Temperance Lecture by a Lady.—lf
we had not signed the pledge some thirty
years ago, tint! during the period which has
since elapsed experienced the good effects of
total abstinence, we think that we should
have signed on the evening of the 14th of
October, after listening to the very sensible
and judicious lecture of Mrs. A. W. Allen,
who lectured before the Dnshaways at the
Bethd Vestry. It was the first public leeture by a lady we ever heard. If woman
can arrest the drunkard in his downward
career, or persuade the young to walk the
pathway of virtue and sobriety, most surely
we bid her God-speed in her errand of mercy.
Intemperance has made woman to shed an
ocean of tears, and if now her voice can persuade the erring to reform, confirm the temperate in the right way, and send conviction
to the hearts of those whose business it is to
make drunkards, then let it be heard through
the world. Mrs. Allen, accompanied by her
husband, opened and closed the exercises by
appropriate singing. Her address was welltimed and appropriate, and delivered with
much elegance of diction and language.
Several of her illustrations were aptly and

ROBERT CRICHTON WYLLIE.
Another of the men who have carved for
themselves a place in Hawaiian history has
passed away. The name of Robebt Crichton Wyllie occupies a conspicuous place
among those who have labored to establish
the independence of tho Hawaiian Kingdom. It is with unfeigned sorrow that we
now sit down to pen a few paragraphs
respecting our departed friend. It was our
privilege to have met him on the day of his
arrival—the 3d of February, 1844—and
since that time to have enjoyed his
friendship. For eighteen years he was
a constant worshipper at the Chapel where
it has been our privilege to preach. During
that period, he was seldom, if ever, absent
from the morning service. When the Reformed Catholic Church was established in
Honolulu, he became an attendant there.
The death of His Excellency, Robert
Crichton Wyllie, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Secretary of War, occurred on
the morning of the 19th instant, at five minutes to eleven o'clock, at his residence at
Rosebank, Nuuanu Valley, Honolulu. The
public had been apprised on several occasions of late, by the newspapers, that his
health was gradually fuiling and his demise
might be daily expected. Its public announcement was accompanied by an order,
under the authority of the Minister of the
Interior, to close all Government office*.
The national flag at the fort on Punchbowl,
and at the Government offices, was lowered,
as well as the flags of the various Consulates. Many of the merchants closed their
stores, and other demonstrations of public
mourning were not omitted.
It is highly appropriate that His Majesty's Government, and the public generally,
should thus make every becoming demonstration of Tespect to the memory of the deceased, who has so long and faithfully discharged the duties of Minister of Foreign
Affairs of this Kingdom. For more than

and facing difficulties which would have Wellington, to reply to all letters. We
applied men of ordinary energy and a weak think that something beyond this was Mr.
.
Wyllie's rule. Besides carrying forward a
long and full correspondence with foreign
Governments, nnd commercial and financial
agents, he was also perpetually writing upon
subjects connected with the moral and social
condition of the Islands. At times he has
corresponded with many of the Protestant
and Catholic Missionaries. Little children
and youth very frequently were honored
with his correspondence. It was no uncommon thing with him to turn from inditing a
dispatch to penning a valentine.
We have often heard him remark that his
good old Scotch father, an elder of the Presbyterian Church, designed that he should
have become a preacher. He delighted in
theological reading and conversation. He
once showed us the original copy of a Spanish sermon, which he composed for a Catholic Priest in Mexico, and which was delivered by the same.
When Mr. Wyllie arrived at these Islands,
he was possessed of an ample fortune, having been long and successfully engaged in
financial and commercial affairs, in London,
Calcutta, United States and Mexico. He
was a native of Hazelbank, Ayrshire, Scotland, having been born October 13,1798;
hence ho was 67 years and 6 days old. In
curly life he received a good classical and
medical education, and subsequently became
acquainted with the French and Spanish
languages. The latter he wrote and spoke
with the fluency and accuracy of a native of
Spain. While some may withhold their
assent from all the political views and
opinions of the deceased, and may severely
censure some of his measures, asserting that
he was wrong and opinionated, yet it will
be readily acknowledged that a most remarkable man has passed away. Very many
looked upon him as a true and generous
friend, as well as a most laborious, faithful
and conscientious public officer. In forming
a correct estimate of Mr. Wyllie's character,
it should be remembered that, naturally conservative, he was from preference and education, an honest, and thorough-going monarchist. The principle of universal suffrage
he believed to be unsafe and wrong, even in
a Republic. Democratic opinions generally
were oposed to his views of Government.
He would honor the King, but not flatter
the people.
He once wrote us, " I am not one of
those who walk through life forgetting an
old friend at every step." This he wrote
with reference to the ingratitude which he
thought had been manifested towards a distinguished officer of the Hawaiian Government, now departed. He ever insisted that
the Government was bound to remember the
services of those who had labored in its behalf. His influence over went in the direc.
faithfully paying the annuity to Mrs.
Richards, the wife of the Rev. Mr. Richards.
We could mention otiier instances wherein
his influence has been felt for good, but v.c
are writing much more than we intended.
We are glad to learn from the Gazette, of
the 21st, that the Privy Council and the
Hawaiian Bar have shown that they appreciated the important services of the deceased.

