buried at sea next morning. Mrs. Snare, in
spite of her illness, ministered to the wants of
the sick, and by her courage sustained the first
mate, Mr. Carlson, and the remaining two men
of the crew in the heavy task of. working the
large three masted schooner. One of the men
had bnt one arm, which naturally decreased
his efficiency. On the morning of the burial

Louis Blanc.
The Remarkable Frenchman Who has
Just Died.

The late Louis Blanc is said by Paris cor
respondent to have been made up of great vir-

were mingled Coquetry entered into all the
acts and deeds of his life when he was not car
ried away either by pity or indignation. There
was fine art in his most intimate conversation.
At his fireside he was as careful to appear in
the most agreeable light as when he was in
company When his poor wife died he retired
from the world for two reasons-gref for her,
and despair at being unable to get through his
toilet in a satisfactory manner without her
assistance She was one of the kindest women
that ever lived, and, indeed, an angel of the
hearth. Although German, she had an es-
piegle eye, refined profile, and dressed her.

proves the Committees Changes.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.--Hon. John L. Hayes
president of the tariff commission, is still in
Washington. He said this morning in conver-
sation about the work of the ways and means
committee, "The committee is doing just
what we would have done had time permitted
They are putting in an article here and there,
completing the classification, rather than ma
terlally changing the rate recommended by
the committee"
"Then you regard the changes made as no
reflection upon the work of the commission .
No reflection whatever The work being
done by the committee is quite necessary and
proper To make our work complete we
should have had time to print schedules and
send them to representative men of various
interests for their comments and suggestions. y
When do you think the committee will be
ready to report?"
In couple of weeks"
will there not be many opinions and
speeches and much delay in the Houst ?''
II think there will not be great delay"
Mr.. Hayes seemed confident that the tariff

commended by the com mission as modified

charges they make are substantiated. -Four
policemen are complained of, WIN. P. Nc
Gillicuddy, Mr.. Haggerty, Mr.. Clifford and f.
III. Stone. McGillicuddy is accused of getting
drunk at the policemans ball in Portland,
Haggerty with drunkenness on several occa-
sions, Clifford with gambling in a Lisbon street
saloon, and Stone of not reporting the intoxi-
cation of McGillicuddy. An investigation has
been begun before the committee on police,
and the evidence adduced is very damaging to
the accused. McGillicuddy seems to Lave be-
come so thoroughly drunk in this city on the
night of the policeman's ball that he went to
sleep in the cars on the way home, and was

Boston, Dec. GA letter has been received
from Gen. Fitz John Porter i'll response to res
olutions passed by the Thirty-second and Twen-
ty-second and Thnd Battery Association at a
reunion in this city Dec. 18th, in which the
general expresses his hearty appreciation of
the congratulations and good wishes of those
associations and of the Kind and generous
terms in which they conveyed their good
wishes and their assurance of confidence i'm
him when their commander He wrtes:
During the dark days that tell of your en-
durance and courage and devotion to your
country's cause up to the day our Government
through misinformatioD, deprived me of nv
right to draw my sw ord in her defence and sent
me into the world with the brand of Cain,
felt that the confidence l had reposed in you
and all the Filth corps as shown ON hotly con-
tested fields of battle was reposed by you in me
who had never unnecessarily harassed you or
recklessly exposed you to disaster, but who
when duty demanded, never hesitated to strike
with you the blow needed for our cause or to
ward off the one aimed at it. Though socially
and politically ostracized by that Government
act, severe as ii was, and all the more severe
because undeserved, l felt that if my country
demanded of me sacrifice greater than that
OF my life offered on many bloody field,
could endure it with steadfast faith; that
when the passions of the hour TO which had
been sacrificed should have been Gained my
character as soldier and a patriot would be-
vindicated. That vindication has come and in
the interval my old command has encouraged
and sustained me and aided me in securing it. /"
