Nothing of a compromising nature In his transaction with the company could be charged against him. Instead of using his official influence to promote the interests of his com pany, lie stated that. if he had been oily a private individual lie would have lad an lopportunity of advancilg their interest to a much greater extent. lis whole connection with the com pany has been honorable andI(1 manly, and should lay at rest many of' the criticisms which have been passed uponl him.

The Inhabitants of the fat South Paolile coast islandb are In inany re spects stralnge humyian beings, and not the least singular fact in connection with theil is their manner and custom of life, both in the domestic circle and whe h1attling with other tribes. Some 6,000 miles from this city is the Mar shall group of Islaids, t he inhabitants of which are conspicuous for their warlike propeisities,. great size, and gi8.antic strenigth, together with other traits of stro:gly original character, and regarding with little or nothing is known in the civilized world. A few days ago the three-masted schooner John Ilancock returtied from a trading cruise to the Gibe and Marshall groups anti the' master of the vessel, Captain William Chapman, secured a valuable collection of curiosities In the shape of war clubs, spears, boat paddles, shells, etc. With Captain Chipinan, as a passenger, was a yotng mnan, 8. F. Gray, coniected with the house of A. Crawford & Co., of this city, who during his visit to the islands, gained much interesalng information concern ing the islands and their inhabitants. The natives are largc and powerful. They are not unlike Ilie New Zealand cre, being of a dark, copper-cotored complexion. In addtlon to a natural inclination For wartIfa, they are very treacherous, and in some portions of the group are caiiibals.

Ill carviiig they display great ingelluity, and while the figures as shown on the paddles are not ex actly pretty, they arc very intricate, aid are iot unlike similar work done inl Chitn. The figures on the paddle represent. idols, and acecordinllu to the islander's belief, if 1pon his boatt pad dile there is carved a figtre of all idol he can safely navigate anywhere. In thi4 Collilection it may he well to state that these islanders aro the boldest and most skillful canoe navigators inl the Pacitic. Tley make voyages extend ing over many months, trusting to LProvidenice, or rather minl, to supply them with fresh water.
