There are people that ten you, s,ys Charles
Dickens that Christmas is not 20 them what it
used to- DO; tiat each succeeding Christmas has
found some chor.4hcd hope or happy prospect
Of tho year before dimmed and passed away;
that tho present only seems 20 remind them of
reduced circumstances and straightaned in
comes-of the fess-s they once bestowed on
hollow friends and of the cold looks that moot
them now, in adversely and misfortune. There
arc few men who have lived long enough in the
world, who cannot call up such thoughts ant
day in the year.
Thondo not select the merTiest Of the S65 for
your doleful recolections, but draw your chair
nearer the blazing iro-fll the glass and send
round the song-and if your room be smaller
than it Wis a dozen years ago, or if your glass
be filed with rocking punch instead Of spark
ling wine, put good face on the matter and
empty it ofi-hlnd and al another and tron of
the Old ditty you used 10 sing, and thank God
it's no wOrse. Look on the merry faces Of your
children, if you have any, as they sit round the
FIRE. One httle seat may be empty; one slight
form that gladdened the fathers and reused
tho mothers pride to look up may not be there.
Dwell not upon the past; think not that one
short year ago the fair child now resolving into
dust sat before you Reflect upon your present
bessings-of which every man has many-not
upon your past misfortunes, of which all men
have some. Fill your glass again with merry
face and contented heart Our life on il. bus
your Christmas shall be merry, and your New
Year a happy one.

The Christmas Clearing-H House.

A woll-lnown student Of social science. who
Is at present ono Of the intellectual ornaments
of Boston, has devised plan for the regulation
Of Christmas gifts which seems to be perfectly
satisfactory. lie proposes that each person
shall give away precisely the gifts which he or
she wishes to receive, and that on the LIST of
January there shall be a clearinghouse estab-
hshed IN each family, by means Of which n
general exchange Of gifts shall DO arranged.
FOR example, has a wifo-B-and two sisters
@ and ID. On Christmas he gives to his wife a
box Of cigars, TO his sister G a new male over
coat, and to his sister d new mearsohaum
pipe. His wife gives him a new bonnet. to one
OF her sisters diamond ring, and to the other
sealslin coat, and in like manner O and ID
give 10 A and b and 10 each other whatever
objects and particularly wish for. Each
member Of the family processes 10 DO delighted
with the gifts received, and tho 10y of the
household is unfeignod. A week later the
clearinghouse is opened aud general ex-
change Of gifts takos place, A receives baol,
all that he has given TO b, O, and D, and
each Of the latter similarly receives back her
own gifts. The final result Is that A possog,es
the cigars and pipes which he coveted, b hae a
bonnet q scalsldn saequa and diamond RIM.
and @ and D arc equally wen satisfied.

A Proposition to spend $500 n Head
ON the Poor Los.

1t will be gratifying to Nevadans
to learn that Senator Hoar, the
enlightened humanitarian from Massachu-
sets, has found out what to do with the
poor Indians. The Washoes and Piutes
are susceptible Of refinement and culture.
no doubt. The only trouble is they don't
take to it as naturally as they do to the
sagebrush. When the New England school
marms get among them, though. they will
be raised at once and get new light.
The San Francisco Call discusses the
scheme as follows:
Judge Hoar Of Massachusetts, has intro
duced a bill in the Senate of the United
States for the education of Indian children,
which authorizes the Secretary OF the In
terror to cause every Indian child dwelling
west Of the Mississippi River, exclusive OF
children belonging to the five civilized
tribes in the Indian Territory, to be
placed at school under such general regu-
lations as may be approved by the Presi-
dent, and to expend for such education
whatever sum may be necessary, not ex-
c~eeding.S500 for each child. An impulse
has been given to this cause, which can
not fail to carry it forward to a satisfactory
conclusion. The Indian children are gem
orally anxious to be educated, a desire in
which their parents are steadily joining,
so that after a while the influence OF the
former upon the latter will be so great
that they will have little or no objection TO
adopting the white mans civilization.

PEDAGOGIC WAR.
The Commissioners Trying to Find
If They shall Pay u Teacher.

The meeting Of the County Commits
sioners yesterday was enlivened by another
outbreak OF the school war. G. J. Scan
land, County Superintendent, has vetoed
the bill Of Professor White for his Deem
Der salary, and the question was whether
the bill should be passed notwithstanding
the Superintendent's Veto" Mr.. Scan.
land claimed that Professor White was
teaching certain studies which he was not
eligible to teach, as he does not hold q first
grade certificate. The Professor stood
square ON the proposition that he had rem
dered services for the money. and that he
was entitled to it. Mr.. Scanland quoted
the law. which says that to teach q gram
mai school the teacher must have a first
grade certificate. Otherwise, he claimed,
there is no lawful service rendered, and
hence there could be no public money paid
as compensation. Mr.. Mark Johnson,
School Trustee, claimed there is no gram
mar school in the county, and that there
is no ~pedagogue ins the county competent
to teach it, if there was one. He is re-
ported to have said, also, that there
is not & pupil in the Eureka school
who can work long division. He
asserted that Mr.. Scanland was
fighting the Board OF Trustees over the
Professors shoulders. Commissioner
Smith. in defense Of Superintendent Scan
land, stood out in favor Of home rule, and
while he did not question Prof. Whites
capabilities as a teacher he thought there
was enough talent in the county to RIM
the schools without having recourse to
importations. Commissioner Smith eulo-
gized the lady teachers Of the district, and
wound up with the magnificent perora-
