IN BEHALF OF scHLEY.
Resolution Introduced in Congress Ten
 dering Him Thanks.

dering Him Thanks
 Washington, July 5.-Representative Berry of Kentucky, @ member of the house committee on foreign affairs, to- day introduced the following joint res- olution:
 "Jolnt resolution rendering the thanks
 Of congress to Commodore Schley, U.
 s. N., and the officers and men under
 his commands:
 Resolved, That the thanks of con- gress and of the American people are hereby rendered to Commodore Schley, U. s. N., and the officers and men under his command, for their heroic and dis tinguished conduct in destroying the spanish fleet in Cuban waters on the 3d of July last"
 The resolution was referred to the na- val affairs committee. MT, Berry, in speaking of his resolution, said: "I pro- pose that the officer to whom the glory is due shall be recognized. Schley is the real hero of the incident. He and the brave band of officers and men un- der his immediate direction are the ones who achieved the victory, and all honor should be given them. Sampson commands the squadron in those wa ters, but it was Commodore Schley who was in command when Cervera and his squadron made the plucky attempt at escape, and it was under Schley that every one of that Spanish squadron met it's destruction. Schley and his men have performed a notable feat that will go down in history hand in hand with that daring forcing of Manila harbor by Dewey on May 1. Congress should be prompt in recognizing their services and there should be no delay in tender ing it's thanks and those of the country to the real heroes at Santiago"

members of every family have outgrOwn
the Christmas trees, and the question is
sometimes asked, "Is there no new, novel
way we can have our gifts?' SO perhaps
at this time of year little suggestion
might be quite apropos.
Have each one wrap up and mark his
gifts for other members of the family as
carefully as If they were to be sent out
of the house. If put In boxes the disguise
will be SO much the better, then place in
some good hiding place, in some drawer
or underneath a piece of furniture, attach
a string to the package, then wind the
string around through the different rooms
in the most intricate manner possible. On
the other end of the string put a tag bear
ing the name nt the one for whom it is
intended
chandelier is a fine starting place for
all the strings, or cobwebs, for it can be
easily seen that this is nothing more nor
less than cobweb party-an old idea in
new dress, utilized for Christmas gifts.
The strings may be confined to the rooms
on one floor, but, according to the old say
ing, "the more, the merrier," If the strings
are carried to another floor, winding in
and out the balustrade, through grilles,
keyholes. around chairs, pictures, gas fix
lures, posts and door knobs, it is all the
more fun. In fact, the idea may he elab-

places it unopene on the extension table
in the dining room and proceeds to wind

When every string has been wound up

TO open their packages. This is quite as
exciting as winding the strings. Perhaps
one finds that the package he worked the
hardest to get, made the most trips up and
down stars. and wound up the biggest

contains only fve-cent joke, and the rest
may have cause to laugh at him; but he is

about without spend
ing days or weeks IN preparing for pro-
per celebration of holidays. OF all of the
days that attracted unusual attention on
the part Of the Yankee soldiers, Christ
mas stood at the head, however.
With most Of the young fellows Christ
mas, 1861, was their first away from
home. Many of them had hard work to
appear happy as they looked at presents
from dear ones and ate the good thing rs
sent them. But great changes had taken
place before Christmas, 1862. At least
10000 of the Army OF the Potomac had
fallen out of line-dead, wounded or pris-
oners. The track of it's march was red
red from Yorktown to Richmond and from
Richmond to Malvern Hill from Cedar
Mountain to Manassas; South Mountain
to Antietam, and the reddest spot was
Fredericksburg. What gloomy Christ
mas it was for the Northerners They
had, only q few days before, been badly
defeated in their attempt to drive Lee and
the Army of Northern Virginia from the
heights Of Fredericksburg. The people at
home may have started Christmas din
ner to the boys, but it did not reach them.
On Christmas, 1863, the army was shiv-
ering along the Rappahannock and Rapi-
dan, and as far out as Culpeper Court
House. 1t was too cold, and the men
were too poorly housed to enjoy the ~.
Christmas dinners were the order of the
day in 1864. The army was strung along
behind Notifications from Richmond to
below Yellow House, on the Weldon Rail
road, distance of nearly forty miles. The
Sanitary and Christian Commissions had
arranged to supply the army with a
Christmas dinner. Few men were over
looked Except that in 1861, it was the
happiest Christmas for the Yankee army
since the trouble began. There were many
signs that the next Christmas would be
enjoyed at home, and so it was by all who
escaped from the hot times from March 20
to the evening of April 8, after Grant and
Lee had met at Appomattox.
