Tlie locomotive continued on its wild course to near Carrollton, about ton miles distant, when she exhausted herself and was taken hack to Dayton, after a totul run of thirteen miles. It will bo a strange thing, and not so strange either, if the lawyers consume Mr. Tilden’s estate in (lie efforts of the heirs to see who shall have it. A i.derm an McQuadis is leaving no stone unturned to keep out of the peni tentiary. A penitentiary is rather a dreary place to picnic in after a man lias been going tho rounds of aldermanic champagne suppers for years. Tub transalantie steamers arriving in New York during the past week, report fearful storms on the high seas; but no mishaps have befallen any of thorn. The modern ocean steamship is well nigh proof against any tempest or sea. While Christmas is approaching it would be well for us all to remember that our festivities and rejoicing are all in memory of the birth of the meek and lowly Jesus, and that bachanals and orgies are not in consonance with ilis life and teachings. Till: (illT I’KOIILKM. “Commerce illicit only the pioneer of civilization,but of Christmas as well,” re marks the New York World. This ii^ true and the suggestion is appropriate that the aggregate amount of observation and calculation that are going on with reference to the outlay for presents is simply enormous, and there are lines of thought and wistfulness upon sweet and generous faces which would not be there were it not for the limitation of the purse. The unsatisfied yearning for the pleasure of giving pleasure to others lias something pathetic about it. Hut the air will lie full of it from now on to the holidays, and it will even at times bring tears to the eyes of those who deserve never to know a care. There is only one way, however, to deal properly with the inevitable, tie it good, bad or indifferent, and that is to treat it philosopieally. Those whoso de sires outran their purses have the . con sciousness of good intentions, and there is much comfort in that. Useless regrets dog all day than wear out the seat of his I should be cast aside and the process of | trousers trying to decide which aide of the fenco ’ adapting ends to means lie cheerful ly i t0 on- , .. . . . . . mi We trust, however, that, as the correspondent and decisively proceeded with, here | suggests, ho will make the landing without dip- cun be no shortcoming on the part of } pingeithersideofhis boat, those who wish to give and cannot, and Not Like Or.ily. It appears that .Mr. Henry W. Clrady, of the Atlanta Constitution, is being crowded with club invitations. He lias been invited to address the New England Society. Win tl asked what be would say on the occasion, Mr. Grady is reported as saying: "The Lord only knows. 1 have thought of a thousand things to say, live hundred of which if I sav they will murder*me when I get buck home, and if I say the other live hundred they will mur der me at the banquet." This is nut like Grady used to be. We remem ber that when ho was bucking against 'the Con stitution with the Atlanta Herald, he wrote a very strong article endorsing a particular subject. He found that lie was wrong and the next day wrote an article equally as strong, taking the op posite side of tile question. In commenting ou it the Constitution said: "Our D iend Grady, of the Herald,reminds usofalitlle hoy running first on one side of the fence and then on the other, to get away from the dog." To this Mr. Grady replied that lie had rather run on the opposite side of the fence from the their consciences will not lie troubled; but llic people who can and ought to make others happy on Christmas, and do not want to, are the ones to whom the occasion is a deserved annoyance; and no ono wants them to escape it. There is a certain unfortunate class who arc un wisely solicitous to pass for possessing much more means than they really have, who are also annoyed by the pressure of the season, but they no more than pay the penalty of their pretensions. Yet, in spite of all drawbacks, the day of present-giving, were it put to vote, would be sustained by r. very large ma jority. The children alone would out weigh the gruuifders. Tun new carpetbagger who is coming into the south from the nortli is an im provement on the old one. The carpet bagger who packs his grip with checks and comes south to buy mills and build foundries and start blast furnaces will always be welcome. Tine Lord and Lady Colin Campbell divorce suit, which lias boon the sensa tion in London for the past two weeks, and tlie indecent details of which have been filling the columns of many of the Eni'lish and American newspapers from day to day, is finished. The jury has found that neither of tlie parties are guilty of adultery, as charged, and the lord and lady are left maritally as they were. Probably in no divorce suit of prominence in modern times has so much soiled linen been aired as was in this. CMJVUItirS IS MKI.TKD. A pathetic episode is related of tlie singing of tlie “Home of tlie Soul” to Cluverius, the condemned murderer, lie has from his first arrest maintained a cynical indifference which nothing ap peared to alter. The other day a tenor singer visited him in his cell and sang to him tlie "Home of the Soul.” Ami the sweet notes, ns they brought before his mind’s eye the picture of the homo and tlie country “Where no storm ever beats On the beautiful strand While the years of eternity roll,” melted his hard, cold heart, while tears and sobs told plainly of the deep emotion of his soul. Even Cluveiius may be for given and saved. Let us hope that lie w ill be. PEltl'ETl AI. MOTION. The perpetual motion crank and his gullible disciples come up to the surface as regularly as ever. Perpetual motion has just broken out in violent form in Reading, Pennsylvania. The happy and transient hero this time is I). J. Daley, who is announced as the “young inven tor." lie claims, to use his own lan guage, that tlie machine is “nothing more nor less than perpetual motion.” Mr. Haley’s modesty in admitting that his machine is “ nothing move than perpet ual motion,” can not he too highly re commended. The machine consists of a horizontal shaft, upon which is mounted a wheel, about tlie perimeter