THE CAUCASIAN. Entered according to Postal La s at Clinton, N. C, as second cla? mail matter. CLINTON, N. C, JAN. 7,1892. Underpaid laborer ami overpaid Idlers are the ba if of thin country. There were 2,970,270,885 cigarettes used in America during the last fis cal year. The social treatrne nt of our working people as well as the nurubrr of our school and churches will ahv?ys form a perfect measure of morality. America has two great organiza tion OJganized monopoly trying to mAke slaves of men and organized labor trying to make men out of slaves. . Dr. Eugene Grissoni, who was for twenty years superintendent of the Insane Asylum at Kaleigh, is now an Inmate of a similar institution at Denver, Colorado. I own rnyselt the friend to a very Iree system of commerce, and hold It a a truth that commercial shack- jes are generally unju.n, oppressive and impolitic. It is also a truth that if industry md labor are left to take their own course they would generally be directed to those object8 which are tho most productive, and this in a more certain and direct manner that the most enlightened legislature could point out. James Jiadison. AN OUTRAGE OR BUSINESS. The present management of the telegraph service by the Western Union company is an outrage on business. At least 25 per cent, of the messages we have sent over the line were unsatisfactory either in the condition they were deliver d or the time in which they were delivered. The last case in point was Wednes day week.Everybody in this section were interested to know what would be the disposition of theclosed Clin ton Bank. We telegiaphed at 2 o'clock to Italeigh where the case was being heard before Judge Whi taker for the latest information for publication in Tin: Caucasian which went to press that evening. The message was received in Italeigh and promptly answered before 3 o'clock. The arswer reached us here that night at 7:4o after we had gone to press. There was nothing we could have published that would have been of more interest to our readers, yet half of our issue was printed before the me.-sage came. Such Inefficiency on the part of the company i? worse than stealing, "lhey not only took our money without giving value received, but robbed the people and the paper of the news. One great trouble is they do not employ competent operators. They attempt to run their system on a cheap John plan, yet chcrge exorbitant prices lor poorly sent and delayed messages. In most of the small railroad sta tions very cheap operators are em ployed. They are competent to handle railroad businoss because the same words constantly recur, but they break down on commercial and other affairs. Then these operators are bound to do railroad work first. They get no extra pay- for outside messages which are put on the hook, and are as likely as not to be w rtli f less when they reach their destina tion, as occurred in the special case to whLh we refer. As one proof of tho big profits in the teJegraph business, read the fol lowing paragraph which has just fallen under our notice: During the discussion of the postal telegraph measure before the Na tional Board of Trade in Washing ton, in 1888, Mr. Pope, a Chicago merchant, made an exhibit of ex perience in running a cheap tele graph serviee between Chicago and Milwaukee. The Wetern Union was charging for messages between Chicago and Milwaukee 20 cents for ten words, so so.ne private patties established a system of their own between those cities. Mr. Pope said: "We were not allowed to build our lines along the railroad on account of some sort of freemasonry existing between the railroad com panies and the Western Union com pany, and we hid resort to the com mon highway. After we had built our line we reduced our rate from 20 cent9 to 10 cents. Immediately upon our doing so the Western Union reduced its rata from 20 to 5 cents. With that o-cent rate against us we paid a dividend in one year as high as 40 per cent., and in two years we wiped out the en tire cost of the capital stock ot that line; that is to say, the whole sum was refunded to us." The Railroad Commissioa has power to regulate these companies, and we trust they will soon give them their attention. The above should have appeared n last issue. Ed. J THE NEW YOUR LEGISLA TUKE DEMOCRATIC. The courts of New Ytrk in the re cent election cases have decided in favor of the Democrats, by which decision the Legislature will be in the hands of the Democrats. This was a great victory for Gov. Hill, whorealiy was the moving power of this House to seat the Democrats, who were really elected, but who the Republicans were making a strong effort to unseat.

