She gattg tetomn. ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY i)Ea.iniJi:25,j6S3 CHRISTMAS. Whhthei: baiioatli lbs stars of Gal ilee, the Southern Cross, ' or in the shadow of the Northern pine, the birth of Christ is annually commemo rated by a large proportion of earth's dwellers. To-day the story of his advent is told in countless churches, the lesson of humility is taught therefrom, and the principles of "peace on earth, gooO will to man" inculcated in various ways. Christmas is a season ot joy, of gladsome feeling, of good cheer and pleasant reunion. Xo one is insensi ble to the pleasantness of the hour, and evervoiie is the better for its coming. To us on this favored Pacific coast Christmas comas with warm breath, green hillsides, the plash of the rain insuring abundance. It does not seem long since we were celebrating the last Christmas. "We were thinking about it then just as we are thinking about the prcsont; making our few or many preparations therefor. It passed; went into the groat abyss that swallows uptime: and soon the Christmas of the past was almost as if it had never been It will be so with the present; it came, it went; and now only the memory of it, It may, however, have left an im prossion upon us: not very deep, still an influence for good, even if only a little. "We mny not be able to gather up all its good; but. we may get some of it. If we understand it, the great, les son of the dav is kindness kindness at home, kindness to those not of our home. So that we have given to us one day of the voor at anv rale, that without seeming to be craven or un manly, we can go to any we have of fended, or that have offended us. mid may. with great propriety, say to thorn, "It is the season of the year that has for many years been dedi cated to peace and go.od will; let us keep the day in this manner, and permit the past to be past, and w be at pence one wiUi the ;nother." Such is one way that this season does good. It is not impossible that in our fami lies there may not be as much of the gentleness of Christ as Uicir might be: there are n jK-rfeci iiomes, any wore haa tbtircaiv ;xTeet christians. And yet nearly all our eartkly happi ness must couaa from our Ikhoc life, or w sUtud a poor chance of getting !:ttpMttesg out of this world at all. Heace if thk season Ia dedicaieA to the great matter .if boro. poiiiettess. home love, hoiue obedience, there Aveukl lve an increase of happiness. Thereat; none of as m ha;ry llict we caw afford to throw away the pleasures derived from oic enjoy ment, and -with kindliest reelings to all we find our irnest and most last ing enjoyment m the home circle. Tun Manitobans still talk seces sion, and demand that ilK'ir wrongs be redresood. Tn a speech at Winni peg last'Thursday, Col. Atwood urged the importance of going to the fool of the throne, where justice alone could be obtained, and pointed out that the interests of the ieople of tho oastoni provinces were totally op posed to theirs. "We could not ex pect justice from them. It was no use to goMo Ottawa, where tho gov ernment was controlled by the Can ada Pacific railway. The British na tion is a nation of shopkeepers, who are ready to extend their trade in all directions, and if we open onr ports to them they -will come and deal." He prophesied that the lime would come when all would believe as he did -that the occasion had arrived for a now confederacy, and the time had come when they can form a new confederation extending from Lake Superior to the Pacific ocean. Mr. Arthur and his friends met with a severe defeat in the failure of their effort to have the next national convention of their party held in the east. It diminishes his chances for nomination if he really desires one. He ,and they should not despair, however, because they have been b eaton by the western hotel men and the western railroads. These people do not inake a candidate. There is ample time between this and the leafy month of Juno to pick up a majority of the delegates -whoso Yes" or No" will decide the fate of so many statesmen.' The thing for Mr. Arthur to do now is to send the "old machine" to the repair shops. When- Hon. "Win. D. Kelley was a young man ' he 'and Representative Randall's father were one day talldng together with an 'eminent doctor in Paris. Health was the topic of con versation, and "young' man?' said the doctor to Mr, Kelley, "if you will mako it a rule, never to get exhausted so long a"aparfr of the day remains inVhichyou have anything to do, you will' live to be as old as I am." "I followed the advice," said Judge Kelley to a Cleveland Leader corres pondent, ''as far as I could, and I have already lived to be older than tho gray-haired doctor or 'Sam' Ran dall's father."
