OF the Roumanian army and division

Mr.. Armstrong; Lecture.

SOME twenty and more years ago, there
came a rumor from Old Yale College, where
some of our Hawaiian boys were under
graduates, that there was one who would often
prepare essays or orations for his classmates.
We were reminded of this old Iumor as we
listened to the nicely polished sentences, we'll
balanced paragraphs, and fnely-rounded
periods of Mr.. Armstrong; address, at Ly-
ceum Hall, OH Friday evening last, before the
Young Mems Christian Association. There
is something exceedingly pleasant in listening
to an address in which the words are well
chosen and the illustrations are apt, even if
you do not fully respond to every idea which
is uttered and every proposition enunciated.
1t is good to have ones thoughts awakened
and the mind aroused. The choice of his sub
ject, lessons for the Hour" was in itself
suggestive. A lesson is something to be
learned. Mr.. Armstrong indicated that there
were several political and social elements at
work upon the islands which required to be
shaped and directed, or results far from de-
sirable would assuredly follow, but which
only needed to be moulded Alright, and our
islands would take high position among the
civilized and refined nations of the earth. 1t
was not mere knowledge" which would pro-
duce such results, but knowledge supplement-
ed by understanding" Some of his illus
trations under this point were exceedingly
well put.
We learn that copy of the address has
been requested for publication, and the read
ing public may judge of its merits from
perusal. We cannot, however, refrain from
expressing our delight to see one after another
of our Island boys" return educated and
talented men, and to know that while abroad
they have occupied positions of influence and
fields of usefulness. 1t has been pleasant to
meet Mr.. and Mr.. Armstrong and Miss Lud-
low in various social circles during their brief
sojourn. They left for their home yesterday,
waited by the kind wishes and cordial dlohds
of many who have formed their acquaintance
and esteem their friendship.

The Eastern Campaigns.

ONE scarcely knows how much credit to
give to reports of Russian affairs (says the
Alta), but taking them as true, it must appear
to the reader that the Russian campaigns,
both in Asia and Europe, have proved dis
appointments to other nations as we'll as to
Russia's Emperor and people. Her troops
commenced in Asia with a series of grand ad-
yances and successes, and the Turkish COM
mander was forced to retire until the Porte
sent Commission of Inquiry, when he asked
not to be forced to explain his course, for he
had effected condition of things which would
enable him to advance and triumph. He was
as good es his word, and the Russians were
driven back and defeated in various directions,
and forced to give up their siege of Turkish

WE are indebted to Dr. A. NJ. Shew for a
copy of the eleventh report of the Connecticut
Hospital of the Insane, of which he Is the
Superintendent and. Physician. During his
stay here, he has visited our Insane Asylum
and other public Institutions, and also made
flying trip to the volcano of Hawaii, which
included the circuit of that island, during
which trip we had the pleasure of his COM
pany. The Asylum over which he presides
has from five to six hundred patients, the treat
ment of which has been very successful, ow-
ing in part to the system of out door life and
manual labor introduced. The farm worked
by the patients yielded during S76 an income
of nearly eleven thousand dollars. The same
plan, to a certain extent, has been introduced
here, and such patients as can, are engaged in
cultivating taro, bananas, &c. DR.. S. returns
home in the steamer to-day, and we wish him
pleasant voyage thither.