President Lincoln on Negro Suffrage.
New York, September 25.—The Southern Advocate, of the ISth, says : The following extract, which has just been published, is from the late President Lincoln's
letter to General Wadsworth, who fell in
the battle of the Wilderness : " You desire to know, in the event of our complete
success in the field, and the same being followpd by a loyal and cheerful submission on
the part of the South, if universal amnesty
should not be accompanied with universal
suffrage. Now, since you know my private
views as to what terms should be granted to
the South in the contingency mentioned, I
will here add, if our success should thus be
realized, and followed by such desired results, 1 cannot see. if a universal amnesty is
granted, how, under the circumstances, we
can avoid exacting in return universal suffrage, or at least suffrage on the basis of intelligence and military service.

NOVEMBER, 1865.
A Tennessee Planter and a Negro
School. —The Nashville correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette says :
No man about Nashville is better known
than General Harding. His plantation is
one of the finest in Tennessee, and he went
into the rebellion with all his soul. But he
has been subdued, has taken all the oaths,
and seems disposed to observe them. He
has on his plantation one hundred and ten
negroes, the remnant of a once valuable
stock owned before the war. Yesterday
General Fisk went out to General Harding's
to talk with him and the colored people,
about a school. When the matter was first
broached, Mr. Harding expressed himself in
strong terms against it. He was " willing
to pay for the work he obtained, but a colored school he would not have on his plantation." However, a meeting was called.
General Harding introduced General Fisk,
told who he was. what was his business,
and sat down. Then the General took the
floor, and explained the views in regard to a
school. The scene just there and then
formed a spectacle worthy of the pencil of a
Raphael. There sat the ex-rebel planter
and General, and before him a congregation
of ex-slaves, whose dusky faces, when they
heard of the school, lighted up with a joy
better imagined than described. One old
gentleman broke out, " Bless dc Lord, Massa General, dat is just what we want,
exactly!"
After hearing the General, and beholding
the enthusiasm of the blacks, Mr. Harding
gracefully surrendered one. of the most wicked prejudices of the South, and agreed that
a school should be opened on his plantation,
to which he would give all possible encouragement. As soon as arrangements can be
made and a suitable teacher procured, a
school of sixty children will be opened.
General Harding pays his men eight dollars per month, his women six dollars,
clothes and feeds them, gives them the
whole ofevery Saturday to themselves, and
furnishes each one a truck-patch free. Many
of his hands, however, desire to rent lands
and manage their own affairs, so as to get
ahead in the world. When urging this
upon General Fisk's attention, one shrewd
old man said : "We will pay a good rent
and work hard. We is honest niggers and
want to deal
justly."
A Free National Museum.—The New
York Evening Post learns that Mr. P. T.
Barnum has definitely determined to begin
lo do now what he has for years intended to
do before his death—establish a free Mil
scum, on the plan of the British Museum,
the Louvre in Paris, and other governmental
institutions of a similar kind. In this institution Mr. Barnum proposes to place abundant specimens of natural history, and also
all works of art and relics of every name
and nature that may be contributed by our
Government, (by loan or otherwise,) and all
donations that may be received from everybody at home or abroad, whether Emperor,
King, Queen or peasant. In order to pay
the rent of the building containing the free
national collection, Mr. B. will erect and
carry on, entirely independent of it, a Museum on the old plan.

