New YORK, Dec. 21.-General ]. T.
Terrence, of Chicago, was Gen. Logan's
compsnion during the recent campaign
In answer to an inquiry about the report
that the Democratic members CT the II.
linois Legislature will vote for Charles
Farwell and thus compel the Republic
cans to choose him Senator, he said here
to-day:
There are at least half dozen Dem
ocrats in the Legislature who are re-
ported as positive in their assertion that
they will vote for no other man than
General Logan, so | do not see how any
other man can be elected. do not know
personally whether General Logan will
be candidate, as l have not talked with
him. but | don't think that any such
scheme as you ask about would go
through. In the event that the Legisla-
lure remains at deadlock it would then
be the duty of the Governor to appoint
a Senator for two years until the new
Legislature is elected. General Logan
in such a case will be appointed if he
will accept, and on test two years later
his strength would enable the Republi-
cans to carry the Legislature by clear
working majority. In the late campaign
his enforced absence from the State made
great difference in the vote on the AS
eembly.'

THE January number Of the NORTH
American Review is an excellent one.
IL presents no very famous pames among
its contributors, but offers wide variety
of unusually readable articles. We are
now so safely over the crisis Of the pres
identiaI election that men of all parties
can consider calmly Bishop Huntington's
ESSAY on 'Vituperation in Politics., and
it is to be hoped that what they learn
from it will not be forgotten four years
hence. Under the title, The Reunited
South,' Henry Watterson presents with
great cearness the Southern and Demo-
cratic view of the political situation as
il now stands. This also is extremely in
teresting to every citizen, whether he
agrees with Mr.. Watterson or not. An
other question of universal concern.
which some think will soon make itself
a national issue, is that of labor and its
compensation; and Col. Hinton, ia
American Labor Organizations, shows
with what equipment il will take the
lield. But the article that the literary
reader will turn to is Frederic Harris
sons brilliant and incisive discussion of
'Froude's Life of Carlyle;' while the re-
ligiousor philosophical reader will hnd
in 'Courtney's Socrates, Buddha, and
Christ specific statements and quotas
tions of those parallel doctrines that are
so vaguely alluded to. For the scientific
reader, Mr.. Proctor discusses learnedly
'Herschel's Star Surveys and Prof. LIE
Conte presents and explains some curi+
Gus facts in relation to The Evidence of
the Senses Mr.. Mulhsll's paper on
the Increase of Wealth. is a successful
endeavor to render large masses of fig
ures poDularly Ineligible.

THR custom of giving Christmas gifts
grew out Of a very old religious rite.
When it was the rule to have shrines in
almost every house and at given points
along the highway, it was customary to
lay upon the shrines sums of money for
the poor, boquets and written benedic-
tions. Travellers priced the last, and the
poor were very grateful for the first.
The boquets and tribes were tenderly re-
garded by those to whom they were CIV
en- after having served as votive offerings
to some saint. Ihen there was some
thing so. sacred about them that they
were not given carelessly and unmean-
ingly, and they were priced accordingly.
A faded rose. Il leaf or trifiiug trinket
was priced just as highly as gem. 1t
was not the thing itself, but that which
ii suggested that was priced.

THE Missouri Senator Vest, was one
of the most violent, abusive and partisan
of the opponents in the Senate of the
bill to admit Dakota to the Union. The
residents of that Territory propose to
get even with State which sends such
bigots to represent them in the National
Congress. and the merchants in all parts
of the Territory are cutting St-Louis mer-
chants from their trading lists. The st.
Louis drummer finds no business in the
Dakota towns.
