THE presence of a pecial Embassy from
the Imperial Court of Japan at the Court
of the King of Hawaii Will be regarded as
a very interesting and notable event. Not
many years ago, within the memory of
many now living, Japan was a sealed ma
ton she would not hold intercourse with
any foreign country except Holland, and the
relations with that power were carried on
in a way that was most eXactIng and
humiliating to the european State. But
the American Commodore Perry opened
the reluctant gates of his jealous Empire
more by the presence of his guns than by
the persuasion of his diplomacy. However,
Notwithstanding the coercive Introduction
of this Eastern Empire to Western ciylliza-
ton, she has cheerfully and intelligently
accepted the situation, and determined TO
take rank among the nations of the earth
as much by her enlightened progress as
through her mere population and area of
territory. This noble Asiatic state is keep
ing step with the march of science and adj
vanced knowledge, and is determined not
merely to be Tolerated by enlightened
powers, but to take her place among them
as an active and Jealous member of the
family of enlightened nations. Her diplo-
matte Embassies and students of science
are going to all quarters of the globe. Her
progressive sons are studying not only tire
arts and sciences and governmental policies
nf Europe, but they are taking lessons from
the progressive and expansive institutions
o. Americe. And in their scheme of ma
tional educational policy, which embraces
the leading capitals and States of the world,
their Emperor and Government have
thought proper to honor our Sovereign and
State with Il special attention. The
ancient exclusive Empire of numerous
millions of souls reciprocates diplomatic
courtesies with the little Pacific State of a
few thousands. In this we see an %illustra-
ton of the high intelligence and noble
courtesy that animates the 9 Britain of the
Eastern Hemisphere" Our King and
Government have every reason to offer a
most cordial welcome, and especial hospi-
talities to the representatives OF Japan now
OH their way to this capital.

compact may have proved onerous." The
only way in which the Treaty can have
prov ed generous" to the United States has
been in the way of the revenue lost on i'm
DoIts from these Islands-on sugar mainly.
Ii this be really what is meant, "modifica-
tions can mean neither more nor less
than a reduction of the pecuniary advan-
tages derived by Island planters from the
right TO carry their produce into the United
thing we have got to combat. Half a loaf
is better han no bread, but if our great
neighbor wishes TO continue treating us
exceptionally, it will probably be as easy to
persuade those who have our fate in their
hands to do things thoroughly whilst they
are about it as to do them by halves. And we
sincerely hope that it will prove so, because
the movement towards n reduction of i'm
port duties on many articles, amongst
which sugar is always conspicuously men,
toned, is growing quite strong in the
United States. The President explicitly
declares bis favor towards it, dwelling at
greater length on the subject and its sur
roundings than on any other matter touch
ed on in his address. Even If our Treaty
were a thing fixed and Interchangeable as
the laws of the Modes and Persians, this
movement must, if successful, deprive it of
much of its value to US. Our interests are
therefore menaced on both sides. 1t is quite
evident that if there are to be notifications
in the terms of the Treaty as condition of
its renewal such notifications may be re-
garded by other treaty powers as substanti-
ally a new treaty, which might awaken
serious diplomatic complications. No
doubt our Representatives at washington,
ana American Statesmen having the mat
ter under consideration will appreciate this

Polynesians near him with a tomahawk. A gem
eral emeute appeared imminent, and, as a num-
Der of boys were getting out their arms to de-
fend themselves against the furious attacks of
the mailman, the government agent drew his
revolver and shot the latter dead. The island of
Tanna, in the New Hebrides group was worked
on the 4th August. A number Of returns were
landed and twenty-three recruits obtained. On
the 18th the vessel anchored in Havannah har-
Dor to procure wood and water. She left again

boats pushed off from the beach, shots were
heard and it transpired that the boys just landed

canoe full Of natives came off TO the schooner
and offered for sale a roasted leg and arm, which
they said belonged to two Of the boys landed
that morning. They urged that it was very
good kIkI.' The canoe was ordered away and
none of the occupants were allowed to board the
vessel. The Roderick Dhu proceeded to Aoba,
and while the boats were pulling along shore in
search Of recruits a shower of arrows came from
a thicket on the beach, but fell a few yards
short Of the boats. The attack was not responded
to by the boats, which then returned TO the
schooner. Subsequently, while the vessel was
at Malicolo, inside the NE. islands, the boats

Christmas
BY JULIA n DUN.

