Religious Department CHRISTMA8. chbiebop Newcome (Episcopalian) says Jesus was born between the middle of Again the clad season of tbe year baa come, when the hear of all, bat tbe ycung especially are made happy by the' festivities of the occasion. While we would not bring a clond acroes tbe minds ot the young or the old, we think our way of celebrating this glad season is not appropriate, to say tfcte least of it. In stead of rejoicing over tbe birth of the P.'inceof Peace, the usual festivities would indicate that the natal day of the God of war, or the heathen, orgies of B.tachus, or rites to the God of pleasure were being celebrated. Let us this blessed Christmas and Sab bath morning turn away from the usual revelry and think ot the higher and holies blessings which this day suggests. Peace on earth, and good will to man, was tbe glad song or tbe angels oo the Ju dean hills, when His birth was annonnce- ed. Peace is a very blessed word, and we can hardly appreciate all that it means. Peace to divided families is a great blees- ing—peace to a distracted community, wheie tends and strife have long prevailed, ia a boon greatly to be desired—peace in a country devastated by war and blood shed, is greatly to be desired—but noae of these, nor all of these, will illustrate the full meaning of tbe word peace when applied to Him whose birth-day brings gl idness to so many hearts to-day. In seme reso.cts aud on certain occasions, ho has brought peace in all tbe paicula ra enumerated above, where strife bas rei- %«ied, and if it were necessary instances ctlbld be pointed out illustrating the troth ol' what we liav tten. . But the peace which His atonement piodncea is for^every individual if the ap. pointed means are used for its attainment. Tnrougb the atonement, God is reconciled to man, and man may be reconciled to Clod, by repenting of sin and believingly accepting the offered terms of mercy. Doug this the sinner is adopted into God’s family, has peace of conacienc aud en mity and bitter feeling is removed from the heart toward bis fellow-creatures. This ia the result of a saving faith in Him whose day we now celebrate. Peace ,1 with conscience, peace with our fellow- • meq, and peace with God. Have you this peace abiding in your heart to-day? If so you indeed have cause to rejoice with,a joy unspeakable. If you are not in pos session of this blessing, seek it at once. The OhriBtian Index styles Christmas a social rather than a religions occas on. Teat paper furnishes some historical facta Vp concerning the festival, which might be - - introduced appropriately at the dose of thiB article: Everybody knows that the Jday propo ses to commemorate the birth ot Jesus. But no one knows the exact day of his birth. Mot eyen the year is positively knowo. The historian “The year in which it occured has not hitherto been ascertained,not-* itbstandiug the deep and laborious researches of the Jwrled. "X’ual which appears probibis i* that it occured aboui a year and six month befoie tkvfcriA of Htuod, in tbe year of Rome ’ -#\jr'746.” He adds very wisely: “The uncertainty, however, of this point is ot no very great consequence. We know that the Sun of Righteousness has bimd upon the wotld;aud though we can not fix tbe precise period in which be arose, tbU will not preclude *us from en- Augnst and the middle of N mmber, D. 748 or 749. We will take the mean time October 1.” Why we are not inform ed. John Ht-nry Blunt,another Episcopal authority, diionssesj the question in his “Dictionaty of Doctrinal and Historical Theology.” We quote: The Church Catholic, though it has ways celebrated our Lord’s Nativity, bas not been uniform in its observance. Cl* ment of Alexandria (born A. D. 153) styles thejatterapt to define the precise day of its occurrence as idle, and says that while some kept it on May the 33th. others an dcipated that day by a whole month.” Blnot also says that “the institution of this festival is lost iu antiquity.’’ In our copy of Clement we do nut find what Blunt ascribes to him, bat we find ths fol lowing: “There are those who have determined not only the year of our Lord’s birth, but also the day; and they say it took place in the twenty-eighth year of Augusta, and in the twenty-fourth or twenty-fifth of Pnar- mnthi.” Authorities at hand do not intorm ns what month of our calender coincides with Paeon; but from Josephus we learn that Pbarmuthi was the Egyptian name of tbe Hebrew month Nisan, which ia equivalent to parts of onr March and April* From all this it ia certain that at ths time Cle ment wrote bis Stromata, about A. D. 193, the day of tbe birth was a matter of con- j cture only. That was before the rise of the “Boman Catholic Church,” upon whoso authority it is usually supposed that the" assumed date December 25th real?. It is probable, however, that even b> fore that Church formally set apart that ’a e, it was observed in thq-Weatern-chur- ch, and passed into the Eastern Church in tbe fourth century, about the time of Chrysostom. Many resons arejgiven forfixiog this date. It is commonly thought that the early C.iris_tiau3 adopted it because their Pagan neighbors celebrated what they called their “Saturnalia”' at that time, on the well known enstom of transforming heath en festivals into Christian Plumptre, in Kllicott, t this the probable origin “The time was chosen in order to substitute the purified joy of a Christian festsval for tbe license of the Srturualia which was kept at that season*” DB. MILIEU’S DEATH. It does not seem much to tell, but when it happened it created a profound sema tion among the thirty or forty people who were massed together in a street car, each one thinking only of his own dis comfort “Move up there forward, will ye?” The car bad suddenly gstofrped, with' a jolt that pitched every one who was stand ing toward the front door,and the recoil had .blocked up |the enterance £from the platform. The cw ctor ' imperiously repeated the order in a hoarse ^yoice. At the same time he shoved into tbe car a m»n on crutches. Men and women sul lenly-moved up to make place for the lame man, but no one offered him a seat The car started again. It was soon ap parent that it was difficult for the cripple to support himself by the swinging strap aud preserve his equilibrium . on his crutches. Every person seated looked the other way. A little later the conductor;[entered th em for the fares. When he came to the cripple the man was evidently suffering from the inconvenience of his position He did not seem a poor man. His face was thin, and he was pale, and looked poorer in health than in pocket; but b was not elegant enough to abash the con ductor, who became impatient while the cripple fumbled for his change, “Hurry up with your fare, or get off:' said the conductor, harehly. “I t,e :lart, I iiaveu’i a cenil I didn’t know it when I got on,” said the crippl-, mildly. “I.will send it to you. Won’t that d ?’ “None of that gatna with met Pay, or get off! Q lick, no* l” The suffering man flushed, hh hands trembled, and he turned to leave the car Tho passengers watebed him coldly; not one offered to help. The conductor rang the bell viciously for tbe car to stpp, A boy hai been walcbiug Ibis scent with the greatest inteiest. He Was not & piopossessing boy. H s cloLoes had never been made fur him; they hung on him loosly and were not clean; hut be had the alert, bright expte-sion so ol ten seen on the faces of tbe street Arubi. He started toward the cripple when the conductor rang the bell, and it was] evident that he, too, was lame. The car grated to al stand still. “Now hurry up !” d the conductor. The cripple fat-id b.s eyes in entreaty swung his crutches into position, and painfully moved to leave the car. Hts eyes were filled with feat s of pain and mortification. Most of the passengers looked out of the window. Oh, the ci louji.ess of a crowd! “Now, don't get out!” piped up a thia voice. “I know how you feel, mister, guess 1 can lend you Hive cents.” The child pal 1 the man's fare, and the two unto tun .ei stood side by side in sympathetic silence. A buzz went over tbat^car, and many cheek bent, hoping to biush unseen. No one likes to be shamed into decency by newsboy.

