To our Foreign Readers.

•We intend to devote one eolumn eaeh week to English news and foreign items, raainly to interest such Havvaiians as are ieaming to read English, and to inform such as do not readi)y read Hawaiian, what are the leading articles in the paper. This number is an unusually interesting one, and contains, among other things: on the first page, a very graphic description of the Prussians' entry into and capture of Versailles, now the headquarters of the Prussian Army in Prance. It was written by an American hoy, sixteen years of age, who was present when the Prussians arrived tj^ere. On the fourth page is the translation of a story of a rich and proud American mer-

ohant, who disowned and disinherited his daughter for becoming a Christian during a revival in one of the cities. Within a few the rnerchant himself and all his family were also converted, and sent for the banished daught«r to return to them. Our editorials will be prepared with care, and from week to week we shall give the fullest war news, as well as news from all parts of the world. In short, we intend the to be a complete newspaper, and every number full of interesting and instructive news. We trust that foreigners, who ean, will aid in its circulation among all with whom they are in connection, believing that a good newspaper helps to improve the condition and habits of the natives, and rnake them more contented and useful.
