accompanied the general and the strangers on one of the Ocean Steam Navigation Company's large steamers on an excursion to the Cascades of the Columbia. On the way up we habitually gathered in a large room of observation, just in front of the lofty pilot house. Grant and most of the company were smoking, while he told incidents of his journey around the world. Among other things he described in a very graphic way his visit to Japan. He said he was received by the princes and officials at Tokio in great style. They were questioning him with reference to establishing a constitutional government in Japan. One of them said: General, we would like to have a government such as you have, or such as England has, but we are afraid that if we give the right of suffrage to the people they will vote us out of office; of course, we would like to participate in the liberal government that we desire to establish. The general replied: But do not go so fast; give the people a right to vote o

being followed with enthusiasm. Lafcadio Hearn made Japan his own. His Glimpses of unfamiliar Japan (1894), leaves from the diary of an Impressionist (1911), out of the East (1895), in Ghostly Japan (1899), and others are too well known to require comment. A contribution of much interest to this literature is Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore's Jinrikisha days in Japan (1891). She declares that Japan six times revisited is as full of charm and novelty as when I first went ashore from the wreck of the Tokio. A missionary who wrote Adventures in Patagonia (1880) wrote also Life in Hawaii (1882), both of them foundation books. He became identified with everything Hawaiian, and wrote many letters from there to The American journal of Science and to The missionary Herald. This indefatigable worker in the missionary realm was the Rev. Titus Coan, whose son, Dr. Titus Munson Coan, has written a brochure on The climate of Hawaii (1990) and on The natives of Hawaii: a study in Polynesian charm (1

n hands would tear Therefrom the token of His equal care, And make thy symbol of His truth a lie! The poor, dumb slave whose shackles fall away In His compassionate gaze, grubbed smoothly out, To mar no more the exercise devout Of sleek oppression kneeling down to pray Where the great oriel stains the Sabbath day! Let whoso can before such praying-books Kneel on his velvet cushion; I, for one, Would sooner bow, a Parsee, to the sun, Or tend a prayer-wheel in Thibetar brooks, Or beat a drum on Yedo's temple-floor. No falser idol man has bowed before, In Indian groves or islands of the sea, Than that which through the quaint-carved Gothic door Looks forth,—a Church without humanity! Patron of pride, and prejudice, and wrong,— The rich man's charm and fetich of the strong, The Eternal Fulness meted, clipped, and shorn, The seamless robe of equal mercy torn, The dear Christ hidden from His kindred flesh, And, in His poor ones, crucified afresh! Better the simple Lama scattering wide, Whe
