I A I SIZE AND CLIMATE. The Hiwaiian group onsiite of 6leveu islands, of which Hawaii id the largest. The isla- ds contain about 6,000 square miles ; and of this H"waii has an area .f i railj 4,000 square uniep, Maui 7G0, Oahu (which contains Honolulu, ibe pHpita') GOO, and Kauai 900 Lanai, KahoulisU), Molkai, N'.hau, Kaula, Lehun, and Molokini are sniall islands. Ai! are of volcanic origin, moui.tainous, and Hawaii contains the largest active crater in tbe world, Kil; uae. one of the craters of Mauna Loa ; while Maun contains the lai gest kr;o r extinct crater, Haiakala, the House of the Sun, a pit r-iDe miles iu diam etei and two thousand feet deep. Mauna Loa and Mnuna Kea are near ly 14,000 feet high, as high as Mount Grey, in Colorado. The mercury stands between G8 and 81 degrees in the winter months in Honolulu. The mornings are often a little overcast ui til about half past nine, when it clears awaj' bi ighr. The bottesi part of the day is before noon. Tbe trade wind uualy blow.", and when it does it is always ceo! ; with a eoutb wind, it is sometimes a little sultry before noon. The night are cool enough for sound rest, but not cold. It is not by any means a torrid climate ; and it has, perhaps, tbefewes1, daily extremes ot any pleasant climate in tbe world. For instance, the mercury ranges in Jan uaiy between 69 at. 7 a. ua , 75 at 2 p. m , and 71J at 10 p. m. The high est temperature in that month is 78. and the low et 68. December and January are usually the coolest months in the year at Honolula, but the variation is extremely slight for the whole year, the maximum of the warmest lay in July being only 8G, and this at noon, and the loweb! mark being 62 degrees in the early morning in December. It is a charru iog climate for children ; and as sea bithing is possible and pleasant . at all times, those who derive benefit from this may here enj y it to the fullest extent during ali tbe winter months.

The prr-duc' of silver from cur own mine-! is p'ac- ed ut 58,100,000 cunces, ui the commercial value, at the average priet of silver during ti e year, of 850,750,G00, and of the coining vilu in eilver dollars of 874,080.900. Thi is a falling ( ff of b30,000 ounces from the product of the preceding year. Tbe amount of silver purchased by the government during the year, uu- dtr the mandatory provisions ( f tbe act of July 14. 1800, as 54,129,725 fine ounces, copting $47,394,291, au average, of 87 cents per fine ounces From this silver 7,333,245 silver dol lars were coined durirg the year. The imports of gold aggregated 18,165,056, and the exports 76, 735,592, a net loss of 53,570,536. The silver imports aggregated 31, 450,968, and the exports 37,531.301, an excess of silver experts of 6,C90, 333. The director reviews tbe recent movement of gold irom the United States, commencing in May. 18fc8. During the last year, that is, from Febiuaiyl9. 1892, when the last movement commenced, to Febiuary 15, 1893, the export of gold from tbe port of New York has aggregated 90,728, G39. The total merallic slock on Janua ry 1st, 1893, was estimated to have been: Gold, 649.788,020; silver. 593,305,365; total, 1,243,153,385 The stock of gold iu the United States fell off duriDg the last caltu dar year 39,905,000, while the stock of silver increased 46,000,000. The amount of money iu circula tion (exclusive of the amount in the Treasury) was 1,611,32;, 763 on January 1, 1893, au increase of 18, 928,124 during the year. There was an iucreace 'of over 12,000,000 in gold product of the world during tbe last calet der year. Of this" increase 2 000,000 was from Australia, and over 9 000,000 from South Africa. The total silver pro duct of the world increased during the last calendar year about 7,000, 000 ounces, occasioned-- by an in crease of 4,600,000 in the product of Mexican mine , and 2,400,000 in tbe poduct of tbe mines of Australia.

