EpiIoR SAruRDAy PRESS Sir In your
last issue notice a quotation from Judge
Fornandcr's recent work on the Polynesinn
Races. made by Mr.. X. $. Smith, to the effect
tha, the grea, Heau Puuepa OF this district,
was built 500 10 900 years before the time Of
kamehamcha !.
Al ! have not by me the work Of Judge
Fornander, am unable to verify the Statement,
Of Mr. Smith, and therefore am no, aware OF
the data upon which the opinion rests.
My frs, visit to the Heiau was made in i84i,
and naturally enough /, became to me an object
Of permanent interest Passing it frequently,
in the prosecution of my pastoral duties no op.
portuni,y was lost for gathering such facts as
could be found pertaining TO the structure.
The population in the vicinity was then
somewhat numerous; from an old man who
claimed TO have been prizes, in the establish.
men,. learned much OF the internal arrange.
ment of the enclosure, the deposit for the bones
OF sacrifices not consumed, and that the de.
dication Of the Heiau took place when he was
a young man, that ten human victims were
moreover offered at the dedicatory service.
These statements were fully corroborated by
old people in the vicinity and in other PARTS 'af
ehc district. There were many old people who
declared themselves TO have been eye witnesses
to the ceremony. The stones Of the enclosure
they assured me were brought hom Pololu
Valley the people having been gathered by
the chiefs from various parts of the islands,
stood in lines extending from Pololu 10 Puuepa
and passed the stones from hand to hand
The distance is not far from ten miles.
With these statements, so far As known, un.
coniroverteJ, had settled down in the con-
vc,ion that the Puuepa Hciau was not very
ancient structure.
1t is, however, quite possible that i, may
have been btsMn long years in the past, and
possible too that but part Of the stones were
taken from Pololu Valley. OF this have
nothing to say. l, is simply an hypothesis by
means Of which the statements Of Judge For
nander may perhaps be harmonized with what
variance with so accomplished scholar and
SO able an antiquarian as he has shown himself
to be.
In iS43, in company with Rev. II. T.
Checver, now Of Worches,er. Massachusetts, l
made thorough examination Of the Heiau,
taking measurements, etc. The length At the
base Of the wal! we found to be gas feet and
I2s feet the width. The height Of the wall on
the northeast side was about "a feet. The
long ,rampling Of goats upon the sides Of the
wall specified, has considerably diminished the
altitude.
The whole enclosure was used as goat per
for many years.
The curious visitor to the Heiau will find or
the northwest corner, outside. the large hai
stone on which the victims were helsAoisa
when taken from the hk which stood ., The
right hand Of the entrance.

HAwAIIAN TANNERIsS

Continuing our examinations into
possible industries for these islands, we
are reminded of one that looks very
much like lapsed or neglected in
dustry, viz: the manufacture Of leather.
This island, and also Hawaii, for a
number OF years claimed tanneries,
situated a, Maunaiua, Oahu, and at
Waimea and Hilo, Hawaii, whose pro
ducts went largely to supply the local
demand for saddle and sole leather,
principally, with occasional supplies Of
calf, kid and goat skins But We hear
little Of these home tannery products
nowadays, and fear that foreign i'm
portations or other causes - are
crowding them to the wall. Few, be-
sides those intimately acquainted with
the business, are aware, probably, Of the
disadvantages this industry has labored
under, as the woods supplying the bark
for tanning purposes have diminished
in convenient localities, and labor to
obtain the same has materially in
creased. l, seems small wonder then
that the industry does not grow in pro
portion to the increased demand for
these products Tanning material
figures among the imports, and might
be increased to make up for
the decline in the local supply Of
proper bark and deficits Of other neces-
say material, but We have no know
ledge of any astemp, having been made

The Bulletin thinks i, a matter ",o
be highly commended" that the presi-
dent of the Board of Health has caused
the Lazaretto at Kakaako to be sur
rounded by a tongue and grove board
fence in the place OF the former open
one, through which "friends'of the in.
mates have been able TO converse, touch,
and even exchange pipes with them"
We rather incline to the opposite view
OF the Bulletin correspondent, signing
himself X, that this is useless and silly
expense aside from the question OF in
humanity in blocking out the view Of
the unfortunate inmates and rendering
their con(laion less healthy by thus
obstructing the tree circulation OF air.
As that correspondent suggests, it would
have been infinitely better on account
OF health considerations and equally
effective as regards the prevention OF
communication with healthy persons
outside, as well as much cheaper, to
have built second fence either several
feet inside or outside OF the old fence
and similar in CONSTRUCTIVE.
After the Prcsiden, OF the Board has
persistently, during his whole term OF
Office, insisted upon making segregation
at kakaako mere sham. against the
advice OF physicians and against the
common sense OF the whole community,
we fail 10 see why 80 useless an act as
the one mentioned should eniitle him
to any praise at all.
The fact thar lepers could and did
freely interchange situations with their
friends through the old picket, has MOI

by the press Of this cily for several years

A London dispatch Of April l4th
says, there is very general disap-
pointment over the text and tone of
Gladstone's statement in the Commons
last evening Every one expected he
would state the immediate intentions
of the government, instead Of Iinding
excuses for more delay at time when
past delays have caused a dangerous
amount Of irritation. Russia is in the
meantime pushing forward her troops
in feverish haste. The government
says any advance of the British troops
into Afghanistan might be interpreted
that England despaired Of peace, while
she really entertains strong hopes that
i, may be obtained. The day begins
with the gravity of the situation un-
changed. Notwithstanding yesterdays
social by-play Of the Car with Sir
Edward Thornton on the large pur-
chases OF Russian bonds in the Stock
Exchange for Berlin account, the
opinion Of this mornings press can be
we'll summarized that the situation is
not changed, and that there is still
some faint hope OF peace on one side
and strong doubt as to the possibility
Of averting war on the other side. 4
Gladstone, in the House Of Com
mons this afternoon, stated that word
had been received from Sir Peter
lumsden, which showed that there
was no confirmation of the report that
the Russians had advanced to the
Murghab river after the battle Of Penj-
deh. Continuing Gladstone said tina,
the result Of the governments COM
municati6ns with Russia concerning
the reported advance amounted to the
renewing Of Russia's assurance that nc
| such advance will occur If the issue oi
contrary instructions can prevent it.
The Russian military organ, the Svet,
sums up the situation thus "For.
ward to Herat Now is the time"
Kaul Bars, the Russian minister
says; "'rhe first shot was fired by the
Afghans. Komarod's conduct was
thoroughly correct He did not even
occupy the territory on the Kushk,
which, by the terms Of the convention,
he might have done The Afghans

A short time ago i, was reported
through the newspapers that the new
Secretary OF the United States Treasury
would issue another bond.call which
would be paid ou, OF the surplus
OF Sio,ooo,o 900 which had lately accu-
mulated. The question which now at
tracts our attention is, Why has this
call not been made ? This surplus re-
serve consists of gold and silver bullion,
gold and silver coin, and bank notes.
fractional silver coins, etc. The re.
serve fund is largely composed OF
standard dollars and fractional silver
currency. In case this new call was
made a run on the treasury nigh,

lars and fractional silver would not be