They Recognize That ah Organized 2 Effort Is Being Made to Wreck, the Government—President Carnot Stands Firm. Paris, Dec. 34.—At a cabinet conncil held in the Elysee Thursday, it was re solved that the government would acqui esce in full and unrestricted debate on Lucien Milvoye’s interpolation regarding the alleged use of money advanced by the Panama Canal company in the service ofthe government. The cabinet is fully aware that tho motion has been offered in a spirit of hostility to the administration if not to the republic itself, Milvoye having been known as an ardent supporter of Bou langer, bat President Cainot has given his fiat that no one must be spared against whom there is evidence of guilty complicity in the Panama frauds, and that the government must welcome the searching investigation. Besides, the ministry, it is said, hope that the inquiry consequent upon Mil voye’s interpolation may prove a Boomerang for tlio BoulftngliU by giving an opportunity to bring out the history of the Boulangist plot for Che overthrow of the Ropublic, and of Che discreditable methods by which it was proposed to accomplish that object, as well as the straits the government was driven into detect and defeat the conspirators. The Sensation it Created lh Savannah The details of tbe mnrder of Dr. Geo, R. Millen, a well known citizen of Sa vannah, have oreated a big sensation. Dr. Millen had a plantation abont 12 miles out of tbe oity and drove out there to collect some rents. He failed to retain, and his horse having been found by the wayside, friends started out to search for him. Tbe horse was given the reins and went through a thick woods to the edge Mosheim Bays: of a swamp, where he stopped. Almost completely buried in the mud and water the body of tbe doctor was found. A blow across tbe front of his face, which hsd broken his nose and stunned him, showed that he had been assaulted. The supposition is that some one en ticed him into the woods and there struok him with a club and then threw him into the swamp. The blow was not huffioient to kill, and he was in reality drowned. Dr. Millen was a cousin to the Millen heirs now suiog for an Immense lot of property here and it was be who in- Joying the direction aud infljeucs of bis duced them to begin legal action.

