The great increase of the population of California, which has nearly doubled in twelve years, has caused the erection of numerous sawmills, which are fast destroying the forests of the mountains. But a new growth of youngevergreens is beginning, which, is to be hoped, will be protected from the fires recklessly made by Indians and travelers. But it will take ages for thetn to grow as great as the gigantic trees that here now amaze and delight us. In spite of the snow THE MINES Still resound with thestrokes of the pick and drill and with explosions of powder. They are worked through the winter as well as through the summer. These mountains, which are granite at their summits, below this slate, next serpentine, and next sandstone with rifts oflava through this strata, contain in their conglomerated dei>osits immense treasures of gold. Here in some places these treasures are sought by "drifting,' which consists in tunneling into the hills and conveying out the gravels to be washed. In other places the bills are washed down by hydraulic power. I visited the Cherokee mine, the largest hydraulic mine in the world. Its excavation was like a huge crater, three quarters of a mile broad by a mile and a half long and three hundred feet deep. Eight hundred feet of pressure of water is used in this mine. It has yielded gold to the value of $ 100,000 per month. But its slickens " have so overspread immense tracts l>elow. that the owners have had to spend nearly a million dollars in buying out the protesting farmers. I saw the flumes ofanother hydraulic mine, which, after an expenditure of $150,000, was stopped by injunctions made by the farmers. In another place a tunnel was being dug to turn off the Feather river so as to explore 16 miles of its bed. Surface mining has nearly ceased. Its effects are everywhere to be seen in heaps of gravel and stone over wide areas of ruined land. It is sad to think how many disappointed hopes, how much suffering and loss and death have attended these enterprises.' More treasure has been wasted than has been obtained in the mining operations of California A better industry is that of " 1883 But a change has come as by enchantment. Now there are miles upon miles of waving grain, like the valley of the Nile, vineyards like those of France, olive and fig and orange and lemon groves like those of Italy, and with these orchards of all the fruitbearing trees of the temperate zone. Far up in the foothills I saw homes embowered in roses and honeysuckles and surrounded by orchards and farms crowding against the pine forests. One such home, situated at Oroville, I must particularly mention. It was the residence of Mr. C. H. Wilcox, who came hither irom our Islands in 1857, and has ever since remained here, prosperous and resected. Thirteen years ago, while the agent of the railroad depot, he received an orange with freight consigned to his care. He divided his present with a friend. After each had eaten of the fruit and remarked its excellence, Mr. W., in a jesting way, said, "Suppose we plant the seeds and see whether they will grow." He picked up an empty oyster can, filled it with some of the red soil of the street, planted the seeds in it, and kept it well watered in his office. In the spring tiny orangesprouts appeared, which in due timewere set out and cared for. The result is that he now has an orchard that yields the finest oranges in the state. I .ast year his crop was 5,000 oranges. We found ture. THE SALVATION ARMY Holding meetings in a large tent at Oroville. I was a few minutes in one of their meetings. I saw nothing grotesque or objectionable. A choir of ladies with sweet voices sang gospel hymns. Two men by turns made exhortation, often relating words somewhat as follows, help you men ! Give up to God. "ItCod is time for you to give up your drinking and thieving and other sins." Their labors were so successful that they were prolonging their stay. Two clergymen ot the place were heartily assisting. Whatever good they can do here is greatly needed, where the peculiarity of mining times, profanity, gambling and |>articularly intemperance still greatly prevail. It is cheering to see how the American |>eople are awaking against these vices. The temperance reform will be the great movement of the future. Everywhere in California bands of hope are forming, pledging the children against profanity FARMING. and the use of tobbacco and intoxicating Once it was thought that this was the drink. There is indeed hope in these worst country in the world for agricul- bands of the rising generation for the future. A fine move, much urged, is the raising of the cost of licenses, so as to freeze out a great number of low groggeries. The consummation to be most sought is total prohibition. This, with gospel temperance meetings everywhere, like those of Honolulu, will in time displace thelow saloons and gambling hells by temperance coffee bouses, reading rooms, and halls for the most refining and religious influences. God speed the day to California and also to the Hawaiian Islands. Jas. M. Alexander. 1883. Oakland, May, Souvenir.— Col. Norris, who oscillates between Honolulu and San Francisco with the regularity of a pendulum, measuring off the moments on a clock, met us recently with his usual aloha, and presented a "John Howard Payne souvenir" from the press of Prang & Co., of Boston. It is a fac-simile ol his famous song "Home, Sweet Home," in his own handwriting. It appears to he the copy made by Mr. Payne, in 1849, a short time before he left the United States for his Consulate, in Tunis. This fact is certified to by various members ofCongress, and who vouch for the correctness of the publication. It also contains a facsimile, from life, of a pencil jiortrait, by Miss Freeman, a celebrated |x>rtrait painter of New York. We highly prize these mementoes of the celebrated song and its gifted author. We are thereby reminded of an event in our college life at Amherst in 1833, or '34, when Mr. Payne visited the institution and was enthusiastic in his effort to establish an International Magazine, to be sup|x>rted by contributions on both sides of the Atlantic. We are glad the American |>eople are now doing so much to honor the memory of one whose fame will last as long as the marble statue to his memory shall endure. Thanks to Col. Norrisforthe Interesting interesting souvenir. Acknowledgments. — From Mr. William Noble, the leader of the blue ribbon army, a copy ofthe "Blue Ribbon Gospel Tem|)erance Chronicle."

Bird (Mrs. Bishop), with maps and illustrations. John Murray, I,ondon, 1883. ' Down to the (Joldcn Chersonese.' -Milton. The author of this charming volume of travels in the Malay Peninsula has fully established her character as a good traveler and descriptive writer, by her previous books. Having read jiortions of this volume as they appeared in the London Leisure Hour, we were prepared to appreciate these letters "as a whole," addressed to that sister, to whom all her former letters were written, and about whom we find this touching paragraph in the preface ; " My present volume has been prepared for publication under the heavyshadow of the loss of the beloved and only sister, to whom the letters of which it consists were written, and whose able and careful criticism, as well as loving interest, accompanied my former volumes through the press." It is a singular and noteworthy fact that decidedly the most remarkable female tourist and best English writer of the passing age, should be a frail lady who thus alludes to her infirmity in ' Letter I,' while being terribly inrommoded, in the China seas " During those cold, dark, noisydays, when even the stewards could scarcely keep their feet, I suffered so : much in my spine, from the violent movements of the ship, that I did not leave my cabin ; and, besides being unable to read, write or work, owing to the darkness, I was obliged to hold on by day and night, to avoid being much hurt by the rolling, my berth being athwart ship." Old voyagers knowhow to appreciate such "knocking about " at sea, but Miss Bird is bound to see the world, and esjiecially travel those unbeaten paths," which or- " dinary tourists avoid, hence her books are so popular. For many reasons, the Malay Peninsula, or "The (tolden Chersonese," merits a study. Just now, the Chinese are crowding its towns and developing its resources, under British rule. Not only Singapore, but other towns and cities are assuming importance under Chinese enterprise. If anyone desires to learn what industry and thrift will accomplish, let him read this volume. There is one feature of this volume, 1883. as well as the other volumes, by Miss Bird, which has s|>ccially attracted our attention. It is this the admirable facility with which the writer employs her pen to describe the botanical and geological characteristics of the Malay Peninsula. This same feature is also apparent in Miss Cumming's books on the islands of Polynesia. These English ladies do possess a scientific knowledge, which they employ to a most useful put|»ose. These books in this respect, remind us of Fllis' Polynesian Researches, and of his Madagascar volumes. Knowledge thus employed, in our estimation, constitutes a very high order of talent, and writers able thus to employ their scientific attainments are to be envied. Our limits will not allow us to copy interesting paragraphs, but the Press has favored our island readers with many choice paragraphs. We would acknowledge our indebtedness for this advanced copy of " The Golden Chersonese," from the London Press, to Mrs. Robinson of Kauai, who is now traveling in Europe. Perseverance Rewarded..-We arrived at Honolulu early on Sunday morning, and Governor Dominis brought me to this pleasant house, which is alike the home of his mother and of Princess Liliuokalani, his wife. The latter occupies her own suite of apartments. Mr. Dominis has commended me to the etpecial care of his mother, a dear old lady, stiff with rheumatism, and her hands shaking with pain, but bright and clever, and full of keen interest in life. As we sat in her veranda, looking at the lovely masses of blossom and the pleasant turf lying in cool shadow beneath large beautiful trees, she told me she remembered when there were only seven trees in the whole valley, and bow she herself began to make the very first garden at Honolulu, by preparing a tiny plot before the window of her own barewooden house, and there attempting to strike some geranium cuttings—an attempt much discouraged by her husband, who assured her that it was ho|>eless to think of making anything growon such soil. The young wife was not easily daunted, however. She i>ersevered till her garden was a source of amazement to her few neighbors, who, of course, followed her good example. Now she lives to see that region of fine cinders converted into a flourishing town, where hundreds of happy homes are embowered in beautiful flowers, and shaded by tall trees of many different species, all growing so naturally that strangers, on arriving here, suppose them to be the spontaneous vegetation of these lavish tropics. Fire Fountains. By C. F. Gordon Gumming, in Blackwood. — WHY DO NOT THE CHINESE BUILD THEIR OWN CHURCHES? This question is frequently asked, and to answer it we have been requested to print the following paragraph, from our last Sabbath morning's discourse: "In reply, I can only say, here we have 15,000 or 16,000 strangers on our islands, born in a heathen land. Now, is it reasonable to expect such paraom will contribute to build Christian churches ? It is not to expected that men will pay for preaching to convert themselves from the superstition and idolatry of China, to the principles of the Christian religion. Here is just the point wherein we are to show our love for the stranger in our midst. Agreeable to the teachings of Moses, as carried out by Joshua, we are to gather these strangers in places where they may listen lo the teachings of Jesus Christ." We would add, that the Chinese merchants, shop-keepers and laborers, did contribute very generously for the Honolulu Chinese church, and so they are doing for the Kohala church. Most of the professing Christians among the Chinese do not belong to the class accounted rich and proaperous. Under all the circumstances, we confidentially assert that the Chinese have contributed liberally. They arc now laying their plans to sup|>ort their pastor at Kohala, as they are doing in Honolulu. Home Society.-We read with pleasure the re]K>rts of the various gatherings of our fellow residents, for the purpoae of organizing a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals and unkindness to human beings. May success attend their efforts. We would call special attention to the fact that many of our citizens, driving fine horses are using a "curb," which is strongly condemned by Mr. Berg and the friends of animals in the United States. We ho]>e the society will circulate "Our Dumb Animals," a monthly periodical published in Boston, and which are have had for a long time among our exchanges. It is an excellent publication. An English writer remarks, it we are expecting to save our nation from drunkenness, we must begin with the little children. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, 1883 South Seam, per Kaluna, July 3t—H Sima, MARJ INE OURNAL. andFor2 children, returned laborers, including wife women 77 and children, Dr Brodie.

