General Butler and the Clymer
(Ommittee.

Clymer had an animal that he
knew it was well to give very long
rope, and none of the Committee
wanted to ask him any ugly ques.
tions. They stood OF very respect
fully, were very polite and consider
ate, and put none but the most gen.
eral interrogatories. General Butler
came In with fun In his eyes. He
was all ready for tilt with the bully
Blackburn, and was very anxious to
have it, but Blackburn wisely kept
his distance, and did not opea his
mouth during the entire examine
ton, which was very short. No one
seemed inclined to get any evidence
out of the witness. 1t was a dam
gerous task that had to be UNDER
taken, and was finished as easily and
quickly as possible. When General
Butler had finished and was dis
missed, the Committee drew very
long breath and looked very glad
that their job was over.-[ Washing

HOLIDAY SEASON.

The holiday season, its evenings
ablaze with light in shop and church
and street, in home and heart and i'm
pulse, is upon us in all of its old-time
glory. Concert precedes ball, and ball
is followed by theatef; and up and down
and through our streets and into our
homes and out again come and go
troops of merry children with their
scarcely less merry elders.
" The expectant stockings by the chimney
hung;
The sweet cOnspiracies OF old and young;
The Christmas tree, with its surprising fruits
Toys, candies, picture books, the boys first
boots,"
All have claimed in their turn their
share of attention, and all will soon
take their places in the memory cham
bers of the Centennial year.
Glancing only at the bright side Of
this festal time, one fOrgets for a mo-
ment that it does not extend its hand OF
rejoicing to all; forgets that pain and
disease has kept weary vigil in many a
darkened chamber; that want and woe
hold in relentless grasp many to whom
glad sounds of merriment are but hol-
low moekery, and the gala week but a
bitter taunt; that even through every
day of the gladstone time graves have
been followed out and filled and closed
1t is for the time an effort to believe
that sorrow and penury tread so closely
upon the heels of joy and affiuence
Holiest amongst the impulses and infiu'
ences of this season are those that un.
lock the well-springs of charity anC
sympathy in the human heart.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

In closing, up accounts for 1876, we
find that many of our patrons, some of
whom have from time to time given US
their cordial sympathy and cooperation
in our journalistic enterprise, are still
in arrears for the last volume of the
NEW NORTHWEST. We have during
the past few months. made repeated ap-
peals to delinquents to pay up, and have
furnished many with statements of
their accounts, and yet from careless
. ness or some other cause many are still
in the delinquents list. This we be-
lieve would not be the case did each un-
derstand the need that exists for every
subscriber to pay his or her own indi-
vidual obligation. Mrs. Duniway has
now been absent nearly seven months,
and still tarries. Of course all under
stand that the field work she so busily
prosecuted while in this State has
necessarily been suspended during the
time that she has been sojourning in
the East, giving personal supervision tc
the publication of her poem, and under.
standing this, will see how imperstively
necessary it is for subscriptions to bt
paid in order to meet constantly-recur
ring bills. Newspaper people, like
other folks, like to commence the new
year with money sufficient to meet bill
when presented, and like other folks
are entitled 10 receive their money
when Jue.
We hope that this plain statement o
the facts in the case, and the assurance
that we need outstanding subscriptions
will be sufficient to cause every sub,
seriber to think the matter over, decide
whether he or she is in arrears, and re
NIT at once, not only what is due, but &
years subscription in advance.
Those of our agents who have money
in their possession for this office will
please forward the same Immediately
by money order, express, or registered
letter.

SAYING HATEFUL THINGS. a
strange disposition is that which leads
people to say "hateful" things for the
mere pleasure of saying them You
are never safe with such a person.
When you have done your hest to please,
and are feeling very kindly and pleas
antly, out will come some underhand
stab, which you alone will comprehend,
sneer which is masked but which is
too well aimed to be misunderstood. II
may be at your person, your mental
feelings, your foolish habits of thought,
or some little secret opinion confessed in
a moment of genuine confidence. 1t
matters not how sacred it may be Ia
you, he will have his fling at it; and
siuce the wish is to make you suffer, he
is all the happier the nearer he touches
your heart. Just have a dozen words,
only for the pleasure of feeling a cheek
flush, and an eye lose its brightness
only spoken because be is afraid you are
too happy or too conceited Yet they
are worse than so many blows. How
many sleepless nights haye such mean
attacks caused teueer-hearted mortals
How after them one awakes with aching
eyes and head, to remember that speech
before everything-that bright, sharp
well-aimed needle of a speech, thai
probed the very center of his soul

RETROsPEOTIoN.

The Centennial year of our Republics
history has but to count few more
sands from Times great hour-glass, and
then its records of good and of i'll COM
pleted will take its place in the ranks of
long silent centuries. But yesterday, as
it seems, 1875 came to us aglow with
bright anticipations, and full of -vigor-
Gus, buoyant life and energy, with
which to convert them into realities;
to-day he stands as an emblem of de-
crepit age, waiting for his melancholy
daughter, dark-browed December, to
close her own and his last accounts and
give place to his young successor.
Retrospection, now fitting companion
for our thoughts, will, as the glad bells
tell US in one stroke that the Old Year
is dead, and the New Year born, speed
lily give place again to anticipations,
high hopes, and good resolves. "Prom-
ises made but never kept" will hide
from sight their shadowy forms, while
new ones will with increased confidence
occupy their room. No thought that
they too may share the ignominious
fate of their predecessors for the present
darkens their prospects. The ghosts OF
these murdered resolves will be relent-
lessly crushed beneath the feet of re-re-
solves, and these, in turn, will, in many
instances, share like melancholy fate.
Happy are they, and few as happy, who
can cast backward into the receding
months of the year that is gone a self
satisfied glance, and turning, greet the
year to be, with cheerful confidence in
their ability to triumph over errors that
so easily ensnare humanity.

