The lower parts of the treed are covered with ferns, of which there are many varieties, and with some species of pothos, which fiive the whole ground a matted or woven appearance. Among the plants a sjiecics of ccr-Jcra was observed, with beautiful clusters of large and od jriferou4 white fl that yielded a quun Hl Ul n'I' "IIICU lllllili win in u.ufacture into c.ioutchouc. The species or trees titv of viseous sar which bo'anists think will iuy oi viscous sap, which uj.anists inins win arc much uure nu nerous than at Tihiti, and thc vegetati iu much richer and more varied. Among tho in Mt remarkable trees is thc banyan, called by tbe natives "uliwa." Some are seen whose itendint branches tak.j root in the mud to the number of thousaiils, frming stems from an inch to two feet in diameter, unit-in In the main trunk iu re than eighty feet above the ground, aud supporting a vast system of horizontal branches, spreading like an umbrella over the tops of other trees. This tree is the symbol of vegetable strength.

Here uplifts its head tho inijestie palm, a single leaf whereof, sixteen feet broad and forty feet round, is en ugh to give shade to a score of at once. Here may be found on the bosom of these virgin forest some of the largest ll owers in the world, such as the ritliesia. one whose gigantic dimensions al me no less than three feet across. The breadfruit is the most abundant of nil trees, and grows to a large size. There are twenty varieties, bearing from two to live hundred of this peculiar fruit a tree through thc ear.

it varies in size irom that ot a small to that of a large one, and when baked and eat hot is very palatable, and a most perfect sulntitute for bread. The wool is very valuable, i is a close texture like mahogany, and receives liigb polish. It is u-seJ for the bottom of being imjiervious to the attacks of in-e-vts, and also for the paddles, steering oars, pul- lih and war clubs. It is of a dark color; it grows to a height of fifty feet, and forms one of toe ui bt luxuriant ornaments in the forests. The es-oanut tree grows to a height of eighty feet, and is seven years in coming to full maturity, when it yields from fifty to two hundred nuts in a year.

Throughout the South Pacific each tree is estimated to yield its owner one lar a year. C'ra.

The fruit hen young constitutes one of the principal oiirces of food, and the milk forms the principal frink. which is very Col and refreshin. nn.l in llivor it is sweet and palatable. II milk and pulp are sjked into a variety of di.shes. In llurope the pulp that remains alter the oil is ex- ractcd is made into confectionery, and the final i refuse into oil-cake for cattle.

The tree rait thin use bears fruit, but all the sap turns into liquor. After each catch of this wine, a thin dice is taken from the end of the stem, 60 as to open afresh the pores, which become glued up, as it were, by the sugar in the liquor. This tree not only feeds, clothes and supplies the people with drink, but builds their houses, canoes, makes war sj-ears and clubs, and is almost in- valuable to them and as its natural life is one hundred years, and as twenty thousand trees are frequently to be found upon quite a limited piece of ground, it becomes apparent that they are destined to occupy a very respectable position am many other valuable articles of commerce.

The papaia tree grows to a height of about tfty feet, anl commences to bear fruit in six months, when it is some twenty feet high, and contains ripe fruit, green fruit, and fruit in the bad, and blossoms to the extent of from fifty to one hundred. It is not a long-lived tree.

Sweet potatoes are abundant and very fine.

Cotton equals in point of texture and staple the best Sea Island cotton in the world, being snow white and silky.

Sugar cane is abundant and of superior quality, but only used by the natives in its natural state. All the above named products are indigenous to the soil. Besides these there are great many others, for which I have no name, but all of which flourish with extraordinary vigor, and I am told by the best authority, tbut all kinds of that have been received at these islands from various parts of the world have invariably uourisiitr-a in ine most satisfactory manner. .1. arc 60 the forests in fe8.

In fact the whole surlace of this island is beautifully diversified with valleys, plains and irregular hills; the whole of which is covered with shrubs of various kinds and trees of iierjKjtual verdure. It is here that the wanderer may enjoy the pure air, and truly paradisiacal scenery which surrounds him. They may talk of Italian skies and Sicilian shrubbery no island or coast in or around the Mediterranean Sea can rival this island in salubrity of climate, fertility of soil or beauty of scenery. Its air is deliciously balmy, its shrub- bcry luxuriant. Health and beauty here revel together.

Nature is dressed in ever changing but i never fading charms, and her sunny smiles are ever reflected from thc human countenance. From thc diwn of day until some time after sunrise, the most sparkling fable of Turkey, 1'ersia or all the East is fully realized. Every leaf ami flower and spray and blade of grass is gemmed with dew drojsof extraordinary clearness and purity, which have imbibed so much of the vegetable fragrance, that when they begin to exhale in the increasing 1- .1 I .1 I i falloJ witl the most del.ghtful illumes, and gnycrui cxiors irom its wings. Ibis is the hour for healthful recrea tion the by-paths are now crowded with equestrians of both sex, while the fields, meadows, lawns, hills and valleys are sprinkled with people some in groups, others in pairs, and many in contemplative solitude. But when the sun has attained a somewhat higher altitude and the stragglers begin to feci the potency of his beams, they all repair to their dwellings with keenly sharpened appetites for the luxuriant that awaits them.

