HONORABLE WILLIAM A. NEWELL,
Olympia, w. T.
Dear Sir: The President of the United
States directs me to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your telegram, addressed to him

coincidence to Mrs. Garfield, the President,
the Cabinet and the people of the United
States" The sentiment they express IL
one which has found expression every.
where in our country, and which has
come from many other lands, but the
great distance from which you have sent
this testimonial of sorrow has lent it spec
ial weight, and the President desires that
send to you assurance of his grateful ap-
probation, both for himself, the govern
ment and the people.
! Aaye the honor TO be, very respect
fully,

AN ANECDoTE OF GLAD
QTONE

An anecdote is related of Mr.,
Gladstone which deserves to be
widely known, for it is not only
singularly characteristic Of the man,
but it 10 capable of being used as the
text for many profitable political
sermon. When the present premier
was in Italy, he returned thanks for
the glowing terms in which his
health had been proposed by the
spokesman of the eminent Italians
whose guest he then was. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that his own
speech was given in the Italian
language, of which he is notably a
master; still less is it necessary to
add that bis speech did not consist
in a glorifcation of himself.
He rendered an eloquent tribute
to the progress which Italy had
made since the date of her mplete
unifcation, and the Italian states
men and authors listened with de-
light as the first of English states
men and first of orators poured out
a flood of encouraging and sympa-
thetic praises in their own speech,
upon the wholesome signs of ma
tional vigor which he had noticed in
this department or that. "But,n
exclaimed Mr.. Gladstone, "you
have one enemy amongst you.n
The Italians looked at one another
significantly; they believed that they
could easily perceive to what, or rath-
or to whom the great Englishman re-
ferred. They whispered one to anoth-
er: "He means the Pope" Mean.
while the current Of Mr.. Gladstone's
oratory went on unbrokenly side by
side with the mods and whispers of his
audience. "You have one enemy
amongst you. Its NAME" he added,
"is Deficit" Every reader who keeps
abreast of the controversies and diff
culties of the Italian politics of the
day, as drifts of the party conflicts in
Italy find their way into our journals,
will perceive how true q prophet, how
skilled a physician of the symptoms Of
sickness in the Italian body politic,
the h-st OF living financiers then and
there proved himself to be. The
eager Italian statesmen were proba-
bly, far more deeply troubled about
the Pope than tho deficit. Some of
them have doubtless learned by this
time the singular wisdom and value
of Mr.. Gladstone's characteristic re.
mark.

THE SKIN OF VERY COMMON ANIMAL

From the Indianapolis News.
While strolling along the streets Of

reporter, in dusty, csbwebby window

heard there were many worthless imita-

worse odor than lard oil. eve sell to

proprietor continued. "This oil we get
from the skins-tnat's as much of the
skunk as l gst-and the yield is usually
about four ounces to the skin. Some
times we get half pint, and sometimes,
though seldom, as much as a pint to the
pelt. There's no more than one skin In
thoussad that'll yield a pint of oil.
The animal is thin In flesh in summer,
but very fat in winter. Skunk hides,
last year, the best quality, were worth
from $1.75 to So each. They will not
be worth much more than half as much

last year, nearly all of which were

in Southern and Central Indiana. There

The skins have been worth as much as

TINE rMREE KINGS.
nYn. n. LoNaFnLLow.


Thrss kings came riding from far away.
MelchiOr and Gaspar and Baltazar;
| Three Wise men out OF the East were they,
And they travelled by night and they
For their guide wa: a beautiful wonder
ful star.
The star was so beautiful, large aud clear,
That all the other stais OF the sky
Became a white mist In the atmosphere,
And the wise men knew that the coming
ofthe Prince iorefold in the prophecy.
Three baskets they bore on their saddle
Three cassets OF gold with golden eys
Their robes were OF crimson silk, with
or bells and pomegranates and furbelows,
Their turbans like blossominy almond
trees.
And so the three Kings rode into the West
Through the dusk OF night and over
And sometimes they nodd ID with beard
on breast
And somst'mes talked as they paused to
with the people they met at the way
side wells.
"of the child that is born, /" said Baltszar,
"dood people. pray you, tell us the
For We In the cast have seen his star,
And have ridden last and have ridden far,
To find and worship the King Of The
Jews"
And the people answered: "You ask In

We know q no king but Hsrod the

As they spurred their horses across the
plain,
And when they came TO Jerusalem,
Herod the Great, who had heard this

And said: Go down into Bethlehem
And bring me tidings OF this new king
30 they rode away; and the stars stood
The only one in the gray of morn,
Yes. It stopped, IL stood still Of Its own

Right over Bethlehem on the hill,

But the windows were closed and the

And only q light In the stable burned.
And Graded there In the scented hay,
In the air made sweet by the breath Of
The little child In the manger lay
The child that would be King enc day
or n kingdom not human but divine.
His mother, Mary of Nazareth,
Sat watching beside his place OF rest,
Watching the even flew Of his breath,
For the Joy OF life and the terrors death |
Were mingled together In her breast.
They laid their offerings at his feet;
The gold was their tribute TO king: |
The frankincense, with its odor sweet,
Was for the priest. The Paraclete,
The myrrh for the body's burying.
And the mother wondered and bowed her
head,
And sat still as a statue OF stone;
Her heart was troubled, yet eomforted,
what the angel had said
Ofan endless reign and ofDavId's throne /
Then the Kings rode out OF the city gate,
With the claIter OF hoofs In proud array /
But they went not bacK to Herod the i

For they knew his malice and feared his
hate
And returned to their homes by another

THE ICR-BRIDGE AT MONTREAL
From the Montreal Witness, Dec. 81.

From the Montreal Witness, Dec. 81.
The ice-bridge has formed, and this
morning seemed strong enough for any
weight. The packing of the ice has
given thickness ln some places Of seven
or eight feet, but the average thickness
may be set down at .wo fset six inches,
though the Toadways will be much
thicker than that. Abe method of road
making is very simple, and in frosty
weather Is very easy. The track having
been marked with small bushes, the
rough surface - hewn down and Ice bro
ken into fragments. Upon these are
poured pals Of water, SO that but few
seconds suffice to give the sleighs solid
road bed, frozen as hard as the founda-
tion. City Surveyor Ansley has taken
steps 10 have the work commenced to-
morrow. There will be Two roads to
Longueuil, one rounding the corner OF
lie Ronde and the other passing the cas-
tern end of st. Helen's Island. The CITY
pays half the cost OF maintaining the
lower road, while It constructs and
maintains one-half Of the upper road
The Laprairie Road, which passes be-
meath the piers OF Victoria Bridge, 10 To-
Gated and constructed by the Laprairie
authorities, the city Of Montreal paying |
one. half the cost. The st. Lambert |
Road is constructed and maintained |
jointly by the city and 81. Lambert, each
paying one. half the cost Of maintenance. |
The iron road or the ice.bridge railway
Is much more difficult and expensive
affair. Workmen began yesterday to
prepare the ice for laying down the rail-
WaV track between Hochelapo and |
Longueuil. The first work is to thor
,ughly level the surface, and for this
purpose gangs Of men are busy to-day
With axes, scrapers and rollers, rem ov-
ng every inequality which may interfere
With the perfect level r. sting of the tim
,ers. The Company do not intend to
ay down the track itself before Monday,
II order that the ice may attain ample
thickness to insure safety. This once
few hours will do the rest.
