Socialists and communists 1.-THE terms are
nearly syuonims) are growing bold and de-
faint not only in the expression Of their ire
ligious beliefs, but in their automatic threats
against property. Their latest outspoken,
public demonstrations were made in Chicago
last Thanksgiving day. Sumo thousand Bo-
hemians, Poles and Germans selected that
festal occasion, TO boldly give notice why they
should be thankful TO neither God nor man.
The Bohemians are largely communistic in
sentiment and publish papers of that charae-
ter missionary is laboring among them
in Chicago with some prospect of success.
This band of thousand mixed nation al
tiles paraded the streets of Chicago Thanks
giving day, with banners flying, on which
were such expressions as these: sour capt.
talistic robbers may well thank their Lord
that we, their victims, have not yet strangled
them;'' Thanks to our Lords who
have the kindness TO feast on our earnings, :"
''Shall we thank our Lords for our misery,
destitutiOn and povertyg' "The turkeys
and champagne upon the tables Of our
Lords was purchased by u.s." ''Why we
thankl Because our capitalistic brothers
are happily enjoying our turkeys, our wine,
and our houses" These sentiments indi-
cate the prevalence of dangerous spirit,
but one of their speakers was still more reck-
less, vituperative, threatening ana incendi-
ary in his remarks.
He said in his speech: ''There is but one
remedy for all our evils. We've got to strike
at property; it looks like a sacrifice to destroy
all these fine buildings, but it must be done.
We can't secure justice in any other way.
No man should nave more than he can use
one house, one store, one suit Of clothes I;
If we find them vacant it is our duty to oc-
cupy them or to destroy them, as circum-
stances dictate" The assemblage resolutions
were in accordance with the above
developed spirit At the conclusion
they took up their line of
march displaying red and black flags, the one
to indicate that their wrongs must be re-
dressed in blood, the other that they would
neither ask nor give mercy. 1t would seem
that terrific conflict between labor and CAPT.
tai is imminent and impending unless some
ameliorating influence can be exerted 10 as
suage the asperites of the dissatisfied and in
famed masses in the large cities.

The artificial fummery of social life in
Washington is conspicuous, chiefly, for
pompous display and for crowding, crushing
and discomfort at receptions. The acting
President, Mr.. Arthur, seems determine q
that the closing days of his accidental oceu-
pancy of the White House shall eclipse all
spectacular shows of the kind that have gone
before in the brilliant frivolity and Of em pity
display and aesthetic formalitY. His aim to
illustrate the last days of his administration
by strokes of craftsmanship beneficial 10 the
country and that will go into honorable men
ton in history, subsidies before the smaller
ambition of keeping up his precious reputa-
ton as the ''best dressed man in America, -
and surrounding himself with appropriate
adjuncts to set of his exalted position as
master of social ceremonies and magnif-
cence in the trappings of his Republican
COURT in attempting to rival which the royal
courts of the old world might well give up in
despair.
The New Years reception at the White
House is to be on the most elaborate
scale possible and the august master Of the
mansion intends to make it the leading
event OF his administration, TO excite the ad-
miration and wonder OF upstart fashionable
sciolists, and to be recorded in all its com.
pleteness in the dudes historic book Of fash
ionable fustian. AT the New Years and
other Presidential receptions this winter the
members of the diplomatic corps viii shine
resplendent IN gorgeous trappings, bedizen-

blems of royal favor from the monarchial
courts of the old world, the idle, dizzy army,
and naval officers, reposing in luxurious
ease at the capital of the government will

OLD WORLD NEWS.
A Story that the EmeraIds in the
Crown of the Empress Eugenie
We're False.
The Earthquake in Spain More Serious Thas
First Reported -15O Persons
Perished.
THE UNITED KINGDOM.