At the last meeting of the association, it was decided to go on and complete the unfinished portion of the hall, after the necessary funds had been raised. It will require in round numbers a thousand dollars. The unfinished room on the ground floor will l>e floored over and furnished for the use of Mr. I'. ('. Jones' hook-keeping class and other kindred purposes. At present, his classes have to meet in the reading room, inconveniencing readers. Now that the association has fairly taken up its quarters in the building, it is found that a gymnasium so near the reading room would be wholly impracticable, and without another room for general purposes, the association would be cram|x.'d. With the $1,000, baths and a toilet room will also be put in to the rear of the new room, and if in due time, the association feels the need of a gymnasium and bowling alley, the yard on the Kwa side of the building will make a good site for a light airy wooden building for that purpose. The room in the main building is too small and close for a gymnasium. The moving, however, that the committee l>e authorized to go ahead and secure funds antl complete the building, and the actual securing those funds are two very different things, and the committee, P. ('. Jones, R. I.ishman, and J. 15. Atherton, now lack $700 of the necessary amount. 72 ■ It is a revelation. Hundreds of men who have labored for years and become thoroughly imbued with the work have to compress ihe accumulated thoughts of years and the strong emotions of the hour into one and two minute speeches. Prominent among delegate! were those from Great Britain, bearing a letter from the Bail of Shaftsburry, the venerable president of the London Association, who were introduced to the convention amid loud applause. This is an age of combinations of all kinds, and the Y. M. C. A. movement is a combination vast and growing. It has its association secretaries, state secretaries and international secretaries its college, commercial travelers, railway, German speaking secretaries, etc. The railroad branch of the work was only started a few years ago. yet it now employs sixty-one secretaries, and expends $75,000 a year, two-thirds of which amount is contributed by the railroad companies themselves. ('. 1,. Colby, a strong association man. is president of the Wisconsin Central Railroad and many other leading railroad men are active association members. 'There were 103 college delegates present at the convention and in fact the work has grown to that extent that they now have conventions of set re taries to discuss methods of work, etc. The one held at Racine, Wisconsin, this year numbered 240 as against 173 Of a truth, the present last year. world is moving on.

Mr. Cassidy, on the prison committee, reported that, as he did not feel competent to conduct the meetings alone, he only visited the prison on Sundays, that Mr. Lees, his colleague, felt strong enough to attend. Mr. B, C. Damon, one of the committee to visit the sick, reported visiting the hospital, as usual. Among the sic k were some Japanese sailors, but unfortunately, there was no interpreter at hand. Mr. P. C. Jones, reporting for the employment committee, said that he had called a meeting of that committee, but was the only one present. After some pertinent remarks, he set the time for another meeting. In another column will be found mention of the building committee's work. The epiestion was then raised whether the association should continue the support of a Chinese colporteur. Opinions were expressed both ways, and the matter was postponed to next meeting, Judge Judd expressing the desire that the association should commence pioneer work among the Portuguese, as they have done among the ('hinese. The collection amounted to $13 50. Mr. R. I.ishman was appointed a member of the building committee, in place of C. M. Cooke, excused.

It has been a source of no little pleasure to me that my proposed plan has seemed to give great satisfaction to my Chinese friends, who see in it a pledge of continued friendship and sympathy. It must be patent to every thoughtful observer that in the future of our islands this people, representing the greatest of Asiatic nations, is to be a most influential factor.

What precious memories are called by the announcement of this missionary's death. His birth dates in the closing years of the last century. He sailed for South Africa in 1816, the same year that Kills and Williams, the martyr of ICrromanga, left England for the South Seas. What noble young men, Moffatt, Ellis and Williams, start ing in their young manhood for labors among the heathen, and how nobly these three men bore the "burden and heat" of the day! Williams died the martyrs/leath November 30, 1839; Ellis, after laboring in the South Seas, Hawaiian Islands, making three visits to Madagascar, died in England in 1872, while the remaining member of the illustrious trio has recently died in England. It is well known that his daughter married the renowned African explorer Livingston. The world has telt the influence of these noble men, whose labors were so wide-spread and farreaching. Their fame is world-wide, and their memories will be cherished in grateful remembrance so long as time shall las!. to mind The Last Find at Pompeii.—A beautiful painting has been discovered in the ruins of Pompeii, representing the ''Judgment ofSolomon." It is said to be the first Dictate on a sacred subject that has been discovered in the buried cities. A correspondent, describing the picture, says:"On a dais sits a king holding a scepter and robed in white. On each side of him sits a councilor, and behind them six soldiers under arms. The king is leaning over the front of the dais toward a woman in a green robe, who kneels before him with disheveled hair and outstretched hands. In the center is a three-legged table, like a butcher's block, upon which lies an infant, who is held in a recumbent position, in spite of his struggles, by a woman wearing a turban.

In September, 1566, Mr. Aldrichsolil his interest to Mr. \V. C. Ralston, then the president of the Hank of California; Mr. Bishop becoming sole partner in the following year. In May, 1875, Mr. John 11. I'aty was admitted to partnership, and, in September, 18S1, Mr. Samuel M. Demon was also admitted, The bank opened August 17, 1858.

Stillnian, Macfarlane, Hrown, Dowsed, Deering, Fisher, Hustace and Calvert, are still in the service of the bank. Kaluna has been from the beginning, with short intervals of absence, the porter of the bank and the bank building. The first office of liishop A Co. was in the east corner of the Makee Block, where they occupied a room about 16x12, until, by a gradual absorption, the business required the use of one-half of the lower floor of the block. The establishment moved into its nresent handsome quarters in May, 1878. It had but three correspondents at the start, but has now agents in many of the principal parts of the world, the last one being Rothchilds in London. : A. Martin writes from Hilo as fol ows: "Frank W, Damon has visited Hilo. All whoknow him anil his work must be well aware that good is accomplished wherever he goes. A building has been rented here and fitted up for a Chinese meeting-house; and has beta opened with appropriate services. Rev. S. C. Damon and wife nave aided Iheir son greatly while al Hilo. On the evening of the 15th instant, there was a social gathering at the meetinghouse which was formerly occupied as a residence by Asa Clark, an old resident of Hilo. The building is large enough at present, but it is hoped a larger one will be required, and that a church and a school-room will be erected in time; at present, the school meet in the foreign church. At the social gathering, which was a large one, addresses were made by Rev. Mr. Damon, Rev. E. P. Baker, Le Loy and Frank Damon. At the close of the gathering, a good cup of tea, with cakes, were handed round. All friends believe much good will come from this effort, and the «n friends are numerous." Mr. J. �MARINE JOURNAL. ..

The shipping place is on the western side. Anchorage is good in 10 to 55 fathoms to about half-a-mile from the shore, with no outlying dangers, and as the prevailing windsare easterly, good protection is afforded to \essel». Current The current sets almost invariably to the westward, with more or less force, according to the strength of the trade wind. The latter, also, to some extent, influences its direction. The force may be estimated at alxmt a knot an hour. Prevailing winds are usually from east by north to east by south, and arc pretty legular from early in April to earl) in Decernl>er. In the other four months they are occasionally variable. Shipmasters are advised to make the island well to windward, as uiui h time may l>e lost in l>eating up against the wind and current, if once their \evsels get to leeward. Signal*, etc Ships are communicated with by the Commercial Code of Signals; and, on arrival of a wssel, Captain Mann, the manager of the island, who is a competent shipmaster, with an experience of several years aim Miy the islands, will go on Iward and give directions a- tn anchorage, etc. Shipment of Cargo—The guano is brought alongside within reach of ship's tackles in boat- provided by the shipper-.

TUB DEDICATION OK THUS RI.W ( Hl/KCH. " nil letter Sumlay, .August sth, W»l clay" for ihc I htistian <hine.se ul tins district, • the occasion being the formal dedication of the new church recently erected for them at Kainpihi. The lot of land was generously donated for the MMMSfI hy the Kohala Plantation Company, while the other planters generally without particularly mentioning names— have liherally Contributed to the building fund, which ha* reached the sum of $2,765. The Chinese here and in Honolulu have given $900; $100 was donated l>y the native church (Rev. Mr. Hond's), while foreigners generally, hut more particularly in Honolulu, have contributed generously for this worthy purpose. The entire cost of the church building and the adjacent parsonage is estimated at about $3,400—having a balance of a little over $600 to l>e provided for, which, it is hoped, there will be no serious difficulty in obtaining. The church building is 50 feet long, exclusive of vestibule and pulpit recess, by 26 feet wide. The ordinary seating rapacity is three hundred. The structure is a remarkably pretty one, the plans having been drawn by Mr. C. J. Wall, the Honolulu architect, and the work executed by Mr. Wong Hee, a Chinese builder, in as workmanlike and thorough a a manner as could have been done by the mechanics of any nationality. The style of the building is Gothic. The outside sheathing is oft. and g. boards set perpendicularly, and surfaced em both sides, ns all of the framework of the house is exposed within, but surfaced, and painted a somewhat light color, with darker trimmings, while all the rafters and braces overhead are painted dark. The shingles arc laid on t. and g. boards, with the surfaced side turned inward. The building is surmounted with a neat latticed belfry. On the west end is a portico, and on the east end is an alcove forming the pulpit, thus giving the audience-room the entiro Ihmlv of the clnirce. On either side ol the pulpit are two large tablets, some 4xB or thereabouts, facing the audience, the one containing the ten commandments, and the other the creed and doxology; and over the pulpit " Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." All in Chinese. Work remains to lie done to the pastor's house and to a waiting-room for women and ohildren. The parsonage is situated makai and westward of the church. All will be surrounded by a neat picket fence, and will be finished in about two weeks. The church membership at present numbers seventy-eight, under the pastorate of Mr. Kong Tet Yin. The members are mostly from the Basle and Khenish missions in China. On the day of the dedication, the little church was fairly crammed with representatives of three races—the Chinese, the Hawaiian and the Caucasian. It was interesting and impressive to note, that several familiar hymns— such as Coronation, All Hail the lower of Jesus' Name, From (Greenland's ley Mountains undthe Doxology—were sung in three different languages at the same time. It was a matter of surprise to see so many Chinese won.e-n present. There could not have been less than tifty; all were neatly ilressed, and one of them played quite skillfully on the parlor organ with which the church is provided. Among the audience were a number of foreign ladies of the district, who evidently took much interest in the proceedings. The interior e>f the church, in front of the desk and the desk itself, had been beautifully and tastefully decorated by these ladies with flowers and evergreens. The recess behind the desk or rostrum was occupied by the Rev. Or. Damon, Rev. Mr. Bond, Mr. F. \V. Damon and the Chinese colporteurs and evangelists, Messrs. Kong Tet Yin, Tien Ten Kei and Sit Moon. Rev. Mr. I louston, of the foreign church, came in later. The following was the programme of the dedication exercises: i. Atithcm—Thr Lord is my Shtphcrd.C'hincke Choir 1883 . .