Mark our prediction. The predictions that are being scut out trom New York and published in the newspapers all over the coun try that the cotton crop will be uii: suallv lanre is without foundation and is wholly false. It is the work of stcck gamblers to aid them i l their speculation schemes. In fact we are in possession of reliable in formation which shows that the world' cotton crop, according to the estimates of the best experts, will iall under the published estimates by more than a million bales. Fur ther, we have in our por-sessn.n i confidential circular winch was in tended io circulate on n. inside among speculators 'which puis the cotton crop of the world at 1,300,000 bales short of the figures they have published to the world. According to their own estimate the cotton crop of this year will fall short of the estimated needs of the world at lea-1 600,000 bales. It is true we lost last year by holding back cot ton, but the crop was unusually Iarj,e which with a contracted money sup ply enabled the spectator to steadily push down the price. In fact we can seldom afford to try to hold a crop as long as a few money sharks can control the volume of currency. But with the great shortage in the crop this year it is hardly possible that they will be able to keep d'jwn the price if the farmers will hold up and stop selling. The followingrrsolution was offer ed before the Supremo Council of the Alliance at Indianapolis by Ma rion Butlei of North Carolina and unanimously adopted: Resolved, That being in posses sion of facts that are thoroughly re liable, which warrant us in a belief that a false estimate lias been imr posely made of the present crop of cotton, we feel sate in guaranteeing better prices if cotton can be held for sixty days. We know that many will be forced to sell in order to do themselves and their creditors justice, but let every man hold who can. POINTS ABOUT JANUARY LUA1 YE Alt. Dianus, or Janus Bifrons, was the old patty for whom tho Romans named this month. He was origin ally the janitor of the gods, and opened the doors of the morning for llosyfinger, or dawn, after whom came the Sun in his chariot; but later he was put at the head of the war office while Mars was the acting god of war. The old party, was re presented with two faces locking in ooposite directions, to indicate the uncertainties of war, whence he was named Janus Bifrcns, which may be Ireelv translated HolyTwo-lront. This just suits January, which onenr the year, looks both way in tide and is as uncertain in weather as war is in result. The most confi dent Wiggins seldom claims fore knowledge of January's weatner, while the goose bone and the corn husk are equally at fault. THIS JANUARY RISINGS IN LMA1' YEAR. Leap year we all know to be that one which has 3G6 rather than 30." days in the year; this was arranged so that the perfect system of time might work itself oat, and the 20ih day of Eeburaty is said to be the one upon whidh the sun frowns be cause somebody has to do an extra day's work. If according to sortie scientists "de sun do move," it is probably old Sol himself who has an extra hard time of it. This year is the' cue i four during which lovely woman has the privilege of asking her sweet-heart to be her very own. When this custom first came into use nobody knows, but if the legends are to be trusted it was leap year when Eve made her ap pearance in the Garden of Eden and suggested matrimony to Adam, but about this no man certain. WESTERN ALLIANCE MEN FINI NO FAULT WITH US. There is a tendency in certain Al liance and People's party circles to criticise those Alliance Congresmen who c ucused and voted with the Democrats ia the speakership con test. I am not one of those who find fault with such men as Colonel Livingston, '-Georgia, on this ac count. I give them all credit of sincere and honest motives. Mora over, I will say this, I believe tha these Alliance men who are convin ced that they ca.t gain the demands in the "Alliance platform through the Democratic or Republican party sh uld stick to that there is hope. Omaha (Xeb.) La oor wave (.Alliance Organ.) "COME UNTO ME, YE MIL LIONAIRES." If Jesus Christ had said, "Come unto me, ye millionaires, ye who are hepvy lad-Mi with gold and I will give you rest," his likeness would hang in the rogues' gallery; and modern methods of robbery would ba Christ-like. But he did not. He denounced usury, scourged thieves and asked labor to come unto him. Labor Wave.

