THE prosecutions of the whisky
ring have begun to bring forth
fruit. Within a few weeks over
forty persons many OF them high
in local political circles, have eth
er been convicted or have con-
fessed their dishonesty in Missou-
ri, Wisconsin and Indiana. The
Government has secured by for
feiture and fines actually collected
about $2,000,000, besides which
from four to FIVE millions may be
secured from the suits now pend1
ing in St Louis, Milwaukee, In
dianapolis, and other Western
cities. There can, therefore, be
little doubt that the statement
to the effect that Government has
lost s4,O0O,OOO by whisky frauds
within the past two years is true,

THE Government being desir-
Gus of reducing the expenses at
the Custom House in San Fran
DISCO, left it optional with Collec-
tor Shannon either to reduce the
force or suffer a curtailment of
15 per cent. upon their salaries,
whereupon he adopted the former,
thus effecting an annual saving ac-
cording to the Chronicle, of about
$65, 900. Some $4,000, 900 in gold
are said to be collected at that
port annually. Mr., Shannon, re-
ferring to the change, says; :" Since
the reduction of our force | do not
believe there is another Office that
can show so efficient a body of
men as the employees of this Of
6ce. We have no drones here;
every man is required to work for
his money"

On the Eth inst, about 1000
unemployed people, mostly French
Canadians, assembled in front of
the City Hall in Montreal, where
they remained for some time in an
excited state, but beyond reliev-
ing a bread wagon of a dozen
loaves, no reprehensible acts were
committed. The council prom
ised to give them an answer in
the afternoon in response to their
demand for work or bread.

Captain Wham, marine reporter r

Editorial Notes.

The Postmaster General has
before him an official paper pro-
posing that the present postage
law remain precisely as it is, ex-
cept to exclude from operation of
the act of Congress, increasing
rates on third-class matter; all
transient newspapers and maya
zines, unsealed circulars and pros
-pectuses, and expressly fix the
rates of these as they were before
the increase.

A LETTER has been going the
rounds Of the eastern papers from
a mechanic in San Francisco, who
it appears went to that city from
an eastern State about a year ago.
He found it extremely difficult to
find employment and says that
thousands there are unable to get
work and are reduced to beggary.
He advises mechanics and laborers
in the East to stay where they
are rather than come to California
and fare worse. His advice is not
without application elsewhere.

CHRISTMAS.

Cnurcn lesuNdlS - HfIe' III Ing
land and on the continent of
Europe the church bells are rungI
at midnight,
"Hailing with sweet music
Christ's nativity"
Also choirs Of men and boys go
from house to house on Christmas
Eve singing carols, such as
"God rest We. merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you alright,
For Jesus Christ, the Savior,
Was born on Christmas night"
In Italy, on the day previous to
Christmas, minstrels descend from
the Apprentices to Naples and
Rome, saluting the shrine Of the
Virgin Mother with their strange
music, under the poetical idea of
praising her for the event, and
thus fulfilling the prediction Of
Mary, from henceforth all gen.
erations shall call me blessed"
Christmas, Christ, and mass
the time of the peculiar service Of
Christ-is observed on the 25th
? day of December. 1t was first
kept in Mary's house as the birth
day of her marvellous son. After
tbeascension it was kept by the
disciples with much reverence,
but was instituted as a general fes-
twain the year 138. The time
for keeping the festival was not
settled until the 4th century, when
a council decided for the 25th
day Of December. From that
time to the present Christmas has
been uniformly kept by the
churches on that day,
Many are the incidents and
amusements in connection with
this festive season, both in the
past and present. Some of Us re-
member when the mistletoe boughd
hung in the parlor. and the bloom
ing girl in her teens had to pay
the forfeit Of a kiss to her swain
for passing under it. ~ .saes
In England, the yule log or
laEgs block Of wood was put eoua
the ere Christmas Eve and, lit by a
piece Of last years yule, burned
and blazed and gave good cheer:
It gave pleasure not only IN, the
fame and heat it sent forth, but in
the preparation of it. When the
yule log was being brought from
the woods it was gaily decorated
with ribbons and drawn by oxen,
though sometimes by the servants
and retainers who did it with much
good cheer.
In this country, as well as in
the Protestant districts of Ger
many and Northern Europe
Christmas is peculiarly the chill
dren's festival. The Christmas
tree is decorated with gifts from
Sunday School teachers, parents
and friends for the children.
Santa Claus, a corruption of St.
Nicholas, is mythical person sup
posed to have the welfare Of all
boys and girls atheart. In some
Of the villages of North Germany
the parents engage a friend to
personate Santa Claus, and the
gifts for the children are given to
him. On the evening of distribu-
ton this formidable person sp.
pears in awful pomp with sword
and calls for the children by name.
He then enquiries into their con-
duct during the past year and gives
his presents according to merit.
To some he has been known to
give rod with which they were
to be amused during the coming
year, whilst to others he gave val
liable gifts. While we hope the
latter will be the fate of all our
town children, and our young
readers everywhere, we wish ALL
fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters,
children and friends--a " MERRY
CHRIsrNAs." cm -, l .a

The discovery that some corpo-

surprise and worthy of note: "The
Boston and Providence Railroad
Corporation have decided not to
reduce the wages of employees,
and President Clifford has de-
clared that sooner than consent to
any. reduction he would give up
half his own salary" The SPRING

Of such is the kingdom of heaven;

A PROJECT is on foot in New

move to Philadelphia the House in
which Horace Greeley was born.
This house now stands on the old
Greeley farm in Amherst, about
FIVE miles from Manchester. 1t is
a very old-fashioned, oak-framed,
storyrand-a-half building, 30x40,
with 74-foot stud, and contains
four rooms. The old farm is OF

has proved a source of profit

trees into canes for relic hunters.

The Age OF Discovery

W. Winter, the artist, Is about to pre-
sent TO the citizens of Cairo a new pic
ture, with all the coloring Of real life.
The means of working these charming
and life-likc pictures will not be with
held from the public. The modus oper-
dHdi is as follows: On the right hand
side Of the camera is attached mill
which contains the prisniatlc colors in a
pulyerized state. As the colors pass into
the camera they are received by a fan
wheel which keeps the atoms In
motion. The Photographic plate, while
wet, Is then placed in the camera-the
sitter being in position. The handle OF
the mill is gently turned. The cap OF
tube is removed, the image OF the sitter
begins to form while passing through
the colored atmosphere, the particles OF
dust falling where they properly belong.
When, Presto! you have beautiful pic.
ture OF yourself or friend.
Mr.. W, is also making picture called
the nonpareil, a beautiful style. suitable
for lockets and miniature cases. Large
assortment of the latter on hand. Gal
cry open daily.
