Tho s1dden sfgsr0r Tor ssalsaing, added
to tho inevitable buzz OF holiday prepa-
ration, drove the usually quiet popnla-
ton into q fever Of action. Every avail
able sleigh, however old, was rooted
from its hiding place; horses accustomed
only to the plow and tho market wagon
pricked mp their cars to the unwonted
hi-g' langl OF excited drivers, and even
crockery crates and dry goods boxes
were pct upon extenperizad runners.
All Piketon, swathed in furs or blank
cts, was bundled into something that
would slide; the road 10 the Bulls
Eyes-the sedate droyers' tavern five
miles out-wIas resonant with tho merry
music Of their bells and the roliicking
laughter Of their occupants, while its
primitive bar room and sanded parler
were alike crowded from nipping morn
to frosty eve.
And how delicious is a sleigh ride
when all surroundings are propitious.
Who that has ever wintered IN a snow
country but has store Of ready reeol-
lections that spring up at the first sound
Of the bells? Be he a serious, well round

iscences, unrolling themselves like mar

they find the gleam but deceptive
one now, and, after blinking at the
present for while, creep back again

long, says the bishop, ''the Catholics md
German Lutherans will condemn the
compulsory education Law in Illinois and
other states. I've watched the progress
Of this issue in Wisconsin ever since MIR.
Bennett framed the law which has become
famous, and l believe the issue of com
pulsory education will supersede all tariff
and other political interests at the next
presidential election. The great question
as to whether Americans or Roman Cath
olics are to control this country has
reached a point where an open fight is in
evitable. While the Americans have been
sleeping the Roman Catholics have been
laboring with untirinR energy, and their
efforts have not been futile. They are
building up a power in this country which
threatens To prove disastrous to the United
States. Not only do most OF the Roman
Catholics put their children in parochial
schools, but they place Catholic teachers
in the public schools to exercise an in
iucncc over the children of other demon
ieations."

The BATTLE or THE KEYS.

The national Geographic tournament
which begins in New York city to-day
is an event of marked importance In
the history of telegraphy. Few branches
of skilled labor have made greater ad-
vances during the past quarter OF a
century. Upwards of seventy of the
crack operators of the country, includ-
ing twenty ladies have entered the con-
test, and the battle of the keys will be
sharp and exciting. 1t is expected that
all previous records will be broken. In
1855 Robson won the championship
with n Morse instrument and Victor
key, with a o of 800 words in 10
minutes. 81 seconds. The 800 words
then used contained 2,33i Morse char
acters, fifteen periods and four commas,
n total of 2,37s characters, or an aver
age of 23O characters to the minute-a
rapidity almost inconceivable, when
contrasted with the thirty-word gait OF
the cracks of a dozen years ago, and
which, as Mr.. Phillips, m of the
judges, has computed, is equal to nine
teen movements of the hand per
second. an achievement that places the
piano gymnastics OF IhalDerg, o
Bulow, Rubinstein and DAlbert de-
cidedly in the shade.
The operators union is probably n
of the strongest and best managed in
the United States. Since the great
strike of v years ago, there has
been no serious trouble between the
companies and the men, who as a class
are faithful, careful, hardworking fell
lows. When the intelligence and alert
ness requisite in a telegraph operator
are taken into consideration, coupled
with the responsibility that necessarily
devolves upon him, this fact becomes
very apparent-th as a rule he is
u%nderpaid. In spite of the unremuner-
alive character of the vocation, how
ever. the standard of excellence hitherto
has been maintained,

ton of Mr.. Walton. II Processes to

promotion of intercourse between the
two republics and an increased bust

peculiar to that country, and found
