Hints for Christmas Gifts.

what shall / make for Christmas?'
is the question that is now heard on all
sides, and few hints for simple and
easily made fancy articles may prove Of
use to our readers. When the geese
are killed, he sure and secure all the
soft, downv feathers, for down pillows
are one of fashions newest fancies, and
they are certainly delightful for sofas
and large easy-chairs' The pillows are
half yard square, covered with pllable
silk or satin meryeilleuX, and embroid-
cred il dainty designs, or they may be
made OF the India silk, which comes IL
exquisite designs of flowers, almost as
beautiful as handwork. If the pillow
is to be used by an invalid, a case of
linen TO he drawn on and off should ac
company it, and this may be made quite
elaborate by drawing the threads, and
working them over with colored linen
thread.
For young lady chatelaine bag
will be an acceptable gift The shape
is usual ~ a square, with three gathers at
the top. but it is prettier to round the
corners and edge with lace. These
bags match The costume with which
they are worn, or for evening wear are
made il the shape Of triangle or heart
of satin or black velvet, and painted or
embroidered with bright red strawber-
ries with butterflies towering over them.
A spray of holly, with its brilliant scar
let berries, would also be pretty. They
are suspended from the arm by col
ored ribbon, tied in bow at the top.
Grandma will appreciate an embroid-
cred velvet case for her spectacles, and
a tasty autumn-leaf pen-wiper may be
made Of four shades of cloth-red,
brown, old-gold and olive. Cut one of
each color, but of different sizes, into
the form of n maple leaf-for which
natural leaves will serve as patterns
and vein with silk, the red with green,
olive with scarlet, gold with brown, and
brown with yellow. Arrange them in
spray, overlapping each other with
two medium-sized ones in the center,
and small one at the top. Back with
a piece of the olive cloth, and put in
two bits of channels skin for the wiper,
fastening all together with bow of
cardinal and old-gold colored ribbon.
\ pretty design for a wall-pocket is
pair of bellows. The shape of the
bellows should he cut out of thin wood
or pasteboard, and covered with ere
tonne, satin or plush, as may be de-
sired. Three cornered pieces of silk
are fitted in the sides, aud the nozzle is
formed of graduated piece of paste
board, covered with gilt paper The
front may be decorated in any way that
fancy dictates-1gHeS carr, io inner

Political cstyacisn,.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Will you allow me few lines OF your
valuable space to say word or two to my
fellow workmen with whom 1 have lived
and associated for over eight years.
A few years ago I participated in the
organization or workingman's party in
this city, and also with few others tried
to establish paper here in the interest
of the working classes, which proved a
failure at the time, but during these years
1 engendered the enmity of few of the
self-constituted leaders of the Republican
party for not supporting ". D. Washburn
during his first campaign, and was then
told by some of them that [ would live to
regret my action, but needed them not
and kept on in the course which
nv conscience dictated me to pursue
Shortly thereafter left the city, and was
absent over year. About week ago l
returned, principally on visit, but at the
solicitation of some of my friends, who
were DESTROYS of my staying IN the city, L
accepted employment in the job printing
Office of johnson, Smith & Harrison, and
as they were in much need of help, felt
that my situation would probably last as
long as l desired to stay, which would be
until spring. Imagine my surprise when
on last Monday afternoon, at o'clock. the
foreman informed me that he had orders
from the proprietor5 to discharge me at
once. [ asked him the reason of this per-
emptory dismissal; he stated that he
knew not; that he had no fault to find
| with my work, but that had better go to
the counting room and see the proprietors.
| [ then went to the private office and inter
viewed Mr.. G. w. johnson, the political
| member of the firm, who informed me
that they ''did not choose to give any rea-
sons"
For the first time it then dawned on me
that L was ostracised for daring to think
for myself and having the manhood to
publicly assert what thought to be right
and the true political doctrines for the
workingmen.
And further, at the time of my dismissal
I was working on state printing, which Is
paid for by the taxpayers of the state at
large, and not altogether by the Republi-
can leaders and their satellites.
Fellow workingmen, has it come to such
a pass in this enlightened age of political
liberty, that we are to be deprived of work
because we didn't vote to suit the political
coxcombs Of the day?
Believing in the principle that 'the con
Germ of one is the concern of all" L feel 1T
is my duty to give these facts to the pub
| lie, so that the workingmen may know who
the enemies of political liberty and free
dom are. Respectfully,
G. B. G. DoHERry.

A communication to the Rutland(Vt.)
Herald says: In your issue of this morn
ing 1 notice an item referring to silver
gray fox that has recently been killed in
this vicinity. 1t is a general belief that
this fox is a distinct species from the red
fox, but this belief is wrong. The silver
gray or black fox belongs to the ordinary
red fox family, and its color is simply a
freak of nature, which, however, occurs
more frequently in wooded districts than
in the settled portion of the country. l
have often been informed by northern
trappers that where the dam or she fox
was silver gray or black her offspring
was invariable red in color, and have
known but one instance where more than
one silver gray fox has been found among
litter of young foxes. One was presented
to me by the trapper who found 1t. Isent
this fox to relative of mine in Sheldon.
where he remained until two yaars of age,
and was one of the most beautiful animals
1 ever saw. He was afterward purchased
by an agent of Lord Eglington, and, If alive.
is now in that nobleman's park in Scotland.
Where the ends of the majority of the
long hairs of this fox are tipped with white
tits called silver gray, but if the hairs are
tippey with black it is then known as a
black fox. I once saw LOT of several
dozens of these skins that were of all shades,
from nearly white to jet black. Mr.. E. ".
Geer, of Sheldon, some years ago killed a
very fine colored black fox, which was pur-
chased by a Hudson Bay agent. The more
inferior grades of these colored foxes are
known as bastard and the next grade above
as cross foxes.

