THE SANDWICH ISLANDS.
.inarislion f;-o«

Mark Twain has written a charac
teristic letter to the Tribune in regard
to the Sandwich Islands, which we
copy nearly entire, lie resided there
for two years, and speaks from per
sonal knowledge :
I spent several months in the Sand
wich Islands, six years ago, and if I
could have my vmuv about it, I would
go back there ana remain the restol
my days. It is paradise for an indo
lent man. If a man is rich he can
live expensively, and his grandeur will
be respected as in other parts of the
earth ; if he is poor lie can herd with
the natives, and live on next to noth
ing ; he'can sun himself all daylong
under the palm trees, and be no more
troubled by his conscience than a but
terfly won id.
When you are in that blessed re
treat, you are safe from the tuimoil of
life ; yon drowse your days away in
in a long deep dream of peace ; the
past is a forgotten tiling, the present
is heaven, the future you leave to take
care ol itself. You are in the center
of the Pacific Ocean ; you are two
thousand miles from any continent ;
you are millions ol miles from the
world ; as far as you can see, on any
hand, the created billows wall the
horizon, and beyond this barrier the
wide universe is but a foreign land to
you, and barren of interest.
The climate is simply delicious—
never cold at the sea level, and never
really too warm, for you are at the
half-way house—that is, twenty de
grees above the equator. But then
yon may order your own climate for
this reason : the eight inhabited is
lands are merely mountains that lift
themselves out of the sea—a group of
bells, if you please, with some (but
not very much) “Hare” at their basis.
You get the idea. Well, you take a
thermometer, and mark on it where
you want the mercury to stand per
manently forever, (with not more
than 12 degrees variation), Winter
and Summer. If S2 in the shade is
your figure, (with the [privilege of go
ing down or up 5 or G degrees at long
intervals), you build your house down
on the “flare”—the sloping cr level
ground by the sea-shore—and you
have 'the deadest surest thing in the
world ou that temperature.. And
such is the climate of Honolulu, the
capital of the kingdom. If you mark
70 as your mean temperature, you
build your house on any mountain
side, 400 or 500 feet . above sea
level. It you mark 55 or 60, go
1,500 feet higher If you mark for
Wintry weather, go on climbing and
watching your mercury. If you want
snow and ice forever and ever, and ze
ro and below, build ou the summit of
Mauna Kea, 16,000 feet up in the air.
If you must have hot weather, you
should buiid at Lahaina, where they
do not hang the thermometer on a
nail because the solder might melt
and the instrument get broken ; or
you should build in the crater of
Kileaua, which would be the same as
going home before your time. You
cannot find as much climate bunched
together anywhere in the world as
you can in the Sandwich Islands.—
You may stand on the summit ©f
Mauna Kea in the midst of snow
banks that were before Capt Cook
Wt } 8 born, may be, and while you
shiver in your furs you may cast your
e ye down the sweep of the moun
tain side, and tell exactly where the
“igid zone ends and vegetable life be
gins ; a stunted and tormented growth
of trees shades down into a taller and
freer species, and that in turn, into
the full loliage and varied tints of the
temperate zone : further down, the
mere ordinary green tone of a forest
washes over the edges ol a broad bar
of orange trees that embraces the
mountain like a belt, and is so deep
and datk a green that distance makes
it black; and still further down your
eye rests upon the levels ol the sea
shore, where the sugar-cane is scorch
ing in the sun, and the feathery co
coa palm glassing itself in the tropi
cal waves; and whore you know the
sinful natives are lolling about in ut
ter nakednees, and never knowing or
caring that you and your snow and
your chattering teeth are so close by.
Sb you perceive, you can look down
upon all the climates of the earth,
and note the kinds and colors of all
the vegetations, just with a glance of
the eye—and this glance only travels
over about three miles as the birds
flies, too.
