"We had good idea of the quantity of Christmas things bouchtthc day before, and were surprised to see that there was no let up yesterday. It was absolutely useless to try to hunt up any other newt; it was nothing but Christmas and Christmas gifts. "When the reporter asVed anjbody for an item, the reply was: "One don't want any news to-morrow pitch in and buy something for Christmas and to nicht just write up a Christmas sermon. So the reporter fired his hat in the air and: Christmas it As then- He went up to the post office and met a friend, of AVestfield, X. Y., who was admiring the handsome display of Christmas goods in the P. O. book store. He said to the reporter: "You have a wonderful city here." The reporter invited his friend to accompany cim on a -visit to the principle stores. They stepped into the big establishment of Innes & Itoss which was crowded with customers. The friend said: "I Incw that yourstores were very large, fcut I had no idea that they carried such immense stocks of goods." Have you many such stores as this! 0! yes; come with me, and I will .allow you around. They next visited the mammoth book store of Harding & Fisher which was packed full of people, and cveeybody so busy they had no time to talk. The eastern man was surprised. The next place visited 'was tbe'Xcw York store. This house was full of customers, and the store presented a daz zling appearance, but was rather too full of goods to get anvthing like a good view of the inside, there was a thick forest of goods Cash Henderson expressed regret that he was too busy to talk or show us around. Our friend said lie never saw anything like it. Crossing ever to the Citizen's bank, we went tip the other side oOIain street and entered the Finlay Koss big furniture store. "AYhyr said the eastern man, "this is the largest furniture store I ever saw." The next place entered was Munson's , and it pre sented a dazzling appearance, so beautifully was it dressed. Mr. Munson left his busi ness and showed us around. Our friend was astonished at the magnitude of tho establishment and at the extent and eleganco of the stock, ltobison Brothers was the next place isitcd and here again as a crowd of people and an im mense stock. Vi'e next entered Hoffmastcr & Son's boot and shoe store which also as tonished our friend. It Iticht & Son's store was next reached, which compared favora bly with those already visited. The next place was Edward Vail & Co.'t big jewelry store. "Why," said our friend, "all your stores seem to be wholesale houses, judging from the immense stocks they carry." AVcll now, tsid tho reported, let us visit soma of the wholesale houscj. I Arriving at tho wholesalo grocery, wo took a look through. Why, said tho New I York man, thi must hao.i 5100,000 stock ! hero. J. AV. Johnson & Co.' wholesale dry goods establishment was next visited. Our friend said it was astonishing, hut 10 w, from what he had already seen, he would not bo surprised at anything. "When I go home, said he, and tell them what I taw, they won't beliei e it. "We next visited Larimer fc San son's dry goods house, Selh Thomas' and Yost & Benson's jewelry stores, all of which wero dressed in holiday attire and were full of people buying holiday goods. "We visited the banks, and our friend said he would like to see a statement of the years business in all this great city. F. "W. Covcrdale's clothing house was next visited and some of their prices ascertained. Tho Xew York man said that goods of tho same quality could not bo bought as cheap in his town, though it was to much nearer the great marts of the east. E. P. Hovcy'f and tho Philadelphia storo were visited, and here tho stocks were as large and fine, and the prices as low as in former places. "We next took in "William Cassel's jewelry store,! which, together with Lawrences drug store, was a beautiful sight to sec. Bitting Bros, clothing house attracted our friend's attention, and we entered. Here again ho said he was amazed but now he was pre pared for anything. The Golden llula store. Hecht's jewelry store, Israel Bro.'s establish ment, and the Chicago IUrgain house wero visited, and all were doing a fine trade. The cracker factory was also visited, which still further astonihrf the 'Wcstfield man. The last place isitcd was the "Famous Clothing House," and 31 r. Goldstein showed us around the immense establishment, and quoted prices that surprised even the re porter. Our scribe promised to do tlw remainder of the city with his friend somo other day, and now for Christmas. Having Fun. Xew York. Dec. 21.

