handsome old mansion ON the outskirt
of the city. Here, at "whish- sh" from
their master they stopped STILL
"This is the place" said Santa. "Climl
into my pack"
Chubby climbed in.
IAN I heavy ?" he asked.
GAS heavy as an elephant" said Santa
II can't carry you. Pm glad of it, though
it's sign there going to like YOU"
"What shall I do, then ?"
Garry yourself"
(which way ?"
up the rain-spout."
"lnside or outside 2"
"Outside, of course. Follow me-"
Santa climbed nimbly up, and Chubby
followed him as well as he could; but
when he had got about thirty feet from the
ground his strength began to fail, and he
felt sure he would have to drop. He look
ed up and saw Santa looking down down at
over the edge of the roof
"Climb little higher" said he, "and
yyu can reach my hand"
u can't" said Chubby; and with that he
walked up.
1t was broad daylight. Mike was TAX
ing down the shutters, and Mr.. Marsh, who
had just come in, stood by the stove look
ing down at Chubby.
ut was only dream after ALL" said
Chubby, jumping up and rubbing his
eyes.
"What was dream 2" asked Mr.. Marsh,
"Will you tell it to me?"
Chubby related the dream, and Mr..
Marsh listened with great interest, all tn e
while studying Chubby's face and thinking
very hard.
There's stuff in him, that's very clear"
said the merchant to himself
"What, sir 7" said Chubby.
Chubby" said Mr.. Marsh, "do you like
selling papers for living 2"
"It's the best can do, SIR"
but suppose l could help you to do
something better-to become merchant,
for instance 2"
II should like it very much, SIR"
swell, I've been thinking about it since
last night, Chubby, and have taken no.
ton that you might make a pretty fair
merchant. If it would suit you, I'm"-
"Oh, it would suit me, sir, I'm very
sure"
"Well, then, I'll give you place right
here in the store"
you're very kind, SIR"
"That remains to be seen. l may be
doing you kindness, and may be doing
myself one; perhaps both; perhaps neither
We can tell better by and by"
And so, after more talk than it is neces-
sary to relate, it was arranged that Club
by should become clerk in the store; and
better still, that he should, for the present at
least, board in Mr.. Marsh's family.
"And how about the sled ?" asked Mr..
Marsh.
II think, sir" said Chubby, "that /
would like to do as did in the dream, and
give it to somebody that needs it more
than do"
do you know such one 2"
ooh, Yes, sir. There's limping Peter,
that used to belong to our club, and got
run over by dray. l shall give it to
him."
And so Chubby Rufus Dream came true
the best part of it at least. He got
Christmas present of home, and began his
more prosperous life by doing little good
for Jesus sake.

lis there letter here for me 2" asked
an ancient female OF a postoffice employee
yesterday. Inquiring her name, the obi,
cling clerk answered:
"Yes, ma'am nine cents postage due on
it too"
Eyes, sir. Would you be so good as to
read it, for me 2"
The obliging clerk opened the billet,
which proved to be eleven pages of FOOLS
cap, and after wading patiently through it
the old lady drew long breath, and re-
marking:
"All right, young man, don't believe l
will take it," walked out, leaving the as
tonished clerk with the voluminous docu
ment and innocent postage bill on his
lily white hands.

Christmas Day.

Glorious day, once more thy coming
Fills the Christians heart with Joy;
Sweet and holy memories bringing,
Christ our King our thoughts employ.
Bethlehem's star again before us
Rises bright, undimmed, and clear,
Angel voices round us whisper
Christ, our Lord and King, is here.
Not as once within manger,
Will we find our Prince again,
But DER death and grave triumphant,
In the courts of heaven He reigns.
Once again WE'LL fall before Him,
Like the shepherds at His birth,
When He comes with power and glory,
Righteously to judge the earth.
Don't forget the second Advent
- Keep your wedding garments pure,
Trim your lamps and grid your armor.
For His promises are sure.
Don't neglect the charge He gave you,
Feed the hungry, sick and poor;
Christians, these are all His people
Never turn them from your door
Think that lie who for our ransom,
Bled and died on Calvary,
Said, when you the needy comfort
Eye have done 1t unto Me-"
Let His lambs be told the story.
Always new and strange to them;
Tell them once the Lord of Glory
Was Babe, at Bethlehem
In lowly manger Graded,
Rough and meagre was His bed,
Where the wondering shepherds found Him,
BY the star of Bethlehem led
Tell them how He came to save them,
For their sakes He bled and died,
Crowned with thorns and Knocked bv rabble.
Christ, the Lord, was crucifed.
Now their hearts are young and tender
And their minds are not astray,
Tell to them the blessed story
Angels sing on Christmas Day.

