the ear 10 listen for the mufiled
thunders Of natures ngonics, and
even the blood rushes TO the feet at
the view Of half-congealed lava with
red eyes of fire cleaning through
many points, giving warning Of the
consequences of rsshly treading too
near the flame-laved shore. The
perpendicular and battered walls, all
aglow with the flame of many erup-
tions; the livid gleam from blazing
caverns hid with overhanging cliffs
the serrated and leaning towers of
rock, every crevice Of which is a
red-hot mouth, and the fierce flames
bursting the bars of the mountain
here and there near the margin of
the lake Of fire-these, with the ac-
cessories of atmosphere and sky true
to nature, are sublimely recrcated by
the artist. One turned with q sense
of relief from the terribly sublime in
the burning lake to the quiet and
majestic grandeur of the snow-capped
mountain on the other wall. Mr..
Strong has produced in Mauna Kea
very impressive picture, which it
is impossible to fully take in at one
brief view. 1t is a picture that
stays with the mind, so real is its
atmosphere, so true have its details
been subdued to convey an accurate
sense of distance. The imagination
is compelled to supply the invigorat-
ing mountain air, and the GOODNESS
waited from the snowy diamond on
the pinnacle. This picture should
really accompany the other in its
appearances in the great cities Of
the world. Each, by contrast, en-
hances the impression produced by
the other. Either, wherever shown,
must magnify the natural attractions
of these Hawaiian Islands.

ting them in things pertaining to
their temporal as we'll as spiritual
welfare. There are many on these
Islands advanced in years-who have
to thank this noble lady for their
first teachings. The anniversary of
her golden wedding was celebrated
in Honolulu, October 2nd, 1882,
and was attended by large circle
of friends. The deceased lady
leaves two children, Mrs. B. f.
Dillingham;, wife of our esteemed
townsman, and Mr.. A. l.. Smith,
merchant, Fort street, and Superin-
tendent of the Kaumakapili Sunday
School. Mrs. Smith was secretary
of the Strangers Friend Society and
also President of the Woman's
Board of Missions. The bereaved
husband and family have the entire
sympathy of the whole community
in this their hour of bereavement.
The funeral will take place to-mor-
row afternoon at half-past three
O'Clock from the Kaumakapili church,
the scene of SO many years. labor Of
the deceased and her husband. The
Revs. Z. c. Oggel and A. o. Forbes
will conduct the services.

TWO PICTURES.

Utilitarians OF the more sordid
sort are apt TO rail at modern pro-
gress in the fine arts as symptom
of degeneration. They draw infer
ences preiudicial to high refinement
from the fact that art fourished
most in ancient empires when the
bases of political and social order
were crumbling away. Decay, they
are ready to say, must needs have
supervened in modern nations when
they have passed that point in mate
rial prosperity, when they can afford
to expend wealth in nurturing those
who minister to the finer feelings of
the mind and imagination. A higher
respect of utility, however, presents
the claims of mans finer faculties as
being at least equally worthy of re-
cognition with thot4a of his material
necessities. Those who are able to
help sustain the fine arts. as well as
those who can only afford to admire
them, have not the patience to argue
out the point with those who have
no soul above food, drink, raiment,
and the money they may accumulate
after those things are procured.
There is material utility in the fine
arts, however, which their advocates
find more serviceable in defence
against the assaults of the class des-
cribed, than appeals to long-suffo-
Gated impulses and extinct we'll
springs of deadened souls. One
phase only of the material utility of
the fine arts is necessary to intro
duce the present subject of writing.
That is, their serviceableness in
attracting the worlds attention to a
country, with benefit to all its inter-
ests, through whatever it possesses
of the grand, the beautiful, and the
romantic. Admirers of art for art s
sake do not fail to perceive this
phase. Indeed, it is impossible that
intelligent persons should, when the
stores of general information abound
with marked instances of it. Those
who went to see Tavcrnier's picture
Of the great volcanic lake of Kilauea,
and Strong's picture of the majestic
Mauna Kea mountain, were seized
instinctiyely, even while the spell Of
artistic genius was upon them, witt
the impression that there were the
best advertisements this country
could possibly have in other lands
Especially the picture of the volcano
for excellent as Mr.. Strong's pro
duction is, his subject is not ont
that cannot be duplicated in nature
mighty works abroad. There hav'
been fine word pictures sent through
out the world of our appallingly
grand volcano; photographs, ant
pictures copied of them, have als'
gone far and wide--all calculated t.
impress its wonderful characteristic
upon those seeing such counterfeit
presentiments. Yet never bafor,
has justice been rendered to tina
peerless phenomenon, approaching
that done by Tayernier. Think O
the reality, when the artists repro
duction upon dihinutive canvas fill
the beholdcr with awe, and becomes
SO vivid to the senses as he gazes
that the eye begins to watch for new
flame cones in the seething pond

OBITUARY.

