that one extreme will certainly be
equalized by another; that the mean
annual rainfall is the same, the mean
temperature the same, the mean di-
rection of the wind the same. and the
mean of the last frost in the spring
and the first in autumn the same. If
several months have been unusually
warm or extremely cold it is not to
be supposed that the climate has
changed and that the succeeding
months will be in similar character:
but we should rather anticipate
weather of al opposite description,
as we know that all fluctuations of
temperature are soon equalized.-
Washington Star.
A SENSE OF HoNoR.-There is lit
tie doubt that the thing which most
needs to be preached to this genera
tion of Americans, by ministers of
the Gospel, by both clerical and lay
instructors of the youth, by all who
have public influence OF private au-
thority, is a sense of honor. 1t must
be shown and insisted upon that ev-
cry position in life where one person
is employed by another to do a GER
tain work imposes an obligation to
fulfil the duties of the place with an
honorable and disinterested regard
for the employer. 1t must be shown
that this view of employment applies
to the cook, the errand-boy, the CASH
ier, the legislator, the Governor, and
the President. There is a trite and
apparently simple and perhaps some
what stupid view of the opportunities
of a "smart'' and ambitious young
American of our day, but unless this
commonplace view of the response
bility is laid hold of by increasing
numbers in the future of our country
we will not say that our society will
60 to pieces, but we will say that our
calamities will increase and that we
will get into troubles and not soon
out of them, compared with the dan
gers and distresses of the past will
seem almost insignificant.
A new textile material is looming
up in California. 1t is thread man
ufactured from the ramie plant, and
the Kern county Californian speaks
of beautiful specimens of skeins of
sewing thread of various colors.
Only an expert would suppose they
were not silk. 1t is stronger than
silk and may be applied to all the
purposes for which that material is
used. The plant is perennial, re-
Qulrlng warm climate, and Is prop
agated like sugar cane. The fiber
is in demand at Is to 20 cents per
pound, but the difficulty in the way
of extensive production is that no
effective machine has yet been in
vented for decorticating the fiber and
preparing 1t for market. A New
Jersey manufacturer, however, thinks
this obstacle has been overcome and
that machine now on exhibition at
New Orleans will accomplish the re-
suits desired. All that is produced
is in eager demand, and there IS no
limit to the beautiful and serviceable
goods that may be made from it, and
when the problem of preparing it for
use is solved a new and extensive in
dustry will be developed.

jammed with people. all seemingly bent
on purchasing Christmas goods. Here
jolly big lady trudged along with an
armful Of bundles, and there went q
slender. pipe legged man, Juggling .
basket almost as large as himself. Sore
toes and corns were no barriers to tho
hurrying crowd, nor did good clothes
shrink from contact with the homespun
suit Of the honest laboring man. Ono
thought filled every mind-Christmas
must bring happiness to the children.

BAPTIST FAIR AND FEsTIvAL.-The
fair and festival for which the congre-
cation of the Baptist Church have been
preparing for some time, will opeo In
the basement of the church on Thurs
day evening the oath, and will continue
during the holidays. The room will be
suitably decorated and prepared for the
various uses to which it will be put
during the festival. The rear rooms
will be used for culinary purposes,
where hot and toothsome suppers will
be served at moderate prices. Turkeys,
chickens, hams, salids, oysters in every
style, etc, besides confections of vari-
Gus sorts will be on hand, and the ladies
are hoping that they will not remain on
hand very long. In addition to the
tempting edibles there will be mum
Der and variety of fancy articles, which
have been presented to the managers,
and which will be offered for sale.
Considerable interest centres in the
contest for the watches The managers
of the entertainment have purchased
handsome gold hunting. case gentle
mans watch, which they have offered
as q prize to the person collecting the
largest amount of money for the church.
Messrs. Jno. A. Martin and j. Newton
Thatcher are contrasting the prize. They
have also bought ladies gold hunting
case watch which has been offered in
similar way. Misses Agnes Boyer and
Lille Neer are hard at work trying to
secure the prize. The contests will be
decided by disinterested parties. 1t
may not be improper to add that the
element Of chance has no place what
ever In it. The room will be open every
week night from Thursday on until the
close (which has not yet been decided
up0D).

THE vile practice of beating and
bruising up children for every little
offense committed BY them, Is inexcns-
able and deplorahle The writer was
placed in position 4 few days since TO
witness such an affair. IT was in a
colored family. The wife and husband
waged war, and the former in a at of
rage, took her spite out on little
daughter. She beat the child until
large wells. appeared on It's arms, and
blood ran from its nose and mouth. To
treat child so cruelty is an insult to
humanity and crying shame. Ill
treatment Of children must stop, and
the law should severely punish inhuman
parents.
