WORLDS FArR.-At last the announcement is
made that the great Snowman and his incom-
pariblc show is to visit Sunbury. The entire
vast and colossal exposition now on its home
ward march, will exhibit in this place. on the
10Th of this month, and we have no doubt but
what twenty thousand people will be on hand on
that day, to sec and be seen.
We find in the rehabilitation and reequipment
of his last new venture, Mr.. Barnum has dis
played more than his usual enterprise, for in less
than six months from the time of the disastrous
fire which consumed his Great Show on the oath
day of December last, In New York, we find him
on the road again with a new combination of
attractions every where conceded to be three
times larger than ever.
I The Garth has been searched for novelties and
attractions, and Mr.. Barnum to-day has the sat
isfacton of knowing that he has the greatest
travelling exhibition now known, and that the
thousands who daily crowd his tents go away
satisfied That they seen the biggest thing out.
The great street procession, three miles long,
usually takes place early in the morning OF the
day of exhibition, aud we advise our country
friends who wish to witness it to be on hand
early in the morning ofthat day.

is to disparage our people and country, giving
chiefly the shady side Of life here, and not fur
nishing a full and impartial Statement. such as
personal observation on each of the islands might
hare afforded, and such as candid seeker after n-
formation desires. One reading this book in
America or Europe, would get the idea that
we live among savages and in the midst Of
volcanic country, liable at any moment to be
deuged with tidal waves or buried by volcanic
eruplions. Yet, with all these blemisbes there
is here and there, in the book, very pleasing
description Of our scenery, which is so cap'ivat-
ing to those who come here from the dreary land
scapes of the Pacific slope. The following is
from page 2O3:
1.-THE scenery about Honolulu presents charming
pictures to stranger every day. 1t is scenery
that will bear favorable comparison with any sum
mer scenery in other lands. Luunging IN our
randas, and gazing at the panorama, We lind new
attractions ia 1t daily. The great feature of the
scenery is the mountain range running through the
length OF the island behind the city These noun
Iaius throwing spurs toward The sea, divide the

tween submits, but are, rather, amphii heaters, rs-
ing away from The plains where the scenery shifts

Our Law of Homicide.

We-beleve that few changes in the law con-
corning homicide would make it less sanguihary.
more in conformity with popular feeling, and
therefore more effectua in preventing crime.
Murder is defined by our Code TO be - The killing
of any human being with malice nforethought,
without authority justification or extenuation by
law" And the Code declares that " when the
act of killing another is proved, malice afore-
thought shall be presumed" Would it not be
more just if no such presumption against inno-
cence we're made. and if some proof were required
to show this main Ingredient Of the ofense
Malice may be inferred from slight evidence, as
the manner Of the act. the means used and so on.
Manslaughter, says the Code, differs from muir
der in the absence of malice aforethought. In
the common sense Of all men, there is an i'm
mense difference between a murder committed
deliberately by premeditated design, and homi-
eide by person excited by sudden passion or by
intoxicating liquor To say that intoxication
only aggravates the ofsnse, as the law was
formerly ruled, or that person is legally as guilty
who forms the plan of the act on the instant as
when intended beforehand, causes jnrymen to
hesitate in their verdcts, and too often ends in
q failure TO agree, or in conviction of lower
grade of the offense than the jury would think
warranted by the facts, were it not for their dis
inclination to afix the death penalty to an act
committed 10 the heat Of excitement
Our earlier laws made two degrees Of murder,
the first degree being that committed with de-
liberate premeditation, or in the commission of
or attempt to commit rape, robbery or burglary,
or any other crime punishable with DEATH" II
our Code were modified so as to provide for two
degrees Of murder. there would be fewer capital
punishments, and fewer cases in which the jury
feel compelled to disregard tina instructions Of
the Court upon the law, and to come in with
verdict for less offense than was committed.
We should not then see, as we now do the
anomaly Of verdicts of guilty with recommends
ton to mercy, for that is merely finding murder
in law but not in fact in its full enormity.
There is kindred topic, of great interest, to
which we will only allude, for it would carry us
into the consideration of legal capacity to CON-
nit offenses Of any kind we mean the favorite
defense of emotional insanity, 10 which there is
wide divergence of view between lawyers, med
ical men, judges and the public. 1t is delicate
subject for lawmakers to handle, but that we'll
considered legislation upon 1t is possible and de-
sirable, is undoubtedly true

The Den1h OF Capt. maI1.