It is for this jmrjiose, therefore, thai we are now assembled, that we may separate, by becoming rites, this house for the service <>f God. "Willi gratitude to Him, that Ilehasled our hearts to undertake this enterprise for the glory of His holy name, and for the help He has afforded us in collecting the funds necessary for its completion—here we stand before Him, anil together consecrate this building to the Worship of Jehovah that is, for the reading of His holy word, the proclamation of His gospel that purities the hear: of man, the service of song to His praise, and the observance eif the symbeilic ordinances kept by the Church of Christ, and for any other service pertaining to the worship of God, " And now, we consecrate and set apart this house—nt all its several parts —this sacred desk, these seats, these walls -everything herein and belonging to this building, for the upbuilding of the kingdom of Christ in the hearts of men. And we beseech the Divine Spirit of Truth and Orace to abide here, forever and ever, and to prepare us, and all who may henceforth worship herein, for His better and holier service in the heaven to come. Hut we would not forget that this dedication has no worthy significance, unless the hearts of the worshippers are in the service, and so I call upon you all here present to give yourselves to God now, that your souls may be renewed and made obedient to God, and your bodies also, that they may be temples of the Holy Ghost, "Let us consecrate loGod, lure and ;«:.', the work of our hands and all the thoughts of our hearts, so that His kingdom niny speedily come and His will be done, by all men upon the earth, ami that God may lie gracious to — " us." In his remarks, Mr. Bond spoke of the arrival in Kohala, of the first band of Chinese Christians, who arrived as Contract laborers, and detailed the efforts to hold meetings with and secure a preacher for them and those who followed. During the services there were baptized by I ir. Damon, live men, receiving the names of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and IVtcr, and one woman Elisabeth) also the infant child of the pastor, receiving the namt of John. In the evening, the congregation in the foreign church, gave close attention to a very interesting talk by Dr. Damon concerning the Chinese in general, the condition of their missions in China, and their histoiy in these islands. He was convinced from all that he had read of history on the subject, that the "Sinim" of the Bible, of whom the prophet had foretold that they should all lie converted, was the "China" of the present day. "In conclusion," writes Mr. Sheldon, "it may be stated, that the money contributed by friends has secured the erection not only of the church and a most convenient and comfortable parsonage for the preacher, but also a large and airy school-room, to be used for a day-school and for Sunday and week-day Bible classes. There is in addition to this a pleasant room to be used in case of necessity by any sick, disabled or needy member of the postage.

'I'he regular meeting of the association fell, in the last month, on Thursday, the 16th. Owing to the absence of many of the officers, on vacations, the meeting was not held till the following Thursday. Only fourteen persons were present at the meeting, but the business done was of some interest, and was pushed forward without any dilly-dallying. Mr. C. Cooke occupied the chair, and Mr. E. C." Damon held the post of secretary pro tern. The treasurer reported that many accounts were still unpaid, and that money did not come in too fast for him to count it. Mr. P. C. Jones, Jr., reported, on behalf of the building and entertainment committees, that they had met, and agreed to hold a sociable entertainment in the hall, with ice-cream, etc., the proceeds to be devoted to the liquidation of a sum of about $500, still due for necessary alterations and repairs. Again, on behalf of the employment committee, he stated that good work was being done in this direction, as far as circumstances would permit. Mr. Burgess had been able to find employment for a good many carpenters and others, and he himself had found lucrative positions for three or four. A register was kept of all the applications for employees or employment, but it was found that the latter far outnumbered the former. The representatives of other committees had The chairman nothing to report. directed that reports should be handed in from various committees at the next meeting. It was resolved that the matter of continuing to support the Chinese colporteur should be referred to the committee on Chinese work, with instructions to report in favor of some definite action at the next meeting. The collection taken upamounted to $16.70. The vacations have taken away so many of our members that but little work seems to have been done in the past month. Those who have remained have labored faithfully in their various paths. It seems a pity that in the vacation, when so many strangers are to be seen, so little is done to ad- minister to their wants. The weekly The committee on the appointment social, at Miss Breeze's residence, on of a general secretary have written to Friday nights, supplies a means of San Francisco to our friends there, doing this to a great extent; and if it asking that a suitable man be sent were made more widely known that down.

This rest is only found in Jesus. Yet, many would seem to think that it is found in absenting oneself from church, and the due observance of those rites which draw us nearer to each other and to our God. It seems a pity that more energy could not be shown by members of the association in using the hall upstairs. It is so seldom used that it has been let for other than association purposes several times. This ought not to be. Some little entertainment once a week, a lecture on some interesting or instructive subject, a singing or elocution class, a concert —all these, and many more things, could be had with a little energy on the part of the younger members. Rouse up! Some weeks ago a professor in one of the N. E. Colleges thus wrote us: "It is regarded as a great thing here for one to have traveled so far westward as the Hawaiian Islands. lam the only person in town who has set his foot west of the Rocky Mountains.'' Of course it is all-important for professors in colleges and seminaries of learning to be at their posts in term time, still we do think that the trustees of the institutions would study the welfare of the students and the community at large if they should not only allow, but make provision for the professors and teachers to travel abroad in foreign lands. The world is not, as yet, fully explored. What a field to the Islands of Micronesia and the South Seas open for the naturalist, the philologists, the general tourist. The library and reading rooms of the association are getting better patronized every month. Habitual attendance is noticed on the part of some. This gratifying result will no doubt be largely increased when we have a good general secretary. B. Bond, M. D.—We learn that this gentleman, a son of the Rev. E. Bond, of Kohala, who has, during the past ten years, been pursuing his college and medical studies in the United States, has arrived by the last mail steamer from California, and that he expects to enteT upon the practice of his profession in Kohala. Dr. Damon has been away at the opening of the Chinese Church at Kohaladuring the month, but has returned. He reports the most gratifying results of the labors in that portion of God's Return Borrowed Books.—Some months ago some one borrowed from the editor a centennial volume of the Friend, bound in Russia.

There is no subject in which we take more delight than in watching the growth of schools and colleges, and observing their wide-spread influence over the world. S. N. Castle, Esq., has furnished us an interesting article upon the growth and influence of Oberlin College, in Ohio, copied from the San Francisco Bulletin of July 25th. If our limits would allow we should copy it without abbreviation. It recalls a pleasant visit we made to Oberlin in the Spring of 1876, when hurrying forward to be present at the opening of the Centennial, in Philadelphia. Having been familiar with the peculiar origin of Oberlin College, and the heroic career of President Finney, and having also a personal acquaintance with Doctor Fairchild, now its honored president, it is with unfeigned satisfaction that we read whatever is published respecting Oberlin which has contributed so essentially to mould the characters and shape the destiny of some 20,000 young men and young women, who have been there educated during the past half century, among them some of our own island young students. Probably no college in America, during the war of the rebellion, exerted an influence more eminently patriotic and loyal than Oberlin, we will not except Vale or Harvard. In reviewing what Oberlin has accomplished, we do not forget that the rich men of Ohio and America have allowed that noble institution to Struggle along with a limited endowment, and it has not been until recently that funds have begun to flow into the treasury of the college. We hope hereafter the institution will be more liberally supported. A Notable Chinese Bridge.— Among the notable bridges in the world is the one at Langang, China. It crosses an arm of the China sea. This structure is some five miles long, and has not less than 300 arches. Over the pillar of each arch reclines a lion made out of a single block of marble, and yet 21 feet long. The roadway of this bridge is 75 feet wide. Island Views.—We would call special attention to the fine and choice* exhibit of island views at William's photographic establishment. We have looked on an album recently filled from their collection, and can pronounce it quite equal to views taken in other lands. See his advertisement U. S. S. WACHUSETT. MATERNAL INFLUENCE. We have been permitted to peruse an interesting letter written by Mr. James Butterworth on board this vessel, giving an interesting narrative of the cruise of the vessel since she left Honolulu. They had visited the Samoan, Society and Marquesan Islands, where the officers were kindly welcomed by missionaries and others. He refers to meeting at the Marquesan Islands with a son of our Hawaiian While missionary, Rev. Mr. Kakela. at this group the officers visited the Typee Valley, made famous by Herman Melville and found the scenery as beautiful as portrayed in the pages of that fascinating volume. At both the Marquesan and Society Islands, Mr. Butterworth speaks of having met the French Protestant missionaries and of their kind welcome. Bound volumes of the Friend were found to contain much valuable inforformation in reference to the South Seas. The VVachusett was bound from Tahiti to Callao, and would probably remain on the South American coast for some time. Letters will reach the vessel if sent to care of Navy Paymaster, San Francisco. We copy the following paragraph from the sermon preached by the chaplain, at the Bethel, Sabbath morning, September 23rd, the text, Mark, iv : 28. " First the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear." language fails to express my ideas of the im|K>rtance of parental instruction. The child must necessarily have many teachers, before he is fitted for life's duties, but in the order of Providence, the parent is the first teacher. The mother stands first upon the list. If we may, in accordance with the spirit and meaning of the parable under consideration, compare the mind to the soil of the garden, the mother is appointed by God to cast in the first seed. "So is the Kingdom of Heaven, as if a man cast seed into the ground." The following touching tribute of an American Senator will illustrate my idea remarked the late Hon. T. H.

The deceased was formerly commander of the Morning Star, succeeding Captain Moore. t He was also for many years commanding whale-ships out of New He comlxmdon, having made twelve voyages. menced going to sea in 1823. and continuing in the whaling service until 1054. During 1858-60 he was in command of the Morning Star. Since that period he h:.s been mostly engaged in business on shore. During the late year he was an acting-master and engaged in important duties on the blockading squadron. During the last few years he has been a custom house officer. Captain Brown was a decidedly Christian man, and was ever recognised as s"ch, supporting all good enterprizes. His temperance principles led him to be outspoken. In the Sabbath School and church he was a We take pleasure in complying most useful member. the above memoranda from a long communication just received from his son John F. ttrown, who accompanied his father when in command of the Morning Star.

When the vessel was sailing on one of her voyages among the Micronesian Islands there was the cry "A man overboard." He was seen sinking, as the vessel was speeding along on her way. In an instant Captain Brown plunged overboard and rescued the sinking lad, and to his utter surprise, when rising to the surface he discovered it was his own son.

The most destructive earthquake of which any record has been preserved is that which devastated Antioch, A. D. 526, killing people. That most unfortunate of Syrian cities has been earthquake-visited many times before. In 115 A.D., it was nearly destroyed, the Emperor Trajan narrowly escaping with his life. One of the earliest recorded earthquakes is mentioned in the Bible as happening in Syria during the reign of Ahab, 900 B.C. In the year 250,000 31 8.C., the Judean earthquake which happened contemporanosusly with the battle of Actium was said by Josephus to have killed 10,000 persons, and to be greater than any then recorded. 1883. AUSTRALIAN SUBSIDY. It is now pretty well ascertained that the government of New South Wales does not intend to co-operate in a contract for conveyance of mails between Australia and California, after the year 1883. This determination in a measure places the entire responsibility of maintaining the service upon the colony of New Zealand, subject, however, to such aid as may be afforded by the United States when congress meets in the ensuing December. We are gratified to learn that the colony of New Zealand is outspoken in this matter, and declares an intention to renew the contract upon its own responsibility. Such being the case, it is the duty of the executive of that country, which no doubt they will carefully regard, to see that all colonies benefitting by the California mail and passenger traffic shall receive benefits therefrom in proportion to the material support which may be extended toward its maintenance. This is not only just and fair, but reasonable, and if New South Wales, from any mistaken idea of economy refuses to co-operate, the New Zealand Government is certainly not bound in any way whatever to make Sydney the terminus of its route, especially when by steaming from New Zealand to Melbourne there is every probability of increasing to a very great extent the passenger traffic of the line, This deviation from the present route would no doubt influence the contractors considerably in tendering for the service, and is well worthy of serious considerntion, especially as the New Zealand Government desire economy combined with efficiency, and every allowance made by the contractors will directly benefit that colony solely. Melbourne is unquestionably the grand centre from which all travellers from adjacent colonies take ther departure, and should the course we now suggest be abolished, the contractors will very soon discover that the change from Sydney to Melboure as a terminus is productive of solid pecuniaay gain. We hope, however, that the importance of the trade with Sydney will justify the maintenance by the contractors of a branch line from Sydney to Auckland. San Francisco Merchant.

