The merry church bells of Monday
evening proclaimed the advent of joy
Gus Christmas, and the celebrations in
our houses of worship and public halls
were as usual inaugurated in grand and
impressive style. At the Lutheran,
Congregational and Holy Trinity
Churches, the Sunday School children,
accompanied by their parents and
friends, assembled and witnessed the
lighting of the ever welcome tree and
the distribution of presents. None
went away empty handed, eTen the
poorest and most humble were happy
recipients of gift and all hearts Joined
in well wishings for one another. At
the NJ. E. church the congregation and
school assembled on Tuesday evening
to celebrate the eventful day and to re-
hearse the lessons taught in the past.
At Turner Hall the Sunday School
scholars were as usual treated to dec
Grated tree and Christmas gifts on Tues
day evening. and the lovers of Terpsi-
chores art enjoyed themselves till the
wee hours of morning. Tonight a
grand ball will be given at Union Hall,
and the New Ulm Maennerchor has ar
ranged for a merry entertainment at
the Tivoli.

1t is surprising how many peculiar things a
man will do when he has more time and
money at his disposal than he knows what to
do with.
Not long since two young Englishmen Of
fortune were travelling in this country. They
visited many sections, and one day their con-
versation attracted the attention of fellow
traveller. A conversation in which all three
Joined followed.
"Where is your destination" was asked Of
the Englishmen.
I'VE scarcely know yet. But we are at
present en- route for the Mississippi RIVER"
replied the one of them.
"Merely for the sake of getting look at
that mighty stream"

The Story Of a Bullet.


While the Fifth Maine Regiment was sup
porting the First Massachusetts Battery on
the Sd of May, 1868, at the attack at the at
tack of the Sixth Corps, commanded by
Gen. John Sedgwick, on Fredericksburg,
during the movements of the Union army
under Hooker against Chancellorsville-the
colonel of the regiment having directed his
men to throw themselves on the ground, saw
a rebel sharp-shooter some nine or ten hun
bred yards off pegging away at some of the
gunners, and he called out to his men to
keep watch of the sharp-shooter's move
ments. Soon this rebel rifeman fired, send
ing bullet through the left hand and into
the flesh part of the side of Dan Stearns,
member of the Bethel Company.
"Haye you got it, Dan ?" asked the Colon
Ell, who was aware that the shot had fallen
In Stearns' locality.
mo, haven't got it, but it has passed
through my hand" was the answer. Dur
ing the excitement of the moment he did not
feel the bullet strike his side.
One hot day about four years after, as
Stearns was at work in the Lewiston
Bleachery, he felt an uncomfortable sensa-
ton in his side, and upon examination he
found bunch or swelling which he thought
must be tumOr. He Immediately went to
DIR. AlOnzo Garcelon, who cut the supposed
tuIDOr open and found not a tum0r, but the
identical rebel bullet that had passed
through his hand at Fredericksburg.
The colonel Of the regiment now carries
that bullet as memento of the battle.

1t is said that as Inaugura ion Day ap-
proaches the sense Of responsibility weighs
more heavily upon General Harrison, and
becomes even oppressive. General Harrison,
too, is said by those who know him to be one
of the most self-reliant Of men but this does
not prevent him from properly approaching
the stupendous responsibilities of the execu-
tive head Of a nation of nearly seventy mil
lions of people. Not only must he be Presi-
dent, but by the system Of American politics
he will be regarded as the leader of great
party, and there will arise from this consid-
erations that he cannot ignore IL he would
The trials Of monarchs have begotten the
saying Uneasy rests the head that wears

public life might well beget more demo
cratic saying, that never rests the head un-

The st. John Telegraph, commenting upon
the number and variety of the questions
which the Maine legislature will consider
this winter, thinks that no topic in the list
will provoke more discussion than
the salaries Of the members. Well, that
is pretty important question. Asst is now,
after the legislator has spent ten weeks be-
meath the roof of the rapacious Augusta

offset by his board bill, and were 1t not for
the fact that the State pays mileage to his
home. some of them might have to become
permanent residents on the Kennebec. There
are two remedies for this state Of things.
One is to raise the salaries, the other is to
move the capital to Portland where the tav-
ern keepers are not rapacious. The latter

