THE HAWAIIAN I N Y f1 I Ii VTIO N Tbe Seuate Committee on For. eigh Relitinns, of winch Senn'or Morgan is chairman and Senators Butler, Giay, Fre and Sherman are members, arfe emplijiug ihe congressional recec-8 iu an investi gation of Hawaiian HtTaiis. They are piooceding under a resVution adopted ty tbe gjna-e and which is as follown 'Resolved, That tb Committee on Foreign Relations sbVl inquire and report whether any, and if so what ii regularities hive oocurted in the diplomarii) or other inter course between the I'nited States and Hawaii in reUtion to the re- cent political revolution in Hawaii, and to this end Slid Committee is authorr'jd :o sen! for persons and was deposed anil the provisional government established. His testi mony sustains Ex-M inister Stevens and the provisional Government. Lie testifies tbat the people were Tearful of outrage and incendiar ism. For tbis reason and for the purpose of protecting Americans I and their property, Mr. Emerson said, tbe Lnited States marines and Bailors were brought ashore. Qe was positive they took no part in the overthrowing pf the ijaeen and lent no aid to the men wbo es tablished tbe provisional govern ment. Other witnesses will be introduc ed including Ex-Ministers Stevens and Blount. The personnel of the committee is an assurance of thorough and rigid investigation. Morgan is ac customed to going to tha bottom of all questions of public policy with out fearjor favor. Gray is the accred ited representative of the A Imin- i i8tration. On the other hand, Sher man is ths leader of the Republi can party iu the Senate, and Frye is the personal and political friend of Kx-njnjister Stevens. Jn the very nature of things there can be no concealment nor evasion. But the more pleasing thought is associated with tbe fact that the Committee is composed of States men who are large enough to take in a great national question and consider its bearings as they relate to national development, honor and rights. There is an evident disposition on the part or the oommittee to uiscuss iue Hawaiian naes ,10a .1 : .1 i-t : . trom the Stand pint of its value to ' of the Christian soldier and Martyr, Na ihp rtntwl Statu. n atratii. i tlla" Hall, and throughout her borders. as a strategic j position, but due consideration will be given to the rights ot H -twain j and tbe interests of her people.

J. Havens. CHRISTMAS POEM. I.. T. ItlGIlTsLI.I.. On her mountains proud and lordly Sat the City of the King, Splendid, but to Gentile masters Still her homage rendering; Still the storied mount of Zion Held the oracles of God, Though no more by sons of Levi Were the sacred pavements trod. Boding portents of the heavens Filled the souls of men with dread, And the burning hope was cherished That the power ol days lonw fled Through Jehovatfs kindly favor Might return to Israel, Anil her .'rim and iron masters From her sacred bounds expel. Bearon liKht of aU the ageS) Shone a bright celestial gem, 1 .n. -. n Beckemng the Godly pilgnms ?rom,the ,dcsert far ?lva-v, Io a hovel mean and lowlv :V1 . 1 TJ " ' Where the Prince of Heaven lav. Precious offerings they brought him, Priceless treasures, gems and gold; More than joyous in his presence, They the s nless babe extolled; While an angel choir above them In a dolus full and free Flung upon the air the accents Of exultant melody. In tbe ages that have followed Never has that chorus died. And the shame dimmed not the glory When the Christ was crucified; Peace and blessedness to mankind Was the benediction sung Sweetest song of all the ages Voiced by man's or angel's tongue. One there was who heard ami treasured In her heart the things she heard. Joyous m the grand fulfillment Of th ellolv Spirit's word ; Named bv future generations. And of womankind most blest, From uer low estate exa:tec Thank fal words her joy expressed. Blessed those who thus shall treasure All that has been sdd ami done By that selfsame Holy Spirit And the blessed Mary's Son. Hallowed be the time appointed As the Savior's natal day, That it may be full of gladness Let us all devoutly pray. HYDE CO., RUST PROOF OATS FOR SEED A SPECIALTY, AT CHAS.

Edward Bull left Thu-sday by the evening train of the W NAN R R on his annual trip in the interest of the East Carolina Fair. He carried with him six thousand handsome posters some ol them measuring six feet which he will get well placeu at the points he visits. They will be put up at every station of importance throughout the whole State and in portions of Virginia and South Carolina. Mr. Bull will pay more attention to South Carolina this year than ever before on account of the direct communication that has been opened up by the W N & N R R. A very large number of visitors are ejpeoted from that direction, and the exhibit will no doubt be largely increased thereby also. We hope specially to have good exhibits from Wilmington and from points all along the road in addition to the visitors. Besides the circulars Mr. Bull will dis tribute a thousand very pretty calendars advertising the Fair. The trip is bound to bring good results. . ,The special Fair edition of the Jot'it N Al, will also soon be issued. A number of nanus have already been furnished for it. Others can been sent in as rapidly as desired. We are glad to get the name of any one who is likely to feel an inter est in the Fair, either as a visitor or ex hibitor. The Class of People that are Genera' !y i ont of Employment. 1 One of our exchanges gets preUy near the real causes why so many people I through ont thecountry generally are out j of employment. Of eourse it is not true in all cases, but ; it fits a jreat many , and yoa do not 1 have to go out of New B ane to tin o ome , of them either. We .ju ,te from the I writer. J "I seldom find any body out of work j except those who are looking tor some thing that they are incompetent to per form. A man who is able to adapt him himself to circumstances and takes any job w hich offers is never out of employ j ment. and it is only for a short time at I most that he is obliged to do anything that is really benefit hi.- ability. As soon hs he demonstrates lohisim plover his fitness for a higher position, he is sure to be promoted. Those ho. aspire to something above their ability how ever, are very numerous. Many ol these are actually ignorant ot of the fact that they are unqualified for the kind of work they are seeking. It would be a mercy to many such men if some one would tell them kindly that their search is in vain, because other nu n are better qualified to perform the duty they ispireto' lan themselves, and will therefore be preferred. There is nianv a man who would make an excellen1. port er that fritters away his life as a lame ex cuse for a book-keeper." Wants to lurestigate the Phenomenon. Mr, E. S. Martin, Attorney-at-law, Wilmington, N.C.,is desirious of account ing for the remarkable celestial phenome non of the 20th inst. To do this he wants as accurate statements as possible along the following lines : 1st. Exactly what was seen. 2d. Thj location in the skv when first i and last seen. 3d. Its apparent size. 4th. If any noise was heard as it pass ed along. If so, what kind. 5th. If it was seen to explode, and if so whether sound was heard, and how long it was alter the explosion before the sound was heard. Mr. Martin gives the above as special points that are essential te a definite in vestigation; but any and all information is acceptable as it may become valuable. He considers the third point the most important one.au.l especially requests the location by the points of the compass when it can be given, or as near it as pos i bio, both in its beginning and ending; how- many degrees apparently each cud v as above the northern or southern hori zon, and east or west of a line overhead.
