HONORABLE OLD AGE.

Oldest Citizens.
Alt. Sandcrson's Shippcnsburg Chronicle
In tho Lancaster INTEILIGENCER of
Monday last is the following short para
graph
Mr.. John F. Stcinman is % years old
to-day"
Far beyond tho Psalmist's allotted pc
riod has lived one of the most successful
business men of Pennsylvania. For many
years he was the head of probably the
most extensive hardware firm in Pennsyl-
vania, established by his father more than
a century ago. We refer to the establish
ment of Steinman & Co, Lancaster.
What made Mr.. Stcinman so sue
cessful, and now, in his extreme old
age, SO much respected by his fellow
citizens? Honor, probity and reliability.
John F.Steinman never knew, or if he did
would never practice, the "tricks Of the
trade" Throughout his long and useful
life his word has been as good as his bond,
and the farmers and mechanics and bust
ness men of Lancaster county more than
two generations ago had formed their es-
innate of him, that of an honest man,
and helped him to build up the enor-
nous business which is still retained by
the present firm. Such men as the late
John G.. Bremen, of Philadelphia, and
Isaac ii. StOuffer, of New Orleans, the
head Of the largest hardware house in the
whole south, had their training under his
eye. God bless the old man,

At st. Stephens Evangelical Lutheran
church very extensive arrangements had
been made to greet the nativity of our
Lord by 4 Christmas decoration, A great
Gothic arch spanned the chancel, and the
church was also very handsomely decor
ated with evergreens. Full Christmas SER
vice was rendered, with sermon by the
pastor, Rev. E. Meistcr, from the text
Luke, H., 10, II.
The Sunday school celebration on Sun.
day evening in St. Stephens church, was
more than ordinarily interesting. The
attendance was quite large the body of
the church was nearly filled with the schol-
ars and teachers of the Sunday school
the members of the congregation occu-
pied the side seats and the galleries. Two
beautiful trees stood at the right side on
the pulpit which were filled from top to bot
tom with handsome toys, &c. The exercises
consisted of prophecy, reading of the Scrip
ture and the events of the birth of Christ
and the jubilant commemoration of the
fact by chants, hymns and responses. An
address by the pastor, Rev. E. Meister, was
delivered and. ..attentively listened to. The
basket collection in the evening resulted in
$3.50. On Second Christmas Day Eyes.

1t must be admitted that the new

a good deal of caution i'm recognizing
the administration cntailed upon him by
what Senator Edmunds called g the lot
terry of assassination lie is accom-
plishing all that his Stalwart friends an
ticipated, and as much as the other side
appreherded, without giving them any
special particular political advantage:
such rs they expected would certainly
ensue in case the Garfield cabinet was
displaced. The prime minister, upon
whose performance in office all the po-
litical hopes of his friends were fixed. is
succeeded by third terlner: so is the
stiff-backed MacVeagh; and Conkling's
friend is the dispenser OF tue power
full patronage of the treasury depart
ment; James makes room for a devoted
henchman of the Grant regime, and the
father-iu law of one of the star reuters
counsel; and now Sargent and
William L. Chandler are talked of for
other places in the cabinet The Stall
warts control the House and Senate, and
and it is now limited that the next stroke
will lie the elevation of FOlger to the
supreme bench, his succession by COnk-
ling, the nomination of Collector Rob
ertson for governor of New York, the
appointment of Cornell to Germany, and
the placing of a thick-and-thin Conk-
ling man i'm the custom house. In the
proposed comforting of honors and pro-
fits upon Chandler and Robertson, two
of B!aine's next friends, the presidents
sagacity is just as evident as in taking
Brewster for attorney general and Gray
for judge. In the latter cases the fitness
of the appOinteeS disarmed all criticism
upon their political status, and if he as
signs high places to Chandler and Rob
ertson, it will break the force of good
many disappointments, possibly win
a section of Blaine's friends to the sup
port of the administration and secure for
it control of that great political lever the
New York custom house. Chandler
never Was reconciled to his slaughter in
the Senate, permitted by the Garfield al
ministration to appease MacVeagl,, and
if he now has salve put on his wounds
by a stranger hand New Hampshire is as
likely to lie swung into the Stalwart
column as Ohio will be led there by the
speakership. With these allied to New
York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Virginia and other states that they can
manipulate, the Stalwarts have grip for
1884 which their opponents cannot loose.
