Gossip wishes his readers and the rest of mankind a merry Christmas. It is a joyous occasion, and all Christendom should be happy. The festival marks the day which gave to the world the Christ child and ushered in a new dispensation of love, the precursor of the tragedy of Calvary, which placed the burdens of sinful humanity on i i i mo aaviour, to wnom tne meanest anu iium blest enn confidently look for salvation Evorvthincr connected with the festival i cause for thankfulness. Let all be thankful, therefore. Let iov and gladness rule the hour.

Let love and tenderness control human intercnursn n.fc lnnst on this blessed day. Let him that has much share with him that has little, that all may be made happy, men shall the day be fitly celebrated and all man 1 1 kind be made the better tor me uiesseu ox perience. "SPKAKINO of Christmas, and its festivi ties, in which the mistletoe and holly occupy a conspicuous part, said a mend to uossip, "I am reminded by the mention of the word 'mistletoo' of a laughable experience of my callow days. Among my young lady friends was very pretty, amiable girl, but who was somewhat prudish, as you will agree when I finish my story. She was a good singer, and being proud ot the tact, aired her accomplishment whonever opportunity offered.

One of her favorito songs was 'The Mistletoe Bough. In pronouncing the word mistletoe, ho put the accent on the second syllable, thus: 'inis fci oo. When I suggested that she was mistaken in her pronunciation, the young lady replied: Oh, I don't like it the other way; the last syllable sounds. bo yuI Funny, wasn't it Our Postmaster General Wanamaker is facetious. Last night at the New England club dinner in Philadelphia he spoke as fol lows: "Put yourself into politics.

That may seem a strange thing for a business man to say, but you can leavo your business for an afternoon to go to a matinee, and could co to Councils as well. You can leave your business for six months' trip abroad, and can't you go to Congress or the Legislature as well You say you could go to the Legislature if it were not in Harris burg. Move Ilarrisburg to Philadelphia then; make the capital of the State here. I would like to see another Bullitt bill passed, Increasing your Mayor's powers and giving him the right to sign a deed for a piece of land In the East Park for the new capital. That sounds very pleasant to Philadelphia ears, Mr, Wanamaker, but really, aren't you going to let the balanco of the State have a say? "Move Ilarrisbnrg to Philadelphia?" Go to, go to.

Do not perpetrate such witticisms on the descendants of Yankees. You moan "move Philadelphia to Harrisburg." That is more like the thing. And as for making the capital of the State in Philadelphia just because it is inconvenient for the aw the blue blooded aw fellows to aw come to the Legisla chaw when it is aw located in Harris burg, well, please excuse the people of State from smiling a smile that shakes ithe pine clad Alloghenics and agitates the waters of Lake Erie. Young man, be honest. It pays in the lo.lg run.

If you don't believe me, perhaps nn illustration will convince you. Some time 2 Ba attache of the Telegraph composing room quite a young man, too, by the wy found a purse containing a large sum' of money on the sidewalk, and lost no tim in returning the same to its owner. lie' was rewarded and thanked by tho grateful owner of the purse, and thought no more of the occurrence until to day, when he was agreeably surprised to receive a handsomely houud pocket edition of Shakespeare's works, ia eight volumes, all enclosed In a neat case, with a card attached, containing his own name, below which were the words: "In grateful remembrance of your honesty and promptness." The name signed at the bottom was tho name of tho lady whose purse he found and returned. Now, young man, don't you think that "honesty is the best policy," after 11, and that "honosty is its own reward," withoat tho financial attachment You do Well, I'm glad to hear that. "An honest confession is good for the soul." Tun New York World is making a vigorous protest against the way in which the Hoard of Aldermen attach names to newly opened streets, and change the names of streets already named.

