Description | Published by the Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon from 1845 to 1885, The Friend focused on temperance and Christian mission to seamen. It began as a monthly newspaper that included news from both American and English newspapers, and gradually expanded to adding announcements of upcoming events, reprints of sermons, poetry, local news, editorials, ship arrivals and departures and a listing of marriages and deaths. From 1885 through 1887, it was co-edited by the Revs. Cruzan and Oggel. The editorship then passed to Rev. Sereno Bishop, who held the post until the publication of the paper fell under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in April of 1902 where it remained until June 1954. Since then, it has continued in a different format under the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ up to the present day, making it the oldest existing newspaper in the Pacific. Note that there are some irregularities in the numbering of individual issues, so that two issues may have the same volume and number, but different dates will distinguish them. |

Caroline Island, the point of observation selected, is one of two small islands at which the eclipse was total, Flint Island, about ninety miles distant, being the other. Caroline Island is situated in latitude 10° south, and longitude 150° 15 1 west of Greenwich, and four thousand three hundred miles almost due west of Callao. The Hartford reached Caroline Island on April 20th. After an anchorage was effectell, the scientific party was landed, reinforced by Lieutenant Qualtrough, who volunteered to use the photo-heliographs brought by the English astronomers; by Past Assistant Surgeon Dixon who agreed to use an additional telescope, by Cadets Fletcher and Doyle, and by a guard of ten men. Soon after reaching the islands the English and American scientists were joined by .?IIessienrs Janssen, Pasteur and Trouvelot, sent out by the French Government; by Professor Tacchini, sent by the Italian Government, and by J)rofessor Palisa, sent by the Austrian Government. Among the pleasant news from abroad, nothing is more so than to learn that our youths are prospering in their studies. From time to time, we have been exceedingly gratified that Henri Goulden McGrew, was making good progress in his medical studies at Michigan University, and after graduating expects -to study for a few months in New York and then return to Honolulu. That university has bern educating several of our choice young ladies and gentlemen. Lately special good news came respecting the daughters of the late Rev. C. B. Andrews, one having married and gone as missionary to Turkey ; another married and is now studying medicine in Vienna Austria: another married and settled in New Jersey city, or rather Orange, New York ; and a fourth professor in Wellesley Female College, Massachusetts. Young William Kinney has just returned from his studies, m the same university, and is now practicing law in Honolulu. READING RooM AT SAILORS' Hoi\IE. -The Executive Committee of the " Honolulu Sailors' Home Society," have made the necessary arrangements, to keep this Reading Room supplied with papers and periodicals, the same as when sustained by the Y. M. C. A. Free to all. Pen, ink and writing materials, will always be supplied gratuitously, by calling upon Mr. Dunscombe, who has so long and faithfully served strangers, seamen and others, visiting the Reading Room. Mr. D. P. Peterson, book-keeper of Pierce & Co., has kindly consented to collect funds among shipmasters, sailors and r oth ers 1or spporting this Room at the Sailors' Home. Reading DEATH OF RUTH KEELIKOLANl. The death of this distinguished Hawaiian chiefess, severs almost the very last link binding the present with the past chiefo and Royalty of the Hawaiian Islands. Her' grandfather was King of Hawaii when Cook discovered the islands. Her mother Pauahi, was the first wife of Governor Kekuanaoa, so distinguished in Hawaiian history. His second wife Kinau, was the mother of two kings, Kamehameha IVth and Vth. She was the cousin of the Hon. Mrs. C. R. Bishop and sister-in-law of Queen Emma. The deceased having survived these kings and the other children of Kekuanaoa, became the rich heiress of the royal family. She was born February 9, 1818, being at the date of her death, May 24th, in her 66th year. It seems fitting that she should have died at Kailua, Hawaii, that old home and capitol of Ha,Yaiian Royalty, where Kamehameha I died in May, 1820. Her life extended from the days of heathenism to the present time, having been born a few months before the abolition of idolatory. Her funeral will take place on the 15th of this month, and due notice will appear in the daily and weekly papers.

The four Georges died in their order at 67, 77, 82 and 78, and William the Fourth at 72. All the queen's uncles and aunts lived to old age." So writes a Hilo correspondent, interested in the subject. a" We had designed to say something in our little paper, about the new "grog shop" recently opened in King street, but our neighbors the Gazette, Press and Bulletin, have done it better than we could have done. We will only add, " grog shops " are miserable affairs, of which nothing good can be said, by even those who patronize them. vVe would advise the proprietor to study up -the history of the man, who once kept a liquor saloon, on the identical spot where this is situated, and take warning from his suicidal end. The sad fate which has attended the last years and final end of so many saloon keepers in Honolulu, one would suppose, would prove a solemn warning to those men engaged in the liquor business. "Be sure your sin will find you out." where, it may be stated that in Boston there has been but one arrest of Chinamen in seven years. It is common for some of our papers here to say: "Oh, those Eastern folks will find what the Chinese are ! " We have not the slightest doubt that they will find that too many of them are very bad. But we trust they will not commit the mean mistake, nor do the legal justice; of charging their badness on their having been born in China nor on their Mongolian blood.-Boston Paper. 51 of the treaty. Mr. Bond of Boston, based his reply to Professor Peabody, upon this very ground. Now it is for our moneyed men, to sustain Mr. Bond's argument. We may have more to say upon this subject hereafter.

He has a brother residing in Sacramento, Cal. l:lif" ~alifornia papers please copr. WOI.FE-- In this city, .i\Iay 8th, Walter Rodolph \Volfe, son of Mr. C. F. Wolfe, aged 6 years and 8 months. DAMON-Died in Reading, Massachusetts, Mr. John Damon, March 9th, in the 89th year of his age. He was born in Readmg, February 6, 1795, in the 5th generation, after his forefather, John Damon, who emigrated from Reading, England, in 1633, where he was born in 1720. Many persons of this mame are still residing in Reading, Massachusetts, The Reading Chronicle of March I7, 1883, contains the following obituary notice of John Damon: "He was the child of pious parents, who dedicated him in his infancy to the service of God. He united with the Old South Church nearly seventy years ago. For a life to stretch from century to century is an event rarely seen, and more so if through these years one enjoys all the faculties of his heart and brain, keen and vigorous to the last. This was the case with Mr, Damon. His memory was a perfect encyclopaedia of knowledge that carried in retentive grasp dates and minutia •as readily as the more marked events of the years that have come and gone in long procession. He was a man of great kindness of heart, and children alwas found in him a sympathizing friend. Three children survive him, two daughters and one son." Tomb stones in Reading and other places whither the family have migrated, show that many descendants of the original John Damon, have attained to any advanced age. One lies buried in Amherst, N. H., aged 93; another 111 Nashua, N. H., aged 90; another in Westminister, Mass., aged 97; and many others over four score. FULLER-In this city, May 6th, Annie, wife of Orlando Fuller, of San Francisco, Cal., aged 6o years, 10 months and 12 days. Rev. Alexander Mackintosh and many other teachers think the kingdom ought to have a uniform set of text books- a belief which many parents will be likely to consider a common sense one.
