LindenWoOd.

Revelry wakes in the dim halls of Linden
 wood
 Strange is the minstrelsy there to be
 heard; Long have they slumbered in silence and
 solitude,
 Haunted alone of the night rowing bird. Swells with its chorus the mirth- mingled
 banquet song,
 Fresh as the tide-lifted pillows at play Why to the festal board comes not the
 bridal throng?
 Where with his bride, doth the bride
 groom delay? Lingering still stands the lord of green Underwood.
 Waiting the bride for her nuptial arrayed Loath to be led from the bower of maiden
 hood,
 Lady of lineage, proud to be made Silently there at her portal he listeneth; Gloweth his heart with rapture inspired, While in his glance, as a beacon-star glis-
 teneth. 7 Love with the flash of expectancy fired. To! it is she in the moonlight that beck
 oneth,
 Timing her step to the faint flowing song? Naught but the spell of her presence he
 reckoneth,
 Fitting the intricate mazes along. Still from his touch like a shadow ethereal, Glideth she on in the dim yelling light, Till as the torch in a vapor funereal Quenched is the widering vision to sight. Harki let the choral song cease In old Lin- denwood
 Pray for a soul from life's revelry fled! High in her chamber, the shrine of her
 maidenhood.
 Pale as her bridal wreath, lleth she dead Mourn. let us mourn for the gray halls of
 Lindenwood;
 There nevermore be the minstrelsy heard; Leave them alone in their silence and sol
 itude,
 Haunted again of the night rowing bird.

after the company had repaired to the drawing room.
 In the first quarter of this century, when Byron had "waked upon one morning and , found himself famous" the poets Camp bell and Moore remarked to Poet Words l worth that they had never met Lord Byron. 1 Thereupon Wordsworth fixed a day for l Byron, Campbell and Moore to dine with l him. At dinner Byron turned his glasses 1 down and declined all the viands offered 1 him. The host, in distress, begged that the l fickle guest of honor would name a dish 1 agreeable to him. Byron called for potates l and vinegar The butler announced there 1 were none. He next called for soda and ] crackers. There were none. Byron's mother I was extremely corpulent and in his appre- l hension of an hereditary deformity he l starved himself beyond endurance. It was | his habit to terminate protracted hunger with an indulgence at a London coffee house. When he lived with the Countess Ginccoli in Italy, his breakfast was a single egg and hard cracker taken at D. m.
 It may be questioned if any more his
 toric dinners were ever given in any coun- try than those of Mir Benjamin Ogle Tay- l loe a Virginian, of Washington City, whose l residence was at the corner across Pennsyl- vania avenue opposite the white house. , The entertainments did not come now and l then, upon extraordinary occasions but | they were MT. Tayloe's chosen way of mak- l ing himself happy and others delighted. | Once, at least, he went in person all the | way to Charleston, s. C., to buy his Madeira | wine. Cellars down there were famous for | their Madeira. It was customary to ship | casks of old wine on a sailing vessel to be gone for months over the seas to benefit l the flavor. On this occasion MT. Tayloe and ms son, travelling with him, went diect to
 the Charleston hotel After breakfast the two gentlemen went out to find the wine
 merchant. Returning to their rooms, they
 missed their baggage. The clerk was called
 for an explanations: MT. - sent a wagon for it, sir, and presumed he had authority:
 here is his card and letter." The letter told
 that MT. Tayloes home should be in his friends house so long as his visit to Charleston continued A carriage would call at certain hour. At one of Mr. Tayloe's entertainments at home the fol- lowing guests were present: Edward Ever ett, James Buchanan, Daniel Webster John c. Calhoun, Henry Clay the German min
 lster and his secretary, the British min 1ster and others of important rank and po- sition besides ladies' An Englishman pres ent Wagered the German secretary after dinner as they stood near the door, that he could thrust his bare fist through the door panels. The wager was taken. The English
 list drew back and flew through the panel,
 crushing it. The next morning early a me-
 chanic came to put in a new panel before
 MT. Tayloe was up.

The objects of the Chamber of
Commerce, as outlined by the Adj
vertiser, which evidently speaks for
w. o. Smith, are "to promote the
commercial prosperity of the port of
Honolulu and the Hawaiian Islands
generally, by procuring and dis
seminating statistical and other in
formation and by the employment
of agents or otherwise. 1t may also
ascertain, from time to time, what
legislative or diplomatic arrange
ments would conduce to the COM
mercial advancement of the Islands
to the end that recommendations
may be made and information fur
nished to the several Departments
of the Government, and NAV also
provide for the determination by
proper committees of all disputes in
commercial matters between its
members or other merchants of
Honolulu. who may see fit to submit
the same to arbitration, and gene
rally it may do all acts and things
not inconsistent with the Constitu-
ton and laws of the country to pro-
mote a regular and economical sys-
tenn of trade and uniform and exact
proceedings in business. 1t is APP
parent from this that the work of
the Chamber Of Commences repre-
sentative is to give his undivided
attention to the commercial and in
dustrial affairs of Honolulu and Ha.
wlii.@,. Certainly there is enough
in this to occupy one mans entire
ii ne and thought. Thus there can
be no question of what is expected
of Mr.. Smith and any deviation
from this course, which the advo-
Gates of qualified franchise seek,
will simply result in failure of the
mission. We believe Mr.. Smith is
keen enough to appreciate the stu
alton, although some of his friends
do hope he will indulge in political
labor.

MINISTER OF FINANCE.

The appointment of Theo. F.
Lansing to the post of Minister OF
Finance at last gives the Executive
branch of the local government 2
full working force at a time. when
activity is particularly needed. Mr..
LanSing's high standing in the
business community is well known
and as on previous occasion when
he assumed the duties of the
Finance department, the people
have full confidence in his capacity
to properly administer the Office.
His first duty will be to lend his
influence to placing in circulation
at an early day the large amount
of surplus coin in the treasury.
This money is needed by the pub
lie and it is to be presumed that
Mr.. Lansing, coming fresh from
business circles will make an effort
to meet the present demand, so far
as is possible under liberal adj
miniStration.
As to the political phases Of the
appointment, the people can draw
their own conclusion. 1t is well und
erstood that in accepting a position
in the Cabinet, Mr.. Lansing does
not withdraw from his support OF
principles, which are well known to
the people of Hawaii. Mr.. Lansing
has been classed with what is known
locally as the Opposition and po'
sition in the Cabinet cannot change
his position toward the large per
sonal political following which he
has.
Mr.. Dole has shown good Judge
ment in his selection and progress
Sive administration of the Finance
Department may be anticipated.
