its merits was manifastly wrong. That the case
was prejudged, that money and influence were
used to defeat the Government without 4 fair
trial by law and that not only certain newspa-
pers but high officials arrayed themselves against
the Government and against the officer bringing
the charge cannot be denied. He was told that
8 1t was his duty to inform the merchants as to
the laws of the United States, and not to set traps
for them to fall into" Does any one suppose
that those merchant princes, Hackfeld & Co.,
were ignorant of the revenue laws of the United
States, or that they cared for those laws so long
as they were well paid for their work and ran no
risk? But a big monopoly had been insulted ;
6 1t was the duty of this Government to protect
their own merchants, and a Consul was not paid
a salary to act as a detective or informer.''
Shades of Blackstone, defend US! Ii We catch a
burglar attempting an entrance through our par
lor window, We must " inform him of the laws
and request him to try the kitchen door.
1t is time this senseless twaddle about ''spies"
and 3 informers > was rebuked and put a stop to.
1t our merchants cannot make a living without vio-
lating the laws of other countries they had better
sell out to those who can, and not depend upon a
" protection " from this Government which we
viii guarantee will never come. Hanging
men for doing their duty is played out here,
whatever it may be in " OUR () COUNTRY"
We only add that the case has been decided
against the Refinery at every turn their " ap-
peals - to the Secretary of the Treasury refused;
and, Notwithstanding their boast that they : in
tended to import these sugars continually" the
practice has long since been dropped, as too pal
pably an attempt to defraud. Whether the fine
be RENTED or not is q question that only con-
Germs those pecuniarily interested. The Refinery
and their whilom agents ought to have learned a
lesson, and we leave them with the injunction,

The "I1efOrlncd Catholic
Cp

There has been during the past few weeks, or
since the return of Bishop Staley, a slight IN
pleasantness existing in the above church, and
several very excited meetings are reported to
have taken place. We need not go into details,
nor give the various reports which have reached
our ears; but are happy to state that entire har-
mony has been restored, on 4 basis satisfactory to
all connected with the church.
Bishop Staley will return to England soon by
steamer, and has rendered TO the Archbishop of
Canterbury his resignation as Bishop of Honolulu.
All the members of the English mission will
retire and return to England, either by this or
following steamers. Rev. Mr.. Williamson, (for-
merly stationed at Kona, on Hawaii has been
invited to come out from England, and become
the pastor of the church here, the character of
which will be changed to that of Episcopalian
as known in America. Rev. MIR. Mason will
o~ficiate here until the arrival of the new minister.
These changes, We understand, are acceptable to
the MEMBERS and congregation of the English
church, who will cordially sustain Mr.. William
son.
Thus, after seven years trial, the experiment of
building up an expensive ecclesiastical establish
ment, unsuited to the wants of the place and
repugnant to the tastes of the people, has proved
a failure, and will be abandoned. The basis of
the new arrangement will be simply a church to
supply the religious wants of such of our foreign
and native population as from education or choice
prefer the Episcopal service. So long as this
remains the object of this institution we shall
wish it God-speed, for none more sincerely desire
or will strive for harmony and peace among the
various Christian demonstrations among us than
ourselves.
The establishment ffere Of the reformed
Catholic Church " and English Bishopric was
one of the visionary schemes of the late r. c.
Wylie, and never met the cordial support of
either English or American Episcopalians for
the main object appeared transparent from the
first, to be political rather than religious. We
might refer back to the files of our paper and the
numerous articles which appeared in the early
history of the English mission, and reproduce
sentiments then expressed, which are now veri-
fed ; bat we forbear, as we have no wish to be
oensOrious.
All who seek the prosperity of the church of
Christ will rejoice that there is now a prospect
that the Episcopal service may be established
here in a way that will secure the sympathy and
support not only of all Episcopalians, but of
members Of other denominations.

