It is a chronic cause of complaint that the Honolulu people will spend money generously for almost any thing but their intellectual improve ment. It seems to be more careful ness, of their purses than carelessness of their mental necessities that is at the bottom of this reproach, for whenever no admission fee is charged there are thronging audiences. Yet the last thing in the world one who knows them would lay to the charge of the residents of Honolulu is stingi ness. Therefore, we dismiss the idea of offering any such explanation of the difficulty of getting a large audience to pay its way in to an .entertainment of a solid nature. It is not our intention, however, to further discuss previous derelictions, but to give two or three reasons why there should be a full attendance ac corded the lecture on Japan in the Y. M. C. A. Hall this evening. In the, first place a larc intellectual treat is promised. Those who know attribute to Gen. Van Buren rare powers as a platform speaker. That he will do justice to his talents on this occasion may be expected, from the familiarity with his subject he must possess. His prominent posi tion, as Consul of the United States, in the chief commercial city of Japan, cannot but have afforded him the best facilities a foreigner could have for correct observation of the people and their peculiarities. Then the subject itself is of intense inter est to the people of this country, of every class, at the present time, when the arrival of nearly a thou sand Japanese, and the promise of more, makes it important that we should understand this new clement of our population, and so act as to make the accession beneficial, in the highest attainable degree, to all con cerned. Lastly, the Library and Beading Room Association, to whom the credit is due of procuring the promised treat, is the creditor of Honolulu for a heavier debt of use fulness, iuiinitcly, than tho sum of to-night's admission, fees could liquidate, even if it was presented withoutthc assurance that each con tributor would get full value for his pittaucc on tho spot. The reputa tion of the community is at stake in a multifold degree. Save it by going to hear Gen. Van Buren on Japan this evening. EDITORIAL NOTES. Vast frauds upon the United States revenue are threatened to bo dis closed, in the shape of undervalua tion of silks in European invoices. That is one of tho fruits of a pro tective tariff. According to Mr. F.L. Clarke's ab stract of thfi census, the population of the Hawaiian Islands is eighty thousand flvo hundred and seventy eight, not counting tho last imraigra Mod of Portuguese and the pine bun tired nnd odd Japanese just arrived. ' Tills is a Inroor population than pic- vious tlmnlci allowed. A dedino . . ., it i .i I shown (o lie still operating in the unlive inee, hut the decrease is I In smaller ratio than that of the me- . t .. i j vnus nertoi . so inui an upward turn is not beyond hope. . . . , shake tho I Absconding debttns may dust of Honolulu oft their feet, but they must carry uwny loads of it in their clothes, eyes, ears, nostrils and lungs. For so much consolation let their mourning creditors be thankful. MEMORIAL SERVICE. Yesterday morning the services in the Bethel Union Church were dedi cated to tho memory of the late Rev. Samuel Chencry Damon, D. D., for over forty years pastor of that con gregation. An audience of about 230 filled the ground floor pews and overflowed into the galleries. Decor ations were few and simple, but in excellent taste. At the hack of the pulpit, in white, megonias, was tho device S. C. D. 181.1-1885. The desk was coveted with crape, with a wtcatli of white roses running along the margin. A large bouquet of calla liljes set in ferns adorned the front panelling of the pulpit. After appropriate preliminary devo tions, the Rcr. Mr. Oggel, pastor, preached the memorial sermon, from Gen. 5 :24, " He walked with God : and he was not; for God took him." Enoch had f-evcral children, showing that the cares of a family are in no way incompatible with a high spirit uality and n life of pre-eminent con secration to God. A few words apostrophizing such friendship with God as Enoch enjoyed, and the preacher entered upon a succinct biography of tho subject of memorial. Of Dr. Damon it might also be said, " lie walked with God." Born in Iloldcn, Mass., Feb. 15th, 1815, he had professed faith in the Re deemer at the age of fourteen, an example the preacher urged all the young to follow, for a life entrusted to tho Lord Jesus, and by him directed, must in the highest sense be a success. Dr. Damon was edu cated at Amherst College, Mass., and Princeton Seminary, New Jersey. Among his fellows in those institu tions were Gov. Bullock. Judge Doolittle, Dr. Hitchcock, Dr. Stuart Robinson of Kentucky, Dr. B. M. rainier of New Orleans, Dr. R. S. Storrs and Rev. IlCnry Ward Beccher of Brooklyn. Dr. Damon had a definite aim in life, and like Augus tine and Milton, Galileo and Luther, called to their respective tasks, was directed to preach the gospel of Jesus. His father had designed him fdt business, but he on his knees consecrated himself to the missionary work, and later called this his second conversion. He was ordained a minister Sept. 15, 1841 ; married Oct. G, 1811, to Julia Sherman Mills, his faithful amd loving companion to the last. His. first intention, to go a missionary to India, was relinquished upon being asked to take tho place of Rev. John Diell, the first chaplain at this port of tho American Sea men's Friend Society, that gentle man having died at sea. Arriving here with his wife on Oct. 19, 1842, this had thenceforth been his home aud ficjd of labor. This chaplaincy was the great work of his life. From his lamented, predecessor's jubilee sermon, the preacher gave facts to show the magnitude of the labors of such a position in tho first and larger part of Dr. Damon's incumbency. Between 1842 and 18G7, at tho lowest estimate 0,000 seamen an nually entered this port. During those years, he had testified, his labors were abundant and sometimes beyond his strength. Mero statis tics, however, could not measuro the value of his work, owing to the mul tiplying and expanding power of tho gospel. Those receiving a Bible, a tract, a Friend, or even a word to 'awaken good memories, would com municate, in many instances, tho beneficent influences to others on the wide waters. Dr. Damon's labors as editor of the Friend from its starting in 18415 to nearly the end of his life, his pastoral work in the Bethel Union, his writings upon Micronesian missions the noted "Morning Star Papers" and his numberless public-spirited services to tho community, were all in turn alluded to, also his recent visit to tho Orient.
