American Directive. In RnpI,nd.

Some time since we had stories in the English
papers Of a Liverpool merchant, whose steps
were being logged by an American detective.
The popular impression Of the story, on this side
Of the Atlantic, was well expressed in cut
published by of the illustrated page S, repre-
senting the Liverpool merchant referred to,
shrinking, in terror, from his own shadow,
which bore marked esenblaace to a long. cared
donkey.
II would seem, hoTevsr, that there was NOR,
truth in the story OF American detectives IN
England than We supposed II VIC are To beliey,
the London OBSERVER, which informs us tina
steps have been taken 10 put stop 10 what 4
calls American espionage in England, -.ha
is to say, The system o: sending GU, detsc.iy
policemen to watch Southern rebels 10 Engi,l
cities and towns The editor says:
'Mr. Adams, the United Sa.es Minister il
London, is understood all along 10 have pro;es.
ed against these doings, and they appear /
have been carried on through the instrumental
ity OF aDOther ambassador OF the United State
at foreign court; but it is expected that tn
disclosures that have taken place, Will have tn
effect Of putting an end to proceedings that hav,
sauscd so much public outcry and Indignation.

CHRISTMAS DAY.
Its Observance and Amusements.

Today is the anniversary Of the great festival
Of the year-that which annually gladdens the
hearts of all people whore the joyous words
"Christ is risen" have been heard and in many
tongues, at this early dawn, will be chaunted
the angelic song "Peace on earth, and good
will toward men" which first sweled from the
heavenly choir in rejoicing for His birth. Let
us not content ourselves with merely hoping
that all our neighbors will enjoy "a merry
Christmas" but ourselves aid them to do So
"a merry heart msketh continual feast" we
are told.
Charity, no less than "peace and good will, II
is very ne,diul to the poor in this season of cold
and, too oft ii is to be feared, hunger. To those
who are able to wear a merry countenance with
out an effort, by reason OF their many shekels Of
gold and silver we say-remember the poor.
Not alone in the charitable institutions, which
for widely varied motives are sown broadcast
among US, but on the highways and in the by
ways, where they may be found.
Some people think 1t is very proper and
Others that il is very pleasant to 80 to church
on Christmas Day, ard another class think it a