CHRISTMAS TIDE. There's a magical found on the wintry air That breathes of olden times, And our tuneful hearts respond in prayer To the singing of Christmas chimes. It drifts from the ages of long ago, From the bills of far Judea, And it sinks on the soul as it tumbles along Like the wavelets on Galilee. It tells of a babe in the manger born 'Neath the stars ot a winter sky, Of a glimmering cross and a glittering crown, The hope of redemption nigh. It tells of the lowly shepherd band That watched their flocks on the hills afar, And noted over the manger stand The wondrous guide the Bethlehem star. Of the glittering angels that eastward came, And attuned their heart to one grand "amen!" As the chorus rang in words of flame "Glory to God, goodwill toward men!' Years have not distanced the beautiful lay That rings out yet with the Christmas chime, And the hearts of men will respond for aye, "While its music sings through the valley of time. Hbs. M. E.

The small voice rang out, shrill and eager, on tho crisp evening air, and J. P. Fernald, senior member of the firm of Fernald & Co., turned and looked down into the child's animated face, uplifted with an anxious in quiry shining through the large, dark eyes, made larger andeeeaingly darker, by want and poverty. "Santa Claus I ha, ha, that is a joke," said Mr. Fernald, good-naturedly, viewing the immense bundle in his arms, from which protruded a doll's foot through an opening in the paper that enveloped it, and whose uneven surface bore a wonderful resemb lance to Santa Claus' mysterious package. "Well, my little mon, it does look like it; but how did you find me out?" "Oh, sir," cried the child, with an expres sion of rapt admiration on his small pinched face, "I knew you in a minute, 'cause you looks just like your picturo in tho toy-shop windows. There's the long, white whiskers, an' tho white hair, an' the fur cap, an' the great overcoat, an' the bundle of toys you're o-goin to give to tho rich children to-night. I've stood on the corner here ever so long, a-waitin' for you to come along. I knew you'd come down this street, sure, 'cause tho rich children live here" The child talked rapidly, catching his breath between the sentences, as though frightened at his boldness in addressing so great a personage as Santa Claus. "And what did you want to see me for, my little man," said Mr. Fernald, taking both little blue-veined hands in one of, his gre.i warm ones. "I wanted to tell you where wo live, sir. I guess you don't know, 'cause you never find us, an' Tom Tom's my big brother; he's most twelve years old, an' help ma lots. He earns much as fifty cents some days, an ma dont know how she'd ever get long 'thout Tom. Well, Tom says that you don't care one bit about the poor little children; that you'd just as lief they'd starve on Christmas day as on any other day; but you must 'cuse Tom, sir. He works hard an' gets tired, ar.d then he's cross. When I looked at your picture in tho toy-shop win dows, I said to myself: 'Bobby Brown, don't you believe it of Santa Claus. He does care for all the children, only he don't know where to find you, that's all.' Was I right, sir?" "I think you were, my boy. I certainly do not know where you live," said Mr. Fer nald, in an unsteady voice, for tho child's trusting faith in Santa Claus, who had never brightened a Christmas for him, touched the rich man's heart as it had not been touched for many a month. "I tell you where I lhc, an' how many there is, an everything," cried Bobby, breathlessly, "so 't you can't 'stake the place. My ! won't Kelly be glad 't you found us. I won't tell Tom that I hinted, 'cause he'd say it wasn't perlite of me to do it But you see, sir, I couldn't let this Christmas go by 'thout finding you, 'cause Nelly Nelly's a little thing, sir, only five last summer an Nelly is talkin' all the time 'bout a Christmas dolly an' it makes poor ma cry to have her tell what she'll do with her dolly. You won't forget tho doll for Nelly, sirT" "No," said Mr. Fernald, writing something in a little book. "Step into the store with me, my boy. It will bo mere comfortable for you. I see your clothes are thin." "Yes sir, they wear out faster than ma can mend 'em. Little Paul's only feur, sir, an I guess he'd like some candy best of any thing, an' maybe, if 'tisn't too much, an orange, too. You'll remembar li'tle Paul, sir!" "Yes, yes, l'e got him down. Now who else!" "There's Tom, sir. Tom is such a good brother, an' has to be out in the cold all day. I do wish Tom could have some warm mit tens; an' his shoes are most gone, but I guess the mittens will do. He'll bo awfully glad to get 'em. Is Tom's naaio do wn ! " "Yes, Tom's name is down." Mr. Fernald looked up, waiting for the child to continuo