1t becomes our painful duty to
announce the death of Mrs. Lowell
Smith, which took place seven
minutes before seven O'Clock this
morning at the residence of her
daughter, Mrs. B. F. Dillingham;,
Punahou. For the past few months
the health of the deceased lady has
been noticed by her immediate
friends to be gradually failing. She
attended the whole of Mrs. Leavitt's
lectures, but since then had got
much weaker until she was compelled
to take to her bed. She fully rea-
lized that her end was drawing near.
About two weeks ago, the deceased
seems to have fallen into an uncon-
scious sleep, suffering very little
pain. Yesterday the doctor had
some hopes that his patient might
rally and be spared little longer,
but it has pleased God to rule it
otherwise. The deceased was born
in 1910 at Westboro, Mass, and
was married to the Rev. DIR. Lowell
Smith, October End, 1882. They
came 10y way of Cape Horn to these
islands in 1884 and have resided
here ever since, with the exception
Of visit they made to the States in
1865, which extended nearly year.
For fifty years has the deceased
labored hand in hand with her hus-
band among the Hawaiians, instruc-

A California paper ridicules the
suggestion that farmers there should
plant and grow dates, saying, ''This
delicious fruit fourishes in warm
saline water that would kill any plant
but the date, and is called the King
of Sahara >" The condition of
warm saline water we should think
could be easily found in these
Islands. What says Mr.. Jaeger?
Some time ago the Georgia Legis-
lature placed the clerical work in the
hands of women. Lately Governor
Mcdaniel testified that he had never
examined an equal number Of bills
so free from errors and defects,
while experts declare the work of
the ladies to be fifty percent cleaner
and more correct than any ever done
by male clerks. A great many of
the clerks employed in Washington
are of the gentler sex, and for some
descriptions of clerical service they
are unapproached by men in ex--
pertness.
AS an instance of how poverty
may be turned into wealth, in the
case of land, fifteen acres of land
considered almost worthless were
| bought in 1858, near San Jose, CAL,
for $40 an acre. 1t was situated in
the river bottom, but orchards were
planted and fruit ripened so success
fully that recently the purchaser,
Mr.. II. Rice, sold five acres at
81, 900 per acre. If the magic wand
of intelligent industry were likewise
waved over all the unimproved land
of this Kingdom, how shortly would
sugar depression be robbed of most
of it's terrors!

Five Little Fishes.

Captain Beckett, Of the British ship
Amana, now in port, has shark story
which merits place in nautical litera-
ture, because it bears the imprint Of re-
ality, and can be proved by the aflida-
Wits of Captain Beckett and Of every
member of his crew. When his ship
was of Montevideo she was becalmed
for several hours. A shark with
five little ones hung around the ves-
sci all day. As soon as there was
commotion on the water the mother
would open her mouth and the little
ones would dart inside for protection.
For amusement the sailors threw bits
Of refuse overheard among the family,
disturbing the water, each time with
the same result. The young quintet
Immediately disappeared down the
capacious countenance Of their protect.
or. On the following morning shark
hook and line, baited with pork, was
thrown overheard, and in short time
shark was landed on deck. Upon
being opened 1t was discovered TO be
the very same fish which had amused
the boys the day before, because five
young sharks were safely slowed away
under her tongue. Portland 0regonion.

SENATOR SUMNER.
A Pages story OF How the Great states
man Led Him by the Ears.

A Pages story OF How the Great states
man Led Him by the Ears.
Senator Sumner took quite an inter-
est in me, and had an especial fondness
for catching me by the ears. Often have
l attempted to pass the Senator, while
he was walking to and fro on the floor
of the Senate, only to have both my ears
seized good-naturedly, and to be asked
some kindly question. i shall always
remember one OF these adventures-fo
it vdS an adventure! He had sent me
on an errand. Having returned, re-
ported to him the answer, and received
his deep-voiced thanks, | started to
move away, but he had caught me, and
continued his slow march, in front
Indian file. As he was a tall man and
very small boy in comparison, / had
to walk on tiptoe to ease the pain,
and even then II seemed as II
my ear would come of my head
The worst of it was that he at
once became so lost in thought that
he forgot he had hold OF me, and
mechanically paced up and down,
with his long strides, while l danced q
mild war-dance, for some minutes-it
seemed TO me hours-to the intense
amusement of all who observed it. The
more struggled, the more did / in
crease the agony, but l at last managed
to wriggle away from his grasp. The
sudden "emptiness" OF his hand caused
him TO realize the state Of affairs, and
he begged my pardon so energetically,
and the spectators smiled so audibly,
that the proceedings Of the Senate were
interrupted and Mr.. Colfax actually
had to tap with his gavel to restore
order!
But Il was, after all, an honor to be
noticed, even in that fashion, by so dis
tinguished man as Senator Summer.
He had the widest reputation Of any Of
the Senators, and the first question most
visitors to the Senate would ask was:
(Which is Charles Summer" ?"-Edn,und
| Alton, IN 50. Nicholas.
