CHRISTMAS Is COMING.

"Christmas is coming" the children cry,
Counting the days that are hurrying by;
Dear little children, who live at home,
Aud do not guess what II is TO roam
From morn 10 night, with stockingless feet,
Up and down through the ice and sleet.
"Christmas lie coming" thinks little Tim;
But what can the Christmas do for him?
His home is q cellar, his daily bread
The crumbs that remain when the rich are fed
No mother 10 kiss him when the day Is done
No place to be glad in under the sun.
That wonderful fellow. old "santa Claus"
Who n never idle a moment, because
He ~ kept 50 busy in piling the toys
Into the stockings OF girls ana boys,
No wonder he sometimes forgets, you know,
Into the homes Of the poor to so.
But, dear little children, you understand
That the rich and the poor all over the land
Have one dear Father who watches you
And grieves or smiles at the things you do,
And some OF His children are poor and sad,
And some are always merry and glad.
Christmas will bring to YOU many joys
Food and plenty, frolic and toys;
Christmas TO some viii bring nothing at all;
In place OF laughter tears Will fall.
foor little Tim TO your door may come,
Your blessings are many-sparc him some,
The Christmas bells will oweetly ring
The songs that the angels love TO einE,
The song that came with tho Saviour's birth
peace, good Will and love on eurthl"
Dear little children, ring, pray,
Sweet bells Ina some lonely heart that day.

A Disappointment for Sherman.
 Ir.z<,.z== n4l.o.. Sa+...Ia-=


 Once on time during the war General Sherman made visit to the headquarters of General Howard. While there he felt the need of a small draughs of whiskey to drive off the malarial effects of the climate on his system. Now all the officers of the army knew of General Towards rigid temperance proclivities and were strict in their respect of them. General Sherman knew there was no whiskey in General Towards quarters and therefore did not mention his wants to the latter. Presently Dr. John Moore, the medical director, came in and after little conversation General Sherman gave him the wink and said: Doctor, have you seidlitz powder in your quarterss' The doctor an- swered that he had. General Howard spoke up and said: General Sherman, it is not necessary to go to the doctors quarters. have plenty of seidlitz powders here, and good ones too; will get you one." If there was anything in General Towards quarters that General Sherman did not want it was 8 seidlitz powder, and therefore he said to General Howard: 'tNever mind, general; give yourself no trouble-( Howard was then getting the powder and glasses of water ready)-I will be going by Moore's quarters after while.' Dr. Moore was a great wag and quickly took in the situation and became party to the joke on General Sherman. He said to him, "By the way, general, don't think I have seidlitz powder in my quar- ters and you had better take the one General Howard has," By this time General Howard had the powder all ready for use and handed the glasses to General Sherman. Rather than offend Howard by saying he meant whiskey he drank the foaming stuff down, much to his own disgust, to the satisfaction of General Howard and to the amusement of the staff officers

A Valuable Motive Power. A recent Lowell dispatch to the Boston

A r0c6ub LOW6l1 ulSPdtcu tO Iuc DOStOu
 Herald says:
 The triple thermic motor engine which
 has been building in this city for several
 months, for the use of the Middlesex Elec-
 tric Light company, was started for the first
 time this afternoon in the presence of a
 crowd of stockholders and interested specta-
 tors Bisulphide of carbon vapor is the mo-
 tive power used. The bisulphide is vapor-
 ized by steam, and not by immediate appli-
 cation of fire. The boilers and pipes con
 veying bisulphide vapor are all encased in
 other boilers and pipes containing hot steam.
 AS this agent attacks all oils, the only lubri-
 cant used is pulverized plumbago, which is
 suspended in liquid, the composition of which is known only to the inventors. The machine consists of two twenty-four horse power steam boilers, two large bisulphide boilers of capacity of five hundred pounds of bisulphide liquid each, and an ordinary engine of Fitchburg manufacture of one hun dred and seventy horse power. This after noon a small wood fire was built under one of the steam boilers, and when the engine was started the steam gauge indicated a pressure of thirty pounds, while the bisul- phide gauge showed sixty pounds. There was surface pressure of two pounds. The engine started slowly and was kept at uni form speed till the engineer agaln turned the valve and increased the revolutions to great velocity. Then it was slackened at the engi- neer's will, and the whole machine seemed tc be under most perfect control. Professors
 Trowbridge of Harvard, Trowbridge of Co. lumbia and Richmond of Yale are expected here before long to make a scientific test o the new engine.
 The new motor is especially valuable fol
 electric lighting plants owing to it's cheap ness. The principal cost of electric light now is for power which generates the cleo tricity, and any invention which will reduc
 this cost will be great public benefit in re ducing the cost of electric lights and increas

The Latest Card Trick.

