| Summary: | Published by the Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon from 1845 to 1885, The Friend focused on temperance and Christian mission to seamen. It began as a monthly newspaper that included news from both American and English newspapers, and gradually expanded to adding announcements of upcoming events, reprints of sermons, poetry, local news, editorials, ship arrivals and departures and a listing of marriages and deaths. From 1885 through 1887, it was co-edited by the Revs. Cruzan and Oggel. The editorship then passed to Rev. Sereno Bishop, who held the post until the publication of the paper fell under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in April of 1902 where it remained until June 1954. Since then, it has continued in a different format under the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ up to the present day, making it the oldest existing newspaper in the Pacific. Note that there are some irregularities in the numbering of individual issues, so that two issues may have the same volume and number, but different dates will distinguish them. ====-===-===-==== --- ====-=========-==:.::=:-~=-===-======-===-===-===-===-===-===-===-======-===========:=-===-==--====-======-===-=====~HONOLULU, AUGU~'f I, 1870. =====-===========================================================-=:.:::._=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-================~== CONTE1'1TS John Chinaman, the Sailor.

You hear of" John " in Paris, London, and especially in America. He has little to say about himself, but lets his friends and enemies do all the discussion. There was a time when he remained at home, and did not wish to go abroad but John Bull, Uncle Sam, and other civilized gentlemen, said this will never do, John, you must allow us to come and trade with your people, and you may come to our lands." These fine gentlemen thought he would not , go abroad; but he is very peculiar in. his habits and reasonings, and much given to money making and labor. He finally made up his mind to migrate, and now nothing will stop him. Go he will. Any law of Congress would no more stop his going over to America than~ a law would stop the sun shining, or the rain falling. He is much given to pushing his way. Talk about Anglo-Saxon enterprise! Yankee go-a-headitiveness is nothing compared with John's persistency in pushing his way through and around the world. He has appeared in a new role, that of a sailor. We hear of him now on board all the China steamers, and as having commenced climbing over the sides of the Panama steamers. He is displacing the stevedores at San Francisco ·and Sacramento. What does he care about the laws of Congress, declaring that American ships shall be navigated by American seamen?

WAR IN EuRoPE.-The news per Cornet was most startling. France has declared war against Prussia, and large armies are marching to the frontier, where a conflict will immediately ensue. From the news, it would appear that France is bent on war, and Prussia was taken wholly by surprise. The next mail will brmg most stirring intelHgence.

BRINDISI, ON TUE HEEL OF ITALY. As every schoolboy knows the conformation of the land known in geography DS Italy, resembles the shape of a man's boot. Brindisi is situated upon the heel. It is the ancient Brundusium, at the end of the Via Appia. Eighteen hundred years ago it was a seaport of vast importance and trade, under the Roman Republic and Empire. It wns the great naval port from which the Roman armies and fleets took their departure for Greece and the Orient. The harbor was excellent, and the city contained a busy f>Opulation. The harbor is described by Julius Cresar. Here that great Roman general blockaded his opponent, Pompey, and effectually closed up the harbor by sinking piles. He was more successful in closing the harbor than was the Federal Government of the United States in closing up that of Charleston. So succe~sful was Julius C~sar, that now, while we are writing these lines, here in Brindisi,-laborers are a,.t work in dredging the harbor, and rerµoving .the accumulation of the debris ofages.

When undergraduates are residing in Cambridge, they speak of themselves as members of this or that college, viz: "a St. John's man,'' "a Trinity man," "Caius man;" but when they have graduated and gone abroad into the world, they are no longer" Trinity," or "Caius," or " St. John's" men, but Cambridge men. It is somewhat so with American citizens; when at home, they are citizens of Massachusetts, or Ohio, or lllin~is, or South Carolina; but when abroad they are American citizens. The parallel m1ght be still further carried out, if l had the time and space. The University of Oxford will furnish an equally good illustration of the Republic of North America. The following are the names of the several colleges, with the number of students attached to each.

