el,” talking with passengers bound to
‘the uttermost [tarts ot tlie earth,”
such as New Zealand aud Australia,
and sleeping the delicious sleep that
the gentle rocking oi the waves of the
grandest of the great seasof our planet
promotes in the owner of art easy, or
a toughened, conscience; these are
the recollections of the voyage.
The impressions of Honolulu are
singular enough to me who sees it for
the first time. The picturesque houses
of the natives are rather handsome ;
but the proportion of buildings in the
European style is large, and is rapidly
increasing. I came to the “Hiwaiian
Hotel” kept by Mr. Allen Herbert,
who advertises that he will “spare no
pains to make his elegant hotel First
Class.” I have not had cognizance ol
his “pains;” but really his house if
very comfortable. I should, however,
//refer a sojourn with Billy Brown at
his “ Brown House” in Macon; and il
Billy takes a notion to “emigrate”
trom Georgia, I am sure be could do
well in the Sandwich Islands.
When I arrived in this city, tlie
Legislature of the Kingdom was in
session. Tlie forms ot legislation are
essentially the same as those prevalent
in California and in Georgia. Many
of the members were boarders at the
Hiwaiian Hotel ; and in their manners,
the “ lobbying” to which they were
subjected, the extensive self-impor
tance they indulged in, they are ex
cellent rivals to American Legislators.
Indeed ti ere is quite an American ele
ment among them. Among the names
on the roll of members, we note those
of Bishop Carter, Rice, Martin, Harris,
Hutchison aud others. Among the
Honorable members of native blood,
we may note the names of Messrs.
Nahaolelua, Kuihelani,Kupakee, Kala
kaua, Romoikehuehu, and many oth
ers equally euphonious! We have seem
all these Honorables, and find the) re
semble very much in appearance the
staple of legislators in your beloved
United States. None ot them are ol
such ebon complexion as some of your
Georgian Legislators. The prevail
ing complexion of the natives is some
what like that of a light colored mu
latto, or a quadroon.
Nothing is more striking than the
disappearance oi the native population
in these and other Polynesian Islands
on coming in contact with Europeans.
The rapidity ot this process is even
more striking than that witnessed in
the case of the American Indians in
the limits of the United States. The
great destroyer among these children
of the Islands has neen a class of dis
eases introduced by contact with Eu
ropeans, and which has been the sub
ject of serious legislation here for
many years past. An elaborate bill
on the subject, proposing to establish a
Hospital in this city, was thoroughly
fiscussed in the 23d inst. and lost; leav
ing the act of lfebO yet in force.
To illustrate the progress of Amer
icanism here, the bill of Hon. C. R.
Bishop to regulate the currency be-
;ame a law a few days ago. By this
avv the currency of the United States :
the dollar, half dollar, quarter-dollar,
dime and hall-dime, is declared to be
the legal currency of the kingdom
We shall send you a specimen ot each
of these coins as they shall be stamped

King Kamehumeha V, to place in your
cabinet of curiosities, and to pay for

To show the form of a Hiwaiian
enactment, as well as to illustrate the
progress of religious observance, I will

proved, to my satisfaction, and that of
many others, that timber felled in the

Now, Mr. Editor, do not be startled

that the sap of trees ascends with
every increase of the moon, and des
cends with every decrease of the moon;
and at its full and at its dark it will
neither ascend nor descend, but will
spread in a circular form. I have no
doubt but that the moon has the same

on this matter will now soon come,

The origination of new and distinct
breeds of animals by judicious crosses
of various breeds, or by carefully rec
tifying bad points and increasing good
points until a particular breed has be
come so distinct as to perpetuate their
peculiar characteristics, and thereby
establish for itself a clear title to a dis
tinct and separate name, the Stock
Breeders of America have been behind
tiie progress of improvement, in this
line, manifested in Europe. England
is ahead of all nations with her dif
ferent perfected breeds of hogs and
sheep, and her Durham, Devon, Here
ford and other distinct breeds of cat
tle formed by patient, persevering skill
and judgment.
In the United States, we are not
aware of but two important improve
ments in the breeds of stock, so as to
entitle it to the designation of a spe
cial, distinct breed. Due is the “trot
ting horse,” which by careful breed
ing and skillful training, has become
renowned as surpassing any other
breed of horses in the world for the
purpose of light draft. The whole
horse-world has been “startled” by a
young horse trotting one mile in 2:15.
The other triumph of American breed
ers of stock is the oiigm of the Poland-
China, or Magic breed of hogs. A
tine representation of a premium spe
cimen is found in the September num
ber of tlie Maryland Farmer, taken
from a Photograph of “ Jim Crow,”
owned by Messrs. Shepard & Alexan
der ot Charleston, III., for whom these
gentlemen have been offered $200.
They breed extensively, and we are
happy to hear that this valuable breed
of swine are being rapidiy spread over
the various sections of our country.
Messrs. S- & A. have about thirty
odd sows that average over 700 lbs.
when in full flesh. They breed from
about ninety-five sows, and have at
present on hand 400 pigs. There are
nine brood boars, not closely akin, iu
their piggery. 'This breed is said to
Philadelphia.
We have examined its contents, and
do hereby recommend its adoption in
lieu of the good old Webster’s “Ele
mentary Spelling Book-” Mr. Neeley’s
work is undoubtedly an improvement
on Webster’s. Since the compilation oi
the great New Englander’s book, not
only has the English language made an
immense stride of progress ; but the
art of teaching has made a progress still
in ire immense. The little book before
us is up with the times, and is exactly
adapted to Southern wants. It shuns
the dirty trick of sectionalism charac
terising very many of the recent school
books made in the North to suit the
depraved taste of that intolerant re
gion ; and the rouudest headed Puri
tan in New England would do well to
substitute Neely’s little book for Web
ster’s, if he could only see things im
partially. That, however, is a sub
limity of vision be can never attain ;—

change and reap the profit.

