Jis what you use under "stoves on the floor. 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. F«r If die mr Real. The Sikes residence just west and adjoining the water-works station. For terms apply to 10-1-w Jones & Sjiith. 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. COTTON REPORT.

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 ton Globe. Call on your grocer oranges. for Weston 22-d30t J. W.