New Vork.J Alliance men and honest men gener erally should stnJy the politics of tho country this vrinterasthey never studied the subject before. The political revo lution, which all close students of the situation feel is irnjiending, uii: wisely wrought out. or it will brin;. t be con sequences that will .-hake the 'foundation.- of govenftnent itself. Whether the influences now at work to change the political control of the country from the hanb in which it rests succeed or not. such a change will be effected in one way or anotner before many years have passed. The .sooner it takes place the more likely that it will be accomplished by bloodless, peaceful methods But it will take place nevertheless. How long, think you. can the central ization of power and wealth continne in this country at the present rate without provoking a world defying revolt from trampled human nature? And yet the people most in danger from such a revo lution set up a cry of "calamity howler" every time a word of warning is uttered. The kings of capital and power feel so secure that they will not even lift their eyes to see the things which they declare do not and cannot exist. If they but knew it, the "prophets of evil," as they call them, are their best friends, for did they but heed their warnings the conse quences iu the end would be far less serious to their worshiped hoards. But the utter blindness of the enemies of the peoxle to the threatened punish ment of their selfish greed is made plain in the political situation of the hour Control!'. i;r as they do both the old po litical putties of the country, they are ready to turn the machinery of both or ganizations against the Alliance and combinations of friends of reform. The hypocrisy of such a course is clearly pointed out by Tho National Economist, when it says: "For thirty years and more these two parties have been waging a bitter war fare against each other. The intensity of this feeling led to a civil war. This relentless hatred and opposition to each other has been continued until the pres ent time. During this long period each has condemned the other in unmeasured terms. They have charged each other, and in many cases proven it true, that they were 1 guilty of nearly everything that was vile or mendacious, that was corrupting or mercenary. "They have succeeded in dividing the people into two distinct campa.each pred icating its position on the folly or wick edness of the other; but when the Alli ance makes its appearance and shows up the true conditions of both, the- unite as one army to compass its destruction. What does such conduct mean? Have they been mistaken in each other all these years? Have they suddenly re pented and are now traveling the path of rectitude and honor together? Have they discovered that each has been pure and upright, while vilifying and tra ducing the other? If not. whence comes this frdtemal solicitude and brotherly interest? "The reason is apparent. They have adopted the plan of all conspirators united against a common foe, expecting each to resume his proper sphere when the victory is complete and safety as sured. There is nothing so vile or vicious that the leaders of the two old parties would not do in order to wipe out the Alliance. This union, partial, as it is, indicates weakness, and will continue to enlarge until certain portions of both the old parties unite firmly together in all parts of the land. All that is necessary for the consummation of this event is time. Give them plenty of time and continue the propaganda of education among the people, and the result is sure. "The near future will find the classes in both parties united against the masses, and then will come the end so much de sire! To unite plutocracy against the people is the one sure indication of the power and progress of the reform move ment. It is the harbinger of success, and the beginning of the end. Some very astute politicians have said that no one need be surprised to see the Demo crats and Republicans voting together in Everything points to a union of the political leaders of the old parties to crush out this reform effort, and when done a return to old issues and the old alignment will be made, and the reign of corruption and oppression again in stituted." Yes, it ia true that the old parties, constituted or controlled as they now are, oppose the Alliance because it is an educator. The boasted old parties of progress are fighting a great organiza tion because it attacks ignorance and dispenses knowledge. There never was but one outcome of a struggle of this kind. There have been many like it. and knowledge and education have al ways won in the end. So 1 sav let thu Alliance push vigorously its policy of euucation in run conhdence that it wilt overcome all obstacles and subdue all enemies. Let the Alliance supply knowledge and its members may be trusted to apply that knowledge in ef fective political methods. 1 am not in sympathy with the talk 1 hear occasionally to the effect that the people will uot longer consent to main tain two organizations the Alliance and the People's party and that thev will soon abandon the Alliance and seek their objects through the People's party alone. This is not right. The Alliance is no apolitical par ty, but is a great moral and aIpm. tional reserve force to push reforms ana eievate politics. If a dozen nev parties ar se it must do its work.

