CHIUSTMAB EVE.

•''Tls thou that crown'st my glittering hearth with guiltless mirth." We. will apostrophize the gentle rpirit of Christmas with this verse from ilerrick. If there be one day lien we can without reproach be recklessly merry, pardonably extravagant and thoroughly unselfish, it. is to-morrow. The jovial little saint with twinkling eyes and beaming face, whose team and sledge will gallop madly thro' your childrens' dreams tonight, whisks from his besom drops that intoxicate even staid middle-age, which joins in the frolic crying when nonsense is wisdom 'tis folly to be wise." "Who is this benet'icient spirit that bancs on even religion's skirt with laughter, and makes a joyous feast of Christianity's birthday? Hail, Santa Claus, the apotheosis of all our amiable weaknesses, our love for children, our prosperity, hospitality and sociability! Odin and T'tor, Mars and Hercules were the expression of man's ideals of bravery and strength, but this latter-day saint was born of kindness, love and generosity. Men and women, careless, penurious or selfish the year round throw rudence to the winds and worship hi at Christmas time, whilst the chi'! en devotedly, wildly adore him al :he year round. "Hut is old, old, goo: "Id hristmas goneNothing but the hair of his good gray old head and .,rd left?" Much of the riot, joviality and hearty abandon of the old English day departed with the huge fire-places that held the Yule-logs, and with the coarser or more childish tastes of the early days. The piles of holly, laurel and ivy that decked the old halls concealed dingy, ••old walls from eyes longing for the verdure of spring. The dainty homes and elaborate rooms of modern gentility are not the places for Christmas games and wassail. We sit and smile where our ancestors romped ami shouted. We retain the spirit, however, which saiil: "At Christmas be merry and thankful withal.

And feast thv poor neighbors, the great with the small." Modern times were losing the form and spirit too, when a kindly heart and skillful hand drew a charming picture of the old-fashioned English holiday. The view, framed in a rural landscape, showed Mr. l'ickwick, his friends, hampers of game, barrels of oysters and a big codfish descending upon the hearty 'Squire Wardle at Dingley Dell. Yi.u remember the fat boy sleeping on the oyster keg bolting mince pies on all occasions and in every corner: the bountiful tables, the steaming jorums, the toasts,storiesand songs, the country dance, the games the mistletoe bough when all the girls kissed dear Mr. Pickwick, and Sam AVeller kissed all the maids mere eating and drinking than we could endure. but withal a whole-souled hospitality and unrestrained merriment that makes us sigh enviously. Through all shone the kindly heart of Mr. Pickwick, whose universal benevolence made him shine an angel in knee-breeches and drab gaiters, and enabled him to forget Widow Bard ell. The pleasures of Dinglev Del! and the well kept Christmas followed the Pickwickians through life.

While it may appear that the present holiday customs are part of a great scheme to enrich retailers and artificers. and that Christmas cards and knick-knack* stare us in the face until we are sick of them, really between us confidentially, busy people, have only been puppets in thefur-mittenedhands of Santa Claus. He pulled the strings to set them going to fill your stockings to-night. We wish them full, full, and vou "A Merry Christmas.''

Why a Pastor Didn't Want His Salary Bailed. Abilene (Kan.) Gazette.

We heard a pastor of one of our most prominent chnrcbas, the other day, decline an addition of 9100 to his salary, for this reason, among others, that the hardest part of hts labors heretofore had been to collect his salary, and It would kill him to try to collect 8100 more.

Ye.-, and you are the same individual who made this concentration necessary by threatening to invade Washington with 50,000 unarmed men and unsobered Kentuckians, when you knew that the calaboose capacity of the city was limited. Who was the traitor then—Wattersonat the head of a Kentucky jamboree 50,000 strong, or Sherman at his proper place at the head of the armv? Go to.

In the discussion of the metripolitan police system, by which the Democrats propose to soon govern Indianaplis, provided the general assembly ^ives permission so to do, there have been numerous inquiries as to who has the election of the police commissioners. One who has examined the bill that is to be introduced says it stipulates that the commissioners are to be first elected for four, six and eight years by the legislature, and vacancies occuring after the system begins to operate to be filled by the governor. The originators of the plan count on carrying the state two years hence, and by this means it is hoped to keep the system within the control of the Democraticparty. Although they insist upon denying the present governor a voice in the matter, they continue to loudly proclaim that the system is to be absolutely free of politics. The bill, in addition to the many radica' changes it is mended to cause, creates the office of police judge. Those who have studied tfie question from an unprejudiced standpoint predict strong opposition to ihe measure from unexpected quarters

Beauregard's Coach at Shilob. Col. B. F. Sawyer, of Atlanta, writing of his war experience in the Philadelphia Times, says: At unrise we were prdered to move forward. We had not proceeded far before the roll of musketry in front told the work of death had begun. Ascending a little slope we encountered General Beauregard and his staff. The General had a magnificent coach and four—a la Napoleon—drawn out on the hillside. Our color company, called the yellow jackets, from the yellow stripes with which they had. decorated their uniforms, as gallant a company as ever forced a battery, commanded by Ca^t. Dewberry, encpuntered the General's coach.

