A. j. Cart,oright. Esq, Chairman Relief Committee,
Honolulu:
My DEAR SIR Your valued favor of the Goth of
November, to w. c. Ralston, Esq. San Francisco,
RENTING fifteen hundred dollars gold, in aid of our
sufferers by fire, has been forwarded to US, and is
most thankfully acknowledged.
This contribution from far-of Honolulu fills US
with gratifed surprise, and is the best evidence Of
the quick sympathy with which Christian civilization
responds to the call of distressed multitudes.
Insbehalf of these sufferers We beg leave to tender
to you, and through you to the gentlemen of the
Committee, and the generous donors to the fund, the
expression of heartiest gratitude. On the 9th inst,
there were 1925 families dependent upon this
relief for their partial or entire support, and to these
impoverished citizens the cheering intelligence shall
be conveyed that the people of the distant islands in
the Pacific send liberal aid and sympathy. Indeed
it is only through the bounty of a world that we are
enabled to provide for the daily wants of all these
thousands, and if any other evidence was required
to show that our unexampled calamity had evoked a
charity as broad as our civilization, this gift would
establish it.
1t gives me pleasure to enclose to you a copy of
our late Mayors proclamation, committing this great
charity to the care of this society, and our Executive
Committees circular of November 7th, showing
something Of the work. In due time a full report Of
contributions will be published, and a. copy forwarded
to you.
remain, dear sir, very truly yours,

New STATEs.-It is stated that at the present ses-
sion of Congress three new States will apply for adj
mission into the Union, and two new Territories will
ask for incorporation. The new States proposed will
be Utah, Colorado and New Mexico, and the new
Territories are TO be known as Pembina and Okala-
homa. Pembina is, or is to be, a country on the
Red River of the North, to extend from Minnesota to
Montana, and from the 10th to the 49th latitude.
Oklahoma will be only a reorganization Of the
Indian Territory. If the Territory is formed, we
may soon see an Indian member taking an active
part in the business of the National Congress.
To the admission of Colorado we presume there
will be no objection, Utah must be renovated of it
Mormonism before it can come in, and as toNews
Mexico, it probably has not sufficient population,
although it may have. The people of the new States
are becoming anxious to take part in the politics OF
the country.

WHALERs FOR THE ARcTIo.-The Republican
Standard of January 11th says:
Since the receipt Of the news of the abandonment
of the Arctic whaling feet eight vessels have sailed
from this port TO prosecute the fishery in that ocean
next season-ships Europa and Jireh Perry, and
banks Active, Arnol1a, Camilla, Illinois, Triton, and
James Allen. Two of these, the Europa and Camilla,
were being fitted before the news Of the disaster was
received, and the Active was ready to sail. Bark
Joseph Maxwell will also sail from this port for The
Arctic next week, and bark Acors Barns will be dis
patched from New London this month. Bark Maui
titus, of this port, has sailed from 81. Helena for the
same ground, by orders from home, and bark Live
Oak, on the New Zealand ground, will sail for the

Sea Breeze and Trident had sailed for the Arctic be-
fore the receipt of the news, and with barks Midas,

An American sensation experienced by the
Grand Duke Alexis was the receipt in Chicago OF
thirty or forty letters, all from females, asking
assistance in some shape or other. One young
lady, from Western New York, begged, through
six closely-written pages, for a sum to enable her
to marry a widower whom she loved dearly.
They were both 50 poor they could not marry
without money. The Duke instructed the Mayor
that if lie found in the letters any appeal he
deemed worthy, to honor it in a moderate way.
Who would not be a Duke?
The Emperor and Empress of Brazil have
made themselves very popular in their European
trip, and the latter has just added a new feather
to her cap and shown herself a woman Of nerve
and heroism. While at Naples, the Imperial
party visited the famous Azure Grotto. The
Empress remained outside in a small boat.
Suddenly the helmsman, by whose side she was
sitting, fell overheard, and would have drowned
had she not caught him and held him up till
help could arrive.

Advice to those Advanced in Years.

