A timely article appears in the Febru-
airy number of the Forum on the use of
efficient measures 10 prevent The coming
Of cholera. In this Sir Spencer Wells
reviews the course of this disease since
IFS first appearance In lSl and dnc-
quivocnlly declares that the germ Of
cholera is living poison which gcncr-
ates with the greatest rupidity and
finds its favorable breathing place In i'm.
pure wafer Unless the sources of wa
ter supply In towns are absolutely pure,
there IS no assurance against the disease.
The only safety IN those cases is TO boil
all drinking water fully Eve minutes,
for cisterns and filters easily become
The hiding places Of the bacilli.
This learned writer insists that germ
diseases ought not TO be looked upon as
providendol or unavoidable. but the peo-
pie should know that their existence Is
the result Of ignorance or negligence ON
the rart Of those who are responsible for
favoring conditions. They should be
protected against the seeds OF disease
and require the state aud national gov.

restrictions, which need not interfere
with social and commercial intercourse
between healthy places but which should
insist on inspection Of all arrivals from

conclusive manner that burial does not
destroy the life Of disease germs. and
that the earth IA not the sure purifier

most reasonably urges the cremation Of

A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

There sang twelve sparrows on the wall
At eyen-fall at even fall,
When gloomed apace the village doors
Between the silent sycamores,
They heard sound from mystic shores
And sang their song for gladness' sake
The birds of God were all awake.
There lowed twelve oxen at the bin
Behind the inn, behind the inn,
Along the dark, across the lea,
They knew sign no man could see.
There was wonder soon to be;
o, eecret of the sons of Sheml
Who told the beasts OF Bethlehem
There flew twelve angels, clothed in
light,
At middle night, at middle night;
With countless peers et kindred wing
They called as distant bugles ring,
ssBehold the cradle of the Kingl
The Son of Heaven, the Prince of earth
Becomes babe of human birth!''
There Knelt twelve shepherds at thy
head,
O, manger- bed, o, ma ger-beI;
They watched within thy stony shrine
The miracle of Life divine,
And reverent saw around Him shine,
Between the sordid stable bars,
The lustre of the Star of stars.
Chime, all ye bells of Christendom:
THY kingdom come! Thy kingdom
come!D
For every hour warning charm,
For every moon a sweet alarm,
For every gate of Heaven a psalm,
Nor ring note of self or sin
O, twelve o'clock, when Yule comes ini
And JOY shall hail from cline to cline
At Chri tmas time, at Christmas time,
Till every life that walks or wings,
And Death itself saluting sings
The Lord oflords, the King Of kings;
And all the world shall smile again
With peace on earth, good will to menl
Wide Awake.

Business Failures in 1892.

New YORK, Dec. 3O.-The num-
Der of failures occurring in the
United States in the year 1892,
as reported by R. G. Dun & Co..
Mercantile Agency is 1O,344, be~
ing less than than in any year
since 1886, and showing differs
ence in favor of the present year
as compared with 1891, of 2,O29.
The indebtedness of the failures
of the past year was $114.OOO,O 900,
against S1S9,OOO,OOO in 1891. and
nearly similar amount in 1890.
The largely augmented number of
traders and the enormous increase
in transactions in the year render
these figures very significant. Only
one in every one hundred and
thirteen traders in the United
States succumbed in 1892, as
against on Elm every ninetysthree
in 1891, and one in every one hun,
dred and two in 1890. The aver
age liability Of the failures in the
last year was $1,000, being the
lowest average reported since 1878.

Trade Tlourishing.

New YORK, December 20.-The
most prosperous year ever known
in business closes to-day with
strongly favorable indications for
the future. From nearly all points
comes the report that the holiday
trade has been the largest ever
known, and while the wholesale
trade is not unusually active at this
season of fstock-taking, it is now re-
markably large. Settlements
through Clearing Houses outside of
New York in December, were ap-
parently the largest ever made in
any month. exceeding last years
by more than ten per cent. For
the year the volume is also about
ten per cent. larger than last year,
and the largest ever known.
Railroad earnings in December
show an increase of about three
per cent. over last year, and for
the year an increase of about sos
per cent.
Foreign trade has been smaller
than last year in volume of exports;
at New York, $7,SOO,OOO in value
for the past four weeks, and at the
cotton ports about S1O,000,o00
less. But imports at New York
have been $s,OOO,OOO larger, and
this month still shows great excess
of exports. For the year, excess
of merchandise exports has been
not far from $7O,OOO,OOO. with
largest imports and largest total
of exports and imports ever known
in any year.
In iron. the trade is weaker, the
demand for finished produts being
at present light; but steel rails
have been reduced to S29 per ton
and sales of $4,000 tons have fols
lowed. This great industry has
been much affected by the market
for securities. which has been des
pressed for some months by foreign
selling and monetary uncertainties,
so that the companies have been
restricted in purchases OF railroad
supplies.
Bradstreet says Southern mere
chants report the wholesale trade
seasonably quiet, with the prospect
for distribution in 1898 regarded
favorably at New Orleans, Bir-
mingham, Galveston. Memphis
and Richmond. Atlanta dealers
say retailers have small stocks.
Some excitement exists among
Charleston dealers owing to the
new liquor law. The total volume
of general trade at the South is
believed to be in excess Of that for
1891.
Southern. iron furnace stocks are
the lowest for thirteen months,
and are regarded as normal two
weeks supply.

THE STRAIN ETERNAL.

From crystal ether-p!ains is borne
To slumbering earth one silent morn
A glorious strain,
A sweet refrain,
Of "Peacc on earth, goot will to men,"
Through cease.ess course on rapid wings
The dial of days to ages swing.
Fast flying years
Of smiles and tears,
Speed onward toward eternity,
Round earthly sphere heavens echoes still
In sweetest cadence throb and thrill.
Star rrdiance shines,
The song still chimes
To wake hearts sleeping chords to life.
The swaying bells ring, swing and sing
"The Christ is bornl The Christ is Kingp
Let hearts in praise
The strain uprise
messiah reigns! Amen! Amen!r

Railroad Mail Service.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Gen~

first charge accusing Prof. Briggs
with teaching that reason is a
source Of Divine authority, the
vote was to sustain the charge, CO.;
against sustaining the charge, Sc.
On the second charge, which ac.
cused Prof. Briggs with teaching

that the Scri ptures contained errors
Of history and fact, the vote was,

two or three of the ants Briggs
men left the court, and thus re-
trained from voting on the last
three charges.
On the fourth charge, accusing
Prof, Briggs of teaching that Moses
was not the author Of the Penta-
teuch, the vote was, to sustain the
charge, SO; against, r. The vote
on the fifth charge, accusing Prof.
Briggs of teaching that Isaiah did
not write many of the chapters in
the book bearing his name, was. in
favor of sustaining the charge, 40;
against, 20. The vote on the sixth
charge accusing Prof. Briggs of
teaching that sanctitication is pro-
gressive after death, was as fol-
lows: To sustain the charge, 81;
againet, SO.
The case will be appealed to the
General Assembly, which will
meet in Washington early in the
spring. The Assembly will appoint
commission, consisting of fourteen
unprejudiced mbeis, to act on
the appeal.
The friends of Prof. Briggs were
greatly pleased with the result.
They had calculated on a majority
ranging from 4 to 6.
