The Legislature was prorogued by Royal
Commission Saturday Aug. 14. .It was
thought that thus there had ceased to be
any opportunity afforded for the evil thst
may be wrought by reckless and ridiculous
legislntion. There was hardly time for
any feeling ofrelief in this thought, when a
new turn of affairs disclosed a new danger.
In a very few hours the news spread that
the King had dismissed the Ministry without a moment's notice. This action was
taken, as was supposed, at the instance of a
notorious foreign political adventurer, who
received the appointment of Minister of Foreign Relations. It was an action, on the
face of it, in direct contravention of the spirit
and object of the Constitution of this Kingdom. The old Ministry had given general
satisfaction, and had been sustained by the
expressed approval of a large majority of the
Legislature. A crowded and orderly mass
meeting assembled at Kautnakapili Church
on Monday evening, August 16th, and by a
vote of 1,500 to 26 appointed a Committee
to represent to the King the sure and sad
result of any unconstitutional and unpatriotic action Th 4! Committee was refused
access to the Palace. Only at the demand
of the foreign Diplomatic/Corps, headed by
Gen. Comly, the United States Minister
Resident, was the appointment of Moreno
revoked, It is said that bis intimacy at tbe
Palace and his interference in public affairs
has not ceased. The new Cabinet is composed of men, not only without such experience in. public affairs as to secure for them
the confidence of the community, but rather
conspicuous for such unfitness as to give occasion for a general feeling of distrust and
insecurity.

wilfulness, or shall the eternal and irreversible principles of truth and justice be maintained in their ascendency here ? There
never was a better opportunity than now, for
the establishment of a healthful public sentiment on political affairs in this Kingdom.
There never was such general agreement in
condemnation of arbitrary and unreasonable
measures. There never Was such readiness
as now, for united action on the only proper
basis, like convictions of duty and expediency. Let the friends of constitutional government, righteously administered, set forth
in connection with some platform of political
principles, what they consider to be the special objects desirable in political administration at the present time. Let them rally for
the maintenance of these principles and objects from Hawaii to Niihau, both the native
born and foreign born. Let the measures
be adopted here by which political parties in
other lands seek to attain their ends, personal
influence, local associations, money contributions, printed documents, public meetings.
Agitate, agitate till a healthful public sentiment is aroused, informed and inspired.
With the rallying cry " Ka Pono no ko Hawaii Ponoi," " Honor and Happiness for all
honest Hawaiians," why should not the
friends of Hawaiian nationality successfully
contend for the maintenance and the progress of free institutions in Hawaii nei.
Punahou School will re-open on the

out of town.
London is a city which would, in a certain sense, answer to that somewhat Hibernian compliment, as being " a nice place to
live out of." For interesting: as it is, and
fascinating as is its multitudinous life, and
instructive and profitable as are days spent
amid the treasures ot the British Museum,
or the beauties of the Art Galleries, one
finds an almost greater pleasure in its environs, and the many delightful spots which lie
near at hand, but outside of the bustle and
roar of the great thoroughfares. Windsor
Castle is, counting miles, not so very near
the city, but the train takes you down so
swifty, and through such a loveljj country
that you have scarcely more than realized
you have left the city, before you see the
Royal Standard floating above the gray
towers of the Castle. If you want a glorious view, mount up the many stairs of the
great round tower, and drink in that superb
view of forest land and winding river, and
village dotted plain and garden-like beauty
spread out before you. The Castle is most
imposing—a city in itself, and a fitting home
for the good Queen of so great a people.
And more beautiful than almost anything 1
ever saw before, or hope to see again, is the
glorious avenue of giant trees stretching
away, away into the misty distance, some
three miles or so, this via triumphalis ot
royalty. We did not seethe Queen, this we
had scarcely anticipated, but we found ample
compensation in the cordial welcome from
friends, in one of tbe pleasant homes of the
old tower of Windsor, who bear in common
with us the old family name, and who, here
on English soil, in the " Old Home," greeted those returning from the other side of the
world, after two centuries and more of absence. One of the name is a Master at
Eton, famous for its school, lying near by,
and we had a most interesting opportunity
of seeing this great and historic institution.
Should you find time to wander farther on,
you would come to the "ivy mantled tower"
of which Grey so exquisitely sings in his
plaintive " Elegy." And 1 would advise
you to go to charming Richmond. But of
all places do not fail to see Hampton Court
with its treasures of Art, and its perfect
grounds, and near at hand Bushey Park.

It sounded simple enough

THE
The direction
which was g;ven u-j. by our friend, whose
house we were leaving, to find the home of
a lady whom we had come out to Hampstead Heath to see. Had we not however
found a rosy faced English maid, to serve as
our Ariadne, I am quite afraid we should
never have made our way through the labyrinth of country lanes and hedges, with
their windings and turns innumerable. After
London, there was something indescribably
plensar.t in this glorious wealth of spring
verdure, which bordered our way and
wrought itself into a leafy canopy above our
heads, through which the afternoon's sunshine fell in softened radiance about us. I
remember we came in our walk upon a quiet
burying .ground, with ancient stones, and
in the center of this a square and rather
angular looking church, which the ivy, clinging like a vestment, strove not wholly in
vain, to beautify. You might have thought
yourself hundreds of miles sway from the
great city, so peaceful and still was everything. Then, after other wanderings and a
superb avenue of tress bordering our way
like a guard of honor, in their finest array,
we came to a charming little country house,
with a glorious view over the heath. We
were amply repaid for our walk by the kindly
smile and cordial greeting which were here
awaiting us, and for which it were worth
the while to come much further.
The literature which has arisen in reference to that remarkable period called in History, the Reformation of Germany, with
which is so inseparately connected the name
of that heroic man. Dr. Martin Luther,
forms a fine library in itself. It is one of
those fertile themes, which seem almost exhaustless in their resources, and which find
in every succeeding generation new investigators and chroniclers, still voluminous as
are all these writings in various languages.
I think I am quite right in saying that it
was left to an English lady of our own day,
to tell the grand and glowing story of the
intrepid Reformer's life, to the young people of England and America. This is very
much to say, but I am sure all those who
know ol the wide and continued success of
that most delightful of books " Chronicles of
the
" Schfimberg Cotta Family," will
most
heartily agree with me. It is because I feel
that iv authoress, Mrs. Charles, (ip that
the horizon is '• Harrow on the Hill," one of
the famous schools for English boys, its
spire just visible. Within 1 am sure you
would be charmed with our hostess, a lady
in middle life, with an earnest face, a voice
nnd manner wholly and most agreeably
quiet and moderate, and something in her
way of speaking on many varied subjects
which suggests the power which is iw>nifest
in her writings. 1 know of no one who
would shrink more than she from sitting for
a newspaper photograph, and yet I have felt
drawn almost unconsciously into giving it,
by the thought of the sympathetic recipients
of the same. Mrs. Charles lives in this delightful home, on the verdant edge of the
mighty city, with her mother, a sweet and
gentle lady, surrounded by her books, her
flowers and those thousand attractions which
moke English ' interiors" the most beautiful in the world- I have mentioned the
*■
Schomberg Cotta Family," because of its
being the book by which"Mrs. Charles is the
best known with us, at least. One must
really know Germany to appreciate it fully.
I have a copy of it now, which 1 used once
as a sort of delightful guide book in my
rambles amid scenes which the name of
Martin Luther had made famous. I know
of no English book which seems so filled
with the sweet, natural grace of German
life and character, and the style is so true
that you might indeed believe it to be a
translation from some old German chronicle.
There is a sort of delicious fragrance about
the book, which comes to me like the scent
of pines from the grand old Thurnigian
forest.
But besides this, you know Mrs. Charles
has written many books, the titles and contents of which you are as familiar with as I
am myself.
Then she has written some most beautiful poems and has written with equal grace
of the hymns which have grown dear to the
Christian Church. She has dipped into almost every period of Christian History and
found herself at home in all. Few have
such a power of vivifying the past as she.
And then it is not alone as the painter of
history that we should prize her, but as the
earnest faithful Christian woman and authoress, who holds her pen as a consecrated
instrument for the great and glorious Cause,
which our Lord has left to His followers to
carry forward.
We had the pleasure of a delightful stroll