While there, I enquired of the young gentleman to whom I was introduced, "can you recommend any book which will explain the government of the University, and method ot instruction?" He replied, " the very best book on Cambridge was written by one of your countrymen, Mr. Everett, a graduate of Trinity." "What, do you refer to the volume entitled 'On the Uam '!'" "To be sure," was his reply. I recollect reading this book, before leaving Honolulu. It was the American edition, but I find a new and English edit10n has recently been published in London. I would recommend you to read that book and I purchased for you a copy at Cambridge. Young Everett, after graduating at "old Harvard," came over to England and entered Cambridge, where he remained through the regular course, graduating with high honors. After returning to Boston, he delivered a course of lectures before the These were publi~hed Lowell Institute. under the title " On the Cam, or University' Life at Cambridge." Mr. Everett is a son of the late Hon. Edward Everett of Boston. But I have broken off the narration of my rambles under my Cicerone. After leaving Jesus ColJege, we visited the parish church of All Saints, for the purpose of inspecting a monument; erected to Henry Kirk White. This church contains the grave of the much lamented youthful poet. It was somewhat gratifying to my national vanity to learn from . the old sexton of the church, that 'this monument was erected by an American gentleman, by the name of Boott. I learn from a Cambridge guide book, that this monurnen't was "executed by Chan trey, and exhibits, within a medallion, the portrait of the poet in bas-relief.'' There is a poetical inscription upon the monument from the pen of Professor Smyth. The inscription is too long for me to quote entire, but it closes thus: far o'er th' Atlantic wave, A wanderer came, and sought the poet's grave, On yon low stone he saw his lonely name, And raised this fond memorial to his fame." Jesus College is situated in the suburbs of Cambridge. Returning from my walk in that direction, I was conducted to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. This is an edifice of great antiquity, having been consecrated A. D. 1101. It is considered one of the notable structures of Cambridge. It has been restored within a few years, and doubtless furnishes a good specimen of the Norman style of architecture. From thence I wandered through various courts and grounds belonging to King's, St. John's, and Trinity Colleges. I cannot describe each, but suffice it, I was exceedingly pleased with the venerable and time-honored appearance of these ancient seats of learning. The weather was so severe, that but few students were seen abroad 1 except those going or returning, with a hurried pace, from their lecture room, or from some locality where they might find good skating • I was much interested in viewing the 0 niversity Library, containing upwards of , 400,000 printed books, and about 3,000 manuscripts. There I saw the famous manuscript of the four gospels, and the book of Acts, on vellum, in Greek and Latin. With the exception of a manuscript in the Vatican Library, at Rome, this is regarded as the most ancient. There also I saw a famous and splendid Persian manuscript, dating as far back as 138~. I was pleased to see how admirably this library was lighted. While .walking through the dining hall of Trinity, and viewing a number of portraits of patrons, and graduatms of this college, my attention was arrested by the modest and unambitious portrait of the saintly Henry Martyn. There was no one among the 75 ======================================== illustrious worthies of Trinity, whose portrait interested me so much. His character may not find admirers among the generality of Cambridge graduates and under graduates but I am sure no one name is more honored throughout the Church universal than that of HENRY MARTYN, or among the thousands who have claimed the honor of graduating from Cambridge University. fo. order that you may see the foundation of that honest pride which swells the breast of every Cambridge student, let me note down some of the illustrious names associated with the different colleges : Bacon, Barrow, Dryden, Newton, Macaulay, were Trinity students. Ben Jonson, Prior, Akenside, Henry Kirke White and Wordsworth, were St. John's. Lawrence Sterne and Samuel Taylor Coleridge were connected with Jesus CollP.ge. Milton belonged to Christ's