A LEPERs' NILLAGE.-ln VIM. X.
Bliss new book Of travel in the Sand
wich Islands he describes as follows a
"Lepers Village"
There is leprosy in the Hawaiian blood
but there is none to be seen in Honolulu,
as those who are afflicted with it are sent
to the lepers' village, on the island of
Molokai. To visit the settlements of
Molokai, which is about thirty miles east
of Honolulu, we embark on a clipper
schooner bound to windward to bring
down cargo of sugar from Lahaina-a
town on the island of Nal, where lepers
may be seen on its one broad street. The
island is green with vegetation, but is
nearly deserted There are less than
fifteen hundred persons on it, although
it contains one hundred and seventy
square r,iles. As we ride on horseback
away from the shore up the ascending
plain, in a northwesterly direction, We
pass deserted garden patches, fallen walls
and ruins OF native huts, on which knots
of long grass are waving like signals of
distress. Crossing succession of green
hills we come suddenly to the brink of
the precipice of Kalaupapa, which looks
north to the ocean and is two thousand
feet deep. A steep bride path zigzags
down the front of the precipice, and we
must descend it. Under wreathing vines
white blossoms and swinging trailers,
which adorn and obstruct the descent
into this valley of death, the horses step
carefully and tediously. In an hour they
reach the plain, when a gallop of two
miles brings MS to the settlement. II
consists of detached houses, inclosed by
low walls or picket fences, standing in
open pasture lands and sweet potato
fields. Pepara, banana trees and q
winding brook give picturesque ap-
pearance to the village. Its horizon is
bounded on one side by the flower
covered precipice, which shuts off the
world, and on the other side by the
ocean.
Every prospect pleases, and only man is vile
Every person in the community is lep

or feet, the men till the ground and the
women brade mats. Those who canno
take care of themselves are nursed b,
leper nurses in hospitals. The boys ant
girls go to school to leper teachers, learn
ing the branches Of simple education
which none of them can probably liv,
long enough to appreciate. They leav'
the school with frolicsome shouts; the,
romp across the green fields, enjoying
the air and sunshine like children il
other lands, unconscious of their mis-
fortune.
In grassy field near the seashore
stands little church, visited all day b,
the sun and sea breeze. Here nativ,
minister, leper, leads religious services
on Sunday for his miserable fellows.

MEXICAN sPOLIATIONs.

This is subject of growing import
ance, and may yet eliminate in another
war with Mexico, to result in the absorp-
ton Of that irresponsible Government by
the Great Republic. Habitually, for the
last twenty years, or from time but lit
tie subsequent to the ratification OF the
treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, American
authority has been systematically and
contemptuously set at defiance all along
the international boundaries, and Ameri-
can citizens have been treated with less
respect in that country than the citizens
Of any other nation. We have before us
the sworn proof of n case in question,
from which We are permitted to publish
facts. 1t is in the shape of weil-cor-
roborated affidavit which has been made
here for transmission to Hamilton Fish,
Secretary of State. In 1852 Mr.. Miner,
who had been successful in mining IN
California, left san Francisco TO purchase
mules in the Republic of Mexico. Land
ing at Acapulco, he was told he would
have to go to the City of Mexico to get
the necessary permit, and there he went
accordingly. He obtained at the capital
a passport of the legal authorities, and
license to buy mules and horses and
drive them out of Mexico into the United
States; thence he went to the State of
San Luis Potosi, where he found he
could do nothing until he exchanged his
dust, for Mexican coin. To do this he
went to the city of Tampico, on the Gulf.
While there file of Mexican soldiers, in
obedience to the order of the Custom
House officials, arrested him, and all his
personal effects, including $4,000 in
gold dust, were confscated. He stated
his grievance to Franklin Chase, the
American Consul at that port; but Chase
told him he could do nothing for his
relief, owing to the rebellious state Of the
country" He then called on the British
Consul, who, of course, had no authority
in the premises, and the only result Of
this was an insult to his patriotism--ths
British representative telling him that if
he Twas British subject he would see to
it that the money of which he had been
robbed would be quickly refunded. :"
Next he solicited in his behalf the intlu-
1t T,g,;l,an ,narohant fAr,nar1 10
of New Orleans, named Sanchez, who
called on the resident Judge and stated
the grievous circumstances. The Judge
said he was aware that it was an outrage
against both national and international
law and out-and-out robbery to seize the
gold and other effects Of Mr.. Miner
"but," said he, II would probably b'
shot within twenty-tour hours were | t.
issue an order of restitution And thu
was this American citizen robbed Of hi,
last dollar, and from that day to this h
has been struggling in poverty. We pre-
sumo this is only one of hundreds o
similar cases. 1t cannot be possible tina
the United States will much longer alloy
its dignity to thus be insulted and it
citizens robbed. Now, that the matte
has again become the subject of diplc
macy, we earnestly hope full and con
plete indemnity, or war, will be the alte
natives presented to the mongrels on OF
southern borders.

COLONEL SUMNER.-The arrival of this
versatile gentleman in Eureka a day or
two ago entirely escaped our notice. He
is engaged, we understand, to report the
testimony for the Eureka Consolidated in
the pending trial, and will remain with
us until the great case shall have been
disposed of. Before leaving Phoebe he
delivered lecture for the benefit of the
Catholic Sunday school, concerning the
proceeds of which the RECORD makes the
following mention: Three hundred and
twenty-five dollars was the amount real
lied from the lecture delivered by Colonel
Sumner on the 10Th for the purpose OF

short was the notice given of the lecture.

LEPROsY IN SAN FRANCISCO.

A physician Of San Francisco Of great
experience in leprosy, David ]. Lee, who
has treated the terrible disease in China
and the Sandwich Islands, contributes
letter to the Chronicle on the subject, in
which he says: while searching for lep-
ers, as Medical Officer OF the Hawaiian
Kingdom, several years since, two lep-
rous white men (Germans) escaped me
and fed to San Francisco. One Of them,
l learned afterward. was an inmate of the
almshouse of this county. was called
to examine several suspected cases (Chi-
nese women) at the City and County
Hospital, three years ago, and found one
a well-marked case, the other most prob
ably a leper. Another, native Califor-

least several of them--at almost any time
on jackson street, in the Chinese quarters,
and on one of orr wharves." This terri
BILE disease, which has existed from earli-
est times, and for which there is no
known remedy, is said to be spreading all
along the Pacific coast far down into
South America. AT Acapulco, Panama,
in Chill, in Peru. and throughout the So
ciety group OF islands, it is making fatal
progress, and its features, wherever seen
in the Western world, show unmistakable
Chinese origin. 1t is not improbable, if
the General Government does not speed
lily take effective steps to check its impor-
tation from Hong Kong, that it will
spread over the American continent as it
did over Europe in the Middle Ages,
when, from the Mediterranean to the
Baltic, for two or three generations, the
towns and cities were scenes of wretched.
