FROM OUR AMERICAN CORRESPONDENT.
NUMBER 5.

BosroN,-- 1894.
Dear Ed;tor,-The deep interest felt in
this city and in New England generally in
the Sandwich Islands, has astonished me.
BY all classes have l been closely questioned
in regard to them; their queries Of course
varied according to their previous impress
sions or prejudices. All however, with few
exceptions, now award a full need of praise
to the exertions Of the American Missiona-
ries. The Roman Catholics here also mani
fest much interest in them, on account ofthe
French Mission. Their views are altogether
formed upon their representations and the
reports Of the "Annals of the Propagation Of
the Faith"-and of course are strongly par
tisan and hostile to the Protestant Missions
ries. This hostility is sometimes ludicrously
exhibited, as you will perceive by the carica-
ture upon the American Missionaries, pub
lished by them and which / forward to you.
Setting aside all religious differences. the
success of the Hawaiians in establishing Q
liberal and independent government, and the
rapid spread Of the arts Of civilized life among
them, are the most prominent points Of attrac-
ton. That missionary labor has been the
chief instrument in this work seems now net.
tied and the inquiries have turned upon sub.
jects of more personal nature. Some are in-
clined to believe the islands q rude place,
and the people little better than wild savages
in their domestic life. 1t is a matter Of
establishment to them, how 80 many can
yearly leave our city to settle among them
the females particularly are subjects of their
commiseration. They smile incredulously
when l tell them that society there is quite
on a par with many of our large towns; and
if l should further tell them, that the streets
of Honolulu were saferto females at all hours
than those of our own cities, l should be still
less likely to be believed. But such is the
fact. In New York, Philadelphia. Balti-

PRINTED BY A WOMAN.


 The Declaration of Independence, as appears from printed copy in the office of the Secretary of State transmitted to the Convention in North Car olina in TIT, by John Hancock, and bearing his signature, in his own hand writing, as President of the Congress of '76, was, originally printed by Mary Catherine Goddard. There were women in those days. No wonder that that glorious Declar- aton was so successfully maintained by the gallant spirits of the Revolution. .ai-s2ssI arr o At the period of the Revolution, a woman mas- ter-printer was not a very uncommon thing Margaret Draper, the widow of Richard, succeed ed her husband, in 1774, publisher of the Boston News Letter, and conducted its concerns herself for some time. When the British evacuated Bos- ton, Mrs D. left with the army, and went to Eng land, where she received pension from the gov- ernment. Anne Catherine Green published pa- per in Annapolis Md, and printed for the colony. before the Revolution; Mary Crouch. of Charles ton, 6. C.,left that city in l7S0, short time be- fore it was surrendered to the British troops and taking with her the press and types which had be- ionged to her late husband, went to Salem, Mass, and opened printing house, and published a paper The Charleston Gazette, previously printed by Pe- ter Timothy, was discontinued while the city was in possession of the British After the war, Anne Timothy, widow of Peter, revived the Gazette, and was appointed printer to the State, which appoint ment she held several years.
 Mary Catharine Goddard, spoken of above. was a sister of Goddard, the first printer in Providence, R. T. When Congress had superseded the British Government in the management of the Post Office, Dr. Franklin, being Post Master General, appoint ed Goddard comptroller and surveyor Of post roads. During the time that he was thus engaged in public concerns his sister ably conducted the print ing house. The paper and every work which is- sued from the press, appeared in her name.

disappointed the expectations Of either

the wings thought the contest a hopeless
one, and were only brought to the polls by
their wish to manifest their attachment to
their principles and the men by whom they
are upheld. Admiration of the talents,

hundreds to the polls who otherwise would
not have taken thc'trouble to attend them.

TENNESSEE,

An Extra from the office of the Nash-

II, contains rettrns from the whole State
with the exception'of Fentress & Lauder
dale counties. This is the latest news,
and it renders the State extremely doubt
ful. According to the estimates and re-
turns as here given, it would seem thai
the Wing ticket was 225 ahead, leaving
the two counties to be heard from. In
I843, Fentressgave III for Jones, 4IO for
PoIk--Ldaderdale, 28I for Zones, els for
Polk. Allowing the same vote this year
in these counties, it would leave the State
so near tie that nothing but the ctticieI
canvass could decide it.
