OUR ISLAND CORRESPONDENCE.
MAINEA. HAWAII. SCI

WAINEA, HAWAII, Sept, 1865.
The dawn Of a delicious morning broke over the
green sloping mountain ridges Of Kona between Ke-
auhOu and the black lava point OF kaawaloa AS
the day Frightened over the gorgeous clouds that
veilel the summit of Mauna Loa, We watched the
v~ariegated lights and shades in the dark green
orange groves, the coffee plantations, and the lighter
hues of the forest foliage. The churches lifted their
white spires through the green trees fresh with the
dews Of the morn, and near one meek and unpreten-
tious church was the scattered hale phi village of the
followers Of the prophet KaOna, the Hawaiian Mil
lerite. The latest feat of his hallucinntion, was his
effort TO scale heaven by climbing a tree; but being
unPrOyided with wings or an ascension robe. he ig-
ANONYMOUSLY failed in the attempt. not TO his discom-
future, however, for he announced TO his followers
that the suspicious time had not yet arrived for his
ascension.
Far as the eye could reach from the brow Of the
bluff above Kealakekua Bay toward the base Of HUI
alalai, n line Of picturesque and pleasant-looking
farm-houses marked the government road leading to
Waimea. We had scarcely a glance at these till We
rounded the dark lava cape and entered the beautiful
bay Of Kealakekua- The deep blue waters of the
bay were calm as n summer lake. and the tall Cocoa
palm groves Of Keel and NapOopoo, cast their fan

steamed close under the majestic and betting bluif
that walls in the bay. Its dark and PERCEPTIONS sides
were marked by numerous caves, which were select
ed as the burial places Of the chiefs and kings of the
islands. High up and apparently inaccessible, many
bars Of timber had been placed at the entrances,
which were rapidly d~ecaying, and others had been
disturbed by the earthquakes giant tread. The
grand and LOFTY bluff overlooking the bright and
beautiful bay, and the vast expanse Of ocean, was Il
fitting place for the mAusOleum Of kings In their
selection Of burial places for the dead the ancient
Hawaiians exhibited n custom analogous TO that Of
the ancient Egyptians Was it an accidental coinci-
dence, or did it originate from a feeling common to
al mankind at that period when superstition reigns
and prccedes the dawn Of 4 higher civilization?

wants. More likely a variety will prove the most
advantageous to the prosperity of the group.
Reference has been made to the japanese cool
Ies recently imported. They appear to have been
engaged in nearly the same manner as previous
shipments of Chinese coolies, under an engage
ment made in japan to serve here three years,
and then 10 be returned to their native country, If
they 80 elect. That the terms on which they
were engaged and the treatment guaranteed to
them constitute the mildest and least offensive
coOlie system known, cannot be gainsaid, at least
50 far rs the details have transpired.
But If this first importation is a fair specimen
Of what may be expected hereafter, the experience
Of the planters is not in their favor. Most Of
these japanese have been found far inferior both
to Chinese and Hawaiians, as field laborers, while
the proportion who are off duty, disabled from
various causes, is unusually large. 1t has been
found that many Of them are nearly worthless as
laborers, some are badly diseased, while most Of
them are vicious, sensual and debauchei III the

we generally enjoyed it. But above all we enjoyed
the life and gladness that nature in her ever-chang-
ing scenes of land and ocean shed around US.
Well, We stopped 1T keauhou, q beautiful village
among cocos groves on a beautiful and symmetrical
bay; we landed freight and took some on board and
pushed on 10 the neat village situated IN the same
bright palm foliage. Then, We steamed on 10 kai-
lua, the ancient seat of empire; but now dilapidsted
and shorn of its former glory, it appeared dropping
ly sad in the declining sun. We went on shore and
enjoyed a picnic in the silent palace of a former
King and listened 10 the music of the waves as they
died along the shore, while enjoying social converse.
The sun set in glory as We went on board. The
moon rose brightly ut ten, we steamed of, the night
was calm, the SCI smooth as a mountain lake, and
daylight found us in Kawaihae.
Breakfasting with our friend W. F. Conway, Esq,
we mounted and rode TO Waimea on the most misera-
BILE plug Of n horse that ever villaiDOus horse
jockey palmed upon a c~onfding and trusting wayfarer.
May his descent 10 the Internal regions be as slow as
my ascent TO Waimea. Il mean the man that hired
me the horse-) L more than worked my passage.
The horse was wall-eyed, kBock-kneed, cat-hamed,
bow-shinned, spawned, sprained and wind-galled,
sore-backed, tender-footed, with all the ills horsetesh
is heir TO, and wasn't well himself. l spurred, kick
ed, shouted and coaxed in vain. l nearly sutfocated
myself with smothered maledictions, the wear and
tear of patience was terrible, and my indignation
was fiery, indeed, when every passenger horse and
foot passed me on the road. If l ever meet the
" cuss'' who palmed him on me, I'll spur him some
what faster than the horse ever went. After excru-
ciating toll, l arrived at G. r. Lindsay's, (the Court
House) at Waimea. The judge and bar but one had
arrived before me, and | met clients clamorous and
with woe-begone phizzes expecting TO be defaulted,
and all on account of that dull, inanimated steed. L
managed 10 get him 10 Lihue and ordered him unsad-
died and shot Immediately. ReguisScdt in pdce-an

will hear from me again before l leave Hawaii. So
