THE COURTS.
The Circuit Court.

The principal business in the criminal court

glars John McGowen and Thos. Garrity who
are charged with blowing open safe in the store
Of Thomas Drew and stealing money to the
amount Of $1,000, besides committing other dep.
relations IN that village about the last VI July.
They were subsequently arrested in La Sale.
Several Chicago police officers and others from
abroad are here to identify the prisoners as bad
men. In their behalf are several witnesses from
Chicago and other places who testify that the
accused could not have been in Lostsnt at the
time of the burglary.
The trial Of criminal cases were called this
week, but besides the trial of the Lostant bur-
glars, but little has been done.

CHRISTMAS DAY.
BY NORA PERRY.

What's this hurry. what's this furry,
All throughout the house to-day:
Everywhere a merry sCtsrry,
Everywhere sound of play.
Something, too, IS the matter, matter,
Out-of doors as well as in,
For the bells go clatter, clatter,
Every mlnute-such din!
Everybody winking, blinking,
In queer, MYSTERIOUS way;
What on earth can they be thinking,
What on earth can be to pay:
Rohby peeping DER the stair way,
Bursts into a little shout;
kitie, too, is in fair way,
Where she hides. TO gggle out.
As the bell goes cling a-linging
Every minute more and more,
And swift feet go springing, springing,
Through the hallway to the door,
Where glimpse of box and packet;
And little rustic, rustic,
Makes such sight and sound and racket, -
Such jolly hustle, bustle,-
That the youngsters in their places,
Hiding slyly out of sight,
All at once show shining faces,
All at once scream with delight.
Go and ask them what's the matter,
What the fun outside and in
What the meaning of the clatter,
What the hustle and the din.
Hear them, hear them laugh and shout then.
All together hear them day,
Why, what have you been about, then,
Not to know it's Christmas day?''

ly air, and whole troops of COLLINS, the
very counterpart of the first one, poured
into the churchy yard, and began playing at
leap-frog with the tombstones, never stop
ping for an instant to take breath, but
overing the highest among them, one after
another, with the most marvellous dexter
ity. The first goblin was most astonish-
ing leaper, and none of the others could
como near him; even in the extremity of
his terror the sexton could not help observ-
ing, that while his friends were content to
| leap over the common-sized gravestones,
the first one took the family vaults, iron
ratings and all, with as much ease as if
they had been SO many street posts.
"At last the game reached to q most ex-
citing pitch; the organ played quicker and
quicker, and the COLLINS leaped faster and
faster, coiling themselves up, rolling head
over heels upon the ground, and bounding
over the tombstones like footballs. The
sections brain whirled round with the
rapidity of the motion he beheld, and his
legs reeled beneath him, as the spirits flew
before his eyes, when the goblin king sud-
denly darting towards him, laid his hand
upon his collar, and sank with him through
the earth.
'When Gabriel Grub had had time tc
fetch his breath, which the rapidity of his
descent had for the moment taken away.
he found himself in what appeared to be g
large cavern. surrounded on all sides BY
crowds of goblins, ugly and grim; in the
center Of the room, on an elevated seat. was
stationed his friend Of the church-yard
and close beside him stood Gabriel Grub
himself, without power OF motion.

it descended on the shoulders of the sexton;
and again the attendant COLLINS initiated
the example of their chief.
MANY time the cloud went and came,
and many lesson it taught to Gabriel
Grub, who, although his shoulders smarted
with pain, from the frequent applications
of the goblin's feet thereunto, looked on
with an interest which nothing could di-
minish. He saw the men who worked hard
and earned their scanty bread with lives
of labor, were cheerful and happy, and
that to the most ignorant the sweet face Of
nature was never failing source of cheer
fulness and JOY. He saw those who had
been delicately nurtured, and tenderly
brought up, cheerful under privations, and
superior to suffering, that would have
crushed many of a rougher grain, because
they bore within their own bOsoms the ma
terials of happiness, contentment and
peace. He saw that woman-the tenderest
and most fragile Of all of Gods creatures,
we're the oftenest superior to sorrow, ad-
versity and distress; and he saw that it was
because they bore in their own hearts an
ine1haustible well-spfing of affection and
devotedness. Above all, he saw that men
like himself, who snarled at the mirth and
cheerfulness of others, we're the foulest
weeds on the fair surface of the earth; and
setting all the good of the world against
the evil, he came to the conclusion that it
was very decent and respectable sort of
a world after all. No sooner had he formed
it, than the cloud which had closed over
the last picture seemed to settle on his
senses, and lull him to repose. One by
one, the COLLINS faded from his sight. and
as the last one disappeared, he sunk to
sleep.
''The day had broken when Gabriel
Grub awoke, and found himself lying al
full length on the fiat gravestone in the
church-yard, with the wicker bottle lying
empty by his side, and his coat, spade and

vacant in this city for six years past,
and now holds one petty government
appointment. He applied for Small

Eddings' place as postmaster, but
failed. He applied for Newlin's place,

would get Sparkling out if he could.
There is one thing he has not failed
in, and that is in getting up the big
gest political muss in his own party
that has ever been created in Wash

Of dissension in his own ranks he has
proved grand success.

Gen. E. S. Bragg, M. c., the COM
mander of the famous old iron brigade
in the war of the rebellion, and who
is well known to many men in this
vicinity, was defeated in renomina-
ton to congress in his Wisconsin dis
trict. The contest was long and Bit
ter, 1901 ballots being taken, making
the longest contest of the kind ever
known in the United States. His ar
rest on suit for money due the Ire
mont House, in Chicago, was only
a political trick of his opponent, and
failed in effecting the object for which
the charge was trumped up.
