The custom of bestowing gifts at Christmas
time, is of ancient origin. and has prevailed
among civilized and christian nations down to

looked to as time OF merry making and joy

little presents and keep-sakes they receive at
this time will nigh complete their happiness.

The Jssser % ne Press.


Our clown IS become as essential to the
press as the jester is in the plsys Of Shak-
speare, 70 relieve their darker shades-as the
lights contrasting the shadows Of a picture,
that both may stand out in elearerreli HIS
joke comes into the column as the neighbor
paragraph to the chronicle Of murder most
foul. He airily disports his rattlebrain
fantasies on the same sheet that sets forth
the conclusions Of the grave and reverend
seigniors Of church and State in the jour
nalistic record Of events. His jest is in the
Interlude, like the sardIne in q sandwich,
that comes between the more bulky and
substantial; that relieves the labOred, artis-
tic feats Of the hiPpodrome. He thinks
lightly OF the heavy, leading editorials of
oolfreres Of the press, because he is satisfied
he could write them better, II he only
wanted to; but it is too slow for him; there
is too little point in it; it is not his part in
the play to prose and recite ponderous
truths; but It is his to make t'pOints of Jest. :"
Those are deep and sound, and he knows
that, so he is at the bottom of his own rest
less mind yet he will not draw from the
still reservoir of sober thought, but scourges
It to fury with the lash of eccentric
fancy; and the harvest he then reaps, the
thoughts that it pleases him to print, are
IS the airy foam Of the pillows, which only
the great salt waves of the deep sea in rest
less action can form on the surface. The
calm, still waters Of the little pond fling
no such foam crests to their service, and
though he may love and long for thatrepose,
his very nature forbids its attainment, and
he lashes into action the salt waters of his
deep sea of thought to gather but the
eyanescent foam of its billows-t to 'ssparkle

At the present moment, the London Sat
urddy ReUfeso argues, it may certainly be
doubtful whether in this country capital
punishment is SO powerful deterrent as it
should be, and the reason Is simply that
the chances are all in favor Of the muir
derer. To say nothing of the stupidity of
the police, there are mad doctors, maudlin
journalists, weak judges, sentimental iurles,
and imbecile Home Secretaries. The muir
der may be as clear as anything can be, but
all sorts of excuses are suggested. The
poor fellow was mad-indeed, the mere
fact that he killed anyone is proof of mad
ness-or he was provoked A man has a
bad wife; she is shrill, drunken, unctastel
Her husband cracks her skull, as the best
way of silencing her. Should the poor
man be hanged for thatl Certainly not,
we should say, If you are of opinion that
wives should be put to death without trial,
at the discretion Of their husbands, for bad
temper and looseuess of conduct. THIS
week there has been case of this kind in,
which the murderer has been spared, and
the result no doubt will be that good
many other wrctched women will be put to
death for offenses which, however aggra-
waiting, have not hitherto been supposed to
require such discipline. The odd part of
the matter is, that it is the very people
who pride themselves on their tender-heart-
edness and anxiety to save life, who are the
chief agents in encouraging murder by adj
vocating the principle that murder may be
committed with impunity. II q man cannot
get on with his wife he can leave her; it is
3 curious development of humaRity that he
should be authorized TO kill her. ~

The following autograph letter from
Henry Clay was handed US by our fellow
townsman, Isaac Underhill, a native Of the
State of New York, who voted for Gen.
Jackson for his second term for the Presi-
dency, and for Martin Van Buren, in 1885.
Forty years ago Mr.. Underhlll was whole
sale merchant in New Orleans. Those were
paimy days even though in December, 1882,
the city had q fearful visitation Of cholera.
During fifteen days between seven thousand.
andeight thousand died., Most Of them were
buried in long trenches. Inone back street
number Of bodies were piled up and
burned; vehicles could not be hired to take
them to the cemeteries. To 1874 Mr.. I'm
derhill was one Of the largest farmers and
landholders in Illinois. He spent four
thousand dollars in endeavoTing 10 elect
his friend, Henry Clay, to the Presidency,
and was beaten By the Garrison Abolition
lists, who caused the State Of New York to
so for James X. Polk. In those DAYS as
the State Of New York went so went the
Union. In 1850 1Ir. Underhill voted for
bis personal friend, Stephen A. Douglas,
tor the Presidency, and for Grant IN 1874.
Ae did not like Greeley, but would have no
third term, or civil rights or force bills.
His health failed at the North, and he now
