Almost q Catastrophe.

A man YVES walking Oh one Of the
back streets last night in a deer
study. His mind was so pre-
occupied, in fact, that be would
hardly have noticed an obstruction
if one had been placed directly under
his nose. There happened to be .
pile Of stone right before him, and
as the moon had not yet risen, the
darkness and his cogitations pre-.
vented him from seeing them.
On he we in blissful ignorance Of
the prospect Of broken shins or a
cracked head, when suddenly he con-
cluded to smoke. He lit a match, and
placing a Full Moon" Cigar between
his teeth, proceeded to lighfit, when
the light showed him the pile Of stone,
and he has since doubled his con-
sumption Of the celebrated Full Moon
Cigars, being satisfied they saved him
from a" catastrophe. He says they
cost only &c apiece, and the only place
to get them is at L. Samelson 4 Co..
opposite Peabody Hotel.

Christmas Eve lunch.

A grand Christmas Eve lunch is to
be served at the well known Oyster
and Parlor Restaurant Of j. D. II.
Meyer, at No. 30, Monroe street.
It will be open to the
public from 10 pm. until two o'clock
in the morning. This spread will
embrace all the d~elicacies Of the
season, as we'll as the substantials Of
life. There will DO plenty of rabbits
stuffed with oysters, turkey likewise
dressed, and other game will also be
served in the most tasty style. Polite
and attentive walters are there,
and nothing will be left undone to
please and extend Christmas cheer to
all visitors. Mr.. Meyer feels in a
generous mood toward the public for
the liberal patronage extended him,
giving him reason to be thankful,
hence he expects to exert himself in
his efforts to set out an inviting and a
palatablo Christmas Eve lunch. And
Mr.. Meyer does not intend to let any
other house surpass the one he is
preparing.

The wholesale and retail cigar store
Of l. Samelson & Co., 80 Main street,
is Hourishing like a green. bay tree.

but little more than FIVE months, yet
the large u of custom now enjoyed,
causes them to feel greatly encouraged
and to realize that the Christmas
season is one Of promise for them.
They continue to keep a choice assort-
ment of tobacco, cigars and smoking
material generally, and their Full
Moon brand Of dve-cent cigars is
growing more and more popular every
day.

The Hon. Charles B. Simonton,

morning, on his way to spend the hol-
iday season at his home in Covington.

joy Christmas cheer, and as usual the

Captain Paul Boyton, the noted
traveller and most renowned swimmer
in the world, is now on a visit to our
city. Having a vivid and pleasant re-
~membrance Of the c~ourtesies extended
to him when here several years ago,
the Captain will tomorrow give a
free exhibition in the river in front
Of the city. They will consist of blow
ing up a miniature brig, which
he will blow into smithereens
by one Of his recently invented tor
pedoes, which he claims is to be the
method Of warfare between future
b~elligerents. A yawl boat twenty feet
long has been rugged as a brig. The
vessel is to be sent adriit, and Captain
BOyton will attack it in his rubber
floating dress. 1t will be a picture Of
the kind Of warfare Captain Boyton
participated in a year ago, when he
served Peru in its contest with Chill.
