Cook's voyages and has been re-engraved many times since. The native testimony we consider as most definite and explicit upon the point under consideation. In the republication of the following mfHh ' Last night 1 had a letter from Lord Dartmouth.

The latter faot appears more remarkable than the number of human beings whom curiosity drew to the shore. Cook landed, and conspicuous honors awaited him. Tbe King, Kalaniopuu, was still absent, engaged with his conquest in Maui ; but the tabu was broken, and Cook was treated with more than regal deference,—a demonstration ofrespect which would have been ludicrous had it not been painful. Heralds announced his approach, and opened a way for him through the crowds that thronged him. Those among the people who were more fearful, peeped at him from the houses, from behind stone walls, and from the tops of trees. As he moved, the assemblage covered their faces, and those nearest to him prostrated themselves on the earth in the deepest humility. As soon as Lono had passed, the people sprang up erect, and uncovered their faces ; and some among them not being rapid in their movements got troden down by the advancing crowd. The evolution of prostration and erection was found at last so inconvenient, and to require so unwonted an agility, that the practicalminded people found that they could beat meet the case by going permanently on their hands and feet ; and so, at lust, the procession changed a good deal in character and appearance, and 10,000 men and women, having little else on them than their nudity, were seen pursuing, or flying from, Captain Cook on all fours One feels ushamed at Ihe ovation ; ashamed at the degradation of one section of humanity bowin" down in such servile sort to their fellow men"; ashamed at one's own countryman in his triumph, and for his enduring the profane apotheosis which followed. He was led to the chief heiau, or temple, and was presented in great form to the idols was taken to the most sacred part of the enclosure, and then, being placed an a scaffold, ten men, bearing a large hog and some bundles ofred cloth, entered and prostrated themselves before him ; he was encircled in the cloth, and the hog was offered to him in sacficc, two priests the while chanting an antipbonal hymn in honor of Lono. By them he was led to the chief idol, which, following their example, he kissed. Indeed, in that mad hour, Cook's own degradation seems to have been equal to that of his ignorant worshippers. He wss supported by the chief priest and by Captain King, and placed between two wooden images ; then his face, hands, and arms were anointed with chewed cocoanut; he drank awa a drink prepared in a manner most disgusting to our notions —and finally he ate pork, whioh had been previously masticated for him by an old man. The natives assert that Cook went through all these heathen ceremonies without the slightest opposition." voyage, which he was so kind as to lend me, in St. James' Square. Tbe reading of those volumes afforded me much amusement and I hope some instruction. No observation however forced itself upon me with more violence than one, that I could not help making on the death of Captain Cook. God is a jealous God, and at Owyhee the poor man was content to be worshipped. From that moment, the remarkable interposition of Providence in his favor, was converted into an opposition that thwarted all his purposes. He left tbe scene of his deification, but was driven back to it by a most violent storm, in which he suffered more than in any that had preceeded it. When he departed he left his worshippers still infatuated with an idea of his godship, consequently well disposed to serve him. At his return he found them sullen, distrustful, and mysterious. A trilling theft was committed, which, by a blunder of his own in pursuing the thief after the property had been restored, was magnified to an affair of the lost impor-, tance. One of their favorite chiefs was killed by a blunder. Nothing, in short, but blunder and mistake attended him, till he fell breathless into the water, and then all was smooth again. The world indeed will not take notice, or see, that the dispensation bore evident marks of Divine displeasure ; but a mind I think in any degree spiritual oan not overlook them. We know from truth itself, that the death of Herod was for a similar offence. But Herod was in no sense a believer of God, nor had enjoyed half the opportunities with which our poor countryman had been favored. It may be urged perhaps that he was in jest, that be meant nothing but his own amusement, and that of his companions. I doubt it. He knows little of the heart, who does not know that even in a sensible man it is flattered by every species of exaltation. But be it so, that he was in sport—it was not humane, to say no worse of it, to sport with the ignorance of bis friends, to mock their simplicity, The following is the native testimony to humor and acquiesce in their blind credulity.

And speaking to brother he said that meditating much upon the Scriptures God had opened his eyes and his' chief delight was now in them. We have every reason to believe that he is entirely sincere in what he says. " Spain is in a condition of turmoil and change; in many respects the most favorable time for planting the good seed. Bilbao, the first city to the east of us, distant about fifty miles, is besieged by the Carlists, and to-day the papers tell us that the Carlist Junta intrusted with the political organization of the party have decided by a majority of six votes upou the re-establishment of the Inquisition! At the same time the Republican Government is promising entire separation of Church and State which would be a great and most decisive step for Spain. If the priests and bishops could no longer look to the government for their salaries the Roman Church would crumble rapidly.

