The Sanoa or Navigator Islands.

EDITOR GAZETTE Permit me to submit TO you
some facts in regard to the Samoan or Navi-
gator Islands, that may be interesting to those
who contemplate emigrating for the purpose of
making them their home. The islands of this
group are all Of volcanic origin and like all vol
canc islands are mountainous. In the interior,
steep precipices and impossible ravines charac-
terze the surface. Hard basaItic lavas cover the
ground, and vegetation draws its nutrition from
the slight soil accumulated in .crevices of rock.
Hence on all such portions of the islands, there
is no chance for the agriculturist for many years
to come The SUBMITS of the mountains are
crowned with craters and cratercones, some of
which are filed with water and form lakes Of a
mile or more in diameter. Such is the case on
the island of Upoln. These lakes would be
pleasant and romantic places Of resort, surrounded
as they are with dense and variegated tropical
vegetation, il it we're not for the climbing of al
most perpendicular precipices, and the frequent
rainfall, causing the forest to become perfect
bath of steam.
The Samoan Group consists of eight islands
that are inhabited. They are generally surrounded
by a coral reef, and the beach sand is a mixture
of coral and lava. The island of Upolu is the
most FERTILE and contains the greatest popula-
ton. This island is the second in size, and is
about twenty miles across and over thirty miles
in length, with mountain range throughout its
whole extent trending from Northwest to South
east This mountain range. with its abrupt
precipces inaccessible ravines craters and crater
cones, occupies more than two-thirds of the whole
surface OF the island. The rock is very hard
and compact basat. and IN Its disintegratOn forms
but little clay to hold moisture, and were it not
for the frequent rains the soil would be very
barren. At little distance from the beach the
soil is composed of loose gravel and large bould-
ers of hard lava. From every ravine there is a
stream Of pure soft water. and where these rivers
empty into the sea there is more soil accumu-
lated and in these coves and on the little plateaus
the natives have their villages, and there all the
cultivation Of the soil is done. Here, the cocoa
nut, breadfruit, banana, yam, and sweet potato
I grow in great abundance. The cocoanut affords
all the business trade Of the islands. Sugar Is
not produced as yet and have my doubts
whether the soil Is capable Of growing good
quality Of cane. During a three months resi-
dence never saw cane either growing or in the
hands of the natives with joints more than two
inches in length. There is plenty Of wild cane,

Another Yankee Notion.

About year ago, says the correspondent Of
the Sacramento Union, the Boston Young Mems
Christian Association, bought large building
on fremont street for their own use and paid
100000 of the Sl25OOO which was its price.
The balance of $4,000 it was intended to raise
by subscriptions, and this would undoubtedly
have been done had not the great fire occurred
and reduced many generous givers to comparative
poverty. Many plans were proposed, some of
them involving the Fair idea; but Fairs are
played out the public is tired of them, with
their multifarious appliances for plundering visit
ors At last new idea was conceived by one
of the members, and it was received with rapture
by his associates Of the committee and heartily
Endorsed by the association.
"0n the 2Sth of next April Bazaar of All
Nations is to be opened in Music Hall, and will
continue twenty.four days In it will be illustrat
ed the architecture costumes, street scenes,
shops. and many features Of the domestic life Of
twelve nationalities-Swiss, Chinese, Italian
etc. Models of the dwellings peculiar to each of
these peoples will be erected in the hall the
signs, decorations, implements of each will be
faithfully reproduced, and genuine representatives
of each will be put on duty to render the repro
duction more thorough and life-like. The street
scenes of many lands will be curious and inter-
esting feature of the exhibition, IN which the
visitor may see the Italian flower-mart; the don
keys. pannier laden, just as he travels the cities
Of the East bands of musicians performing on
their national instruments the veritable Chinese
plying the cheerful chopstick; the Highlander
with his skeene, etc. a stately mosque will rise
in the hall, and from its miuarets q bona fde
Muezzin will utter his call to prayer. In order
to fit it for this exhibition the hall will undergo
extensive and expensive alterations, and the out
lay for preparations will be very large. Two of
the committee will sail for Europe to make pur-
;hases for the bazaar which, by the way is to
ier attractions to the visitor not only in strange
lights, but in novelties of various kinds, which
will be offered for sale. The project is thoroughly
novel, and may prove very successful in Pc
cuniary way"
Letters have been received here from members
of the Association, inviting contributions, and
any who are disposed to help in the novel show,
will have their gifts forwarded if left with S. b.
Dole, Esq, prior to April LIST.
