All the industry of the city, at this

duction of beautiful or useful articles for
Christmas Presents. Though not among
the Oldest inhabitants, we observe year
by year great change III the etiquette
OF holiday presents. When We wore
plnalorcs it was not admissible to give
presents Of wearing apparel, except
indeed such external things as Shawl
or set of Furs. Personal presents were
for the most part deicately confined to
ornaments, as Brooches, Rings, Seals,
Chains, etc, etc; and the rule was
observed as vigorously by lovers and
"in'endcds' as by less favored mortals.
Now, however, the fashion has changed,

The Parsguaysn war still "drsgs its slow
s4ength along" Since the battle Of Villeta
the allies have been busy in endeavoring to
heal the wounds in their own organization,
produce q concert of action, and prepare
for, an advance. In. order to accomplish
this, commanders have been changed all
round; Gsxiss has been recalled to Brazil,
and the son. in.law Of Don Pedro II, Comte
d'Eu, charged with the supreme command.
Subordiustes have also been shifted from
one position I'd, another, and ip this man
ner a new face put upon military affairs at
Asuncion and in that vicinity. The mean
ing of ell this is final attack upon. Lopez,
which, It is expected, will take place within
the next ten days, if fresh desertions and
other causes do not delay the allied column,
This time the march will be into the in E.
rior, and without. the support Of gunboats.
This will make the contest more equal, al
though the forces of the allies will far out
number those Of Lopez. After the de-
feat Of the Psraguaysu army at Vii
leta, Lopez moxed inland, and is now forti
fed at . strong point upon the railroad from
Asuncion to Villa Rioa, not far from Asun-
cion-so near, indeed, that his raiding
parties are sweeping off men, cattle and
supplies from within the allied picket line
Tue force which Lopez has gathered from the
remnants of his army and recruits amount
to about FIVE thousand men, with from six
teen to twenty pieces Of cannon. The allied
force is twenty-six thousand. Dsducing
from these the one. third which never can
be found in an attack, we shall find that the
remainder is scarcely sufficient ioroe to
promise speedy termination of the war in
favor Of the allies, unless they are 80 fortu-
nate as to punish Lopez severely in the first
encounter. If he can check the advance,
fall back a4d check them again, while at
the same. time harrassing them by raids,
forays and flank attacks, the contest may
be protraoted until the allies will be obliged
to retrace their steps and be content to
hold that portion of Paraguay Immediately
bordering on tho river. While this is the
present condition of affairs in Paraguay, two
commissioners from Lopez have arrived
in this country. The precise object OF
their mission has not been made public.
