On the subject of Christmas gifts
suitable for women, Mrs. Garrett Web
ster, writingjln the Ladies Home Jour
nal, says: Dining tables 6t polished
wood, carved chairs, sideboards, buff
ets, ohina and glass closets and cabi
nets are found at all prices and of all
qualities. The round table, for those
who have a dining-room of sufficient
space to accommodate its dimensions,
will remain to tile end of time tile
shape par excellence, as it not only
seats guests to the best advantage, but
displays the floral decorations and
table service bettor than any other,
Suoh a table makes an extremely hand
some gift.
CHAIRS, HKAD-BKSTS, KTC.
Carved chairs, high or low-backed,
and with or without arms, make most
acceptable gifts, sent singly, in pairs
or in sets. Tile foot-rest is an invalu
able addition to a dining chair, and
one almost an 'essential as ail aid
against floor draughts at places at the
table where ladies are seated. A
charming gift consists of tile head
rest, cushion and upholstered carved
foot-rest for the ohair occupied by the
feminine head of the family.
DAINTY DIS1IKS.
Plates of all kinds, wares and sizes,
and for all purposes, should have first
choioe. Dessert, salad, bread and but
ter, and oyster plates, in crescent
shape, snlted almond individual tiny
squares or circles, useful also ns rest
ing places for olives, come packed in
dainty cases for presentation. Patty
dishes, in the forms of tiny boats,
shells and bowls; bouillon cups, with
double handles and covers, and indi
vidual porridge bowls are beautiful
and useful gifts.
CUT GLASS DISHES.
Ice bowls, oarafes, tumblers, jugs and
dishes of all shapes, and for all pur
poses, are made of out glass. Celery
dishes have returned in style to the
tall glasses, in preference to the low
bo&ts used bo long, and some especial
ly handsome ones are shown. Cut
^lass bottles fpr oil and vinegar are
useful, as are the little cut glass dishes
for bonbons and salted almonds.
LITTLE LOVE REMEMBRANCES.
For somebody else there is a hook to
be gotten, but be sure that it is a book
which will be enjoyed, I do not ad
vise the giving of elaborately Illus
trated books, for 1 think few people
care for them; they are generally put
on Btands, completely forgotten, and
only occasionally opened by a waiting
visitor. Instead, find out, if you can,
what book your friend is longing to
possess, for a woman who loves books
really longs to own her favorites;
then, if you have the time, read the
book yourself and put.here and there a
tiny bit of ribbon or some pretty little
mark that will oall her attention to a
certain passage in which both you
and she may be interested and will be
able to discuss later on.
TUT YOUR HEART IN YOUR GIFT.
These are but a few of the lovely
useful things within the reaoh of
many a purse, but it must be remem
bered by the donor that often the
simplest gift, if weighted with love
and forethought, may give quite as
much of happiness to the recipient as
the costly present selected without
care or interest.
AT IIVIIEN’S ALTAR.
Marringe of Minn Iflyun Krondnwnr to
Mr. A. C. Durden.
U
JY
From Thursday's Kvkniru Hkkald.
At the residence of the bride’s fath
er, Mr. IV. A. Broadaway, this city, at
half-past 3 o’clock this afternoon, Miss
Myna Broadaway was united in mar
riage to Mr. A. C. Durden, the Rev. E,
B. Carroll officiating.
The marriage is regarded by those
who know the high contracting parties
as a most happy one.
The bride is a young lady of hand,
some appearance, and possesses all
those graces ot womanly character
that charm the sterner sex and make
the world brighter and better. She’is
also accomplished in domestic affairs
and well fitted to become the wife of a
good man.
Mr. Durden ii a plain, honest, thor
ough-going, hard-working young man
who has to be known to be appreciated
for his real worth. For two years be
has bad charge of Mr. Morris Wesios-
ky’s “Jeanette" truck and dairy farm,
but is at present employed at the
guano faotory In East Albany.
The Herald tenders its congratula
tions to Mr. and Mrs. Durden, and
joins their many friends in wishing
them a long life of happiness.
