Christmas.
The immortal Charles Dickens thus
expatiatcs on the festive Christmas time
in his chronicling of the wanderings of the
adventurous Pickwickians:
“And numerous indeed are the hearts to
which Christmas brings a brief season of
happiness and and enjoyment. How
many families, whose members have been
dispersed and scattered far and wrdc,
in the restless struggles of life, are
then reunited, and meet once again in the
happy state of companionship and mutual
good-will, which is a source of such pure
and unalloyed delight, and one so incom-
patible with the cares and sorrows of the
world, that the religious belief of the most
civilized nations, and the rude traditions
of the roughest savages alike number it
among the first joys of a future condition
of existence, provided for the blest and '
happy! How many old recollectiops, and
how many dormant sympathies, does
Christmas time awaken.
“Wewrite these words now, many miles
distant from the spot which, year after
year, we met on that day, a merry and
joyous circle. Many of the hearts that
throbbed so gaily then have ceased to
beat; many of the looks that shone so
brightly then, have ceased to glow; the
hands we grasped have grown cold; the
eyes we sought have hid their lustre in
the grave; and yet the old house, the
room, the merry voices and smiling faces,
the jest, the laugh, the most minute and
trivial circumstances connected with those
happy meetings, crowd upon our mind at
each recurrence of the season as if the lust
assemblage had been but yesterday I
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win it s
back to the delusions of our childish days ;
that can recall to the old man the pleasures
of his youth; that can transport the sailor
and the traveler, thousands of miles away,
back to his fireside and his quiet home.”

RANDOM RAMBLINGS. !
BY ROSIE ROWE, OUR RANDOM RAMBLER.
“A party who has given the matter
much thought and careful observation, as-
sures us that fully one-half of the brightest
and best young men of Norwalk either
have gone, or are now on, the downward
road to ruin from drink.”
I showed the above extract from last
week's Gazarrn to my sister’s husband
the other day and asked him if he didn’t
think it was a pity so many of our brightest
and best young men were volnnlar ' slaves
to the terrible demon of rum. He read it
over thoughtfully two or three times, knit
his majestic brow in deep meditation and
delivered himself of this profound philo—
sophical overflow of logic : “Undoubtedly
the Gazarrs‘s informant is not far
from right in his estimate of the
percentage of Norwalk’s young men
who, to a greater or less degree, are ad-
dicted to the drinking habit. If the per-
centagc were but a fiftieth part of his
estimate, it would be, heaven knows, im—
measurably too large. The facts are
undeniable, too, that the rate per cent of
young men who drink increases with each
generation, and that the boys of each suc-
ceeding generation begin to drink at an
earlier age than those of the generation
preceding. An exact statement of the
status would show it to be deplorable
enough. ‘ But One need not necessarily be
an apologist for the drinking habit, to
argue that the Gszam’s informant takes
an unwarrantably pessimistic view of the
matter and estimates from the standpoint
'of afanatic in asserting that ‘fully onc-
halj of the brightest and best young men of
Norwalk either have gone, or are now on,
the downward road to ruin from' drink.’
drinkers; those who have their appetites
under complete control and are fat from
being in danger of becoming drunkards.
He rejects the idea that moderate drinking
is less balcful in its results than excessive
guzzling. In this regard he is a theorist,
who stickies for the moral influence of ex-
ample, and hence is disqualified fora cool:
candid, practical handling of the subject.
He would disregard individual liberty in
saying to the man of strong will: ‘You
shall not take a glass of beer because
your neighbor, who will do as you do,
cannot stop at one glass.’ He is unwilling
to see it in any other light than that the
man who can take one glass and enjoy it
and be satisfied with one glass, is ‘on the
downward road to ruin' alongside the
chronic drunkard who would take the
bread from his starving family in order to
get liquor. Then again, his talk about
fully one—half of the ‘brighlcst and best’
of our young men is a severe strain on
poetic license. As a matter of fact the
‘bi'ightest and bcsl’ of our young men do
not ‘_furnish a large percentage of the
travelers who may be seriously considered
as treading the ‘downward road to riiiu
through di'ink.’ Well might we cry, God
help the nation! if this deplorable out——
look were real. The hell—bent cavalcadc,
on the contrary, is made up very largely
of the ‘stupidest and worsi;‘ of those who
by nature, inheritance and inclination. find
their congenial element in vice, shiftlcss—
ncss and laziness. Take for instance the
young men who find their especial delight
in the saloon—J mean those who may be
fairly considered as being ‘on the down-
ward road to ruin through drink.’ How
many of them can converse intelligently
on the topics of the day? Ilow many of
them, either by natural endowment or
educational accomplishment, can demon—
strate their fitness for positions of trust or
responsibility, or where ‘iirighlness’ is re.—