Capt. Dewberry was a good fighter, as brave as men are ever made, but he had a supreme contempt for the finesse drill, and the unexpected obstruction, stretching the full front of bis company, filled him with perplexity. Had it been a four-gun battery instead of a four-horse coach confronting him and his gallant yellow-jackets, lie would have been at no loss for action, but that gaudy coach, with its caparisoned team, flanked, too, by the general and his staff in all tlio glory of gold lace and feathers, stretching broadside across his front, was more than his "tactics" had ever provided for. Without knowing' whither or how to flank itf he'marched his' company squarely against it, when performthe men halted and -looked around in confusion. The regiment was aligning upon the colors, and of course the sudden halt of company confused tinentire lino. "Move forward, Capt. Dewberry.'' thundered Col. Blytlie, mortified at the ignoble confusion of his line under the very eye of Gen. Beauregard. But how was Capt. Dewberry tD move forward with that formidable obstruction piled high before him? At length, wrought up to any agony of perplexity, he turned to one of the tinsel bedecked aid-de-camps and roared out: "Take that damned old stage out o' the way or I'll make tho boys tumble it down the hill." age ,-ely way out of the dilemma and commenced passing the obstruction by the right and left flank, the captain not me time thinking how the movement was to be executed.

Luckily for the old stage the yellow jackets had instinctively found the

The Nightingale's Last Bong. Hartford TlmeB. During the last eight years Mrs. Bennett, of Caanan, in this state, lias owned a beautiful Virginia nightingale. She named it Bob, and when in an adjoining room she said "Bob, do you want a fly?" the bird would ruffle its feathers and respond with a whistle, or some little note, manifesting his delight, which his mistress understood. Last August Bob had a fit. He rolled over on his back and stuck up his legs. His mistress was alarmed. She soaked his leet in warm water, gave him pep-per-eorr sand little aconite pills. He revived a little, sitting upon his perch solemnly and stupidly. His pluu:age was not as smooth as formerly. His sweet notes no longer charmed the household. Not a note escaped his throat for three months. Old age had mastered Bob, and pep-per-corns could not rouse him to the singing pitch. But one day in November, after three months of sickness and silence, Bob suddenly broke out in full toue, and he sang his old notes over again. Mrs. Bennett says in his best estate the bird never sung more sweetly nor cheerily. Full, musical and lively was every note, and she was delighted at what appeared to be a complete recovery of her pet bird. But the moment ho had finished the last of his round of notes beautifully and sweetly, Bob turned over upon his back and died.

A Dog That Actually Crows. Tennessee Sentinel. We learn from Sheriff Joe S. Hobbs that Mr. William Bruce, of Coflee's Creek, has a dog that croflyj like a rooster. Some two years ago the dog began to practice this art, just as he heard the roosters, and even* morning as regular as could be kept up the practice, until now he is an expert erower. He goes through all the motions of a rooster, raising his head and bringing it lower down as he completes his crow. The truth of this statement is vouched for bv Rev. Mr. McQueen. Mr. Haslit, Mr. feruce and several other responsible gentlemen.

Henry Ward Beecher. His testimonywas striking in every respect, but if he had taken less pains to hide his profession of .minister of the gospel bene.at.h the air, views and expressions of a man of the world, he would have been more of a credit to his cloth. The most suggestive remark he made was "I don't know much about flocks. 1 never bought any except 011 two occasions. Then I bought Panama at $400 and sold it at S100.

"Were you to take a glance at the books of any broker of standing you Avould be surprised to see the number of clerical customers they had. The gambling mania is as fierce among them as it is in the hearts of the poor devils who investtheir pennies in policy, and it is all the more intense because they are compelled to wear a mask. One of the fraternity, Rev. Dr. Tyng,did so well at it, that he gave up preachingthegospelandstudying the Bible, to read the tape and worship at what the old time ministers called the altar of Mammon.