with her off on the Heath, where about
us the furze was crowning itself with long
golden sprays. It was. one of the fairest
days of the early summer, and the whole
world was in its beauty. The view of
London from this point was wondrously
fine. We snw it lying partly in sunshine,
and partly in shade, with its thousand spires
and domes rising out nl a sea of mist. And
now in parting, I am sure I am but putting
into words, the desires of many beside myself, when I wish all joy and gladness and
blessing for our friends at Hampstead Heath.
OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE.
Mere existence at either Oxford or Cambridge must in itself be a sort of education. By a species of spiritual absorption
the most inert mind must needs receive, to a
certain degree, the beautifying and elevating
culture which the historic and scholastic
atmosphere of these venerable seats of learning seems so peculiarly adapted to convey.
Leaving them this lower type of inspiration
and passing to the sphere, where it is to be
hoped most men are to be found, that of the
wors-ers and not the drones, it will be readily perceived how grand an influence these
institutions by their very presence, are capab'e of exerting upon all earnest men.
There are those who can do the better work
with the tones of sweet music coming to
them, forming as it were a rhymic and
me.odious accompaniment to their thoughts.
And 1 could fancy in a somewhat similnr
way, it might be possible for many men to
be here stimulated to loftier thought and
more poetic utterance, by the subtle power
which antiquity, added to beauty of material
form, seems to possess. In all the world
Oxford and Cambridge are unique. You
will find nothing on the continent to compare with them, and in the New World, of
course, comparisons cannot for centuries be
sought. You will notice that I am saying
nothing in reference to the standard of education, or of the training which in the past
these universities have offered or have still
to offer. But that I am alluding solely to
their mere shell, as it were the outside
covering and adornment, which joined to a
thousand classic and historic memories and
associations, impresses all who are privileged to come to visit them.
It would be difficult to say which were
the more beautiful, Oxford or Cambridge.
There are certain essential points of resemblance and yet each possesses a marked individuality. Cambridge University has the
advantage of being in a far smaller town,
and in a town where quaint architecture and
peaceful streets seem in harmony with the
colleges. While Oxford University on the
other hand suffers by its nearness to a large
and uninteresting town, which presses and
crowds upon the grey and ancient buildings
in a way which is far from pleasing. Still
these are lesser matters. They are both, as
seats of learning, now dignified and crowned
bycenturies, beautified and enriched by refined taste and wealth, eloquent with a long
and worthy past, singularly attractive. 1
chanced to be at Cambridge during the
Faster holidays, and found it given over to
the unbroken silence of vacation. You
might have thought it a city of the dead,
but for the occasional passing of some student
in cap and gown, whom necessity or incline-
tion had led to remain here during this
holiday season. In thinking of either Oxford or Cambridge, you must dismiss all
ideas of one building, or of a few grouping
about a central and main edifice. They
are as it were cities of colleges, each of
these a little world in itself. In Cambridge
I felt this especially, because the colleges
were separated at times by such extensive
open spaces, you felt as it were in passing
under the gateway, like entering a feudal
castle, where the inmates acknowledged only
their chieftain as ruler, lean through no
words of description convey to you an adequate and correct idea of the rare and peculiar beauty of Cambridge. How I wish it
were in my power to do so. You pass beneath massive and imposing arches, b-nring
the date of centuries long departed, and the
coats of arms of sovereigns, who have
yielded their crowns to others, and these in
turn to others, and into wide and carefully
kept quadrangles, where in the entrance of
encircling walls the smoothest of turf gleams
like a huge emerald in a setting of stone.
About you are grey and time stained buildings, which for ages have been the homes of
the very flower of England's youth. You
wonder, entering at the superb Gothic Halls,
with their dark rich carvings, drooping banners and armorial adornments, at the
chapels, gems of architectural beauty, dim
with the religious light which streams
through jewelled windows ; at the elegance,
the luxury, the magnificence which surround you, and you say "These are the
palaces of princes." Or again, without, you
catch the gleam of a peaceful river, flowing
between verdant banks, mirroring ancient
and majestic trees, and bearing upon its
bossom white and stately swans; or you
gaze with delight at some antique arch,
crumbling with age and festooned with ivy,
or higher up at the picturesque beauty of
some mullioned window, upon whose ledge
a row of flowers gleam like crimson flame,
or you trace the leafy scroll-work of some
graceful stone carving, out lined against the
warm rich blue of the April sky and you ex
claim with enthusiasm, while the- soft
chimes of chapel bells deepen your delight,
Here must indeed be the homes and
"haunts
of artists and poets."
There are at Cambridge seventeen colleges
and four halls As a University it has
always held a high position and numbers
among its alumni, some of the most noted
names in English letters nnd statesmanship.
Especial attention is here paid to mathematical study, while nt Oxford tbe highest
honors are generally obtained by those who
have devoted themselves to classical studies.
Few views are more impressive than that
with which you are favored from one of the
many towers in Oxford. Beneath you lie a
city of scholastic buildings, varied by verdant courts and lovely promenades. And if
you are delighted by this birds-eye view
from above, your enthusiasm is increased
tenfold as you walk through the college
grounds and under the shadows of these
mediaeval walls. The names of the colleges
are known the world over, Christ Church,
Baliol, Magdalen, Trinity, Corpus Christi,
Oriel, and many more. Among the most
interesting places to visit, is the Bodbian
Library, founded in the 16th century and
SEPTEMBER.
one of the finest libraries in the world. A
monument on one of the principal avenues,
marks the spot where Ridley, Latimer and
Cranmer, found a martyr's glorious death in
the midst of persecuting flames. If we
found Cambridge deserted, we found Oxford populous with students. It was at the
height of the examination period, and young
Oxford was in a state of suspense and excitement. The week following, the various
exercises connected with commemoration
were to take pluce. We owed much of the
pleasure of our visit to the courteous and
kindly attention of a fellow of Merton
College, who guided us most skilfully and
satisfactorily through this "maze" of learning.
SOME LONDON
PREACHERS.
I remember an American lady once saying to me " Oh, on Sundays in England we
never lack for entertainment; we always
endeavor to manage our excursions so, that
we may be back in London for the Sunday,
in order to have as many sermons as possible." You may have heard on the other
hand of the Frenchman who said he would
r.'tlii-r spend a Sunday at the bottom of a
well in the centre of the Great Pyramid than
in London. Still, I imagine, the number
of those who would agree with the American lady, is not small. It is to be hoped
that this innocent dissipation may result
beneficially to those who are led to indulge
in it. In coming to the subject of the London Sabbath, to its manifold missionary
efforts, to its varied observance, to the army of
lay and clerical workers, one reaches a theme
so vast, that here, I must content myself
with briefly mentioning a few of those men,
who are at the present time of especial power and note in this world of a city. In the
English pulpit to-day, are some of the strongest men, an English speaking race has given the latter half of this country. Whether
churchmen or non-conformists, they are rightly to be considered as among* the grandest
purifying, civilizing, spiritualizing
in the world.
Spurgeon is now one of the sights people
cross the Atlantic to see, as they come for
the Cathednl at Cologne, or the Abbey ot
Westminster. He may not please all, but
he cannot fail to impress all by his intense
earnestness, and many he moves like a
mighty wind. May I be pardoned a slight
digression here, and the expression of a private and personal opinion. Tnere are some
four or five men in Europe, who are worthy
to be placed among the great men of history,
men who have attained heights which tower
above the heights of other men. We are
always, if we only know it, living in an
"heroic age." Sometimes we call men great,
rather because of the antiquity of their
While
names than for any other reason.
of
the
forces
at work
those of our own century we fail to honor
as they deserve,. But, as 1 was saying,
there seem to be living just now, four or five
of these great men in Europe, great in the
present, and for all coming ages ; and these
are, in Music—Wagner ; in History—Car-
lyle; in Poetry—Victor Hugo; in Politics—
Bismarck ; and in the Pulpit—Spurgeon.
One of the magnificent spectacles of London is Mr. Spurgeon's church, filled with
thousands of people, every pew packed and
the aisle crowded. The church is so arranged that the galleries run entirely around
I*Bo.
67
THE FRIEND,
the church, in this way accommodating an
immense number of listeners. The music
is of the simplest character, but profoundly
impressive. There is no organ, no choir,
no paid artistic performers. A gentleman,
with a strong full voice, leads the singing in
which this great congregation joins with a
heartiness, a "whole-souledness" that causes
the strains of the grand old hymns to rise
like the mighty music of the sea. Nothing
could be more simple, nothing more inspiring. A little s.tout, thick set man comes
down on to the raised platform, and takes his
place before the reading desk. But we think
there is surely some mistake, that after all
we may hive come in vain, and that for
this evening some one is to take Mr. Spur-
peon's
place.
But presently he gives out
the opening hymn, and then reads one of the
Psalms of David, nnd now we ore sure the
famous preacher is before us. For there is
only one voice like his it London, in England, so el••tic, so powerful, so vibratory, so
musical. It would be impossible for Mr.
Spurgeon to speak without saying something
which bears the stamp of his own peculiar
genius. You might, find him lacking at
times in refinement, in delicacy of expression, but never in a grand, convincing earnestness, in a large braherly tenderness. Thousands flock year after year to hear him. He
seems to be as popular to-day as he ever
was. His sermons are full of a peculiar,
vigorous poetry of his own, and picturesque
with anecdotes and descriptions. Smiles
and tears come and go on this mightly sea
of upturned faces, like April sunshine ami
shadow. He speaks like a man, keenly
alive to the great, yearning needs of humanity, acquainted with the joys and sorrows,
the heartaches, the disappointments, the
struggles of his brother men. and he speaks
like an apostle on whom the flame of inspiration has descended, of the grand and
weighty themes of time and eternity. It is
impossible to be in his presence, and not to
feel the strong, grand spirit of this consecrated man. Almost more than any one else I
hive ever seen, he seems to have attained to
that ideil of the Christian life, which he
himself holds in his lustrous heavenly beauty before his hearers—that life wherein
44
every meal becomes a sacrament; every vesture, a vestment; and every breath, a psalm !"
One could scarcely conceive of a greater
contrast than that which a service at Westminster Abbey offers, to one at Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle. The music in the Abbey, though so entirely different, is however
most beautifully impressive. We had tbe
pleasure of hearing the venerable and distinguished Dean Stanley preach here on WbitSunday. Dean Stanley's name is too well
hnd widely known to call for any especial
mention here. He ranks among the very
foremost of the clergymen of the Church of
England. His writing's cover a wide range,
and his name will always be remembered
with honor, as that of one who, with spirit
almost in advance of his day and generation,
has sought to diffuse a broad and generous
Catholicity of Christian fellowship and religious feeling. The years are beginning to
leave their traces on the finely chiseled,
scholarly features of the Dean, and his voice
no longer has the ring of youth, but tbe noble strength of his intellect still continues

