DEATH OF oRsox PRATr.

Orson Pratt, the abiest man ever con-
nected with Morrnonism, died at Salt
Lake City on Monday of this week.
He was a native Of Hartford, Washing
ton county, New York, and was born
September 10, 1871. He was thoroughly
up in the peculiar theology Of the re-
ligion of the Latter Day Saints, and his
discussion, few years since, with the
celebrated DR.. Newman, the Methodist
divine Of Washington City, showed
him to b ready debater, man we'll
versed in biblical matters, and thor
oughly cultured man. He was honest
in his dealings with the church and
with the outside world, and he died
poor. His connection with Nor
monism dated back to his twentieth
year. At one time he was cut off from
the church in Nauvoo, ILL.,, because Of
his refusal to 60 the full length of
Normonism. The Salt Lake Tribune
says of Pratt: 49,
He did not own foot OF land in the
Territory, and he has been knowa to
make q practice of walking from his
residence in the Nineteenth ward up to
the city, because he had no street car
tickets nor money to buy them. He
has even confessed that if he had &C.
casien to use . postage stamp, he would |
have to borrow the money to buy it. |
He was not in favor with the Brigham |
dynasty, which, however, availed itself |
freely Of his talents without recon-
pense. His life may be said to have |
been that of q man of ability, whose
mind became perverted in youth before
it gained its full strength, and whose
weakness was taken advantage of by
designing schemers to help them in
huge speculation in the benefits of
which they never permitted him to
share.

New YORK, Oct. ga Herald WASH
fngton special says: Guiteau, whose
cell overlooks the eastern branch of tn e
Potomac, is now being treated for ma
laria, and quinine is given in large
doses. The wretch reluctantly takes
the powders, fearing that some subtle
poison may be incorporated with the
medicine and his life taken by hidden
drug. He is too anxious to live, 50 the
guards say, TO attempt his own life !;
neither does he want to die by the act
of q physician any more than by the
act of hangman. He has nervously
put aside several of the powders pre-
scribed and said he would take them if
he felt like it. The Jail guards say he
is the most consummate coward that
ever lived. He fears his own shadow,
and when taken to the bath room,
short distance from his cell, insists on
the guard covering him, so that if
there is among the soldiers on duty in
the rotunda another Sergeant Mason,
he will have to send his bullet through
his escort to reach him. He is still
strangely confident that his brother-in-
laws defense will acquit him. Scoville
is expected tomorrow. His line of
defense will be mainly in Offering evil
dence to show that he comes from a
family in which hereditary insanity has
been conspicuous for many years. Who
will be associated with Scoville is not
known; but it is feared that some in
terested lawyers will be accepted, who
will present all kinds of questions for
the consideration of the Court, and in
this way embarrass the prosecution,
compelling consideration Of the law of
jurisdiction and of the right to practice
on the part Of the Presidents surgeons.
and several other important points, con-
suming time and putting the Govern
ment to great expense in summoning
witnesses from abroad.

HILo, april l4th. 1881.
EDITOR GAZETTE 1t may be interesting to you
and your patrons to hear that the lava flow has
now reached a point, (or might say three or
four points, Just SIX and half miles distant from
Hilo. by actual measurement.

were Messrs. f. ). Lyman and o. L. Shipman, 1

mostly sodifed; We ssw molten lava IN five diff

We had opportunity for collecting fresh specimens
which We moulded TO our taste. In one spot we
saw the ''igneOus fusion flowing about six feet
IN width and running thrice tuat distance before
it had cooled much on the surface. In some
places We could see down into red-hot crevices.
We found heat enough TO cook kalo and sweet po-
tatoes very nicely for our lunch. At the lowest
northeastern point the new lava bed joins on the
old one of 1856. We walked up on the new one
about three-fourths Of mile to an elevation which
overlOoks the main portion of the new branches,
all Of which showed moderate indications of life.

