GOLDEN DEEDS.
The Chieftainess and the Volcano.
Few regions in the world are more beau
tiful than those islands far away in the
Pacific which we have been used to call
the Sandwich Isles. They are in great part
formed by the busy little coral worms, but
in the midst of them are lofty mountains,
thrown up by the wonderful power that we
call volcanic. In sailing up to the islands
the first thing that becomes visible are two
loity peaks, each two miles and a half
high. One is white with perpetual snow,
the other is dark, —dark w'ith lava and
cinders, on which the inward heat will not
permit the snow’ to cast a white mantle.
The first of these has been tranquil for
many years, the other is the largest and
must terrible active valcano in the world,
and is named Kilauea. The enormous
crater is a lake of liquid fire, from six to
nine miles in cireumlerence. Over it plays
a continual vapor, which haugs by day
like a silvery cloud, but at dusk is red and
glowing like the Aurora Borealis, and in
the night is as a forest in flames. Bisiug
into this lurid atmosphere are two black
cones, in the midst of a sea of fused lava,
in which black and pink rocks are tossed
wildly about as in a seething cauldron.
The edge of this huge basin of burning
matter is a ledge of hard lava, above which
rises a mighty wall of scoria or cinder ; in
one place forming an abrupt precipice,
4000 feet high, but in others capable of
being descended, by perilous paths, by
those who desire to have a closer view of
the lake of liquid fire within. Upon the
bushes that gr*w on the mountain-top is
found a curious fibrous substance formed
by the action of the air upon the vapor
rising from the molten minerals beneath ;
it is like cob-webs of spun glass. Tre
mendous is the scene at all times, but at
the periods of eruption, the terrific majes
ty is beyond all imagination, when rivers
of boiling lava, blood rod with heat, rush
down the mountain-side, forming cascades
of living fire, or spreading destruction over
the plains, and when reaching the sea
struggling, roars thundering, in bubbling
flames and dense smoke for the mastery
with the other element.
Heathen nations living among such won
derful appearances of nature cannot fail
to connect them with divine beings. The
very name of Volcano testifies to the old
classical fancy that the burning hills of
the Mediterranean were the workshops of
tliearmorer god Vulcan and his Cyclops,
aud in the Sandwich Islands, the terrible
Kilauea wrs supposed to be the home of
the Goddess Pele, whose bath was in the
mighty crater, and whose hair was sup
posed to be the glassy threads that cov
ered the hill. Fierce goddess as she was,
she permitted no woman to touch the
verge of her mountain, and her wrath
might involve the whole island in fiery
destruction.
At length, however, the islanders were
delivered from their bondage of terror in
to a clearer light. Missionaries came
among them, and their intercourse with
Europeans made them ashamed of their
own superstitious fancies. Very gradually
the faith of the people detached itself
from the savage deities they worshipped,
and they begau to revere the One true
Maker oi heaven and earth. But still their
superstitions hung round Kilauea. There
the fiery goddess still revelled in her fear
ful gambols, there the terrible sights and
sounds, and tho desolating streams that
might at any moment burst from her res
ervoir of flame, were as tokens of anger
that the nation feared to provoke. And
after the young Liholiho, with all his
court, had made up their minds to aban
don their idols, give up their superstitious
practices, and seek instruction from Chris
u ms teachers, still the priests of Pele, on
her flaming mountain, kept their strong
hold of heathenism, and threatened her
wrath upon those who should forsake the
ancient worship.
Then it was that a brave Christian wo
man, strong in faith and courage, resolved
to defy the goddess in her fastness, and
break the spell that bound the trembling
people to her worship. Her name was
Kapiolaui, wife of Faihe, the public ora
tor of Hawii. There was no common
tru. • and resolution needed to enable her
to carry out her undertaking. Not only
was she outraging the old notions that
itarful consequences must follow the traDS
gre- ions of the tabo, or setting apart.
Not only was the ascent toilsome, and
hading into cold regions, which were
... fnl to a delicate Hawaian, but the
actual danger of the ascent was great.
V.',id crags, and slippery sheets oi lava, or
lopes of crumbling cinders, were stran
gers to the feet of the tender coast-bred
oman. And the heated soil, the groan
ng, the lurid atmosphere, the vapor that
i tup from the crevices of the half
cooled lava, must have filled any mind
v ith awe and terror, above all, one that
ha 1 been bred np in the faith that these
we;.- the tokens of the fury of a vindictive
i.l powerful deity, whose precincts she
) transgressing. Very recently a large
t ody of men had been suffocated on the
i ntain-side by the mephetic gases of
the volcano— struck dead, as it must have
-omed, by the breath of the goddess.