feeling. Perhaps the most popular of clerical writers to-day in England is Canon
Farrar. His " Life of Christ came immediately into public favor, and his recently
published elaborate, eloquent and vigorous
Life of St. Paul." is meeting with even a
wider sale. Dr. Farrar is one of the most
prominent speakers and workers in behalf of
the temperance movement, which just at the
present time is advancing in such u healthy
and satisfactory manner in England. Few
things afforded me more pleasure during my
stay in London, than a masterly sermon of
Canon Farrars, in the ancient Church of
St. Margarets, on Hebrew Poetry." It
was delivered with most admirable charms
and distinctness, and was itself so beautified
with a vigorous and poetic spirit, and varied
by eloquent and fitting flights of refined and
lofty imagination, that it was indeed a worthy treatment of this most inspiring theme.
For men of thoughtful and cultured mind
nnd earnest spirit, there could, I am sure, be
no more delightful preacher than Rev. Stopford Brooke, also a clergyman of the Church
of England. Physically he is a noble specimen of English manhood, of the " Muscular
Christianity" of which the late Charles
"
•■
"
Kingsley knew the worth. (Speaking of
Kingsley, I cannot help saying here, that
this English visit seemed in some way \ess
complete, because Kingsley was no longer
living, and instead of the grand, actual presence ofthis most heroic and brotherly man,
there was the tree-shadowed grave at Eversley, and the tablet in Westminster Abbey. \
Mr. Brooke's sermons in printed form have
gone all over England. I took up one day
a volume of them, in a friend's house, already in the 14th edition, ifI remember correctly. He preaches in the simplest, plainest of cbjirch edifices, Bedford Chapel.
There are those who think Mr. Brooke
scarcely orthodox in all points, still, I think,
in the company of those who listen with reverent eagerness for the utterances of the
Master's voice, rather than the dictum of
dogmatic self-sufficiency, this brave and
pure-hearted and earnest man is to be found.
But 1 find as the memories of these English
Sabbaths come to me, so many of whom I
would speak, that I scarcely can do more
than give the very briefest notice of a
few more names. In St. Paul, that grandest
of temples, I listened one afternoon with
thousands of others to the well-known Canon
Liddon, one of the clearest thinkers and reasoners in the English Church. Returning
a moment to the non-conformists, I would
mention Dr Parker, who preaches to one of
the first audiences in London. He is a man
of great force and originality, and is extremely popular. His church resembles in
its interior many of our American Churches,
and the audience looked less English than
most we saw in London. At some of those
mighty " May Meetings," we heard a number of the more distinguished English clergymen and ministers. Especially worthy of
note are Canon (now Bishop) Ryle of Liverpool, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Bishop of London. Dr. Manning, the eloquent and influential Secretary of the Tract
Society and many others, all men worth
hearing often.

