It does not speak very favourably of the popularity of the stars and stripes in certain Points of the Union Friend in Ohio writes me inquiring about the pal met Tollag. As an Independent foreign country of course South Carolina has its own Flag. So far As i can learn it was not created by any act of the legislature. It floated Over the state House before the War and it still floats there. I have been Here for Over two weeks and have seen no Flag flying Over the state House but the Palmetto Flag and the newspapers Here have boasted of the fact that the stars and stripes does not a wave Over the state amen sitting below. I took As close a View of it As i could the other Day. It is a tattered rag of dark Blue ground with the representation of a Palmetto tree in White. Very appropriately a Rattlesnake is coiled at the Bottom of the trunk of the tree. Yesterday after the United states court had adjourned a militia company paraded the streets. It carried a Palmetto Flag but no stars and stripes Quot for the old 13th. Regiment. Great interest is being excited in the care of a Young lady from Bedford i who has been in Lafayette for the past Twenty three Days during which time she has not tasted food or water and bids fare to outdo or. Tanner is her fast. The Young lady in question miss Industry is stopping with a w. Mills at no. 25 South fourth Street and came to Lafayette to fill a position in the new court House. She is very Graceful in her appearance quite robust in form and the downcast Eye and firmly closed lips denote a determination quite out of place in her sex. The House in which Slie stopping a is closely guarded to keep oat the curious who flock daily in front of the doors Aud windows in order to get a Peep. The Case is been known to Many in the City for some time past and such interest excited As to employ a watchman Ben still wag to see that food is not passed to her throng a the night. The Case is attracting very general attention. She is a Ward of Charles Pearce. The agony is Over and the cd Vairinen and committees have been appointed by speaker Carlisle. Indiana secure tar chairmen Cobb on Public lands a on invalid pensions Aud Stockslager on Public buildings and grounds. There is great dissatisfaction among the rank and file and especially among some of the new members. Or. Cox of new York and or. Springer of Illinois Are also kickers the latter especially who vows eternal enmity against or. Morrison the Warwick of the House. Our Friend t. Jeff Wood was placed at the Tail of two committees mining and claims. Before the session is Over we predict he will have an extensive knowledge of the requirements of a committeeman for the last named committee at least so far As he is personally concerned.

And Over the past take a backward glance the first Battle fought for the Union was Rich mountains under Roee Crance then Over the mountains after general la a with Reynolds in hot Pursuit did we go with hearts full of Joy and merrily putting Back the rebel foe. Then we heeded the orders of Gen l Shields who was always ready for the fray and upon Winchester Battle Field sleeps Many of our Brave boys to Day. By Mcclellen and Butler As Well.

How Many Beautiful things have been said about Christmas every poet who Ever Sung has Given to Christmas some of his choicest thoughts. What a volume of Christmas literature could be compiled especially have the English authors treated it lovingly nobody can Ever surpass Dickens and Thackery s pictures of Christmas life. The Holly the Yule log the Home coming of the absent ones the gifts the innocent Faith of the children in the potent Santa clause All of these associations go to make up the Beauty of the Christmas of to Day As Well As of those of Ages past. Christmas is the Prince of festivals the one of Wirich we never grow tired. The very name has magic in it it seems Odd that we should celebrate with Ever increasing enthusiasm an event which happened Eigl Iteen Hundred years ago. A great Many Caviler and Quot philosophers Quot scoff at the idea of the 2, ill o december being celebrated As the birthday of Christ. Well what if it is not if Christ was born on some other Duy Triau that we Are not celebrating the Day but the great events the beginning of the Christian Era. It is enough that he was born and we May rejoice Over that first Christmas without anxiety As to whether we Are celebrating the exact Day and hour of his birth. The Beautiful simplicity with which the Story of the n i Ivity is told in the new testament can Naver be excelled by any flight of Wordy eloquence. Milton s hymnal of Lut nativity however is almost a a paraphrase of the Bible Story so simple and Majestic is its rhythm. The i Hepherd on the Law i. Or e or the Point of Dawn.

