II. S. Townwnd, president; Re. V. C. Mer
ritt, vice-president; Mist Lula I.. More (re
elected), secretary.
Mr. Townsend look the chair and thanked
the convention in a neat speech lor the honor
conferred upon him, after which Rev. C. M.
H)de proceeded to read a letter from M. W
R. Hitchcock, of Lahainaluna, which contained
suggestions for syttematizinK the work of the
association during the coming ear. The presi
dent appointed Mr. Oleson, Miss W. II.
Hardy and Mr. Hyde to pro)iOte resolutions
for discussion upon Mr. Hitchcock's sugges
tions. Mr. John A. Moore, deliseredan instruct
live address upon The Teaching of English to
Hawaiian. The points raised by Mr. Muore
were practically discussed by Messrs. Mackin
tosh, Scott, Oleson and Crook. At twehe
o'clock the convention took a recess. When
the conventioa re comened at 2 1'. si. the
president called for the report of the commit
tee on resolutions. The committee gate a
partial report embracing two resolutions re
garding Mr. Hitchcock's letter. On molioo
the report was bid on the table subject to the
call of the meeting. Mist M. E. Hillebrand
read a paper captaining the theory oftraching
decimals as whole numbers. She claimed that
decimals had been successfully taucht by this
method in Hilo, and Illustrated on the black
board that the explanations of the system were
abort and simple.
Mr. E. D. C. Wallace followed with a care
fully prcparetl paper on Arithmetic showing
that it should be taught as a science and claim'
ing that accuracy in definition was of the great'
est) importance. Mrs. Wallace's essay will
appear in full in neit Saturday's Press as will
also the paper which followed, by Mr. V. II.
Oleson, on Moral Culture in Our Schools. Mr.
Oleson's paper provoked a long discusion which
luted until the noon recess. Dr. Hyde spoke
of the low .moral standard of some of the na
tive teachers. He cited the case of a teacher
sa Maul, who, among immortal actions, had
'been guilty of .adultery, and declared it was
tiro that we demand reform in our school
system. Mr. W C. Crook spoke of the au
thority the teacher should exercise over his
pupils from the time they lease home for school
until they return home in the cveviug. Mr.M.
Scott held that morals should be taught in our
schools is a science; he wished to know if Mr.
Oleson could prepare a practical system to
rtach that end, and said, " 1 know of no ele
mentary book that is worthy of being put into
the "school-room a a tcxt-louk."
yit. Alexander Mackintosh advocated teach
lag morals tn the public schools from the Uibte
jail could see no cause fur keeping it out of
th schools. Mr. Oleson said the New York
authorities have decided to teach morals in a
'lysltsnatic manner in the public schools. Rev.
W. C. Merritt said that he belietcd any thing
tta than the Jiible fur teaching morals would
swaupttficial; that jbc morals of Scotland were
, towered after the Hook of Proverbs at a text
book was stricken out of their country's school
syttesn, that all moral teaching must lie based
upon God's srord; that he was afraid of any
lanital of morals be had ever seen; that morals
snttat be tanght by a moral teacher who was
beyond reproach, and concluded by saying, "if
I'm an old foggy all right I'll stand there 1"
Mrs. C B. Hebbard was of the opinion that
. must be moral ourselves and att a Christ-
. Ian lilt not merely leach il before we can
. ' atk the lUwaiiant 10 practice morality, Mr,
. Oleson emphislrcd the point that we need a
.test-book to git e definitions of moral terms, if
for nothing else.
s , On the second day, the convention met at
J 10 a. M, After the usual preliminaries Dr
a Mywt took the floor and read an essay which
. efalared in unmeasured terms, the school au.
MstorHies of this kingdom. Some Drdrable
Improvement In Our Educational System was
the title of the essay, It had more the char-
.acterof a declaration than that ol a criticism,
, t; rejected not only upon the government but
upon individual! connected with the govern-
tsMnt, and Intimated that our schools were
" bit-bed of Upioty and vice" for which the
people of these islands were responsible. Dr,
'Hyde closed tfilh a set of resolutions which
awe. convention did not endorse and which were
f atroagly opputcd by Mr, (1. V Kenyon, who
asked for the resolutions and took them up
r h for item, 1 le objected that teachers cm-
ployed by the government should present such
w solutions and held that if the people were
latxmrlle for (he condition of affsirs that the
proper source of ledrcst was through the legit
Utsvrti that the convention, ftr it, had no
rstOHtttjbt to dictate in the matter than a clerk
had to ask for hie employer's balance sheet.
He held that our public school system In

