The YoUSG MES's Christian Association of
Honolulu, by IN arrangement with the editor OF
the Friend, have the control Of the LAST page OF
that monthly Journal. on which from time to time
appear some extremely well written essays con-
tributcd by members or the Association. The
issue for the current month contains one or these
essnys, which is peculiarly suggestive and inter
esting as touching upon n subject too much neg
Ieeted heresoore-the relation between mental
idIeness and the decline Of the Hawaiian race.
Assuming the position which We have always
believed was the correct one,-viz that the Gov
eminent here. should be essentially and particu-
larry a paternal One-the writer suggests, in
effect, the establishment OF n State Educational

wholesome mental pabulum that shall prove the

to keep idle minds from drifting in q wrong

TIE AMERICAN papers Of late have been full Of
apparently wonderful accounts Of the "materiali-
zatiOn OF spirits" as witnessed at Philadelphia
in the person Of " Katie King a young woman
who is supposed to have lived some two hundred
years ago, and Of numerous apparitions at the
- Eddy Brothers" farmhouse in a secluded
valley Of Vermont. In most cases in Vermont
these visitors from the spirit world are not only
seen, but are felt, and enter into audible eonversa-
ton with the spectators. But what strikes US as
very unsatisfactory is, that the information vouch-
safed by these apparitiOus is quite vaIueless. They
talk vaguely, or sing, or dance, or weave IS spir-
itual cloth, bat none, 50 far as we have read the
accounts, tell US anything about the new life; in
that respect we are no wiser than before the
advent Of the spirits. That this spiritual business
is not all impOsturc or illusion. seems admitted
by the wiscst and coolest heads what the truth
about it is, remains yet to be seen.

JOURNALISM As A BUsISEss.-In commenting upon
the failure Of q newspaper manager, the st. Louis
Globe tells q plain truth in the following words
The business Of journalism will continue to be an
inviting field for experiments to those who have q
large amount Of egOtism- A man who, having edited
a newspaper until he was forty, should suddenly an
nounee himself q lawyer, would be regarded as q
fool BY the legal profession; and yet we often hear
Of lawyers Of forty making sudden pretensiOns to
journalism. There is an idea that the business of
editing requires no apprenticeship; that editors come
forth from law Offices and colleges fully armed for the
profession, like Pallas from the brow of JoYe. 1t is
q mistake; there is not in America to-day o single
journalist Of national reputation who has not devoted
more time and more hard work to his profession than,
with equal fitness and application, would have made
him q great lawyer or q good doctor. And yet nine
ty out Of every hundred men you meet on the street
will hesitate about carrying q bod or making a pair
Of shoes, whereas there will probably not be one in
the hundred who can't, according to his own judg-
ment, edit any news paper in the country better than
1t Is edited. no matter in what manner or by whom.

Governor Joe, of the Osages, is an Indian of the
sort that our English cousins would style "a
thorough good 'un. /" his idea concerning men and
things being as advanced as they are sensible.
Unlike Uncle Ned" he advocates in the stron-
gest terms the desirability of taking up the shovel
and the hoe, and going to work with them. and in
support of his position he points with a very natu-
raj pride to the good that has come to his people
since their Great Father in Washington began to
make them presents OF rakes and hoes and that
kind Of thing. As a Governor Mr.. Joe is clearly a
success, and We are glad to see that the Commits
sioners OF Indian Affairs are disposed to make
much of him. Indians of this description, in point
of rarity. bear a distressing resemblance to hens
teeth, and when one is found he deserves to be trea
ed with marked consideration.

MAGNETISM VERSUS STEAM.--A very interesting
experiment was lately made in England, by which
a small yacht was propelled by the action of
wrought iron electromagnetic upon cogged cast
iron wheels attached to the shaft of a screw pro-
peller, and attached by wires TO a battery in the
engine room. Contact was made and broken by
levers worked by cams, which kept the magnets
alternately in vivid action and reaction. by which
the motion was made continuous. II one was to
take a good many things for granted, it would be
worth while specializing upon the probable effect
on the coal market should this motor be utilized
for marine purposes but until the experiment gets
fairly beyond the small yacht, prices will probably
remain as they are.

The Southern papers abound In state ments that
large numbers OF colored voters cast their ballots
for Democratic candidates. One good turns de-
serves another. These same papers have all along
asserted that the former masters of the freedmen
were their real friends. Now that the black man
has signifed his belief in that theory. we hope that
the whites will do their share in j~ustifying his con-
fdence. Lynehings, Ru-kluxings, and all such un-
pleasant demonstration of white dissatisfaction
with the colored voters, should disappear in this
era Of good feeling.

A New Invention in Telegraphy.

The FrankTurteT ZeifEng announces that an off,
cial in the Bavarian telegraph service has succeeded
in making an apparatus which, if found to be of
practical utility, may effect q revolution in the pres
ent system Of telegraphy. The anne of this gentle
man is H. Becker, and the apparatus he has coz
structed, and to which he has given the name Of
electromagnetic copying machine" appears to be
q perfectlng and improvement of Casellis invention.
The proprietorship of the apparatus has already been
purchased by the banking firm of Messrs. Oppenheim
& Well of Frankfort. Without any assistance from
the operator il gives q fac simile of the original man
uscript telegram in whatever language written, sig
natures, portraits, music, plans, etc., conveyed tele-
graphically to any distance, and in such admirable
perfection that in comparing the original with the
copy scarcely any difference can be discovered.
eve, ourselves says the above named journal,
" witnessed the transfer from one apparatus to
another not only of the lines of welcome issued by
the Committee of the musical festival recently held,
profusely ornamented with instruments, wreaths of
laurel and oak leaves, as we'll as symbolical ara
besques, but also of bills of exchange filled up and
signed, state dispatches in cypher, kilograms written
in Greek and Hebrew characters, police notices with
the portrait of the person wanted, military maps,
such as a general might send to his subordinates to
explain the situation described or mentioned in his
written dispatches or orders, together with the usual
service communications as telegraphed from one sta
ton to another. All objects intended for transmission
by this apparatus are written or drawn with prepared
ink, on silver paper, which is then placed on a re-
yolving cylinder, and then telegraphed of to its des-
%tination, where it is received on clean tissue paper,
and reproduced with most wonderful exactness."

this time not arbitrarily, but because it is certain that
the former country cannot have sooner completed her

for a conflict that it believes it knows the casus 6eHi
