great CONSERVATION prevailed in Wash

eral Grant that he retain the hold where
he was before Richmond, but that he
should bring a force with him person
ALLY and make a vigorous effort to de-
stroy the enemy's forces in the vicinity
of Washington. However. General Grant,
once learning of the whereabouts of
Early, of which he was so long ignor-
ant, at once grasped the whole situation,
and felt no fear for the safety of Wash
ington and Baltimore. He turned his
attention chiefly to the capture of Early
before he could retreat across the Po-
tomac. He informed the President that
he had sent to Washington a whole
corps (the Sixth. commanded by an ex-
cellent officer General Wrighp, besides
5000 other troops. and one division of
the Nineteenth Corps. These. he
thought, would be able to compete with
Early. Hunter, he said, would join
Wright in the rear OF the enemy, with at
least 10000 men. He was anxious to
cut off Early's retreat and bag him.
This reassured the President, and he
never failed in confidence after that.
Still, Early was in front of Fort Stevens
and adjacent defenses to the north of
Washington, and the Sixth Corps had not
yet arrived, and a good many agreed
with Halleck. when he informed Grant
that what he said with respect to get

Denver, COL, Dec. 22.-The blizzard
that has ragged in eastern Colorado
and Wyoming and western Kansas
and Nebraska was the most serious
in years to the railroads as far as the
interruption of traffic is concerned.
All trains on the Union Pacific and
Burlington roads were delayed at
least "a hours. This is true of trains
over the Kansas Pacific branch Of
the Union Pacific. Along this line
snow drifts from six to ten feet deep
made the movement of trains impos-
sible until the tracks could be cleared.
Perhaps the storm was most severe
on the Denver & Alliance branch Of
the Burlington. This line. runs to
the Black Hills and trains which left
Denver on Friday were only released
from their wedged position in the
drift yesterday. One train which was
completely hidden from sight by the
snow was relieved by snow plows
from Alliance, Neb. A supply train
was run from Mercer, Neb., with fuel
and provisions to provide for the
needs Of the imprisoned passengers.
1t required the hardest work imagin-
able to reach the stalled train
through the binding storm and al
most impenetrable drifts.

Chancellor Frank Strong, Of the

satisfaction in the clean work OF the

But there ls q better thing than the
observance Of Christmas day, and that
Is, keeping Christmas.

have done for other people and to
remember what other people have
done for you; to ignore what the

the middle distance and your chances
to do a little more than your duty In
the foreground; to see that your fel.
low men are just as real as you are,
and try to look behind their faces to

that probably the only good reason
for your existence is not what you are
