NEW YEARS DAY AT THE Ma.
TIONAL CAPITAL-TALK OF
THE PAPERS ABOUT THE LA.
DIES.
Washington papers have columns
descriptive of the receptions on New
Years day, particularly the great rush
at the Presidential mansion. One of.
the chief features in these notices is
the space devoted to describing the
elaborate costumes of the ladies.
Every conceivable ornamentation of
foreign or home device for displaying
to advantage the person of lady was
brought into requisition. A new yo-
cabulary for giving the meaning of
names of the articles now used to en-
bellish and adorn is needed for the
benefit of the uninitiated. 1t is wonder
full how lady's dress can transform
her personal appearance. The art of
fitting garments has been carried TO
great perfection. An ill-shapen and
rickety woman, q hump-back or dis
proportional waist, can by the skill of
professional filter be padded and
spliced so as to deceive the expert re-
porter, who makes it a business to dis
tribe handsome women and their equip-
age for the daily papers. There are
some defects in natures fashioning of
women which art can do little OF
nothing to remedy; a mouth too lar ge
by one half or an ugly nose are diff.
cult to improve; bad complexion
may by cosmetics be made passable fol
an occasion. But there is one defect
the greatest of all, which the wearel
Of any amount of diamonds or Jewel
ry can not effectually conceal, nor car
beauty of person hide i. from detection
1t is an uncultivated mind, devoid OF
refinement, coarse, vulgar.

WATCH NIGHT.

This is a custom more commonly OBJ
served by the Methodists, but not con-
fined to that denomination. 1t is made
in some churches an impressive service.
Churches of different denominations
in Chicago held watch night services
last week. Watch night is sometimes
observed by individuals at their homes.
A lady in this city, who has passed
her eighty-eighth year. and is still vi.
gor0us and in the enjoyment of her
mental faculties, with the freshness
of earlier years, is in the practice of
keeping watch night. She informs us
that she and her son, we'll known
business man, spent the closing hours
of Thursday night in reading and medi-
tating on the lessons Of the dying year,
and awaiting the moment when the
clock should strike the midnight hour,
as the signal Of the departure of the
old year and the incoming of the new
born year, to be welcomed by the loud
acclaim of praise to the Most High
around the world.

METHODIST AND CONGREGA-
TIONALIST.

The Congregational church and so.
cIety of Appleton, Wis. held meet
ing on the last day of December, 1885,
to choose a pastor for their vacant pull
pit. The name of Rev. John Faville,
late pastor CT the Methodist church of
Fond du Lac, was proposed as a candi-
date. The church and society voted
separately, and both unanimously for
Rev. Faville. Salary $1,000, and $50
moving expenses.
There is nothing strange about all
occurrence of this kind; change of a
Methodist to a Congregational. or of
the latter to the former, involves no
change of doctrinal belief, but only q
difference in church government.

DEATH AND RESURRECTION.

DEATH AND RESURRECTION.
Mr., John F. Munger, we'll known
citizen of Plateville, Wis, was seized
with spasms, which ended in what was
supposed his death. His physician
and other medical men who were sum-
moned pronounced Mr., Munger dead.
The undertaken set about preparing
the body for burial. subsequently the
certainty of his death was tested by
scientific experiments, and symptoms
of life appeared. These were contin-
ued until Mr.. Munger was restored TO
consciousness. He slowly returned to
life, and is now out of danger. This
case, although remarkable one,
should be a warning against too hasty
burialS.

be opened again on next Monday.
The schools also in the country towns,
which had been in vacation, will re-
sumo their sessions on Monday next
A number of the public schools in the
country have not taken any vacation,
but have continued on. The County
Superintendent informs us that the
schools in the several towns have been
running without serious interruption,
and have to a gratifying extent been
harmonious. In this city there is
room for improvement in the matter
of school attendance. Quite too many
boys have been on the streets during
past months without visible employ
ment who ought to have been in school.
There is a law on this subject which
might be enforced.

LONG nocUMESTs-That the day OF long mes
sages is about to pass away is generally conceded,
as in our day and generation bnt few people have
time TO peruse nine or ten columns of closely
printed matter, aud those who have prefer moro
interesting literature. The New York Herald
speaks as follows of Gov. Hills last document
Governor Hills message year ago, when he
succeeded Governor Cleveland, was long that
most people who thought they cared to read it
folded the paper and laid it away TO wait for
leisure, and 1t is needless to remark that leisure
for stale reading seldom arrives. Yet, as a journ-
al!st, he must have been aware of the methods as
well as tho value of brevity. Is the Governor
obstinate or conceited or both in perpetrating 2
longer message this year? However this may be,
having asccrtained by experiment that the public
deems seven colnmns Of Governor Hill at once too
much, we compress him TO two columns aud
b,lieve that We do him service for which he
should be grateful. ia securing thereby popular
reading of some of his recommendations, which
they would not get otherwise"