of the difficult problems of our modern
Christian civilization. The time is near, if
it has not already come, when in this community this should be made a public charge.
It may not be wisest or best to organize a
pauper department of the government. But
the number and needs of the poor have so
increased that private charity is incompetent
to meet the necessities of the case. Time
and money, thought and care have been
freely and generously bestowed. Our citizens have always responded most nobly and
heartily to all claims on their humanity and
benevolence, nnd some have been ready to
go far beyond what was their due proportion.
It is in accordance with the usages of this
government to supplement and encourage
charitable endeavors by grants in aid. What
good reason can any one give why the government should refuse to assign to the
Strangers' Friend Society a certain portion
of the Hospital Tax ?
The ladies
who have the charge of this most
praiseworthy charitable organization, and
who have
received such warm expressions of gratitude as they can show from
those who have been the recipients of their
bounty ought to receive some public recognition of their truly noble labors, and all the
aid that public money can give. Only eternal shame and ever-deepening misery is the
fitting lot of him who shall hear from the
lips of Infinite Mercy the condemnation in
such few and simple words, yet so pointed
and weighty, •' Ye did it not."

EDITOR ABROAD-No. 6.
Having spent a few months in London
and its environs, on the evening ot May
27th, we glided away to the British Chan-
nel, and crossed over under the darkness of
night, to Flushing, in Holland. In the
early morning we found ourselves hurrying
away over green meadows, windmills, redtiled roofs, canals, and long rows of trees as
straight and regular as soldiers on parade,
lining the banks of the dikes, told us but too
plainly that we were in Holland about
which we had read so much. For some
hours we were privileged to travel among
Dutch scenes and scenery, ere we crossed
the border into Germany. After a few more
hours we entered the city of Cologne, where
we had made our arrangements to spend the
Sabbath. Our Hotel was situated under
the very shadow of the lofty and towering
spires of the Cathedral, which has been in
process of building so many centuries and
is to be formally completed the coming Autumn. The workmen are now busy lifting
stone after stone to its place, on the lofty
spires, while in other parts of the edifice the
work of restoration is going forward, thus,

We find our lodgings in the very heart of

been dated so many letters, which hove
been published in the friend during the
past two years. Directly in front is the University, from whose gateway we often see
so many students cnmi.ig forth, while on the
left is the Emperor's palace.
On Sabbath morning June 6th, we attended at tbe Koyal Cathedral. The audience
gathering filled its spacious accommodations.
The singing was superb, the congregation
joining with the well-trained choir. Soon
after the opening exercises, it was most gratifying to witness the noble and stately form
of the Emperor, unattended and unheralded,
enter the Royal Pew, remain standing while
the opening exercises were in progress, and
then see him take his seat like the humblest
worshipper in the great assembly. It was a
rainy and exceedingly unpleasant Sabbath
morning, and we had expected, that if the
Sovereign of this great Empire appeared in
church, it would have been with a number
of court-officers, and perhaps a display of
military, hence, to see the venerable and noble old Emperor who had been present in so
many battle-fields and memorable historic
scenes, enter the house of God, as any humble and devout worshipper, was the more
gratifying. The Court Chaplain spoke
most eloquently, so fur as voice and gesture
were concerned.
We observed that the

way we would remark that, rarely in America or England, have we been present at any
religious or public gathering upon the Sabbath morning or evening when the privilege
has been omitted of allowing the congregation to contribute to some good object.
We find the streets and avenues of Berlin
broad and convenient. The often described
" Unter den Linden." is a broad and noble
street, lined with long rows of maple, chesnut and lime trees, which are now clothed
in all their spring beauty and foliage. It is
quite beyond our ability, if so disposed, to
adequately and appropriately describe the

and Public buildings of this renowned Capital of a great Empire, One featore strikes

