Christmas In England.

In England, Christmas is celebrated
30 regularly and SO joyously, that few
perhaps are aware of the difficulties
once in the way of establishing this glad
festival, or of the various names under
which it has been honored. Towards
the end of the first century, the Christ
lans first found means and courage to
make due observance of the anniversary
OF the nativity of their great Master. It
would have been death to them to mourn
when the Roman Empire was rejoicing,
or to wear signs of gladness on a pagan
mlucky day. They chose, therefore,
the period of the Saturnalia, when half
the heathen population was mad with the
excitement OF enacting revelry or wit
Messing its enactment. According to
some writer's, the Church authorized the
observance of the festival of the Ma
tivity on the 25th of December as early
as the middle of the second century.
Others assert that it was not till the
fourth century that the season for glad
and grateful observance was thus author
ltatlvely determined; and we believe
that the latter opinion is the correct one
Christmas is the great holiday Of the
year, when even grandpapas and grand
mammas condescend to play the part of
children all over again. They seem to
recover remarkable elasticity of step;
their smiles are indiscriminately be.
slowed on oil around them; their hearts
warm with the generous feelings of their
long past prime, and the selfshness of
old age is for the time subdued. They
encourage the little ones in those noisy
romps which at any other season would
glye them the headache or prove intol-
cradle to their nerves; they behold with
out gesture Of angry reproof the kiss
ing beneath the mistletoe. But if the
"old people" be thus pleasantly infu.
enced by the advent Of Christmas, how
is it with the young? Who can depict
the full sense ofhappiness enjoyed by
the youthful of both sexes at this season
of tho yeart 1t is not only holiday in
respect to school, but it is holiday
in the midst Of holidays-an extra feast
occurring in the midst of o series of festi-
vels-~the crowning of the brow with
flowers in the midst OF . delicious garden
of floral sweets. e.a

Two Patrlarchal Apple Trees.

In Skowhegan, Me-, are two russet
apple trees; the Oldest was planted in
1862. The tree is seven feet from the
ground to the branches, five in number,
all of which are very large and average
thirty-fv feet in length, covering a
space of ground sixty-three feet in
diameter. In these branches play
house for children has been built for
half century or more. Anywhere from
the ground to the branches it measures
thirteen and half feet. The tree is
more than four and half feet in diane
ter, and it has been good bearer-from
twenty-five to thirty-fve bushels of ap-
pies have been picked from it each year.
But the frost and rain have made seam
in the branches, and recently one of
them has broken, but the other four are
green and bring forth their fruit in due
season. The other tree, forty-eight
years younger, is o sproUt of the old
tree. 1t stands thirty-two feet from the
old tree, and bears the same kind of
apples, is three feet in diameter, and
perfect in every way.

The Money Power.

ED. DEMOCRAT: The President says in his message "the amount of the National debt which natures in less than two years is $792,121, TOO, of which $500,000, ,000 bear interest at the rate of five per cent, and the rest is in bonds bearing 6 per cent in- terest. A little further on he says: The coinage 'of silver dollars since the passage of the act for that pur- pos mp to Nov. 1st, 1874, $45, ,000, $50, of which $21, ,700,344, have been is. sued from the treasury and are now in circulation, and $32, ,200,506 are still in possession of the government
 Now does he recommend the us- ing of these silver dollars to pay of this debt as soon as It matures9 No, he does not, but only it's refund ing in . new bond. Now 1 hope tha, every man in tho United States who has the interest of the nation at heart will oppose this recommends ton of the President. and unite in one loud and determined voice foi the payment of these bonds at matu
 rity. I have no time, even if l claim ed the ability to elaborate upon thi' proposition. but think we should de mand that this indebtedness should be paid at maturity. Shall the gov ernment be allowed to accumulate the money by the million and con tinue to heap upon the shoulders of labor . bonded indebtedness The idea is preposterous. National bonded indebtedness was invented by rascals for the purpose of plunder ing the people, and we'll has it sue ceeded. It has pauperized the fair est portions of the Old World and bound its toilers to the wheels O bonded and insolent aristocracy And the same claims are being for
 ged for us. Shall we sit until the, are rivtted on our wrists or will VI arise and swear that the shackles O money power must be broken, anc that the time has come when mar must earn his living and cease tt steal it through forms of law.

Timed Politicians.

At the organization of the Sher. man Club in this city Saturday evening, Q resolution condemning a third term was voted down.
 A Sherman club which votes down g resolution against third term might as well be called Grant club. Its promoters evidently want to secure tho friendship of Mir Sherman without alienating the Grant party. Their action has the effect to strengthen Grant, because i, is an advertisement of their own weakness. It is, also an avowal tha, they are actuated by mere person al preference, and not by a great principle.
 The Grant men will conquer be. cause they have courage. They fear nothing and nobody. They openly avow their abandonment of all the notions and traditions which have heretofore prevailed in this country, and declare thelr determination to have stronger government, and to have it in the person of Gen. Grant.
 Either Blaine or Sherman running distinctly on the principle of op position to a third term would be much stronger than either of them now is.-New York Sun.
