ONE of the chief benefits which will
be derived from the Portuguese immi-
grafton, by Hawaii, in addition to the
supplying of plantation labour, is the
acclimatization of those small hand in
dustries practised by the immigrants.
The Madeira islands are celebrated over
the world for their products of inlaid
work, wicker work, lace, and embroid-
cry. These islands will undoubtedly in
time become so. In the meantime a
profitable trade is springing p in the
importation eff them. We were called
in on Saturday to see Messrs. Dias &
Goasalyes' stock of new importations of
wicker-chairs, tables, and baskets, em-
broidery, handsew'n boots and shoes,
etc. All of which we advise our readers
to so and see. They will not regret it.

Majesty on board his vessel, at which
adisplay of those fireworks, for which
the japanese are so justly famed,
was one of the attractions.
At 5 O'Clock the guests were con-
veyed on board by the ships boat,
where they found every preparation
had been made to receive them by
Captain Ito and Mrs. j. o. Carter,
ASSISTED by Mr. j. o. Carter.
His Majesty made the visit unoffi-
cially, as the health of the sailors
had not yet sufficiently recovered to
permit the customary honors of man
ming the yards and firing salutes be-
ing given. The after-deck was care
fully screened and shaded hy a cano-
py of flags of all nations, some of
which have not beeu seen here before.
The cabin skyli9hts made an impro-
vised table with the aid of some
beautiful silk table-cloths of Japan
csc workmanship on which were
placed beautiful and rare porcelain
vases filled with fresh flowers.
Chairs and .faueuas wefc disposed
round the sides.
After half an hours interesting
and pleasant converse the guests were
invited to go forward and see the
exhibition of day fireworks. The
programme of this portion of the
entertainment has already been be-
fore our readers, so we will confine
ourselves to few remarks. The
fireworks are put upin conical oblong
cases, something like very large
rocket, about foot in length, and
three inches in diameter. They are
fired, from wooden mortar bound
round with bamboo hoops, precisely
as shot is fired from = cannon.
After reaching a certain height the
case eXplodes and colored smoke
appears taking tire shape of flowers,
trees, etc. From some of them
coloured paper figures are expelled
which expand and form figures. One
of these the Goddess of Liberty with
shield emblazoned with the stars
and stripes was especially admired.
Gamblers precions was die
with its 6 sides marked with the
spots. The Sunset of Venice
was 5 beautifully tinted clouds. The
Band enlivened the intervals with
appropriate music. Later on they
sang some Hawaiian meles.
After the day fireworks had been
shown an adjournment was made to
the awning which during the display
of fireworks had been quickly turned
into a supper room. Everything
was of the best style and daintiest
arrangement that could be found,
amongst them being several peculiar
to the japanese cuisine. The Cap
tain and officers We'd with each other
in heaplng attentions on their guests.
Afterwards the evening fireworks
were displayed, being, if possible,
more beautiful than the afternoons
exhibition. About $50 pm. the
guests departed.
Throughout the Captain and Off
GERS displayed the greatest courtesy
and attention possible, and proved
themselves worthy representatives of
that hospitality for which Japan is
so famous.
Amongst the guests present were
His Majesty the King, II. r.. II.
Princess Likelike, His Elk. Gov. j.
o. Dominis, Hon. A. S. Cleghorn,

THE APOSTLES OF ANTI-sLAvERy.
Mr.. Parker Pillsbury, ne Of the most active, III
compromising and terrible of the earlier abolition
lists still lives and has written book aptly entitled
Acts OF the Anti-Slavery Apostles" 1t is book
well worth having for it contains much not only Of
personal experience but of carefully collected facts
in danger of being forgotten, that serves to make
plain to those of the generation which knows not
slavery what monstrous wrong and oppression it
was, and how completely the poison of its sin and
shame had infected every part of the political, SO.
cal and religious life of the land SO that it was
counted the most heinous of crimes to denounce it
as crime and proclaim tue gospel of salvation by
emancipation. In three particulars, Mr.. Pillsbury's
book is especially valuable rst its account of the
early anti-slavery work in New Hompshire; second
Its vigorous and Just sketches some of the early
abolitionists with whom he was closely associated
third, the record of the attitude of the churches
toward the aboltionists 1t is difficult to see how
any Christian at this day read this record with
out shame, because it cannot be denied. And vet
it ought to be read by ALL if only that it may be the
more sincerely and humbly repented Of Several
narratives and histories have been written with the
purpose Of setting forth that remarkable move
ment lnaugurated by the abolitionsts of whom Will
liam Lloyd Garrison was the chief; but we know of
none which for fidelity and realism surpasses this

