THE FACiriC
Commercial Advertiser.
THURSDAY, JULY 14.
It is singular how ignorant eoine rsons are,
who have opportunities to gain correct informa
tion, and who are expected to know at least aa
much as is contained in elementary school books.
A Lite number of the New York Herald, in com
menting on the religious revival in that city, in
connection with the anniversaries of religious
societies, took occasion to say that notwithstand
ing all the efforts made to civilize the people of
the Sandwich Islands, " they were more demoral
ized now than when m a state of cannibalism.1"
AVe do not find a copy of the paper containing
the remark, and rely for the correctness of the
quotation on the report of another paper in
which we find it quoted. The ignorance of
the Editor of the Herald is about on a par with
that cf a London city journal which two or three
years ago gave the particulars of an incident,
said by it to have occurred in the city of Massa
chusetts in the State of Long Island.
The above quotation contains two gross mis
statements. 1st. The people of these islands
never were in a state of cannibalism; at least no
traces of it have ever been discovered. Had if
ever existed, their traditions would have con
veyed some distinct or indistinct allusions to it.
That there are cannibals in the Pacific, we all
know, but because some are such, is no reason
why all the tribes of this ocean should be clsissed
together. '
oj. The Sandwich Tfcl.-inriprw Ar not mow
demoralized now than when they were discov
ered, which we judge to be the time referred to
by the Herald. If we are to judge of their civi
lization by the same rule that we would apply to
any American or European jeople, they occupy
no mean position. It is a fact which is beyond
dispute that a greater proportion of the adult
native Sandwich Islanders can read and write
than any large city in the United States or
Europe can show New York, Boston or London
not excepted. This is too well known to
need proof. That they have not attained to that
degree of social civyization, which prevails in
America and Europe, we will not attempt to
deny. But that they are elevated far aljove their
former condition is as apparent as the light, of
the sun. Immorality and vice exist here, and so
they do in Xew York city. But because they do
thus exist in New York, and becau.se no reforma
tory measures can cure them, would it not be
falsehood for a Londoner to say that Xew York
is more demoralized than Canton in China ?
That efforts are being made to demoralize the
Sandwich Island people and to make them "more
demoralized now than when" in their former
state, by the introduction and legalizing of the
idolatrous hulas, we all admit. But at the same
time, it should be stated that these .efforts are
being counteracted by the unanimous public
voice and by the public press, except only such
as serve as hirelings to their masters. That the
remarks of the Herald vuty one of these days
become verified, depends in a great measure on
the persistency of those who have determined
that the hulas shall be established, even if the
whole nation is sacrificed in the effort.
In the report of the anniversary of the Amer
ican Board in Xew York "in May, we notice with
pleasure that Mr. Charles Dana, formerly of this
place, whom many of our readers will remember,
made some remarks, in which he took occasion to
contradict what the Xew York Herald had said
about these islands. We quote from the Ob
server :
Mr. Charles Dana, formerly a banker at Hono
lulu, Sandwich Islands, and a layman, being acci
dentally present among the audience, was invited
by the presiding officer to say something in reply to
the newspaper slander just read. Mr. Dana came
forward, and, with promptness and grent enerjry,
said tbe statements made about the Sandwich Is
lands he personally knew to be mean and false,
lie had no interest In missions beyond what any
gvntleman should have, and be didn't pet bis living
by missionary labors. lie wished he did. He bad
beard these slanders before about the missionaries,
but knew they were false. They worked harder than
he did, and harder than their slanderers.
The trouble, -he said, is not with the missiona
ries. It is with the people whose vices and bad con
duct tbe missionaries interfere with. Commerce, while
it entries blessings, often carries disease and moral
death. lie said it gave bim great pleasuf to speak
in behalf of the humble lives and devotion of the
missionaries to religion. Tbe condition of the Islands
is better than some portions of tbe Union, Vi more
people could read than in some of the Southern
States. Pistols and bowie-knives were not need
ed at the islands.
Certainly, something has been done to change
these people so much since the days of Capt. Cook.
Some persons are apt to think those who eat with
their fingers and wear but two or three garments
are heathens. Tbe Barons of England once did
the same thing. It is no evidence, because ail sleep
in one room, there is no virtue. Because we divide
our house into numerous apartments, is rather tbe
sign ofaVantof it.
Mr. Dana said tbe people of the islands keep the
Sabbath better than we do. The American Consul
once wanted to journey on the Sabbath, but t'.s na
tjree refused to go with him. Tbey are ea r after
liquor, but the Government refuses to permit it to be
aolfLr and they only get it of Americana, whoe evil
Dractices they think most be good one, and so they
imitate them. He had heard more slanders about
tka seoDle of the island, than about any ether
ctlttS It S mm and has, h .aid .to
TZ rj tla mirJonaries, who wi so hard and
Lr ' wtS rat pittance- CmUzaUon im-

