CHRISTMAS GREETING,

Christmas is coming, It soon will be here.
And it's only ten days from the end Of the
Yet, before this time comes we want all
to remember
That we have lots Of fine candies for the
18th OF December.
We can sell you = basket corn stocking
And they're all strictly pure, and thus
will remain.
Although our good neighbors do prices
cut down,
they're gone from our town.
They can cut down the prices and injure
But in trying to kill others they kill them
We win hold to fair prices. or the goods
And not try to. ruin others just to build
up ourselves.
So we say to our patrons. don't you think
we are right
In asking only fair profits and keeping
And when the wars Ger, and the leaders
are slain,
With r. Merchant & Co.'S factory will the
laurel remain.
When candy ia sold for less than sugar At
cost
It's either not pure or some money il lost:
And Y they lose money they seek to al
lure
And that's plain proof that their goods
are not pure.
SO come one and all little and big, rich
and poor,
And buy your candies at our candy store
Then when al! this cheap trash in our
town Is sold out,
You still will remain healthy. rugged and
stout.

ALLEGED Harmony.

The most important omen visible upon the
political horizon at present is tho harmoni-
Gus attitude Of the democratic factions in
New York. The county democracy recently
held meeting and decided upon the plan of
conducting primaries. Hereafter all pre-
liminary meetings arc to be under the i'm
mediate direction and control of the said
county democracy. The Tammany and Ir-
wing Hall democrats are TO be permitted to
participate in the voting, but not as ropre-
sentatives of their organizations. In other
words thoy are to DO absorbed by tho county
democracy and lose their distinctive char
actersties. This pretty plan of harmony
was adopted with hurrah, and the state dem.
ocratic committee notified in order to clinch
the matter in advance, and thus wipe out
both of the halls at one fell swoop. The
Irving Hall faction is little weakling, and
will probably permit itself to ingloriously
suffer this absorption. Tammany, however
is made of sterner stuff, and looks upon the
action of the county men with naughty dis
dain. Commenting upon the aspect of affairs,
the Troy Times says that I" in urmind's eye we
SEQ at this moment John Kelly and other
magnates of Tammany condescendng to cast
their individual votes at the various polling
booths set up by the county democracy, but
we do not expect anybody will witness such a
spectacle with the organs of physical vision"
When Mr.. Kelly and his lieutenants shall
contentedly cast their ballots as ordinary
private citizens, and thereby abdicate their
power and influence not only upon the En-
pirc state, but upon the nation, it may be con-
sdered that truly the end of all things
draweth nigh"

CourttnE In Burmnh.

Courting in Burmah is attended with some
difficulties and Inconvenience which Ameri-
can young folks arc happily free fro m. Most
of tho houses in that country are built on
give that privacy to courtsh ip which is al
ways desirable, the old folks must either go
out of the house or go to bed. The latter al
tentative is generally chosen, though it not
unfrequently happens that the mater familias
has convenient hole in the wall
near her couch through which she can
catch on occasion al sound, and thus in way
superintend affairs. The Burmah young
women are given to painting their cheeks and
their nails as a part of the toilet and this be-
ing dono she gives signal for her swain, who,
being on the lookout and generally sccompa-
MED by one or two companions, is not slow to
respond.
The young men of Burmah have fancy for
playing on violins with but two strings, and
each one makes some particular notes ON his
fiddle, which his sweetheart recognizes, an
sweriug tho place Of the English or American
"w histle and I'll come to you, my dear"
The courting is usually done by the young
man taking position between the posts which
sustain the house and whispering his love
through the cracks of the bamboo floors. AT
ter all it can scarcely be doubted that the
American plan is the best, barring the little
romance of dodging among piles and making
horrid music on two-stringed fiddle.

III. UUe,d NIoncxv Case.

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 21.-This morning
Justice Blatchford began the hearing in the
celebrated head money" case the merits of
which are briefly as follows: In August, 1882,
congress passed a law requiring that fifty
cents should be paid on every alien passenger
coming to the United States. The steamship
companies have paid the money to the col
lector of the port under protest, and the COM
panies now bring suit to recover back the
sums so paid on the grounds-first, that the
law is Unconstitutional; and second, that it is
in violation of existing treaties between the
United States and foreign powers. Tho gov
ernmeut, however, claim-frst, that the law
is constitutional; and second, that If it does
conflict with tho treaty, it prevails because 1t

Princes md Princesses.

A number of American boys and girls
OF princess. In some respects it might be
very pleasant but in others it is thing not
to be desired. We are led to these reflec-
tions by the ordinary life of the children of
Queen Victoria. During the life of the
prince consort, the young princes and prin-
cesses had good time. and enjoyed all of the
pleasures of domestic life. The prince
was genial, happy and afrectonate man,
who allowed no royal etiquette
to stand in the way of the happiness of his
children. He rollicked and played with them
and made them happy. Since his death,
however, things arc greatly changed. No
one of the royal children ever sees the queen
except by special and formal permission. And
this applies to the elder children as we'll as
the younger. When the Princess Louise re-
turned to England from Canada and arrived
at Windsor castle she was kept waiting for
hours before she could see her royal
mother. And when she did see her
she met with reproof we'll calcu-
lated to chill her feelings. She was dressed
in crimson gown, with stockings of
the same color. The queen perceiving the
color of her stockings, at once ordered her
to retire and change her crimson for white
hose. This seems Q. small matter, but it ut
terly destroys the kindly affectionate rela,
tions which ought to exist between mother
and daughter, no difference if tho mother is a
queen. We advise our young lady friends
not to make themselves miserable because
they are not princesses.