This was held, Thursday evening, at the Hall ; president Judd in the chair. Prayer was offered by Dr. Damon. After the reading of the minutes, reports were made. The most important subject under discussion, related to the best manner of utilising the hours of Sabbath afternoon. After a free expression of opinion by several members, it was unanimously decided that on the first Sabbath of this month at -3 p.m. should commence a series of public services at the Y. M. C. A. hall, to be conducted by the Rev. Mr. Cruzan. These would be conducted with special reference to the young men of this city. Another important subject was discussed, the necessity for renewed efforts to promote the cause of temperance. On this question, P. C. Jones, Esq., led off in some spirited remarks, and as a result it was decided to hold this week, on Thursday evening, a grand temperance gathering at the Y. M. C. A. hall, Messrs. Cruzan, Jones, and Jackson were appointed to conduct the meeting and secure speakers. Mr. Hall, on the entertainment committee, reported that an ice-cream festival would soon be held. Mr. F. W. Damon, on the Chinese committee, reported that since April no call had been made upon the treasurer for the usual monthly appropriation, as no suitable colporteur could be secured for the Island of Kauai, but he hoped on his return from China that the subject would be taken up with renewed energy. A collection of $23.15 was taken up, and meeting adjourned after prayer had been offered by the president. New Zealand. They are mostly labouring in the mines. The Presbyterians have employed a missionary to His most inlabor among them. teresting reports appear in the Monthly Presbyterian, published in Dunedin. The name of scholarly misssionary He was sent to is Alexander Don. Canton, to learn the language before commencing his work. Respecting the language of China, and its study, he thus writes to F. W. Damon : "How small one feels in contact with this grand old language, which has grappled with such as Morrison, Williams, Legge, and Chalmers ! The advice of one beginner to another is study regularly: You will have strange experiences in the way of your thinking about your progressing, but if you study regularly you will progress really. By no means hold the language cheap; rather look upon overcoming main difficuties as a thing to be reached 30 or 40 years hence. A knowledge of the colloquial sufficient to enable one to preach the simple story of the Cross will not take long, but if you want to become a Chinaman as much as you can, then read their classics, and converse with them on other subjects besides religion. Wrestle away then ; and " may your shadow never grow less." Your words are apt: it is a mighty tongue; but consider what a mighty i>eople it represents ; and what a mighty influence the' race must have on the world's future." Rev. Dr. Mark Hopkins tells us of a mother who sent four sons into the world to do for themselves, taking from each of them, as they went, a pledge not to use intoxicating drinks, profane language, or tobacco before he was 21 years of age.

The society has been running a retail store in Nuuanu street, but that has been sold out and $2,500 of their funds invested in a valuable piece of land in Kalihi Valley. The society made its first investment of $400 in the purchase of a fine square in the new cemetery, costing $500 which has recently been fenced at a cost of $200. The society has aided this year the pastor of the Honolulu Chinese church by the appropriation of $100, and the Kohala pastor by $25. Indigent members in sickness and misfortune are aided. This association is a good illustration of Chinese economy, order, and thrift, worthy of imitation on the part of their Anglo-Saxon brothers. CHRISTIAN WORK AMONG THE CHINESE AT KOHALA. After applying for primary books, Miss Turner, teaching in the Government school, thus writes "We have now a class of nineteen Chinese, and I never enjoyed the work better than now. One thing, we have such a nice cosy church, and we feel that we are perfectly independent. The work to me seems more promising than ever before. I am delighted to see the bright happy faces of the Chinese girls. We are now learning the Gospel hymns in English. As they have them in their own language, and a supply of books they are not long in catching the Then, too, we have the organ, tunes. which is a great help. We often stop after the Sabbath school to practise the songs, and they enjoy it. Our work among the Hawaiians has begun; and we are well and prospering." The Rev. Mr. Bond, thus writes: "All honor to the Woman's Board for their generously coming up to the duty of the hour. It delights me to hear of the prosperity of the Chinese work in Hilo." The Munich Academy of Science has appointed Professor O. C. Marsh, of Vale College, the well-known paleontologist, a member of the academy. : — � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The literature of China, is overwhelming in extent, embracing books of all descriptions, relating to history, astronomy, geography, arts, biography, language and the wide circle of literature.

The author arrived in the East as a Missionary towards the end of 1839. He commenced the study of Chinese, before leaving England, under Prof. Kidd, of the University at London. For nearly 20 years, he was engaged in mission work in China, before he undertook the publication of a Translation of the Chinese Classics.

We hope the tide is turning. : To the English reader, of Professor Legge's great work, the various notes and Prolegomena are the most valuable part of the volumes; in them will be found the history of China and the classical writings. It appears, that according to Professor Legge's statement during the Ts'in dynasty, B. C. 480—22i, the "literary monuments were destroyed by fire, in order to keep the people in ignorance," but that during a subsequent dynasty, that of the Han dynasty—B.C., 139—86, there was a restoration of the cluneal writings, so that "the classical books of China conic down from at least a century before our Christian Era, substantially the same as we have them at present." This is a highly important statement, and hence the reader of this translation ma) feel that he is not perusing books stir rcpctitously imposed upon the world. The contents of these volumes, for the most part, are then the intellectual food upon which the m llions of China have been feeding and nourished, during the past 2,000 years. No lover of mankind, no true Scholar, no Christian, can look upon, or read these volumes with indifference. The most prominent of the. original authors of these volumes, is Confucius, respecting whom remarks the Rev. Mr. Fiber, a German Protestant missionary, now laboring in China, "Confucius is the Chinese ofthe Chinese the greatest personage of the largest Empire of the world; and he has exerted the greatest influence, where numbers are taken into account, ofany man who ever lived!" Professor .Legge has written an interesting life of Confucius and other Classical Chinese authors. Our limits will not allow us, to go more minutely and elaborately into an exposition of these volumes but we cannot refrain from commending them to the reading of all who desire to cultivate acquaintance with this remarkable people and their deeply interesting history. We fail to see why their history and literature are less worthy of study, than those of other nations of antiquity.

A committee of twenty was then raised, and they are proceeding with the arrangements for the proper commemoration of the day. We have no doubt that thousands of ministers will comply with the suggestion to preach a sermon on the occasion. The iith day of November will be the Sabbath, and on that day the sermons will be preached. The German Government will publish a complete edition of Martin I uthers works by way of celebrating the fourth centennial of his birth. They are estimated to make twelve volumes, two of which will probably be ready by his birthday, Nov. 10, the remainder following at the rate of three a year. N. Y. Observer, October i ith 1883 AS BUSY AS A BEE. JUDD After the music the assemblage was informally called to order by Chief Jus- tice Judd, who addressed the meeting as follows: On behalf of the Trustees of Oahu College' and its patrons I welcome you, Mr. President, and your corps of assistants, to our island kingdom and to the charge of this institution of learning. Oahu College, though small, wher> the number of its pupils are considered, and weak in endowment, is by no means in its infancy. Founded by our fathers over forty years ago, it antedates the discovery of gold and the consequent development of the Pacific states of America. It has clone good work and has a noble record. But of late years this institution has suffered somewhat by the commercial spirit which has come over our community in consequence of its rapid strides in material For many of our youth are prosperity. possessed with this spirit and content themselves with what is called practical knowledge" or a business education." The spirit called by Andrew White mercantilism," largely prevails in our nearest neighbor, the American Republic, and is portentous to its institutions. But we desire that Oahu College shall exorcise this spirit and be a standing protest against that utilitarianism which sees in our valleys, plains and hill-sides only so many acres of cane land, rice fields or pasture, which finds in our magnificent mountains nothing but water sheds for supplying irrigating ditches and in our ancient forests only firewood at so much a cord at the furnace mouths ; or which values men as only so much muscle to hoe cane. We desire that in these classic shades shall be stimulated a thirst for that higher development of the intellect and heart, which will not content itself with a knowledge of book-keeping, and which has a higher goal than the capacity toenter a store at seventeen years of age and earn $60 a month, and which will not consider the time before a youth can enter the lists in the eager competition for wealth as time lost, and which calls others than its millionaires the great men of a country. There is something nobler and higher than the material interests of a nation. The training of the mind and soul by which men become good citizens, of pure morals, disciplined minds, and cultivated tastes, tends more to make a nation great than hordes of immigrants and vaults stocked full of silver coin. If Oahu College, well endowed and well patronized by our country, shall make its graduates, ihe future fathers and mothers of this kingdom, persons of such character, it will be worth more to this nation than a standing army, a fleet, or all it? laws, or its court-houses or gaols. We want more of that ambition for a liberal education which sent the Lymans, the Alexanders, and the Lyons' of twenty-live years ago to the field as surveyors to earn money with which to go through college, and we look to you, sir, to stimulate such a spirit. We want our l)oys and girls to l>e contented with nothing less than the best, and if it cannot be got here then to continue the pursuit of knowledge even if it take them to Harvard or Vale or Ann Arbor, and to Vassar or Wellsly. Mr. President, I have the greater satisfaction in welcoming you because you come from my own second alma mater, under the elms of New Haven. May your administration have as its ideal the symmetrical development of the youth placed in your charge into perfect manhood and womanhood " " " "As busy as a bee " is one of our most common expressions, but there are few people who know how much labor the sweet hoard of the hive represents. Every head of clover contains about sixty distinct flower-tubes, each of which holds a bit of sugar not exceeding the five-hundredth part of a grain.

Three of Luther's hymns, to be found in the " Hymns and Songs of Praise," will be sung, viz.: No. 184, 188, and 842. The last, commencing, "A Safe Stronghold Our God is still," is to be sung in all German churches, by special request of the Emperor. The sermon will have special reference to Luther's work as a Reformer, Translator of the Bible, and a Promoter of Education.

All vessels )>ound thither trom the Western Hemisphere pass either to the north or south of Sumatra, entering through the Strait of Singapore or the Straits of Sunda. Steam vessels bound through the Suez Canal and Indian Ocean use the former, and those rounding the Cape of Good Hope the latter. The Strait is about seventy miles long, sixty miles broad at the southwest end, narrowing to thirteen miles at the notheast end. Half way through the strait, equidistant from the two shores, was a groupof threeislands, the largest of which was Krakatoa, four and a half miles long and three miles broad, its volcanic summit reaching to a height of 2,633 feet above the sea level, about ten times higher than the surrounding sea was deep. Between it and Java, although the floorof the strait was uneven, the channel was clearofdangers on the Sumatra side were several islands and rocks, the two largest of which, Bezee and Sebooko, rose respectively 2,625 feet and 1,416 feet above the sea. As far as our present information goes, it appears that this chain of islets on the Sumatra side of thestrait has beenadded to by at least sixteen volcanic craters rising within the eight miles of water that formerly seperated them from Krakatoa. With so enormous an upheaval, it would not be unnatural to expect the surrounding floor to be depressed ; but when we learn that the whole island of Krakatoa containing about eight thousand million cubic jards of material, har fallen in and disappeared below the sea, the magnitude of the convulsion becomes more apparent, and it is easier to realize the formation of the destructive volcanic wave that was thrown on the neighboring shores.- [Exchange. = * ct£ 2 g2 c £ ° S l *-= 8 E v-"g E ~c *M.Ej 5q S It'l ! > 2 v">- s*^*^ '[jo.a - 3 i ° iJc'S£r3= and The With f & 3 • 93 <-» i 23 — U GRIEVE LEWIS- In Honolulu, September 27, 1883, at the residence of Mr. lames Auld, Emma Rev, J.