The pastingyears are fast lessening the num.
ber of pioneer missionaries to the Hawaiian
Islands. Only two years ago, Titus Coan, the
famous missionary evangelist, closed his eyes in
death in his beloved Hilo, the scene of his Pen
tecostal labors. Now we have to chronicle the
death of a man who, peculiarly endowed for
hit difficult task, wrought no less successfully
in the moral and intellectual training of Ha
waiian youth in the missionary boarding-school
at Hilo, To those who are conversant with
Ihe records of missionary effort among Hawai
ian!, the influence of this school at an evan
gelical center, and as a nursery of Christian
belief and character, is recognitor! as having
been deeper and more far-reaching than that of
almost any other missionary force employed.
For forty-five years, David lielden Lyman,
as principal of that missionary institution, left
the impress of his own high character on the
minds aud hearts of nearly a thousand choice
Hawaiian youth, many of whom aie to-day
pastors in the churches, missionaries among the
MicronctUnsand Marquesans, leading lawyers,
planters, and men of affairs.while in every little
community a the Urge Island of Hawaii, the
men who stand for righteousness and are the
life of the native churches in Ihe present criti
cal period, are those who received their train
ing at Hilo. It Is only an Instance of hit pene
trating foresight and rare good judgemeu,!, that
when Ihe school was established in lSj6, and
the first students came naked, with all their
acatcn habits clinging to them, he stood almost
alone in the sanguine belief that it would prove
a permanent factor in the religious hittury and
life of the native race. Well had It been fur
the present and coming generation of llawal.
lint if others had caught hit sanguine spirit
and more such schools had been cstabliihed.
In striking ways, this remarkable man's car
eer was that of tbe typical missionary, A
classmate of Professor Psak la Andover, and
a graduate of Williams, of no mean rank, he
deemed it no watte of capital, acquired by
years of scholarly pursuit, lo( consecrate hit life
to the work of evangelising a grossly heathen
people. Such consecration signified no lack
of loyalty to cullrge and seminary training; for,
aftrr reaching hit threescore years and ten, it
wat not an uncommon thing for Intimate friends
lo find him renting his Hebrew Bible In hl
private devotional hours. It was character
istic for him to be thus quietly leading the
higher intellectual and spiritual life, while hit
days were crowded with little menial offices,
such as few college graduates could adapt them
selves to without seriously discounting their tn "
lelWctual and spiritual growth.
T
When strangers In hn later years ipole to
him of tut life work, he would plat fully say
Oh ' I'm nothing but a ptofestor of laro
culture !" It svat in taro fields, smong scant
ily clad youth, that he taught the nobility of
labor, and he virtue of thoioughnett. Not a
few nlm, from college platforms, have above
everjtlilng elte to develop manly character
and sterling rectitude, may well hate studied
the success of thit man, stho Inspires! hit pu-
pils,tn tpile of heathen habitiand upeniiilont,
to a noble OitlstUti purpote In life, and such
a patient continuance in well-stotni; as tn call
forth, at least in one Instance, almost world-
ide admiration ami the well-nierlletl com
mendation of Abraham Lincoln.
He knew from bitter experience what wi(t?
the discouraging side of missionary effort
among an eiceptionally sensual people, and he
pruvesl his faith in the Gospel's mission and
power by nearly half a century of persistent
falthfutnest in the one svoik and place to
hlch Providence hid nttlgnesl him. Tne
restlessness of modern workers In the home
land It rebuked by the patience ami humble
consecration ol this missionary In the mid-Pacific.
When he stepped ashore at Hilo in
tSji, it wat lo ttay until hit work wat done
and he svat called away. The ruth of the cen
tury, with its steamboats and railroads and
leugrapht and prodigious material advance
ment, touched him not. He si at at vvotk with
unseen forces, putting a permanent wedge be
tween the old hrathenitm and the new Christ
ian civilization.
Unobtrusive and modest almost to a fault,
he cited nothing fur human praise, and valued
notoriety at a thing of small account. I le w at
content to do right and to serve hit Master,
caring only for the Master's approval. He
wat abundant In his labors, and they hate not
been in vain in the Lord. It was n touching
sight, to see tall, strung men, svho twenty
years be "ore had been hit pupilt, stand about
hit open grave, and, with eyes suffused with
tears, cast In their last tribute of flowers.
Physically not at all a strong man, he yet
wrought a work that any strong man might
have felt a pardonable pride in. He sought
not honor, but all men honored him as a good
man. He could hardly hate chosen for him
self a wider sphere of Influence, or a more per
manent result of his labors than that which
God led him ,to and kept him patiently in.
Nou. Kekela, one ofMr. L) man's pupilt,
now a mitsionaty at the Marquesas Islands,
rescued a cast-away sailor there from a dread
ful fate, ransoming his own life, and, on being
rewarded by President Lincoln, wrote in ack
nowledgment as follows t "The seed of this
friendly deed of mine svas brought from tour
great land. It was planted in Hawaii, and I
brought it here that thete dark regions might
receive the root of all that it good and true.
May the love of the Lord Jesus Chrjist abound
toward you till the end of this terrible war
In your land." AVf. If. II. Olaom, in AVtf

