| 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. !Jciu .§eriest l!Jol. 2fi, ~O'. it.

I find myself straying into odd, wandering streets, narrow and dark, to some perhaps, and yet to others bright with gleams of light which grow more and more vivid as one hears the story w hich they are so willing to tell to ?im. Then there is the Geneva of to-day, bright, sparkling, beautiful, even i-n winter, and wonderfully so in summer. Here too, is the fairest Jake in all the world, where glorious mountains love to mirror themselves. Its shores are musical with famous names and incidents, and for all who come it has some special message . Is there any. need to wonder after after all why every one longs once to see Geneva, and seeing it once to come again? l have been interested lately in glancing at some pages in a French book on Lausaune, where the efforts of the great Vinet were so strongly felt, while scientific thought during this century, flowered and bore fruit in Gen~va, it is in Lausaune, farther up the lake, that we find the deep, fervid religious movement of some of the most earnest and gifted men of their time. How one revels in all these thought-associations which girdle the lake. S~lr THE winter, are yearning for their white, rosy draperies. And the grand old oaks, (whose splendid forms have been revealed, not concealed, by the long wreaths of ivy which have made you forget, however, the absence of leaves,) will join this glad summer company rulers of them all. The suows still he low on the Alps, but the fields are full of busy workmen, and long furrows lie open to the kindly touch of the sunlight. Daily new faces are to be seen upon the streets, heralds of that company which makes Geneva one of the gayest cities in all Europe-in July and August. IN THE 1\IARKET. On Wednesday and Saturday mornings one of the principal streets in the city is fairly alive with. buyers and sellers, and furJ nishes a most characteristic and interesting spectacle. Each side of the long winding street is lined with tiny booths, where the sellers shout the praises of their respective goods in the mo5t eloquent French. The market women, with. white caps or straw hats, which seem the relics of past generations, are busy with their knitting-and knit and talk and sell all at once. Great baskets of fruits and vegetables; stands of meats and game, of butter and cheese, for which Switzerland is so celebrated, are to be seen in every direction. And of late the flowers have added a new and beautiful feature to the show. You can find everytr.ing, from the little bunches of primroses and violets which the girls have gathered in the fields, still fresh and dewy, to the rarest of roses and camelias. To the market come all the house-keepers of Geneva, and it is the most democratic place in the city, every one is brimful of eager talk, and all up and down the street passes and repasses this animated procession, which seems more like a crowd on a fete day than a company of people busy about the most ·practical employment of the day. Few subjects Qf public or private interest but are here discussed, and he who would know the hearts of the people should often find his way to the market place. WATCH·M:AKING. Geneva is famous all the world over for its watches, and the majority of people who have never stopped to think or read about its mountains and lake are fully acquainted with the advantages of a watch from this city. It is said that time-pieces were manufactured here as early as the sixteenth century, and from that time to this it has been one of the leading trades of Geneva. To a stranger on entering the city, the box-like roofs of glass on many of the houses are very singular and striking. Here the busy workmen sit and work at their delicate trade, for which they require the most perfect light. Here you will see men whose fathers ar.d grandfathers before them devoted their lives to the same business and passed it on a~ a kind of heritage to them. Whole families sometimes occupy themselves in the work and they feel the greatest pride in doing their work in the most perfect and complete manner posbible. In this democratic republic many of the best citizens have been identified with the occupation and sometimes they have risen to position~ of eminence in the State: Here a rose the " School of Watch-making" FRIEND, JUNE, 187'1. which has a world-wide fame and a diploma from which was so highly prized. Its branches of study are worthy of notice, as they embrace mathematics, designing. paintmg, engraving, polishing and setting of precious stones, enamelling, and chemistry. The trained manufacturer must know the general principles of each. lt has resulted trom this vigorous anrl exact discipline that the workmanship has been of the highest kind. There are annually manufactured here about one hundred and fifty thou$and watches. But of late years the splendid success of the large American manufacturies has been a great blow to the industry here. • I visited lately the famous establishment of lVlessrs. Patek, Phillipe & Co., where I had an opportunity of seeing on how extensive a scale the manufacture is conducted by a single house. You go up flight after flight until you are almost dizzy with the windings. On each floor is seen some new and interesting development in the growth of this knowing little