No Tariff Reform.

Carolina voted aye with the exception
Of Smalls, who, OF course, voted with

His PRAYER was Answered..

We clip the following from the Spirit
OF the South, published at Rockinghans
n. c.: \ very eccentric character n
Bertie county is name Leno. He is
married, and has several children, but
his life is an unhappy one. A few days
ago, after a more than usually lively
war of words with his wife, he prayed
that he might be stricken deaf and
dumb, so that never again could he
either speak to woman or hear his
wife's voice. 1t is asserted, on what is
considered good evidence, that his
prayer was answered, and that his loss
of the power OF speech and hearing is
absolute.

Ill-Fated Galveston.

GALVESTON, December 21:-A disas,
trous fire broke out at 3 o'clock this
morning in the residence portion Of the
city on Avenue X, between Twenty
first and Twenty-second streets. This
section of the city is composed almost
exclusively of wooden buildings. The
fire spread with great rapidity, owing
to the water in the cisterns in the vi
cinity becoming exhausted, and before
the flames were controlled they had
swept over the greater portion of the
two squares from Avenue L to Broad
way, bounded by Twenty-first and
Twenty-second streets. Twenty-eight
dwelling houses and two grocery stores
were burned. Much household furni-
ture was saved. Estimates place the
total loss at $4,000. The total insur-
ance aggregates $4,000.

About So.

The Southern Christian Advocate
takes occasion to remark that "somc
cvHngelists and preachers seem to take
special pleasure in letting the public
know what awful sinners they were
before conversion. They talk so glibly
about their lives Of profanity. intem-
perance and impurity, and with so lit
tie evidence of shame, that, instead of
nnagnifying the grace Of God displayed
III their salvation, we are almost tempt
ed to doubt whether they have been
saved ut all. The truly converted man
cannot think of the dark record of his
ungodly and sinful life without expert
cncing deep sorrow and contrition.
Any reference to it is intensely morti-
flying, and fills him with shame"

Something Like an Earthquake.

SHENANDOAH, Pa. December IT,
Between and o'clock this morning,
people living along West Coal street, in
the nothern section Of this borough,
were aroused by a cave-in which took
down fully four acres of that section of
town, upon which stands upwards of
50 houses. The surface settled from
to i feet, and damaged the property to
the extent Of $4,000 to $4,000 The
cave-in was caused by the rotting of
the workings of the Kohnoor Colliery,
which is located under that portion OF
the town.

Merry Christmas /!

Next Saturday is Christmas Day, and
we sincerely hope that all of our read
ers will have u pleasant and happy
time. Sorrow, in some of its various
forms, has cast its shadow over many
homes, but this is no reason why we
should not rejoice and be glad. Christ
mas celebrates the grandest event that
this sin-cursed world ever witnessed,
the birth of the Redeemer of mankind
Then, why should not all Of us lay
down our burdens at His feet, as He
has invited us to do, and rejoice and be
glad? We know that it is hard to
chase away the sorrows of year, but We
should strive to do it, and make the
day one of gladness and joy OIL account
Of the little ones with whom we may
come in contact. Don't mar their hap
piness by brooding over your past sor-
row. The Columbia Record is correct
when. it says Christmas pleasures has
more solid attractions for the young
than those of any other season. The
mystery that envelopes Santa Claus and
his nocturnal visits appears strongly
to their active imaginations. 1t is the
sweetest delusion of this delusive
world, and so long us the true character
of Santa Claus can be withheld, it
seems sin to mar the happiness Of the
occasion. Dear little souls! wrapt in
the blissful expectancy of Santa Claus
visit, they send unintelligible scrawls
flying with the smoke out Of the Chin
ney. which mounts for while heaven
ward with their thoughts too pure for
earth. Christmas! the name is the
Aladin's lamp of infancy, ard their i'm
aginations are the responding genii
that bear them away to the beauties of
wonderland. He who would ruthlessly
OF uselessly rob childhood of its happy
delusions is an enemy to the dear in
nocentS, and would thus rob them of
their joys. Christmas is the gem of al
occasions and has a secure and deep
setting in the human heart.
