A Printers Holiday.

In Difference to formal request from the
employees of The News, our Office will be
closed on Monday next, and no paper will be
issued on Tuesday. It has not been the
custom of this paper, as the public knows,
to indulge in what are called ''printer's holi-
days." but in this instance We have felt con-
strained to make Merry Christmas an en-
ception to our rule.

Remember the Poor.

The season Of gladness is upon US. In
happy homes to-day begins the rosy reign
OF mirlh and Jollily and innocent rejoicing.
The Christmas tree is already blossomlng
in some hidden recess with its wondrous,
but as yet, forbidden fruit The blithe and
expectant little ones are making ready 10
hang their stockings by the chimney-plece,
with grave misgivinys as to their capacity to
hold the good things to be distributed IN The
nighttime by the slyiy- generous Santa Claus.
Families are everywhere gleeful with the an
ticipalion Of merry gatherings around lle
plentcous board and festive libations from
the fuaming bowl. Bleak and wintry though
the sky he out OF doors, around the hearth
stone joy and comfort and social happiness
rule the hour.
But not to all homes will Christmas bring
the appropriate mcrry-makiugs and delights.
Right here, in this good old City Of Charles
ton, there is many a family whose desolate
hearth glows not, even in this bitter wealth
er, with the ruddy blaze Of the yule log, or
of any substitute, and TO whom one plain
hearty meal would be q Christmas feast in
deed. To these uufortunates, too many OF
whom have known better days, let each man,
woman and child, who reads these lines at
the breakfast table this Christmas Eve, give
something better than mere sympathy

slight verbal alteration that seemed to have
arisen between stout, swarthy darkey and

From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald. Dee. 10.
A Remarkable Case Of circumstantial
EYidence.

The Circuit Court of Nodoway county,
has been in session during the past week,
Judge /. G. Parker presiding. Most of
the time was occupied in the trial of Sol.
ONION McAlpine for the murder of John
Callicott, developing a most singular case
OF circumstantial evidence. In August,
1866, these two young men left Hollyville,
Iowa, to come to st. Joseph to buy apples,
expecting to load their wagon here and
return to Iowa to sell their fruit. Not long
atter-some few days, we believe-McAl-
pine returned to Hollyville told some
plausible story about his partner having
made other arrangements, and gone to st.
Joseph, and for some time no further no.
tlce was taken of the matter. The contin-
ued absence of Callicott, and the fact that
nothing was heard from him, finally in
duced the arrest of McAlpine, but on his
examination nothing was elected crimina-
ting him and he was discharged. A long
search for Callicott proved unayailine, and
for eighteen months q profound mystery
enveloped the case.
In March, 1868, party of railroad en-.
glneers surveying the route of the Missouri
valley railroad, some six miles northeast of
MaryYllle, found the skeleton of man.
An investigation aroused the suspicion that
IL was the remains of Callicott. The au-
thorltes in Iowa were written to, and wit
nesses were brought down. The mother of
Callicott recognized bony protuberance
on the chin of the skeleton; also, the alb
sence of tooth drawn on the day he star.
ted on his fatal trip, and his mother pre-
served the tooth. 1t fitted the jaw of the
skeleton, and dentist testified it had been
drawn from the orifce. Pieces of blue
coat and several peculiar buttons were
found near the skeleton. These were re-
cognlzed as resembling part of Callicott's
dress when he left home. There were
three bullet holes in the skull.
The identification was so complete that
McAlplne was arrested and, after several
contlnuances, the case came to trial last
Monday. The Judge instructed the iury
that any facts or want Of proof mitigating
the crime from murder in the first degree
need not restrain their rendering u verdict
IN the second degree, or manslaughter.-
The jury, after due elaboration, brought
IN verdict of murder in the second de.
gree. We learn that neither the prisoner,
nor his friends or attorneys manifest any
dissatisfaction with the verdict and the case
will not be appealed.

often been mentioned to the quiet and seren,
companion, who sits at this moment busy
with her knitting on the opposite side the

me to be old enough for second childhood,

one long struggle with the world, and at

all the while with golden promises that

marked one of the company.
'Patient as a Observation-Disclosures as a

one who had spoken of his patience and
endurance.

heirs have an interest in the administration
Of his affairs. A large property has been

lose precious things through false estimates
and ignorant depreciation"
"1ou have new way of estimating the
wealth of d man," said the one who had
first expressed sympathy for the deceased.

"There are higher things to gain in this
world than wealth that perishes. Riches
ofprincely value ever reward the true mer-
chant, who trades for wisdom, buying it
with the silver of truth and the gold of
love. He dies rich who can take his treas
ure with him to the new land where he is
to abide forever, and he who has to leave all
behind on which he placed his affections,

THE NEXT CENsUs.-The next census,
which will be taken June next, will
be the ninth since the adoption Of the
Constitution in 1887. The population of
the Union viii probably amount to 40, 000,-
600, despite the ravages of the late war.
We shall thus in numbers be superior to
Great Britain, our parent country Austria
and Prussia, and about equal to France.
We shall be inferior only to Russia, which
has population of seventy or eighty mil
lions. 1t is singular fact that the United
States, Russia and Prussia. three of the
greatest nations in the world were un-
known in 700-169 years ago.

STRENGTH OF SPIDERS SILK.-It may
surprise some of our readers to learn that
while a bar of iron, one inch in diameter,
will sustain twenty-eight tons, and bar
of steel of the same size, will sustain fifty
tons, a bar of spiders silk of the same di-
mansions will sustain seventy -four tons.
This is based upon a calculation that fl
bre of silk one four thousandth of an inch
in diameter, will sustain fifty-four grains.
