SOMETHING WRoNG.-A writer to the
Chicago Tyi6xse gives hint Of a mysterious
reality upon which an ingenious aud char
acteristic romance might be built. In the
year 1852, there came to beautiful town
of Western Illinois, on the banks of the
Mississippi, gentleman named Hazeltine,
who informed those with whom he became
rcauainted that he had left wife and
family in Vermont, for whom he should
send as soon as a new home in the West
was prepared for their reception. Pur-
chasing choice real estate in the town,
erecting upon it a fine residence, and en-
tering largely into profitable business. he
was presently ready to be rejoined BY those
nearest his heart, and rejoiced IN the op-
portunity to send East for them by gen.
tleman about to make flying visit thither.
The expected wife and children, however,
never came. While the husband and fa-
ther was eagerly looking for them every
day. in their stead came letter whose
revelations seemed to bow and blight the
recipient like witheriug disease. What
the actual tidings we're Mr.. Haxeltine's
nearest neighbors and friends tn the West
never knew; but from the moment Of read
ing them he went about like one broken in
every hope of life. At once selecting a

ton, conveyed all his property to his wife.

A Pillow Case.

A gentleman of Indianapolis, asking nc.
commodation for the night at hotel in a
town some forty miles from his own city,
was at first informed that every room in
the house was occupied. There being no
other first class hosiery in the place, the
traveller importuned so earnestly for hos
pitality that the landlords wits were stim-
ulated to good effect, and he finally remem-
bered that the usual guest of one Of his
rooms, a master-mechan from the State
capital who supervised some public works
in the town, was to be absent from the
house that night, and would experience no
great injury If gentlemanly stranger was
assigned to his deserted quarters for one
evening. Consequently, after but little de-
lay, the Indianapolitan was conducted to the
bed chamber Of courtesy, where, with all
the grateful anticipations Of tired man on
such an occasion, he retired to slumber.-
With the last stretch of the right arm un-
der the pillows, he was about to drop
away" when his extended hand suddenly
came in contact with cracking package
of paper; and the abrupt revival Of all his
waking faculties by the unusual incident,
he quickly discovered that the paper had
the consistency and foldiugs Of letter
sheet. Drawing it from its place Of con-
cealment in the darkness, be became more
and more sure that he had captured secret
epistle, and with curiosity more feminine
than masculine, determined to re.hght his
lamp and examine his prize. 1t was q let.
ter, without wafer or seal, and not even ad-
dressed; but q girlish Christian name ap-
peared as its signature, and the hand-writ-
ing was that of q woman. Not being trou-
bled with chivalrous sensibilities, or having
lost them all by citizenship in the principal
divorce State Of the Union, the traveller
had no hesitation about reading the mis-
sive, which he could soon understand was
not the first one thus posted, or bed-posted
to the proper occupant Of the room OF
which he, the reader, was but the Temporal
ry tenant. The writer Of the communica-
ton addressed her unnamed correspondent

minding him that though his present bond.

Chamber OF Commerce.

Is needed in Honolulu, and We hereby call the
attention of our merchants TO the consideration
of the subject. Some years ago, We had an,
association of merchants here, under the above
title. principally set on foot by MIR. Aldrich,
formerly of the firm of Bishop i Co., bankers,)
and Mr.. j. 7. Waterhouse, who is still a promi-
nent merchant of this city: While the Chamber
of Commerce was in active existence, it possessed
and exerted such an influence on the business
transactions of this city and of the country gem
orally, that it may be said to have been a con-
trolling power. The then Government, (Mr- ID.
L. Gregg being Minister of Finance) frequently
submitted TO the Chamber of Commerce, for
advice, questions relating to duties, and other
matters pertaining to the of the coun-
try. Such a policy of mutual confidence and
/ consultation, cannot but be beneficial to all, and
we hope 10 see it revived.
All our circumstances of position, soil and
climate are such that We must depend on foreign
commerce for a living. Let us pay attention to
this fact in time. Questions have already arisen
between the officials of the customs and merchants
resulting in bad feeling, and which might have
been obviated, had we a consulting body, known
as a Chamber of Commerce. Another forcible
argument in favor of such an institution is, that
it would result in reconciling differences which
might arise between merchants, in business trans
actions.
We remarked above, that the institution was a
very useful one when it was in 0cfire existence. 1t
still lives, but sleeps. We believe that Mr.. w. l..
Green was its last elected President, and that Mr..
a. j. Cartwright still holds the Office of Secretary.
The last that we remember ofour Chamber of Com
merce was a meeting several years ago, when His
Excellency, c. G. Harris, tie then Minister of
Finance, hid before it the project of a Reciprocity
Treaty between this Government and that of the
United States. The matter was fully discussed
by the persons best able to speak on the subject
the merchants, as being the best pOsted,-and
the subsequent negotiations of our Government
officials at Washington, (Which, however, have
not resulted in securing the treaty SO much de-
the Chamber of Commerce.
Great Britain, the first commercial country in
the world, recognizes the importance of the sub
ject of which we are speaking, by maintaining a
distinct branch OF the Cabinet, known as the
Board of Trade, of which a veteran merchant and
manufacturer, John Bright, is the President. No
change in the tariff and no rules of custom-house
business is ever undertaken in that country with
out a reference to and consultation with the
merchants. And the same is true of the United
States, Germany, and all commercial countries of
tho world.
With these remarks, we leave the subject for
the present, promising to again refer to it in a
future number.

United states Elections.

The Congressional elections for the FoNy-Second
Congress are nearly all over. Parties will stand
about 15S Republicans to 90 Democrats. This
will give the Republicans a majority of about
sixty-three in Congress, which is a substantial
endorsement Of President Grant.
In the twenty months of Grants. Administra-
ton, which expired on the Sd of November,
about one-twelfth part of the whole funded debt
of the United States has been paid all the
Southern States, once in rebellion, have been re-
constructed, and will raise this year four million
bales of cotton, with free labor and the rights
of citizenship to all born on American soil has
been made universal. These are proofs of pretty
good craftsmanship, and the people endorse them.
Members Of Congress chosen at these elections
do not take their places until the 4th of next
March.
