It is desired by some of our citiz ns to lave an artesian well in the street in front f the court house, and we understand that c ifty doflarm of thle necessary cost will be L .ised from private subscription if the own council will pay another fifty. A owing well on the main thoroughfare, rould be a permanent mpaovement nd a great convenience, but he council owe money, and we fear tLey .all not feel justified in making any ex- a enditures other than those actually ne essary. The income of this town is not f uore than sufficient to pay the running xpenses, and until the power is given to nerease the property aesessment and the ix levv there is little chance to spare I 2on" "or improvements. CHRISTMAS IN BETHLEHEM. The birth of Jesus in Bethlehem I vas the subject of Sunday-school les ons all over Christendom yesterday. t nd will be the theme of song and I armon during this Christmas season q -the anniversity of Christ's birth. verywhere that the story of Christ as gone and his gospel has been reached, men have some form of ob r ervance of the anniversary of this e reat event, and it is interesting to f ead how Christmas day is observed ow in the town of Bethlehem where esus was born nineteen hundred b ears ago. Bethlehem to-day is a 0 ity of 8,000, with the same old dark 0 treets. too narrow for vehicles. Only c bonkeys, camels and foot passengers r raverse the narrow alleys. The own is five miles south of Jerusalem nd fine roads connected the two ilaces. While the city is a little bet er built than in the time of Christ, I therwiss has not changed essen- P ally. The great Church of the Na- e ivity and some of the larger build- % gs have been built since the day b C f Chris, but many of the buildings tood at the time of his birth. In an xchange we find this interesting ac S ount of Christmas day in the ancient b ity: At Christmas everyone visits the Field of e Shepherds, a mile away from the hurch, which is reputed to be the piace there the Shepherds tended their flocks. at the big church a procession of bishops, nest and people form itn the square be are the edifice, each man dressed in his ost gorgeous robes. Turkish soldiers ne both sides of the streets to clear the ;ay for the procession. The Latin patri :-ch of Je:-usalem arrives, is met by the >rocession carrying banners and immenset andles, andl all go into the Latin chapel b brough the main entrance. The entrance a so small that but one man can enter at a tue and he must stoop to do so. The eason for this is that the Mohammedans at - ne time did so much to annoy the Chris. uns, even tiding into the chnrch n bor-seback, and the entrance was madle maler to keep, them out. Inside the tructnre is very ancient, s .me of it dattinrg rot the time of Constantine. In the Lat- C u chapel of St. Catherine serv~ces are held ~ 11 night, andl at mtidnight the patriarch of ~ erusale-m says mass. The chapel is filled ( tth people sitting on thc floor. Then the >rocession repairs to the Grotto of the Na- t tvity, under the church. Originally this a tas simply a natural cave in limestone ~ ock-of course the original manager was P ot preserved. Now marble slabs covert be walls and floors, and the ten-foot ceiling I arries thirty-ta o brass lamps. Many re igious pictures of poor execution hang on C be walis, and in the east end of the cave is ~ smnall recess, hung about with fifteen I amps. On the floor of the recess a bright ilver star is set in, and it is almost worn way from the constant kissing it receives. lost of the worshipers remain in the burch all night. There are no merry-making, no big t] linners, no giving of presents, but -y ere is something deeply significant ' a the observance of the day. a brough the y ears has come the faith a, rich rejoices in the story of the fi hiing star which led the wise men o the feet of the infant Christ, of the , ppearance of the angels to the shep eids as they watched their flocks by ight and their singing of the glad idings of "peace on earth, good willd ward men," of the infant Christ in manger, and of the birth of a new ispensation which has changed the rhole current of history and given ew radiance both to humanity and ivinity.a Christmas is a day that mieants uch to the world, and an occasionA ponl which men may rightly rejoie; ut we might well omit from ure bservance of it all bachanalia evel- I. 3and unseemly boistero4 ess, and a L rofitably engraft upon -dur proper u ome merry- making an4exchange of y ifts something more o - the religious bservance of the dayj ATatsTA.
