. A year in the New Hebrides, Loyalty Islands, and New Caledonia. Dayspring (Brigantine); Missions; Botany; Botany. The Native Church on Mar'e. W the scene. Donkeys in the South-Seas are rather rarities, I should fancy; but Mr. Jones has two, and very good-looking donkeys they are, appearing quite satisfied with their lot on a mission station in the Loyalties. They will probably have • easier times of it than many a poor donkey in the old country. The great object of attraction in connection with this station is the church, or the cathedral, as it is sometimes Native Church on Mar6, Loyalty Islands. It is composed of stone, plastered both on the inside and outside, the roof being of thatch. It is built in the form of a T> and a square tower rises up at one end, from the top of which a fine view can be obtained. At the time of our visit the church was not quite completed, the pews, platform, and gallery still remaining unfinished. When finished, it will hold, perhaps,' 800 people, and is cer- tainly a credit to the missionary and his people who have.
