the HAWAIIAN MONTHLY.

is to be the name of the
monthly magazine, which DR.. G. L.
Rodgers purposes issuing the first
number of at the commencement of
next year. Its aim and the scope of
its contents are clearly and compre-
hensively defined in the following
words of the prospectus, just
issued - '." 2' ii
''The pages of The HQsoaiioe
Monthly will be devoted in due and
reasonable proportion to matters Of
news, literature, politics, science, art
and general culture, and it will be
conducted in the interest of good
morals, good manners and good
government. 1t is intended that
this magazine shall be strictly un-
sectarian and non-partisan. At the
same time it will hold itself free to
discuss in perfectly independent
spirit any and all matters Of legiti-
mate public interest. This it will
endeavour to do with candor and
courtesy, avoiding personality and
bitterness, and seeking at all times
to promote sound thinking and right
feeling upon all questions which
affect society, the state or the indi-
vidual. In carrying out this purpose
it is intended that some at least of
the leading topics of the day shall be
treated somewhat more at length and
with possibly greater care and
thoroughness than is practicable in
the columns of the daily and weekly
newspapers. In addition to editorial
articles, discussions, contributions,
&C., it is intended to furnish the
readers of The Monthly with a
reasonable amount of entertaining
fiction. There will also be care
fully prepared summary of foreign
and domestic news, record of the
latest progress in science and inven-
ton, department devoted to matters
of special interest to the ladies', and
other features not necessary to be
named more particularly"
In the language of the prospectus,
"this new enterprise aims to occupy
field hitherto vacant" and the
well known energy and literary
ability of the protector and editor,

a straight forward way, in the inter-

who would ventilate their grievan-

the throne itself. The majority of
legislators had no more idea of the
labor question than they had of the

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Where Will the Next be Helds-An Impor-
tant Proposition by Senator Frye.

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. John c. New has
called convention OF the republican and
democratic congressional delegatiods from In
diana, to be held Saturday to take measures to
secure meeting of both the republican and
democratic national conventions at Indianapo-
lis. ~ s1aE
{ Inc Star tonight says the general impress
sion is that the National Republican Conven-
tion will be held in the East. Chicago and
other cities will press their claim and there is
some talk of Boston, but it is known that the
majority of the committee oppose going east of
New York
To remedy in some measure what is regard
cd BY many as very gross injustice of the
present representation in the Republican Ma
tional Conventions which gives to States and
olstricts all over the country the same voice
regardless OF their republican vote when in
some districts In the South even the form of
nominating republican candidate for Con-
gress is not pursued, Senator Frye, member
Of the National Republican Committee from
Name, viii propose at meeting of the COM
mittee Dec. 18th new basis of representation
as follows: Each State shall be entitled to four
delegates as now; each district to one instead
OF TWO as now, and to one additional delegate
for each ten thousand votes cast within its
limits In 1880 for the republican candidates for
presidential electors and toan additional dele
gate for majority fraction of 10,000 votes
Ihe vote of the presidential electors is taken
as tne best indicating the real strength of the
party in any district, as being less liable to be
affected by local causes
The application of the same rule to the
present district under the late apportionment
could not just now be readily made owing to
the lack of necessary aud accurate information
butwill not materially change the relative
strength of States and will only increase the
total membership of the convention by about
so.
The Maine membership will be increased
from IL to I6: Massachusetts FROM % to "a and
New Hampshire from to II.

Electric Rails.

A well informed trade contemporary says:
ga professor of the Faculty of Sciences of
Marseilles, together with two permanent
way engineers of the PARISH Lyons -Mediter-
ranean Line, have just made some curious
experiments on the rails laid between Mar
seilles and Rognac. They have ascertained
that all the rails that have been laid same
time have been transformed as to their two
extremities into powerful magnets, capabie
OF attracting and holding iron kegs ana
even stronger articles. If the rails be raised
they keep their magnetism for some time.
but gradually lose it. Two poles are formed
at the corresponding ends of two rails Of on
posite sign. The production of magnetisn
in the rails in use is to be explained by the
friction resulting from the running of cars
on the track. 1t is certain that the magnet
ism thus developed exerts useful influence
on the stability of the track and increases
the hold of the wheels on the rails" With
out contestng the fact itself, which does not
appear very surprising to us, we should be
glad to know how far this magnetism can
increase the hold of the wheels, which in q
locomotive often carry four to six tons each.
above all when the rails are placed end to
end, and mutually destroy one another's
magnetism. Electricien,

CHARCOAL PIT TRAGEDY.