LoNpoS. Dec. 27.-The story is now told
that the emerslds which adorned the crown
OF Empress Eugenie were false. The crown
was among the jewels at the government
sale In Paris. The bogus emeraIds were
purchased by an English nobleman for g4O,-
600 and the money paid the ex-empress for
her claims to the eneralds as personal prop
erty- The money, however, was returned
when it was found the emeralds were only
an imitation. The Figaro asserts the en-
press was aware of the deceptions.
George Augustus Salo sailed to-day for
New York, and on February Il leaves San
Francisco for Australia.
News from Egyt is not of the least satisfac-
tory character. 1t appears Gen. Wolseley has
decided to abandon the attempt to reach
Cnedy by the desert route from Korti, thus
cutting off the great bend in the Nile. The
difficulties of the way seem 10 him too great
tO be surmounted with the resources at his
command. Instead of the desert route he
will use the road from MeraWeh to Berber,
likewise through desert, but much shorter
than the other. He has aecordin " changed
base from KOrti TO Meraweh. This change
places the relief of Khartoum two months
further into the future than expected. Gen.
noistiey is Tar from SdtlSncu Win the ar
engagements of the expedition. He mas sent
furious complaints To the war office of the
inefficicncy and absolute breakdown of the
commissary services. Although good two
months has elapsed since the pioneer corps
left S8ras, only 800 out of 1000 men COM
posing the full force of the expe-
dition have reached Korti. Brit
ish ENJOYS left KOrti for
kabbabisk and other tribes. which are only
weakly attached to the Mahdi's. The Envoys
will endeav'r to persuade the tribes to enter
into an alliance with the English. The adj
miralty has awakened to the fact that present
facilities for coaling wIr vessels at home and
foreign stations are not what they ought TO
be- 1t has, therefore, appointed a special
naval committee to look into the matter, and
IS instructed to report means to improve the
present facilities and also suggest method
by which the facilities could be easily and
quickly extended in case of an outbreak Of
war should make such step necessary or
desirable.
The Army and Navy Gazette contradicts the
statement Of United States Senator Blair,
that the British government was negotiating
to purchase Ericson's submarine gun and
prOjectile together. The Gazette says Ericsou'a
invention would revolutionizr naval warfare,

the various governments.

tearing or mutilating the envelope. But
there are certain classes of goods or mer-
chandise that may be sealed again st inspection
So far as known this privilege was a cOnVe-
pience TO the senders and receivers Of Christ
mas gifts, but it will be equally valuable to
be known in time for sending New Years
gifts.
The information is valuable also, at all
times, for such packages may be sent free
from inspection at any time during the year,
aud not only during the annual gift-besriug
holidays. The postoiiice notice touching
this matter enumerates many articles of
merchandise that may be put up as an en-
tirety, as, for example, handkerchief or a
pair of gloves. These may be wrapped in
such manner as to easily disclose their
character This rule, however, will not hold
good with class of merchandise which is
composed of small particles. such, for iu-
stance, as medicines, powder, pills, tobacco,
fancy soaps, DC.
Such articles.in order TO be safely, transmit
ted through the malls, must be put up in
such manner as to conceal their PARTICLES
or, in other words, the particles or contents
must be virtually sealed against inspection
else they are uumailable. Postmasters are
authorized to accept for mailing at the fourth
class rate of postage proprietary articles OF
merchandise when mailed in their original
wrappers. Nearly all articles of merchandise
have, by the custom Of trade, unit of mea-

is the single box, paper or package. Any
number of packages. not exceeding four
pounds in wright, may be put up as one
package and sent through the mails but this
package must be so wrapped that its contents
may be easily examined.

A MUTUAL MASH.
That of Cleveland and Villas, and the
Latter May Go Into the
Cabinet.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-M-. Villas, Of
Wisconsin, on the occasion of his recent
visit to Albany, dropped in unannouced and
quite modestly. He bad long chat with
the new president, and at the latter's request
extended his Albany visit day. OF course
he did not ask for cabinet position, nor did
Mr.. Cleveland offer him one, vet there are
abundant evidences to testify to Mr.. Cleve-
lands appreciation of the son of the Badger
state. and may be said to be mutual mash.
Villas was TIE president of the convention
which nominated Gov. Cleveland He is not
over forty-twO years of age, if that. In figure
he is somewhat spare, although symmetrically
and fairly well built He has rather hand
some face, covered with black and neatly
kept beard. His com plexion is quite swarthy
and his eye either u black or dark hazel. /
don't recall which. In manner he has the
graces of q Chesterfield He Is q
fluent speaker, as well as ELOQUENT.
His speech, in accepting the presidency of
the Chicago convention, was one which
earned for it not only evanescent applause
at the time, but which was talked about
afterward- In temperament Mr.. Villas il
rather inclined To be nervous. If Mr.. Villas
should be called upon to b. one of Presiden.
Cleveland's family. he would make an adj
mirable officer wherever stationed He would
be loyal, too, because he has no political
aspirations which tempt him away from the
little fortune he makes each year in the
practice Of his profession, the law, in his
own state
