As will be remembered the Count Monday night invited his Snribo to a meeting in one of the rolling freight palaces of the Mobile and Girard road Tuesday evening ■They met. It was midnight before the Countceasod dictat ing the third chapter of his chronicles to his chosen Kcribe. ‘That," said the Lord High Everything of the Christmas season, “win Bive you my official opinion of a contingent or my particular friends whom I delight to visit as year after year rolls round. As the day draws near and nearer, I myself am more and more becom ing imbued with the spirit, the rapture, the enthusiasm f feel and heur and see around me. The poetry of the Beuson is veritably its most substantial reality. As you know, I deal largely in pleasant reminiscences, but, mark you, they are historical. The llrst that occurs to me just now is my w orthy friend, | J. T.

Mr. lvavauagh has been the favorite grocer from the true he began business. He is wise in his generation, and at certain seasons of the year he knows what manner of things are in demand, and, what is much better, he lias an intuition of what you can ail'ord to pay. If you are still skeptical, go and see them yourself, and you will And that a better selection of groceries was never brought out thau is to be found at Kavanagh’s. There are all kinds of novelties and novels at THOMAS CHAFFIN’S book store, and when a new book is published Chaffin will be the first to get it. You should be the second. Christmas literature has gone on year after year expanding in volume to such an exleut that the most diflicult thing—next to writing a Cnristmas puff or any other literary work—is the selection of the “most beautiful book” as a Christmas book. That all comes of the fact that the names of the most beautiful books are legion. A call at Chaflin’s will telieve .you of 90 per cent, ofthe vexatious trouble of hav ing assumed the responsibility ofehoosinga gem. You will And that his establishment is always well supplied with the standard works, beauti fully bound in the style most suitable for doing the handsome thing at d very moderate outlay. He has all the latest novels, the latest essays aud the latest magazines and periodicals. His show windows will also tell you that he deals in the fine arts. He always has on exhibition the most charming engravings, prints, etc., certaimy as «heap as may be had at any place in Columbus. Mr. Chaffin contributes very largely to the an- ! nual fluid for the proper enjoyment of C hristmas. ! And talking about Christmas, ah. there, PHILIP EIFLER. The Christmas season brings about the usual 1 epidemic deoire to go “to shoot.” Most people -do exactly what they go to do, and return inno- j cent of blood. It should be stated, however, that ] in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred that it is I the fault of the musket. Last seasou there were hundreds of clerks “off for the day and for the country,” who, it is said, killed several birds. It is understood that there will be a great deal more , shooting done than at ever before. The equip- ; inentoftlie modern Nimrod is a matter reuuir- ! ing mote than ordinary attention and care. A good gun and trustworthy ammunition are prime ^ necessities, aud both of these can be had at our ! old and worthy friend, Philip Eifler. He is well supplied with all the heavy ordnance in the j shape of muzzle-loaders and breech-loaders that , will be required. His establishment is the head- ■ quarters for firearms, including everything from the handsomest little revolver to the best brcecli- loading guu in the market. He also deals largely | in firecrackers aud has them at wholesale and re- 1 tail. These fur the boys, and D. J. FEILER can fit the boys out in good style. This is the season of the year when the boys’ soul, filled with visions of the coming Christinas, boils over with exhilaration, aud with that instinctive wis dom which conies of experience he seeks the most popular place to spend his fractional cur rency. So do the larger boys and girls and their fathers and uncles, and if “Pinafore” were not j somewhat an antiquated source of quotation, 1 1 would also say their sisters and their cousins and theiraunts. But they go there-to Feiler’s-all the same, and they stay there until they get ex actly what they want and at prices to suit the veriest economist in Columbus. I’ve been 1 hot e myself Christmas after Christmas, and I shall call there again this Christmas with a basket big enough to hold the bundled up wrapped-up hap piness of all the little folks in Columbus. The man or boy or girl who has lived i*» Columbus and has not made a visit to Feller’s and bought ever so little ofthe thousand sweet things in the line of his confectionery, has a very gieat deal o that life to be lived over again.