Shooting parties for New Year’s
day are already being arranged by
local sportsmen.

From Wodneadny’a Evening llkRALD.
Nearly everybody in Albany knows
Lem Weston, a young Negro who
grow up In this oity, and hns been a
sort of fisherman and a boatman for
sportsmen on tile creeks and river for
several years past.
Lem has been n dissipated, reckless
fellow all his life, and has figured id
many a trouble, spending much of his
time in jail and on the city street
gang. His white friends would pay
him out of these troubles, and then he
would return to his favorite occupa
tion, boating for sportsmen. In this
way he became pampered, and finally
he gut to be so bad that ilia white
friends all forsook him. Then he
went to the penitentiary for a short
term for a murderous assault upon
another Negro.
Two or three months ago Lein went
with some other convicts from the
Dougherty County Court to the
convict camp at the mill of the
Central Georgia Land and Lumber
Company, situnted on the G., S. &
F. road.
Yesterday afternoon, Mr, S. J. Jones,
County Court Solicitor, received a let
ter from tlie Secretary of the company
informing him that Lem had tried to
make his escape from tile convict camp
and met n horrible fate. He attempted
to get on a pass!ogfreight!rain,Imping
to make his escape. The train was
running at the rate of about twenty
miles an hour, and Lem failed to board
it safely. He was thrown under the
train in some way, and one leg nnd
one arm were so badly mangled that
both lltnbs had to be taken off. The
letter to Mr. Jones states that the
patient is receiving the best medioal
attention that can be had for him, and
that he is doing as well as can be ex
pected under the circumstances.
And so when Lem Weston oomes
back to Albany, if lie lives togetbaok,
I10 will come with but but one leg and
one arm. His fate should be a warn
ing to others.
Mr. J. W. Stalnakkh, the present
incumbent of the offloe of Tax Reoelv-
er of Dougherty county, makes form
al announcement in this evening’s
Herald of liis candidaoy for re-elec,
tion. Mr. gtajnaker has given entire
satisfaction to the people of tbe coun
ty, so far as the Herald has heard,
and if be Is to have any opposition in
the January eleotlon’the fact has not
yet developed. He has been highly
complimented by tbe Comptroller Gen
eral upon the neatness and correct,
ness of his books, and it oan certainly
be truthfully Bald for him that the tax
payers of the county have had every
lawful nnd reasonable accommodation
extended to them under his adminis
tration of the office.
National Hanking Act.
A Washington dispatch soys Mr. A.
B. Hepburn, comptroller of the cur
rency, In his annual report just submit
ted makes these Important recommend,
ations:
That the minimum deposit of govern
ment bonds required of national banks
be $1,000 in case of hanks of $50,000 cap
ital, and $5,000 in case of banks whose
capital exceeds $50,000.
That banks be allowed to issue circu
lating notes equal to the par value of
the bonds held to secure circulation.
That the monthly withdrawal of bonds
pledged to secure circulation Bhall not
exceed $4,500,000 in the aggregate.
That the tax on national bank circu
lation be repealed.
That the government issue bonds hav
ing twenty, thirty and forty years to
run at alow rate of interest, with which
to retire tlie present bonded debt of the
United States, which bonds maybe used
as a basis to secure national bank efreu
lation.
International Copyright In Italy.
It is to be hoped that the international
copyright, which has just been pro
claimed as between Italy and the United
States, between President Harrison and
King Humbert., may not throw the plas
ter oast industry on both sides the At
lantic into economical spnsmB. Bnt the
current year has developed, and that the
coming year promises still further to
develop, an almost alarming fecundity
among the sculptors of Italy in the way
of sketches, molds and casts Intended to
‘disfigure and present” everything
which did or did not happen, os well as
every thing which ought and whiah ought
not to have happened to the discoverer
of the New World.