It is said that for this reason some of the Bonapartists regret that the inter polation was offered, and there an many whoi while joining in demanding the punishment of the Panama swind lers and • corruptionists, are equally as strong in their- condemnation of the Boulanger conspiracy. To Wreck the Republic. The ministry have evidence, it is re ported, that the present attack on the government is part of an organized plan for the overthrow of the republio, and that each step taken • is carefully discussed in advance by the plotters against the constitution. The ministers are also convinced that the only way to meet the crisis is to throw the whole of the Panama scandal, as rapidly aa the facts are developed, open before the public, and to retain only such in re serve as may be necessary for the proper management of the judicial prosecutions. President Carnot has not exactly said, “Let No Guilty Man Escape,’* but he has substantially declared that no guilty man shall be shielded from justice by any act on the part of the government, and all the powers of the government will be exercised to bring the law breakers to punishment. Ribot understands the purpose of the president, and whatever may have been his views on the subject in the Loubet cabinet, he is now committed without reserve to the policy of thorough expo sure and rigid prosecution. "Washington. Dec. 24.—On the house aide of the Capitol there is a scene of desolation. Thehegiraof members be gan some days ago, and but a half .dozen representatives were left in the cham ber engaged in answering their pre- Christmas correspondence. Otherwise the hall was deserted, except when the ubiquitous newspaper man entered it in search of an item, which he was des tined not to find, or when a few noisy pages chased one another up and down the Aisles. In the room of the committee of ap propriations, Mr. Sayers, of Texas, was bnsily engaged, with the assistance of the clerk in making up the sundry civil appropriation bill for report to the full committee. Besides the clerk, no one was in the room but Mr. Dockery, of Missouri. He was engaged in studying question relative to the internal reve nue. He stated that the investigation as to the condition of the treasury would be carried on solely by the ways and means committee, ana that the appro priation committee would not interfere. He expressed the belief that it was the proper committee to conduct the in- K uiry. He predicted that little legisla- ion would be enacted this session out side of the regular appropriation bills, all of which were in an unusual condition of forwardness. As to an extra session, he thought that it would not be called before September. He thought this the wisest course unless it conld be agreed that the session called in March would be merely for organization, of course. On the senate side there was an as set of complete evacuation- and deser- won, even more striking than that of the house. The chamber was as quiet as a cemetery, not a page flitting about, nor a single senator was to be seen. The doorkeepers were all absent from their poets, and every committee room was locked and all business suspended in the clerk’aeffice. Mr. Chandler was the only senator who appeared during the day, and after attending to some matters relating to immigration, he left the capitol. _ He has not yet appointed the sub-committee of senators to confer with the treasury officials relative to the two immigration bills reported to the senate and honse but will consider the matter during the recess and probably announce it some time next week.