1880.
The Legislature was prorogued by Royal
Commission Saturday Aug. 14. .It was
thought that thus there had ceased to be
any opportunity afforded for the evil thst
may be wrought by reckless and ridiculous
legislntion. There was hardly time for
any feeling ofrelief in this thought, when a
new turn of affairs disclosed a new danger.
In a very few hours the news spread that
the King had dismissed the Ministry without a moment's notice. This action was
taken, as was supposed, at the instance of a
notorious foreign political adventurer, who
received the appointment of Minister of Foreign Relations. It was an action, on the
face of it, in direct contravention of the spirit
and object of the Constitution of this Kingdom. The old Ministry had given general
satisfaction, and had been sustained by the
expressed approval of a large majority of the
Legislature. A crowded and orderly mass
meeting assembled at Kautnakapili Church
on Monday evening, August 16th, and by a
vote of 1,500 to 26 appointed a Committee
to represent to the King the sure and sad
result of any unconstitutional and unpatriotic action Th 4! Committee was refused
access to the Palace. Only at the demand
of the foreign Diplomatic/Corps, headed by
Gen. Comly, the United States Minister
Resident, was the appointment of Moreno
revoked, It is said that bis intimacy at tbe
Palace and his interference in public affairs
has not ceased. The new Cabinet is composed of men, not only without such experience in. public affairs as to secure for them
the confidence of the community, but rather
conspicuous for such unfitness as to give occasion for a general feeling of distrust and
insecurity.

of personal greed and'irresponsible
wilfulness, or shall the eternal and irreversible principles of truth and justice be maintained in their ascendency here ? There
never was a better opportunity than now, for
the establishment of a healthful public sentiment on political affairs in this Kingdom.
There never was such general agreement in
condemnation of arbitrary and unreasonable
measures. There never Was such readiness
as now, for united action on the only proper
basis, like convictions of duty and expediency. Let the friends of constitutional government, righteously administered, set forth
in connection with some platform of political
principles, what they consider to be the special objects desirable in political administration at the present time. Let them rally for
the maintenance of these principles and objects from Hawaii to Niihau, both the native
born and foreign born. Let the measures
be adopted here by which political parties in
other lands seek to attain their ends, personal
influence, local associations, money contributions, printed documents, public meetings.
Agitate, agitate till a healthful public sentiment is aroused, informed and inspired.
With the rallying cry " Ka Pono no ko Hawaii Ponoi," " Honor and Happiness for all
honest Hawaiians," why should not the
friends of Hawaiian nationality successfully
contend for the maintenance and the progress of free institutions in Hawaii nei.
Punahou School will re-open on the
first Wednesday in September. Three new
teachers are expected, Mrs. Hanford of Oakland in Music; Miss Wenterof Galesbnrg in

Oberlin in Language and Physical Sciences.
Let all the friends of higher education unite
in supporting and advancing the interests of
this most honored and useful of all our
educational institutions. Rev. W. L. Jones
and Mr. F. T. Adams will continue in charge
of their special departments, Philosophy and

out of town.
London is a city which would, in a certain sense, answer to that somewhat Hibernian compliment, as being " a nice place to
live out of." For interesting: as it is, and
fascinating as is its multitudinous life, and
instructive and profitable as are days spent
amid the treasures ot the British Museum,
or the beauties of the Art Galleries, one
finds an almost greater pleasure in its environs, and the many delightful spots which lie
near at hand, but outside of the bustle and
roar of the great thoroughfares. Windsor
Castle is, counting miles, not so very near
the city, but the train takes you down so
swifty, and through such a loveljj country
that you have scarcely more than realized
you have left the city, before you see the
Royal Standard floating above the gray
towers of the Castle. If you want a glorious view, mount up the many stairs of the
great round tower, and drink in that superb
view of forest land and winding river, and
village dotted plain and garden-like beauty
spread out before you. The Castle is most
imposing—a city in itself, and a fitting home
for the good Queen of so great a people.
And more beautiful than almost anything 1
ever saw before, or hope to see again, is the
glorious avenue of giant trees stretching
away, away into the misty distance, some
three miles or so, this via triumphalis ot
royalty. We did not seethe Queen, this we
had scarcely anticipated, but we found ample
compensation in the cordial welcome from
friends, in one of tbe pleasant homes of the
old tower of Windsor, who bear in common
with us the old family name, and who, here
on English soil, in the " Old Home," greeted those returning from the other side of the
world, after two centuries and more of absence. One of the name is a Master at
Eton, famous for its school, lying near by,
and we had a most interesting opportunity
of seeing this great and historic institution.
Should you find time to wander farther on,
you would come to the "ivy mantled tower"
of which Grey so exquisitely sings in his
plaintive " Elegy." And 1 would advise
you to go to charming Richmond. But of
all places do not fail to see Hampton Court
with its treasures of Art, and its perfect
grounds, and near at hand Bushey Park.

