The ball given by H. r. II. Ruth Keelikolani on
Friday evening, WAS universally prOunced to be n
perfect success. Great numbers of guests were
invited and attended. but there was room for all.
The entrance hall and large drawing rooms, all
the reception rooms the main floor of the
house were devoted to the dance, except one room
reserved tor Il ladies cloak room. Her Royal
Highness received her guests with a dig;ltied
cordiality, ard they passed through the suite of
rooms adIniring the proportions and decorations.
In the large drawing roOm the paintings of former
kings and chiefs were set off by handsome
hahiiis; the whole house was most brilliantly and
efectually lighted, and the numerous rich and
tasteful custones of the ladies made up scene
scarcely to be surpassed anywhere. The arrival
of His Majesty the King, was the signal for form
ing the first quadrille. His Majesty the

and opened the ball with her Higness the hostess,
who was dressed in rich white satin, the Prncesses
LiliCokalaui and Likellke, Governor Dominis,
Hon. A. S. Cleghorn; the foreign representatives
and their ladies and some few other nOtables made
up the set, and dancing at once became general.
'phe music was provided of course by Mr.. Berger
And a select number of his bandsmen and was,
(of course. Just what it should be- the musicians
stationed in the entrance hall IN rear of tho
staircase, where they could be heard to advantage
and yet no dancing srace was lost. Shortly after
midnight the doors of the dining hall were thrown

and decorated most artistically. was quickly sur
rounded by guests, everything was pronounced to
be excellent, the ices, the jeles, the confectionery
as well as the more substantial plats were as de
licious as they were abundant. Dancing and
suppinC went on together, and the small hours
were slipping merrily by before the crowd of
guests grew perceptibly thinner. An occasional
little shower fell during the evening" but nothing

from their vehicles. In the large court yard was
ample space, and the carriages all entering by the
Gakai gate there no confusion. A fire engine
was provided in case of accident. Though the
throng of guests was SO great no cOHfTe temps of
any sind occurred, the ladies declared their cloak
room arrangements were admirable, the dancers
pronounced the floors 10 be perfection the lighting
the most difficult achievement in all large gather
ings in this city, was admirable, clear, bright
steady and sufficient; indeed the entertainment
from every point of view admirable. HeI
Royal Higness has unquestionably succeeded to a
marvel in giving the greatest possible enjoyment
TO the greatest possible number. Long may the
generous, noble hostess. live to celebrate many
happy returns of her birthday and many anni-

Professor Nordenskjolds long promised account
of the voyage of the Vega was published at the
close of 1881. The book is spoken of as giving
very excellent historical sketch of Arctic Explora
ton. There are also some valuable sketches of the
fauna and fora of the regions which the Professor
visited. His theory OF the formation of icebergs
which is given at length is not generally accepted
by the savants. The Professor prophesied that

eastern man. Hendricks friends had
given out that under no circumstances
would he accept the second place on
the ticket, and it was this fact that
helped to weaken Tilden's strength in
the convention. Moreover, it was
understood that feeling had sprung
up between the Sage of Grammercy
park and the HOOsier statesman that
threatened to lose the former the cleo
tOral vote of Indiana in case he were
nominated. Hancock was nominated
on the third ballot amidst a scene of
enthusiasm and excitement and con-
fusion unsurpassed in the history of
political conventions. In the midst of
the confusion the question of who
should be vice president came up.
HancOck's friends were so jubilant that
they seemed to think that with him for
a standard bearer it made little differ
ence us to who the candidate for the
second place might be. 1t was gener-
ally conceded that the second place be-
longed to Indiana, and that it was nee
essary that one of her sons should be
on the ticket. Hendricks was out of
the field and only two names were
mentioned, those of Mcdonald and
English, the former leading. Some of
the latter's friends passed among the
delegates, assuring them that Melon
aid was an unpopular man in his state
and that he could not carry it, and that
Hendricks, who was supposed to be so
beloved in his state that his enemies
were those of the party, was unfavOr-
able to Mcdonald. Upon the strength
of these representations, after cOntin-
uous session from ten o'clock in the
morning until six o'clock in the after
noon, amidst all the excitement of the
hour, delegates leaving, etc, the con
ventiOn without any speeches and with

The New England Divorce Re.
form League.