But Kapiolani, strong in the faith that
He, as whose champion she came, wius all
suffleieut to guard her from the perils she
oonfrouted, climbed resolutely ou, bearing
iu her hand the sacred berries which it
was sacrilege lor one of her sex to touch.
The enraged priests of l’ele came forth
trom their sanctuary among the crags, and
endeavored to bar her way with threatH of
the rage of their mistress ; but she heeded
them not. She made her way to the sum
mit, and gazed into the fiery gulf below,
then descended the side of the terrible
crater, even to the margin of the boiling
sea of fire, and hurling into it the sacred
berries, exclaimed : *‘lf I perish to the
anger of Pele, then dread her wrath ; but,
behold, I defy her wrath. I have broken
her tabus ; I live and am safe, for Jehovah
the Almighty is my God. His was the
breath that kindled these flames ; His is
the Hand which restrains their fury! O,
all ye people, behold how vain are the gods'
of Hawii, and turn and serve the Lord ! >
Safely the brave woman descended the
mountain, having won her cause of Faith.
In classic times, the philosopher Krn
pidocles had leaped into the burning cra
ter of Mount Etna, thereby to obtain an
imperishable name. How much more
noble is the name that Kapiolani gained
for herself, by the deed that showed forth
at whose oommand alone it is that the
mountains quake and flow down, and the
hills melt like wax.
A Humorous Will.
Peter G. Eberman, Esq., is going through :
the old wills in the Register’s office, Lan

and among others discovered one that was j
written by a man who committed suicide j
in the Susquehanna, at Columbia, more j
than one hundred years ago, but which
was never probated. We give portions of
the will below, copied verbatim :
This will be found after my Doth if

It may be reported, as the world is great
ly given to lying, that I died by accident;
but thet’s a mistake, for I throwed mesell
into the river a Wednesday evening, being
tired of the world and fretted out of me
life ; and as the little that’s left of me sub

no quarreling about my disposing of it in
the following manner:
There may be in me breeches pocket
(as I pat there all I had) about something
less than half a guinea in silver and six
pence, and some half pence. Give that to

My sow and pigs, and me crucifix, along

Tbk oldest of the fifty-six signers of the
Declaration of Independence, at the time that |
historic instrument was adopted, and signed,
on the 4th of July 1778, was Benjamin Frank
lin of Pennsylvania, who was in his 71st year
The youngest was Edward Rutledge, of South
Carolina, who was in his 27th year. Three of
the signers were over 90 ’years of age when
they died, ten were over SO, and eleven over
70 years. The last survivor of the signers
was Charles Carroll, of Carrolton. Md., who
died on the 14th of November, 1832, in his
96th year. John Adams and Thomas Jeffer
son died on the same day, July 4th. 182$, the
former in his 91st year, and the latter in his
84th year, and when they were gone, Charles
Carroll was tha only remaining one of the

LET US HAVE LIGHT! HE WHO CANNOT REASON IS A FOOL-HE WHO WILL NOT REASON IS A BIGOT
SAVANNAH. GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1875.
The Papal Assault on the Common
Schools of the United States.
In all public controversies it is important
to ascertain who the parties are, ami to know
precisely the positions taken by the coatest
-1 ants. And it is just and fair to let an antago
nist state his own oase in his own way.
The triends .of our American system of
| common schools have recently been startled
by the discovery that a largo and respectable
; portion of their fellow-citizens have reached
| the conclusion, that these schools, as now
j organized, ought to be abolished; that the
State, as a political organization, does not
possess the constitutional right, aud if it did,
is not a tit institution to provide for and di
! reet the education of its youth.
This opposition to our school system is nil
! the more formidable, from the fact that it is
a necessary part of a great and aggressive
! movement, recently inaugurated, and now
| being vigorously carried on by the most
powerful ecclesiastical organization on the
) globe.
That general movement may be understood
jby reading the recent decrees of the Pope of
Rome,‘‘the Vicar of Christ,” the “infallablo
head” ot the Roman Catholic Church. In
his famous encyclical lettor of December 8,
i 1384, he inserts a long I ist of doctrines and
opinions, each and all of which he commands
all members of the Catholic communion to
treat (veluti fprobataeproscripta* atque damna
| tag) as reprobated, proscribed and condemned.
In tho long list of opinions thus proscribed
and condemned are: The liberty of the
| press; the liberty of speech; tho liberty of
I conscience und worship; the separatum oi the !
I Church from tho Stale, uud the secular edu
| cation of youth.
