Venus, the bright morning star, is uavellingat present through the heavens on borrowed honors, and receiving the worship intended for the long expected Star ot Bethlehem The holy associa li. ns connected with that star, and the eager desire to see that "Star in the hast" which led on the Wise Men, and rested over the birth place of the infant Jesus quickens expectation at the time when llic anniversrv of the nativity is at hn.nl. Bt tne Btar haS not appeared. Cred ulous belief has ele rated the splendid planet Venus to a reverent honor not prooerly belonging to it. The astronomical editor of the Provi dence, K.

Wic the House met to day, the desk recently occupied by Mr. Moffatt of Michigan, who died in Providence Hospital this morn irg, was draped in emblems of mourning and decorated with flow ers. The chaplain offered the fol lowing prayer : "Almighty God, in the midst of this gay and festhe season, we are startled by the sudden death of a member of this House. Impress upon us ail a solemn sense that there is but a step between us and death. So may every man order his houe tiiiit he may likewise be ready when the summons shall come.

Adam-, of Illinois ofiered a reso lution lor the payment ot a month's salary to the House employees who were on the rolls December 5th but who have since been discharged prior to January 1st. This is simi lar in Kubstanct to a joint resolution passed some days since except that under the joint resolution, payment must be made from the Treasury, while under the pending resolu tion, p;i ment is made from the contingent fund of the House. In speaking to the ieso!utiiu Mr. Htrbtrt, of Al'ilvma, remarked upon tiie action of certain Senators in criticising the House for passing a joint resolution, an action which he thought was uncalled for in view of the fact that Senators voted themselves each a clerk and insis ted upon paying their employees 25 per cent, more than was re ceived by the employees of the House Mr. Bland moved to refer tbe res olution to the committee on ac counts.

More Iucidents of the Blizzard. IBj lelagrapli to theAaaeville Cltizau. Chicago, Dec. 22. A Daily News special from Topeka, Kan., says f Mr. J. R. Hazeltine, banker of John son City on the frontier, is in the city. He reports that a farmer named L. C. Clark, living near Gol den, Grant county, left his family at home Monday to go ' to HaTtiand, the nearest railroad point, tor the purpose of getting coal. His family being entirely without fuel, he left Hartland late Monday evening with his coal; and next morning was found about 0 miles from home ly ing by the side of his horses frozen stiff. The animals were also frozen, and all of the hodies partly covered oy snow. Clark's wife and three children had, in the meantime, nearly perished, and had oaly saved themselves from death by leaving the shell of house and tak ing refuge from the blizzard in a cave. Two deaths re reported from Gieely county, situated on the Col orado line A brother and a sister, named Robert and Sarah Hoiseapfel, who lived on a claim in an unst tied portion of the county found themselves without fuel Sunday evening. They tore down a small shed to burn the lumber, and that night all but a small amount which they had themselves burned, was stolen from them. Early in the morning the young man went to the town of Horace, about seven miles distant, and succeeded in getting two hundred pounds of coal late in the afternoon. Being obliged to travel sgainst the lurious wind then blowing, he did not reach home until nearly midnight. His limbs were then numb and he wa so ex hausted that it was with great diffi culty he gained ad mission to the house. He found his sister in bed insensible and almost stifl. She had been without fire all day, and the p ior!y built house afforded her lii tie protection. Although the young mail was almost frozen himself, he tiied to tevive his eistar, but to no avail. Another death re ported from Gteely county is that of a farmrr GO years old, whose name cannot be learned.. He lived alone and was not only without fuel but without food. Being a recent settler in the country he had no ac quaintances. A widow named Keilly and her two children per ished in the storm on Monday near Dighton. in Lane county. They woie without fuel and the storm came so suddenly upon them that they were unable to get it. The woman's oldest son started out in the. storm to s;et coal. He was over come by the intense cold, but fortu nately wandered to the house of a ! nuiubVinr Tin w! nnahl tnaneik' and his anus, feet and ears were frozen. Uy strenuous efforts his leg was saved although he will probably lose his feet. There arc also reports of great suffering in Clark county on the In dian Territory line. A f.i.nily ol four were travelling overland and being Out ten miles from home and several miles from any other house, oetermined o reich home tbat night in spile of the terrible storm. The horses were overcome and the family was obliged to abandon the horses and wagon and walk miles to tne nearest houe. A two year old child froze to death in its fath er's firms before shelter was reached The others reaohed the house badly frozen, t he condition ot tht peo- nle iu Western and Southwestern Kansas is ve;y bad.
