To Jehu Baker at Waahlngton.

Every visitor to the Capitol la anx. lous to catch a gllmpso of Jehu Baker, the successor of "Horizontal Bill" Morrison. Almost everybody had forgotten that Baker was a member of the House during the administration of Andrew Johnson, and that he was a stanch supporter of the reconstruction measures, and a warm personal friend of Thaddeus Stevens, Edwin M. Stanton and General Grant. He is a tall, rather spare man, with a smooth shaven face, which resembles some portraits of James He wares a suit of black broadcloth, neatly brushed but not very new, and his standing collar is supported by an old-fashioned black silk neckerchief.

Baker ilrst came to Congress at the age of forty-three, and Is now sixty-seven years old, but is still vigorous in body and mind. After he had defeated Morrison at the polls he thrashed a young newspaper reporter who had written something which gave him personal offense. He is dignified in bearing and deliberate in speech, as one might expect to find the author of an annotated edition of Montesquieu's "Grandeur and Decadence of the "Then let the moon usurp the rule of day, And winking tapers show the tun hi way; For what my senses ean pereeive, I need no revelation to believe."

Meanwhile, may tho Christ of the Bethlehem cattle pen have mercy on the suffering stock yards that are preparing diseased and fevered meat IWr our American households. Behold also in this Bible scene how on that Christinas night (iod honored childhood. Christ might have made his lirst visit to our world in a cloud. In what a chariot, of illumined vajKir ho might have rolled down tho sky escorted by mounted cavalry with light-iqug of drawn sword. Elijah had a carriage on lire to take him up, why Jesus not a of tire to fetch him down? Or, over the arched bridge of a rainbow the Lord might have descended.

Or Christ might have had his mortality built up on earth out of the dust of a garden, as was Adam, in full manhood at the shut ithout the introductory feebleness) of infancy. No, Xo! Childhood was to be honored by that event. He must have a child's light limbs, and a child's dimpled hand, and a child's beaming eye, and a child's flaxen hulr, and babyhood was to be honored for all time to come, and a cradle was to mean more than a grave. Mighty God! May the relied Ion of that one child's face lie seen in all infantile faces. Enough have all those fathers and mothers on hand if they have a child in the house.

A throne, a crown, a scepter, a kingdom under charge. Bo careful how you strike him across the head, jarring the brain. What you say to him ill be centennial and millennial, and a hundred years and a thou-sand years will not stop the echo and re-echo. Do not sav "It is only a child." It is only a masterpiece of Jchova. It is only a being that shall outlive sun and moon and star and ages qiiadrillcdnial God has Infinite resources and He can give presents of great value, but when he wants to give the richest possildo gilts to a household he looks around all the worlds and all the universe, and then gives a child.

The greatest present that God gave our world he gave about 15)87 years ago, and he gave it on a Christinas night, and it was of such value that heaven adjourned for a recess, and came down and broke through the clouds to look at it. Yea, in all ages (iod has honored childhood. He makes almost every picture a failure unless there be a child either playing on the floor, or looking through the window, or seated on the lap gazing into the face of its mother. It was a child in Naanian's kitchen that, told the great Syrian warrior where he might go and get. cured of the lep.

rosy, which at his seventh plunge in the Jordan, was left at the bottom of the river. It Was to the cradle of leaves in which a child was laid, rocked by the Nile, that (iod called the attention of history. It was a sick child that evoked Christ's curative sympathies. It was a child that Christ sat in the midst of the squabbling disciples to teach the lesson of humility. We are informed that wolf and leopard aiid lion shall yet be so domesticated that a little child shall lead them.

A child decided Waterloo, showing the army of Hlucher bow they eomld take a short cut through the fields', when, if the old road had been followed, the Prussian general would have come up too late to save he destinies of Europe. It was a child that decided Gettysburg, he having overheard two Confederate generals in a conversation, in which they decided to march for Gettysburg instead of Harrisburg and this, reported to Governor Curtain, the Federal forces started to meet their opponents at Gettysburg. And the child of to-day is to decide all the great battles, make all' the laws, settle all the destinies and usher in the world's salvation or destruction. Men, women, nations, all earth and all heaven, behold the child! Is there any velvet so soft as a child's cheek? Is there any sky so blue as a child's eye? Is there any music so sweet as a child's voice? Is there any plume so wavy as a child's hair? Notice' also that in this Bible night scene God honored science. Who are the three wise men kneeling before the divine infant? Not boors, no ignoramuses, but Casper, Bel-thasar and Molehior, men who knew all that was to be known.