Everybody approaches them on the score of health but we think the matter should be taken up in behalf of decency. What do we care about a Man s health that is his own particular business and if he chooses to bestow rough usage on his digestive organs and to make his Teeth look like Well almost anything that s dirty it is his own affair. But when it comes to expect rating but no that is too decent a word to apply to spitting around on every projection on Steps on Walls on sidewalks even at the door of the Sanctuary we think in the name of decency he ought to be arrested for a nuisance. A Drunken Man in t half the nuisance on the Street that the Tob i co Chewer is. The care with which he ejects the filthy mass just in the place where one is sure to step is wonderful. Why does t he carry a Cuspid re around in his pocket Why does t he use his handkerchief f or Why does t he Swallow the juice and kill himself off anything to be rid of this abomination perpetrated by men who in other respects Are gentlemen. We Don t wonder that Mary Clemmer should be indignant. The Wisdom of the nation standing around like common loafers and Orna menting the principal building in the United states with their quids of Bull dog Ping Washington s Monument will probably receive a baptism of tobacco juice As soon As the congressmen can assemble around it. Let the tobacco Chewer veneer his own face All he wants to but for the Sake of his sweetheart s Best dress we conjure him to cease irrigating the sidewalk. The Charity Ball to be Given soon for the Benefit of certain charitable institutions will , be Wei patronized. It is one of the weaknesses of human nature that our Charity has to be bought. We will eat a Dollar s Worth at a Church festival or dance two dollars Worth at a Charity Ball and feel that we have done a commendable thing but to give the Money without value received does t often occur to us. What quantities of time and work might be saved if people would bestow their Money directly upon needy objects instead of having it extorted from them by appealing to their stomachs or their Quot fantastic if we might make a practical 8ugire=lion about the Charity Ball it would be that the girls would look As pretty As possible in their old finery and give tie Price of their new directly to the object in View. It is a singular inconsistency that expends a dozen dollars on itself to get ready to spend one Dollar on chastity. So if the new gloves Aud new ribbons and other Nic Knacks were dispensed with All for Sweet Charity s Sake we think there would be a positive Charm in the Shab Biness. Young men too might deny themselves new neckties and Button Hole bouquets. All that is needed is for somebody to Start the Fash Ion of going Shiby to the Charity Ball. Let some stylish lady or gentlemen but once appear in Public with a Hole in the shoe and holes in the shoes will in Ionedi lately become the r it be. Accidentally killed.

The body of an unknown woman found near the lower dam wednesday morning a number of boys skating below the lower eel River dam disco Reed the Arm of a woman partly appearing above the ice. The Coroner was notified and the body was removed o the undertaking establishment of Woll a Parker where it was viewed by several thousand people yesterday. No one was Able to identify the remains and it is probably that the woman was a stranger in the City. She had on a Black Cashmere dress Gray wrap Button shoes Woolen mits Gold ear drops and breast pin but there was nothing found on her person that would Lead to her identification. Her features Are Broad and irregular and indicate that she is of foreign nationality. Her hair is slightly tinged with Gray and to All appearances she was about 45 years of age. The indications Are that the woman committed suicide or wandered into the River when under the influence of liquor. The report was started that the body was that of mrs. Teal who lives a Short distance West of the City but the appearance of this lady upon the streets yesterday exploded the theory. Charley Smith of the Post office viewed the remains last night and is positive that he can Clear up the mystery. He states that the woman has a Box at the Oil ice Aud until within the last four or five Days has called regularly every Day for her mail. She has received numerous letters Fri m Cincinnati and hot is frequently warned him against delivering them to others who might Call. There Are several letters in the Box now and it is probable that unless Young Smith has cause to weaken in his theory the Coroner will take Apon himself the right to examine them. The inquest was commenced yesterday and will be continued to Day. Unless identified speedy the remains will be interred in the Patter s Field. Morton and Kis Mon .mcr.t.

They have been occupying one of the tenement houses of George Haigh on Sycamore Street for several months but have made no acquaintances among the neighbors. A key found in one of the mittens on the dead woman s hands unlocked the door of her Home which was visited and examined by Constable Gallagher yesterday. The arrangement of the household furniture would indicate that the woman had hastily take her departure. It is established that she was a morphine eater and the general impression is that she deliberately suicide. The remains have not been removed from Woll it Parker s and will probably not be interred before tomorrow. The Coroner will conclude his investigation to Dot in. The husband of the unfortunate woman is said to be a Crook. Many Are inclined to think that the woman met her death through violence and that the letters now in the piece would assist in unravelling the mystery a Trover. J. Hulee says it is too cold to work.

This enemy of Man shown in the ent to let a grinning in the most malignant and diabolical manner and scattering Gold around to tempt his victims within the clutches of his claws. But Beelzebub has been represented in other and far More polite forms. There is a print from the illustrations of Goethe s Quot Faust Quot which shows him As a courtly gentleman elegant in dress and polished in manners. It seems As if Mankind As it advanced in Reivi Dement improved its great it get a it has improved or and least relied the vices with which it pays him tribute.
