May this day be in a noble sense A Meeet Christmas to all ! FRANCE. 1 France is threatened with a crisis. On the 30th of January, 1886, the term of office of President Grevy ex pires. Under the Constitution of France the people do not elect the President, but the Senate and Cham ber of Deputies. The term of office is seven years. There are several parties in France, and among them are the Orleanists and 'Bonapartists. At present there is not much pros pect of either a Bourbon or a Bona partist being chosen, ' but the Gov ernment is so strong so centralized so little like the American Repub lic prior to 1861, that it need sur prise no one if in the near future a Monarchy should be the final out come. Both Orleanists and Bona partists are strong for the restoration of a Monarchy and they constitute an aggressive and active minority that wield no little influence in creating public sentiment. The Republicans lost heavily in the late elections and this shows-the. drift of sentiment. .The Baltimore American says of the situation:. ; ' - "The republic is not so fond of display as a monarchy, and its expenditures in splendor are meagre compared with those of a regal or imperial court.- A large part of the shopf-keepers of Paris, theref ore, prefer a monarchy to a republic. The same may be said of the wielders of the money power. -Even - the army contains a large number of men who secretly if not openly' would, like to see a restoration of the empire. What the Republicans desire, then, is a man whose Presidency" will not be a continual menace of a coup d'etat. It will be remembered how critical was the situation when Marshal MacMahon was President, and a coup d'etat seemed immi nent for weeks. The steady nerve and the patience of the Republican leaders at that time, particularly Gambetta, saved France from this danger, and not only maintained, 3ut strengthened the republic. But France does not intend to place herself again in this danger if she can avoid it. The' present President is a man of excellent character, of superior abili ties and of moderate aspirations. He is not a revolutionist and his re-election is altogether probable. ; GESS. POBTEB AND GB1NT. It is known that Gen. Grant a few years before! bis. death changed his. opinion as to the merits of the case of vGen. Fitz John Porter, after he had given the case a : close examina tion t This of course was very grat ifying io Gen. Porter and his friends. Indeed, ; the Democrats generally were glad for Gen. Porter is one of them, and the disgrace placed upon him was more political than anything else.-; Gen. Grant refers to... X3en. Porter as the "deeply-wronged mah,w and so the South has always held. Gen. Grant's - letter was- written to President; Arthur and diring the first year of his administratioD. The fol lowing passage is very- creditable to tne writer, and shows that he was Capable:, of mil fWr rnnw. ivf f "Ifa" generous things than soldiers of the S,b5rma?and Sheridan type; ... 4a' Whoieof thelcord and efficient soldier a very great injustice in thought and sometimes in speecn. ;i feel it incumbent upon me now to do what' ever lies in my power to remove from him and from his family honor the stain upon his good name. " -rT k-kfjkkkk Gen. Grant urged . upon, the.PresiV dent to do what be could to secure final justice for Gen. Porter. The whole treatment of him was-malignant, and infamous. - v.' ; It is more than : doubtful if coal is not deleterious to health and in'duo live of diseases of thespiratory organs, it is a ; f aWthat one-ninth of the human raeedie from diseases of those organs, and it is unfortunate if. sopdmfortable a thing ascoal reallyaggravates those , diseases and i increases - the mortality. At any rate there are facts that seem to jas tif ythV raising of ; the question, Is coal as healthful as wood as a fuel? Mr. J. K. Randall, of the -Augusta Chronicle, in one of bis recent very enjoyable letters from; Washington to his paper, writes thus: c ' .l "Dr. Foster, in his pamphlet, says that New Orleans heads the list for consump tion. A Creole told, me -that this disease had been almost unknown among his peo ple until the introduction of coal for fuel and other 'modern improvements.' I have no doubt that tho same processes, in Ihis place, lead to similar results. It may be, therefore, that the open doors of Southern houses are really health preserving.' Old Gov. Wise used to say that the man who opened a door and failed to shut it, let in angel unaware. Such is the importance of fresh atmosphere." - Mr. Joseph Co wen was the Irish member who was singled out by Mr. Parnell for political ostracism, and all Irishmen were urged to vote against him. But he was elected from ;Newcastle-on-Tyne. He is a man of ability, is an Irishman, . and will doubtless support the Liberals in Parliament. He has issued a mani festo to his constituents. We quote a passage in which he favors the Gladstone plan for Ireland and says: "It is impossible for England to consent to protective tariffs for Ireland, to the con fiscation of the property of landlords in Ireland, or to allow the Irish members to legislate on the home affairs of England in addition to having : their own Parliament. With these exceptions, I approve of home rule for Ireland. Paper guarantees for the representation of minorities, the equitable partition of all imperial charges, and the unity of the empire, in my opinion, are useless. The best security against a dis ruption of the union is the mutual interests existing between England and Ireland" CURRENT COMMEN T, Mr. Gladstone's friends say Jhat the "grand old man," the tree- chopper and statesman, is . in fine trim ' for Parliamentary leadership despite the fact that he is seventy six years old. Just at the :,age when most Americans have shuffled off the mortal coil, or elser.have "retired," broken down physically and mental -ly, Gladstone is planning work t b at will occupy him, if he. lives, seven or eight . years. And the amoont of work he does ! We hear of great capitalists in New York, great ope rators;in Wall street, -great manufac turers in New England," and men who manage great estates, being har rassed to "death" and unable to sleep well at night. The prominent financiers of this country have in deed great cares upon their mjnd; but the Jay Goulds and the Yander bilts do not live long. They wear out and become prematurely old ' or die at the age of three-score.- Glad stone has weightier matters on his mind every day, and has to do more thinking and directing than any mil lionaire magnate in New York or Boston. And' he suffers not ! from insomnia, but sleeps like a log after retiring at the hour of 3 o'clock in the morning, having dined f ashibn-j ably between Ihe hours of 9 : and 11, and by way of digestion written a Latin essay or Greek poem. ' Rich mond ( Va.) State. The action of Dakota . is not without precedent. The opposition is purely partisan. Dakota is apt to be admitted to the Union when the House shall have become Republican, and the minority in the lower branch of Congress expect that to happen at the next elections. If that should occur, it will be attributed to the President's silver policy and civil ser vice reform.. Dakota is treeless but well watered and . fertile. The sum mer and fall seasons are enchanting, but in winter the mercury falls thirty degrees Jelow zero. Game is abun? dant. The cities of 3,000 .inhabi tants there have much better hotel accommodations than, Augusta. It is a common thing to see fashionably 'dressed ladies driving out in splendid equipages while painted Indian squaws and braves squat, in stolid wonder, on the sidewalks, so" closely does civilization impinge on bar barism.. The twilight lasts until eleven o'clock p. m., and anybody can read without artificial means up to that hour. Mr. Stephens, y in his day here, was in favor of the admis sion of this territory, because it had all the essentiel: elements .. of a com monwealth. Augusta Chronicle, Dem. - .

