History possesses fewer examples of more
heroic bearing and self-sacrificing efforts
for the adYancement of the material inter-
ests of mankind than that exhibited by this
noble martyr in his exertiOns TO make
discovery, which, il accom- plished, would
open TO the world advantages beyond COM
putation. But how insignificant are geo
graphical discoveries, when compared with
those that benefit the human organization,
showing how in this life enemies may be
wang uished, how the brain may be invigor-
ateG and rendered capable of gTasping the
most abstruse questions, whether scien-
tific, commercial or mechanical. This can
never be the case while the body is en-
feetled by disease. The blood must be
healthy, all machinery OF body must be in
perfect working order, otherwise the brain
| is weak and total inoSmpetency to grasp the
great issues OF life is the result.
Such discovery has been made by DIR.
| TUTT in his celebrated Liver Pills. They
have accomplished more good TO the human
family than could ever have been attained
by the success of Sir John Franklin.

New YORK, June II, 1876.


My DEAR COAEIERCIAL:-
We left the Centennial City yesterday after three
busy and laborious weeks of seeing the Exposition.
ANYTHING that might be said would seem so
imperfect in view of the great exhibit, that
inclined to say nothing, leaving descriptions and
enumerations TO the industrious correspondents OF
all the papers who are wiring dally-and TO such
correspondents must leave you and all our Island
people vet must say a word about our own little
Hawaiian section 1t was a delightful surprise
to find that made such very creditaoie snoWi
of course our effort could not with advantage De
COMPARED absolutely and simply with the display
made by great countries exhibiting here all their
resources and skill, but comp aratvey and tor US,
it is honorable and handsome. Entering the main
building bv q door the south east corner, near
which the city car lines terminate come at once
to Hawaii The space IS enclosed by tasteiui
structure which the photographs taken will
represent TO you; glass cases give the 'sIGt OUTSIDE
view Of coral ferns the feather capes and leis the
fine map of the Islands, photographs, &c, &c.
Within the structure is everything else which was
sent | need not enumerate, all tasteiulIy anc
effectively arranged. Too much credit cannot De
awarded to our Commissioner, Dir. Hiteheock, for
his management Of the business from the beginning
OF course we have met him daily during our visit,
as we always want, first thing, to see what Hawai-
ians we might meet, or who had registered their
names, either own residents or visrt0rs
| am impressed with the advantage and lmpor-
tauce to auy country especially to such little ones
rs ours anxious to be favoPsbly known TO the
world, and to attract population and capital from
abroad, of putting in an appearance at these
general meetings Of the nations. 1t would have
been a great mistake if we had not appeared here
All that has been done has been favoraby considered
by the public, and the press. Many inquiries are
made as to our climate, soil, resources our people.
our government, and our King, who7e visit here
made so happy impression. 1t was wise 70 pro-
vide the liberal supply Of Thrum's Almanac and