The Maine Central Meeting

President Jackson of the Maine Central
railroad expressed the opinion last evening
that the Eastern railroad never intended
to remove him from the presidency of
the Maine road, or to make sweeping
changes in its management, and said
that he was at loss to account for
the newspaper statements TO that effect. We
cannot speak for our contemporaries but the
statements to that effect which have APP
peared in the PRESS have been made upon
what was supposed to be, and is still believed
to be, trustworthy authority.
1t was only few days ago that promi-
nent director of the Maine Central road
stated to representative of the PRESS that
he expected to have his head cut off at the
annual meeting and made some other re-
marks which showed that he was laboring
under the impression that some very sweep
ing changes we're to be made at that meeting.
1t is somewhat singular, too, if all the
talk which has appeared in the newspapers
on this subject was unfounded, that some of
the Maine Central directors did not put a
stop to it. A declaration from Darius Alden
of Augusta that he believed there was no in
tention of making any sweeping changes in
the Maine Central board, would probably
have put stop to talk of that kind, in the
Kennebec Journal which has been making
good deal of it, and certainly a word
from President Jackson would have pro-
duced similar effect upon the PRESS. But.
throughout this discussion which has been
going on for weeks no Maine Central direc-
tor or stakeholder, SO far as we have OBJ
served, has taken his pen to say that it was
entirely uncalled for, or to intimate even
remotely that there was no foundation for
1t.
The fact that the predicted changes did
not take place and that President Jackson
will remain at the head ofthe road another
year, is by no means conclusive that such
changes were not intended. 1t is not very
improbable that the hostility which was de-
veloped against their program, and which
was brought to their attention by the news
papers, convinced the Eastern people that it
was best to make haste slowly and that the
ultimate object they have 10 view was much
more likely to be subseryed by eoncilatory
course than by an audacious one. There are
very few railroad schemes which at some
stage OF their progress are not dependent
for success upon public favor. Public hos
tility is pretty likely to be fatal to them

why They Voted For Mr.. Keif.

Why They Voted For Mr.. Refer.
Attention has already been directed to the
fact that the Boston Civil Service Associa-
tion had inquired of Congressman Ranney
and Long to know for what reason, consis-
tent with avoweG support of civil service re-
form, they voted for Mr.. Keifer for speaker
The two Congressman have made respectful
reply at considerable length.
Governor Long says that it never occurred
to him that the civil service reform issue,
that is 'the reform of the methods of ap-
pointment in the departmental civil SERVICE"
was in any way involved in the recent voting
for speaker, and he does not think that any,
body who voted for or against Mr.. Keifer
did so with regard TO that question. He
says their question would be less easy to
answer if 1t where why he voted for Mr..
Keifer contrary to the current of public SEN
timent in Massachusetts,; but he proceeds
to answer that question by saying that mas
much as it was simply question who
should be knocked down by Mr.. Carlisle, he
didn't think it worth while to max row in
Tie canp' MI. Keller was not his personal
preference but inasmuch as 80 per cent. of
the Republicans, including all who voted for
the civil service reform bill at the last ses-
sion, voted for Mr.. Keifer, he did not think
the exigeney had arisen which would Justify
him in breaking from the ranks of the party
although he will "be happy to do so when
ever occasion requires" Had he been cleo
ted as an independent the conditions would
have been different He reminds the Asso-
citation casually that Mr.. Dorman b. Eaton
says that Mr.. Keller aided very efficiently in
securing the present civil service enact
ment.
Mr.. Ranney makes answer that he voted
for speaker Keifer for reasons which in his
judgment were not inconsistent with ais

A short time ago the Portland PRESS had long
editorial to show that the common idea that rum
drinking caused crime was erroneous-Gardiner
Home Journal
The Portland PRESS never had an editor
ial, long or short, to show any such thing.
1t did have an editorial to show that the in
crease of certain great crimes, particularly
murders, in this State could not be attribu-
ted 10 rum-drinking for two reasons, first
because it was well known that the murders
under consideration were committed by sob
men, and, secondly, because if the increase
of these crimes were due to rum-drinking it
would be necessary to presume that rum
drinking had increased since the prohibitory
law was enacted, which is contrary to obvi-
Gus fact. Ifthe Gardiner Home News can
see no distinction between this and what it
asserts that the PRESS contained, it is to be
pitied rather than blamed.

The Washington Republican, in column
editorial, probably inspired by Mr. Conkling,
denies that that gentleman is interesting
himself in the smallest degree in Presiden-
tial ''booms.' The denial is prompted by a
statement in New York paper that Mr..
Conkling had joined the alleged Blaine-Lo-
gan alliance to assist in crushing President
Arthur's chances. Mr.. Conkling wishes it
understood that he is purely private citi-
zen, earning a livelihood by the practice of
the law. There is no very widespread dis
position to wish that it were otherwise.

was simply for the purpose of getting rid of
some Of his burdens which he found too

do by being President of SO many compa-
