Lovely SayRges.

These SamOans are the most lovely race of
savages with whom 1t has been my fortune to
meet, they have not the fiat noses, thick lips
triZZled hair of the negro type, but have dis
tinctly European features, and a very pleasing
expression. The color OF their skin is rich
golden; their whole.costume is limited to q light
fringe of grass round the waist, and the women
coIfne themselves in the way of tattooing to a
couple Of thin blue lines across the lips. The
NTH are OF great physical strength and euor NJ
Gus stature; they have a queer disdain for us
whites, and say that while we employ brute
force, 9. g., Armstrong guns, etc, like bull,
they have the reason and intellect of the child
who runs away from che bull. They live a hap
~, graceless life; the earth unasked produces
her treasures In abundance; they have no need
10 dig when all Is ready to their hand. They bask
Ia the sunshine, or battle in the cool waters of
some retired cove, and cannot understand
why we should came to thrust our business
worries upon them, to buy their land and
grow cotton and sugar, and dishgure the TO-
mt ntic picturesqueness of their island
with convenient but intrusive -oads; and above
all, why we should send missionaries, who can't
agree among the mseves, and who attempt to
/ trOduce all cOncealing garments, of which
The want was before unknown. 1t isn't half as
pretty dress as the garlands OF fresh flowers
with which thew love to adorn themselves in
their srtess and primitive simplicity. They
ere not moral, according to our ideas-far from
1t, but they have 3 strong sense of the aesthetic,
and chastity does not rank as virtue among
them, where the reverse is no sin. Thew are
very clever at hammering out shillings into
rude silver rings between a couple of stones
and they also bring for sale little tortoise shell
ornaments, inlaid with silver. Their couture
might have come from Paris or London. for
when was there bright red hair was in vogue
They plaster their heads over with lime for a
few days, which destroys the original color of
the hair, and produces a loud saffron tinge.
When man becomes enga ged, the fair financee
OFTEN clips her flowing locks, and brings them
TO her Adonis, whe plaits them In deliberately
with his own, producing most elaborate head
dress. The disgusting way in which they pre-
pare kaya, an Intoxicating drink, by chewing
has often been described, and l do not care to
repeat it. Strangely enough, the Samoans are
just one day behind all the rest of the world
Their Sunday should be the same day as in New
Zealand and Australia, but, as their mssiona-
ries came from the east of them, and forgot to
miss out a day in their reckoning, they have
perpetTated mistake. 1t was Monday on
board the Nevada when we touched at Pango-
pango, but with them 1t was still the Sabbath,
AID in consequence we were unable to trade to
any large extent.-The Wonderland Of the Anti
podes.

One day while Was in England, an English
lady inquired Of me at the table, " Is 1t true
rows into your country ?" Upon my stating
that we had done 20 for the purpose Of clearing
our trees from caterpillars and like vermin, che
not know, but this 90 know, they are terribly
destructive to our grain; my husband estimates
his losses by the depreciation st one hundred
pounds, tabout i've hundred dollsrs,) snpu-
ally"
There is an cid saying. The substance Of
which 10 eth at we should encourage the orns-
mental, for the useful will take care of ITSELF"
IL being assumed, I presume, thst mankind
knows it 10 be for their interest TO encourage
what is useful, requiring no spur in that direc-
prove true in its application TO the English
sparrow question; for unless with change OF
continent they change their character, which is
not at sill likely, if some speedy seton is DOT
taken in the step to protect the ornamental,
they Will ultimately bring great loss 20 the
grain interests of the country. 1 note by the
