CHRISTMAS.
How th Holiday Weak Went Off in Our
City.
As com pared with previous Christ
mas weeks the one just passed was
dull. The negroes, even, perchance
from the lack of money, did not carry
their jollifications to near the extent
as is their wont, and we expect the
lack of lucre spiked many a fire
cracker of the juveniles. The pinch
ing, pressing times are successfully
shutting off the accustomed hilarity
which characterizes the holidays in
the South.
The young ami old people, how
ever, had several little pleasant occa
sions during the week, the first of
which was an elegant private Christ
mas tree at the residence of Colonel
A. Johnson ou Christmas eve night.
It was very much enjoyed by the
little ones of the family.
Christmas day w’as dreary and wet,
but this did not prevent a number of
the small boys and colored popula
tion from firing off a limited amount
©f fire-crackers. After dinner the
average old citizen picked the turkoy
from his teeth and lazily waded
through tho muddy streets full up
with good eating and good will for
all. An elegant Christmas breakfast
at the residence of Mr. Wm. H.
Ilackett was an allair of the day. At
night the elite of the city assembled
at the christening of the New Opera
House by
THE WALLACK TRIPOLOGUE TROUPE
The house, though not finished,
pleased all. It was brilliantly light
ed, and the elegant little set of porta
ble scenery of the Wallaeks set the
stage off handsomely. The pro
gramme was a pleasant, entertaining
and chaste one and was carried out
by the three performers in an artistic
and praiseworthy manner. Mr.Wat
ty Wallack is an artist whose many
years of labor on the stage has placed
him at tho head of the profession and
he justly deserves all the laurels he
has won. Mr. J. A. Rider is perfect
ly excruciating in his droll comic
songs and acting. Especially happy
is he in his great specialty of “The
Hungry Army.” But the bright,
particular star of the troupe is Fan
nie Wallack. Her every appearance
before the footlights was greeted with
deafening applause. She has a splen
did voice in song, but it did not show
off to the best advantage because she
was compelled to play her own ac
companiments, which, of course, is a
drawback to any singer. In the
many characters she assumes she is
artistic and beautiful. Her pretty
face, sylph-like form and charming
vivacious manners carry by storm
the heart of every one in the audi
ence. Jne troupe putycu vnrvc irrgrrrs