The proceeds of the sale amounted to $381,- The prices obtained were extraordinaOne cow, known as Bth Duchess of Thomdale, sold for $40,600 ; another, 10th Duchess of Geneva, $35,000 ; another, Ist Duchess of Oneida, $30,600. All of these were bought by Englishmen for exportation. Nine others brought prices varying from ten thousand to twenty-seven thousand dollars, and many more from one thousand to ten thousand each. The cattle were Shorthorns, owned and bred by Hon. Samuel Campbell, a member of the New York senate. The Shorthorn, as is well known, was originally imported from England, but of late years several herds in America have had a reputation not inferior to that of any in the old country. It is said to be impossible in England to procure any throughbred Shorthorns, not because there are none in the country, but because the owners will not part with them. A cotemporary, which is good Authority on such matters, says there has not been a public sale of Shorthorns in England for twenty years and there is not likely to be any for a hundred years to come. The sale of Mr. Campbell's stock has therefore been u topic ofinterest in England as well as in this country, and has been discussed in the agricultural journals -585. ry. there.—Massarhusctts Spy, s>/>t. 15. day has little to fear from the Inquisition though the spirit which kindled its fires still Erratum.

His remarks on lower Egypt, had that country been less generally known might have rank- ed with the most valuable of geographicnl records. They greatly heightened the opinion, which his employers already entertained of his singular qualifications for the task, which he had undertaken. Nor was his residence at Cairo altogether useless to the association. By visiting the slave markets, nnd by conversing with the Jelabs, or trava cling merchants of the caravans, he obtained withoutany expense a betteridea of the people of Africa, of «rts trade, of the position ol places, the nature of the country, and the manner of traveling, than he could by any other means have acquired ; and the communications on these subjects, which he transmitted to England, interesting and instructive as they were, afforded the society the most gratifying proofs of the ardent spirit of inquiry, the unwearied attention, the persevering research, and the laborious, indefatigable, anxious zeal, with which their author pursued the object of his mission. He had announced to his employers, that he had received letters ol earnest recommendation from the Aga ; that the day of his departure was appointed ; that his next despatch would be dated from Scnnaar; and the committee expected with impatience the result of his journey. But thnt journey was never to be performed. The vexation occasioned by repeated delays in the departure ol the caravan, brought on a billious complaint, which, being increased at first by incautious treatment, baffled the skill of tho most approved physicians of Cairo, and terminated his earthly existancc January 17, 1789. The society heard with deep concern the death of a man, whose high sense of honor, magnanimous contempt of danger and earnest zenl for the extension of knowledge had been so conspicuously displayed in their service ; whose ardor, tempered by calm deliberation, whose daring spirit, seconded by the most prudent caution and whose impatience of control, united with the power of supporting any fatigue, seemed to have qualified him above all other men for the very arduous task of traversing the widest and most flangeorous part of the continent of Africa. Despising the accidental distinctions o( the society, he seemed to regard no man superior : but his manners, though uiTpolished, were not disagreeable. His uncultivated geniuwas peculiar and capacious. The hardships, to which he submitted in the prosecution ot his enterprises nnd in the indulgence of his curiosity, are almost incredible. He was sometimes glad to receive food as in charity to u madman, for that character he had been obliged to assumo in order to avoid a heavier calamity. His judgment of the female character is very honorable to the sex. "1 have always remarked," said he, " that women in all countries are civil and obliging, tender and humane ; that they are ever inclined to be gay and cheerful, timorous and modest; that they do not hesitate, like men, to perform a generous action. Not haughty, not arrogant, not supercillious, they �full of courtesy, and fond of society; more liable in general to err than the man, but in general also more virtuous, and performing more good actions, than he. To a woman, whether civilized or savage, I never addressed myself in the language of decency and iriendship, without receiving a decent and Iriendly answer. With man it has often ticcn otherwise. In wandering over the barren plains of inhospitable Denmark, through honest Sweden and frozen Lapland, rude and churlish Finland, unprincipled Russia, and the wide spread regions of the wander-or ing Tartar; if hungry, dry, cold, wet, sick, the women have ever been friendly to me, and uniformly so. And to add to this virtue, so worthy the appellation of benevoVncc, their actions have been performed in "o free and kind a manner, that if I was dry, 1 drank the sweetest draught, and if hungry, I eat the coarsest morsel with a doubleWelith."—.