Newton and Voltaire.—In a tract entitled
"Astral Wonders," written by the
Rev. Mr. Craig, Vicar ofLeamington, occurs
the following interesting passage :
Let me narrate to you a passage concerning Sir Isaac Newton and Voltaire. Sir
Isaac wrote a book on the prophet Daniel,
and another on the Revelations; and he
said, in order to fulfil certain prophecies before a certain date was terminated, namely,
1260 years, there would be a certain mode
of traveling of which the men in his time
had no conception; nay, that the knowledge of mankind would be so increased that
they would be able to taavel at the rate of
fifty miles an hour. Voltaire, who did not

British Seamen.—The number of British
seamen is estimated at 375,000, exclusive
of fishermen and other amphibious races.
The seamen are divided into 70,000 belonging to the Royal Navy, for whom 155 clergymen are provided; and 306,000 belonging to the mercantile navy, for whom, until
recently, the Church made no provision
whatever. A Society maintains 13 clergymen and 19 readers for seamen. Then
there is the Thames Church Mission, and
various mariners' floating churches at seaports.

Removal of the Remains of the Kings
to the Royal Mausoleum.
The Hawaiian Government, under the
management of the Minister of the Interior,
transferred the coffins containing the mortaF
remains of the Kings and high Chiefs of
Hawaii nei from the Royal Tomb, on the
Palace Grounds, to the Royal Mausoleum,
in Nuuanu Valley, on the evening following
the funeral of Mr. Wyllie. A torchlight
procession accompanied the long train of
carriages conveying the coffins. It was a
most solemn, interesting and touching scene.
The utmost quiet pervaded the streets
of the city as the procession moved along,
escorted by a military guard, and followed
by the Royal carriage, another carriage in
which rode His Excellency, Governor Kekuanaoa.'and several other carriages. The
procession passed through the streets about
nine o'clock. The solemn stillness was
broken by the wailing of one solitary native
woman, who followed the procession. It
seemed peculiarly fitting that this national
sign of mourning should find utterance as
the mortal remains of Kings and Chiefs were
passing to their final resting place on earth.
Thinking our readers will be interested in a
few historical memoranda relating to the
Royal Family of this Kingdom, we have
gathered the following:
There were the remains of twenty different royal personages.
1. King Kamehameha 11, son of Kamehameha I, who died in England July 14,
1824, aged 27 years.
2. Queen Kamamalu, wife of the abovementioned, who also died in London, July
Sth, 1824, six days before her royal husband.
His Excellency Governor Kekuanaoa was
present, and placed in her leaden coffin two
teeth belonging to Kamehama I, thus directed by her husband. Their remains
were brought to Honolulu on board H. B.
M. ship Blonde, commanded by Lord Byron.
They were landed in Honolulu in
May, 1825, with imposing ceremonies.
3. King Kamehameha 111, who was also
a son of Kamehameha I. He was bom
March 17, 1814, and died in Honolulu Dec.
15, 1854.
4. King Kamehameha IV. His remains
were deposited in the Royal Mausoleum at
the time of his funeral, in February, 1884.
Near this coffin repose the remains of his
much-lamented son, the Prince of Hawaii,
who died in Honolulu, August, 1862, aged
4 years, 3 months and 7 days.
5. Queen Kaahumanu. She was a wife
of Kamehameha I, and was Regent during
the absence of Kamehameha II in England,
antl also during the minority of Kamehameha 111. She. died June 5, 1532.
6. Queen Kinau, or Kaahumanu 11,
daughter of Kanuhameliu I, ami wife of
Governor Kekuanaoa, father of His present
Majesty. She died April 4, 18*19.
7. Kamanele, daughter of Governor Kuakini alias Governor Adams. She was affianced to Kamehameha 111, and died aged
about 20.
8. A. Paki, a High Chief, who died June

Before us lies the second American edition of this new English Book. It is published in two neatly-bound volumes, and
printed at the Riverside Press, Cambridge,
Mass. This is a most charming book.
The writer presents a most vivid picture of
the times in which Cicero lived. Any one
who possesses the least taste for the ancient
classics and Roman literature will hail this
work as a most welcome arrival. It is a
book which will interest the general reader
as well as the classical student. It will be

An Euloot wo.v Abraham Lincoln. By Alex. H.
Bullock.
This beautiful tribute to the late Chief
Magistrate of the Unked States was delivered at the request of the City Council of
the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. For
several reasons we have read this pamphlet
with interest. First, the character, life and
death of Abraham Lincoln, are the most absorbing topics of the year 1865; second,
this address was delivered by Mr. Bullock,
an old College classmate, who graduated at
Amherst College in 1836, with the second
honors of his class, and who is now a candi-

