AWAIT DEVELOPMENTS

for reasonable time until the problem has
been fairly solved. The people OF the State
have the right to demand that their freights
be carried at the lowest figure that will Sc
cure TO the stockholders who have invested
their money in railroad enterprises reason
able and Just dividends upon the invest
ment.
While on this point desire to remark,
further, that | am aware that cons iderable
disquietude has been manifested by our
people in reference TO our great State pro-
perry. ;he Western aud Atlantic railroad,
growing out OF the extensive combinations
and consultations OF the railroad interests,
and the rapid changes which have been
made in the ownership OF the different lines
connecting with our State system, and
especially with the Western and Atlantic
railroad.
| have looked carefully into the lease and
to the act providing Tor the lease Of the
WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAILROAD,
and find that all determinations against
persons or corporations in this State are
positively forbidden by that act. 1t will be
my purpose 10 see that this act is faithfully
carried out in letter and spirit.
The Western and Atlantic railroad is a
great public highway, connecting the trans
pOrtation lines between the coast and the
west, and it should be perpetually used as
an open highway over which every person
and every railroad company should have an
equal right 10 pass upon terms OF perfect
equality. To carry out this object it will
be very important that the State should re-
tain at all times the control OF this great
highway In her own hands. | am, there
fore, opposed TO the
SALE OF THE WESTERN AND ATLANTIC RAIL-
ROAD,
and should not hesitate TO withhold my sig
nature as the Executive OF Georgia from
any act providing for the sale OF the road,
or OF any disposition Of ii that puts IL be-
yond the power OF the State to keep il open
alike to the use Of all corporations and all
citizens upon terms Of perfect equality.
While these remarks are probably not
ELECTED by your communication, they relate
TO subjects OF public Interest so momen-
tous in their character that feel | am due
no apology for having made this public
statement in reference to my position and
policy on these vital issues.
Feeling grateful for the continued mani
festation Of the respect and confidence OF
the people OF Georgia, as shown by their
endorsement in primary meetings and the
action OF the Democratic Convention,
take fresh courage for the work that is be-
fore me; and as feel that have been true
TO the Interests Of Georgia In the past,
will not falter In the discharge OF duty in
the future.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Christmas in England.

In England, Christmas Is celebrated
so 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
ians 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
unlucky day. They chose, therefore,
the period Of the SatUTnala, when half
the heather population was mad with the
excitement Of enacting revelTy 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
itatiYely 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 condeseend to play the part Of
children all over again. They seem to
recover a remarkable elasticity Of step;
their smiles are indiscriminately be
slowed on all around them; their hearts
warm with the generous feelings Of their
long past prime, and the selhshness o.
old age is for the time subdued They
encourage the Little ones in those noisy
romps which at any other season would
give them the headache or prove intol-
erabIe TO their nerves; they behold with
out a gesture Of angry reproOf the kiss
ing beneath the mistletOe. But If the
cold people" be thus pleasantly intiu-
enced by the advent Of Christmas, how
is it with the young? Who can depict
the full sense Of happiness enjoyed by
the youthful Of both sexes at this season
of the year! It Is not only holiday IN
respect to school, but it is a holiday
in the midst of holidays-an extra feast
occurring in the midst Of a series Of fesl-
vals-the crowning of the brow with
flowers in the midst Of a delicious garden
Of floral sweets.

Christmas CaroIs.

In Shakespeare time carols were sung
in the streets at night during Christmas
by the waits, or watches, who expected
to receive gifts for their singing. Many
writer. Of old times and customs refers
to the ''wakefUl kstches Of Christmas
Eve. 1t was after the Reformation that
they ceased to sing Latin hymns in the
churches, and substituted the sweet
Christmas carols. For there were two
kinds Of carols In vogue-those Of a
devotional nature, which were sung not
only IN the churches, but also through
>the-sreats from house to house upon
Christmas Eve, and even alter that morn
ing and evening, until Twelfth Day.
In those times men were able to spare
more than one brief day for the celebra-
ton Of Christmas, and kept up the
festival for at least twelve days. Other
carols were Of a iveher nature, and were
especially adapted to the revel and the
feast where the lord Of nlisrule had
potent sway. These carols were also
called wassail-songs, and probably
originated among the AnglO-NOrmaus,
who were Of convivisl nature. No
Christmas entertainment was complete
without the Joyous singing Of carols, and
thence came the motto, no Song, no
Supper, " for every geuest at the table
was expected to join In the carol One
Of the rules laid down by the ancient
customs was that ''the ancientest master
Of the revel Is, after dinner and supper,
to sing q carol, a song, and to command
the other gentlemen present to sing with
him and the companies. F"

PLEASANT Remembrnnoas-


. Sitting here, I find myself holding a
levee Of departed Christmas nights. ST.
lently, into my study Of imagination
come these appautions, clad In snowy
mantles, brOoched and gemmed with
frosts. Their numbers I do not care to
count, for they are the number Of my
years. The yisages Of some are sad
enough; but, on the whole, It's g con-
gregatiOn of Jolly ghosts. I hear a sound
as Of light music, q whisk Of WOmen's
dresses whirled around In dance, and the
click as Of glasses pledged by friends.
Before one apparitiOn IS a mound on
which the snow is lying. I know that
spring Of mistletOe o, spirit IN the
midst! Under 1t I swung the girl I loved
and kissed her, too. And thou, too,
with trencher In hand; I remember thy
relgning night. Where now are the
many boys and girls that thrust their
fingers in thy blaze?
The kindly Christmas tree, from which
I trust every gentle reader VII pull g
bOn-tOn or two, Is already sparkling with
the sweet fruits Of its season. You.
young ladies, viii pluck giftEnas fruits
from IT.; and with. the sugar-plum you
vii tind one OF those delicious cOnun-
drums, which the confectioners intro
duce into the sweetmeats, and which ap-
ply to the cunning passion of love.
There are some standing about the tree
who don't care about the Iove-riddle part.
Patience, little -peoplel a dozen Christ
masses more and you VIII be reading
those wonderful conUndrums. As for US
older folks, we watch the young people
pulling at the branches; but we no long
er reach for the fruits, and for Us the
Christmas lights have mostly gone out

Christmas SupergtIfIon.

The superstiions connected with
Christmas are many and full of interest.
In reference to it almost every people,
and indeed every community, have their
pet sayings and signs. Stories in con-
necEon with birds and beasts are abund-
ant Shakespeare, encouraging the
idea Of the influence in the lower order
of animals, refers to the tradition that at
midnight Of Christmas Eve, at the crow
ing Of the cock, evil spirits fOrsake the
earth and seek their own places.
In a western part of DevOnshire, En-
gland, q notion prevails that at twelve
o'clock at night on Christmas Eve, the
oxen in their stalls are always found
upon their knees as if IN devotion, while
what Is more remarkable In the super
stition is that since the the change of
stvIe they are found In kneeling postures
only on Christmas Day. An honest
countryman, living on the edge Of st.
Stephens Down, near LauncestOn, Corn
wall. saws that he, with some others,
once made a trial Of the oxen on Christ
mas Eve, and, watching several in their
stalls at the appointed hour, observed
the Oldest two fall upon their knees and
make "a cruel moan ike Christians. ="
There is an old picture in which the
oxen Of the stable are represented In
supplicant position on their knees, and
doubtless this picture originated the
fabulous story Of the honest country
man.
