SMALL NoTEs-.fsass Of thsir eonvsn,snes.
The act passed last winter authorizing the Banks
TO s,oe small notes Tor the public convenience, and
TO prevent, as much possible, heavy drains upon
them ior specie to supply the purposes Of change
was coupled with provision requiring them to re-.
deem all such notes in specie when demanded. The
Banks accepted the oct, and commenced issuing
the small notes, relying upon the indulgence Of
the community. II was not supposed that any
would make demands for specie upon small
notes, when they answered all purposes, and were
certainly more convenient-yet We understand
many appear at the counters of the Banks in this
city, claiming their legal right, and demand specie to
the amount ofseversl hundred dollars at one time
sticking for the pound Of flesh nearest the heart to
the last. That the avaricious appetite of man
should be so keen, is acknowledgement the only So
lace s that instances OF the kind cited may be con-
fined very few. II the practice is PERSISTED IN 10
any extent, the Banks will, Of necessity, be COM
PEELED to be very cautious in their issues, and the
public convenience must suffer

from being in a good condition, and |
know not how we shall be received. Ac-
cording to all probability we shall be treat
ed as enemies Let God order all things
according to his holy will. If we are not
permitted to land, we shall claim the hos
pitality Of the vessels that are in port,
and pass from one to another, when that
which shall have received US is about to
leave, or becomes weary of us. This is
indeed strange kind of life but hope
we shall gain something by it. Our chris
tians will know how to find US by day or
by night, and perhaps even more easily
than on land. We have but little money
to pay our passage. When it is all ex-
pended, we will ask of God day by dag or
daily bread, and he will give it to us
Whatever may happen, it appears to be
the Lords will to put an end to our exile
in California. If it pleases him that we
be banished to some other place, his will
be done We cannot be carried to a
place where he is not. That is enough
for us, for he will keep us by his holy
grace"
The two missionaries were unable to
embark till March %, 1897. They ar
rived at Woahu, on the 18th of April fol-
lowing. We shall now follow the nara
tive of M. Patrick Short. 1t is addressed
to Monseigneur the Archbishop of CAL
cedony.
"In 1885," says M. Short, eve re-
ceivcd a brief from His Holiness Gregory
XVI, which exhorted us not to be dis
couraged, and to attempt new Efforts
Letters also arrived from the Sandwich
Islands, which gave us some hope that
we should be able to return to that arch
ipelago. The king had made fair prom
ises to the commander of the Bonite, a
French corvette, which had touched there
some months before. Moreover, an agree
ment une convention concluded about
the same time with an English ship, gave
me, as subject of his Britannia Majesty,
the right to reside in the Islands, March
%, 1887 we embarked on board the brig
Clementine, and after passage of twenty
days, we arrived at the port of Honolulu,
the place OF our former residence, and the
capital city of the whole archipelago.
The plan Of NJ. BacheIot, supposing
that he could not remain in his mission,
was, to pass on TO the islands of the south,
or at least to retire to Valparaiso, but he
thought it his duty to make all possible
efforts to remain at the Sandwich Islands.
According to this plan, we had agreed
that | should land before information was
given of our arrival, and should keep my
self concealed, while he landed openly.
| believed that | could land without being
perceived; but an immense crowd of,
kanakas soon covered the shore. Kua-
naoa, the husband of Kinau and governor
of the island, was among the spectators.
was soon recognized, though | had
a very long beard, and broad brimmed
hat, which covered me like an umbrella.
Some asked me, but in low voice, whv

residence, followed continually by the
multitude. To get clear of them, (for
was afraid, above all things, of attracting
the attention of Kuanaoa,) took round
about way, and in this was successful