They were the Isaac New-tons and Herschels and Faradays of their time. Their alchemy was the forerunner of our sublime chemistry, their astrology the mother of our magnificent astronomy. They had studied stars, studied metals, studied physiology, studied everything. And when I see" these scientists bowing before tin; beautiful babe, I see the prophecy of the time when all the telescopes and microscopes, and all the I.eyden jars, and all the electric batteries, and all the observatories, and all the universities shall bow to Jesus. It is much that way already.

Where is the college that does not have morning pravcrs, tins I towing at the manger? Who have been the greatest physicians? Omitting the names of the living, lest we should be invidious, have we not had among them Christian men like our own Joseph ('. lluchinson, and Itush, and Valentine Mott, and Abernethy? Who have been our greatest scientists? Joseph Henry, who lived and died in the faith of the Gospel, and Agassi, who, standing with his students among the hills, took off his hat and said, "Y'oimg gentlemen, before we study these- rocks let Us pray for wisdom to the God ho made the rocks." To-day the greatest, doctors and lawyers of Brooklyn and New York, and of all this land, and of all lands, revere the Christian religion, and are not ashamed to say so before juries and legislatures and senates. All geology will yet bow before the Bock of Ages. All botany will yet worship the Pose of Sharon. All astronomy will yet recognize the Star of Bethlehem.

And physiology and anatomy will join hands and say, We must by the help of God get the human race up to the perfect nerve, and jterfeet muscle, and perfect brain, and perfect form of that perfect child before whom nigh twenty hundred years ago Caspar, and lielthazar, and Mel-chior bent their tired knees in worship. Behold also in that tirst Christinas night that (iod honored 1he fields. Come in, shep herd boys, to Bethlehem and see the child. "Xo," they say; "we are not dressed good enough to come in." "Yes, you are, come in. Mire enough, the storms anil the night, dew and the brambles have made rough work with their apparel, but none have a better right to come in.

They were the first to hear tlie music of that Christmas night. The tirst announcement, of a Saviour's birth was made to those men in the fields, 'there were wiseacres that night in Bethlehem and Jerusalem snoring in deep sleep, and there were salaried officers of government who, hearing of it afterward, may have thought that they ought to have had the tirst news of such a great event, some one dismounting from a swift camel ar, ineir uoor anu Knocking uti at. sonic sentinel's question, "Who comes there?" the great ones of the palace might have been told of the celestial arrival. No; the shepherds heard the tirst two bars of tho fmisic, the tirst hi tho major key and the bust in the subdued minor: to (iod in the highest, and on earth peace, good will to men." Ah, yes; the fields were honored. The old shepherds with plaid and crook have for the most part vanished, but we have grazing on our United States pasture fields and prairie about forty-live million sheep and all their keepers ought to follow the shepherds of my text, and all those who toil in fields, all wine dressers, all orchardists, all husbandmen.

Not onl that Christinas night, but all up and down the world's history (iod has been hon oring the fields. Nearly all the messi. alls of reform, and literature, and eloquence, and law, and benevolence, have come trom the Holds, ashington from the ii'dds, Jefferson from the fields. The presidential martyrs, Garfield and Lincoln, from the lieltls. Henry CI ay from the lields.

took its the subject of his sermon, "Tho IJarn und Its Surroundings." Ills text was tukon from Luke ii, 15: "The shr-pliords said ono to an-other, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to puss." Dr. Talmago said: One thousand years of the world's exist, dice rolled painfully and wearily along, and no Christ. Two thousand years, and no Christ. Three thousand years, and no Christ. Four thousand years, and no Christ.

"Givo us a Christ," had cried Assyrian and Persian and Chaldean and Egyptian eivllization, hut the lips of the earth and the lips of tho sky made no answer. The world had already been affluent of genius. Among poets had appeared Homer and Tliespis and Aristophanes and Sophocles and Euripides and Alexis JEschylus, yet no Christ to be the most poetie figure of the eenturie. Among historians had appeared Herodotus and Xenophon and Thuevdides. but no Christ from whom all history was to date backward and forward 15.