Ring out, from all your brazen throats
Christmas bells, your gladdest tones
Ring through the world your sweet refrain
OF peace on earth, coed Will to men,
Let the winds bear from sea to sea,
Your creed Of love and liberty
Down through the dim and countless years,
Sweeter than song of bard's or seer's.
Echoes that song from Bethlehem's plain,
Peace to earth, good will to men"
Fling the sweet messages of peace
To far of lands beyond the seas
Till all the echoes ring again
With L. peace on earth, good Will TO men,"
Teach us not only Christian speech,
Teach us to practice what we preach
While Egypt sits with fettered hands,
Beside her deserts drifting sands,
Patient and dumb amid her pain,
While Christian England binds her chain;
While Christian Russia's throne remains
Red with the blood from Christian veins
While Christian Irish vainly plead,
With Christian England's power and greed.
What wonder, that our creed appears,
A theme for hooking SCOTS and sneers?
Ring loud, ring loud your stirring strain,
Peace, peace on earth, good will to men ="
Ring, till our worn out formal creeds
Blossom anew with kindly deeds.
Till every shore from sea to sea.
Is bright with love and liberty
Till all the stars shall sing again,
AS once they sang DER Bethelem's plain,
Now peace on earth, good will to men,
Glory to God Amen, amenI"

Some of the Benefits Accruing from the
Reciprocity Treaty.

The following well-considered, ably-wrltten
and suggestive article appeared in the ArgOnaut
of December 2nd. The ArgOnaut says
The visitor to the Sandwich Islands, upon his
arrival at Honolulu, is at once impressed with the
evidences of a happy. prosperous community,
which abound in all directions. There is goodly
array of shipping moored at the various wharves,
and what especially g%laddens the visitors heart,
if he halls from the United States, is the fact that
most OF these vessels are American built, and
that many of them sail under the American Gag.
Being the distributing point to the different isl
ands, the of the place is considerable,
a large feet of steamers and schooners being en-
gagged in the inter-island trade. Along the wa
ter front all is hustle and activity. while the bus
lneas portion OF the city, with its myriad of tele-
phone wires. puts one in mind of a smart 60
ahead American city, instead of a lazy, tropical
town, such as Honolulu is supposed to be. I'm
provements are the order OF the day. Beautiful
homes are being constructed to meet the wants of
a population increasing in wealth and number
Nor is this prosperity confined to Honolulu, as

One of h notifications suggested is the
re-imposition of duty On rice. However,
the f%ourishing condition of what were once
so many waste and noxiOus places IN the
Islands promoted by the cultivation OF nee
will make this a question OF very earnest
consideration on the part of those who are
careful of Hawaiian interests. However,
we feel well assured that the consideration
of the treaty by the United States Govern
ment in their discussion of the measure
with Hawaiian Representatives will be IN
fiuenced by a desire to promote the pros
perity of these islands in every way con-
sistent with the maintenance of a leglti-
mate American influence.

MR.. ATKINSON made a statement in his
paper of 18th inst. that the friendly relations
between Mons. Fser and the Foreign Office
were broken off. He was, we are told, per-
the statement was wholly untrue. We are
authoritatively assured, as we have already
said, that the statement is wholly untrue.
Now, we expected that Atkinson would
nave had the decency to correct in a subse-
quent issue of his paper, a previously pub
lished and confirmed untruth. But with a
mean obstinacy he sticks to what he is as
sured to be a falsehood.

4 STRONG interest will be felt here, for
some time, in regard to the probable dis
cussiOn of our treaty in Congress. Presi-
dent Arthur in his annual Message recon-
mends a favorable consideration of the
Treaty With notifications. The modifca-
lions may be understood to mean cOnces-
sions. Now with regard to this matter,
there is, as usual, a division of opinion.
The Free-traders aud the ProtectiOnists are
both demanding a hearing in this matter.
The success of a political party generally adj
mitted to be devoted to free-trade, favors
the view of those who propose unrestricted
free-trade between the United States and
our Islands. However, judging from
many indications in American party
Journals, it is manifest that there will be
revived the old controversy between free
trade and protection in the Democratic
ranks, and it is considered doubtful
"whether the Democratic party will be
able to MAINTAIN its substantial unity upon
the question of free-trade or whether it is
to be broken up by the separation of those
Who insist upon a radical free-trade policy
from those who maintain a more conserva-
tive and popular course"
We certainly cannot consent to free-trade
in the importation of spirituous liquors.
