New PUBLICATIoNs.-The Baltimore Weekly
Sun issued as its Christmas number double
paper of eight pages, or sixty-four columns,
containing vast amount of original and
selected matter. The Sun is one of the very
best for its price-Sl.50 per year.
The Newark (Del.) Ledger came to US
with an illustrated supplement. 1t is now
in its fifteenth week and is an enterprising
and sprightly local paper.
The Milford Literary Record is the title OF
a paper read in the week meetings of a
fourishing literary society of young men
and ladies in Milford. The Christmas
edition was printed for gratuitous distribu.
tion-a production for persons SO youthful Of
decided merit. If the young mems club
meeting of our town would form q similar
society it would profit them much more
than time spent without any purpose.
The "Drunkards Diseased Appetite, il
curable, how?" and "The Dogma of Human
Responsibility as it relates to lnebriety,'
are the titles of two strongly written pam
phlets by Rev. J. Willett, Superintendent
of the Inebriates' Home, Fort Hamilton
Kings CO., n. Y.

THE UNREST OF THE TIMEs-The New
York Journal Of Commerce, in an article on
the Christmas season, has the following
concise and opportune reflections The
spirit of the blessed Christmas time was
never more welcome. There is strange
unrest all oyrr the world, and the hearts of
the race al. .:nng everywhere for a visit
from the white-robed angel with the olive
wand. In far India skeleton fingers are
beckoning the sweet vision that is to draw
the curtain behind the long months of
famine. Europe from its eastern fields
redeemed with blood, to its western shores
against which beat the angry waves of
political strife, has been counting the weary
hours. Our land has waited for it through
year of unusual turmoil and trial. The
presidential succession, the Indian massa-
cres, the labor riots, the bank failures
swallowing up the little boards which in
dustry had placed as a guard against biting
want, the sad demoralizations on every side
leaving scanty wrecks of character and for
tune that had been deemed proof against
temptation and wasting assault--these all
have darkened and thickened the very ali
until it seemed too heavy for the weary
breath.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.-The Peninsular
Ne,0s has column and half editorial in
commendation of the honorable course in
Congress of Representative Williams, and
styles him the "best representative" with
possibly one exception, the people have had
in Congress for twenty years. In anticipa.
ton that the politicians will wish to rotate
him out at the close of his second term as
is usual, the Ne,0s thinks it will be wise for
the people of the State, and especially the
agricultural classes to see to it, that no man
is allowed, yet awhile, to surpersede Mr..
Williams in this position.
