Christmas Festivities in Queen Eliza
heth's GirlhOOd.

Detn OIfl0OOu.
It was Christmas Eve. The great hall
of Hatfield House cleaned with the light
of many candles that flashed upon sconce
and armOr and polished floor. Holly and
nlistletoe, rosemary and bay, all the
decorations of an old-tine English Christ
mas were tastefully arranged. A'burst of
laughter rang through the hall, as through
the ample doorway, and down the broad
stair, trooped the motley train otthe Lord
of Misrule to open the Christmas revels.
A fierce and ferocious looking fellow was
he, with his great green mustache and his
ogre-like face. His dress was a gorgeous
parti-colored jerkin and halEhoes, trunks,
ruff sIouch-boots of Cordova leather, and
high befeathered steeple hat. His long
staff, topped with fools head, cap and
bells, rang loudly on the floor, as, pre-
ceded by his diminutive but pompous
page, he led his train around and around
the great hall, Justify singing the chorus:
Like Prince and King he leads the ring;
Right merrily we go. Sing hey-trix trim-go-
triN,
Under the mis- tletoeH'
"A menagerie let loose or the most dys-
peptic Of alter-dinner dreams could not be
more bewildering than was this motley
train Of the Lord of Misrule. Giants and
dwarfs, dragons and griffins, hobby-horses
and goblins, Robin Hood and the Grand
Turk, bears and boars and fantastic
animals that never had a name, boys
and girls, men and women, in every
imaginable costume and device-around
and around the hall they went, still ring
ing out the chorus:
"sing hey-trix, trim-go-trix,
Under the mistletoer'
Then, standing in the center of his
court, the Lord of Misrule bade his herald
declare that from Christmas Eve to
Twelfth Night he was Lord Supreme;
that, with magic art, he transformed all
there into children, and charged them, on
their fealty, to act only as such. 81

A windy winter you shall see;
Windy weather in each week,
And hard tempests, strong and thick.
The summer shall be good and dry,
Corn and beasts shall multiply;
That year is good for lands TO till,
Kings and Princes shall die by skill;
fla child that day born should be,
1t shall happen right well for thee.

Wise of speech and reasonable.

He shall be punished without doubt;
And if sickness that day betide,

TOO MUCH -.MONKEYING."

With all u regard for Samual j..
Tilden; with all our loyalty to the ticket
Of '76, and notwithstanding our belief
that Tilden and Hendricks are the proper
candidates for the Democracy Of "a, We
must confess to a sense of WEAKNESS,
brought on by the equivocal attitude
that Mr.. Tilden persists in towards his
party. The nomination is his, if he will
only accept. It is his, in advance, by
reclamation; but the Democracy want to
know explicitly whether he is willing or
unwilling. This morning we publish a
dispatch stating that q prominent men,
Der Of the Iroquois Club has interviewed
Mr.. Tilden in regard to his candidacy.
and that Mr.. Tilden says if the
Democrats tender him an acclamatory
nomination he will take it. Who
knows whether this means any
thing or not? It looks as though the
Sage of Gramercy Park is posing as a
puzzler and playing a little game known
as ''now You see it and now you DON'T"
We believe that the Sage is out of the
field; but he is just skillful enough to
deprive anybody of the ability to say
whether he is or not. We are glad, at
any rate, that a man whom we regard
as about the strongest man the Demo-
Gratis can put up, next to Tilden, is
being mentioned along with him. Judge
Cothrin, the prominent member of the
I~roquois Club, referred to, says that,
in case Tilden is not nominated, Hon.
Roswell p. Flower of New York
(whose name for the place was men
toned first in the Eureka SENTINEL)
will be the choice of the Democrats.
1t speaks well for the strength of Mr..
Flower that he is favorably considered
in the Northwest.

WHAT EDmUNDs WON'T Do.

WHAT EDMUNDS WON'T DO.
The New York Sun says there is no
doubt that Senator Edmunds has .
large circle of admirers, and there are
also those who do not exactly admire
him, but still think he would be availa-
BILE as a Republican candidate for the
Presidency.
Unquestionably he is an able lawyer,
and for a Republican politician he is un.
usually independent in his opinions and
acts; but he is not independent enough
to satisfy the requirements of patriotism
and Justice. He bore a prominent part
in the shameful transactions which estab-
lished Mr.. Hayes in the White House
after Mr.. Tilden had been lawfully
elected. This fact constitutes a blot
which can never be wiped away from the
character of Mr.. Edmunds.
Nevertheless, there are good points
about the Vermont Senator which the
public have not been wont to appreciate
ct their full value. As becomes a phil
osopher, he is free from the more malig-
liant antagonisms of partisanship. Thus,
when he and the gallant old Roman of
the Democracy. Thurman of Ohio, were
both members of the Senate, they main-
tanned a cordial intimacy, notwithstand-
ing the hostility of their political aims;
and it was not to see these
two foes of the arena taking their toddy
together like brothers in the Senate bar.
room. Only men of high intellectual
calibre can thus throw aside the sharp
sword of controversy and indulge to-
gether in the cheering and inebriating
social cup.
But is there no chance that Mr.. Ed
munds may get the Republican nomi-
nation? Not much, we should say. A
statesman of Vermont in the Republi-
can party has about as poor a show for
this high distinction as a statesman from
Delaware in the Democratic party. Yer
mont is sure for the Republicans any
way, and what they are looking for is
a candidate who may fairly hope to
carry New York, Ohio and Indiana.
Besides, since the truth must be told,
there is in the minds of politicians of the
Middle and Western States, and of Re-
publican politicians especially, an I'M
conquerable prejudice against the promo
ton of any New England Yankee to the
craftsmanship of this grand old party of
fraud and moral ideas. They would
rather have a third-rate man from Penn
sylvania, Ohio or Illinois, than a first
rate man from Vermont or Massachu-
sets. This senseless prejudice operates
powerfully in favor Of Mr.. Blaine, who
is only a New Highlander by accident and
emigration, while at heart he remains a
Pennsylvania.
Moreover, Mr.. Edmunds has few
warm personal friends who will work for
him and fight for him. Nothing in his
cold, logic, and rather cranky nature at
taches men to his cause. Let Blaine
appear in a throng of strangers and in 20
minutes he will be the f~avorite of the
crowd; while Edmunds might absorb
three cocktails at the bar around which
they are gathered, and not a soul OF the
whole lot would warm to him or long
for his presence after he had gone away.
We conclude. then, that Mr.. Ed
munds will remain in the Senate. 1t
is much the more congenial post for
him, and with all his peculiarities, he is
sure, as long as he continues there, to be
Of service to his country.
