RAISING THE DEvIL-Oneo OF those queer incidents
which occasionally occur on board of crowded vessels.
when laden with human beings, who are prone TO
superstition, came off during the passage Of the
Peruvian ship Psironila, from VI Gao TO this port,
among the coolies. This is the relation as given by
the chief officer, At midnight. 81 Of August, as his
watch was being relieved. there was a terrible row
heard among the coolies, Sho were confined below,
on the between decks. The sailors came running aft,
and told the captain that the coolies were endeavor-
ing to break through the hatchway and the house on
deck. and take the ship. He armed himself with a
revolver, and proceeding 10 the scene Of action, fired
8 shot through the deck-house. Finding this pro-
duced no effect, he fred two or three more. in rapid
succession. Still the noise continued, and no demon
stration Of violence being apparent. the mste sent a
man below TO inquire the cause Of the rumpus. The
man soon returned with the astounding intelligence
that the devil or Josh was among them; at any rate,
a. the very devil was to pay and that the coolies
were in the utmost confusion and fright. They de-
scribed him as q little fellow, about three feet high.
When his Birthstone NJ sty first made his appear
auce, he had a piece of lighted josh-paper in his
hand, which he thrust in the face of one Of the
coolies. About = O'Clock in the mid-watch. the old
gentleman visited them again, this time pulling one
of them by the nose, rendering them more frantic

for the FIRST night. For a succession of nights these
unwelcome visits continued, and the coolies yelled
aud shouted as stated. The endurance of the mate
gave way, and he was determined to arrive at the
origin Of the evil. just before u O'Clock, he went
below, and waited the devils debut. After waiting
a short time, one Of the coolies shouted, There he
is there he is - st the same time, pointing him out
TO the mate, who fired At the supposed object, but
without effect, as on looking for their enemy, they
could not find him. Towards the forward part of the
vessel, another shout was raised, d" Here he is here
he is - Tn mate ran thither and fired again, but
missed him. Finally all hands held q consultation.
and probably thinking that the mate would not

the victim of some hallucination, and Mephistopheles
has not visited them since. One poor fellow, how
ever. was so much frightened that he jumped over

there will not be less than 10000 Mormous in the

Hawaiian. which appeared to be the words . When l

We cannot better conclude our account of this re-
vival Of Mormonism. than by giving q humorous
sneciote which occurred a day or two before our
arrival, vouchei for by Mr.. Havekost, whose inim-
liable recital Of it, however, We cannot portray. The
Mormons, it appears, are given 10 the performance
of miracles. There was an old native woman living
near the church. whom they were anxious TO convert,
and piled every art and persuasion 10 bring her over,
which she resisted till at last she consented 10 change
her faith, provided they would cure her horse, which
lay sick in the pasture near by. Very well, they
could easily do that, they said. 50 in = short time
they came back, q large crowd Of elders and saints,
and surrounded the horse, laying their hands
on him till he was literally covered from his nose
to the end Of his tail. Then kneeling down, they
prayed that the old horses spirit might return
TO him aud he revive. And they anointed him with
oil. The poor beast must have felt the power of their
lamentations, for he gave a long breath and yielded up
the ghost. When the old woman saw that the horse
was dead, she cried out. Hels psla OukOu he poe
oukou hsls peIa!" Clear out ;
you are q set of liars; begone - They gave up the
old woman, as they did her horse, as a pretty hard

