In which light England regards the recent occur
rences at Samoa may best be inferred from thu
following Times extract " As regards the future
of Samoa any one who knows anything of the South
Pacific will see it in the past of FIJI. British
interference will be brought about sooner or later
by exactly the same reasons, that in the main caused
it in FIJI. On one hand the influx of energetic
whites from Australia, on the other q naughty and
warlike race impatient of the restraints of law and
as restless and shifting as its own native sands
Moreover the three groups of FIJI, Samoa, and
Tonga are as it were each complementary to the
other. They form o triangle, the apex of which
Is Samoa, and the base Fiji and Tonga, they are
connected by tradition, race aud language and by
an ever increasing commerce Geographically they
belong as much to Australia, as he Hacaiiaa
Islands belong 10 America. England may be 10th
to interfere, but she must do so sooner or later,
although the impulse may not come from herself,
but from Australia and New Zealand. A confederation
or protectorate of the Samoa and Tonga groups
might easily be arranged and indeed now for many
reasons seems to be the fitting time.'

SUDDEN DEATH.-One OF the bandsmen died sud
denly last Tuesday evening, nnder circumstances
that appeared to require an examination. a post
norton was accordingly held al the request of
Marshal Parke, and Drs. McKibbin and Hutchin-
son reported that the man died from congestion of
the lungs. While this was undoubtedly true, the
evidence ELECTED the fact that death was FASTENED
by intemperance.

in the Standard. whose correspondent writes as
follows -

There are photographs and some paintings Of

some strange articles Of native handiwork. Tahitian

the field at the head of a native contingent, and
displayed such personal courage at the assault and
capture of the Otapawa Pa. that he received the
high distinction of the New Zealand cross. Besides
being chief of the executive Of the province, he was
several times employed by the Colonial Government

CENEENNGAL CHRISTIAN HoMEs.-The
great number of visitors in Philadelphia,
during the Centennial Exhibition, nee
essitates the opening of private homes
for board and lodging. Many Christian
families, who are unwilling to open their
doors to promiscuous public, have ar
ranged plan by which they give admis-
sion to Christians and their friends. This
will be equally pleasant to Christian peo-
pie abroad who may not wish to be
associated with the great variety of
character brought tcgetAer in hotclS and
public boarding houses.
In order to have this select class the
price Of board is generally much lower
than prevails by other arrangements,
varying from SIS to $l4 Il week, and from
81 to $3.50 per day. Each family fixes
its own price, and receives its pay
direct from its guests. Those wish
ing to secure places under this arrange
ment will please write as long before

Reply to Bert Darlington,

Mr.. Editor In the last HERALD Bert
Darlington advocates the building of
dam on the Johns river, and wishes who
ever have any objections to speak out. l
know nothing about the Johns river, but
l know all about the Androscoggin, and
if that is specimen of other rivers 1 can
safely say that dams are nuisance to the
farmers, | own the lower half of what is
my father did before me. We used to
swim our oxen or horses on in the spring,
and in the suRlmer and fall cart off the
hay and grain. Although crossing the
river was always inconycnient, it was not
impossible or even dangerous. But now
the river is kept bank full Of ice cold wa
ter the whole season. | have to take my
team across on ferry boat from the ether
side, and one year cartcd my hay from
the other side distance of over two
miles, which with an OK team is no fool
eff Il job. This is only the waste Of time
and strength, but when you take into the
account the waste Of rods ofSoil every year
it makes quite an item. Nearly every farm
in town is as bad under water until late
in the seasOM. | talked with one of the
owners of the dam last fall and he argued
that the river was a public highway and
he had as much right to drive logs as he
had to drive cattle in the road Granted
that he has, but then he, nor any other
man, has no right to let his cattle tear
down lot of my fence and destroy a crop
of corn or potatoes, and OH the same
principle he has no right to let his logs
come smashing and jamming down against
my island, tearing out great chunks of
grass ground, nor to stop and pile up, the
whole width of the river, flowing the wa
ter back OH TO my ploughed ground to
soak the life all out of 1T.
Bert Darlington estimates thc flow
age on Johns River at 1000 acres, valued
at a certain number Of dollars, which the
lumbcrmen would gladly pay. I suppose
flowage damage is the same Us railroad
damage. Somebody tells you what your
laud is worth, and you may take their
price oryoumay go without 1t. My ideas
as to the justice of this way of doing
business is ga in muddle, like poor Ste.
phen Blackpools, but it does seem rather
rough on fellow who has worked hare
for years, clearing and improving his land
building his house and barn, laying Out
his yards and orchards to suit his own
ideas of convenience or beauty, to have @
rich lumber merchant step up and say
1--WE intend to put in dam that will flow
10 feet of.water over your intervale. The
land is worth $500; here's your cash!'
Perhaps q man might think more of lii
farm than he would Of II ton Of green
backs, but what docs the capitalist care
for that; We all realize that money
makes the mare 70, and the poor fellows
that go afoot catch the dust Write an
other glue stGrY, Bert, but don't, for thu
sake of justice inculcate any more dan

