How Christmas was Celebrated.

| Editors of the Register.
Some days ago. coming down from
Wheeling on the boat, noticed great
quantities of evergreens on the beach,
destined for your city for decorations and
Christmas trees, but your good people
must not think you have appropriated all
of Christmas to yourselves. Thank
Heaven there is enough Of this blessed
day to 20 all round. Like taxes, it is
general and universal, but very unlike.
it is everywhere welcome. ! have never
vet heard of a man complaining of being
missed by taxes, and no one need ever
complain of having no Christmas,
for as its highest enjoyment is in
making others happy, Its bless
ings are within reach Of all, even
the humblest. This is what the good
women of our village thought about it,
and set about to make themselves happy
by gladdening the warm young hearts Of
the children. So Christmas eve found
beautiful cedar tree, mysteriously grow
ing in the center of the large store room
of the Peoples Manufacturing Company,
and bending under its beautiful burden
of luscious and pretty things tor the little
folks, which, with its hundred lighted
tapers, presented a picture OF brllllancy
and beauty that was wonteringly admir-
ed by all, and you may well guess the
little ones who had never before seen
Christmas tree, were wild with delight.
Presently, with fierce blasts OF horns,
in bursts the veritable Santa Claus
himself, through curtained window
onto the stage, putting and blowing
well nigh exhausted and breathless from
his desperate efforts to get down the long
narrow 'fue and crooked stove pipe, to
which he briefly referred while recover
ing his breath, and then proceeded to
introduce himself rs follows:
Girls and Boys, good looking Mas and
ugly Pas-I'n Santa Claus, so hold your
paws for these gew-gaws open wide your
Jaws in loud hurraws and big haw.haws,
and don't pick flaws in any draws. 1t
always was, in my good laws, to have
applausei pub hius' P"us', s'"P'y "
cause I've run out of aCs. After which
with much merriment and good humor,
the tree was stripped of its precious load
and scattered out to the happy recipi-
ents.
After the tree came fun for the little
children and big ones, too-the former
playing Sister Phoebe, poor pussy wants
a corner, and the like; while the latter
embarked IN stripping the willow"
building bridges, and other plays wherein
kissing is always the essence OF the game.
This room became too warm tor married
men with weak stomachs, and we took
our babies and went home.
Wishing everybody happy New
Year SALAThIEL.

Editors of the Register.
We continue to have plenty Of rain
and mud in this part of the moral vine
yard, and have had but little snow as vet.
Our oldest citizens say that they have
never seen so little snow for the time OF
the year. There was q sufficlency of
mast in the mountain districts this season
to fatten the swine without feeding any
corn. Hundreds of bushels of corn have
been saved by the mast. This should
teach our citizens the improperly oil a
"hog law We had the pleasure of
meeting Mr.. r. w. Morrison, general
agent Of the Singer Manufacturing Com
panv of your city, while in this neigh
borhood on business Mr.. NJ. claims to
have been instrumental in the sale OF
nearly five thousand machines for the
Singer Manufacturing Company IN the
last nine years. He is a great admrer

think there will be large club raised
here for the REGISTER before the centen-
NAL wear has rolled one-fourth round. Men
have become interested in the coming
Presidential campaign, for they see clear
" that Grant is aspiring for the the third
term, and that he and his friends will
use their influence and power to retain
him in office. But there must be re-
volution in the affairs Of or govern
mcnt. The public are awakened to this
important change to take place in the
administration, as was shown in Con-
gress by the vote against the "third term"
The coming year will be one of the
most imperta.t events in American
history. The Centennial exposition and
the great effort to be made by the Demo
cracy to elect Democritic president, all
have tendency TO call forth the reason
ing and thinking powers of an intelli-
gent public. This is why everybody is
desirous OF having some political journal
and they know of no other that would
be more fitted to assist them in their
reasoning than the REGISTER

Hayes to Blaine.

Gov. HAYES appears to be n good hearted
man, and we have no disposition to say
aught against him. But it does seem TO us
that his regards for others are scattered
about in rather too miscellaneous and
reckless a manner 10 render il quite safe
10 place him in the White House. Ho
would unquestionably be very amiable
visitor, one that we should be glad to see
welcomed 10 that mansion by Mr.. TILDEN ;
but it would hardly be safe to put him
there for four years as President.
When Gov. HAYES was nominated he
received messages Of congratulation from
several OF his competitors before the Con-
vention. Everybody can understand the
genuine cordiality with which they were
sent. They were like the first love letters
OF fond and fervent SWANS. The first Of
these to which Gov. HAYES deigned to
reply was one from Mr., BLAINE-JAMEs G..
BLAINE-formcrly OF Pennsylvania, now
of Maine, and would-be of the White
House. Gov. HAYES not only answered
Mr. BLAINE first, but he took pains to tell
HIM, in his Telegram, that his congratula-
ton was the first 10 which he had re-
sponded.
Should Nj BLAINE live long enough,
and not confession evidence seems to
have little weight against II man in the
Republican party, that il, any other evil
dence but confession-we suppose il fair
aud reasonable To assume that, IN the event
Of the election of Mr.. HAYES Mr. BLAINE
Will have his choice Of places i'll the Cab!-
net
This Is inst the sort Of thing we most APP
preheud from Mr.. HAYES We believe he
u "A man OF personal purity OF character
but would not his administration be 80
weak and partisan as to he inevitably cor
ruptf
II he makes good Governor Of ONO.
| as the people out there seem 10 think liz
| does, why not continue HIM in that office.

| civil scvvlcU rOiurmf

seat and smoothed down his rufiied feathers
with "A glass OF chaup gne.

Mr.. Kelly was seated on the sofa, and Mr.. Hewitt
approached nun with extended hand.

Mr. Hewitt was dumbfounded ut this recep-
tion, and left kelly's room immediately.

nomination OF Mr. 1fldeB. Mr.. Weed, who has