These are cited, and they form but a small |
j part of tho liut, to show how extensive uud
! aggressive the movement is.
j During the ton year* which have elapsed
Biuco this general order was issued from the ■
Papal headquarters, the subordinate leaders
have not been inactive in obeying its man- j
dates. Let us reconnoitre the positions now
occupied by that portion of tho Pupal force
to which has been assigned tho special duty j
ot destroying the common schools of the '
United .States. The latest and fullest report *
of opeiations will be found in a volume pub
lished in Boston, in 1872, entitled “Public |
School Education,” by Michael Miller, 8. C. ,
S. R., Priest of tho Congregation of “Tho '
Most Holy Redeemer/'
After two introductory chapters on the al
leged depravity of tho American people, its
literature and its press, tho author dovotas
a chapter to proving that the public school
system of tho United States originated in ti
purpose to expel religion from tho nation.
Near the close of the third chapter ho says.
“Wo may then confidently assert that the
defenders and upholders of public schools,
without religion, seek in America, as well as in
Europe, to turn the people into refined Pa
gans. ***** The object, then, of
these godless, irreligious public schools, is
to spread among the people, the worst of re
ligions, the no religion, the religion which
pleuses molt hardened adulterers and crim
inals; the religion of irrational uuimuls. llow
far this diabolical scheme has succeeded is
well known; for there ure at present from
twenty to twenty-five millions of people in
the United States who profess no distinct re
ligious belief’”—pp. 73-4.
The scope of the discussion may be seen
from the following titles—Chap. IV “Expose
of the Public School System.” Chapters V,
VI. VII and VIII are devoted to the discus,
sion of the “Evil Consequences of the Public
School System.” Chap. IX, “The State, its
UsurpaMon of Individual Rights, its Incoin- *
potency to Educate.” Chap. X, “The State
a Robber—Violation of our Constitution and
Common Law.”
To those who have so long and so earnestly
labored to establish and maintain our noble
system of public schools—which are open und
free *to all—the following paragraphs will
sound strangely:
“Truly this godless system of education,
if carried out to its#logical consequences, will
disrupt society, destroy tho right of the Chris
tian society entirely, bring back on the
world the barbarism, tyranny and brutality
of Pagan antiquity, and make slaves and
victims of its children and their posterity
forever !”
“Who does not feel most indignant at the
State for having introduced such a godless
system of education? And for the support
of this system of education—of this prolific
mother of children of anti-Chrint —we are enor
mously tithed and taxed. Horrible!”—p.
164.
“Again,” lays the author: “If the State
taxes us as a religious and Christian people,
for the education of our children, it must
give us a Christian education. If it cannot,
or will not do that, it must cease to tax us,
and leave the education of our children to
ourselves.”—p. 168
And again:
“It is well known, however, that between
the Catholic faith and Protestant creeds there
is a gulf, which cannot be bridged over. It
would, therefore, be simply impossible to
adopt any religious teaching whatever in
mixed schools, without at once interfering
with Catholic conscience/'—p. 201.
Lest this doctrine may seem un-American
and unpatriotic, the author devotes a large
portion of Chapter XII to the praise of the
Catholic Church as the champion of free in
stitutions. In reading this chapter, one is
half inclined to think the author is indulg
ing ia a little covert humor when he says:
“AH these cardinal elements of free gov
ernment date back to the good old Catholic
times, in the Middle Ages, gome three hun- (
dred years be!ore tho dawn ot the Reforma
tion/'—p. 247.
Our readers will do well to read from the
pages of Hallaiu the history of those "good
idd Catholic time*!' 1 The author, doubtless
has hit) eye on those “good old times” when
he say s;
“Ihe non-Catholic has no conception of
| the treasure the l. nion possesses in these
; thirteen millions of Catholics. * * * They
are the salt of the American community, and
tho really conservative element in the Ainer
ican population. In a few years they will he
I the Americans of the Americans; and on
them will rest tho performance of tho glori
ous work of sustaining American civiliza
tion, and realizing the hopes of the founders
of our great and growing republic/’—pp.
! 2D2 h
We vuajr well believe, that when all this
come? to pass, we shall have brought over
to America tho “good old Catholic times of
the Middle Ages.”
Thus far the author has spoken only as a
citizen of the republic. In Chapters XIII,
l XIV. and XV, he speaks with the awful
authority of the church, llero we see the
weapons of the priest Hushing in the fight
against our school system. It is curious to
notice that ho draws upon the Bible for only
| one tsxt, and that ho uppvars to have used
rather as a compliment to the snored book
* than us dangerous to our schools, llis weup-
I were torged and tempered in the arsenal
of the \ utioan. On the Vatican Hill he has
planted his butteries, with which to demolish
1 the American school house.