In persuing the pathway that led to the highest eminence in this part of the island, in which is situated the lake to which I have referred above, we found it no easy tak to scale thc little precipices, which we found in some parts of this romantic avenue that led through a forest of gigantic trees, the umbrageous foliage of which, uniting above, sercenes it from the fervid rays of a tropical sun, and veils it in cool pensive contemplative glooms. The birds carolled sweetly in the branches above our heads, and after a fatiguing ascent of more tkm half a day, we at length reached the summit, when a prosj ect suddenly opened iipin our enraptured view, which amptly repaid us for all our previous labors It was without exception thc most romantic and beautifully variegated that I ever beheld. No painter uild do it justice it must be seen in all the liiing, breathing, moving colors of nature to be duly appreciated. No j-cn can accurately describe it; yet I shall attempt to convey a faint idea of its outlines. Standing on thc highest pinnacle, with nothing to interrupt my vision in any direction, my first attention was" directed to a most lovely lake, with its limpid waters, and wood-fringed borders, which lay basking in tiie life-giving sun-beams, at my very feet.

I next turned to the west; there lav" the lovely island of Savaii, with its cloud-capped mountains of 4,000 feet, the highest in the group, with its extensive verdant lams and luxuriant valleys. Here the eye ranges with delight over a fertile champaign, diversified with thriving pl.intati-.ms of bananas, K'onuts and other trees and garden shrubbery, until it reaches the picturesque channel of seven miles in breadth, with its placid surface reflecting the image of the two little romantic and interesting islands of Monono and Ajalima, which intervene, and together with thc surroundings, form a most beautiful picture, that the eye leaves with reluctance. Turning instinctively to the east, is to be seen the beautiful plains at the foot of the hill, on which we are standing. In one place is a mountain torrent tumbling down a succession of adamantine ridges, foaming and raging and fretting and dashing headlong through its devious appearance of Cl-urJie down to the plains below. In another di-it the top, and rection flowed by a glassy river, gently uieander-h fruit, which 'n3 through grassy meads, till it united with its restive neighbor the bay of Apia, where the crystal waters lay at rest, reflect thc inverted and moral behavior.

and hev sich all-tired good times that when we Leered that there was to lie a raisin here we were tickled nihly to death. We do. do.

We kinder ex- pet ted to meet the naybois, yeou know, and give a helpin hand at the work, me at the bildin and i Jemima doin chores in doors, gettin theeatin fixins i ready, and so forth.

Cliarooal Hketoli. Mr. EniTOK Your articles on the subject of loafers about the coffee shops oa Nuuanu street and elsewhere, struck me so lorci'jly, that I thought I would give you an idea of a passed A BUMMER. Now to be a genuine bummer, he must be a loafer, and have become a cannibal, a biped who lives on his fellow-creatures. But to become a patent bummer, requires great study it is a science not acquired in a day.

any more than any other science, but it requires great application, and years of careful study. I will try to give you an idea of how a bummer a patent one passes twenty-lour hours. He does not make his appearance on the Rial to, where men most do congregate, before 9 to 11 o'clock a shabbv-looking, half-genteel sort of chap uever contradicts any one slides into the midst of a group, hears the conversation, gives his opinion with reluctance, but always sides with the man who is most likely to make it 11 o'clock. In the meantime he overhears that Mr. is going to have a nice snug card party at night, aud that a neat little supper will be provided.

Bummer bums a cigar, which he proceeds to criticize knowingly. The eleven clock, wbo is a stranger, thinks there SUIllltl 1 11 111 1J11U, UI1U ft 111 JVU "Well," says Bummer, aiut it a lettte early?

Bustles in "Hue, give us a fid, and tell Capen it was me. Got a cigar? Now I've got to go down town and get some cigars and matches.

Hollo! L'ncle give us a bunch of cigars and a few matches." Helps himselt to a handful ot sugar wuite says its a mighty handy thing to have round o' mornings to mix a cocktail with.

A glass of whisky wouldn't go bad with The owner of the lunch says he la no cook, but that his wife makes "them are things."

Advice to those Advanced in Years. The following (ugjrostion for tho i4-rservntion cf health and strength during what are generally regarded as the declinit jr years of life, are from an article on Old Age," by Cha. II. F.ril.am, in the Herald of Health 1. The first of thee counsels is to take rrguZar fjrvi.c It is a mistake to uppoe that the faltering step, and the stiCtr joints, and the bones, indicate indolence, and tell one to lie down in the house from in min until night.

Kii rcise of tl.e old bones and muscle is just a t.eecssary ns exercise iT young and muscles. 'J. And this ieads us to that old nge should not only have regular exercise, but aliso wine duty and service hieh may iccupy bolv and mind, something more than a few the O'lds and ends of the Iioum. 3. And old age also has ayyroyrtalt ploy.

