WORTHY OF ArrENr1oN.-We find this paragraph
in q late American paper:
.sIn Demarara DR. Feauperthue, the discoverero OF
the celebrated cure for leprosy. is dead. He died
suddenly while lustructing the English medical
commissioners in the mode Of treating the disease
On the theory~that no stone should be left I'M

TIE FRIESD.-The July number of our venerable
contemporary (now in its S0th year, is full to over
flowing with good reading. Its ordinary issue OF
| eight pages is increased to sixteen By 8 supplement,
in which is printed in full the minutes of proceedings
and the tenth annual report Of the Hawaiian Evan
gelical Association. By this will be seen what the
Hawaiians are doing for missions, and we commend
the Friend as an excellent periodical to send to
friends abroad. -
CLIMBING MoUNrAINs.-In our cooler moments, it
is a matter for astonishment how venturesome and
fool-hardy men will be in exploring the wonders of
nature. This is brought to mind every time we see
or hear of the daring and thoughtless descents that
are made by tourists into the crater of Kilauea
where sometimes hours ore spent in traveraing a thin
crust that barely concesls q lake of fire. A couple of
years since, Clarence King and a comrade made a
daring and perilous ascent of the Rocky Mountains,
and now we have in scribner 8 for June, a thrilling
account of the ascent Of Mount Hayden, "a new
chapter of Western Discovery . by q party of tour
lists. There are several striking illustrations of hair
breadth escapes by these " tempters of Providence"
p On Tuesday evening last we had the pleasure
of attending one of those interesting reunions which
all naturally feel interested in, and in which if they
have not already been the principal actors, 1t is to
be hoped they some day will be. We refer to the
wedding of Mai. J. Bates Dickson and Miss Isabel
Holden, which took place at the residence of the
brideCroom's brother Mr.. J. G. Dickson, and was q
most brilliant affair. The rooms were t~astefully dec
grated with evergreens, and a sumptuous supper was
spread for the numerous guests who had assembled
to congratulate the happy pair, and who had also,
Judging from the elegant presents on a side table,
expressed themselves in q more substantial manner.
While gazing on the happy scene, and listening to
the sweet music which the Hawaiian Military Band
discoursed, we could not but help plying a few poor
bachelors whom we saw, and who seemed ashamed
of being caught in such a place. and on such an Oc-
casion; we would advise them to go and do like

Harrison. 1t is certainly the prettiest thing of tn
kind ever seen in this country, and is pronounce
as beautiful by every one. Coach painting, it

nine distinct branches, but Mr.. Harrison has in thi
n instance combined in himself the skill of all. Mt
chanical skill in execution is not alone required t
secure perfection in a job of this kind, but goo
taste and artistic knowledge is equally requisite, I
carry corresponding effect in the blending an
barmonizing of colors. This has been attained i
the present instance. If any one thinks we al