The following suggestions for the preservation
of health and strength during what are generally
regarded as the declining years Of life, arc from
an article on . Old Age by Chas. IL. Brigham,
in the Herald of Health
/. The first Of these counsels is 10 take regular
exercise. Ii is a mistake 10 suppose that the hl-
terlng step, ami the sitter Joints, and the har-
deued bones, indicate incidence, and tell one a.
lie down i'm the house from morning until night.
Exercise Of the old bones and muscles is just as
necessary as exercise Of young bones and muscles.
-. And this leads Us TO say that old age should
not only have regular exercise, but also some rag
u}gr occupation, some duty and service which may
occupy body and mind, something more than a
few chores, the odds and ends Of the house.
3. And old age also has appropriate play. It's
gravity need not be perpetual heayiness. IL is
not 10 be sequestered 10 serious duties. and him
dered from mirth, because il has got beyond the
time of sleigh rides, and dances, and frOlics. The
old ought to amuse themselves in every lawful
Wav.
/. Yet it is needful TO say that in exercise and
work and play, old age should be moderate, and
not 90 to the extent Of exhaustion, that there
should be as hnls as possible Of fatigue to limbs
or to brain. An old nan may not safely be Tired
our. Frequent rest is a good resort in this con
dition Of Ife-chaIrs which are easy aud a couch
which is convenient.
5. Old people will find great relief in the society
Of those ichO are younger. Because the sympa-
thies of the old are with each other, because they
are likely to view things in the same way, and to
have common memories, il by no means follows
that they have no right 10 associate with young
people. The young find advantage in the wisdom
of the elders, and the elders find quickening in
:he enthusiasm of the younger race.

Henry Ward Beecher preached a rousing
Christmas sermon-one full Of cheerful hope and
bright philosophy, and liberal withal. We have
room but for this striking extract
The world is growing in its school Of morals.
Compare modern art with the antique. Ancient
architecture will scarcely be surpassed. But art
now is d istributive. 1t is in this way we surpass
antiquity. am glad there was a day of cathc-
drals. Now we have something better. Cathc-
drals are no longer of use. In former times they
let men live IN mud novels and erected stone
cathedrals. Art is now above and beyond this.
There never was a time in the history OF the
world when art did so much as mt present. We
have no Michael Angelo, no Raphael, but we
have scores of men who understand and appre-
ciate nature, and look through nature up to
natures Cookbook at the school of landscape
painting to-day. 1t is Of more account than all
medieval schools put together. Still more as
t%onishing is the development OF the Christ prIn-
cIple in a popular literature, full of good will to
men, full Of the spirit of Catholic humanity.
Dickens books, from beginning to end, Tadiate
this spirit of the brotherhood Of man. Thackeray's
scarcely less. This spirit of brotherhood IL
growing among governments. There is a hui
mainly in war never known before. Consider
the bands of organized women whose business il
is to look after the sick and wounded. This
spirit, unknown before, has been lent TO Europe
during her last struggle and now, when we
hear that disputes between governments arc to
be left to the cool and calm arbitrament Of
mutual friends, may we not imagine the voices
of the angels chanting, d" Peace on earth, good
will toward men !" All things now are obliged
to pay toll and tax to the convenience and
comfort of the poor and the helpless, everything
has to pay heed to the great wants of mankind
The incarnation is going on-the Christ spirit
growing. l see steps leading to n glorious
union. We only need heart. There must be
more of that charity which allows men to differ.
Piety must be more than doctrine, goodness
more than creeds. Remember this Christ is
always coming all parts of human society are
gradually moving up into the atmosphere Of our
Savior.

The commission given by the Gar Alexander
to General LIE Flo, to visit Versailles and present
to Theirs his afectionate greeting, has great
political significance. 1t is not only a token Of
personal regard, but a clear testimony that the
Thiers Government is cordially supported by
Russia. While, therefore, this friendly act OF
Emperor Alexander strengthens the present Gov
eminent of France, it deals a fatal blow to the
hopes of the Legitimists. Orleanists and Bona
~partists. Napoleon still believes that the present
Provisional Government is illegal and that his
claims to the Crown will not be defeated except
by a plebiscite he therefore defers action until
the people are called upon to vote on the perma-
nent form of government in France. But this
manifestation Of friendship made by the Car in
favor of Theirs, as also the support he has re-
ceived from every other nation, will have the
effect of making the people vote in favor of a
man who is popular at home and abroad as against
a very unpopular one.
