THAT OI.D COAT,--It Is not quite good enough to wear on the street, but too goo<l to throw away. It lias a good deal of real service in it yet and i« warm and comfortable, but it looks a little seedy and I* frilled about the edges It lia*> been hung up in the CIO?Q£ awaiting a time when it may be needed, hut somehow It is never woro, is covered with dust, is a trouble for it is in the Way. is never used, and the moths make their nests in H. There ma)' come a joh when au old coat will came convenient, hut when the job comes the coat will hang there still. There i« a man who has no work, who lias a I org* family to snpitort. who has beeu unfortunate, that this vary old coat will keep Irom shivering. There is a bwy f«»r whom this old coat might be fixed over a little, and which would fit, him up nicely to go to school. There itre a great many better places for that old coat than hanging in tho closet in the way on that hook- If you have the right human feeling it will ?;lve you the 7ery richest kind of satis-action to bestow it somewhere where It will becto*' warmth and comfort. If you have a narrow, miserly feeling it will be a satisfaction to you to let it hang there and let the moths eat it tip. The old trousers, vest, boots, dress, clothing of all sorts that has yet ser­ vice in it, but which has been laid aside, comes under the same category with that old coat. : T ---- -- "'<.#<• ..

EDITOR PJUAIKDEALER:--A marry Christmas and. a happy Now Year te all, i The merry Jingle «f «l,lgh bells rings oat upon the keen fatstjr air, and we know that winter lias set lo with Its cold and snow. Now Is the time when tne little ones about the hearth are endeavoring' to unravel the mysteries connected with Santa Clans' advent and his wonderful passage down the chimney, etc. Some­ how or other, we were never very lucky In this regard. Santa Claus never found but one of our stockings aud that had a hole in it. Our streets are full jif teams nowa­ days. and our merchants were never more smiling and attentive. The hol­ iday trade Is oxcellent. and that, of course, makes every-ono happy. New Years' ove the A. O. U. W. give the play ot "Dora," under the management of Capt. Ames and the Marengo Dramatic Club. Immediately followiug the Marengo fire corps give a ball. All at the opera house. Come all aud have a good time. We wish to say a few words In reply to an article which appeared In the last Issue of tha Marengo He&ubNcan, signed J. K. Wheeler, and wa shall en­ deavor to be as consistent In oar posi­ tion as he was severe In his denuncia­ tion of the modern style* of dancing. And wo certainly think we are unprej­ udiced tn tlie matter for our No. 9 French Kips positively refuse to trip the circles and halt circles of the mazy waits. We will admit, for argument's sake, that the behavior of some waltz* ers upon tlie ball-room floor Is not what it should be. but because certain ones exhibit evidences of a questionable na­ ture, Is it just or right for us to say that these undue proclivities had their conception iu the ball-room and thus condemn the sport? ds it just or right for us to say that because an occasional couple manifest too much familiarity, that all lovers of the waits are morally degenerating and have a common ten­ dency toward that which is corrupt ami iincleau* Is it not compatible with reason and good sense that a Inly who l« pure and modest at home can maintain iter dignity while at a hall? It Is an insult to onr ladies when they wish to indulge in Innocent amusement te be charged with gross Improprieties of behavior. In no other way can the evils alluded to by Mr. Wheeler be so quickly precipitated upon us as in the course pursued by him. It is grossly unjust, absurdly Inconsistent, aud not becoming the enlightened age in which we live. Let Mr. Whaeler romember that his insinuations are base and un- gentlemanly. Let him remember that his Interference with the social affairs of Marengo Is uncalled for. Let him remember that he has ministerial du­ ties at Terra Haute to perform, and that all concerned would be nnder last- ing obligations te him If he Would IU- tend to them exclusively. ALGONQUIN.

AFTEn January 1st those of onr sub­ scribers In this village, who are now receiving their papers by carrier, will receive them through the Post Offices. The reason for this change Is that It takes a good deal of valuable time on the most busy day of tlie week for us. and as all go to the Post Office at least once a day It will be no Inconvenience to them. We trust this will be satis­ factory to all and will certainly be a great help to us. Notice* F. A. Parker, of the Parker Bouse wishes te announce to the dancing public, that N. E.

Now. I am just that ̂ cuns." But why not pay off Vanderbilt his $47,000,000 upon which he does not pay a cent of tax. aud which yields him au Income of between 93 and 94 per minute? Why not pay off the entire Natloual debt and establish our banking system upon some firmer basis than the Nations poverty? Let the bond-holder invest liU capital where It can be assessed the the same as the poor man's homestead, or solitary cow or pig. If the whisky tax must be collected. If the fund must exist, why not pension every soldier now living who is tlie possessor of an honorable dlscarge? Why not pension every widow of a faithful soldier though his death might not have hap­ pened while in the service? Why not pension every indigent father oi moth­ er ef any faithful soldier upon whom they loaned for their support, though that soldier may have survived the war, If he has passed away? At the close of the war our National debt was of such gigantic proportions that there was some excuse for the exercise of rigid economy, even to the stinting of the scrfdier. But now, when our income as?jlfies a magnitude which pussies our best men for its distribution, there is no longer any excuse for delay to pay off to some extent a debt which never could have beeu incurred for money*s sake iu the absence of patriotism. For how many would have voluntarily ex­ posed themselves to all the dangers and privations of- war but for the love o'f country? If there Is more than Is needed for thle purpose, set it apart as a charity fund to meet such emer­ gencies as the Chicago fire, the desola­ tions by flood, the devastations of cyclones, the ravage* of yellow fever.
