III there was any fall ng-on In Christmas enjoy
ment yesterday it could not be charged against
the weather. The air was as balmy as II touched
Oy summers warmth, and the sun shone with all
his brliancy. But after ALL 1t is doubtful If dis
agreeable weather detracts much from the real
enjoyment OF Christmas 1t is within the home
circle that the day is most thoroughly enjoyed 1t
Is an occasion that often brings together members
OF separated family, and gathered around a
comfortable nreSfde. those who form the circle
py but little heed TO the biting cold or clustering
blasts without. The severesu weather that has
ever uShered in Christmas day never deprived
parents OF one Jot or little OF the happy satsfac
tion derived from watching the little ones with
dlated eyes and joyous EXPLANATIONS, examine
the packages and presents Santa Claus had SO
mysterousy left for them There Is an tnspira-
Slon OF lightheartedneSs ACCOMPANYING the day
which neither cold nor snow nor both combined
can depress- However. beautiful weather is an
added charm TO the occasion, Offering attractions

availed themselves OF yesterday
They are making good deal OF fuss I'D in New
York over the charge that the attorney general OF
that state is engaged private counsel for parties
who may or not be interested in cases wherein the
rights OF the public are involved. There Is I'M
Doubleday good ground for the objections, II the
cause FOR them exists; but even In that evont the
attorney general can ind plenty of respectable
precedents for the course complained Of May he
not as we'll be SO retained and engaged ia private
account. and even against the government, as
members Of the United States Senate and House
OF Representatives? The spectacle presented of
one or more or these honorable gentlemen arguing
cases against the government is not an unusual
one IN Washington What Is the legal or moral
difference between them and the.attorney general
IN matter like that Why sloul Int sauce for
the national goose be sauce for the state gander?

III Is fact comm mt Il upon with satisfaction
that since the inaugur itiOn of the cit!zsns IN
curry into the alleged relations between detectives
and thieves; burglarieS and robberieS have been
lew In number In Washington. Formerly there
was almost daily complaint OF losses through the
operations OF the thieves who infested the city,
ana though many cases of this kind wera sup
pressed, enough reached the public TO show that
washington WAS a favorite resort or the raSeaiIy
Classes For the past few weeks the thieves seem
10 nave suspended active operations here
Whether they have been frightened away by The
sutd"niF aroused indiynat on and vi .ilance OF the
cithenS, whether they have been warned by
friendly voices TO give the capital city a rest or
whether The detectives are giving more attention
To their duty Of protecting the people fron the
thieves, Is iii 'tter for speculation. But tn fact
einans that the plundering OF citizens by house.
DrelkrS and the robbery of visitors by confidence
men as TO considerable extent at least ceased
tbs fact certainly snCrdS great encoura cement
10 the cit Gems who have begun the work OF In

ton OF affairs, when 1t was not an uncommon oc-
currPnce for half dozen houses in the same neigh

PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
fatal effect of a trialng Mart

On Friday morning two weeks since,
a young man Joseph Seamster, board
ing with ]. w. Howard, two and q
half miles northeast of Nineveh, met
with painful accident which resulted
in his death on the Wednesday follow
ing. He had risen about four o'clock
and left the house in his bare feet
while out he stepped on stump Of an
Alder bush it is supposed, cutting not
very large cash IN the foot. While the
hurt was to appearances quite trifilng it
proved very painful and the foot and
leg commenced swelling. DR. Coe,
Weaver and Pierce were called in at
tendance but could do nothing, as it
was decided that even an amputation
would not save his life. His parents
who live near Lancaster were present
at his death on Wednesday.
Mr.. Howard, at whose house
the accident occurred speaks highly
Of the young man. He was boarding
there and engaged in the hoop-pole
business, HIS remains were taken
to his home in Schuyler county for
b urial.
