4 CHRISTMAS GIFT.
BY AIMEE CAREY.

Ring ont merry bells for Christmas ~
I heard them ringing, in that
great dull room where / sat reading
aloud-Stuart Mill it was tonight
but the sentences that rolled so
smoothly off my tongue were as SO
much Greek to me momeut after
wards. There was sleepy fire
burning in the CRATE, and toasting
his feet and limbs in the warmth
and heat, sat the master OF West
Willow Grove, an old white-haired
man of seventy, feeble in health,
and irritable in temper, yet not an
unkindly man, considering his age
and ill.health. I was-well, COM
panion, secretary, half nurse, l had
made rather unfortunate essay at
woman independence, and been
really glad to come here where the
home was comfortable, and the
duties light. And yet
I wondered how it would seem TO
keep a really bright merry Christ
mas-to have smiles showered up
on you, glad wishes. gifts, laughter,
and pleasantries. I remembered
when we were little ones at
home, how we had hung up our
stockings, feasted, and played, and
danced in the evening to mammals
piano.
But since then there had come
death and changes. Papa, and a
brother and sister, had been carried
off by a malignant fever. My
oldest brother had gone to China
to enter a mercantile house, and my
mother had accepted shelter at the
hands of a great aunt, whom she
had angered years before, by her
marriage with a poor man, when
she might have had rich hqsba

THE MYSTIC CHRsSTMAS.
BY JOHN G.. WHITTIER.

"All hailp' the bells of Christmas rang.
"All hail!'' the monks at Christmas
sang,
The merry monks who kept with cheer
The gladdest day Of all their year.
But still apart, unmoYed thereat,
A pious elder brother sat
Silent in his accustomed place,
With Gods sweet peace upon his face.
'sWhy sitt'st thou thus:" the brethren
cried.
'It is the blessed Christmas-tide;
The Christmas lights are all aglow,
The sacred lilies bud and blow.
"Above our heads the ioy-bells ring,
Without the happy children sing,
And all Gods creatures hail the morn
On which the holy Christ was born.
"Reioice with US; no more rebuke
Our gladness with thy quiet look"
The gray monk answered keep, l
pray,
Even as ye list the Lords birthday.
'sLet heathen Yule fires flicker red
Where thronged refectory fcasts are
spread;
With mystery-play and masque and
mime
And wait-song speed the holy time!
''The blindest faith may haply save;
The Lord accepts the things we have,
And reverence, howsoe'er it strays,
May find at last the shining ways.
ssThey needs must grope who cannot
see,
The blade before the ear must be;
As We are feeling ] have felt,
And where ye dwell I too have dwelt.
"But now, beyond things ofsense,
Beyond occasions and events,
1 know, through Gods exceeding
grace,
Release from form and time and
place.
"I listen. from no mortal tongue,
To hear the song the angels sung;
And wait within myself to know
The Christmas lilies bud and blow.
''The outward symbols disappear
From him whose inward sight is clear;
And small must be the choice OF days
To him who fills them all with praise! !!
ssKeep while you need it, brothers
mine,
With honest zeal your Christmas sign,
But Judge not him who every morn
Feels in his heart the Lord Christ
born!''

THE sTAR-RoUTE TRIAL.
Arguments Upon the Prayers-The Charge
To Be Delivered To-Day.

Arguments Upon the Prayers-The Charge
To Be Delivered To-Day.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-To-day's session
of the star-route trial was devoted to hear
ing arguments based upon the prayers for
instructions TO the jury. The prayers num-
Der twenty for the prosecution and an even
hundred for the defense. The Attorney
general was present in court. Mr.. Ker began
his argument. He maintained that when a
defendant on the stand refused to produce
documentary evidence in his possession,
such failure casts suspicion on all other evil
dence adduced by the defendant, and was a
circumstance tending to prove guilt. He
held that Mr.. Ingersoll's offer to produce
books under restrictions could not have been
accepted by the court and therefore did not
mitigate for the presumption drawn from
the non-production of evidence
The prayers for the defense were submit
TED without argument. A large number of
them are attacks upon the sufficiency of the
indictment; others ask for the rejection of
all evidence touching certain overt acts be-
cause OF insufficient or erroneous descrip-
ton in the indictment, and still another and
a large number concern points that have
already been disposed of, and are presented
merely with a view of saving exceptions.
Several prayers maintain Brady's right to
make an order regardless of seeming extrav-
agance or errors of Judgment and hold that
his purpose, whether corrupt or
not in making orders is alone
subject to the consideration of the jury. The
restrictions imposed by the statute of limita-
tons are sought to be availed OF against
many alleged overt acts.
1t is also alleged that there were two con-
spiracies or not conspiracy at all after that
date, which would also render the indict-
ment nugatory. Another point made is that
all or none of the defendants can be con-
victed. Prayer ninety-two asks for the re-
lection of the evidence concerning nearly all
of Brady's orders, because the indictment does
not charge that they were made in pursuance
of a conspiracy.
The court called upon the government for
reply to this prayer, which was made at
some length by Mr.. Ker, and the court ad-
journed until tomorrow, when the charge to
the jury will probably be delivered.
Although the star-route trial is not yet
ended the record up to this point is the larg
est ever made in a criminal case in this coun-
try. Printed in small type and octave size,
it occupies over 5000 pages, or about four
and one quarter million words.

