Ttie Chicago Times expresae its
opinion of the Democratic party as
follows: "With John Morrlseey for
standard bearer in New York, and
Fernando "Wood for the standard
bearer in the nation, the rotten re
mainder of the putrid reminiscence is
certainly well and appropriately offi
cered. Congress will be. asked to extend a
tewing machine- patent, vhieh will
have the effect of continuing the sew
ing machine monopoly, for years. It
ought to be apparent to the average
Congressman, that extending monnp
poly patents wili, find even less favor

Mr. Nesmitb, once Senator, but
now Representative from Oregon, was
nominated by Andy Johnson as Min
ister to Austria, but Judge Williams,
then aSeliator from Oregon, prevent
ed the confirmation. Mr. Nesmith Is
now quietly chuckling over the 6b
gtacles which he has adroitly put in
the way of his old opponent.
The New York Evening Post says
the propensity of selecting Yankees
for office-holding is Illustrated by the
fact that there are about twenty thou
sand persons in Canada who have em
igrated' from the United States, and
this class have some half dozen repre
sentatives in the Dominion parlia
ment, who are among the most influ
ential men in that body.
The youth O'Connor, -who, some
sirae ago, tried to frighten Queen Vic
toria into signing a pardon for the Fe
nian convicts, is now in Australia.
The Queen interested herself in him,
shortened his term of Imprisonment,
and, when he was released; t had him
fitted out and sent away from Eng
land. He consumes his time with at
tention to some clerical duties and
and composing letters in verse ex
pressing bis gratitude to the queen.
"Old men for counsel and young
men for war" 'finds little support in
the cases of Alex. H. Stephens and
parson Brownlow. One- of them is
shrivelled away to eighty pounds of a
body, racked with pain, and the other
so weak that his .voice is no louder
than the whisper of a school-boy in
session, yet both are eager, for war
with Spain, and the annexation of
Cuba as they were when the news of
the Virginlus massacre first reached
us. -

The St. Louis Democrat and Globe
are having an animated, discussion
growing out of the latter belngr de
tected in surreptitiously receiving dis
patches the property of the former
and other members of the associated
press. The Globe attempts to ward
off the odium by charging that the
associated press is a bloated monopo
ly. True, but the proprietors of the
Globe, while owners of the Democrat,
were a part of said monopoly, .and
aided- in making It unyielding, and
unbeudiug to" outsiders. We speak
whereof -we knpw in thus alluding to
McKee fc Houeer, inasmuch as we
once published a literary paper in St.
L.ouia, ad desiring to. receive the dis
patches fresh- fKwu tke wires for our
weekly we made application for the
sftnoe, and through the influence of
the above-named gentlemen our peti
'tion was rejected, except on terms in
volving as much money for one
night's dispatches as the members of
the association paid for the dispatches
-of seven days and nights. Through
the Associated Press McKee & Hous-
er made their money, and it is barely
possible that through the same agen
cy they may loose it. But this cry of
"monopoly" will not avail to cover
np an established and proven charge
of theft.
NEBRA.S3BIA FRUIT PREMIUM.
Under the above heading the Lin
coln State Journal of Saturday says:
Our Kansas neighbor and others
have denied that Nebraska carried off
the first premium at Richmond in
1871.
We have just been shown by Gov.
Furnas a silver, medal, with this in
scription ;
"Nebraska State Horticultural So
ciety j best collection, of fruits, 13th
session, 1871 ; American Pomological
Society founded 1848" M a r s h a 1 1
Pinckney Wilder. President."
Also another silver medal. Inscrib
ed : "Nebraska State Horticultural
Society; best State collection apples j
quarter centennial -session, 1873" by
the same society.
This is authority none wili deny,
and we take pleasure in announcing
that we now have the "documents.'1

