LYCEUM Sabbath mornings, free of expense, to the
Christian Chinese for Divine Service for a term of twelve
months; also having interested himself in their spiritual
welfare, by promising some pecuniary aid and soliciting
for them funds from planters and others; he regrets to
have heard an intimation that he mad the Lyceum to sell.
Such suspicious are in keeping with modern Christianity.
To prevent any further attempt or otherwise to cripple
the Chinese Church Building effort. I beg positively to
state. it has not been my intention to sell it, nor is the
Lyceum for sale at any price during my lifetime.

passed the government test. That oil came from the es-

= A GOOD PRoPosITIoN-We learn that a call will short
ly be issued for Il preliminary meeting, looking TO the
organization of a Society of Pioneers in this city, some
what after the style of the California Society of that
name. 1t is proposed, as We learn, that all foreign resi-
dents of the Islands who arrived here previous TO Jan.
LIST, IS4T, shall be eligible to membership. We think
that the idea is an excellent one, as the existence of such
q society would tend to collect and preserve historical
facts connected with the Islands, besides many minute
details of personal interest which might otherwise be
lost. 1t has been suggested that the Society should be
organized before the next national holiday-the nth of
June, Kamehameha Dsy-in order to take part in the
celebration as q recognized body.

The Statutes Of 1873.

At the request of Secretary Gosper, the statutes of 1879 as printed, have been carefully examined, the writer hereof performing the somewhat tedious task of reading every word of the original laws as they appear on file in the office of the Secretary. With the exception of few typo graphical errors, which in no wise change the sense of the language, the only mistakes discovered, arc two in the school law, which the s cretary has taken prompt measures to cor rect.
 "It is human to err" and should a perfect book be printed, it would at once stamp it as of celestial or other origin superior to man. The Bible, 1t is said, contains number of errors. Even the members of the Arizona Legislature committed a number of errors last winter, and surely they were as near infalllbility as it is pos sible for humanity to approach that exhalted condition. One of thelr laws, after having passed the ordeal of committees, tried in the fire, as it were, makes one of the corners of Apache county reach to no degrees 45 minutes north latitude, q long ways beyond the north pole. An other mixes Prescott into the Phenix and Maricopa wagon road, etc., etc Yet these laws are on file, engrossed, enrolled and certified to by the pre- siding officers of the Legislature, as absolutely correct.-Aia.r, NoadGy jag. 9.
