A NOTEWORTHY ExCURsIoN.-On Thursday last,
Bishop Willis with four members of the Anglican
Mission staff, and twelve of the boys of Iolani Col
lege, made an excursion on foot up the Kalihi
valley, and crossed over the ridge into Koolau, re-
turning to Honolulu, up the Pail. The party left
Iolani College at Z A. NJ, and reached home a few
minutes after z in the evening just before the
thunder storm began. They say they have left the
road over the ridge a good deal palmer than they
found it, and offer the following pieces of advice to
any who intend to take this route into Koolau
C) Not to put on their best clothes. (4) To get a
guide at the head of Kalihi valley. (3) All but
converts of Darwin should see that the guide has
plenty of rope. The progeny of the ape of course
will not need it. Let those who think there is no
spirit left in young Hawaii make a note of this
holiday ramble.

SWEARING OF CHINEsE.-This is what an intelli-
gent Chinaman says about the swearing of people in
the Chinese Courts of justice:
"There is no administering Of the oath in the Chi
nese law courts. What they call religious people
bind their conscience in q peculiar way by going out
in the open air and repeating what they have done.
If they know it is wrong, they look up to heaven, and
believe God will not allow them to live after, and that
the earth will not receive them. Different ways of
binding their consciences are also used; for instance,
if one has done wrong towards another, they bind
their consciences by saying the evil spirit will take
them, if they 60 into the bush wild animals will de-
YOUR them.p

THE WEST INDIAN IN LONDON.

There is not much to add upon the Sugar
Bounty question. NJ. Chevalier, the leader Of
the free trade party in France, is now paying a
visit to his English friends. The sugar refners
OF Liverpool have taken the opportunity of in
teryiewing him. N. Chevalier could not do
otherwise than admit the existence of the
bounty, and he said that the French Govern
ment would take all reasonable means to sup
press it. Then NJ. Chevalier remembered that
he was a F~renchman as we'll as a free trader,
and attempted to turn the tables upon the
Liverpool r~einers by Wanting the superior ex-
c~ellence of the methods adopted by the French
refners, and the greater skill shown by them
in the economical manufacture of sugar. But
the British refners do not believe that their
French competitors are better than themselves
and they point to the manner in which they
have competed with the bounty-fed sugar of
France for some years past as a sufficient reply
to the vainglorious assertions of M. Chevalier.
This gentleman seems to be very sore upon the
question of the deputation to the Government
the other day. The deputation must have
been more than usually effective if it has dis
turbed the equanimity of a man of NJ. Cheva-
lier's stamp. One would have thought that
his large free trade views ESQ large that it is
occasionally difficult to see their limits and
their bearing) would have enabled him to stand

the shock of the deputation better. If that
movement has made even M. Chevalier angry,
what must be the state of mind it has induced
in those who, by principle and practice, main
tain the system of bounties !?
1t has been publicly announced in the Jour-
nal des Fa6ricamts de Sucre that France has
proposed another conference to the other par
ties of the Convention, the object of which
would be to see if those powers will establish
refining in bond, and to make the adoption of
this system in France conditional upon an in
ternational agreement of this kind being ar
rived at. 1t is not known what answer Eng
land has given to the proposal for a conference,
but the only possible reply ought to be that
it can only be held upon the distinct under
standing that it will not affect in the slightest
degree the engagements entered into by the
French Government and Assembly to establish
refining in bond in July Of this year, prospect
i've of the action of the other powers. If the
conference is proposed simply to afford a pre-
text for France running a coach and six through
her W laws and promises, the sooner the
idea is abandoned the better

Positions Of the Ey-GOnfedcrates,

A Washington correspondent of
Dec. 9Th, says:
"a resolution has been prepared by
a prominent Southern Congressman, a
gentleman who was an officer of the
Confederate army aud has been for
years recognized Democratic leader
in the South, declaring in full and def
mite terms that the Confederate war
debt shall never be recognized or as
sumed by the United States; that no
claim for slaves freed during and by
the war shall ever be esteemed lawful,
and that the National credit must ever
be kept unimpaired. This will be
submitted to the House at an early
day, and the utmost confidence is ex-
pressed that it will be adopted with
but feeble dissent. The ex-Conteder-
ates are themselves apparently partic-
ularly anxious to avail themselves of
an opportunity to disabuse the public
mind o. an erroneous impression on
these points

This document was submitted to

The Presidents message is chiefly
remarkable for its exceeding dullness.
Commencing with some general state.
ments as to the changes wrought in
the United States during 100 years,
the education Of the masses is urged
as oil the first necessity for the preser
walton of our institutions, when, he
thinks, can be accomplished by con
stitutional amendment, making it the
duty of every state to establish and
maintain free schools adequate to the
education in the rudimentary branches
all the children, irrespective of race
color or sex, and forblddine the teach
ing of religious, atheistic Or pagan ten
cts for the benefit of any religious
sect. The president sees great trouble
liable to occur before the close of the
century in the accumulation Of vast
amounts of church property not liable
to taxation, and advises such legisla
ton as will put the burden of taxa
ton upon all property equally, wheth
er of churches or corporations, with
the exception Of graveyards, or, pos
sibly, the church buildings. Our re-
lations continue on friendly footing

THE particulars Of the recent
bold bank robbery in Monroe, Mich,
reveal an extraordinary amount Of
daring on the part of the robbers.
They entered the bank building
through a rear window soon after
midnight, and oyerpowered, gagged
and handcuffed the Waterman, and
unceremoniously conveyed him to the
cellar, where one OF the rascals mount
ed guard over him. An old man who
happened to come down the street was
seized, handcut1ed, gagged, and put
into the bank. The night was cold.
and the bank Waterman, stripped to
his shirt, was chilled through and
seemed to suffer considerably. The
ruflian who guarded him, seeing the
state of the case, cautioned the watch
man to keep still, but said they did
not propose to allow him to freeze to
death. Then he went up stairs, got
the watchman's pantaloons and
stockings, and put them on him. Hav-
ing got everything ready the burglars
went to work. The men did not seem
to be in any hurry, or to be at all care
full in regard TO making q noise They
threw their tools on the floor, and
with sledges went to work at the
hinges Of the vault. a very short
time was necessary to give them ac-
cess to the inside of the safe, and to
give them $4,000 in currency and
about $4,000 in bonds. They then
left the bank, first, however, releasing
the hand of the bank Waterman and
blowing up the stove, probably with
the idea of burning the building and
getting better start with their booty
while the people were fighting the fire
The fire, however, did no particular
damage. A livery stable was their
next point of attack. Here was a man
sleeping, and him they overpowered,
gagged and tied. They then took a
horse and buggy, and part left in the
vehicle, the balance of the party steal.