Hardly three weeks ago, for example,
Signor Cesare Orsini (who bears a name
cherished by Italian patriots) opened in
the Via Nagio at Borne “a Columbian
exposition" of models in clay and plas
ter, intended to represent all the possible
and impossible phases of the career of
Columbus. No artist appears to have
dealt with Columbus in his cradle, or
with Colnmhus at the marriage altar,
hut Signor Mncaghanl contributes an
alarming image of an angel whisking
off to heaven the soul of the dying navi
gator, and Signor Guilianotti an aston
ished image of Columbus catohing his
first glimpse of the New World. Nine
at least of these works of art are intend
ed, as our Roman correspondent in
formed ns, to decorate tho Capitol at
Washington. It is to to hoped no time
will be lost by the artistic and msthetio
members of tlie senate and the bonBe in
preparing to receive this wor»hipful emi
gration witli the whole force, if neces
sary, of marines and artillery at the dis-
] losal of tho federal government.—New
York Snn.
I.ovo at First Sight*
Last winter D. W. Little, one of tho
adobe farmers on tlie west of town, shot
Into a hand of geese. A wliito gander
was struck -and lmd one wing broken.
Mr. Little took the goose home and gave
him to his hoys, who doctored his wing,
nnd he soon became so tame as to follow
the hoys wherever they went, eat from
their hands, and even poke his head into
their pockets for corn or wheat. A few
days agq a band of wild geese fiying over
the premises and making their usual
clatter attracted the attention of the do
mesticated gander, which gave an out
landish display of qnacklng and shrill
yells in goose language that had a most
startling effect with the band flying past.
A fine white goose was seen to leave
the band and shoot down nntil it landed
in the yard at the side of the pet, and
the meeting was demonstrative to an ex
citing degree. Their gabbling, quack
ing and amusing anties afforded asmuoh
fun forths hoys who witnessed the meet
ing as they could have found at a circus,
The new arrival refuses to leave, bnt
will fly over the fence when the two are
approached by the boys, and. then fly
back to its mate when the boys step
aside.—Biggs (Cal.) Argus.
The Latoifc Hypnotic Tern.
The latest hynotio yam from the Char-
ite hospital, Paris, casts all its pn '
cessors into tho shade. Dr. Lays, it ap
pears, has been making experiments in
relation to whnt he calls the "exteriori
zation” of the human body, and it is as
serted that he succeeded in transferring
the sensibility of a hypnotized woman
into a tumbler of water. When the
water was touched the woman winced,
and when It was swallowed she went
Into a deadly swoon. How the drinker
felt with another person’s sensibilities
in his vitals is not stated.
Dr. Lnya next undertook to transfer
sensibility from the woman to herpho-
'aph, and sneceeded so admirably
that when he stuck a pin into the picture
the woman screamed. Not only this, bnt
tbe mark of a scratch appeared upon her
hand in exaetly the spot where the pin
hod been applied to the photograph. It
is lucky for Dr. Luys that he is living in
the Nineteenth century, for many an old
woman has been hanged and bnroed for
doing this sort of thing.—Denver Bun.

Th* Ion In Hold Coin.
A remarkable example of the loss of
gold by reason of abrasion came to the
notice of the Chicago customs officials
the other day. George W. Sheldon &
Co. sent $15,000 in gold to the collector
to pay duties. The sum was in eqnal
amounts, made up of $5, $10 and $20
pieces. Tho teller found that the coin
footed up all right taken at its face
value, and it was sent over to the sub
treasury. Pretty soon Word came back
to tho collector that the $15,000 in gold
was $1,985 short weight and the deficit
would have to be made up before a re
ceipt would be issued. Examination
proved that the coin had been abraded
to that extent—nearly 18 per cent.—Bos

One of the queerest election beta was
made between a young gentleman and
hii best girl. He bet on Harrison, and
she took the field; consequently he will
have to pay the forfeit. The bet was'in
this fashion: The loser was to take th*
other to Widemann's any night the win
ner would choose, buy the oyiters for
one, and then stand on a- chair in the
other end of the hall and watch the eat
ing. The girl of coarse has decided to
choose the night when the hall will be
orowded, and thus put the feHow in az