The New England Terminal Company.
The presrdcnts of the New York and
and Norwalk. railways went down the
with New York cily by boat. The cont-
puny is called the New England Terminal
company, and is located at Wilson Point.
The contract lo establish a . thorough .
freight line with facilities also of passen-
ger transportation over their roulc, has
been approved by the three railway coni-
operation shortly. It is said that they
will put on large bouts filled to transport
a whole train of loaded cars.
The Danbury and Norwalk railway up»—
plicd to the railway commissioners to
approve the extension of' lhc terminal
grounds at Wilson Point, and the np'b‘li—
cation has been heard and it is believed
already approved at Hartford. They
propose to add about nine acres of land
for a freight yard and ncccssaly buildings,
bordering on the sound.
. This is supposed to be done iil view of
the probable increase of business from the.
new terminal company. A new wharf
has already been run out 800 feet long
since the Danbury and Norwalk passed
under lhc control of the Housaionic road
two years ago. J. A. Bostwick‘ was
elected president of the Terminal com—
pany by the directors Wednesday.
Another thing determined Oil was the
immediate double—tracking of the line to
Danbury and Iniildiugacmihcclion at that
place across the Meadows to the Housn—
tonic track about one thousand ftct cast
of the Danbury track.

. A Beautiful Wedding.
One of the most beautiful socicly events
of recent years in Norwalk was the mar~
rings of Miss Lillian Selleclt. lhc accom-
plished daughter of Judge Andrew Selleck,
on \Vcdncstla ', to to Mr. William Wallace
Keys, .Ir., of Bridgeport. The happy
pair were made one by the Rev. C. M.
Sellcck, in that most beautiful and im-
pressivc of marriage services, the Episco-
pal form. The bride was dressed in white
satin, with diamond ornaments, and the
gifts of admiring friends were numerous
and most of them of real and substantial
value. The groom’s present lo2lhc bride
was a diamond necklacc,lhc father giving
her the family pet horse, carriage and
harness, her mother a solid stlvcr tea set ;
the groom’s father, mother and brothers
giving her costly presents in silver and
rich and rare articles cf virtu. Mrs. Wm.
I{.Jamcs sent her, as a bridal gift, her
check for $25, and there apparently was
no end of costly bi'ic a brac, metal ornit—
merits, banncl'ets, pictures, placqucs and
other ornaments and articles of use in the
most rare and artistic forms and devices.
Miss Sadie Lewis gave an oil painting of a
bit of Lake George scenery, exquisitely
wrought in the most elaborate detail by
herself, and showing the giver’s line
and most excellent artistic taste and
accomplishment in execution. lcv. Chas.
Scllcca, Rev. Colonel Anderson and Rev
Father Slocum were the clerical guests,
while large numbers of Norwalk’s best
people, her finest ladies and bravest men,
with scores from all parts of the compass,
Were present to extend cni'igratiilalions to
the happy pair and their deeply interested
parents.
Mr. and Mrs. K. left on the 4.40 express
forNew York, going through to Phila-
delphia that evening, of which city lhc
groom was a resident prior to removing in
Bridgeport. The bridal party will next
visit Baltimore and then Washington,
froui which city they return to their
future home in Bridgeport. The benc-
justify their claim to belonging to lhc
‘brightcst and best?’ Very few indeed.
And yet these b1car-eycd young bummcrs,
who neither would nor could maintain a
but illogical people us the Gaza'r'rn’s infor-
mant, who see talents wasted where no
talents ever existed. As ignorance and
vice go hand in banal. so you will find that
the great majority of the young sols are

philanthropists who will point to them
and groan and tell how brilliant they
would be if they would only let rum