on the stock exchange. Another poor fellow whom 1 knew very well fared very badly. He was a very fine man and it really made me feel bad to see him enter the whirlpool from which so few escape sound in limb and body. He was the pastor of a small but very rich congregation, a fine speaker and a gentleman. The community of which 1 was a member provided him with a cosy house, and as they paid him a good salary he could live not alone in ease and comfort, but in decidedly more luxury than St. Paul would ever have dreamed of. Well he grew dissatisfied. Perhape he was too well off. He wanted to become rich. "One evening when I called on him he broached me on the subject of trying his hand on stock gambling. I did all I could to dissuade him, but seeing that he was bent on it, I thought that sooner than let him get into the hands of people he did not know I would conduct his operations for him. I did so, and as I operated carefully I made some money for him. But that wa6 i\ot enough for him. He took bigger riSKS. Uilc vlaj^ I inst KIu llio ulUoo of a broker who was a daring speculator himself worked 011 very close margins for his customers. Well, to make a. long story short,_ he became so interested in the fluctuations of the market that he neglected his work, prepared hfs sermons in very slovenly style, and was absent minded and fretful. One fine day, a certain stock which had been systematically depressed by a certain clique went up with a bound, and as my friend was heavily short of it he went up with it, high and dry in fact. He not only lost his own but owed his broker a large sum. What did he do? Why, he skipped the town, as they say." Poor man, I suppose he's teaching school in some wilderness out West."

As I am speaking of stocks just now, I am reminded of the fact I learned a few days ago that Oscar Wilde has been investing some of the profits of his lecturing tour in Keelev Motor stock. How very appropriate. A case of Greek meeting Greek but without the tug of war.

Next week Mr. William II. Vanderbilt gives his first reception this season, and a great gathering of nickelplated aristocracy and Bohemia it will be. Strange, that with all his wealth, all liis patronage of art, all his fondness for sport he cannot induce the real aristocracy of social life, letters or even sport to" fill his gorgeous establishment in Fifth avenue. The old Knickerbocker families would as soon think of visiting a_ German picnic as a Vanderbilt reception. To them Vanderbilt with all his millions is but nickel-plated. Drop the faintest touch of acid on the surface and you will find the common "nature of the parvenu underneath. In view of this one is tempted to ask, is it worth one's wljile to have the riches of this man? Perhaps he does not enjoy them all. Like all Croesuses and millionaires he has his own troubles. He is a constant sufferer from the disease which killed his father and grandfather. Jay Gould is afflicted not alone with dyspepsia, but he is also subject to fits of nervous prostration. Russell Sage is constantly using medicine for one or the other ailment. Rufus Hatch has to spend many months of the year away from all work on account of his nerves, and James R. Keene is a confirmed victim of liver complaint.

BREACH OF PEOMISE.

A Comical Legal Case in Edinburgh, Scotland. A late Edinburgh paper says: Yesterday Sheriff Rutherford was engaged heating proof in the action concluding for £250 damages for breach of promise of marriage. The pursuer in action is .Mrs. Jan# Scott, or Thomson, or Wilson, a widow residing at No. 7 Arthur street, Pilrig. Pursuer, in giying her evidence, stated that she became acquained with defender iu May last and after sevoral visits he proposed marriage to her. At first she did not accept him, but ultimately agreed. A marriage contract was prepared and signed on July 10, the marriage being fixed for July 27. After the contract was signed she lived at defender's house. He put her out of the house, and for some time afterward she was confined to bed. She had suffered considerable by defender breaking off the marriage, and had incurred expenditure in removing from her house to his and then to another. He retained some of the articles when he left. Defender stated in the course of his examination that he was a widower and about sixty-five years of age.

Pursuer lett his house on her agent's instruction. Are you willing that the marriage should go on yet? That1* a

different question. [Laughter.] Ha had a pension of Hire. Adams (witness) stated that pursuer told her that she would not marry defender, as. he had disappointed her. She would take £200 from him. A mkn named Henderson stated that pursuer wentto his ahop about May and asked if he knew 01 any one whom he could introduce to her for a husband. [Laughter.] He thought it was a joke, and told her to come back soon. She did so, and asked witness if he knew Mr. Sanford. He said he did, and that Mr. Sandford was a respectable gentleman, although not likely to marrrher, as his wife nad died recently. Mrs. Grieve, green grocer, stated* that in answer to an inquiry she told pursuer that Mr. Sandford had furnished rooms to let. Pursuer called on Mr. Sandford, and came back and told witness she would get him for a husband. [Laughter.] Several witnesses were examined, who gave evidence as to pursuer telling them she was to be married to defender, and afterward that she should not marry him, alhough he had his weight in gold. Further hearing was adjourned.

FOOLING WITH THE GIRL.

Mr. Brandt, her attorney, rested his case on her testimony alone, although he had half a dozen other material witnesses in court, among them Mr. and Mrs. Calkins, who, it is understood, credit Miss McCarthy with a character and reputation above reproach in every way. The jury went out without argument or speech, and, to the surprise of every one, remained out for an hour, at the end of which they came into court with a verdict for the plaintiff, fixing her damages at $7,000.