Everett.
Should our old classmate be so fortunate
as to succeed to the Governorship of our
native State, we sincerely hope he may
truly follow in the footsteps of the illustrious
Governors of former days—the Lincoln?,
the Strongs, the Everetts. While all the
States are politically and civilly equal, yet
there is no denying that old Massachusetts
occupies a proud moral position among her
sister States. In the late struggle, how
nobly has she been represented by Senators
Sumner and Wilson in the Senate of the
United States. Massachusetts, in the language of Daniel Webster, « speaks for herself."
Sy Some one has sent us a
" specimen"
of Webster's new illustrated, royal quarto,
"
unabridged Dictionary," containing: 1840
pages, 114,000 words, and 3,000 illustrations, being the result of thirty years of literary labor of American and European
scholars spent on the revision alone. It is
published by G. and C. Merriam, of Springfield, Mass., and printed at the Riverside
Press, Cambridge. We have not only seen
this " specimen," but a single copy of the
work we have examined at Whitney's Bookstore. We can apply the language of Gen.
Jackson to this book, when he was once addressing a Western audience, and one of the
crowd called upon him to "tip" a little
Latin, when he broke forth, " Ne plus ultra,
multum in parvo, sine qua non, ultima
Thule." Al! this will apply to this Dictionary. As a Dictionary, we honestly believe

Temperance Lecture by a Lady.—lf
we had not signed the pledge some thirty
years ago, tint! during the period which has
since elapsed experienced the good effects of
total abstinence, we think that we should
have signed on the evening of the 14th of
October, after listening to the very sensible
and judicious lecture of Mrs. A. W. Allen,
who lectured before the Dnshaways at the
Bethd Vestry. It was the first public leeture by a lady we ever heard. If woman
can arrest the drunkard in his downward
career, or persuade the young to walk the
pathway of virtue and sobriety, most surely
we bid her God-speed in her errand of mercy.
Intemperance has made woman to shed an
ocean of tears, and if now her voice can persuade the erring to reform, confirm the temperate in the right way, and send conviction
to the hearts of those whose business it is to
make drunkards, then let it be heard through
the world. Mrs. Allen, accompanied by her
husband, opened and closed the exercises by
appropriate singing. Her address was welltimed and appropriate, and delivered with
much elegance of diction and language.
Several of her illustrations were aptly and

ROBERT CRICHTON WYLLIE.
Another of the men who have carved for
themselves a place in Hawaiian history has
passed away. The name of Robebt Crichton Wyllie occupies a conspicuous place
among those who have labored to establish
the independence of tho Hawaiian Kingdom. It is with unfeigned sorrow that we
now sit down to pen a few paragraphs
respecting our departed friend. It was our
privilege to have met him on the day of his
arrival—the 3d of February, 1844—and
since that time to have enjoyed his
friendship. For eighteen years he was
a constant worshipper at the Chapel where
it has been our privilege to preach. During
that period, he was seldom, if ever, absent
from the morning service. When the Reformed Catholic Church was established in
Honolulu, he became an attendant there.
The death of His Excellency, Robert
Crichton Wyllie, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and Secretary of War, occurred on
the morning of the 19th instant, at five minutes to eleven o'clock, at his residence at
Rosebank, Nuuanu Valley, Honolulu. The
public had been apprised on several occasions of late, by the newspapers, that his
health was gradually fuiling and his demise
might be daily expected. Its public announcement was accompanied by an order,
under the authority of the Minister of the
Interior, to close all Government office*.
The national flag at the fort on Punchbowl,
and at the Government offices, was lowered,
as well as the flags of the various Consulates. Many of the merchants closed their
stores, and other demonstrations of public
mourning were not omitted.
It is highly appropriate that His Majesty's Government, and the public generally,
should thus make every becoming demonstration of Tespect to the memory of the deceased, who has so long and faithfully discharged the duties of Minister of Foreign
Affairs of this Kingdom. For more than