College. When you read" On the Carn," additional reasons will be suggested to your mind why Cambridge Alumni are proud of their Alma Mater. The library of. Trinity well merits a passing notice. The books are most admirably arranged, and the spacious hall is well lighted. There are in this library interesting relics associated with the name of Sir Isaac Newton. Besides many portraits and busts, there is a fine statue of Lord Byron, much admired. The poet is represented in a sitting posture, holding in his left hand a book, inscribed "Childe Harold.'' Thoughtful meditation seems impressed upon the marble countenance. The view of the statue brought to mind the bitter controversy which has been raging the last four months on hoth sides of the Atlantic, in regard to Byron's character. Whatever may be the truth upon the subject, Byron, near the close of life, expressed himself in a . manner indicative of inward remorse. Take the lines he wrote on his last birth-day: "My tlays are in th e yellow leaf. The flowers and Jruits of love are gone, The worm, the cauker, anti the grief Are mine alone: The fire that in my bosom preys Is lone as some volcanic islt> j No torch i~ kindled at its bla,,;e, A funeral pile. So I might dwell long and pleasantly in recording my reflections, suggested by a visit to Cambridge. It was a day which l sh11Jl never forget. After dis111issing,- my cicerone, I repaired to the apartments occupied by the young gentleman to whom I · was recommended. He had returned from his medical lecture. He gave me a student's welcome, and, in company with his brother, a law student, I sat down to a generous lunch, served up in his own room. You must remember, with the exception of one meal a day, the students have their food sent to their I 7_6 __-_--=-~ --- __________ _ !}~ t F It I E N D, ~1 -~_!! own apartment, from the public kitchen. The remainder of the day was spent in free convetimtion r~specting 'university-life at · Cambridge, in contrast with the life of an undergraduate in American colleges. They had many enquiries to make, while I had not a few in turn, which gave rise to much plearnnt chat. Upon this point I became fully sa.tisfied that Cambridge, with all its advantages and privileges, is not to remain where it now is, butchanges are contemplated. Even now, a notice is published in the newspapers, that young ladies will be admitted to the privileges and lectures of the University. At the present sitting of Parliament a bill is to be introduced, allowing the sons of Dissenters to enter their names for University honors. The general 11n pression abroad in England, is that the expenses are too much, and steps will soon be taken for their reduction. At present, the annual expenses of undergraduates range from £250 to £400, or $1.250 to 2.000. But I have. already protracted my lett@r much longer than I designed, and yet I could easily write as much more. During all my wanderings in foreign lands, the subject of education has constantly occupied my mind; hence, in Egypt, Palestine, Greece, and Italy, I visited all the schools and colleges which fell in my way. While the young student may enjoy many advantages ang privileg2s in these old lands, yet I am fully convinced that the young collegian in a New England c·o llege may obtain as good an education, to fit him for the duties of life, in this practical age, i:is those who are pursuing their studies in Cambridge, ·o r any other equally favored European University. So vivid are my recollections of Amherst, that I will not admit her inferiority among the colleges of America, or the world. To be sure, she has not the glory of antiquity, hut she has the vigor of youth, ripening into the glory of manhood. Her Alumni, at home and abroad, reflect honor upon their Alma Mater, and I trust you will do your part in sustaining the honor of the college•, and in elev~ting the character of her scholarship.

"Remember the SabbHth Day to Ueep it Iloly." Thus spake God to Moses more than Lhree thousand years ago; and previo11sly at the creation of the world, God had "blessed the seventh day and sanctified it."-Genesis 2:2. We do not discover from our reading and study of the Bible, that God has given up his claim to one-seventh part of time as "holy time," or has annulled his command given upon Sinai. Until he does, we sh0uld be very cautious how we alter or modify it, any more than we should the 6th, "Thou shalt not kill," or the 8th, ·' Thou ~halt not steal."

