which was not reflected from the faces of the company. A row of
boys led the singing, a young man “turned the word” of those who
spoke in English, and several led in brief prayers which we could
not understand, but which sounded sensible and devotional.
In the morning we took a more particular view of the premises.
Mr. Williams’ house stands just in front of the site of the old
residence of Mr. Raymond and Mr. Thompson, a slight hollow and
small bank being the only things to mark the place where it stood.
While twenty years had crumbled to mother earth, buildings and
fences, and produced a jungle that made it almost impossible to
identify the site, the cashew, orange and bread-fruit trees had
been going on with their steady growth, and are now doing good
service with their fruit and shade. The flats along the banks of
the river, that had much to do with the unhealthfulness of the
location, on account of which it was abandoned, are probably the
same now that they were then.
At our request, the two surviving Amistad captives came to see us,
Mr. Parn and Mr. Smith. The former had a pleasant smiling face,
but was too deaf to converse. The latter wore a rugged-looking
countenance, and after a little coaxing told us something of his
early life, dwelling especially upon the reason why the Amistads
rose up and killed the officers of the vessel on which they were
being carried to America. He said the cook told them that they were
to be killed and eaten, and showed them a huge kettle in which they
were to be boiled. So they rescued themselves from the sad fate
that seemed to await them by slaying their captors, acting on the
same principle that Stanley did when the natives on the Congo tried
to make “meat” of him and his companions.
Chief Geo. Thompson Tucker came to pay his respects. He was
educated in the mission and was a pupil of Geo. Thompson. He is not
a Christian, but favors Mr. Williams’ work, and renders him much
assistance. He wore pants and shoes, and a frock made of country
cloth in a country fashion. He converses in English fluently, and
sometimes interprets for Mr. Williams.
We desired to visit the cemetery, which Mr. Thompson had removed
to some distance, that the sight of so many graves of fallen
missionaries might not depress the living. The dew being heavy and
the “road” having grown up somewhat, Chief Tucker had two of his
men go on in advance, and trim off the overhanging branches with
their cutlasses, which they used with wonderful dexterity. The
cemetery is partly surrounded by a ditch and bank, Mr. Thompson
having concluded that this was more permanent than any fence that
could be erected. After a little search by the Chief and old Mr.
Smith, three graves were found, ranged side by side at the foot
of a mango tree—those of Mr. and Mrs. Tefft and Jane Winters. The
wood of which Mr. Thompson made head boards, and which he said did
not “know how to rot,” has in some way obtained that undesirable
knowledge, and even the planks laid on the graves by some later
visitor have crumbled nearly into dust. The other graves that were
identified were those of Mr. Garnick, Mr. Carter, Mrs. Arnold and
Mr. Thompson’s son George, who died June 6, 1853, at the age of
six years. Seven mango trees between one and two feet in diameter
mark these resting places. To me there was a strange fascination
about this consecrated spot, and words cannot express the feelings
I experienced as I walked there among the sainted dead in that
distant, strange land.
We next visited the arrow-root farm and saw the boys dig the
bulbs, which resemble the sweet potato in shape. Then we went to
the little mill where the bulbs are grated and strained, ready
for drying and packing. Mr. Williams finds the cultivation and
manufacture of arrow-root reasonably profitable, and he deserves
encouragement in teaching the natives this and other industries,
for the great need of West Africa, apart from the Gospel, is a
knowledge of remunerative agriculture.
The church bell had a strange sound, and we learned that it was an
old gun-barrel that had been planted in the ground in a native’s
door-yard to keep witches out of the house, but upon the conversion
of the owner, had been given up to Mr. Williams, and had thus been
converted from a profane to a sacred use.
Fifteen church members, twelve inquirers, one hundred attendants
upon Sunday service, twenty-three family and nine day pupils,
the house and barrie, a clearing of three or four acres, the
cultivation of various crops, the manufacture of arrow-root and
frequent visits to neighboring towns, give some idea of the
industry, perseverance and Christian zeal of this devoted laborer
during the past three years, and seem to make it possible to
continue the work on this spot of so many hallowed associations and
memories.

