Hawaiian missionaries stationed there. The Rev. i
w. L. Alexander goes as delegate from the Ila-
waiian Board. No reiniorcements are sent, as no
have offered that are acceptable 10 the "
Board. Single men can be- bad. and some married \
men have offered, but their wives. as we are in q
formed, object to going. AMI the rule Is 10 send n
only men with their wives. The missionary spirit
would appear not TO DC as strong as formerly a
among the female church members OF Hawaii A N
A CORRESPONDENT wishes TO know II we can In
form him as to whether there Is any system fOl- n
in eXcuvating earth from the slope of 1
near the old brick-kiln. We ID. not 4
think there is, as the course pursued is residing n
in the forming OF n huge gouge In the hillside, Il
in the future will ruin the locality for build 4
ing purposes. With the aid Of water, now u be M
had in abundance, the whole of the hill along n
street would form very desirable buld-D
sites. and it seems foolish, 10 say the least 60

The WELCOME TRADES After the brisk shower
occurred early on Saturday morning last, an old
resident remarked that :" the signs" indicated thatE.
the trade winds would be blowing in about twenty Z.
hours, although at the time and during all Sat

to the prophecy, on Sunday morning the real I,
trade wind commenced 90 blow frcshly.I
at once experienced the beneficial ehangeF'

ever, has since been coquetting all around the cOm-A
pass, mostly blowing from S. L. during this week.

which wonderfully preserves the fire nndI~
Of the original, is by the Rev. l.. Lyons OH
Mr.. Lyons has been remarkably happy ia
rs rendering Of some Of the choicest gems Of Englishl~
'Oetry into the Hawaiian, and has fairly demOn-i IL
trated that the language, in bis hands at least, does
IOt lack IN force aud fertility Of expression. The,
TUObOG, we learn, prints an edition Of four thousand V
opies to-day. We may anticipate that the music of
he " Watch on the Rhine +" will become familiarnp
'llh our mubtc-lONIuS people IN every hamleCT
throughout the islands, and that some wanderer far
rom Fatherland will be delighted 10 hear its strainso =
rom Hawaiian voices when least expected. "