The Washington correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Transcript, a conservative journal little
given to sensations, telegraphs that it is
stated in Washington on good authority that
Warner Miller win represent New York in
the cabinet, while Thomas G. Platt will be
satisfied with the collectorship of the port OF
New York. The same correspondent also
hears from a reliable source that Governor
Proctor of Vermont and John c. New, of
Indiana, have been selected for cabinet
places. An air of reasonableness is lent to
the story about Governor Proctor by the fact.
now almost forgotten, that from the first to
the last ballot Vermont's seven votes were
thrown for Harrison every time. Mr.. New
is personal friend of General Harrison,
and, being prominent man in Indiana as
well, this relationship is abundant explana-
tion Of that part of the story.

A circular has been sent to some of the
members of the Legislature and probably to
all-making some very grave charges against
one of the candidates for State Office.
Who the author is does not appear. 1t is
anonymous. The obvious purpose Of the
circular is to iniure the candidate, chances
of election. But with fairminded and hon.
orable men such a document ought to have
no weight. The proper way to treat it is to
ignore it altogether. If there be anything in
the character or career Of candidate for
public office That renders his election unfit
1t is right and proper thatit should be stated,
but It should be stated in way that will en-
able the candidate to meet it, No man
ought to be expected to make reply to

There is likely to he pretty sharp contest
over the United States Senatorship when
the West Virginia legislature meets. The
Democrats have been claiming they will
have majority of one on joint ballot, but
ex-senator Davis, who is as familiar as any
body with the situation, and besides is a
Democrat, says that this claim is unfounded
Two of the members were elected as labor
reformers, and nobody knows how they will
vote. Mr.. Davis thinks that one them, at
least, is likely to vote with the Republicans.
This would tie the legislature on joint ballot.

A correspondent of the Springfield Union

correspondent Of the Springfield Union
wants to know who would be President If
Gen. Harrison should die before the electors
chosen last November should cast their votes
for President and Vice President. The
same question has been asked hereabouts Of
late. The Union answers it in this way
''The Republican electors, in the event Of
Gen. Harrison's death, would be at liberty
as they are now in theory Ito vote
for whomsoever they pleased for Presidents
and, II no one should have majority of
their votes the House Of Representatives
would choose the President from the
two or three persons having the highest
number Of votes in the electoral colleges. In
that case the States would have one vote
each and that vote would be Republican or
Democratic according to the political COM

plexion of the majority of the representa-
tives from that State" This is probably
the correct answer. Another question Is.
Who would be President in case Gen. Harri-
son should die between the time the electors
met and voted and the fourth Of March. In
that case it would seem to be clear that 1t
would be Mr.. Morton. For Mr.. Morton
would have been declared Vice President
and the constitution provides that in case of
the death of the President the Vice Presi-
dent shall succeed

punctuated with laughter and APP
plause, there was a sort of mourn
full undercurrent. The fact that the

could not be concealed. And though they
sought to console their listeners by predict
ing that the people would reverse their judg-
ment after fuller hearing the effort was
not altogether success. The dinner was
delicious, however, and that made amends
for the failure of the soul to flow as pleasant

Among prominent Democrats of the
State there has of late been some talk of
nominating Judge Dreher, of Monroe
county, as the Democratic candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court. While 1t
will make no difference whom the Demo
Gratis may nominate as their candidate for
this high office, 30 far as the result of the
election is concerned, yet We know of no
one who is more worthy the honor of the
nomination than is Judge Dreher. For
years he has presided over the courts of
Monroe and Carbon counties with an
ability and dignity which is extraordinary
even among judges. He Is yet in the
prime of life and has the promise of many
more years of usefulness upon the bench.
OF the highest character and integrity,
possessing an extraordinary knowledge of
the law and keen discrimination in its
administration, ripe in his judicial expert
ence, clear and comprehensive in all his
legal opinions, of uuQuestioned fairness
and impartiality in all his decisions, revered
and honored by all who know him, and
most by those who know him best, Judge
Dreher is peculiarly well qualified to receive
this great honor from his party. For years
we have known Judge Dreher intimately
| well, and all that we have said of him comes
of our personal knowledge of him and
acquaintance with him. While we should
of course support Judge Mitchell for tn,
