Watson went down to Washington to a meeting of the Republican national committee carrying with him the proxy of the Mississippi member. Thus armed, he attended the sessions of the committee and voted against the plans of his old friend and benefactor James P. Goodrich, the Indiana member of the coni mittee. These exhibitions of unity and brotherly love are exceedingly touching. Those persons who have worried about the cost of a long special session of congress, which ran right into the regular session beginning Dec. Ist will be relieved when they remember that both members and employees of congress are paid by the year. It is only the members and employes who have cause for worry and It should be said that the present congress not withstanding its strenous labor, has done its duty most cheerfully. There were party pledges to be carried out, even if it took all summer, and will lake all this winter and next spring and summer. In 1880 Franklin Landers. that grand old Democrat, was Hie candidate of his party for Governor of Indi ana. The political tide, however, flowed the other way that year and he was defeated by Albert G. Porter. I But now Franklin Landers Bridges, a grandson, has been appointed Adju tant General of the National Guard by Governor Ralston.

g CANTATA A SUCCESS. M The sacred cantata, “The Court of $ the Christmas Tree," rendered by the ® choir and fifteen persons Sunday evening at the Evangelical church was a fine success. The different parts n were artistically brought out by the members of the cantata, the songs always keeping in harmony with the text of each reader. The climax came when the story of Christ was beautifully related i'i words, thus winning the good will and heart of the king, and was therefore crown queen in a royal manner. The court of the king as well as the Christinas trees were beautifully and timely decorated. The church was filled to its utmost capacity, quite a few not being able to find standing room. With the short program, fine collection and “gifts" for the needy in the morning, it was, indeed, a good day. —o RECEIVE CHRISTMAS PRESENT.
