THE FRIEND,
OCTOBER 2, 1865.

Arrival of Chinese Immigrants.—During
the past week there has been an arrival
of Chinese immigrants, being the first com-

pany forwarded by Dr. Hillebrand, who has

been commissioned by the Government to
procure laborers from China or India. As
they were landing, we visited the wharf,
and learned that the company consists of
199 men, 43 women and 8 children—total,
250. They were accompanied by an interpreter. Each immigrant held a copy in
Chinese of the articles of his indenture, and
the Government agent possessed a copy in
English. In substance, the document reads
thus: The immigrant agrees to work in
the Hawaiian Islands for five years, on the
following conditions: Free passage from
China to Honolulu ; four dollars each calendar month, as wages; to be well supplied
with comfortable lodging, food, clothing, and
gratuitous medical services, and the immigrant allowed Sundays and three Chinese
holidays. At the expiration of the term of
service, the immigrant to return or not, as
he sees fit. A majority will undoubtedly
remain at the Islands after their period of
labor closes. Chinese fraternize with the
natives. Most sincerely do we hope both
planters and laborers may be benefited by
the arrangement. According to Hawaiian
laws, the newly arrived immigrant laborer
will have full access to the Courts if his
employer treats him with cruelty. If at any

time those employing these men treat them
unkindly or unjustly, we hope the Government authorities will interfere, for through
the representation of a Government agent
have they been induced to come hither.
Our own impression is that we shall soon
see many thousands of Chinese laborers
in these Islands.
Young Chile.—From letters just received
from the Rev. D. Trumbull, Pastor of the
Foreign Church of Valparaiso, we learn that
there is a growing and powerful party
among the Chilenos who are exceeding restive under the regime of the Priests. There
is a loud call for the Bible in Spanish. Mr.
Trumbull has resided nearly twenty years
at Valparaiso, and acquired a full knowledge of the people and language. He often
publishes articles in the newspapers of the
country, in which he challenges the Priests
to meet him in fair and open discussion.
In the true Lutheran style, he offers to prove
that the Priests " teach not the people
truly;" "not according to Scripture ;" " not
according to the Apostles ;" not according

who are affording him much encouragement
to prosecute his Evangelical labors and distribute the Bible.
Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society.—
The next meeting of this Society will be
held at M. dc Varigny's residence, in Nuuanu
Valley, on Tuesday, Oct. 2.
We are glad to notice in many papers
the announcement of Queen Emma's
arrival in England, in good health.

Singing in Common Schools.—The Hawaiian Board of Education, we learn, has
tabued singing during school-hours in the
common schools—in our opinion a most
stupid and unphilosophical prohibition, utterly opposed to the opinions of the best educators of Europe and America. We invite the members of the Board to visit our
sanctum and spend the morning hours for
the purpose of overhearing the native children in the Catholic school and the Protestant children in Mr. Beckwith's, (both private schools,) sing their pleasant, cheerful
and grateful morning hymns and songs.
If the members of the Board are not
ashamed of the rule which they have
adopted, then, with Shakspeare, we will say,
those who have no music in their souls are
fit for"—we will not say what; (ah, we forget—Boards and Corporations have no souls,)
or that another English poet must have been
wrong when he wrote,

"

•• Music hath charms to sooth the saTage breast."

Side Item.—We congratulate our
associate, the Rev. Mr. Corwin, on having
been presented by his parishioners with a
new family carriage. However liberally
and punctually a people may pay the regular salary of their Pastor, an occasional addendum will not operate unfavorably. The
constant draft upon a minister's energies is
very great, and when his people show that
they appreciate his labors, it acts as a soothing and healthful restorative, keeping him
young and vigorous.

" The Courtship of Miles Standish."—

In our April number we published Tennyson's poem of " Enoch Arden." Many of
our readers were so much pleased with its
publication, that we have been requested to
insert occasionally other popular poems.

We commence " The Courtship of Miles
Standish." It is one of Longfellow's best.
We have no doubt its reading will beguile

Then John Alden began explaining and smoothing the matter.
Making it worse aa he went,by saying the Captain was busy—
Had no lime for such things;—such things ! the words grating
harshly

Fell ou the ear of Prucilla; and swift as a flash she made answer :

That la the way with you men; you don't understand us, you

Choosing, selecting, rejecting, comparing one with another.

Had he but waited a while, had he only showed that he loved

Even this Captain of >oum—who knows?—at last might have

Old and rough as he Is; but now it never can happen."
Still John Alden went on, unheeding the words of Prlsciila,
Urging the suit of bis friend, explaining, persuading, expanding;

Spoke of his courage and skill, and of all his battles in Flanders,
How with tbe people of flod he had chosen to suffer affliction,
How, in return for his zeal, they had made him Captain Of

He was a man ofhonor, of noble and generous nature;
Though he was rough, ho was kindly; she knew bow during

He had attended thesick with a hand aa gentle as woman's;
Somewhat hasty and hot, he could not deny it, and headstrong.
Stern as a soldiermight be, but hearty, and placable always.
Mot to be laughed at and scorned, because he was little of

stature;

For he was great of heart, magnanimous, courtly, courageous;
Any woman in Plymouth, nay any woman in England,

To be concluded next month.

