In Verm 1 liIon county, refuses tu preach any longer to his congregation until the members, who are mostly Republicans, return to the Democrats the money they won from tbem on eleetlon. Our exchange does not say bow much the preacher lost. WB would call the especial atten­ tion of oar readers to the prospectus of the later Ocean for 1889 which can be found in this issue. It is one el the stanncbst Republican papers la the North-west, and did more than any other paper In the United States towards the election of Harrison and Morton. Read th« prospectus and if you want a city paper we take pleas­ ure In recommending the Inter Ocean as Brst-class in every particular. AN exchange says the right thing In the right place when it remarks "Those who do not know the worth of ntoney can never appreciate thl mis­ ery they often cause when the? do not pay their obligations promptly to those who are needy. One dollar promptly paid, will.

IIv long odds this is the jolllest Christmas book we have yet seen. Hon. D. N. Richardson says: "If you don't get a supply of it Into my ward soon the neighbssrs' children will tear my h:;i;se down." Critics of all elaesrs commend It. Major General O O. Howard says: "It is singularly happy, and will be popular among old and voung." The eminent novelist, Geo. W. Cable, says: "His pnges are ever welcome visitors In a house with children In It,* while the elegant Amelia Rivers writes "one does not bave to wish one's self a child again co enjoy such books, because one feels a child still after reading them" Gen. Lew Wallace pronounces it "An ex­ quisite Christmas present for the little oaed of a household," while Mrs. Lew Wallace declares, "Many a child will dance with delight over this charming Christmas gift. From an avalanche of such commen­ dations one more should be added, ftobert J. BurdeUe, the noted burner 1st, exclaims, " Happy and gifted in­ deed is Pakaer Cox, who c»*i take a pencil in one hand and a pen in the other and draw plotures and write poems for all sorts of people, from the ages of Ave to fifty.* Iu all of which praises we heartily concur.

The play was takeu by tbe management of the Chi­ cago Opera Hons* to tii« E iit, 10 Bos­ ton and l'nliadeiphia, and It wa> pre­ sented last :Momiay night at the Hear theatre. New York City, Tbe same success has' atten led tbe performance of the .jleee in those cities that at­ tended its ru<i here; thi audiences have only buwu limited by thesfzsof tbe theatre. New York has always glven'the West its spectacular pieces, uow the West is reciprucatlng. It would be impossible to {five the readers extracts trom ail the papers of those cities, to show the enthusiasm with which tbe piece has been greeted# but we.might take the more Important ones, simply to illustrate the opinion ot the different c.ties. "The dear eld story,"aaid the Boston Herald, "of childhood's happy days has been re­ tained, but its scenes have been Inter­ polated, amplified and Idealized to a bewildering extent, and the result is a show that dellgli is the senses and entertaln>* all. It presents a series of gorgeous stage pageants rivaling In wealth and color^in originality of design and beauty of tableaux any similar production of recent years. * * * There are half a dozen or more sets which show the richej of the scene painter's>rt in the highest devel opement, and in every scene there has been-the mogt lavish outlay to com­ plete and perfect all its details; * * In tbe costumes the imagination of the designer has apparently run riot, and such an array of odd concalts, strange combinations of color and eccentrici­ ties In shape and arrangemeut has seldom been seen." The Philadelphia Press-says: '-]t Is a brilliant speota;le, full of jfuu and frolic, and Was received by a qrowded bouse with enthusiasm. The" chief elements of the piece are bustle and rattle from the momeut the curtain rises upon the dismal abode of 'She' until the fioal transformation scene is hidden from sight there is one uneod- iug rush and hurrah, a march is suc­ ceeded by a chorus and that by a comic duett, then a dazzling ballet fills the stage until one wonders where ail tbe periormers come from. There Is plenty of iaugbter, some well se­ lected music, a*nam «f young women gaily attired, and set in seenery.ptten artistic and always telling. 1'bese are ail factors that go to make a great success.'* In New York the eutire Press were equally emphatic. , The piece could run a year iu New York but arrangements had been made long ago to briug it back to the Chicago Opera H>use where it will be seen In January. This will be its last appear­ ance In this city. 1 Biaak Leslie^ Sasttoy Jta£**lae. , The January numbar of this maga­ zine, coming out before ^e holidays, very prbperfy * devotes some of its pages to Christmas scenes, stories and poems. Beginning with a beautiful poem by O. A. Davil^ entitled Under the Mistletoe, A. D. 1187, we bave dis­ cussions on the significance of Christ­ mas, Christmas Custom* and Festivi­ ties, Christmas Street Music, and Christmas at Mount Yernoq, a poem by Etta W. Pierce. Tnere Is also au article From Bethlehem to Calvary, with four full page pictures of actual scenes in tbe Holy Laud from recent photographs, a very Interesting arti­ cle ou tbe Legend of the Holy Grail, aod a oaustic one ou the firm of Push and Pull by Dr. Talinsge. In addition to this special holiday reading, there are other good articles. The Last ol the Pines, by W. H. Ballou, is well written and Illustrated, and Darwin, is an Interesting sketch of the career of that famous man. Pompeii, by Marc F, Valette, takes us back eighteen centuries, and Ouly a Heap of Rub- olsb, by Adelia Beard, Is essentially of to-day. The serial story, Gene­ vieve, Is continued, and there are two short st >rles, besides mauy short arti­ cles, bright poems aad beautiful pict­ ures.
