The point is—where to get 'em To relieve and enlighten a distraught public are these announcen euift: T. R. J. Awes ft So**, as the readers of the GATK know, in their (iaenew rooms on Main between 3d end 4th, keep one of the best and largest ateeks of Jewelry and Musical instruments ia the West. Very attractive tboee rooase are. The large front phow wiedbwe attract inevitably, every that is ont wilt Holiday iLtent in its sciatilletiona. (To talh aboat an eye as being out, may sot be a happy wavtaf patting the caee, bot we are persistent in oar par pose not to retract the phrase*) The first thing to attract attention ia thoee show windows, (and there'* a stock of them inside—we meaa (he pictures) istbe display of Prang's American Chromos. "The Dem ocracy of Art" Prang felicitously calls hi' cheap reproduction in color and expression,of the great paintings- That's inventive genius well and practically applied. There n-.ay be "ao royal road to Geometry," but here is a cheap way to Esdketics: BieratadtVYo Semites'—original cost $8,000— reproduced in colors and a complete copy of the original for five dollere. Mind, we don't say that Ayrea have that identical Cbromo—we are only illaetratiac the theme, oiks don't discriminate sufficiently hptweeo generalities, aad pesticelariliea. We say, for iastaace, in a general 'way, that if Master Bright Eyes could whisper to Santa Clans just what he wants, we warrant that it weald be something that Widtersham DeJaplaia have- There upon BngM Kyee concludes thet W. k D. have, every conceivable "and inconceivable toy, and he makes rside on the eetabliah meat of those gentlemen for china aad candy toys—whereas, he ought to go to Obertops' for these. Bright Kyes, yon are absurdly il logical. Bat the grown-ups haven't any ad vantage over yon in that particular. All this while we have been standing in front oi Ayres' windows looking at the Chromos. Let's quit geaeralitis and go in.They have all of Praug's Chromos, and very beauties many of them are. Pretentious walk may well be adorned with them. The moral character of a fam ily is improved by pictures. Even those re splendent impossibilities in the way of strik ing colors, the "Pride of the .Village)" the Belle," Lenore," and the like ereatnres of fancy,!set in broken looking-glaaa frames, that ogle in unehaaging aad imposeible fas cination, from the walls of bed-chambers in country Louses, are reflected in some half oonscioas expression of Mademoiselle betew stairs. good pietttres than bad—ao let us vote Prang a life membership into the ncreaeingiy large society of Feb lie Benefac tors—and Ayrea* have, his pietures. They have, too, a very large stock of jewelry, clocks and watchee, silver plate aad plated ware, of elegant design and beautiful in manufacture. Spectacles and eye glasses ol all kinds—ao immense stock. Toilet boxre An infinite (metaphorically speaking) variely of delicate uotions, in gold, silver, and orna rnsntal goods. They have the very best Pianos, and a large assortment of musical instruments of all kinds. Whatever to be found in a first-class jewelry and music store that Ayres' have. Their house is one of the biggest in the West, and they are constantly increasing its extent and its attractions. For another and entirely different department of Roods for the Holidays wa go from here to WLBTKKSH-VM & PSI-APLAIH'S, On Main street, between Sixth and Seventh. Mr. Wtckersham, from the proprietorship of the Pennsylvania Foundry, which he butlt in lBAl and managed until 1864, when he bought tbe present establishment—and Mr. Delaplain—a k®g time Hawkeye—a Hawk eye for twenty-nine years—an ex-news paper man—he, from one of the proprietors ol tbe GATK CITT, came in I860 into this part nerahip with Mr. Wickersbam aad both com ing now to offer the Keokuk pablic, and tbe public who come to this market, the beet and biggest stock ever offered by the hoese over which they preside. Mr. Wickersham being a floral man—with a veritable love for flow ers, and ,Mr. Delaplain being, as we know, a generally tasty man they have made their house mighty pretty to look iato for thess Christmas and New Year's times. Keep a watcn on our advertising columns and you will always know what they have got to sell. By that means you'.will know their speciality now is WilTow goods. So after looking about you, and noticing the hanging baskets trimmed and hung with beaatifu!

The attendance and interest of these meeting* are not on the de crease, but rather on the increase. New f' are to be seen there every day. The rer s and prsvers are characterized by an ee ness and spirituality that is indicati o of a Christian zeal that is according to knowledge May the interest continue to increase until the meeting becomes an acknowledged power for Rood in our city. THAT COHCKKT.—No similar entertainment ever given in our city, was a more complete success than the Sunday School Concert in the First Presbyterian Church, last Thurs day evening. Hunt the town or the State over and yon will not find children who can sing more sweetly, or apeak more correctly thaathey connected frith this Snnday School. The exercises were varied and unusually in teresting, consisting of readings, declama tions, recitations, dialogs ea and songs, and soma of these produced deep emotions in the audience. Nothing could be more beeutifu1 and appropriate for such an occasion than a piece bv 11. Scott Howell, Superintendent of the School, entitled the "King's Supper." The choir of the Cbareh snag two pieces of music, one entitled "The Sacred Stream, aad tbe otLer that latest and most beautiful of Phillip Phillips' production, called "Con gregational Singing a Dream" and the man nerin which each was sung would have dons credit to the most distinguished choirs of the land. As wss promised in one announce ment of this Concert all were pleased, inter ested and benefited, and we have just one word to the Superintendent, and that is, when be gets up another as good as that, that he hold it in a larger house, for that Church is too small, hs it was last night, to accommodate the audience who would like to attend.
