THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. .inarislion f;-o« .Ylai L paint. 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.

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, as mental intoxication in this limb of some of those heavy planters who can the service, they would never draw a hardly keen their heads above water sober breath. Religion is drink and now, would clear $7o,000 sober breath. Religion meat to the native. He can read Ins neatly printed Bible (in the native tongue—every solitary man, woman, and little child in the islands can,) and he reads a whole world of moral tales, built on the good old Sunday-school book pattern exaggerated, and he wor ships their heroes—heroes who walk the world with their mouths full of butter, aud who are simply impossi- a year and upward. Two such years would pay for their plantations, and all their stock and machiueiy. It is so long since I was iu the island that I feel doubtful about swearing that the Uni ted States duties on their sugars was 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. The Piute Indians recently burned a young woman of their tribe for jilt ing several admiring braves. Memphis has a beautiful girl on whose account three young men have committed suicide. She can’t help being hahdaome, and some young men can’t help being idiotic. The most anxious mothers in Du luth think that ice fourteen feet thick is safe enough to let the boys go skat ing.