Topeka, Dec. 24.—While the Popu lists have for several days been getting in readiness for instituting quo warranto proceeding in the supreme coart to pre vent a number of Republican members- elect of the house from taking their scats, they have not yet been filled and it is probable that they never will be. Tbe decision of the supreme court in Nebraska in similar cases which were brought by the Republicans of that state has, it is said, retarded them from entering the suits here. It has been discovered, however, that three Republican members-elect are postmasters. They are: Peter Bowens of Ulysses, Grant county; A. C. Sher man of Rissville, Shawnee county; and B. C. Campbell of Dophan. The constitution provides that no con gressmon or officer of the United States shall be eligible^ to a seat in the legisla ture. The three postmasters have re signed their offices to remove this disa bility. Notwithstanding this fact, the • Populists still claim that they are in eligible, and that while they were act ing as postmasters they could not legally be elected. The Republicans assert that there is nothing in the constitution to prevent a postmaster from being a candidate for the legislature. - This question will doubtless have to be determined by the court before the legislature meets. Should it be decided against the Republicans, that would loave them in the minority, in the house. Tn-cnty-Ono Committeemen Resign. Washington, Dec. 24.—The trouble in the local committee appointed to have charge of the arrangements for the inangnration of President elect Cleveland culminated in the resignation of twenty-one of tho Democratic mem hers.

Washington”, Dec. 24.—One of those peculiar bills that occasionally find their way. into congress was introduced by Mr. Mitchell in the senate. Its elabor ate title provides for the prohibition of electro-magnetism, mesmerizing and hypnotizing human beings, etc., and prescribes punishment. Numerous pe titions and documents accompany the bill, and others equally voluminous are referred to. The bill in brief provides that any person who, anywhere within the jurisdiction of the United States, shall apply a curren t of electricity upon a person for the purpose of affecting an ting a other, or which does so affect, shall be guilty of a crime punishable by death, and that any person having knowledge of such enrrent having been applied who fails to notify the proper authori ties, shall be deemed to be accessory and shall be punished by a fine of not less than $5,000, nor more than $20,000, or by imprisonment ranging from two years to the period of one’s natural life.

The petition alleges that Weatherford was a brake- make on a freight train of defendant, and owing to defective air brakes was thrown from the top of a car and fell under the wheels and was killed. Travel from Texas. Waoo, Dec. 24.—For years the rail roads of Texas have made low rates daring the holidays to points in the southern states to er* '!e the people of Texas to visit their Id homes. The rural population of Texas is .largely made up of people from the old southern states, and whenever the cotton crop is a success they indulge in the luxury of a visit to their former homes beyond, the Mississippi. Cotton has brought a fair price this year, and the holiday travel, which has just begun, will be the heav iest for years. A Singular Accident.

Dec. 24.—The American flag now floats from the Administration building at Jackson Park to signify that the World’s Fair buildings and grounds are in the possession of tbe tJnited States government. Vice President Mor ton accepted them on behalf of the gov- ! eminent on Dedication day, but actual j possession was not taken until Director ’ General Davis, the chief government' World's Fair official, moved into his offices in tho Administration building. The raising of the stare and stripes sig naled that event. All of the World’s Fair offices, except two or three, are now removed to Jack- son Park, and those will soon follow. For nearly two years the offices have been in the Rand McNally building in the center of the city. Now, however, the work of the preparation of the great Fair has reached a stage requiring it to be carried on in the buildings which are to contain the exhibits. All of these buildings are now practically finished and ready for the installation ef exhib its. Most of the work remaining to be done on the buildings of a decorative nature and can be carried on and com pleted without interferring with the plaoingof exhibits.

Mount Carmel, Penn., Dec. 24.—A desperate battle took place here which may resnlt in the death of several of the participants. The combat was CAnsed by a jilted lover, who followed the object of his affections fr^ - the old country to America, met his ..val and a fierce fight ensued. Until six months ago John Roteski, Michael Lincevitcb and Mary Donsky lived in a small town in Hnngary. Both men were despe rately in love with Mary, who finally agreed to flee to this country with John. Upon their arrival iu New York they were married and have lived in peace and happiness until about one week ago, when it was learned that Lince- vitch had followed them to this country with the intention of being revenged. A pugilistic encounter was chosen as a means of deciding the justice of the claims, and Thursday night was the time set for the duel. Aliout fifty railroad workmen wit nessed the fray. Mary was selected as referee, and, it is alleged, agreed to take the victor for her husband. The men were stripped to the waist, and when time Was called started in to punish >ther. Five rounds were fought, l; a: v._al •_ each I during which time both men had their faces almost battered into a jelly.