The Housatonic Hearing
Yesterday at Hartford the railroad com-
missioners gave a hearing to represcntw
tives of the Housatopic Railroad Com—
pany, which asks permission to increase
the capital stock to the sum of $4,500,000
minimum or $6,000,000 maximum. In
behalf of the proposition were Professor
Simeon E. Baldwin, who is counsel for
the Housatonic road, President William
H. Slarbuck and General Manager Steven-
son, of the Housatouic, and President
Bostwick, of the New York & New Eng-
land. Mr. Stevenson explained in regard
to the large sum of money expended on
the Wilson Point terminal and what it
was intended to do in the future in the
way of improvements, the purchasing of
new transfer steamers, etc. The commis—
sioners reserved their dcci ion on the ap -
plicatlon, and then took up the application
for the increase of stock of the House.

plated may call for double tracking of the
Housatonic and also of the Danbury 6:.
Norwalk to Iiawicyville. The proposed
improvements will double the property on
which taxes will be paid to the state. The
minimum additional capital required is
$4,500,000. Colonel Stevenson explained
that- it will cost $100,000 per mile for the
twenty—seven miles of double track pro--
used to connect the Derby road, near
ew Haven, Willi the Daubury a; Nor-
walk, bya line nearly parallel with the
line of the Consolidated road, and running
through Stl'atford, Bridgeport, Fail-field
and Westport. President Bostwick, of
the New York 11: New England, agreed
'hat the double tracking of the Danbury
& Norwalk will be needed very soon and
the Housnfonic in the near future. The
Northern connections of the New England
system are to be extended as soon as pend—
ing negotiations are concluded. The sum
of $4.500,000 is the minimum sum asked

Nine Million Witches Burned I
Sprcugcr computes that during the
Christian era no fewer than nine million
wiichcs were immolatcd. In England the
lust execution for witchcraft took place in
1716, but in Illinois as late as 1780 to 1790,
several unfortunalcs were put 10 death.

I had no hesitancy, however, in inf0i ming

was far fetched ; that a great many of the

who are actually “on the downward road

are among the “brightest and best ;" that
those of them who are not would certainly
be brighter and better without rum ; that

Men Are Just as Bad,
A woman, speaking of the attacks made
upon her sex for their methods of band—
lingilhcir skirts or busllt-s when sitting
down, carrying their parasols, and other
habits, says :
“I think three-quarters of such talk is
nonsense. Iam perfectly sure that Inch
have just as many marked habits as wom-
en. What can be more absurd, 1 would
like to know, than to see a man. cveiy
time he sits down, fling his coat tails wide
apart ? Then, again, that everlasting
twitching at the legs of his trousers, so as
to pull them up in folds above the knees,
and exposing generally the not always at-
ll'nciive top ofa pair of shoes, with the
strings tied in by a no means picturesque
knot. To me one of the repulsive habits
is the refolding of a handkerchief before
replacing in the pocket, which is quite
common among men. I always wonder
if the user is afraid of getting them
mussed, or only wants the outside fresh
and clean. As regards pulling down cuffs
so they will show beneath the sleeve, and
similar tricks, are they not every-day