DINNER AT MRS. TUMLIN’S.
A small number of friends assem
bled at the elegant mansion of Mrs.
Lewis Tumlin, on Thursday, to par
take of obg of those elegant dinners
for which tho hostess is so famous.
There were present: Col. Miles G.
Dobbins and lady, Captain Peacock
and Indy, F. P. Gray and Jady ; Jere
E. Field and lady, Mrs. Humphreys,
Misses Field, Miss Lulu Peacock,
Misses Tumlin, M. M. Scott, J. C.
Tumlin, Lewis Erwin and this bohe
mian. Mrs. Tumlin, assisted .by
Misses Goldsmith and Veal, of Stone
Mountain, and her son, the big
hearted Henry, did the honors,of tho
occasion. The table was loaded with
solid comforts and delicacies, with
sparkling wines to wash it all down.
This was the most pleasant of all the
Christmas events to this writer, and
he will never live to forget it.
THE POUND PARTY.
A pound party was given at the
residence of Mr. John T. Owen on
Friday evening. We regret our ina
bility to attend this pleasaut event,
but learn it was not exceeded in
brilliancy and elegance by any party
ever given in our village. There
was a large attendance, and we hear
of many sweet tales being poured in
tho ears of lovely maidens on that
night.
THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
was beautifully decorated on Christ
mas day. There being no minister
here, services wore not held on that
day. This decoration is a most beau
tiful custom of the church and we
were glad t© see it observed by the
faithful few of our city.
DANCE OUT THE OLD —DANCE IN THE
NEW.
Perhaps the largest as well as the
most brilliant social gathering of the
season assembled on the night of New
Year’s Eve in the parlors of the Bar
tow House, in response to a cordial
invitation of the geneious hostess,
Mrs. P. Marsh. The elegant Mariet
ta string band was employed for the
occasion, and to its dulcet notes those
who felt inclined (aud they were in
the majority) gilded through the
mazy waltz and marched through
the graceful lancers and the jolly
quadrilles. Never before did the
beauty of our little village shine with
more radiancy ami brilliancy nor
the boys look more handsome and
courtly in their full dress costumes.
About ten o’clock toe guests ceased
their terpsichorean enjoyments and
assembled around a table laden with
those delicacies which Mrs. Marsh
alone knows how to prepare. Col.
Crawford, though a youthful gentle
mao of some sixty years, very gal
lantly gave the toast of the evening:
“May there be many marriages and
flaw deaths.” Every youngster in
the room felt inclined to bring about
the first, though it should involve an
approximation of the latter wish of
the toast. After supper the assem
blage listened with delight to numer
ous songs given by Miss Clara Stovall
and Mrs. Fuqua. This singing was
the most pleasant feature of the even
ing’s enjoyment.
NEW YEARS’ DINNERS, RECEPTIONS,
ETC.
There were several elegant dinners
given by families to friends. Among
the most extensive was that one at
the residence of Mr. F. P. Gray and,
u dy. This couple, though young at
house-keeping, served nil elegant
dinner to their friends.
There was a reception at the resi
dence of Captain C. T. Shelnaan at
night, at which the elite of theStiles
boro neighborhoed assembled. The
hospitable fame of “Etowah Heights”
was well sustained.
The custom of New’ Year's calling
having never yet been fairly inaugu
rated among our society people,
but two ladies received on that day.
Miss Lillie Johnson, assisted by Miss
Beatrice Bacon, of Atlanta, and
Misses Shepherd and Peacock, of
this city, entertained a number of
callers at the residence of her father.
As he entered, each visitor was struck
with intense admiration of the bril
liant scene before him. The recep
tion room was beautifully decorated
with evergreens, holly aad fall leaves.
Through an open door, over which
in an arch of evergreens, were the
words “A Happy New Year—lß7B,”
could be seen the snowy drapery of
the refreshment table upon which
arosfe deliciously arranged pyramids
efthe daintiest auliuary delicacies.
To this table the visiter wns escorted
by one of the Naiad* and bountifully
helped to the feast. The whole scene
would put to his best descriptive
powers the man who writes up those
beautiful stories about fairy grottos,
e te. Asa hostess, Miss Johnson
is cordial, brillunt and entertain
ing. She was attired in a black tar
letan, made princesse, with Eugenie
train. The scarf drapery was of ashes
of roses, and the trimmings corres
ponded with the drapery; Miss Ba
con was arrayed in a black silk, with
Malita polonaise of lace—crimson
trimmings and coral jewelry. Miss
Shepherd wore an evening dress,
draped with white scarf, looped with
cameo colored roses; the jewelry
were beautiful cameos. Miss Peacock
wore dark silk with Claudine cor
sage of cell blue —pearl ornaments.
At the Bartow ilonse Mis. Fuqua,
assisted by Miss Nellie Ward, of Ce
dartown and Mrs. Thomas, welcomed
and received in the most gracious
manner a number of friends. After
dispensing delicious cakes and ruby
wines, Mi’s. F. announced that the
occasion was not a fashionable New-
Year’s reception, but that each guest
was cordially invited to be seated
and have a good social time. This
invitation the visitors accepted, and
for an hour or more were entertained
by the brilliant speeches and witti
cisms of the ladies. Mrs. F. has
been spending several weeks In our
city and has won a host of friends
and admirers by her elegance of bear
ing and brilliant musical attain
ments.

The festivities were all enjoyed, an'd,
as the beys carefully fold away their
swallow-tails in camphor-fumed re
coptacles, they all feel that this is one
more golden mile-post on the track of
time, and sincerely trust that each
succeeding one may be as pleasant
and happy.

