M fluty re. up to the times, laid In a hujjctiud well selected stock of Xmas presents which were nearly all taken by Koine one as expressions of good will towards their friends. It i: strange that at such a time of general good reeling, any person win sloop so low in gratifying their depraved disposition, as to try to put a public slur upon in dividuals who are well inclined, by placing on the tree a rag or toy doll, or a bottle of castor oil, or any such re membrance. It may bo fun for the giver but not for the receiver. Such public expressions are wholly uncalled for at such a time. Chips from Oapao. C.S.

The weather is cold, and to-dav we heard a wagon complaining because its owner did not use sleighs. One of the questions which seem to agitate the minds of some of our think ing people, in this vicinity, is: Why do Americans eat turkeys instead or geese or other birds on Thanksgiving day V Will some one explain ? We never fully realized, until this winter, the debt of gratitude we owe the good old St. Nicholas. Rut owing to an enormous increase' of business and the uncertainty of the weather du ring Xmas week it was not convenient for the good old Saint to personally at tend to bis numerous customers in this burg. So he concluded to deputize some philanthropic person to carry out bis plans. The person selected was our big hearted merchant. Anytime dur ing Xmas he might be seen entering houses on Commercial Street not by way of the chimney but through the door way laden with numerous parcels to gladden the hearts of those within. We were not forgotten, Oh, No! We were presented with a couple of two-for-five and the remembrance of the motive which prompted the gift will continue one bright gem in Memory's casitet. Kit Karson.

Work will commence on the building March 1st. The Xmas tree held in R. G. Brown's hall in connection with the Literary Society proved a splendid success. The regular programme was interspersed with selections from Snyder's orchestra and songs by Miss l'urdy and others, including Ren Powell and Noble Grace who fairly brought the house down by their first appearance before an audi ence. Santa Claus appeared at this stage of the proceedings and at once proceeded to divest the tree or its val uable presents after which followed music, speaking. tc. Much credit is due R. (J. Rrown and family for their untiring efforts to make everybody happv and the tree a success. Tie St, Clair River Tunnel. The work now in progress is the sinking of a shaft 8xlft in size and near ly one huudred feet deep. From such a shaft on each side of the river the preliminary tunnel six feet in diameter will proceed and join under the center of the river. The men will be divided into three gangs, working eight hours each. It is calculated that it will take about eight months to finish this pre liminary tunnel. This six-foot tunnel will occupy the exact center of the pro- Eosed main tunnel and will be used to ring in materials when the work is proceeding in the larger tunnel. The workmen engaged in tno tunnel will be supplied with fresh air by means of powerful blowers. Light will be supplied by means of incandes cent electric lights. The contractors have a complete Edison plant for fur nishing these lights, which will soon be in position in the building on the river bank. The railroad tunnel will emerge from the ground about a mile back from the river somewhere in the neighborhood of the Upton Works, it will run about the same distance on the Canada side. The distance from one shaft to the other across the river is 2,5uo feet, which would make the complete tunnel about two and one-half miles long. It is esti mated that it will cost about 2,n0.X)0 for a single track tunnel. Then if bus iness demands another similar tunnel can be constructed.

The J anuary number of Li it iffCOTx's Monthly Mauazinh presents a splen did array of names; Julian Hawthorne, Sidney Luska, Austin Dobson, Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, Walt Whitman, Kdgar Fawcett. and Rarrett Wendell. J uliaii Hawthorne contributes the com plete novel Sinflre, which is as weird aud strange as its title. Sidney Luska has a novelette called I he story or Angela, whose tender poetical pathos reminds one of some of the best ajid purest ' of Ouidas shorter stores. Austin Dobson has a brilliant little satirical, poem. The Water of Gold. Miss Cleveland's contribution also is a satirical poem. The Dilemma of the Nineteenth Century, and it is especial ly interesting as the first presentation sue has ever made of her views upon the woman question. The poem is cast in narrative form. Walt Whitman, under the title of My Rook and I, discusses his . own poetical theories and gives some valuable and entertaining bits of self-criticism. Edgar Fawcett asks, Should i;ritics be uentiemenr and in the course of his affirmative answer to this question he manages to deliver some hard raps at his own critics. Rarrett Wendall has an essay on Social Life at Harvard, which is not only full of, interesting details in regard to undergraduate society, but presents much matter for serious thought. A short criticism of The George Move ment, by Wm. II. Babcock. gives some filain common-sense views upon the and question, and there Is a report of anfentertaining conversation between Senator Ingalls and Mr. Ho wells, in which the former discusses Cleveland and his policy, and the latter gives some views upon literature.
