A Jl IP IN TURPENTINE.
All the London Stock Cocked l'l> k -f"3
Prices I.'kely to be Very Hlcflk
T i re is an boom in
turpentine. Tt.e Hosing quotati^Kr
spots from London on Tuesday vaW>.
Ctl., and the quotation of yesteidimas
for spots 255., showing a very
vance, being fully Is. M. The cause of
this is given by private advices from Lon
don received by exporters yesterday, lhe
London warehousemen —as one telegram
stated it—have lailed, and another stated
that they had Busjended, consequently
the whole stock ai< Vttpdon is locked up,
and it is said will>L..t l*o available for
some time. The theory advanced is that
the warehousemen of London have been
“kiteing,” or in other words, have been
raising money on certificates for
stuff in the warehouses lor "tnore
than is held in them. This, it is said, is
the case with the largest warehouse in
London, and it is very probably the same
with all the others, should this informa
tion prove to be correct spirits turpen
tine will certainly advance to a respecta
ble figure. Theie is every reason why it
should, as its statistical position is. or
should Ik-, stronger, if figures mean any
thing. Last year the stock at London
was 40,000 casks and afloat 7,400. This
year the stock on Dec. 22 was 12,000
casks and afloat 6,9(0 casks. The ruling
price last year was 32J4 cents and the
market was swept clean of offerings yes
terday at 28 cents. So that If the stock
at London should be locked up for an in
definite time the question with holders
,aud all interested is, “where will she go
to?-’