Christmas Night,

The following sweet and familiar pic
ture of Christmas night is taken from a
Christmas story by J. T. Trowbridge in
Harper's Magazine:
Tired Nature lets her starry eyelid down,
wtntry quiet falls on all the town.
A ingling frost is in the silent air,
HIS own breath whitens on his beard and hair
As Allen burn, with homeward-hasting feet,
AWakes the echoes of the Icy street.
The shops. on Christmas eve abIaze with light,
Are closed and dark on this cold Christmas
But in the homes above him, Maurice knows
What pleasure sparkles and what comfort
The dance, the song and story, told or sung:
Smiles from the elders, laughter from the
Enraptured childhood with its pictured page:
The homely games, uniting youth and age
Scenes which the curtained windows scarce
And ali the joys which friends and kindred
In that glad time-with sympathizing heart,
He seems to see and hear and take part
In all; and now his eager fancy runs
Before to his own home and little ones.
There waits the partner Of his home and life,
Their mother and (ecstatic thoughtD his wife,
The ever-faithful Laura. Fondly there
| His own good mother from her easy chair
Watches the baby Maurice on the floor,
OpOulldtng still, to see 10 fall once more,
His topping house of blocks; or turns TO smile
On little Laura by her side the while,
BENDING in the warm light her glowing head,
flushing her doll and putting it to bed.
The last house falls in ruins; in the box
Are packed at last the bright new Christmas
| blocks;
The doll's asleep, the cradle put away;
And SO the happy children end their play.
And in Imagination now he sees
Two cherubs in white night-sowns on their
| knees,
Mingling their cuEls before the mothers chair,
Lisping with dewy lips their evening prayer.

A POPULAR SAVINGS BANK
An exchange saws 4:

An exchange says:
A saving woman at the head of family is
the very best savings bank yet established.
Possibly, but there is small incentive
for a woman to establish these banks,
for after long life of rigid economy and
careful painstaking the entire accumu-
lations are beyond her reach and belong
solely in law as well as in name to her
husband. The use of one-third during
her lifetime, and the "bankn building
rent free for one year to live in after the
death of the husband is by mems laws
and enactments deemed sufficient COM
pensation to the woman to whom by
common consent is accorded the credit
of saving the whole. Women whn
have to "pray the court for relief' in
the shape of monthly stipend for the
support of themselves and children and
find this doled out to them from theirow
Savings bank" according to a strang-
er's judgment of their needs, understand
this matter. While present customs
obtain, we don't advise any woman to
deny herself anything that the finances
of the firm will purchase, in order to
build up future over which she has no
control.

RECENT EVENTS.

During a recent gale on the east coast
of Scotland and England many wrecks
occurred, and total of $50 lives were
lost.
Performances at the New York thea
ters on the 21st netted about $4,000,
which is to be devoted to the aid of
Brooklyn sufferers.
The New York Tribune editorially
says: The fact that CrOnin organized
himself relieves his Creator from a
heavy responsibility.
A reception was given Governor Gre
yer at Sacramento on Tuesday. He left
on the same evening for Washington.
A salute was fired in his honor.
The new steamship "City of Chester"
just completed, to run between San
Francisco and Portland, Oregon, sailed
for her destination last Thursday.
The Republican electoral vote was de-
posted by the messenger with Ferry on
the Goth. No receipt was given as there
are two sets of votes from Florida.
Senator Ferry states that in all cases
in which conflicting electoral certificates
are known to have been issued no re-
ceipt will be given by him to either.
A dwelling-house was burned in
Bangor, Maine, on the night of the 21st,
in which young girl eighteen years of
age and child were burned to death.
The Times Monroe special says
Witnesses of high standing before the
subcommittee are contradicting every
essential particular OF Eliza Pinkston's
story.
The Journals Washington special
says: 1t is said that Cronin has delayed
delivering the pretended electoral vote
of Oregon to Mr.. Ferry at the instance
of prominent Democrats, who are con-
sidering the advisability of Withholding
it altogether.
Smallpox seems again on the increase
in San Francisco. Twenty-eight new
cases were verified by the health officer
during the week. The mortality from
diphtheria also continues alarmingly
large, amounting to IA during the last
six weeks, or one-quarter of the entire
death rate Of the city.
The messenger bearing the Tilden
vote of Florida, handed Ferry his pack
age on the 22d. Ferry received the
vote, but decided not to give any re-
ceipts to the messenger who brought the
electoral votes that were contested on
the ground that both could not be paid
at present by Congress for such services
1t appears that the receipt is used as g
voucher on which to collect mileage.
The Democratic leaders have in.
structed Cronin not to deliver the Ore
god certificates at all, purposing to pre-
vent the count of the electoral votes
from Oregon, and then to claim thai
either 184 is the constitutional majority
or else that the Presidential election has
been thrown into the House of Repre-
sentatives.
