Maui, where he established the Erst native girls school on these islands. His daughter. Miss Mary Green, is the Principal, at Waialua. on thi island cf one of the best of these institutions that have succeeded Mr. Green's initiation.

Leaving Wailuku. the subject of the present notice went to Makawao. as pastor of the native and foreign churches at that locality, and lor the past twenty-five years he has been at that place an incessant aud earnest worker in the cause for which he set out, over fifty years ago. In 1842, Mr. Green for reasons of his own, resigned his connection with the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and from that time until Lis death was what might be called an Independent pastor.

The natives and foreigners of the locality in which be lived, unquestionably appreciated his spirit of sturdy independence, for they did not fail to do their duty in supporting the Pastor of Makawao." He aedihed very little with secnlar matters, hut devoted hitweLf entirely to what -he considered the work, of hia profusion. He was, however, industrious with his pea. large brained, and contributed Articles ct value to many newspapers, Loth at the islands and in the United States, lie was true and faithful, and we doubt not thai he has en-trd into the rest cf Ihe blessed. I. I.n T.

...1.1 1.,,11., .1 ...1 rncrly the Government allowed him to do hy not i competcing with him, for competition it is, as now uuiuaged, aud nothing else. A great deal hats been said and written about the want of in- dustiious habits among the Ilawaiians, but what else can be expected from such a etatc of things? 1 We contider it to be the duty of the Government to encourage industry instead of depressing it by ruinous competition ruinous to those who are obliged to labor for their daily bread. We do not think free labor is too highly paid, and those citizens who hire convict labor in preference, on the score of its greater cheapness, we consider fail in their duty to society, inasmuch as by so doing they discourage industry, and foster or enforce idleness and its consequent train of evils. There arc many industrious Hawaiiaus who have only the labor of their hands by which to cam an income and shall they be longer obliged to look idly on at the unpaid convict labor which compels them so to look The convicts have no choice in the matter: they arc not a flee ted by the competition, and can have no sympathy or, feeling in Common with thoc who arc. They are not benefited by the money received for their labor, and might as well work for nothing, eo far as they are concerned and if they did, it would be only carrying the principle to its legitimate extreme.

How much longer shall such state of things continue? It belongs to the next Legislature to say. Legislative action alone can correct the evil and wc trust that we shall not be disappointed in the hope that some member may be found equal to the occasion, and competent to lead the way to a reform of this great and crying evil. We have heretofore raised our voice against this great wrong, and wc again implore those in power, who have the authority, to devise some measure if possible, to remove all just cause of complaint without waiting for the Legislature, and thereby at once to improve the coudition of our laboring population. Theke a 1'1'eaks to be no maimer of doubt that the German government have got cession of territory, consisting of a harbor, from the Ton-gan government if such there be diplomatically speaking. It seems odd that the European powers come out here to Oceanica in search of terri- firt siv fnntilhs It ill also he noticed that our stock, at the close of the year, is very small, barely a week's average consumption.

Hut at this season the demand is light, and two cargoes ar nearly due, for account of the refineries, which, with expected early supplies of Hawaiian, will be sulllcient to meet the requirements of trade. Stocks held by jobbers here, and throughout ihe coast, are also unusually small. The condition of the sugar market throughout the world a year ago promised high prices, which continued for a large part ol the year, but which, during the last quarter, have been steadily declining, till, at the close, prices in the producing countries and iu the great dUtiibutir.g marts are lower thau they have been for years. It will probably appear, when the annual statements are made of the year's trade, that the consumption in turope aodAiuerica has diminished fromtwo potent causes, high prices and hard times. Stocks in all of the great markets are large, except in San Francisco, and much in excess of those a year ago, but about equal to those ol two years ago.

Reports from the producing countries, except Manila, predict an increased yield, though it may be difficult so early in the season to ascertain very definitely the product of the various crops. The latest advices from Cuba are that the coming crop will be larger than that of last year. Planters are making all possible haste though retarded by heavy rains to secure their crops, in exposed localities, in apprehension of the burning of the standing cane by the insurgents, who seem to be more active, and further thau ever from pacification. The latest advices from Europe, with reference to the Beet Sugar product, estimate it at 1250,000 tons This will be 25U.C00 tons in excess of the yield of 1876, though less than that of ISTo. In regard to prices, one of the best and latest European authorities says: It may be assumed that if the market is not now at the lowest rate it is very little short of it.