CHRISTMAS IN SAVANNAH.
itjOW THE MERRY FESTIVAL
WILL BE CELEBRATED.
Sights and Scenes In the Streets on
Christmas Eve—How the Busy World
Gets Ready for the Glad Holiday
What will be Done To-day In the
Churches and at the Firesides.
Christmas eve in Savannah for 1884
had all the bustle and joyousness of its
predecessors and probably more of the
wonted business stir and activity of for
mer years. On all sides there were happy
faces and busy purchasers. The streets
were crowded. The stores were thronged.
Good-natured and parcel-laden pedestri
ans jostled each other on the sidewalks
and on the muddy street, crossings, anil
there was a general feeling of good fel
lowship and Christmas cheer everywhere.
\H these sigus indicated that the day in
Savannah will be a very happy oue.
The shop keepers stated that they nad
never d<ne a more rushing Christmas
trade, and business during the evening
was good everywhere. The exceedingly
lar-'e numlicr of purchasers was accounted
for "by the fact that many persons, parti
cularly ladies, had been kept at home
during the day by the lowering aspect of
the weather, and came out at night when
it showed a tendency to clear up. Many
..f the stores were decorated with
Christmas evergreens. f.nd being bril
liantly lighted, presented a handsome ap
!>eara'nc3 with their displays of hand
some goods, and a thousand and one
articles suitable for gifts. The supply of
attractions for the little ones was the
largest. There were big dolls and little
dolls, wagons and velocipedes, lead
soldiers and tin horns, and other things
which delight the hearts of young America
on Christmas morning.
One of the ridiculous features of the
day occurred early in the evening in front
of Wylly & Clarke's, where a mimic Kriss
Kringle"with a very red face and a very
white beard stood in a second-story win
dow, and threw down into the street at
intervals dolls and balls, etc., for the
street urchins to scramble for. The mud
was deep in the streets, but this did not
lessen the ardor of the eager contestants
for a prize. All got their clothes muddy,
some got their heads cracked and a few
got wAU they were scrambling for.
It J s a busy dav in the market, where
the wkis were packed with turkeys and
geesPand chickens. The market closed,
however, at the usual hour, and will
tie open again at 4 o’clock this morn
ing. Heretofore it has been usual
on Christmas eve for the market to be
open late as on Saturday nights. Tne
booths around the market did a thriving
business, and an old colored man with a
load of evergreens for Christmas trees
had no difficulty in disposing of his stock.
A BUSY DAY AT THE POST OFFICE.
One of the busiest places yesterday was
at the i>ost office. But for the constant
application and over-work of the force,
the office would have litoraliy over-run
with business and the mailing department
til ed from roof to ceiling with letters and
packages.
“How long has this thing been going
tin?” asked a News reporter, who was
witnessing the dispatch of mail when the
carriers came in last evening, of Assistant
Postmaster Me Laws.
“It has been a rush all week. We
never had such heavy business. At one
time yesterday there were 103 registered
packages on the clerk’s desk, and we sent
out five sacks and three pouches contain
ing mail where we usually send one. A day
or two ago 114 money orders were issued.
At certain times of the day we usually do
not have much mail matter in the post
office. Since the rush began we have
l>een crowded at all times. The average
sale of stamps has amounted to $250 a
day. This is equivalent to about 25,000
pieces of mail matter going out ol the
post office. Probably as much more i6
being received. We have been working
with a short force Of clerks, but every
thing is going on smoothly. It is rather
hard on the carriers. Where they made
one trip before they have now been mak
ing five trips on one delivery.”
It is estimated that from 1,800 to-2,000
packages and pieces of mail bayebeen
sent out from Savannah daily over the
usual business. The large majority are
Christmas cards, and if many people are
disappointed at the non-delivery of their
.vrdo at the other end they must not com
plain. They have I teen dropping in their
cards in sealed envelopes with only a
1-cent stamp on them.
AT THE EXPRESS OFFICE.
The business of the Southern Express
Company this week has been 33 per cent,
heavier Than Christmas business hereto
fore. The rush began in earnest on Dec.
22. Yesterday it was exceedingly lively.
Every train goiugout had two or three ex
press"cars attached, and these were loaded.
The company’s eight wagons in Savannah
were kept busy and were unable to meet
the demand, ' and a number of extra
wagons had to ne put on. Agent Cooper
was kept on the go, and through his
efficient management all matter was dis
patched on time. It is stated that the
number of smaller packages going North
a few days ago-was much larger than
usual. It was hard to tell yesterday
whether there were more little packages
than big ones. They were numerous and
of all kinds, from a barrel of whisky to
a tiny package, from a parlor organ
to a' bird cage with a canary
bird in it. ~ Many suspicious
looking demijohns were being shipped.
Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue
Wilson stated that that office bad been
kept very busy lately supplying the de
mand for wholesale liquor dealers stamps,
which probably explains what was inside
the demijohns.
SUSPENSION OF BUSINESS.
The day being a legal holiday the city
and government offices will be closed,
except the post office, where Sunday hours
will l><; observed. The custom house will
be closed in all departments. The banks
and exchanges will also be closed aud
business generally will be suspended.
The public schools were formally closed
for the holiday vacation and will not re
open until Jan. 5. The County
Treasurer was busy all day paying off
the teachers at the' Superintendent’s of
fice. The private schools were also
closed, and the school children will have
a fortnight’s rest from their studies and
the teachers the duties of the school
room. Tne stores and business houses,
many of them, will remain open during
the morning and will close at noon. The
market will be open as usual.
GOOD ORDER IN THE STREETS.
The crowds iu the evening began to
grow less by 10 o’clock, and by 11 the
streets were deserted save by a few late
purchasers, the boys aud those who were
out tor the night to stay. The city, so
far as any disturbances were concerned,
was unusually quiet aud orderly. Up to 12
o’clock only a"few arrests had been made
bv the police, anil most of these were lor
violation of the fireworks ordinance.
As the city clock struck 12,
and before the last stroke had
died away, the cracking and banging ol
{nippers and bombs, the screeching and
yelling and blowing of horns broke out
iilresh and the day was officially ushered
in. The small boys’ bonfires were burn
ing all over the southern part of the city,
and ti ? piles of barrels in back yards arid
sheds lor to-day give promise of a lively
blaze to-night. The holiday will be gen
erally observed by everybody, young and
old. It is not supposed that the
merchant will present his bills to-day,
nor the bankers his drafts, nor the sheriff
his summonses. The world does not know
how much happiness for a day is afforded
by these exemptions. It saves the trouble
of getting out of town or even putting on
an overcoat and starting toward the de
pot in order to reach home by a back
street.
IS THE CHI RCHES.
How the Day Will be Observed—The
Music aud Decorations.
The day will be observed as usual in the
Episcopal and Catholic Churches. The
decorations are unusually handsome, and
the services promise to be of more than
ordinary interest. None of the Protestant
denomination, except the Episcopal, have
announced special services, but at these
churches the services prescribed for tbe
occasion will be performed, and the rec
tors will deliver the customary Christmas
sermon.
. ST. JOHN’S CHURCH.
At St. John's Church there will be
morniDir service, with sermon by the
rector, Rev. Charles H. Strong, and holy
communion at 11 o’clock. The annual
Sunday school festival will not be held
to-day, but to-morrow evening.
The decorations are more elaborate
than last year. The handsome gothic in
terior is festooned with evergreens and
presents a beautiful sight. The
chancel and altar show the
work of deft hands. Before the
super-altar in a scroll is the Christmas
motto, “Thou shall call His name Jesus.”
The joyous words, “Let all the Angels of
God worship Him'’ and “The Desire of all
Nations is Come,” are wrought in bright
letters in the panels below. The altar
cross, wrought in evergreens, is beauti
fully with white and colored
camellias and the fragrant lilies of the
valley. The Christmas emblems above
the altar are beautifully de
signed and the entire decoration
gives evidence of superior taste.
The chancel rail is heavily wound with
evergreens, and the iont, covered with a
mass of vines, is surmounted by an em
blem of immortelles. Tbe pulpit and
lecturn are also decorated. Over the
entrance, and underneath the choir loft,
is the motto, “Sing Unto the Lord in His
btrength.”
The musical services will be especially
appropriate to the day. The programme
includes selections from some of the most
noted composers, and will be preceded by
an organ voluntary composed by Warren,
with Mrs. Burke presiding at the organ.
This will be followed by the singing
of the opening chorus, “And There Were
Shepherds,” one of the masterpieces of the
composer Mallard. The following are tbe
other selections embraced by the pro
gramme :
Vonite by Mothenthall.