The natives of the islands number
only about fifty thousand, and the
whites about three thousand, chiefly
Americans. According to Captain
Cook, the natives numbered four hun
dred thousand less than a hundred
years ago. But the traders brought
labor and fancy diseases—in other
words, long, deliberate, infallible de
struction; and the missionaries
brought the means of grace and got
them ready. So the two forces are
working along harmoniously, and
anybody who knows anything about
figures can tell you exactly when ti e
last Kanaka will be in Abraham’s bo
som and his islands in the hands of the
whites. It is the same as calculating
an eclipse—if you get started right,
you cannot miss it. For nearly a cen
tury the natives have been keeping up
a ratio of about three births to five
deaths, and you can see what that
must result in. No doubt in fifty
years a Kanaka will be a curiosty in
his own land, and as an investment
will be superior to a circus.
Iam truly sorry that these people
aredyiug out, for they are about the
most interesting-savages there are.—
Their language is soft and musical, it
has not a hissing sound in it, and all
their words end with a vowel. They
would call Jim Fisk Jimmy Fiskki, for
they will even do violence to a proper
name if it grates too harshly in its nat
ural state. The Italian is raspy and
disagreeable compared to the Ha
waiian tongue.
These people used to go naked, but
the missionaries broke that up ; in
the towns the men wear clothing now
and in the country a plug hat and a
breech-clout ; or if they have compa
ny they put-on a shirt collar and a
vest. Nothing but religion and edu
cation could have wrought these ad
mirable changes. The women wear
a single loose calico gown, that falls
without a break from neck to heels.
In the old times, to speak plainly,
there was absolutely no bar to the
commerce of the sexes. To refuse the
solicitations of a stranger was regard
ed as a contemptible thing for a girl
ora woman to do ; but the missiona
ries have so bitterly fought this thing
that they have succeeded at least in
driving it out of sight—and now it ex
ists only in reality, not in name.
These natives are the simplest, the
kindest-hearted, the most unselfish
creatures that bear image of the
Maker. Where white influence has
not changed them, they will make any
chance stranger welcome and divide
their all with him—a trait which lias
never existed among any other peo
ple, perhaps. They live only for to
day; to-morrow is a thing which does
not enter into their calculations. I
had a native youth in my employ in
Honolulu, a graduate of a missionary
college, and he divided his time be
tween translating the Greek Testa
ment and taking care of a piece of
property of mine which I considered
a horse. Whenever this boy would
collect his wages, he would go and
lay out the entire amount, all the way
up from fifty cents to a doilar, in poi
—which is a paste made of the taro
root, and is the national dish—and
call in all the native ragamuffins that
came along to help him eat it. Aud
there, iu the rich grass, under the
tamarind trees, the gentle savages
would sit and gorge till all was gone.
My boy would go hungry and con
tent for a day or two, and then some
Kanaka, he probably had never seen
before would invite him to a similar
feast, and give him a fresh start.
The ancient religion was only a
jumble of curious superstitions. The
shark seems to have been the god they
chiefly worshipped—or rather sought
to propitiate. Then there was Pele,
a goddess who presided over the terri
ble fires of Kileauea; minor gods were
bly chuckle-headed and pious. And
he knows all the hymns you ever
beard in your life, and he sings them
in a soft, pleasant voice, to native
words that make “On Jordan’s stormy
banks I stand” sound as grotesquely
and sweetly foreign to you as if it
were a dictionary grinding wrong end
first through a sugar-mill. Now you
see how these natives, great and small,
old and young, are saturated with re
ligion—at least the poetry and the
music of it. But as to the practice of
it, they vary. Some of the nobler
precepts of Christianity they have al
ways practiced naturally, and they
always will. Some of the minor pre
cepts they as naturally do not prac
tice, and as naturally they never will.
The white man has taught them to
lie, and they tt ke to it pleasantly and
without sin—for there cannot be
much sin in a thing which they cannot
be made to comprehend is a sin. Adul
tery they look upon as poefieally
wrong but practically proper.
These people are sentimentally re
ligious—perhaps that describes it.
They pray and sing and moralize in
fair weather, but when they get into
trouble, that is “business”—and then
they are tolerably apt to drop poetry
and call oti the Great Shark God of
their fathers to give them a lift. Their
ancient superstitions are in their blood
and bones, and they keep dropping out
now and then in tne most natural and
pardonable way.