" As wt were wending our way down. town.
a fow days since, on a bright July morning, we
wei-e Accosted by a gentleman with the remark
that he would like to furnish us with a suDject
for an editorial article. "We expressed tbe hanj
pinees with which we should listen to any sug
gestions, although we could not promise to act
upon them. ,
" Well," he responded, the subject to which
I alluded is, matrimony."
"Ah!" said we, sententiously ; "that is a
very solemn subject."
" Yes," -he replied, "and the more reason that
an article should bo written about it. Every
body," he proceeded, "acknowledges that one of
the chief ends of man is to marry and perpetuate
the race. The destiny of man upon earth cannot
bo perfected without marriage, any more than
the destiny of a pile of bricks can be perfected
without mortar. I regard the institution of
marriage as the most valuable of institutions-
second to none that are, or ever have been ; and
one which is essential to the preservation of social
happiness, civilization, and human harmony.
Why, between you and me, 1 have no doubt that
it is to be the great agent of the coming niillen
ium ; in fact, 1 hink the universality of the
marriage tie will be the millenium."
We shook our head, rather doubting the force
of his remarks, and he, warming with the sub
ject, proceeded : ' Can there be," be said, ijny
earthly happiness more perfect than that pro
duced by the union of two sympathetic hearts,
confiding, the one to the other, depending each
upon the other, and mutually pouring into each
other that great measure of love which renders
such a union perfect? Can there be a condition
of existence more desirable than that which leads
man to throw away the selfish individuality which
governs his single life and form tics that bind
him more closely to his fellow men which give
him an object to live for and a companion to live
with which surround him with the comforts
and grateful responsibilities of wedded life?
Why," said he, with the air of one who is bring
ing forward an incontrovertible argument, " did
you ever know a widow, or a widower, who vol
untarily remained in that Unfortunate condi
tion?" " But," we interrogated, " do you think that
mutual love aad domestic harmony are the ine
vitable consequences of. marriage? Did you
ner hear of such a thing as 1 family jars.' "
' Ah!" said he, " you have me there. 1 ad
mit that all marriages are not happy. In fact,
there are exceptions to every rule. Mankind are
yet far from perfect, and when two uncongenial
spirits are thus united, as is sometimes the case,
mutually unyielding and unaccommodating, thir
happiness cannot be supreme. But then such
cases are rare. The human mind is naturally
plastic ; and when two of them come in contact,
they fit themselves to each other. The corners
wear off. Attrition smooths away the rough-
a . A. 1 t..
neses. Ana m nineiv-nmo cases out ot a uuu-
5red where union is founded upon mutual respect
and love, a happier and more perfect life is the
result Why, there was my old 6chool-fellow,
Jack Stout onef the most awkward, ungainly
and practical mortals that were ever cast in
Xature's mould he married a little girl as dif
ferent from him as the day is from the night
a little rosy-cheeked, curly-haired romp of a
thing, that did nothing but laugh from one
week's end to another, and knew as much of
housekeeping as I do of bonnets. Everybody
lauo-hed at the match and called it absurd. Jack
ought to have taken, they said, Libby Jones, a
bony-framed, strong-minded maiden of thirty-
five. But the fact is, Jack and Xorah loved each
other, though nobody would Itt-lieve that such
a thino- could be; and when I last visited them,
some ten years since, Xorah was ono of the
most charming little mothers I ever saw, and
Jack by the magic touch of Hymen, had been
transposed into a thorough-bred gentleman ; and
&i for their love to each other, why, turtle-doves
offer no comparison.
" Xow," proceeded he, his benevolent face
beaming with enthusiasm, " it is a well-known
fact that the number of unmarried men, of young
men particularly, among our Honolulu popula-
is disproportionately large. In fact, if a Bene
dick Society were formed here, such as I have
seen in other places, and each member was
obliovd to wear the half of a pair of scissors, as
a badge of his inaoinpleto condition, the price of
hardware would immediately go up. This is the
condition of things that ought to be remedied.
This is what I want you to take hold of and
write about."
"But, my dear Sir," said we, " there is "one
argument which you seem to forget the expense
of supporting a family here in Honolulu. You
know that a large proportion of the young men
that you speak of, are hardly able to - support
themselves ; and how can one possibly support
two upon an income which barely suffices for
one:
"That," ho replied, " is the point I was just
coming to; and I wonder that a sensible man,
like yourself, should be deceived by so fallacious
a system of logic. The truth is, that many of
these , young men you speak of actually spend
more, every year, on themselves and their pleas
ures, than would suffice to support a family com
fortably. To enable their incomes to Bupply the
wants of married life, it would only bo necessary
to economize, avoid extravagance, and trust your
happiness to tho charms of domestic pursuits
rather than to those outside pleasures, which in
amount of real enjoyment cannot compare with
the happiness of home. The fact is, a young
bachelor is apt to indulge in luxuries. He needs
them to console bim for his lonely condition ; and
a large part of his income goes for things which,
if a married man, he would never consider neces
sary. For example, in order to find occupation
for his idle evenings, he joips some three or four
sxneties of different kinds, which cost him per
haps a hundred dollars a year ; he smokes, at a
moderate estimate, say fifty dollars worth of
cigars; he spends a hundred and fifty dollars
more for clothes than ho would if he had a wife
to take care of them ; ajid if all these things do
not use up his surplus income, helaysout the rest
in handsome furniture, or the gratification of some
fancy. Xow, if he gets married, of course it is
necessary to cut off some of these grand sources
of expense. And if disposed to be steady and
domestic in his habits, he will find their kss a
thousand times compensated for by the dear com
panionship of married life.
" It does not necessarily cost as much for a
family as young people are apt to suppose;
indeed, it is often the case that one can live more
economically, and save up more money when he
has somebody to live for beside himself, than
when he had only his own pleasure to look, out
for ; and there are scores of young men now exist
ing in this town and upon these islands, who if
they only understood their own interests would
get married right off and begin to lice, (and here

