Last night the military hail a good crowd and were quite successful. The tickets to the gift enterprise were nearly all disposed of. To-night the drawing is likely to take place as all the tickets will, no doubt, besold, if not, the draw ing will come oft’ Friday night. The two beautiful dolls will bo dis posed of to-night, as the chances are nearly all taken. At 9:30 p. m. there will be a prize drill by a squad of ten men from each com pany. This will be an interesting fea ture. To-night will be the big time for the lunch room, as the contributions con sist of all tlimdelieacies of the season. Meals are furnished very cheaply. The music to-night will be fine. Several amateurs have promised to be present* The various churches have boon hav ing festivals this week and have drawn away from the military, but this eve ning there will be nothing going on elsewhere, and w© expect to soo a jam at the armory. Mr. L. Btihler contributed a beautiful pipe valued at $15. Mr. Linck sent in a dozen bottles riLlager. The Eagle A Phonix gave a pair of cotton blankets. Mr. Hochstrasscr a box of oranges. Others made donations but we were unable to got thoir names, everybody being so very much engaged that they did’nt have even a few minutes to de vote to a reporter. There has been but little interest tak en in the voting. We learn that to night. Efforts will be directed that way and we'll see who is the best hand on elections. Do not fail to attend. - cmmwmvMAm. The Nor I It nnri Month RoU. It is the current rumor on the street, and coming from the source it does must be entitled to credit, that some gentlemen connected with the Alabama and ^Chattanooga Railroad Company have relieved Major Moses of his pur-, chase of the North and South Road for the Columbus and Atlanta Railroad Company. It is said they have bought as an investment and thoir idea is to make the extension required to make the lino valuable with the ultimate aim of finishing it to Chattanooga. If all we hear be true the future of Columbus promises magnificently. We will hoou be relieved of the oppressive exactions of the Central Railroad and be a com peting point. Tliis done, an increased impetus will be given to our manufac turing interests. In respect of these Columbus is by far the chief city in the South. The New Ultrrary A»»ocl»llon. A society of young ladios and gentle men ot our city is doing great credit to its name, in that it is making rapid progress.' Its objects are the promo tion of social feeling and mental cul ture. The society meets once a week, and the proceedings aro highly enter taining and interesting. The officers are : Emile Newman President, Max Wolfson Vice President and J. Zacha- rlas Secretary. At present, the organization will meet at private residences, but ere long club rooms will bo secured. Married. Yesterday afternoon, at the residence of the bride's father, Dr. J. J. Mason, of this city, Dr. Walton Drake, of Au burn, Alabama, and Miss Emma R. Mason. Rev. A. B. Campbell, pastor of the First Baptist church of this city, performed the ceremony.