From the London Sporting and Dramatic News.l
 On the way to Goodwood races the com partment of a carriage was occupied by an elderly Frenchman, man who knew his way about town, and four others, whose profes- sion was soon indicated by the production of three cards, which one of the four began to manipulate on the folded coat he had put on his knees. The game went on in the old fa- miliar fashion, aimed at the man about town, who however, was student of Jenks and not easily to be had. The old Frenchman was reading "Gil Blas," but presently his curiosity was aroused and he began to play. At length the other man, the intended vic tim, felt certain he knew the right card, bet flyer on it, turned it up and won, The card-sharper cheerfully dealt again, but was met with the quiet answer, 'No, thank you No more. I don't think I could do it again" Bluster and persuasion were equally useless, and when the train stopped at Drayton the four rascals got out, leaving the old Frenchman and the winner alone. The latter, happening to turn round, saw tears in the foreigners eyes, and, in an swer to an iuquiring look, the old man said "Those men have won all my money-fool that was to gamble with them!-for I do not believe they played honorably. I feel sure there was connivance and fraud, but suspected it too late." ''They are card sharpers, of course, and the game is trick, '" replied the other. "So I now see; but my blindness is a sad matter to me. I was going on to France, where I have pressing family business; but there is no hope for it. I am penniless and must wait. The consequence will be very grave for me, but deserve it. :" The old mans distress was so deep that as they approached Chichester the other put his hand into his pocket and took out the flyer. ''Look here," he kindly said, you'd better take this; won it from them and can do very well without it.' The Frenchman pro tested, but presently took the money with grateful thanks. But he did not go to France. On the contrary he joined his four companions at Goodwood and returned to town in the same carriage with them in the evening.

from taxes and from the conscription; and | he possessed the exclusive right of holding I land with serfs attached to it. All this is l now changed ;but the Russian nobles still pos- ! sess the right of meeting in assembly for the election of local officials, and for making known their wishes and wants in a direct manner to the sovereign. This last right they have used sparingly indeed; and when in 1862, immediately after the emancipation of the serfs, they demanded, in great num- Der of provinces, the immediate promulga- tion of constitution, their address was not received; while in some cases those who were daring enough to press in person for it's recep- tion were punished by impri isonment. An improved construction of locomotives
 is spoken of with much favor by engineering authorities, the arrangement being such that while in ordinary engines the gases are usual ly thrown out of the stack-which is the
 cause of the density of smoke-in this case the gases are all burned, thus insuring the absence of smoke, which results, of course, 1 in saving of fuel. Instead of having a l large, conicle-shaped smokestack in front, | the new locomotive has 8 straight smoke stack, similar to those in use on English and French locomotives, in the rear, just in frop. of the cab. The boiler has two sets of fues, | small ones in the lower part and larger ones in the upper. The smoke runs twelve feet ! through the lower fues and then returns by 1 larger fues to the rear, where the smokestack l is placed; thus the smoke traverses twenty four feet before reaching the smokestack, in stead of twelve feet, as in ordinary boilers The heavy cinders and dust, not being able to
 rise from the lower small fues into the upper large ones, fall into smoke arch in front and can be emptied on the ground at any time.
 The Chicago Times, which is a Democratic
 Independent paper, or an Independent Dem ocratic paper, has evolved pledge which it thinks would be useful in connection with the offensive partisanship business. It is as follows:
 I, ........, being about to accept the office of. ......, do hereby promise, upon my word of honor, that during my tenure of the said office will not be offensive partisan, meaning that will not commit any of the following described offenees:-
 1. I will not edit or publish 8 party organ printing offensive articles.
 3. I will not make stump speeches. 3. will not be a member of any political
 or partisan committee, nor officer of cam paign club, nor organizer of political meet ing. 4. will not permit my office to be the
 headquarters of any such committee or club 5. will not permit that my clerks be put to the performance of party services. From these and all other acts that bring the public servant within the definition of
 an offensive partisan, I promise to strictly
 and faithfully abstain.
 A.
 This is a good idea, but we do not imagine
 that it will find much favor at Washington,
 where offensive partisanship seems to be un-
 derstood to mean something that only Repub-
 ican offceholders can be guilty of.

DOES NOT PROHIBIT.

DUES NOL F&OkHkD1Ts A prohibitory law is in force in Kansas, and it is interesting to notice how it works, or, rather, doesn't work. It is asserted that in Topeka the saloons have been effectually closed, but the sale of intoxicating liquor by druggists has been large. Under the law the druggists are obliged to keep a record of every sale of intoxicating liquors they make, and from their account books it is learned that during the eight weeks the law has been in force thirty-one druggists have made il 1866 sales, the average quantity being g pint. It is then estimated that the one hun dred saloons formerly in existence there used to sell not less than 15, ,O0O drinks of liquor each in eight weeks, to say nothing of beer and ale, and, by very ingenious process of figuring that man drinks gill of whisky every time he goes to the bar, it is shewn that the saloons, when in existence, sold much more whisky than the druggists now sell. Viewing the matter in all it's phases the Capital, which is a Prohibition news paper, declares that it is well satisfied with the showing and, while it admits that 8 good deal of liquor is disposed of by drug gists, it thinks the situation of affairs is much better than it was before the law was passed.
 But those friends of temperance who are not believers in the efficacy of prohibition can find good argument in the performance at Topeka. It is not probable that all the sales made by the druggists were recorded, but it is admitted that there were during eight weeks Il 1866 sales, averaging g pint each. In pint of whisky there are said to be by competent judges not less than eight ordinary drinks. According to this the druggists sold more than 95,0O0 drinks of liquor in two months Of course, some of this WAS for medicinal purposes and not a little was used in the mechanical arts, but the fact that the records show that the largest purchase was one gallon, and that most of the purchases were in one and two pint lots, indicates that there was large demand for popular consumption. The number of sales made alone shows this. Nearly 12, 900 sales in sixty days means an average of 200 sales a day.
 It is evident that prohibition does not pro- hibit in Kansas any more than it does in Maine. It is not probable that it ever will prohibit, at least not until the Millennium. High license is the most promising temper ance movement" in existence at present.