It sounded simple enough

The direction
which was g;ven u-j. by our friend, whose
house we were leaving, to find the home of
a lady whom we had come out to Hampstead Heath to see. Had we not however
found a rosy faced English maid, to serve as
our Ariadne, I am quite afraid we should
never have made our way through the labyrinth of country lanes and hedges, with
their windings and turns innumerable. After
London, there was something indescribably
plensar.t in this glorious wealth of spring
verdure, which bordered our way and
wrought itself into a leafy canopy above our
heads, through which the afternoon's sunshine fell in softened radiance about us. I
remember we came in our walk upon a quiet
burying .ground, with ancient stones, and
in the center of this a square and rather
angular looking church, which the ivy, clinging like a vestment, strove not wholly in
vain, to beautify. You might have thought
yourself hundreds of miles sway from the
great city, so peaceful and still was everything. Then, after other wanderings and a
superb avenue of tress bordering our way
like a guard of honor, in their finest array,
we came to a charming little country house,
with a glorious view over the heath. We
were amply repaid for our walk by the kindly
smile and cordial greeting which were here
awaiting us, and for which it were worth
the while to come much further.
The literature which has arisen in reference to that remarkable period called in History, the Reformation of Germany, with
which is so inseparately connected the name
of that heroic man. Dr. Martin Luther,
forms a fine library in itself. It is one of
those fertile themes, which seem almost exhaustless in their resources, and which find
in every succeeding generation new investigators and chroniclers, still voluminous as
are all these writings in various languages.
I think I am quite right in saying that it
was left to an English lady of our own day,
to tell the grand and glowing story of the
intrepid Reformer's life, to the young people of England and America. This is very
much to say, but I am sure all those who
know ol the wide and continued success of
that most delightful of books " Chronicles of
the
" Schfimberg Cotta Family," will
most
heartily agree with me. It is because I feel
that iv authoress, Mrs. Charles, (ip that
the horizon is '• Harrow on the Hill," one of
the famous schools for English boys, its
spire just visible. Within 1 am sure you
would be charmed with our hostess, a lady
in middle life, with an earnest face, a voice
nnd manner wholly and most agreeably
quiet and moderate, and something in her
way of speaking on many varied subjects
which suggests the power which is iw>nifest
in her writings. 1 know of no one who
would shrink more than she from sitting for
a newspaper photograph, and yet I have felt
drawn almost unconsciously into giving it,
by the thought of the sympathetic recipients
of the same. Mrs. Charles lives in this delightful home, on the verdant edge of the
mighty city, with her mother, a sweet and
gentle lady, surrounded by her books, her
flowers and those thousand attractions which
moke English ' interiors" the most beautiful in the world- I have mentioned the
*■
Schomberg Cotta Family," because of its
being the book by which"Mrs. Charles is the
best known with us, at least. One must
really know Germany to appreciate it fully.
I have a copy of it now, which 1 used once
as a sort of delightful guide book in my
rambles amid scenes which the name of
Martin Luther had made famous. I know
of no English book which seems so filled
with the sweet, natural grace of German
life and character, and the style is so true
that you might indeed believe it to be a
translation from some old German chronicle.
There is a sort of delicious fragrance about
the book, which comes to me like the scent
of pines from the grand old Thurnigian
forest.
But besides this, you know Mrs. Charles
has written many books, the titles and contents of which you are as familiar with as I
am myself.
Then she has written some most beautiful poems and has written with equal grace
of the hymns which have grown dear to the
Christian Church. She has dipped into almost every period of Christian History and
found herself at home in all. Few have
such a power of vivifying the past as she.
And then it is not alone as the painter of
history that we should prize her, but as the
earnest faithful Christian woman and authoress, who holds her pen as a consecrated
instrument for the great and glorious Cause,
which our Lord has left to His followers to
carry forward.
We had the pleasure of a delightful stroll

