houses with evergreens is derived from
ancient Druid practices. In the churches,
even now the holly, ivy, rosemary, bay,
laurel, and mistletoe furnish the fayorite

Candlemas. The decorations in our churches
this year are specially attractive.

This venerable church fully sustains its
reputation OF former years for beautiful and
artistic decorations at the two grand festi-
walls OF the church, Easter and Christmas.
AS for several years past, the chancel only
is decorated, and the beautiful combination
of white and green which composes the
dressing produces most pleasing and ap-
propriate effect. The arch within the chan
eel, together with the large pillows upon
which it rests, is handsomely draped with
white cloth edged with wreatbs Of ever
green, and so artistically arranged that
it looks as if carved of beautiful marble.
A Gothic arch surmounted by cross stands
in the back of the chancel; and pulpit, and
lectern, and chancel-rail are all tasteiully
draped and wreathed. The most imposing
and pleasing feature of the decorations is a
large and very handsome white cross stand
ing Just within the chancel-rail and opposite
the main aisle, gracefully festooned with
hanging moss, intermingled with ferns and
autumn leaves. The font is wreathed with
eyergreens and filed with white lilies.
ST. JAMES (EPIscoPAL).
The pulpit, the cbancei-railing, the desks,
and the font, are all covered with wreaths
OF evergreen. In rear Of the pulpit Is a
background Of crimson cloth, upon which
there is monogramme cross, 81. Fl. S."
This is surrounded by an evergreen frame
made OF magnolia leaves. Above the pulpit
Is a large green cross. These decorations
are very beautiful and cheerful.

OF facts simply, such as | have seen them.
such as | have understood them. Frank
ness is here more necessary than anything
else, for it is not by palliauing the baC
sides of IA difficult situation that we cal
succeed in improving it.
For long time we have heard here o
an American competition, without be
lieying it. The skeptics-and there wer'
many of them-denied the possibility of
ompetition al once SO rapid and SO i'm
portant. To day we are forced to be

the existence ola formidable manufacture
I'VE have heard the proofs of it unde
our own eyes; we have seen the America
factories, and we have been able to satisi
ourselves exactly as to their power. w
have treated the American manufactur
as we have treated the neighboring man