T PfKA, K .n , Feb 22 The Stale ; t iinle to-night adopted a resolution j ib c'aring tnat the Supreme- Co.irt i Lad i o jnrisdictiof in the House nn; !d!e. and theteb re i:0 right lo cbc.de j:s fo lega'iiy of tbe House of RepM-sci. tntives. Tins is regarded as due notice to tee Supreme Court u t to render a decir-ion in the case now pending, which will determine the legality of ti e Republican House. The general belief iti.nt the Republicans will be sustained by tbe Supreme Court ciused the resolution to be adopted. It is beiieved that it means war and utter disregard of the courts by the P.pu!ists. The senator ial questiou has been the absoibing topic to-day. Tbe s'alw.irt Democrats have joined -tbe Wngguer boom, which practically unites all Democrats outside of Judge Martin's imCL.ediate followers j for MWgner. Eighty Republicans j and t wo Democrat are reported to be for WaggUv"-, and the Republican leaders say there are three Populists who h-ive agreed to walk into th convention and vote for Waggner i the Supreme Court decides that tb Repub iean House is legal. It i generally beiieved the court will sus tain the Republican House and that a decision will be reached by Fr ddy morning. If it does it defeats Judg Martin and elects E. P. Waggner to the Senate from Kansas. Jud Martin received only 76 votes from members holding certificates. The others were from Populist contest ants who had never been legally seated. The Republicans say tha whiie Waggr.er cculd probably secure his seat, on 82 voter, tl ey proposed to give huu 83, and poesi biy S5, which is two more than majority of a!i the members of iho Lgislat ure. THE CABINET IS COMPLETE. Washington Post. Mr. Cleteiaud announced this eve r ing that he hsd completed his cabi net by the seiecficu of Richard Olt ey of Boston, for Attorney General, and Hilary A. Herbert of Alabama, for Siciefary of the Navy. The complete cabinet is as fol low s : Walter Q. Gresbm, of Indiana, Secretary of State. Johu ii. C.nli.-ie, of Kentucky, Secretary of the Treaury. Da iel S. Lamont, of New York, Seiretary of War. Hilary A. Herbert, of Alabama Secretary of tbe Navy. Hoke Smith, of Georgia, Secretary of the Interior. J. Sterling Morton, of Nebraska, Secretary of Agriculture. Wilson S. Bissell, of New York, Postmaster General. Richard Olney, of Mar sachusetts, Attorney G- ceral. x Tbe selection of Hilary A. Her bert for the Navy has been expected for several days, but Mr. Olney's name had not been mentioned in connection with tbe cabinet, and hij select ion is a surprise 'o everybody, particularly to tbe friends of George A. Jeuks ; who was last nigbt report ed to have received and accepted a tender of the position. rw - T a . xiiury a. iieroert nas oeen in Congress for many years and has acted as chairman of the naval com in it tee cf the House. He is thor oughly familiar with tbe work that hns been done toward placing the United States navy on a proper foot ing, and bis knowledge of tbe present condition of the vessels under con etructiqrt, and which have been plans ned, makes him a most desirable man for tbe head of the department. His selection is also practically a promo tionl Mr. Richard Olney is one of the leading practitioners of tbe Massa chusetts bar, and is known as one of tbe leading lawyers and substantia' citizens of Boston.

