Winter at Nantucket.

Nantucket Letter to the New Bedford Mercury. y.l
 What the people do when they have no mails is often query. They rely for enter tainment very little upon outside assistance. Necessity has made them self-dependent. Theatre companies no longer visit the island because the audiences are too small. The best lecturers don't care to come, for they cannot be paid enough, and thirty-hve miles of rough sea travel is both unpleasant and uncertain. So a considerable part of the in habitants are literary and all social. Caste does not depend upon wealth. Soclaelllty, refinement and a taste for literature are the passports to the best society. Numerous clubs and classes meet frequently to pursue some literary work. The young people form small companies and meet every evening at each others homes. Parties are continually occurring. Games are popular, particularly card playing In the drawing room and par Tor Nantucket society finds most of It's en- tertainmeut The number and size of Nan tucket churches far exceeds the religious needs of the community. Forty years ago, when some of them were built, the popula- tion was three times the present census. At the North, where John s. 0. Abbott preached to an audience filling the house, the congre- pation does not average one to each pew, ana on the church book the male members nun Der only four. Crowds used to attend the Baptist to hear Jefries. Now IL IS oioseo' The South (Unltarian), where Hepworth be- gan. will remain longest, because in it's tower is the town clock and the celebrated bell, but it's congregation is small. The floating ele- ment that moves capriciously from one church to another is now favoring the chap eI: and yet the church is only half filled When Wise and Talbot were stationed there the building, with it's gallery on three sides, was none too large. The Friends meeting house on Fair street is still opened for three women and two men, and often less. TLat on Centre street is closed. The Catholics alone prosper. The nine edifoes for public worship, with a seating capacity of five thou sand, are used by less than one thousand per sons.

A Cleveland Hotel on Fire.

CLEVELAND, April 12.-About 9:30 this morning fire was discovered in the upper story of the "Stillman," the new hotel on Euclid avenue and in half an hour the entire Mansard roof and the floor below were burned out. The floors of the building be- ing fre-proof prevented the flames from spreading below the upper story. The building, however, was flooded by water which ran through to the lower floors, doing much damage to the furniture, etc. The guests and help of the house escaped without harm, but the occupants of the upper floors, chiefly servants, lost every thing. The damage to the building by fire and water is estimated at $50,000, while the loss to the tenants principally by water, will reach $5, 900 more. The origin of the fire is mystery, but it is supposed to have started in some of the servants rooms. The house will be rebuilt at once

B0at Found.

The rowboat which was stolen from MT. Austin from Belle dock week ago was re- turned to him on Saturday afternoon by 6 son of Milton J. Stewart, of East Rock fame. Mr Stewart called on Mir. Austin Saturday afternoon and said he ought to pay five dol lars for the recovery of the boat, which he had at his house. The boat was picked up by one of his sons on the river and was then housed or concealed for fear of it's being stolen, while MT. Austin was searching both banks of the river, knowing the boat was above Gainesville bridge. MT. Austin re- fused to pay him five dollars or even three dollars, which he wanted, and immediately went to get out 8 warrant to arrest MT Stewart, and in less than one hour the boat was returned to him. Anyone picking up 6 boat in New Haven harbor or its surround ings and concealing it is by law subject to imprisonment.

Prominent Men Gathered About Tn,
 King Get a Surprise.

CHICAGO, April 12.-A police lieutenant and a detail of men forced an entrance late last night into the rooms of the Chicago Athletic club, 43 and 45 Franklin street Over one hundred well dressed men, mer- chants, members of the board of trade and prominent sports were gathered around g twenty -four-foot ring. Tommy Warren and Andy Hanley were stripped to the waist, wearing small gloves. In the corners of the ring were chairs, sponges, pails of water and bottles for use between rounds. There was sensation among the specta- tors when the police entered. All were placed under arrest. They protested that there was merely going to be an athletic ex- hibition, but the police refused to let the fight proceed. After consultation Parson Davies announced that the police would allow the crowd to disperse. It is reported that had not the police interfered the men would have fought with bare knuckles to a finish. Warren is said to hail from Wyoming and fought at 1121s pounds. His opponent comes from New York and weighs 128 pounds. Patrol wagons and officers from the DesPlaines street and Chicago avenue sta tions were present to lend their assistance in making the raid, but were not required

GENERAL GRANT.

