REPORT OF CHAIRMAN OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
We have assembled to recognize the eth Ami

more than quarter of century ago, for the
benefit of seamen. 1t is confidently asserted that
the original design of the Society and the Home''
has not been departed from, although other
classes in the community have enjoyed its bene-
hts. NTH the change m the business and COM

Liverpool, London and other European cities.
Whe seamen have resorted hither M in former
years, (of their own free will, or sent hthsr by
Consuls,) strangers = NorSeSians, portuguese,
South Sea Islanders and other natiunalities have
here found a temporary home. These representa-
tiyes ot dozen different nationalites aud races,
have found in Mr.. and Mrs. Dunscombe, persons
who have thoughtfuily provided for their presant
necessities and sent them forward on the Journey
Of life. From not q few of these kind words OF
thanksgiving have bsen returned. like the follow
ing. from English sailor. who thus writes from
Portland, Oregon, under date Of Nov. &th last:
About a month ago, you remember the barqns

letters from ssamen and laborers, passing through
Honolulu to the various plantations on the ls.-

We beg to suggest that the Post Office author
tiles re-adopt the rule of take your turn in single
fe, SO AS to avoid tho crowding and injustice
that is experienced every mail day at the window.
Its broad window might be provided with two
wickets, one arranged for delivery of letters from
A to L ano the other from NJ to n; this would
facilitate matters considerably. great ground of
complaint, aud for which the people them
selves mostly to blame, is the crowding to mail
letters and papers. A little for sthouSht in pro-
viding stamps, or proper change to procure stamps
and affix them themselves, would work to the bene-
fit Uf the public. The Post Office window is not
the place to stamp letters, should tho office be
expected to do It, especially mail day. The
last steamer mail WAS noted to close two hours
prior to the time set for sailing, after which the
Office had to aiiix stamps to about 500 letters.

Death from ApopIexy.

A Coroner's Jury, composed OF s. s.
Sloss, Thomas e. Ruddick, David Mar
shall, Henry Lee, VIM. Fawcett and R.
Crossan, yesterday held an inquest over
the body of Joseph Green, who died in the
Bank Exchange saloon the evening previ-
GUS. The testimony of five witnesses was
taken, but nothing was ELECTED to prove
that the deceased had died from the re-
suits o. injuries received during the
evening, as was currently reported on
the streets. One witness stated that de-
ceased had had q difficulty in the saloon
with a man named Armstrong, now in
Jail for disturbing the peace, and that
Armstrong had struck him a heavy blow
back Of the left ear, laying him out on the
floor, from which he was picked up and
placed in a chair. Shortly afterward he
slid from the chair. and was conveyed into
the csrd-room, where he died. A slight
wound was discovered in the back OF his
head, but this is supposed to have oc-
Cured by deceased's head coming in con-
tact with the chair in slipping off. DR..
Bishops sworn statement is to the effect
that the blow on top of the head had no per-
ceptible effect on the brain. An indica-
tioh Vi al INJURY On inc irout portion Oh
the brain Of long standing was percepti-
Bile. There was congestion OF the brain,
softening and hemorrhage; also water
within the brain or cavity of the skull.
The cause Of death was apoplexy. DIR. T.
W. Huntington, who assisted in the exam
~ination, fully concurred in DR.. Bishops
testimony. The jury found accordingly.
The deceased, as near as could be learned,
was 46 years Of age and q native Of
Plymouth, England.

The Violet Club turned out in strong
numbers last night, and completely filed
the main floor Of the Opera House. The
gathering comprised the fashionable ele-
ment OF Eureka, and marked a social
event of which Prof. Dawson was justly
proud. 1t was the first meeting OF the
Club as a body, and the Professor labored
earnestly and increasingly during the even
ing to make the members familiar with the
intricate figures OF the german, a dance
very popular in aristocratic dancing
schools in metropolitan cities. The Pro-
~fessor's method differs in some respects
from the Western school, but 10 the main
the figures are the same. 1t will take the
Club some time to master 1t. but it will
prove a source Of great social pleasure
when ACQUIRED.

Like Old Times.

The editor OF the White Pine News gives
som Of his early experience in Eureka, as
follows: The shooting scrape at the hurdy-
house Monday night reminded US Of old
down on Buel street. A thin wooden par
tition was all that divided the SENTINEL
composing-room from the dance-house,
and usually the nights entertainment at
the latter place wound up with a shooting
tournament. On such occasions the print
ers used to do SOM good lodging behind
stands. Behind the stove Was the only
safe place in the Office, but Cassidy and
Skillman had that safe spot set apart for
themselves. An employe who sought
safety behind that stove from the stray
Cling bullets wa promptly discharged.

The Old and the New Prespector.
Eastern dabblers in mines are beginning
to understand Of late what the term
"grub stake" means. The arrangement
made by many Eastern companies with
these so-called miners is by contract, bind
ing them to work continuously for q cer-
tain number of months. In lieu Of pay
the miners are to have feed, tools and
transportation, and from o%ne-eighth to
one-half interest in such mineral veins as
they may find. The outfit Of food, tools
and animals for these contract prospecto.s
is expensive. The free prospector fits
himself out cheaply. For food he buys
bacon, -four and yeast powder. His pack
animal is q small donkey. He has o rife
and fish hooks and lines /; and on these he,
to a great measure, depends for his food.
The men sent out by prospecting COM
panies are promised canned goods and
prepared food. which they never before
heard of. They are equipped for a picnic.
and the work they do is similar to that
done by other picnic excursions. They
will play cards under pine trees, smoke
pipes BY the banks Of mountain brooks.
They viii prospect in an aimless way. If
any OF them shall accidentally find q lead
Of any value, they will probably, II un-
watched, quickly cover 1t over and depart
for other fields. n q lead Of the desired
poverty in gold and silver shall be found
by any Of these men, TREY will become en-
thusiastic over the great find, and slowly
sink a shaft, or with elaboration drive a
tunnel. The mining camps OF the Rocky
Mountains are filled with men who will
prospect on a grub stake only. They wish
to have the expenses Of their Summers
excursion borne by a company, or by some
credulous person known as a "grub
stalker" A prospector who works under a
contract seldom finds anything until the
contract he has signed has expired. This.
with a few exceptions, has been the rule
