young guard, armed with halberd,
marches beside the holy ikon, and be-
hind him trudges another boy carry
ing a small theater on his back. At
each farmhouse they halt and ask per-
mission to give a performance, which
is usually very simple. A few pup
pets, representing the three kings, are
shown; and some couplets are sung
about the nativity. After the specta-
Gle and songs, the little artists take up
a collection.
In some sections of the Ukraine, the
procession of children is less sacred in
character. a few boys disguise them
selves as animals, and, held in leash
by their companions, they go from
farmhouse to farmhouse, giving gro
tesque entertainments. The stork and
the bear are the creatures principally
portrayed, and they sometimes sing
comical couplets together. The great
wooden doors of each house are thrown
open, and the whole family assemblies
in gala costumes upon the threshold.
Choosing Their Betrothed.
Another and a curious Christmas
night custom in Russia is the choosing
of the fiancee, which might, one would
think, now and then lead to some seri
Gus misadventures. On Christmas eve
tie gift tree is set up in the house of
the chief official of the neighborhood,
and all worthy persons in the village
are invited. At a given time all the
unmarried women leave the festivities
and go and take their seats on benches
in a she'd There their faces, arms
and shoulders are swathed in linen, so
as pretty effectually to conceal their
identity, and after time young peas
ants are admitted one by one in
search for their girls. Each is be-
trothed to the girl from whose brow
he lifts the veil, and the engagement
cannot be broken without the payment
by both lovers of heavy fine to the
village funds.
But so adroit are the maidens in CIV
ing some sign Of identity to their
SWANS that the fines are rarely levied.

displayed by the various parishes in
the decoration OF their chapels and
affairs is very great. At Naples there
is one long street in which nearly
every shop is devoted to the manu-
Iacture or sale of holy images, and The
greater part of these are for the Christ

The Midnight Mass.
The midnight mass, as it is cele-
brated in most Catholic countries in
Europe, is one of the most beautiful
and touching Of so,omnities. In the
great cities, like Paris and Brussels
and Vienna, it is accompanied by the
most splendid music and by rich dec

the churches. At ST. Roch, in Paris
chapel is fitted UP in imitation of
the manager in Bethlehem, and is Wis
tied by hundreds of thousands. The
carols are sung by princes and prin-
cesses of the operate stage; the mid
night sermon is preached by one of the
most celebrated of preachers. The
singing is so fine that people often
wait many hours, standing crowded in

CONGRESSIONAL NEWS,

Washington, D. c., Dec. 14.-EX-
Speaker Grow rep, Pa made a speech
IN the house on the portion OF the pres
ldents message referring to the tariff,
IN which he compared the old protec-
tive tariff laws with the new customs
laws. An emphatic statement by Mr..
Grow that the greenbacks would not
be retired was received with demon
STATIONS Of approval by the republi-
cans. The presidents complaint that
the greenbacks furnished an endless
depleted was not frank. The green
backs would endanger the reserve as
long as the revenues were not equal to
the expenses and no longer. Paying
the current debts of the government
out Of the reserve was the road 10 ma
tiOnal bankruptcy. Mr.. Grow referred
10 the elections last fall as a condem-
nation OF the new tariff law and the
policy OF the administration, and
warned the president when he had
leisure to attend to public affairs" not
to disregard the new command of the
people
MI. Adams Tep., Pa objected to a

eral Wilson a regent of the Smithsou-
ian institute.

In the humble and piOus Breton vii
lagos, also, the midnight mass is at
tended by the faithful The peasants
come trudging over the snowy roads,
and clatter in their wooden shoes into
the porch of the blackened and dilapi-
dated old church. Each leaves his
lantern and his wraps with the old
crone at the portal, then pushes for
ward to the nave, where he leaves his
sabots and betakes himself to prayer.
A few old-fashioned carols are sung,
a lively allocution is delivered by the
country cure; and by and by, in the
gray of the morning, the groups Of men
and women, in their broad hats and
long black coats, go straying home to-
gether.
In France Long Ago.
In the middle ages in France it was
the custom for the burghers OF one
town to go in procession on the eve
before Christmas to visit the neighbors
in some adjacent burg, and to repre-
sent before them a rude mystery play
of the Nativity. They went in process
sion playing upon rebeck, viol, tabor
and flute, and sometimes displayed
much pomp in those parades, all of
which were in honor, as their old
carols say, Of Jesus, the flower of
life"
1t would sorely puzzle the average
child Of the United States if he had to
spend Christmas in far-off Australia.
Instead of snow, ice and chilly blasts,
the Australians have weather much
like we have on the fourth of July.
Christmas there means a great open
air picnic, celebrated in groves of euca-
lyptus trees and surrounded by bios
soming flowers. Aside from the
weather, Christmastide is observed by
the Australian the same as in the
mother country, topped off by fine
dinner of fat goose and plum pudding

Washington, Dec. 18.-The house
passed unanimously a bill authorizing
the president to appoint a Venezuelan
commission and appropriating 100000
for expenses.
Nh. Boutelle rep, Me) opposed the
bill. He prefaced his remarks by the
statement that he disliked to object to
the consideration Of such a bill. But -
said he, 1T seems that this subject is
one Of such serious Importance that the
house of representatives should proceed
in docOrOus manner to consider it.
The presidents message was read but
yesterday, and it seems to me that the
gentlemen may not be ready to pass
on matter of this Importance without
deiberation."
Mr.. Hit and Mr.. Crisp spoke for the
bill. The latter said: Il speak for all
this side Of the house, where there is
no division as TO the propriety of pass
ing the bill. The house respectfully
