At the church in Irvington on Christmas
night, they had a ship full rugged and under
full sail, and loaded with Christmas presents.
The church was filed with people, and after
singing, prayer and brief remarks by Rev.
Eldred, the presents were distributed to the
eager little ones and not much less eager big
ones.-RCiector.
The boys at the chemical works thought
that their boss, Mr.. J. Burrell. was getting
a little wild, and on Christmas morning they
proceeded 10 chain him down. As it was

operation was performed. Mr.. j. submitted
with good grace.-Rgiector.
A grange somewhere in Michigan lately
passed the following resolution:

terms satisfactory TO the members of the
State Grange. that we pledge him our patron
age. And furthermore be it resolved. that
in case Mr.. Church should be unable to
furnish sufficient plaster to supply the de-
1nands of the Patrons for the ensuing year.
that we will not buy any plaster of other
parties except they sell it to as at the same
price as per contract with Mr.. Church.
With the first half OF this resolution there
IS no fault to find, but the stupidity of the
last clause is almost beyond comprehension.
II is just such foolishness az this that hurt

tent that it has hardly yet recovered from.

The discussion of the question of reduc-

throughout the entire country. There has
been no demand for such reduction, either
by producers. manufacturers or consumers,
and the best thing for the country is to "let
well enough alone" AS long as the govern
ment needs the revenue. and il does need it
now, and is likely to for good many years
TO come, let the tax on tobacco, cigars and
whisky remain. There is no easier, better
or moro appropriate way to pay the National
debt, than by a tax on these articles. Men
are not obliged to chew, smoke or drink, and
# they will persist in such foolish and in
jurious habits, let them be taxed for it, even
If it should wipe out the entire debt of the
country. If such should be the final result
the people will not mourn. BY all means,
gentlemen legislators, keep your hands off
from the tobacco and whisky tax. not only
at the present time, but as long as we have
a large debt to pay.

4 few evenings since, Herr Most, the noted
German socialist. delivered an incendiary
address in Chicago, in which he urged that
the right thing to do was to kill capitalists,
and for people to help themselves to funds
in the banks and goods in the stores, and
that they should prepare powder bombs, etc.,
N anticipation of the time when the rising
should take place. He said churches were
gathering chiefly children into the fold, and
that the churches and newspapers were run
are decidedly in favor of free speech and q
free press, but there should be some limit
and it seems to us that there should be some
way of preventing these crazy blstherskites
Of the old world, from advocating their in
cendiary, communistic theories in this coun-
try. If the lazy vagabonds want land, there
is way provided by which they can obtain
It, but this does not meet their ideas. What
they want is not wild land which requires
honest toll to make it valuable and produc-
tive, but good improved farms, with COM
Portable and commodious buildings erected
by the labor of other and better men than
themselves. The sooner some way liz de-
vised to compel such blatant fools as Herr
Most and others of like ilk, to cease their
insane ranting the better it will be for the
country. They ought to be kept out of the
country entirely, and if they could be dealt
with as we deal with the Chinese, it would
be blessing to the people. Their room is
far better than their company.

The following resolutions, relative TO the
death of Mrs. s. H. Blsckman, were adopted
by Paw Paw Lodge No, Is, ]. o. .. F., viz
Resolutions of coincidence, in memory of
our departed sister, Mary A. Blackman, wife
of Past Grand Master, Samuel III. Blackman.
In the death of our sister we feel that, not
only AZ members of the Rebekah degree, but
as citizens of Paw Paw, we have been called
upon to part with one who was ever fore
most in every good and noble work, and I'M
firing in her efforts TO relieve the distressed
and minister to the wants of the needy.
Stricken down in the very prime of life,
and in the height of her usefulness, her loss
will be keenly felt in circle even wider
than that of her home or of the members OF
this lodge.
To the aged partner, our brother, by whom
her loss will be most keenly felt, and to hei
children to whom the death of mother has
so deep significance, we tender our earnest
sympathes, in this their hour of deep afllic-
ton and sorrow.
We recommend that this expression OF
coincidence at the death of our sister be en-
tered at length upon the records of thi:
lodge.

Its Effect ON the Postal Reyenue-Opin
ious on the Feature Of tue stamp.

Its Eject ON the Postal Revenue-Opin
iOus on the Feature Of the stamp.
WASHINGTON, October Postal officials
are in doubt AS to the effect Of the reduced
letter rate on the postal revenues. The
general estimate is, that it will rts1lt in q
reduction, although those who are most
earnest in urging the two-cent rate are ol
the opinion that the increase in Correspan.
dence, which will be encouraged by the re-
duclion Of postage, will have the effect to at
lest maintain the revenues at the former
standard. The officials expect that twill be
someweeks before the question will be set
tied. Meantime, very large quantities Of
theitwo.ceut stamps have been sold.
The stamp itself has not created a
pleasant impression. A Government cfIi-
cia!, who has a collection Of all the Govern
ment stamps, Gays that the new two-cent
stamp IL perhaps the ugiest in the series.
The contractors are said TO be- themselves
dissltilhed with the die, and are working
upon n new one, but the demand for the
stamps has been SO great that 1t will be
nee, sSary to usO for some weeks the die
which was first accepted. .......
One Of the most irt quentinquirles which
have been received at the Postoftice
Department in connection with the change,
IL whether old three cent stamps will be
exchanged for the new twos. The Depart
ment has refused to do this for private citi;
zsns, but it has done it to day for the
departments, which have exchanged large
quantities Of the old stamps. The cost to
the Pustcillce Department for the manu-
iactnre OF the stamps 10 nine cents for a
sheet oil one Thousand. The Government
would lose that money by changing with
out reduction. Besides, the clerical ferce
in most postotlices ia inadequate to the
additional labor which would be made
necessary ifth.re was to be general ex-
change.