sentIng themselves 10 the community and our
readers will be no less astonished than W. are.
At learning that one who had presented himself
before the public with such high credentials, at
length discloses q mission and purpose SO differ
ent from that which all were led 10 suppose.
But it may be said, it is none Of our business,
nor should it concern the public, if Capt. Gibson
did not choose to proclaim 10 everybody his
mission TO Honolulu. We think differently. \
stranger going into any community and con-
cealing the real motives of his visit will, and
very properly should, become the object of pub
lie suspicion-PuJhe, just in the degree that he
has sought public notoriety and attention. But
when, in addition to such assembling, strangers
undertake to raise money among the native
population in modes of questionable rTopriety,
We think it our duty as public journalists to
call public attention to it. Had he come among
US as the avowed apostle of Brigham Young,
and gone to work openly in his mission TO re-
organize the scattered Mormon disciples, and
collect their contributions, the case would have
been very different, and We should have respected
him for his honesty, if not for his zeal. But he
chose TO appear before our public only as a
Malayan traveller of literary merit and celebrity,
while NJ. Eddy presents himself as the son of q
worthy New England clergyman and correspond
ent of L San Francisco paper and Under these
guises We find them next collecting moneys from
the natives, while certain vague and ominous
rumors follow their footsteps. To say the least,
such n course ought to excite public attention, if
not public Indignation, even should they prove
to he the humble and pious devOtees of Brigham
Young, Of which we are by no means as yet
convinced.
We say distinctly, however, that we do not be-
lieve the truth of the reports current regard
ing efforts to engage men for privateering ser
vice, OF that any person has been offered a
bonus of 800 To enlist in such service. But
ut the same time, we question the right OF any
man or any class Of men to come among us as
strangers, and solicit or obtain money of the
natives, (who can hardly afford to pay their just
taxes even though the object be SO holy and
benevolent 4 one rs that of rebuilding the walls
of the Mormon Zion. For this reason, if for
none other, we say that it is the duty of the
government to inquire into this matter, and learn
whether or not the poor people under its care do
not need that protection which it has vOuchsafed
to give them. The government has no right TO
or encourage in any way the spread Of the
Mormon, Catholic or Protestant religions, nor
under ordinary circumstances even TO inquire in

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

RISE CRice) IN Real EsTArE.-Everybody and his
wife, Gncluding iefunct government employees are
into rice-sugar is nowhere, and cotton is no longer
King. Taro patches are held at fabulous valuations,
and among the thoughtful the query is beginning TO
be propounded, Where is our taro TO come from,
should this excited state of the rice market continue :
-4propOs of taro patches, thereby hangs a tale. As
We were walking down town the other day, we over
took an old acquaintance who is ever ready to hail
US with some new ana OF other when he sees US, but
on this occasion his eyes were cast upon the ground,
and he appeared to be in u maze of thought inextri-
cable. "A penny for your thought" said We.
Looking up, and his cOuntenance clearing, he
uttered, 81 was thinking of RICE - and after some
few remarks, he continued, land any one who
thinks these natives don't know what they are about,
why he an-do the next thing. Ten months
ago. / was offered three taro patches for $40. which
| declined. Meeting the native, a few days ago, |
told him l thought / would take them now, at that
price. "Oh, no." said the native, 81 can't sell them
at that price. l want $500 for them now" This
beats the rise (query, rice) in real estate in Mont
gomery street. in the = golden age and throws
t" Fifth avenue speculations into the shade.
MONEY WANTED AND FoUND-The vessel alluded
to in our last issue as being to the southwark and
westward, turned out to be the Peruvian ship PetrO-
Mia, 81 days from Macao, bound to CanaO, with
coolies. The Captain, unacquainted with the cur
rents, had been yainly endeavoring to beat up to the
harbor, for two days. At the suggestion of j. c.
~Spalding, Esq, Consul of Peru, Capt. S. James ran
down to him i'll the sloop Emma, and got on board
just in time TO prevent the vessel anchoring, which
the Captain had fully resolved to do. Under the
skillful guidance Of Capt. James, she soon ives of the
entrance, where she was boarded by Capt. J. Meek,
the pilot, and brought into port. She needed sup
plies and repairs. The necessary funds TO the amount
of $4,000, have been provided, through drafts drawn
by the Captain, Senior Don p. Campadonica. on her
owner, Thomas Conroy, ESQ, of Callao, secured by
bottomTy on the vessel, and she will have quick dis
patch. None of the coolies are permitted to leave
the ship. -
~ We would call the attention Of those interest
ed in the culture OF rice TO the able article on this
subject, prepared by Professor B.. S%illiman, jr, and
C. E. Goodrich, Esq, for the splendid publication
issued at the close of the Worlds Fair, held in New
York in 1854. 1t is to be continued. and the second
part will contain numerical statistics, which in their
magnitude will probably as much astonish the read
ers rs they did ourselves. To those just about TO
engage in the cultivation of rice, the facts will be Of
great value.
