than that accorded to the Chinese. The
Japanese officers of the Candnmarroo, du
ring their visit to the river steamer now
being built at south beach, sketched every
portion of the structure with degree of per-
iectness that astonished every one who wit

voyage to this port While in Honolulu, he
added many curious things to his book The
Polynesian, referring to this, says:

clined, saying that when he had shaved and
put on another suit of clothes, he would
return and sit for it. Looking over the pic
lures which we're lying on the table, he spied
the likeness of Mr. Kern, artist on board the
Fennimore Cooper. This he instantly recog-
nized, and was perfectly delighted to find
that that gentleman had been here. lie
had met him in Japan, and became acquain-
ted with him. If our japanese visitors are
so taken up with the ordinary sights of Hon
olulu, what will become with them when
they witness the splendid views and sights