with her off on the Heath, where about
us the furze was crowning itself with long
golden sprays. It was. one of the fairest
days of the early summer, and the whole
world was in its beauty. The view of
London from this point was wondrously
fine. We snw it lying partly in sunshine,
and partly in shade, with its thousand spires
and domes rising out nl a sea of mist. And
now in parting, I am sure I am but putting
into words, the desires of many beside myself, when I wish all joy and gladness and
blessing for our friends at Hampstead Heath.
OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE.
Mere existence at either Oxford or Cambridge must in itself be a sort of education. By a species of spiritual absorption
the most inert mind must needs receive, to a
certain degree, the beautifying and elevating
culture which the historic and scholastic
atmosphere of these venerable seats of learning seems so peculiarly adapted to convey.
Leaving them this lower type of inspiration
and passing to the sphere, where it is to be
hoped most men are to be found, that of the
wors-ers and not the drones, it will be readily perceived how grand an influence these
institutions by their very presence, are capab'e of exerting upon all earnest men.
There are those who can do the better work
with the tones of sweet music coming to
them, forming as it were a rhymic and
me.odious accompaniment to their thoughts.
And 1 could fancy in a somewhat similnr
way, it might be possible for many men to
be here stimulated to loftier thought and
more poetic utterance, by the subtle power
which antiquity, added to beauty of material
form, seems to possess. In all the world
Oxford and Cambridge are unique. You
will find nothing on the continent to compare with them, and in the New World, of
course, comparisons cannot for centuries be
sought. You will notice that I am saying
nothing in reference to the standard of education, or of the training which in the past
these universities have offered or have still
to offer. But that I am alluding solely to
their mere shell, as it were the outside
covering and adornment, which joined to a
thousand classic and historic memories and
associations, impresses all who are privileged to come to visit them.
It would be difficult to say which were
the more beautiful, Oxford or Cambridge.
There are certain essential points of resemblance and yet each possesses a marked individuality. Cambridge University has the
advantage of being in a far smaller town,
and in a town where quaint architecture and
peaceful streets seem in harmony with the
colleges. While Oxford University on the
other hand suffers by its nearness to a large
and uninteresting town, which presses and
crowds upon the grey and ancient buildings
in a way which is far from pleasing. Still
these are lesser matters. They are both, as
seats of learning, now dignified and crowned
bycenturies, beautified and enriched by refined taste and wealth, eloquent with a long
and worthy past, singularly attractive. 1
chanced to be at Cambridge during the
Faster holidays, and found it given over to
the unbroken silence of vacation. You
might have thought it a city of the dead,
but for the occasional passing of some student
in cap and gown, whom necessity or incline-
tion had led to remain here during this
holiday season. In thinking of either Oxford or Cambridge, you must dismiss all
ideas of one building, or of a few grouping
about a central and main edifice. They
are as it were cities of colleges, each of
these a little world in itself. In Cambridge
I felt this especially, because the colleges
were separated at times by such extensive
open spaces, you felt as it were in passing
under the gateway, like entering a feudal
castle, where the inmates acknowledged only
their chieftain as ruler, lean through no
words of description convey to you an adequate and correct idea of the rare and peculiar beauty of Cambridge. How I wish it
were in my power to do so. You pass beneath massive and imposing arches, b-nring
the date of centuries long departed, and the
coats of arms of sovereigns, who have
yielded their crowns to others, and these in
turn to others, and into wide and carefully
kept quadrangles, where in the entrance of
encircling walls the smoothest of turf gleams
like a huge emerald in a setting of stone.
About you are grey and time stained buildings, which for ages have been the homes of
the very flower of England's youth. You
wonder, entering at the superb Gothic Halls,
with their dark rich carvings, drooping banners and armorial adornments, at the
chapels, gems of architectural beauty, dim
with the religious light which streams
through jewelled windows ; at the elegance,
the luxury, the magnificence which surround you, and you say "These are the
palaces of princes." Or again, without, you
catch the gleam of a peaceful river, flowing
between verdant banks, mirroring ancient
and majestic trees, and bearing upon its
bossom white and stately swans; or you
gaze with delight at some antique arch,
crumbling with age and festooned with ivy,
or higher up at the picturesque beauty of
some mullioned window, upon whose ledge
a row of flowers gleam like crimson flame,
or you trace the leafy scroll-work of some
graceful stone carving, out lined against the
warm rich blue of the April sky and you ex
claim with enthusiasm, while the- soft
chimes of chapel bells deepen your delight,
Here must indeed be the homes and
"haunts
of artists and poets."
There are at Cambridge seventeen colleges
and four halls As a University it has
always held a high position and numbers
among its alumni, some of the most noted
names in English letters nnd statesmanship.
Especial attention is here paid to mathematical study, while nt Oxford tbe highest
honors are generally obtained by those who
have devoted themselves to classical studies.
Few views are more impressive than that
with which you are favored from one of the
many towers in Oxford. Beneath you lie a
city of scholastic buildings, varied by verdant courts and lovely promenades. And if
you are delighted by this birds-eye view
from above, your enthusiasm is increased
tenfold as you walk through the college
grounds and under the shadows of these
mediaeval walls. The names of the colleges
are known the world over, Christ Church,
Baliol, Magdalen, Trinity, Corpus Christi,
Oriel, and many more. Among the most
interesting places to visit, is the Bodbian
Library, founded in the 16th century and
SEPTEMBER.
one of the finest libraries in the world. A
monument on one of the principal avenues,
marks the spot where Ridley, Latimer and
Cranmer, found a martyr's glorious death in
the midst of persecuting flames. If we
found Cambridge deserted, we found Oxford populous with students. It was at the
height of the examination period, and young
Oxford was in a state of suspense and excitement. The week following, the various
exercises connected with commemoration
were to take pluce. We owed much of the
pleasure of our visit to the courteous and
kindly attention of a fellow of Merton
College, who guided us most skilfully and
satisfactorily through this "maze" of learning.
SOME LONDON
PREACHERS.
I remember an American lady once saying to me " Oh, on Sundays in England we
never lack for entertainment; we always
endeavor to manage our excursions so, that
we may be back in London for the Sunday,
in order to have as many sermons as possible." You may have heard on the other
hand of the Frenchman who said he would
r.'tlii-r spend a Sunday at the bottom of a
well in the centre of the Great Pyramid than
in London. Still, I imagine, the number
of those who would agree with the American lady, is not small. It is to be hoped
that this innocent dissipation may result
beneficially to those who are led to indulge
in it. In coming to the subject of the London Sabbath, to its manifold missionary
efforts, to its varied observance, to the army of
lay and clerical workers, one reaches a theme
so vast, that here, I must content myself
with briefly mentioning a few of those men,
who are at the present time of especial power and note in this world of a city. In the
English pulpit to-day, are some of the strongest men, an English speaking race has given the latter half of this country. Whether
churchmen or non-conformists, they are rightly to be considered as among* the grandest
purifying, civilizing, spiritualizing
in the world.
Spurgeon is now one of the sights people
cross the Atlantic to see, as they come for
the Cathednl at Cologne, or the Abbey ot
Westminster. He may not please all, but
he cannot fail to impress all by his intense
earnestness, and many he moves like a
mighty wind. May I be pardoned a slight
digression here, and the expression of a private and personal opinion. Tnere are some
four or five men in Europe, who are worthy
to be placed among the great men of history,
men who have attained heights which tower
above the heights of other men. We are
always, if we only know it, living in an
"heroic age." Sometimes we call men great,
rather because of the antiquity of their
While
names than for any other reason.
of
the
forces
at work
those of our own century we fail to honor
as they deserve,. But, as 1 was saying,
there seem to be living just now, four or five
of these great men in Europe, great in the
present, and for all coming ages ; and these
are, in Music—Wagner ; in History—Car-
lyle; in Poetry—Victor Hugo; in Politics—
Bismarck ; and in the Pulpit—Spurgeon.
One of the magnificent spectacles of London is Mr. Spurgeon's church, filled with
thousands of people, every pew packed and
the aisle crowded. The church is so arranged that the galleries run entirely around
I*Bo.
67
THE FRIEND,
the church, in this way accommodating an
immense number of listeners. The music
is of the simplest character, but profoundly
impressive. There is no organ, no choir,
no paid artistic performers. A gentleman,
with a strong full voice, leads the singing in
which this great congregation joins with a
heartiness, a "whole-souledness" that causes
the strains of the grand old hymns to rise
like the mighty music of the sea. Nothing
could be more simple, nothing more inspiring. A little s.tout, thick set man comes
down on to the raised platform, and takes his
place before the reading desk. But we think
there is surely some mistake, that after all
we may hive come in vain, and that for
this evening some one is to take Mr. Spur-
peon's
place.
But presently he gives out
the opening hymn, and then reads one of the
Psalms of David, nnd now we ore sure the
famous preacher is before us. For there is
only one voice like his it London, in England, so el••tic, so powerful, so vibratory, so
musical. It would be impossible for Mr.
Spurgeon to speak without saying something
which bears the stamp of his own peculiar
genius. You might, find him lacking at
times in refinement, in delicacy of expression, but never in a grand, convincing earnestness, in a large braherly tenderness. Thousands flock year after year to hear him. He
seems to be as popular to-day as he ever
was. His sermons are full of a peculiar,
vigorous poetry of his own, and picturesque
with anecdotes and descriptions. Smiles
and tears come and go on this mightly sea
of upturned faces, like April sunshine ami
shadow. He speaks like a man, keenly
alive to the great, yearning needs of humanity, acquainted with the joys and sorrows,
the heartaches, the disappointments, the
struggles of his brother men. and he speaks
like an apostle on whom the flame of inspiration has descended, of the grand and
weighty themes of time and eternity. It is
impossible to be in his presence, and not to
feel the strong, grand spirit of this consecrated man. Almost more than any one else I
hive ever seen, he seems to have attained to
that ideil of the Christian life, which he
himself holds in his lustrous heavenly beauty before his hearers—that life wherein
44
every meal becomes a sacrament; every vesture, a vestment; and every breath, a psalm !"
One could scarcely conceive of a greater
contrast than that which a service at Westminster Abbey offers, to one at Mr. Spurgeon's Tabernacle. The music in the Abbey, though so entirely different, is however
most beautifully impressive. We had tbe
pleasure of hearing the venerable and distinguished Dean Stanley preach here on WbitSunday. Dean Stanley's name is too well
hnd widely known to call for any especial
mention here. He ranks among the very
foremost of the clergymen of the Church of
England. His writing's cover a wide range,
and his name will always be remembered
with honor, as that of one who, with spirit
almost in advance of his day and generation,
has sought to diffuse a broad and generous
Catholicity of Christian fellowship and religious feeling. The years are beginning to
leave their traces on the finely chiseled,
scholarly features of the Dean, and his voice
no longer has the ring of youth, but tbe noble strength of his intellect still continues