Il don't care much for a quiet baby,
but dote on squalling one, said an old
bachelor. Why, how strange admiringly
chorused all the mothers present. Not at
all, responded the bachelor; because, you
see, as soon as child begins to squall it's
always taken from the room.

Legislation Against Tramps.

We cannot do what the French Govern
ment once did under similar circumstances
Danish $4,000 of them to colonial servi-
tude; an it is great pity that we cannot.
If we could gather the whole disgusting
multitude, wash them, put new clothes
upon them, and under military surveillance
and direction set them to quarrying stone,
or raising corn and cotton for ten years, we
might save some of them to decency and
responsibility, and relieve the honest peo-
pie of the country of their presence and
their support. If we cannot do this, how
ever, there are things that we can do
Every State in the Union can gather these
men, wherever found, into work houses
where they can be restrained from soaring
and preying upon the community and
made to earn the bread they eat and the
clothes they wear. 1t is necessary, OF
course, to throw away all sentimentality in
connection with them. The tramp is a
man who can be approached by no motive
but pain-the pain of thrashing or the
pain by hunger. He hates work; he has
no self-respect and no shame; and by
counting himself permanently out of the
productive self-supporting forces of
society, he counts himself out of his
rights. He has no rights but those which
society may see fit of its grace to bestow
upon him. He has no more rights than
the sow that wallows in the gutter, or the
lost dogs that hover around the city
squares. He is no more to be consulted, in
his wishes or his will, in the settlement OF
the question as to what is to be done with
him than il he were bullock in a cor
raj.
Legislation concerning this evil seems to
have been initiated in various States. but
at this writing we cannot learn that any
| thing effective has been done. 1t would
be well if the States could work in concert
in this matter, but one great State like
New York, or Pennsylvania, or Ohio, has
| only to inaugurate stringent measure to
drive all the other States into measures
that shall be its equivalent. The tramp
whose freedom is imperilled in New York
will fly to New Jersey or New England,
and New Jersey and New England will be
obliged to protect themselves. SO one
powerful State can compel unanimity of
action throughout the country. The legis-
lature of New York had bill up year
ago which came to nothing. We hope the
nresent session will see something done,
i uut legislators have so many things to do
besides looking after the public safety and
the public morality, that we are quite pre-
pared to hear that this matter will be over
looked. But something must be done,
somewhere, very soon, if we propose to
have anything like safety and comfort in
our homes, or to relieve ourselves of great
burden of voluntary, vicious, and even ma
licious pauperism.-Dr. Holland in Serb
Rer.

THE ORMSBY HOUSE.

We find the following complimentary men

ReueiHe of Tuesday: "We are in receipt, with
the compliments of John T. Pantlind, the
wide awake proprietor of that hostelrie, of a
picture showing the Ormsby House in Car,
son as it was in 1860, in 1862 and 1872 As
it was in the last named year it is now, ex-
teriorly, but as regards the interior and man
agement there has been a great change since
Mr.. Pantlind assumed the proprietorship,
and the house is now everything that a first
class hotel should be, being conducted in reg
ular metropolitan style. In former years,
during sessions of the legislature, people who
cared for their own comfort have made it a
point to stay away from the Ormsby, if they
could get any other place of shelter; but the
management of that house is now so much
changed for the better, that visitors to Car
son who put up at it will find the accommoda-
lions and service and the etceteras as good as
at any of the first class San Francisco hotels

