CHRISTMAS BELLS.

Dear are the sounds Of the Christmas chimes
In the land Of the ivied towers,
And they welcome the dearest Of FESTIVAL times
In this western world Of ours
Bright on the holly and mistletoe bough
The English freight falls,
And bright are the wrsathed evergreens now
That gladden. our own home walls.
And bark the first sweet note that tells
The welcome of the Christmas bells.
They are ringing tonight through the Norway
frs,
And across the Swedish fells,
And the Cuban palm-tree dreamily stirs
To the sound of those Christmas bells
They ring where the Indian Ganges rolls
Its food through the rice-fields widc
They swell the far hymns of the Laps and
Poles,
To the praise Of the Crucifed.
Sweeter than tones of the oceans shells,
Mingle the chimes of the Christmas bells
The years come not back that have circled
away
With the past of the Eastern land,
When He plucked the corn on the Sabbath day
And healed the withered hand
But the bells shall join in joyous chime
For the One who walked the sea,
And ring again for the better time
Of the Christ that is to be;
Then ring for the earth's best promise
dwells
In ye, 0 joyous prophet bells.

whence the waters sf the Great Lake

Where do the waters OF Lake
Michigan cone fromg is an old
question, and il is a question as old
as the arie>ian wells. Where do
their waters come from Col.
Foster, an eminent civil engineer,
Tor mauy years in charge Of gov.

fond of lalking on the first subject.
Every drop of those waters, he
was often heard 10 declare, came
from The Rocky Mountains. His
theory was that they were brought
there subteraneously, but he new

subleraneous stream.
He announced this as his con-

consequent discovery Of the now
undoubted fact.
William B. Ogden held the same
view, and used at times make
himself very interesting in ex.
planning upon il. With him as

was more than a theory, but he
adhered to it firmly.

German health authorities in
bread making. It was discovered
that the refuse left after the oil

bread made with an admixture of
peanuts or peanut refuse would
certainly be highly nutritious, in.

The Lsnely Hlll Man.

Capt. John Miller, of the Light
Infantry, is one of the staunchest
Democrats IN The district, says a
Washington paper. He was the
chief marshal OF the recent torch.
light procession in honor of the
Cleveland victory. He tells a
good story on himself in connec-
ton with his trip to the Chicago
convention. While en- route to
Chicago he thought he would feel
The public pulse along the road, so
at the various stopping places he
got out on the rear platform and
made short speeches in favor Of
Senator Hill. The name of Hill
did not arouse enthusiasm, greatly
TO the surprise Of Captain Miller,
who before leaving Washington
had an idea that the Democrats Of
the country weie hungry for HILLS
nomination. Not hand was
clapped in response 10 the Cap
iain's eloquence until the train
reached a little town out in Ohio.
There one man in The crowd ap.
plauded the name OF Hill quite
vigorously. Captain Miller paused
in his speech, jumped off The train
and rushed up 10 the man saying:
,'Mv dear friend, l am glad 10
know that there is one man in this
God-forsaken country who appre-
ciates the name ot Hill"
II don't belong here" replied
the man.
II came out on The train with
you, Captain jack"
That put an end 10 Captain
Mil!er's electioneering for Senator
Hill.

If only certain people could every
day take a vacation. say IF two hours,
from being moral, an! looking at
everything from a moral to.rt of view.
and could spend these two hours in
playing on other strings of their ma.
lures. how relieved and thankful all
about them would be! Their very re-
ligion is too often nothing but an acute
cas of moral tribulation. Surely the
all bountiful God never treated them
as they treat him in return. Was he
not forever seeking to make them
frolic in their children, sing in the
birds. exult in the mountain and
ocean? Did he ever care t. make the
piping robin moral, or the sunset in
structive? Even when the tragedies
of life assail his children, and their
dearest ones are taken away, is there
any warrant for believing that he
would have them look forward to re-
union in the blessed realm beyond as
the reunion of mere naked, disem-
bodied c~onsciences. with nothing added
akin to the groves and lakes. the rivers
and mountains. the mirth and brigth
intelligence, the poets. builders and
prophets. who were gerially given
here below to set all the varied strings
OF the nature vibrating. and so to get
the soul IN tune for the fuller smy-
phouy to come!

HOW WILL TIE UNITED STATES
SENATE STAND?

N4aEF.G
On March 18th next the terms OF
t%wenty-nine members OF the United
States senate Will expire. OF these rigl,-
teen are republicans and eleven are
democrats. The eleven democratic
members will either be returned to their
seats or replaced by other democrats,
but in the cases OF The eigheeen repul,i-
cans there are five chances at least t'.,t
the political complexion OF the senators
may be changed. These chances are in
Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New
York and Wisconsin. New York is GER
tain to elect Il democratic senator to
succeed Hiscock. Montana is likely to
go democratic, and there is a possibility
that " ichigam and Wisconsin, or one OF
them, may replace II republican senator
by Il dem ocrlt. In is unlike
ly that the republicans will control y
| majority OF the legislature. and therefore
improbable that senator Paddock will
succ. ed himself or thar any other repub-
lican will take his place. 1t may require
4; coalition between the democrats aud
the alliance members to elect II a
who is not a republican. but even such
Il combination is more likely ti,Ln that
the republicans can elect their man.
The Importance OF the doubtful states
comes from the TACT that the ple>ent le.
publican majority in the senate is only
six, there being forty-sevcn republicans,
thirty-nlnc democrats and two alliance
men. In order, therefore, to hold their
control of the senate, it will be necessary
for the republicans to secure at least
three OF the live doubtful states above
named. II they should lose New York,
us they vii, ud Montttl Il and NebrIs-
ka, us they may, the republicans will bs
in the minority III the United States
senate, or, more properly speaking, they
would have exactly one-hali the votes.
Il numbe" insufficient to carry measures
without the casting vote Of the vice
crat; or without the votes Of alliance
members, who are not ut all likely in any
possible %conting. ncy to vote with the
republicans. II an alliance man should
be elected IN Nebraska. IL democrat i'll
New York. and IL democrat III Montana.
the votc in the senate would stand
iorty-fuur republicans, f%orty-one demo.
Gratis and three alliance.
Tie figures are close enough to make
matters highly interesting during The

that the republican party will make