And the unfortunate termination Of the Arctic
Expedition fitted out in 1871 by the American
Government, adds another 10 the long list of fail
ures in attempting to solve the North Pole prob
lem. We give on our fourth page all that Is
known at present regarding this expedition and
the death Of its commander. 1t is hard to avoid
the conclusion that Capt Hall met his death by
foul means, and if so, it must have been from
some one of his party, who had determined that
he should not win the prize just within his reach.
There will probably be an investigation on the
return of the officers and crew to Washington.
The evidence, SO far, points strongly to Captain
Buddington, who went out as sailing master Of
the Polaris and with whom Captain dali had
trouble before the vessel reached Halifax, which
arose from doubt as to who commanded the ex-
petition. -Buddington or Hall. The dispute
was settled by the captain of an American war
vessel then at Halifax who decided that Capt
Hall commanded 1t is possible that from this
arose the trouble which resulted in Capt. Halls
death. Capt. B, was formerly well known here
as whaling master, and bore the reputation of
being very severe with his men. He is distinct
" charged in some of the papers as being the
sole cause of the disaster to the expedition, and
of the death of its commander. But, whatever
may have been the cause OF Halls death, it will
put quietus to any further attempts to reach the
"open polar sea" for some time TO come.

The Report of the Hawaiian Board was pre-
scented in the English and Hawaiian languages,
by the Corresponding Secretary, Rev. j. F.
Pogue, showing continued prosperity in the va
rious branches of work in which the Association
is engaged The election of members Of the Ha-
waiian Board, and Of Secretary and Treasurer,
resulted in the continuance of the former incum4
bents
The Association approved the action OF the
Hawaiian Board, submitted to them, assuming
the support and direction Of the nine Samoan
teachers hitherto supported in the Gilbert Islands
by the London Missionary Society. This, how
ever, must have the sanction Of the Samoan
Committee Of the London Missionary Society,
residing at the Samoan Islands, by whom these
teachers we're originally sent to the Gilbert
Islands, before it can take effect. When this
arrangement is completed, then the missionary
work among that interesting people will be under
the control of a single Missionary Board. 1t is
to this people that Rev. Hiram Bingham is now
conveying the completed New Testament in
their language.
Action was taken on the subject of leprOsy, as
reported below.
The Island Associations were recommended to
appoint committees to visit and exhort delin-
qaent churches to the due support of their pas
tors also to seek for suitable candidates for
theological edscation.
A full report of the proceedings Of this Asso-
citation will be given in Supplement of the
Friend for July.

The Ikutou Abolished.


From time immemorial, every person who en-
tered the presence OF the Emperor of China has
been compelled to perform kutou-the act of get
ting on ones hands and knees, and in that alb
ject way creeping toward the sovereign. OF
course no European or American ambassador
would disgrace himself or his sovereign by such
degrading servility, and as a consequence none
have ever been admitted to the Emperors pres
euce The only exception is that of Sir Frede-
rick Bruce, who after the victory of Peho, de-
manded an audience with the Emperor, and met
him, only as an Englishman should meet an En-
peror-standing erect. The last advices from
China announce that the young Emperor has
abolished the kutou, and henceforth foreign anu
bassadors can appear IN his imperial presence.
The Chinese Empire has for several years been
governed by a regent, Prince Kung, one of the
abest and most polished statesmen that ever be-
came prime minister. Early in this year, the
young Emperor attained his majority, was married
in great state, and assumed the reins Of govern
ment That he is wise and sensible man, de-
sirous of cuItivalng friendship with other nations

ing the degrading custom of EutOu

The Farmers i'm America

Are waking up to protect themselves and their
farming interests. A new organization, called
the Patrons of Husbandry, is springing up all
over the United States, aud extending with ra-
pidity which is marvellous. They profess to seek
protection against the growing tyranny of rail-
road corporations, which charge for carrying their
grain and produce to market, two.thrds Of all it
sells for. Also against the colossal power Of the
grain rings which now control the prices of pro-
duce to the injury of the farmer. How they ill.,
tend to go to work to protect themselves we are
not Informed, but it is probably by the election
Of representatives and senators pledged to their
interests. The Secretary Of the National Grange
Of Husbandry states that five hundred and seven
ty-fve oranges or lodges have been organized the
past year, mostly in the Western States. That
they will, if united, exercise powerful influence
against railroad rings, grain rings, and land rings,
is not to be doubted. A somewhat similar organ
zation is becoming established among the far
mers in England, but can probably never control
the influence there that it will in America.
When our readers see the term Grange Of 'Hus-
bandry, they will know what it means-a society
or lodge Of farmers for their mutual protection.

that Mr.. VIM. p. Ragsdale, who has been living
for three years at Hilo, praciiciDg law, has be-
come a confirmed leper, and was conveyed to
Molokai by tue last trip Of the steamer. During

very rapidly 10 bin, and he has become, we are
informed, one of the saddest cases now in the
hospital. As soon as he found that the disease
was rapidly developing, be acted with noble
courage, made up his mind to separate himself
from his family, and remove to Molokai. In this
respect be has shown true patriotism, aud we
trust that ALL be they natives or foreigners,
who become lepers, will see the necessity of at
once adopting the only proper course before them
Ito separate from their families and consent to
become isolated for the public good. We pledge
them that the Government, the Legislature. and
the people will not be backward to provide
everything necessary for their comfort They
