serious wounds, and will soon yield to the kind
treatment they will receive on their arrival

me TO add, preserved in its original, unadulterated
state.
The historical and poetical records Of primitive
nations never accord with the moral notions and ideas
Of our present civilization, but at the same time not
unfrequently such discrepancies form most salient
characteristics Of the national and social life described
in them. More than once, these Sery immoralities
! related have given to antieuarians or critical histo-
rians the clue to elucidaie obscure points relative
to the afinities Of races, or to explain dark points
about social and religious usages.
Our natives, although introduced TO a civilization
greatly different and more elevated than their former,
still cling with affection to their old lore. And who
would blame them for this? lake from q nation its
language and its history, and what remains to it Of

We have witnessed in cur age, and the whole lite
rsry world has applauded, the efforts Of the noble
brothers Grimm, in collecting from the lips of the
common people, the ancient legends and tales of the
Germanic races. In nearly every other nation sue
cessors and emulators have sprung up TO them. And
what an amount of genuine material for constructing
the fabulous period Of the histories Of those nations
has been accumulated thereby? What a source of
genuine, original and beautiful poetry has been open
ell by them? But if you would curtail the charm
ing German fairy legends-as the simple and racy
Morse tales-by the standard of our present civiliza-
ton, how much of their most characteristic portions
would have to be eliminated. and what an ~ungainly
hollow, dilapidated framework would remain? But,
to go a step further, what would become of the i'm
mortal Homer, what Of the sparkling Horace, what
Of the fascinating Anacreonic poets of Greece and
Rome. Why, even immortal Will Shakespeare would
have to be thrown out from our libraries, if only our
standard Of morality shall be allowed to stamp its
imprimatur on them.
Let these few lines pass as a pleading for the His
tory of Uni, and for other historical sketches that
may be presented in the native papers.

be Of interest here
DEAR SIR 1T may be inferred, from your notice
in the last .9drerfiser, OF the occurrence Of quartz on
our islands, that it is found 80 in place" or IN lodges
which would favor the idea that gold may be found;
but such is not the case. 1t is met with on all the
larger islands of our group. in the form Of small
grains, usually in the beds Of rivers On the west
erly end of MOlokai, it is more abundant. bOullers
having been found larger than a mans head IN dry
ravines. They are detached, however. having no con-
pectiou with the volcanic rocks, and all the speci-
mems I have seen, appear to be more or less altered
by heat. the small crystals, scattered over their sur
face being rounded, and portions having the appear
ance of agate.
The small crystals obtained by II. Won Holt, Esq.,
at the gold diggings in KOolau, are quartz. Ii Is
probable, therefore, that the grains of quartz found
in rivers, are derived from the same source by the
disintegration of the basslt, through which it may be
disseminated in the form of small crystals. The
metals that occur on our islands. so far as Observed
are the following Sulphste of iron, (koolau gold0

over all the islands, more abundant on Kauai. where
it is found coating pebbles, quarter Of an inch IN

netic iron sand is also found in larger quantities on
that island than elsewhere.
The following minerals have been met with on our
islands Labradorite. at Haleakala; sulphate of lime,
Gypsum found in caves, crystalized in stalactites,
not common; the same mineral occurs in large guam
titles, enclosed in raised coral reefs, at several places
on this island, being the result of the evaporation of
sea water; zeolites, of two or three species undeter-
mined, in small goodies, enclosed in hard compact
basalt. Chrysolite and Divine, are common, dissem-
mated through the lava rocks; the largest mass l
have met with, is four inches in diameter.
Perfect crystals of angite. double and single, are
detached on Lanai and Hawaii. Carbonate OF
lime is common over all the islands; sulphur and salt
petre in sufficient quantities for all warlike purposes.
Not having had the advantage of railroad excava-
tons, or extensive public works, but little is known
of our minerals.

Correspondent Of the P. c. Adversary
EducaIiou.

