their interest or information to the favor Of
American readers"
1t is also the intention of Mr.. Lewis to make
Honolulu the headquarters of his great Mexican
Pacific Railroad project, with its corresponding
lines of steamers between Europe and Asia.
The great advantages of our geographical posi-
ton in the mid North Pacific seem now begin
ming to receive the attention they merit. The
Pacific Mail Co.'S steamers touch both ways, TO
the delight of passengers to and from England
and Australia, and the Peruvian and China line,
just established, also make Honolulu a port of
call. Whenever a Pacific cable is laid land the
time is not far distant, for the needs Of commerce
will soon be ripe to demand it) here is the point
at which it will throw out one line to Asia, and
the other to Australia. Thus, although we are
isolated, yet we shall be in close and speedy com
munication with the great centers Of intellectual
and commercial activity that surround us on
every side. With our unrivaled climate, the
freedom and security we all enjoy under an en-
lightened system and administration of law, the
advent Of n few men of liberal minds and fortunes,
will add a charm and attraction to our Island
society that will be sure to draw hither many
cultivated and wealthy families, who will choose
our little paradise for their permanent homes.
These reflections arc aside from but closely follow
the considerations of material prosperity which
the tide of the worlds progress is bringing into
the Pacific Ocean. Westward the star Of EN-
pire takes its way"
We cannot close our notice Of Mr.. Lewis and
his great railway and steam project without some
reference to Mrs. Lewis, whose death is alluded
to above. She died at Rochester, n. Y, on the
Goth of last May. She commenced her literary
career at the early age of twelve years, her first
effort appearing in the Massachusetts Sabbath
school Journal. After her marriage TO Mr.. Lewis,
she and her husband commenced writing for the
New York Ledger, and her name is familiar to
all readers OF that popular paper. Her stories
have been republished in many of the English
weeklies, and for the last ten years the London
Journal, a weekly with a circulation Of 400 900
copies, has not issued n single number without
her name appearing at the head of some column.
A large number Of her best works have been
translated into various languages, and have met
with as much success as in the original. Mrs.
Lewis memory is cherished by all to whom she
was known for her kindness Of heart and unos-
tentatious charity. and they will keep that
memory green.
Mr.. Lewis library contains Is 900 volumes,
and Is as fine a private library as the State Of
New York affords.

l. The bulk of the worlds commerce is carried
on between Europe and Asia, and between these
two and America.
2. This commerce is carried on chiefly by sailing
ships, because sails are cheaper than steam.
3. The creation of the Suez Canal has not had
any influence upon the route of sailing ships, they
still continue to pass aruond Cape Horn and the
Cape Of Good Hope.
4. The creation of a canal across Nicaragua Tor
any other part Of Central America) would not have
a great effect upon the routes Of sailing ships; they
could do better by continuing to follow the same
routes as at present.
3. The reason why sailing ships avoid the Suez
Canal, is, extreme difficulty OF navigating to or from
them that is caused by head winds, opposing cur
rents, Gains and other great obstacles.
6. The average time of a sailing ship in traver-
sing the Red Sea alone, in either direction, is forty
