Christmas at Ozark.

JERUSALEM, OHIo, Dec. 70, 1874.
Ed. SPIRIT: 1t was our privilege 10
be present at the annual entertainer t
OF the Sabbath School in the M. f
Church st Ozark on Christmss night.
The first object that attracted our at
tention upon entering the church, was
the tree, Q beautiful evergreen. erected
near the pulpit platform, which was
laden to its utmost capacity with pres
ents for the old as we'll as the young
Due credit should he given the executive,
and other committees for the tasteful
manner in which the room was decora-
ted: beau'iful notices adorned the END
and side walls Of the room; among the
number was one bearing the inscriptions.
"Peace on earth good will toward
men,"
"A merry Christmas and q happy
New Year."
After the house was called to order by
T. J Griffith Esq, the choir sung GLORY
to God in the highest" followed by
pray'r by Mr. Ira L Adams. The

would not be present, owing to sickness
in his family. The choir led by R. IS j.
Griffith snng "Coming One and All" and
truly they did come, until the building
was filed to It's utmost seating capacity
After another piece Of music was fur
nished by the choir, Santa Claus entered
the church, accompanied by his wife
and children. laden With candies for the
little folks. Mr.. Santa Claus stated In
q short speecb, that owing to the loss
OF bic reindeer team, he could not give
each one very much, but by the assist
ance of his wife and children wonld be-
enabled to present each one with a small
quantity. isasS
After the distribution OF the presents
by q committee of young ladies and
gentlemen. the choir sang "good night"
and the audience left the church in an
orderly manner, which was one of the
browning features OF ths occasion.

OHIO AND THE CABINET.
Politicians Who Think PendletOn
Will be Secretary of state.

WAsHrxeroY, Dec. 23-There has
been very interesting controversy &C.
ing on in q quiet way among the 0 10
politicians over the question OF who is
TO be the man to represent Oslo In Cleve
land's Cabinet. For time it looked as
il Thurman would have the preference
but it is apparent now that Pendleton
has the lead. There are great many
reasons why Pendleton should he pre-
ferred. In the first place he is q grea.
favolite with the civil service reformers
and the Independents. He was the first
politician OF either party who had the
courage to take the lead in securing civil
service reform legislation. There is no
doubt but what this boldness cost him
his seat in the Senate. The Cleveland
Administration will come in pledged to
. civil service reform policy, and it is
thought here that there cou'd be nothing
more appropriate than the selection OF
Mr.. Pendleton. the father OF legislative
civil service reform. II Bayard should
take the Secretarysbip of the Treasury
then it is probable that Pendleton would
be offered the Secretary ship Of State
Mr.. Pendleton Is man who would
grace the highest place in the gift OF the
Government. He is shove the arts OF
the demagosue and has flawless record
as public man. He is 8 gentleman OF
great wealth and one OF the most liberal
entertainers ever known in Washington.

~ Mr.. Blaine's absolute refusal to
pine away and die is extremely annoy
ing to the Democratic newspapers
Tribune
No, you are mistaken. The thing that
is annoying is to see Mr. Blaine walking
about in his agony, exhibiting bis sad
wounds and stopping occasionally TO
stab himself 10 the vitals with some such
terrible instrument az his last epistle to
the Ephesians OF Indiana. That Nature
will not permit a man to expire after all
this torture is really sad. Mr.. Blame is
simply the modern sndu-
ring always the pangs OF political death,
but never exactly dying Verdi.

"Some OF the country Postmasters 'at
Presidential Offices have written to the
Postoffice Department saying that they
would like to resign If they can have the
privilege OF nominating the name OF q
Democrat to succeed them. To oil such
letters the Postmaster General has re-
piled that II the writer desires to tender
bis resignation it will be accepted, but
as this IS Republican Administration a
Republican will be appointed 10 succeed
him just as long as it remains in power

secure the appointment OF such Demo
crats as will be entirely acceptable to the
Republicans in those communities.

will be given in our columns early in

feated was not the fault OF certain
hounds on that Committee who profess
TO be Democrats, and who, no doubt,
will go to Washington in 1885 seeking
positions There they will be confront
