A Wedding Ride.

At the present day, nothing less than a Cortland
Co.'S carriage, or one of West & Chayter's best,
will satisfy our young people as a conveyance when
they 60 to church to get married. Let the sons
and daughters of Pilgrim ancestors read the follow
ing and blush for their degeneracy
Horses were scarce at the first settlement Of the
United States. 1t is not recorded that they were
introduced into the Plymouth colony until about
twenty years after the landing of the Pilgrims
but the young folks would have to ride, notwith-
standing. When John Alden was married-and
John Alden was q great man in his day, a worship
full magistrate and counsellor withal, and q great
favorite with the ladies. insomuch that he made
nothing at all of cutting out the removed Capt.
Standish, who cut down the Indians like stubble-
when John Alden was married, there was a great
carrying on about Cape Cod, where he wooed and
won the captains intended, Miss Priscilla Mullens.
the great belle of the cape and colony. He YVES
determined to do the thing in style, as became a
gentleman, so he put a ring In his bulls nose,
covered his back with a piece of broad-cloth, mounted,
and rode to the wedding. Miss Priscilla might
well be proud of such q husband ; and, to prove
herself worthy of him, she resolutely mounted the
bull at the moving home, and ambled along without
fear, while her gallant spouse led him by the nose,
and walked proudly by the side of his valusbles.
The gentleman who led, and the lady who rode,
were the ancestors of some Of the first families in the
country, including members of Congress, heads
OF colleges, and two Presidents of the United
States.

That Ocean Horror.

I'VE recently gave an account Of the rescue OF
four persons from a japanese junk off the coast
near San Francisco. The following, copied from
the Japan Gazette, gives full particulars of the ILL
fated vessel j
The 2. NJ. steamship CITY of Picking brought with
her. on the last voyage from San Francisco, two Of
the shipwrecked crew and two of the passengers Of
the japanese junk TSubit-Hdru, who were sent
home by the Japanese Consul at San Francisco.
The Mdi Nichi Shinbun gives the following &C
count of their s%hipWreck
The Junk, which was owned by one Baba, Of
Higashi Iwase, Gechiu, left that port on the 18th
May. last year. with a crew OF twelve, and three
passengers. and arrived at Hakodate on the 18th.
She lett Hakodate and proceeded to Akiyoshi,
Kushiro, about l60 ri northeast Of Hakodate.
After loading at Akiyosbi with sea-weed. dried
fish, and other cargo, and taking on board nine
passengers, she again left for Hakodate. While
she was on the way, a gale arose on the night Of
the 18th October (the H0chi Shinbun says 18th
ovember and in a few hours the mast was car
ried away and the rudder broken, so that the junk
was at the mercy of the waves. Although they bad
food. the scarcity of water was severely felt. On
the Goth January in the present year, a tBo-masted
craft hove in sight, and the shlpwrecked crew and
passengers did all they could to attract the atten-
ton of those on board. but without success. and
The vessel soon disappeared. After the middle Of
March sickness made its appearance. and about the
middle of May all but four had died. In this hope
less situation the remaining four spent some days,
when. on the lst of June. an American sailing YES
sci (name Enthusiastically, Captain Bailey, bound
for San Francisco, lowered a boat and saved them.
| On the Sth June they arrived at San Francisco.
and the shipwrecked men we're banded over to the
Japanese Consul of that port. Thence they were
sent TO a hospital about three miles from San Fran
cisco. and remained there thirty-six days. The
Hocki Shinbun adds that when they were landed al
San Francisco the men were in a shocking state
from scurvy.

