HOLIDAY TIMES.
Beautiful Articles Suitable for Christmas and
New Years Gifts.

The holiday season is yearly becoming
more attractive, because of the constant ef-
forts making to produce beautiful articles
suitable for friends to give az memenfoes OF
love and esteem. There seems to be no Emit
to the taste and inventive powers of those
who devote themselves to this work Dur
ing his receut visit to the east, Mr.. Il. s.
Stackpole purchased quite large and very
excellent assortment of fine holiday goods,
which he has this week Laid upon his count
ers, and which he offers to the public at very
reasonable rates. The display is a. fine one,
and IL worth examination by everybody,
even If there is no intention OF purchasing.
In the stock are good variety Of handsome
toilet cases, lined in silk, satin and other rich
goods, the cases being of various styles and
quite convenient, and the articles enclosed
being of ceIluloiI hard rubber, ETC., several
of the sets being artistically ornamented.
Several sets of exquisite perfume cases match
the toilet sets, while there are numerous
glove and handkerchief boxes in plush,
velvet, silk and fancy woods. There are a
number of stylish card cases, as well as
ladies bags and portemonnais, while the
work boxes are so beautiful that we fear the
recipients will spend more time In admiring
them than in using the worrying little instrn-
ments enclosed The supply Of Christmas
and New Years cards is fairly large and var
led. These charming little souvenirs Of
friendship should be more used than they
have been heretofore. They are not costly,
are very pretty, and frequently will give as
much pleasure as would far more expen-
sive present. There are many other articles
In this department, neat, rich, tasty, that
will cause happiness both to the giver and
receiver.
Books and pictures are always acceptable
presents, and mutual friends can give and re-
ceive them without that hesitation that some
times accompanies gifts of jewelry or other
articles. Realizing this Mr.. Stackpole pur-
chased a large stock of very handsome
books, many Of them richly illustrated by
the first artists Of the land. Among others
is q large folio volume of " Paradise Lost"
grandly illustrated by Gustave Dore. IL is a
work of art in every particular, Another
remarkable book Is copy of the Pilgrims
Progress" bound in oak boards which came
from Elston Church, whose bells Bunyan so
loved to ring. The church was rebuilt last
year, and the old oak timbers, put in place in
1850, wore devoted to binding new edition
Of Bunyan's immortal work, one copy of
which has found its way to the snow-capped
mountains of our Territory. Cowper, Coler-
idge, Scott, Moore, Byrsn, Burns, Tennyson,
Owen Meredith, are all represented in red
line editions, bound in turkey-morocco and
Hastily illustrated. Jean Ingelow, whose
charming poems are only equaled by her
charming character, Is there. The Western
poets, D. +. Taylor and win Carleton, are
there In beauty and strength. d. r. Locke,
the welI-known Nasty" is represented by
his recent poem, " Hannah Jane,n that story
too true of many married lives. In separate
volumes are "Lalla Rookh," illustrated by
John Tenniel and Tennyson's Dream OF
Fair Women with elegant engravings by
Thomas Moran, A. Frederichs, w. HI. Low,

erica Perhaps the finest Of the smaller
books is Edgar A. Poe's, /" The Bells to the

Riordan, A. Frederichs, Granville Perkins,
Miss G. A. Northam, and other well-known