Ail were agreeably surprised at the fairness of the day, as the clouds the uight before indicated rain, but the weather could not have been more pleasant. The crossings were very muddy, however,which rendered walk ing very disagreeable. Broad street was crowded all day with people, pur chasing presents, etc. We are told that there were many free egg-nogs to be hAd, which was the cause of sojnuch “sick ness” in the latter portion of the day. The day, on the whole, passed off very quietly, and excepting some minor “skirmishes” there were no tights at oil. Services were held at the Episcopal and Catholic churces, and were very well attended. The music at th© for mer was very beautiful. CHRISTMAS TREES. Broad Street Methodist Sunday- school’s Christmas tree was a grand success. Many childrens’ hearts were gladdened by the presents given them, and many teachers made happy by be ing able to cause a ray of sunshine to (toss thoir fuees and make their hearts glad with joy. The recitations were very appropriate. ST. PAUL SUNDAY-SCHOOL children were delighted with their’s, which was very handsome. There was a large crowd present, who seemed to enjoy the affair as much as any of the children. The singing was excellent, and the evening passed off very ploas- Antly to all. 8t. Luke children were out in large numbers at their Christinas festivities, which wore very interesting. The pro gramme was designed to illustrate the darkness prevailing at the time of the birth of Christ, and the light immedi ately following as indicated by the star seen by the wise men journeying from the East. The exercises consisted of beautiful songs by the school and appropriate recitations by the follow ing classes: Mr. Binford's, Mr. W. H. Brannon’s and Mrs. Frazier’s, The recitations by the following boys and girls of the school were very creditably rendered: Gus Raiford (splendidly, Master Gus), Thos. Branch, Arminius Frazier, Alice Dudley, Carlie Led- siuger, Carrie Bradford. Before the distribution of the pres ents the following little giriA, in fairy dress, sang “Tho Christmas Bells are ringing” : Carrie Johnson, Eva Moore, Liela Daniel, Gussie Ligon, Annie Hinde, Mamie Carter, Annie Cargiil, Grade Jackson, Minnie Woolridge and Maggie Williams. The scene was an imposing one and the singing delight fully sweet. During the evening a handsome silver- headed cane was presented to Mr. J. A. Bradford, by Mr. E. G. Raiford, in be half o{ the Stewards. Other minor presents wore given to teachers and friends by the scholars. The affair on the whole was a pleasant one and may we live to witness many more. TRINITY SUNDAY SCHOOL, in Browneville, had a magnificent af fair in the shape of a Christmas tree. There were also recitations, which were very interesting. At night bon-ilres were to be seen in various portions of tho city, at many of which w ere clustered tho pretty girls with gallant beaux, who wore ever ready to laugh at their cries of fear as some largo cracker exploded uear them. Well, Christmas is over, and we are heartily glad of it, For the Enquirer-Sun.} A HOLIDAY DITMOAPICT. BY MATTO’B, ’Twas the day after Christmas—and all thro’ the house. The toys were much scattered—a regular chouse, The old folks had headaches, the young ones with pain, Were saying they’d never eat pound-cake again; The housemaid was scolding of things dis arranged, And vowing that she would soon go de ranged. There was cake on the sofa—nutshells on the floor. The carpets were dirty—the curtains all tore, The new doll was broken—one arm out of Its socket, And the family portrait was spoiled by a rocket. The piano looked tired—Its polish so flne, Was scratched o’er by glasses and stained up with wine, The mirror before which the belle often lingers, Was streaked nil o cr as If with sticky fingers, NAali’s ark was upset and a copy of Byron Held in—as a book mark—a child’s toy Iron. The furniture felt ns tlio it Just had been varnished Whiten “Life of Beecher,” In gilt, was all tarnished, The clock needed winding, ns did also some Zephyr Which lay on the floor as if “that’s what twas leff for!” The dining room looked as tho’ there’d been a party, And all wlm attended were healthy and hearty, The bones of a turkey looked ghastly and white, And the punch bowl ns tho’ It had been In a fight. The mun o' the house looked ns dull as a log, And said ns he saw where they’d spilt some egg-nog, If I live till next Christmas—which my head seems to doubt, And this court knows itself, there’ll be no “blow-out.” I’ll save all the money the doctors don’t get, And I’ll spend it a little different—you bet! Why with what has been wasted and ruined Just here, A poor ramUy would be content with for a year. Pshaw: I feel like I’d like to get Into a pas sion— Just to think of me tondying because ’tls fush ion. Entertaining—receiving—mn.v-be good peo- ple, Whom I don’t see as oRen ns I do the church steeple. Can’t I keep their friendship without throwing away The money that may-be I’ll be needing some day ? I’ll try the experiment and at the end of the year, Whether I make or I loose, to my mind It is clear, Tho’ it may not be “fashion,” and some call you “a boor,” It’s best when you do give to give to the poor. “OLD TIMER AND OLD MONCHR.*’ TO MATT O’B— The dear “old times,” that have long passed by, How off we recall them with a tear or a sigh And crave once more for Joys—long fled And dear ones loved—now silent and dead. The songs we have sung, In the Auld Lang Melodies sweet, ah the poor henrt doth pine To hoar them again ns In that bright day; But lips that have sung them are far away Or else—here on earth, they will sing them no more, They are singing sweet strains on Eternity’s shore. To Lf»ve Us. Rev. F. A. Branch will probably louve the city this week for Ainericus, whore ho has been stationed for tho (mining; year. Ho hus boon among: us but one year, and during that timo luis made many friends in all denominations. In him tho church of this city loses an able minister and a noblo worker.