, brrBiany centuries before the birth
of. Christ,. Newv Year's day was cele
brated amongst the Eastern nations.
both as a religious and social festival.
With the post-biblical Jews the New
Year commenced with the autumnal
month Tisri being composed of apart
of September and October, and by
them was ushered in by great relig
ious pomp and ceremony.
The Romans made the first of Jan
uarynamed after their God Janus
a special holiday. This day wasthe
principal festival of the God, arid' as
the day was thought to he ominous of
the whole year they took great care
what they.did and said on that festi
val. They appeared on the streets
clad In festive garments, exchanging
gifts or presents, which, for the most
part, consisted of gilt dates, figs, and
copper coins, having on the one side
a double face of the God Janus, and
on the other side a ship under full
sail.
The Roman Emperors made the
festival one of great pecuniary advan
tage, and. ike custom of gifts of mucli
proftfc. to themselves. Place, power
ad- the lives of criminals were, upon
that day, often purchased by dona
tions of slaves, gold, or lands. But
this practice was finally prohibited
by a decree in the reign of the Em
peror Claudius.
After the introduction of Christian
ity the first four great councils of the
Catholic Church condemned the
practice .of celebrating the Calends or
&si of January , because of the heath
enish practices and: Ivwdt idplatriei
with which it was mingled. The be
stowal of gifts was rot confined to
thei Romans. The Drueds of Eng
land distributed branches ef the sa
cred mistletoe, cut with peculiar cer
emony, among the people, while the
Saxons of the North observed the
festival with great jolity and festivity,
and by sending gifts to one another.
In spite of the interdicts of the great
councils and fulminations of the
Popes, the practice nf celebrating the
day continued through the middle
ages. Henry the Third, we aro told,
extorted from his subjects, on New
Year's day, many great and valuable
gifts, while Queen Elizabeth's ward
robe and jewelry was almost wholly
supplied from these annual donations.
Under the Tudors and Stewards mu
tual wishes of a "Happy New, Year"
were exchanged amongst all classes
and conditions of society, and were
accompanied by gifts of orange? stuck
with clover or gilt nutmegs. The la
dies received gifts of gloves and pins,
or, in lieu thereof, money, hence the
terms "glove" and "pin money."
After the Crusades it became the
custom to usher in the .New tear
with great demonstrations of rejoin
ing. Loud and clashing peals of
church and cathedral bells rang out
the old year and in the new. The
somber Puritan prayed, with many
doctrinal quotations, the dying year
to its grave and the new one to its
dawn.
The Dutch of New York inaugura
ted the pleasant practice of calling
from house to house, exchanging
greetings aud partaking of good cheer,
which was freely set forth in every
household, and hence the custom of
keeping "open house" on that day.
And now to all kind patrons of the
Advertiser, who have been with us
through the various vicissitudes of
the year that has just past, we wish
a pleasant seat through the perform
ances of the new that is now com
menced, and hope that you may see
as many repetitions of the same &b is
good for you to witness, which we
doubt not will be properly arranged
for you by the Manager of the Exhi
bition. It may be that after a while
the light will fatigue the eyes, that
they will grow dim, the ear become
dull to the music, and life itself some
what weary, for we know that some
of the seats are hard and uncushion
ed, and there will be aching and tired
souls. But we are told that there is
another exhibition in which the scen
ery wili be lovlier and the music more
beautiful. Dear reader, we venture to
hope that both you and the writer
will be admitted to that better enter-J
tainm.e&t. aud that we may be seated
uot far from each other.
We wish you all a happj arid, pros
perous New Year; thank you. fox the

THAT CHRISTMAS STOUT.
I acknowledge the honor offered in
dedicating to me that enchanting
"Christmas Story," written by a
"gentleman in Brownville." It Is
evident his soul has reached the po
etry of life. All nature, to him, is a
blaze of glory, taking on myriads of
lovely forms. Humanity is robed in
the celestial splendors of Divinity.
He holds "the pen of a ready writer,"
and scenes of spiritual beauty .appear
before the mind of the charmed read
er, for no one but he who is dead in
the darkness and prose of material
ism can help feeling, h& magnatism
of a beautiful mind expressed in sto
ry. It Is evident, too, that thr "gentle
man" knows whereof he speaks, and
.may the clarlvoyant powers of " John
A-ech," -like the " beloved- disciple
John, on the Isle of Patmos," have
rapturous visions of tin " new- hea
vens, and the new earth, coming
down out of heaven, like a bride
adorned for her husband." And. may
he " hear and see of thtngs. which are
to shortly come to pass.'"

