HINTS. FOR THE HOLIDAY S.
Where TO Go and What to Buy.

Christmas is now only about week of,
and business is frightening Many of our
advertisers report their stores thronged
with customers already, and, what is bet
ter, those who examine their goods seem
disposed to spend money. So much for
judicious advertising. The people are get
ting more and more familiar with the names
Of our live business men, from seeing their
names in their fayorite newspaper. This
morning, in the performance of duty, we
lay before the public additional hints.
which will be found serviceable to those
who are in search of any kind Of articles
in demand during the holiday season:
The man who cannot find Christmas pre-
sent for his wife or daughter at such WE'LL
equipped dry goods store as that Of CARDozA, !,
FoURoUREAN & Co., might as we'll give it
up. lie don't know woman's taste. A
lace collar, lace handkerchief, a box of
hemstitched handkerchiefs, or box Of kid
gloves, will gladden. the heart of any lady,
and ensure the peace of the family for at
least month from Christmas day. Either
or all Of these articles, and many others,
may be obtained at CARDozA, FoURoUREAN
& Co.'s fashionable establishment, No. 1909
Main street, opposite the Post-Office.
A dollar shirt Is not the only thing suita-
bic for a Christmas present that may be OBJ
tanned from L. b. SPENCE & Son. You will
find there everything necessary for the out
fit Of gentleman Of fashion who desires to
attend a Christmas party or make, New
Years calls. a comfortable overcoat or a
neck-tie, a fine suit Of clothes or box of
4 <,$- bro nt~rh hN, ut
handkerchiefs; any of these are handy to
have in the house during the holiday sea-
son. and the man who happens not to have
all or any Of them will be bad off indeed.
The SpENCEs will give you as good q bargain
as you can get in The city. =" ~
Speaking of bargains reminds us of the old.
established book concern OF RANDOLPH q
ENGLISH, whose inducements to the buyers
of holiday goods are too numerous to find
space in this column. They have books
to use their own well-chosen language
suited to all capacities and pockets. The
catalogue embraces bibles, prayer-books,
hymn-books, standard works, ANIMALS,
albums, chromos, writing-desks, work
boxes, portfolios, pocket-books, gold pens,
and all other seasonable things of their line.
AS their rule of business requires every
thing to be sold Mt the lowest profitable
prices, the advantages they offer VIII be
perceived ut a glance.
s'Let us have peace" IS the most ,appro-
pirate thing q man can say, in view of the
advent of the holidays, and GEO. SCHGN.
the popular dealer in smokableS, holding
forth on the corner OF 11th and Main
streets, to-day offers to everybody the
.'calumet OF peace "a meerschaum pipe,
cigar-helder, g tobacco-pouch, box OF
cigars, OF "a bale Of smoking tobacco these
are some Of the things he sells, and either
of them would be glorious present from
one Young man to another, or from lady
to gentleman. Schnn shines for all, and
ladies as will as gentlemen will find him a
good man to deal with.
| Despite ourselves, the mind will revert to
egg-nog and apple toddy, in view of the
! good time coming. GEORGE /. HERRING &
Co. have old matted rye and Scotch whis-
key enough to supply every man, woman,
and child in Richmond with their tavorite
beverage. But their stock does not consist
ofliquors alone. Besides brandy, whiskey,
gin, and sherry, they offer large quantity
of raisins, and all kinds of groceries. 1t is
IA house that may be relied upon.
The ladies like to do business on Broad
street, and they are al well acquainted with
the attractions offered by HIRsH & GUGGEN.
! HE1MER, No. 621. The display of dress
goods here is particularly worthy of the at.
| tention Of the ladies. If your father or
your husband gives you a five, ten, OF
| twenty dollar greenback for Christmas
gift. you can surely lay it out to advantage
at HiRsH & GuaGENHEIMER's. Don't forget
the place, 627 Broad street. III t:r-~.
COLUMBUS, the confectioner, is the man
| who took the first premium for candies al
| the State Fair; hence the popularity OF
| CoLuMBUs's candies. But this is not the
| only reason. His prices are so low that
they attract universal attention. Just think
of seyenty-tiye different kinds''of French
candies selling at not more than sixty cents
pouud, and American confectionery at
twenty-five cents per pound. After this, il
is only necessary to say that COLUMBUS may
be found at Ola Broad street. .s#
NILSSON. the "singist," it is announced,
is coming TO Richmond, not to sing, but to
get one Of the Japanese switches, or lace
Collar, or a set of jewelry, to be presented
as a Christmas gift to the lady who first
showed her how to tune her voice. The
ladies of Richmond can find articles Of the
kind sought by Nilsson at w. 81. ADAMs's,
621 Broad street. $685."
Thinking of switches reminds us of
stitches, and then our thoughts naturally
revert to that real friend of woman, the
sewing machine, always welcome visitor
in the sitting-room OH Christmas morning.
Wheeler e Wilson'S is a machine that has
been tried, and can be recommended. G.
l.. RADwAY, 739 Main street, is the Rich
mond agent. a -, 1'@ - ...7.
We would not advise you to give your
sweetheart box of seidlitz powders, or a
dose of arsenic, during the festive season
.l,,N l,,f sri
cles for sale ut a first-ciass drug store, like
BopEKER & DADE's, which would be accept
able. These gentlemen have everything in
their line, and are most agreeable to deal
with. Perfumes and sweet-scented soaps
would not be out Of place.
j. BLAIR, S25 Broad street, offers articles
Of the same kind as the gentlemen just no.

Of the city. He offers the finest perfumes
and large stock of fancy goods OF varieties.
