THE METEOR HOAX.

A Western gentleman IL this city says
the author of the recent Texas meteor hoax
is Joel Mulhattan, a drummer. HE makes
his headquarters at Louisville or st. Louis,
l think, and travels through the South
west" He added: "He is full of stories of
marvellous discoveries and wonders of ma
ture, and enjoys a reputation as romano
ier that Jules Verne, Eli Perkins, and 9TH
er liars would envy. Joel discovers won
derful cave or something every
trip he makes. Two years
ago he startled the country
| by a story of cave in the limestone re.
gion of Kentucky compared to which the
Mammoth is very small post hole. He
frequently runs across the paths of devas,
tating tornadoes, sees enormous reptiles
witnesses stellar wonders and encounters
strange men and beasts in out of -the-way
places. A year or so ago he started 6
story on the rounds about cave in the
| Rockies IN which was found full riQped
ship, that crumbled to dust the minute q
curreat of outside air struck it. He killed
whole family in western Indiana four OF
five years ago with an imaginary meteor
and an elaborate publication of the catas-
trophe caused great excitement among
scientists and others. Kentucky was his
fevorite stamping ground, but he turns NJ
in unexpected places at unexpected times .

Thereupon the attorney general directed
the United States attorney for that dis
trict to make an effort to have Douglass
indicted on the charge of abstracting
government property. The presiding
judge of the court is the father-in n-law of
Douglass. An attempt is being made to

A CORRECTION MADE.

Secretary Teller to-day addressed COM
munication to the commissioner of the
general land Office in which he says: 'My
attention has been recently called to GER
tain expression Of opinion touching void
OF entry occurring in my decision of the
18th. In the last case of Jules D. Graham
VS.. the Hastings & Dakota Railroad com
pany the question under consideration in
that case related solely to prima facie,yalid
homestead entry Of record at the date OF
the railroad grant and while the company s
right Hereunder was attached, it was there
fore unnecessary to discuss or consider the
question of void entry" The secretary
directs that the sentence ''void or voidable''
in the decision be stricken out in order
that it may conform strictly to his inten-
ton, which was to deal only with the valid
entry sentence thus eliminated. 1t has
caused the department considerable annoy
ance.

SWEPT INTO TIE STREAM One Thousand
y Heres Of La,ld and fright Smart gf EearS."-On
the deck of big Mississippi steamboat stood an
aged Southern planter. Indicating by sweep OF
his arm the waters the boat was passing over, he
said to a passenger from the North: when was
twelve years old killed my first hear on 81 new
plantation my father was then cutting out OF
forest that grew directly over the waters OF this
bend. That was a mighty good plantation. and
there was right smart Of bears there, too. But
that one thousand acres Of land went into the
Mississippi years ago
1t is putting no strain upon the hgure to say
that great forests Of youthful hope, womanly
beauty and manly strength arc swept in the samo
wav every year into the great. turbid torrent OF
disease and death. Yet it should not be so. That
it is so is disgrace as well as loss. People are
largely too careless or too stupid to defend their
own ntcrests-the most precious of which IS
health. That gone, all is gone. Disease is simple,
but To recklessness or ignorance the simplest
things might as well be complex is :! proposition
in Comic Sections As the huge Western rivers,
which 50 often flood the cities along their shores,
arise in few mountain springs. so all our all
mcnts can be traced to impure blood and small
group of disordcrcd organs.
The mo:t effective and inclusive remedy FOR
disease is PARkER'S TONIC. 1t goes TO the
sources of pain and weakness. IN response to Its
action. the liver. kidneys, stomach and heart be-
gin their work afrcs and disease is driven out.
Tho Tonic is not, however. al in:oNicant, but
cures desire for strong drink. Have you dys-

Oh Christmas day to friends and relatives re.
mains unchanged In tiio country parishes these
marks of affection are frequently taken to church
where there is always regular service, and pre-.
sentcd with smiles and good wishes for n merry
Christmas and Il happy New Year After SER
vice, Of which the Holy Communion is almost in
variably part the Christmas dinner follows, as
genial and mirthful rs in the past If the splen-
dor of ola times is absent, tho love and cheerful
ness arc as great as ever; and the old attachment
remains for the kindly season, aud the Christmas
traditions.
Will it remain unchanged? Once the world
was world of faith and Christmas and Castor
were sacred seasons. Tho "Child lying in the
manger," of the rude African hymn. had entered
the world and risen, it was verify believed, on
these blessed days. The people still believe that,
and are laughed ut by the modern philosophers
for tho most cmi nent Of these has declared that
mo revelation has ever been made Then no star,
no watchfu! shepherds, no Nativity and no Christ;
he was not born any more than he has risen from
the dead; why pcrpctuatc that old dream by an
nua rejoicing?
But in spite of the philosophers and the good
people who dcspond of the future, thero is little
reason to fear that Christmas will ever lose its
hold upon mankind The legend of the Nativity,
il it be legend, is impcrishablc; tappcals to the
human heart and will continue to appeal to it to
the end Of time. Whatever the doubters urge,
the people Of all nations are apt to remain uncon-
vnced and if q change is to take place in vlr-
gina, there are no present indications of it. The
Firginians continue to believe what their fathers
believed before them and will not be persuaded,
even By he scientists. that their time. .h9norcd
Chr!StulGs is mere Illusion.
