How to Spend winter Evenings.

New YORK Evening fost
The question. 'How shall we spend our win
ter evenings' is in season now; it comes in with
the fire in the crate on chilly nights, and the
early lighting of the lamp Intelligent people
are beginning to wonder if there is not some
other way of passing the time than in gathering
ones friends together and placing them at tho
whist table. To fine player of that noble game
such evenings are not looked forward to with
citation; to play at whist for two hours with a
partner who asks regularly at intervals What
are trumpsP or who, with pretty air of tri-
umph plays her ace on his king may be an in
nocent, and even profitable way of spending that
time; it may be made means of moral culture
by developing the virtues Of patience and self
able ways Some of the most truly
wretched moments of my life have been those
during which | was obliged to attempt some
game I could not play, with partner whose re-
spect wished to retain But the fear of giving
uneasness to my hostess caused the sacrifice. l
have sometimes looked around the room at some
so-called social gathering, and have detected
signs ofuneasiness that reminded me Of ArtemaS
Wards remark to his Southern iailor, mo. I
am not mad, but soon shall be if you do not
bring me something to talk" 1t would doubt
less require some courags to invite your friends
and announce that conversation is the enter
tainment which is provided for them, and that
each is expected to contribute his or her share.
But after few minutes of doubt and formality
wouldn't they all have better timer There are
women who have genuine talent for entertain
ing, who can plan ali evenings pleasure as gen
eral would plan for a campaign. What is posi-
BILE for her at an evening with cardsl Nothing
but to hover silently around the tables not dar
ing to speak lest she put to fight some weighty
calculation check some effort of memory.
There are women who have courage for any and
every duty. There is a gate wide open leading
into an inviting field Let them enter, and seek
out some ingenious method by which true So
ciability may be encouraged, and by which true
conversation may be possible.

POLITICAL NOTES.
How Bishop Jaggar Was Deprived of His
Vote.

Vote.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
One of the most patent and inexeusabe out
RACES perpetrated by the Democratic thugs at
the late election was the refusal to take the vote
of Bishop Jaggar at precinct A, Eighth ward
polls. The Bishop had been boarding for some
time past at the Gibson House, and was undoubt
edly entitled to vote at that precinct. He was
accompanied by DR.. William Carson and was
about to deposit his vote when one of the Demo
cratic judges interfered and objected on the
ground that the Bishop had not been living long
enough in the precinct to entitle him to a vote
there DR.. Carson explained away all obiec-
tions, and proved conclusvely that the Bishop
was entitled to vote in that precinct But the
Democratic mob that surrounded the poll howled
and swore and piled all sorts of vulgar and
abusive language, and Bishop Jaggar, wishing
to make no trouble, walked quietly away with
out voting Bishop Jaggar is the Episcopal
bishop of the diocese of Southern Ohio; he is
we'll known everywhere in the city; he was
known in the precinct where he was prevented
from voting. 1t high-handed outrage,
committed by Democrats in precinct where
even the deputy United States marshals were
poweriess.

Some Points About Precious Stones and Their

Detroit Post and Tribune.
Master Thomas Nichols of Jesus College,
Cambridge, the earliest English writer on the
subject Of precious gems, says;
There is nothing more admirable in this
lower world than precious stones, seeing they
are the starres of the earth, and shine in
competition for beautie, splendor and
elorie Nature produces nothing more
rich and sufficiently confesseth it in
her most careful laying them up and hid
ing them in her private cabinets and repositories
in the inner part of the earth so that they are
not easy to be come by; but their value and
price make them worth searching for, even
through the bowels Of the world"

What George w. Curtis Knows


Harper's Weekly, Sept. 2, 1876.
During the war he Mr.. Hendricks was
