A HoIcE FRoW HAWAX.

EDITOR SATURDAY PRRss-SIR: | am one
Of the many who highly appreciate and admire
the course Of your paper in its defence of the
rights of the taxpayer, and its exposure OF
abuses in high places.
In this lIilo district some Of us think we
have reason to be full of wrath at the way the
Minister OF the Interior treats our application
| to have piece Of road made passabc. Every
thing in that line must wait, Of eon,Je, unit
the coronation pantomne is over.
| There is rumor ahoat here that the Hon
S. G.. Wilder has concluded not to build {
| line Of railroad into IIamakua from his Kohalt
line, but WILL as soon as the treaty is safe
break ground at IIilo Bay and build lin,
through the district to Iamakua. 1t is al
right about the subsidy from the public ches
for his roads, that being provided by law, bu
with the grip he will have on Mahukona an,
IIilo he will almos, monopolize the carrying
trade of Hawaii by sea and land, a condition
tina, has an ominious outlook.

Mr.. C. Furneaux has just completed two
fine oil paintings of a much larger size than any
heretofore exhibited here byhim. They measure
about 3x5 feet. One is view of our familiar
and favorite landmark, Diamond Head, from
Waikiki, with the waves dancing in lively
upon the beach. The other is an excellent
looking in the direction of Wapio from the
mouth of Pololu valley. The effect OF the rain
haze and the rolling in of the surf upon the
beach is fine indeed.

MONTHLY CONCERT At THE
BE 2XfEL.

MONTHLY CONCERT At THE
ETHEL.
AT the last Wednesday evening gathering at
the Bethel vestry, the subject Of the Mission in
Papua, or New Guinea, was the topic upon
which the Pastor gave lecture, assisted by
the Rev. Mr.. Bishop. The latter gentleman
had prepared an excellent map Of the western
part of the Pacific, including what is known
among geographers as Melanesia, Micronesia,
and portion Of Polynesia. This map indica.
ted most accurately and admirably the relative
position of the various groups Of islands stud
ding that portion of the vast Pacific, now re-
ceiving the Gospel.
Mr.. Damon referred to the fact, that the re.
cent trip of the /niia had brought to Honolulu
one hundred iaborers, who belonged to the Pa
qua or Negro race. They were the first who
had landed here, and hence, it was important
to learn from what part Of the Ocean they
came, and what were their race affinites. After
speaking Of the Presbyterian Mission on the
New Hebrides Islands, and the Church Mis-
sionary Society on the Solomon Islands, his
remarks related to the prosperous Mission now
being established on Papua, or New Guinea.
This Mission has now been in operation about
| IL years. Mr. Damon rather abruptly closed
his remarks, reserving something for future
occasion, when he introduced the Rev. John
Edwards, who is now visiting the islands, but
who is attached to the Choctaw Mission, in
the United States, under the Presbyterian
Board, but formerly under the A. b. c, +. M.
For some 40 minutes, Mr.. Edwards spoke in
strain OF remarks intensely interesting, recall
ing the early history Of the Choctaw Mission,
and referring to some ofthe noble men-kings-
bury, Wright and others, who had been en-
gagged in that Mission. MIR, Edwards took up
the question of Civilization and Christianity,
showing which should 60 first in the evangeli
ration Of the heather people.
We cannot give full report Of Mr. Ed
wards most interesting address, which was lis
tened to with marked attention. We sincerely
hope he may he invited to repeat ii, with add
tons and variations. Mr.. Edwards is gen
.leman who has right to speak with authorii,
among Indian tribes, and also from being a
lineal descendant in the fourth generation, o
the celebrated President Edwards Of THEOLOGY
cal and Missionary fame--the Biographer o
David Brainerd, and the Missionary to ths
Stockbridge Indians.

On Thursday afternoon of this week, one Of
the Kings Ministers, and Privy-councilor,
together with sailor Of ii. Is. NJ. Ship limtine,
now in Port, were enjoying a drive through
town in an express ', when Jack, taking ad-
vantage of the condition of his distinguished
company, and having an eye to something more
substantial than the mere honor of their asso-
citation, embraced the opportunity and alb
stracted a gold watch and chain from the pocket
of the Privy.councilor which it was his inten-
ton to preserve as souvenier. Finding it i'm
mcdia,ely necessary to sever his distinguished
connections, he jumped from the wagon and
hurried along Nuuanu street; but had scarcely
turned the corner on King street, when he was
interrupted by Officers, Merhtens and Fehlber,
and persuaded to Join them in private inter
view at the Station llousi.

Wild the scene before the dread king
And the many torchlights cleaning,
The surrounding torches flick'ring
Meath the sable robe of midnight,

Alternating in succession,
Making wilder still the wild scene,
Lending the nocturnal revels
All the weirdness, all the madness,