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 2-1.—The steamer
Kate Adams, an elegant passenger packet
running semi-weekly between Memphis and
Arkansas City, was burned near Commerce,
Miss, about forty miles south of this city.
She was bound to Memphis, and had about
200 people aboard, including her deck and
cabin crew of eighty, twenty-five cabin and
sixty deck passengers, and thiity—flvo col-
cred cabin passengers
The list of the dead, so far as can be
learned, is as follows: Senator Coleman, of
the colored cabin crew; George Corbet, third
clerk, aged 39, who lost his life in trying to
save the colored woman on the lower deck;
he leaves a wife in St. Louis; Lee Finley,
colored roustabout; Hilliard Horton, Monroe
Jackson, James Nelson, Joseph Porter, An-
drew Rees, all of the colored cabin crew;
Frank Wells, colored roustabout.
In addition, about fifteen deck passengers,
four of whom were white men, were also
drowned. In the list of unknown were three
colored women and two children. They were
comingtoMemphis to spend the holidays.
The whites had been working on the levees,
and their names and destination are un-
known. Later accounts, while not stating
with any degree of certainty, seem to indi-
cate that the loss of life may reach thirty-
flve or fifty lives. No additional names are
~ given. .
The fire caught in some cotton near the
forward end of the boilers. The passengers
were at breakfast, and when the alarm was
given they all made a rush for the forward
deck. At the} time the steamer was about
three hundred-yards from the Mississippi
side‘of the river, and her how was at once
headed for the shore. Pilot J. A. Barton was
on watch, and he remained heroically at his
post until she was safely landed.
Harry Best, the second clerk, who was
seated at the table when the alarm was
given, had brought all the ladies and chil-
dren forward and assisted them ashore.
Capt. Mark Cheek, who was on the hurri-
sane deck, remained there, giving his com-
mands until the stage plank was safely
lowered. Theflre by this time had spread
through the cabin and he was compelled to
retreat to the rear and climb over the rails
and descend to the cabin. Here he
found Chief Clerk W. C. Blanker, who had
made an effort to save the money and papers
of the steamer, which were in the safe. He
managed to grab the money, but was cut off
from the bow and' forced back into the
cabin. Ashe was groping his way aft he
stumbled and fell over some chairs and lost
all the valuables he had secured, and it was
with great difficulty that he succeeded in
reaching the rear through the blinding
smoke and flame which filled the cabin.
Capt. Cheek seized a life preserver and, pine-
ing it. on Chief Clerk Blanker, helped him
overboard into the water. He floated down
about three miles before he was rescued by
parties who had swam ashore and followed
him down the river.
Capt. Cheek assisted several others in se-
curing life preservers, and when it was no
longer possible for him to remain without
being burned, he, too, jumped into the river
and swam ashore.
There was about twenty-five colored cabin
pmengers who were saved along with the
white passengers. On the lower deck, how-
ever, a fearful panic seized the crew and deck
passengers. , Those who were cut off from
escape from the bow were compelled to jump
overboard tosave their lives. The stem of
the burning steamer had swung out into the
river, and in the effort made to launch the
yawl it was capsized by the crowd which
filled it, and many of its occupants drowned.
They were mostly colored men, but there
' were three or four women in the crowd.
The buring steamer drifted away after lay-
ing at the bank for twenty minutes, and
floated down the river, her hull sinking at.
the head of Peters Island, four miles below
Commerce.
There were 167 from the ill fated steamer
that came to Memphis, Capt. Cheek defray-
ing the expenses of all those who did not
have funds. The passengers and crew lost all
their clothing and effects, and some made
their escape to the shore with but little cloth—
ing on, but were provided with clothes by
the kind citizens of Comoros.
Three of the colored cabin crew who were
rescued from the water died afterwards.
Their names appear in the list already given.
The water was very cold and benumbed the
limbs of those who jumped overboard, and
Er asset‘stbn‘i‘iiatssars wreaths
and bravery displayed by the officers.
Mr. John Woods Harris, a passenger,
jumped from the stage plank before it had
been lowered, and was internally injured.
Mrs. Dr. Harris, of Laconia, also sustained a
sprained ankle by falling from a cotton bale
in descending from the cabin to the lower
deck. Capt. Elisha. Evans, who is an old
steamboat pilot, was a passenger on the
steamer. He came down and aSsisted Clerk
Harry Best in getting the women and
children ashore.
The Kate Adams was owned by the Mem-
phis and Vicksburg packet company, of
which Major John D. Adams of Little Rock
is president; Capt. Mark R. Check, superin-
tendent, and John M. Peters, secretary and
treasurer. She was built by James Recs 8:
Sons. of Pittsburg, in 1882, and cost $102,000.
She was the finest and fastest steamer of her
type, and her owners this summer spent
$220,000 in repairing her at Paducah. She
was insured for $33,750.
Her cargo consisted of 1,161 bales of cotton,
1,900 sacks of cottonseed, 87 bags of seed and
a. good list of sundries. The cotton was con-
signed to Memphis merchants and is fully in-
sured in their open policies. ‘
A New Church Dedlcnted.
Parnnsox, N. J., Dec. 24.—The dedication
of St. Joseph’s Catholic church, in Carroll
and Market streets, in this city, took place
yesterday. The services were conducted by
Bishop \Vigger, and the attendance was
large, despite the fact that $1 admission was
charged. Pontificial high mass was cele-
brated by the bishop after the dedicatory
service, and the dedication sermon was de-
livered by the Rev. Father lVoodman of the
Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York.
In the evening the bishop celebrated solemn
vespers, and a sermon was delivered by the
Right Rev. Mgr. Concillio, domestic prelate
of the pope. The church is a large and elegant:
structure of brown stone, and the interior
decorations are magnificent.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—James Dempsey,
aged 27 years, of N o. 502 lVest Twenty-third
street, was shot and killed by his brother
, “'illiam during a struggle for possession of

