/ crimes which justify the SevereSt pun
ishment known 10 man. Now here in
these letters is there any allusion 10
any Scriptural event where the wicked
are parioned Perhaps Mr.. Davies
knew Of none. Ii the deposed Queen
did not read these letters, we have the
singular instance OF the similarity OF
thought in the savage and the civil
| lirei mind, especially on sanguinary
lines.
| Further examination ot these pam
| phletS settles forever, we hope, the
disputed authorship Of the term
''iamn missionary" Many exhaust
i've researches hSvs been made IN or
der to ascertain who is entitled 10 the
credit Of coming this lurid and sui
phurpuS term. The claims Of so many
have been vigorously pushed, that
modern scholars are reluctant to award
| il 10 anyone, without further re-
seSrch. Ii IS said that n gentleman
/ connected with the foreeSstle mot the
| family Castle, OF n tramp schooner,
| gives s circumStAuti9l account Of 4
period when he, under 8 sudden in
Spiratiou, used the phrase In the pres
euee Of other ssafaring gentlemen,
while attending an elaborate dinner
Of five courses OF "lobscouSe,n on the
forecastle hatch. This, however, is
only s yarn which may be safely
repeated 10 the marines of Captains
Barker and Nelson's ships An emil
nent traveller states that he heard the
phrase, for the first time, some years
Sgo while occupying hack in the
streets OF this city, when the driver
informed him thSt the country was
oysr-ruu with damn missionaries
The driver. however, denied that he
used the classic language in the tran
SSctiou 81 this business, but did use
the term bloomiu' missionary
These letters settle the question, If it
can ever be settled. On page -. Mr..
Davies, in referring TO the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association, declares that
1.-The mind stands bewilderei in the
presence of such morality aud logic,
snd l may adi, such profanity
Here Is distinct charge OF ''eu>S-
ing Sni swearing" that DR.. Beck
with. DR.. HYDE Sui Mr.. :. E. Bishop
are taking the name of God in
vain:n are whooping up bSd lam
suage IN the streets, and thereby
meriting expulsion from church. And
on the next page, IN writing Of the
same Missionary Association, he says:
Those HSwaiianS who have sided
with the doctrine OF the transfer of
Hawaiian nationality 70 any other
flag, without consent of the people,
are traitors As profanity and trea-
son Justly merit snd receive puRish-
ment in this world. and especially in
the next. II i elesr that Mr.. Davies
bas smother conviction that the
missionaries will be damned, and that
the term used is only anticipatory.
Whether the Almighty will have the
temerity 20 differ with Mr.. Davies
cannot be SSeeTtsined until, in the
hereafter, an inspection Of the Oeeu-
pants Of the hot gridirons Is allowed
by Mr.. Davies Again, regarding the
origin Of the term, it is forcibly
clsiued by Professor Whistlerigger,
OF Berlin, thSt the conception OF 3
thought, its mere outline in the mind,
without definite ani outward shape,
entities the pOSseSsOr Of il, under the
best rules OF criticism, 10 the credit of
originating it, Mr.. Davies, with his
really divine knowledge OF things,
knew long before the seafsring man
existed that the missionaries would
be damned and therefore the term
tdan missionary" must have fosted
in = nebulous state in his mind from
the beginning. This fOrcible argu-
meut would seem 10 be decisive in
the case, snd should permit Mr..

In closing We can refer only 10 an
incidental matter. II Is well known
