Travellers in Egypt are surprised At
the large amount Of ophthalmia and
blindness prevalent among the inhab-
itants. Want of cleanliness is the cause.
An Egyptian mother, under the infiu-
ence Of widely prevalent superstition,
does not wash her child's eyes until
eight days after birth. By that time the
organ is frequently ruined. The teach
ers in the American and British mission
schools Of Cairo say that Egyptian moth
ers become invariably angry when urged
to wash the eyes of their newly born in
fants, and can rarely be persuaded to
comply with . request Of the kind.

mere remark, that II the tax for this year should
be collected from all who liable to pay, the

Extract from G. X. Bishops address at Oahu
Colege.]
Mr.. EDrroR Through the columns of your
paper, allow one interested in the of educa-
ton on the islands to call public attention to tho
statement in the above extract from Mr.. Bishops
address. It is a most singular and note worthy
fact, that the Chinese element in island popu-
latlon IL contributing more than all other nation
alities to support our public schools. Now, what
is the Board of Education doing in return for the
special benefit of Chinese youth 1t is aiding
MIR. Dunscombe, Miss Payson, and perhaps some
others to small amount, but the sum total of the
Expenditures would not amount to 81 600, and yet
the Chinese are paying many thousands into 10
school funds.
The question suggests itself, has not the time
come to take q step i'll advance OF what has been
hitherto done 2 To be sure the children and Chi
nese children may attended the public schools,
but should not something be done for young
Chinaman, the same rs is done for Hawaiian
youth at Hilo and Lahainaluna; and the rumor In
current that boys school Is TO be established mt
haneohe Are there not many Chinese youth,
VINO might be educated in the higher departments,
II suitable means were employed Has not
the time come when high school for Chinese
youth should be established in Honolulu? This
IS a subject demanding most serious considera-
ton. Whatever may be said about other nation
their homc the Chinese have come paying their
own passage hither and supporting themselves
after their arrival. They are busily at work, de-
veloping the resources of the islands, and contri-
butlng their full share for educational purposes,
ana doing even more; they are contributing thou
sands Tor the educations of Hawaiians and for
eigners. II you will allow me Mr.. Editor, in an
other number OF your paper, may enquire what
the Hawaiian Board is doing for the Chinese.

The Gospel Meetings.
By Mn. NJ. u. HAnnEsBroK AND Orurns.

On the 4th inst. Mr.. Hallenbcck addressed tho
scholars and teachers of the Fort street church
sabbath School, and at tho Lyceum, in connection
with Rev. W.. j. Smith from the Tabernacle
church, San Francisco; service was held ut .
O'CLOCK, which was very largely attended and
proved a season of rich testimony for the Master
and JOY to the hearts of many believers. In the
evening the Fort street church filed to its
utmost capacity TO hear Mr.. Hallonbeck's farewell
ADDRESS but IN view OF the arrival OF Rows. Mr.
oruzan and smith, Mr. Hallenbeck deferred his
parting remarks FOR Monday evening. Mr. Cruzan
took part in the service in very impressive,
pleading prayer. Rev. Mr.. Smith took his text
from Psalm "a, One thing have desired from
the Lord, /" which he divided into three heads and
was expoundng with great eloquence when, from
the fall OF the end OF seat in the gallery. panic
occurred which interrupted the services for
time, but fprtunatey no injury resulted TO anyone
Quiet was restored by the choir singing some of
the familiar Gospel Hymns, when Mr.. Smith re-
sumod his discourse which he made all the moro
just occurred. Mr.. Hallenbeck closed with n few
appropriate remarks and adjourned to the vestry
room below where testimony and enquiry meet
Holy Spirits presence.
On Monday evening a Song and Praise service
was held similar to that Of Tuesday evening pre-
livered his farewell address, which was deeply i'm
pressive and eloquent throughout and drew out
the sympathy of the entire audience in his earnest
solicitude for souls: He thanked all for the n-
terest and support they had given his labors the
Christian workers, the Ministers, the aged Mis-
sonaries fathers and mothers in Israel the noble
band OF praying women; tho choir that had rem
dered such signal assistance night after night
and to the press OF this city for their help in tho
work. The services throughout were enriched by
solos by Mrs. Cruzan and Mrs. Hanford with
frequent songs by the choir and congregation. An
inquiry meeting followed in the lower room and
continued interest was manifested till late hour.
On Tuesday evening the Gospel services were
continued by the Rev. j. A. Cruzan who H.
Illustrated the narrative of the Prodigal Son in a
new light and in a forcible, impressive manner.
notwithstanding the contra attractions elsewhere,
the departure of a number of the earnest workers
and the long strain for this climate on the people,
the church was well filed and ut the close short
enquiry meeting was held below. Wednesday
evening the usual PRAYER meetings were held by
the Fort street and Bethel churches, separately
Mt both of which the members gathered with
fresh interest and warm hearts, welcoming the
new converts. At their close they partook OF
quite social nature and removed much of tho
cold restraint that has heretofore been felt.
Last evening, FRIDAY Union Gospel meeting
was again held in the Fort street church, Rev. S.
O. Damon conducting, which was well attended
and continued interest manifested

We could see smoke arising from tho new crater
on Mauna Loa, but mono was perceptible at tho
vent, six miles below, from which the recent lava
flows were discharged. Mr.. Lentz told us that tho
activity of Kilauea increased that of the new
crater decreased. We were thus very fortunate in
arriving at the timo we did, and felt compensated
for not having seen the Hilo flow in all ita glory.
