The Anglican Church Chronicle.

The April number of the 4Hglicdn Church
Chronicle is before the public. and, like the
four previous numbers, ii Is full of interest
ing church matter. = Easter Thoughts - is
the title OF the first editorial article, and
contains much that is instructive concern
ing the resurrection of the body. The sub
ject of "Wha shall be done for the
Amusement of our Young Men ?n is a
criticism on what was recently said on this
all-impOrtant topic by the Rev. A. ..
Forbes ut a meeting of the Young Mems
Christian Association. The writer hardly
thinks il compatible with the temperament
OF the young men of Honolulu to follow the
suggestions of the reverend gentleman
named. The course that he lays down in
order to gain a thorough knowledge of the
young man is to "Visit the young men at
tleir own hOmes.'' The difficult class to
get at are the young half-castes and Ha-
waiiaus who can speak English, bat who
are not numbered with the elite He goes
on to say, "it will require great tact and per-
suasion to draw them together-stiil 1t
ought to be attempted This article CON
cludes with an ~allusiOn to the recent " sea-
son of gaiety" in connection with the
Leuten season /; and it is considered a mis-
fortune that as :" Admirals must be some
where in Lent. they seem to think Homo
lulu is the best place to appear in that
season.
"The Church in Hawaii nei" forms the
heading to II detail ed and interesting
account of the services in the Cathedral
uuftlS f1Oly week, anu ALSO d Tx ASSOiH
of what was done in this connection at
Lahaina, Waialua, South Kona, Hawaii,
and Kohala. 1t is intimated that invita-
tions for tenders for contracts on the work
of the new Cathedral have been issued +;
that Mr.. thomas Brown has resigned the
treasurership of the Church, which position
he had held from the foundation of the
mission and that the esteemed choir
master and churchw rden, Mr., L. Rain
Walker had departed on a visit to his native
land.
The Churches in Great Britain, America,
and the Colonies receive full notices. The
Expositor's Column and Educational Notes
are full of interesting reading. y very
amusing extract from "Echoes of eWeek,'
and written i'll Mr. George Augustus Sala's
best style, ought to be read by all who pro-
TESS to speak the English language cor
rectly. Alas 4! how few there are who can
accomplish this matter.
The "Social Welcome to he Bishop" is
the last article presented. The Reverend
gentlemen who edit this Monthly are to be
congratulated on the success of their under
taking.

THE first thought that suggests itself to
anyone viewing Honolulu for the first time
from the sea, Is that the city Is smothered
in foliage. There are but comparatively
few house ops to be seen above the trees,
and when one walks through the streets,
especially in that portion where people
have their dwellings, almost every yard Is
found to be flied up with shrubs and vines
We admire the profusion and variety OF
foliage and shrubs, but at the same time
we cannot help being conscious of the fact
that there Is a great deal too much OF II Tor
health. Not only too much for the health
OF those who dwell in these closely en-
powered houses, but for many of the plants
themselves. We see trunks olackened by
the fungus born of too much dampness, and
the foliage withered and blasted by being
Crowded close together.
we see those plants that love a humid
dank a mosphere fiourishing at the expense
OF their near neighbOrs that love the sun
shine. We call to mind now a yard where,
within a space of about a thousand square
Ieet, there Is a close Seml-clrcle OF Royal
palms, a row of large Monkey pods, two or
three Norfolk Island pines, specimens of
the sugar, date, fan, and native palms, an
aroor or two covered with the Mexican
creepers, and a rampant BOngainvilia, be-
sides many other vines, trees and shrubs.
There is sufficient material within the area
spoken OF to properly adorn ten acres at the
least The royal palms themselves demand
Il large space in which to stand. They are
only adapted to the sides Of a brOad avenue
leading, rot to n flimsy cottag e, but to some
ediiice like the Palace or the Government
building.
The idea has been advanced that if every
body would set out a few of these trees in
their front yard, that in Il short time the
streets of Honolulu woul be strikingiy
beautiful. We do not think so. If we had
a symmetrical line of these stately trees On
each side of SOMEONE broad, straight
avenue bordering the roadway outside of
the promenade, they would look in place (;
but to have them placed in a small yard,
and in front of the frail little cottages that
form by far the largest portion of the dwell
ings here, is like supporting the slight
verandah roofs of these little houses with
Doric pillars.
The city needs lightness. We have over
loaded the garden space with all sorts of
trees and vines, and what we need to do
now Is to remove Il large number of such of
them as will bear transplanting to the new
lots i'll the suburbs, or the other islands
maybe, and cut up one half the balance for
firewCod
OF course no one likes to cut down trees
that they have planted but most of our
lives are spent in doing what We do not
like to do, or in undOing most that we have
done, especially in the matter of sanitation.

