The Reported Cabinet Scandal.

In explanation Of the allusion in a
Washington letter that one of Gen.
Grants former cabinet ministers had been
forced to resign because of scsndalous
anonymous letters written by his wife,
the New York san gives these particu.
lars
This cabinet officer was George II.
Williams, then attorney general. As
long as no was guilty of nothing but the
lavish and even illegal use of tho public
money Messrs. Robson, Fish and Bel.
KNAPP were quite willing that he should
remain in Office as their associate but
when Mrs. Robson got an anonymous
letter full Of unpleasant statements and
suggestions, and Mrs. Fish got another,
and Mrs. Belknap another, and Mrs.
Gen. Babcock another, then the very mis-.
chief was to pay. 1t was something they
could not stand and, putting all the let.
tiers together, they came to the conclusion
that Mrs. Williams was their author.
Then they went to Gen. Grant with the
thing. II was doubtless one of the most
painful moments the president had ever
known in his life, because he and Mrs.
Williams had always been very good
friends and yet the best of friends must
part, all on account Of anonymous letters.
Mr.. Williams public errors had only
seemed to mako the offender dSarer, out
anonymous letters written by cabinet
minister's wife, and very handsome and
very clever lady, too, noted for the splen.
dor of her entertainments and the bril-.
liant figure she made in Washington so.
ciety, constituted a fatal offense. And
now the proud and stately letter writer is
said to be rusticating in Florida, and
where Landaulet Williams is nobody
cares. The scandal of the personal at.
tacks contained in the letters on some of
those to whom they we're addressed is
said to have been something truly start.

AZ This is proper season for good
wishes, Under the influence of grateful
recollections of mcrccs received ourselves
during the past year, and rccognizing"the
universal fathorhood Of God and the uni.
versa brotherhood Of man." our hearts
ought to warm into that sympathy with
our fellow men which will enable us to re
joice in their happiness, mourn for their
sorrows and to exercise a sort Of uuivcr-
sal bcnovoencc which will find expression
at least in kindly greetings if not in a moro
substantial and valuable manner. Words
arc said to be cheap, but they arc not
always heartess or unmeaning. The
words "Merry Christmas" ringing out
from the voices of childhood and youth
are usually freighted with the kindly wish
expressed, and they reach and warm the
heart OF some ono who in turn gets all
aglow with the feeling of love for human
lty and then sends the pleasant greeting on
its mission to warm and heal other hearts
that need its happy influence. Don't
spare the kindly expression Of a real wish
for another's happiness. 1t may 60 fur
Their and do moro good in the world than
you think.
Christmas as IA universal holiday is of
comparatively recent date in New Eng
land. Those who have arrived at middle

ants of the old puritans purposely ignored
its sacreduess and carefully avoided Civ

general softening down Of soctarian differ.
ences in the later years there has been Il
gradual assimilation in this respect, in this
section OF the country as well as Others
and now the custom OF observing Christ

human exploits, no noise or scnscless
feasts But its main feature is that Of
friendly feeling OF man for his brother
man, as if prompted by the example of
Him whose birth we thus celebrate. The
simple rites OF charity, gifts, material ex-
pressions of regard, kindly wishes and
general joy, are all we see. And il is
enough. May it continue as an institu.