priate services with sermon by the
rector, Rev. Thomas Boone, and holy
communion at 11 o’clock, when a collec
tion will betaken as a Christmas testi
monial to the widows and orphans of the
clergy of the diocese. The decora
tions of the interior of this edifice
are exceedingly chaste and beautiful.
Three large festoons of evergreens
pendant from the keystone of the arch
over the chancel and caught on
either side of the altar form a fore
ground to decorations arranged iu a
delicate tracery of evergreens on a crim
son background which ornament the wall
in the rear of the altar. The plan of the
decorative embellishment as shown in
this portion of the church is unique
but remarkably pleasing on ac
count ot its simplicity. Three
large medallions formed by the
vines and cedar, and filled in with ever
green fashioned in the shape of sharp
pointed leaves, are relieved by two large
monograms of Alpha and Omega, In white
raised letters of immortelles on a scar
let ground. The altar is faced by an
altar cloth of white satin, with two deep
gold fringes and ornaments in three foil
of old gold forming a border,
while at the centre is shown a
cross of gold supporting the letters
1. H. S. Above the altar are decorations
in white camellias supporting two large
brass vases filled with roses and white
camellias, while at the centre is shown a
large crown formed of immortelles.
Above the crown the words -Y'rinceof
Peace” form a conspicuous and appro
priate inscription.
The baptismal font Is filled with red
camellias and roses, while the figure ol
the angel supporting the font is shown
kneeling upon a mound of white camellias.
The reading desk and the columns sup
porting the galleries are festooned with
The music which has been selected ior
the morning service by Prof. Atkinson,
choir master, and director, can not but
add to tbe effect of the impressive exer
cises. The choir is a superior one for the
occasion, being composed of some of the
most cultivated talent among the lady
memliers, being the Misses Ellis,
Weed Clay, and Bulloch, and Mrs.
Bassett and Mrs. Atkinson, with Master

SOLEMN MIDNIGHT MASS.
Pontifical Mass at the Cathedral Ush
ers in Christmas Day—lmpressive
Services.
Christmas was ushered in at the Cathe
dral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help with
most solemn services. Beginning at
midnight, Pontifical High Mass was cele
brated by Rt. Rev. Bishop W. H. Gross,
The service was attended by an immense
congregation. The church was brilliant
ly illuminated, aud the altar and
chancel were beautifully decorated
with flowers. Myriad tapers gleamed
amid the floral decorations, and the effect
was as striking as the services were im -
pressive.
The Bishop officiated with Very Rev.

NO POSTMASTER YET.
General McLaws’ Successor Still Unde
cided Upon—The Two Vacant Judge
ship*.
Col. James Atkins, who has been iu
Washington for some days in the interest
of Col. A. N. Wilson’s application for the
Postmastership, returned to Savannah
yesterday. Col. Atkins has also decided
to become an applicant for the position of
Judge of the Northern Judicial District
of Georgia, which is likely to become va
cant through the unfortunate affliction of
Judge McCav.
Speaking of the Postmastership last
evening Col. Atkins said that he had
seen both the President and the Post
master Geueral. He has no doubt of Col.
Wilson’s appointment. The Postmaster
General told him while on his trip to
New Orleans some weeks since that he
would recommend Col. Wilson for the
position, and when he saw him in Wash
ington on Monday he said he had not
changed his mind’ and would send Wil
son’s name to the White House on the
following day. The President gave no
statement as to what he would do, but
Col. Atkins thinks the Postmaster Gener
al’s recommendation will be acted upon.
The Senate having adjourned until Jan.
5 uo lurther nominations for Federal
offices in Georgia will be made until it
meets agaiu. It is learned that the Presi
dent is considering but two Republican
names—those of Farrow and Cunning
ham—for the Judgeship of the Southern
District. Sometime ago the President had
given up the idea of appointing Col. Far
row, but the pressure, it is stateil. has
lieeu renewed at Washington, and the
friends of the applicant are much en
couraged. -
Clearances for Great Britain.
Messrs. Richardson & Barnard cleared
yesterday the British steamship Shildon
for Liverpool with 3,508 bales of upland
cotton, weighing 1,632,781 pounds, 102
bales sea island cotton, weighing 53,252
pounds and 800 sacks cotton seed, the
whole valued at $180,973.
Toe Norwegian bark Carl Johann was

very nauseating flavor of the Oil as heretofore
used, is endowed by the Phosphate of Lime
