It has been hinted to The Leader tbit an apology is dne from it to the persons who stonned Mr. P.

Tbere were twy parties (1) Thoae wbo went (here to help, and (2) those who went there to plunder. To the former The Leader owes no apology, and they btve been handsomely thanked, as they deserved to be, through the usual medium ' an advertised card ot thanks in then .In in nn, Tlie other party are invited lay Iheir grievance personally belore tho editor of tbie pauer, who will have the greatest pleasure in life in banding "leui personally over to the police.

It ll marvel- loui. Comnde Kingiley laid that he bad heard all the great oratori In tha United Statei Irom Jamei 0. Blaine and other Everybody has heard the Btory oi the big ball in Dublin where the hostess was much distressed to observe that the gorgeously-attired officers ol the Tenth Hussars were not dancing. She went up to the Colonel, so the Itory goes, and asked bim to join the throng In tripping the light fantastic toe, and also lo invite his officers to doso. The Colonel, "a h'arbitary gent" seemingly, replied with aristocratic bauteur, which no doobt nearly choked him, "Aw, thatike, the Tenth don't dawnce." "Then," replied tbe witty hostess in a moment, "thou perhaps the Tenth can walk," nt the eame time pointing lo Ihe door ol the salon. And the legend sayB that the Tenth did walk. That was long ago, hut it would appear Irom preeent day statistics and comparison of notes tbat there hai been a great deal ol recruiting lor the Tenth, lor Irom all quarter! comet the wail ol the distracted hostess wbo declares, with tears, that the young men are not dancing aa tbey used to. Why? There's the rub. All aortt ol solutions are offer, ed, but the real cause of the disinclination ol the gilded youth, and even ol Ihe tort witlinut the.gliding, is as bard to find as ever. One will observe at social function! where dancing ia one of tbe maiu cards, that more end more men "wallflower," to coin a convenient term for the occasion. At one function lately, not a bun. dred miles from Iaulysmlth.il is an actual iact that nearly all the young fellows could not, or would not dance, and the ladies bad to (all back on the old boys, who bai learned in their yontb and were well able to lave the eituatiou, Is it because the youog follows think the dance beneath their dignity, and that it looks too much like cbild'a play to go bobbing or whirling np and down room? Or are onr young men growing too serious with tbe burden ol mod ern life and ite constant strain oi intense competition? Whatever lt is society it confronted with a grave situation, lor it is becoming harder tban ever to fill programmes, owing to tbe ignorance ol dancing or un- willlngnesB oi the young meu to join in lhe dance. Ladysmith Merchants Make a Brave Display This Year. Ail who remember the sort of place Ladysmith wae a year ago will best appreciate the wonderful change which has taken place, and the remarkable contrast presented between this year's Christmas dlsplayB and those of a year ago. There are many more stores, and the eshibits of gouilB are far ahead of wbat tbey wero then. Io (act Lady Blilith ^ill bear couinnriatin wiih any ol tho neighboring towns, both as to extent and excellence ol stock1, and tbe tastefuluees shown In their arrangement. 01 course, the Leader's advertiiera, being tbe most enterprising and modern amongst the town'e merchant community, are far in the lead in IlilB matter, and thoir places ol business are well worth the attention ol the chopper today and tonight, The Leader has, with a good deal of pleasure, jotted down a lew notes ol the Christmas shows of thoae thriving and np-lo-date establishments, and hopes'; that those (Irma will reap a rich reward lor tholr admirable efforts to* please the, pnblio and make known the (lot that_they are in business through tbe widely-read column! of The Leader, SIMON LEISER A CO., Lto. Everyone admiies the pluck and Ibe Indomitable energy with which this line, old-established firm, one of the earliest pioneers of Ladyemith, met the cruel blow which befel them a little more than a week ago. Before a week had paSBel away from tbe dale oi tbe disastrous fiie tbe firm were into temporary premises, ready, or almost ready to greet their numerous customers with the old-time courtesy and attention which have ever:marked the dealings of this representative business establish ment with the public. By Monday morning, by dint of good hard work, Messrs. 1-elser's staff were ready (o re- sume duty almost un the old Bland, and with a (reeh stock ol high-olasa grocer' ieo, dry goodi and otber Btaples carried hy litem, All lhe firm's old customers are rallying round them again, and the prospects are, that, in spito ol the lessen ed space and consequent iiiiptiesiliilHy ol doing the iplendid Christmas bnsluess ol lormer years, tbe firm will do fully at well ae could be expected lu the uulur- innate circiimelancea. 0.

Ladyimllh, last Sundiy night, to a crowded houso. Much interest wae shown by the audience, as tbe preacher iu bold unequivocal teims condemned the state ol things existing here and in other places in Ibis province. He presented a number of strong arguments for not signing the petition! for license, and declared that so many liquor shops in a place amounted tot very serious political menace; the people would be powerless lo cope with the evil through the proper channels unless they were uartful. He quoted Lord Rosebery who said tbat 11 the slate did not Boon control Ibe liquor traffic the liquor traffic would loon control lhe state. Mr IVi.lker also pointed ont tbat the bludgeon was used lo compel people to sign: 'sign or it will go hard with your business"; "lign or we'll see that you don't get toy work," etc Llqnor sel. ling wat a mere extra lo hotel keeplns; it was net neceisary; the hotel keeper had hia work Justus the miner had hie to attend to; in tbo one case tbe getting out tlie minerals; in tho other tho an ooiiimodatiou ol travellers ur boarders Ha quoted the late Rt Hon IV. li. Gladstone tbat publicans were nnt goed'lor the revenue ; "with a sober population, saving tbeir earnings, I shall know whtre to get my revenue." Mr. Walker cited a mass of facts and figures to fortify hll pneliion, and read lhe moral tnd religions lesson oi it ill with powerful tfleol. He idjured bis bearers to tbink whit they were doing In signing petitions it tht bidding of persons who were, unworthy ol consideration; it might bt like signing the death warrant nf ■ wbola family A stirring tnd interesting address was concluded with a strong appeal to all to be true to themselves.