Hnrd Kood Decorations.

The New York Sun says: The use OF
hard woods for interior decoration is rapid
ly increasing in this city. and even in pub
lie Offices it is now common to see mahog-
any, redwood, and oak all in use, and made
more effective by polished brass fittings.
There is a demand for carved panels, and
artisans are discovering the beauties of our
native woods, and learning to contrast
white oak, the cherry, the sycamore, the
bird's-eye maple, and the ASH with the
polished redwood, whose warm CLEAN of
golden red is so cheerful in the winter.
The use of native woods is certain to de-
velop a taste for wood carving and polish
ing. The Swiss and Bavarian children
take as naturally to wood carving as our
children do to reading. In some of our
schools wood carving and inlaying are al
ready taught, and if the demand continues
we may expect to have American wood
carvers and polishers developing the hid
den beauties of our forests. The scarcity
and high price of walnut called attention
to other trees, and the quartered sycamore
and oak, when highly polished and used
with red wood and both natural and eboniz-
ed cherry,are found to be very effective.

ARGUED AND SUBMITTED.

THE Gambling Case Before Judge Cooler.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Hart of the law
firm of Levi, Cray & Hart, appeared in the
police court to argue the motion to dismiss
the case brought against Frank n. Shaw
and Hastings Alleway, charged with keep
ing a gambling house, while City Attorney
Benton was ON hand to argue in favor of
placing it on trial
Mr. Hart made an eloquent and able
effort. He took up the warrant and argued
that The charges made therein
did not constitute an offense,
as stipulated by The statute or in common
law. It does not allege that the defend
ants either owned or occupied the premis-
es at 2O5 Nicollet avenue, as required by
the statute. The action was brought under
the city ordinance to prohibit gambling.
The city council has no powers to legislate
other than the powers granted it by the
charter, which charter is provided by the
state legislature. This charter does not
give the proper authority for the particu-
bling, and hence the ordinance
is null and void. The warrant does not
allege that the place raided is public
nuisance, and otherwise the city authori-
ties cannot wipe it out. The place is not
a public or common gambling house. The
doors are kept closed and only certain
parties can gain admission and can gam
bic therein. 1t cannot be called public
'uisance. A person has perfect right to
10 Just as he likes in his own house, so
long as it is not public nuisance.
City Attorney Benton followed in an
argument against the dismissal, at the
conclusion of which Judge Cooley took the
matter in advisement, ard will give de-
cision pom the motion on Feb. 3.

Vacation Of Part Of Warren Street and

ST. PAUL, MINI, Jan. 4, 1888. !

Whereas, petition has been fled in this Office,
as provided by law, by order of the Common
Council of the City of st. Paul, asking for the
vacation of Warren street, from Valley street to
Jackson street, and Sherburne avenue, from
Jackson street to the east line OF Ashton street;
and
Whereas, the petitioners state that they are a
majority of the owners of property on the line
of the proposed vacation, and that the object
and reason for such vacation is that that part of
said streets as now laid out arc practically i'm
passable, and to make them passable wonld
greatly damage the property on the line of said
streets and destroy the fine prospect from that
part of the city; that if such vacation should
be made as asked for the petitioners will deed
other property, to changethe line of said streets,
and make them passable, ETC., free of all ex-
pense to the city.
Now, therefore, notice is hereby given tina
said petition viii be heard and considered b
the Common Council of the City of st. Paul, or
a committee to be appointed by them, on Tues
day, the 10th day of February, A. D. 1888, at

Public Parks.

The board of trade committee on public
parks held a meeting yesterday forenoon.
Col. Benton expressed the opinion that the
commission should be an organization
similar to that of the board
of education, a corporation to issue
bonds and locate parks where they thought
best. The issuance Of funds for all city
purposes should be limited to per
cent We can have board of park COM
missioners like the water board, without
power to pledge the city credit, but only
administrative functions, and possessing
only such powers as the city council gives
it. Such committee could not buy, sell
or condemn property. Two-thirds of the
members should be continued in Office,
and five members sho uld go out every
year.
The board will have to meet and organ
lie within three months before the city as
sessment is made. Taxes for current ex-
pense5 are very high and board would
have to be composed of men with a good
deal of sand to get their proportion OF
the assessment. The park commissioners
should be elected by the people. The first
board might be appointed by the bill In
the Legislature.
Col. King advocated locating the largest
park in the vicinity of the lakes, with a
fine, wide boulevard system around the
lakes, wide driveways encircling the city.
He was in favor of number of small
parks in different parts of the city, which
would tend to enhance the value of prop
erty in all directions.
Mr.. DeLaittre favored asking the city
for a small appropriation each year, say
$4,000, for parks.
McNair also believed the park commits
sion should be similar to the board of edu-
cation, with power to condemn and pur-
chase bonds for parks. He thought

the report of the directors which, abiding
to the refusal of the petroleum trade to
join the exchange, states that the exports
of petroleum have fallen off half million
barrels the past year at Philadelphia,while
they increased half million at New York
owing to the Standard Oil company divert

recommends vigorous protest against
this. The trade and railroads are blamed
