Mr. Eprror:—It is eurrently circu- lated from the postoffice authority that our townsman, Hon. G. B.

England Will Remam Firm in the Position She Has ‘raken. Lonpon, Dec. 19.—In commenting the newspapers generally agree that the situation is much more serious than they thought it to be yesterday. In the public mind also there is a general taken by the President in his message to that. body. The stock exchange here and the exchanges throughout the country con- tinue under the influence of the difficul- ty which has arisen between Great Britain and the United States. At the same time there is no excitement. Consols declined 4, foreign funds were weak and Canadian stocks were lower on continued selling. The Pall Mall Gazette’s maney article says : “Of course, whatever happens Aniér- , Tt: is particularly inopportune w nat many of her railways need money.” The afternoon. papers all “pontadi long editorial articles on the Venezue- lan question, the general tenor of their utterances being the same as yesterday, though all. agree that the matter is be- coming much—graver. ian The Globe, a high conservative or- gan and a newspaper which may be supposed to be on terms of intimacy with the. government, gives warning _|that Great Britain will remain firm, | saying: “President Cleveland may ap- point a dozen commissions, but Eng- land will remain firm in her retusal to recognize them and jurisdiction of this sort. This is our unalterable position, be the .consequeuces what they may, We will never submit to such unpar- alelled dictation.” The Globe is also irate atthe, soba Sonnet Bena ryeles cote ene sent 'to "| the lakes and Chicago, utterances of Dr. ‘Chauncey M.

Sliding down. hill is ‘great sport, but it has its drawbacks. As the twigis bent so isthe gift in- clined—dn the Christmas tree. - He who worships a dollar worships a very small and changeable god. He who puts his thoughts on getting well will soonest have no need of 9 physician. : The road to success is paved with the skulls of misfortune and the bones of contention. fy, It is more pleasant to receive pres- ents than to give them, and not so ex- peusive, either. Searching for happiness wouldn’t be so unsuccessful if you were not contin- ually finding fault. If conscience is what makes cowards of us all, there ought to be a great many. brave men now-a-times. ' Your Chritmas presents will be more appreciated than your Christmas ab- sence. The. happiest. man is who prevents himself doing things he finds objection- able in others. Congress. is determined to “go it blind” this session, as the chaplains of both houses-are blind men. Nearly évery family has observed ground-hog day during the past two weeks—they have been making saus- age, Evergreens are popular at this sea- son of the year. 'They are favorites with us at any time—in the form ot $5 and $10 bills. “?*Tis sweet to look back,” says an exchange. Not always. Remember But perhaps Lot thought Lot’s of men would. Lot’s wife. it was sweet. The big turkey struts proudly by, he gobbles as we pass—next week we'll gobble him—provided we get an_ invi- tation out to dine. If-in providing our gifts for those who do not need them, we remember those down whose chimney no Santa Claus ever comes, wouldn’t our own hearts beat more joyful music to the measure of the Christmas bells ? There is a great deal of sameness in our lives. We go through the regula same streets, we see the same faces we idle away time at the same ae we tell the same jokes, hear the same fuuny stories, and such is the story of life in a country town.—Orange (Va.)

Israel,’ by Miss Marietta Swan, which she sang with such power and sweetnessas gave us a rew _reyela- tion of the possibilities of her glorious voice. * * * For the closing piece Miss Swan surprised the audience by appearing in a new-role, that of elocutionist, In this also she surpassed herself, Miss Swan has surely the elements of success in her make up in that she adds to natural gifts of a high order, intense and persistant applica- tion to her studies, and a determination to reach the highest point of excellence in anything she undertakes.” pergecnemasaoretiins pocianaan ans pee eererraeapummeseqmnen meneame sn mesanae nasa “ wrasin 7 When you go out to look for 4 Sage voce whacce” 185 pounds, that} sold on the Star Warehouse floor on About three months ago I married as |.