article. Few persons realize how much labor is expended on a watch before it is ready for sale. There are fourteen different processes in hinging, ornamenting and burnishing the case, etc. Then come forty-seven more for the skilled work. Then the dia 1, demands ten, and the diamond setting five more. One feels a sort of reverence for his watch every time he glances at it and realizes that it has undergone the deft and patient touch of 76 distinct artists and artisans. Then vou are shown how watches are heated aod fr~zen to insure them against all changes of temperature. And whole trays of glittering watches are spread out before you in such profusion that you are almost confused at the sight. There are round, awkward silver watches, so uncomfortably big and bulky and looking as much out of place amid the glitter and sheen of gold and diamonds as that great, bronzed peasant who is passing would in a French drawing room, and the other extreme is a tiny watch with enamelled case, that you could hide under your finger. This belongs to a Rm~sian Princess and is valued at five Then follow rich but thousand francs. simple cases in gold; and then more pretentious ones crusted with diamonds and pearls, with elaborate crests and monograms. There are quaint and tiny watches hidden away under the form of a helmet, or hanging in a pendant ball to a chain and watches in rings, or others that chime the hours most musically or are marvels of skillful and inventive ability, the dial being a perfeet maze of little, darting hands and wise figures. You are shown too great boohs with the history of the making of each watch, and the ,persons to whom they have been sold. How interesting it would be if we could follow over the wide world the thousands and thousands of watches that have gone out from this one establishment which we have been visiting? FERNEx, THE HOME OF VOLTAIRE. One cannot picture a greater contrast between two men than between Calvin, the reformer and Voltaire, the scoffer. Yet they have both rendered the same city famous and he who visits the Rue de Chanoines and the Cathedral of St. Pierre visits generally Fernex where Voltaire oo.d for so mauy • 43 years his chateau. It is a most charming drive or walk from the town, just within the French Frontier. The snowy-line of the Jura faces you as you go, and the grand plain which lies at their base stretches out to right and left dotted with little villages an<J country seats. I can remember that as a child I felt that there must be some peculiarity to mark the passage from one country to another, that somehow one would instinctively know that he had passed from Switzerland into France but the two republics, Protestant and Catholic, lie very peaceably side by side and the "diligence" carries vou from one to the other in the most matte·r of fact of manner. Voltaire first lived nearer Geneva at the "Delices," where he opened his theatre and undertook to efface if possible the institutions established by Calvin and to place in their stead a brilliant worldJiness. In 1759 he removed to Fernex which was then a collection of a few houses, but owing to the vast extent of his influence and his almost imperial sway it rapidly grew to be a villaae of considerable size. A noble avenue l~ads up from the high road to the chateau which stands a little back. There is nothing at all striking about the building itself, but in the palmy days of its sceptical owner it was the most famous point in Europe, casting Palaces of Kings and Emperors in the shade. There is something marvelous in the way in which he ruled, courted and flattered by the reno~ned and titled, feeding his prodigiou:5 vanity on the fulsome praise of these embasies which gathered at his court, and dazzled th~ _eyes of _the simple villages by their bnlhant equipages. From this point he dp.rted his satiric shafts at the austnities of Geneva, and strove to lead the youth of the quiet city at his bidding. His bed room and sitting room still remain as he left them , and the visitor is still shown the mausoleum which the Marchioness de Villette intended to contain his heart. The garden with its splendid view of Mont Blanc is interesting and here you see the arbour where the trag-edy of '' Irene" was composed. Voltaire built a chapel, placing over the entrance "Deo erexit Voltaire," as some one has said "with incredible arl'ogance, by way of informing the world at large, that the creature d~d the_ Crea tor the honor of acknowledg·inghis existence and Was finally reconciled to him." The building is near the chateau but ~ith the lapse of tim~ has been changed rnto a farm house. fhe relics are few in number but the greatness of the name which is connected with them draws many to Fernex "the mecca of unbelievers." It is a visit, however, which is full of reminders of a iife of bitterness, sarca::;m, irreverence and ~isregard of that which in religion is of the highest value to the Christian believer. From Fernex Voltaire removed to PariH where he died not ldrtg after a prey to the most distre~sing tears, his death serving as the strongest argument aaainst the doctrines and teachings of his life. Undoubtedly others will arise to mislead and delude the generations, but they shall not stay the advance of righteousness and Christianity in the world, but vanish as Voltaire has done. F. W.