Hi Letter U Alliance Members f (he Hoo A boat the Speakership. The national congress hi begun its annnal wrangle. It ia too soon to offcT j criticism on the n.itional body, bat 'its j beginning and its composition are not ; promising The house is overwhelm ingly "Democratic." bnt the peculiar conditions make it difficult to under stand what the term "Democratic" means. For instance, there are "pre diction" Democrats, "tariff reform" Democrats, "free trade" Democrats, "antisilver Democrats, "free silver Democrats, "Cleveland" Democrats, "anti-Cleveland" Democrats. "Alliance" Democrats. "anti-Alliance" Democrats and perhaps Democrats of other varieties. The manner and method ia which all these various elements will bo able to harmonize so as to accomplish anything is a matter for interesting study. A great reform element arose in the country last year and claims to have elected thirty -eight men on its platform. Certainly there are as mcny as twenty seven congressmen who were elected by the Alliance people on the pledge to stand by the Alliance platform and prin ciples. All but nine of these congress men made haste to come to the national capital and go into a so called Demo cratic caucus, and they were very active in the support and election of a man for speaker who has publicly inveighed against a most vital part of tho Alliance platform. Some national Alliance of ficers who are not congressmen gave their sympathy and support to the elec tion of this speaker. They will probably have a nice explanation of thi3 action if they should be asked to account for it, and their constituency may prove gulli ble enough to swallow all explanations offered. Such explanations, however, can never be effective in bringing about the reforms to which these men were pledged before they were elected. President L. L. Polk, of the National Alliance, put himself on record by ad dressing to each Alliance congressman the following letter, written while the deadlock prevailed: JlY IJEAII Sill AND HaOTHEK I have the honor to transmit herewith an official copy of a resolution for your consideration, adopted jmanimously by the supreme council of Die National tanners' Alliance and Industrial union at its recent session at Indianapolis: "Realizing that tho action of the members of the Fifty-second congress who were elected by tlie aid of Alliance constituencies will have an im;ortaut influence upon the welfare of our beloved order, we respectfully request all representatives in said congress so elected to decline to enter into any party caucus called to designate a candidate for the oilice of speaker, unless adherence to the principles of the Ocala platform is made a test of admission to said caucus." Aa but few of the members of your body were present at the meeting of tho supreme council, and as the spirit and intent of the above resolution has been misrepresented by the partisan press of the country, 1 deem it my duty as president of that body to thus pre sent you with an official copy, and give you tho reasons which prompted the adoption of the resolutions as 1 understand them. The council regarded it as not at all improb able that among the aspirants for speakership of your body would be fonnd those who were strenuously opposed to the purp-oses and prin ciples of our order. That it was not at all im probable that centralised money power, through its various combines and auxiliaries, would endeavor to play a prominent part in the election of that officer. Tho supreme coun cil well knew tb.t by virtue of the prerogatives conferred upon ttiat officer, his official func tions and powers can be exercised with tre mendous influence upon national legislation through committees appointed by himself and otherwise. It was natural therefore that your brethren in the supreme council should have felt most solicitous (for reasons stated in the resolution) as to your action in this important matter, and especially in the event that through usages and rules of party caucus you should be forced to vote for a candidate or to aid influences inimical to our order and its in terests. Yon will note that the resolution Is simply a respectful request from your brethren through out the United States, through their accred ited representatives in tho supreme council, and who were duly authorized to speak for them. You will note that the resolution does