Christmas.

When Irving was reproached for de- seribing an English Christmas which he had never seen, he replied that, although every thing that he had described might not be seen at any single house, yet all of 1t could be seen somewhere in Eng- land at Christmas. He might have an- swered, also, that the spirit of what he had described was visible everywhere in Christendom on Christmas Day.
 ''Some say that ever gainst that season
 comes
 Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrate, 1.-The biFd of dswning .singeth all night long; And then, they say, no spirit dares stir
 abroad;
 The nights are wholesome, then no planets
 strike,
 No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to
 charm,
 So ha!lowed and so gracious is the time"
 This is the Christmas sentiment of to- day, as it was of Shakespeare's time. It is the most human and kindly of sea- sons, as fully penetrated and irradiated with the feeling of human brotherhood, which Is the essential spirit of Christian ity, as the month of June with sunshine and the balmy breath of roses. Santa Claus coming down the chimney loaded with gifts is but the symbol of the grs. cious influence which at this time de- scends from heaven into every heart. The day dawns with benediction; it passes in holiday happiness, and ends in soft and pensive regret. It could not be the most beautiful of festivals if it were doctrinal, or dogmatic, or theological, or local. It is a universal holiday because it is the jubilee of universal sentiment, moulded only by a new epoch, and sub tly adapted to the new forms of the old faith

An Unpleasant Experience.

An Oxfordshire woman met with an experience a few days days back which should act as warning tointending wis., itors to lunatic asylums. The person in question journeyed to Dittlemore, vil- lage four miles from Oxford, where there is an asylum, with the intention of visiting a female patient. The porter, having admitted her, passed her on to one of the matrons with the words ''to visit female patient ;" but the matron appears to have caught only the last words of the sentence, and mistake re- suited which caused the visitor good deal of unpleasantuess. The stranger was taken to the top of the building, un. der the belief that she was going to see her friend, and then she was suddenly shut into ap empty room. Shortly af- terward a nurse entered, and, to the con- sternation of the visitor, at once pro- ceeded to undress her. Protestations were unavailing, and the poor woman was stripped and placed in bath, after which she was forcibly put to bed. By this time the mistaken lunatic was, of course, in a frantic state of alarm, which only favored the belief that she was really mad woman. Where this grue- some farce might have ended it is not pleasant to contemplate; but by lucky accident the mistake was discovered later in the day, and the unfortunate woman was set at liberty with profuse apolo-

Capturing a Ghost.
A YOUNG MAN IN woMAN's DRESS FREES MYSTIC FROM A TERROR INSPIRING YIsITANT.


 Three ghosts have been frightening the women and children of the village of Mystic, Conn. flor several weeks. Women and girls were ct first pursued almost nightly by tall, white figure that rose up suddenly from the wayside and zee med to their excited fancy to float swiftly on the wind toward them. They sped down the street closely chased by the apparition and dashed into their homes out of breath and fell on the floor. At length the terror became so general that few women and girls ven- tured out of their houses sfter dark and when they did so hurried along inc roads, often turning an affrighted glance over their shoulders lest the three ghosts might steal on them unawares. Next a company of young men was or ganized to lay in wait with loaded shot, | guns for the ghostly disturbers of the peace, and several parties stayed out all night for week or more, at different points about the village, lying in the | frosted grass behind walls or fences, or t
 I in the shadow of unlighted buildings. No spectre appeared in the silent streets ] and the watchers went home and thawed out in the chimney place with draughts of hot cider. Thereupon committee of two or three young men arrayed them selves ill hoop skirts, dresses and bon nets and after dark minced coquettishly up and down the sidewalks hoping to i lure the ghosts into pursuing them. For two nights the ruse was without result, but few evenings ago one of the ghosts was tempted out. He sprang at one of the masqueraders who at first fled, leading the ghost on, until he sud. denly wheeled, and, throwing his arms around the ghost, held him in a merci- less hug. The captive was lugged be- fore a Peace Justice, who had him locked up. The ghost was a jack-of-all- trades of the village. He was sentenced
 to thirty days in jail for disturbing the peace.
 The other ghosts have not been seen
 since the arrest of the first one.

The United States Senate.

One of the strange customs of the Senate is tho annual exchange of cards between Senators. Every Senator is supposed to call during the season upon every one of his colleagues. This GUS tom has been abridged into an annual exchange of cards. Upon fixed day after the season opens each Senator sends out seventy. five cards to his Sen atorial associates, and if the mails work well the Senator finds next morning upon his desk seventy-fve cards from Senatorial associates. This may seem q trifi9 absurd among digniiied men who sec each other every day, but rude and careless would be the Senator who would try to break down the custom. He would very soon feel the result of his neglect in his loss of dinner invitations. As dinners are the chief incidents in the career of q Senator, great care is taken to observe every requirement of etiquette necessary to keep the dinuer-ball nov ing. Avery rigid system of bookkeeping is employed in connection with dinner giving. Each man invited has a dinner charge against him, and when he comes to give Q dinner he must discharge his debts by inviting all who have fed him before he can go outside the circle of his creditors for guests.
 A Senator in talking about the pres ent spirit of harmony and good-fellow- ship that prevails in the Senate said l: "I was never before associated with men who appear-to be so utterly devoid of all spirit of envy or jealousy. There is great deal of good-natured chaff going on, but there is nothing malicious i'll the floating badinage of the cham ber." He continued: "I suppose it can be accounted for in measure Most of the men who reach the Senate have been through so much in getting there. The average Senator has been hunted by bloodhounds, torn by tigers and tramped on by wild elephants in his
 tme, and all this has a tendency to take everything small out of his disposition" "

Away went the Fish.

A ten-ton tank wagon of creosote oil was dispatched from Newcastle, Eng, to the north. While it was passing along the Caledonian line at Binckford it Was discovered that brass plug three inches in diameter in the bottom of the tank, and used for emptying it, had fallen out. The leakage was so great that the ground between the rails for thirty yards was covered with oil fully three inches in depth. The station master at Blackford and the porters en- deavored to pug the hole with waste, but before the leakage was stopped the tank was nearly empty. By this time the stream of oil was rushing over the north embankment of the railway into an adj lcent field, where there is a drain to the river Allan, a distance of 150 yards. The oil, getting into the con- duit, poured into the river, killing every living thing as far down as Duublane. Thousands of fish lay dead ill the river, no fewer than 300 being counted in one pool. The eels were all killed, and a number of water rats were poisoned. The Allan is a favorite stream with anglers, but it is stated that years must elapse before the river is restored to the condition in which il was before the &C., cident

A Pair or Large Shoes.

A pair of No. thirty-five shoes have just been sent by a Lynn, Mass, shoe manufacturer to their owner colored preacher of Charlotte, N. c. The length from heel to toe is just twenty inches, and the width of ball, including a pro- tuberance that may be corn and may be natural, is a trifle over seven and a half inches. Some idea of the ''tout ensemble" may be gained from the fact that pasteboard copy of the sole of one of the shoes, which a reporter carried in his overcoat pocket, extended from the lowest depth of tine pocket to the arm pit. The copy was taken from meas urement of the bootless foot of the cler- gyman, and those who know pronounce 1t exact. From the forward end of the sole piece the size of a dessert-plate could easily be cut.
