AN INTERPRETING CANE.

Second Church. Fair Haven-From the Late Rev. Dr. T. s. c. Abbott and Dr. Stone It Passes to Rev. Df. H0vey. In 1875 the young men of the Second Con gregational church, Fair Haven, presented to their pastor, the Rev. John s. c. Abbott, D. D., an elegant and valuable gold-headed cane. Early in 1878 Dr. Abbott died, but prior to his death he presented the cane to Dr. Henry E. Stone. his warm personal friend and family physician, who cherished it a valuable memento of the celebrated author. In 1886 Dr. Stone died, leaving 8 reputation fragrant of good deeds, and now his widow, Mrs. Amanda B. Stone, has pre- sented the cane to the Rev. Horace c. Hovey, D. D., of Minneapolis, the intimate friend of both Dr. Abbott and Dr. Stone and the successor of Dr. Abbott as pastor of the Second church. The following letter from Dr. Hovey concludes the story of the cane for the present, but undoubtedly the cane, which is now assuming historic value, will be left by Dr. Hovey at his decease to some distinguished man or public institu- tlon:
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 6, 1886.
 Mrs. H. E. Stone, dear madam: On my return from the East I found box awaiting me containing an elegant gold headed cane, the inscriptions on which show it to have been originally given by the young men of Fair Haven to my distinguished predecessor. Dr. J. s. c. Abbott, and subsequently, to have been by him presented to your hus- band and my friend, Or. Henry B. Stone. Both those worthy men have now entered on their reward, and for their sake and that of the original donors, asswell as for yours, the cane as it now comes to me is peculiarly &C., ceptable. I am grateful to you for such costly mark of esteem and also to our friend Judge Deming, through whose hands it was conveyed tn myself -----
 When I next revisit Fair Haven hope to be permitted to thank you in person.
 With the kindest regards and heartfelt sympathy for you in your trials and deep bereavement am, as ever,
 Yours sincerely,
 HORACE c. HovEY.

THE LAMP rNsPEoroRsHrP.

The Resolution of Councilman Hitler
 Report of the Committee Made Last
 EvenIng-A Consolidation Inexpedi-
 ent.
 Following is the report of the committee on Councilman Hillers resolution for the abolishment of the office of lamp inspector which was presented to the Court of Com
 mon Council last evening:
 To the honorable Court of Common Coun-
 cil:
 Your committee appointed to inquire and
 report in regard to the expediency ot uniting
 the offices of inspector of lamps and inspector
 of sidewalks beg leave to report as follows; Your committee have examined several competent witnesses, whose testimony estab- lished the following facts, viz.: That about twelve years ago the Committee Lamps employed clerk at salary of $1SO year; that few years later this clerk was called an inspector and his salary was gradually in- creased until it became $1 200 year; that during these years the duties of the place have not greatly increased, as more of the work respecting lamps is done by parties un- der contract than formerly, and that so far as your committee is informed this office was created and developed by the Committee on Lamps under their implied power and not by express au- thority from the Court of Common Council; that the Gas company under it's contract is required to keep It's lamps In repalr, ana to remove them when necessary; that g con tractor. MT. Brennan, under his contract with the city, is paid for nearly the same services in taking care of naptha lamps; and that the police department reports all lights not burning or in need of repairs; so that the services rendered by the city's lamp inspee tor can be very easily and quickly per formed.
 That the office of inspector of sidewalks has more substantial duties connected with it which give the incumbent opportunity to earn his salary in full.
 In view of the foregoing facts, and because the duties of the two inspectorships are in some degree incompitable, your committee do not deem it advisable to consolidate the two change in the office of inspector of sidewalks that at the close of the present year the sal

 committee recommend the passage of the fol
 lowing orders, viz:
 Voted, That the office of lamp inspector
 be abolished and that said office shall cease
 to exist on the expiration of the term of
 present incumbent.
 Voted, That from and after the expiration of term of office of the present incumbent the Committee on Lamps be and is hereby authorized to employ 8 clerk at a salary not exceeding $50 month to perform the duties
 now performed by the lamp inspector. All of which is respectfully submitted. Committee-William J. Bradley, A. Maxcy Hitler, J. Rice Winehell, Frank A. Thomp-