WE THINK NOT BROTHER. Charlotte Observer. Commenting on the recent suspen sion of it contemporary, the Robe suiao opines that tnis year is to be one streaked all ov:-r with "hard lines" for tbe nwspjoers. For tbe life of it the Observer fails to see whereon its contemporary liases its doleful prediction. L6t yea;'s bread and meat crops were bountiful, a good part of the cotton crop brought a good price ; and, wbile tbe people generally hav en't much money, they are in a com fortable condition and able to pay small debts. Then, too, the general government is iu the bands of the Oc-ujocraticL party, whence Southern newspapers derive nearly all their suppoit, and more people than ever will desire to keep op with the progress of public affairs ; Vith tbe inauguration of the new administra tion Southern industrial enterprise will receive a great impetus, induced by confidence in Cleveland and those whom be calls to his aid at tbe coun cil table so that, altogether, 1893 promises to be a "red letter'" year for Southern journalism. Of course the calamity-howler (no reference to our contemporary) would howl if plunged to the throat in plenty, but be has been crying "wolf" every morning for lo ! these many years as soon as he got up, and the wolf hasn't come yet. HOUSE RESOLUTION 642. We are pleased to see that House Resolution 642, in reference to print ing from Foote's Roster of State Troop?, the many sketches of North Carolina troops in tbe late war, has passed the House. It is tbe earnest desire of tbe old veterans that these sketches, written by such gallant sol diers as W. R. Cox, Bryan Grimep, R. T. Bennett, J. T. Gregory, S. D. Lowe, J. U. Hymanp, R. W. York and others, reciting tbe heroic deeds of our brave boys in the war for Southern Independence, should be printed, ard the efforts of the Stat Librarian to have them put in book form is to be commended. Mr. Bird song, himself an old soldier, is very zealous in trjing to perpetuate tb memory of our soldiers, wbich is evi decced by the large number of por traits he has secured for the Library rooms, lne nistory of tbe brave soldiers from North Carolina, has never been given to the public, and t is hoped that this will be the mean cf starting some one to do our sol !irs justice. It is hoped that when the resolution reaches the Senate it will meet with tbe same favorable consideration it did in tbe House. and that these papeia will soon be printed. THE MONETARY FUTURE. New York, Feb. 24 R. G. Bunn & Co's. weekly review of trade wil 6av : "The collapse of the coal com bination formed a year ago by tbe Reading railroad and tbe sharp de pression in sugar stocks and tbe few railway stacks have made the week one of unusual excitement in specu lative circles. But while $3,000,000 in gold has gone abroad this week and half a million more is expected to go to-day, there is no increase o apprehension about the monetary future, and tbe business world pays little attention to the action or inac tion of congress, though the in creasing probabilities of an extra session are regarded with some in terest. Tbe value of trade has not been diminished except by severe storms and the holiday Wednesday and tbe actiyity of the great indus tries is unchecked. Tbe Memphis trade is looking up and business is air at Nashville, though collections are not quite so good. At Atlanta trade is good. Mobile reports fair trade and satisfactory collections, and at New Orleans tbe general trade is only fair, but building contracts are heavy, tbe mills having all the orders they can fill. Sugar is in light demand and rice dull. Savannah re ports dull trade, but active demand or money, while at Charleston trade is improving. Iron is still tne weak- e-t of the great industries and pig not of tbe best brand is a shade weaker than a week ago. Business n bars is unsatisfactory, plates are very weak and, wniie structural works are full of orders, competition 3 eo sham that prices have little bancs to improve. Cotton manu- icturing is thorouhly healthy, divi dends at Fall River being the largest for four years and some advances are noted in prices of goods, while prints and print cloths are very firm. AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE. To make it apparent to thousands who think themselves ill, that they are ot affected with any disease, but that the system simply needs cleansiDg, is to bring comfort home to their hearts, as a California Fig Syrup Co, DEMOCRATIO Tbe election of William N. Roach, Democrat, io be United States Sen ator from North Dakota, definitely fix- the control of tbe next Senate in Democratic hands and compl-ios the November victory cf the Demo cracy The new Senate, wbich will assemble simultaneously with thein aguration of the President, will con tain forty-four Democrats, thirty seven Republicans, and four Pop ulists ot Silverites. In "Wyoming, Montana, and Washington Senators are yet to be chosen. As the next Senate will be com posed of eighty-eight members, the election of Mr. Roach gives the Dem ocrats a clear haif of the whole num ber possible ; " and. that, with the Vice-President's vote in the case of a tie, puts tbe Democratic party in the saddle in the Senate for two years at least. It does more. It relieves the na tional Democracy from a hateful, perilous, and