The First Baptist church of
Providence broke away this year
from the Christmas precedents.
Instead of having a festival for the
Sunday-school children, the officers

each class carried a supply of
Christmas stores to some suffering

A dispatch from Carson, Xev..
says that Rockhill's resolution,
. offered in the senate, instiucting
"members of congress to vote
'against the ratification of the Chi

Jieans. The California legislature
Jiesitates to declare for or against
the new Chinese treaty. The
work must be 'done speedily in
congress Senator Knton says.
The Atlanta Constitution savs
Georgia wants shops, schools and
small farms. 1 he same want is
felt by some of the other states
particularly in the south. Georgia
has led off in her manufacturing
industries. She has now more
.cotton lactones than any oi ner
neighbors, and works up the taw
material on the ground where it is
raised. Her example is being em
ulated, and it is not unlikely that
in a few year the south will have
enough manufacturing establish
ments of all kinds to make that
section, in a large measure, inde
pendent of the outside world.
We ate in receipt of "An Open
Letter from .John H. Mitchell to
.Harvey V. Scott,"' uin answer to
his editorial in the Daily Oregonian
of December 1st, 1SS0." The let
ter bears date 28th alt., is address
ed to Mr. Scott as editor, and is
published by the National Repub
Jicau printing house, Washing
ton city. Republicans generally
throughout the state regret that
occasion should render such
correspondence necessary, but
all must admit that ex-Senator
Mitchell has handled his
subject, very nicely. In justice
to himself it was impossible to be
less vigorous, ami not to have
answered it at all letting it go
by default, as he 1ms so frofjuent
Jy done in times jwttot; would be
"wronjr, not onlv to himself but to
the party of which he is an able
and honored representative.

sjKrkhl, now glowed, now swam
with a luee.it moisture. Her fig
ure, so large am! massively built
as to suggest masculine strength
mid robustness, was yet graceful
in its motions and joses. Her
dress displayed her finch--shaped
arms and her full respirations.

oressiou of roidness and sense., sJZ.
A notion exists that Madame de
"Stael was a deelaimer; that she in
dulged in monologue; that she
talked for display. But tins is
not, 1 think, asserted by any who
knew her personally, and it is ex
pressly denied by those who knew
her best. It i incon.-istent with
her intense earnestness, iier trans
parent sincerity, ami her absorbed
interest in the subject she most
often discussed. Her object was
not to dazzle, but to convince and
to inlluence. Hence she never in
dulged in paradox, ami seldom,
except in a small company, in
playful raillery; while persiflage
was not only revolting to her, but
had the power to disconcert and
silence her a distinction which it
shared vith stupidity.
As to trivial gossip, she was apt
to interrupt it with remarks that
acted like a bombshell. There
were limes, though they were rare,
when her vehemence brooked no
contradiction, and others, more
frequently, when it hurried her in
to exaggeration; but in gen end
her utterances were marked by
the greatest candor and simplici
tj', and, were, like her nature, in
tensely sympathetic, appealing to
the knowledge, the intelligence,
the feelings of her listeners, ex
citing them to reply, arousing all
their powers. QiCen peuttzvous?
What do 3ou think? was the
challenge, delivered with a beam
ing smile after some transcendent
burst.
The witty Lord Dudley, who
was much given to abstractedness
in company, called her "a bad
neighbor; you would have no
chance to slumber; she would
have detected you instantly.1
Goethe, too, complains of her in
sisting always on a reply, "de
manding that one should pipe!
one's little sonj on the instant,' !
. . .
as well as her bewildering rapidity!
of utterance and the swift succes-'
sion of thoughts and images which
she evoked; while he acknow
ledges what grave its fiber to her
eloquence the force and sagacity
with which she discussed char
acters and events.
