In Its Own Light.

A good illustration of the way in
which the south stands in it's own light
is furnished by the action of an agent
of one of the prominent German steam
ship lines, who came to Washington to
discover in what part of the country his
company could purchase tracts of forest,
and open extensive works for preparing
all kinds of ship timber. He was in
formed that he could get the lands he
wanted in Alabama at low figure, and
conyenient of access, but, though con-
WINGED himself that he could cut timber
there without molestation, he said that
his company, like other European capt.
talists, could not be persuaded to trust
their money or representatives in that
section: The belief is general in Europe,
he said, that the south is in an unsettled
condition, and that rights of person and
property are constantly disregarded, es-
pecially where outsiders are concerned.

THE CALIFORNIAN FOR 1879.
The Price Reduced.

The CaIedOnian falls into line with the
general breakdown of high prices, and
for the year 1879, we shall furnish it
for $l.75, in Advance; or ninety cents
for six months. If payment is not made
in advance, the terms will be 50; but
no new subscriptions will be taken ex-
cept on advance terms.
Before the war the price of the Gale
DOMAIN was $3.50. In 1867 the paper
was enlarged one fourth in size; so
that in fact the CdledORian at S1.75
now is cheaper than it was before the
war ut $3.50.
We trust this reduction in price will
accomplish two results Bring every
one to advance payments, and also in
crease the number of subscribers. Uu-
less it shall effect both these results,
we cannot fail to lose money by this
change.
Subscribers out of the county will
remit fifteen cents additional for post
age, as the postage on the Caledonian
is Is cents year, although we have
heretofore charged only ten cents.
Subscribers who have already paid
for six months or more in advance, will
he credited pro rata, according to new
terms. Clubbing terms with other
periodicals will be reduced accordingly.
Let there be no misunderstanding
Subscribers nOw IN arrears must pay ar
reardges at old rates.
For convenience in remitting, we
will give credit for one year and seven
weeks for $500, to subscribers in the
county, and one year and three weeks
for $500 to subscribers without the
county.

A Face at the Window.
Christmas comes but once a year,

Christmas comes but once a year.
And when he comes he brings good cheer.
George Herbert.
There is face looking in at your
window, reader, well worthy the study
OF sculptor and artist. The phrenolo-
gist, by an examination of the head.
would discover the organs of BenevO-
lence, VeneratiOn, Hope, in their fullest
development. The hand of the well
come stranger is open wide, and filed
with treasure-gifts from many a distant
cline. Families gather at the old
homes to greet him; the wheels of labor
stand still at the sound of his football ;
and streams of generosity flow out from
the heart at the touch of his fingers.
Over eighteen hundred years ago. when
the angels sang at Bethlehem, .'GlOry
to God in the highest; peace on earth,
good Will to men, he caught the notes
of the song, and has circled the world
each yeaI since then with its heavenly
melody. He is looking in at your win
dow now, on his annual round. His
message is peace, good will. The di-
vine benevolence streaming from the
cross and reflected by his face, flashes
through to every home, waking de-
sire in the hearts of rich and poor to
initiate Him who ''gave his only be-
gotten son, that whatsoever believeth
on him might not perish, but have ever
lasting life"
Christmas bears our hearty greetings
tOyOu all. We have given you of our best
all through the year. Give us in return
your heartier cooperation for remem-
Der, that the pure press of the age is
destined to be power, second only to
the pulpit, in accomplishing the desire
of man and the purpose of Coda uni
versal reign of righteousness, when the
swords shall be turned into plough
shares, and the spears into pruning
hooks, and the nations shall learn wal
no more.

The Stokes Trial.---Shall Crime be
Punished ?

An article upon the first page, con-
tanning criticism of the CaledOnian for
publishing a report of the Stokes trial,
we take in the spirit in which it was
written, remembering who our critic is,
the hOnOred profession as well as the
large constituency for whom be as
sumes to speak. We are not unmindful
either of the greater sinners lin the
writer's mind) whom he so soundly cas-
tigates over the CHIedOnian's shoulders.
He has much provocation in the pres
ent instance, and there are other de-
serving subjects in every direction.
The critique is unfair, though the
critic did not intend to be. There was
a vast difference between hearing the
evidence as received, and reading the
guarded report in CdledOnian but of
this no matter, as the writer could not
know that, although the Judge could.
The criticism referred to opens up a
subject which has been discussed more
or less for years, and about which even
pretty good men are divided in opinion
1t really resolves itself into this: Shall
a newspaper print the ne,osf We do not
propose now to settle this question.
Without further preamble, however, we
have word to say about this particu-
lar case. Our critic makes this case ex-
ceptiOnal so do we. The crime COM
mitted was exceptiOnal-it was against
society at large as well as individuals !;
and we agree with him on its enormity.
The man who committed it is therefore
an enemy to society and the best inter-
ests of our social life. 1t is understood
this man has boosted of the great
amount of this nefarious work which he
has committed. The public - every
law-abidiDg citizen-has therefore an
interest in this trial.
The case was feebly tried. The State
made an evident blunder in calling the
girl, as it was apparent by her testi-
mony that she had been tempered with
since she gave her testimony before the

The brutal roasting of two men in
Nebraska has thoroughly aroused the
people of that state, and the governor
offers a reward of $4,000 for the ap-
prehensiOn of the mnrderers. 1t seems
that the victims were chained to a pole
which lay horizontally above the
ground, and hanging from it they were
run into the fire. Their fiendish murder
appears to have been due to the deter
minatiOn of the cattle men to keep
homesteaders out of that country. Gus
ter, the most extreme northwest coun-
ty in the state, is almost exclusively
given up to cattle-ranges. The two
men burned to death had taken home

fearful threats made against them.

Considerably less than a week ago,
just as the shades of night had begun

manner. An obseryant looker-on might
have noticed o mans face appear 1t

events were transpiring, and quickly
disappear to return with an unhealthy-
looking shotgun. The implement Of
death was raised and sighted with the
precision Of a practiced marksman,
down went the trigger, bang went the
gun, over the fence went the feline. a.
IL it was a rather enjoyable everyday
amusement, while a shrill scream Of
terror, in q female voice, rose from the
rear Of the adjoining dwelline-house
To say that the mans feelings were ter
ribly worked up at this unfortunate
denoument would be drawing it very
mild. It was afterwards discovered

This morning about half past 1
O'Clock an alarm of fire was heralded
from McDaniels' theatre, resulting in
the collection of several hundred PEG
pie in the vicinity. An investigation
resulted n aseertaining that the fire
was among some kindlins wood in one
OF the rear rooms Of the old building
formerly used by the late Charles DEF
endorf, just adjoining and west Of the
theatre. All the FIRE companies were
promptly on the spot. and in almost less
time than it takes to tell it, the blaze
was extinguished. 1t is thought the
fire was occasioned by a lighted cigar
which some careless fellow had thrown
into the room. The escape Of the thea
tire from burning was a narrow one.

with his family en- route for Indiana,
with plenty of means to carry them
through had not Nj. Van Sandt taken
sick and died. This sad and unex-
pected event caused them to be rather
scarce of means, owing to expenses
necessary for his medical treatment,

plain and decent burial. Quite a num-
Der of citizens called and showed many
marks of kindness, and the family
desires them to accept their sincere