GUIIDHILL, w., June 3, 1876.
The day is fast approaching for the ma
ilonal conventions. The politicians are
all in the field with their friends to sound
their praises, and to proclaim their entire
fitness as well rs to insist on their rights
to be the nominees Of the conventions.
Meanwhile the people are looking to the
record of the two parties, past, present,
and prospective, and are demanding in no
uncertain language that we have men Of
purity of principle selected as standard
bearers. The present session o. Con-
gresS has brought to light the animus Of
the old Democratic party, which Is still
in power, being the same clements that
controlled the party before the war. The
Southern Democracy, strong IN the old
traditions OF tic party, denounces ''negro
suffrage" and the laws that secure it.
The Northern Democracy, better compre-
hcnding the spirit of the country, cries
'for Heavens sake hush - ''think what
you will, but don't talk about it," But
the old record tells. 1t is a party which,
for a generation adhered to policy
which was not only at war with civiliza-
lion and the principles Of the American
government, but which outraged the
moral sentiment of mankind. 1t snccred
at what it called ''moral Ideas" it de-
nounced the negro and defended slaTery,
not alone as guarded by the constitution,
but as sanctioned by christianity, and
productive of the welfare of the slaves
The party is what its traditions ard hab-
its have made it; it hates the negro; it
regards the Union as the monument of
its defeat, and as a party would be glad
to undo all that the war and rcconstruc-
ton have done, but not as a whole party,
and acquieScc in the settlements of the
war.
The fact remains therefore, and the
country must bear it constantly in mind
that whatever few democrats may wish,
the party does not heartily acquiesce in
the national settlements Shlcc the war
The party is mastered as it has been by
its worst elements, It's most positive
men and convictions controlled the two
last national conventions, and it remains
to be seen whether it will be so ruled at
st. Louis. The great duty of the Repub-
lican party is to guard well the fruits of
all its great moral victories. 1t is still to
insist that justice be done to all of its
citizens. III Il word, it is to maintain in
tieXibly, all that it has done and done so
well. This must always be done with q
constant regard forsneW issues, and qucs-
tions that will arise, remembering that Il
party in country Of active progress and
Intelligence can not rely upon questions
with which it has already dealt, but must
wisely deal with the demands of to-day.
There is a severe contest before us, it is
already going on among the politicians,
for personal success at the conventions,
but the people demand something BETTER
and are scanning men and movements,
and measures with q Watchful eye, care
fully listening to the voice that comes
from the sclf-constituted independent
convention that lately met in New York
city.

ON THE WORKING OF SATAN.

On THE WORKING OF SATAN.
Satan's work is carried on too much over all the
world, with all nations.
Here is a bad thing the worlds fair. Let us hear
what Solomon says: The eyes of man are
never satisfied with seeing, neg the ear with
hearing; hell and destruction never are full;
this has a tendency to draw many together and
ill them with dissipation.
Here is a dreadful way of the working of satan !;
In pFl9e. telling what is called white lies, and
fashions,
Let us hear what Malacbi SAYS The day eomets
that shall burn as an oven; all the proud yea,
they that do wiekedly shall be stpbble; it shall
burn them up; it shall not leave them, neither
root nor branch. saith the Lord of hosts.
Unto you that fear my name the sun of righteous
ness shall arise with healing in his wings, and
we shall tread down the wicked; they shall be
ashes under your feet, saith the Lord of hosts.
Don't let us be deceived by satan.
On the doctorlng of the body: If we have what
is called tumors. felons, cancers, &c, don't let
us have them cut out, but go to the Lord for aid
and cleanse and purify our blood. Satan is de-
ceiving all nations.
Many prophesy this world will come to an end in
TheMtomcs the end. Then the wicked may call
for the rocks and mountains to fall on them,
but they shall flee away. The Psalmlst says
the wicked shall be turned into hell with all the
nations that forget God.
