Ono molan- oholy fact, which any school geography will bo found to contain, is that tho islands, whon dis- coverad by Cook, contained 400,000 peoplo, nnd that now tho population is roduced to about 1,500, of which numbor over 7,000 do not be- long to tho uative raca. Sugar is tho chief product of tha Baudwioh Islands, oud itis over this reahn, dwvided much by walef, and saieed by the caprico of Naturo from the bod of tho Pacific, that King Kalakuun rulos. Nows of King Kal's devarturo from San F'ran- ciaco, over tho Central Paciflc route, having beon duly received, thaoflicers of tha Clleago, Purlington & Quivey Rairond resolved to show their traditional hospilality by moeting tha Roy- al guest at somo distauce from town and giving Lim A CORPIAL CHICAGO RECEPTION.

Tho object- ivo point was the Villago of Somonauk, nbout G0 miles from this eity, whero tho train which had tho honor of flying tho Bandwich flag was to bo mot and boarded, ‘Tho trip was & pleasant ono, tho way boing enlivencd by song and story, tho calumot of peace and the eparkling fluid which often cheers and sometimes incbrintes, although ihe latior charactoristic was, hoppily, not ap- paront yostorday, becauso Ropublican Ohi- cago would disduin to sppesr giddy in tho presenco of South Bea Majosty, though oll tho vinlago of Clampagno wero to foam around i, Doro solid comforts wero also provided, and tho rallrond oflicors provea thomsclyes to bo woriby of belonging to ono of the best roads in the Uniled States, TFi- nully thovillago with tho hardjsana was reachod, and thore, on tho ongine and on tho long train of cars, tluttored INNUNERADLE FLAGS of America and tho Bandwich Islands,—tho Jatter bunting being o queer combination of our colors ond_those of the Unjon Jack. Quiten large crowd of country peoplo thronged nround the regal train, in tho Dircctors’ enr of which —tho one furthest back—XKing Kal was reclining, sutferiug very much from o bilious, attack, Lronght on by long traveling on tha cars, Congequently our rural consins woro disnppointed in tho objeot of their vikit, for oven Majesty can- not bo emileful of countenanco and suave of manner when tho stomach is unocasy, aud tho head racked by pitlless nchos.

R.=Aro they full-blooded Hawniians ? Capt, Whitnoy—Without a oross. No ‘*bar ainitor * thore, I aseuro you. ‘I'ho King is, howaver, rathor different in appearance from most of his countrymon.

Rt.—Do tho Indies preservo thoir good looka to a very matureago ? Capt, W.--No,~they bavo a tondoncy to grow fat after five and twenty, which rather spoily thom. Although o apparoutly robust, they ore, afier oll, & most delicto raco, owd dle off in olarming num- bers. The censuacs takon in tho years 1870 and 1871 show that tho deaths in thoso yonrs'excacded tho Dbirths by about 1,800.

Tho Governor—Woll, thoro are vory many causes, Among thom the undonbtod ono that civilization—tho contact of tho Caucasion with any other raco almoxt tuovitably produces the decay of tho Iattor. This is tho caso with us, Whon Coolt camo to oar islands wo were bar- barous but healthy, Our habits wero difforont, In thoso days my pooplo, owing to thelr bonutic 1ful climato, wore vory littlo clothing. THE AASIONARIES camo firat with tho Biblo, and thoy spol of flgdoavos and tho indecency “of " belng nude, Our poople did not wish to sbocl tha feolings of tho whites, and adopted thoir clothing. Thoy dropped the mnativo mantlo which, i old times, uscd to shiold them from tho oceasionnl Pacille winds during our short wintor. T'hoy woro the samo light clothing in_wintor ss in summer after Cook camo, and this bred eonsumption,—nll mannor of lung die- eonses,—which carried’ them off by thousands, 1t is somewhat romarfable that whorover tho missionaries came—I will oxcept THE TOMAN CATHOLICS— depopulntion followed, 5 R.—\Why do you except tho Roman Catholics, Govornor ? Gov._Knpona—\Well, becauso they havo a bot- tor modo of dealiug with tho hoathen, as wo wero called, Tirst of all, tho Romau Catholic missionary docs not commenco his spiritual lsbors by ramming tho Bible down unwilling thronts,~ 1o begins by toaching tho pooplo agri- cuituire and tbrift, aud gradually he loads them on until they learn to love him. Then, with tho dacility of littlo children, thoy listen to his religious advieo, nd nfter 4 time embraco _hin glowing bolief, Wwhich appears to suit thom bot- ter than tho coldor creeds of tho Disscnters. Tho Intter bava beon rathor s failure in tho BSouth Sea Isiunds, T.—How do you aceount for it? Qov. Kapenu—DBeenuso thoy talked etornal Bible end nothing clse. ‘Thoy were forover ni- tonding to th spiritual wants of tho pooplo, but had nocare for their temperal roquircmonts, as thio Roman Catholics had. To prove what I say, 1 Linvo only to assort that in the islands whero tho Catholic faith obtains, the popnlation has not decreased with the torriblo rapidity which it las in Protestant ecctions, LLnow it appearsstrange, buv it is so. THE LEARING RELIGIONS. R.—What ata the leading roligiona in your country ? Gov. Knpenn—The Roman Catholic, Episcopal, and_Congrogationnl, 'Thore aro Mormons, but we do not recognizo thont. R.—To which of the roligions you linve mon- tioned does King Knlakaua belong, Governor? Gov. Knpena—To nona ! T,—I hope it is not impertinent on my part to inquiro which faith yon profess ? o Governor laughed lightly, shrugged his shoulders, aud anawored gaily—** Ol I boloug, LIKE ALL NEWAIAPER MEY, to tho *big Chureh.'” T.—Have woe_the honor of claiming you as a brother_journalist? Gov. Rapena—Yott have. T cdited two papors in my time, and I am not very old, My fires pa- per was tha Ae-an-0'koa, which menus, in Ln- slisl, tho New Regime, Tho other was the Ka- mannaiea, which wenns the Times, which is still in existonce, althongh I hnvo no connection with it now, Iusod to get Tug Omicaco I'nin- uxe and othor of your papors ns oxebanges.

Roman Catlio- o Gov, Knpona—I cannot, of course, go into the n\lh{uct at'any longth. By boliof is, that, whilo Spain, Italy, aud nomo other countries woro ronlly and truly Catholic In spirit,they wero most vigoroits, France can hardly ba called Catholic, in tho full sensa of thotorm,nosw.Spain irs pormitted Lier religion to degoncrato, lko hor nrms pud her calonies. 1taly Lag becomo greatly alienntod from tha old Church. Yet, in tho days of thoir glory, they wero gmauey CGatholics thoy spread thoir powar_over all the world, aud woro its clvilizors.