Mr. EDITOR The last POlynesian contains a
more sensible article on education than usually pro-
ceeds from the same source. Unlike many that have
preceded it. its main object does not seem 10 be TO tear
down. 1t is not full Of disparagement of nl which
has been done in the work of education II the islands.
1t says, at will be seen that We do not intend to in
terfere directly with the present common schools"
This is right. II urges that other efforts be made by
the government TO increase the schools OF q higher
grade This too is right. Against the plan Of i'm
provement proposed for these schools. we see nothing
to object. The advice in regard to moral and reii-
gious instrpction is excellent. The number Of such
schools, for the present. must be limited, owing to
the want Of men and money.
The schools at Lahainaluna and Hilo, and the
female school at Wailuku. were commenced on almost
precisely the plan proposed. ~mingliug work with in
struction, only the means for their support was de-
rived mostly from the United States. And this
amounted TO no triiing sum. probably not less than
from $780, 600 to 100000.
II the government will take hold Of this subject in
earnest. no doubt something very important 10 the
Hawaiian race may be effected. Even If one addi-
tionsl school Of this kind could be established on each
OF the islands. 1t would doubtless result in great
good.
The writer. We think, places too much reliance on
aid from parents. They will do something, and
promise more. Many would feel much interest in
the subject, but their means are limited. The asser-
ton that $50, 600 q year has been contributed by
Hawaiian Protestant church members for foreign reli-
gious gratuities." is quite incorrect. The churches
have contributed about this sum annually for several
years past for all religious purposes, including build
ing Of churches. supporting pastors. aiding the in
firm. &c..-only a very small portion Of il has gone
to support missions in foreign lands. Nearly the
same amount from the American churches has been
expended here annually for these purposes.
We would say most heartily, let the coming legis-
lature take hold of this subject. and see what further
can be done to urge .fortcGrd the work Of education
at the islands, and render our school system more
useful, complete and efficient G..

Sailing SfnfisIics.

Last year we gave 4 summary of the passages
made between this port and San Francisco. We
have continued the record during 1861, which
we present below. Both the import and export
trade between the two ports has steadily increas-
ed, and we are now provided with n line of as
good packets as probably any similar route can
boast. Ii is n question whether the trade of the
islands is not now sufficient to sustain at a hand
some profit two good steamers of 500 or 1000
tons capacity, in lieu of the sailing vessels now
in employ. In the hands of the same popular
agents as now conduct the Dispatch Line, and
under command of the captains who have so
long served on this route, the change from sail
to steam would be hailed as 4 national blessing,
and would doubtless increase the freighting and
traffic. Two good steamships ought to
the business that four sailing vessels can.
Still, the reduction in the length of passage, as
shown by the following statistics, could not be

q An article in the Polynesian of Feb. Is,
signed Rustic though really absurd, makes
some statements which require notice. The
writer makes structures on the story of Uni, now
in course of publication in the KuokOa, asserting
that it is obscene and unfit for perusal. We are
left to infer, either that he is not conversant with
the Hawaiian language, and has obtained his
cue from hearsay, or that his moral vision has
become so blighted by familiarity with vice, that
he is unable to look at any thing, without
finding it, to his vision, more or less obscene or
impure.
We have carefully reperused in type the story
of Uni referred to by him, as it was carefully
read when in manuscript, corrected, approved
and passed to the printers. Nor do we find any
thing that deserves to be called obscene or vile,
when the nature of the story is remembered
even by one whose nerves are so very sensitive as
'' Rustic's.'' The story of Uni, as narrated in
the EuOkoa, is taken from a Hawaiian History,

Ms. copy came before us for insertion in the

first and subsequent numbers, were altered By us,
so as to be less reprehensible, or with that in

will show the changes.
Since the above vas written, we have received
the following from DIR. Hillebrand. whose inter-
est in the traditions and ancient history of the
Hawaiian race is well known, and insert it
with pleasure, as his ideas will be endorsed by
all. There is a distinction to be drawn between
historical sketches, which embrace the %antiqui-
ties of the people, aud meles which have no real
meaning or import, and are intended only to
please the tastes of the lewd and vulgar. The

denim the liberty taken by us in making any
alterations in the original text to suit the story