I find the following "true yarn" in a re
cent number of the Nautical Gazette :
The records of thipsvreckt present few more
thrilling incidents than the one reported in con
nection with the capsizing of the Dutch lugger
Maartje. This unlucky vessel was overtaken
In a tremendous gale when some hundred
miles from Spurn Head in Yorkshire. A sea
struck her and turned her right over, imprison
ing eleven men in the cabin, where seven of
them were soon drowned. The vessel partly
righting herself, the other four were able to
scramble out, and they all clung to the stem
head, the only part of the lugger whiclv kept
above water. One of them was washed away
next morning, but the remaining three held on
throughout the day eagerly looking out for
rescue. A terrible situation was this, but un
fortunately not altogether uncommon in the
history of such disasters at sea. Towards
evening, however, one of the three poor 'fel
lows broke into wild delirium, and when-at
length, after another fearful night of peril and
cxposure.the Grimsby smack General Wolscley
bore down upon them and endeavored to res
cue them, he refused to be taken from the
wreck. I ie had spent the night in wild laughter
and delirous songs and now clung with a man!
ac's freqzy to the hull of the vessel. The crew
of the Grimsby smack seem to bate behaved
with great gallantry in their efforts to sate the
men, and the mate, at the imminent peril of
his own life, went on the wreck and tied a
rope round the poor fellow's waist, and an at
tempt was made to drag him into the boat.
With the tenacious clutch of a madman, how
ever, he held on, determined, as he said, to
go and tell his mates down below that help
had come. The rope was at length let go in
order that other means might be tried, and
then, true to his purpose of going down to his
shipmates, he broke into a frantic laugh and
sank. Fiction has rarely conceived an) thing
moregrlm and ghastly ini It humor than the in
cident of this poor Dutchman beaten about in
a wild sea on that stemhead for two days and
two nights, and then with wild laughter plung
ing down to tell his drowned comrades that
rescue had come.

indit dualities; but tve shall find compeni

We print below extracts from valedictory and
salutatory.
Dr. Damon says:
Fort) -years ago, the iSth of this month, was
issued Volume I, No. I, of The Friend.
During all these subsequent years, the sub
scriber hat been both publisher and editor.
It is a period embracing the best part of a half
ccnlury, and covering the reigns of thrcekings,
and parts of two others. Vast have been the
changes in this "Island world of the Pacific"
during this period; and if the reader peruse the
more than 4,000 pages of this monthly, he
may gether no unreliable and untrustworthy
history ol the past hair century. I here is no
such complete record, in the government arch
ites or church records, of deaths and marriages
among foreigners, or of the arrival and dc
parture of ships, and passengers, besides a vast
amount of useful historical memoranda. A
historian might confine his research to the more
than forty volumes of this paper, and write a
history of Pol) ncsia, including its commerce,
and the progress of missions. So valuablcjias
the Friend become in a historical point of views
that years ago a request came from the British
Museum for a complete file, and even now Mr.
Bancroft, the historian of the Pacific coast, is
employing one of his secretariee in carefully
gleaning data from its pages. Here are found
the full reports of the whaling fleet, the early
accounts of the gold discovery in California
and Australia, and also a full and complete
history of missions in the Hawaiian Islands,
Micronesia and other groups. Special attention
has been alwap given to the last mentioned
topic, for a true history of missions in its va
rious branches, may be regarded as but an ap
pendix to the "Acts of the Apostles."
In concluding this brief valedictory, I can
not refrain from acknowledging the kind Pro
vidence, under whose sustaining care and
guidence, more than a half million copies of
this paper have been scatterd broad-cast among
landsmen and seamen. It affords satisfaction
that thit little sheet has cheered the cabins and
forecastles of thousands of vessels as they hat e
cruised in these Pacific waters and the Artie
seas. With the kindest wishes to my succes
sors and the reading public.
The new editors say;
The parting words of Dr. Damon tell of a
continuous existence through forty-two years of
this monthly publication, whose further man
agement has been entrusted to our care. In
these parting words Dr. Damon sets forth
clearly and comprehensively the history of The
Friend and the wide Influence which it has
exerted during these many )ears.
It will be the endeavor of the present editors

