even in trade circles The various stores devoted to Novelties,
TOYS and Christmas attractions have opened up their stocks
for the season. apparently carly in time for city selections, but
none too nuch 90 for the benefit OF orders or selections for the
other Islands. The Christmas Auction sales also promise ear
" and frequent opportunities for parties to make up stocks.
The arrivals during the past week have been all from San
Francisco. VIZ schr Cassie Hayward via Lahaina, schr
Mary Swan via Hio, and schr Ninnehaha direct. The latter
comes to enter the cOasting service here, and is in size and

DEATH OF AN EARLY CONVERT.

The manifestations of divine mercy are no
where more striking than in the lives of the good.
When instances occur of a long lifetime of piety,
closing with the humble hope Of a blessed immor-
ALPHABETICALLY when the departed have lived
i'll our midst,-it may be useful to bring them to
the notice of the community. for the edifcation
and encouragement of the living. In a country
like this, so recently redeemed from pagan be-
nightment, all good christians must rejoice to find
that there are bright examples of true christian
life to be met with amongst the native population
of these Islands. Such a bright example may be
recorded il the case of a venerable native Hawa-
iian woman, who departed this life on Nov. 9th,
at Nuuanu Valley. Her name was Julia KeaN
loha she had been a widow for the last twenty
seven years, and she is supposed to have been in
the eightieth year of her age at the time of her
demise. She was born at Hamakua, on the Is
land of Hawaii, in the year 1898, as far as the
date can be ascertained. When thirty years of
age, she became a member of the Mission Church
of Lahaina, only a few years after the arrival of
the first christian missionaries at these Islands.
During half a century she continued a worthy
member Of the church and she had the special
privilege to be engaged for one half of her long
lifetime, in the same missionary family, that of
the REV. D.. Baldwin. Her love of prayer and
her exemplary conduct edited all those who knew
her, and for this reason she was greatly beloved
by her pious Hawaiian brethren and sisters.
During the whole course of fifty years, from her
first admission to church-membership down to
her dying hour, never was there heard even one
word of accusation or suspicion against her spot
less christian reputation. Her death was like
ceive her eternal reward with the hope of a true
Christian and a good and faithful servant OF the
Lord. To firm believers in the religion of the
Christ, it must be both edifying and consoling to
read the simple narrative of the earthly career of
this poor old Hawaiian woman, a contemporary
of the great pagan conqueror Kamehameha, and
an eyewitness of the arrival of the first Christian
Missionaries upon those then heather shores,
who occupied for fifty years the very hottest place
in the fold of the Church, unnoticed by the null
titude blindly bent upon worldly ~yanities, while
she sought alone to lay up treasures incorrupti-
BILE and eternal. Her edifying life and holy end
may well claim a serious thought even from the
most frivolous and w~orldly-minded, and it is a
pleasing duty for us to record this bright exam
pie of a truly christian and ~virtuous life-how-
ever lowly-amongst the converted women of the
once pagan and benighted Hawaii mel. There
are but few left of her sort. She

Emancipated Bondsmen of Turkey, and
their Champions,

The horrible atrocities perpetrated by Christians
In Turkey can never be adequately described by any
hnman pen that of the recording angel alone has
power to depict them in their true colors in the Book
of Eternal Doom Unfortunately, there can be no
grounds to doubt the dreadful accounts which reach
US from different quarters. on this subject. The cor
respondent of the Daily .NaWs. on the one hand,
and the kilograms of the New York press on the
other, furnish terrible pictures of the brutality both
of Bulgarians and Russians. 1t is instructive to
read what those reports relate of Bulgarian and Rus
sian barbarities. The Daily .Nelcs correspondent
says:
"The Bulgarians commenced operations by seizing every
man, woman, and child Of the Jewish community and forcing
Them into the synagogue and its courtyard, which seems TO
have been fenced on with iron ratings. The richest men
amongst them were then summoned by some OF the Bulgarians,
and q demand was made for a large sum of money. Some de-
muir naturally arose for the moment, SO the Bulgarians hast
ened the decision by firing between the ratings into the crowd
ed courtyard. eighteen people being killed at the first discharge.
without further parley, the bodies of the dead being searched
for their contribution. Next a demand was made for the few

operation by cutting of the ears or fingers Of any miserable
This occurred on a Saturday, and the next day the Bulgarians
devoted a small part TO religious observance, and a great part

their friends. The elder of the town. Aaram Ben Kanetu, the
richest Of the community, saw his two daughters seized in
their turn. and prayed that he might be spared the horrible
sight by being killed al once The response to his prayer was
that two men who were armed with hayforks placed a prong
in each ear, and threatened that if he attempted to turn away
his head they would thrust them into his brain. Iii declared
that the maddeEed father then seized one Of the forks, and
thrust q prong into his own eyes rather than witness the
shameful outrage on his offspring; and, as he fell in agony at
the feet Of the Bulgarians who had him in charge, they merci-
fully ended his torment by prodding him TO death with the fork.

The DIFFICULTY" CoMPLICATED.-P People who
talk of a Russian conquest of StamboOl. seem to

will be thereby definitely settled. Now, in reality,

Turk had to decamp from Europe, he would still
hold his ground on the Asiatic banks of those two
Straits. His forts would still command their pas

would be at the mercy Of their guns. So that even
with the Russian conquest of Stambool the Eastern

even still more serious for England, with Russia
taking a foot-hold on Asia Minor.
