talk about forming u company for

Western Union Telegraph line from

tile f'culIy OF Telegraphic Com
muncation, while it leaves Grant
and Pleasant without that very I'M
plr'ant accommodation it 81 badly
needs. Why not take hold of tho
matter and push il. All that is
needed is some reliable person 10
take the lead aid sty :" come on -
and something TO AROUSE the people
TO their own interests aud more so
to the benefit OF their country. 1t
IS true that telegraph line is not
u railroad. bat il is a. sop nearer.
Did we have locomotives running
on graded tracks before we hnd
horses hitchcd to the wagon? This
would prove mutual benefit to the
people ut large in reach of its
course. All that Is needed is COM
bined efforts, which there should bc
no hcsitancy in making. The
expense would bc nominal. Ny
time being limited and not beng
very well posted on the subject,
will not be able to further discuss
il now, but hope my brother corrc-
spondcnts for the several county
papers may feel enough interest in
Improvement and welfare of their
county TO write on tho subject
from different points they would bo
interested in it. Hoping this will
not occupy too much space and
that it may prove interesting to tho
readers, ] shall try to interest you

Attorney General Miller is said
to be mad beciuse instead of giving
him the place on the bench of the
Supreme Court which went to Mr..
Shiras as a peace-offering to Mr..
Blaine, to whose wife he Is related,
MIR. Harrison gave the promise that
he should have the first vacancy
that occurs during his second term.
Mr.. Miller regards the probability
of n second term as entirely too
ETHEREAL to be satisfying. but he does
not openly kick against the man
who brought him from obscurity to
the Attorney-General's Office.

chink. II stood alone on the edge Of the woods
where the roads cross. On q great black walnut
tree o lantern was hung TO guide the horsemen
and drivers and those on foot, who came swing
ing their own lanterns % II they were so many
firefies. You could hear the laughter and the
jolly singing away down the road before they
came. Families came together, including the
baby with his bald head and red flannel gown.
Quilts and army blankets were used where
shawls were scarce. Not all the Christmas
jewellers had whole clothes, but hardly man
or woman or child wss there who had not
brought gift for some one else.
The room was decorated lavishly with ma
lures own Christmas gift to Arkansas
holly and the mistletoe; and enormous cotton
letters starting out Of the green babe every one
platform stood the noblest fir Of the hills laden
with candles and tinsel ornaments, and SPLEEN
did dolls and picture books, and knives with
the blades open, to shine the more and divers
other wonders; while Santa Claus hardly had
stepping room, so heaped was the noor with
parcels.
All the Medlarks were present-Mrs. Medlark
very hush and proud, the children in their best,
and Mcdlark, who had no best, in the unusual
toilet OF his hair cut Such magnificent heap
as lay on Mrs. Medlark's lapl A warm shawl
from the FRANCHISES; bonnet from Miss Car
roll; plated spoons from Mrs. Carroll She
would touch these treasures occasionally and
draw . deep breath, but it was the little things
from the children-Ambrose's oilcloth and
Clay's saucer-that had kindled the happy light
In her eyes. Ambrose and Clay and Pearl had
unexpected gifts, which seemed to them most
gorgeous, and their faces shone; but, though he
held new pair Of gloves and Ambrose's pipe in
bis hand, DR.. Medlark's face was far less cheer
ful than It used to be. He was thinking Of the
money, which he could not remember without
guilty pang, though it was safely back in it's
place; and for the first time, when he took his
children's presents, he had not thought, easily,
''Oh. well, next year I'll have plenty,
maybe, to give them all round" Instead,
he contrasted his empty hands with his wife's
and Ambroses struggles to give to him. "The
onliest Christmas gift got to give them is Jest
to promise solemn to myself I'll never send
another cent to the lottery" he thought sadly,
and Miss Carroll wondered at his downcast air.
But In q second his own face and many other
faces with wrinkles in them lightened at an ir-
repressible squeal Of Joy from Ambrose. OF
course 1t was over the new photographs which
Miss Carroll had printed for him. '.Oh, amt
we all got beautiful presents!' he cried; 1.-The
beautifulest presents ever was"
His father gently patted his head and his
mother answered out Of her full heart: "Yes,
we has, son, bless the Lord!'
But the best present that she received that
night was the present given in secret, but
working its blessings opcnly-the vow that her
husband made because Of her son, and has
faithfully kept to this day.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
1t is not generally known that it is to Mr..
Isaac Holden, N. P, that we owe the invention
Of the lucifer match. This discovery was, he
himself has told us, the result Of Q happy
thought. SIN the morning used to get up at
O'Clock in order to pursue my studies, and
used at that time the flint and the steel, in the
use Of which 1 found very great inconvenience
OF course knew, as other chemists did, the ex-
plosive material that was necessary in order to
produce instantaneous light; but it was very
difficult to obtain light on wood by that eI-
plOsive material and the idea occurred to me to
put sulphur under the explosive mixture.

chemistry, O course Of which was delivering at
o large academy.
"There was" added Mr.. Holden. "a Young
man in the room whose father was a chemist in
London. and he Immediately wrote to his father
about it, and shortly after lucifer matches
were issued to the world. believe that was
the first occasion that we had the present lucifer
match. was urged to 60 and take out patent
Immediately, but I thought 1t was so small

not think it proper to go and get patent,

very profitable"

roster Of my faults, for she enumerated them

tentious dwelling, and thought it time to ask
for an explanation. She turned upon me quite
Indignantly, stopped, looked hard at me- then

taken me for her husband. I accepted her
apology on condition that the lecture she had

HEADGEAR.
In tie way Of headgear for little heads the
mothers should be careful not to make choice Of
large flowers for garniture, so that the child
may not seem TO be wearing her big sisters hat.
