There was considerable variety about the weather yesterday, rain, hail, sunshine and wind, mostly wind. For awhile it looked wintry, but to ward sundown the sky began to laugh, three or four rainbows began playing tag up and down the river and the firs across in Washington glittered in the level rays of the sun. This evening Gushing Post Cornet band will have a concert and grand masquerade ball at Ross' opera house and expect to see their friends. They will do their part to insure a pleasant evening.

A warrant was issued Tuesday for the arrest ot Mclntyre, who, it is said, has skipped across the. river. The charge against him is one of mayhem, it being alleged that he bit Ward in the face aud on tue boay.

And So the Ceaseless Stream Baas On. "Gone! Gone forevsr! like a rush ing wave, auother year has burst up on the shore of earthly being and its last sounds are dying to an echo." It has always been the fashion to greet tho new year as a friend. We sentimeutalize over the milestone in the endless road of time which we call the beginning of i year. It holds hope, success, happiness all the goods of the gods in its keeping. It is to measure out our joy and supply our sorrow, and so we meet it with propitiatory advances, hoping, nay, half believing that according to our cordiality will it bo unto us. We have pictured the New Year as a rosy boy, bright with the promise of gladness, flushed with the spirit of joy. We have fancied it climbing the hills in a halo of gold, bringing with it sweet odors from the unknown Gardens of Peace. To the Old Year wo give the aame personality Time has worn since mor tals made him figure in their calcula tions, that of a withered old man, whosegsickle falls from his nerveless grasp as the midnight bells ring in his successor. He is dropped from mr lives like a worn out garment; but ho holds his place in memory; io has recorded himself in histery: he was and is not. These mutations ot time we think tbout and commemorate, forgetting :hat thero was no old year aud is no lew; that what wo call marks on the dial of time exist merely in our imagi nation, and only enable us to space iff that bit of the ceaseless stream which we happen to be in contact vitb. We talk of the turning points jf time time that had no beginning ind has no end. Mankind has a fancy for philoso phizing on what it doe3 not compre hend. 2so subjeot receives more tttontion than Time. Tho schoolboy nakes it tho text of his first efforts it pinning thought to paper. The -ollege graduate gives it the benefit f his bookish intellect aud tawdry rhetoric. The professor desoants np on it. Tho sentimentalists harp thereon, and the poets mako it their pet Pegasus. Old. new Time; measureless, cease less Time. Wo talk of tho flight of Time of his swift wings, his pause less progress. We marvel at his rapid rowing when his boat is in .ight of the H ippy Isles. Yet we go; L'imosta8. "What is tho wisest of things?" isked an Egyptian king three thous md years ago, and a sago replied, Time, for it has found ont many mysteries already, and in the long run it will solve all." Aud so the ceaseless stream run u. That part of it we touch may be tnown bv auv name, it is so brief. et each mortal in the boundless -gotism of his soul feels that tho sun thines for htm. and for him also the jarth blossoms with verdure and dowers Around the little horizon .thick tuC CttCiuuslauCGs of his life nave made ho looks, in towering self consciousness, forgetting that the jhir iug cricket and crawling worm tre us great within themselves; for getting, too, that tho grave is in the distance. Thinking of these things we remem ber tho New Year; remember to smile at the similarity between it and the year just going, or tho years al e.idy gone. They differ no more han two ticks of tho same clock; hoy are only two atoms oi time. Vith one wo havo become well ac juainted; the other holds the hands A fate in its keeping. This new Year will be a year like ther years. It will have its full com plement of tears. It will hear the iound of laughter and the voice of nourning. Death will come into it. Poverty will stalk through it Hy pocrisy will walk pompously down its oroadest streets, while humility cow ers and shrinks at the corner. It will nave millionaires to amuse and beg gars to feed. It will hear the voice of mercy pleading for tho erring, and it will grow familliar with the sounds t woe. It will see fools flaunt their folly, and the wise wait in vain for the recognition ot their wisdom. It will luok upon Genius starving in its garret, and Mediocrity faring sumpt uously every day. These, and thou sands of other incomprehensible, in explicable, incongruous things it will see, because all other years havo seen them. The year will never dawn upon earth in which raso-ils will not rise to place, greed grasp all it can, liars wag their tongues to work evil, and thieves get e ery thing but justice. Meantime the weary business of life must go on. The three require ments ot civilized life food, shelter and clothing will keep the mass of humankind active. There will be the usual struggle for existence, the usu al fail ros and successes, tho unavoid able miseries and the wee, ephemeral bits of happiness. There will be the same mad march to the grave thai began away back in the trackless ages, aud will last until tho heavens anu earm snail pass ukb a Bcrou away. The year so soon to begin will be filled with tho same murmur of won de ringhumanity that has no "whence" and knows no "whither," which has been heard since there were ears to hear. To eaoh one, as the year holds the goblet of life to his lip3, it says: ''Yestebday This Day's Madness did prepare. To-Moaaow's Silence, Triumph or Des- pain Drink! for you know not whence you came, nor why; Drink! for you know not why you go, nor where." From the hou' we greet the new year with "Hail!" until tho day wo say to it "FareveM" it will only re peat the song of tho age, which no man has yet understood. Buo!(1ck'k Arnica aialrc.