they labored, but under discouragements, said to have been a rule of the Duke of
and facing difficulties which would have Wellington, to reply to all letters. We
applied men of ordinary energy and a weak think that something beyond this was Mr.
.
Wyllie's rule. Besides carrying forward a
long and full correspondence with foreign
Governments, nnd commercial and financial
agents, he was also perpetually writing upon
subjects connected with the moral and social
condition of the Islands. At times he has
corresponded with many of the Protestant
and Catholic Missionaries. Little children
and youth very frequently were honored
with his correspondence. It was no uncommon thing with him to turn from inditing a
dispatch to penning a valentine.
We have often heard him remark that his
good old Scotch father, an elder of the Presbyterian Church, designed that he should
have become a preacher. He delighted in
theological reading and conversation. He
once showed us the original copy of a Spanish sermon, which he composed for a Catholic Priest in Mexico, and which was delivered by the same.
When Mr. Wyllie arrived at these Islands,
he was possessed of an ample fortune, having been long and successfully engaged in
financial and commercial affairs, in London,
Calcutta, United States and Mexico. He
was a native of Hazelbank, Ayrshire, Scotland, having been born October 13,1798;
hence ho was 67 years and 6 days old. In
curly life he received a good classical and
medical education, and subsequently became
acquainted with the French and Spanish
languages. The latter he wrote and spoke
with the fluency and accuracy of a native of
Spain. While some may withhold their
assent from all the political views and
opinions of the deceased, and may severely
censure some of his measures, asserting that
he was wrong and opinionated, yet it will
be readily acknowledged that a most remarkable man has passed away. Very many
looked upon him as a true and generous
friend, as well as a most laborious, faithful
and conscientious public officer. In forming
a correct estimate of Mr. Wyllie's character,
it should be remembered that, naturally conservative, he was from preference and education, an honest, and thorough-going monarchist. The principle of universal suffrage
he believed to be unsafe and wrong, even in
a Republic. Democratic opinions generally
were oposed to his views of Government.
He would honor the King, but not flatter
the people.
He once wrote us, " I am not one of
those who walk through life forgetting an
old friend at every step." This he wrote
with reference to the ingratitude which he
thought had been manifested towards a distinguished officer of the Hawaiian Government, now departed. He ever insisted that
the Government was bound to remember the
services of those who had labored in its behalf. His influence over went in the direc.
faithfully paying the annuity to Mrs.
Richards, the wife of the Rev. Mr. Richards.
We could mention otiier instances wherein
his influence has been felt for good, but v.c
are writing much more than we intended.
We are glad to learn from the Gazette, of
the 21st, that the Privy Council and the
Hawaiian Bar have shown that they appreciated the important services of the deceased.

when we go to Mr. Whitney's book-store

President Lincoln on Negro Suffrage.
New York, September 25.—The Southern Advocate, of the ISth, says : The following extract, which has just been published, is from the late President Lincoln's
letter to General Wadsworth, who fell in
the battle of the Wilderness : " You desire to know, in the event of our complete
success in the field, and the same being followpd by a loyal and cheerful submission on
the part of the South, if universal amnesty
should not be accompanied with universal
suffrage. Now, since you know my private
views as to what terms should be granted to
the South in the contingency mentioned, I
will here add, if our success should thus be
realized, and followed by such desired results, 1 cannot see. if a universal amnesty is
granted, how, under the circumstances, we
can avoid exacting in return universal suffrage, or at least suffrage on the basis of intelligence and military service.
How to
better the condition of the colored race has
long been a study which has attracted my
serious and careful attention. I am clear
and decided ns to what course I shall pursue
in the premises, regarding it as a religious
duty that the nation shall be the guardian
of these people, who have so heroically vindicated their manhood on the battle-field,
where, in assisting to save the Republic,
they have demonstrated in blood their right
to the ballot, which is but a humane protection of the flag they have so fearlessly de-
fended."