A Conneciicut Murder that May Equal in
Mystery that of Mary Stnnnard.
MADISON, Conn.,, Dec. 6.-The mystery that
surrounds the murder of Eldridge f. johnson
bids fair to equal that of the Mary Stannard
murder, which was committed only short
distance from where Johnsons body was
found. Last night State Attorney Doolittle
sent to New York for Pinkertcn detective.
New traces of the struggle between johnson
and his murderer or murderers have been
found since yesterday. A stone weighing six
pounds, part of 1t coated with blood, was
found near the charcoal pit Several hairs of
the color of the dead mans hair were sticking
to the stone That there was fearful strug-
gle nobody doubts. One spot was pointed out
where johnson must have fallen under stag
gering blow. The ground was rooted up, and
pool of blood was near by. Neither the
carried to the pit have yet been found The
dead mans mittens which he wore on Sunday
night are stained with blood. The discovery
of the mittens on the ground indicates to
many that he was attacked while at work at
the. pit. Johnson's hat, which could not be
found yesterday, was this morning picked up
at Buck Hill, a ledge of rocks right back of
the pit. The hat was stained with blood. Two
large stones were beside it, also covered with
johnson first dragged his dead body to the
ledge of rocks. A cavity large enough to
secrete mans body was discovered. Here
they say the body was first placed. Then the
murderer, fearing that johnson might ibe
sought for there, hauled the body to the pit
and threw it iuto the burning charcoal to des-
troy all traces of the crime.

A "Nigger Minstrel Festival.


There has been another violent outbreak
of "art' in Cincinnati. Arrangements have
been made for negro minstrel festival, of
one weeks duration, to be held in the
Springer Music Hall in January. No less
than five hundred minstrels will be aceu-
mulated and "played as one company,''
and as no other city in the world has ever
had anything of the kind. the festival is ex-
pected to establish beyond dispute the su-
premacy of Cincinnati as the musical centre
of the universe. The week chosen is lust
in advance of the dates agreed upon for tho
annual opera festival, and the promoters Of
the new project are charged with deliber-
ate intent to injure that festival by starting
a rival attraction. The president of the
College of Music, who manages the opera
festival, is said to have grown "white with
passion" when he heard of the plan, and wa
are not surprised that he did. 1t is an In
sidious scheme for depriving him Of his Do
sition as leader of Cincinnati art, which is
all the more reprehensible because of It's ex-
treme likelihood of success.

A salt Lake City Paper ON the Message.
SALT LAKE, Dec. 6-The News, the Nor
mon organ in this city, says
The Presidents message will be hailed by
the hireing clergy with pleasure and will re-
ceiev9 an amount of popular support. 1t is
not shown in what way the destruction of our
local government would affect the question of
polygamy. The plural marriages of Mormons
are not recognized by territorial laws and
could not be dissolved by commissions, by
edicts, by armies or other earthly power. They
are ecclesiastical, perpetual and eternal until
the Mormons become recreant to their faith
with high heaven. These unions will be re-
cognized by the Almighty Being who estab-
lished them for the benefit of His people and
the fullness of His glory. The Presidents
remarks ON Utah polggamy win not add force
to his message or credit to his statesmanship.
They are sop to bigots and breath to the
flame of popular passion. 1t is doubtful if it
will have practical bearing on Congress. 1t
will certainly create no commotiou among the
God fearing people of Utah.
The same journal throws a sop to the Demo
Gratis and hopes they will defeat the measure
in the House.

1t is estimated that the total output of the
Aroostook numbering district this year will not
exceed 100000 feet
The game law, passed by the legislature
last winter, has proved, says the Ellsworth
American, remarkably effioacious in protect
ing the deer in this county. Last fall the
number of saddles shipped from Ellsworth
were variously estimated at from 800 to 800,
while very few, if any, have been shipped this
year. The efficient watchfulness of the State
and local game wardens has also done much to
repress the peachers, and we may hope soon to
find in Eastern Maine the paradise of hunters
il the present protection is continued.
