The Christmas festival has been cele- hrated from time immemorial. It an- tidates the christian era, and probably originated in the worship of the sum. Mallet, in his Northern Antiquities says {; ''It was custom that every where prevailed in ancient times to celebrate feast at the winter solstice, by which men testified their joy at seeing this great luminary (the sum re- turn again to this part of the heavens. ' The Greenlanders to this day keep Q Sun-Feast at the winters solstice, about December P, to rejoice at the return of the sun, which custom they may have learnt of the Norwegian colony for nI,nrly settled in Greenland Whatever its origlic., Christmas is in modern times, as in past ages, the greatest festival of the year; a day for generous deeds, for the distribution of charity, for the re- union of families, for the exchange of gifts, for mirth and pleasure, It is as- sociated with the best sentiments, with the best feelings of the human heart and is a festival in the celebration of which all may join, regardless of rel- gious sentiment or bias, Then,

The New York and New Jersey
 Bridge Commissioners have received 6
 report from Mir Thomas C. Clarke, the
 chief engineer. The report was moi made public, especially as to location. Generally outlined, the plan proposes to bring all the railroads centering ID New York into one great union station within the city. The bridge would have eight tracks, would cost "between s30, ,000, 900 and S40, 900, 900, " and the bridge is to be centrally located This is not the North River bridge, npon which Congress has taken action and which has engineers now at work on the surveys.

James Lewis & Sons, of Liverpool, ill their December report on ores and metals say "The stocks of copper held by both English and French smelters and manufacturers at their works is very small, nearly the whole available supply appearing in the public stocks, which latter have decreased 3,475 tons, and the visible supply 2,867 tons dur. ing the past month Imports are 6,021 tons less and deliveries 27, l58 tons greater to date than during the same nerioda.ast ,voqr
 From the above it will be seen that the statistical position of copper is very strong, and the recent decline in price can be accounted for Cnly because of the recent financial crisis in London and New York, and, therefore, it is but reasonable to look for higher prices and buoyant market with the opening of the new year. The consumption of copper in electrical manufacture is enormous and new uses are continually being found for the metal, which as- sures an increasing demand.

SILVER DISCRIMINATION,

A special to the San Francisco Exam iner says: The constitutionality of the present silver law is to be tested and the question whether the Government has right to treat silver as commod- ity and restrict the amount to be coined settled once and for all.
 Several weeks ago there was an in formal conference in Denver of the leading silver men of the State, among whom were eX-Senator Tabor, E. B. Smyth, Dennis Sheedy, Hadley B. Morse and a number of gentlemen from Leadville and other camps of the State. The mines represented were the richest in Colorado, and also represented sthe largest output. The purpose of their gathering together was to devise some plan whereby they could advance the price of silver
 The meeting lasted some time and was held behind closed doors. The plan proposed was simply to test wheth- CT the Government had the right to discriminate against one money metal Tn favor of another Several thousand dollars was subscribed. on the spot to defray the expense of the fight which was to be made.
 Hadley B. Morse, the well-known mining man of Central City, and an other prominent mine owner as well q. an expert, were selected to inaugural, the fight. The expert left Denver Thursday night for Chicago to consul some legal authorities. Mir. Morse Jeff on Saturday night and joined his col league in Chicago, and they reached Washington to-day.
 Their plans have been carefully laid 1 An Eastern representative of one of tho | Colorado smelters will meet them witt a bar of silver containing 1000 ounces of silver, together with certificate oi its tineness from one of the Govern ment hints. Mir. Morse will then in form Mir, Wirdom, the Secretary ot the Treasury, that he wants coin fol the bullion. As q matter of course hi demand will be refused. The Colorado men will then apply to one of tn, courts for writ of mandamus to com pei Secretary Windom to purchase the silver. When NIT. Morse left Denver he stated that it had not been deter mined as to which court he would ap ply for the writ. He thought it prob able that the District Court of the Dis trict of Columbia would be sought If however, there would not be too mucl delay the aid of the United States | Supreme Court would be invoked The question at issue, they claim, is not { complicated one. It is simply one O whether the Government can eoir without limit one money metal while the coinage of another is curtaEed
 They will also attack the present oil yer bill on the ground of its being class legislation, hence invalid. The Colo rado men who conceived the plan have unlimited wealth and they will make { bitter fight.

CURIOUS RELICS.
Implements of the Stone Age Found in
Arizona.

Implements of the Stone Age Found in
Arizona.
Among the guests now at the American
Exchange is George H. Ordway of Phoenix,
Ariz. Mr.. Ordway, who was member
Of Company Z, California Battalion of
Volunteers, which went East at the War of
the Rebellion, has been mining in Arizona
for many years. He is of a scientific turn
of mind and for some time past has been
engaged in excavating ami exploring the
numerous mounds that ab0Ind in Maricopa
County, AriZ
Two miles out of Phoenix he dug into a
mound which is about 800 feet IN length
and 200 in width. He dug down about 10
feet and discovered houses that had proUa-
bly, been buried for centuries. Here he
found stone axes and hammers. drinking
cups Of stone, bone avis, needles and Orna-
mentS, porous stone mattates. In some
houses he found teeth, charcoal, charTed
corncobs, green and red paint and ochre
and many other things that had been used
by people of primitive age.
In one mound he found number of pieces
of slate rectangular in shape. They were
raised on the sides and embellished with
nude figures and serpentine lines.
William Acton, the scientist, who has
carefully examined them, says that they
are exactly similar to those found among
the relics taken from the ruins of the
mound builders all over the Mississippi
valleys, and undoubtedly belong to the
stone age.
The rooms Of the houses described meas
ured about nine by ten feet. On digging
down under the floor skeletons were found,
showing that the natives buried their dead
in their houses. In some houses there were
three and four layers of these skeletons.
Each skeleton was laid in grave with
the head to the East. Each grave was
formed of a kind Of concrete, making an
air-tight coffin. At the head of each was an
"Ohlea J." OF water jar, and in some were
drinking cups and shells carved into differ
ent shapes. There were no metal instru-
ments of any description.
Mr.. Ordway will exhibit his collection
this evening to the members of the Acad-
envy of Sciences, and after a short stay here
wiffreturn to resume his explorations.
