CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION AT ARLINGTON
On Tuesday night there was very interesting
celebration at Columbia school, in Arlington
District, all the neighborhood, old and young,
being IN attendance. The school room was
handsomely decorated with wreaths and lights
and the female pupils were elegantly attred in
white, with sashes Of different colors. Two
large Christmas trees were set upon the plat
form, covered with the presents to be distrib-
uted. After prayer by student from the
Theological Seminary, the exercises were
opened by George K. Adams, esq, Chairman
of the District Board, in few highly appro-
pirate remarks. Various exercises in singing
and elocrtion followed, in which many of the
pupils acquitted themselves with great credit,
and Miss George MoSher Was crowned queen,
with very pretty ceremonial. n comic song
was sung by a gentleman Of the neighborhood,
who was disguised, and gave much entertain
ment 10 the audience, specul ation being rife as
to who he might be, aud at length, the Christ
mas gifts were handed out by Mr. Charles Cor
bett, assisted by two of the elder pupils, in a
style which caused much merriment. Many Of
the neighb ors had sent gifts for their children
and friends to be thus distributed, and cornu
copias of mixed candies were handed out freely
to all the pupils About half past nine, the
benedicton was pronounced by the Rev. Mr..
Foster, who, with his lady, the popular instruct
ress Of the school, had been complimented by
the pupils and their friends with several costly
aud elegant presents. At the close Of the ex-
ercises, the County Superintendent of Public
Schools, who was present by invitation, address
sed few words Of congratulation to the chill
dren and their parents, assuring the latter that

est in their school, they would be sure to have

Railroad Enterprise in Georgia.

A correspondent at st. Mary's, Georgia,
writes that railway company has lust
been organized there to build road from
st. Mary's westwardly about one hundred
miles TO point on the Savannah and Gulf
Railroad. Your former fellow-citizen, W.
g. McAdoo, has been elected President of
the company. By the very liberal charter,
the State is obligated TO endorse the com
pany's bonds 20 the amount of $4,000 per
mile. Large amounts of stock have been
taken, and the work will be commenced
this summer.
This railway will probably pass through
thefamed Okeefenokee Swamp, which con-
tains about half million acres of the
finest land in the world. a company has
recently been chartered TO drain this
swamp. A canal six miles long, through
the most favorable country, will empty its
waters into the st. Mary's rivers, liz feet
lower than the waters of the swamp. The
company gets the lands for draining them.
The surface of the swamp covers about
thirty square miles.

sheridan's Views on the European War.

Gen. Phil. Sheridan arrived in New
York, by steamer from Europe, on the 10th
inst. a New York Times reporter, who
interviewed him, says:
''It is not an easy thing to say who
fights best. They are all good soldiers.
But there is wonderful difference in their
respective peculiarities. The Germans
are tremendously stubborn and stand fire
like wall of stone. The French are more
full of DASH The campaigns there were
not comparable to those of our late war.
Their country is an old one. 1t has been
mapped out and surveyed, almost to the
foot, for warlike operations. 1t is all
known. The roads are older and better
than ours. The territory is more thickly
populated and the battle-fields in closer
contiguity. Their base of supplies and OBJ
jective points are of easier range. Besides,
they have made war a science for centu-
ries. Military schools abound. The SOL
diers are more absolutely subseryient than
ours. They have drilled reserves ready at
all times, even in peace. Our country is
immense with inferior and scattered roads
The territory is not well known
But, after all, there is no such material
as is found in the American armies.
They are composed of every national in
gredient, and have much eminent talent
from foreign schools. Won Moltke is q
man of tremendous inherent will, He
moves large bodies of men with rare sue
cess, and handles them splendidly. He
carries out his plans as a man recites some
thing thoroughly committed to memory.
The King, toe, has "a superb Judgment.
The beauty of the Prussian military mind
Is its great carefulness. IL is never hasty
nor ill-advised.
Place those armies here and they would
be nOnplussed at the typographical diff
culties we oyercame. There is nothing
like our army for our work. We have an
excellent system, but it needs changes
and can be vastly benefited by some of the
European example.