Florence Nightingale —In England
scarcely less beloved and revered than the
Queen herself—was in full sympathy with
the North in the late straggle with slavery
and secession. Above all did she watch,
with the deepest interest, the efforts of
American women—efforts inspired by her
own noble example—to relieve the wants
and sufferings of the soldiers. When she
heard of the assassination of President Lincoln, she immediately addressed a letter to

Dr. Benjamin Howard, an American gentleman in London, expressing the deepest

REVIEW.
WriAT I Saw on thf. West Coabt or South and
North America, and at the Hawaiian Isiandh.
By H. Willis Baxley, M. D. New York, D.
Appleton & Co., 1865.

In reading this volume, we have been
continually reminded of the anecdote of the
Quaker and the profane youngster who

in for a generous share of his abuse.
There is a repetition in this volume of the
same old stale vituperations against Missionaries which hnve been served up in
various styles during the last forty years,
at one time by writers in the old Sandwich
Islands Gazette, at another by the journalist
of some exploring expedition, nt another by
some British reviewer, nt another by a Simpson, or a Hopkins, or a Staley, or a Haole, or
any of that class of writers who consider that
they have a special call to operate as oceu-

generally. We are bold to say no such appropriation of Missionary funds was ever
made. Hawaiians connected with churches
under American Missionaries build their
own church edifices. It has always been
so. Now, if the Protestant Christians of
Hamakua see fit to build " thirteen churches,"
with their own money, and surmount them
with belfries, and in those belfries hang
bells, we do not know what reason Dr. Bnxley or any other person in America has to

We need not, of course, inform our
Island readers that this work is written by
the daughter of Dr. Anderson, who accompanied her father during his trip over the
Islands in 1863. We have heard this book
frequently called for, and sincerely regret a
supply is not for sale at the book-store. It
is a capital book to circulate among the
young, and contains vastly more correct and
useful information than many books of
greater pretensions. One intelligent lady
seeking information about the Islands, has
been heard to say, " This is just the book to
inform one about the Islands, and tell us
what we desire to learn." We are not sure
but the best of all descriptive tourists would
be a well-educated young lady, wielding a
nimble pen and blessed with a talent for
observation. We hope future writers upon
the Islands will follow Miss Anderson's example, and describe the lighter as well as
the darker scenes of Island life.
P. S. Since writing the above, we have
met with a copy of the Hours at Home,"

It is published in London, and contains a
vast amount of valuable information. It is
very complete upon American current literature.

We have received copies of the Chicago
Tribune, a large and handsomely printed
daily, and we learn that Mr. Brewster, formerly a school-teacher in Honolulu, has become
associated with its editorial corps. After leaving Honolulu, Mr. and Mrs. Brewster made
the tour of Europe. May Mr. Brewster's career as an editor prove as successful as that of
a teacher. Not a few regretted that they did
not return and resume their vocation as
teachers in Honolulu.
"Hours at Home."—We have chanced

numbers of this new periodical, published in
New York. No. 1 was good, No. 2 better,
and No. 3 best. It is a monthly, which we
can most cordially recommend for family
reading. The articles are original, and
written by some of the most popular writers
in the United States. In one number we
met with a communication from Dr. Anderson upon Kamehameha 111. The magazine admirably combines literary taste, entertaining reading, useful information and
religious instruction.

for three dollars per week, and wishing his
money in advance, that he might get his
poetry inserted in the Kuokoa, and for which
he paid eighty-eight cents. Just think of a
poet not only not receiving anything for the
labor of his brain, but paying for its insertion ! We learn that contributions in money
for this purpose make up quite a little sum
to both of the native papers. If it was not
for this pecuniary check upon Hawaiian
genius, the poets would fill both papers.
Let no one after this say Hawaiians are deficient in a genius for writing poetry. We
have heard, too, of some who will write for
one paper, and come out abusing themselves
in the other paper the following week !

exhibit a fair record during the war. The
following relates to some sailor-prisoners
found in Camp Ford, in Texas :
" The oldest prisoners in the Confederacy
are in this camp. Their imprisonment is
now measured by years. On the 21st of
January, 1863, the officers and crew of the
Morning Light were captured ofT Sabine,
and they still remain prisoners of war. A
fatality seems to have attended all the naval
prisoners who have found their way to a
Texnn prison camp. Those of the Clifton

and Suchem, captured at Sabine Pass, September 8, 1863, also share the tame fate.
Exchange after exchange of army prisoners

tukes place, but the boon never reaches these
sailors. Soldiers have been taken from the
same camp and sent back to our lines who
have not been held as prisoners a month.
Yet the gallant tars have shown a devotion
to their flag unsurpassed, perhaps unequaled
during the war. With the feeling that they
have suffered gross injustice, with a sense of
neglect by their own Government, they have
never deseited. There have been desertions
to the enemy from this camp, but they have
not been by sailors.
An Englishman's Opinion of Negro Suffrage.

