appear al the Theatre during three nights
and matinee OF next week, beginning with
THURSDAY the 10th. The great reputation
which MIR. Keene seems to have acquired as
a tragedian OF the first rank since he visited
Richmond only two years ago must have re-
suited from an outburst Of genius which,
from some cause. had been latent up to that
time. The almost universal and very pro-
nounced encomiums which have been ac-
corded him by the press speak most potently
IN his behalf, and we will welcome bim with
pleasure as great actor. The following

CHRISTMAS COMES But ONCE A YEAR

The brightest and most joyous season Of
the year approaches. That festival upon
which all Christian nations and peoples
commemorate the birth OF the Saviour
Is soon to gladden. the hearts OF the dear
little ones. Tna, bright Christmas star, the
coming OF which they have so Ionged for
during the past weary year, now shines
with q brilliancy that is near at hand, and
will soon shed its rays OF Joy aud gladness
TO each little heart. Every nation has its
popular traditions concerning this ball
bowed Decentralization which have been
handed down from generation to genera
fion in the form OF nursery-rhymes and Oft
repeated stories that awaken IN the hearts
OF the listeners feelings Of mingled plea
sure and fear. But while treating each
year the subject Of this joyous time, both
generally and specifically, it is never-faii-
ing custom with us to paint as best we may
the time of celebrating so great an auniver-
sary in the most bright and pleasing colors.
OF you who have long since tired OF our
yearly discourses on this subject, we ask
your generous indulgence while we speak
to those 10 whom il is an affair OF great mo-
ment; for, except IN religious sense, the
youthful joys OF these times have only re-
hected pleasure for maturer years. Ills
our duty never to grow old; and the infant
whose only demonstration, amid the gene
raj festivities OF one year ago, was an un-
systematic chewing aHd occasional jingle OF
rubber rattle. has now learned to lisp out
"Merry Chismus," and hourly claims more
and more our consideration.
Come, then, young folks, and yo1 old
young folks who must have hand IN
Christmas merry-makiDg, follow us in oul
rounds through the beautiful stores which
are now teemipg with everything suitable
for the festive season, aud We will give yOr
many wrinkle about what we have seen a
the fountains OF fashion, IN the realms o.
sweetness, the avenues OF art, the temple:
OF fancy, and departments of comfort.

From Hannah.

Editor Register: The Democrats in
this District are hard at work for the
whole ticket, notwithstanding the
reports that have been circulated in
some localities that we are divided
and dissatisfied. There is perfect
harmony in our ranks, and old Han.
nan will send to her friends above
Kanawha, such a majority for the
entire Democratic ticket, that will
justly entitlc her to the laurels u
being called the "banner township
G. P. Simpson has been among us
for the past week, and his efforts in
behalf of Democracy, will not go un.
rewarded.
Large and enthusiastic meetings
have been held throughout the Dis.
trict, but the best of all was at Haw-
ley's School House, where Simpson
and Menager had what they called a
ajoint discussion" but we think it
was not, and would call il acne. sided
affair. Democrats and Republicans
alike acknowledged that Menager was
completely skinned" Credit Mobil-
Ter, Pacific Railroad, DeGolyer Pave
ment, Salary Grabbing. Garfield was
too much for Jimmy" and even the
Republicans present were sorry, in
deed, that Mr.. Menager had sucha sub
jectas Garfield and his record, to de-
fend. Menager's speech was COM
plete failureon his part, which will go
far to injurethe Republican ticket in
this District, while that of Simpsons
was a brilliant victory, and will
make votes for our ticket, and was u
speech calculated to inspire all low
ers of honest government.
Tell your readers that Hannah
will give you and your ticket 200 ma.
jority in October next, and try and
increase it for Hancock in Novem-
Der, and that if they will work for
the ticket as we do here, we will
have an easy victory in October
Democrats, cheer up, and go to work.