JONES' BOOK-KEEPING CLASS. I,ast Monday evening we chanced into the V.M.C.A. building, and there we found Mr. Jones (with coat off) standing before a black-board endeavoring to illustrate the principle of debit and credit, to a class of over 30 young men. The room was quiet, and all eyes were fixed upon the figures as chalked down by this active member of the flourishing house of C. Brewer & Co. "If your books are kept correctly they must balance," he said. This reminded us ofa visit we once made to the counting-house of C. Brewer & Co, away back, in the 40's. Mr. Baker was then book-keeiier of the firm. He said to us, " I have been working two weeks for two cents." is that ? " " Why," he replied, " How am bound to make my books I " balance." The next time we met him he had found the error, and was rejoicing. Recently, we saw the statement that an error of a few cents had been found in the army accounts at Washington, and the clerks had been compelled to run over the books, extending back for months. Just so is it,young man, with sin. You may think it a trifle, but having once been committed, it must be pardoned— or ruin follows. The Bible says, "The soul that sinneth, it shall die. — Christ's blood can alone wash away to drop sin." HONOLULU THE BEST PLACE TO REFORM. This is the remark of a young man who is endeavouring to reform his vicious habits. There are those ready to take any such men by the hand and encourage them to lead a better life. Not only gentlemen but ladies come to the rescue of any one desirous of leaving the pathway of sin and entering the way that leads to happiness here and hereafter. — MartinLuther. His 400th birthday is to be celebrated on the 10th of this month, throughout Germany and the Christian world. What more worthy of study than the life and labors of this great and good man. We recommend all the members of the Y. M. C. A. of Honolulu, to read the Life of Luther. Search encyclopoedias and libraries for facts in regard to his life and character. D'Aubigne's History of the Reformation is a most capital book, if anyone desires a clear and comprehensive view of his remarkable career. It contains a history of the times, as well as the life of the great reformer and his associates. The late Professor Sears, agent for the Peabody Fund has written an admirable life of the great Reformer. All the histories of Germany contain notices of this remarkable man. See a good notice of Luther in Harper's Weekly for September 22nd. All late European and American papers abound with notices of Luther. Read them, and cut out enough to make a good Martin Luther scrap-book. Mr Editor, —As I sat listening to Mr. Cruzan's address, Sabbath afternoon, at the Y. M. C. A. hall, I was led to a train of very sober reflections. His text, Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest." I said to myself, "If I had not accepted that precious invitation I would do so now." Yes, now! Why ? Because, during the past period of more than fifty years I have experienced the joy and happiness flowing from having accepted of that invitation. I know by experience that Christ does not deceive his followers. I know that true happiness is nowhere else to be found but in communion with God through Jesus Christ." With the apostle Paul, I can say, "I know in whom I have believed, and that he will keep that which I have committed unto him." An Old Man.

The law is based upon the principle of high licenses. We have no hesitation in asserting that Dr. Scott of Lebanon, Ohio imbibed his ideas upon this subject, while U. S. Consul in Honolulu, where liquor retail dealers, are obliged to pay $1,000 per annum for a liquor license. It was originally Dr. Judd's xdea, embodied inlaws of the Hawaiian Kingdom, more than thirty years ago. Other ideas, are now passing current in the United State and are intewoven with the laws ofthe great Republic, which were first enunciated on the Hawaiian Islands. Such are certain features of the present laws relating to the treatment of seamen. This point we made apparent years ago. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Persons recently arriving on the islands ask, what is the meaning of Hawaiian Independence? Why is the 28th of November observed as a holiday? It came about in this wise. Forty years ago, on the 28th of November, 1843, England and France, by their highest official representatives in the city of London, signed the following-official declaration published in the Friend of May Ist, 1844, because this was the only English newspaper printed in this kingdom. By referring to the pa[>erofthat date this document will be found printed in English, French and Hawaiian languages: DECLARATION. Her Majesty, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Majesty, the King of the French, taking into consideration the existence in the Sandwich Islands of a Government capable of providing for the regularity of its relations with Foreign Nations, have thought it right to engage, reciprocally, to consider the Sandwich Islands as an Independent State, and never to take possession, neither directly or under the title of Protectorate, or under any other form, of any part of the Territory of which they are composed. The undersigned, Her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the Ambassador Extraordinary of His Majesty, the King of the French, at the Court of London, being furnished with the necessary powers, hereby declare, in consequence, that their said Majesties take reciprocally that engagement. In witness whereof, the undersigned have signed the present declaration, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms. Done, in duplicate, at London, the twenty-eighth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-three. (Signed), Aberdeen, l. s. St. Aulaike. The above document may be styled the Hawaiian Declaration of Independence, although it is merely a solemn declaration on the part of England and France "reciprocally to consider the Sandwich Islands as an Independent State, and never to take possession neither directly nor under the title of a protectorate, or under any other form, of any part of the territory of which they are composed." This solemn declaration has, for the period of forty years, been solemnly observed There is no doubt that this mutual declaration on the part of England and France, grew out of the mutual jealousy between the two great nations, for each had encroached upon the independence of this island kingdom. France had come and taken away $20,000 in 1839, and England had taken away their flag in February, 1843, but both nations subsequently restoredwhat they had taken. England restored the flag on the 31st of July, 1843, and France restored the money in 1845, These results were brought about by patient and long protracted negotiations, and recently Mr. Marshall's article entitled "An Unpublished Chapter in Hawaiian History," published in Harper's Monthly, related to this subject. To show how important and binding this document has been, we have but to refer to the visit of a French ship of war in August, 1849, when the commander came on shore with a company ofmarines and sailors, spiked the guns of the fort and flourished about generally for several days, and then returned on shipboard, but he was very careful not to haul down the Hawaiian flag. Her commander requested Governor Kekuanoao to lower the flag, but the shrewd governor replied that if he wished the flag hauled down he must do it himself. [See Mr. Wylie's Protest in Friend for September, 1849.] It was a pet project on the part of the friends of Hawaiian Independence, to have secured the United States Government to join in this Declaration of Independence published above. There is a traditional saying of the Honourable Daniel Webster, then Secretary of State*, to whom the Hawaiian Commissioners applied for his signature to stand beside those of Aberdeen and St. Aulaire, which is worth preserving. Said Mr. Webster, I do not see why, as Secretary of State, I should attach my name to any such document. The United States has no occasion to guarantee that it will not take what does not belong to them. When we want land we buy and pay for it." If the great nations had always observed that rule there surely would have been much less war and bloodshed. We trust that the Hawaiian kingdom, which has maintained its independence for the last forty years, may continue to do so for forty and more years to come. Its perpetuity depends upon its moral integrity and its strength upon its honest purpose to do right by all " classes and nationalities within itsrealm. Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." " JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH ALONE, AND PURGATORY. Many persons are bewildered in their ideas upon the Doctrine of Justification by Faith, and wonder that so much stress should have been placed upon it by Luther and all adopting Luther's views upon this subject. This was the pivot upon which the whole scheme of the Lutheran Refoimation turned. Luther was utterly opposed to the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory and of praying for the dead. We copy the following paragraph, from the October, Number of the "Biblo-theca Sacra":—" There is a very extensive misapprehension respecting the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory, and the practice of Catholics of praying for the dead. From much which has of late appeared in print, it would seem that the idea is prevalent that the Catholic doctrine of purgatory in some way softens their belief respecting eternal punishment. This however is by no means the case. The Catholic doctrine of purgatory has relation to the doctrine of eternal punishment. Puris for the of the gatory purification and in the Catholic ; regenerate system the belief in purgatory is made necessary by their rejection of justification by faith. The Protestant doctrine that through faith sinners are justified freely by God's grace, leaves no room for purgatory. A GOOD RESULT TO BE DERIVED FROM THE CELEBRATION OF THE LUTHER COMMEMORATION. It will necessarily lead to historical and doctrinal reading. Of course, political writers will see much in this subject for comment relating to the history of Europe during the past 400 years, but the great benefit to be derived from this celebration of Luther's birthday, will be that, thereby the people will take to reading the history of religious and doctrinal subjects. The ]>eople, in other words will stop and think, why all this movement, this discussion, this controversy, this battle of opinions ? The Revision of the English Bible, led to Bible reading and Bible study, while Lutheran commemoration will lead to historical and doctrinal reading and study. Go to God as a sinner, if you question your right to go in any other character; he always receiveth sinners. �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER THE HOME OF MARTIN LUTHER. BY REV. P. N. ZEBRISKIE, D. D. Luther's home at Wittemberg was a 1883. He was throughly contented with his lot, and overflowed continually with thankfullness and keen enjoyment of God's most commons and daily mercies. The world, withersoever he turned his eyes, was full of miracles, miracles of mercy which the blind world |>eceives not, but whereat those who love God " raptuously rejoice and cannot enough wonder and praise. " The union of love and fear which he felt towards God as his Father is illustraied in the following, which is characteristic as it is charming, and illustrative of his own paternal relations with his children. " When lam sitting and writing, my little son Hans sometimes sings a little song to me, the while ; if he makes it too loud I tell him so, and then he still sings on, but makes it softer, crowing on with a sweet little subdued voice, slyly watching me all the time.

He supplied his own table with vegetables and fruit, and —what was considered quite as important—with flowers. He boasts of his melons, squashes and cucumbers, and he writes to a friend that he " shall be crowned with roses " if he will come •and see him. There was one gift which he said he could never decline —seeds for his garden. He constructed arbors, and kept a pretty fountain playing in the midst of"the garden. In that home he was himself its '• fountain of joy. He had his fits of depression, for his health was never good, his labors was exhausting, and his responsibilities crushing; but le seldom showed' them there.

