Miss Laura Henley, who has been teaching at Rockville, is home spending the vacation. A Washington special ay: "The idea of the stalwarts is that the Republican party in the South can lie built up and strengthened through the influence of the country post-masters, if th right men for the positions can only be obtained." We should think that a very sensible' policy. The attempt to build up a Republican party in the Southern States by appointing Bourbon Democrats to office has been proved a failure. Why not try the appointment of Republicans awhile? pmticul&ry "if the right men for the positions can be obtained," As a rule Republicans are appointed to office in tbe Northern States, and it has never beei suggested that the appointment of Democrats north of Mason and Dixon's line would help the Republican party in that locality. The discovery that, it would so help in tbe Southern States was patented by an administration which proposed to "resurrect the old Whig party." Some holiday speculations as to the President's policy come from Washington. Assuming that the deductions result from the close observation, a knowledge of indications, and tbe best average wisdom of this politic? 1 center, the prospect could not be better. The speculations begin by stating that it "will be a practical business Administration, actively controlled by the President himself," and end by saying that "it is known that he will not tolerate any dissen sions on account of factional differences, no matter from whence amanaiod. It is also believed that the Stalwarts amy expect simply a fair but not a partisan treatment." The only thing that even his enemies have found to criticise, s?o far, has been his appointment of tbe Postmaster General, and there are few Republicans who are not glad to see Howe honored by the place. Last Monday afternoon a very sad and what came near being fatal accident ( oenred to Charlie, an adopted son of 'Square Win Harrold, of this city. Charlie was returning to his home in the west part of town after doing an errand for hi3 mother, when, in crossing the rail-road track south of the depot, his right foot caught between . the rail and the plank that floors the platform. The freight that was backing back at the time near, was upon him before he loose his foot, and his right leg was crushed just above the knee. He was carried home by his father, where examination paoved that amputation was necessary. At 6 o'clock the physicians performed the operation with perfect satisfaction., taking the leg off two inches above the knee. At this writing Charlie is resting well and getting along as well as could be expected. Of late the west end has been quite unfortunate. Wm Bailey, Charlie Whitsell, Thos, Goliver are all confined to their rooms from wounds of different kinds. The three boys are in No. 3 of the Public School. The children of Union Bethel, the largest Sunday-school in the world, rectived their Christmas treat. There were forty-five hundred present, and nearly all of them from the families of the poor. For

roanv vears it has been the custom of tho flethel officers to do something on Christmas Day for the ch'ld'en who attend their school, and Christmas has become to the ragged throng the brightest day in theyear. It was formerly the custom to give them a big dinner on Christmas Day in the hall of the chamber of Commerce. It took a tremendous number of turkeys, pies, oranges, etc., to feed such a number of half starved children, but all things, came in without solicitation in quantities greater than were needed. The children carried home what remained. This custom was continued until tho school had grown to such proportions that no hall would hold that great throng; hence the present custom of giving to each pupil a well-filled bag on Christmas Day and garments and shoes where greatly needed throughout the winter. The boys consumed an aggregate of fifteen barrels of oranges, three-fourths a ton of candy, and other things in proportion. The Bethel building was crowded to its utmost capacity by interested spectators of the distribution. The eagernoss to get the bags was so great that it required a strong arm of authority to prevent accidents. fZOQD Roasted COFFEE at 12 cents per pound to ar rive next week, at COLLINS & KARS ELL'S.

The following extract frem a letter written in Cleveland, in reference to the lestmg piece of our martyred President, will be read with interest; "So long a time has elapsed since theobseques that many strangers visiting Cleveland are surprised to leain that a detatehment of U. S. troups are still detailed to watch the vault wherein lie the remains of our honored President Night and day can be heard the measured tramp, tramp of the sentry on duty, and it is intended to continue this watchfulness until the body it deposited in the ground. Through tlae grated door of the vault can be ssen the elegant casket giveu by the Masmic brethren. Covered with beautiful flowers, kept by loving hands, it is still visited daily by hundreds of people, many of whom eagerly seek the cast-off blossoms as mementos. Near the vault is the shelter-house, and on t he other side of the lake the white tent of the soldiers are pitched. At the base of the- hill upon which the monuraeot is to be placed, a glass house is erected, inclosing the funeral-car, still trimmed with immortelles and the trappings of woe. An aged couple, who had been gazing with tear dimmed eyes upon the casket, approach! the guard and asked if they might be permitted to have a few flowers from the coffin. He told told them he conld'not open the vault. They were much dissapointed, and said that they were from the distant South, had always been rebels, but that the death of Garfield had changed their feelings, and that they had journeyed far for the priveege of standing by iiis tomb. Just t hen the ladies who were th change the flowers arrived, and, noticing the disappointed look upon the face of the aged couple, asked if they could do any thing fr them. They replied: 'W crave but a few blossoms to carry away with us!' Tho ladies picked out a few of the choicest of the flowers, twined together prettily, and presented them to the pleading pair, who departed sanly but pleased with the memento, which will always keep green in their hearts the memory of he nobl and beloved Garfield," FEED!

the prime and vigor of manhood, with a future full of honorable promise to himself and his country The high trust wh ich the people had reposed in him was dropped by the palsied hand of death when but a small part of the great work upon which he had entered had been accomplished. But to quote his own memorable words when the saddest of all American tragedies was enacted, nearly seventeen years ago, "God reigns, and the Government at Washington still lives," Tbe mantle which was voted to James A. Garfield by the people falls upon Chester A. Arthur and there" is everv reason to believe that he will worthily wear it. He was almost the unanimous choice of the Chicago convention for Vice President, and his namo contributed to the success of tho Republican ticket in New York. He is a man of broad views, fully informed on all pnblic qnestions, and he enters upon duties determined to discharge them honestly and wonscientiously. The Gt.obe Democrat pledges him its cordial support in every good word and work for the country and for tho Republican party. A large majorty f the people of this country are Republicans in sentiment

and sympathy, and nothing but eternal discord can imperil our triumph at the polls while the choice is between Republicanism and Democracy. The Glokk Democrat has no now declaration of piinciples to announo. It can fairly ask judgement as to the future from the record of the pant. It stands firmly by the platform of the party on all national questions; believes in the equal rights of all men inlaw and politics; a sound currency with an honest-silver dollar for part of it ; a well-miniated tariff, giving protection without encouraging monopoly, and a system of popular education so liberal that ignorance and illiteracy shall be inexcusable. Thes are the main questions upon which the two groat parties are not divided the Democrt's oppose and th Republicans affirm as to each of the propositions we have named. While fully appreciating the magnitude of imt ional imos, tho Or. be Democrat will not be unmindful of the impor tance of questions which otfeot the West. Tn tlie meantime we shall no4, forget that while Republicanism is a help to immigration, immigration is also a help to Republicanism.. The thrifty farmers of the Eastern Stntc who move West in pcrsuit of more land to meet, the necessities of a grow in r fomilv are not BovrHon l)mo' crats; and the industrious fororgn" rs who come here for homes a'd fields will soon lea ru to choose rightly, between the two parties.
