who ieu that she was engaged in a

ihc instances related are true, lead to
a tew thoughts in regard to the holi
day limes.
There is something elevating in the
thought lha millions of men, in na
tionalities Var.ous, and of languages
diverge, unite in s common holiday
observance. Superficially, in the
foliowii g of customs, religious and
social, they are agreed, though difler-
tug in the degree of Hlgnificaute with
which holid-iys aie observed. With
many people .i;e holiday means only
relaxation from the daily round of
toil; snd with others its recurrence ib
• b^ervid only a* a time of license,
and oi iuduig -nee in excesses which
leave no pleasant remembrances a:*
terward. It is scarcely io be won-
ri-red, then, that s me schools of re
jig ous thinkeis disapprove of honor
ing oi e day atove another. Yat,
when all the arguments pro and con
—ail the facts, indeed—are consider
ed, it must he n' tuied that the bal-
at ce is in favor of the holidays. The
tieod of public sentiment is for the
marking of “times a-d seasons.”
Ev<-u thosewho olj-cted on principle
and in theory only mildly protest.
They find their objections giving

Union to m in'ain its cbseivance
If 'here he tech a .hing as intuition
in mental pre cesses, it may be found
in the sen tment with which chil
dren ttelcuae the holiday. And
those of thee.dor grown whopreserve
their youth in this retpect are not
among the least happy of human
kind.
In the daily round, Ihe ct mmor
toil, we only see the seamy side, of
life. On the h thiiaj we turn the
best side our. The very toil of pres,
vious preparation reaches its pleasant
climax, when the go> d wishes and
congratulations are exchanged, and
the tokens of regard are given. The
social a nd familiar a-pects of the time
minister to ail that is most cheerful
aid useful in ihe household, and
Bireog'htn the bonds between fami
lies and friends. All this is admit
ted, and often dilated upon. The
chief thought, however, is the grand
idea of the great family, the human
brotherhood. Ceriaiuly such a com
mon central thorgbt as that of the
Infinite Love of God, which is the
inspiiatiou of true religious observ
ances, should lead nun to love one
anoiher, and dispose natioDB to
comity, chuiches to unity in es

by extreme watchfulness and self-
restraint
We call truth sacred, yet the study
and correct use of language.by which
alone we can communicate it, Is too
often regarded as a strictly literary
accomplishment, having nothing to
do with character or morality. Is it
not certain that if our young people
were imbned with larger and higher
ideas of truth, and taught the tin rat
duty of cultivating the only means
we have of uttering it, a new impetus
would be given lo their efforts, and
they would help to build up a more
truth-i ailing as well as truth-loving
nation?
It may be suggested that if all this
care and pains and education are
necessary in order to tell the truth,
we should practically be reduced to
silence. Not so, however. Thete
would probably be less talkir gdone
for a long lime if tcese necessities
were appreciated. Silence is, indeed,
often the best, and sometimes the
only medium of tiuth. But we
should also ri cognize what is fre
quently forgotten or denied, that as
in everything else, so in truth, (here
are degrees There ib no sharp limit,
as some aver, between what is true
snd wha’ is untrue. Truth, like
justice, mercy and love, la
infinite, and can never be
exhausted. The finite man can ODly
approach It humbly, yet earnestly,
and If he do this to the extent of bis
powers be will become a truthful
and an honorable man If, however,
he dots not bring all his powers into
this service, if he neglects to train
hie faculties of observation, of
thought, ol language, if be does not
reBiat the bias of prtjudice and of de
sire, if be dots not search fqr truth
with energy, and use scrupulous care
ai d accurate language in conveying
it. he can never attain to that char
acter.

