DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
Lfli's Refusal to Grant Amnesty Dis
cussed by Mr.. HOar.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Hawaiian
controversy was again brought to the at
tention Of the Senate to-day, and there was
a half hours spirited discussion between
Senator's Hoar, Gray and Daniel. The
Presidents message communicating the re-
cent diplomatic correspondence afforded
Senator Hoar opportunity to speak on the
matter, and he showed, by quoting from
the Hawaiian constitution, that the Queen
in her recent protest that she could not
promise amnesty to the members of the
provisional government was only combining
herself to the limitation of the conStitu-
ton, which does not confer on the crown
such absolute right of granting amnesty,
but requires that pardon be granted
only by the concurrence of the Cabinet
and it's constitutional officers. Senators
Gray and Daniel made some pertinent in
terruptions and threw on Minister Stevens
and his initiative actions all the RESPONSE
bility for whatever irregular methods of
procedure had necessarily grown out OF
the Hawaiian imbroglio.

Little Nellie, while at the seashore with
her mother, was very fond OF making calls
upon some ladies in a neighboring cottage,
and the frequency with which she would
bring home little presents OF cards and
pictures etc, led her mother TO fear that
she might be in the habit OF asking for
these things. she therefore gave the child
strict orders never to do such thing. The

The Hot Summer OF 1854.


A correspondent thus describes the
summer of 1854, long known as the "hot
summer"
Forty years ago the sun shone as it
has done this summer. For months the
heavens were as brass. A great round
ball CT fire rose in the east every morning
and made everything glitter from twelve
to fourteen hours. The roads were inches
deep in dust; the stubble fields and pas
ture fields, and orchards and gardens, and
even the wild woods were dust. Springs
dried up, hogs died, sheep got "scales, F"
cows milk tasted of ragweed, brooks and
creeks were nothing but gravel beds, birds
quit singing, and all the landscape day
and night was filled with a melancholy
stiffness, excepting only the whirl of grass
hopper wings and the shrill, never-ending
chirp of the universal crickets. Out over
Pittsburg, forty miles away, hung per-
petusl cloud, and under that cloud was

try people kept away from the city. The

An Awful Warning.

Alabams would seem to be danger
ous place for young men with kissing pro-
cliylties, and the following press dispatch,
dated Birmingham, September 3, will be
warning to the young folks down there
either to refrain from kissing or be careful
not to tell about it:
Near Newsite, Tallapoosa county, this
morning, James Ashley and his son, Rob-
ert. went into field where Robert Cross,
young farmer was harvesting. Robert
Ashley held Cross while the old man fired
seven bullets into his body. Ashley fired
as long as Cross breathed, remarking.
"Pm going to shoot as long as there is
breath in the damned rasca's body"
Cross went to church with Ashley
daughter and kissed her. She reported
the matter to her father and the murder
resulted. A posse is in pursuit of the
Ashleys, and if captured it is likely they
will be lynched.
But the fact that the good neighbors
are after the Ashley's with view to hang
ing them to the first tree shows that the
people of Alabama are not altogether

Titles are Silly.

We have several times called atten-
"Mister" as title, is absurd. 1t Is iall
right to distinguish Mr.. Jones from Mrs.
Jones in that way, for then it denotes sex.
But as a title it is ridiculous. Mr.. John
Brown. In what does the title "Mr. "
distinguish this particular John Brown
from any other John Brown2 Besides
titles are un-Ameriean and silly. They
have no other effect than to be little. If
man doesn't amount to anything you
cannot improve him by giving him title
and if he does amount to something, he
doesn't need it. The Chicago Post speak
ing on this subject, says: 1--WE laugh a
good deal at parvenu mothers who allude
to their daughters as Miss Lulu and Miss
Jenny, but l, for my part, don't see why
it is any worse than for women who ar e
supposed to have been trained better to
speak of their own husbands as ''Mr.
Allen" and "Mr. Brooks" The Lord be
praised that we have no titles over here
to tack on, for we should be ''sirring" and
"honorabling" and "marquissing and
'ladying" our own brothers and sisters, as
well as husbands and wives. A Christian
name was made to be spoken and called
by, aud is not at all too fine to be used
every day. If your wife's name is Annie,
it will not hurt her a bit, nor derogate
your dignity, to speak of her by that
gentle cognomen; and "my wife" to utter
strangers, who wouldn't know whom
you meant by Annie, is always appropri.

THE CITIZEN
He Snorcd On.

'1 can only recall one experience in
which I may be said to have faced death,
said T. B. Bryan. 'That was during
voyage across the Atlantic several years
ago. We had been ont two or three days
and had been having some pretty rough
weather. It eliminated one night in
terrific storm. The waves rose mountain
high and our ship was tossed about like a
cork. A portion of the upper deck was
carried away and some of the saloon partl
tions were stove in. The noise made by
the waves as they dashed against the sides
of the vessel sounded like the booming of
cannon, and many of the passengers
crouched in their cabins waiting in mortal
terror and expecting every moment to
feel the ship sinking. l was confined to
my cabin by illness, but as had been as
sured by the captain that there was no
danger. | did not share the fear of my fel-
low passengers. However. had the storm
continued in its fury, or had the boat been
less staunch, we should in all probability
have been food for fishes, or have had to
rely on the meagre support of the small
boats. A fellow passenger evidently had
sublime faith in the captains ability 10
pull her through, or was exceeding indif-
| ferent to his fate In the midst OF the up
roar caused by the dashing waves the
breaking of timbers and the outcries OF
the passengers, be lay peacefully IN bis
cabin sound asleep. He was an inveterate
snorer, and during the lulls the music Of
his nasal organ could be heard with reas-
suring regularity. His wife rushed in the
cabin crying: 'Iucien, o Lucien, the YES.
sci is sinkingl"
"Lucien turned over, partially awokt
and muImured: Sinking, are WEI
(Snore.) Well, let her (snore) sink
What are You (snore) going to do (snore.

"His wife said afterwards that his view
of the situation resssured her more thai
anything else could have done"