Continental owners seem no longer so eager about selling at the quotations current iu London." From France it is stated that, from the increasing export, both of the refined and Keet.it appears as if they will require, sooner or later, a considerable supply of foreign Sugar." The latest advices from New York say that the demand is good for this late period in the year. I and that stocks were steadily shrinking, though still much lar- ger than at this time last year. The uew crop of both Caba and Louisiana are backward. From the various sources of information the following conclusions seem to be warranted: That there will be a large product of sugar this year; that the average of the year's prices will be much below those of lust year; and that the low cost and better times will cause an increased cjnsumption in Europe and thereby prevent excessive accumulations of stocks. These matters are of interest to the Hawaiian planters, as the prices of their product will be governed, to a great extent, by values in the great producing countries.

Our consumption of sugars has steauilv risen on this Coast the last ten years from lbs. in 1S08 te 70,000,000 lbs. in 1STT, and no doubt it will continue in an increased ratio. 1 We sha'l require here quite as much of good grocery grades this year as last probably more. Hut if the whole product I of the Isiands was of these descriptions it would be too large for our demand this Const.

It is, therefore, doubtless, lor Ihe interest of the planters especially as the product will be considerably increased to secure the trade of the refineries for such a part of the annual prodi? 't as will not leave a supply of grocery Sugar in excess of the wants of consumers, as the effect would be to reduce the fair prices which these grades have hitherto brought. The new aud large crop ol the Island Rice has gone quite freely into consumption in consequence of the relatively high price of China. The Chinese have been averse to its use, but Ihe difference of half a cent per pound has led to a considerable demand from them, which is a favorable circumstance for the future, as Ihe use rf it has, in a certain measure, disarmed prejudice, and they will doubtless be free consumers hereafter ut the discrimination in price in its lavor, wnicli can wen tie utforded as acainst duty pavinj; Rice.

To this end, it is said that he is determined to break up the Paris Exposition, for what reason, does not appear; to accomplish which he will urge Russia to demand such impracticable terms as to force on English interference, when he will take up nrms in favor of Itussia. Such action he seems to think will tempt France to draw the sword, when he will turn upon her complete the work beguu in the last war with that country. We think it would require very important reasons to force France from her prescut peace attitude, so necessary for preparation for any projects or schemes of actiou she may have in the future.

Dates from Belgrade to Dec. 30, state that the Servians have met with some succcess at Perot, on the 23d, when they captured several cannon, 1,000 rifles and fifty prisoners. This success, however slight, will probably stimulate theni to still bolder attempts. The Russians have suspended the concentration of troops against Erzeroutn on account of snow, which impedes military operations.

Ismail Pasha I is still in command of the town. Mukhtar Pasha has left; one account stating that he has been ordered to Constantinople; another, that he is in command of a small force in the field, with which he will endeavor to keep open his communications. Austria, in reply to the Turkish circular, reserves her' right to intervene upon the opening of peace negotiations as a guaranteeing and frontier Power. This means a piece, if Turkey is carved up at the end of the war. It is said, (Dec.

The present condition of these Hawaiian Islands proves that the best government for all the islanders of Oceanica is a native govern ment like the Hawaiian, under Kiugs of their deal of uneasiness among capitalists and bondholders, who consider that a departure from a gold standard will lead to a depreciation of gov-; ernment stocks and bonds held tnein. lhis is especially the case in London, where the lioldere of American securities are manifesting a strong disposition to Bell, under the apprehension that own race.

How deplorable It is to see the Samoans, our near neighbors, instead of endeavoring to imitate the independent Ilawa iians by establishing a united Sanioan native king dom, rushing with open arms to the Americans, the British or Germans, imploring to be taken under The poor dupes little know what such a protectorate It is absurd to deny that the white man, even in the best of circumstances, is incliucd to treat the colored man with contempt and injustice, when the latter is in his power.

On the neighborino- continents of North and South America, what has become of the native Indian race On the continents of Asia and Africa, under the British flag, where are the fruits of Christianity and civilization to be found amongst Hindus or Kafirs, at all comparable to the blessings enjoyed by the independent Ilawaiians? It is no Utopian scheme to desire to see a mixed race gradually sping up in the Oceanic Islands, thus preserving and perpetuating, by the infusion of new blood, the old Polynesian stock, and laying the foundation of a new Pacific people destined to become in future times the greatest maritime nation of the earth, if foreign aggression does not strangle the struggling plant in the bud. What have the Maoris gained by English rule? the Tahitianc, by French rule? the Javanese by Dutch rule 1 or the natives of the Philippines by Spanish rule As for the Fijians, they are likely to die out under British rule, like the 50,000 natives of Tasmania, who have wholly disappeared from that island since 1800. eventually paid in a depreciated currency.

It was in the great fire of the 18th of December, 1ST7, 1 opened it on the next morning by your admirable arrangement of inside bolt work on the combination, and was agreeably surprised to find all books and papers perfectly preserved. The interior of the Safe is so perfect I believe it will stand another fire, and I will therefore continue to use it.
