rsa.. Christmas with it's usual festivities, will soon be here and as it only comes 'once . year." we presume every arrange ment has been consumated for huge time generally.

Meanwhile, we would re- mind our readers that Mir, Cartwright is jus: in receipt of large and splendid as- sortment of toys, fresh candies, and in fact, everything usually found in first class confectionery Give him call and secure for the children their christmas presents.
 From the maneuvers ofa larger class, who have evinced an "eye to business in their "hankering' after eggs, evidently expect some little jollideation over the "Aowng bowl amid the family circle, and we would suggest, after becoming slightly inspired by the first effects, that relief may had by repairing to the Star Saloon, where the acquaintance of Tom and Jerry may be cultivated. Our friends who preside at the bar will take pleasure in arranging the preliminaries for the introduction, and dispense on all occasions the fine wines, liquors and cigars.

What hallowed associations in, the history of man are awakened by the thrilling name of Christmas. We all remember with what feelings of interest we looked forward to this annual holiday in our childhood; how many anxieties struggled for uttcrancc on the ap- proach of this memorable day; how sleep left our eyes as.we kept the vigils on the eve of Christmas; how our kind and affectionate mothers would hang up our stockings and await the coming and presents of old Santa Claus A thousand "reminiscences are re- vived at the approach of the birth day of our Saviour. We are carried back to scenes and incidents interwoyen into the very wool of our childhood's history; and although there may be some features of superstition mingled with the traditions of this holiday, still, we are in favor of preserving it as we received it, and would not have the hallowed associa- lions changed or modornized Let it forever remain the worlds jubilee day, particularly throughout the Christian world Let us pre- serve and commemorate,it as q day sacred to memory, hallowed by the glorious. associa- tions that it calls up; and, preserving let us transmit to those that are to come after us.

TFxAs ToNlc SYKUp--The people of the Mississippi Valley have long felt the necessity for, and want of, safe, certain and reliable remedy, as substitute for Quinine, Strychnine, and other poisonous Drugs, for the cure of Fever and Ague, or Chills and Fever. We claim, and the results will show, and bear ample testi- mony to every unprejudiced mind, that the Texas Tonic Syrup has supplied this want and accomplished this purpose. Its Tonic Alterative and Antiseptic qualities are such that none can possibly be disap- pointed in its effects Upon it's own mer- its, therefore, is it sustained. A single trial is all that is needed to stamp this remedy as the greatest specific of the age. MANSFIELD < HIaBEE, Sole Proprietors, Memphis, Tenn.

Is the President Becoming Lazy?

iftWe hear that President johnson
is becoming lazy as we'll as Disguised
The telegraph informs us that two
rbills-the Territorial Equal Suffrage
Bill and the bill repeating the am
-nesty and pardon authority given to
the President-have become laws by
his neglect to either veto orsign them
within ten days. Having osigned1 one
bill-thatg providing for a meeting of
Congress on the, 18th of March next
there were left but three bills In his
hands for which he woald have TO
write veto messages, within fifteen
days, This would give himrfved days
on each Veto777time enough to put to-
gether such a message as he usually
writes. Moreover, he need not have
done the work himself. Stanberry
could have written one veto, and Jer-
Try Black been persuaded to undertake
another, leaving. only one for Andy
Z himself to write out A little
energy could have accomplished
the thing, Seeing that the President
did not approve these two bills, and
does not approve the Colorado Bill
yet to be heard from, it is really
strange that he should allow them to
become laws by his default. 1t may
be, however, that he is putting forth
his whole strength in the preparation
of a veto of the Colorado Bill, and
keeping Stanberry busy helping him.
1T So we may expect a tremendously

dent procures the preparation of a
