We find the following very pertinent
suggestion in the N Y. Tribune: 1--WE
observe that while the tendency among
husbands to kill their wives and then at
tempt suicide is on the increase, the wife
killing is generally more successful than
the subsequent operation 1t is pity that
any man who contemplates this kind OF
double slaughter should be baked in his
endeavor to put himself out of the way,
and therefore it may be suggested. As m
amendment to the prevailing custom, that
the suicide part of the business should be
attended tn first"

QUEEN EMMA'S VISIT TO ENGLAND IN
1865,
From pamphlet issued Mt the time. See
editorial notice in this issue.l

From pamphlet issued ut the time. See
editorial notice in this ssue.l
There is royal body now on our
shores, coming and going amongst
us, and learning daily more and
more what English people are, about
whom very little is known to the
majority Of the people who seem to
welcome her SO gladly. 1t is there
fore the object of this little book to
give some account of Queen Emma,
and of what has induced her to
leave her island home in the Pacific,
and brave the perils of this long
voyage, and to try and enlist the
sympathies and interest of some of
the thousands who throng to catch
sight of her, and who, from lip to
lip, pass the question, "Who is
Queen Emma, and what has brought
her to England!"
Queen Emma is the youthful
widow Of the late King Of the Sand
wich Islands, and had she come
merely out Of curiosity to see the
wonderful and great empire, whose
fame she must have heard of from
her earliest days, her presence would
have been hailed as signal for
feting and welcoming her, and Eng
fish people would have made the
occasion of her visit a joyous time
to look back to when she was once
more safe among her native sub
jects; but there is something SO
peculiar--so mournful and yet
touchingly sacred-in the cause
which impellsd her to come, that
kind of refining gentle joy seems to
pervade all hearts that have felt her
story, and to leave an impress be-
hind, wherever she has been, that
people will not readily forget. How
ever, it is to enlist the sympathies
and interests beforehand, in proper
spirit, of those who have not seen
her, that these pages are written /;
for out of the numbers who catch a
glimpse of the royal lady as she
comes and goes from town to town,
but very few comparatively may
ever have an opportunity of listen
ing to the viUa voce relation of her
mission to England in her actual pres
ence, and yet it is tale that should
speak to the heart of every earnest,
thinking man, woman and child in
this Christian Empire, and il rightly
understood, draw forth such an i'm
pulse to aid her, that she will return
to Honolulu with blessing in her
gentle, pure heart, ever to be
The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1885-05-18

And now, in closing, | wish to
divide this audience into two class
es; those who by their lives and
profession assent to the principles /
have advocated this evening, and
those who do not. To you who en-
joy the liberty of Christian life |
say, Stand fast in that liberty in
which Christ has made you free.
You have been emancipated from
self-indulgence, and tasted the
sweets of the redeemed manhood.
You know this total abstinence re-
form to be an integral principle of
the Kingdom yet to be established
on the Earth, and it will be your
pleasure and privilege to 'oork for
God and humanity. Be earnest, be
faithful in spreading the principles
you hold. To others, who as yet
have not seen the value of these
principles, / say, weigh well what l
have said. Remember, there is no
such thing as standing still in
life. To all / say, we are
living in anxious times. One after
another of the pillars of the Hawai-
ian race are being removed. One
royal in lineage, and distinguished
in virtue, has just passed away, and
we all as one community mourn n
nations loss. The old traditional
safeguards of morality are being
loosed, and the dangerous traffic l
have been denouncing is now legalized
for the first time On the other islands.
OF its effect no same man can have
a doubt. Sixty years ago the natives
of the island of what is now Tas-
mania numbered about as many as
the whole Hawaiian population of
this Kingdom to-day, but drink and
the vices which accompany it swept
them away. In the whole civilized
world to-day governments, claiming
to represent the will of the people,
respond to the cry of the people to
enact laws that will make it easier
for the people to do right than
wrong.
In conclusion, our duty is plain,
and 1 urge its faithful discharge
upon all here. Let us stand shoulder
to shoulder. Let us place the party
squarely before the advocates of
license and the people. Let us say
fairly and honestly, that if the
saloons Of this land do more good
than evil, bless more homes than they
curse, make more good men than
bad men, more intelligent men than
ignorant men, more industrious men
than idle men, more happy hearts
than sad ones, more wealthy men
than paupers, if they give us more
plenty than want, more prosperity
than ruin, then you will stand by,
work for, and vote for the men who
encourage the saloon system. But
if, on the other hand, the saloon
system Of this country everywhere
stimulates vice, avarice, crime, and
disease, it is the enemy of mankind,
the enemy of civilization, intelli-
gence, morality, Christianity, and
God, the question we have to settle
with our consciences and with our
souls is, Which is right and which is
wrong?

A Chinese Funeral.
Toronto Globe.

The procession which accompanied
the remains of the Chinese Prince Lau-
Flu to their last resting place was head
ed by thirty-six slaves, clad in gar
ments of green cloth, and bearing a
huge wooden cage, representing the
funeral of the soul. These were fol-
lowed by 100 slaves, dressed IN red, and
carrying tablets inscribed with the
titles, honors and virtues of the dead.
Next came twenty sportsmen, leading
22O hounds once belonging to Lau-Fn,
the camels, mules, horses, sedan chairs,
and the private carriage, drawn by a
mule; sixteen servants, dressed in
green silk, bore an armchair covered
with tiger skin, regiment of cavalry
and infantry followed, then the body
servants and cunnels, thirty two priests
with temple music, and finally the coffin,
borne by eighty servants, and covered
with a silk pail. The Emperor was
represented by six empty carriages, be-
hind which walked the grandees.
Prince Lau-Fu's arms, carriages,
clothes, tents, ETC., were all burned as Il
winding up of the festivities.

Financial Commercial.
With regard to the influence Of the
Russian war upon our commercial and
financial interests, we can not help re-
peatiDg that it is very easy to over esti-
mate the benefit we are to derive from
it. Even on the price of wheat, the
prevailing views appear to us extrava-
giant Without counting California,
where there is a large surplus, and
where the crop prospects are now re-
ported excellent, the amountin sightin
the United States and afioat for Europe
is about 100000 bushels more than
last year, while current receipts, as
well as the low values ruling, go to
prove that very considerable amount
is even yet left to be sent forward.
Then the Australian crop is just coming
in and is good one, and will afford,
according to the latest advices, an ex-
portable surplus of about 100000
bushels.