C. and A. 1. the conquerors 'a-nullus and lanlius and Kegulus and Xantip-pus and Hannibal and Seipio and Pompey and Ca'sar, yet no Christ who was to be conqueror of earth und heaven. Hut the slow century and the slow year and the slow month anil the slow hour at last arrived.

Tho world had had matins or concerts in the morning and vespers and concerts in the evening, but now it is to have a conceit at midnight. The black window shutters of December night were thrown open, and some of the let singers of a world where they all sing stisid there, and putting back the dniperv of cloud chanted peace anthem, until all the echoes of bill and valley applauded and encored the Hallelujah chorus. At last the world bus a Christ and just the Christ it needs. Come, let us go into that Christinas scene as though we had never be-fore worshipped at he manger. Here is a Madonna worth looking at.

I wonder not that the most frequent name in all lands and in all Christian centuries is And there lire Marys in palaces anil Marys in cabins, and though German and I'Yencli and Italian and Spanish and EngiMi pronounce it differently, they are all namesakes of the one whom we tin'd on a bed of straw with her pale face against the soft cheek of Christ in the night of the Nativity. All the great painters have tried on canvas to present Mary and her child and the incidents of that most famous night of the world's history. Raphael in three different masterpieces celebrated them. Tintoret and Guirlanjo surpassed themselves in the "Adoration of the Magi." Corregio needed to do nothing more than his "Madonna'' to become immortal. The ''Madonna of the Lily," by Leonardo da Vinci, will kindle the admiration of all ages.

Mu-rillo never won greater triumph by his pencil than in his preseiitat iua of the "Holy Family." But all the galleries of Dresden are forgotten when I think of the small room of that gallery containing tl Sistine Madonna." Yet all of them were copies of M. Matthew's "Madonna" and Luke's "Madonna," the inspired Madonna of the Old Book, which we had put into our hands when we were infants and that we hope to have under our beads when we die. Behold, in the first place, that on the first night of Christ's life Uod honored the brute creation. You cannot get into that Bethlehem barn without going past the camels, the mules, the dogs, the oven. The brutes of that stable heard the tint cry of tho infant Lord.

Some of the old painters represent the oxen and camels kneeling that night before the new born babe. And well might they kneel. Have you ever thought that Christ came, among other things, to alleviate the sufferings of tin. brute creation? Was it not appropriate that he should during the lirst few days and nights of His life on earth be surrounded by the dumb beasts whose moans and plaint, and bellowing have for been a prayer to God for the arresting of their tortures and the righting ol' their wrongs? -Jt did not merely "Happen so" that the unintelliareut creatures of God should have been that night in close neighborhood Not a kennel in ail the centuries, not a nest, not a vomout horse on tow path, not a herd freezing in the poorly built cow pen, not a freight car in summer time bringing the beeves to market without water through a thousand miles of agony, not a surgeon's jvsmi witnessing the struggles of fox or rabbit or pigeon or dog in the horrors of vivisection but has an interest in the fact that Christ was born in a stable surrounded by brutes. He remember that night, and the prayer I le heard in their pitiful moan lie will answer in the punishment of those who maltreat the dumb brutes.

They surely have as much right in this world as have. In the lirst chapter ol Genesis you may see that they were placed on the earth before man was, the fish and fowl created the fifth (la and the quadruped the morning of tlc sixth (lav, and man not until the afternoon of that (lav. The whale, the eagle, the lion, and all the lesser creatures of their kind were predecessors of the human family. They have the world by right of ossesion. They have also paid rent for the places they occupied.

What an army of defense all over the land are the faithful' watch dogs. And who can tell what the world owes to horses, and camel, and ox for transportation? And robin and lark have by the cantatas with which they have filled orchard and forest, more than paid for the few grains they have picked up for their When you abuse any creature of Uod you strike its creator, and "you insult the Christ who, though he might have been welcomed into life by princes, and taken his lirst infantile slumber amid Tyrian pliii.h and canopied couches and rippling waters Irom royal aqueducts dripping into basin of ivory anil pearl, chose to he born on the level with" a cow's born, or a earners hoof, or a dog's nostril, that he might be the alleviation of brutal siill'eriug as well as the redeemer of man. Standing then as I imagine now I do, in that night with an infant Christ on the one side and the speechless creatures of God on the other, I cry, Look out how vou strike the rowel into that horse's side, 'fake off that curbed bit from that bleeding mouth. Heniove that saddle from that raw back. Shoot not for fun that bird that is too small for food.