not in any manner indicate for or against whom you should vote, but it leaves you abso lutely free to make your own selection, assum ing, of -course, that you will exercise every necessary precaution to guard the principles which we hold so dear and the general inter ests of a cause to which we are so thoroughly committed. The plain, simple and practical analysis of the resolution is: That we request all members of congress who espoused our cause and advo cated our principles in the campaign in which they wero elected not to voluntarily place themselves in such position that, under the force of party usage and party caucus, they would be compelled to vote for and indorse a man or men who are opposed to us as an or ganization. It asks no man to compromise or forfeit his fealty to his party, but it does ask those who are indebted for their seats to Alli ance votes, given upon their advocacy and avowed adherence to Alliance principles, to be scrupulously careful not to compromise or for feit those principles. The situation of the campaign for speaker ship today warrants the conclusion that the supreme council wisely and correctly antici pated the unfortunate condition of things which now exist. It is well and thoroughly understood that the great political powers of Wall street, Tam many Hall, the whisky ring and the railroad power of the country, marshaled under their respective candidates for the presidency of the United States, have selected their respective champions for the coveted office of speaker ship, and have given them such prominence in the contest as may enlist the aid and support for the one or the other of the Alliance mem bers of congress. I feel assured that you will agree with me when I say that the indorsement of any candi date who represents any of the great political forces against which the people are so nobly and earnestly contending would bo unfortu nate. They do not believe that in the matter of speakership that our representatives are forced, so far as tho great principles which they espouse is concerned, to "take choice be tween evils." In addressing you this communication it is entirely foreign to my purpose to indicate cr even to intimate your duty in tho premises, but, under the peculiar and embarrassing cir cumstances, I felt that I could not do less, as theoCicial head of t'..-s great order, that-1,-lay before you the expressed sentiment o' c ar order in regard to this important matter. 1 am, sir, truly and fraternally yours, L. L. Polk, President N. F. A. and I. U. The Democratic leaders of Kansas are bringing pressure upon the People's party leaders to fuse next year and take Kansas out of the Republican column. The chances are that the pressure will not produce the results desired by the Democrats, it seems that the People's party men have the idea that they can whip both parties. At any rate a defeat in a struggle against the field is better than fusion with the relics of the Kansas Democracy.

He could do the j ono thing just as well as he could do j tho other. No time to lose if you want to escape your sins, for "This year thou shalt die." Let me announce that Christ, the Lord, stands ready to save any man who wants to be saved. He waited for you all last year, and all the year before, and all your life. He has waited for you with blood on his brow, and tears in his eye, and twe outstretched, mangled hands of love. You come home some night and find the mark of muddy feet on youi front steps. You hasten in, and find an excited group around your child. He fell into a pond, and had it not been for a brave lad, who plunged in and brought hini out and carried him home to be resuscitated, you would aavo been childless. You feel that you cannot do enough for the rescuer. You throw your arms around him. You offer him any compensation. You say to him: 4 'Anything that you want shall be ycurs. I will never cease to be gratefuL" But my dear Lord Jesus sees your s?ul sinking and attempts to bring it ashore, and you not only refuse him thanks, but stand on tho beach and say: "Drop that soul ! If I want it saved I will save it myself." I wish you might know what a job Jesus undertook when he carried your case to Calvary. They crowded him to tho wall. They struck him. They spat on him. They kicked him. xney culled him. Tfcey scoffed at him. They scourged him. They murdered him. Blood!

