DEATH OF HnAM r. HAWKINS.

A letter came to hand this morning,
written by Charles We'll, at Tumbez,
Peru, which brings the melancholy
tidings that Hiram R. Hawkins died on
the goth of last November. Mr.. Haw.
kins was the American Consul at Tum,
bez, and will be remembered by many
Of our readers as being Associate Editor
Of the NIws up to the month Of May,
1865, when he received his appointment
~ Consul, and repaired to Peru, where
be arrived on the sth Of July, 1865. HI
was the oldest son of Captain John
Hawkins, of Lansingburg, New York
and at the time Of his death was about
forty years of age. he came to the
Pacific coast in ls49; and taking up hi:
residence in Placer county, California,
he resided there until 1868, when he re-
moved to this State. Mr.. Hawkins was
awell-educated and q well-bred gentle
man, and had q large circle Of friends
and acquaintance in his old home IN
California, and also here, who will lear
Of his untimely death with deep regret.
Like all of US, being human, he a his
harmless faults, but they were faults OF
the judgment and an uncomfortable vice,
while he had a good, a true and a loyal
heart for his friends and his country.
May his errors be buried in oblivion,
and may his good and manly traits live
in the memory Of his friends.

A HEAVENLY WospER.-Astronomical
phenomena appear to be the order Of
the day. Since the failure of the me-
teoric shower, another subject has been
started which is creating much interest
and learned discussion among the
Swans. Somewhere between the eth
and 18th of December, 1866, an ~astrono-
mical phenomenon has occurred, is oc-
curing, or will occur, the like Of which
will not be again visible for four thou
sand years, at, least. This heavenly
wonder is the conjunction Of the sun,
moon, Mercury, Venus and the earth.
At the time of occultation, all five could
be intersected by the same straight line
tit, tat, too; Ave in q row. A we'll
known astronomer, abiding to the
event, says I: "I'have turned the plani-
tarium back two thousand years, and
during that space Of time no event Of a
like character. has occurred; | have
turned it forward two thousand years in
the future, and in that long period the
occultation will not be repeated. What
effect will will be produced on our globe
BY the Intervention Of so many bodies
between it and the sun ] am unable to
say. The attractive power of the solar
influences may be weakened, but to
what extent no calculation based on
precedent or philosophy can afford any
idea. The!completeness of the %occulta-
ton, owing 70 the rapid movements Of
the planets, will be of short duration,
and the occasion may pass without any
physical Indication that such q maze in
the dance Of the stars had taken place"

THE squirting toward putting the
people of the States that emasculated
themselves by rebellion under Terrific
rial governments which has manifested
itself in Congress, makes all the fighting
rebels and the Copperhead rebels squirm
amazingly, and they are trying to en-
trench themselves against it by consti-
tutional arguments. Arguments drawn
from that source were always the pets
of these very men who in~augurated war
and fought desperately for years to de-
stroy the Constitution. What a ire
meudous regard they have for that ven-
cradle instrument ! : Funny, isn't it?

0John McGinness.o

Have you seen John McGinness in
California? Perhaps you ask who is
John McGinness? Well, that is just
what we want to know. I saw by the
Tribune recently that John McGinness
had been appointed by President John
son Minister at Stockholm. But this is,
evidently, not our John McGinness.
Picking up the Herald on Monday morn
ing I read the following announcement
under the head of deaths:
"McGRsEss-Suddenly of heart dis
ease, on Sunday, Dec. l6, John McGin-
ness, aged 80 years."
"His wife mourns his loss"
Notwithstanding the inimitable pathos
of this epitaph, l Am constrained to be-
lieye some other John McGinness is
mourned, as our John is blessed with a
numerous circle of inquiring friends.
You remember the Irishman who created
such a little lutter of excitement in
Washington, shortly after the assassina-
ton of President Lincoln, by volunteer
ing to testify to the exact words used
by Booth when he leaped upon the
stage: "I'm Sick" this "a Pats
version), "send for McGinniss |" The
story was extensively copied in all the
newspapers East and West. In the town
of Monterey, CAL, there resides an old
gentleman whom l shall call DR.. B.
Imagine an oyster in some dark, I'M
fathomed cave Of ocean. Now, imagine
a pearl within said oyster, and you have
q type of the innocence, seclusion and
the imperiousness, withal, Of my friend
DR.. B. Shortly after the above story
appeared he was drawn out to attend q
small village picnic. One of the parties
present, having probably recently re-
turned from San Francisco, had a news
paper in his possession from which he
read the Irishman's story. Tho COM
pany laughed, but the Doctor pondered
the words in his heart. Finally, and
when the laughter had entirely subsi-
ded, the Doctor broke in, slowly and
refectiyely: "I wonder what he want
ed to send for McGinnis for ~ And
then, as if he had reached the conclu-
sion of the whole matter, III suppose he
must haze been q friend of his"

His course in Congress has been such