Now a days a young man is not always willing
to begin in this way, as his father did before
him. On the contrary he wants to begin where
his father left off; and although perhaps he
knows that his income is large enough to main
tain a family in a moderate way, yet he declines
to marry, because it is not large enough to allow
of their living in 4 style;' and he is too proud
to ask a wife to live with him whom he cannot
offer the same luxuries which she has been accus
tomed to in her parents home He would be per
fectly willing to economise and live moderately :
but he cannot think of asking her to. Disinter
ested young man ! How much he needs some
kind mentor to tell him that a woman can be
cheerful and contented and mate sunshine
brighten the humble home, if it is shared with
one she loves. How much he needs some friend
to suggest that such considerations weigh really
less wi th women than wi th men , and that the future
happiness of his wife depends more upon the
husband than upon his money. A true woman
is not a mere child, to be petted and indulged
and spoiled. She is a companion to her husband,
a sharer ot his fortunes, a sympathiser in his joys,
and a comforter in his adversities. Men do not
compliment the character of woman by thinking
that she ought to shine only amid the luxuries of
life that she can be happy only when surround
ed by the gewgaws of wealth.
"Now," said he, "I want you to tell these
things to your readers and exert your influence
in infusing a little more of the hymenial element
into .our society. There are plenty of young
ladies inannd about Honolulu that I've no doubt
might be induced to say yea to a likely young
man and who would make a happy home, too,
for both of them, in spite of his misgivings. And
while you aro upon the subject," pursued he,
" you had better suggest that one mustn't give up
if his first trial is unsuccessful. If he can't do
the beet, let him do the next best ; and if he can't
do the next best, let him do the next best to that.
Why, you would never think it, but it is none
-the less true, that 1, myself, was refused six times,
before I could get any one to have me. The
seventh time,I got a wife, and you know what a
happy life we nave led together since.
"Now" he added, giving our button an extra
twist as we paused on. the post office plat form,
" you've got a sort of knack for writing, and I
want you to write a piece about this, and be sure
to make everybody understand that if a man
wants to be respected, as he will then be in pro
portion to his real worth, let him marry; if a
man wants to gain the confidence of the commu
nity in which he lives, to save money and learn
how to enjoy it, he had better get married ; and
if a man wants to pass the best of his life happily,
as his Creator intended he should do, and have his
declining years cheered with a companion whose
heart beats in sympathy with his own, and whose
children will rise up and call him blessed, let
him get married. It is only by taking to himself
a fe, that he becomes truly a man among his
fellow-men."
We pondered upon the words of our friend, '
which were uttered with some warmth and earn-
. and though we could not agree with him
estness
in all he said, particularly about the expense of
living in Honolulu, we resolved to write out,
literally, as near as possible, the conversation
which had occurred, and lay it before our readers,
that they may have the benefit if it.
NOTES OF TI1C WEEK.
Loss of tbe Bark " Jacob B.ascasteb." On
Monday afternoon, July 11, a boat arrived at this
port, containing the captain, officers and crew of the
American bark Jacob B. Lancaster, which foundered
off Moljkai on the 10th. Capt. Small has furnished
us with the following particulars. The Lancaster,
left San Francisco on the 28th of June, bound to