It grauty need not be perpeluul btaviness. It is not to be sequestered to Klioiis duties, and hindered from mirth, btvause it has got yond the time of sleigh rides, aixl dances, and frolics. The old ought to amuse themselves in ecry lawful I way. 4. Yet it is needful to say that in exercise and work and play, old age should be moderate, and not go to the extent of exhaustion, that there should Le c.

Iiecause the fymia-thies of the old are with each other, because they are likely to view things in the same way, and to have common memories, it by no means follows that they have no right to associate with young people. The young find advantage in the isdom of the elders, and the elders find quickening in the enthusiasm of the younger nice. Henry Ward Beeohor preached a rousing Christmas mtuioii one full of cheerful hope nnd bright philosophy, and liberal withal.

Cathe- drals are no l.mger of use. In former times they i let men live in mud hovels and erected stone i cathedrals. Art is now above and beyond this. There never was a time in the history of the world when art did so much as at present.

liook at the school of laiidbcajo painting to-day. It is of more account than all mediaeval schools put together. Still more ns- tonithing is the development of tho Christ prin-i ciplo in a popular literature, full of good will to men, full of the spirit of Catholic humanity. Dickens' Isioks, from leginning to end, radiate this spirit of the brotherhood of man. Thackeray scarcely less.

This spirit of brotherhood is growing among governments. There is a bu-j nianity iu war never known before. Consider the bands of organized women whose business it is to look after the feick and wounded. This spirit, unknown before, has been lent to I'urojie during her last struggle and now, when we I hear that disputes between governments are to be left to the cool and calm arbitrament of mutual friends, may wo not imagine tbe voices of the angels chanting, 44 Peace on earth, good i ill toward men All things now are obliged to pay toll and tux to the convenience and comfort of tbe jioor and tho helpless, everything has to pay heel to the great wants of mankind.

The Republican Stan dard of January 1 1 tit siys: Since the receipt of thc news of the abandonment cf the Arctic whaling fleet eight vessels have sailed from this port to prosecute the fishery in that ocean 1 next season ships Duropa aud Jireh ferry, and barks Active, Amelia, Camilla, Illinois, Triton, mid i James Allen. Two of these, the Uuropa and Cainilhi, were being fitted before the news of the disaster was received, aud the Active was ready to sail. Bark Joseph Maxwell will also sail from this port for ihe Arctic next week, and bark Acors Barns will be dis-; patched from New London this month. Bark Nau-: tilus, of this port, has sailed from St. Helena for the same ground, by orders from home, aud bark Live 1 Dak, ou the New Zealand ground, will sail for the North in the Spring.

Ships Josephine, Marengo and Bartholomew Gos- nold, and barks Alaska, Helen Mar, Northern Light, Sea Breeze and Trident hod sailed for the Arctic be-! fore the receipt of the news, and with barks Midas, Progress and Lagoda, of this port, which escaped from the general wreck in the Arctic, will make quite a respectable fleet there next season. Doubtless other ships at sea will nlso be ordered to the same ground. Hawaiian bark Arctic and British bark Far Away will alo go North. An American sensation experienced by tho i Crand Duke Alexis was tho receipt in Chicago of i thirty or forty letters, all from females, asking assistance in some shape or other. One young lady, from Western New i ork, begged, through six closely-written pages, for a sum to enable her to marry a widower whom she loved dearly.

They wcro both so poor they could not marry without money. The Duke instructed the Mayor that if be found in the letters any nppral be deemed worthy, to honor it in a moderate way. Who would not le a Duke? The Emperor and Empress of Brazil have made themselves very popular in their European trip, and the latter has just added a new feather to her cap and shown herself a woman of nervo and heroism. While at Naples, the Imperial party visited tbe famous Azure (J rot to. The Empress remained outside in a small boat.

Suddenly the helmsman, by whose side she was sitting, fell overboard, and would have drowned bad she not caught him and held him up till help could arrive. Thc commission given by the Czar Alexander to (ieneral Le Flo, to visit Versailles and present to Thiers his affectionate greeting, has great political significance. It is not only a token of personal regard, but a clear testimony that tbe Thiers Government is Cordially supported by Russia. While, therefore, this friendly net of Emperor Alexander strengthens the present Government of Fiance, it deals a fatal blow to the hopes of the Legitimists, Orleanists and Bona-partiHts. Napoleon still believes that the present Provisional Government is illegal and that his claims to the Crown will not be defeated except by a plebiscite he therefore defers action until the people arc called upon to vote on tbe T-ertna-ncnt form of government in France.

But this manifestation of friendship made by the Czar in favor of Thiers, as also the support be has received from every other nation, will have the effect of making the people vote in favor of a man who is popular at home and abroad as against a very unpopular one. New Departure. A clergyman at Council Bluffs, Iowa, has made a new departure in the matter of 44 hitching up folks, lie has fwept away the old established rules of marrying for a fee, and announces that he Bhall hereafter marry by weight, charging four cents per pound for the happy man and two cents lor the bride.