his requests. "That's all, sir, 'ceptin' ma, an' ma needs most ocrythin', but I guess she treads a shawl most." "But jou, my little man, is there nothing you need for!" - "No. sir, I don't need anvthing. I'll be so glad to see the rest, an' I'll have my se cret "bout meetin' you for my Christmas. Oh, it'll be the jolliest Christmas ever wos; an wonit ma wonder, an' won't Tom be s"orised.aa' wron't Nelir dance about! I guess Tom'll change his mind 'bout you. J pretty quick, sir." ' Bo'bbv nodded his head, emphaticallv, and ,;. .".w i in ... " I his eyes twinkled like stars. m "owtcllme where you live, Bobby." said Mr. Fernald, with a warm glow at hi Ijert, J .. ,.,, .. ,. .. . I The child gave the directions very mm-' ctely. Then Mr. Fernald sent him borne, J and I doubt if there was a happier child in , happi all the land than Bobby Brown. Mr. Fernald then retraced his steps, visit ing a clothing cstablisbmant. a shoe store, a tivbop, the confectioner's, the baker's the grocer's, and at each place, after giving his orders, be requested that be sent, tne erst tomg in tne morning, I certain address, and left at Mrs. Brown's room with Santa Ore' compliments. I Bobby tossed restlessly in his bed that I night. How could he sleep with such a ' wonderful secret on his mind: At every sound he started nervously, and listened at tentively until the sound had ceased. To ward morning he fell asleep, and was only awakened by Tom kindling a fire in old stove. jO. j "Has be come yet!" cried Bobby, spring ion out of bed. Who!" asked Tom. Bat Bobby pretended to be too busy about his wardrobe to heed Tom's question. He felt chargrined that he had so nearly be frayed hi precious secret. Mrs. Brown, with a weary sigb, put the last potato in the oven, and wondered where the dinner, for those hungry little mouths, was to come from. Her faith in God's care was sorely tried at time. Poor woman, her burdens were heavy to bear. Suddenly there came a knock at the door. "It's him," cried Bobby, springing for ward to open it. "Here's a basket for the Widow Brown, which Santa Claus sent from the grocery, with his compliments," said the man thrust ing a large basket in at the door, and disap pearing before a question could be asked. Before the contents were half taken out, another rap came at the door, and another basket wo thrust in. " From the bakery, with Santa Claus' com pliments," said the man briskly, slamming the doer behind him. Such a basket full of good things as that one was! The children stood about it in. wide-eyed wonder, until little Paul broke the spell, by snatching a handful of brown gin ger-cookies. "Santa Claus compliments," announced a voice at the door, and a large bundle which proved to he good stout shoes for the chil dren all around, was thrust in, and before the door could be closed, more bandies fol lowed. By this time the little ones were capering about the room in the wildest delight. Tom stood with the stove-handle in one hand, and an expression of blank amazement on his face, a perfect statue of surprise. Mrs. Brown had sank into a chair, and with clasped hands and tearful eyes, was viewing the present which seemed literally to shower down upon them, and which meant so much of comfort and happiness to berlittleJamiiyvi JBobby was the only one who did not seem to be at all surprised at the generous dis play. Xor did he cease to regard the door with anxiety until the doll and the candy, together with other surprises and toys not mentioned by him in his conversation with Santa CIau, bad made their appearance. "Whero did the' all come from ?" gasped Mrs. Brown in perplexity. "There must be some mistake." "Ko there ain't!" cried Bobby enthusiasti cally; "Santa Claus sent 'em." "But there isn't such a person, Bobby." "Yes there is. I saw him last night," said Bobby, trying a jack-kuife which had his name on a card attached to the handle. "There's good stuff in it," he added, sending a long shaving off from apiece of pine stick. "I told him where wo lived, an ho said he'd try to find us this year." "Who could it havo been !" murmured Mrs. Brown. "Santa Claus, of course," said Bobby, em phatically. "He's a jolly old man looks just like his picture, too." And Mr. Fernald, as he placed a diamo-d I ring on me linger ui jus gniuuuauuu:, thought of the bumble home his bounty had blest, and how much mere his gift was prized than the one which now sparkled on the hand of her who had never had a wish unsatisfied. "I. pays to be Santa Claus," he soliloquiz ed. "It pays in here," laying hi hand over the place where a worm heart throbbed be neath, "and I believe I'll make a general Santa Clau of myself next year, for the benefit of poor little children whom the usual Santa Claus fails to find."

