In one of the most brilliant thorougfares in
large city, the stores were illuminated gor-
geously, for it was the evening preceding a
holiday. The windows of one establishment
fairly blazed with light; jewels flashed and
golden ware glttered minute statuary in
beautiful groups stood here and there-dia-
mond necklaces laid in their repositories of
satins and velvets, magnificent watches lined
the entire sides brooches of ruby and ame-
thyst and all precious stones and pearls, brace
lets fit to adorn the snowy wrists of peri,
sparkled on their terraces of rosewood tiaras
dazzled with the splendor that radiated from
millions of crystal points; rare cases, inlad
with pearl and adorned with elaborate and ex-
quisite paintings, regaled the sight, while the
blaze of a massive chandelier drew thousand
beautiful colors on the productions Of genius and
the works of beauty that were ranged on every
hand.
Before this prince of jewelers. stately

descended; one tall and regal in her carriage,
the other of more fairy-like proportions and at

SUNDAY WORK.

It's well enough to let people know more
explicitly the extent OF that service which
has occasioned the grand demonstration Of the
printers in this city. According to the orisi'
nal rules Of the Dispatch, the compositors had
their full restof tsoeatyJour hours, on Sunday
They had full aud free opportunity to worship
with others, when aud where they pleased, OF
not worship Of all, as they chose; but there
was no interruption. whatever, to their tee"ty-
four hours of rest-indeed, that period was
often extended to longer time. Al the end
OF that period, the compositors came to the
Office. and in an hour and half or two hours,
put in type the condensed postscript of intelli-
gence brought by the latest mails. This was
and will be- the regulation in this office-and
this is the matter about which all this fuss is
made!

u burihen upon the printer. We appreciate
the objects and institution Of Sunday, as day
of rest, as much as any one; but we acknowl-
edge the necessity of work on that day, in
some cases. We stated these yesterday. OF all
these cases the psblic necessity in the case of
the daily press occasions the least amount of
labor. The naiis-the post-ofice-the bake

We repeat, we appreciate as well as any man
the objects of the institution of one day of
rest in seven, and have no fancy for occupa-
ton on that day; but we shall, under the pro-
vision which gives practically an entire day TO
rest and devotion, comply with that public
necessity which we deem imperative upon the