Sweet friend, your feet have reached the shining land That lies 'twixt daylight's realms and shadowy night; The soft warm tints of sunset tint the strand. And all the air around is liquid light. Afar, you trace the long and devious HayGod knew 'twas best, that He your steps should guide, Till close beside the portals of the day You tarry now, for them to open wide. Like pearls thick strewn, the milestones glistening stand— Rare five amlcighty, granted to hut few— While memories dear, a holy cherished hand, Around each one are clustered, ever new. Sometimes upon the mountain's breezy height, With glad and bouyant heart, your steps rung clear; Sometimes within the valleys low, by night, With breaking heart, oft tremblingand in fear, You staggered 'neath the heavy load you bore. But God's own hand through light[aiul shade held fast, And vale and mountain, plain and ocean o'er, The quiet eventide is reached at last. Lo Ihere, while tints on earth anil sky increase In glowing beauty, Heaven is nearer grown; The very air itself is full of peace; Your path with sweetest blessings now b strewn. Ah! how the crosses, borne in years gone by, Are lightening as you near the golden shore, For every pang endured, for every sigh, God will requite you now, and evermore. The loved ones, whom God led a nearer way. To the fair home we hope to gain at last, Who, climbing some sharp crags of pain, one day, With rapture found their sojourn here was past, Are waiting, where the deeper twilight lies, In patience, till your long sweet day is spent, To bear you upward, through the shining skies, To dwell forever with the Lord, content. But loving hearts that beat on every side, Would fain prolong this lovely sunset hour Through many years, Oh! may you long abide The cherished presencein your earthly bower. And when the soft still hush of twilight falls. And your dear busy hands consent to rest, We never can efface from memory's walls, Your beautiful calm sojourn in the West.

Durant was the most distinguished lawyer in miscellaneous practice in Boston Mass. He had succeeded to very much of the business of Rufus Choate, then recently deceased, and though by no means the eloquent man that was Mr. Choate, he was more fertile in expedients for gaining cases, and Many was more seldom defeated. great cases and hard cases were put into his hands to conduct, and his reputation in the management of the most desperate criminal trials was His income was enormous, great. and in the midst of this flush of prosperity he chanced upon a suit in which he made a colossal fortune at one stroke. It was a case in which was involved patent or appliance connected with the manufacture of India rubber blankets. He gained the case, and took his pay in India rubber stock. It was plain that this was to be good property, and Mr. Durant was so convinced of it that, in connection with a few other gentlemen, he purchased all the rubber blanket stock in the country, and held in his hands the patent essential to the manufacture. Besides, right on the heels of this the war broke out, and brought with it a call for India rubber blankets for the army that was almost without limit. But now occurred an event which wrought a complete revolution in the man, and changed the entire course of his life. His son, an interesting young man, to whom he was devotedly attached, suddenly died. The father was deeply affected, and with the occurrence the world seemed to have lost all its attractions to him. He left his old course of life, united with the orthodox Congregationalist church of his neighborhood, and began himself the life of an evangelist. Never was a man more earnest and devoted. Abandoning the law forever, and retaining his connection with business only to obtain money for Christian ends, he has labored early and late since that period —for now several years—in Christian work. He lectures and preaches whenever a call for him, and he gives his time to missionary effort often when not speaking. A few years ago, he he projected Wellesley College.

"THE HAWAIIAN MONTHLY." We have long thought that there was needed a Monthly or Quarterly, somewhat different from any publication now issued in Honolulu. Perhaps Dr. Roguis will supply the public demand. Our weeklies and dailies are too ephemeral. Our monthlies are too limited in their range of discussion. I )r. Rogers seems to have a good idea, and wo shall be glad to see it carried out. The old Hawaiian Spectator, was published Quarterly, but it was really one of the best publications ever printed in Honolulu, and yet it appeared in 1838, and 1839. It is now quoted as authority, and only recently Prof. Bryce, referred to it in our hearing, as a most admirable publication. The reading public desires something of the same nature, more solid and thoughtful than much issuing from the Hawaiian Press ; we have good writing talent in our foreign community, and shall hope to see it utilized. If I )r. Rogers succeeds in calling forth this talent, and combines it with his own, then the Hawaiian Monthly, may prove a '" Saturday Review," or " Nation." Setter*. A M E L L I M.

Scarcely a Sabbath has tome around when public services have been omitted. (Probably this chapel has been closed during the half century as lew Sabbaths as any other house of public worship on our globe.) From such enquiries as I have made, Mrs. Joseph Carter is the only person now living in Honolulu who was present on the day of dedication. Only four days previously on the 24th of November—she was united in marriage with Captain Joseph O. Carter, by the Rev. John Diell. Outside the Missionary circle, this was the first marriage between two foreigners that was ever solemnized so' far as I am able to learn. The Rev. John Diell officiated as chaplain, from his arrival until December, 1840, when he embarked with his family, in consequence of his protracted ill health, and died at sea, January 18, 1841. During his long continued sickness and decline, he made a voyage around the globe, the Rev. Mr. Tinker officiating as chaplain during his absence, to the great acceptance of the foreign community. F'rom all I have been able to learn respecting Mr. [Hell's labors, be was a most excellent chaplain and faithful gospel minister. He was abundant in labor for both seamen and the foreign community. As the pioneer chaplain, bis memory deserves to be kept in continual remembrance. A monument to his memory was erected in Nuuanu Cemetery by the order of his widow in 1052. She still survives, enjoying years of happiness among her children and grandchildren, and a wide circle of friends in the States of New York and Virginia. Only a few days since I received a letter from her, written in her usual cheery and hopeful tone, at the age ot 76. She was expecting to spend the winter in Hamilton, New York, where resides her youngest daughter, married to Rev. P. M. Spear, I).I)., Professor of Greek and Hebrew in Madison University. Her other three daughters have all been well married. These four daughters were born in Honolulu. One of her grandsons graduated from a college in Virginia, and is now a professor in a western college, and two other grandsons are preparing for college.

Dr. Spaulding, of the SeaThe man s Friend Society, were the speakers on that occasion. addresses of both these gentlemen made it plain that I was about to go forth as a missionary chaplain. But these gentleman made prominent the idea that the success of Gospel preaching among the heathen, was essentially promoted by the gathering of churches among foreigners and the preaching of the Gospel among seamen. "At this hour," remarked Dr. Armstrong, "the most formidable obstacle to the entrance of the Gospel in large portions of the heathen world, grows out of the wrongs inflicted and the mis chief wrought by ungodly men bearing the Christian name. Pass along the dark shores of benighted Africa visit the countless islands of Oceanica ; and you will find the sad illustrations of this remark." Dr. Spaulding. in delivering my instructions, thus remarked. "The particular field of your labors will be the port 0/ Honolulu ; and the special objects of your solicitude, prayers, and efforts will be the sons of the ocean. There, in that commercial and central position between the coasts of Asia and America, you are to stand erect as a minister of Jesus Christ.

At Honolulu you will be a citizen still of the land that gave you birth, and entitled to its civil protection.

Mr. Editor :— After writing "Finis" to that long series of "Rambles," which you were so good as to publish for many and many a month, you might have thought I should never trouble you again. Indeed it is a surprise to myself, for I felt then that my travelling days were over —but as you see, I am again "on the wing." This time I shall have nothing to say about all those historic lands which have been for centuries the glory of the Teuton and AngloSaxon, nor of those classic shores which clasp the blue Mediterranean in loving embrace, whose story is ever being told to willing ears, a magical enchanting tale, which never grows old. lam afraid that to some my new theme, China and the Chinese will not be very interesting.

Many of them I knew well—a few were Christians, a number have been at our schools, and all seemed to know me as the man who "talks about Jesus" on the Sandwich Islands. We were able to have every Sabbath a preaching service, in which a number seemed to take a most kindly interest, and man) opportunities were given of distributing a good deal of religious printed matter in the form of books and papers and pamphlets. Then we had a week-day school, conducted under difficulties, for the sea was sometimes a little uncertain. But on the whole we got on very nicely. Two very pleasant lady passengers, excellent specimens of our best American culture, training, and spirit gave me most sympathetic aid. I trust that along with the rudiments of English, these Chinese boys received many helpful hints and suggestions which may bear good fruit. A quieter, more contented lot of people it would have been hard to find. Pen up as large a number of our own nationality in the same narrow quarters and I fancy we should have had an immense amount of scolding and grumbling. I wondered constantly at their patience and happiness. For they were closely packed together and far from comfortable, at least as we should estimate comfort. And yet they seemed to get on with a few inches of sleeping room, a hard pillow and daily allowance ofrice. After all are we not spoiled by having too much? The Chinese passion for gambling manifested itself soon after we left Honolulu, and I am afraid some hard earned savings of years on our islands went into the pockets of professional sharpers. But I was glad to find that a very considerable number of Chinese had nothing to do with it, and some of the best of them heartily united witkv me in protesting against it. DEATH AT SEA. On the whole we were much favored in point of health, there being verylittle sickness on board. There were only two deaths, one that of a common laborer from Oahu, and the other from Kohala. During their last days much sympathy was manifested for them by their friends. The remains �of both were buried at sea. We hear sometimes that the Chinese are unemotional and lacking in sympathy, certainly those of us, who were with them when we committed to the deep the remains of their countrymen, were called upon to view them from another point. We first buried the man from Oahu. The officers and cabin passengers stood near by, and a little beyond was a large crowd of the Chinese, with quiet, respectful mien. I offered a prayer in English and Chinese, and the body of this Chinese laborer was launched into the bosom of the great lonely Pacific, and the grey waters closed over it forever. Sometime since I came to know a pleasant Chinaman from Kohala, but consumption had begun its fatal work upon him. I saw much of him. Most nobly did he battle with the dreadful disease. Life was precious to him. He was not averse to speaking upon religious topics, and I hope some light dawned upon his mind. Feeble though the light may have been, I would fain hope that the Master felt the touch of faith laid upon the hem of his garment and that it is well with Mochin.