THE omission of grapes from the list of
articles for which prizes are offered at the
forthcoming exhibit of the Royal Hawaiian
Agricultural Society, next june, leads us
TO regret that more attention has not been
paid in the past to the extended cultivation
of this most delicious fruit. There is every
reason TO believe that the growing of grapes
for manufacture into wine would be Il great
success here. Comparing the climate and
soil with that of the most favored localities
in the old world, we find that Hawaii nci
possesses all that can be desired for the
growth of the vine. In her thousand val
leyS, and on the innumerable sunny slopes
not available for the cultivation of our
great Productive sugarcane-therc j.
plenty of room for the vine. The rich vol
canic soil, and the loose half-decOmposcd
an flows, are Just the spots where vineyards
would thrive the best. We know that there
are many lines scattered throughout the
group, and the yield from these few has
always been satisfactory when any care
has been taken to train the plants. All the
same, nothing shows the effect Of careful
cultivation and vigorous pruning as the
grape. The ground should be thoroughly
repaired in the first place. If, a. i likely,
"A side hill i selected as the site of the
future vineyard, the ground i best pre-
pared by building a low wall near the
foot Of the slope, and parallel with il. The
surface soil should then be scraped down
30 a to form a narrow terrace-say ! feet
wide-and another wall built and filed in
in the same manner. Working up the hill
in this manner the brow is finally reached,
and ut that point n deep trench should be
dug to carry off surplus rains. Every fifth
or sixth terrace Mould be made wider than
the others, and Il ditch dug on the bank
side for drainage also.
Ii is to he presumed that a slope having
Il southern and western aspect has been
selected, and in Il region where at least q
moderate amount of rain falls during the
year; for, though the vines will stand an
astonishing amount of dry weather after
they are firmly rooted, provided the ground
Is thoroughly stirred over its whole surface,
vet they must have a little rain now II
then. In setting out the young plants it will
be found best to give them plenty of room.
If they are to be tied to stakes, they should
be set eight feet apart if "A trellis Is TO be
used, the rows may be ten feet apart, and
the vines six feet in the rows. TIL vines
grown according to the "stake system do
the best probably, from the simple fact
that they are more apt to be kept within
bounds, and the danger of Overcropping Is
not 50 great.
We might 20 into further particulars,
but for the present ut least we will merely
Indicate as to how Il vineyard may be
started, and point out a manner OF utilizing
mary now waste places in the Islands.

The Wachusett Reception.

On Thursday afternoon, Captain Pearson and
officers VI the U. s.. S. Wachusett held Il re-
ception on board. Invitations were Issued TO
upwards Of 500 persons, of whom about 800 &C
cepted a steam launch and the ships barges
were in ATTENDANCE at Brewers wharf to convey
the guests on board. Tie chip was decorated
with exquisite taste and to great effect. Passing
over the gangway, the visitors found themselves
encircled with flags of all nations, and on entering
the Captains cabin, they were received by Mrs.
Roper. The guns having been removed from the
after part of the main deck, there was ample
space suitable for dancing. The poop was
studded with chairs and lounges for the accom-
mediation of those who preferred to puff away
the fragrant Manila to tripping it lightly in the
May waltz. The Ward Room was the scene of
a gathering of all nations. The presence of a
Russian and also a German man-of-war in port
contributed to the mixture OF languages, but all
who could pGriez Francois found no difficulty in
giving expression to their thoughts. The fia-
wailan Band took up its position on the fore