The GALE ON MoLOKAI.-The gale of the 23rd of
December was very severe on Molokai. A CORE
spsndent writes us that it commenced about 4
o'clock in the afternoon and by 8 O'Clock that even
ing had reached its height, but continued to blow
until about daylight of the Oath. Dust, sand and
even pebbles were borne along by the gale, striking
houses and persons exposed to its fury with much
force. Several frame buildings were blown over,
and in one instance about three hundred feet of
picket fence, the redwood posts breaking in some in
stances. The clouds of dust and sand reached ves-
sells twenty miles at sea- At times persons exposed
to the force of the gale were compelled to lie down to
prevent being driven helpless before il.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, of Sorosis, to
divorce them from their shackles and eman-
cipate them from their Heaven-imposed sub
lection to man. They are now ready, Sir
knights, to applaud your chivalrous exploits
and equestrian skill, and they will not disdaln
to wear the crown which men only can win,
and which never becomes them so well as
when knighthood entwines the laurel, and
chiyalry bestows the wreath. Not that the
spirit of true womanhood is wanting among
them,-the sublime heroism to do and to dare
where duties imposes an obligation, or pa
triotism exacts sacrifice. But the grace,
the softness, the diamond, like polish of char
acter, that spiritual combination which dis
tinguishes the sex, and exalts them whole
atmospheres above the dust and the turmoil
and the vulgar conflicts of life, that must be
guarded uneffaced and ineffaceable, or society
lapses into barbarism, and savage nature re-
claims its brute dominion.
Let the strong>minded bloomers of Sorosis
continue to vent their spleen against woman's
subjection, and to rave ike mad for univer-
sal emancipation from the Divine sanctions of
authority. But so> long as that Law lasts
which proclaims the man the head of the wo-
man, the Christ is the head of the man,
society has nothing to fear from the innova-
Love, or the pagan fallacy of natural selection
among mankind. In our late civil war many
American mothers sent their sons to the field
with the Spartan injunction to do their duty
WELL When footsore, wearyand hungry, the
SCARED veteran of twenty fights appealed for
succor to his helpless government, and relief
there was none, then the Southern mother
filled her heroic soldiers box from her own
scanty board, and sat knitting his stockings
far into the nights, with busy fingers and
beautiful fidelity to country and child
Sometimes, before the flying needles had
completed their task, the courier came with
tidings of the absent son-came to tell her
that the fatal bullet had sped him on his way
to Heaven, and robbed her of her priceless
Jewel till the last day. The wall of agony
escaped from the broken heart; the binding
tears rolled down the pallid cheeks,-but
then it was that the mothers sacrifice was
illustrated by the grander play of woman's
devotion. The tears were dried in the sor.
rowing eyes, the bursting heart was stilled,
the fingers were at work once morei the
stockings were deftly wrought, aud the next
and only surviving son was sent to the field
with that mothers benediction, to fight his
couutry's battles and shoulder up the musket
of the darling dead.
Happily, Sir knights, many such mothers
are still left in the land. Some of their rep
resentatives are here to. day to witness your
martial sports and share in the Joy of your
chivalrous exploits. Prepare for the charge,
and may the knightliest lance of the Tourney
lead in the charge and point the way to the
throne.

How to Dress in Hot Weather.

Halls Journal of Health gives the follow
ing suggestions as to the manner and nate
rial of clothing during the cheated term:"
For all persons, especially invalids and
those who take cold easily, thin material of
wOOlen gauze, next the skin is safest and best,
because
First-It is a non.conductor, carries heat
from the body more slowly than cotton, linen
or silk. All colds are caused by the body
becoming colder than natural, especially if il
is made colder rapidly, aud wooIen material
next the skin is the best thing known to pre-
vent this rapid cooling, especially after exer-
else which has caused perspiration and does
not cause that dissagreeable sepulchral damp>
ness which wet linen does when it comes in
contact with the skin.
The warmer the weather the more need for
woolen next the skin hence British sailors are
required to wear wooden next the skin in trop-
ical latitudes, in summer, as the observed
protection against disease.
An garments worn next the skin during the
day should be removed at night and spread
out for thorough airing and drying.
Cotton is the best material to be worn next
the skin at night. All changes from the
heavier to lighter clothing in summer
should be made by putting on the lighter
clothing at the first dressing in the morning
It is greatly safer for children, for invalds
and old persons to have too much clothing
than too little.

a TorcHINo soENE.-A touching soeno
is related by gentlemen as having occurred
during the decoration ceremonies yesterday.
A little girl entered the cemetery carrying
wreaths of beautiful flowers, and fastened to
the side where the Confederate dead lay, and
proceeded to place o wreath on each grave.
a friend of hers approached her, saying
"But, Susie, those are the rebels graVes"-
Sho replied, eyes, know it, but my pa was
a soldier, and died in Libby prison, and is
buried down south; SO much hope some
little girls there will strew flowers on his
grave l thought would bring these and
put them on the rebels graves. May be some
of them have little girls at home, you know"

JEsTIwG UPoN SCR1PTURE.-The evils
arising from this practice are greater than
appear at first. 1t leads, in general, to irrev-
erence for scripture. No man would jest
with the dying words of his father or his mo-
ther; yet the words of God are quite as SOL
emn. When we have heard comic or vul-
gar tale connected with text of Scripture,
such is the power of association, that we new
er hear the text afterwards without thinking
of the jest. The effect Of this is obvious
He who is much engaged in this kind of false
wit, will come at length to have large pOr>
ton of Holy Scripture spotted over by this
unholy fancy.

SINGULAR ARITuMET1cAL FAcT.-Any
number of figures you may wish to multiply
By 5, will give the same result if divided by
2, a much quicker operation bat you must
remember to annex cypher to the answer
when there is no remainder, and when there
is remainder, whatever it may be, annex a
to that answer. Multiply AGA by 5, and
the answer will be 1920; divide the same
by 2, and you have 232, and as there is no
multiply by 5, the answer is ] ,795 on di-
viding this by 2 there is 179 and remainder;
you therefore place at the end of the line,
and the result is again 1,795.

DoN'T STAND STILL-If you do you will
be run over. MotiOn-action-prc progress -
these are the words which now fill the vaults
of heaven with their stirring demands, and
make human hearts pulsate with stronger
bound. Advance or stand aside do not
block up the way and hinder the career of
others there is too much to do now to allow
inaction anywhere, or in any one. There is
something for all to do; the world is becoming
more and more known; wider in magnitude
closer in intcrest-more loving and more
eventful than of old. Not in deeds of dar-
ing; not in the ensapguined field; not in
chains and tcrrors not in blood, and tears.
and gloom; but in the leaping, vivifying
exhilarating impulses Of better birth OF the
soul. Rcader-are you doing your part in