TURKEY.-The final effect Of the recent war upon
European Turkey remains TO be seen but that it
will be great appears to US beyond doubt. The
blind faith Of the followers Of the Prophet seems TO
be shaken. and they have no longer that confidence
in the power Of his inspiration and protecting care
which has characterized them for 90 many genera
tions. Everything throughout the country seems
to indicate speedy and radical changes in society,
which will be but little short Of revolutionary. so
wide, deep, and varied will be their character. In
Central Turkey, the state Of the country is most
deplorable. The Government seems p~aralyzed,
or wholly in the hands Of inscriptions rings, who
do nothing bat plumber the people. The roads,
in every direction from the large towns, are infested
with robbers, and murders are reported almost
every day. In the midst Of this chaos Of riot and
disorder q CLEAN Of light appears. A better code Of
morals than the erroneous teachings Of the Koran is
about to be presented to the acceptance or knowl-
edge Of the Turkish people, and their desperate con-
dition will impel them to look into and examine
its claims to their careful consideration. The
translation Of the Bible into the Turkish language
has been completed, and the revised manuscript
is now ready for the press. The printing, both in
the Arabic and in the Armenian character, has
reached the latter part Of Isaiah, the Kew Tesla
ment having been already printed, % that the
entire Bible, in both characters will probably be
published the present month. If Turkey is to re-
main a permanent European power, we do not
hesitate to express the opinion that she can do 80
only upon the condition Of embracing Christianity
and to this point matters seem now to be rapidly
tending. The Christian and civilized world will
watch the solution Of the problem with the most
absorbing interest.

AFFRAY.-On Thursday of last week a warrant
was issued for the arrest of two Cinnamon at
Manoa, charged with opium smoking. and IN the
evening a policeman was sent to execute the war
rant. A struggle ensued, aud one of the men made
a thrust at the policeman with q sword, ripping
open his coat and shirt, and grazing the skin. The
other came out of the house with a musket, and
while in the act of aiming it at the policeman was
knocked down by the driver of the wagon which
conveyed the officer to the house. The two men
were finally secured and brought to the station
house, together with the weapons. The musket
was loaded with a heavy charge, and capped.
They were tried on Monday, on two charges
opium-smoking, and assault with intent to kill.
One plead guilty to the first charge, and was SEN
fenced to three months imprisonment, while the
other plead not guilty. Both plead not guilty to
the charge OF assault, and one of them was admit
ted to bail in 81 900. They will be tried by jury
on the second and more serious charge. They as
sert that this charge is a conspiracy between the
policeman and driver.

MORE LIGHT WANTED.-A former Attorney Gen
eral of Hawaii nei (Mr. Phillips) once made the
remark, when the question of lighting the streets
of this city was under discussion, that " Light was
the best sort of police" We wish to give our
present-and ever p~resent-police every degree
of credit that is their due. and we here make the
pertinent observation that we must not expect
from them impossibilities. For instance, it is not
to be expected of them that they will, on dark
nights when the moon is out a-visiting, perceive
everything that is going on in Emma Square, there
being no street light in the neighborhood-albeit
there is a lamp-post, and the public funds are sup
posed TO pay for oil and a man to light the lamp.
Emma Square, on dark nights, with no light in the
lantern, and no bothersome policeman near, is a
delightsome place for the Honolulu male and
female hoodlums.

POLISHING RICE WITH GLAss.-The Gazette pre-
tends to throw doubt upon our statement that
powdered glass is used by the Chinese in the pro-
cess of polishing rice. We have it from the best of
authority that our statement was substantially cor
rect. Mr.. J. A. Hopper, whose machinery for clean
ing rice " American fashion - was burned at the
December fire of last year, might, if he chose, give
some information on this head. By the primitive
tread-mill process, glass is not used; but at the
regular mills carried on by Chinese, We are informed
that it is. Perhaps it would be worth the while of
some of our scientific men-such as the writer's for
the Ga=ette-to examine our g polished Hawaiian
rice with a microscope, or visit the rice mills and see
the process of cleaning and polishing rice.

In walking about the wharves. it is pleasant to
note the general activity in the ceasting feet.
Shipments of goods, machinery and supplies are
constantly going forward to the plantations. We
observed an invoice of 6-inch iron piping being

already large water-works of that important
plantation, which at a rough guess we should say
was nnw worth q million and a half.

NAMES OF THE SUN.-Now that in this hot
weather we are supposed to be nearer to the sun
than usual, it may be of interest to know that-the
root of the word .Aryan is formed in the Polynesian
la or "a, the sun. The meaning of the word
Aryans was, "tbe people of the SUM-" The
Egyptian Ria had the same meaning, also the
Celtic Sgriau. Even the Greek hsliOs and the
Latin sol are said by scholars to be of identical
origin, and so with our word sun. The graduation
may be thus fixed ia or "a rha arya 1; sgriGu;
