under these rules, might
put upon the statute books a force
bill, iniquitous IN its provisions and
infamous in it's objects; but It could
not obtain the commentator of the
people for it's action on the general
Legislation of the government. The
force bill could not escape the fierce
criticisms of the people; for on &C
count of the absence of discussion Of
all matters of general Importance III
Congress there was necessity for
discussion elsewhere in the press, at
the freside and the assemblage Of
the people. Of the bills which had
passed under the rules Of the House
few had become laws, and few OF
those which had, would, in his opin-
ion, remain long upon the statute
books.
There was great laughter in the
House when he contrasted the differ
ence of the rulings Of Speaker Reed
and those of Mr.. Carlisle and Ran
dali.
He said that he had no criticism
to make upon the Speaker. If the
| gentlemen on the other side were
satisfied with that speaker, ''heaven
forbid" that he should remove that
satisfaction. If they were willing to
accept the Speaker as a fair type OF
! their party he would enter no dis
sent. The Speaker had won his su-
premacy. He had exercised that
supremacy. He had been the Re
publican leader on the floor. The
Republicans had made him their
leader in the Chair, and he had exer-
cised that leadership.
Mr.. Peters also protested against
disturbing old issues and bringing
and creating a state Of irritation in
that dehberative body. Amongst
other things this Republican Repre-.
sentative said: "Why stir up these
annimossities? Why bring up these
unpleasant questions and divide par
ties and separate the North from the
South?" las if the Democrats did it,
He was followed by Mr.. Boutelle, IN
an effort to fawn like a hound before
the speaker, and pretend to defend
him, but every thing he said was toe
sickly, too be-scattered, too t,resome
to write about, and was even toe
weakly delivered to listen to,

Senator Vance has long been the
idol of the people of that State, and
it is safe to say that, should he be
overthrown now, North Carolina will
be plunged into a state Of turmoil,
strife and bitterness. The Alliance,
the Richmond and Danville Railroad
and the Republican party are, how
ever, all firing their guns at Senator
Vance, and it will be almost impos-
sible for him to climb back to the
Senate again.

Abraham Spain, OF Ohio township, lost
his home and household goods last Thurs
day evening by fire. The family had
gone to neighDoIing school house to at
tend singing school early in the evening"
but had only been there a short time
when they discovered blaze climbing up
one corner Of the house. An effort was
made to save the rbmlding. but without
avail. A few things were removed from
the house. The loss is about $500, With
no insurance.
slr Spain claims most emphatically
that his house was set on fire, and inti
mates that parties living not more than a
thousand miles away could tell something
about it. Mr.. S. lost his winters coal and
supplies, and is left IN a very unfortun-
ate position to face the winter.

Did you ever see man who could not
give his wife few pointers on cooking.
Well, that's what one of Miller's mer-
chants thought when he told his wife
there was no use Of filling the house with
the odor Of pan cakes each morning.
To omit details. the gentleman pro-
ceeded to demonstrate his theories. He
insisted there was no need of grease upon
the griddle, SO he gracefully spread out
one pan cake on the griddle, and another
on his boot. By the time he cleaned the
latter the griddle cake had got 40f move
on, and was ready to turn--that is accord
ing to all known systems OF figuring it
should have been ready--but somehow
the thing clung to that griddie in spite Of
oil he could do.

iy an American holiday. Easter is OBJ
served more especially by the church
France and England and Gerfnany have
their national anniversaries observed by
their respective peoples. But in the oh.
Beryance OF Xmas not only all the churches
bur all the nations of Christendom unite:
The Roman Catholic and the Greek church
as and Protestant churches of all denomina-
tions throwing aside for the time their dif-
ferences. make SO to speak, a pilgramage
20 Bethlehem of Judea and bow lii reYer-
ence and Gladness around the cradle of
their common Lord. 1t is beautiful
sight 10 behold and to contemplate. And
may it not be a prophecy of the future
oneness in outward organization as we'll
as in inward lie and faith of the now
discovered branches of the Church mill
tant--a oneness of the basis Of the teach
ings Of Him Of Bethlehem. But Christ
mas is more than church festival-It is
peoples festival. Christmas is the
peoples possession and inheritance from
by-gone days. To celebrate Xmas is the
privilege and the joy of every home.
Then, II ever in the year. business is sus-
pended and families are reunited. Then,
If ever, mems hearts are open and they
show the best that is in them. An
atmosphere Of rejoicing seems to encom-
pass us and we breathe it freely. Trouble
and care and perplexIty are all. for the
time, forgotten aad men universally seem
desirous OF getting and giving all the
brightness and joy that Is possible.
The High Priest Of the world wide
festival is Santa Claus-he Of geniel face
and frosty beard-a grand old man, as he
comes loaded with popcorn balls and
candies, aud doughnuts, skates and sew
ing machines, books and base balls,
slippers and sleds, toys and rumpery
iunumerable.
An old man is he? That's what the
tIillOltn bhy lou hdNt DSlt seen ululs
Yes, but papa and mamma have and they
said he was nm old man aud what papa and
mamma say Is so IS SO even If 1t amt SO.
Eeautiful fancy Seems cruel to dis
pei IL but there is another one that is
still more beautiful and it sults me bet er
because IL has better foundation i'll fact.
Why Santa Claus tells you by his name
that he isn't an old man at all. In the
old Gothic language 'Clause" means SOD
aud Santa you know, means Holy, SC
Santa Claus signifies Holy Child. Ac
cording to the Old German legenu 1t was
the Holy Child Jesus himself that came
into every home at Xmas-tide with gifts
for the children. A fancy, but still more
appropriate than the old man idea. for
around the great globe to-day it is II
fact rs well as 10 fancy, the Child-Jesu'
who is bringing the JOY OF the glad Gma'
