We have had quite "courting
spell, and the end is not yet. Tn,
dear people, AZ usual, cheerfully pa,
for the music.
Christmas was very quiet NOR,
so than any Christmas since '63. No
one-hAlf as much Christmas good

had moro amusements, which wer,
well patronixcd.
Wednesday and Thursday of thi,
week We will have the Calhoun Com.

safely counted on.
We expect times to be quiet here

Tho next "phunny" business Con-

The Governor of Oregon has writ.
ten the President very afFect:onate
cpissle to ponder over. II may set
the old man TO thinking. Grover is
liable to receive good many sweet
little missives in the sweet by and bv.
Il Is reported that France and
Russia have kissed and joined hands
to circle around John Bull, and il
may be safely predicted THAI they
will mako 1t lively for that grand old
man Gladstone. Grover has been
having considerable correspondence
with him Of late. The following is
his last letter, verbatim ct literatim:
my DEAR GLADDy:--Yours of
late date received. l expec: to he
with you as soon as my term OF Office
expires. In regard to this Hawaiian
matter-- sent over my two little
boys-two little boys in blue; but
what did they do?
l noted what you said about res
toring the Queen, and that the islands
should be held by her MS common
camp ground until such time ms Eng
land will be able to negotiate with
her Tor the purchase OF tho islands,
30. ! sent Mr.. Blount there clothed
with fnil power to reinstate the Queen,
but all he succeeded in doing was to
pull! down the stars aud stripes. This,
OF course, created a great hub bub, as
! knew 1t would; but it was one step
gained. When no looked over the
held he found the provisional govern.
ment fully armed and with blood in
ITS eye. As Mr.. b. expressed it TO
me-he had all the domestic uppleas.
antness he wanted in his native State
OF Georgia during tho rebellion;
therefore | dispatched Minister vii.
lis, a man of nerve and backbone
with special instructions to reins,ate
tho Queen us soon as my special ses.
sion of Congress should adjourn; then
the Senate could not interfere, and
Is our laws make me Commander.in-
Chief OF the army and navy, and my
party having majority in both
Houses of Congress, though, l had
clear sailing; but Minister Willis
writes me that on arriving there he
found the Queen terribly GU, of hu.
NOR; in short she is afflicted with
'norose hermonia and says tho throne
Is covered with native cactus-bris,.
ling with bayonts and ia her pres.
ent state OF nervous depression she
did not imagine il would agree with
her constitution to sit there. She
feared her case would develop into
spiral maginnis'. In short Minister
willis doesn't think Queen Lii pos.
ses'es the requisite backbone 10 take
her seat and hold il unless l send
"man.of.wsr" to place behind the
throne. No, thinking it good policy
TO do SO, ! have concluded TO allow
the flag to he raised aud let things
remain in statu quo for the presen,
and look after bigger game. Nv
new tariff, or free trade hill, is com. |
plesed, and ! think it's to The Queens |
taste (Victoria). 1t has been made
fully in the interest of your country,
aud if | could have my way it would
app)y only to England; but as that
would be class legislation there nigh,
