Missionary Life in the
7i Sandwich Islands, = 'os

ueHI VI tue CdIu uWlCIl lSldnQS, gives
the following graphic description
Of some of the difficulties that en-.
vironed early missionary life in
that benighted land ,f,-.-. a
When the missionaries first
took up their residence in Honolu.
Ia, the native women would paw
their families frequent friendly
visits day by day, not even clothed
with a blush. 1t was found a
hard matter to convince them that
this was indicate. Finally the
missionaries provided them with
long, loose, calico robes, and that
ended the difficulty, for the. wo-
men would troop through the town
stark naked with their robes fold
ed under their arms, march to the
missionary houses, and then pro: 1o
ceed to dress. The natives soon
manifested strong proclivitys for
clothing, but it was shortly ap.
parent that they only wanted it
for grandeur. The missionaries
in ported aguantity of hats, bon
nets and other male and female
wearing apparel, Instituted a GEN
eral distribution, and begged the
people not to come to church:
naked next Sunday, as usual,
And they did not; but the nation
al spirit Of unselfshness led them
to divide up with the neighbors
who were not at the distribution,
and the next Sabbath the poor
preacher could hardly keep coun-
tenance before the vast congrega-
ton. In the midst of the reading
of the hymn, a brown stately dame
would sweep up the aisle with Q
world of airs, with nothing in the
world on but "stovepipe" hat
and a pair of cheap gloves; another
dame would follow tricked out in
a mans shirt and nothing else /;
another would enter with a -four
ish, with simply the sleeves of
bright calico dress tied around
her waist, and the rest of the gar
ment dragging behind like a pea
cocks tail off duty; stately
"buck" Kanaka would stalk in
with woman's bonnet on, wrong
side before--only this and nothing
more; after him would stride bis
fellow with the legs of a pair of
pantaloons tied around his neck,
the rest of his person uAtrammell-
ed; in the rear would come anothj
er person simply gotten up in a
fiery necktie and striped vest,
the poor creatures, beaming with
complaceney and wholly uncon-
scious of any absurdity in their
appearance.IB a-iaw snu-a .ia 10
The spectacle which the con-
gregation presented, was SO. extra
ordinary, and withal SO moving,
that the missionaries found it DIFF
fcult to keep the text and go on
with the services: and by and by,
when the simple children of the
sun began general swapping Of
garments in open meeting, and
produced some irresistably gretes-
que effects in the course of redress
ing, there was nothing for it but to
cut the thing short with a bene-
diction and dismiss the fantastic
assemblage. IRA f g.baI o45

collapse OF trestle work over culVert De-

BRUTAL OUTR,GE.-A white woman
named Melinda Bell was set upon In house
ln Warren street, Thursday evening, and most
brutaly beaten by Pach Riley, a negro man.
She was kicked on the hips and legs, aud
struck several heavy blows in the breast. A
policeman, attracted BY the woman's cries,
carried both to the upper Guardhouse, but
the man got off by swearing that the woman
was drunk and trying to break into his house.
1t seems that both were staying in the same
house and quarrelled about some trivial cir
cumstance. The woman was sent 10 the hos
pital yesterday in painfully confused condi-
tion, scarcely able to stand. Her Injuries,
however, are not OF a dangerous nature.

cJTY IMPROVEMENTS
Building Operatioions In Nearly Every
street In the City.

4. fall annroaches the old "Cty by the
sea" is putting on new and more al1raclise
face. In almost every street numpei VI
bonses are being built, repaired or repainteo'
Amonp those that have not been alreauy
noticed by THE NEWS are the following;
The large brick residence 10 Hasel street,
nearly opposite Maiden's lane, formerly 'ne

The buildings upon the old Plnckney prop.
erty at the southwest corner OF Guignara anu
East Bay s,reets;have been pulled down, ano
the bricks of which they were composed clean
cd and piled. This property has been recent
IL purchased by the city for the purpose o'
widening Guignard street, which Is four nun
dred ieet long, and is continuation OF Hayne
street, but thirty-three feet narrower. 1t II
the object of the city to make this street the
same width as Hayne, for the purpose of afford
ing a straight and roomy thoroughfare IRON
the business portion Of Meeting street to Eas
Raw and the wharves. A strip of the neces
sary width, extending on the South side one
hundred and eIghty-seven of the four hundred
feet has been already secured. The owners
of the remaining two hundred and thirteen
feet have 30 far refused to sell out to the city
ON acceptable terms, but 1t Is TO be hoped thai
they will soon be prevailed on to make equlta
BILE arrangements. The owners OF the proper
ty on the east side OF East Bay have made
yery advantageous propositions to Council fol
extending the street to Union Wharves
which will probably be accepted as soon as
the other arrangements are completed.
