THE CITY PRESS BUREAU
New YORK, November 15th-A. M.-The
managing editor of a morning paper here
says: The City Press Bureaus figures
on the election districts in this city sent to
the Western Associated Press on the night
of the election are correct, and are found to
be correct by the Canvassers; but the
Bureau, in grouping the figures into AS
sembly Districts, got them mixed up, and
the returns, as canyassed by Assembly Dis
tricts. are OF course entirely different
from the Bureaus. The totals are
the same, but the Assembly Dis
tricts all differ more or less.
and thus far show an apparent gain for
Blaine, that i'll reality will be restored to
Cleveland later on by iiguI -oa I,e ais-
tricts. The Bureaus figure OH election
districts are right. The figures b. Assem-
bly, districts are all wron bat the totals
both agree, and the trouble was that the
bureau got the wrong figures into the As
sembly District tables. We (the managing
editor and dozen others are convinced of
this, because we have been over the figures,

VANDERBILT DID NOT CONTRIBUTE.

New YORK, November 14th.-Senator A
7. German, Chairman ofthe Democratic Ma
tional Executive Committee, states that Wm.
II. Vanderbilt has not made any contribu-
ton to the National Democratic campaign
fund. Ny reason for wishing to DENY
the statement that Vanderbilt contributed
$150,0o0, or any other sum- says Mr.. Cor
man, is that the story is put out with the
malicious intent of creating a false impress

aid from class of contributors and SET of

New YORK, November 14th.-The Sun
| says; Carl Sehurz can never be a Cabinet
| officer under Democratic President after
participating in the fraud of 1876, which
even the Republican papers are now adj
mitting. The Sun then quotes from the
Post of last evening (Schurz former paper
and strongest supporter in the recent cam
paign), as follows: Certain active Blaine
men in Ohio and Illinois, who have been
arranging plans to manipulate the Elect
oral vote of New York, had better call Il
halt before it becomes necessary to inquire
into their former efforts in the same line in

CHICAGO November 14th.-At the session
this morning of the National Stockmen a
letter from Professor Law, of Cornell Uni
versity, was read, in which he criticised
the Bureau OF Animal Industry, declaring
it inefficient and needless expense, meas
urcd by the results of its work. He made
claim among others, that it had failed to
discover pleuro pneumonia among the
herds in NeT York State, where the dis
ease was existing. Commissioner L0ring
answered the complaints at some length,
declaring the bureau very valuable au1Nl-
iary to the Department of Agriculture. A
motion was made TO tender a vote of
thanks to Professor Law, but the matter

CHICAGO, November 14th.-In the Storey
will case to-day the Court refused to admit
the will to probate drawn by Mr.. Storey in
1881, and which is known as his last will,

mind. The will drawn in 1879, containing
nearly identical provisions of the one of
1881, has not yet been offered for probate.
The Court also appointed A. L. Patterson,

Cur Corn Crop.

The forthcoming report Of the Illinois
department Of agriculture will contain data
concerning the corn crop of the state for
1884. The season WAS favorable for ma
turing the crop, which is sound and of gu
pcrior quality. The crop has been gathered
aud stored in good condition. The low
price Of the crop has induced farmers to
hold it so far rs their means will permit.
The area Of the late crop is G,S0S,Sl9 acres,
which is less than that of any preceding
year since 1873. The average yield for the
state is 80 bushels per acre, which exceeds
the yield per acre OF any year since 1879,
excepting the crops of 1875 aud 1870. The
aggregate corn crop OF the state for 1884 10
9O1,5jGGG2 bushels and exceeds the corn
crops of the three preceding years by co..
100000 to 30,00O,e00 bushels.
The average price per bushel OF corn 10
first hands is reported to be 20 cents per
bushel The price for corn has not ruled
50 low in this state since 1860 except In
1861, 1869, 1872, 1877 and 1878.

Good Words for SOutherners.

