THE MESSIAH.
chiIdren's Christmas Club.

To the Editor of the Press:
By this mornings PRESS, / find that there
has been decided misunderstanding as to
the proposed "march" at the Children S
Christmas Club festival next Wednesday.
Since the dinner IS to be given up this year,
many Of the members of the club lose their
usual occupation; for about 200 children
"help" as table WATERS" ETC., when we
have dinner.
What can / do to help this year?" was
the constant question. REGULATIONS, dia-
logues, etc, were impractcable for children
voices in so large a hall.
As the committee tried in vain to solve the
dlfflculty, Mr.. Gilbert suggested that the
number usually employed at the dinner
should form themselves in line of march;
that they would enjoy marching; it would
be pleasure to the guests" to watch Them
and that they would have the happy feeling
OF having contributed toward the general
good time"
If the idea of ''fancy dance" had its
source in the club, am responsible for ii,
though my own idea has been clearly that of
a march" and not dance" of particular
hgures and movements. 1t would be abso-
lutely impossible to teach in one afternoon
two hundred children, the most of whom
know nothing OF dancing, to perform fan
cy. dance, and it is not our wish to do so.
should be glad, however, to see all the
members of the Christmas Club march by
two and fours and Fights around the City
Hall. 1t would be most pleasing sight to
look upon six or eight hundred bright faces.

men," f. S. SARGENT.

The bark A. G. Mcguire, which went

Saturday and yesterday. The vessel is

Of the firm of d. & j. Mcguire, Quebec,
Everything movable was taken from the
cabins and forecastle Saturday. The sails
were removed, and yesterday riggers were
at work taking down the yards and standing
rigging. Deputy Sheriff Sargent was await
ing the arrival of the bark with papers of at
tachment, and as soon as the news of the
wreck reached the city, went to the Cape
and placed a keeper in charge of the vessel.

Christmas at the reform school.

For several years the friends of the Reform
School have been invited to the institution
to Christmas supper, after which they have
been entertained by the boys with literary
exhibition. Later in the week, the BOYS
have had Christmas tree. This year it
was decided not to tax the officers, or the
boys in the preparation of the usual enter
tainment, but instead to spend little more
money directly for the boys.
On Christmas morning. about 9 o'clock.
the boys were called into the Chapel, which
they found prettily decorated with ever
greens, while two well laden Christmas trees
were in the corners Of the room. After some
devotional exercises and the singing of
carols, the trees were stripped of their pecu-
liar fruit. Each boy received a pair of nit
tens, handkerchief and some small article.
with candy, nuts. an orange, &C., while
many received books, games and other gifts
from home. The boys were then allowed a
social hour to show each other their presents.
Those who were privileged to watch the
bright happy faces, had their own hearts
warmed by the sight, and their own Christ
mas festivities made the brighter.
1t was especially pleasant to notice the
kindly unrestrained interchange of good feel
ing between the officers and boys, the BOYS
seeming fully to appreciate the great kind
ness of their teachers in flaming so much
pleasure for them. To several boys this was
the first Christmas spent at the school, and
some of these said it was the best Christmas
they had ever had.
Loring, Short g. Harmon sent out to each
boy pretty Christmas card, which was dis
tributed with the other presents A bounti-
FIJI dinner was served at noon and an effort
was made to make the entire day happy
one, bygranting to the boys special privileges
in the building and play grounds.

The lobster EIsherles of MaIne,

Mr.. w. S. Trefethen, of this city, contrib
utes to a recent issue of the Industrial Jour-
nal timely article on 1.-THE Lobster Fisher.
les" He criticises the present law in relation
to lobster fishing, and argues that it should
be repealed by the Legislature. saying
the effect OF this law has been disastrous
alike to the fishermen the dealer, and the
State; for the closing of our business for six
weeks broke up our trade, demOralizing the
market, so that when we commenced fishing
again we were at once overst0cked. causing
the loss of one millionlobsters in two months
probably as many as we should have caught
and sold through close time-resulting in a
loss to the State of fully fifty thousand dol.
lars, and besides keeping the market con-
staDtly 0yerst0cked it caused what has been
sold to be sacrificed"
The following statistics of the lobster fish
cries Of Maine, carefully prepared by Mr.
Trefethen, will show that we are the posses
sors of valuable industry, which should be
rightly protected by the commonwealth:
'The average catch of Holsters on the
Maine coast has been fifteen millions yearly,
for thirty years; or some 500,000,000 during
that period. About 200,000,000 have been
used by the factories, at an average cost OF
one cent each. Doubtless they have paid
$2,000,000 to the fishermen. In the same time
the local trade has used 200,000,OO0 large al
4 cents each, and 100, 600 small at / cent
each, paying S9,000000, making a total OF
$11,000,O00 to the fishermen. So it is safe tC
estimate that the money paid for canning
smack-men, the value of the lobster fishery
of Maine has reached more than 5000, 1000 an
nually. Why the prohibitory laws? Where
made? And what has been their object?

The Bishop Case.

The Winthrop Budget contains the follow
ing communication in its last issue, signed
X. Y. D..
IAN old saying has it that One story
good till another is told Now as to Elm
wood j. Bishop, report had it that he had
committed suicide in Liverpool. A day or
two after, report had it that he reported his
own G death, and he was called a beat N.
g.. and various other naughty things were
reported about him. The facts are that Mr.
Bishop is not dead, but has good Job, is
working steadily every day, gets good pay,
his employers like him, and his prospects
are very good. He strenuously denies writ
ing the letter to the Argus announcing his
suicide, and says, with good deal of pIaus-
Utility, that it was all the work Of an enemy
who has been bounding him for more than a
year, and trying in many ways to injure him.
Elmwood Is well known in Winthrop, grew
up to manhood in our midst, showed great
plnck and energy in acquiring an education,
paying his bills to certain extent by sweep
ing the schoolhouse, ringing the bell and
building. the fire, and graduated from the
high school with distinguished honors.
Pressed for the wherewithal to maintain an
existence, he may have contracted certain
small liabilities, temporarily. He may have
been foolish enough to fall deeply in love
with beautiful and accomplished young
lady, who, when she found out he was not
millionaire, or not rich, or had no means but
Willingness to work and great persever-
ance, discouraged his ardent attentions; but
even If this all be true, it does not by any
means follow that he is not all young man
should be-
The fact remain, that Mr. Bishop is an
exceptionally brilliant young man, who will
rise to fame and fortune, so sure as he makes
the best use of the good talents he pos
sesses."
1t is understood In Winthrop that efforts
have been made to trace Bishops where
abouts by gentleman of that place, and
probably the letter is good authority con-
corning the fact Of his being still in the land
of the living. The education, however, that
he striyed so hard to acquire was received
In district school and attended by no ex
pense other than the usual taxes paid by his
father.
