Commission will take no cognizance OF the
obligations coming due, although said debts
were contracted in connection with the
Water Department of this city.
The first day of January 1885 will find in
the city treasury $50 0OO and not only are a
majority of the appropriations already ex-
hausted, but in January the Council will be
drawn upon by the Board of Education for
s4s, 900 and by the Water Commission for
$50, OOo-and there will be yet six months Of
the fiscal year to run. From the 10th
day of January until the 1st day of July
there will not be one cent in the city treas
ury to meet current expenses and, who is to
blame? The indications now are that in the
very commencement Of 1885 the wheels of
our municipal government will be clogged.
There will be no money to pay for lighting
the public thoroughfares; there will be no
funds for the patrolmen; there will be n
money to conserve our sanitary interests,
but what will strike the average City Coun'
Gilman with inexpressible horror will be the
thought that there is no longer any encour

The Merry Christmas Day.

Amid all the festivals which gladden. the
hearts of mankind there are none SO radiant
with holy joy and gladness as the Feast Of
the Nativity. Next Thursday the whole
civilized world will attest its veneration for
the day which gave birth to the Saviour of
mankind.
Christmas has come. 1t is bleak Decem
Der without, but ithin there is the warmth
of atmosphere, as well as the warmth of
heart. 1t is pleasant time indeed for those
with whom the world has dealt kindly.
Light, warmth, laughter, loved companions
of old time and wine and wassail, are with
them at the feast. If they are not happy
and comfortable it is not anybody's fault
but their own. For them Christmas is
pleasant time not easily or willingly forgot
ten. They watch for it all the year, and
when it comes they give it a good grip for
old acquaintance sake.
But alas: there is a reverse to the medal.
To-day in this land of charities how many
thousands are there to whom the advent of
this festival is but an ihtensification of mis-
cry. In cold and cheerless garrets in foul
and fetid tenement novels. with scant cloth
ing and still scauter food, there are squalid
wretches covering over some half-heated
gto All,
of the days when they too welcomed Christ
mas and participated in its enjoyments;
days when they entered with young and
happy hearts into the spirit of the muni6-
cence of Santa Claus, and waited to welcome
or came to be welcomed at the profuse and
nospitable board. 1t is here we have the
illustration of the poets Sorrows Crown
of Sorrows" for if contrast heghtens lus-
tire, does it not also make the dark places
more dark; and if there be one misery more
uncomfortable than another, is it not the
recognition that the bright world mas no
longer brightness; that the season of fer
tivity brings no joy; that while friends meet
friends in gladness of soul there is no kindly
hand to grasp, and that in the general en-
joyment there is but the one dull round of
loneliness and pain?
What more practical performance of the
great doctrines left us by Him whose nativ-
ity we celebrate than the alienation of
human suffering? What gift more accept
able to the Saviour than that out of the
abundance with which we are blessed, we
shall give even little to make the day Of
His festival a day of festivity to His poor
also-and ''the poor we have always with
US r Christmas time is indeed the time for
generosity. 1t is prominently the holiday
of the year, time. of charity, time of the
meeting of absent friends, of the making up
of old quarrels, the cementing of old friend
ships, the opening Of closed hearts and closed
purses, tha shining of bright eyes, the max
ing Of love aud the creating of happiness-a
time but for the annual recurrence of which
the lives of many would be an interminable
Quincy across a desert with no oasis in the
path, no Canaan but beyond the grave.

irons and to all happy and merry Christ

tion which tradition lsays was Jacobs pillow.
Leaving the Abbey by Poets Corner we
arc in front Of the Houses of Parliament,
Let us enter the hall of William Rufus, of
the eleventh century, where Edmund Burke
700 years after made that terrible arraign-
ment of Warren Hastings. Here it was
that Sir Thomas Moore was tried and order
ed to execution by Henry VIII. and on the
southern gaGle of this very hall the ghastly
head of Oliver Cromwell stood impaled,
rotting in the sunlight, ,unmoved for 20 years.
In Westminster Hall, said the lecturer l
studied the faces of England's Kings as re-
produced by sculptor Or painter. There
was not among them one that l could dis
cern expression of authority the only indi-
cations being that of diadem ard regal
robes. Excepting the statues of Kings
and Queens the greatest interest in West
Minister Hall is in the building. 1t is but a
small portion of the Parliament Houses In
St.Stphen's Hall there are no pictures ofroy-
al percentages, only pictures of great En-
gIislmen are found. Entering by the Vic
toria Tower we gain the Norman Porch and
find ourselves in the Queens robing apart
ment. The walls are frescoed with the
story of Arthur and his Knights of the
Round Table. Heie also is gilded statue
Of King Alfred the Great no looks every
inch King. After passing through the
Princes chambers in which there is a life
size statue of the Queen the House Of
Lords is reached, all around is seen crimson
and velvet and plush and rich cushions. The
Queens throne is heavily gilt and set with
precious stones The House of Commons
is reached by passing through lofty decor
ated lobbies aud looks smaller than the
House of Lords. The speakers chair
fronts the entrance. In the middle of the
front bench, ON the right Of the speake, but
facing him sideways sits Gladstone, and all
who ST. on that side belong to the "Govern-
ment" party-those opposite, oil the left OF
the speaker are the Opposition" sitting in
the middle of the first bench opposite. The
independents of either party ranging them
selves behind the two parties mentioned,

The Beautiful WindOM.

A stroll along our streets in the evening
during the holiday season is quite enjoyable
despite the slusby condition of the side
walks. The stores look bright and CHEEKY
and numbers of citizens are out by lamp
light to see and be seen. Many of the
stores are unusually prettily decorated, some
showing remarkable combination of prac-
tical and artistic taste.
Passing along Market Street, the silvery
electric light at the corner of Seventh street
in the large windows of Morris's grocery
store seems to attract numerous passers-by.
We soon join the crowd in front of the win
dows. The impression is OF the entrance to
fairy palace. The hard frost has covered
the over parts of the sheet of glass with
haze of brilliants, whose silvery scintilla-
tions are increased hundred fold by the
intensely bright reflections of the electric
light. Behind the large plate glass are
piled up some of the daintest goods that can
be seen. Candies the most luscious and
ng-Marsh-malows, glazed fruit
cream walnuts, dates, apricots and ecora-
ted creams!
How apt the large silver letters merry
Xmas are There is an artistic arrangement
of nuts Of different varieties--paper shell
almonds, English walnut, ,filberts and pecans.
A fine assortment of raisins, Imperial De-
hesa! Queen clusters etc, a pyramid of
sweet dainties topped off by choice cases of
vari-colored candies
A very handsome novelty appears in the
window 1t is two gallon jar OF brandy
peaches containing two baskets of peaches,
Richardson & Robbins plum pudding and
wine sauce, all done up in handsome cans.
There is fine show Of the choicest dried
fruits, eyap,rated apples, peaches, plums,
cherries and currants, in silver-covered
boxes. Surmounting tnis pyramid of dain-
ties are boxes of clover honey raised
by D. P. Barnard, the president of the
State Ag cultured Society.
The beautiful contrast in the window of
the deep green of the evergreens, holly and
box and palm, with the sivery iridisceuce
of the many bright colors show that Mr..
Morris is as artistic as he is enterprising. The
extensive patronage which has been meted
out to MI. Morris is conclusive evidence that
good goods" and "honest dealing" are sure
harbingers of success.
