CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
TIE s0UL-ABsoRBING TOPIC.
WHO WE VISITED AND WHAT WE SAW ON
OUR TuUR OF INsP ECTIoN-A FESTIVE
!. AND BUSY TIME.

We continue our descriptive sketch OF the
fine goods and good things suitable to the
season. We cannot too urgently press upon
public attention the value OF observing the
great hoiidar-its moral and social good ei-
iects, its adding fervor to the gentle I'M
pulses of piety, its Frightening the chains
that bind kin and friends together, and its
diffusiug spirit Of contentment and peace
throughout society. What cause could in
tervene to Justify suspension Of the observ-
ance of one single Christmas? None on earth.
1t should never give way to anything. 1t
NAV be celebrated with more or less eX-
penditure OF money, according to circum-
stances, but never omitted. Ii there be
people who can't improve their larder a
little on that day, and who cannot go to
church for want OF a dress to wear, ho! all
We people, send food and raiment to such,
and let it not be said that anybody, for the
want OF either, could not indulge single
aspiration inspired by the day.
But this chronicler has no business with
sermonizing. His department is the gay
and festive one, with here and there little
pety and benevolence peering out like
yiolets and budding roses from bouquet.
Follow him in his continued Journey
through the streets, which are growing
gayer and more lively each day. and into
the stores thronsed with busy purchasers.
Our Injunction to seize the favorable oppor-
tunity and make selections from unbroken
stocks was not UNDECIDED, and we notice
that the readers OF the Dispatch are profit
ing by the advice.

as carrying only the weight OF rlvai III
business, leaving discriminating pubic 10
Judge, and demanding adequate reparatioh

at the hands OF proper tribunal.
In order. however, to show exactly what
kind OF goods we do put upon the Market

FIRES YEsTERDAY.--An accidental fire oc-
CURED yesterday morning between Sand 8
O'Clock ut theresidence OF Rev. r. n. Sledd,
d. D., No. west Grace street, in one OF the
+sleepins-rooms, caused, it is supposed, by
a spark falling into box of kindling-wood.
Damage about $50. Al alarm turned in at
Fire Station 4, Third Police District head
quarters, brought out the up town appa-
ratus.
Yesterday at 500 P. NJ. sparks from the
stove-pipe set fire to the roof OF the old
MARSHALL Ward Clubhouse, corner Twen-
ty-seyenth and Marshall streets, now owned
by DR.. Crump. An alarm was turned in at
Station 46, Engine-House No. l., on Twen-
ty-ffth street near Broad. Damage trifing.
The managers Of the Halcyon Club were
preparing for their annual masquerade bail
at the time OF the fire, but their arrange
ments were not materially retarded.
While noticing these fires it may not be
amiss to say that in our account OF the re-
cent fire at Messrs. T. C. Williams & Co.'s
factory, by slip of the pen, Steamer No.
was omitted in referring to the work OF
the department and another No. substi-
tuted. From the concluding portion of the
account it was no doubt apparent that the
mistake was probably a typographical error
made in the hurry of setting up the matter
ut O'Clock in the morning.