The natives make excellent seamen,
and the whalers would rather have
them than any other race. They are
so tractable, docile and willing, and
withal so faithful, that they rank first
in the sugar-planters’ esteem as la
borers. Do not these facts speak well
for our poor, brown Sunday-school
children of the far islands'?
There is a small property tax, and
any native who has an income of S50
a year can vote.
The 3,000 whites in the islands han
dle all the money and carry ou al! the
commerce and agriculture—and super
intend the religion. Americans are
largely in the majority. These whites
are sugar-planters, merchants, whale-
ship officers, and missionaries. The
missionaries are sorry the most of the
other whites are there, and these lat
ter are sorry the missionaries don’t
migrate. The most of the belt of slop
ing land that borders the sea and rises
toward the bases of the mountains, is
rich and fertile. There are only 200,-
000 acres of this productive soil, but
only think of its capabilities! In Lou
isiana, 200,000 acres of sugar land
would only yield 50,000 tons of sugar
per annum, and possibly not so much;
but in theSandwich Islands you could
get at least 400,000 tons out of it.
This is a good, strong statement, but
it is true, nevertheless. Two and a
half tons to the acre is a common
yield in the islands; three and a half
tons is by no means unusual; five tons
frequent; and I can name the man
who took fifty tous of sugar from seven
acres of ground, one season. This cane
was on the mountain side 2,500 feet
above sea level, and it took three
years to mature. Address your in
quiries to Capt. McKee, Island of
Maul, S. I. Few plantation are stuck
up in the air like that, and so twelve
months is ample time for the matur
ing of cane down there. And I would
like to call attention to two or three
exceedingly noteworthy tacts. For
nstauce, there you do not, hurry up
and cut your cane when it blossoms,
but you just let it alone aud cut it
when you choose—no harm will come
of it. Aud you do not have to keep an
army of hands to plant iu the planting
season, grind in the grinding season,
and rush in frantically and cut down
the crop when a frost threatens. Not
at all. There is no hurry. You run
a large plantation with but a tew
hands, because you plant pretty much
when you please, and you cut your
cane and grind it when it suits your
convenience. There is no frost, and
the loDger the cane stands the better it
grows. Sometimes—often, in fact—
part of your gang are planting a field,
another part are cutting the crop from
an adjoining field, and the rest are
grinding at the mill. l"ou only plant
once in three years, and you take off
two ratoon crops without replanting.
You may keep on taking on two ratoon
crops about as long as you please, in
deed; every year the bul^of the cane
will be smaller, but thejuice will grow
regularly, denser and richer, aud so
you are all right. I know of one lazy
man who took off sixteen ratoon crops
without replanting.
What fortunes those planters made
during our war, when sugar went up
into the twenties! It bad cost them
about ten or eleven cents a pound,
delivered in San Francisco, and all
charges paid. Now if any one desires
to know why these planters would
the system of government, V * I, will
wait a day. Also, I wouTu^pke to
know why your correspondents so
calmly ignore the true heir to the
Sandwich Islands throne, as if he had
no existence and no chances; and I
would like to heave in a word for him.
I refer to our staunch American sym
pathizers, Prince William Lunalilo, de
scendant of eleven generations of scep-
tcred savages—a splendid fellow, with
talent, genius, education, gentlemanly
manners, generous instincts, and an
intellect that shines as radiantly
through floods of whisky as if that
fluid but fed a calcium light in his
head. All people in the islands know
that William—or “Prince Bill,” as
they call him, more in affection than
otherwise—stands next the throne; and
so why is he ignored?
Mark Twain.
Hartford, 3d January, 1S73.
For the Union & Recorder.
What is Onr Destiny.
This question has no allusion to.
and no connection with politics or
politicians, office or office-holders,
whatever. It is one rather ©f animal
existence, or at least of those necessary
personal requirements which subserve
not only our individual comforts but
the prosperity and lives of commu
nities throughout the world—one^if
climate and atmospheric change not
only to the South, but alike in north
ern latitudes, in the eastern as well as
the western sections of onr country—
in both hemispheres, and upon every
continent of the globe, where the
same causes exist to bring about the
great and alarming changes which
have been wrought in all parts of the
United States. We allude to Rail
roads as their indisputable creation ;
and are fortified in our opinion, first,
by the fact that we simplv repeat
what has been often charged within
the last few years : Secondly, which
circumstances have verified and con
tinued to render more apparent with
every season of the year, as fast as the
years roll round, and the causes them
selves are multiplied to our every sense.
