The new CLUB Member.

read conscientiously Sunday after
noon at the club the weekly rules and
regulations laid down in the newspapers
concerning the details of life, that /
might regulate my behavior thereby;
and notice that ''initials are not con-
sidered good form on note paper, not
even monograms." This did not particu-
larly interest me, as I have for years
used firm, plain and unruled paper

ter writing, and the only notes am
punctilious in answering are dinner in-
vitations and the good wishes of Miss
Porphyry sent to me at the beginning of
each worlds year and mine own.
But looking up and across the hall
saw young Spriggles busily engaged iii
the consumption of club paper and en-
velopes. Letters stood in high stacks
upon the table. And I formulated this
maxim: The newness of club member
ship is in direct proportion to the
amount of daily correspondence. The
clubbing parades the club stamp as the
newly married man his wife. And l
should regret this thrusting of such dan
gerous weapons as pen, ink and paper
into the hands of the wise and the fool

casionally its uses; as when Thackeray

The captains oath was on his lips.
Or ever the sun went down.
And while the people thronged the eliffs
Above the harbor town,
A mighty wave swept DER the sea.
With dull and sullen roar;
The good ship trembled all her length
As she sank to rise more.
Then o'cr the whelming waters pealed
Gas tolling funeral knells
For those lost solIls) the soft, sweet chimes
OF the Forrabury bells
The moss creeps over Boltreaux church,
Where rings no vespcr lay;
Still waits the tower its blessed bells,
And silent stands today.
For low beneath the Cornish wave,
Where tangled wrecks lie deep,
The Forrabury bells are hid
And their sweet echoes keep.
But ever 'ganst the pillows toss,
And storm winds Shrek in glee;
Their mufIletl chimes the blessed bells
Still ring beneath the sea.

HAWAIIAN MATTER BEFORE THE
SENATE SUBCOMMITTEE.

Supposed That the Investigation VIII he
In the Shape OF an Inquiry Into the
Conduct OF Minister stevens at the Time
of the Revelation In Hawaii and of
Commissioners Blount.
WASHINGTON, Dec. &c considerable
interest attaches to the Hawaiian in
vestigation which began today under
the auspices of the senate committee on
foreign relations. No one seems to un-
derstand just what is proposed to be
done by the committee, how extensive
the hearings to be given, just who is to
be heard, or how long the hearings will
be continued. The work is in the hands
of a subcommittee of the committee on
foreign relations, consisting of Sena-
tors Morgan, Butler and Gray, Demo
Gratis; and Senators Sherman and Frye,
Republicans. 1t is undertaken under
the resolution of Senator Morgan Of the
Goth inst, which is as follows:
RESOLVED, That the committee of for
eign relations shall inquire and and report
whether any, and, If so, what irregulari-
ties have occurred in the diplomatic or
other intercourse between the United
States and Hawaiian relation to the recent
political revolution in Hawaii and to this
end said committee is authorized to send
for persons and papers and to administer
oaths to witnesses
1t is presumed that the investigation
will take the shape of an inquiry into
the conduct Of Minister Stevens at the
time of the revolution and of Commits
sioner Blount with the possibility of
going into the question of the recogni-
ton of the provisional government and
also an investigation as to the regular
ity of the Blount appointment.

Mrs. Harriet Hayden Passes Away at Her
Home in Boston.
BOSTON, Dec. 28.-Mrs. Harriet Hay
den, widow of Louis Hayden, died at
her home, SO Phillips street, of an at
tack of pneumonia at the age of IA.
Mrs Hayden had a remarkable history:
Born slave in Kentucky, she made her
escape early in the forties into Michi-
gan and lived for short time in the
city of Detroit. From that city she
moved to Boston and became identified
with the antislavery movement, and
her house on Phillips street became a
rendezvous for fugitive slaves. John
Brown held a meeting at her house with
some of his associates prior to his de-
parture for Harper's Ferry and per
fected some of his plans there.
Mrs. Hayden was warm personal
friend of William Lloyd Garrison,
Wendell Phillips, Charles Sumner and
in fact, all of the members of the anti.
slavery society held her and her hus
band in the highest esteem.

Gives His Reason for Refusing to Grant a
Mandamus.
LANSING. Dsc. 27.--Sectary Baker of
the state board of health has received a
copy of the opinion rendered by Judge
Steere of Sault Ste. Marie in an action
brought by the state board of health to
test it's rights to prescribe quarantine
rules and regulations at the Canadian
border.
Action was brought by the board by
an application for mandamus to compel
Frank r. Warner, justice of the
peace to entertain criminal complaint
and proceed with the trial of case
brought against a station agent of the
Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic rail-
road, who refused to detsin the bag
gage of immigrants for Inspection and
disinfection.
Judge Steere denied the mandamus
for the reason that the statute under
which the criminal proceedings were
sought to be brought is invalid in the
particular that it seeks to delegate to a
nonelective subordinate board legisla,
tive powers to create misdemeanor
and is violation of sections / and 38
of article of the constitution of the
state, which vests legislative powers
only in the house and senate of the
state legislature, and gives them powers
to delegate such privileges only to

dropped into the cold water. One of
his companions noticed his peril and
ran and notified the men at the brick
yard and also Pubanti's father.
The latter went to the rescue of his
son and he succeeded in reaching the
place where he fell in. The ice was too
thin to bear his weight and he also fell
in. By this time the neighbornood was
alarmed and a number of people flocked
to the scene. Boards and ropes were
procured and after good deal of hard
work one man succeeded in pulling out
the father. The latter was chilled
through and in an unconscious condi-
ton when rescued.
Young Adolph had disappear ed from

being unable to stand the cold water,
which was seven feet deep. The men
called to him to hang on to the ice, but
he gradually lost consciousness and
sank. His body was recovered about
an hour later and was taken to the
home of his parents.
