FATHERS LETTER.

The following letter from a father
to his Young married daughter. wa:
written by a well.known citizen o
Kirksville, on receiving the news thai
she had become a mother. We sup.
press the names and give the letter
nearly entire, for the sentiments ex.
pressed in it:
DEAR DAU UGHTER:-M-a and LIS
letters have just come 20 hand and in
form me that you are mother. God
bless you my child! You are now
among those who occupy the highest
positions on earth, and one that has
the most responsibilities, and IS entl-
ted to the sweetest name known
among us-"Mother' name that
follows us from the Cradle to the
Crave" and becomes dearer and
dearer; it matters not how late IN
life We arrive 1t the finale, To be a
mother in truth and iE all that the
name implies, requires nobler quail
ties than man possesses. There are
many trials when only mothers heart
will conquer many tear to be she'd
that must come from a mothers eye,
and God bless the lips that kisses those
from her cheek; many kind words to
be spoken, that must be clothed with
mothers voice; many a request
to be refused or granted, that the
mother alone can decide. 1t is the
mothers ear that hears the uncertain
sound her eye that pierces the dark
ness and sees the danger. Mother is
the wisest counsellor, the kindest critic !;
first and best fticnd. While the
tongue yet unskilled in framing
speech, the mother anticipates the
child's wants, and with willing hands
administers to its necessities: moth
er's feet are never too tired or weary
to do her offspring good. You have
beer child, daughter, and l am
proud of you, now you are wife and
a mother. May he who knows
mothers trials best, and is best ac-
quainted with her joys, help you to oc-
cupy the position as becometh a
woman. l believe you have a COM
panion worthy and willing to help bear
The burden oflife, and share the joys !;
may the path of lie be never too rough
or too narrow for you both to walk side
by side, and 'hand in hand.'' Look
only short distance down life's path
and see little form coming, tears run
ming down the little cheeks, holding
out its little hand bearing bruised
finger, TOO painful to be endured any
longer than mother is found. See the
magic ofa kiss; the pain ceases, a
kind word and the tears stop. She
clasps the child in her arms and all is
changed to patient endurance.
The whole world bows to the mother.
She kisses pain into pleasure; sorrow
into joy Z: WEAKNESS into rest the few
cred lips into moisture; hunger into
and almost death into life.
Her sphere cannot be circumscribed.
Its breadth would be from the begin
ming to eternity. It's heights from
hease en- to almost as deep as the love o
God. May you and yours live to enjoy
he comforts Of life and this precious
,ift. Yours as ever,

paper publishes manifesto from Senior
Ruise Gorilla, Radical, dated London, Dec.

revolution in Spain inevitable, which is
certain to succeed and it will not be long

only form of government that will allow
spain to enjoy order, morality, justice and
liberty. Whether the future struggle shall
be one of peace or one of arms, the day of
battle will be day of victory. Our motto
always will be "Never com premise with
BoUrbons."

LONDON, Dec. 15.---The queen yesterday
paid her annual tribute to the memory of
the late Prince Consort, by visit to his
monsoleum at Frogmore. The impressive
ceremonies which have always heretofore
been performed the 14lh of December, the
anniversary of the princes death, were
practically omitted. This Prince of Wales
was for the first time unaccountably alb
sent, and quite sensation was created by
the manifest Indifference displayed by
nearly all the members of the royal fam
lily, not excepting the queen herself, on this
unusually solemn occasion.
The general condemnation Of the hu-
initiating irresolution of the ministry Oh
the Egyptian question has diverted eriti-
cism from the prime minister's second
choice for the speakership of the house of
commons. 1t is not believed Mr.. Goschen.
the FfemIer'5 first nominee. really declined
to be candidate for the chair on the
ground of short sightedness. It is
thought that was merely pretext alleged
through reluctance to weaken his party by
an open declaration of his unwillineness
TO endorse ministry whose policy he dis
trusts on many points. AS speaker, Mr..
Goschen would have commanded the re-
spect and confidence of all elements of the
house, but Mr. Arthur W. Peel is regarded
as rather too small man for the chair in
the commons. Public estimate does not
assign to him either the qualities of mind
OF the parliamentary training to fit
him for apart which nov is far more
responsible, difficuls and delicate than it
used to be In pre-obstruction days.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.I
NKw YORK, Dec. 15.-The market ap-
peared to be thoroughly demoralized at
the opening. The Willard stocks, Union
Pacific and Louisville & Nashville were
very weak, without any spirit. Consider
ing the general situation, the grangers
were very strong. Daring the first hour
there was considerable good buying, and
the shorts covered freely round the room,
and there were indications of rally. This
was of short duration, and the market
again took on weakness.
Transactions were very large in the Vii
lard stocks, and report came out that the
committee appointed TO examine the Ore
gon and Northern Pacific books had been
refused access to them by
the officers of the compa-
MES, and with the report that Willard
refused to show up the sale of these stocks
was very pronounced. In due course of
time the rnmor was contradicted, bub
there was steady selling of long stock in
the Northern Pacific, and it is noticeable
that large part of it came from the Bel
mont interest. The large shorts took the
stock. There was slight rally during the
fore part of the last hour, and Northwest
ern appeared to desire to 60 up, but with
free selling in New York Central, Union
Pacific and the Wizards the improve
ment was soon lost The bank statement
shows an increase in the reserve OF $685.

The market closed wild and ragged, as

made large advances on the Wizards, have

The dealing in Louisville g. Nashville is
attributed to rumors current that

knowledge of such issue and say the story
was started by New Orleans papers. T e