The doctors held a consultation, and decided that a corpse must be dissec t ed or they would never know how to stop the plague. 'A Dr. Guyon said, "Tomorrow morning I will proceed to a dissection."" He made Ins will, prepared for death, went into the hospital, dissected a body, wrote out the results of the dissection and died in twelve hours. Beautiful self sac- rifice, looked you say. Our Lord Jesus out from heaven and saw a plague stricken race. Sin must be dissected. lie made his will, giving everything to his people. He comes down into tho reeking hospital oi earth. He lays his hand to the work. Under our plague he dies the healthy for the sick, the pure for the polluted, the innocent for the guilty. Behold the love! Behold the sacri fice ! Behold the rescue ! Decide, on this first Sabbath of the year, whether or not you will have Jesus. He will not stand forever begging for your love. With some here his plea ends right speedily. "This year thou shalt die.'' SALVATION CAXXOT BE BOUGHT. This great salvation of the Gospel I now offer to every man, woman and child. You cannot buy it. You cannot earn it. A Scotch writer say3 that a poor woman, one cold winter's day, looked through the window of a king's conservatory and saw a bunch of grapes hanging against the glass. She said, "Oh, if I only had that bunch of grapes for my sick child at home !" At her spinning wheel she earned a few shillings and went to buy the grapes. The king's gardener thrust her out very roughly and said he had no grapes to sell She went off and sold a blanket and got some more shillings and came back and tried to buy the grapes. But the gardener roughly assaulted her and told her to be off. The long's daugh ter was walking in the garden at the time and she heard the excitement, and, seeing the poor woman, said to her, "My father is not a merchant to sell, but he is a king and gives." Then she reached up and plucked the grapes and dropped them into the poor woman's apron. So Christ is a king and all the fruits of his pardon he freely gives. They may 'not be bought. Without money and" with out price take this sweet cluster from the vineyards of God I am coming to the close of oy ser mon. I sought for a text appropri ate to the occasion. I thought of taking one in Job, "My days fly as a weaver's shuttle ;M of a text in the Psalms, "So teach us to number our days that w e may apply our "hearts unto wisdom ;" of the prayer of the vine dresser, "Lord, let it alone this year also ;" but pressed upon my at tention first of all and last of all and above all were the words, "This year thou shalt die." iernaps it may mean me. Though in perfect health now. it does not take God one week to bring down the strongest physical constitution. I do not want to die this year. We have plans and projects on foot that I want to see completed, but God knows best, and he has a thousand better men than I to do the work yet undone. I have a hope that, notwith standing all my sins and wanderings, I shall, through the infinite mercy of my Saviour, come out .at the right place. I have nothing to brag of by way of Christian experience; but two things I have learned my utter ; helplessness before God, and the all ; abounding grace of the Lord Jesus. ; If the text means some of you, my ; hearers, I do not 'want you to be J caught unprepared. I would like to have you, either through money you have laid up, or a "life insurance," be able to leave the world feeling that your family need not become paupers. But if you have done your best and you leave not one dollar's worth of estate, you may confidently trust the Lord who hath promised to care for the widow and the father less. I would like to have your soul fitted out for eternity, so that if any morning or noon or evening or night of these three hundred and sixty-five days death should look in and ask, "Are you ready?" yon might ' an outDurst or uinstiaa mumpn "an swer, "Aye, Aye! all ready! CHARACTERISTIC LAST WORTH. I know not what our hist word.3 may be. Lord Chesterfield prided himself on his politeness and said in bis last moment, "Give Dayrolles a chair." Dr. Adam, a dying school master, said: "It grows dark. The i ...- i. courtroom, said in Lis last nv .menT. "Gentlemen of the jury, you will now consider your verdict," A dying play actor said: "Drop the curtain. The farce is played out." I would rather have for my dying words those of ono greater than Chesterfield or Dr. Adam or Lord Tenterden : "I am now ready to le offered and tho time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, 1 have kept tho faith ; henceforth there is laid up for mo a crown of righteous ness which the Lord, tho righteous Judge, shall give me." The sooner the last Lour comes the better if we are fitted for entrance in tho celestial world There is no clock ia heaven, because it is an everlasting day; yet they keep an ac count or tne iiasang years inxause thev are all tho timo hfarini? from our world Tho angels hying through neaven report how many turn s tne earth has turned on its axis, and in that way tho angels can keep a diary : and they say it is almost time now for father to come up or for mothei to come up. Some day they see a cohort leaving heaven and they say, "Whither bound?" and the answer is, "To briir' up a soul from earth." And the ques tion is akod, "What sou!.'" il;i family circle in heaven find that it is ono of their own numlier that is to be brought up, and they come cut to watch, as on tho beach we no v.