Musk.

If you are going to travel, by sea or
by land, scent yourself with musk 1t
will ward off everything and everybody
from you, dangers and moths included.
It is generally agreeable to all man
kind. It lis SO sweet and refreshing, and
such an air purifier In railway cars,
where there is no air to speak OF, and
everybody who does not smell OF smoke
and onions smells of Goldfish and Old
cider, it is especially delightful.
1t doesn't make anybody sick at the
stomach, and no well-regulated head
would ache on account of it, and the man
who would get profane, and talk about
wood-chucks, and pole-cats, and water
rats In connection with the smell OF
musk, ought to be condemned to ride
second-class forever, between fiat woman
carrying home smoked herring and
colored nurse-girl with sour milk smell
ing baby.
At church, musk is delightful It is
the very "odor Of sanctity." The cler-
gyman can preach better for it, and the
bald-headed deacon and the long-nosed
sexton can sleep better and snore louder
with its odorous fumes waited to their
nostrils with every gentle wave OF your
pocket-handkerchief.
People who do not Like it are ill-bred.
1t is the perfume of the rich. The En-
press Josephine was fond of it, and we
don't know whether that fact had any
thing to do with Napoleon's getting
divorced from her or not.
Scent yourself literally. Don't be
afraid. Don't be stingy. Make your
self smaeH in the world, if you cannot
make yourself distinguished.
It is land of freedom, this Is Every
body has right to smell as he chooses.
and if anybody else does not Like the
odor, why, he can stop up his nose

A French Christmas Story.

A pretty little story of last Christmas
is told in French journal Among the
French either shoe or stocking IS
hung, on Christmas Eve, to receive the
gifts of Santa Claus. Two poor people
were lamenting their inability to put any
present in the shoe of their little one,
and we're hoping for better things next
year, when the child rushed IN, wild
with delight, calling out, ''oee what LIE
Petit Foc has sent mel" must IN
deed have been good;" and she showed
her parents poor, starved little spar
row, which had taken refuge from the
cold in the baby's shoe. The sparrow
ever since has had a snug home, AMI has
been regarded by the little girl as o

A little incident came to our knOwl
edge the other day which, at this time,
may be worth the telling. Just after the
holidays, IN 1878, physician IN one of
the large cities, while making his daily
rounds. gave description to one of his
patients of the almshouse which he had
visited that day, especially dwelling upon
the pitiable sight of SO many children to
whom Christmas had not been even
name, but had passed in all the dull
misery OF other days. The lady to whom
he spoke was a hopeless invalid, unable
for years to leave her bed; she was strait
ened, too, IN means. But, hearing the
story, she determined that the next
Christmas should bring little pleasure
to at least some of these little ones whom
society thrust out the pale even at their
birth. She had that inevitable stOrehouse
in every family, the ''piece-bag, brought
and emptied on her bed, and began to
make rag-babies, knitted mittens. balls,
etc., etc.-the thousand Inexpensive lit
tie trifies which required only labor and
patience to make them precious to any
child. She had whole year in which
to work; her courage and zeal grew with
every day; her friends became interested,
and brought in their contributions of
velvet, cloth, yarn, etc. When she had
provided some little gift for each of the
children she began to work for the in
sane ward, then for the hospital. Of
course, as nothing is more contagious
than charity, the idea spread among her
neighbors. One brought socks, an
other comfortable underclothing, an
old lady knitted jacket, her son col
lection of pipes, one housekeeper pile
of chromos and old prints, another a
CARLOAD of old magazines, until by
Christmas, although the almshouse has
as many inhabitants as a hourishing
town, there was not one for whom this
woman had not little gift. When the
day came it was observed as holiday,
the keepers making an effort to bring the
wards into condition of unusual clean
Illness, and to provide dinner better
than the ordinary fare. The Christmas
presents were given from the unseen
friend, she lying in the far-of little
room which she was never to leave
alive and with each gift was some mes
sage of Christian kindness which told of
Him who was born on that day and Of
His errand here.
All this happened last Christmas, and
was the work of one crippled poor
woman. The birthday Of Christ is COM
ing again, and in every town there is an
almshouse, asylum, or Jail filed with the
miserable, the guilty, the poor very
class to whom He came first; and IN
every one of these towns there are COM
munities of men and women who profess
to follow Him. When one woman can
do SO much to give significance to His
birth to thousands of these His brethren,
what may not these communities do?
Christians, as rule, do not visit the
prisons or almshouses. What If they
made Christmas Day an exception to
their usual neglect2 Let them go, not
with stern rebuke or tedious sermons,
but with some cheerful, tangible, live
remembrance of their Master which will

DAVID SWING.