Dr. Thomas Hill, has discovered a new method, or has ·invented an instrument by which navigation will be essentially improved and aided. The instrument is manufactured by C. H. Farley of Portland, Maine, "It solves instantly by mere inspection, without the use of tables, any problem in spherical trigonomitry, with sufficient accuracy for the principal problems of practical navigation. It requires •no more time and no more mathematics to work out an observation by this instrument than to take tbe sun with the sextant. Thus, with a sextant, chronometer and Na.utigon, the navigator needs no logarithmic tables." -- --- ·--- - rr::r We would gratefully acknowledge, the c ommunication from W. M.

But no word recent tragic fate of Captam Cook had left came, and Kings and Emperors had passed no sinister impres5ions, an<l as La Perouse away, till in 1827, when Charles X, brother was earnest in carrying out the humane of Louis XVl, was King, there came news instructions of his sovereign in his dealing of the fate of La Perouse. The discovery with the natives, he passed through this was made by Capt Dillon an English trader Archipelago without any loss or unpleasant cruising among the groups of islands to the encounter. eastward of Australia. He found a sword There is a tradition among the 11atives of hilt in the hands of a native at Tucopia or Lanai , which would lead to the supposition Tikopia; an if'la~1d lying between the Solomon and New Hebrides Archipelagoes, and was told that more such articles could be found among islands lying farther north . As he was bound for India, he reported on arrival the interesting relic to the Governor of Bengal. The evidences of a monogram and crest satisfied both Governor and Captain that this sword hilt had belonged to La Perouse. The intelligent and enlightened Governor remembering the appeal of the Assembly of France, and thr, long anxiety of her people, at once fitted out a vessel at his own expense, which he named the "Research," and placed Dillon in command. He returned to the points indicated, and whilst examining the coral reefs that line the shores of Vanikoro, one of the islands of the group named Santa Cruz, he observed in the translucent waters as he boated along nu•erous articles of iron and brass, rings, bars, bolts, cannon, and a bell with the nam e of the foun·dry at Brest plainly legible. Here were unmistakeably the relics of the wreck of" L' Astrolabe" and "La Boussole." A few particular~ were reluctantly obtained from fearful old savages of the island. They said that both ships h:1d struck at once. That the chief of the whites stayed with his people some time on the island,and after many had died, a portion of the strangers sailed away in a boat of their own construction. But the opinion of Captain Dillon was that La Prouse and his men had been destroyed by the savages. There wa8 no trace of any foreign work or residence on shore. It was evident that the ::ihips must have speedily gone to pieces on a far outlaying reef, and that the shipwrecked people, could not have passed through a long line of dangerous surf and reached the shore with any means of subsistence or defence in their hands. And as these savages of Vanikoro had been in the habit of destroying castaways, it is not likely that they would spare the brave navigator who was at one time the hope of France, any more than any other sailor. The observations of Capt. Dillon were fully confirmed shortly afterwards by Capt. Dumont d'U rville, who m another Frenchship of war named " L' Astrolabe," visited Vanikoro in 1828. He erected a stone obelisk near the scene of the wreck, and placed on it this inscription, inscribed on a metal tablet : "A la memoire de La Perouse et de ses compagnon s. L'Astrolabe 14 Mars, 1828." The relics of the lost frigates were transported to France. They were arranged in the form of an obelisk, with the bronze bell of La Perouse's ship on top, and placed at the entrance of the Marine Museum of the Louvre, in Paris. There I saw them in 1854, but the communists and the petroleuses distui'bed them during the latest furies of a mob, whose fathers martyrized the good King Louis, and who perhaps would not have spared,--had he returned home alive when looked for,-the aristocratic, though famous navigator, Count Gal a un de la Pc rouse.