accepted the resignation otWfen.
Sickles. Mr. pushing has had S in
terview with the President and ac
cepted the appointment.
The above dispatch will strike upon
the senses of every true Republican
with such effect as to nearly take
away the breath. Caleb Cushing,
the Republican appointee as Minister
to 8pain ! A man who never .wan a
Republican a man who In 1861 was
not recognized even as a War Demo
crat. Why was he nominated for
that Important mission? What
claims has he on the party in- power?
True, he is a man of culture. But
the Republican party Is-ia the major
ity, and surely it will not be claimed
that the majority has to go to the mi
nority for a man fitted by culture or
statesmanship to fill the position of
Minister to Spain. The Republican
party has thousands of adherents ful
ly as well fitted for the position of
Minister to Madrid as is Caleb dish
ing, and the giving of the position to
him is. in our judgment, an insult to;
the party which vested President j
Grant with the power to Insult it !
Cushing has hung himself upon the
keel of every administration during
the past forty years, has sailed along
with each, pocketing handsome sums
as In the. Geneva Arbitration from
all on every available occasion, and
the public has been told to charge it
up to bis transcendent talent.
It is said that Cushlnc has accepted
the mission. Of course he has ac
cepted1 it. and if the Senate but rati
fies the appointment hewjll adhere
to it with the tenacity exhibited by
Parxon Brownlow and Alexander H.
Stephens to life.
If a New England scholar were re
quired for the position, why not have j
offered it to Emerson, or other of the '
hundreds of,.., Massachusetts scholars
whose heads are filled with cultivated
brains, hearts full of sympathy with
their government, and pockets a
empty as those of Caleb Cushing are
full of money.
We sicken as we contemplate this
appointment, as we confess, from a
partisan standpoint, for we believe
with Marcey that "to the victors be
long the spoil?." As well might a
nation go out of its boundaries to- se
lect counselors and agents, as for a
party to go out of Its own circle and
Into that of the enemy to find occu
pant for the lucrative and honorable
positions at its bestowal. We hope
the Senate willrefu.se to confirm the
appointment, though we apprehend it
will hastily endorse It.

Ghriitmns at Linden.
The people of Linden (Dist. No.
21) had a very pleasant Christinas
Tree gathering at their school houses.
The exercises consisted of, a song.
"Good Evening." prayer by Wm.
Haw ley ; sonr ; dialogue, David ami
Goliath; singing; description of San
ta Claus, by a little girl. Just as the
description was finished with the fol
lowing lines:
"But nnw-a days folks balUi their chimneys
snsmnll.
Thnt Santa Clans cannot get through them
all.
And bo he must come through the door I
suppose.
Which will be a great saving I'm sure to his
clothes."
the door opened and old Sauta came
in, dressed in hiM well-worn suit of
fur, and bending under the weight of
3ears and Christmas toys. He was
greeted with tumultuous laughter and
cheering by the closely packed audi
ence, who found it difficult to make
room for him to pass. The tree was
soon lit up when the curtain was
withdrawn and the children of Lin
den school gathered near It and sanj?
a beautiful Christmas carol. Happy
young voices rang' nut and bright
eyes danced with gfee. After the
song Santa Clause came forward an
distributed presents to the value of
over two hund ed dollars. There
were red cheeked apples and sugar
fruit, and every variety of candy for
the little folks, ready made clothing,
fancy dress goods, and almost every
kind of dry goods, plain and fancy
jewelry in abundance, and a few com
ic Rifts to old bachelors and othero,
which occasioned some mertiment.
"Good Night" was then sung and all
dispersed. The people of the district
wish to express their thanks to Misses
O. and J. Good aud Miss Hattie Good
of Glen Rock, and Mis3 Mollie Sny
der, of Peru, for aid in aingu.g.

Phtrosopttical.
To the Philosophical readers of the
ADVERTIS3R I submit the following:
According to G. P. Quackenhos. A.
M.. the law of gravitation decrease
the weight of a body as it Is raised
from the surface of the earth, accord
ing to tho square of the distance from
the center of the earth, and that all
bodies attract each other according to
the amount of matter contained, and
that the weigh t of a body decrease?
in passing from the surface to the cen
ter of the earth, according to the dis
tance paused over. aa,di at the center
would have no weight, and that the
quantity of matter weighs more at
the poles than at the equator. "
Itheems to me that the- laws are
either false or the assertion that the
weight is more at the poles than at the
equator is false, for if all bodies at
tract each other according to the
amount of matter contained.it i sure-:
ly a stubborn fact that the earth, con
tains the same amouu-tof matter, rel
ative to the body in question, at the
poles that it does at the equator, and
If it is nearer the center, (which It
would be on account of the depress
ion at the poles.) but as weight de
cr?aaeaas we approach the cpnter on
account of particles of matter left be
hind, it seems that the weight would
be less; as the surface is nearly flat
the horizontal attractipn.would surely
lessen the downward tendency. If a
second Newton will" arise from, the
wilderness and enlighten me- on this
subject he will confer a faor. Subi