cie! ii» e,l yesterday from Austin to
the New* says : “Two terrible crimes
were committed in this city last night
after midnight which will undoubt
edly it suit in tbreedestbs, and there
is no telling how many lynching*,
“During the psst year Austin has
been horrified every few weeks by
some dastardly attack on servant
women, both whbe and colored.
Fully adtz-n eervante have been
outraged and eight murdered within
this period. The crimes all bore evi
dence of being perpetrated by the
same person. Every effort being
made to apnrebend the criminals,
skilled defectives being em
ployed. Many negroes were
arrest-d »nd put through
a rigid ex- mination but nothing
came of the e Sorts. Many citizsus
and some < flkials held to the theory
that crimes w ere perpetrated by some
insane person who cunningly devised
how ’• s could shed the woman’s
blood without apprehension.
“About midnight last night W H
Hancock, a well to do carpenter re
siding at 203 Watcrstreet, was awak
ened by groans. Entering Lis wife’s
chamber he found the vacant bed
covered with blood spots. He follow
ed the trail out of the front do< r
around tbe bouse and into the back
yard, where he fouad his wife wel
tering in a pool of blood, Bhe had
been struck twice across the head
and face with a b'unt axe and her
skull fractured. Although still alive
he physicians sav she will sorely die
from her wounds. Mrs Haucock
is forty years of sge, and a handsome
woman, rihe beats an unblemished
character. In the midst of the great
cxciieo ent produced by this outrage,
tbe citizens wereiappalied at learniDg
of as'iil greater crime that had been
perpeirated about the same hour sev
eral squares distant.
“At 1 o’clock Mrs Phillips, residing
at S<>8 Hickory street, was awakened
by tne cries of her grandson. En
tering the. room of her son, James
Pailiips, the found the infam on the
bed covered with blocd and Phillips
lying senseless from a terrible blow

“Tnere io no cine in either case.
Excitement on the streets during tbe
day was very great. Christmas
wis toigotten. The mayor called
a m eting of cnizens at the state

Chicago, D oembtr 26—A little
after 9 o’clock tb s morning a quart
can of peculiar construcuoi- was
found on the front porch 'f Ju ige
Lambert Trse’s residence, No 40Ca»s
street, by hit coachman, who eadt-r
ly picked i! up and carried it into the
vacant lot in the rear and then
started on a run for Ihe Chicago avo
nne police station. He was pale wi
fright when he reached ther<
and telling Lieutenant Bhepparu
that he bad found a can
of dynamite and where
had found it and asked that an of
ficer be sent down to invesligare.
Officer Gallagher was sent back with
him and toge:ber they look the my*
terious can to the lake shore at the
toot of Chicago avenue, and touched
a match to the loot of the dynamite
fuse which was wound about the can
The explosion made a terrific noise
which was heard distinctly at the
station and the earth was torn up for
several feet.
When the can was first found
was standing under the doorway
The fuse was charred at the end
showing that it bad been lighted and
gone out. The deadly contrivance
looked like a common lamp, and
thinking It was put there by some
practical joker, tbe coachman re
moved it to the yard. In layiDg i
down he was horrified to notice that
a fuse was attached to the machine.
A hurried inspection showed I hat
it was not tbe innocent thing it w
deemed to be. It was left untouched
till Officer Gallagher’s arrival- He
carried it to the central station. His
appearance created the wildest excite
moot, and the officers lost no time in
getting outside. Many of them
mindful of Olio Fink’s experiments
with an infernal machine, ran pell
mell cut of the station
and Gallagher was forced
to dispose of the machine himself
He carried it to a powder dealer on
Lake street, but th's man refused to
touch it. Tbe o erk in tbe store,
however, examined it sod at first
sight pronounced it a finely com
■trncted dynamite bomb.
'T ike it oat of here! explode it a
once!” shouted the frightened cleik
r it will blow up the whole
street!”
Gallagher and the clerk hastened
with the machine to the lake front,
where prep rations were trade to ex
plode the comb and a fuse five fee,
long w»a attached to tbe mine and
fired. Tbe men ran with all speed to
a tafe distance, but none too soon, for
they had not gone two hundred feet
when tbe machine exploded
with tremendous noise. The
rep rt was heard as far
as west 5th avenue, and an idea
he force of he explosion may b
made by the way tbe gronnd wa
torn up for a depth of six feet. The
hard frozen grouud was - craped as if
it w*re so much water. Officer Gai
iegher’s c< mpanion, an expert, was
of the opinion that the explosive was
nitro glycerine, and dec ared that
enougn of it was in the machine to
blow up the city hall.
Thus far the police have no Idea of
the parties who are responsible for
the contemplated outrage. It is net
known thrt auy motive existed foi
the commission of such a barbarous
act. There have been no arrests made
The Tree residence is one of the
moet elaborate acd costly houses in
the city, cccupyicg one quarter of
an entire block in the fashionable
residence district in the north divis-
ion of the city. The building pr-b