* * * * *
_Politics and the Mission._—Our Legislature, the first one convened
under our new Constitution, has adjourned, and the Chinese are
yet here. Denis Kearney has been made to “go,” and his party is
just “going;” the former, in prison attire, to break stones on the
public highway, and the latter to befitting insignificance and
complete disintegration. But how to assure it that “the Chinese
must go,” is a problem by which, now as heretofore, our Californian
statesmanship(!) finds itself sore baffled. Among our newly-fledged
legislators, there was scarcely one, at the opening of the
sessions, but had his pet scheme,—a sure cure for the Chinese ail;
and the river of Egypt scarce brought forth frogs more plentifully
than did our noisy Legislature its anti-Chinese bills. But most
of them died before they were fairly, fully born, and the rest
are either squelched under the weight of the U. S. Constitution,
or else, not daring to face that foe, have retired into prudent
dormancy. The gassy proclamation of our Board of Health, declaring
Chinatown a nuisance, has dissolved into thin air, and that
district of our city is just as populous, just as busy, just as
noisy, and almost as filthy as it was before. Our Mayor, and the
doctors associated with him, may possibly have caused a little more
of the Chinese gold to be “placed where it would do most good;”
but, no other effect of their bombastic demonstration seems now to
be even dreamed of.
All this helps us hope that we shall be able to pursue our
mission-work with no special molestations, and that the result of
our summer campaign may be as bright as the out-look is just now.
_A Touching Farewell Service._—the following paragraph which
appeared in the _Pacific_ of April 14th, over the initials of
the Principal of our Central school, I am sure will interest our
readers. It explains itself:
“A very interesting and impressive meeting was held in Bethany
chapel on Thursday evening, April 8th. A large number of the
Chinese friends and scholars of Mrs. S. A. Worley and Misses Jessie
and Florence Worley, who for some years have been teachers in the
schools of the California Chinese Mission of this city, had met
together to bid these teachers farewell, as the family intended
going to their new home in Stockton on the following day. After
the regular exercises of Thursday evening, consisting of singing,
prayer and a short address in Chinese, the meeting was thrown open
to any who wished to speak or lead in prayer. The first who rose
spoke of his regret at their departure and his gratitude for their
kindness. He then said: ‘One year ago I hated Christian Chinese,
and I hated the name of Jesus Christ. Then Miss Worley came to
teach me, and read and explained the Bible to me, and by and by
I came to love Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and all those who
worship him.’ One after another the Chinese brethren came forward
to bear witness to their love for these devoted teachers, and their
sorrow for their departure. Many of them, like the first speaker,
testified that they had been brought to the knowledge of the saving
power of Christ’s love by the words and the example of their loved
teachers. More than one tremulous voice and dimmed eye, gave
evidence that their words were not the complimentary exaggerations
of Chinese courtesy, but came deep from hearts filled with love
and gratitude for kindness that had been bestowed upon them, and
overflowing with grief at parting from their benefactors. ‘We have
nothing to repay you, our dear teachers,’ they said, ‘for all your
kindness in teaching us your language, and in leading us to Christ;
but we can pray God that He will bless you and keep you wherever
you may go. You will go to Stockton and we will go to China, and
may never see one another again on earth; but in heaven we will
meet again.’
The frequent brief prayers, offered in Chinese, were unintelligible
to the Americans present, but the frequent recurrence of the words
‘Stockton’ and ‘Worley’ showed that these men, just awakened
from heathen darkness, had grasped the idea of an omnipotent and
loving Father, to whom they might confidently intrust their absent
friends. What an ample reward to these teachers for their earnest
and prayerful devotion must such testimony have been! What a
foretaste of heavenly bliss they experienced in seeing this fruit
of their labor in the redemption of so many souls from idolatry and
heathenism!
H. M. P.”
_More about Oroville._—I give, perhaps, more than its share of
notice to our new work in Oroville. But this is our first attempt
to reach the Chinese engaged in mining, and, probably, the first
systematic attempt ever made in California. On that account it
has a special interest and importance. The number thus engaged is
large, and no man careth for their souls. We have our first fruits
of the work there, in the person of Jee Kane, a very interesting
young man. He has joined the Association, thus professing faith in
Christ. Miss Waterbury is disposed to commence a work among the
women and children, and has one woman already under instruction who
seems thoroughly interested. Lee Haim, our greatly-valued helper
at Oroville, is obliged to return to China, and Lem Chung, of the
Sacramento Mission, takes his place for a time. Miss Waterbury
reports that there was a good attendance and evident attention at
his last preaching service, and after service his hearers crowded
about him asking him questions about the miracles of Christ, of
which he had been speaking. He told her, “I feel so _proud_ of
Christ. He was with me, helped me speak, put words into my mouth.”

[We give, just as they were written, two letters from Indian boys
at Hampton for our young readers to puzzle over. We know they will
sympathize with Jonathan’s longing for his ponies, and commend
his purpose and effort to be content without them and study hard.
Our older readers will doubtless be struck with the other letter
as curiously resembling that of a German attempting English.
His substitution of d for t, and of p for b is quite funnily
Teutonic.—ED. MISSIONARY.]

MY DEAR FRIEND:—I thought I would write to you a few line, use to
be in my home, last summer I went out on a hunting Buffalo away
off in the west, we off in Texes country, and I saw many Texes and
they was trying to fight the Pawnee, but every Pawnee was afraid,
because they are good many Texes that makes the Pawnee afraid just
like all white men the Pawnee do like them to fight and Texes kind
afraid do and they stop and them went home every one. Would come
back any more.
When I was a little boy I use to play all time would doing nothing
just only play all the time, now I like to worked hard like very
much indeed, because if I work hard and get some money note to go
away, that is the reason we like them for I come in Hampton Normal
I used to live in my tents and stay all time in my tents, when I
was a little boy I used to take care of them ponies all time and
every morning and take the ponies in a nice grass is and have good
to eat them nice grass note to way to take care of them. Now I am
doing to school I would take care of them horse and make fat horses
any more because I will try and be contented. My father used to
talk me about fight the Sioux a long time ago now stop fight and be
our friend all of them kind to each other. I went to school about
one year in my home that is the reason do know how to talk English
because I went to school one year. That is all I can say now
From your friend
JONATHAN HUSTICE.
