That never shall float in the speech ;

A LEPERS' VILLAGE.
1 t
A Curious Totcn in the Sandicich Islands.
In Willhra R. Bliss new book of trav
el in the Sandwich Islands he describes
as follows a "Leper Village."
"mere is leprosy; in me Hawaiian
blood, but none of ii in to be seen in Hono
lulu, as those
sent In tne lepers village,
of Mnlokai.
"To visit the settlement on Moloka:,
which is about thirty mites east of Houo
lulu, we embark on in clipper-schooner
bound to windward touring down a cargo
of sugar from Lihaiua a towu ou the
inland of Maui, where Jepers may be seen
in its oue broad street
"After rollins: to stsiboard and rolling
to larboard all night )ong, the schooner
'heaves to' nt sunrise off the southern
coast of the i.-land, aiil we are set ashore
from a small boat iu the Utile harbor of
Capnnkaki.
' 1 he island is green with vegetation,
but is nearly deserted. There arc less
th.-tn fifteen hundred ' persons no it, aU
though it contains onehuudred and seven
ty square miles. As we ride on horseback
from the shore ? up the afcendui!;
Dupuy df fines the priests), whole minion
will then only be to deceive tbejignorant.
This is our programme. But before put
ting it into execution it is necessary to
purify society, a bleeding is accessary,
but a great, an extraordinary kue:, It is
necessary to cut off the rotten branches of
the social tree, iu order that it may grow
up lusty and vigorous. You now know
our desires, our aspirations, Irx pressed
w'uh all openness, mid with thi boldness

Whipping Tost. According to the
new fa: gird notions of humanity the
whipping post" is a relic of barbarism,
but we submit tbe question, whether it Is
more barbarous to keep a convict all win
tcr in a cold jail without smelling a fire,
or to try him b fore a magistrate and if
found culty, take him to the whipping
post and give him ' f r:y lashts, save one.
v c contend that there is a deal more bo
manity in the latter not to say auythiag
of the vast expeue that attaches to feed
in" convicts iu tbe jail at public etpense.
