welcome Oh isu mas Gift

The usual practice in choosing Christmas gifts
is to start out with full porte-monnaie and
come home with it empty, having secured 4
dozen book and print and curio shops meantime
to g find enough pretty things to go round"
The gift sent to one friend might have been
offered with equal propriety to hundred others.
Now every body (wortb remembering at all
on Christmas day. has q fancy, or within. or
association, which trihe will recall and CRAFTY.
Now that we have 30 little money, let us set our
brains to work to remember these whms or hob.
bies, and to find the suggestive trifes, and
our word for it, we will startle our friends
with more real pleasure than if We had sent
them the costliett unmeaning gift. There must
be nice discrimination, too in asserting these
trifies There are certain folk whom we know
to be sorely in need Of articles for the ward
robe, and to whom we must therefore give
utterly useless follies, because thoy know that
We know it; and there are other and better
folk in like condition, who will receive collar
or pair OF gloves with as hearty AMI sincere
feeling az though the offering were strain of
Christmas music. There is one cousin whose
gift must smell of the shops and the dollars
paid for it, aud another who. if we sent her
our worn copy Of George Herbert, or the little
broken vase which has stood for years ON the
study table, would receive them with wet eyes.
and find them fragrant with old memories.--

young girl fifteen years Of age, daughter of
William Ogs. laborer living near Venice, But
Ter county, Ohio, drowned herself in the Miami
river on Saturday last. Various causes are as
signed among which was an effort on the part
OF her parents 10 compel her to marry an elderly
man whom she disiked, but the most direct in
huence appears to have been a little quarrel be-
tween herself and mother. She had been scrub
bling the floor Of their house, and corrected by
slap smaller child which soiled the floor she
WAS cleaning, and her mother reproved her. and
slapped her in return. Declaring she would
drown herself, she rose. packed her clothing up
in bundle, and started down to the river, her
elder sister accompanying and attempting to
pacify aud aissusde her from her purpose, but
threw her bundle of clothing in, and then
plunged in herself, almost drowning her sister
who was trying to pull her back. She ssnk in
about seven feet Of water. Her body was re-
covered near the same spot few hours after

FUNUING THE GREENBACKs.

There is general expression of opinion by
authorities entitled to respect that the true solu-
ton of the financial problem is to fund hegr,en-
backs. The Chicago Tribune makes these pro-
positions
l. That the holders Of greenbacks, upon pre-
sentstion of them to the Treasury department.
be entitled to receive in exchange therefor or
3.65 per cent. gold bonds, CT the denomination
OF $50 or 800, or any multiple Of 800.
g. That these bonds, having thirty years to run
from the date Of issue, be made legal tenders in
the payment of all debts and contracts made be-
fore, say 4th of July, 1876.
3. That the legal tender for all contracts made
after that date shall be coin of the United
States, except when payment otherwise may be
expressly stipulated
The Boston Advertiser approves the first and
leading proposition but insists that the bonds
should run fifty years, and says that this would
make them, at par in gold, the best public secur-
lty in the world for Observation-Disclosures than
English consols at 90, even in England.
The funding proposition, the New York
Times says, is already supported by some OF
the best and olearest- headed members OF Con-
gress. 1t is also approved by number OF
journals of influence in all parts Of the country.
And, what is specially in its favor it is the most
natural way of dealing with the question. Fer
after all, so far as the Government is directly
concerned with these notes, it has but one duty
TO perform with reference to them, and that is
to pay them, or to provide for their ultimate
and certain payment. The notes constitute a
part Of the national debt, and nothing which
Congress has done or can do with reference to
them can deprive them Of that character.
1t is very encouraging to find that there is q
tendency among sensible people in diffcren,
sections to unto on some precise measure
Whether anything can or will be done at THU
session Of Congress, in the direction OF funding
or any other solution Of the problem, remains +,
be seen, but it is gratifying step forward whel
some degree Of harmony in opinion is attaine
amongst those who are discussing the tinancis
question.

Antiquities In New Jersey.

We had supposed all the old relics in South
Jersey were hunted up and exhibited at the
Harvest Home at Salem, in the summer, but
the Woodstown Register disabuses our minds Of
such belief by the following:
There is family living near Woodstown that
lives in large brick honse one hundred and
thirteen years old, who have taken their meals
regularly or OF Centennial table, while the
matron OF the family, IN her eightieth year.
bakes the buckweat cakes or of an old-fasl-
Toned bake.iron, such as was used in fre-places
OF olden time; rests herself in q rocking chair
her mother died in, puts her feet on q stool
made big for her father, while she reads the
old Centennial Bible Of the family, containing
piece Of original handwriting that Is kept in
it, in regard to her ancestry, that dates az far
back HI 1851, or peruses an old cpheripg book
that was once used by her grandfather stirs
her tea with aspoon that was her grsndmother'p,
and then peacefully sleeps on bed the tick OF
which was epun and made by her mother.

The excitement over tho epeakership increases
u the time foe tho democrats causus draws
near, and the chances Of Randall and Kerr are
the subject of most Lively discussion wherever
two or more Congressman ges together. TIE
friends Of Kerr are sticking TO him with jealous
tenacity. They are making great parade OF
their strength and have induced some OF the
betting men to think this evening that he bad
gained little ground since last night This,
however, was the effect of loud and per-
sistent Boosting. The Randall men are work
ing quietly and surely They claim that they al
ready have eighty men who will vote for Ran
dali OH the first ballot. As the whole number to
participate in the caucus after excluding the In
dependent democrats, liberals aud like non.
party men, will not be over l73 democrats, the
ns"as 81 vote. nsSssssry 70
Of this majority Randall now lacks only
seven. On the first ballot Ohio will give Sunset
Cox . complimentary vote, and then 60 for
Randall, insuring his election. The coMbina-
been effected by . sort Of triangular agreement
or arrangement allotting the Speakership
to Pennsylvania, the Clerkship TO the
South and the Sergeant 1t Arms
to Ohio. 1t Is not known who planned
this ingenious combination. but it looks not un-
like the work Of Fernando Wood. In.prolnis'ng
tine South the Ole-kship, no name for that posi-
ton Was agreed upon. The probability IL that
the Congressmen from that section will meet in
independent Caucus and decide upon the choice
OF man who will DO voted for by the Randall
men In the general caucus, in return for tho
Southern vote for Randall. The choice Of
the South for Clerk will 1t ia thought
tonight, be limited to three names-name-
ly, George G. Wedderburn, the unanimous
candidate Of the Virginia delegation General
Du Bose, Of Georgia, and A. B. Banks, Of
Mississippi. The Sergeant-at-A being con-
coded to Ohio. the choice Of the delegation from
that State will, it is believed, fall upon John q.
Thompson, Chairman Of the Executive Commit
tee OF the Ohio Democratic State Committee
This ID the ''slste" M it stands at eleven O'Clock
tonight and the combination is 30 strong that
it will be very hard to fracture 1t.
