TAHIrI,N CHUIsrrANs-The tenacity with which
the simple Polynesian Islanders cling to the first
religion which they have been taught, Is illus
tratcd in the history of the Tahitians. The English
Protestant Mission was commenced at Tahiti in
l797 or soon after. Some forty years later, the
French seized the island because the native rulers
sought to exclude Catholic priests from teaching
there. After the seizure. the interference of the
French and opposition to the English Missionaries,
resulted in driving them away. and in their places
numerous French Catholic Missionaries were I'M
ported, but after laboring twenty years they failed
to bring the natives over 10 their ialth. n few
years ago the National Assembly of the Islands
sent To France for two Protestant Missionaries,
and now the Government. is restoring to the Pro
testants the charge of the schools which We're
wrested from them and given to the Jesuits. Queen
Pomare and nearly all the people still adhere to
the faith Of the Gospel. There are now 81 Pro-
tcstaut parishes. 1907 pupils IN the schools, and
1896 communicates in the native churches-the
whole population being only about 6.00O. At the
Queens residence. the French Governor has offer
ed ground to build two large school houses. and
one Of the Protestant Missionaries has gone to
America and France to raise funds to erect the
same. -

and New York dates of February LIST. also a large
L. s. mail. which arrived in San Francisco per
steamer Colorado the day previous to the bark
departure. The steamship Ajdr was advertised to

ing. PresidentJohnso makes an important speech

PRIZE MONEY.-It will be Of interest to Oul
readers to learn that Lieut.. Gushing of the Ldncds
ter. has been awarded sic, 100, for his services i'll
blowing up the rebel ram AlJam0rie during the
rebellion. He had been promised fifty thousand
dollars for this act. Over nine millions have beer
paid out by the prize courts thus far, some of the
common sailors. realizing from one to twenty thou
sand dollars each. Admiral Farragut received

ough. So. O2G. The largest amount paid out at any
one time was S3S,318 to Lieutenant Budd, whC

GERMAN PRINTING PAPRR.-An exchange sayi
that the New York publishers are now importing
paper largely from Germany and other parts o
Europe. Since the second year of the rebellion
when American printing paper rose to the hlgi
price it has ever since maintained, We have useC
German paper almost entirely. The bark Il. "
Wood brought a stock of about $50 reams, which
for the two native and foreign weeklies. is a suppl.
for only six or eight months. The Government
press as well as the AdCeTtiser office now receive
its paper exclusively from that quarter. German
newspaper. from some cause, is less in cost thar
either English or American, but it is hardly equa
in quality to that from those countries.