The eminent English writer upon political topics, John Stuart Mill, writes as follows to a friend in the United States:
" 1 have always been afraid of one thing
only—that you would be too gentle. I
should be sorry to see any life taken after

the war was over, (except those of the assassins,) or any evil inflicted in mere vengeance ;
but one thing I hope will be considered absolutely necessary: to break altogether the
power of the slaveholding class. Unless
this is done, the abolition of slavery will be
merely nominal. If an aristocracy of exslaveholders remain masters of the State
Legislatures, they will be able effectually to
nullify a great part of the result which has
been so dearly bought by the blood of the
Free States. They and their dependants
must be effectually outnumbered at the

polling places, which can only be effected by
the concession offull equality of a'l political
rights to negroes, and by a large immigration of settlers from the North."
This is encouragement from an unexpected
quarter. Surely, when Englishmen advocate negro suffruge, or universal suffrage,
Americans should not hesitate. This is the
most prominent question now discussed in
all the newspapers of the United States.
Only one consistent course seems now to
open, and that is to sweep from the statutebook of the National and State Governments
all class-laws, or an entire abolition of all
rights and privileges conceded to the white
population that is not conceded to the colored people. Let both hereafter stand equal
before the civil courts and at the ballotbox. Surely the loyal negroes are entitled
to equal rights with the " poor white trash,"
only half loyal, we hear and read so much
about.

C7 1We copy the following paragraph relating to the Rev. Mr. Snow, so well known
at the Islands, from a late number of the
Pacific. It will bo remembered that he was
a member of the junior class at Andover, in
1861,and volunteered as a soldier, but waa
very soon promoted to the rank of Chaplain.
He served during the "nine months" under
General Foster in North Carolina. On
leaving the Army, he came out to lhe
Islands, and returned to California, where
he has since been preaching :
Rev. W. F. Snow preached on Sunday,
the" 20th, his farewell sermons to the Congregational Church at Grass Valley, of
which he has been acting pastor for tlie past
fifteen months. At the close of the Sabbath
School exercises, the teachers nnd pupils
presented to Mr. and Mrs. Snow a pair of
silver goblets, as a parting token of affection.
Mr. Snow has been Superintendent of the
School during his ministry to the Church.
He will leave for the East on the steamer of
September 2d, and intends to complete his
course of theological study in Andover
Theological Seminary. We regret to lose
so excellent a laborer from our needy work
in this State."
" Birds, Birds, the Little Birds."—
We rejoice to learn that Dr. Hillebrand has
sent from China some birds to be let go upon
the Islands. Already seven Java sparrows,
seventeen avodevats, and five of an unknown
species, have been let loose near Mr. Montgomery's garden. Most sincerely do we
hope no mischievous boys or naughty men
will molest the little strangers. Welcome,
welcome, we say to the new-comers, and
long may they and their descendents dwell
upon the Islands.
In referring to a telegram of General
Beauregard, which recently turned up. and
in which Jeff Davis was reminded to hurry
up the order for the hanging of all the Abolition prisoners, the Times remarked that it
was difficult to believe that Beauregard
could pen such a diabolical dispatch ; whereupon Col. Julius Allen relates the following
circumstance : While in command at Savannah, Beauregard, at the close of a venomous speech against the Yankees, spoke
is follows :
" When I reach Massachusetts,
my first act shall be to blow Plymouth
Rock out of existence. That will be the
greatest and happiest moment of my life."
The Sovereigns of Europe and Their
Religion.—There are in Europe 43 reigning Sovereigns, not including those who
possess titles only. Of those 43, 9 belong
to the Roman Catholic religion, but one of
that number is excommunicated; 31 are
Protestants, 1 is of the orthodox Greek
Church, 1 a Mahonmedan, and the 43d is
the Pope. The excommunicated Sovereign
is King Victor Emmanuel. There are besides, in Europe, 7 Republics : 2 exclusively
Catholic—San Marino and Andorre—and
6 where the majority of the inhabitants are
Ptotestanti—Switzerland, Hamburg. Bre.
n»w, Frankfort and Lubeck.

We see it reported in American papers
that Mr. A. B. Lyons, of Waiinea,
Hawaii, has taken the highest honors in the

graduating class at Williams College, Massachusetts. Also, that J. E. Emerson, N.
B. Emerson and T. L. Gulick, belonging to
the Islands, have taken high honors in
the same class. It is very gratifying to sec
our Hawaiian-American young men so successfully competing with the young men of
America.

England, this year, was gained by a young
American, Francis Allsion Charming, a son
of Rev. Henry Charming, who took the

Never Sulk.—Better draw the cork of
your indignation, and let it foam and fume,
than to wire it down to turn sour and acrid
within you. Sulks nflect the liver, and are
still worse for the heart and the soul.
Wrath driven in is as dangerous to the
moral health as suppressed small-pox to the
animal system. Dissipate it by reflecting
on the mildness, humility and serenity of
better men than yourself, suffering under
greater wrongs than you have ever been
called upon to bear.
