A Lepers' Village in the Sandwich
Islands.

Islands.
In William r. Bliss's new book of
travel in the Sandwich Islands, he
describes as follows a Lepers' Vii.
lage:
There is leprosy in the Hawaiian
blood, but none of it is to be seen in
Honolulu, as those who are afflicted
with it are sent to the lepers' village.
on the island of Molokai, which is
about thirty miles east of Honolulu,
we embark on clipper schooner
bound to windward to bring down a
cargo of sugar from Lahaina-a
town on the island of Mani, where
lepers may be seen in its one broad
street. After rolling to starboard
and rolling to larboard all night long
the schooner "heaves to" at sunrise
off the southern coast of the island.
and we are set ashore from a small
boat in the little harbor of Kaunaka-
ki. The island is green with vege-
tation, but is nearly deserted. There
are less than l,5OO persons on it,
although it contains ITO square
miles. As we ride on horse back
away from the shore, up the ascend
ing plains, in a northeastern direc-
tion, We pass deserted garden
patches. fallen walls and ruins of
native huts, on which knots of long
grass are waving like signals Of dis
tress. Crossing a succession of green
hills we come suddenly to the brink
Of the precipice of Kalauppa, which
looks north to the ocean and is 1000
feet high. Below from the foot of
the precipice stretches plain, di-
versified with hills and wales and
reaching to the distant shore, where
it curves like scythe into the sea,
turning up a white swath against the
trade wind. The plain is covered
with luXuriant vegetation; but we
see no life on it. Here and there a
few brown huts catch the eye. Far
on the right are dots of white houses.
That is the leper village. A steep
bride path zigzags down the front
of the precipice, and we must de-
scend it. Under wreathing vines,
white blossoms and swinging trailers
which adoTn and obstruct this de
scent into the valley Of death, the
horses step carefully and tediously.
In an hour they reach the plain,
when a gallop Of two miles brings us
to the settlement. 1t consists Of de-
tached houses, inclosed by low walls
or picket fences, standing in open
pasture lands and sweet potato fields.
Papara, pubala, banana trees and a
winding brook give a picturesque
appearance to the village. It's hori-
zon 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 this community
is leper. Of those who have not
sore hands or feet, the men till the
ground and women braid mats.
Those who cannot take care Of them
selves are nursed in hospitals by lep-
er nurses. The boys and girls go
to school to leper teachers, learning
the branches of simple education
which none of them probably can live
long enough to appreciate. They
leave the school with frolicsome
shouts; they romp across the green
fields, enjoying the air and sunshine
like children in other lands, uncon-
cious of their misfortune. In a
grassy field near the sea-shore stands
little church, visited all day by

On Saturday the 25th report came to Ra-
gersville that a fellow by the name Of JEFF
Davis, {, who once before had been arrested
at Ragersville, for attempting to rape a
woman, was again on the ''war path, and
had attempted to rape little girl twelve
years of age and a young woman near
Neweomerstown. A warrant was issu-
ed, and the fellow was captured about
four miles from the latter place, and ta-
ken TO the former place for trial. The tri-
al was commenced in the school house.
and as he had been tried at the same place
and for the same crime once before, it Gre
ated no little excitement, and the people
were not slow to express their feelings,
which enraged the Devil J" and he threat
.ened to burn the town and kill his captors.
