CHRISTMAS FIxINs. - Concerning how
long Christmas greens should be allowed
to remain up, we quote the following from
among lot of ancient superstitions: at
every remnant of Christmas decoration is
not cleared outef church before Candlemas
day, (the publication, February 3D. there
will be death that year in the family occu-
pying the pew where leaf or berry is left.''
The above, we believe, applies also to pri-
vate houses.

NIGHr.-Notwithstan the rain of all

walking last night, the Opera House was
full to witness the beautiful tableaux pre-
pared by ladies and gentlemen of this city,
under the direction of Mr.. Bartlett,
lof Louisville. We can hardly de-
termine which, among SO many beau
tifuf pictures, most deserves commendation
but our taste leads us to make particular
mention OF Zenobia, most beautiful rep

Shrine of st. Agnes; Striving for the I'm
attainable and the Farmers Kitchen.-
These were truly artistic and lovely.
Mrs.. Ames read Barbara Fritchie and,
on an encore, The One-Horse Shay.
We must pay her the compliment of
being one of the most accomplished lady
readers it has ever been our good fortune
to listen to. Her enunciation is clear and
precise, and her voice pleasing and of good
compass. She possesses all the qualifica-
tions of successful reader. Tonight,
among i, other. attractions, will be
presented the esv Voyage OF Life,
in tour tableaux. We can recommend this
performance to our readers as being most
agreeable one, besides promoting a great
enterprise, and aiding the ladies of our
city in alleviating much suffering and doing
great good. -. ...,-,5-.'-

A GLORIOUS Record
The history of the Republican par
ty is indeed a proud record. Inherit
ing bankrupt treasury, a dishonored
credit, and a gigantic rebellion, from
the traitorOus Administration which
preceded their advent to power in
1861, the Republicans herOicalIy and
successfully grappled with and con-
quered all these obstacles to the life
and progress of the nation. They
replenished the treasury; they redeem
ed our credit; they subdued the might
lest rebellion that ever confronted
civil power since governments were
instituted among men; they struck the
shackles from four millions of human
beings, and gave them every civil
right under the Constitution and the
laws. And while accomplishing
these hercUlean tasks, the Republican
party administered the Government so
wisely that prosperity has been all the
time abroad in the land; great busi-
ness enterprises have been undertake
en- and successfully prosecuted; facto-
ries have been built; fOrests subdued;
farms brought under cultivation; navi-
gable rivers improved; thousands of
miles of railroad constructed; the con-
tinent spanned by telegraph wires;
the two oceans well nigh connected
by a road Of iron; the emigrant pro-
tected on the remotest frontier; Terri
tories carved out of the wilderness
domain; and new States of promise
and power added to the National
Union.
What other party in the history of
this country ever confronted such
difficulties? What other party ever
gained such victories?