Sydney and Melbourne, with a cargo consisting of
7504 bags of rice, 333 hbds. of ale and 50 flasks of
quicksilver, manifested of 32,000. After leaving
San Francisco, had strong northwest winds to lat. 30,
when the trades com menced. On the 8th of July,
the vessel was fouud to be leaking, there being two
feet of water in the hold when the leak was discov
ered, feiie was easily kept tree, However, r.y tne
pumps, but her course was changed, and she was
headed for Honolulu, in order to ascertain the cause
of the leak and repair damages, if necessary. On
Sunday, the 10th of July, about 12, M., the vessel
being then abreast of Molokai, the leak was found to
have increased, an.l on sounding, five feet of water
was found in the hold, lhe pumps were manneu
with all the crew, but the water continued to gain on
them, and on looking into the hold, the water was
found within eighteen inches of the decks. The boat
was then got out, the chronometer, ship's papers
and a few provisions put into it, anl the bark beaded
for the shore. After the officers and crew had en
tered the boat, it was found impossible to lie-to with
any safety by the vessel, owing to the heavy sea.
They therefore pulled in for the shore, the bark head
ing in shore also. The coast here being very bluff,
they had to row westward some fifteen miles before
they could find a place to land. Before reaching the
shore, the bark careened over and disappeared, but
whether she sank in deep water or struck the rocks
first, and went over, the captain does not know, but
thinks she must have struck bottom and then sank
in deep water, as the shore is very bold. Immedi
ately on landing, the captain procured a horse and
rode back to where he supposed the vessel was left,
but could discover no trace of her. After remaining
on Molokai over night, where they were kindly treat
ed by the natives, they set sail in their boat and
reached this port about 4 P. M.
The . B. Lancaster was owned in Philadelphia,
was six years old, an extreme clipper model, and cost
originally $35,000, but was insured in Philadelphia
for $20,000. We cannot learn that there was any in
surance on the cargo, which wasowned in San Francis
co or Sydney, a boat $15,000 of it being shipped by
Daniel Gibb & Co.
The Gas WoRK9.--we notice with pleasure, that
the fixtures for lighting the new Odd Fellows Hall
with gas, aro already being constructed, under tbe
supervision of the energetic management of W. H.
Tiffany. Esq. It is tbe intention of the company to
immediately break ground for the construction of the
works, which are to te erected near the corner of
Maunakea and King streets, on the site known as
the Bardick Premises, a location peculiary eligible
for the purpose. The well known go-ahead charac
ter of the company, leaves no room to doubt that the
work necessary to be prepared in order to have our
town lighted by gas the coming fall, will be executed
with all possible dispatch, and we trust that the in
troduction of gs here will be alike profitable to the
company and beneBcia1 to the public. There is uo
Other artificial light that can be compared with gas
light, and the cost is less than one-half of that for
light produced either by oil or candles, to say
nothing of the economy attending it, and the greater
security from fire.
Light Ahead. Our enterprising friend, G. W.
M acy, ship chandler of Kawaihae, seems determined
to keep to windward of his neighbors. We learn that
he is negotiating for. if he has not already purchased,
the gas works now in operation at the Commercial
Hotel, which he proposes removing to Kawaih.ie for
the purpose of furnishing ,a light at that station
for the accommodation of shipping. Such enterprise
deserves success, and we doubt not will be appreciat
ed, not only by seamen, but by the public generally.