To the Editor of the Caledonian.
hope you will say to those who
think the league "began its work at
the wrong end" that they as yet hard
ly understand us. Our organization
was called into existence because al
most the only remedy legislation or So
ciety seems to provide for the evils of
marriage is divorce, which certainly is
the application of a remedy an evil in
itself at the last end of a bad condition
of things. We have said this divorce
business is largely wrong. 1t applies
the remedy-and the heroic one of am
putation-tO the wrong end. Suppose
we do less of this and pay more atten-
ton to the earlier stages of the disease.
Let there be better training in the
home, better ideas of marriage and
better Legislation of marriage, and then
better living in the marriage relation.
The attempt to remedy the evils of the
family by the fatal surgery of divorce
has been tried until every thinking
man must see that it has failed. The
disease spreads all the faster for this
wholesale resort to the knife. Now let
us begin at the right end. Let us stop
a good part of this divorce business,
and do it, too, as absolutely necessary

Editorial Notes.

The example set by the Garfield doc
tors has had IL natural effect The ser
! geant- at-arms of the senate has re-
ceived il bill from the Atlanta under
taker who buried Senator Ben Hill for
$500, $500 for the casket, the rest for
attendance, etc. He threw the bill out.
He says he does not propose to pay
such bills az were presented to the Gar
field board.
Public sentiment is gradually becOm-
ing aroused to the dangers besetting
the young from the disreputable illus
trated papers sold on railroad trains
and news-stands. The Georgia house
of representatives has inserted in a
taxation law a provisO that news-agents
shall pay one hundred dollars for the
right to sell them.
When Judges on the bench get so
drunk that the bar holds indignation
meetings, as is the case in Ohio, there
is need for temperance work.
The national WOman's Christian tenn
perance union ask Christians every
where to unite with them and the
United Presbyterian Church in dedi-
eating Tuesday, Jan. 9, as day of
prayer for the temperance cause.
Walton's Vermont Register and
Farmers Almanac has been received
from the publishers, the White River
Paper Co., White River Junction. 1t
is useful handbook, and contains
much valuable information. For sale
at all bookstores.
The discussion that arose over the
prohibitOry amendment to the state
constitution did not end when the bill
failed of passage. The action of the
WOman's Christian temperance union
in opposing the amendment has been
severely criticised. The Bennington
county ministers, at recent meeting,
passed IL unanimous vote of approval
of the action of the union.
Senator Edmunds does not entertain
any hopes of being hit by presidential
lightning if he gave utterrnce to SEN
timent recently attributed to him. He
is reported to have said: "None of us
will live to see presidential candidate
taken from any state east of the Hud-
SON."
A Paris paper has figured it ont that
it has taken l39, 235, OH ,489, 534 $40
births from the time of Christ to bring
Il person into the world at the present
time. A good deal of labor for IA very
poor purpose, in some cases.
Mississippi has hotel proprietor by

McDonaId's PRESIDENTIAL Boom

The name of Ex-senator Mcdonald
of Indiana is one of those that are be-
ing prominently mentioned in connec-
ton with the next democratic presi-
dental nomination. 1t is too early to
nominate and elect presidents, as Mr..
McDOnald'S friends are doing, and they
even 20 so far as to select his cabinet
for him. He will doubtless appreciate
this evidence of kindness and their an
parent solicitude that his cabinet shall
be well made up-when he is elected.
But it is cold weather yet, and chick
ems do not hatch well when the Their
mOmeter is below zero. Besides. there

vention will he held, and vet another
winter through which to pass before
the assembling of the democratic
clans.
In this connection a leaf of history
is yet to be written of the inside of the
Cincinnati convention. 1t is well
known, however, that McDOnald's
name was prominently mentioned as
candidate for the vice presidency in
case the nominee for president were an

If | do not greatly err, our own mar
riage laws owe their present improved
condition more to the advocates of di-
vorce reform in their action years ago
than to anybody else In nearly. if not
every state, where reform in divorce
has been preserved, its advocates have
urged most earnestly the need of bet

The management of the work of the

that divorce for drunkenness will be

1t is not officially announced, but. in
religious circles, it is well understood,
that the attempt to organize new
paper for the liberal wing of the ortho-

forward. The Congregationalist pro-

no, and it is very doubtful whether a
rival religious sheet could maintain

a FACULTY THAT LACKS COURAGE.
The women students in the medical
college at Xii gston, Ont, recently took
Otfense at the language of lecturer on
anatomy, claiming that it was, to say
the least, inelegant; and their men as
sOciates took Offense because the wo-
men were offended, threatening to leave
if any more "femalesn were admitted
to the college. The faculty, after an
investigation which is not made pub
lie, have yielded to the rebellious boys
and promised to shut out women from
the institutions privileges. Such a
course is weak and censurable. The
offending professor might have been
discharged if he was guilty of any in
decency, or the Young women might
have been allowed to depart if they
were prurient ; but to issue wholesale
