The "Christmas Celebration and
Festival given at the c. p. Church,
Tuesday night, by the Independent Or
der Of Good Templsro, was the Incl
dent OF the Holidays this year in Win,
chester. The programme consisted
mainly Of music by Prot. Utcrmochlen,
Mrs. Jennie Henderson, and others ;
an Essay by Mrs. Lou. MurrelI II Lee
ture ty DR., G. 2, Baird, and ssplendid
Supper. We have heard much praise
btslo wed upon everything that was
done, but especially upon Tue Essay OF
Mrs. Murrell, and we opine that this
celebration has done and will do much
good. Surely the cause of Temper
ance is a good one, and if ace speak
from a standpoint outside the Order OF
Good Templars, we are just MS sincere
US if we were Chief Officer in the Or
der. And we are not sacriligious in
saying that this O'der is striving to do
something which ought to rank along,
side the good which Christ himself
came to do. Who knows but the
''Star of Hope Lodge may be the
cause Of happiness hereafter in many a
household where strong drink has
caused untold misery Even now, in
It's infancy, it has brought happy
smiles to several mothers, wives, and
sisters. who had shed bitter tears uvcr
tho intempcrance of loved ones. We
assure tho members Of the Order that
we would count ourself a most I'M
worthy and indecent person if we did
not wish them untold success. May
they 60 on conquering and to conquer,
like the rising sun that grows brighter
and still brighter on its way up the
dome OF Heaven. And we especially
tcnder our thanks, for their remem-
brancc of us, to the Committee, com
posed as follows:
Isaac Estill, Chairman; Ellis Days,
r. II. Finch, r. j. Gaines, j. c. Hop

TR1FLEs.-There are many little things in
the household, attention to which is indispen-
sable to health and happiness. The kind Of
air which circulates in house may seem a
small matter, for we cannot see the air, and
not many people know anything about it; yet
if we do not provide regular supply Of pure
air within our houses, we shall inevitably suf-
fer for our neglect. A few specks of dirt
may seem neither here nor there, and q closed
door or window appear to make little differ
ence; but it may make the difference of q
life destroyed by fever; and, therefore, the
little dirt and little bad air are very serious
matters, and ought to be removed according
ly. The whole Of the household regulations
are, taken by themselves, triAes-but triaes
tending to an important result.

ness of getting logs from State lands is, I'll

for eleven months, and during that short Pc
riod, he was enabled to get married FIVE differ
ent times. The last spouse, however, proved
to be less thrifty than the other four, and the

Curiorr Rnrlnl Ceremonx.

AT the burial recently of the Queen
Dowager Amalia Auguste OF Saxony,
the Imperial Prince Frederick VIII
liam OF Germany was the most con-
spicuous figure. He seemed to tower
above all his royal companions In
stature, and surpassed all in dignity of
carriage aud manly beauty. When
the funeral procession in the church
arrived ut the altar, the coffin was car
ried down into the royal vault, which
was hung with black velvet, on which
sparkled the royal crown. The princes
alone witnessed the melancholy and
impressive ceremony In the interior OF
the vault. The bishop knocked at the
innermost door, whereupon q deep,
sepulchral voice answered: "Wh0
troubles the quietness of the dead?p
The Bishop: "a queen wishes to en-
terri The voice: its she worthy OF
this sacred abode?n The bishop hav-
ing replied In the affirmative, the door
was opened by unseen hands. This
ceremony reminds one Of the trial OF
dead Egyptian kings.

The unprecedented rains this month,
which seem likely to continue into
next, have delayed, and are delaying
the work on the Dallas and Wichita
railroad. Dr. Reed Ia pushing the work
with his well-known and unequalled
energy, but he cannot perform impos-
sibillties, and 1t is impossible to haul
the cr0as.ties necessary, before the
track is extended beyond Trinity Milla,
while Elm Fork bottom, (where the
ties are being made,) Is in It's present
DOGGY condition. The bad weather and
high water also prevents the construc-
ton OF the bridge across Elm Fork,
and while that remains unfinished,
and we are informed that 1t cannot
