in fixing this period as the proper one,
perhaps the most powerful was. that

rarled the W~inter-solstice rs a most
important point Of the year, as the be-
ginning ofthe renewed life and activity
of the powers of nature, and Of the
gods. who were originally merely the
svmbolical presentations of these.
In more northerly countries, this fact
must have made itself peculiarly palpa-

from the oldest times, celebrated the
season with the greatest festivities. In
the greenery with which we still
deck our houses and temples of wor-

relic of the symbols by which
heather forefathers si-nified their
filth in the power of the returning sun
to clothe the earth again with green.
and hang new fruits on the trees.
There is one thing. however, which is
pretty well authenticated by history,
and that is, that there was such a per-
son as Jesus Christ, and that he was
born in a manger at Bethlehem, in
.Judea, in the neighborhood of 1874
years ago to-day, the exact date being
a matter Of small importance. Be the

A correspondent writing from Hills
borough, Ohio, to Cincinnati newspaper,
tells what he has done to exterminate po-
tato bugs. First, with no good result, he
sprinkled upon the vines lime, ashes, plas-
ter of Paris, and sulphur. The bugs were
next treated with turpentine, benzine,
spirits of hartshOrn, and alcohol, but these
fluids only seemed to add to their enjoy
ment of life. Gum camphor and asafoUida
were then resorted to. Still the insects
of chloroform, and of sulphuric, muliatic,
acetic, nitric. nitro muriatic, and chemi-
calIy pure nitric acid. These did not in
the least affect their appetites. Then Paris
green was tried, and this was found rather
too effective, as it killed both the bugs and
the vines themselves. 1t is now proposed
to try calomel, which it is thought will
loosen the teeth of the insects.

A Doc STORY.-We ednesday last was "a
good day for the Iace''-the canine race Is
referred to-as the following true tale OF
Minnesota dog, related by a reliable eye
witness, shall prove. On that day, as one
of the trains Oh the Lake Superior and
Mississippi Railroad stopped at Centreyilie,
a few miles beyond White Bear Lake a
lady took seat III one Of the passenger
coaches, and the train started. When 1t
stopped at White Bear station, dog of
me dunn size, and with rather shaggy
coat came alongside upon the platform,
and was noticed to be very warm and
painting heavily Again, few miles fur
ther on, n halt was made to take water,
and Conductor Bond called the attention
of some of the passengers to the fact thai
the dog had followed them from White
Bear Lake, as he supposed. The train
was going off, and shortly doggy was seen
close behind. Passengers became inter
/ ested, and crowded to the rear of the car
J to watch the race. Occasionally, at some
pool beside the track, doggy would dash
/ down, take a few drops of the cooling fluid,
/ varying this sometimes with a bath, and
/ then with sharp yelp or two, as if in pain
at the idea of being held behind, dash
on. In this way an even race was main
! tanned until a down grade was reached,
/ when the train made long swift dash to
/ gain impetus for a rising grade beyond.
J Doggy now fell behind he tried hard but
| it was too much for him ; his little body
was, however, just full of pluck and per-
/ severance, and to the delight of the pas
sengers, whose sympathy was fully aroused
! for the canine hero, when the up grade
was reached, doggy made good his loss
and caught up with the train. Conductor
Bond said that he would stop and take up
/ the weary runner, now showing signs of
/ exhaustion, but there was no one to take
! care of him or to deliver him to at the
journeys end. By this time a lady pas
| senger from Ceutreville became interested
to know what it was which so excited the
passengers, and as she saw the little racer,
she Immediately recognized him as the pet
of the friends with whom she had been Wis
iting at Centreville. He had follow ed her to
the depot, and gallantly attended her on
foot on her journey until within about four
miles of St Paul. Conductor Bond seized
the bell rope, the train was quickly stop
ped, and doggy was taken on board, where
he was given tirst-ciass quarters and free
ride, which he had amply earned by fair,
ly running fourteen-mile race with pas
senger train making its usual time. 1t is
needless to add that doggy was as deligh,,
ed as his weary little body would allow t
regain sight of the friend he had followed
and that he was the hero of the hour Will
all on board the train.-S. Paul Press

The Nation gives the following defini-

together as an organization solely by the
possession of the Government office. This
makes it a real business concern, with ac-
counts to keep, earnings to make, divi-
dends to distribute and claims to adjust.
1t consequently does not need opinions,
and, to do it justice, makes no pretence of
having any. Indeed there is no body of

ONE of the most Objectionable tea-
t,,res Of Grants administration has
baon the practice of his Cabinet officers
raIinouishing their duties at Washing
ton during a Presidential election, or
sometimes when only an exciting State
campaign is progressing, and appearing
before the people in the character Of
stump orators. If our memory serves
us right, this custom, like many other
peculiar innovations, dates no further
back than the advent of Grantism, ana
it is to be hoped, when the present eAc :
ecutive is relieved from the cares ol
State, that new order of things III thiS
regard will be introduced. a mem Der

the Ohio Constitutional Convention,

THR project recently started of call
ing convention of Irishmcn at Clevc-
land, to organize political party and
otherwise advance their interests, has
not met with much encouragement.
Nor should it. We regard all such
movements on the part of our natur-
allied citizens, as i'll timed and injudi-
cious. The originatOrs of them are
usually the most blatant demagogues,
who are actuated by chronic love of
notoriety, and whose sole object is the
advancement Of their own personal in
terests. The following remarks on
this subject by the New York Herald
will commend themselves to all adopted
citizens for the strong common sense
and the wholesome advice which they
| contain:
'The lesson cannot too often be repeated
to the adopted citizen, that with his re-
| corded oath of Allegiance 20 the United
| States he is no longer an Irishman, Ger
man, a FrenChman, or man of any other
! nationality than that of the United States
that this country is his country that on!
people are his people, and that lie does not
| fully meet the obligations of his allegiance
III becoming party to an Irish organiZa-
ton, or a German, French, or any other
alien organization, as balance of power
in the political affairs OF this country, ma
| tional, State or municipal. The social ties
recreatiUns and festivals, and the religion:
! faith and observances which are dear To the
| adopted citizen, with the memories Of lii
! native land, we do not ask him to reHnquish
, We rather respect him for his fidelity il
these matters. He is, indeed, free bee t,
enter into any political organization, unde
any flag or declaration Of principles, from
those of an absolute despOtism to the plat
form Of the Paris Commune, and yet as
follower of the Prince of Orange or of ST
Patrick, he has morally n right, especial,
rs a citizen Of this country, to transfer hi
Old Country quarrels, political or religious
| to our Shores
