Halrd January 1. Tho terrible
tragedy at Colt on Springs In this
county Thursday last resulted in a
double homloido. Tom Jones and
Geo. T Franks wore friends. Franks
became Involved in a dllHculty with
another man Jones interfered and
took Frank's pistol from him
ami drew tho cartridges Franks in-
sisted on tho returning of tho pistol
and told Jones It lie did not rechargo
and return It ho would kill him.
I ones refused and Franks went awnv
and tcturncd with double-ban eletl
gun and repented tho demand. Jones
Who had in tho meantime charged the
pistol drew It and llrcd Franks tiring
at tho same time. .Tonea was instantly
killed; Franks died In an hour.
Halrd Is on the anxious bench as to
tho result of tho approaching election
to determine whether the county silo
shall remain at Hell Plain or come
here. Tho uncoitaluty Is retarding
the rowth of tho town.
There is u'New Year's ball nnd sup-
per norotH!ght and the (own h alive
with young; people.
Tho tlay wic bright and sunny but
tho snow rethscd to melt.
Perhaps (ho most nmustng reception
ever accorded to malty in tho United
Htrtra nt least the one most In conso-
nance with American traditions was
that experienced by William IV. who
In his youth was n gay tar. Vhile in
the harbor or New York tho young
Bailor caught a glimpse of n vcrv
pretty woman from whom ho stole 'a
kiss with the remark "Tell your hus-
band when ho comes home that vou
were kissed by tho son of a king."
Unluckily for tho principal who was
a vary good fellow by the way the
beauty's lord and master had arrived
at tho erlt teal stage of tho adventure;
ami. being a very mtisoular as well n
plucky Individual he took the future
William I V by tho shoulders n.n him
out or his house emphasizing tho ac-
tion by planting his boot In tho royal
seat of honor and remarked "Vou
cah tell them when you go homo
I hat you have been kicked by the son
of it tailor." That Is tho kind of a
spirit we shonld like to see assert itself
In this country combined with per-
fect courtesy to vlltors of all ranks.

agreed to postpone his resignation as a
member ol parliament until tho lirst
Week in the session. Consequently
there will bo a vacancy about the cntl

no believes more firmly than ever the
necessity of Insuring that I rlsh repre-
sentatives In parliament shall be an
independent body a nationalist who
will oppose and harass the govern-

Ireland. He believes above all
In the organization in Ireland

Irish remain faithful to their national-

cause his health is broken down and
labor will be impossible to hlni for

COMMENTS ON GAMETTA.
ondon January 1. The Pall Mall
(fazn
io d
r(tr tills evening says it is thought
death of Gambettti will hroiik- nn
the republic. It will have minor ef-
fects of great iniportanee.f hough far too
serious to be other than a convinced
partisan of the public. Gambctta has
always been susceptible of the
forco or the French traditions. He
thought himself now tho Mazarln
or Richelieu. Liberalism all over
Europe will deplore tho loss of so
great and remarkable a figure
of a statesman who used his truly
Tortile mind for n noble cause and will
live in French history among tho most
coura-'eoiis. acute and most ai!tliv
founders ofthercpubllei'he measure or
inn toss is oi secret or or avowed satis-
faction of which it will bo held by the
reactionists and enemies of free gov-
ernment all over Europe.
Dorscy's Tin-Hncd Cedar Chest.
Ex-Senator Dorsey's ccdnr chest
promises to bring disaster aud ruin to
in many Republican leaders as Oakes
Ames' fatal memorandum book. In
It he has preserved the letters written
to him during the political campaign
of 1880 In which lie was one of the
lender nil those confidential letlets
wherein his brother ltcpublicans ex-
pressed their profound love for him
applauding the course he -was pursu-
ing in his Indiana campaign and
encouraged him to new villainies.
The dangers of political letter wri-
ting and the advantages of a cedar
chest are again illustrated In nil mu.
Men like Horsey who preserve theso
uocumeuiH wilt always lie powerful
aud dangerous. It was by this means
that Senator "Windom nearly reached
the presidency. Of little influence
popularity or strength personally he
rose to one of the highest positions in
our government thanks wholly to a
series of scrap-books he prepared.

The custom is of very nnclcnl ob-

The tree there used was the palm and
tho ceremony was In full force long
before the days of Antony and Cleo-
patra. Tho palm puts forth a fresh
shoot every month. In the time ol
the winter solstice when paitics were
given in ancient Misralm a spray of
this tree with twelve shoots was sus-
pended to symbolize the completion
of another year. The custom p.is-cd
Into Italy where tho fir-tree was em-
ployed for the purpose of celebrutiqn
and lis iiyramltiical tips were decoia-
ted with burning caudles In honor of
Saturn. This festival the Saturnalia
