Suffering of the Coiored Popuiacs of WASH
inKtOn! ta4

The National Freedmens Relief Association
of the District of Columbia, through its agent,
publishes appeal to the, people Of the North
and the friends of humanity generally to aid
them iu relieving the colored people in and
around the National Capital. The cOlored pop
ulation of Washington in 1860 numbered IA, ,0OO.
since which time at least 5000 have been added,
many of whom refugees from Virginia and
Maryland. \ correspondent of tie n. Y Tri1'
Iuns gives a picture of the present condition Of
these people, ~
Those trom Maryland were aged or crippled,
and driven away by their former masters to
whom they were longer useful. The influx
of freedmen of this class from Mdrylaud, al
though it is steadily decreasing is still very
considerable, aud theAss0ciHtion finds it utterly
impossible to supply all with the commOnest
necessaries Of life. The Association has, to
the extent Of its abilities, mnstered to the wants
of the destitute by distribution of qnartermas-
ter and commissary stores, but find all their ef-
forts toward their relief inadequate to meet the
necessities Of the case.
Owing to this extreme destitutfon, the most
frightful mortality exists, rs many as so cotins
per week being furnished by the Quartermaster's
Department, most of which are for children. Il
is the opinion of physicians practcing among
them and of other close observers, that three
fourths of these children die from neglect and
want. In the family of a soldier who lost his
life in battle, ive out of the ten children have
died since March, 1865, from the above causes.
In another, three out of seven children Of a sol-
dier drafted in December last have aaryed TO
death within the last three weeks. The mothl
ers, in both cases, were prostrated with sick
ness and all their supplies were suddenly and
entirely cut off. t,. ~
Ia the same square mothers and sons wives
and children of soldiers still in Goyernment SER
vic4 as regular bnited States troops, are suffer-
ing for tbs. .uecessaries of life; "knowing noth-
ing more of these men, they say that Stwhen
the war broke up they didn't come home.
Near these lives another soldiers wife, ,haEing
four skeleton children, who, as she SAYS, were

But, said she, God knows how often we are hnn-

TaE Missouri PACIFIC RALROAD.-This great
enterprise is now completed, aud by connecting
with the Union Pacific at Kansas a continuous
line is now open to Lawrence, Kansas, shorten
ing the land travel US for the mountains two
hundred miles. In long article upon this
great work, the Missouri Democrat says, II we
have no space to dwell on :he- future prospects
Of this important highway Of commerce. The
road is essentially Missouri enterprise 1t
has been built from the proceeds of 81 900 900
of State bonds 81, ,2OO,0 coo mortgages $4,000,
600 received from st. Louis city aud county :;
about $3.50, 900 private subscriptions, and about
the same amount from interior counties 1t has
cost an immense sum beyond the original esti-
mates, but the causes we have endeavored to
trace as they arose. Our citizens will BE- too
much grstified at the completion of the road to
count the cost at present. The future pros poets
of the road seem glOrions. All the time it has
been in process of construction, the advance Of
civilization into the west, the new discoveries
in Idaho, Montauo, Colorado and New Mexico,
the development of Utah aud Nevada, have added
teri-fod to the business of the Plains The
Union Pacific railroad, running from Kansas
City; stretches out its arms to Fort Riley, ard
draws a new traffic to its terminus. New stage
liuesy emigrant routes, freight transportation
lines and settlements are springng up rapidly,
and all these must contribute to the prosperity
of the Missouri Pacific. In the distant future
we may see the great National Pacific Railroad
completed, and then the hopes Of the builders
of our own Pacific will realize the full fruition
of their hopes, and the city of st. Louis re-
ceive reward with interest an hundred fold
for her past outlay

AT CHRISTMAS TIME.

Tonight we gather round the hearth
While now the Christmas time is near,
The time We keep with song and mirth,
With noisy games and festal cheer
Not quite twelve fieeting months have passed
With rapid changes, through year
OF shifting light aud shade, since last
We kept our merry Christmas. here
Then Wars fierce clarion sounded loud,
And faces that we see to night,
Once veiled within the battles ClOudi
Shone in the camP-ire's lurid light.
And othets, whom, no more we see,
Lie silent in Deaths dreAmless sleep,
Nor shocks of ages yet TO be
Shall veX their slumbers long and deep.
To them we Gil our, glasses high,
We pledge them through all future years,
To them we drain the goblet dry
In spite of rising wells of tears.
What tears for them 2-let sorrow cease
For those who know not grief Or care
Theirs is deeper, hoier peace
They breathe calmer purer Sirl
Long ages since the dawn of day,
Gliding the edges OF the morn,
Looking in athwart the gloom where lay
The Christ-chid Of the Virgin born.
And high DER Bethlehem's hAlis and towers,
Through the long watches of the night,
Growing the dark and silent hours,
One pale star ShOne with mystic light.
Oh hsppy morn, whose daWhing gave
Hope 10 lost and sinful race,
Thy influence reaches past the grave,
On through remotest time and space.
Ring BELLS of cheer, ring n the day
When cruel wrong at last shall cease,
When feud and hate shall pass away,
And bring the reign Of Love and PeAcel