About twenty years after the establishment of the Bethel efforts were made for the erection of the Sailor's Home. For a generation the two have been in active operation and co-operation. They have stood side by side, and have been mutual helps to each other, while their pecuniary support has been entirely separate. Both have been essentially aided by the constant advocacy which they have derived from the FfUEMD. The Home has been under the direction of a board of trustees, chosen from among the merchants and citizens of Honolulu, the Bethel has been under the direction of the members of the Bethel Church and the chaplain, representing the American Seamen's Friend Society, and the Fkiknij was started by the < haplain, and he alone has been, for forty years, its responsible proprietor. The wisdom of this arrangement is now more than ever manifest, for they have all three been carried along, kept free from debt and from friction. Whenever funds have been required for their support, those funds havebeen forthcoming from the foreign and seafaring community. So far as lam knowing to the facts, no complaint has ever been made, that funds thus contributed have been wasted or misapplied. The combined establishment of Bethel, Home and Friend, have been carried forward, on as prudent and economical o scale as it was possible. lam bold assert there has been no waste or misapplication of funds. During the entire existence of the Sailor's Home, the trustees have annually chosen myself as chairman of the executive committee, hence I knowhow almost every dollar has been contributed and expended. I will now remark, in reference to the Home, that almost an entire change has come over the community since its incorporation in 1854. The large whaling fleet has diminished from 200 and more ships annually, to the visits of only a very few, At present but very few seamen are discharged at Honolulu. The United States Government no longer sustains a hospital, while only a sick and disabled sailor is occasionally to be found, enjoying the excellent ar- commodations of the Queen's Hospital. Under these circumstances, the question may naturally and reasonably be asked, why, then, continue to support the Home ? I answer, if no home was built, I should not advocate raising funds to built up one, but as the Homeis built and now answers a very important purpose, hence I maintain it should be sustained. Seamen havenot ceased to visit this port, and never will. Including men-of-war's men, many hundreds resort to Honolulu annually. Seamen attached to merchant vessels and steamers are coming on shore continually Many of these men visit the Home to obtain reading matter and copies of the Bible in various languages. They resort here to write letters, and \isit the Reading Room and Depository. Here they aremet by the chaplain and his faithful colporteur, Mr. Dunscombe, whose labors among seamen and others during the last eighteen years havebeen most beneficial. Both the chap lain and his colporteur visit seamen on ship-board. Not only does the Home furnish a place of shelter for seamen sent hither sity for sustaining a good reading room in this part of the city remains tlie same now as in former years, and it ought not to be given up and I am resolved it shall not be. In no way can a small outlay be mure judiciously exl-'or $200 per annum I can pended, make the reading room most attractive and useful under Mr. Dunscomhe's superintendence. In view of our present circumstances as trustees of this institution I am going to recommend, as ihairman of the executive committee, that we take the necessary steps to raise the sum of five hundred dollars to repaint the Home and make some absolutely necessary repairs. In making this recommendation I would remark that I am going lo urge upon the friends of the Bethel that they raise an equal amount to repaint and repair that edifice. 1 think it highly proper and becoming that at least $1000 or more should be immediately raised in Honolulu by the friends and supporters of the Bethel and Home as a jubilee fund. I confidently hope that something more than that amount may be raised and the balance devoted to the support of the reading room for the coming year. lam not, in conclusion, going to offer a single remark upon the usefulness of the Bethel and Home in our island and city community. To myself it is a pleasant reflection 'hat for nearly thirty years the Home has been managed by good men and good women who have labored without salary, and depended upon a most precarious means of support. The difficulties and perplexities they havemet with are well known to myself but lam one unpublished to the world. who believes that good efforts for man's physical and spiritual good are never lost, hence the labors have not been in vain of such worthy people as Mr. and Mrs. Thrum, Captain and Mrs. Oat, Mr. and Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Whiting, Mr and Mrs. Dunscombe. Times and circumstances have changed. Our shipping interests have been revolutionized, but I hold that as long as the port remains a place of resort for the shipping ot this great ocean, this or some similar establishment should be sustained for the benefit of seamen and strangers. Samtjici. C. Damon, Chairman of Ex. Com. Honolulu, Dec. 20, 1883. by the various consuls to be boarded until they can ship or be sent to California, but the Home is a place of constant resort for laborers passing through Honolulu who are attached to plantations. Here they come to lodge and deposit their chests and trunks, and they find in Mr. Dunscombe a friend. More or less of this class of plantation laborers are constantly at the Home. During the past years plantation agents have sent whole families hither until they could be forwarded to their places of destination. Hence the Sailor's Home has become what they style in England a "Stranger's Rest." The Home is a most suitableplace for keeping on hand a general supply of Bibles and other reading matter. For these "and other reasons which I might offer, this institution should be lilierally sustained. Visiting the Home almost daily for the last twenty-five years, I can conscientiously plead lor its support, and I am willing to contribute pecuniarily and do all in my power to witness its perpetuation. The Y. M. C. A. Society for many years sustained a good reading room at the Home. With the erection of their At Oat's in Merchant street will be new and beautiful building they have found almost everything in the stationery line, and among them a.good asremoved the reading room.

The building committee stated that a contract had been made for the completion of the lower room left unfinished, and that when this was paid for, the committee hoped to render their final account, paying over a small balance to the credit of the society, and receive their final discharge. A special vote of thanks was passed to all who had contributed to make the fair such a success. The finance committee were of opinion that measures should be taken to appeal for such a change of the tax law as to secure exemption from the large amount ($120) paid this year. No other committees were prepared to report. The various evening classes, that have been organized, have proved popular and successful. Mr. P. C. Jones has begun his second course of lessons in book-keeping. Judge Judd has a class of twenty studying the Hawaiian language. Mr. Furneaux has just the class it was designed to secure of those wishing a knowledge of mechanical drawing which would be a help to them in their daily work. When the new room is finished and furnished, the effort ought to be made jto open other classes for evening study. There is evidently material enough for various classes if proper teachers can be secured. The new year opens with new and untried opportunities for the development of the work of the V.M.C.A.

What better can we do ? What more can we do ? These are questions we need to consider with a view to higher resolves and more persistent endeavors.

What effort can we make not only to save from intemperance, vice, and shame ; but to help on a better style of life, a higher type of Christian manhood ? : HAWAIIAN ALMANAC AND ANNUAL FOR 1884. For ten years this useful publication has made its regular appearance on the first of the new year. This year it comes freighted with a choice amount of valuable statistics and memoranda. Any one who wishes to keep informed respecting our island kingdom, should not fail to procure a copy, and if inclined, if possible he should procure all the former years and have them bound. A few years hence such a volume would be worth its weight in silver, if not in gold. On page 46th will be found interesting observations by the Rev. S. E. Bishop on the " Haze from Java." We befieve he was the first to publish in this part of the world the idea that the remarkable " after glow appearance" resulted from the Java eruption. We are glad to know that he is continuing his investigations upon this subject and writing for scientific journals abroad. College Catalogues.—It is always pleasant to glance over catalogues of schools, colleges and other seminaries of learning, hence we gratefully acknowledge a catalogue of Dartmouth College from Professor Hitchcock; a catalogue of Smith College, North Hampton from Miss Gale; a catalogue of Madison University from Mrs. Diell; a a catalogue of the State University of Wisconsin from Professor Holden. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The previous Governor was far from being a favorite with his countrymen here, and in his new position as Covernor of Mauritius, is beginning to exercise his authority in a manner which is not likely to make him popular there. The present Governor of Hongkong, Sir. George Howen, is a very genial and good-natured old gentleman, who has a fice and manner, calculated to win cv« n the hearts of his enemies if he has .my. He was once in New Zealand as < lovcrnor, lateral Mauritius. He paid a brief visit some years since to our islands and appears to retain a pleasant memory of the lew hours he spent there.

This is a time of searching anil sifting. The native Christians are subjected to the scoffs and jeers and insults of their heathen neighbors. On the streets they are pointed out as the "followers of Jesus," with derision and are re; arcled as false to their nation, their ancestors, tnc divinities of their native lan 1. They are told that the foreigners are to be driven away, their Christian guides and teachers to be removed, that they are to be slain and the faith they have learned to love more than life is to be stamped out in the Land of China. Much of this is idle talk and yet to the trembling little flock it seems terribly real. And, indeed, there is a reality in it, after all, and should war and confusion arise here the infant Christian church, hated by the heathen, might be called upon to witness, even to sealing its testimony with blood, to its faith in the Lord Jesus. Here in this great and pleasureloving city, with all its wealth and quaint oriental picturesqueness, I have found nothing so attractive as the little gatherings of humble Chinese Christians. Most of them are gathered from the lower classes of society. Here, as has almost always been the case, Christianity begins to work from the common people," upwards. The cultured and wealthy classes reject the religion of Jesus with scorn and contempt, as the Pharisees of old. The middle classes are absorbed in the cares ofthis world and see in the new faith only a foreignizing tendency. Here and there, mainly from the mass ot the people, and from the traveling millions, a few have been gathered, and are the firstfruits of that mighty spiritual harvest, which is yet to be brought in. In these days the Christians have been brought near to each other. Though their way is beset by peculiar and harrassing difficulties and dangers, they do not falter. I know there are people in the world who doubt that a Chinaman can become a sincere Christian. I wish they might see the Chinese Christians of Canton in these days, and I feel as if their mouths would be stopped. Here in China, Christianity has laid before it the mightiest task which it has had to grapple with since it conquered the heathenism of the Roman Empire, but it will be victorious, as it " �19 THE FRIF:ND, MARCH, 1884.

I sometimes walk down from where I am stopping to visit him. I walk through the very heart of Chinese life and heathenism to find him.

Thrum, Printer, 1884, Pp. lb. the lie/ore tion, Judge Judd has rendered a valuable service to the community in this clear and convincing statement of some of the fundamental principles of finance, and their application to the monetary condition of the islands. He shows that one great difficulty in the treatment of our financial problem is the general and deplorable ignorance of our business men in regard to the well established tacts and principles of political economy. "One class, who believe that there is something peculiar in the circumstances of these islands to take us out of the operation of the well ascertained laws of currency, and who are endeavoring t" solve the problem by reference only to the facts which are within range of their own horizons and the other class, who say that currency should not be meddled with, for no one tan understand its laws." The recent issue of the Kalaknua silver coinage, dollars, halves, and quarters, to the amount, it is said, of $1,000,000 is altogether beyond the requirements of a population of 60,000 with an export trade of only $.s.,?oo,ooo annually. The limit of issue of silver sub : sidiary coins, according to the Mum tary Convention of the latin nations ot Europe, was fixed at $1.20 per capita. That would Ix-' $X6.000 for our nun "The polyglot silver current y," whii h we have had forthe last fewyears has driven all goM coins out of Circulation. The large excess of exports over imports, the latter stated at $4,975,000 for ISX2. ma) give seeming ease in money matters but the high price ofexchange tells a different siory. We cannot pay lot our Postal Money Orders on the United States in our Ailuau silver. We might have cowry shells for the business of out own home markets ; that would be cheap money, surely. Hut when we settle our accounts with foreign dealers, we must pay in gold, the one accredited currency of the world.

In alluding to his resolve to resign the pastorate on the completion of his 70th year, Mr. Damon repeated his belief that the society needed a younger man, and that he beUevcd they could bdtet decide exactly what to do, during his absence from the country. Me had made no effort to supply the pulpit during his absence because he believed il best that the church should carry out their own wishes and pcrferenees in the mailer according to their own light and their best judgment.

It is so utterly inconsistent with itself, and so at variance with all sound financial principles, it can only be compared to the crazy patch-work quilting, which the ladies are now bus\ ing themselves with, as the latest style of "fancy-work." Judge Judd argues dearly and wisely for the limitation of silver to its use as a subsidiary coin. He would fix ten dollars as the limit ot the legal tender of silver in payment of debts.

In my last letter, I remember I expressed the regret that the present troubled state of politics, and the disturbed condition of the country, prevented my making any excursions in the out-lying districts about Cantos. Since I last wrote, however, I have had the privilege of spending some ten days in the country, and have had an excellent opportunity of seeing some phases of Chinese life and of studying the growth of Christianity among the heathen people. Nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of the trip ; and I need scarcely say that I found every moment of the time intensely interesting. I trust a few words in reference to the journey may l>e acceptable to you. In order that you may form some idea of the geographical position of the part of China where I am at present, I quote a few words from a valuable article in the Chinese Recorder, of 1880, contributed by the Rev. Mr. Noyes, of Canton City: " The province of Kwangtung is the most southerly of the eighteen provinces of China. The main portion of it lies between no and 117" east longitude, and between 21 30' and 25 30' north lattitude. Beyond these there is at the southwest corner, a projection of the main land owards the south, and also the large island of Hainan. There is also an irregular extension to the west, running through nearly two degrees of longitude. The whole area of the province is estimated at 79,456 square miles; and its imputation, by the last census, at 19,348,896; being an average of 241 to the square mile, an average about the same as that of Enland and Wales, less than that of Ireland, and a little more than that of France. Two-thirds of this area, and �THE FRIEND, APRIL 1884. 26 especially towards the inland boundary, is hilly or mountainous, which causes the population there to be less d«nse, and more crowded on the alluvial plains which lie near the sea, nowhere more crowded than on that great delta, nearly two hundred miles on either side, at the head of which sits enthroned the great city of Canton with its world wide commerce and its busy population of 1,000,000 souls. It would be difficult to find a better center than this for mission work. From the city to the sea, the wide plain is so intersected with a net-work of water courses, that there are few cities or large villages, which do not either lie upon the banks, or within easy distance ot some navigable stream. Eastward and westward through the very heart of the province, stretch the great East and West river, the head waters of the one springing near the headwaters of these rivers that find their way to the ocean on the extreme southeastern coast, while the head waters of the other are hundreds of miles away, beyond the farthest limits of the adjoining province of Kwang Sai. From the extreme northern boundary, comes the North river, gathering its waters from a hundred streams, and then cutting its way down through " mountain passes, whose beauty and wild grandeur are rarely equalled, until it joins its waters with those of the East and West rivers, and together they find their way through many winding channels to the sea." As, of late, matters have been growing somewhat quieter here, it was deemed prudent to visit some of the stations connected with the field of the American Presbyterian Mission. Rev. Mr. Noyes, from whose article I have quoted above, who has charge of the churches* lying to the southwest of Canton, took me under his charge, and we had as travelling companion Rev. Mr. Fulton, of the same mission. I was most favored in being permitted to go in the society of such genial Christian friends, and their cordial kindness and courtesy added much to the pleasure of the trip. Our course lay in a southerly and southwestern direction from Canton through the districts known, especially in California and Australia as those of the "Three Cities," (Sam Yap) and Four Cities," " 'This missionary has, I think, some eight or nine stations under his charge.