New Theory about Peopling America. Our readers will learn from reading in another column of the l r}iend, that the Rev . Dr. Lang thinks the Continent of America was peopled by the way of Baster Island. Since that article was put into type, we have received a communication from Ohjo, in which tfu.e theory is advanced that America was peopled by the lost ten tribes of ' the Jews. We quote as follows: '' You tljly possibly remember that one pa,rt of my business while at Honolulu (this visit occurred in 1850) was collecting evidence touching the long missing ten tribes of the Hebrews. Before and since I saw you, it has been my lot to collect much information on this subject. It seems to me that there are evidences existing to estabfo,h the following statements. 1st. From more than eighty items of evidence, it may be inferred that the Indians of America are descendants of the ten tribes. 2d. The Asiatic Tartars, Japanese, and many of the inhabitants of Eastern Polynesia, arc of the same descent as the Indians. 3d . Since the forefathers of the Indians came, more than forty ot the Old Testament prophecies have been fulfilled in this country. These subjects are interes ting, as they have a strong bearing on the future return of a very large number of the human family to Palestine." This writer does not intimate by what ·route he imagines the first inhabitants of America reached the Continent, but probably via the Aleutian Island:-,. The more clos~ly maintain the observance of the Sabbath, the better will public morals and the welfare of the community be conserved. We do not approve of the Beecher theory as published in the Aclvertism· of the 30th of July. It is just such a theory as will sanction all sorts of railroad and steamboat desecration. No such theory gave the Christian Sabbath to Old or New England, or Hawaii nei. Give up the strict observance of the Sabbath, and the flood gates of sin are thrown wide open.

As the Friend circulates among seamen of all nations navigating the P.:1cifi~, we have most scrupulously a voided expressing any opinion with reference to the conduct of Captain Eyre, of the Bombay, until the fa.cts should be duly investigated and decided upon in England. We have carefully read every thing which has appeared in both American and English •papers. From the general tone of the English papers, we felt confident, that if Captain Eyre was really guilty of gross negligence, he would receive a verdict from his own countrymen, which would be most severe. That verdict has been pronounced, and the London .Times asserts ·it to be the general opinion of the English nation. That verdict is embodied in the following paragraph:-The London 1'intes sa vs, " The corres pondence relative to the·collision between the Oneida and the Bumbay, and the official notes and evidence in the inquiry held at Yokohama, have just been printed by order of the House of Commons, and every one has the opportunity of learning the facts and judging the case for himself. The general opinion; we are sorry to say, must be that the most unfavorable view taken of Mr . Eyre's conduct in this country is the most consistent with truth. We have waited with an earnest hope that something would appear to extenuate his culpability and to remove the stigma which throug-h him had been fixed on the humanity of British seamen. But, though the distorted versions of the story current in the United States may be set aside, enough remains to shew that beyond a doubt the death of the 112 persons who were lost with the Oneida is to be ascribed to the negligence of the captain of the B ombay. Thi~ verdict, we regard, under the circumstances, as far more severe than any thing which has appPared in the American papers. As the case is one which will be most thoroughly discussed in a l! seafaring circle s, and among seamen generally, we specially wou Id hope that the lesson is one which will not be without its moral effect est whisper borne upon the breeze. British seamen have hitherto had a bright record and this sad instance will not obliterate the remembrance of past acts of kindness and numanity. The Chinese in iUas~achusctt s . Seventy-five laborers have reached North Adams Mass, a nd been employed to make shoes. It has created a great excitement among the members of the "St. Crispin'R" associations. ·From a 1\1.Lissachusetts paper -the Spy-we quote as fol lows : "The white shoemakers of the town are in a high state of wrath, but see no way of venting it effectually. The Crispic1 association is very strong here, there being four or five other large shops, and have hitherto had every thing their own way and carried every thing with a high hand. A prominent leader of the order from Boston is here, and the Crispins are hoiding a secret meeting to-night, but it is not thought probable anything serious will be done to disturb Mr. Sampson's arrangements, as the sentiments of the community at large are so strongly with him. The threats which are made promise all the enormities of Sheffield, but courage to carry them out is probably lacking." The stream having once comrnenced to flow, it will not cease. Chinese laborers will spread throughout the United States. "John Chinamen" is the coming man in Ameri<'a. He is shrewd, industrious, savi,ng, naturally given to traffic, and is bound to work his way, and only asks to be 1et alone. There will be a violent opposition to this movement, but should not Chinamen be allowed to go to any part of the United :States and there reside, engaging in labor or trade, if American citizens are allowed to visit China? It is a poor rule that will not work both ways. The treaty stipulations, between China and the United States, guai-antee to Chinamen this right. We think the day has come to an end, when the Anglo-Saxon can go to all parts of the world, and there z, buy, sell and get gain," unlef-s, in turn, he is willing "all parts of the world " may visit. America and Europe for the same purpose. The world is moving. .DIED. 77 I 8 7 0. upon the .comrnunity at larg·e. lt is a most LovE-OnSaturUay,.July2d, ofintlarnn1;t. ~ ~ ilieh ~ri~, striking example of the guilt and criminality ~ ~fi~/• infant sou of Willilun and Lctecia Love, aged 13 1 attending ·neglect or duty, or rie:-,o-lect to shew MARKHAM-On Friday evening, July 8th, Wll,LIA~t A. , eltl• est son of Wm.

