SATURDAY EVENING. De :. 90, 1886

There are few leaks at the State De-
nsrtment. but still it is reasonably IN
ferred from occasional remarks MADE
there that the pecuniarv condition OF
the country is too straitered now 10
warrant any jingoism, and that II ven
ezuela is not satisfied, she Will De let
alone, and that the Armenian and Gu
ban insurgents will, so far "a this coun~
try is concerned, have to submit TO
their legitimate rulers.
Christmas was more generally OBJ
served here yesterday than at any pre-
yious time since 1861, when Washing
ton was a Southern city. All the fir-
oinia members of the House went home,
but both the Senators from that State
remained here, where Mr.. Daniels
children are at school, and where Mr..
Martin is keeping house.
Nothing is doing in the stock market
here day, as the New York stock
board is closed. Those interested in
that market are by no means hopeful,
and instead of expecting an improve
ment, are fearful of a prolonged de-
preston. As an indication OF the slump
in railroad business consequent upon
the existing hard times, it is said at
the Pennsylvania depots here that
freight was never before in less quantl'
ty than now.
To those who have any real interest
in the welfare of the country and are
wise enough to know what will be con-
ducive to it, the decadence OF the I'LL
buster spirit in Congress is particularly
gratifying. Neither honor nor profit
could have been gained by war in be-
half of negro and scalawag bandits in
Cuba, and for the credit of the whole
country it is we'll that all danger OF
such war has been dissipated.

ment, but will maintain a close watch

ments in the island.

The Queens Christmas Presents.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The Queen has
received her usual Christmas present of
g boars head from her grandson, the
German Emperor. His Majesty also

cakes and CONNECTIONS. The Duke of
Edinburgh has sent to his mother q
number of cases of wine and sweet
meats. The Queen, although now prac-
tically a total abstainer from intoxi
eating drinks, takes glass of kind of
rare Tokay wine on special occasions,
such as Christmas.

TIE ADVOCATES of Mr.. Penrose, the
leading candidate for o. S. Senator from
Pennsylvania, in place of Mr.. Cameron,
who is bimetallist, place their chief
reliance for his success upon the
fact that he has the support OF
the A. P. AS. That such is the
case is not at all indicative of
the permnance of free institutions;
but if the organized moneyed interests
of the country can secure the election
of President, it certainly isn't worth
while to complain if certain organized
labor associations attempt to secure the
election OF U. S. Senators.

The FACT that Colonel Richard NJ.
Johnston says ''there is no new South"
shows that he either knows little of the
old, or has shut his eyes to the modern
South for, sad as it is, to those who re
member what the South was before the
war between the States, nothing is plain
er to them than the great and deplor-
able change that has taken place since
then, not only in the condition, but in
the character, of the people of the South;
that in the former is glaringly conspicu-
Gus every where, and that in the latter
is so radical that if the dead fathers Of
the present generation could revisit the
glimpses of the moon they wouldn't be
able to recognize their own progeny, or
if they were, would be so ashamed OF
them that<they would refuse to do SO.

ARRESTED FOR STEALING.

Archie Moore, the barber, is in jail for
appropriating to his own use some of
the furnishings of Mrs Nj. E. Haven's
room in the Republican block during the
Avenue House fire, Mrs. Haven being
out of town the fire wardens entered her
room, but concluded to leave the things
undisturbed till it should become neces-
sary to remove them. At late hour
Moore was seen carrying some of the
goods out of the building, and a further
investigation disclosed the fact that the
room was empty. Although questioned
closely, Moore denied all knowledge of
the affair. but Fire Warden Byron and
sheriff Sulloway succeeded in finding the
articles in his home on Pearl street.
ne was committed to Jail in default of
$500 bail and is now awaiting trial.

CHORAL UNION CONCERT.

The St. Johnsbury Choral Union mad
its first appearance in concert Tuesday
evening in Music Hall. The chorus mum
bers 160 voices and their work showed
what careful and systematic training by
skllful leader could do. The chorus Sc
lections were well rendered particularly
in time and expression. The solo work
OF Miss Isabel S. Graham Of Brooklyn
and Charles w. Swain of Boston added
much to the evenings programme, and
each responded to an encore. Mr. Swain
is a stranger to st. Johnsbury and will
be sure Of n cordial reception in the fu-
ture. Miss Graham sang at a former
festival concert and many were glad Of
this opportunity to hear her rich voice
again.
The North Church Ladies quartette,
and the Imperial male quartette each
rendered their selections in manner
well worthy Of the encores they received.
The instrumental music gave pleas
ing variety to the programme-the
spirited duet for piano by Miss Gorham
and Mrs. Stanley, and the solo by Miss
Carrie Eaton, OF Lyndon, being finely
executed. Miss Eaton responded to a
recall and her second selection was played
without notes. Miss Gorham also pre-
sided at the organ in the chorus selection,
Evening Hymn"
The accompanlst at such time is in
the background, but like that OF a pic
ture, the whole concert would have been
OF much less merit without it. Mr.. Har-
ris is deserving OF much praise for his
part so well performed.
AS this is but the forerunner of more
concerts in the spring we shall
await the next appearance of the Union
with much anticipation Prof. Blaisdell
has shown the bud of the plant he is de-
vtloplng, The perfect blossom will come
later and receive warm welcome.