NOVEMBER, 1865.
A Tennessee Planter and a Negro
School. —The Nashville correspondent of
the Cincinnati Gazette says :
No man about Nashville is better known
than General Harding. His plantation is
one of the finest in Tennessee, and he went
into the rebellion with all his soul. But he
has been subdued, has taken all the oaths,
and seems disposed to observe them. He
has on his plantation one hundred and ten
negroes, the remnant of a once valuable
stock owned before the war. Yesterday
General Fisk went out to General Harding's
to talk with him and the colored people,
about a school. When the matter was first
broached, Mr. Harding expressed himself in
strong terms against it. He was " willing
to pay for the work he obtained, but a colored school he would not have on his plantation." However, a meeting was called.
General Harding introduced General Fisk,
told who he was. what was his business,
and sat down. Then the General took the
floor, and explained the views in regard to a
school. The scene just there and then
formed a spectacle worthy of the pencil of a
Raphael. There sat the ex-rebel planter
and General, and before him a congregation
of ex-slaves, whose dusky faces, when they
heard of the school, lighted up with a joy
better imagined than described. One old
gentleman broke out, " Bless dc Lord, Massa General, dat is just what we want,
exactly!"
After hearing the General, and beholding
the enthusiasm of the blacks, Mr. Harding
gracefully surrendered one. of the most wicked prejudices of the South, and agreed that
a school should be opened on his plantation,
to which he would give all possible encouragement. As soon as arrangements can be
made and a suitable teacher procured, a
school of sixty children will be opened.
General Harding pays his men eight dollars per month, his women six dollars,
clothes and feeds them, gives them the
whole ofevery Saturday to themselves, and
furnishes each one a truck-patch free. Many
of his hands, however, desire to rent lands
and manage their own affairs, so as to get
ahead in the world. When urging this
upon General Fisk's attention, one shrewd
old man said : "We will pay a good rent
and work hard. We is honest niggers and
want to deal
justly."
A Free National Museum.—The New
York Evening Post learns that Mr. P. T.
Barnum has definitely determined to begin
lo do now what he has for years intended to
do before his death—establish a free Mil
scum, on the plan of the British Museum,
the Louvre in Paris, and other governmental
institutions of a similar kind. In this institution Mr. Barnum proposes to place abundant specimens of natural history, and also
all works of art and relics of every name
and nature that may be contributed by our
Government, (by loan or otherwise,) and all
donations that may be received from everybody at home or abroad, whether Emperor,
King, Queen or peasant. In order to pay
the rent of the building containing the free
national collection, Mr. B. will erect and
carry on, entirely independent of it, a Museum on the old plan.

Newton and Voltaire.—In a tract entitled
"Astral Wonders," written by the
Rev. Mr. Craig, Vicar ofLeamington, occurs
the following interesting passage :
Let me narrate to you a passage concerning Sir Isaac Newton and Voltaire. Sir
Isaac wrote a book on the prophet Daniel,
and another on the Revelations; and he
said, in order to fulfil certain prophecies before a certain date was terminated, namely,
1260 years, there would be a certain mode
of traveling of which the men in his time
had no conception; nay, that the knowledge of mankind would be so increased that
they would be able to taavel at the rate of
fifty miles an hour. Voltaire, who did not
believe in the Holy Scriptures, got hold of

mind of Newton, who discovered gravity,
and told us such marvels for us all to admire.
When he became an old man, and got into
his dotage, he began to study that book
called the Bible ; and it appears that, in
order to credit its fabulous nonsense, we
must believe that mankind's knowledge will
be so increased that we shall be able to

Voltaire, in the self-complacency of his pity.
But who is the dotard now ?

British Seamen.—The number of British
seamen is estimated at 375,000, exclusive
of fishermen and other amphibious races.
The seamen are divided into 70,000 belonging to the Royal Navy, for whom 155 clergymen are provided; and 306,000 belonging to the mercantile navy, for whom, until
recently, the Church made no provision
whatever. A Society maintains 13 clergymen and 19 readers for seamen. Then
there is the Thames Church Mission, and
various mariners' floating churches at seaports.