The Philadelp hian-Times, in an article
on seekers for Office, thus compliments the
people of the South: THE swarm of Office
seekers from the South with which the coun-
try has been threatened for many years,
whenever a change of party has been dis
cussed, does not appear to be forthcoming.
inquiry at hotels in Washington develops
the fact that a smaller number of Southern
people will come to the Inauguration on the
4th of March than have witnessed any SIM
liar ceremony since the war. Thus far the
one city of Philadelphia has furnished
more applicants for hotel accommodations
than all the Southern States together. 1t
is not probable that any serious difficulty
will be experienced in finding a sufficient
| number OF men willing and anxious to fill
the Offices in the South. But it is plain
that the rush for place will not be anything
| like that predicted or even so large as it
| will be at the North. For eight years oil
the Southern States have been securely in
the grip of one party, and yet there has
never been the struggle for official distnc-
ton in that section which has characterized
the North. The Southern people have
been to busy and have had too much at
stake to trust their advancement in life to
the chances Of public position. They
have an interest 10 securing good govern
ment, but it will require many years of eT.
penence before they can hope to compete
with the politicians of the North in finding
where the fat places are and in getting
them. Il is safe to predict that more re-
quests have been preferred from Philade-
phia for the blue book, as well as for hotel
accommodations, than from the entire

and superstitions, among which was the
use OF green boughs for decoration at re-
llgious festivities, were engrafted upon II,
and later, when Britain was overrun by the
Saxona, the various ceremonies of tho anci-
ent Germans aud Scandinavians, among
which we have seen was this same use of
green boughs, were re.engrafted upon the
Christmas ceremonies.
Among all the pagan nations the winter.
soIstltial feast marked time of charity.
Everywhere gifts were given. This, and
the commemoration of life of love and
charity, made Christmas time OF univer-
sal gift-making. 1t was very natural
that in time these gifts should be put upon
the green boughs, which after awhile came
to be made into standing tree the better
to serve this use. Thus some time ia the
middle ages the Christmas tree delighted
the eyes of boys and girls. This first hap
pened in Germany. St. Nicholas fourished
four centuries after Christ. He was so
very good that he WAS made the patron
saint Of almost everybody, and, of course,
Of children. Because be once supplied
some maids with marriage portions it be-
came the custom for the girls to hang their
stockings outside their bed room doors for
him to fill; and st. Nicholas filled them
ust as Santa Claus fills them now. But of
course St. Nicho as would not slight good
boys, and so the boys would hang up their
stockings, too. That is how originated the
hanging up of stockings. St. Nicholas
Day was December 6; but as superstition
wore away matter-of-fact parents encourag-
ed the deferring of St. Nicholas visit till
Christmas, when presents would have to be
made anyhow. And when the Christmas
tree took the place Of the stockings It was
st. Nicholas, or as we English speaking
people most often say, Santa Claus, who put
the presents rpon the tree.

Origin Of Christmas Trees,


We all know the origin Of Christmas a
day set apart in memory of the birth OF
Curist; but we don't know so much
about the origin of Christmas trees, conse-
quently the following will be of genera!
interest:
For three centuries after the coming of
our Lord there was no uniformity among
Christians in the day observed AS the an
nivcrsary Of his birth. Some observed the
29h Of September, or the feast Of the
Tabcrnaces; others the Goth of March, the
time Of the Jewish Passover. After a while
the Eastern Church settled upon January
6, and the Western Church upon December
%; and ii1a,ly the Eastern Church adopted
December %, also.
Amid the pagan nations OF antiquity,
there seems to have been universal ten
dcncy to worship the sun as the giver of
lght and heat and the visible manifesto
tons Of the deity. Although worshippcd
under different names by different nations,
he was su,l the same divinity The Ro.
mans called him Saturn; the scandinavian
nations, Odin or Wodin; the Pnunicians,
naal or Be-; and the Persians, Mithras.
Their fcas,s in worship Of this sun.god
were All held at the winter soIsticc, or De.
ccmbcr 20 according to our present calen-
dsr. Itisat this time that the SUI turns
about and journeys southwark, making the
bcrinnipp OF the renewed life and powers
Of nature. The Romans held at this time,
or from December % to January 6, their
Saturnalia. or feast in honor of Saturn.
II was This celebration of the winter
so,sticp that led 10 lts selection for the date
of the Christmas festivities. The Christians
not orly adopted the date but many of the
ceremonies Of the pauan feas,s, especially
of the Sa,urnalia, So hcathenish did the
festivities of Christmas become that the
church Gorcely combattcd them, but after.
