MERRY CHRTSTMAS.

The annual return of the Christmas sea-
son brings the best gifts of friendship and
charity, opening the heart to deeds of be-
nevolence and kindness, driving care
away, establishing happiness in the home,
joy among the youth, and wreathing our
churches with the emblems of Immortality.
Commemorative of the birth of Him whose
mission was to teach peace, good will,
charity, brotherly love and kindness among
men. and point the way to Heaven, il
should awaken the best emotions of which
human nature is capable. Fortunately W,
have country ut peace with all the world
capable of enjoying to the fullest extent
the blessings of the season. We fear that
Christmas in Europe will lack some of its
usual gayety, but let US hope that its iestiv-
ties and lesson of peace may aid to turn
the nations from war. To old and young
we wish merry Christmas rich in
tokens of friendship and love, and
bountiiul in whatever improves the heart
and draws man more closely to his brother
man.

WHAT IS THOUGHT OE SPEAKER
BLAINE IN THE VEST.

The Chicago Republican which under its
new management has shown itself shrewdly
intelligent exponent of public opinion in the
West, says:
SIT is little too early in the season to dis
cuss the question of the next Speakership of
the National House of Representatives but a
number Of our contemporaries are doing so.
1t seems to us like very needless worry.
The present Speaker, Mr.. james G. Blaine,
is in every respect worthy of the position, and
will no doubt be reelected as often as he is a
candidate for it. 1t is not easy to find man
who is at all fit for the Speakership; it is ex-
ceedingly difficult to find one so well fitted
for it as Mr.. Blaine. 1t is sheer nonense to
talk of electing Revenue Reform" Speak
err, as the Tribune, Of this city, the Democrat
of St. Louis, and other one-idea journal,
have talked. They can't tell the meaning
of their own pet phrase; and the public
lie are rapidly coming to the conclusion thai
1t means nothing but the egotsm of few
empty headed babblers over free feed Mr.
Blaine is Revenue Reformer enough for us
He is honest, conscientious, able, and i'm.
partial. AS lie was the successor of Mr.
Colfax to the Speakership Of the House, SC
we hope he will be his successor to the Presi-
dency of the Senate"

NATIONAL ASYLUMS.

The Managers of the National Asylums for
disabled soldiers held session at Washing
ton on the 10th, from which the following
facts appear:
The whole number of soldiers supported
during the past year was 4194-an increase OF
400 over last year. There were l42 deaths
more than half of which were from con-
sumption; and SOL were honorably discharged
with recovered health and in circumstances
to earn their own living. OF the whole POI
are supported at the Central Asylum, Dayton,
Ohio: 7l9 at the Eastern branch, Augusta
Me-; 79S at the Western branch, Milwaukee,
Wis; 45l at Philadelphia, and l25 by out
door relief.
All the labor and service at the asylum is
done by the inmates. Last year 663 paid, in
sums varying from IS to $25 per month, the
sum of 5000. A workshop is established at
each asylum, and last year realized $4,000,
while the farms and gardens realized S29, 900
more. Each asy lum has library and reading
room, and there were taken out and read last
year 24,56S volumes. They receive, besides
some 60 daily newspapers, over 200 week lies
and 120 periodicals. They have also schools
at each asylum, at which many disabled SOL
diers are prepared as school teachers, book
keepers, clerks and telegraph operators, to
earn living for themselves. About 400 at
tended the schools last year. There are
anus ement halls, with ten-pin alleys, billiards,
bagatelle, &C.. and concert halls, where mu-
steal and dramatic entertainments are fire.
quently given, and give ample amusement to
the inmates. There are also chapels, with
regular religious exercises, at each asylum,
and Christian associations, Bible classes,
Sunday schools and temperance societies, &c.
These influences have worked mar ed
change in the Conduct and morals of the men,
so that discipline has become easy and rules
almost unnecessary. The average rations
per day during the year has been only 20 l-3
cents per day, while the average total cost OF
maintaining each man, including all expenses
OF every kind, was only 1854 per annum-
less, it is believed, than any similar institution
in the United States.
The managers will hold their next meeting
in March.

STEAMBOAT RACING.

There is so much danger attending
steamboat racing that no prudent captain
should ever think of testing the swiftness
of his craft, by permitting her to enter upon
trial of speed with rival boats. 1t may
be, to some, beautiful sight to see two
majestic steamers, such as are to be found
on the Mississippi, blowing their way up
its broad and turgid waters, with stream
ers flying, and amid the cheers of crews
and passengers, and the kissing of steam,
and the fierce burning fires, striving, like
race horses under the goadings of whip
and spur for the mastery in speeds
Admitting this is beautiful and excit-
ing scene, the qualification of beholding
it will not compensate for the great danger
to life and limb that must necessarily at
tend the reprehensible practice of steam
boat racing. Many have been the fatal
consequences Of such rivalry in the past

Of any at tAls tilas to ske~ Up the danger
that must necessarily attend these use
less .efhibitions sof what steamboats,
can be made to do in the way
Of speed. Every intelligent steam
boatman knows this better than we can
tell him, and, therefore, is the more
responsible for acts that jeopardise the
safety Of travellers. A prudent man will
not encourage anything Of the kind in the
remotest way, for he knows there is use
less danger to be encountered for no good
and profitable purpose. The mere fact
that one boat reached 2 given point few
minutes before her rival in matter of.
speed will not begin to compensate for the
loss Of safety to passengers and crew that
must be endured in all trials Of the kind.
We have been led to these reflections at
this time in consequence of the excite
ment created among our people by the
trial of speed between those palatial
steamers, the Lee and Matches. The SUBJ
ject seemed to be one Of gsneral interest,
and most people anxious to have the race
come Of evidently regarding it as they
would horse race, where they might win
or loose q few dollars. But to the reflect
ing mind the public have much greater
stake in this matter than few dollars and
cents. There is life at stake, and
this should lead men to think before
entering upon sports that are too frivo-
lous 10 incur even the prospect of fatal
consequences. We have no idea that the
gentlemen who command the boats in
question are going to take any such risk
and responsibility upon themselves as the
racing of their boats would involve; and,
therefore, do not credit the report that
there is to be trial of speed entered into
that will test the strength and power Of
their respective boilers and engines. But
the fact that spirit of rivalry as to speed
has been engendered would seem to imply
that q question has been raised that can
not be finally settled without testing the
power Of the engines, and the strength of
boilers. Therefore, if their commanders
are prudent men, the matter Of superiority
of speed viii not be determined.