A 1FssoS, and a very wholesome one, may be
learned BY all Christian bodies from the history of
Christianity in Japan. We gather our information
from Commodore Perry's work. The first Euro
poans that ever landed in Japan were Fernan
Mendez Pinto, Diego Zeimoto, and Christoval
Borallo. all Portuguese. who were driven to the
islands by stress of weather. between the years
1913 and l5i5. This casual visit led TO the estab
lishment of a regular trade between the islands
and Macao and Goa. Within seven years Of the
discovery Of the islands the Portuguese were in a
position to send missionaries, and among these
was Francis Xavier who has won for himself such
immortal renown. AZ that time there was no sys-
TEN Of exclusion and there was no objection made
20 the free preaching Of Christianity to the people
Xavier. in speaking of them, says they were the
delight of his heart. After Xavier's departure and
subsequent death at Shan-Shan in China other
missionaries belonging to the Augustinian, Do
minican and Franciscan orders focked in, and
quarrelings and chickering's ensued among the
rival fraiernities. Efforts were made 10 prevent
these quarrels. but they of no avail, and one
Of the immediate results was to cause the expul-
sion of Christianity from Japan. Another cause
was that letters were captured in n Portuguese
ship and returned to the japanese Government by
the Dutch, in which were the details of plot al.
ranged between the japanese Christians and the
Portuguese for the overthrow of the Imperial Gov
ernment. Laws were Immediately passed forbid
ding intercourse with other nations on pain of
death; that even the introduction of letters from
abroad would incur the death penalty; that any
one protesting Christianity should suffer the same;
with many other severe edicts. The unfortunate
Christians of Japan suffered terribly. 1t was ac-
cording 10 a curious old writer Mendelslo, who
visited the East in 1854 and copy of whose book
we fortunate enough to possess, found that the
death penalty was not sufficient deterrent, and
the authorities racked their brains TO invent
crueltes which should put a stop to the obnoxious
doctrines. Never. in the whole range of our read
ing, have We come across such an account of
fendish cruelty was perpetra:ed upon these un-
fOrtunates. The accounts given by Suetouius of
the cruelties of the early Emperors of Rome, the
suferings of the Christian martyrs, fairly pale be
side them. And all this was brought on by the
i'll conduct of an intriguing and ambitious clergy.
Had the successors of Xavier followed in his foot
steps, shown his self-sacrice and noble devotion,
the japanese nation, instead Of remaining virtual
ly closed to the world till 1856. might have en-
braced the doctrines of Christianity century and
a half before; have taken its place among the
civilized peoples of the earth, and the history Of
the Pacific Ocean m ght have been altered, or at
least antlcipated.

At SOME time in the past there has been great
luiscalculation as to the cost of the new Palace
building, and we imagine that few people know
what has been expended on that building OF specu-
late upon what Will be the cost before II is CON-
pie5ed. When the Legislature Of 1880 met, the
original appropriation of S5O.0OO had been spent
and further grant was asked for. The then Cab
met were requested to state what was the full
sum that would be needed for the completion of
the building and $4,000 was named, the sum of
$4,000 was added for furniture. During the present
fiscal period $4,000 have already been expended ;
more than the grant for furniture and building
combined. This large expenditure has been in
part caused by the necessity of strengthening the
building. At the end of last year ii was found
that unless something were done II was hardly pos
sble for it stand until the meeting of the next
legislature. Beams which were calculated TO bear

ing twenty-seven tons of solid masonry; the
slightest continued vibration would infallibly
have brought everything down with crash. Be

THE necessity of having larger female popula-
ton is forcing itself more and more upon public
attention, and We quite agree with the editor of
the Adre'tise that the subject should be discussed
with becoming "eanestness and fairness But
the 4drsJtiser has in its last issue made state
ment against whole class of the community
which is manifestly unjust. We are told that the
speculative spirit says "that these Islands are
only fitted for sugar, and that necessarily gangs Of
cheap masculine labor alone will be required to
bring this Kingdom to its highest pitch of pros
perity. We do not think that the speculative
spirit desires any such thing. We believe that
many capitalists would prefer TO have small hold
ings around their mills, upon which petty farmers
could cultivate cane to be ground at the mill
owned by the capitalists We think that that Will
be the ultimate form which, in many cases, sugar
cultivation will take in this country, as soon as it
fills up with suitable population. We know of
one gentleman, very largely engaged in the sugar
enterprise of this country, who has looked forward
to and desired such state Of things TO come
about Again the speculative spirit, which has
urged another gentleman TO undertake to build a
railway in Hawaii, Is certainly going TO give Just
that opportunity for small enterprise which our
contemporary must desire. The railway opens up
lands where garden vegetables, hay, corn and such
articles can be raised. which will need popu-
lation of small farmers TO cultivate Here Ger
tainly the speculative spirit is working for the
good of the nation. The insinuations which have
appeared from time to tiilc that the planters and
mercantile men of the community care nothing
for the nation, are also very unjust. Among their
ranks to be found men who think and work
for the good OF the people. Situated as many Of
them are with heavy debt, which has to be
worked of, they are at present not in condition
to do as much as they wish; but let few years
pass, and then we shall see that many of them will
spend their money willingly in improving the con-
dition of the laborers their plantations. We
know gentleman who is just in this position. He
is at heart philanthropist He is engaged IN a
sugar enterprise in which he has sunk all that be
has and perhaps good deal more. he wishes TO
improve his laborers' houses, but he has not the
means. He may wish and think it right that every
