A NIerrie Christm as.

Laugh and be merrie," the maxim of the
ancient philosopher, is the time-honored
formula for the observance of Christmas. 1t
was SO in the beginning and it will un-
doubtedly be so to the time when Christmas
shall be no more. There are, of course,
great many people in the world upon whom
this injunction of ancient philosophy will be
entirely lost. Almost every one can count
among his acquain tances one or more sour
visaged and still sourer souled persons who
never laughed in their lives to whom the
world seems to be o perpetual funeral pro-
cession and they the real or hired mourners.
Such persons are probably OF some use IN
this many hued and many sided thing We
call life, but we have never been able to
understand exactly what it is. Anyway,
they will be good persons to avoid this
pleasant Christmas morning, when the glad
tidings are ringing out on the crisp, bright
air, and millions of homes are happy and
full OF JOY, and the laughter OF millions OF
little ones is pcaling upward over all the
land. After all, for the one reason why we
should be sad there are in the lives of all OF
us one hundred and one thousand why we
should be merry. The trouble with most
of us is that we persist in looking at the
dark side Of the picture. There is silver
lining to every cloud; but we think only Of
the gloom and the darkness and the shadow.
1t is one of the beautiful and blessed attri-
butes of Christmas that it predisposes may,
compels--us to see only the sheen of the
silver lining. And if it brought us no other
gift than this it would still be the sweetest
and most precious Of days. The merry
making milestone, in our journey every
year, as we come to it this morning, let US
make it as it was intended it should be
made in deed as we'll as in name "a merrie
Christmas.

The Border Troubles.

General Sheridan's testimony as to the
condition of tho country on the Rio Grando
and the disposition Of the people on either
side OF the river has the value Of a stale
ment that rests on positive knowledge, and
must, we believe, be accepted as finally
puncturing the war balloon that has been so
industriously filled by the persons whose
interest it was to bring about a war with
Mexico. General Sheridan has no faith in
the reports of cattle stealing that have been
SO industriously spread, and directly afiirms
that the only invasion OF our soil from the
Mexican side was made by troops in pursuit
OF an expedition that had first crossed from
our own territory. This entirely puts the
outrage boot on the other leg, and the
more closely the case is examined the
more reason there is to believe that the
less We say about outrages in this. connec-
ton the better it will be eventually for our
own sclf-respect

Co,umbia's Crew Going to England.


Columbia, instead of being annoyed by
Harvard's refusal to row her, has decided to
enter the lists in contest which, in point
of general and even national interest, will
throw the Harvard Yale race and all the
other home events of the coming year quite
into the shade. Having had very success
ful season and confident that with her
present team she could have made very
brilliant work Of it even in the Centennial
races, she now purposes entering tho race
for amateur fours open to the world at
Henley on Thames, in the latter part OF
juno next. BY doing this she not only
avoids the elaborate and troublesome task
of a special contest like that OF Oxford and
Harvard in 1862 or Of the Atalanta and
London Rowing Club, but is in way to
meet crack teams. not from one university
alone, but from Oxford, Cambridge and
Dublin, besides the best British amateur
oarsmen outside of the universities, such
as those Of the London Rowing Club. This
is modest and sensible way of going to
work. and the encouragement already held
out by her friends in their patronage of the
Columbia ball at Delmonico's foreshadows
easy work in getting the requisite funds.

like best to meet, happen to be just now on

rains prevailed from the Mississippi Valley east
ward TO the Atlantic coast, and from the lake
region to the Gulf Foggncss extended from
the Middle Atlantic coast across the lake district
to the Upper Mississippi Valley. Indeed, the
aspect over u very wide area of territory was
extremely nniayorable. The northern belt Of
districts from Nova Scotia TO Montana had
very variable temperatures the thcr-
nometcr falling eastward and westward
from Minnesota. The highest pressure
continued over the Sc. Lawrence Valley and the
lowest in the Middle Mississippi Valley, fol
lowed from the southwestward by rising barom-
eter. The only portions where cloudincss did
not prevail in the forenoon were in New Eng
land and the British Atlantic provinces In the
afternoon. however, the rain and cloud area con-
tracted somewhat, especially from the south
westward. The temperature fell pretty gener-
ally, except in the lower Ohio Valley.
The lowest pressure is in the
Mississippi Valley, with q general northeasterly
movement. The weather in New York and its
vicinity today will be cooler and cloudy, or
partly cloudy, with threatening of rain To-
morrow 1t will be colder and cloudy. probably
