at Wellington - by authority - by George Dds

the anne title, and it's author was the late veneer
able Archdeacon Williams, the great Maori
scholar and grammarian. There are, also, two
very nicely bound in green and red and gold let

Our youthful Hawaiian traveller, Mr.. +. W.
Damon, entertains the readers of the Friend, in
that journals monthly issue for January, with an
interesting account Of his second excursion ia
Rhineland, including his visit to Bonn and Neuwied,
where be met with two Honolulu boys, now being
educated in the college of Neuwied, and, as may
we'll be imagined, the meeting OF those children of
Hawaii nei in a strange land was mutually pleas
urable. The writer continues the relation of his
FIRST tour down the Rhine, aud gives an enthusiastic
description of the " Luther Monument at Worms"
where the great reformer is seen in Citing compan-
ionship with Woldus, Wicklif. Huss and Savonar-
ola. Mayence, with its souvenirs Of the great
founder of our topographic art, Gutenberg, and
its old Roman traditions of Drusus' death, affords
the youthful traveller occasion to mediate upon
the flight of time since the Roman Sentinels
paced back and forth, ;" on the same soil whereon
be trod. From Mayence to Cologne, the writer
points out TO his readers, in a really beautiful style
which improves as he enlarges bis field of travel.
the charms of the lordly German river, and the
tions, as he glides past . Fair Bingen on the Rhine"
and the :" Mouse Tower" Of Bishop Hatto: the I'm
dine Larlei's rock; Coblentz and Ehrenbreitstein
and chivalTic Rolandseck. Bonn, with its memo
ries Of Beethoven, inspire the youthful traveller
with valuable reflections, and perhaps may attract
him to its classic halls. The great modern Bard
of the Rhine, the immortal Karl Timrock, TO
whom Germany is indebted for the beautiful
Rheinsagen, or poetic legends Of the Rhine, is still,
we think a Professor of the renowned University.
and a course OF his lectures on German poetry
would be Invaluable to a student Of the modern
tongue of Teutonia. The young travellers inter-
esting account brings us Town to bis arrival at
Cologne.

Another Fire.

Shortly after IL O'Clock last Thursday night, Gre
was discovered in the freproof store of Along d
Achuck. on Nuuanu street. I'd door from King
street. The store was filed with a large and
valuable assortment of goods, all of which, not
burned are ruined by the smoke and steam. The
origin of the FIRE yet remains u mystery, although
a box of matches under the counter may have had
something TO do with it. The Gremen who first en-
tered the building, however, testify that the fire was
burning by the door, and appeared to be coming
up from the cellar,-no fire in the office, or any
other part of the store. There was a quantity Of
excelsior, leaf capers, and chinese provisions
stored III the cellar under the office. Mr.. Along
states that the clerks have standing instructions to
look over the building carefully before locking
up for the night and they all declare that this
duty was faithfully performed-One of them carry
ing a lantern in his hand, probably to enable him
TO see any i~ncipient ere more distinctly. Soon
after the cOn1agration of the 18th ult., an insur-
ance was effected on the goods by Mr.. Along to
the amount of $4,000, with an additional amount
afterwards of SIS 900 for six months, and IS, 900 for
one year. making a total of $4,000.
The building belongs to the estate Of the late
Jas. Robinson. and is considerably damaged IN
the part occupied by the above firm. We under
stand that an insurance of $4,000 was effected
upon the building about two weeks ago, which
will probably cover the loss to the estate.
In view of this double warning, we need not
the necessity OF increased care and
on the part of every one to prevent
an even more Obstructive fire than any we have
yet had. AS a commendation 10 the police for the
v~igilant performance Of their duties, we think it
proper that the name of the officer who gave the
alarm should be mentioned. 1t was Kaainiu.

THE sAILOR's HOME SOCIETY IN ACCOUNT WITH CHAf
BISHOP, TREASURER.

Dec. &C. 1877. PaIS9se . m g 81 r,...n,..
Honolulu, Dec. 20, 1877.
TWENTY SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF HONOLULU
SAILORS HOME SOCIETY.
Another year has quietly and rapidly glided
away, and ere we are aware of it, the season for an.
other annual meeting has returned. The affairs OF
the Home have been conducted much as in former
years. The keeper, Mr.. Dunscombe, reports that
during the year, I4s belonging to the sea-faring
community have been entertained in the Home,
including, Is captains, IL officers, I2l seamen.
This report does not include the transient board
ers and strangers from California. The usefulness
and convenience of the Home, to a certain class of
travellers, is as important as the Hawaiian Hotel is
to another class. So far as the management of
the establishment is concerned, there has been no
complaint, but much which is worthy of commen-
dation.
Some repairs have been made, but not much ex.
ceeding the amount of funds in the hands of our
Treasurer.
The Y. NJ. G. A. has been sustained with COM
praise. The Reading Room has
become more and more a place of resort for sea
men. strangers, and residents; scarcely any part
OF the day or evening when visitors may not be
seen quietly perusing the newspapers and magazi-
mes, or writing to their friends in other lands.
No one carefully reviewing the usefulness of the
Home during the year now closing, or during tho
20 or "a years of its existence, but must acknowl-
edge that it is among the benevolent enterprises of
which have proved a success.

BETTER THAN ~HANGING.-Tbere is a story which
will presently 20 the rounds OF the press Of the
the very latest example Of the kindly nature OF
the Queen Of England. Ii is said that on the Sun
day before the Tuesday originally Fixed for the ex-
ecution Of the Stauntons, for the PENCE murder,
the mother Of the two male criminals Travelled
alone TO Balmoral. In Scotland. where the Queen
was staying, in order to ding herself at the Qneen's
feet aud beseech her clenency. Arrived at Balla-
ter, the poor woman could get no conveyance, but
the mail carrier, on learning the nature Of her for
Torn and romantic mission, sat on the leather Gags
and took her TO the castle. Here. after some dIfi.
Guilty. she got an interview with Sir Thomas Bid
dulph, who informed the Queen Of the circum.
stance. Without form or ceremony Of any kind. the
Queen went straight 10 the room where Mrs Staun.
ton was seated, and listened with deep sympathy 10
the petitioners prayer, The Queen promised 10 do
what she could, but said she was entirely Ia the
hands Of her responsible Minister. The painful
interview at an end, the Queen, with metberly con-
sideration, ordering a carriage 10 be provided for
the poor petitioner, and she was conveyed com
fortably to the railway depot on her way home.
Strange TO say, the very letter.bags in the mail
cart on which the poor woman had Travelled from
Ballater to Balmoral contained. among other des-
patches, the Home Secretary's recommendation OF
the reprieye Of the condemned. The Queen. en-.
dorsing IL at once. sent of a mounted messenger
after Mrs. Stanton 10 acquaint her Of the good
tidings.

PoLYSEsIAS ISMIGRASTs IL FIJI,-The following
