XMAS AT SAYRE-The Christmas celebra-
ton of the Episcopal Sunday School at Say~e
took place Monday afternoon. 1t was quite Il
novelty in its way and even more successful
than the entertainments of former years.
The upper end of the Chapel was magical
ly trans formed into large old fashioned fire
place. in which stood an old time crane and
pair of androns. well blackened by use or
art. On the mantle piece above licked an
ancient clock, guarded on both sides bv brass
candleSticks, and some myste rOuS stockings
dapged from the corners. Against the brick
work. which reached to he ceiling, hung a
gas star. surrounded by Il wreath of ever
green. The whole formed a most c harmng
picture to those who entered the Church.
The exercises were opened bV the Rector
Rev. Mr.. ROSENMULLER. After the singing
of Carols in a remarkably hearty way. and
the chanting of the Lords Prayer. the Yer
SiC!eS. etc. the school responded to some
general catechsing. The little girls of Mrs.
THOMAS class then reCted Scripture texts
and repeated II Christmas hymn in concert =
The Infant Class, taught by Mrs ROSENMUL-
LER. and which must number nearly thirty
children, of every condition. and ranging in
age from three to eight, was then questioned.
1t was most delightful to hear each little
mite stand up and repeat with more or less
confidence his or her small verse. After the
recitation of one hymn, and the singing of
another, Mr.. ROSENMULLER announced that
Mr. r. A. PACKER would now read aloud Il

dience listened to the we'll known lines.

AS the reader proceeded the lights gradually
grew DINNER aud the suspense greater, until
finally, as he described how st. Nick came
down with bound,.' there was Il jingle of
sleigh bells, u dash down the chimney, and
there stood Santa Claus in person. He was
all dressed in furs and carried generous bags
from which he filled the stockings, and max
ing frequent trips up the chimney to his
sleigh, brought wonderful things for each
child-hOoks for the older ones, tool chests
aud magic lanterns for the little boys, kitch-
ems and stoves and blocks for the little girls.
lovely boxes of candy for every one, and fam
cv bo0bonnieres for the teachers. Mr.. and
Mrs. PACKER, who were strongly sus-
pected of having been in league with the old
gentleman, must have fell repaid for their
efforts by the happy faces and unfegned de-
light of the children, who, after final carol
had been sung. were bundled up and carried
off by their elders

The lnternationa al Courts Of
Egypt.

These tribunals nave lately attracted
a great deal of attention, and we,
therefore, copy the following compli-
mentary notice of them from the bar OF
the oldest known civilization. We
learn from a gentleman somewhat
familiar with Egyptian affairs that the
opening there for the legal profession
is q good one; and that it is attracting
"Lim5s' from all parts of the world,
and especially from the United States.
The International tribunals are scat
tered all over Egypt, and are being
crowded with cases, while the whole
bar does not exceed one hundred
members. Could not Raleigh or North
Carolina send a ''sprig" to the day
dawn of civilization
The following letter has been ad-
dressed to the Eice-Presid mt of the
Court of Appeal by the Batonnier of
the Bar of Egypt:
Slr:-Tbe Council of Advocates pre-
sents to you and the Judges whom you
represent, the good wishes of the New
Year. Our coed wishes have on this
occasion a special force and value.
The Foreign Powers are celebrating
on the future of the Judicial Institu-
ton and we remark with surprise the
undeserved charges made against it.
We who have seen in detail the work
ing Of the Judicial Body, and have
discussed before them the gravest in.
terests of the European Colony, are
able to testify to their inpartiality,
their firmness, their prudence, their
scrupulous paiastaking, and their re-
spect for every right. We are only the
echo of Public Opinion in declaring
that the independence of this institu-i
ton is the main guarantee of the rights
Of the pr 6lic in Egypt. We hope the
wisdom of the powers will reject every
proposal tending to weaken it, and
it will be continued with all its
strength and powers, so that
It may carry on its salutary action
without diminution.

OLD WORLD SCENES. Our readers
are indebted to a gifted young lady n,
Salisbury for a vivid view of Euronean
Courts; scenes which by contrast with
our Republican, Practical, Hard Fact
World, seem as a sudden glimpse Of
Fairyland amid the rough surroundings
OF a backwoods ''clearin'. 1t is. in.
deed, difficult to realize that such paee
ants and splendor yet prevail in this
work-a-day age, but before we sheer at
the Dresden Courtiers let us recall the
long lines OF Americans who swell with
pride at the recollection of once HAVING

Jim Garfield. By the by, here is an
extract from the Boston Pilot
Editor Of The Pilot:-You would
please many of your readers, and spread
widely a useful lesson, by giving a place
in the Plot to the following extract
from a letter by Judge Tourgee in the
New York Tribune Of the 3fst Of Ian

The amount of general panegyric
which is lavished on the separate States
% particular, ana upon the South gen
eral, Is altogether sickening to a North

such displays. There are certain gooI
admirable results flowing from this
md other foolish hurtfnl ones. One of
he good results is, that the Southern
nan never DISCUSSES himself in the ar

o proud of being a Southerner tbat
he cannot afford to deprecate himself
y becoming a counterfeit. In this the
south ISM strong and happy contrast !