In opening Chapter XIII, the author says :
j “8o far I have spoken as an American
citizen. I have shown to all iny lellow
citizens the tree with its fruits—tho public
school system iu broad daylight, All who
I call themselves Christians or consider thorn -
| selves men of common sense and warm pro
; motors of tho happiness of their fellow-citi
zens, will agree with mo in saying, that the
! public school system is a tree, of which we
may say what God said to Adam of the tree
standing in the middle of Paradise : ‘Ol
the tree of knowledge of good and evil thou
i shalt not eat; for in what day soever thou
. shalt out of it, thou shalt die the death/
; It is now time for me to speak as a priest of
I the Roman Catholic Church. It is tho duty
j of tho Cutholio priest to teach the ohildren
of tho Catholio Church tho langmigo of their
I spiritual mother —the Church. This lun
i K ua g° is oo other than that of the Supreme
Head if the Church—tho Pope. Now the
language of the Vicar of Christ in regard
to godless education is very plain and un
mistakahle * * * Our Holy Father, Pope
IX., b* that Catholic* con not
‘approve of a system of educating youtti un
connected with the Catholic faith and the
power of tho Church, and which regards the
knowledge of merely natural things, as
only, or at least primarily, tho ends of earth
I y social life/ ” —pp. 2U7-8.
In a fo t note, referring to the above pas
sage, the author quotes the Latin original ot
the Syllabus. Prop. XLVIII., in which the
Pope, by his Apostolic authoritiy, commands
all Catholic everywhere to hold tho advocacy
of such schools us a doctrine “reprobutam
proecriptam atque damn atom
After quoting from several other orders
and rescripts of the Pope, und from resolu
tions und addresses of lending bishops of
different countries, the author Huys :
‘The bishops of the universal world/* united
to the Vicar of Christ, speak with authority;
their judgment cannot be gain-said. Peter
has spoken through Pius; the question is set
tled, would that the error, too, were at an
end !’—p. 313.
Finally, near the close of tho volume, the
author sums up the strength oi his position
thus :
‘The voice of common sense, the voice of
sad experience, the voice of Catholic bish*
ops, and especially the voice of tho Jloly
Father, is raised against and condemns tin
public school system as a huge humbug, ‘in 1
juring and not promoting personal virtue und j
good citizenship, and as being most perni
oious to the Catholio faith and life, and all
good morals/ A pastor cannot, therefore,
maintain the contrary opinion without in
curring great guilt before God and the
Church. He cannot allow parents to send
their children to such schools of infidelity
and immorality. He cannot give them ab
solution and say Innocent Sum.* —pp. 3 it 70.
The author of this volume has done the
country this service at least: he has very
clearly and boldly stated the question; he.
has showii us his commission and the mus
ter-roll of his forces; he has shown us where
the batteries ure planted; and we muy now
see clearly the field on which, and the force
by which, the great battle is to be fought to
determine the fate of our Americun system
of education.
Thk flow of Jesuits into England led re
ceritly to an interrogation of the ministry by !
Mr. Whalley (known as the friend of the 1
Tichborne claimant), to which Mr. Disraeli j
replied that their presence in the country was,
under the act of George IV. known as the
Emancipation Act, a misdemeanor, but he ad (
ded : “During the period which has elapsed
since the passing of that act, now nearly half
a century, the government of this country has,
I believe, in no instance proceeded against
any Jesuit for committing a misdemeanor
under its provisions, and so far as her Majes
ty’s present advisers are influenced by the
circumstances with which they are acquainted
the same policy will continue to prevail. At
the same time I beg it to be understood that
the provisions of the act are not looked upon
by the goverment as being obsolete, but, on
the contrary, as reserving powers of law of
which they will be prepared to avail them
selves if necessary." (Cheers.;
Secret Political Societies.
The Inquisition was tho greatest, most ter
rible, '.ud cruel of secret societies, and in des
potic countries tho friends of liberty have
uften toll themselves compelled to conspire .se
cretly in order to save their cause nnd them
solves. But it is always a question whether,
even under such circumstances, the secrecy is
an advantage, uud whether the universal dis
trust und consequent terror which it breeds
are not the source ol more cruelty and suffer
iug than its benefits can offset. In this country,
however, secret political associations aro un
necessary and suspicious. What, cannot be
douo openly in such matters should not be
done at all, and the man who proposes se
crecy presumptively means mutohief. The
Euow-Nothiug was one of ti.o most con
spicuous illustrations of a political secret so
ciety, and it gave us neither groat men nor
good measures, and soon disappeared.
