King Lunalilo died on the 3rd instant,
at his palace on the island of Hawaii.
His demise had been expected for several
days. The members of the Cabinet were
called together at once, and they ordered a
meeting of the Legislative Assembly on
February 18th, to consider the affairs of
the Government. AT kahoolawe, on the
4th instant, ii mass meeting declared in
favor of David Kalakua, the most power
full chief in the nation, as Lunallo's sue
cessor. Queen Emma, the widow of KAN
ehameha, is also named for the succession,
and there will probably be a severe contest
in the Legislature over the question.

The New York Stock Exchange was
victimized on Tuesday by singular hoax
While the Board was in session one of the
pages handed the vice President letter,
which he opened and read aloud. 1t was
to the effect that the Western Union Tele-
graph Company was about to issue some
seven millions of additional stock, and the
proceeds of the sale thereof to be applied
to an extension of the lines. The letter
purported to be signed by Mr.. Orion, the
President of the company. Scarcely had
tho letter been read before another was
handed to the vice President, purporting
to be signed by the President Of the Tole-
Go, Wabash and Western Railroad Com
pany, which gave notice of an increase in
the capital stock of said corporation to the
amount Of 10000, 600. Both Western
Union Telegraph and Wabash stock went
down-the former 81 per cent, the latter
% When the forgery was discovered one
party of Spectators found that they had
lost half a million of dollars. and another
party discovered that they had gained that
sum.

"a lady drowned,' they all cried in
confused chorus; and while Rob begar
tearing off his outer garments he heard
q word or two Of explanation.
''She went in after her dog" sobbed
the women; che WAS being dragged
away by the undertow.''
II sent my boy after a boat, sir, -
quavered the old man. "You see
bent of no USE"
my God!'' groaned George, 'It may

"Hold your tongue roared Rob-
half xad with apprehension and re.
morse, and fixing his eyes on the pur.
pie dress that rose and fell with the
cool wash of the waves. he dived from
the nearest rock and struck out for the
poor drowned girl.
To him the seconds seemed hours,
and the'waves as mountains as he strsg.
glea through them; yearning, striving,
fighting to reach that CLEAN of purple
rising and falling with the heaving OF
the sea. As he drew nearer, one white
arm became visible; then the loosened
chestnut locks, with the sea foam creep.
ing and curling through them, and
finally Spots pathetic eyes looked up,
motionless and dead, from where she
held hi1a, still pressed against her bo-
som.
Rob dared not look in her face lest he
should never bring her back to shore;
but he turned, grasping her dress with
his left hand, and finally stood erect in
shallow water, holding the girl who so
loved him that she risked her life to
save his dog.
They all ran to his assistance, but he
waved them away, and, with face pale
and distorted with anguish, and eyes
from which all gladness had fed, stag
gered up the beach and laid his burden
on the grass, still clasping poor little
Spot in her arms.
The people gathered round them in
awe-sfricken silence, but George burst
forth in a Mortified whisper: ''Oh.
Rob! she would not have been so reck-
less had she not thought you did not Gaze
for herr
Rob smoothed the chestnut hair
away from her face-thin and SORROW
full for love of him-and looked for the
last time into her tender brown eyes.
Then the agony of her eternal loss
burst upon him: at last he knew
she was the ''sort of girl he
knew he should love and
her to the day of his death.

show how utterly without financial
compass or rudder we were.
Nobody formed any plans or laid BY
any money for tomorrow or next week
or next year, and indeed, to most Of us
there really seemed to be no future l
remember the start it gave me when a
clergyman, visiting camp, asked num-
Der OF us whether our long stay in de-
fenslve works did not afford us an ex-
ceilcnt opportunity to study with
view to our professional life after the
war. We were not used to think Of our
selves as possible survivors of q strug-
gle which was every day perceptibly
thinning cur ranks. The coming of ul-
,tImate. failure we, saw clearly enough,
but the future beyond was blank.
The subject was naturally not q pleas
ant one, and by common consent it was
always avoided in conversation, until at
last we learned to avoid it in thought
as well. We waited gloomily for the end,
but did not care particularly to specu-
late upon the question when and how
the end was to come. There was q
vague longing for rest, which found
vent now and then in wild newspaper
stories Of signs and omens portending
the close of the war, but beyond this
the matter was hardly ever discussed.
There were compensations, however.
When gold was at twelve thousand per
cent. premium with US, we had the con-
ISOLATION of knowing that it was in the
neighborhood Of one hundred above par

Look at him as he slopes along with
the easy sauntering air of a man Of
fashion, who has nothing to do but
lounge about, holding his ivory-headed
cane in his apparently nerveless grasp
yet what work has that hand accom-.
plished!-two of the best acting plays
that hold their place on the stage, ia
say nothing of the novels, tales and
sketches so full of the bright creations
of his genius. The loss Of
this great man, orator, poet,
statesman, novelist, is still,
think, too recent to enable Us to real
ize the full extent of our national ca.
lamity. Although I know only too
well he sleeps IN that place where kings
and poets lie, yet 1 can hardly bring
myself to believe shall not meet him
again in some of his accustomed haunts
l have so often known him to be absent
for longer period, and turn up again
as bright, cordial and kindly as ever.
He had taken his seat, Of
course; but it is q curious thing that
he never once spoke in the House Of
Lords. That golden chamber never
once heard the sound Of the new peer
voice, any more than it did that Of his
illustrious rival, Macauley, the picked
Gtterateur of the Wings. They were
anxious to get Lord Lytton *'up'' on
the question Of the disestablishment Of
the Irish church; but he contrived to
evade the scent of the ''whip," who
sought him in vain, both at Knebworth
and in Grosvenor square.
The OF polloi were not very familiar
with Lord Lytton's presence. He was
not often seen in the parks or other
places Of public resort; but in that
part Of Oxford street bounded st one
