tired from the firm Of Haekfeld s Co. Of which
house he has been a prominent member for some
years past. MIR. Furs,enau arrived here in 1865 and
entered the employ Of Messrs Hackfeld & Co. shortly
afterwards becoming 4 partner. Since his arrival he
has made numerous friends and gained for himself
an enviable reputation in our commercial eommnn-
ity, as a prominent and enterprising merchant. IL
is his intention 10 remain with US until spring, when
he will return to his native land, conveying with
him the best wishes Of our people. and whilst we re-
greet his proposed departure. We feel assured that his
old friends at home viii rejoice in his return and
make glad his future years which we trust may be
many and happy.
STRONG TEsrIMoNY.-The Rev. Lorenzo lyons

years ago to be a missionary at the Sandwich Isl

arrival here, left his chosen field at Waimea, Hawaii
has a very interesting letter in the Friend Of the
present month. We regret that our limits will not
permit US to copy it entire; but the following SEN
fences will show what this veteran thinks Of the Ha-
waiian language, and ought to put to shame some Of
its small-brsined detraciors.
1t is an interminable language. | might make an
approximation TO it, end should 1 live and study 40
years longer. 1t is one Of the Oldest living languages
Of the earth, as some conjecture, and may well be
classed among the best, and is well deserving Of the
diigent study Of those who are Of a linguistic pro-
pensity. The thought TO displace it, or TO doom it to
oblivion by substituting the English language, ought
not for q moment TO be INDUCED. Long live the
grand old, sOuOrous, poetical Hawaiian language!
a REILLY TO A LETTER.-By the last mail from
the East we received a neatly-written missive from
a lady in the State Of Iowa-presumably young
and pretty, of course, but certainly not poor, for

the Islands who would like TO have flowers, ferns,
or other botanical specimens or curiosities from
Iowa, and who would send me some such things
from Hawaii. please band them my address,
Some very beautiful specimens of dried flowers
and ferns were enclosed in the letter. We would
like to know the writer. But then, Iowa has such
a dreadful climate !! And yet, in The language Of
Byron

Seriously. though, to any one who desires to com.

The KoNA FAMNE.-A correspondent. writing
from Makawao, Maui. under date of the last day
in August. says
Il am quite busy planting, and have only few
minutes to devote to the important business Of
writing letters. We are planting cane below the
cactus on the common, and are very busy. We
have plenty Of water, and Of course IL Is Of no use
to try here without water. Your paper speaks of
a famine in Kona Why don't these people come
over TO us? They can get from Is to Is dollars a
month and food, and if one or two from each
family would do this it ought TO keep the rest
from starving. Look at the miserable advance
system now prevalent, whereby a man engaging
for a year will get City dollars down, or If for two
years, one hundred dollars. Bad as that IL. it is
better than to lie there in Kona and beg and die.
Food is scarce also here, and prices are high but.
there is work to do, and wages are high-too high
for the good Of the employee as well as the en-
ployer. II the Cinnamon continue TO come, the
demand for labor will be supplied. but TO what an
eventual cost 10 the native OF the country. The
:. cockroach " will overflow and eat up the land.
But we must have labor non. BY and bye the
poor native-what there may be left OF him-will
discover that he can't get even $40 a month.
Now is the natives golden opportunity. reminding
me Of the times of 40 in California. The old
Forty-niuers there are now the poor people. The
trouble arose from the fact that they got big wages
in the flush times, and they didn't know how TO
come down, and were consequently miserable for

take up the Friend with pleasure, for it is filed with
good things. The current number contains No. 20
of +. w. Damon's "Rambles in the Old World"
Mr.. Damon was fortunate to be in Berlin at the time
the Congress was sitting. He draws graphic pen
sketches of the leading actors Of that important meet
ing-Bismarck, Beaconsfeld, Gortschakof and An
drassyNsketches that, from what we have read Of
the illustrious persons named, we feel must be true
to the life. We quote a part Of his account Of the
closing scenes of the Congress:
{" 1t would seem as if nature was pleased TO smile
propitiously on the closing scenes Of the Congress.
For many days before the 18th we had severe and
prolonged rains and much unpleasant and cloudy
weather, which does not yet seem to have fully blown
away. But the afternoon on which the Treaty was
signed was radiant with glorious sunshine, which
seemed to flow like q golden river between the stormy
cloud banks Of the preceding and succeeding days.
The long and stately Wilhelm Strasse, near the en-
trance to Prince Bismarck's Palace, was scattered
over with a crowd Of people awaiting the arrival Of
tina representatives. As each ~equipage,
