The Spanish-Cuban Press on the Prcsi-
dent's McSsage.

HAVANA, dec. ID.
The Diari0 of to-day comments ON the
Presidents message. 1t says the person
who telegraphed that the President eX-
pressed himself moderately in that part Of
the message having reference TO Spain,
told an untruth. Certainly the President
expresses the moderation Of satisfied van
ity, and an aim accomplished in treating Of
the Nirginius affair." but the paragraph
about Cuba deserves the qualification of
"infamous libel, given to it by Ell Cronis-
Ia. The paragraph is recapitulation of
the insults, calumnies. and vulgarites
which have been published everywhere
against the loyalists here, and which are
now for the first time published in an off
cial document which ought to distinguish
itself by correctness, style, and elevation
of ideas The President handles the Ques-
ton Of the interior rule Of Spain, the pro-
gress and solution of which belong eXclu-
siyely to the constitutional powers within
the Spanish nation. lie assumes a species
of protectorate or guardianship which
would make even thesweak and pusillani-
nous blush-which we repulse, preferrng
death to dishonor thousand times We

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.
The executive departments will, next
week, begin the revision Of the estimates
with the object Of reducing the public ex-
penditures.
1t is believed that the estimates for pub
lie buildings can be reduced three or four
millions. Work on the buildings in New
York now in process of erection will prob
ably be continued as cessation would be
injurious and will require an appropriation
of about one million dollars.
There will probably be small reduction
in the estimates connected with Indian
affairs

AgaSsiz and Boston Public Schools

CIEAvEGAND, Dec. 81.
The Leader yesterday published letter
written by Professor Agassiz shortly be-
fore his death, positively denying the state
ment, so often paraded by the Catholics,
as an argument against the public school
system, to the effect that Professor Agassiz
had investigated house of PROSTITUTION in
Boston and found that a large majority Of
the inmates were natives of that city, and
attributed their own downfall to the I'M
pure influences to which they had been
subiec, while pupils of the Boston public
schools. The letter says
The item regarding the causes Of the

posed did | not shrink from discussion

CHESTER KINGSLEY.

a merry Christmas is made merry by
Il gathering of the family and friends in
joyous reunion-one of the good old con-
vacations OF father and mother, sons and
daughters, wives and sweethearts, cousins.
unclcs and aunts, in one grand gathering.
This is fast becoming the custom. As
Thanksgiving Day has always been observ-
ed, so now Christmas is being made an an
niversary for good cheer and mcrry-mak-
ing. The West, we believe, first took up
the idea, and old New England is follow
ing. One of the first ceremonies attendant
upon the day, which is the most enjoyed,
and for which the greatest preparations are
made, is the Christmas dinner. This brings
into requistion every art and taste of the
cpicure and caterer, the housewives talents
in the art of cookery, and the best things
the good things of this life in lavish
style. Chief among the special attrac
tions is the goose. This is always con-
sidered necessary on Christmas. As tur-
key and chickens are provided for Thanks
giving. Rutland people, in the observance
of Christmas will find it necessary to visit
the famous dispenser of provisions and deli
cacies, Mr. Chester Kingsley, at the sold
Red Store This institution is an old-time
and fayorte one with this vicinity, the old
est in town of the kind and one of the larg-
est and best. Here is to be found every
thing in season and in great variety. Gro
ceries and provisions enough to fill the TIA
bles and supply the pantrics of every house
keeper Everything of the best and most
to be desired. Orders supplied at short
notice by the cnterprising proprietor who
will take every pains to please all who call
upon him. Rutlanders know his many adj
vantages in this line and comment upon
them seems almost unnecessary. All that
is necessary for those who intend obsery-
ing Christmas is to call at Kingsley's, Sc
lect your goods and you will be satisfied.
