The Book of Christmas, by T. X. Hervey,
has a joyous title that promises good things.
1t is holiday volume, and a very appropri-
ate gift for the season it celebrates. And.
moreover, it is not one of those elegantly
useless books which. once admired, are soon
laid aside in favor of palmer, but more
available volumes. 1t is genuine eyclope-
da Of Christmas, its customs, legends, SUI
perstitions and pleasure; and its agreeable
mingling of antiquarian knowledge, genial
humor, poetic sentiment, all alike presented
with the charm of finished and elegant
essayist, render the Book of Christina one
of the pleasantest and most valuable among
the holiday gifts. The illustrations by MIR.

pressive. Boston: Roberts Brothers: Port

A press despatch from Charleston, South
Caroliua, describes the feelings with which
the news of Harrison's election has been re-
ceived in that part of the South:
Harrison's election is regarded with the gravest
apprehension In South Carolina. The people here
have been taught 10 regard him as one of the
most narrow and vindictive ostles of sectional
ism, and particularly in the coast country, where
the negroes are so largely in the majority, are
most 0iscomforting fears entertained Fifteen
Democratic county chairmen of this state have
telegraphed their views to the News and Courier
upon the effect of Harrisons election upon South
Carolina, politically and industrially. Without
exception they regard Cleyeland's defeat as pub
lie calamity
Who have been doing the teaching by
which the people of South Carolina have
learned that Harrison is lone of the most
narrow and vindictive apostles of sectional
ism?" Probably some of those interesting
Southern politicians who used to teach the
people that Abraham Lincoln was an ape OF
negro. They would be laying up treasure
and happiness for theii State if they would
teach the people that Harrison's election
means the security of a just and enlightened
tariff policy for which the Southern States
have more to expect than any other part of
the nation. Pennsylvania not excepted.

Some of the Presidents friends in New

nomination two years hence and name
Cleveland as the candidate in 1892. These
men may be right but there are thousands

The New York Evening Post, which has
spent its time lately in alternately bestowing
vituperation or worry on the Republican
party. is now much troubled lest Mr.. Harri-
son may not be able to select minister to
England capable of filling the place OF Low
ell or Phelps, who have captiyated the Brit
ons by their cultured ways and graceful
words. But there is really no necessity for
being troubled lest Mr.. Hsrrison may be
compelled to send persona non or alta when
the Republican party contains such we'll be-
hayed gentlemen and charming takers as
Chauncey Depew, or John d. Long, who
was born in Maine, and therefore must be a
little better than a man who has not enjoyed
that advantage. There is Chairman Quay,
too, who might not be great talker, but
would be very certain neither to write any
mlschieyous letters nor allow his country to
be put at disadvantage because of the dup
ing of its ministers.

The election of Hill was a triumph for the
saloon men Of New York; but it is by no
means certain that they have succeeded
thereby in deferring the inevitable passage
of restrictive law. From present returns
1t will need but four or five Democratic votes
to enable the Republicans to swing two
thirds majority in the assembly for the pur-
pose of overriding vetoes. On ordinary par
tisan measures, such Democratic assistance
could hardly be expected by the Republicans.
But temperance measure would be quite
sure to draw some support from the Demo-
cratic members on its own merits. In add
ton to this, there is feeling in New York
State that Hill may not receive very enthusi-
astic support from the members of his party
10 this winters legislature, on account Of
the disaster which has befallen Cleveland.
1t is very certain men like young Mr.. Cros-
by of New York city and other earnest sup
porters Of temperance measures in previous
legislatures, will take prompt advantage Of
the large Republican majority and any weak
ening that may occur in the Democratic pha-
laux,
