Profanity in Type.

It is bad enough to hear words of profanity drop from the lips of excited, thoughtless
and wicked men who have not the fear of
God before their minds, but positively inexcusable and indecent for editors and magazine writers to cover over their pages with
profane words or expressions, although they
may be included within quotation marks.
Some California papers are highly culpable
upon this point, but when the " Atlantic
Monthly " allows low and profane expressions to disfigure its pages, it certainly forfeits the title of " immaculate " given to it by
Hawthorne. Suppose Thackeray and other
writers in their private correspondence with
the editor of that magazine, so far forgot
themselves as to write words of profanity,
we hardly think the writer of the series of
articles entitled " Whispering Gallery," is
justified in putting their profanity in type.
If it is wrong to use one profane word, how
much more so to multiply it ten thousand
times by printing and re-printing it ?
from the Marquesas.— By the rethe American whaleship Concordia,
Capt. Jones, which took the Rev. S. Kauwealoha to the Marquesas last fall, recent news
has been received. The long and severe
drought has made food scarce upon the islands—breadfruit especially. Nothing of special interest to report. Mr. Keiwi was very
low with sickness on the island of Fatuhiva.
Oap't. Jones supplied the missionaries with
stores for their present necessities. The missionaries write in appreciation of Capt. Jones'
kindness.

On the 13th of April, W. C. Jones, Esq.,
American origin
of the Hawaiian people. He took the ground
that the Malayan origin ol this people could
not be established by reason and fact, but
that they must have come hither from the
American coast. This idea he endeavored
to prove by the natural course of winds and
currents, by.laoguagc and the habits of the
people. While we are not quite prepared to
accede to this new theory, we confess there
is one strong argument against the old Malayan theory, which Mr. Jones urged with
much force, i.e., the winds and currents.
The lecturer also endeavored to sustain the
proposition that the Hawaiian* are the tppical
people of Polynesia, and other groups of islands have been peopled from this group.
There was so much that was really new and
interesting in the theory of Mr. Jones, that
we sincerely hope the lecture may be published. It will be eagerly perused by that
large and increasing class of readers who are
interested in tracing the migration and origin
of nations.

results of that expedition are embodied in a

to the edition published in 1853,and now

awakened by these investigations grew the
Palestine Exploration Fund, with the institution of which our readers have already
been made familiar, and now for more than
six years the new work of exploration which
that Fund enabled, has been in progress,
under the direction eft" Captains Wilson and
Warren, R. £. The statement of the present results of their labors forms the most interesting volume whose title stands at the
head of this notice. If the actual discoveries so far nidde are not of the highest importance, certain clues have been gained
which may lead to greater things hereafter,
und a stimulus has been imparted to effort
in this direction which must be widely felt.
Already a movement has been made in this
country, looking to similar explorations in
the lands lying east of the Jordan. The
narratives embodied in 'The Recovery of
Jerusalem ' are exceedingly minute, and are
amply illustrated by maps and engravings.
The information here gathered cannot fail to
prove attractive to all antiquarians, but will
have an especial fascination for students of
the Bible and of the long history for which
Jerusalem furnishes a centre. Reference has
already been nude to the drouth in 1864
which gave occasion for the present series of
explorations. In this connection we make
the following extract:
" The principal dependence of the inhabitants is on the cisterns, which receive the
rain collected on the roofs and terraces of
their houses. Those cisterns which have
lately been built by Europeans in convents
and dwelling-houses, are good, and, being
carefully cleaned out once a year, always
keep the water sweet, but it is far otherwise
in the native houses. When rain commences
to fall, every effort is made to collect as much
as possible; all the channels are thrown
open, and through these the summer's accumulation of rubbish is carried into the cisterns below; water is even collected from
the streets, and the state they are in at the
end of the dry season is almost too filthy for
description. During early summer little evil
arises from using the water of these cisterns,
the heavier particles settling to the bottom;
toward autumn, however, the water gets low,
the buckets in descending stir up the deposit,
and the mixture which thousands then have
to use as their daily beverage, is too horrible
to think of. It is at this time that a miasma
appears to rise from the refuse, and that the
fever season commences. It is difficult to
obtain statististical information in Jerusalem,
but one fact alone will show the unhealthy
nature of the city: the Jewish population is
estimated at about 9,000, yet in twelve
months, more than 13,000 cases of sickness
were attended to in their own hospital and
that of the Protestant Mission. Much relief
might be obtained by the adoption of a few
simple sanitary precautions; every cistern
should be well cleaned once a year and the
refuse removed to a distance, instead of being
thrown in front of the door to be carried back
to the cistern by the first shower. The roofs
and terraces of the houses should be well
swept, and the water from them made to
pass through wire gauze or some simple filtering apparatus, before entering the cistern."

was estranged from her father. Edward Mott
Robinson died worth nearly six millions, all
of which his daughter inherited. Sylvia Ann
Howland, the aunt, was an old and feeble
woman, childless, of simple habits, and living
a retired life. She died some time after
Hetty's father, " worth," as the phrase is,
over two millions. Hetty Robinson was her
chief companion in her later years; and
when the old lady died, a will was found
dated in 1863, giving about half of her estate in charity, and the income of the remainder to her niece. Hereupon Hetty Robinson produced another will, which gave her
the whole estate; and asserted her claims
before the courts of law. Her story was that
she and the old lady, her aunt, had exchanged
wills, each agreeing to bequeath to the other
all her property; that this was done before
the death of Mott Robinson, at the instance
of the old lady, who did not like Hetty's
father; and that it was a condition of this
exchange of wills, that neither snould alter
ihe testamentary disposition without notice
to the other. Now the opponents of Hetty
Robinson's claims, disputed the genuineness
of one of the signatures in this will—that on
the "second page," which was in fact a fly
leaf. It is an ugly word, but the fact is,
they charged that Sylva Ann Howland's
signature on the two copies produced of this
" second page," were forged. And it is here
that we meet with the astonishing contradiction, on which we remarked above.

John E. Williams, president of the Metropolitan Bank; Joseph E. Paine of Brooklyn,
thirty years an accountant; George Phippen,
Jr., of Boston, a bank teller ; Solomon Lincoln, cashier and president of a bank ; Chas.
A. Putnam, broker and banker, of Boston ;
William F. Davis, of Boston, formerly bank

clerk, and for twenty years a studentof handwriting ; Lemuel Gulliver, a bank cashier,
and others, tesified that the signatures were
undoubtedly forged. George N. Comer, president of the commercial college in Boston, an
expert in handwriting, declared that both the
signatures to the second page," were forgeries, and that one was done by placing
pnper over a genuine signature and making

preme Judicial Court; Francis W. Palfrey,

and Joseph B. Spear, a copyist, former clerk
to Governor Andrew. These signatures all
show a remarkable uniformity, and in some
of them the covering appears us remarkable

as in those of the case at bar."
But this is not all; Sylvia Ann Howland's
own signatures to bills of lading were tested,
and, it is asserted, in some instances found
to match as closely as the disputed signatures. What shall we say then to Professor
Peirce, with his mathematical calculation of

probabilities.

Other experts, George H. Morse,engraver,
T. C. Mullin, writing-master, Joseph A. Willard, clerk of the Superior Court, C. French,
principal of a commercial college, and John
A. Lowell, engraver, all believe the signatures genuine. George Kye, draughtsman,
experienced in tracing, found no evidence of
tracing; George Mathiot of the Coast Survey Office, believes that no one but a practiced expert could have made a tracing which
should be so well done, and holds, therefore,
that the signatures are genuine. Finally to
