UsINd THE SAME TowEL.-Healtn fol-
lows nestness, and disease the departure
from it. The use Of tho same towel by
many, common in public place, though
more allowable than the use OF the same
toothbrush, is nevertheless, q not much
healthier practice.
A prominent oculist says that the con
tagious Egyptian or granular inaamma
tion Of the eyes is spreading rapidly
throughout the country, and adds, "a
have in many, and may say in the ma
iority OF cases, been able to trace the
disease to the use Of the so-cslled rolling
towels. Such towels are generally found
in our country hotels and the sleeping
apartments Of the working classes, and
being thus used by nearly every one, are
made the carriers OF one OF the most dan
serous, and as regards its symptoms, mOsl
troublesome diseases OF the eye. there
lore would strongly recommend that the
use of the rolliDg.towl be abolished, fol
thereby we will discard one Of the great
instruments for the spread Of such dan
gerous disease Of the eye, by which thou
sands OF workingmen arc annually de-
prived ol their means OF support"

Christmas has always been at once q
religious, domestic, and merry making
festival in England, equally for every rank
and every age. The revels used to begin
on Christmas eve and continued often
till Candlemas. In the houses OF the no.
bles the larder was filled with capons,
hares, hens, turkeys, geese, duckq, beef,
mutton, pork, pies, puddings, sc. The
tenants were entertained at the hall and
the lord Of the manor and his family en-.
couraged every art conducive to mirth.
"on Christmas eve the bells were rupg,
On Chrlstmay tve the mass was sung;
Twas CbristmAs broached the mightiest ale;
Twas Christmas told the merrlesttale
A Christmas Rambol oft would cheer
A poor mans heart through half the year"
A glowing FIRE, made Of great logs, the
principal Of which was termed the yule
log, or Christmas block, kept out the Sc
verify Of the weather, and the general
abundance was shared amid music, con-
juring, rlddlea,hot cookies, jokes, laughter,
repartees, dances, SC. The generous
wssssil bowl and bowls Of punch never
failed to bring tumultuouG joys.
The common custom Of decking the
houses and churches at Christmas with
evergreens Is derived from ancient druid
practices. 1t was an old belief that cyl
van spirits might flock 10 the evergreenS
and remain unnipped by frost until mild.
er season. The holly, ivy, rosemary, bays,
laurel, and mistletoe furnished the favor.
lie trimmings which were not removed
until Csndlemss. Holly and ivy still re-
main in England the most esteemed
Christmas evergreens.
In this country the day is celebrated
differently, in many respects, from any
other part OF the world, but more after
the English custom. It is a day Of festiv'
ity commencing with Christmas eve. It
is day for making presents in families,
day Of good cheer among friends, and a
day Of general suspension from business,
but not day TO which any special sig.
nificanCe attaches as q religious festival.
The age in which we live is too much
imbued with what JOHN STUART MILL
calls practical incredulity" to induce it
to observe Christmas in any other way
than as holiday, and therefore VIC need
not be surprised to hear noise and confu-
sion In the streets above the chant Of
choirs and organs in the churches, Young
America claims this day in this country,
as he does all other holidays, as his own,
and regards 1t simply as an occasion Of
unusual latitude in the way Of deafening
explosions. As o late writer says in LIP.
pincott's Magazine, "he loses sight Of re.
ligion, politics, society, and even civil
izltion, and everything else except noise.
The central idea of On American holiday
is now simply noise"

The New Finance Bill.

The last session Of Congress spent six
or seven months in vain endeavor 10
frame a finance bill having for its object
the resumption Of specie payments. Par.
ties were about equally divided on the
question oil contraction or initiation. A
return to their constituents seems 10 have
convinced the Republican Senators, at
least, that there should be no great DIFF
ticulty in agreeing on q finance policy,
and as result we have the introduction
and passage oi bill by the Senate this
week, in less number OF days than
months were occupied last session in dis
cussion without any practical result.
The Senate on Tuesday took up the
bill reported by Mr.. SHERMAN from the
Finance Committee, ITO provide for the
resumption Of specie payments" and
passed it after a brief debate, which only
served to show Democratic opposition tc
any measure Of practical legislation, Sen
ator SHERMAN gave clear explanation
of the bill, which we annex, as It will aid
our readers 10 better understanding ol
1t. he said:
The first section, providing for the re-
demption OF fractional currency with coin
met with the approval OF both the Sec
retary OF the Treasury and the President
The second section, which repealed the
law making q charge Of one'fltth Of one
per cent for converting standard gold
bullion into coin, required sacrifice on
the part Of the Government 10 the extent
of $S5,000 per annum, that being the
amount levied last year upon those who
brought gold bullion to be made into coin.
The third section provided for free bank.
ing. Under the present law banking
is virtually free in some OF the western
and southern States, but in great com.
mercial centers Of the country it was not
free. This free banking section, therefore,
provided for the enlargement Of the vol.
ume Of currency In case the business Of
the country demanded 1t. It also proposed
TO redeem United States notes 10 the ex.
tent Of eighty per cent Of the amount oil
new bank notes issued. The section did
not propose either contraction or eXpan-
sion OF currency, leaving 1t to be governed
by the business wants oil the community.
The bill also provided ample means 10
maintain and provide for specie resump-
tion, and no Senator could doubt that II
the bill became q law specie payments
would be resumed on the lst Of January,
1870.
Senator schuEz objected to the bill be-
cause 1t did not provide for the destruc-
ton Of the eighty per cent Of legal tenders
redeemed, but left it discretionary with
the Secretary Of the Treasury to reissue
them. Still he would vote Tor the bill
because It contained a pledge to return to
specie payments.
The Democratic Senators had the de-
bate to themselves, the Republicans
voting down all motions to amend. Sen
ator Thurman led in opposition, declar-
ing that "tinkering bills" would do moth
in for tho business Of the country, nothing
but time, honesty, economy and retrench'
ment would bring back prosperity.
History, he ayerred, showed that the
business Of the country never revived at
a less period than four years after . panic.
he desired to amend the bill 80 that part
