~ Another nuisance has invaded the United
States, from England. 1t is called the "Salva-
tion Army" aud is composed of villainous look
ing men and ugly women, wearing fantastic
dresses, and sloshing around the degraded quar-
tiers, trying to pray the outcasts into respecta-
bility, after the manner of the Temperance
Crusaders. One would think there was enough
vice in England to demand ALT heir labors, but
perhaps they want change of pasture and vic
Tins. Ten to one, Gov. st. John will have them
in Kansas, before the season is over, helping
him in his prohibition crusade, and billetting
them upon the people.

e In old times, there used to be much said
about the celebrated Northern Tier" The
Tier" generally came up solid on every ques-
tion, and was power in the State. She is still
solid. Look at her. There she stands. Every
County on the northern line of the State, from
the Missouri River TO the jumping-off- place,
sends solid Blaine delegation to the State Con-
vention-not Grant man in the crowd. And
every County rolls up rousing Republican ma
iority at election time

WORSE THAN TIE PrzzLE.-The '15 puzzle
is nowhere, compared with the calculations of
the egineers Of the Grant boom. To let them
tell it, all the delegates instructed for Grant
are for him, solid all the delegates not instruc-
ted, are for Grant and of the delegates instruc-
ted for Blaine, most are for Grant. The Texas
Convention refused to instruct for Grant. This,
they say, makes Texas solid for him. Rhode
Island elected delegates who are known to be
in favor of Blaine, but did not instract. This
proves that they are not for Blaine. Kansas
has chosen Convention composed two-thirds
of Blaine men. This shows that the delegation
to Chicago will be divided between Blaine and
Grant. Great is the game of bluff!

20 The Grant fellows tell MS that it will never
do to nominate Blaine-he is too unpopular; he
has been guilty of crookedness; his nomination
would force the party on the defensive. But
they also tell that ticket composed of
Grant for President and Blaine for Vice. Presi-
dent would be invincible. But just how such u
bad man as Blaine, hiiched in a team with
pure man like Grant, whose political life has
been free from jubbery and scandals, would
make an iuvineble team, is more than anybody
except a Grant hummer can make ont

NEW YORK NOT EvERYTHING.-Conkling bav-
ing bnlldozed New York for Grant, the Grant
fellows now insist that the Blaine States should
stand back, and let the doubtful States, like
New York, nominate man who can carry those
States. Grant was elected in 1865, and New
York went against him. We believe that Blaine
could carry New York. 1t might be that Conk-
ling's influence could give it to the Democratic
candidate; but better defeat than submission
to such tyranical dictation. Don. Cameron could
not carry Pennsylvania against Blaine, and every
other Northern State would go for him. With
these, he could be elected without New York,
with New Jersey or Connecticut thrown in. But
he would carry them. He would carry every
State from the Missouri River to the Pacific
Ocean. A ticket with Blaine and Ben. Harrison
would carry Indiana by sweeping majority.
1t would fire the Northern heart to such de-
gree that CoDklng would be powerless for mis-
chief in New York, even if he dared oppose the
ticket. The solid North would be for Blaine.
The solid South will be for the Democratic NOM
inee, against Grant or any other man.

Perhaps there was never so great demand
in this village for Christmas greens as there
has been recently, nor more trouble in getting
ground pines.
-Christ''s church will be decorated as usual
for Christmas and festival held for the Sum-
day school.
The Congregational Church too is to be
draped with evergreens: Christmas tree will

of tie Sunday school on'the Christina Eve,
and next Sunday the pastor, Mr.. Croft, will
preach sermon appropriate to the season.
"A number of years ago, the twenty fifth
of December failing on Sunday, the writer at
tended Baptist meeting, when the preacher
took occasion to give an anti-Christmas dis
course. He argued that the observance OF
Clristmas was Papish superst tion, andnn-
worthy Protestant people That there was
no evidence that Christ was born in December,
that in point of fact, the evidence was against
by night, which they would not have been
doing at that season of the year. If there were
an error in the date, the fact that the Savior
was born is generally adritted, and it seems
aproper thing for Christians to celebrate the
event as generally as they now do.

 The Berlin Borsen zeitung says that the of quite fabulous value, the news of whose ex- public by the reports of the last session of the Polytechnic Society. This noble stone is a sapphire, and is the property of one of the members of that learned body. It weighs t'124 loth''-a little more than six ounces. The jury of the Polytechnic Society, on grounds stated in full at their discussion, have settled it's value at the frightful sum of sixty four millions of marks, or three millions two hun dred thousand pounds of English money. It need hardly be said that such treasure is not very likely to find a purchaser at such 8 price.
 It is contended by some of the adopts that the stone is not perfectly pure, so that its price may, perhaps, be reduced; but it can never be so far lowered es to tempt the rich- est and most eccentric collector in the world to give anything like the sum which must be asked for it. In the year 1872 Berlin min- eralogist offered to go as far as b1, ,500 marks, but in vain, as the unique jewel had already been refused in 1860 to German Prince who had offered far larger price. It's present possessor has placed his treasure in State cus- tody for the sake of his heir, as the Borsen Zeitung says; though we imagine that its fu- ture owner will not find it easy to realize any, thing more solid than distinction out of his very exceptional piece Of property. All tie experts who have scrutinized the sapphire agree that it is a genuine oorundum.
