Thk churches are very busy preparing for a proper observance of Christmas. This is in a measure a religious festival, to commemorate an event which was the foundation of the Christian Church of to day. .Suppers and bastare have been the order of the past two weeks and the beginning of next week will usher in the Christmas tree. It is to be hoped the nwms will he large enough to accommodate next Sunday the good little boys and girls who always turn over a new leaf and start into Sunday school just previous to the holidays.

in order to keep them in a separate division. This is done is the face of the experience of a number of the largest institutions of learning in the country which have tried absolute co-education and pronounced it a success. At the close of the four years' course the Harvard girls take exactly the same examination as the boys and then are only given a certificate while the boys receive a diploma. If ever any set of boys needed the refining influence of the opposite sex it is the students of Harvard. The trustees of that institution are short-sighted in many respect*. They need an infusion of new blood.

SATriiDAY, IJKCKMBKR. -'I, 1889.

Senate yesterday engaged in a very exciting debate over the propriety of the United States recognizing officially the new Republic of Brazil. The usual spread eagle oratory was indulged in, for and against* and the matter finally went over without definite action. This morning's dispatches state that the new chief executive of the republic, General da Fonseca, is dying and also that the Portuguese government is anxious to bo rid of Dora Pedro, fearing an uprising of their own people similar to that of Brazil. There is every reason to believe that the cablegrams from Rio Janeiro are under control of the revolutionists and not reliable. Rejort» have made their way to the effect that the country is at present under a military despotism. Taking all these facts into consideration it would seem to be the more sensible way to defer any formal recognition until the permanency of the new republic is more firmly established. It would nou look well to extend onr greetings with a string tied to them.

THK NEWS cannot see any excuse for the prominence that many of our papers are giving to the latest I^ondon scandal. It is of so dreadful a nature that it can only 1)0 hinted at and that so vaguely that the average reader cannot understand what is meant. When the Pall Mall Gazette made those startling disclosures which agitated the whole civilized world, it was done with the purpose of opening the eyes of the people to an evil which was supposed to exist in many cities besides l^ondon, and by this means to effect a great reform. Kyen with this object in view there was a grave question whether the publication of the horrible details of the crime did not do greater harm than good. But this latest scaiidal should be confined to Loudon where it finds congenial soil. Here thrives a degenerate nobility, descended from idle, unprincipled and cor rupt ancestors, living upon ill-gotten and inherited wealth, answerable to no person and no people for their profligate lives. Fortunately the conditions of our country make such a class impossible here and we may, with a clear conscience, leave the Knglish to settle with these criminals according to their own ideas.

AMBER AND AMBERGRIS. Hour and Where Thwe Two Valuable ]Sub*taucen Are Ob(*iurtl. j'AiubergrLs, which is used as a basis

for nearly all standard perfumery, was

first found an unattractive mass floating on the surface of th* «*ea or lodged upon the shore. Il«.u so -m likely a substance ever suggested itself as a perfume is unknown, but it has be«-Ti in use for centuries, and is only in rrrmparatively recent times that its origin has become known. It is noth:. njr more th.m the morbid secretion of the liver of a sick spermaceti whale. It is described as a fatty, waxy substance, disagreeable to sight or touch, but even in its crude state exhaling a pleasant odor. The crade substance is subjected to chemical action to extract the active principle called ambiruie. It was recently reported that a Maine fisherman picked up amass of the substance which nearly filled a barrel and is worth #25,000. This is probably an exaggeration both as to size and price, for the largest piece on record was found on the Windward Islands., weighing 130 pounds. This was sold for about fi.OOO.

Amber was also first found on the shores bf the sea after severe storms. For a time its origin was unknown, but it was early put to use and regarded with a superstitious awe by the ancient Greeks and Romans, its peculiar electrical qualities being noted by them. It is now thought to be the gum of forest trees which perished ages and ages ago, the lands upon which they perished having become the ocean's bed. Amber has no fixed value, the price being regulated wholly by size, quality and other considerations. Drops of amber in which are imbedded insects of those ancient times command fancy prices, while the more common kinds are used for making a certain kind of varnish and even in medicine. The world's supply of the two,, amber and ambergris, does riot wholly depend upon what may be accidentally found. Dredging for amber is now-systematically carried on by regularly organized companies, and all Spermaceti whales killed by whalemen are subjected to a pretty thorough postmortem examination, the find of ambergris in the monster's interior often being vastly more valuable than the oil extracted from his blubber overcoat.— Lewis town .Journal.

interesting Things Discovered lu tli« Course or Kcfcnt Kxca vat Ions. In the course of some excavations at Rome for some new law courts, which are "to be erected, two sarcophagi have been discovered. One of them proved to be of great interest. In it. was the skeleton of a girl, and around her were her ornaments, pieces of the linen which had wrapped her, falling rapidly to dust, broken myrtle leaves brown with time, evidently the wreath with which she had been crowned in death, the myrtle emblematic of her youth. On the bonea of the fingers were four rings, one of these the double betrothal ring of plain gold, another with the name of tho betrothed, "Filetus," engraved on it. A large and most exquisite amethyst brooch In Etruscan letting of the finest, carved anther pins and a gold necklet with white small pendants were lying about. But- what is most strange, as being almost unique, a doll of oak wood beautifully carved, the joints articu-1 lated so that legs. and. arms and hands move on sockets, the handslaud feet daintily cut with small and c^elicate nails, the. features and the |air Christmas Tree carved out in the most minute and c|re-1 Ornaments ful way, the latter waving low onJthe! forehead and bound with a fillet. Ffom these remains and from a touching sculpture on the sarcophagus we can tell the story of Tryphaena Creporia, for so her name is given, with nothing more to identify her. It is known that when girls were betrothed in early times their dolls were presented as an offering to Venus, so this young girl had dOubt* less been betrothed to Filetus. who had' presented her with the lonble ring, and with one on which was engraved'his I name, when fatal Illness o\ertook herj on the very threshold of life. In tho carved stone-work of the coffin Tryphaeija is represented lying on a low bed, trying to raise herself on her left arm to speak to her disconsolate father, who stands leaning on the bedsteml, his head bowed with grief. The mother sits on the bed, her head co\t red, weep-