been accidental, and before dying James said
that his brother was not to blame.

The Springfield Republican
The Leading Journal of New England.
Established in 1824 by Samuel Bowles.
lATIlY EIIARIIED All IMPROVED.
The year 1388 has marked notable events in the
liislory of The Springfield Republican, A new
building admirably arranged for the large and
growing business of the paper has been erected
and occupied. It stands on one of the most desir-
able corners in Springfield and is the property 'of
The Republican comphny. The paper has also
been enlarged by the addition of eight columns to
its quarto sheet, making its regular size 56 col-
umns. These improvements afford The Republi-
can better facilities than it has ever before possess-
ed for the performance of thework of a great mod-
ern newSpaper and the fulfillment of its duties 10
Int e and intelligent constituency whom it serves.
’ he Republican considers it in be the first of-
ilcc of a newspaper to print the news fairly. fillly,
intelligently and without prejudice. This it uh-
dertakes to do every day in the year, giving specs
in] attention audextendcd space to the local news
of Western Massachusetts, northern Connecticut l
Its ,
organization of reporters and correspondents tor ‘
and Southern Vermont and New Hampshire.
collecting the news in the territory described is
wonderfully complete, and the thoroughness and
promplness of its servuie is unrivaled. In Boston
and Washington The Republican employs trained
journalists as its regular correspondents to sup-
plement the news oi the Associated Press, and Ill
New York, Albany and other important centers ll
commands the aid of well-equipped crucial corre-
spondents whenever occasion demands. _
In the treatment of political and social questions
The Republican is thoroughly independent. it
stands up always for the real interest of lhc peo-
ple us against monopoly. corruption, coercion, ile-
cepflon and every form of demagoglsm, It counts
the welfare of the country as of more consequence
every time than the success of any party. It seeks
to be brond-miudeu. generous, fair and good-fem- ,
pcred in its discussion of public affairs, and to rep-
resent- always the true American spirit. The Re-
publican devotes liberal attention to literature, to i
science, lfo education, to all social and economical
questions. Besides glvinglls renders “ All the
news and the truth about it,” this paper offers
llieni daily all abundance of excellent. iuisceilan- .
cons reading, luslrucllvc, entertaining and int. r~ .’
csling.
THE SUNDAY REPUBLICAN.
Is prepared with special pains to meet the needs
and taste of the New England public, It presents
the news, local and general. in readable and iii-
tractlve form. It always contains a pleasing orig-
inal story or sketch 8 good sermon, a depart-
ment for children, the latest news from the mea-
Ires and of out door sports, a literary column, in—
terestlng home and foreign correspondence, a full
editorial page covering a wide range of live topics
local sketches, original poetry, etc. It is II. whole-
some, hewsy and interesting journal well suiied
to the day of rest.
THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN.
Has often been called the best review of American
life anywhere published. it is carefquy edited and
gives all the Important news and discussion of the
week in compact and well arranged order. It con-
tains also several pages , of general reading, elu-
britclng the best stories, correspondence, sketches
and special articles that have appeared in the daily
and Sunday editions. The recent Increase by eight
columns of Its size, allows the addition of much
valuable and elm-naming matter and makes The
Weekly Republican more than ever a model Izlm-.
ily journal. ‘