THE PRESIDENT’S RECESS WORK.
President Cleveland now finds ttma
to draw a long breath and stop for
moment’s rest. He has sent to the
senate all ot his recess appointments,
and has determined to make no more
appointments during the session of
congress, except to fill the places of
those whose terms expire. He has
appointed in all a little over lift*
teen hundred men to office
since be came to the white
house on the fourth of March.
Possibly the total may reach sixteen
hundred. The number sent to tbe
senate since its meeting this month
has been a little over fourteen bun
dled; there were about a hundred
sent during tbe session immediately
succeeding his inauguration. The
number whose terms wiii expire
during the coming peventy days will
be net over 300 or 400, so that his total
numberof app imments during his
first year in i ffiue will not exceed
2000.

Chicago, D.c 26 —It has been the
custom o! the hoieis here to present
ail telegraph aDd d sirict messengers
with a cash gift ot 50 cents on Christ
mas. This year some bold and in'
ventive financier in the ranks con
ceived the idea of a collusive partner
ship with mesienger boys for a little
raid on the hole s’ ct flers. It would
eem straDge that among so many
lads there were not one or two who
could be corrupted wiih the promise
of ptcuuiary gams. Tbe plan agreed
on wa* that these dishonest mana
gers should loan outside ojieiatcrs the
ubc of their certificates and te
much of their regulation
ULi’orm as would confirm iden ifi;aa
ion at the window of the ho el cash
ier. These transfers of cap and ctr-
tifica'es took place in the rear of one
oi the buildings in the neighborhood.
The cashier cashed every ter'ificte
that wa* presented, and di ubtle.-s
would have disbursed to the end of
the “run’’ or “ou-'ed” the vaults bad
it not been for the chaDce appear
ance on the outside of the coun'er
of one cf the propriet >rs who was
stanied by the panicky look of things
He ordered the cashier to smpeud
piyment pmding 'he investigation.
A little deteciive woik exposed the
whole plan. The financial managers
of the raid were found in the alley.
Freeh recruit* were arriving from
juvenile colonies in tbe Blue island
avenue district, when tbe young
scamps were detected a nd dispersed.
Tbe cashier resumed payment in
doubly endorsed certificates.

Detroit, Dsoemb-r 26—An Iri-h
oumreak occurred yesterday among
the parir-honere of 8t Albert’* church
(Polish Catholic) which grew out of
the suspensiou of Father Kalasinski.
An attack was made by the mob on
the house of Basil Limke, a pr .mi-
net Polish politician, who is rpgard

inski. The police w*re obliged to In
terfere in considerable force lo
protect Limke, and in tbe course of
tbe riot one of the mob leaders was
killed by the police. The mob then
dispersed, having done a great deal of
damage to property. Eiriy to-day
tbecongregatit n of 8t Alberta church
began to gather about that build ng
and the crowd scattered,-«nd for »
time there were hopes that no
trouble would occur. Hows
ever, tbe crowd soon Increased
until by 10 o’clock fully 2000 people
had become massed in tne streets
about tbe church. In the troubles

Colonel Lamed had been retained by
the Limkes for their defense ou tbe

house of his client to investigate the
case, Jno Wagner,a sewer c infractor

that prevented a fractured skull.
Others who had in various ways bc-
