The college paper says that President
Bartlett of Dartmouth refuses to grant ex-
cuses to students who desire to attend Unita-
rian services at Hanover This means that
if they do not 20 TO the regular college church
and do attend the Unitarian, their marks
will be lowered and their standing in their
classes as scholars and as "honor" men will
be seriously impaired
This looks like rather barbarous pro-
ceeding for this age, but it should be re-
membered that according to President Bart
let's theology Unitarianism is not only alb
surd, but absolutely wicked, and it is not,
therefore, strange that he proposes to re
strain these young men from attending its
services

parade at some official house. What
did that mean? Free institutions,
self-government. He went TO Ireland,
and saw plenty of soldiers, because
they had not self-government. They
were, however, now going to have
what was wanted. Give them a
chance. They would not disappoint
the best hopes of their friends, and
would show that they did not de-
serve the name of q dissolute, idle,
lawless race, which they had got the
name of. He was afraid he was
wandering over subjects of a politi-
cal nature rather than those which
should be touched on at social
meeting. He had come, as he said
the other day, as minstrel boy
to sing the songs Of his own coun-
try" A very great poet had said,
"Let any man who pleases make
the laws of country, let me sing
their songs, and I will be the more
powerful of the two, He was
proud, therefore, to be a minstrel in
that sense, and he was proud also to
consider that, as Daniel Webster
once remarked, "the national airs
of England formed ring round the
whole habitable world, and that the
sun never set upon them" So he
(Mr. Boucicault) had found the
brogue of his country to be the
same. He had never found a place
on sea or land, wherever the English
language was spoken, but the brogue
was there. Irishmen were mixed
up with Englishmen and Scotsmen |;
and the great English people, no
matter whether they were Americans
or Australians, they were always the
same-one people, and if the time
ever came-God forbid that it ever
should-that Great Britain had to
hold her own against the Powers Of
Europe, the English.speaking races
as one man-the 80 millions in the
United States would join with Great
Britain, making 100 millions-they
would stand by her, because they
regarded her as the temple of the
civilization and freedom of the
world. (Cheers.) He thanked those
present very kindly for the welcome
they had given him. He was wholly
unprepared to meet them, and if he
had thought the matter over for ten
minutes he might have been able TO
say something. He felt their kind
ness deeply. Although in one sense
stranger to them, perhaps he had
been present with them in the spirit
for many years, and had given them
few hours of enjoyment, and he
hoped they might be enabled to
spend q few more while he was here.

Dillingham;, the leading promoter,
organized an expedition of members
of the press and others, to explore
the whole region. This resulted in
the lands being thoroughly described
in all the English papers of Homo
lulu, through which the information
was scattered far and wide where il
was calculated TO have due effect.
Next provisional company was
formed, under the name. of "The
Hawaiian Colonization, Land and
Trust Company" and a preliminary
prospectus issued, which has been
given enormous circulation through
the newspapers, the Planters
Monthly, and detached pamphlets
by the thousand. These efforts to
present the scheme to the public at
home and abroad have already
yielded good promise of ultimate
success. Letters of enquiry have
crossed continents and oceans to
reach the promoters. Friends and
agents of the kingdom in foreign
lands are encouraging the project,
and looking about them for capital
to start it, and for settlers to occupy
the available territory and build up
the nation. Applications in large
number have already been received
for appointments of land. That
all these gratifying results should
have been obtained within so short
period speaks well for the intelligent
devotion of the gentlemen who have
assumed the undertaking, besides
justifying sanguine anticipations that
one of the most important enter
prises ever mooted in this kingdom
one designed to have the most far
reaching, beneficial influences upon
national prosperity-willb before many
months be successfully put into
operation Dec. 10th.

of the ten thousand acres to be de-
voted to colonization is good rich
soil. Extending from Pearl harbor
to the foothills of the Waianae
mountains, the area gradually
reaches an elevation of about 1000
feet. A large proportion of the land
may be irrigated by storing water as
above mentioned, but, besides that
recourse and artesian wells, water is
obtainable at many points from
springs and similar favors of nature.
Being in the most elevated region Of
Oahu, the rainfall of the area is
very large, and it is anticipated,
upon the strength of wellknown
natural law, that, once under cult
walton, more humid conditions still
would be induced.
Already over forty applications
for lands have been received by the
provisional company, the aggregate
amount applied for exceeding two
thousand acres. The applicants,
some of whom are long residents in
the country, are confident of being
able to make fair living from pro-
ducts they can raise for even the
local market. BY raising sugar on
shares with the company, the owner
of five acres, it is estimated, is as
sured of a net income of from ST.
900 to 1900 year, besides minor
sources of living that an agricul-
tural holding affords. This would,
indeed, be princely existence to
many millions of people throughout
the globe, "who," as the cores
pendent says, "toil increasingly six
months of the year to exist the re-
naming SIX"
Besides the foregoing inducements
to settlers, it is intimated that per-
sons disposed to engage in stock
raising can be accommodated with
lands of the company, by purchase
or lease, with the opportunity of
buying high class of stock now
subsisting on the property. The
company would even "cut up and
dispose of the whole property on
very favorable terms to desirable
class of bonafide settlers. "-[ Dec.