Removal of the Remains of the Kings
to the Royal Mausoleum.
The Hawaiian Government, under the
management of the Minister of the Interior,
transferred the coffins containing the mortaF
remains of the Kings and high Chiefs of
Hawaii nei from the Royal Tomb, on the
Palace Grounds, to the Royal Mausoleum,
in Nuuanu Valley, on the evening following
the funeral of Mr. Wyllie. A torchlight
procession accompanied the long train of
carriages conveying the coffins. It was a
most solemn, interesting and touching scene.
The utmost quiet pervaded the streets
of the city as the procession moved along,
escorted by a military guard, and followed
by the Royal carriage, another carriage in
which rode His Excellency, Governor Kekuanaoa.'and several other carriages. The
procession passed through the streets about
nine o'clock. The solemn stillness was
broken by the wailing of one solitary native
woman, who followed the procession. It
seemed peculiarly fitting that this national
sign of mourning should find utterance as
the mortal remains of Kings and Chiefs were
passing to their final resting place on earth.
Thinking our readers will be interested in a
few historical memoranda relating to the
Royal Family of this Kingdom, we have
gathered the following:
There were the remains of twenty different royal personages.
1. King Kamehameha 11, son of Kamehameha I, who died in England July 14,
1824, aged 27 years.
2. Queen Kamamalu, wife of the abovementioned, who also died in London, July
Sth, 1824, six days before her royal husband.
His Excellency Governor Kekuanaoa was
present, and placed in her leaden coffin two
teeth belonging to Kamehama I, thus directed by her husband. Their remains
were brought to Honolulu on board H. B.
M. ship Blonde, commanded by Lord Byron.
They were landed in Honolulu in
May, 1825, with imposing ceremonies.
3. King Kamehameha 111, who was also
a son of Kamehameha I. He was bom
March 17, 1814, and died in Honolulu Dec.
15, 1854.
4. King Kamehameha IV. His remains
were deposited in the Royal Mausoleum at
the time of his funeral, in February, 1884.
Near this coffin repose the remains of his
much-lamented son, the Prince of Hawaii,
who died in Honolulu, August, 1862, aged
4 years, 3 months and 7 days.
5. Queen Kaahumanu. She was a wife
of Kamehameha I, and was Regent during
the absence of Kamehameha II in England,
antl also during the minority of Kamehameha 111. She. died June 5, 1532.
6. Queen Kinau, or Kaahumanu 11,
daughter of Kanuhameliu I, ami wife of
Governor Kekuanaoa, father of His present
Majesty. She died April 4, 18*19.
7. Kamanele, daughter of Governor Kuakini alias Governor Adams. She was affianced to Kamehameha 111, and died aged
about 20.

Happy husband and wife, and friends conversing together.
Pleasantly murmured the brook, as they crossed the ford Iv the

Pleased with the image that passed, like a dream of love
through its bosom,
Tremulous, floating in air, o'er the depths of the azure abysses
Down through tho golden leaves the' sun was pouring his

Gleaming on purple gra|*s, that, from branches above them

Mingled their odorous breath with the balm of the pine aud

Wild and tweet as the clusters that grew in tho valley of

Like a picture it teemed of the primitive, pastoral ages,
Fresh u th the youth of the world, aud recalling Rebecca and

Love Immortal and young in the endless succession of lovers.
So through the Plymouth woods passed ouward the bridal procession.

election cast 4,900,505 votes. In 1860, the
same States cast 3,868,616, being an increase of 131.859, notwithstanding all tho
drain of the war. But more wonderful still
is the fact that, while the whole vote of the
States, North and South, amounted in 1860
to 4,680,193, the loyal States alone, in 1864,
have cast as many within 680,000, or less

An Euloot wo.v Abraham Lincoln. By Alex. H.
Bullock.
This beautiful tribute to the late Chief
Magistrate of the Unked States was delivered at the request of the City Council of
the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. For
several reasons we have read this pamphlet
with interest. First, the character, life and
death of Abraham Lincoln, are the most absorbing topics of the year 1865; second,
this address was delivered by Mr. Bullock,
an old College classmate, who graduated at
Amherst College in 1836, with the second
honors of his class, and who is now a candi-

work.
Everett.
Should our old classmate be so fortunate
as to succeed to the Governorship of our
native State, we sincerely hope he may
truly follow in the footsteps of the illustrious
Governors of former days—the Lincoln?,
the Strongs, the Everetts. While all the
States are politically and civilly equal, yet
there is no denying that old Massachusetts
occupies a proud moral position among her
sister States. In the late struggle, how
nobly has she been represented by Senators
Sumner and Wilson in the Senate of the
United States. Massachusetts, in the language of Daniel Webster, « speaks for herself."
Sy Some one has sent us a
" specimen"
of Webster's new illustrated, royal quarto,
"
unabridged Dictionary," containing: 1840
pages, 114,000 words, and 3,000 illustrations, being the result of thirty years of literary labor of American and European
scholars spent on the revision alone. It is
published by G. and C. Merriam, of Springfield, Mass., and printed at the Riverside
Press, Cambridge. We have not only seen
this " specimen," but a single copy of the
work we have examined at Whitney's Bookstore. We can apply the language of Gen.
Jackson to this book, when he was once addressing a Western audience, and one of the
crowd called upon him to "tip" a little
Latin, when he broke forth, " Ne plus ultra,
multum in parvo, sine qua non, ultima
Thule." Al! this will apply to this Dictionary. As a Dictionary, we honestly believe