One of the jourymen informed a reporter that none of the jury. doubted the witnesses' story, and five of them voted to give her $30,000 damages. The verdict had hardly been read when counselor A. S. Trude came into court with vast splotches of mud on his overcoat and moved for a new trial in the case. He was going to explain how the case came to be neglected, but the judge told him to put it off until the motion was to be argued. To a reporter he explained that he had been Dr. Hunter's attorney in the case for several weeks, and had an explicit understanding with Mr. Brandt that the case was not to be tried until saw him.

Rare Discipline.

On Wednesday a cloud of smoke issuing from a public school building in New York caused an alarm of fire. \n assistant teacher notified the principal, who rang afire alarm bell which sounded three signals simultaneously in each of the nine class rooms of the school. In less than a minute the 470 children were in line awl marching with military regularity down stairs to the street, four classes- going out by the main entrance and five by the side exits. Spectators said the dicipline of the children was admirable. They were cool, and not a single one was hurt When the fire companies arrived all the children were on the sidewalk. The alarm was caused by a burning flue. After the excitement had subsided the children were recalled and resumed their studies. So much for presence of mind and discipline.

No Uec to Hurry.

Detroit Free Press. I bad often rend of the slow speed made by southern railroad trains, but noticed nothing unusual .until reaching Macon. The|Vrain pulled out at fifteen miles an hour, slowed down to twelve, and the waits were long and tedious. Some of the crowd didn't «eem to care if we never got there, but the drummer for a Philadelphia house took on terribly, He was blasting away when the conductor tame along and Inquired what ailed him. "Why, I'll be left!" hotly exclaimed the drummer. "Let's see? Xpu go to Thomasviiie?" "Yes, sir." "You change cars at Smithville?" "1 ought to, but the train will be gone." "Not a bit of it. That train Is always two hours behind time." "Well, I'd rather waltin Smithville." "You e'ouldn't wait in that town two hours without being asked to drink some of the worst whisky ever made and if you refused you'd have to fight." "I eould go to the hotel." "Then vou'd have to walk mile in the sand. N'o 'bus comes down until our train whistles." "I might drum up a customer. "You couldn't drum nothing. The last Northern drummer in Bmlthvllle had to fly for his life." "Couldn't I wait on the platform." "No, sir. There is no platform to wait on, and if there was, you'd be suspected of wanting to start a turpentine Are.'' "Well, it's awful slow." "What of It? The other train is still slower no dinner can be had until wc gel there, there is nothing to see the depot won't be open, you can't get on to Thomasviiie no ono in the town plays poker you can't get a decent cigar there, and from what I know of Smlthvllle I can assure you that it ha3 at least thirty citizens who would take a pop at you on general principles within six minutes of your landing there."

Soon after our speed was reduced to ten miles an hour, but the drummer bad nothing more to say.

WRONG

Verdict for Damages Against an X(»d Physician of Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—A verdict of $7, 000 was rendered to-day in Judge Gary's court-room against Dr. Hunter, a reputable and wealthy octogenarian physician of this city, in favor of~Honora McCarthy, twenty-eight years of age. The verdict was in the suit of Honora McCarthy against Dr. Robert Hunter, for $30,000 damages, for an alleged forcible debauchery of the plaintiff on January 5, 1S82, in his office, on State 6treet. The only witness examined was the plaintiff herself, who is a large framed and rather coarse featured woman, twenty-eight years old. She was sworn, and testified that she was an unmarried woman and a servant girl, and that for nearly three years, and until a few months ago, she had lived in the family of Mr. A. C. Calkins, the insurance man, at 3347 Forest avenue. In December, 1881, Dr. Hunter was attending Mr. Calkins' daughter for disease of the throat, of which she died the next month. Miss McCarthy was suffering with throat disease at the same time, and during one of the doctor's visits she had him examine her throat also. He said she had a very bad throat, and insisted that she should come to his office to be treated for it. Subsequently she paid four visits to his office on December 8,16 and 30, and on January 5. On these occasions he made examinations ot a private character. It was claimed that a criminal assault was committed on the last of these occasions and was effected by a singular combination of fraud and force.

BEATING THE INSANE.

Proof Positive.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Police Sergeant Alfred S. Battersby, of Brooklyn, in consequence of a brain trouble resulting from wounds received in the civil war, was, on Thursday last, taken to the Flatbush insane asylum. When his wife called at the asylum Saturday, she found her husband in bed in a cold room with but little covering. When she entered lie threw up his hands and screamed, "Oh, please don't beat me," evidently thinking it was one of the asylum officials. Mrs. Battersby took her husband home, where he died and was buried to-day. A committee of Mansfield Post No. 35, G. A. R., of which deceased was a member, lias been investigating the matter, and Dr. Sweeney, one of the members, reports that he has found upon the body about twenty-five bruises, cuts and abrasions, some of which were very serious. An effort is to be made to have the asylum officials indicted.
