HOLIDAYS.
With that good taste and thorough knowledge
CT the wants of tho community which have
marked the business career Of Bonghman
Thomas 4 Co. they have made their preparations
for the demand of the present holiday season.
They are comprised within that class of bust
ness men who have enlarged their stock from
last season; but the increase is not made in com,
mon and Indifferent goods. For several years
past they have been striving to build up trade
in fine goods, and with the success which has
heretofore attended their efforts they could not
afford now to depart from their established Gus
tom. Hence the stock which they have laid in
- not only abundant, but it is rich, the articles
have an intrinsic value, and there is such variety
il Them that selection cannot fall. Their
prices are also surprisingly moderate. 80 much
Within reason that their goods are not beyond
tue reach OF all classes OF buyers. Their cullec-
tion OF books is the best offered in Whining
ton, aud they sell at the same rates as New York
and Philadelphia houses. In leather goods they
have an immense stock embracing all kinds of
articles, aid in psper niache goods their line is
full and complete. Besides these they have
bronzes, work baskets, carved goods, and va
riety which we cannot stop to enumerate. The
most popular groups OF Rogers statuary are also
to be found. Inspection is solicited, whether
purchases are made or not.
c. +. RuDoLPR's STOCK OF JEwELuY.
Among the many preparations for the holi-
days, O. F Rudolph, at 23l Market street. ranks
amongst the foremost. The stock OF silver
ware, watches. chains, rings. .medsions. charms,
and bronze statuary and oil paintings have cen
selected with very great care and are unrivsled.
His effort to please the public is appreciated by
crowds OF customers, who find here Just what
they want for Christmas presents. fine solid
silver tea sot OF five pieces, worth $500, is
beautiful beyond description, and attracts gem
eral attention. We bespesk for Nj. Rudolph a

Col. Richard Thomas, of st. Mary's coun.
ty, died last week. He was conspicuous in
the early part of the late civil war by the
capture of the steamer st. Nicholas. Hetook
passage in the steamer at Baltimore, DISCUS.
ted as "French lady," and at night, assist.
ed by few of his men on board, he arrested
the captain and officers of the steamer and
run her to Fredericksburg, Va.
Judge Emmons, of the Uuited States dis
trict court at Memphis, Tenn, q few days
ago charged the grand jury not TO find in
dictments against parties who had violated
the Civil Rights bill, for the reason that
congress has no power to prescribe penal
ties for such offences. IIe advised any one
who had a grievance of this kind to bring a
civil suit and take an appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States if the rulings of
the Court below are adverse to his claims.
Before Congress adjourned it passed re-
solution authorizing Engineer Thomas w.
Fitch to receive the diamonds presented 10
his wife, General Shcrman's daughter, by the
Khedive of Egypt. The words free of duty
were omitted in the resolution, and conse-
quently the lady is rs far from getting her
diamonds as ever. Her husband can not af-
ford to pay the duty and the costly jewels must
rest in the New York Custom House until
the next Congress meets and passes law by
which she can get them free.
Armed Mexican bandits have invaded
Texas, robbed houses, stores, &C., and taken
large number of Americans prisoners. 1t
Is estimated that there are at least three hun
dred now on Texas soil, and that several
Americans have been murdered by them
Our government has made several COM
plants to the Mexican government, which
is powerless TO hold the robbers in check
Instructions will Immediately be issued from
the War Department at Washington to the
general commanding to strike the raiders
with heavy blows. A general border war and
an invasion of Mexico by armed citizens are
among the probabilities.