A Pleasant Occasion.
On the evening of December 20th,
the writer wie the fortunate gaeet of
Capt. James M. Lackey, our re
elected city marshal, at a supper
given by him at the Bartow House
in this city. Quito a number of so
ciable and agreeable gentlemen were
present, among them our new Mayor
Col. A. P. Wofford, ex-Alderman
A. It. Hudgins, Hon. Thomas H.
Baker and several of tfie new city
officials. It is not often that such a
treat is enjoyed by any one, and I
doubt if it has ever Weeu the good for
tune of any of those present to spend
a few hours so agreeably and to hav©
placed beforo them a more tempting
repast, which was enjoyed beyond
question. Everything passed, off
splendidly, and it is worthy of re
mark that not a drop of spirits of any
kind was about the table or the house,
but truly an enjoyablo occasion en
gendered by the general good feel
ing of all present. We must not for
get, however, the kind host and
hostess of the Bartow House, who so
carefully looked after the enjoyment
of all present. Surely there cannot
be found kinder-hearted or more hos
pitable hosts than Mrs. Marsh and
Uutle Peter. Long may they live
and a prosperous lifts be theirs.
As to Mr. Lackey his hospitality
was appreciated to the greatest ex
tent, and the general wish was and
is, that he may live to enjoy many
such successes as Ids last, and also re
member his fellow creatures as on
the occasion above referred to. Suc
cess to him and his.

CAUAHU OF TIIK OU) YEAR.
Tiie old year has put on the grey
of Winter and looks aged. I remem
ber, when in his infancy, he laughed
at the boisterous puffs of January
wiud that hailed his birth. I saw
him <£uuce in youthful exhuDoaanoe
when Spring welcomed him to hr
flowery bosorn, and spread her soft,
rich carpet of green for his feet.
The gay young year foil in love
with beautiful Spring, but she was
Mquettish and shy, yet the blush
of young roses dyed her cheekg when
he smiled on her, and, as he yet lin
gered iu her sunshiny presence, she
smiled and gave him lovely flowers;
and her sweet laughter, aoft and
musical, rippled lu ail the little
brooklets. But the year, now grown
t manhood, saw Summer and loved
her glowing, radiant beauty; sweet
Spring sighed, to bo thus forsaken,
and, meeting her one morning, I saw
her lovely face sullused in dewdrop’s
tears.
Then queenly A ultima aUraetad
the fickle yoar, who admired her
rich brown tinge, and longed for
her abundant wealth; but Autumn
playfully tossed his locks with the
soft, warm br atli of her gentle
wind, and told him that all her
wealth of grain and fruit was prom
ised to Winter, who even now was
growing Jealous, and followed her
closely, and, should he come too
near, would speak hoarsely and
coldly, to find her holding this fete
a-tetv, she told him, too, that Win
ter boded him no good—in fact,
would punish him with death , for
his heartier flirting with sweet,
gontle Spring, This sobered the
middle aged year; he reflected on
his coming doom, and bow I
him growing old; his hicks are
grey: his step grows feeble; he
his fate; remembering the
ni'.iyiiMr liiaekijior , A ntnmr. r-—--J
made, he piteously begs of Winter
a last resting place. I suppoee stern
\N inter’s heart has softened, or
Spring, thinking of lien- old lave,
sent back a sunshiny day; and, as
Winter beholds his swift decline, lie
feels sorrowful and lends his lap to
support the drooping head of the
dying year! Ruth.

Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, late
a Conlederateßrigadier General, was
interviewed by a reporter in Wash
ington, and announced bis intention
to present at an early day a consti
tutional amendment forever bailing
all schemes ot secession, for the pay
ment of the Confederate debt, or for
th© payment of pensjorjs to Confed
erate soldiers.
In an interview with a New York
correspondent, Mr. Henry Waiter
son stigmatized Win. E. Chandler’s
reference to him as wanton, malici
cious and false, having not the least
foundation in fact or surmise or the
ory, except the bare circumstances of
his chance relationship to Senator
Stanley Matthews.
The talk in political circles, at
Washington, just now, is all about
Chandler’s letter; and it is asserted
that an effort, will certainly be made,
shortly after Congress re assembles,
'%o hare the charges so broadls made
by him investigated.