distasteful alliance with tbe Populists. It will compel the Republicans to strike hands with the latter if they hope to imperil Demo cratic control, a dangerous political companionship for either of the great parties. The election of Mr. Roach also frees the Democrats from any de pendence upon the three States where vacancies exist, all three in the extreme Northwest. It again exalts the stalwart Democratic figure of Mein Herr Adlai Stevenson ofBloom- mgton to a position of national im portance. Brother Adlai has the casting vote. The election of Mr. Roach is a good thing all around. It stiffens th Democratic cdlumn in the Northern States. It will aid in relieving some of the pressure upon Senator Mar tin's title to bis post from Kansas. It justifies the fond hope of all good Democrats that tbe victory of 1892 should be complete ; and it secures. from ail accounts, a very good man in the United States Senate from North Dakota. Last and chiefest, it will enable the Democracy of 1893 to carry out the tariff policy proclaimed in the Democratic platform of 1892 without hindrance from a Republican Senate. Tho way is clear for an effacement of unconstitutional protection and the enactment of a tariff for revenue only. FUNERAL OF GEN. BEAURE GARD. By telegram to tho News & Observer. New Orlzaks, La., Feb. 23. The funeral of Gen. Beauregard to-day was one of tbe largest and most im posing ever witnessed in this city. All the exchanges were closed as a mark of respect to the deceased gen eral, while business in the courts and other public offices was virtually, suspended. Early this morning the family of the general'arrived at City Hall and were assigned a room ad joining tbe council chamber where tbe remains lay in state. AU day a con stant stream of people went through City Hall to get a last glimpse of the well known soldier. A detail of vets erans assisted tbe regular police force in keeping order. Among those who arrived this morning to take part in the ceremonies were Governor Foster and party from Ba ton Rouge, Members of Raphael Sen ates, Camp and Confederate veterans from Mobile and Col. J. B. Hertford and Gen. Cabbell of tbe Trans Mis sissippi Department. The cortage moved from City Hall a little after 3 o'clock for Metaire cemetery. THE TROUBLE WITH THE DINNER. Wilson Mirror. We met her at the dinner table last Thursday, and when our vision first fell npon her lovely form we were enchanted. A smile, which seemed like a halo of radiance pour ed its glorious ripples around her rratchless mouth ; a little blush had tinged her cheeks with a coloring so exquif itely delicate tbat tbe tin tings of tbe flowers would have been i biotcb in comparison; her eyes beam ed with tbe eternity of lustre which flings radiance down into every nook and corner of the soul, and scatters the light of hopeful inspiration into the dreariest receBsea of man's dar kened nature.

Tbat grand child is only S years of age, but iu obedience to telegrams from the Beauregard family she left yesterJay for Few Orleans to attend the fun eral. Her uncle, Mr. W. S. Lsren don, county engineer for a long time, will leave to-day and be away i:ntil after the body is laid to rest. Mr. Larendon, though yet a young man, knew Gen. Beauregard well, and re calls many happy incidents of his life. "The General," said Mr. Larec den last night, "was one of the most entertaining and charming mea I have ever had the good fortune to know. He was one of the most ge J nial and generous cf men, and wa? devoted to the South and the cause for which he fought so long and so hard. I remember him well scd especially in his home life. It was there that the General excelled. He was the kindest and most devoted husband and the tenderest and most gentle father I have ever known. His life was one cf romance and good living. "The General was born twenty miles from New Orleans oa tie 23d day of May, ISIS, on the Yiilere plantation and entered West Point" in 1834 The Villere plantation had been in that family from the very first settlement of the conLtty and Jules Yillere was tbe second Gover nor of Louisiana. After graduating General Beauregard married a grand- daughter of Governor Jules Villere, bj whom he Lad three cLildren. Tbe eldist, a son, Rene B. Beaure gard, is eow jugde cf tLe parish court in New Orleans. The second was a son, too, Henry B. who is cow a leading citizen of St. Louis. The third child was a daugLter, Misa Laura, who married my brother, Charles A. Larendon. She is cow dead and was the mother of two children, but only cce of them is alive. Tbat child is a girl of eight years and has been living with Caps tain Y. P. Sisson, who married my sister, for several yesrs. "General Beauregard's wife died while be was at the front, and after the war he married again, brt I can not recall the name of the lady he married last. He was one of the gentlest, kindest men I have ever known and every one who came in contact with him learned to love him. My wife, who was his niece, has been dead since 18S4. She and brother's wife died just a month apart- The people of New Orleans, among whom the general lived so long, knew him well and they all loved him dearly. His daalh will cause many to recall his many kind deeda to the old Confederate soli dier." A MILLION FRIENDS.
