A i.derm an McQuadis is leaving no

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

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.

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

schools Christmas morning; in cheerless homes |

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.

me to the full enjoyment of health.