Hon. G. p. IAUKEA, member of His Ma
iesty's Prfvy Council Of STATE and Secretary
of the Foreign Office, takes his departure
per Australia, goiIg to Europe as bis
Majesty's special Envoy. He Will proceed
as speedily as possible to Moscow in order
to present His Majesty's congratulations OH
the occasion Of the coronation of His I'm
,Derial Russian Majesty. This mission has
been contemplated for some time, but 1t
becomes all the more interesting and obiiga-
tory by the arriva! of Captain kalOgueraS
in command OF HI MS. Nayesdnik, and
who comes especially accredited from his
Government, by of His Imperial
Russian Majesty, as the bearer OF con9ratu-
latiOns to Their Majesties of Hawaii on the
occasion of their coronation. We doubt
not, that owing to the invariable generous
spirit manifested by the Imperia! Govern
ment and its officials1O this Kingdom, that
His Maiesty's Envoy will receive n cordial
welcome at the Imperial Court. Whilst III
Europe, MI Iaukea will attend, at LOndsn,
THE Grand International Fisheries Exhibit
ton as a Joint Commissioner, and Will
Whence proceed to Paris, Belgrade, and
Madrid To carry out special instructions
promotion of Hawaiian interests.
Mr.. Iaukea, though early in life, has re-
ceived a fair education, and has had All
instructive experience. He has proved III
the exercise of his duties as Secretary of
the Foreign Office during a period of about
three wears, that he possesses n careful and
deliberate judgment leading him to eau
tious enquiry and circumspect action, and
we feel confident that he will acquit himself
very creditably for the best interests of his
country during the varied and important
mission which he has before him. We wish
him on his departure bon UOgdge aud a
happy return TO his country.

IN the course of the lecture last Sunday
evening at Fort Street Church, Mr. Cruzan
spoke of that class in society that deem it
the acme of perfection in manner to never
betray any genuine feeling no matter
may happen.
He but echoed the feeling of the majority
when he expressed himself as thankful
that lie had not fallen in with those fishy-
FLOODED, la-de-da" specimens who are
the opponents of " culchaw," As opposed to
culture.
Fortunately we have but very few here
who affect what may be called Oscar
Wildism," and they are not likely To- in
crease numerically, for public senti-
ment Is too strong and healthy here
TO take kindly to namby-pambyism.
The limp lilies of society find the outdoor
life of the tropics utterly too much for them.
In n hot stuffy parloT, whose furniture and
floor is draped with heavy woolens and vel
vets, and whose windows are carefully
closed and then concealed by rich curtains,
the truly aesthetic young male or female
finds his or her congeniaI home.
Take these lovely creatures out on to the
verandah and expose them to the bracing
trade winds of Nuuauu Valley, or plunge
them into the surf at Waikiki, and they,
per force, shed their artiticiality and come
out healthy young men and women, ready,
with a little shamefacedness perhaps
to laugh at their former foilies, amongst
which the desire to be thought ~'culchawed'
is not the least conspicuous.

The GlzeHe, in its Yesterdays issue, pats
the Board of Health on the back, and calls
upon the public generally to do the same. As
the action Of the Board that has called forth
this expression of approval took place be
fore that particular number of the gazette
saw the light, that sheet cannot lay claim
to having forced the measure il 80 heartily
endorses. That this lost opportunity Is
regretted by the Gazette management il
evident from the haste with which they
declare that "theTc should DC no waVering
on the part of the Government in its duty
concerning the impending Chinese inva-
siOu,' and then goes on to point out what
should be done, in order that it may take
credit 10 itself in the future for having sug-
gested whatever the Government may do
in the matter. 1t is possible that the pro-
c~Tastinating habits OF previous Cabinets
with which the Gazette has been III accord
has imbued that sheet with the belief that
emergencies like the present would not be
provided for. If so, the probabilities are
that it will find itself as mistaken as those
will be who conclude that its advice is what
determines the action of His Majesty's
Government in these matters.