But it wo cannot heat the political Roman
C huroh in a lair and open American contest,
wo deserve defeat. The intentions of the
Roman hierarchy are frankly published. The
I’ope, who is received by his Church as the
iulallible representative ol God upon earth,
has solemnly declared in the Syllabus that
Church and state should bo united, and that
tho Church should control the schools. The
hreemau s Journal, iu Now York, says plainly
that “the school tax iu itself is an unjust im
position.” Tho Tablet announces that it is
opposed to “purely scculur schools.” The
Lutholic Iclcgraph. in Ohio, asserts that “it
will ben glorious day for Cut holies in this
country when our school system shall he
shivered.” Tho Catholio Columbian, the or- !
gan of the Roman bishop ut Columbus, Ohio,
says that “Catholic parents cannot be allowed
the sacraments” who send their children by j
preference to the public schools. Archbishop
Purcell, of Cincinnati, writes that he does not I
approve the public school system. Bishop )
M’Quaid, of Rochester, insists that tho ques
tion be brought to tho ballot-box. And the J
Rev. Air. Btack, a Roman clergyman who does !
not acquiesce in the w.ir upon the schools, and 1
who bus been suspended by his bishop, said !
iu his letters to Harper’s Weekly lust July 1
that the school question will soon he made a
distinct issue, aud that then “tho watca-word
tor Catholics is likely to be tho principle en
unciated by Bishop Gilmour, of Cleveland,
‘Wo are Catholics first, citizens next.' ”
Hero is a policy fatal to American repubii
mm institutions frankly announced by the
Roman priests and press as one that will he
pushed at the polls. There is no reason for
forming secret societies to oppose it. Secret
societies breed only ii li.iite mischief, and the
American who will not openly declare his op
.... kn „ v cry suspicious
arid doubtful character, who desorvtM to he
watched lest ho bo caught doing the dirt)
work of the enemy.—[Harper’s Weekly.
Thk Tablet of New York puts its opinion
of Protestantism into the following passage:
“All this [i. #•., the sacrifice of the mass] u
thrown aside by that hell-born “ism’ whose
only dogma is u protest, and whose only wor
ship is to listen to u fellow-creature talk.
Throughout all its Protean forms its only
worship consists of sermons, as they cull
them, and that only once in seven days,
sparsely garnished with irreverent addresses
to the Deity and religious songs, much as a
leg of mutton is by a skilled cook, with car
rots and turnips carved into fantastic shapes
with a frill of curled paper on the extremity
of the bone by way of a benediction. The toe
timony of all the ages is rudely stuffed down
the throat of time by a miserable parody ol
the Christian religion, which made its noxious
appearance in the middle of the second
thousand years of the Church,” etc., etc.
It is sometimes suid that Romanism be
comes liberalized by its contact with Ameri
can institutions. 'that may be so, blit the
liberalizing influence lias hardly yet reached
the New York Tablet.
Eiiward M. Fav and Agnes Lunning ol
San Frnnoisco were engaged to be married
He was a Protestant, and she a Catholic. A
fow days before that fixed for the wedding.
Archbishop AJemuny sent tor the couple, arm
they went to his house. The Archbishop told
Fry that if God blessed him with children, h<
supposed lie would have them educated in the
Cutholio Church. Fry said he “didn’t under
stand theological terms, but lie didn’t pro J
propose to put a mortgage on his unborn I
children/' “Then I cannot grant you a dis- :
pensation,” said the Archbishop, “and w ith
out it you cannot ho married." “The devil I
can't.” said Fry. “I’m about tired of th* ■
Catholic Church, anyhow,” said Mrs. Fry i
that was to be, and they hunted u Protestant .
minister, and were married.
Shoddy Aristocracy Kebuked
John 8. C. Abbot tells how he was once
walking through the saloons of Versailles
“the most gorgeous of all earthly pullace*
with an American lady by his side.” She,
filled with the true shoddy admiration for
such trumpery, exclaimed : “Oh I wish we
had an aristocracy, and a king, nnd a court.’
Mr. Abbott’s comment on this characteristic
outburst of our commonplace caste, begins .
•‘Silly girl.” But to our glorious Whittier's
views on the same subject:
“ Land of rnv love ' to me more fair
Than gay Versailles, or Windsor's halls.
The shingly, painted where
Th** freeman’s vote for freedom fallM.
The simple roof, where prayer I* made.
Than Gothic groin and colonnade,
The living temple In the soul of man
Than Rome’s sky-mocking vault, or many
spired Milan.”