- wiitc'i for a ship that is to bring our f ri ::d: home. After awhile the cohort will heave in sight, flying nearer o.r.d nearer, until with a groat clang tlu gates hoist and with au embrace wild with the ecstacy of heaven old friends meet, again. Away with your stiff, for!::::1. heaven 1 I want nono of it. Give me a place of infinite and eternal sociality. My feet free from tho c lods of earth, I 6hall bound the hills with gladness and break forth in a laugh of triumph. Aha! aha! "Wo weep now, but then we shall laugh. "Abra ham's begom" means that heaven has open arms to take us in. Now we fold our arms over our heart and tell the world to stand back, as though our bosom was a two barred gate to keep tho world out. Heaven stands not with folded arms, but with heart open. It is "Abraham's bosom." CHILDHOOD IN IIEAVELV. I see a mother and her child meet ing at the foot of tho throne after some years' absence. Tho child die .1 twenty years ago, but is. a child yet. I think the little ones who dL? will remain children through all eternity. It would be no heaven without the little darling-j. I do uot want those that are in heaven to grow up. We need their infant voices in the great song. And when we walk out in the fields of light we want them to run ahead and clap their hands and pick out the bright est of the field flowers. Yes, hero is a child and its mother meeting. The child long in glory, the mother just arrived. "How changed you- are, my dar ling!" says the mother. "Yes," says the child, "this is such a happy xlace, and Jesus has taken such care of me, and heaven is so kind, I got rirht over the fever with which I died. The skies are so fair, mother! The flowers are so sweet, mother! The temple is so beautiful, mother ! Come, take me up in your arms as you usih to." Oh, I do not know how we shall stand the first day in heaven. Do you not think we will break down in the song from over delight? I onto gave out in church tho hymn : There la a land of pure delight. Where saints immortal rcin, and an aged man standing in L-crot of the pulpit sang heartily tho verse-and then he sat dow: ing. I said to him after - ; '. ther Linton, what made that hymn?" Ee taid, ;;I cor! 1 :: ;t stand it the joys that are co; ." When heaven rises fcr the !oiol.;,-y, I cannot see how we can rise v. r : 11 if all these waves of everlasting de light come upon the soul, billow of joy after billow of joy. Mothivd; Jesus would be enough for the hr.:t day in heaven, yet here he approach es wren au neaven at ms uacu. But I must close tins sermon. This is the last January to some who are present You have entered the year, but you will not close it. Withiu these twelve months your eyes will shut for tho last sleep. Other Lands will plant the Christmas tree and give the New Year's congratulations. As a proclamation of joy to some, and as a matter of warning to others, I leave in your ears these five words of one syllable each, "This year thou shalt die." What Some Men Steal. It.is said that some men will steal anything from a hairpin to a red hot stove. That saying may be an ex aggeration as to the red hot stove, hut it is certain that some men will steal articles of very trifling value. To illustrate. A certain popular res taurant down town keeps a liberal supply of butter upon its tables, and its patrons are allowed to help them selves at pleasure. But there are no individual butter plates. A patron of the restaurant sug gested to the proprietor that it would be a good thing if he would put a number of individual butter nlatoa on each table, so that his patrons could use them if they wanted to do so. "That would cost mo too much money," was the reply of the propri etor. "Hundreds of men romp hen otwt- day who would steal the butter plates. Some of the people who come in here actually steal the bread plates, and they frequently take away tumblers and other pieces of tableware, and napkins they steal by the score. Knives, forks and spoons, too, are taken." New York World. raore'a Maharajah's Viiit. Before the year is oat England is to welcome another royalty in the wealthy maharajah of Mysore. His departure, howeyer, is attended by some difficulty, and certain prieets in southern India have been deputed to study the ab struse questions involved in the project before the maharajah Imperils his caste by crossing the "black water."
