Every nation that has history has had its
songs. Every people that has taken part in
the advancement of humanity has had its
heroes, garlanded and praised by poet and
sage. The memories of great men and great
events are written upon the minds and hearts
of men by the anthems and paons of the
multitude. He who is the sovereign of peo-
pies and nations was heralded in His advent
upon earth by the melody and harmony of
angelic voices. The songs of the heavenly
vistants who reiOiccd with men in the COM
ing of the immaculate Son of God have
been taken up and re-echoed throughout
the world by millions of happy mortals, who
have known and loved the author of "peace
ON earth, good will to men," The grandest
efforts of those almost divine composers have
been directed toward the expression of that
joy which His birth brought to the world.
The swelling chorus of praise with which the
light of this morning is ushered in is the
mighty attempt of the christian world to lift
to the great white throne an universal echo of
the celestial music which foated over the
plains ofPalestine and awakened the very flow
crets in Esdraeon's splendid plain so many
centuries ago. Creeds and their combatants
come and go like the dust and dew of sum
mer, but the mighty grandeur Of that star
which heralded the advent of the Christ can
never be ef1aced, and it shines with greater
radience and more potent brilliancy as the
years feetly flow into eternity. Men rise
and fall like the billows of the vast deep, and
their praises are sung by admiring multi
tudcs, but over, above, and through all comes
to the sense of humanity the unspeakably
rich, soul-absorbing harmony of Behold,
bring you glad tidings of great joy; for unto
you is born Saviour, who is Christ,
the Lord" As the pendulum of
time beats the cycles of existence, so,
with the recurrence of each Christmastide.
beats the heart of the civilized world in uni
son with the great heart of Him who said,
"This is my beloved Son hear We Him.
Therefore do we all rejoice upon this univer.
sal anniversary, and most appropriately do we
take into our heart of hearts the children
whom He so loved that He likened them unto
the kingdom. Let joy be unconfned this day
and let childhood leap forth into its own songs
of happiness and in its own way. Let this be
to every one merry, merry Christmas.

Regulating the Indians.

Mr.. PRICE, commissioner of Indian affairs,
has issued an order creating tribunals at
Indian agencies for the better enforcement of
discipline among the copper colored wards of
the nation. These tribunals, which are to be
known as "courts of Indian offenses," arc to
be composed only of men of intelligence,
honesty, uprightncss, and undoubted intelli-
gence, who shall be appointed by the agent
after consultation with wise Indians who are
good moral character and integrity" As
a very high standard of morality prevails
among the Indians, the agents will have no
trouble finding bucks" who are qualified to
assist in the formation of the judicial COM
missions. The commissioner enumerates sun
dances, scalp dances, war dances, and similar
advertisements practiced by Mr.. Lo as "In-
dian offonses," and empowers the courts to
punish savages for indulging in such sports.
He also directs the Encouragement of plural
marriages among the Indians, and provides
for the punishment of bigamous braves by
Withholding their rations and setting them to
work on prison fare Stealing is also tabooed,
and the medicine men are prohibited from
doing business under penalty ofimprisonment.
When Mr.. PRICES constituents read his
lecture they will saturate their hair mattresses
with tears of grief. They will then paint the
prairie red, kill few pale faces execute a
song and dance and move over into Canada
and Mexico, where their personal liberty will
not be interfered with, and where there is less
regulating going on.

The apartments set apart for the prince at

rooms and parlors of this celebrated caravan
sarie. special feature of this is the private
dining-room, set apart for the prince and the
immediate members of his suite. The appur-
tenances of this are thoroughly oriental in
their character, and consist of japanese silk
hangings, panels, and paintings, which
transport the beholder at once to the
palaces of Toxic or Ycddo. The solid ma
hogany table is work of art in itself, and in
honor of the royal visitor, Mr.. Roessle has
procured at cost of $500 complete set of
Japanese china that would enchant any de-
votee of the ceramics who his head in
veneration before display of real Satsuma
ware. After the visit of the secretary
of state and General Van Buren, on
Saturday afternoon, the prince retired to
MS rOOilS, as ne WIS greatly ldtlBueu ny iHe

The majority of the people are republicans
when those they entrust with power keep
within hail of them. This subject of rdil0ay
monopoly in politics is one in which they are
deeply concerned. If control shall go with
ownership in the government of nation and
states, the relations of the people and the
railways will be less menacing to the latter,
because 1t will make them less dangerous to
themselves by making them less indifferent
to public opinion. Let the railways be pro-

public, and they will have no need of the

Congress at its last session passed bill de-
claring the title to Black Point, near the Pre-
sidio, to be in Gen. Fremonts wife, and re-
ferred the matter to the court of claims only
possessed by the government, over twenty
years ago, with an allowance of six per cent.
interest per annum during the whole term.
This can hardly fail to produce fund which
will amply provide for the old hero (for he is
now waxing old and his family in the COM
ing years. Black Point is now occupied pre-
sumably as the property of the government
by Gen. Schofeld as his headquarters. The
deft hand and untiring energy of his brilliant
wife, Jessie Fremont is seen in all this.

them are NJ Voorhees, and MIR. Brown, of the

both houses of the federal legislature but just
now these two are the most Extensively con-
spicuous. The public man who does know
that the country demands some such reform

and Mrs. Moriarty's goat saw it from the
north just as Mrs Finnegan's goat caught
sight of it from the south. The Moriarty
goat was a little the farthest from it, but he
travelled the faster, SO they got there the
same instant and recoiled about eight feet
each, and they stood and thought over it
about twenty minutes before sudden flop OF
the spread decided them to try it again, and
that time they got less of it than before, but
they had got their mad up, and stuck to it
until one lost a horn and the other an eye,
and the Moriartys and Finnegans are now

on Christmas day in the morning
A child, youth, and woman fair,
And an old, old man with silver hair
With gifts for the babes adjoining.
Then knelt they down at Bethlehem
On CT ris.mas day in the morning;
And spring had brought crocus wild,
And summer a rose for the holy child,
Gifts for the babes adorning.
And there they knolt at Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning;
And autumn gave him her fruits of gold
And holly bough brought winter old;
Gifts for the. babes adorning.
So come ye all to Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning,
And to the holy Jesus sing,
And bring the best that ye can bring;
Gifts for the babes adorning.