"HOME, SWEET HOME"

The Free Advertising Obtained by Bring
ing Home Payne's Remains.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 11.-Mr. Corcoran has
obtained more free advertising from his
treatment of John Howard Payne's remains
than anything he has done in the philan-
thropic way for years. His burial of the au-
thor of Home, Sweet Home" was graceful
tribute to the memory of one who has en-
riched American poetry and song. The
transfer of Payne's remains from across
the seas, the erection of bis monument,
and other expenses in connection with the
BOO. When the poet and author left his
home, sweet home, he was poor as a church
mouse. His letters show him to have been
in circumstances of the greatest restitution
Home, Sweet Home" had been given to the
world long years before. His condition was
we'll known in Washington at the
time. Mr.. Corcoran was enormously
wealthy, even then, and shaving notes as
only rich bankers of the highest respectable
Ity can do. 1t does not appear that Mr.
Corcoran gave the gifted man whose mem
Dry he now reverenoes so highly as much as
Il $40 note to relieve his temporal distress
Mr.. Corcoran never mixes his philanthropy
and his business. If Mr.. Payne had been
given one-tenth of the $4,000 it cost to bury
him thirty years after his death,
the chances are he would not
have died under foreign
run. 1t apparently did not occur
to Mr.. Corcoran what a great man Payne
really was, and what chance for grandilo-
quent praise he was on the point of missing,
until Lick, the California Millionaire, left
100000 for a monument to hinc. Then he
went Lick one better by causing the mans
bones to be dug up and replanted in Amer
izan soil. AS an advertisement this was by
far the most successful move, and it only
cost $40 000-just one-tenth what Lick was
willing to pay.

But, of course man can't pay $175 week
for board unless he has something besides
his congressional salary of 500 week to
live on. Plenty of men in Congress have
fortunes that make their salaries compare
lively unimportant On the other hand,
there are senators and representatives here
without their families, and who don't pay
more than $50 or $50 a month for board and
lodging, and others bring their wives and
board very comfortably for 500 month,
more or less. But then they don't get quite
so much advertising or booming as the rich
men who can pay twice that per week.

THE HILL INVESTIGATION.


The Enormous Profits Made by Contractors
ON Public Buildings.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE committee to
investigate the charges made against the ad-
mnistration OF the Supervising Architects
Office of the Treasury Department met to-
day. Mr.. Coleman, counsel for Mr. Murch,
stated that he had prepared specific charges,
which he expected to prove, under contracts
already in evidence before the committee.
He also stated that he had recently been re-
tanned as counsel for Manley & Cooper, Jus
tin Mccarthy, and several others who de-
sired to prefer charges against Mr. Hill, and
charges to cover their several grounds
of complaint, Mr.. Coleman then
read the charges and specifications,
which set forth fraud and extravaganza in
connection with the purchase of dressing
stone for the public buildings of the United
States.
Mr. Steinmetz, expert, then took the
stand, and resumed his statement relative to
the cost of granite used in the construction
of the public buildings at Philadelphia. Wit
ness stated that since the last meeting of the
committee ne had made computation on
twenty courses upon the third fourth and
lated upon each stone the excess paid by the
government upon the basis of quarry dimen-
sions He had made a calculation for the
third story on the Chestnut-street front of
the building, and found that the aggregate
excess paid by the government for stone was
SIT 500, the opposite part being identical with
it.. The total for the two would be S35. OO0
Witness said he had not computed the other
fronts, but would continue his calculations
for each front and for each floor so as to give
the aggregate excess for the entire building.
At this point Homer Campbell. stone
cutter, was sworn as a witness. He had
worked at his trade upon the public build
ings in New York, Boston and Philadelphia:
was employed on the public building in
Philadelphia during August 1880, and from
memoranda which he made at the time stated
that he cut nineteen feet six inches of stone
IN thirty days, and was paid at the rate of
$3.50 per day. he was employed ten days upon
one stone which measured six feet three by
three feet ten inches
Steinmetz was then recalled, and testified
that for the stone described by Campbell. the
government paid the contractors $272. &c,
while they paid Campbell but 1890 a net
profit to them OF 1899 76 Campbell was
paid by them for hls entire work slO2 while

Dorsey's Threats.
WASHINGTON Special.


Should an acquittal result some sensational
developments are expected from ex-senator
Dorsey. 1t is rumored that he has matter in
his possession that will settle many of the
controversies which have arisen relative to
the campaign of $780, and the exciting
events of the beginning of Garield's admin
istration. He has been compelled to spend a
fortune in the present contest and it is thus
that he will proceed to get even with all who
have assailed him during his struggle for
vindication. Those who are intimate with
MIN say that he has something in his possess
sion that will make il unpleasant for Mac
Veagh, James and Mr.. Blaine especially, of
the Garfield cabinet. What it is however
no one presumes to say, further than that it
consists of correspondence showing. political
manipulations not at this time understood
by the public.