TIE NATIONAL DEBT The rebellion
leaves US Fith great national debt of nearly
So ,UU0, 600, ,0U0, which, il is believed, can be
paid in tweuy>6ye years without expressing
any brsnch OF industry. 10 the payment OF
this debt We have the statistics of our wealth
doubling every ten years, and our population
every thirty years, to which may be added
millions of undeveloped resources aud a
steady immigration from foreign countries to
bear liberal share The debt of the United
States in 1916 was Si27 100000, or 4O7
per cent upon the total property. Now the
So ,o00, 100000 is only Is per cent upon
the property of the loyal States, to which
add. the revenue TO be derived from the late
rebellious States, and the percentage will be
much Eess than that of 1916, or the British
debt at the present time. Every dollar of
thss1ebt Of 1916 was paid in less than twen,

What distribution should be nlade of the
public lands In 1916, the debt of Great
Britain was $4,000 OOO, 900, or 40 1 per
cent. on the property Of the kingdom which
is now down to II per cent. Taking into
consideration the doubling of our wealth
every ten yeaU, the doubling of our popuIt-
tion every thirty years, the vast area of our
country, aud its richness in mineral and ag-
ricultursl wealth, We see no reason why this
debt may not be easier paid than that of
1916. The next Congress will no doubt
make many changes in the revenue law

will probably be substituted by a tax on SKIES,
which cannot fail to make a fair distribution
of the burden. Many persons, inimical to
the Government, have escaped the income

THE HEBREW New YEAR.-This is one of the
most solemn feasts of the Jewish Church, ex-
ceptiug the day of atonement. For more than
forty centuries what link in the record of
timel-have these solemn feasts been observed
among the descendants of Abraham, In every
cline, wherever the feet of men have trod, have
these people assembled TO do honor to the Lord
their God. The reason why two days are
celebrated is because it seems that among the
ancient Jews there was dispute with regard to
the time one party contending that it was on
one day, and the other that it was the next fol-
lowing Not being able to FIX upon the day,
they agreed to celebrate both. Christians would
perhaps have fought over such point, or any
rate would have estsblishsd different churches.
How distant through the vista of buried ages
seems the time since the date of the Jewish era !!
What changes have occurred What empires
have arisen, fiourished and passed away
Five thousand years have rolled away, and the
Hebrews are now tthe only people who still
preserve the memorials of the fret ages Of the
world. Or the Egyptian plains, amid the Ara
biau wilderness among the mountains OF Fales-
tine, long before single stone was placed IN
Rome-aye, even before the Parthenon was con-
ceived or Greece known, did these people cele-
brate their Rosh HashanH; and on down through
the misty ages that crowned the glory-time Ut
Tyre aud Sidoni of Sardia and Phenicia. The
age of Cyrus and the age of Nahomet have alike
beheld the celebration of the Head of the
Year While Xenophon was retreating with
the immortal ten thousand when Caesar was
conquering Gaul; while Peter the Hermit was
3" maddening mankind" while Tamerlane was
buildinghi pyramid with a hundred thousand
skulls, these people held their " solemn feasts"
And on down-while revolutions have swept
away all traces of once fourishing empires {;
while the Jewish nationality has long since per-
7shed, yet, in the forms of their religion they
still exist. Though prosecuted, though their
race has been driven from country to country,
their goods and wealth made spoils for their en-
mics. vet their distinctive national Character

Had personal interview with the Chief Magis-

had any more left. Chief Magistrate wanted to
know what position ] held in the rebel army.
The answer was faint, somewhat hesitahng, and
somewhat shaky-I said: Quartermaster.
Chief Magistrate chuckled and turned his head
to conceal a sardonic smile. "My ancient and
venerable friend, he said, "if you think that
your department of the rebellion endangered the
Union cause as much as it did that ofthe rebels,