Tho Reason Why He Is to Alaska. be Seat to Tho despatches say that Colonel Lafayette Dawson of Missouri, has been appointed by President Cleve land a justice in Alaska. About twelve years ago Mr. Dawson was ?fl most unheard of, Bave in the little town ot Marysville, where he had a law office in a little back room pver a bakery. His outfit consisted of a pine table, a copy of the Missouri statutes, a blotting pad and pen-hold er and one pen, a stove, with brick for the Ipgs, and a flute. Now ani then Mr. Dawson would have oc casion to consult the Jaw book on his table, bat most ot his time was spent in working up a sentiment in the community against himself on account of his affection for the flute. After some time had been thus wasted a county convention came along. A county attorney was to be nominated, and Mr. Dawson's name was proposed. The question was raised as to his legal abilities, but this was crushed by the remark of a delegate, who said it didn't "make a bit of difference whether he knew any law or not; if he was nominated il would stop that old flute music." Mr. Dawson was nominated aud the campaign began. It waxed hot between Mr. Dawson and his opponent. The issue was the flute. The point was made for Mr. Dawson, that if he should be elected there would be peace in tho community and if he was defeated the town would demand hU removal. He was elected and made a good officer. He soon showed that he was a prett) fair lawyer. After awhile there was a district convention to nominate i prosecuting attorney for tho judicial district composed of Atchison, Nod away, Hall and Andrew counties. Mr. Dawson began worrying the flute again, and refused to put it down un til he was nominated for prosecuting attorney. The same issue was raised in tho district, and on that he was elected. He showed himself a a till better lawyer, and won the title ol Major Dawson. A state convention was next in order, and Major Dawson aspired to represent tho county. A gentle protest was entered by a man named Moorhouse, editor of the county paper, who wanted to know if Dawson wanted the earth. The in quiry had scarcely been made when tho wheezy notes of the flute crawled out of the window. He was elected a delegate, and made a speeoh in the convention that astonished the na lives. When he returned he was Col onel Dawson. Since then he has oc cupied various offices ot profit aud trust and honor in his state. He has evidently beeu pla ing the old flute under the windows of tho White house. Ion't Scold. For the eake of your children, don't ilo it. It is a great misfortune lo have children reared :n the presence aw', undr the influeuce of a scold. T i effect of tho everlasting com- p'.tin.ng and fault-finding of such ! r.-uns is to make tho youug who I :r it unainiable, malicious, callous "c.u ted, and they often learn to take jdfiisure in doing tho very thing for nhirh they rpceive such tonguo- hings. As they are always getting :h blame of wrong doing," whether tlioy do it or not, they think they :n.ht ns well do wrong as right, tliuv lose all ambition to strive for 'hf savorable opinion of tho fault limliT, since they see they always strive in vain.

Cule Snj Granule Crusii Era The close of tha year brines every merchant faoe to face with the ques tions, " wnac nas oeen tne outcome oi the last twelve moths with me? HaTe I made a fair gain, or only held my own, or have I lost ground, and why?" The business man who does not settle these points at least once A year is working in the dark, and by most merchants an account of stock is taken and a balance struck, on January 1st and July 1st ot each year. If it were true that "figures will not lie," the task would be an easy one. But figures will lie faster than ahorse can trot, if not started in the right direction, and kept right, by constant care and watchfulness. The cook who began to count tip the number ot men for whom dinner was to be provided, with "the two Muiphys is one," let somebody go hungry thit day. And the merchant who does not carefully weigh and scrutinize the premises and data upon which his balance is predicted, will just as surely go astray. Figures will not lie when the case is correctly stated, tf the statement of stock on hand and good accounts i3 false orerrone ous, the figures of the balance will lie, and the merchant courts failure who allows his half-yearly balance to deceive him. The foundation of a useful balance sheet is a truthful statement of actual assets. To make mch a statement requires of some men more courage than to storm a jattery, and always calls into play all the qualities which go to make a suc cessful merchant It briug? a man face to face with every mistake of the half year. Every bad purchase, every oad or slow account i there and nust be met and disposed of, or ihiiked and run away from. The cowardly course is the easiest at the ;ime; and many merchants, too hon est to deliberately adopt it. slide into it imperceptibly from mere love of ;ase aud disinclination to face a disa greeable task. Tho other involves much work and often much tempora y mortification and bitterness of spirit, but it is the easiest in the long run, as well as manly, sensible and business like.