rOts CaanA Mtmorlut,
Mrs. Lydta Itingham Coan, widow of the
late Key. Titus Coan, hat pfepared a memorial
f her distinguished husband, to which an in
troduction has been written by Rev. S. J
Humphrey, District Secretary of the American
Board in Control of Foreign Missions. The
work is a well-piloted and neatly bound vol
une of 248 pages, published by Fleming II.
Revell, Chicago.
The work gives many details not only of
Father Coan's life on Hawaii but ul his life
before he arrived here. It shows that the
true missionary spirit characterizes! him at a
young man and that if circumstances had not
made It possible for him to come here he
would assuredly have gone to some other mis
sionary field.
The work will be of tnlerett to all whose
memories carry them back to the early U)t of
the mission. The reminiscent letters of many
persons appear tn the last chapter, In which U
printed a gracious metrical tribute from in
esteemed contributor of ihe Press Mrs. M,
C. Ktttrcdge.

LSI IUI IUII1CUIU)I1
An expedition of zoologists and geo
graphers has been organized under Mr.
II. O. Forbes, well known as an Asiatic
explorer, for the study of Mount Owen
Stanley Ranee, the great central mount
ain chain of the eastern peninsula of
Mew ouinca. As there is great danger
connected with this ntrip, its progress
will be watched with much interest;
but the results, if happily secured, will
probably be of unusual novelty and
importance.
One hears so little of the Argentine
Republic and Buenos Ayrcs that the
information in recent correspondence
that the steamboats on the La Plata
are "magnificent and fitted up in the
most luxurious way will be general
news. 'i he gentlemen s "smoking
room" on the steamer in which the wri
ter hap'pened to travel from Campana
to Kosario, was cooled by a fountain
playing in its center, and the dining
room was lighted by electricity.
The French Government is about to
experiment upon transplanting sponges
from the coast of byrta and the Grecian
Archipelago to the shores of Algeria
and I'rancc. The best will be selected
by the divers, who will bring them up
rooted to detached pieces of rock.
The fragments will then be put into
pcVoratcd boxes and to the new
ground. It is expected that by the
third year a crop will be ready to
gather, if success attends the experi
ment. The reputed site of the Garden of
Luen, at the junction of the I tgns and
the Euphrates (which united become
the Chat El Arab;, is now occupied by
a sterile tract, where the only life con
sists of a clump of date trees near a
very small and tltrty village, called
Gurna, at which the Turks maintain a
small garrison and a telegraph office.
The inhabitants point out to strangers
the ,rl rec of Knowledge a most at
tenuated specimen, bearing "a small
green berry, which would certainly
cause a well-fed goat to turn away in
disgust."
Coated or furred tongues have been
found by the microscope to contain
upon their surfaces the following sub
stances : Fibres of wood, linen and
cotton ; fibres of spiral vessels ; por
tions of potato skins, scales, moths ;
hairs from the legs of bees and spiders ;
pollen of various flowers ; mosquito
Wings and hairs from cats and mice ;
hairs from various leaves ; fragments of
the leaves of tobacco and chamomile ;
starch grains, cheese mould and fibres
or muscles. Hence, tt is evident that
the mouth should be shut in breathing,
and not be made a trap for all the
loose microscopic rubbish which goes
flying through space.
A freshly imported elephant escaped
recently in London on its way from
Paddington to the Zoological Gajdens.
He ran down the Edgcware Root, and
finally rushed into a passage where he
had not room to turn. His attempts
to free himself threatened to " bring
the house down" in a non-theatrical and
literal sensj. Tne neighbors might as
well have been in an actual earthquake,
except for the impossibility of applying
buni, biscuits, and other sedatives to
that terrible scouragc of nature. By
aid of delicacies the elephant was kept
tranquil till he had been gradually
backed into the street, where he was
induced by similar arguments to move
on to the Zoological Gardens without
hurting anybody.
"A party of scientific explorers that
should make a journey from the Isth
mus of Panama to the shores of Ma
gellan Straits, keeping east of the
Andes, on the table lands, would do a
good thing for geographers and the
world at large. The possibilities of
that inland region must be great, and
the river expeditions count for little in
determining the actual resources of so
great a territory. Before the close of
another century North Americans will
be colonizing the best parts of South
America, and, whatever England and
the other great powers choose to do
with Africa, the part of the world of
most importance to this republic is the
rest of this hemisphere," says " An
American " in the New York Times.
The French war cruiser D'Estrdes,
which left New Caledonia for Cher
bourg, last October is to do some sur
vey and exploring work on its voyage
home, which will last ten months.

It seems that.of late years the num
ber 01 uerman tramps has been steadily
increasing until jt has reached a figure
which is inconveniently high. In some
districts from ten to fifteen of these
wanderers will dally implore alms at a
wayside cottage or in a lonely village,
while the men are busy in the fields.
