Christmas morning was full of little
mishaps, caused no doubt by the
lordly animal of creation having
imbibed too freely. A man riding
horseback up Main street, ran the
horse against post near the lie
Grande hotel, with such force that he
was thrown to the ground, while the
horse, which was badly wounded, ran
of up the street. The Jealous devotee
of the wine god escaped unhurt, but
got well hesmeared with mud for his
extraordinary horsemanship.

Uhria,mas IN Dallas,

Tuesday was one that will long be
remembered IN Dallas, The day dawn
cd clear and old sol threw his golden
beams athwart the land, seeming ~
though he too would add 10 the festivi-
ties OF the day, The city was aroused
from It's slumbers by the rafting report
OF fire crackers, accompanied by the
shouts of numerous young America,
who doubtless thought that the success
Of tho day depended upon the quantity
OF powder they burned, and the noise
they made. The older citizens caught
the enthusiasm Of the boys, and soon
the principal corners on Main street
were filled with men and boys, firing
crackers and torpedoes, while they ex'
pressed their up proval OF matters
by yelling NJ each explosion of the
fireworks. Later In the day the toll
ing OF the church bells called many TO
the houses Of worship.
The principal feature OF the
morning, however, was the re-
union OF General Gano's brigade,
which occurred ut the courthouse, at
ten o'clock. The Lamar Rifles met at
their armory and marched down the
city TO the courthouse TO receive the
old war members of this gallant bril-
gade. The courtroom was packed by
dense crowd, eager to see the old
warriors and to hear the speeches In"
cident to the occasion. General Gano
made u stirring speech, after which
General Simon Bolivar Buckner, ia
nous as one of the leading confederate
generals during the war, spoke. He
was followed by others, who also had
taken an active part In the "lost
cause.n The meeting was success,
after which the old brigade repaired to
the LeGrand hotel, where most
sumptuous repart was served, spiced
with the chit chat of old war times
and camp life.
The hotels set splendid tables which
were discussed in manner by the diff
ferent guests, that showed unmlstak-
ably their hearty approval of such pro-
ceedings.
Everythsng was gayety and the
street scenes of the morning were re-
peated DER until the cup Of happiness
seemed trimming over with joy. Old
men were boys again, the cares of life
were thrown to the wind, and joy and
mlrth ruled the hour supreme. AT
night there were throughout the city
parties, Christmas trees and other en-
tertainments which lent joy to the
day.
AT twelve o'clock, midnight, high
mass was held at the Catholic church.
which was the beginning of the foul
masses, the last OF which ended al
half.past ten o'clock that day. The
altar was beautiful, being tastefully
decorated with natural flowers. An
immense throng crowded the church
to witness the ceremonies, which were
truly impressive. Tuesday was day
OF feasting and joy in the history o
Dallas.

an impression prevails that the late
fire at the Milburn wagon works in

was destroyed but paint shop con

loss was comparatively insignificant

We will not withdraw our affidavit that
the following from the New York World
is a libel upon fair femininity:
Her moments Of supreme happiness
were those when she was most becom.
ingly dressed and was looking her best.
Her moments of supreme misery have
been those when she felt like a dowdy
and knew she looked like one. So strong
is this feminine instinct for adornment
and the enjoyment Of clothes, that in all
probability a widsw at her husbands
funeral, conscious that mourning be-
comes her, is happier than e pretty girl