A large gathering of bearers of heavy clad gentl'inen met to listen to Gee. Wm. T. Sherman. Geo. Hancock presided. The audience was one which was necessary to call to order. Gen. Sherman, in the course of his address upon the military necessities of the United States, said: "Whenever I approach any matter necessi tating labor and study, I shrink front feeling disposed to claim all the advantages of re tirement, and certainly that we may safely leave the future in the hands of the bright vouths we see growing up around us. Every age produces its own workers, and tlw experience of mankind b that the agents of former epochs are rarely adapted to modern uses. I am convinced fiv actual experience that habits are a more valuable quality than courage. Take hundreds of the bravest men, unaccustomed to the confusion of battle, and narch them up to a breast work, and they will break and drop to the cround s'VD.i- than would a hundred average men of tho 1 regular army tnat nave become accustomed to obey the "command of fall in, forward, and so forth. On this simple rule of habit rests the existence of the regular army to- uay in wis granu repuuuc ah panics agree it is becoming the settled policy of our government to maintain the smallest kind of a regular army, more as a school for instruction than for actual service This army in case of inva sion must be supplemented by militia, inas much as the militia is the physical force on which the chief magistrute of the nation must mainly depend for the execution of his high office. It therefore becomes our duty as soldiers and citizens to aid as far as we may, to mould that militia into a form in which it may be made valuable when called into active service. There has been a bill introduced in congress by Gen. II. Slocum, the passage of which would be a long ctride in the direction of the change The whole bill substantially repeals the old antiquated system of militia devised by our revolutionary fathers and substitute tho new one, far better adapted to our modern experience and while enrolling all men subject to mili tary duty it leaves tho great mass at home and delegates a small number to fulfill tho purposes of our constitution, to be prepared,, nrmed, equipped and accoutred, and proposes for this purpose the annual sum of iCO.000. Again, instead of TOO men for each member and delegate in congress, I could suggest a more convenient and better understood battallion of four companies of a maximum of 1,000 and minimum of SO men for each company. The total number of congres sional districts and territories is now about 320 men. This will give 1,320 companies to 100 regiments of 12 companies each, aggre gating a maximum of 1,320,000 and mini mum of Gfl.000, a force amply sufficient for the possibilities of the case. Tak ing this lesser number and assuming the cost of each milituman to $50 per annum, and that is a large assumption. I belicvo it will make an aggregate cost of $3,300,000. I would divide the sum equally between the United States in tho communities in which any company, battalion or regiment resides. Nearly all officers who compose this institu tion can recall our experience with new regiments as they came fo us raw and unpracticed, and how soon by association they become experienced soldiers Tho bill proposed will aid tho states to make a timiorm system tnrougnout tne United States. "I bclievc"said tho General, in conclus ion, "there is no more important subject to day before this institution than that of as sisting in perfecting the militia, and in bringing it into more cordial intercourse with tho regular army and the people of the United States."