Here and there nestle in the shadows of the trees little grey Chinese villages. Our boatmen have moored us along with a number of other boats, so that we are not likely to be attacked by river pirates, who just at this time of the year are said to be very active, and against whose attacks it is well to take considerable precaution. A glorious silver moon floods river and field with its tender light. But we forget even its witchery and the fact that we are in the home of the most ancient of races, as we cozily tuck ourselves away in the huge chemise " mintois" (cotton wadded quilts, second only in warmth and magnitude to the gigantic feather beds which good Germans sleep under in the Fatherland), and fall to dreaming of even pleasanter things. From this we wake all too soon—to find the red dawn peeping in the cracks of our boat. We are in the district of Shantack, one of the great silk-growing regions of this part of China. The fields on every side look bare and brown, but under this dismal exterior lies a wealth of verdure ready to burst forth with the spring time. Every year the mulberry bushes, never allowed to become trees, are cut down nearly to the roots, and then the gnarled stumps are covered over with earth, so that they are almost hidden out of sight. In the spring the eager young shoots spring upwards, so that in summer these fields, now so brown and dreary, are covered with a mantle of green, far as the eye can reach. The leaves are fed to those marvelous little silk worms who have helped so potently to increase the wealth of this land for many ages. When our ancestors were " painted savages," these skillful workers were furnishing the materials for those dainty and costly fabrics, which, brought from this distant and mysterious land, were sold for their weight in gold to the Our boat luxury-loving Romans. passes through a village built on both sides of the river bank ; eager, curious faces look out at us as we pass. Now and then comes a cry of "Fan Ku-iu." ("Foreign Devil")—not very complimentary to be sure, but not here given, I think, in any particularly malicious spirit. Later on, we have this epithet showered down upon us in no friendly way. Coming out again into the open country we have a fine chance for a run along the shore. The tow-path is crowded with men and boys, who are busy tracking,' drawing their boats with long ropes through the canals. Groups of country people pass us, many giving us a pleasant smile and word. They all wear the inevitable cue, and dress as their forefathers did, and as their grandchildren will. They are simple-hearted, kindly folks, and compare in many respects favorably with the peasantry of some other countries which have had, perhaps, greater advantages. We come to a halt, for some hours, at a town, with the poetic name of "Golden Bamboos." We must wait here till the water rises, and gives us depth enough to run the rapids. This is a quaint old place, built along the river. Here and there a little canal with ancient bordering houses, a stone bridge, shaded by gnarled and twisted trees, remind me of certain picturesque old-time towns I know of in Holland, though this is only on the surface, for a closer examination shows a sad lack of Dutch matrons. The streets are narrow and dirty. Boys and men crowd around us. There are scarcely any women to be seen. They are kept at home by the strict rules of Chinese etiquette Their poor little maimed feet are not the best for getting around with. So perhaps they submit with better grace to the rules which keep them away from the rest of the world. We carried some books with us—"Gospel of Mark"—which no one, however, seemed inclined to buy. Here they are somewhat accustomed to seeing the missionaries, so that their curiosity is somewhat lessened. Near the village were fine groves ofbamboos and other trees, surrounding the temples where the false gods of the land are worship] >cd. Near the shore we found a withered and grey old woman burning papers and offering various sacrifices for good luck. A crowd here gathered about us and one of the missionaries had an opportunity of saying a few words about the true God, who delights in the worship of the believing heart. Another night brings us well over the rapids; and the next morning we find ourselves skimming over the broad surface of the noble West River, which after its long journey through the distant provinces of Yunnan and 27 watch its splendid flow, that the day may not be far distant when swift steamers shall furrow its waves, and penetrate into the remote regions through which it passes. It seems to speak to us of those teeming millions who dwell upon its banks, who are still bound in the fetters of heathenism. Kevanysi, with its great population, has to-day not one foreign missionary \s ithin its borders. Yunnan waits still for some voice to tell it of the Saviour and His love. Shortly after breakfast we found ourselves at the busy town of Kong Mun, a place of some 100,000 inhabitants. Here all was life and bustle. The river was full of boats, especially noticeable being the great ocean-grey junks, which find their way hither. Here in this prosperous town we found a little neat Presbyterian chapel, set up as a light amidst all the surrounding heathen darkness. The Church Mission have also a foot-hold here. We proceeded hence further into the district of Sau Ni. This is the region from which millions of palm-leaf ferns are exported to all parts of the world. On all sides were plantations of this graceful palm, presenting a most beautiful appearance. The manufacture of these useful fans appears to largely occupy the i>eople. Great attention seems to be paid to the preparation of the leaf. At some places we saw huge piles of the rough leaves in the early stages of drying. Then again we saw hundreds of the leaves laid out in long rows in the sun. These areput out every morning and taken up at evening. The rapidity with which the workmen place them in long even rows is something surprising. Then, when the drying and bleeching is completed, comes the marking out the shape and cutting and the binding or bordering with narrow t strips, a work which seems largely to occupy the women and girls, for we could see them busily at work in their poor hovels. They get a mere pittance for their work, and it is wonderful that they manage to exist at all. I shall always value a palm-leaf fan more than ever before, having seen the process of manufacture. From this centre vast numbers are sent away, and in far off New York, London and Paris the heat of summer is rendered less oppressive by reason of the labors of the fanout Kevangsi. broadens into majestic i makers in this inland district of China. proportions.

You wonder that people can live at all amid such surroundings. There is a great deal of gaudy show, but no comfort. We pass gayly painted and gilded temples, and at every turn there are shrines, where at times the object Of worship set up is a hideous idol, or a shapeless stone. It is a city given over to idolatry. I"ne heart grows sad and weary with all these evidences of the moral and religious night which broods here.

Another day on the river brings us through the heart of an agricultural country. There are vast rice fields on either hand. As the farmers here get two crops a year, the) are kept busily at work. I am constantly reminded of the bus)' workers I have seen in the rice-swamps at Hanalei, Punahue or Waihihi on our own Islands. But with us they lack the background of the ; < Chinese landsca|je, the graceful pagodus, the carved temples, the quaintly ornamented ancentral halls which one sees here. They live in villages where their ancestors have lived before them for long generations. A sort of patriarchal rule still exists. The elders of the village exert a great influence. They are divided into powerful clans or families, who glory in their ancient �THE FRIEND, APRIL surnames. Between these clans sometimes arises the most deadly feuds and their difficulties and quarrels lead to bloody contests. In this village are wise-looking old teachers who instruct the boys in the lore of the ancients, and especially the great Confucius and initiate them into the mysteries of those marvelous characters which meet you at every turn in China, in city or country. The houses are all of brick or stone, and generally of one story. The women of the better class are rarely seen, and must find their existence oftentimes monotonous and dreary.

It was indeed worth coming all this way to receive the cordial welcome of the Christians. They have a humble little chapel, just off the market place, but 1 believe the glory of the Lord's presence lighted it on that communion Sabbath.

The business meeting will be held in the lower hall, the voting members assembling there for the election of officers, and the usual routine. After this at 7:30 p. m. in the large hall will t>e given the retiring president's address, and it was also voted to invite Rev. Mr. Wallace and Rev. Mr. Merritt to make brief addresses. The committee of arrangements were instructed to provide some light refreshment for the occasion. Letters were read in regard to a gentleman, whose name had been proposed, as one eminently creditable for the position of general secretary. It was voted that the special committee having this matter in charge be given full authority to act as they may judge lest in regard to offering any definite amount for salary, and for travelling expenses. Mrs. Hampton, who has had remarkifott success in Gos])el Meetings in the Colonies, led the services in the Fort Street Church Sunday evening, March 24.

Mcd 32 " Pure religion and undefined before God and the Father is this To visit the fatherless and widows in theiraffliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. There is food for thought in President Andrew White's address at the reunion of his College Class of '53 at Vale College. It is a stirring appeal to young men not to be deluded by the mercantile spirit of the age, however strong and even triumphant it may seem now. He calls attention to the fact brought out in Guizot's History of Civilization that the decline and fall of the various nations of antiquity may be attributed to the predominance of some single element, a want of the checks and balances afforded by the variety to be found in our modern civilization. But consider wh t the patriotic spirit is in its present manifestations, what educational progress is, what we see in the department of the fine arts, what in religious circles, and even in the business and commercial world : and see how young men are being drawn into this whirling maelstrom of mercantilism who ought to devote their powers to higher aims in life than the accumulation of dollars. Is not the business enterprise of this country, which is lauded so highly as one of the marvels of the nineteenth century, really endangering that very material prosperity in which it prides itself. Our mercantile marine has steadily declined, our — Sacred Scripture sets before us sympathy and fellowship with the Eternal Father, the Heloved Son, the In-dwelling Spirit of Holiness, Truth and l.ove. Who of the young men of the Honolulu of to-day will devote himself to the work of making the Honolulu of the future what this lovely city might be and ought to be, if only high ideals are held up and followed out ? In connection with the effort being made by the Y. M. C. A. to establish evening schools for the benefit of young men. it is interesting to notice how prominent has become this topic of in dustrial education among those inter ested in the welfare of the young. The Oakland Board of Education propose to start four classes, two classes of boys to be instructed in the use of tools, two (lasses of girls in cooking and sewing. A wealthy gentleman of public spirit has built what he calls Trade Schools in First avenue between 67th and OSth streets N. Y. Here young men of good character and ability from 19 to 25 years of age, for $3 a month, receive three lessons a week from 7 p.m. to 9:30 P.M., in plumbing, brick laying, plastering, stone cutting, pattern making, carving and fresco painting. manufactories have killed their own Opened in 1881 with an attendance of market by the very plethora of goods 33, in 1882 there were 80 at the openthey have been able to turn out, our ing, in 1883 there were 207. business men with all their enterprise The San Francisco Y.