A letter from Chicago says: Last
Sunday morning movement was lilau-
gurated at McVicker's Theater, in this
city, which promises to be not only NAM
moth in its proportions, but also pro-
ductive of great results. Prof. David
Swing, who, it will be remembered. was
tried for Presbyterian heresy year and
a half since, having formally withdrawn
from the Presbyterian body, began the
first service of new Central Church -
organization at the place and time above
mentioned. The financial basis of the
new movement was guarantee fund of
$50, 900, subscribed equally by the fol-
lowing prominent gentlemen:

The weather last Sunday was exceed
ingly bad, being rainy and otherwise
disagreeable; but, notwithstanding this,
every available standing space in the
theater was filled, and hundreds were
obliged to go away without obtaining an
entrance. Prof. Swing made state
ment regarding the field for s. Central
Church " in Chicago, showing that fully
10000 people were living in that locality
who were practically without church
privileges, and who would gladly
accept the opportunity TO attend
a church organized upon a broad
Christian basis. He stated the
plan of the present movement, and
that in all probability commodious
building. capable of seating 5000 people,
would shortly be erected in this central
locality which would be permanent in
stitution of the city. The exercises were
very impressive and the vast audience
was manifestly in full sympathy with the
speaker. The new departure has grand
outlook and will undoubtedly prove
most gratifying success.

In the olden times the festival of
Christmas lasted twelve days, which was
given up to games and sports in which
mumming was prominent. This seems
TO have been grotesque masquerade.
An old writer says: Then comes
mumming, or masquerading, when the
Squire's wardrobe is ransacked for
dresses of all kinds. Corks are burnt to
blacken the faces of the fair or make dep
uty moustaches. Every one in the
family, except the Squire himself, must
be transformed. During twelve days
of the festival, Lord of Misrule' was
appointed to be Master of Merry Dis
ports. This functionary exacted the
most implicit obedience from his sub
jects during his brief reign, and kept up
the pomp and parade of royalty itself.
Mumming fell afterwards into great and
deserved disrepute.
By the death of William B. Aston,
forty acres of land in the heart of New
York, worth 81, 800, 900 per acre, must
change ownership. For this reason the
reading of the Will is looked forward to
with deep interest. This land Is III
Broadway, in the Fifth Ward, and
largely in the Eighth Ward, being part
of Burr's grand estate, for which John
Jacob Aston paid 81, 900 per acre. The
Aston House alone is worth 81, 83O, O0O,
being thrice its cost. In addition TO the
land there is an immense personal estate
probably $3O,O0O,000. The accumu-
lation of an income equal to 81 800, 900
a year, out of which not $40, 900 was
spent, must have been rapid beyond any
calculation. This surplus was carefully
invested in good securities. -Aubet71e

Local Whining Affairs.

From every quarter comes glorious mining news. Speedy's express got in on Thursday Mr. Borton brought in thirty-three ounces, and Speedy brought in about tWenty-seven ounces for E. N. Fish & Go. T. Green Rusk has lately struck a new claim and is taking out one to one and half ounces per day Mr. D. A. Bennett who arrived from Patagonia on Wednesday, informs us that placer gold had been found on the northern slope of the Santa Ritas; that quite a nugget was picked up by a prospector. A correspondent writes us that on the night of the 18th, four So- nora people stole and took away over the line five animals-twO mules be- longing to Wilson Bros. and three hor- ses belonging to different parties His letter is dated July 20, and he says;
 These hills and gulches are full of gold, but the want of water keeps them from being worked successfully Some few who have water are doing well, but keep it very quiet. Some are mak- ing wages by packing the dirt on bur ros to the water, from a half to a mile. It is slow business. With plenty of water here, there would be hundreds of thousands of dollars taken out.
 The camps are sometimes supplied with vegetables and meat. Beef is sell ing at 15 cents per pound, string beans 1215, butter (very poor quality inter spersed with fly legs and wings,) 75, and butter-milk $1 per gallon. How is that for high? All are awaiting for rain. When will it come?

 The Ostrich mill is probably running by this time, as ample supplies and g force of men went out a week ago Water is plentiful.
 MT. Bennett reports favorably from the Enterprise in the Patagonia noun tains, but much rain of late interfered with the furnaces. But that will only be temporary.
 Dr. J. c. Handy informs us that 8 party of men have gone to the vicinity of the Cerro Colorado mine to work placers, where it is said rich ones have long been known to exist, but want ot water has prevented much work ir them. The late heavy rains have fur nished some water there, hence the movement of the miners.
 An order has gone out for an official survey of the Quacharty silver mine for patent
