A little farther east is an old cockpit. which is
merely an enclosure four or five inches high. The
cocks were put in the enclosure, and the first one tina.
got outside was said to be beaten-so the story runs.
l have been on the very top of Mauna Loa, and
well up on the side of Mauna Kea, and all that I have
seen on these two mountains is but a drop in the
bucket, in comparison with what l have seen on Hua-
hlai. The different varieties and large number OF
craters; the old extinct streams of lava, where for
part of the time the lava has run under the surface
and sometimes above; the great number of caves of
all manner of shapes, in many of which the lava
hangs over mead like icicles, while others are
smooth; in some places a very good soil, in others
coarse sand or fine gravel. Every other person that
/ have seen who has assembled this mountain is of the
same opinion as myself. The mountain is eight thou
sand two hundred and twenty feet high. This l saw
on one of Wilkes charts. Mr.. Remy made it about
the same height. One can ride on horseback to the
highest peak. Yours, &c.,

| character and health, and finally to q dishonored
and early grave.
Moral courage Is . rare commodity in most
communities. Il has % many enemies that #
cannot always Withstand their repeated blows.
Established custom perhaps, assails it on the one
hand, and temptation of pleasure gain or honor on
the other-and among them all it is often hustled
and drivenaway. And yet how important to char
acter is that quality which gives men power
a power which too many, to their sorrow, are
destitute of,-to say .No,' when tempted to do
On act which they disapprove. The courage to
utter that little word has been the real cause OF
the eminence of many whom the world has called
great and famous, while the inability to utter it
at the proper time and place has been the ruin of
multitudes. Independence of character is one of
the most valuable qualities of the mind. Moral
courage is the back bone, if we may 80 call it, of
virtue.
While moral courage is important as a means
of attaining the great ends of ordinary individual
life, history records many instances where it has
accomplished vastly more important ends and
produced vastly greater results. The hero mar
tyrs to the causes of patriotism and Christianity,
who have suffered in all ages, are illustrious ex-
amples of moral courage. No men are more
worthy of the veneration of posterity, than
those noble spirits who have offered up their lives
on the altar of sacrifice for the good of their fell
low men. Tt was moral courage of the noblest
kind that animated Curtius to leap into the I'M
fathomable gulf, and prompted Camillusto forego
his just resentment. 1t was this which led Junius
Brutus, crushing the swelling affections of his
heart, to fulfill the ends of justice by pronouncing
sentence of death upon his son, who had commit
ted the crime of treason against his country. 1t
was this that actuated the devoted physician, who
in a time of panic occasioned by the deadly havoc
of the plague, VOLUNTEERED to dissect the body of
one who had died, and at the sacrifice of his life
studied the nature of the disease, and wrote out
for the benefit of the world, the results of his re-
searches. 1t was this that urged the noble Swiss.
Arnold Winkelried, when, in the battle for his
c%ountry's liberties, he rushed forward, upon the
unbroken ranks of the enemy, and encircling an
armful of spears within his grasp, sheathed them
in his own body-thus making a gap in the line
of b~ristling steel, through which his countrymen
advanced to victory.

LAHAIsA, March II, 1853.
Sm The spring season has fairly commenced,
but business is not SO brisk as some would like to
have it. and in particular the retail store keepers are
complaining. But we have too many of them, and
they keep the prices up too high.
Last Friday as the ship Young Hero was getting
under way she drifted into the French ship Ndpo-
leon. carrying away her jibboom. staving in two Of
her boats, and doing her other damage to about seven
or eight hundred dollars. She has gone to Honolulu
to be repaired. The Young Hero was damaged 70
that it would have cost about three thousand dollars
to have repaired her. At the time the accident hap
pened there was . light wind. and the current was
running very strong to the southwest There are
many reports going around in regard to this accident,
but l refrain giving you any Of them.
On Sunday, At midnight, she wAs discovered to be
ON fire. Some say the Gre was discovered from the
shore before it was noticed o. the ship; 04hers sag il
was not. The ship was Immediately hauled nsar the
shore. the matches were put on, sa;ls put oysr than

Rumor has been very busy during the past weei
or two in regard to the appointment Of a Minis
ter of Finance. A number of well qualified
names have been suggested as each happened to
fancy, but as is generally the case in filing va
cancies there is no want of nominees. Although
tine public have nothing to do directly with the
appointment or even nomination of ministerial
officers, yet a due regard to the public feeling is
always desirable, for the appointment of a person
wholly incapacitated for the Office, would only
tend to defeat the ends for which such Office was
created and bring odium on the government.
Unfortunately for the government it has been
losing its popularity for the past year or two,
from the fact that an inefficient ministry have
been continued in Office against the undisguised
wishes of the people and the outgpoken voice of
the press.
During the past few days it has been currently
reported and on good authority, that the Office
of Minister of Finance is to be filled by the Hon.
DAVID L. GREGG, United States Commissioner at
these islands for the past four years, whose sue
cessor Judge Bowden, is expected to arrive in a
few weeks by the bark Yankee. 1t may be con-
sidered by some as premature to give currency to a
mere rumor of action on SO important a matter,
but there appears to be so little doubt in regard
to it, that it is rather to be considered as a fact,
which nothing but the circumstance of the nom
arrival of the new commissioner, prevents being
officially gazetted. Indeed, the appointment
would appear to have been determined on some
months ago.

NArooroo, HAwAn. March 10. 1856

NAPOOPO0, HAWAII March III, 1908.
DEAR Sm lin the Advertiser of Feb. Is I notice
a description Of: the several islands Of this group. ]
think a little alteration might be made in relation to
Hawaii. This island is ninety miles from the N. W,
point to the S. E. point, and from the s 3. to the 8
w. eighty miles. In speaking of Hualalai one would
suppose, from the description given, that there was
but one crater, while there are at least sixty. 81
says Mr.. Remy, a French gentleman who spent one
month on Hualalai. I counted twenty-four craters
at one time, and not very high on the mountain
either. The crater that you speak Of as being so very
deep is the very Hualalai into which it was the Gus
tom in old times to throw dead persons. l have
looked down and thrown stones into it as often as any
other white man, except Mr.. Remy, and l do not
think it can be over two hundred and fifty or thret
hundred feet before the stones strike. As for a largt
stone or ssrock.' I think one would have to go nj
least one hundred and fifty feet down to find one
During the several times I have been there I never
saw anything about the crater that looked like glass,
nor anything smoother than common puhoehoe. Mr.
Remy told me that he had often looked down into it,
and by putting his hands above his eyes in a short
time could see the bottom and see bones lying there
To hear a stone strike at a distance of one thousand
feet below one must have an excellent ear, som
like the man who could hear plants breaking their
way upwards through the ground.
The crater is some twelve or fifteen feet in diameter
and is at the termination of a sharp peak. On the
back Of this mountain Hualalai, there still exists an
old ruin called Hua Uni. some forty by fifty feet
square, like the foundation walls Of a house. about
five feet high. 1t is divided off into four rooms, with
an alley through the long way. having two rooms on
each side outside of these walls. At a distance OF
some twenty or more feet are eight large piles Of
ctopes ove huilt NV each of the districts on this island
one by the priests, and one by the king.