A ew Hocsb or Wobshif. Our readers will re
member that during a severe Kona storm last year,
the church at Koloa. Kauai, was blown down. A

new edifice is now being erected on tue
one. In response to our inquiries,
the worthy pastor
of tbe church, Dr. J. W. Smith, gives us the follow
ing items in regard to it :
"The house is 64 feet long by 38 wide, and is to

are now patting on.

tured to incur debts a? above. It is not our inten
tion to complete the building immediately, but to en
close it and put in windows and doors anda floor,
and then we can occupy it awhile and rest."
It will be seen from the Dr.'s statement that the
expenses have already exceeded the receipts, and we
present the facts here in order that any of our
readers who are disposed to assist in the enterprise,
which now is in want of funds to meet current ex
penses, may do so. 'Donations forwarded to Koloa
will be welcome.
Dashaway Ci.cb. Agreeably with a notice in our
last paper, a large assemblage of persons interested
in the formation of a " Dashaway Society," met pa
Thursdav evenine last. A number of spirited ad
dresses were made, which showed that the work of
reform had been earnestly taken hold of. Another
meeting was held on Saturday evening, at which the
principal subject of discussion was, what the pledge
should be. Some diversity' of opinion appeared on
this question During the discussion a good deal - of
lively humor was evoked, and the result finally was,
the adoption of the following pledge :
" We, the undersigned, do'hereby pledge ourselves, each to the
nthrrt. inintlr and severally to abtiin from the use of any
xpirituout drinks, or intoxicating btverwje, inclu linsr, also,
Wines, Ale, Beer and I'orter, durine such space of time, as is
affixed to our several signatures, for the faithful performance
of which, we pledge our honors."
Twenty-three members have thus far joined the
" Dashaway Club." They bind themselves to a limit
ed period ranging from six to twelve months, some
of them donbting whether they can "stand it" for a
longer period. But really, if a man has the moral
courage to resist the intoxicating cup three months,
he surely can three years, if he only wills it.
"Where there's a will there's away." The earnest
ness with which tho movement has thus far been
characterizedspeaks well for the future. Another
meeting of the 61ub will be held on Saturday evening
next.
.OAnu Cemetery Association. An adjourned
meeting of the corporators of the "Oahu Cemetery
Association," was held on Monday evening, July 11,
at the Vestry Room of the Chipel. A majority being
present, the meeting was duly org mixed by Rev. S. C.
Damon being called to the Chair, and C II Lewers,
Esq.. beinz appointed Secretary. The Charter was
' read by Mr. Bates, and on motion of Judge Robert-
son, it was alopted. in accordance wim tne require
ments of he charter, the meeting proceeded to the
choice of seven Trustees, and the following gentlemen
were thereupon unanimously chosen :
A. B. Bates, Esq. C. C. Harris. Eq.
JCDOR ROBERTSOJf, Da. J. M- SMITH
C. II. Lewers, Esq. Db. II. Robinson,
William Ladd. Esq.
It was voted to invite the N. V. C. Association to
become merged into this incotporated society. After
some other business, voted to adjourn. We are glad
to see that the Cemetery Association is at length
fairly organized with an efficient Board of Trustees,
and we trust they will immediately take such steps as
will secure a new and enlarged burial ground for
Honolulu. The charter of the association will be
found in our advertising columns.

Large Potato. We omitted to notice last week
the receipt from Lahaina, of a monster sweet potato,
weighing 21J pounds. We sent it in to Mr. Cutre'l,
and it graced the 4th of July dinner. Mr. Baldwin,
of Lahaina, writes us that he has seen a sweet potato
which weighed 34 lbs. California can't beat that.
Young America Yacht. This pretty little mod

noon of that day had a trial of her sailing qualities

wind was not propitious for a fair trial, and another
will be had in a day or two.
"Stolex Sweets." We would acknowledge the
j receipt from the Sheriff of a half bag of stolen man
goes, which we advertised last week, but no owner
claimed. Boggs says that "the partaker is as bad as

his old saw to these mangoes.

fourteen out of the whole numbisold were immedi
ately taken to a place of execution where they under
