HANGING TIE CHRISTMAS Stocking
When the presents are chosen and safely
housed. the next question to be answered is,
how shall they be given? writes Elizabeth
Robinson Scovil in the Christmas number Of
the Ladies Home Journal. Sh2ll the children
hang M their stockings and keep up the fic-
tion of Santa Clans. or shall tie gifts be hid
den under the napkins on the breakfast table,
or shall they be placed on Christmas tree
Like most carthi V plans each has its advan-
tages and counter balancing disadvantages.
In some families there are circumstances that
answer the question, and leave no choice,
while others are free to choose whichever
seems best.
So much poetry clusters about the legend of
Santa Claus that the ideal celebration of
Christmas must include the filling of the
stockings First. there is the delicious cere
mony of hanging them by an open fireplace,
if possible. on Christmas Eve; the procession
of father. mother aud happy children. each
child with stocking, all eager to find good
place to deposit them where Santa Claus,

possibly overlook them; the important bust

WATERFALL, Va, Dec. lGth.-I have
not enjoyed the pleasure of meeting
you since the cyclone struck and hope
it is not too late now to say shake"
The magnitude of our victory seems as
great surprise to ourselves rs to our
opponents. and our political solons are
puZzling their brains to account for ii
and think the result due to one or the
other planks in the Chicago platform,
ignoring the true reasons which are so
plain that one who runs can read them.
When Providence decreed that the colo
MES should throw off their allegiance to
Great Britain and form an independent
republic he produced George Washing
ton as the instrument for working out
his will. Afterwards when the limit he
had set for the existence of slavery in
America had arrived Abraham Lincoln
came forth us the chosen one. And now,
when the republic seemed in the last
throes ofdissolu;ion. its treasuary bank
rupt and its foundations ruined and
sapped by dishonesty and fraud, again
we have the hour and the man, and
Grover Cleveland comes forth with the
American people at his back to save the
country redeemed by Washington. The
result cannot he attributable to free sill
yer or the tariff or any other political
tenet, but TO fair stand up fight be-
tween honesty and corruption. When
saw such men as Judge Gresham and
MacVeagh and hosts of other prominent
republicans breaking their party bonds
and casting them under their feet, while
they stepped forth aed took their places
in the ranks, to fight for an honest gov
eminent, l knew at cnce that the jig
was up and the child named Grover.
Among the many good effects of our
glorious victory, not the least will be
the dispelling the cloud of doubt and
distrust that had enveloped the minds
ofthose who were sceptical as to the
durability of our form of government,
as it conclusively proves that a vast
majority of the people of the United
States favor an honest government. a
few days after the great political hight
of 1854 wrote poem on it, some OF
the verses OI NHICH oe0Ah 'SS'''
fitted to our last conflict. One espec-
ially seems so extremely appropriate;
although written eight ago, that | Will
give it:
See noble C!e-eland dashing,
On his stout stced Rctor"',
His sword is out and flashing
Like lightning in the storm
Woe 10 the foe that bars his cause,
Mounted on the restless horae,
For where he mingles in the fray
All opposition dies away.
And now thank God the victorys won
We've saved the land OF Washington.
Yes, firmly believe that we have just
emerged from one of the darkest clouds
that has hitherto enveloped our land,
and that Grover Cleveland was the
chosen instrument of God for leading
az ont of the wilderness. B.

vor the attempt to purge the pension
!. lis RECEIVES in the South

L lis receives in the South;
such utterances give painful and
ominous evidence that the spirit of dis
LOYALTY and hatred ofthe Union and the
| mons defenders is far from being SUD
dued in the South. 1t has been Quies-
cent. while the republicans were in par
tial or entire control ofthe government;
but now that the democrats are about
to return TO the power from which they
were hurled in disgrace thirty-two
wears AGO, the old hatred OF the north
ern veterans breaks out among south
ern Bourbons as bitter rs ever, not be-
cause they are pensioners. but because
they were Union soldiers.
1t is to be hoped that no such gabble
as this will deter the democrats in Con-
gress, whether they hail from the South
or North, from assisting, to the utmost
extent of their ability, any and cSery ei-
fort that may be made to revise the
pension list and 10 strike from it the