Forget not to put water into the cage of that canary. Throw out some crumbs to those birds caught too far north in the winter's Inclemency. Arrest that man who is making that one horse draw a load tint i- heavy enough for three. Itush in u)xiii that sceue'where Ixiys are torturing a cat or butterlly and grasshopper.

Behold also that on that Christmas night God honored motherhood.

Two angels on their wings might have brought an infant Saviour to Bethlehem without Mary's being there at all. When the villagers, on the morning of Dee. awoke, by a divine arrangement andJin yoino unexplainedway, the child Jesus might have been found in some comfortable cradle of the village. But no, no! Motherhood for all time was to be consecrated, and one of Hie tenderest relations was to be the maternal relation, and one of the sweetest words "mother." In all ages (iod has honored good motherhood. John Wesley had a good mother, St.

Bernard had a good mother, Samuel Budgetta good mother, Doddridge a good mother, Walter Scott a good mother, Benjamin West a good mother. In a great audience, most of whom were Christians, I asked that all those who had been blessed of Christian mothers arise, and almost the entire assembly stood up. Don't you see how imjKirtant it is that all motherhood he consecrated? Why did Titian, the Italian artist, when he sketched the Madonna, make it an Italian face? Why did Bubens, the German artist, in his Madonna, make it a German face? Why did Joshua Bevnolds, the English artist, In his niitke it an English face? Why did Murillo, the Spanish artist, in his Madonna, make it a Spanish face? I never hejird, but I think they took their own mother as the type of Mary the mother of Christ. When you hear some one in sermon or oration speak in the abstract of a good, faithful, honest mother, your eyes will lill up with tears while you say 'to yourself, that was my mother. The first word a child utters is apt to be "Moth-er," and the old man in bis dying dream calls, "Mother! mother!" It matter not whether she was brought up in the surroundings of a city and in affluent home, and was dressed appropriately with reference to the demands of modern life, or whether she wore the old-time cap and great round spectacles and aprons of her own make and knit your socks with her own needles seated by the broad fireplace, with great back log ablaze on a winter night.

It 'matters not how many wrinkles crossed and recrossed her face, or how much her shoulders stooped with the burdens of a long life, if you painted a Madonna hers would be the face. What a gen-tie hand she had when we were sick, and what a voice to soothe pain, and was there anyone who could so till up a room with peace, and purity, and light? Ami what a sad day that was when we came home and she could greet us not, for her lips were forever still. Come back, mother, this Christmas day, and take your old place, and as ten, or twenty, or fifty years ago, come and open the old Bible you iised to read and kneel in the same place where you used to pray, and look upon us as of old when you wished us a Merry Christmas or a Happy Xew Year. But no! That would not be fair to call you back. You had troubles enough, and aclies enough, and bereavements enough while yon were here.

Over thirty years ago he built the huge "octagon house" near Fishkill, on the Hudson, and planted in the grounds around it over litteen thousand fruit trees, some of which he procured from foreign countries The property has passed out of possession of his family, Up to the close of his life at the age of seventy-eight years he was a tireless tree planter wherever he lived, and the trees he planted in his long and active career are growing in at least half a dozen States of the Union. "When Professor Fowler and Henry Ward 5eecher were students in Amherst College in 1832 they both became interested in phrenology, which was then a novelty in this country, and Iteecher lectured on the subject, while Fowler examined heads. For over fifty years from that time Professor Fowler continued to be a lecturer on his favorite theme, and, as such, traveled over ever State. His geniality, generosity and rigid honesty were traits which flourished to the last.

A city at the bottom of the sea was seen toward the end of October at Treptow, in Prussia, when a powerful south wind blew the waters of the Baltic away from the shore, uncovering a portion of ground usually hidden from sight by the waves. It was the ruins of the city of Regamuende, once a flourishing commercial station, which was swallowed by the sea some five centuries ago. The unusual spectacle was not enjoyed but for a few hours, when the storm slackened and the waves returned to cover up the place which had once been the residence and field of labor of busy men. Soap That row.

In the valley of California grows a tall, slender-stemmed liliaeceous plant, with purple and white flowers, which played an important part in the economy of the Spanish population, and is still more or less used by the country people. It is the well-known amole, or soap plant. It rises from a subterranean bulb, which is egg-shaped in form, two or three inches in diameter, and developed into a thick coating of black, matted, hair-like fibers. Woman's Talent Underestimated.
