AFFECTED CHRISTMAS CHEER.

Probably ninety-nine out of hum
| dred of us poor mortalS affect Christ
mas cheer. We would disregard
Christmas entirely ourselves. if it We're
not for the tremendous motive of pub
lie opinion and public habit which i'm
pels us 10 things despite ourselves. So,
in regard 10 Christmas we usually find
ourselves insensible 10 Christmas in
fluences on December 1: still indiffer-
ent on December 16; and just a bit
elated on December "a; and on the
great day fully in sympathy with the
purpose and the festivities of the day
itself, which last heighth is not because
of any inherent capacity for the things
ourselves, but because everyone else is
that way.
1t is an old custom rooted deep,
deeper than our stuff devotion on
Thanksgiving day, or our obstreperous
explosions on the Fourth of July. or
our embittered recollections or tender
hopes on st. Valentines day. And SO
most of us celebrate it because the
strong reflected brilliancy of the Gus
do il.
And for that we should not be the
least bit proud. For if we are rich We
should give; and if we are poor we
should at least offer the gift of a kind
word, cheap enough. goodness knows,
but often invaluable in its way. If
we are in power we should be merciful;
and if powerless, at least sympathetic.
For the old world with its mythical
magnanimous and even-handed Santa
Claus. is neither magnanimous nor
even-handed.
Poverty, if not acual starvation, is
around us everywhere. 1.-THE poor you
have always with YOU And on
Christmas day it is the duty. and it
should be the pleasure of every
grumpy, ill-sorted, dyspeptic, choleric
wretch among us, TO brighten the sor-
rows of poverty, without any contain
mating thought as to whether it is de-
served or not, or whether the object OF
our diSpensation is worthy or IN
worthy. OF all days we should not
judge any fellow-being on this.
1t is our day TO be sympathetic and
merciful and if we sin on the side of
mercy and sympathy, we are not 10
blame.
The conventionality OF laws. the
rigor of custom, the discipline of
justice should be forgotten, even If a
relaxation threatens danger. The
vicious criminal behind the bars may
have had conflicts and temptations and !
hardships which we ourselves could |
not have surmounted much less he. |
The bepainted demi-monde, prosecuted |
and scourged by legal discipline. may !
have had passions that were greater |
than any Of those we met and over |
come in the random journey of life
The friend who was harsh and the |
enemy who may be bitter, the sweet |
heart who has been unreasonable and |
unjust. the wife who has been untrue |
are all, for twenty-four hours within |
the sound Of your call Of charity, mercy \
and humanity. II is our privilege TO
call.

TRADE REVIEW.
What Dun Has to Say About the Past Week

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-R. c. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:

Gold continues to go abroad. s)55D,OOj having gone this week and the deficit Of the treasury is al- ready over go, jO0,000 for the month. This state of facts, with the failure of congress to mako provision of borrowing or for increasing revenue, still operates % retard a whoe- sale recovery, and the volume of domestic trade represented by exchanges through clearing houses is again about per cent larger than last year, it was in the first week of the month, but is 33.7 per cent smaller than two years ago, higher rate Of decrease than for some time past, The industries are meeting larger demand for some products since the new year began. but rather less for others and definite improvement appears in prices of man. ufactured products or in wages.

PACIFIC RAILROAD BONDS.
The First Issue of Thirty Years Ago Now
 Being Redeemed by the Government.

The First Issue of Thirty Years Ago Now Being Redeemed by the Government. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. - The first series of the government bonds issued thirty years ago in aid of the Pacific railroads matured yesterday, and the United States treasurer is now engaged in their redemption. They are United States per cent. bonds, issued to the Central Pacific Railroad Co.,, of California, under the acts of July 1, 1862, and July ?, 1864, and are commonly known as currency sixes" They aggregate g., ,ooo, in- cluding accrued interest. They are en- tirely in the hands of 199 corporations and individuals. The secretary of the treasury recently gave public notice that they would be paid on pre- sentation on or after the 10th inst. So far, however, he has been called on only to redeem about S50O,OOO of these bonds. Ac- cording to their terms they are redeem able in lawful money of the United States" and the checks in payment are so drawn. The disbursements on this account will, therefore, not neces- sarily affect the dwindling gold bal ance of the treasury.
 The total amount of Pacific railroad bonds outstanding is 94,623, 900, and of this amount $640,0 fall due in No- vember next, and Ss,000,000 more in January and February, 1896. So far no action has been taken with re- gard to the method of reimbursement from the railroad companies benefited by the sale of these bonds. The attorney-general has been investigat- ing the legal rights of the government in this matter, with view to plan of action for the protection of its in- terests in the case of default on the part of the railroad companies. It is understood that the matter will be sub- mitted to congress for settlement.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach thediseased portion of theear There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness iscaused by an iniiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in1amed you have a arumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiame1 condition of the mucous sur. faces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
