EVENTS AND COMMENTS.

Anew days more, and Santa Claus
king.
AN EASTERN exchange comes to u
with the startling announcement Mr.
Smith Arrested Again" The poor MAJ
seems to be born to trouble.
BEE. BUrrLER has sold his granite house
IN Washington for $75,O 900, and some
papers are mean enough to insinuatt
that Ben's late little boom is the direct
cause Of the sale.
THERE ARE two thousand seven hun
bred and ninty-three dogoned fools In
Colorado, - says mountain newspaper
This is based upon the st. John-B Butler
vote, and is accurate"
Nh. TALMAGE, preacher of Brooklyn,
has gone 10 New Orleans to help the
exhibition. ''-Ec. If Mr.. Talmage has
taken MS mouth with him, the exhibi-
will nave TO cope with a rival show.
AN ApvIRER of our own Chester says:
Chester s. Arthur has filed the posi-
ton of President wisely and well, and
retires gracefully" A man who can
successfully wear and manipulate $50
pairs Of pants 4 year, certainly ought TO
have some ability in other directions.
Ty,or oil in
LAFAYETTE, Ind, when the noted inhdel
had finished one of his fiercest passages,
State Senator Stein, arose in his seat,
and shouted so that the house runS:
Colonel, I protest against ah bias
phemyr" Ingersoll, unabashvd, yelled
back, and only as he can yell; $50 out,
thenr' Stein stood silent moment,
and then left the hall. Ingersoll finish

Coz. II. c. PARSONS, friend of Blaine, /
writes as follows: 81 have no sympathy |
with the sentiment that would give the
South lesser place in the councils of
the nation or the conduct of its affairs.
Never did an army so honorably keep
the terms of surrender as that at APP
-pomattox. am a twice-wounded Union
soldier, and a Republican, and yet see
no peril 70 the republic in the fact that
tire rIrvTI Who for twenty years have
Loyalty helped to pay the national debt
and pensions are now given day in
which to prove their good faith and
loyalty, and their right to stand and
claim an equal share in the government
OF the Union"
ANOTHER EXAMPLE of the enterprise
OF great American journals, was that
OF the New York Times in securing the
full text of the Spanish treaty by cable
from Madrid. 1t was impossible to
secure the document in Washington, so
negotiations were opened by cable with
a gentleman in Madrid, who secured a
copy at the cost of $1,000. 1t was at
once ordered, in spite of the fact that
cable tolls are sixty-six cents a word, (
and reached New York in small sections {
was translated from the Spanish and re-
vised IN time for Mondays paper, since !
which zine it has been the news sensa- S
ton 81 the year. The entire cost was
$3.50. The benefits of such work are I
shared by the entire press of the coun- I
try, as the wide discussion of the treaty
IL all its details has shown.
The DISPLAY of holiday goods, not
withstanding theory of dull times, was.
perhaps, never better than during the
present season. There are many start
ling novelties in the market, and especi-
ally are the toy shops stocked with the
newest and rarest. There will be con-
siderable scheming, plotting and plan
ming done during the next few days, and
many mamma and papa who are finty- E
hearted for eleven months in the year J
will argue with themselves, the necessity s
for buying this and that-for indulging q
In the little eXtravagances that make the /
childrens' lives worth living for. After
all, he is a bad kind of a man whose l
heart does not beat to happier tunes as the ID
greatest holiday in the year approaches; C
whose purSe-stringS are not loosened 5
with less reluctance, and who tan look
upon the JOY his money has brought the
young ones, without feeling he is the
better for it. /
A POLISH physician who has expert >
mented with tobacco upon a great num- ;
Der of men and animals, says that tobac- :,
CO smoke is a powerful poison even in q
very small quantities. When not inhal d
ed too freely the smoke IS injurious only 8,
to limited extent. The poison is not 7
entirely due to nicotine. Tobacco smoke
freed from nicotine remains poisonous. l
though not to so great a degree as be- y
iOre. In cigar smoking the greatest
amount poison is inhaled, in cigarettes
mich less and in mines loss still nsrI-