What the people need, is a plenty of money, circulating in every direction, all over tVe Country, so" that every kind andi" manner : of industry " will feel the stimulus. .We don't believe any country . can prosper for i any length of time, with only one kind of money in circulation. Germany is trying it and bo is England, but times are distressingly hard in both coun tries. - - France, on the contrary, uses both silver and gold, and is in a much, more prosperous ; condition than either of the others. If the govern ment should demonetize silver, : how much gold could be found in Cul peper ? Not half enough to pay our taxes, we are certain; We say let the silver stay as it is. It was good enough for our ancestor?, and should be for us." Christmas Day. ' The earliest mention of the 25th of December as Christmas day is found in' an ancient catalogue of church festivals about 354 A. D. And it is surprising to see with what alacrity the date was received and the Nativ ity celebrated throughout Christen dom. It seems as if the world had been waiting for this festival of di vine and hnman childhood and was ready to welcome it at once with songs of joy. In the year 360 it was celebrated in Rome by vast multi tudes thronging the churches. Twen ty years later Antioch had taken it up with great popular enthusiasm. And in a little more that fifty years from its earliest suggestion the ob servance of December 25 th as the day of the Nativity had become the universal practice of Christians. St. Chrysostom, in a Christmas sermon preached at Antioch, called it the fundamental feast, or the root from which all other Christian festivals tgrow., ' -r, - . :.. .v. - ; Hv.

We are not ignorant of the fact that the country is full of educational cranks and loonies at the heads of colleges, academies and high schools. And we also know the Legislatures and the Congress of the United 8tates are not without their political and educational cranks and fools, and we are not exactly blind to the fact that this broad land of ours is full of political editorial cranks, whose stock In trade is ed ucation and civil service nonsense and balderdash.' But all these facts combined will not justi fy any true Democrat or honest Republi can,' who believes' the States have any rights the Federal Government ought to re-: spect, in, voting for the Blair bill. It is considered a very small thing for the Fed eral power to invade the jurisdiction of the State by some, but ' it seems -to us a very grave subject; one that demands the seri ous attention, and earnest thought and prayerful consideration of all thoughtful men.

Too many people are trying to live in towns and cities, without work, who have no trades or profession. Cluhrlotte Democrat. .