Despite of the attractions of artillery punch, egg nog, and other cheer, Col u minis lias passed through the Christmas time without a single dis turbance of moment. Of course, there were the usual quantity of intoxica tions of the lighter kind, but the noisy and tumultuous variteies were want ing. Our Muyor had sufllcient men on duty to nip every disorder in tho bud, and provont the assembling of rowds on the corners. The orders were, to move on, and they moved. PerMiiaU. Messrs. Dol Rutherford and W. S. Holstead, with tho Eagle and Phenix Factory, have returned from their re spoctivo territories, where they have been selling goods for their company. Mr. John B. Gorman, lately of “Yew- rope,” now of that bright, newsy paper in Talbotton—the Register—paid us a pleasant visit last night, llo is among the most genial of pleasant compan ions, and tl*© shadows disappear bofore Ills jolly laugh. Friend John, you art* ever as welcome as the flowers in May Mayor's Court. Oscar Caruthers, colored, waltzed up and “kissed the bride” and paid his 97.60 for interfering with polico offi- •ors. Warren Mullins and George Pryor wore lined 97.50 each for fighting. Mattie Rowell for using bad English, or in other words, for not articulating as she should, was fined 92.50. John and Martha Upshaw, colored, wore present at the ball with beaming countenances. They had been grind ing that same old organ without li •ense. They paid for the license and went homo to continue tho business. John said, when he was ordered to balance to the center,” “all right Mos Frank, I am guilty of anything you say” and ho was as drunk as a Idled owl.” Win. Hayes plead guilty to disorder ly conduct and paid $5.00. Tuck Porter, colored, cut her hus band with an unknown weapon, in a lit of drunkenness and jealousy, and was lined #5. Ellie Johnson was fined 95 for fight ing a negro. Jim Lee, colored, was fined 95 For using obscene language. few were dismissed and several failed to make their appearance. The Mayor will get a chance at some of ’em this morning. In every case where a fine is*imposed the subject has to pay the fine or go on the chain-gang. Consequently the cash is put down forthwith whenever it can he raised by any means whatsoever. Oar €.rrlrn, Subscribcra treated them kimlly.

The Alligator Hsu... lie was one of the Christmas serenn- dors who compllmonted this oftlee Monday night. He played well and lie played with much skill and earnest ness. In fact (he was the hornlst), lie blew until he grew red in the face, but alas ! no sound was heard, fie felt very much dissatisfied with liis horn, and carried it back to La.vileld's to ex change for another. He informed tho latter of his trouble and liegan to blow again to show him how lie had been humbugged, when tlio vender discov ered that tho musician had liis little Alligator in liis mouth. Of course it wouldn't play. He was very much surprised, for he thought that his little crocodile was in his pocket instead of liis horn. Tn Wild Irl.kara Were out yesterday parading Rroad street with ladles' hats on. They never felt I letter in their lives, we can state positively. They were a jolly pair and were having lots of fUn, and had a tight at last. A CM.plisMatarz Im Nag Was given Tuesday night by Mrs, H, E. Kirven to the clerks of J. Albert Klrveu.

Will be found to possess those qualities necessary to th- total eradication of all bllloua attacks, prompt to start the se cretions of the liver, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery in medical science to have Invented a remedy for these stubborn complaints, which de velop all the reaulta produced by a heretofore free use of calomel, a min eral justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged to be destructive in the extreme to the human system. That the properties of certrln vegetables comprise all the virtnes of calomel without its injurious tendencies, is now an admitted /act, rendered indisputa ble by scientific researches; and those who use the Mandrake PiUs will be fully satisfied that the best medicines are those provided by nature in the common herbs and roota of the iields. These Pills open the bowels and cor rect all bilious derangements without salivation or any ot" the injurious effects of calomel or other poisons. The secretion of bile is promoted by these Pills, as will lie seen by the altered color of the stools, and disappearing of the sallow complexion and cleansing of the tongue. Ample directions for use accompany each box of pills. Prepared only by J. H.

Tkey "Set B*," Most of the bar-rooms in the city “set 'em up” to egg-nog, etc., on Christmas day, hut Linck, at the Merchants' Ex change, did liis “little best” on artillery punch," which was delicious. Linck never does anything by halves, and the boys would not object to a Christmas every week. One can number that punch among the charming things that are as pleasant to the soul as the mem ories of joys that are past—sweet but mournful to the soul. Buhler had a very fine lunch, but his specialty was nog, which all the boys said couldn’t bo surpassed. Dave was not surpassed by any. His egg-nog was as good and abundant as one could desire. Ills lunch was very fine and everybody who partook said that they never eat better. Clements “ran heavy’’ on egg-nog. He must have given out two or three barrels.

From sorrow may thy heart bo free, Thy soul be full of melody. Surrounded by nil those you love, May eartli seem like tlio heaven above; And realizing human bliss, May fortune greet thee with a kiss. And if, perchance, my wish be vain— Instead of Joy your lot be pain, Then may the light which guides our way Dispel for you tile gloom away. Tlio’ filled wttli gall tlie bitter cup, May your soul witii faith be lifted up, And then, when age shall come, some day, And youth, dreum tike, will pass away, When time shall touch your now dark hair, leaving his stiver signet there; When death shat! break tlie golden bow] And heavenward shall sour Ilie soul.

The fire was found to lie in a vacant slianty in the Sixth Ward and there being no cis terns in that portion of the city the en gines did not go.
