SILK CHEAP AGAIN.-It will be pleasing
news to lady readers, whether wishing to
invest for themselves or not, that silk is
now cheaper than it ever has been in this
country. There is no need to look back
longingly to the times before the war,
when every cook might have Sunday silk,
if she had good wages, and ladies might
reconcile their consciences and tastes alike
by saying that silk really Was the cheapest
wear, for those good times are here again,
and people hardly aware of 1t. Back
silks are cheap enough in all conscience,
but there are no bargains worth taking
home below the gold star brand, known BY
its yellow selvedge, which is Sl.15 the
yard. This is as low as pure silk OF
good finish can be sold in this country, and
| | suspect it must be the result of that
clever intervention by which all the brok-
en- cocoons and ends of silk can be spun
and woven up like SO much cotton. All
the better for wearers of silk, for the fab
rc is as good as that made from entire
cocoons, and about % per cent cheaper.
There are three grades of this silk that
selling formerly at $3.50 now Sl,15; No.
2, formerly at S2,75, now 200; and that
at $3.50 now $3.50. The handsomest
fancy silks displayed, this season, have
watered stripes three inches wide, and are
used for trimmings as well as for entire
dresses. They show two shades Of color,
slate, myrtle, and other dark stylish cOlors.
For evening dresses are alt rnate stripes
of satin and MORE in pale crosse, blue and
pearl. Prices range from s3.oU to 50 ~
yard.

Christmas.

Ii comes but once year, and is all the
more welcome for the infrequency of its WIS.,
its. With all our respect for the old New
England ways we can but be glad most heart
lily that the Puritanical non-observance of
Christmas has gone among the things that
were. For the children especially is this
change to be rejoiced in. Whether they sus
pect Santa Claus TO be only mask or wheth
er they have faith that the venerable old fell
low himself comes rafting down the chin
neys in the frosty night, taking care that be
rattle never SO loudly as to awaken the good
boys and girls he comes to bless, it is pecu
liarly the children's time. Ii is the one fes-
ti7al that commentaries the coming OF the
one child, who grown to divine manhood
wanted little children to come TO hin. That
we entertain angels upawares is no strange
thing remembering of whom Christ said 90 of
such is the kingdom"
Being the childrens festival peculiarly it
is still the best Of all that come to to those
of maturer years. Its religious associations
are the most joyful of any in all the year
and from their joyous nature grew in time
in many countries the curious customs that
cluster about the day. Christmas in Ger
many and in England seems to have had its
greatest honors. The common people in both
countries, in eqsal measure with the rich
wait its coming with high expectation and
holm Hl oil lis Wi nj
Perhaps the Germans have rather more OF
che poetic In their traditions than had our
English ancestors, but even with the latter
"gOOd old Christmas :" not alone I" brought
good cheer y but many quaint legends and
shadowy beliefs that awakened the magma
ton and softened the heart.
Some say that ever 'ganst tina. season,
Wherein our Sayiour's birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawnng sngeth all night long;
And then, they say, spirit dares stir abroad; ;
The nights are wholesome-then no planets strike
No fairy takes, no witch hath power to charm,
So hallow'd and SO gracious is the time.
Who has not sort of affection for the old
superstition that all the cattle kneel in their
stalls at midnight Oh Christmas eve? Bet
ter that beasts should pray than that mar
should not, as some of our modern teachers
have it.
But while we talk of Christmas, it is here,
and young aud Old rejoice. St. Nicholas has
his RENDERS all harnessed, and at the first
shadow of evening will be busy in his work
happy in giving. Perhaps some of the brigh
eyed boys or girls may this time do wha
none have ever before done, catch glimpse
of the beneicent saint as he whisks into o.
out of the top of some open mouthed chin
ney. In the swiftne5s of his flight and in
the moonlight he might be mistaken for g
puff of smoke. But if not caught at hi.
tricks he had best be looked for among the
crowd that gathers to wonder at what ht
has brought, for the happy old fellow, lovin.
TO see what pleasure he has given, often as
sumes the shape of a generous father or
loving mother, And in that shape, eve
more than IN his own proper person, does b
deserve thousand blessings on his head.

TIE NORTH HoosIc OUTRAGE CAsE.-The
case of Charles o. Green, who was arrested
a. principal in the death of the outraged
woman, Ann Shay, and brought to Jail, has
ended in a very simple manner. The Coro-
ner's jury decided that the woman died of
exhaustion and exposure and not from vio-
lence by Green. Green was arraigned on
Friday afternoon, charged with assault with
intent to outrage Ann Shay near the
State line, pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to Clinton Prison for the term of three
years. And thus ends what promised to be
a hanging scrape.
James Mem Shafter, defeated candidate
for United States Senator in California, is a
native Of Wilmington in Windham county
and Was formerly Secretary of State of YER
mont. He went from Vermont to Wisconsin
and was there in 1852 WING candidate for
Congress.
The famous :. pigtail ordinance " and ev-
cry other legal enactment designed to exclude
the Chinese from California having thus far
failed, a movement is now on foot to secure
the repeal or modification of the Burlin-
game treaty The project has received the
sanction of leading men, while anti-Chinese
societies have been formed by the best people
in various parts of the state, and the Young
Mems OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES is lending hand.
There is, of course, some provocation for
such movement in the atrocities connected
with the coolie trade and the traffic in wo-
men; but the chief source of the anti Chinese
feeling is the silly fear of cheap labor, and
the prejudice of race, which dies slowly in

laws tests upon private citizens Of the state
equally with the officers. as Stewart lnti-
mates, we will try to do our duty faithfully
in accordance with our understanding.
The questions asked by our correspondent
would best be answered by lawyers. Ano
lawyers as we'll as doctors sometimes dis
agree. Our correspondent must know that
the EDITORS opinion would be only that OF q
brother " layman. The statute does not
read exactly as stated, though being found
and being seen very likely amount to about
the same thing. The forty-second section
not only provides the penalty for neglect or
refusal to perform official duty. but states
that &" such officer so neglectiug or refusing
shall be subject to Indictment or information
by the grand jury or states attorney y etc.
We suppose it is for the grand jury or state
attorney, on being informed of the facts, to
determine whether they are sufficient to war
rant an indictment or information. And we
believe our Waterbury friends have very
live states attorney " handy by"