He HasAnother Coughing Fit And is Restless And Weak-Mucous Secre-
 tfons Gathering in His Throat.
 NEW YORK, April 12.-General Grants condition to-day was not quite so favorable. The fit of coughing which he experienced late Saturday night seemed to have had a bad effect upon his general condition and for several hours he was very restless, and al- thoughssunder::the influence of morphine he was able to obtain but very little sleep until a. two hours. The first bulletin issued was at 6 8. m: and was as follows:
 General Grant had after Il o'clock quiet night At a. Tn Enc went into natural Slumber, from which he has just awakened. Pulse 72, temperature normal, voice strong.
 From to 8 o'clock he was again some what restless and walked several times from his bedroom to the library. After this he became more quiet and took his nourishment with apparent relish. Between 2 and 3 o'clock the regular weekly consultation of physicians was held, there being present Drs. Barker, Sands, Shrady and Douglass. The patients throat was thoroughly examined and it was understood that his condition was about the same as at the last consultation and that the treatment pursued was approved by all. The patient was again restless dur ing the afternoon and had very little sleep. Ex-Senator Chafee, who left the house at 5:30, said the general in his opinion was little weaker. He thought that the patients physical strength might be kept up until the cancer killed him. He might last some time and his sickness might terminate fatally at any moment. Among the callers during the day were Stephen B. Elkins, Roscoe Conk- ling, ex-Governor Stanford, ex-Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer, General Fry, Cyrus W Field and c. H. Collis
 The 3 o'clock bulletin was:
 General Grant has been very quiet since the fit of coughing last night He has taken his nourishment ature 99.
 At 12:30 a. m. General Shrady sent out this bulletin:
 General Grapt has been troubled during the lat ter part of the afternoon and the entire evening with increase of mucous secretion in his throat and has coughed considerably in consequence. He has also suffered from two attacks of choking and he breathed with difficulty. These were relieved by local applications and the phlegm was removed He is now dozing in his chair after having slept his bed for three hours. Pulse p, temperature normal.
 Manipulating the evening General Grant had another coughing spell. He has also been very restless and is somewhat weaker. No bulletin has been issued since 3:30 D. m.

What it will be is unknown. although g reprimand is expected by many General Hazen has not been idle since the court adjourned; he is totally indifferent as to the findings, but should they be adverse, the President will be appealed to for new trial, and whether acquitted or not, his counsel intends to publish the trial in book form both in this country and in London where the signal officer has many friends among mete- orologists, who hold him in great respect and by whom great interest was taken in the trial. The book will make 8 volume of sev eral hundred pages and will be out in this country in 8 month or so.
 KIND WORDS FOR CLEVELAND. The Massachusetts Civil Service
 Reform League Commends His
 Course.
 BOSTON, April 12-The following resolu- tions were passed at meeting of the e1- ecutive committee of the Massachusetts Civil Service Reform league yesterday:
 Resolved, That we have watched with admiration the course of President Cleveland since his inauguration and that his courage ous and consistent adherence to the prin- ciples which should regulate appointments all good citizens.
 Resolved, That we regard the reappoint- ment of MT. Pearson with special satisfac- tion, because it affords strong evidence that the President is determined to apply the principles of civil service reform not only in cases within the letter of existing law, but also in filling all other offices which are 'tso disconnected with the policy of an ad- ministration" that the political opinions of those who hold them are unimportant
 Resolved, That we deem this a fit occasion for expressing our belief that the reasons which prevent the removal of officers ''dur- ing the terms for which they are appointed on partisan grounds, and for the purpose of putting in their places those who are in polit- ieal accord with the appointing power" apply with equal force against appoint ments for political reasons when the terms of such officers expire, and we earnestly hope that the precedent established in the case of MT. Pearson will govern all similar and that merit and competency will be recognized by the reappointment of all competent and faithful officers who have not usad their official position for partisan purposes
