IT is asserted that the recent letter to
the New York Times giving such a glow
ing picture of our "rotten borough
and on which it based an editorial advo-
eating the annexation of Nevada to Cali
fornia, was written by a late editor of a
prominent Republican paper. The fact
that John Mackay, during the campaign,
threatened to boot the presumptive
writer, may have given him heart to un-
dertake the job of reformation, the need
Of which he did not discover until after
his own displacement.

A Political Anomaly.

A New York paper calls attention to the
following political anomaly: "New York
with 5,0s3, 173 inhabitants has thirty-five
votes in the two houses Of the National
Legislature. Each vote has behind it 49,
233 people. Each of Nevada's three votes
has behind it POTTS people. The inhabi-
tants of Nevada may therefore be said to
exercise seven times as much power in the
business of legislating for the United
States as one inhabitant Of New York.

THE time is rapidly drawing near when
through travel from the East to Mexico
can be made entirely by rail notwith-
standing the disagreement concerning the
junction between the two great compan-
les now laying their track across New
Mexico. The Southern Pacific is now
within eighteen miles of Ell Paso on the
west, and the Rio Grande Valley branch
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe is
but twenty miles away on the north, so
that in less than a month a through rail
route East will be established via Ell Paso.

Eighty Miners Discharged on the

AUSTIN, Feb. 2. The Sheriff of Lander

passenger train at Battle Mountain, to sat-
isfy a judgment Of s21, 900, delinquent
taxes for 1880, due from the Central Pa
ciic Railroad Company. As fast as trains
come in they are tied up by the Sheriff.
VIRGINIA CITY, February To-day
80 miners were discharged from the slopes
Of the Bonanza mines. There is little
likelihood of replacing them, as with few
exceptions the ore bodies have been worked
as long as the ore extracted would pay for
mining and milling. Some men are still
at work in the slopes.

A WASHINGTON dispatch states that it
has been positively asserted that Garfield
has never rendered the portfolio to
Blaine. An impression is growing that
Garfield is feeling his way along, and
that he is watching very closely the de-
velopment of public opinion as this or
that name is discussed. A Senator says
that Garfield was a little worried at the
display of Conkling's strength, as indi-
Gated by the election of Platt and at the
probable Conkling-H iscock alliance which
will make the latter Speaker. So wor-
ried is he that he is recasting his Cabinet.

THE cultivation of pampas grass, now

The cultivation of pampas grass, now
so much used for decorative purposes,
has become quite a profitable industry in
Southern California. Three-quarters of
an acre planted to pampas grass yielded,
at two and a half cents per head, $500.
Another grower sold all he could raise
at seven and a half cents per head. Last
year 10000 heads or plumes of this grass
were sold from that region.

ruE consumption of malt liquor in this

Retailer, the organ of the brewers,
"taxes were paid on l3,374,000 barrels,
or Ala, 900, 900 gallons. This is equiva-
lent to about l6O mugs for every man,
woman and child in the country. Leav-
inc out the females and children, this
vast quantity represents 600 glasses a
wear for each male over twenty-one years
old in the United States. When we con-
slider the very large number of adult
males Who drink no beer at all, and the
other host who partake of it only in the
most moderate manner, and at more or
less protracted intervals, it is evident
that some other Americans must drink a
great deal. At five cents a glass, this
beer manufacture of 1880 brought $780,
900. 900 or about 81 80 per capita for
every man, woman and child. This is a
quarter more hal the total expense OF
running the United States Government.

Throughout Christendom which is to
say in all countries where Christianity is
moral power, these Christmas days are
largely given overto fcasting, gift-making,
and general merriment. No controversy
as TO the origin or mission of Christ need
be settled in order TO make Christmas
n welcome and joyous season to all.
The church teaches us from Bible
lore that Christ was God in hui
man form. Liberals deny this, and
claim that he was only lofty-minded
man and a great moral teacher. The
former reverence him as man-like God,
the latter regard him as God-like man.
To all he is the great central character of
mankind. Born in manger "because
there was not room in the inn"
for his humble parents, he dwelt
on the earth for thirty-three
years, devoting his youth and man
hood to brave and heroic assault on
hoary and powerful wrong, the while
cultivating among all who came to hear
him lessons ofpurty, humanity, and love.
His birth and career have separated the
old from the new and created hopes
which have soothed and will continue to
soothe hundreds of millions of people
with prospect of immortality. Mater
nifty, Infancy, and the Christian Religion
claim Christmas for their own, while
strong Manhood regard it as the birthday
of One who threw an unrivaled manliness
and sublime courage against the false
pretenses and crystallized errors of de-
generate age. So long rs a newborn babe
and its mother command the homage of
mankind, and so long as combined hui
manity and heroism are counted noble
in the earth, so long will even the ration
alist welcome merry Christmas. So long
as Faith and Hope lift up the souls Sf be-
levers to contemplation of the charac-
ter and mission of Christ as taught in
Holy Writ, so long will the Christmas
Time be a season of rejoicing and a point
of new departure in every Christian life.
A merry Christmas to ALL
