A SUCCESSFUL ADMINISTRATION.

The ADVERTISER of last Friday stated
that the leading policy of the present
Government is to increase the nation. -
In their various acts and methods this
point is kept steadily in view; but it is
by no means an original idea with them,
although it is in full sympathy with their
convictions and aspirations. King Kala-
kaua, soon after his accession, declared
that the effort and purpose of his reign
would be to increase the nation"
That was about eight years before the
Gibson Administration came into power,
and during all those years the Govern
nnent of the Kingdom was under the
control and direction of the men and in
iuences that had dominated and
moulded affairs for the most part from

"a Widow Hunt

The second amateur performance of
this popular comedy was given last Sat
urday night to an appreciative house.
Considering the evening and that it was
the second presentation of the piece, the
attendance was fair, and the Public
Library fund will be correspondingly
benefited. 1t is not proper to criticise
the performance of amateurs, but a word
may be said in commentator when all
engaged did so well. OF course there
were degrees of merit, and in the front
rank must be placed "NIrs. and Major
de Boots" who made the most of by no
means the strongest parts in the cast.
The other ladies and gentlemen sus-
tanned their parts with more than aver
age ability and grace. 1t is to be hoped
that the stage of the Music Hall will be
frequently graced by similar dramatic
representations

Sam. Houston's Real Disposition.

Only last week | met in New Or
leans a daughter of old Sam Hous-
ton, who unsettled all my notions
as to her father. This lady, Mrs.
Nettie II. Bringhurst, is now very
earnest worker in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, and
is very highly regarded by all fac
tons in Louisiana. l happened to
speak of seeing her father in Ver-
mont years and years ago, and she
in reply said that she was born on
ly a few months after he returned
from that trip to New England. In
the course of the conversation she
said that her father died of bro
ken heart, and she mentioned CO.
incidence which, if I ever heard of
it, ! had forgotten. When Texas
came into the Union, Houston, who
had served two terms as President,
was opposed to annexation. When
the war broke out he was Governor
of the State, and was opposed to
secession. He took the position
that as Texas had come voluntarily
isto the Union she must stay. But
the Convention and the Legislature
were against him, and finally a res
olution was passed to depose him
from office. The day before the
resolution was to take effect he re
signed. Before this President Lin
coin offered him troops to keep the
State in the Union, but he declined
assistance. He was offered place
in the Cabinet, but he declined
this, and retired to his farm in the
country and grieved over the break
up of the Union, and, literally
speaking, died of a broken heart.
Mrs. Bringhnrst is the Youngest
child by Houston's second wife,
One of his sons was in the rebel
army. After Houston's death all
of the children had to look ont for
themselves. After his long service
in public life Sam Houston died a
poor man. The daughters story of
her fathers grieving over the war
was very pathetic, and it gave me,
as I have said, a new impression of
the rough Old lighter Chicago
Inter-O Ocean.
The lady referred to above is the
wife of our W. S. L.. Bringhurst, a
brother Of Mr.. r. W. Bringhurst,
our Parish Surveyor, and who a
few years ago removed to Texas,
accepting a professorship in one of
the very best colleges in that State.

is able now to do her own work"