The Railroads of the Worlds
There are now 124,003 miles of
railroad in the world. It is a wonder
ful fact—one to excite much reflec
tion—that of this 124,000 miles of
finished railway, more than 50,-
000 miles are in the United States,
while all Europe has only 63,000 miles.
The United States has nearly as many
miles of railway as Great Britain,
Germany, France, Russian, Austria,
Spain, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Nur-
I way, Holland, Denmark, Switzerland,
j Portugal, Turkey and Greece, all put
together. Ninety years ago, we had
only three millions of population, and
there was not a settlement west of the
Ohio river; not a turnpike west of the
Alleghany mountains—hardly one on
the Atlantic coast; and to-day we have
more miles of public highway than all
Europe.
Next to the United States comes
Great Britain, which has 16,000 miles;
Germany has 12.000; France, 10,000;
Russia, 5,600; Austria, 4,»>00; Spain,
3,700; Italy, 3,400 ; Belgium, 2,000;
Holland, 1,000.
Greece—“but living Greece no
more”—has six miles. Turkey has
349.
British India has 4,300 miles—near
ly as many as Austria or Russia.
Mexico has 113 miles—poor Mexico.
Egypt—this is another topic of re
flection—has 1,100; and Australia has
800.
The cost of all the railroads in the
world has been about $12,000,000,000,
averaging $96,000 per mile. The
average cost in Europe is $135,000; iu
this country S-30,000.
The locomotive is now running in
Japan and in Syria—by the rivers of
Abatia and Pharpar.
All of this work has been done since
about 1335—thirty-seven years ago.
In thirty-seven more years vve shall
see all Asia traversed in every direc
tion by railroads—the cars of the
Pennsylvania Central running (don’t

reason why so many misses are not

The Good it Did.—The advanta
ges of a diversified industry in agricul
ture are illustrated by facts which may
be interesting to our farmers. It is
stated that at an agricultural meeting
in Valenciennes, France, a triumphal
arch was erected bearing the follow
ing inscription :—“The growth of
wneat in this district, before the pro
duction of beet-root sugar was only
976,000 bushels ; the number of oxen
was 600. Since the introduction ot
the sugar manufacture, the growth of
wheat lias been 1,168,000 bushels, and
the number of oxeu 11,500.”

My uncle, Daniel Smith, of Oxford,
Me., says a writer in the New York
Ledger, was most emphatically a man
of regularly precise habits. I was in
timate w’itii him for years—spending
days beneath his own roof, and he so
journed for brief seasons with me—and
1 never saw him in a passion, nor
heard him speak in an excited tone of
voice, though I have heard him say
bitter and cutting things. His reli
gious instincts led him Q'i ikervvard,
and if he had one political item of
faith stronger than another, it was
universal peace. I was one timetaik-
ing with his son Mark P., of the man’s
haifits and temperament, and 1 said;
“Really, Mark, you are in body older
than your lather.” “Aud weli I may
be,” said he, “I have done more work
than he ever did.” “And yet,” sai l I,
“Unc e Daniel has never been an idle
man.” “No,” replied Mark, “he was
never idle; but I never knew him to
hurry. I remember when father was
the only shoekeeper in our district.
No matter what was the work on
hand, nor how many feet Yvere bare,
when his proper hours of labor were
done, ofl’went his apron, and his sea
son of rest was hisown. I call to mind
a certaiu occasion when we were at
work in the hayheld. We had a large
lot of valuable hay down and spread
upon the ground, sufficiently cured to
carry in. We were raking it up and
there were signs of rain. Father was
ahead of me, and 1 called him to hur
ry. I called him a second time and
tny impatience was manifest. “For
nercy’s sake, father, can’t you hurry
up just a little? Don’t you see those
clouds over the hill ? The rain will
catch us!” He stopped—he was not
more than forty then—and setting the
tail of his rake upon the ground, I
turned and answered me. “Mirk,'
said fie, ,‘I have nothing to do with
rain; I have ouiy myself to be answer-
able for. God has given me just my
share of strength, and it must last me
iny lifetime. I can’t waste it now!” I
lon’t remember of ever trying to hur
ry him again. I saw my uncle Daniel,
at the age of S7 years swinging a scythe
upon the very piece of intervale wliere
his son had sought, in vain, to hurry
him—seven ami forty years before,
lie passed away beyond the vale, two
years ago, at the ripe old age of 96
years.
——
Training a Heifer to Milk.—Cows
usually become addicted to kicking
when heifers, from being milked by
abusive milkers. I bave never seen
an old cow become a kicker unless
abused. Instead of cows being averse
to being milked when giving u large
quantity, I bave ever found it the re
verse. When pasturage is good, and
cows come home at night with udders
distended with milk, they seem grate
ful to have it removed. Milking a heif
er for the first time requires patience,
for they will almost invariably kick*—
In such a case put a broad strap
around her body, just front ol the ud
der, and buckle it up moderately
tight, and as soon as she gets quiet (for
she may dance around a little at first,)
take your pail, sit down and go to
milking, for she is as helpless as a kit
ten. Do not attempt to use a rope in
stead of a strap, for it will not an
swer. This is a much better method
than tying the Iegs, &c., as it does not
hurt the animal in the least. A few
applications of the strap, with plenty
of patience and kindness, will cure the
most obstinate case.—Cor. Rujal Home^