of which is attached a continuous tube bent in tlie form of projecting loops, fitted with springs, in which metallic balls are continually traversing. Skilled me chanics have examined tho ma chine and pronounced favorably upon the principle followed. Whether or not it can be utilized for power re mains to be demonstrated. Haley is having tlie invention patented. Ilis model was constructed in Philadelphia, and on account of the plausibility of tlie plan tlie patent office permitted him to make it much larger than tlie regulation models. lie lias already received natter ing oilers for tlie invention. Mr. Haley would do well to accept these otters. Dome morning lie may wake up and dis cover that ids machine is not as per petual as he though it was. As long as tlie law in physics, that action and re action are equal, remains unchain, ed, per- Pi’b'.al motion is a physical iinpo;- ibility. -Everybody but the cranks know ibis. HAVE NOT BEEN LAZY. It lias become chronic to grumble about the do-nothingness of congress. Congress lias done a great deal in the brief time since it came together. Tlie senate bill to regulate tlie electoral count and to provide, so far as may lie, for dis putes regarding it, lias passed tlie house with slight change, and will in all prob ability pass tlie senate also as soon as it can be reached, in tlie senate tlie bill to repeal tlie tenure of office net lias been passed. Ail etlort was made on Saturday by Mr. Cox, of Nortli Carolina, to have it made a special'order for the first week in January, but this was defeated by an objection from Mr. Peters, of Kansas, who probably feared that it would interfere with matters of more moment to him. The bill wss, therefore, sent to Mr. Cox’s committee, that on the reform of tlie civil service, and must take its chances. It is hardly to be feared, however, that, it will fail to pass before tlie session closes, since tlie house can have no di-ect interest in maintaining what is in reality a special privilege for tlie senate, where the majority at present is opposed to the majority in the house. Resides these bills which the respective houses have sent one to the other, there is Hie interstate commerce bill which lias been reported from a conference commit tee and awaits action. The chances are that a measure of some sort will be pass ed before March, since tlie recent decision of tho supreme court throws tlie respon sibility on congress, and there is beyond doubt a very strong demand for action from tlie constituents of a majority of congressmen on both sides. ritoEir by lr. Bribetakers generally should learn a lesson from tlie New York councilmen who were so accustomed to the I u inc.ss of selling valuable street privileges to corporations and putting the price in their own pockets, that they actually came to regard it as legitimate and did not dream that tlie courts would ever in terfere with it. But tboy have found out their mistake. Two of them have been convicted of agreeing to take a bribe of $-0,000 each for their votes on tlie Broad way bill; three others have lied tlie country, one of them forfeiting a bail- bond for fL’.-),000, to avoid trial; and two other men, who were suspected of acting as agents in the bribery negotia tions, have run oil’, too. This is pretty rough treatment; but bribetakers may as well remember that “tlie way of the transgressor is hard.” Tilings may go smoothly fra time, and the recreant betrayers of public trusts imagine that it is not a dangerous business. But tlie day of reckoning surely comes, and the vengeance they laughed at overtakes them and grinds them to powder at last. A locomotive sometimes behaves enough like a runaway horse to be one. At Hayton, Ohio, Friday last a locomo tive ran away with a full head of steam, tlie engineer and fireman having jumped oil’to avoid a collision, and performed one of the most remarkable journeys on recijrd. It dashed through the city at tlie rate of sixty miles an hour, and crossed numerous oftlie leading streets with the rapidity of lighting. Numbers of people barely escaped being run over, and one street car, crowded with passengers, was missed only by a few inches. Tho wild engine jumped the track at a point on Main street, and, after playing havoc with crossties and rails, in some unaccountable manner jumped upon another track and went flying through tlie union passenger depot out over tlie Miami river into the country. Three passenger trains had just left the depot a few minutes before. The children that stare Into tlie big windows j ao full of everything they may not have—remem ber them. They will be found at the mission schools Christmas morning; in cheerless homes | | all the week*. Tin's is the goodwill week of all j the year. 1 There are significant tokens that Ben Butler is assuming a diguise for dark horse purposes, j Thus he appears in New York: ‘‘He wears a j long ulster belted and strapped snugly around around him, a fur cap that comes down over his ears, and fur gloves. The collar of his coat is turned up and the tails almost touch the ground.” Fred Douglass has written a letter from Paris, in which lie picturesquely remarks: “Right here in sight of where I am writing, nearly 30C0 heads have fallen by the guillotine-heads of men, heads of women, heads of statesmen, heads of kings and queens.” That must have remind ed him of Washington before the days of civil service reform. A Vermont paper puts in a pathetic plea for the republican party to stop the quarrels among its leaders, and it asks that the organization go even further, and come buck upon its own ground of principles, thus becoming the “grand old party” in something more than tradition again. A Chicago woman is attracting considerable attention by appearing on the streets leading a big cat covered with a rose plush blanket and wearing a collar on which are little silver bells. Once again it is learned ironi the Blaine pa pers that the president’s message is “ju«t tol’able, ye know,” but hardly what it would have been if it had not been for that New York plurality of 1100 votes. Congressman Holman continues to exhibit his aversion to having bouquets placed on his desk. He probably looks on them as a mild form of bribes.
