Meet,nr Of the Commltteeg.

II will be seen from the following notice
that Mr.. BARBOUR b., called together both
the stste Executive Committee ard the State
Central Committee OF the Democratic party
Of Virginia. When Mr.. BARSOCR says that
"m,ssurrs % very general interest are 10 be
considered" we may take It for granted that
he means what says lie would not cOC Vene
those cOmmittees- certainly would not con-
vene both Of them-if he did not feel
that the interests OF The people OF Virginia
demand such action a. may be recommended
by the wisest heads in the Commonwealth.
We quote the call:
ROOws or THE
STATE DEMOCRATIC ExEcUuvg COMMITTEE,
ALEXANDRIA, VA. December 81, 1883.
The members Of the State Democratic Cen.
trail and Executive Committees are requested
10 meet ~ the Exchange Hotel. Richmond.
Va. Thursday. January 10, 1889 Vt 3 O'clock
r. NJ, for general conference as to public
and party interests.
II is hoped that there will be a foil repre-
stntation OF both committees, as measures OF
very general interest are 70 be considered.
BY order JohN 5. BARBOUR,
Chairman.
". ". Scott, Secretary.
Every reader is at liberty 10 guess what
sort OF measures Mr.. BARBOUR has reference
10. We have had no conference with him
either personally or by letter or otherwise,
and therefore We can do no more than mske
guess ourselves. Our guess il that there
has been so much talk Of an extra session OF
the Legislature, and such pressure has
been brought to bear upon him in connec-
ton with that talk, that he has deemed 1t
wise to avail himself OF the counseis Of his
trusted politcal family.
The committee will meet tomorrow week.
We trust, therefore, that our Democratic
contemporaries who have been warning
upon the proposition to call an extra session
OF the Legislature will take a breathing spell
aud hear what is to be said upon the other
side OF the question.

A CHRISTMAS SERMON,

It would be q pity of tho world to
destroy it, because it would be next
to impossible to make another holi-
day as good as Christmas. Perhaps
there is no danger, but the American
people have developed an unexpected
capacity for destroying things; they
can destroy anything. They have
even invented phrase for it-run-
ming thing into the ground. They
have perfected the art of making so
much of a thing as to kill it; they
can magnify Il man or n recrention
or an institution to death. And they
do it with such hearty goodwill
and enjoyment. Their motto is that
you cannot have too much of a good
thing. They have almost made flu
nerals unpopular by over-elaboration
and display, especially what
are called public funerals, in
which an effort is made to
confer great distinction on the dead
So far has it been carried often that
there has been q reaction of popular
sentiment, and people have wished

''Shall you put your shoes outsids

The candidate thought not; he had
done it last Mt home, and though all
were heavenly kind to him here, he
had only one hearts desire, and most
certainly no Christ-Ghild would put
that in Ills shoes a'
Still if Fraulien Fridn desired it,

The children made a merry rush
for the breakfast table Christmas

OF the rapture had subsidized they
asked the candidate what he had

Nothing, n6s even his shoes.
Possibly they had been taken away