before. At the examination, the day follow
ing the robbery, Honeyman claims to have
recognized both Bell and Donnolly. While
living on their faces Honeyman moved his
head, the blanket not covering him as 1t did the
others. and one of the robbers, described as the
tallest, said: eff you don't cover up your
head I'll cover it for you" or language
amounting to this. The tall one Honeyman
swore was Bell The driver of the stage, as
we'll as Hughes, who sat along side the driver,
testified to the circumstances of the robbery,
size of the men. and other matters, but did
not recognize any of the robbers. The other
two passengers, a couple of Cornishmen, have
never appeared as witnesses. Other witnesses
were examined for the prosecution showing
suspicious conduct on the part of tho defend
ant about the time of the robbery.
The strong points of the defense lay in an
aibi and an attempt to break down the testi-
mony of Honeyman.
In the foregoing we have not even attemp-
ted to epitomize the testimony, which was
quite voluminous, but have tried to give a
sort of comprehensive glance at some of the
principal features as we from time to time
have cleaned them. The case has been ably
managed on both sides and we doubt if any
point has been overlooked, either by the pros
ecution or defense.

THE C. c. s. r. CASE.

There Is q possibility that one reader of the
MORNING APPEAL (the only religious, etc. ),
may not be familiar with some of the facts
connected with the Cherry Greek mail rob
berry, and for the benefit of this blissfully ig-
1orant one, if such there be, we give a brief
history of it;
On the night of November 21st, 1877, be-
tween 6 and 9 o'clock, the Humboldt Wills
and Cherry Creek stage was stopped within
about one mile of the latter place by three
masked highwaymen. The passengers, four
In number, were ordered off and out of the
backs, and they were made to lie on the
ground, also being covered with blanket,
face downwards, while the roadsters went
through the mail bag but failed to open the
express box. We almost forgot to mention
that they relieved the passengers of what
money and small articles they had, getting
from the four about one hundred and seventy
Eve dollars. 1t would seem, according to the
testimony of Leonard, one of the principal
witnesses for the prosecution, that there was
knowledge of contemplated robbery of the
stage that night, for he so informed Paul
Mitchell, agent for Wells, Fargo & Co., at
Cherry Creek that night.
On the night of the robbery several parties
were arrested on suspicion, among them W.
T. Bell, George Wilson and Felix Donnolly,
the latter known as "the Kid" The first
named was part proprietor of hurdy house
in Cherry Greek; Wilson did odd jobs around
Day & Leonard's butcher shop, in back
room of which he slept at night; and Don
molly was a sort of man about town. The
warrant for the arrest of these parties was
sworn out at the instigation of Wells, Fargo
& Go. They had an examination, rather
curiously conducted affair, before a Justice
on the day following the robbery, and were
discharged The parties left Cherry Greek
sometime after this, at different periods and
going their respective ways. detective Was
sent from below to work up the case, and they
were arrested a second time on complaint
charging tliem with robbing the United States
mail Bell was arrested in Eureka, Wilson
near Hamilton, and "the Kid at Spruce
Mountain.
They were tried here in the United States
District Court about two months ago, Judge
Hinyer presiding, U. S. District Attorney
VariaH and Attorney General Kittreli con-
Quoting the prosecution and Gen. Clarke aP-
pearing for defendants. The case was fought
with telling blows on both sides, if we may
Gull flower from the P. R. garden, and the
jury failed to agree, standing eleven for con-
yiction to one for acquittal.
The second trial, now closing, has been
pretty close repetition of the first. True,
some new witnesses have been introduced, by |
the prosecution as we'll as by the defense. but
We doubt If either side of the case was great
ly strengthened by its new testimony.
Peter HOneyman, apassenger in the coach,
was the principal witness for the prosecution.
He swore to having recognized George Wilson
1t the time Of the robbery, knowing him
eel, having rOomed with Wilson sometime
