Lnntl Court in New Mexico; to dispense with the provision requiring soldiers mid bailors of the Mexican war or their widows to bo 02 years of age before they can receive a pension; to imposo certain duties upon the department of labor; for the relief of Mrs. Mary L.

J. Harris, A. J. Settle and numerous others asking increase of petitions. He also presented petitions of James Naylor and V. J. Owens to the charge of dersertion from their record. There is no man in Congress who looks after the interests of his closer than Gov. McCreary and he serves them faithfully without regard to politics or favor. The Somerset Reporter,- which seems to have assumed the role of censor for this paper, says that it "rarely fails to strike a blow at the people who oppose the liquor traffic at every opportunity." As that paper sometime ago admitted it was a lying sheet, it is hardly necessary to notice this prevarication, but for fear some wayfaring man or n fool may be led into error thereby, we will state our sympathies are always with temperance people and for any sensible effort to curtail the evils of the liquor trailic, but we have no patience with hypocrites whether they call themselves prohibitionists or ussume any other cranky or impracticable dogma. Ib the thick caput of the critical censor capable of catching on to the difference between opposing cranky ideas and advocating sensible methods that experience has taught are the only practical ones for dealing with an acknowledged evil ? 'The Congressional committee appoint ed to investigate the Silcott defalcation finds that the government is better able to lose the amounts than .the Congressmen and have accordingly suggested that everybody and everything be reimbursed. Judge Holmau, the honest old and another member make a minority report against the government footing the bill. The majority report is very much like n salary grab, but is nothing more than might have been' expected of men pecuniarily interested in the result of their investigations, though it seems to bo a great stretch of the conscience to report as they did. Se.vatok Gokman, of Maryland, claims 'that ho has been cured of neuralgia by following the advice of an old woman to wear a nutmeg to a string mound his neck nnd placed so as to rest directly upon his breastbone. Tho Senator finds it quite dilllcnltto keep it in place, but the ladies, or rather most of them, are better formed thereabouts for keeping the nutmeg in position, and to them we recommend tho remedy. Another mile-post on the journey of life is ubout to be passed, which causes us to note the rapid ilight of time. ''Christmas, 1SSD," is already insight and again would wo return our thanks to a liberal public for increased favors and wish each and every one of our patrons a joyous and happy season of good cheer. Speaker Rked is a vindictivo animal. In making up his committees he left Representative Cheadle, of Illinois, entirely out, because he led tho bolt which resulted in tho election of Chaplain Mil-burn. Mr. Cheadle will have plenty of spare time, wliieklio Van put in worrying the man who Bimbbcd him. "Hell hath no fury like n woman scorned." This was terribly evinced at Milton, W. Vn., Saturday, when Jennie Taylor throw boiling water into tho face of George Wooler, puttingout both his eyes, because, sue alleged, he ruined and then refused to comply with his promise to marry her. The London Kclio candidly admits that in order to secure its support tho candidate must pay 2.50 for his announcement That's cheap enough, to be sure. " Henry'Grady, the brilliant editor of tne Atlanta, Constitution, uying. in said to be NEWS CONDENSED. Congress has adjourned till Jan. 0. Shelliehl & Sons, paper makera, Albany, N.

The Chicago Herald intimated that John Culver, the Cronin juror who held out against a verdict of death, had been bribed and that individual has entered suit for 2o,000.

It is supposed that Slielnr, who had been drinking heavily, butchered his wife and children and then committed suicide. Prof. Carmichael, superintendent of n public school at Lowland, O., was detected sending obscene letters to his pupils, nnd ordered to leave the country within 24 hours. A coat of tar and feathers ought to have gone with him a?, such clothing would become the carcass of such a blackguard. A wind and rain storm did much damage in Pincville Sunday morning. Several dwellings and business houses were blown down.

Both beaver and otter will be largely used as trimmings, as well as in capes and the long flat boas that will again be worn this winter. Carmelite gray looks well when trimmed with natural astrakhan, and almost as well when the fur is dyed black. Hats and muffs are made to match the fur on the dress, and even bonnets have a little of it introduced in order to bring them into harmony with the costume. Dresses are to bo much trimmed with Astrakhan this winter, whether in it natural tint of gray or in black. Bands of the fur aro introduced ujon the skirts, and others of less width trim tho bodices. The latter aro often scarcely more than n hem or border, though tho collar is always wide and protective. Sealskin coats are made in tho smoking jacket shape, which has proved so popular. On a fine dny they can be worn thrown open, nnd on n cold one they nro fastened in a moment across the chest, where the fur is then double.