He has also received a report from Surgeon
Smith in charge of the Cape Charles quaran-
tine in regard to the arrival of the Norwegian
bark Salomc heretofore reported by telegraph
and now in quarantine at that station. He
gives brief history of the vessel, from which
it appears that she left Cardiff, Wales, Feb.
for Vera Cruz, Mexico, with crew consist
ing of eleven persons. The health of the
crew remained good until the cargo was dis
charged Mt Vera Cruz, when on June
10, Ordinary Seaman Soren Aslagsen
was taken down with yellow fever
and died in three days of black
vomit. The captain had the fever juno 16,
but recovered, and tho entire ships crew
were taken down in rapid succession. The
Saome sailed from Vera Cruz June 20 for
Galveston, Tex, where she arrived July /,
and was ordered to the outer quarantine.
The day following the first mate, NJ Il. Nell
son, was taken with the fever and died July
&. passenger named Guerre, of New York,
who took passage at Vera Cruz, was attacked
July 2, and died July A.. The last death was
that of Ole Tobiason, seaman, who was
taken sick July g. and died July ii, the
day of sailing from Galveston making n
total of four deaths (three of black vo omit),
one at Vera Cruz, two at Galveston, and one
at sea. Ono convalescent was left at Vera
Cruz. An additional unacclimated seaman
was shipped at Galveston. On arrival mt
Lynn Haven Roads, Aug. Ii, all were found
comparatively well, thirty. one days having
elapsed since the last death or case of any
kind. The last man shipped has thus far
escaped the fever. The vessel was fumigatod d
and disinfected at Galveston. She enjoys
the distinction of being the first infected
vessel to arrive at our shores with yollow
fever during the present year.
Commodore English, acting secretary OF
the navy, received telegram from the COM
mandant of the Pensacola navy yard request
ing that court of inquiry be ordered TO in

since July 30, that vessel has visited Arichat,
Port Hawkesbury, Port Hood, Pictou, and
Cape Causo. He says that Pctou, in COM
mon with other around these provinces, has
suffered much on account of doing away with
reciprocity with the United States. There
were no American vessels in Pictou, and only
one at Charottetown. No American fisher
men were met except at Cape Canso, but

Nor only docs Ohio claim the champion
ship as monopolizing everything earthly with
Ter men, but her women are fast coming to
the front in the same role. Miss Chamber
lain, of Ohio, is favorite belle in London
society, and especially in the Prince of
Wales sect. A London poet has been lead
into verses about her, of which we give a
specimen:
OF all the gay and gifted crew,
Here brought by kindly steam and steeraget
Our commons Golfers to renew,
Or to gild the British peerage,
Not one upon our hearts has played
With powers like this Ohio maid.
A woman who can draw that sort of writing

The Onto JnyhnNyiIer.

During tho late civil war there existed q
class of mon whose natural aptitude for theft
became notorious, and they were for some
occult reason donomnated "jayhawkers" A
young journalist in Ohio at that time adopted
the term jayhawker as a nom do plume,
whether because Of his alliance with the regu-
lar expert purloiners or because of his genius
as news stealer no ono knows. He has im-
pressed his individuality upon the journalism
of the western pivotal state at various times,
butnover so prominently as during the present
campaign. The latest illustration Of the appro-
priatonoss of his pseudonym was tho able act
of 'iayhawking" from Judge Hoadly his most
important political secret, the purchase of his
nomination. Following his victim with Won
dcrful portinacity, he docs not hesitate now
to give the names of mon by whom ho can
prove the $4,000 purchase. Writing to a
friend, he says that "he Hoadlyl has re-
poatGd it to other persons and they have told
Mr.. Mclean. As they happen to be men
with whom am not acquainted, and who are
Judge lIoadly's party friends, it can hardly
be charged that there was n conspiracy"
This being the case, it is no wonder that the
gi gantic twenty six inch mouth of the demo-
cratic nominee is not equal to the occa-
sion. Speak he never 50 ably and
cloquently, Judge Hoadly cannot OBJ
litcrate tho damaging statements of
the sleuth hound upon his track. Wherever
he goes his perfdious action is confronting
him, and his auditors interrupt him with,
"How about that SjOOOo?" Under his lead
ership the Ohio democracy is in Il panicky
condition. They know pretty well where
they will find themselves after election, and
the prospect is far from pleasant Moreover,
the division in the ranks of the party cannot
be healed in time for the important contest
in 1854. 1t is foregone conclusion almost
that the present disaster will disrupt
the party and ro nder reorganization well
nigh futile for the coming national
election. Probably no one man ever
succeeded in demolishing a compact organ
ization and demoraizing it so completely
as has Judge Hoadly. All this because a sue
cessful "jayhawker' was at the right place at
tho right time with his little note book. II
anything was needed to add to the weight ol
misfortune which has betallen Ohio democ
racy it was the recent convention of Hamil.
ton county. On that occasion the leading
men of the party publicly gavc expression tc
the hopelessness of their condition. Among
them was Mr. John G. Thompson
who pledged himself to number o.
people that he would mot vote for either
Hoadly or Myers, and predicted the election
of Foraker by 10000 majority" That SEEM
to bo the general expression and OK
pectancy of tho leading men of the OBJ
structionist party in Ohio, not excepting
oven those who, for policy's sake, are making
strong public efforts for the success of thei
candidate. Judge Hoadly is defeated man
and one ruined politically. He gave ava.
his few chances of success at the very outse
of the contest to disiuterested andfriendly
'.jayhawker."
