French Ideals.


Rev. Mr.. Dalton's third lecture Saturday
treated of "French Ideals"
The speaker commenced by quoting Ros-
seau's theory that the corruptions of society
spring from civilization, and that man in a
STAGE of nature is pure and simple. This theo-
nv the speaker denied. He claimed that man
kind are improved by civilization and that
each race has ideals that influence its destiny
The French ideal has been passion for MIL
itary career and military glory He then
showed that this IDEAL INDUCED in for thou
sand years, gained her nothing; her population
was diminished, her wealth squandered in
wars, her libertiessurrendered to tyrants, and
her people kept in ignorance. Even her glory
was but transient, and her victories were
avenged by Cressy, Poitiers, Agincourt and
later Waterloo and Sedan. The second ideal
was splendid court at Paris under an arbitra-
nv king. Such a court squandered SO much
money, the people became oppressed, middle
class was impossible, and finally revolution
resulted 1t was the inevitable outcome. Out
of it has issued new France, republic based
on universal suffrage, the education of all, the
promotion of the arts and sciences: industrial
pursuits preferred to the phantoms of war;
freedom of religion, an open career guaranteed
to all; society reconstructed on hrm BASIS
France is the ill-starred Tuns expedition, the
origin, aims and probable issues of which the
lecture proceeded to give, showing that this
abortive expedition is utterly at variance with
the general drift of the Republic and exposes
it to the Vaccinations OF mon archiStS at home
and to the danger of war with Spain, Italy
and England, on account of Morocco, Tunis
and Egypt respectively, each of these coun-
tries having vested interests in these provinces
in the order named, aud which were detailed
| in the lecture; also their relation to Turkey.
The speaker concluded with comparison
between the ideals of France and England.
For ages Fra nee was militant, England indus
| trial and commercial England opened Der
| doors to the refugees who were driven from
| France by Louis XIV. and who laid the foun.
! dations of her manufacturing supremacy. The
French are gay, polished, keen, intellectual
| quick-witted, sociable. The English reserved
| unsociable, but faithful to his promises. In
| France the women have a greater influence
| than the men in the councils of the nation
But Engishwomen make home, a thing moi
| known in France.
The next lecture will treat of "Germar

Brilliant Meteor.

A remarkably brilliant meteor was seen in
the sky about one O'Clock this morning. 1t
appeared like gigantic rocket exploding with
a sudden flash and then travelling across the
sky from east to west, with long luminous
trail. So bright was the light that minute OBJ
iects could be seen upon the sidewalk with al
most as much distinctness as at midday. TIE
explosion was unaccompanied by any report.

The Rainfall at Hilo. Hawaii.

HIIo, April 9Th, 1881.
EDrToR GAZETTE: Incosed you will please find
an abstract of my rain record. kept at Hilo from
the 1st of April, 1880 to the 3lst of March, 1881
With it | send you a condensed report from one
rendered by Rev. Titus Coan covering the period
from August 1st, 1916, to July 3lst, 1917 You will
see that while that was probably the raniest year
ever known at Hilo, the year ending March 3lst,
1881, well nigh equal to it.
The largest amount of rain which fell here last
year during any one day of twenty-four hours was
ll$[ inches, viz. on the 9th of March. need not
assure you that it was a dismal day for all of u.s.
In sixty hours on the 14th, 18th and 18th days of
March there fell 2O5l inches of rain. You will
notice that more than Il of the amount for the
year fell last month. which certainly carried off
the palm, not only for this, but perhaps for all
past years.
At Papaikou, five miles distant. Mr. D. H.
Hitchcock registered 1876 63-i00 inches of rainfall
almost two feet less than at Hilo village during
the same interval of time. The past year has been
n cold as well as a wet year. YOu will not wonder
that our crops are unfavorably affected by it. The
sixty days of pleasant. weather. from
November 18TH 1850, to February 10th, 1881. are
telling auspciousy upon our sugar cane fields.
and will, DIV. materially benefit the Weld of 1882
Your paper has often within the past twelve
months alluded to the condition of the roads in
the district of Hilo You and your readers will not
be surprised that they have been very muddy and
at times almost impossible from more than one
cause.
| hope that during the current year God will
bless US with the needfu amount of both sunshine
all manner of store, and that these gamers
may be preserved from the elemental fires
which, for long time have been threatening to
come down destructively upon us. G.. II. w.