The 1 Mquetle of the Bcauilfhl and Pleasant Custom of Remembering nnd living Remem bered Uv Friends »t the Joyous Season When the Great Sunday of the Year Downs lipou the Forth. It would seem nt. first sl^ht that the only etiquette of a Christmas gift was in the first place to send it, and in the second place to write u note to acknowledge it; out there is a wide field of conjecture, un certainty and appropriateness to be con sidered in this but too commonly overdone and sometimes neglected subject. We must first question our own motives in the making of Christmas gifts. It is a holy season, one sent to us to remind us that Christ gave “Himself” for us, nothing less, and that we nre especially reminded by Him of the poor nnd the afflicted, to whom the gloom of a northern winter is only broken by this festival. We should thus be warned against ostentation, nor give gifts lo be praised for it, and to com mand the presentation of other gifts. There is loo much f that in the ordinary interchange of society. It even influences sometimes the making of wills. “To him that hath shall be given,” and the ten dency of money to join money is one of the great correlative forces of I he universe. At Christinas we should try to reverse all that, and to “send to him who hath not.” We must give ourselves with our Christ mas gifts, that host, part of ourselves—our thought and consideration. “What does my friend need?” Those should be the questions which we should ask ourselves. Let us, above nil, BE GENEBOU3 TO YOUNG MOTHERS, the wives of struggling men. No people in the world need money so much as these. Husbands even do not always know how the heart so near to thorn is aching for money enough for u warm cloak, a decent gown, or, still more, for a better, school suit for Bobby. Men talk of the extrava- goous were buught late ami they have the ganee. and thoughtlessness of women, and, advantage of the very lowest prices, of which I !ls Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe once said, they give their customers the benefit. No drug I store in the city does better business and they ! deseri e every part cle ofthe patronage received, i The name of WELLS St CUItTIS is as well known as that of any business enter prise in tlie south. They do business in a quiet way, but at the same time on an extensive scale. Their store is inexhaustible and they are con stantly engaged shipping or receiving year in and year out. They have a full and varied assort ment of boots and shoes that cannot be excelled in tlie city. Their wares are a standing invita tion to the bade, and the invitation is being more largely accepted from year lo year. Those who call will call again. No one ever went nwav from this establishment without a good bargain or the satisfaction of knowing that tho firm is at the head of the Christmas class in the way of solid and substantial goods, and at the foot in the way of popular prices. And talking about things that are popular, the SANS SOIICI saloon is one of the most popular in the city. The best liquors are mixed in tlie highest style of tlie art, and one need not go home with “a head on him.” They have the finest wines, brandies, whiskies, beers, that can bo had. An excellent smoke is another disideratum and they keep the best brands of cigars. Hot “Tom and Jerry” will have the run Christmas and they have it. If you drink an eggnog, go there to get it. THE COLUMBUS IRON WORKS is a household name with railroad men, steam boat men, and, in fact, all the men who make up the industrial population of Georgia, Alabama, Florida and a dozen other states. When I made my first visit to tho iron works about-well, a good many years ago—I found a great deal of difficulty iu telling what X could take in at a glance of their tremendous stock. It has multi plied wonderfully since then, and now it would take a whole chapter with an appendix to men tion the cotton gins, tlie boilers, the engines, the giant cotton presses, tlie feeders, the condensers, and in fact, everything from a wheel barrow up to a steamboat. The managers of this institution not only understand their own busi ness thoroughly, but if you arc going lo work on anything in their line, they, from long experi ence, know more about your business than you do yourself. They have a paternal way of giving advice to young men who ure about to eugage in business. The number of those who have suc ceeded by first consulting this firm is large, and “there are men who wonder what a wo man etui do with flvo dollars.” The truth is that women, as a class, are far more eco nomical than men, and that they are un selfish us to their own expenditures. Let every man remember his own struggling mother, who would, like the c ider duck, have torn tlie down from her own gentle breast in order ttiat lie shoul 1 be warm. Strengthen the hands of these gentle, uncomplaining women, who are doing the work of the world silently, ye who have gifts to make at Christmas. Do not be afraid to send a check,instead of a bonbonniore or a bunch of flowers. It may save a life, buy a needed journey to tlie south, cure a bad cough, or pay for a child’s schooling. Send to your rich mend, who collects “old blue” a piece of the choicest which your purse can buy, but do not send bric-a-brac to your old uncle in the country, who would prefer a pair of gold rimmed spectacles, a good lamp to rend by or a subscription to the most readable paper ofthe day. There was a millionaire once in New York—ho died long ago, and his good deeds . re seldom mentioned—who was A CHAMPION CHR1STMAS-GIFT MAN. Ho busied himself lor months in flnding out what troubled his friends, aud when Christmas came he presented them with a quit claim of a mortgage or redeemed a cote bearing interest which had been run ning a long time. He paid the boy’s col lege dues, and sent the ailing daughter to Europe. He spent no money in gewgaws, but he pulled i lie thorn out ofthe aching flesh. That is the sort of Christmas gift which all would like to give. To go to each hospital, to take away the pain and leave a pleasure, to visit tlie prisoner and captive, to bring him liberty and light and air. But this is not in the power of even the milliouaire. It is- only He who gave Himself” for us who can do this. But we Baris. She is a niece of our minister to England, Phelps, and her family reside in this city. For about four years the young lady lias been employed as a typewriter in tlie office of Ooramoaore Walker, the chief ofthe bureau of detail, receiving a salary of $900 a year. The number of officers who have typewriting to he done is astonish ing, and they ull want to superintend the work. The young lady does not appear to be aware, of her attract ions, but must per force notice ttiat the ot her typewriters are not in such demand as herselt. When she leaves tlie department at night there are generally two or more officers accidentally waiting in the corridor to escort her safely down the eluvutor aud see her to the street car. ' THE NEW SOUTH. Transfer of Hie Albany Stovo YYorks to Tennes see—Mr. Innnian’i Works—lYliat Judge Kelley Thinks— Prootk of Development. Washington, December 18.