CHRISTMAS OF 177o.
Christmas During the Dark Days
OF the Revolution,

Christmas During the Dark Days
OF the Revolution,
Christmas eye in the year 1776 was
starless and stormy in America. It
was during the darkest days of our
revolution. The American army was
dispirited, and was weakening by
constant assertions.
Washington knew not what to do,
and some of the best friends of liber-
ty advised retreat.
"Where shall we retreat?" asked
commander-in-chief.
''To the mountains" they answer
ed.
II will make one more struggle"
said Washington, land if unsuccess-
full, l will then flee to the mountains
to make last stand against the
enemies OF my country"
At Trenton, on the Delaware, was
an army of 1900 Hessians, under
Colonel Rail, who, all that Christmas
were holding high revelry. They fear
ed no enemy, for the Delaware was
full of ice, and the American army
was upon the other side.
Through all the long night hours,
the lamps fared upon the feasting
and rioting soldiery. While the revel
was at it's height, they were startled by
the cry of "The foe! the foe!"
Washington had crossed the Della
ware-a feat no one believed practical
and had marched hastily upon the
Hessian camp. Defense was futile.
Colonel Rail was shot down while
attempting to rally his men, and
nearly one thousand Hessians threw
down their arms.
So that Christmas passed into his
tory to be remembered forever by all
patriotic hearts.-Com. Advertiser.

A SONG OF KRISS KRiNGLE'S
TREE,

kriss Kringle's bells are jingling,
The frosty air is tingling,
All silvrry sounds are ningling,
This merry. merry day.
With many fleecy feather,
The snow-flakes dance together;
Here comes Kriss Kringles weather;
In good Kriss Kringle's way.
Kriss Kringle's measures tripping,
Kriss Kringle's sweetness slipping,
The while his gifts we're clipping
From brave Kriss Kringle's tree.
We set the candles burning,
Like stars and planets turning,
And every dream and yearning
There satisfied we see.
Alone and solitary,
Aloof from elf and fairy,
It grew in forest airy
Through many season dim
To reach its day Of glory,
When winter woods were hoary,
TO hear KRIS kringle's story.
And dear Kriss Kringle's hymn.
o tree that wearies never
q tree that charms us ev er!
O tree that lives forever!
The blessed Christmas tree.
Where love and kindness blending
Round up the years fair ending.
There heavens own beauty lending,
Behold Kriss Kringle's tree.

a PRESBYTERIAN DEFENSE
Against the Unjust Criticisms of Some
Prominent New York People.


PTTTsBURG, Dec. 2O.-The United Pres
byterian ministers of Pittsburg, burn
ing under the rebuke administered to
them by the most prominent diYines Of
New York city for their attitude on the
social evil question, are now framing a
vigorous reply in defense of their posi-
ton. This matter has been discussed at
the regular meeting of the preachers
association, and resolution is now be-
ing prepared.
A week ago the New York Herald
published interviews with all prominent
divines Of that city on the attitude Of
Pittsburg ministers towards dissolut9
women of the town, against whom a ree
lentless war was then being waged.
With but few exceptions the action of
the Pittsburg ministers was denounced
in emphatic language. 1t was in retail
alton for these ministerial criticisms
that Revs. Messrs. Robinson and Nc
Creery got together and proposed tho
action taken by the United Presbyterian
association.
When the smoke Of the animated dis
cussion had cleared away, the associa-
ton, as body, had adopted resolution
setting forth that the criticism of the
New Workers had been most unjust and
uncalled for, and that they were uttered
without knowledge of the existing
state Of affairs in Pittsburg. The sec
rotary was then instructed to have cop
les sent to New York ministers.

A PLUCKY OFFICER.
He MEETS TWO DESPERADOES
AND WHIPS THE FIGHT,
Killing One and Making the Other
Jump Into the River--He
Was Not Hurt.

MANCHESTER, O., Dec. 21.-Harry
Blue and his wife recently came here
from Colorado. Since his arrival he has
been spending his time in mad carousal
and exhibitions of his cowboy profcien-
cy. Monday, in company with Thomas
Bouvard, who lives in Lewis county,
Kentucky, he proceeded to get drunk,
and, as he termed it, "paint the town
red" The marshal, Robert McChesney,
hearing Of their conduct, followed them
up and attempted to place them under
arrest.
He placed his left hand on Bouvard
and, IS he did so, Bouvard and Blue
pulled their pistols and commenced
firing at him. McChesney also pulled
his pistol and returned the fire. For a
short time the sound of cracking pistols
and whistling of balls was suggestive of
fearful carnage, as the street was crowd
ed with people at the time. After the
first two shots Bouvard reeled back
few PAGES and fell dead on his face with
bullet in his breast Blue, after emp
tying the chambers Of his pistol, fed to
the river and crossed to the Kentucky
hide In a skif.
1t has since been learned that Blue
received bullet wound in his left side.
Frank Pummel, by-stander, received
stray ball in the knee. The wound is
such as to cripple him for life. Nc
Chesney, the marshal, was shot through
his overcoat. Otherwise he escaped I'M
injured. Coroner Purdy, after viewing
the remains and hearing the testimony,
pronounced the death justifable homi-
eide. The deceased was taken to his
home for burial. Officers are after Blue,
and he will soon be brought in.

tocratic legs with vigor Lorillard was

Tour Beautiful Female Slaves Murdered

C0Ns~ANTIEoPLE, Dec. 30. -Four beau
t.col male slaves were recently pre-
sented by the Khedlve OF Isyps ~ US
Sultan of Turkey and placed in the i'm
perial harem. The odalisQues appear to
have had captivating influence on the
Sultan. who paid them SO much atten-
tod as TO excite the jealousy of the other
women. The four beautiful slaves were
found murdered in their beds few days
ago, victims Of poison. The sultan was
deeply enraged when he heard of the
fate of his favorites, and ordered rigid
investigation.
Three eunuchs who had access to the
apartments Of the victims have been ar
rested on suspicion, and were subjected
to torture, to make a full confession.
Suspicion Of having instigated the crime
rests on one Of the concubines who, I'M
til the arrival Of the odalisques, monop-
olized the sultan's affections. In the
present temper of his majesty it is
doubtful whether even she would es-
cape the bowstring or the Bosphorus, if
sufficient proof Of her guilt be adduced.