THE FRIEND. AUGUST, 1870. Editor's Table. PRE-HISTORIC NATIONS, or Inquiries concerning some of the great peoples and civilizations of Antiquity, and their probable relation to a still older civilization of the Ethiopians, or Cushites of Arabia. -By J. D. Baldwin, A. l\1. New York: Harper & Co. 1869. THE ORIGIN AND MIGRATION OF THE POLYNESIAN NATION. Three Lectures before the Royal Society of New South Wales, September, 1869.-By Rev. D. Lang, D.D., of Sydney and published in the Sydney Morning Herald. We find our table, this month, furnished with two publications, upon the same general subject,-the migration of nations-but written and printed on the opposite sides of the globe. These two publications indicate the nature of the historical researches which are now pursued by scholars in various parts of the world. They are no longer satisfied with "Rollin's Ancient History," "Goldsmith's Greece," or with the theory of archbishop Usher-that Adam was created just 4,004, before the Christian era. Mr. Baldwin, author of "Pre-historic Nations," is editor of a daily newspaper, the Massachusetts Spy, published in Worcester, Massachusetts, and, by the way, one of the very oldest papers in America, commenced in 1771, or 99 years ago. Amid the hurry and pressure of a daily newspaper office, it is a little remarkable that Mr. Baldwin finds time to pursue his researches into, not only the history of ancient nations, but the r.ondition of nations which flourished and decayed, long ages prior to Heroditus, styled the father of history. He advocates the idea that writers for two thousand years have paid too much deference to the Greeks, regarding them as the founders of learning, whereas there were highly civilized, enlightened and refined nations-the Egyptians, the Phrenicians-long before the days of tae Greeks and Romans. Although we may not coincide with all his theories and reasonings about those oldBr nations, yet we have been much interested in his book. lt is worthy of the careful perusal of the scholar and divine. Perhaps we may account for Mr. Baldwin's ability and versatility from the fact, that in early life, we believe he was a minister of the gospel, but his health failed, and he became an editor, and a representative in congress. The author of the other publication is the widely known preacher and philanthropist, the Rev. Dr. Lang, of Sydney, who has for the last forty years occupied so conspicuous a position in the Presbyterian church, and the politics of the Australian colonies. Nearly forty years ago, or in 1834, he published a work entitled "View of the origin and migrations of the Polynesian nation : demonstrating their ancient discovery, and settlement of the continent of America." This book attracted much attention, and awakened a deep interest at the date of its publication. It was reviewed by the Rev. Mr. Armstrong, in tbe Hawaiian Spectator, 1839, where our readers may find a good sketrh of the write~'s theories. These lectures, now published in the Sydney j}forning .lierald, are a resume of that book, in wh1ch the writer not only re-affirms his former opinions, but illustrates them by additional information. The main theories of Dr. Lang are, that Polynesia was peopled by the Malay race, and furthermore, when the migratory inhabitants of Polynesia had reached Easter Island, situated in 27th degree of south latitude, and about 1800 miles from the coast of Chili, South America, tha't from thence some of the inhabitants passed over to the main land, and peopled South America, and pushed their way northward to Mexico. Dr. Lang claims to be the author or originator of this interesting theory. Our limits will allow us only to hint at thi~ the_ory, but it is one worthy of the careful consideration of the scholar, divine, and historian. Jn Mr. Baldwin's book, we find many allusions to the theories that America was visited by the Northmen, and even Phrenicians, many centuries and ages prior to the discovery by Columbus. It is a little remarkable that both the authors now under review, are now, or have been, ministers of the gospel-both editors -both members of legislative assembliesthe one at Washington, and the other in New South Wales-and both are veteran literary workers and scholars. Rev. Dr. Lang's