Certainly, it is only necessary to ap
peal to the common experience of or
dinary observers to sustain the asser
tion that the extremes of cold and heat
have been regularly intensifying in
proportion to the accumulation of rail
way routes, and in the very direction
these routes hive been made to take, ever
since their net-work like lines were
stretched across the continent like
mitt races or artificial everglades, con
ducting the currents of air from one
region to another; and this upon a
well known law of nature, that the
colder stratum invariably seeks the
warmer. It is an old axiom also, that
the openings through which rivers
flow, are nature’s highways over which
she transfuses the moisture that is
converted into rain drops, and thence
precipitated to the earth.
Nor is cold the only element
that has intensified itself in quarters
which, previous to the introduction of
railways, suffered nothing in compari
son to the frequency and severity of
its occurrences. Laterly, storms, hur
ricanes, tornadoes, freshets, and the
play of the electric fluid, are equally
noticeable as unusually prevalent and
of increased volumns. Let any well-
informed, thoughtful mind, reflect and
compare the condition—sudden and
rapidly succeeding and severe phases
of our winters now, and for the few
years just past, with what they were
in days without (or with but few)
railroads, and the conviction will be
irresistible that no natural cause or
causes have made them so uniformly
and progressively harsh and bitter cold,
as at present we know them to be.
At this writing the thermometer has
risen but six degrees since 7 o’clock
this morning, when it marked 26 in a
room, itself close and rendered nearly
air-tight, but in which a fire had been
constantly burning to within an hour
or two of daylight! It may be fairly
estimated if the thermometer had been
in the open air its range would have
been as low as 16 degrees, or less,
above zero ! But the * snap’ now upon
us is the fourth or fifth since the 1st of
December; in fact that whole month
down to this date, has been one con
tinual spell of unprecedented severi
ty—and writing about it but increases
the feeling—we will suspend there
fore until a ‘thaw’ conies over our
spirit.

not scarce. The natives are all Chris- 1 probably like to be under our flag, the
tians, now—every one of them; they
all belong to the church, and are tend
er of theology than they are of pie;
they will sweat out a sermon as long
as the Declaration of Independence;
the duller it is the more it infatuates
them; they would sit there and stew
and stew in a trance of enjoyment till
they floated away in their own grease
if the ministers would stand watch-
and-watch, and see them through.
Sunday schools are a favorite dissipa-
answei is smipie: Wa make them pay
us a duty of four cents a pound on re
fined sugars at present; brokerage,
freights and handling (two or three
times,) costs three cents more; rearing
the cane, and making the sugar, is an
item of five cents more—total, 12 cents
a pound, or within a cent of it, any
how. To-day refined sugar is only
worth about 12£ cents (wholesale) iu
our markets. Profit—none worth
mentioning. But if we were to annex
tion with them, and they never get 1 the islands and do away with that
enough If there was physical as well : crushing duty of four cents a pound,

for their plantations, and all their

since I was iu the island that I feel
doubtful about swearing that the Uni

four cents a pound, but I can swear it
was not under three.
I would like to say a word about
the late King Kamehameha V. and
One of the causes of stringency in
the money market is the scarcity of
producers. A nation or a State can no
more expend more than it produces
without financial embarrassment, than
an individual can. Our imports last
year exceeded our exports in value
over one hundred million of dollars.
That’s what’s the matter. Then we
find young, healthy, able-bodied men
flocking to the cities to be counter
hoppers, or to run for office, or relax
into dead-baptism, instead of driving
plows or clearing op land. More pro
ducers are needed. More productions
from the home soil are requisite. Stop
the leaks—keep money at home and
spend it among your neighbors.—
Above all go to work.—N. Y. Tribune.
It is a five dollars fine for a Rhode
Island man to call another a liar with
out being able to provo it, but he
generally proves it.

Memphis has a beautiful girl on