It calls the changing of names vandalism. It may bo van dalitim in New York, but hero in IlarriBburg It could bo called any thine else. When a city runs so short of names that it has to name streets after fractional numbers, it is time to consult an encyclopedia. The idea of such name AS Eloven and a IIalf, Fourteen and a IIalf Bud Seven nnd a IIalf for streets is supre mely ridiculous. One of the handsomest streets in Ilarrisburg was called Two and a IIalf, but fortunately, after a vigorous eHort, it was changed to Green street.

Speaking of street nomenclature, Philadelphia knows a thing or two when it calls its principal street Chestnut. So suggestive. If the committee in control of the lighting of the streets are looking for a location for sin electric lamp, Gossip suggests that they can find it at Third and Strawberry. While the business establishments on Third street holweon Market and Walnut are lighted up, the street is well illuminated; but late at night, or on Sunday evening, the block rivals the street of a country village in darknesy. Tmc Russian influenza, or "Grippe," as the French havo styled It, has attacked Pittsburg with vigor, and hundreds of persons are suffering from the disease.

It may be the style, and all that, but if the disease gives us the go by llarrisburgers will not complain. To Mr. Santa Claus: You can go twice as on Third street with your team. Try it. Think ot the children who listen to night In delimit that la mingled with (ear, H'or tlio twinkling tout ot the reindeer team As tiioy truvui o'er earth and thro' air.

Last evening about o'clock the train east on the Furry County railroad from New Bloomfteld for Duncannon left with an engine, flat, freight and passenger cars. About a milo and a half above Duncannon the brake rigging of the freight car broke and, striking a tie, threw the car off the track. The coupling of tho passenger car broke and tho car remained on the track.

Nobody was hurt. This is an accident that happens on many roads and the railroad people are not to blame in any manner. They Dnnrert the German.

Benediction. OBITUARY. Aire. Jane II. Strohecker.

One of our oldest citizens departed this life yesterday about 2 P. M. Her maiden name was Jane Stewart and she was born at Castle Dawson, County Derry, Ireland, January 2d. 180G. She came to this coun try with her parents in October.

1819. The family came direct to Hamsburg, and here she continued to reside with the ex ception of a few years during her married life. She was twice mar ried. Her first husband was Samuel Hun ter, and with him she lived a short time in Danville. After his death she remained a widow for many years, taking care of her asred father.

In 1865 she married DA Samuel Strohecker and removed to Centre county. After the death of Dr. btrohecker she returned to Ilarrisbnrg in 1871, and once more took up her residence with her neice, Mrs. Stees, on Wal nut street, near Front, and here, she peacefully passed away yesterday. She has been confined to her bed for several weeks, but the illness was not thought to be necei sarilv fatal until last Friday, when a paral ysis besran in her extremities.

This contin ued to increase until she became helpless. She retained the full possession of her iacal ties nntil the last, and conversed with her friends until within a few minutes of her death. She was a devout and godly woman, full of the spirit of her Master, whom she served with great devo tion. She had large and warm sympathies, and was greatly beloved by a wide circle of friends. She was at the time of her death the oldest living member of the Market Square church, having united with that church on profession of her faith April 26th, 1826.

She lived a most exemplary and useful life, and died in the hope of the Gospel. The funeral will take place on Thursday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, from her late residence, and the interment will be mtde in the family lot in the Ilarrisburg cemetery. WARREN B. KEHI.V UIRIED.

Pittsburg, Dec 23. Extraordinary interest is now manifested in the iron market A farther advance is expected during the month of January, and if there is any farther increase in prices the iron workers will be entitled to an advance in wages. Bar iion is now being sold at 1.95 cents per pound, and it is said some sales have been, made at two cents. When it goes above two cents, then tho iron workers will receive an advance. The possibility of a further advance is being du nssed, not only by those directly interested, but by business men generally.

The coke operators have agreed to further advance the price of coke on January 1st from Si 75 to $2 Der ton. Thia will have. it is generally conceded, a farther stimulating effect upon the iron market The furnaces are receiving mora orders than they can filL The' officials of the Amalgamated Asso ciation are not anxiou? to see a rapid advance.
