WARRINGTON, December 29.-The impress
sion now is TILT Attorney General Williams
will be confirmed as Chief-Justice when the
Senate reassembles next week. The firm de-
termination of the President not to with
draw his nomination, it Is said, proves a
wcighty reason with members of the Senate
vino, though at first averse to voting for con-
firming this appointment, are yet unwilling
to be persistent in opposing the will Of the
President.
The legal-tender reserves have now been
drawn on to the extent Of over twenty-one
and half millions, and in the present con-
dition of affairs it is impossible to fix any
time when the minimum standard of three
hundred and fifty.six millions will be shown
again in the debt statement. TIAoE.

A Genealogical Puzzle.

An exchange says: The following
puzzle was sent us to be worked out at
our leisure, and after trying it several
times, we publish it, with the request,
if any of our readers solve it, they send
us written statement of how it is done,
for publication:
A wedding there was and dance there must
be,
And who should be first? Thus all did agree
First, grandsire and grandame should step the
same ground.
Two daughters stood up, and danced with their
sires,
(The room was SO warm they wanted no flres) /;
And also two sons, who danced with their
mothers.
Two sisters there were, and danced with their
brothers;
Two Uncles vouchsafed with nieces to dance,
With nephews to Jig it pleased two aunts,
Three husbands would dance with nohe but
their wIves,-
(As bent so to do for the rest Of their lives.)
The granddaughter chose the jolly grandson !;
And BRIDE would dance with bridegroom
or none.
A company choice! Their number to fix,
/ told them over, and found them but six!

There is as much connection between
the words and the thoughts as there is
between the thoughts and the actions.
The latter is only the expression of the
former, but they have a power to react
upon the soul and leave the stain of
corruption there. A young man who
allows himself to use one vulgar or
profane word, has only shown that
there is foul spot upon his mind, but
by the appearance of that one word he
extends that spot and inflames it, till
by indulgence, it will pollute and ruin
the soul. Be careful of your words as
OF your thoughts. If you can control
the tongue that no improper words are
pronounced by it, you will soon be able
to control the mind, and save it from
corruption. You extinguish the fire by
smothering it or by preventing bad
thoughts bursting into language. Never
utter word anywhere which You are
ashamed to speak in the presence of the
most refined female or the most religi-
GUS man.

Read Your Policy.

No sounder advice than the above
can be given to those about to obtain or
already in possession of policy of in
surance upon their property. 1t is a
singular fact that so many men enter
into contracts with insurance compan-
les without understanding the terms
beyond the fact that they pay certain
sum for a stated amount of insurance.
Not more than one man in ten ever
reads his policy, especially the condi-
tions under which it is issued, and
when loss occurs he is astonished to
discover points therein that reduce or
invalidate his claim. Thereafter Gall is
vanity to him; the company is blood
sucker, and all insurance is fraud. 1t
is probable that three-fourths of the
suits instituted in the settlement OF
losses arise from the ignorance or care
lessness of insured, and not from any
fault of the insurance companies.
This ignorance is entirely wrong and
unnecessary. The policy is the con-
tract and in it the terms and conditions
are plainly set forth; it is all simple
and easily understood, and no reputable
company will attempt to evade their
own provisions. A few minutes spent
in reading the policy would show a
man exactly what he receives for his
money; doubtful points could be set
tied much easier than after his property
is destroyed and an astonishing amount
of trouble, perplexity and litigation
would be avoided. knowledge will
prove to be power to those who follow
our advice to "Read your policy. ."-Er

ANONYMOUS Letters.

If there Is any one thing that is mean
and despicable it is the act of sending
anonymous letters. The man who cali
not come out, boldly and sign his name
to the communication which he writes
to his enemy or even friend, is not
worthy of the name OF man. He is
guilty of stabbing his opponent behind
his back, not giving him chance to
strike back. But above all meanness is
that of would be gentleman writing
scurrillous letters to young ladies of an-
impeachable character. These gentle
men ( y should bear in mind that there
is law that carries with it a heavy
punishment for this offense. And par
ties should remember that their secret
cannot always be kept. That they are
often known when they least suspect it.
To all such our advice would be to go
slow, as developments might be unex-
pectedly made, that would not be Of a
pleasant nature. We refer all such to
the Statutes of the State, and simply
say, beware.

Parents.

Do you know where your boys are
these nights? 1t is not the time now
to be inquiring about the whereabouts
Of your neighbours children, unless you
KNOW where your own are after night
fall. If you do not know, we are GER
tain many fond mother would be sur
prised to learn the company some of
their children are keeping these De-
cember evenings. Home is the place at
night for boys and girls in their teens
and under, with the influences that are
now working Turing them on to dis
grace, if not to utter destruction. We
appeal to parents who read the REPUB-
LICAN, for their children's sake and
their own sakes, to look well where
their offspring are at night. As sure
as there is heaven above, if parents
remain Indifferent 20 the nightly course
of the rising generation of their own
families, they need look for nothing
ultimately but modification and heart
breaking agony over their lost ant
ruined ones, who are now permitted to
leave and return to the family firesid'
at their own choosing.

The Cold Snap.

The weather for the last few days ha:
been unusually severe, interfering with
business in many ways. The railroads
have been obstructed with snow and
ice, and the passenger trains and the
mails hindered accordingly. Locomc-
ton on the slippery sidewalks has been
somewhat difficult, and many a person
"Went down on their back
With jerk and whack."
Although the mercury in this vicinity
sank to eighteen degrees below zero,
We could not keep pace with some of
the western cities. At St. Paul and
Minneapolis the thermometer indicated
thirty degrees below zero, and at Mil
waukee it was twenty degrees below in
the middle Of the day, numbers of peo-
pie having their ears and feet frozen.
At Fort Garry the Thermometer stood
way down at forty-two degrees. In
the East violent snow storm was in
progress in Maine, and the Hudson Riv-
er was frozen over at Poughkeepsie. In
two men were frozen to death
in attempting to leave a disabled loco
motive for house mile distant.