theory about peopling of the American continent :_:__ "My theory, therefore, is thai the American continent was first reachP.d on its West coast. about the latitude of Copiapo, in the States of Chili, by a few natives of Easter Island, in the Southern Pacific, who had been accidentally blown off from the land by one of those strong westerly gales that are so prevalent in that ocean, and were thereby driven back to America. It is possible, indeed, that a canoe in such circumstances, coming at h>ngth within the influence of the southerly wind that prevails for a great part of the year along the west coast of South America, would be carriPd northward to the coast of Peru, which is separated from that of Chili by the desert of Atacama. Chili and Peru were, therefore, in all likelihood the first portions of the American continent that were ever occupied and settled by man. From thence, in the cemrse of ages, emigration would extend northwards, eastwards, and £outhwards; traversing and dispersing its germs of population over Central America and the islands of the Caribbean Sea : ascending and occupying the elevated plateau of Mexico; stemming the currents of the Mississippi and its mighty tributaries to the lakes of Canada, and the frozen shores of Hudson's Bay; penetrating into the dark forests of the Brazils, and stretching O}lt to the straits of Magellan, and the faminestricken shores of Terra del Fuego. In short, my theory is that the aborigines of America are all one people, from North to South and from East to West; and as the three continents of Europe, Asia, and Africa, were peopled successively by the descendants of the eight persons who landed on Mount Ararat fron, the good ship, the Ark, so I firmly believe that both continents of America were peopled by the descendants of the handful of famished Polynesians who had survived the voyage from Easter Island to the West Coast of America.'' Death and Burial of Cha.-Ies Diclrnns. All the Eastern papers contain full and appreciative notices of Mr. Dickens. His death occurred June 9th, and at six o'clock on the morning of July 11, his remains were conveyed from his residence at Gael's Hill, by train to Charing Cross station. There awaited at the station a plain hearse, without the usua 1 trappings, and three plain coaches. In the first coach were placed the children of the deceased, Charles and Harry Dickens, Mrs. Dickens, and Mrs Charles Collins. In the second were Mrs. Hogarth, sister-in-law of Mrs. Austen, sister of Mr. Dickens, Mrs. Charles Dickens, Jr, and John Foster. In the third coach were Frank Beard, Charles Collins, Mr. Owery, Wilkie Collins, and Edmund Dickens. The entire party were attired in deep but simple mourning, without bands or scarfs. There wris no crowd at Charing Cross station, and the procession was driven at once to Westminster Abbey, where the re- , mains were received by Dean Stanley and other officials, and placed in the poet's corner, at the toot of Handel and head of Sheridan, with Macauley and Cumberland on either side. The usual flowers were strewn upon the bier, Dean ~Hanley read the burial ser~ice, the coffin was deposited in its final resting place, and the funeral of Dickens was ended. Upon the coffin plate were inscribed the words: " CHARLES DICKE.NS, Born February 7th, 1812, Died June 9th, 1870. Thousands of citizens have crowded to the AbbPy during the day, to look upon the spot where the great novelist rests. TIIE COMING EvEsT or Freedom and Independence for the seven United Provinces of Australia. From a private source, we learn this to be the name of a new book, about to be published in New South Wales. The senti111ent is rapidly growing in the colonies, that they have only to ask for their independence and it will be immediately granted. "GREEKS, MY DEAR, GREEKs."-N ot long since, two Hawaiian Britons were traveling In order not to be on an English railway. understood by their fellow-travelers, they spoke to each other in the Hawaiian dialect. Of course all were eager to know what language it might be, when one English lady remarked to her companion, "Greeks, my dear, Greeks." and went into the Hospital with a sore leg, as that was the las• we heard from him through Captain Clark, of the A.tberni.