—Congrosa- MeMillan, of Tennessee, says that his state is now having a greater boom of prosper ity than lias ever been known in its his tory. Tho coni and iron possibilities of Tennessee can hardly bo exaggerated. The fact that iron can lie produced and sol’d at. a figure below the actual cost of produc tion in Pennsylvania, has turned ninny capitalists toward this state. Mr. McMil lan says that Mr. Perry, of the great Albany Stovo Works, is now in Tennessee arranging to transfer his entire plant to Little Pittsburg. Mr. Perry found that the stove makers of Nashville were underbidding him in every direction and particularly in furnishing supplies for government contracts. The Nashville stoves have crowded out all others in the purchases by the government for tho Posts in the south and west. Mr. Perry could undoubtedly have remained in New York il he could have retained convict labor, lie had 500 convicts at his works up to the lime such labor was for bidden b.v law. It was he who employed Ford Ward. Mr. Perry says that Mr. Ward was put on his books after a preliminary experience ns a stove-polisher, but he found to his groat surprise that this Napoleon of Wall street hardly know tho rudiments of mathematics and was able to add a column of figures correctly only with difllolty. He had to go to work and learn how to keep books as if ho were a novice. Mr. McMillan is confident that Tennes see will soon be tlie rival of Pennsylvania. Western Pennsylvania nt present has great advantages since the discovery of natural gas. They are now hunting in Tennessee for this fuel and expoet to nnd it. If they do tho Tennessee manufactur ers wifi be able to cut more sharply Into the Pennsylvania iutercsta. They make pig iron now so that they can sell it Ibrf!) a ton; while it costs about $11 a ton, I am told, to produce it in Pennsylvania. Mr. McMillan thinks that with natural gas as a cheap fuel the Tennessee people will bo able to go beyond their present competi tion and undersell northern manufacturers in the secondary forms of iron, where they do not at present compete. T asked Judge Kelly about this the other day. The judge has recently been through Tennessee for tho purpose ot finding out how seriously Pennsylvania interests were being threatened. The judge said that there was not the slightest danger for any of the substantial industries of tlie slate. It was true that Tennessee would soon drive out the manufacture of pig iron in Pennsylvania, but there was a constant in crease of the skilled labor of Pennsylvania, and with the extra stimulus of extra com petition great improvements would be made in the already highly organized con dition of the manufacture of iron nnd steel in that state. They would simply improve what they already have and would be able to defy "all competition through their skill. The development of the riches of Ten nessee can be directly charged to Mr. the great southern milliouaire can all do something.

It seems that they fell cut about a game of pool or billiards and Worthen shot at Baldwin three times, but without effect. Bald win closed in upon Worthen andl'used his knife with damaging results. Both gentlemen are wet) known in this city. “Kit Warren.” This celebrated humorist, in a well written article in a recent number of the Sunny South, published in Atlanta, Ga., Everywhere I go I hear of unadvertised and Stable fares affected by “Swift s Specific,” and this is compelled to be the experience of every man who travels and talks For example, I was going in a bug gy to'town (Senoia) a few mgnts ago with Sr John McKnight, when the conversa tion turned to the possibility of curing 0a iThey can be cured ” said he. “I cured nnc a genuine, well developed, long Standfng euncer-and it’s been well several years and the former victim is stout and he “Uow did you cure it?” I asked. “Did jmuinform Swift of the cure ?“ “Whv no; what’s the use?

And, Blind don’t fall into the.:onimon listake which represents the praise them. As for these delightful guests of the hu man race, THE DEAR CHILDREN, it seems as if Christmas came for them, to add another blessing to their full cup. It is not hard to know what to buy for a pros perous child ill these days of books and mechanical ponies, who not only trot round the room, but go to their.stables and shut the door. It is of far more impor tance to the true Christmas giver to go to the schools and to watch for the boy with the observant eyes to find out what iH his passion. Is it drawing? Then give him a “■ood set of drawing tools and a box of col ors. Many a Leslie and a Benjamin West is lying dormant within the ragged jacket of some poor boy at the schools. Find out that latent spark of genius and fun it into life. But we must buy a gift sometimes for the mere pleasure of giving. We must give lo some one richer than we are, some one who has the claim of friendship upon us. It is here that the trouble begins. How can we give anything to a friend who has everything? One article of one’s own make would be the compli mentary gift. If a painter, one has but to take the best study from his easel; if a sculptor, a wood carver, the deed is easily accomplished. A woman can embroider a sofa cushion, a scre.-u or a pair of slippers, perhaps something better, but there are some people who can do none of these things and they must buy their gift. Well, .. — l ! et, giving only the consideration and ^ no matter, if the” money value is small, it will have a value fur above rubies. M ARK I TS BY TELEUMPH. Finiinc'ial.