feeling. Perhaps the most popular of clerical writers to-day in England is Canon
Farrar. His " Life of Christ came immediately into public favor, and his recently
published elaborate, eloquent and vigorous
Life of St. Paul." is meeting with even a
wider sale. Dr. Farrar is one of the most
prominent speakers and workers in behalf of
the temperance movement, which just at the
present time is advancing in such u healthy
and satisfactory manner in England. Few
things afforded me more pleasure during my
stay in London, than a masterly sermon of
Canon Farrars, in the ancient Church of
St. Margarets, on Hebrew Poetry." It
was delivered with most admirable charms
and distinctness, and was itself so beautified
with a vigorous and poetic spirit, and varied
by eloquent and fitting flights of refined and
lofty imagination, that it was indeed a worthy treatment of this most inspiring theme.
For men of thoughtful and cultured mind
nnd earnest spirit, there could, I am sure, be
no more delightful preacher than Rev. Stopford Brooke, also a clergyman of the Church
of England. Physically he is a noble specimen of English manhood, of the " Muscular
Christianity" of which the late Charles
"
•■
"
Kingsley knew the worth. (Speaking of
Kingsley, I cannot help saying here, that
this English visit seemed in some way \ess
complete, because Kingsley was no longer
living, and instead of the grand, actual presence ofthis most heroic and brotherly man,
there was the tree-shadowed grave at Eversley, and the tablet in Westminster Abbey. \
Mr. Brooke's sermons in printed form have
gone all over England. I took up one day
a volume of them, in a friend's house, already in the 14th edition, ifI remember correctly. He preaches in the simplest, plainest of cbjirch edifices, Bedford Chapel.
There are those who think Mr. Brooke
scarcely orthodox in all points, still, I think,
in the company of those who listen with reverent eagerness for the utterances of the
Master's voice, rather than the dictum of
dogmatic self-sufficiency, this brave and
pure-hearted and earnest man is to be found.
But 1 find as the memories of these English
Sabbaths come to me, so many of whom I
would speak, that I scarcely can do more
than give the very briefest notice of a
few more names. In St. Paul, that grandest
of temples, I listened one afternoon with
thousands of others to the well-known Canon
Liddon, one of the clearest thinkers and reasoners in the English Church. Returning
a moment to the non-conformists, I would
mention Dr Parker, who preaches to one of
the first audiences in London. He is a man
of great force and originality, and is extremely popular. His church resembles in
its interior many of our American Churches,
and the audience looked less English than
most we saw in London. At some of those
mighty " May Meetings," we heard a number of the more distinguished English clergymen and ministers. Especially worthy of
note are Canon (now Bishop) Ryle of Liverpool, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Bishop of London. Dr. Manning, the eloquent and influential Secretary of the Tract
Society and many others, all men worth
hearing often.

of the difficult problems of our modern
Christian civilization. The time is near, if
it has not already come, when in this community this should be made a public charge.
It may not be wisest or best to organize a
pauper department of the government. But
the number and needs of the poor have so
increased that private charity is incompetent
to meet the necessities of the case. Time
and money, thought and care have been
freely and generously bestowed. Our citizens have always responded most nobly and
heartily to all claims on their humanity and
benevolence, nnd some have been ready to
go far beyond what was their due proportion.
It is in accordance with the usages of this
government to supplement and encourage
charitable endeavors by grants in aid. What
good reason can any one give why the government should refuse to assign to the
Strangers' Friend Society a certain portion
of the Hospital Tax ?
The ladies
who have the charge of this most
praiseworthy charitable organization, and
who have
received such warm expressions of gratitude as they can show from
those who have been the recipients of their
bounty ought to receive some public recognition of their truly noble labors, and all the
aid that public money can give. Only eternal shame and ever-deepening misery is the
fitting lot of him who shall hear from the
lips of Infinite Mercy the condemnation in
such few and simple words, yet so pointed
and weighty, •' Ye did it not."

Having spent a few months in London
and its environs, on the evening ot May
27th, we glided away to the British Chan-
nel, and crossed over under the darkness of
night, to Flushing, in Holland. In the
early morning we found ourselves hurrying
away over green meadows, windmills, redtiled roofs, canals, and long rows of trees as
straight and regular as soldiers on parade,
lining the banks of the dikes, told us but too
plainly that we were in Holland about
which we had read so much. For some
hours we were privileged to travel among
Dutch scenes and scenery, ere we crossed
the border into Germany. After a few more
hours we entered the city of Cologne, where
we had made our arrangements to spend the
Sabbath. Our Hotel was situated under
the very shadow of the lofty and towering
spires of the Cathedral, which has been in
process of building so many centuries and
is to be formally completed the coming Autumn. The workmen are now busy lifting
stone after stone to its place, on the lofty
spires, while in other parts of the edifice the
work of restoration is going forward, thus,

We find our lodgings in the very heart of
the cily—39 Behrenstrasse—where have
been dated so many letters, which hove
been published in the friend during the
past two years. Directly in front is the University, from whose gateway we often see
so many students cnmi.ig forth, while on the
left is the Emperor's palace.
On Sabbath morning June 6th, we attended at tbe Koyal Cathedral. The audience
gathering filled its spacious accommodations.
The singing was superb, the congregation
joining with the well-trained choir. Soon
after the opening exercises, it was most gratifying to witness the noble and stately form
of the Emperor, unattended and unheralded,
enter the Royal Pew, remain standing while
the opening exercises were in progress, and
then see him take his seat like the humblest
worshipper in the great assembly. It was a
rainy and exceedingly unpleasant Sabbath
morning, and we had expected, that if the
Sovereign of this great Empire appeared in
church, it would have been with a number
of court-officers, and perhaps a display of
military, hence, to see the venerable and noble old Emperor who had been present in so
many battle-fields and memorable historic
scenes, enter the house of God, as any humble and devout worshipper, was the more
gratifying. The Court Chaplain spoke
most eloquently, so fur as voice and gesture
were concerned.
We observed that the

way we would remark that, rarely in America or England, have we been present at any
religious or public gathering upon the Sabbath morning or evening when the privilege
has been omitted of allowing the congregation to contribute to some good object.
We find the streets and avenues of Berlin
broad and convenient. The often described
" Unter den Linden." is a broad and noble
street, lined with long rows of maple, chesnut and lime trees, which are now clothed
in all their spring beauty and foliage. It is
quite beyond our ability, if so disposed, to
adequately and appropriately describe the
various Museums, Picture-galleries, Palaces,
and Public buildings of this renowned Capital of a great Empire, One featore strikes
us with marked impression, we refer to the
