Bloody Christmas I'm New Orleans

A telegram from New Orleans says
the Christmas holiday "was probably
the most disorderly and disgracetul
ever observed" in that city. "Mobs of
men, numbering hundreds, all blowing
tin horns and headed with fife and
drum, paraded the streets, and the din
Of crackers and trumpets was fearful.
A long list OF casualties is reported from
the use of fire arms. Several fires Oc-
CURED, and sand hoOdlum assaults,
shooting and cutting atfrays, were more
numerous than for a long time. The
| municipal authorities made no effort to
suppress these disorders, except in a
| few instances, where arrests for crime
| we're made" In Atlanta, Georgia, the
| Christmas casualties were: Zone negro
murdered by another-shot through the
heart without provocation white
man Drained by another, and no hopes
Of recovery two sOGs carved their faith
er-po.sibly fatally negro woman
stabbed a negro man to the heart a
policeman shot negro in the leg for
attempting TO take a club from Elm
another policeman was shot through
the coat and pantaloOns by some un
known person and there were bleeding
beads and bruised noses too numerous
to mention, there being 125 cases a.
the station houses in ten hours, a
drunken policeman also mads muct
trouble.

A. P. Beecher, the photographer, has
recently completed group of nine Eic'
lures for the young ladies' composing a
Sunday school class at the Chadd' s
Ford Baptist Church, of which the
Rev. John W. Sullivan Is the pastor.
The picture is intended as a present tor
their teacher, and is finished in Beech
er's best style. Unless the artist has
greatly hattered his subj ect, it would
be difficult matter to find an equal
number of as handsome girls in any
other Sunday school class in the coun.
try, and Beecher says that he did not
flatter in the least, but that they, the
same are as all his pictures, are true 10
life.
He says that be has been in business
in this city for fourteen years, and this
was the busiest Christmas he has ever
had. Mr.. Beecher boasted that al
though tn rush was b ycnd his antic l.
pations, he did not disspoiot a single
person, but had every picture finished
and ready to deliver at the time prom
lsed. He was busy on Christmas day

4 large gathering of Sunday school
scholars and friends of the Presbyter-
ian Church, Montgomery, Alabama,
assembled on ChIistlpas afternoon IN
Academy Hall to partake ola Christ
mas dinner and distribute presents to
the scholars. A Christmas tree was
erected on ths stage, and at the proper
moment the curtain rose and santa
Claus made his appearance. In pass,
ing before the tree his wig, composed
CT long cotton, acci entally took ire
and in an instant he was enveloped IN
flames. In this condition he leaped
down among the audience, who, IN
their haste to get down the stairs,
trampled each other. A person had
the presence of mind to wrap his coat
around the victim and force him down
upon the floor, thus saving his life and
thatot many others, for at that instant
another gentleman who threw an over
coat over him struck lamp overhead,
which care down upon him with S
crash, spilGng the oil over his whol'
person. A fierce and desperate fight
ensued tosave his life, III the midst o
which pans full OF dish water played
prominent part The flames were
! finally subdued. The victim, GeorS
Smedes, was badly, but not fatally
burned. He was conveyed to his RESI-

Died, in this city, yesterday, Jan. 18th,
1882, about 1890 a. M, Mrs. Mary Eliza
beth Blair, wife of Jno. N. Blair
Mrs. Blair was the daughter of Charles
and Julia J. Embree, of Washington Coun-
ty, Tennessee. She was born ON the 23d
day of August, 1843, and at the time OF
her death was 50 years, months and Ii
days old She was married on the 10th day
of June, 1868, and came at once with her
husband to Knoxville, where he was then
residing. In 1869 she united with the First
Presbyterian Church, of which she contin-
ued to be member until her
death. She was an intelligent
and conscientious Christian woman,
faithful and regular in her private devotions
and study of the word of God punctual in
her attendance upon the ordinances of
Gods house, when her health permitted !;
jealous for the cause of Christ, and earnest
and dihgent in training her children in the
nurture and admonition of the Lord. She
was woman of feeble constitution and
delicate health, yet always bright and cheer
ful-never murmuring or repining under
any of her Affections, which were frequent
and often sore. Believing in God and his
Son, Jesus Christ, she did not let her heart
be troubled by the changes SO incidental to
this present state; but relying VI on the
promises of God, she looked forward to the
! blessedness of the life beyond the grave.
! She was help-meet to her husband, frugal
! and economical, industrious and prudent in
| domestic affairs; sympathizing with her COM
| panion in all his cares and labors, encourag-
| ing him in his efforts, and seconding ali his
! good principles both of religion and manli
! ness, and would rather have seen him right
| than rich.
Her last illness was of but seven days du-
ration, and only until the day preceding her
| death did her family and friends feel any
| apprehension of fatal Termination of it.
/ The last hours of her life were clouded by
| delirum, so that the family and friends had
not the comfort of her dying ties.

religion she professed. But he1

love are known, and mark her true disciple
of Jesus Christ, in the estimation of all who
knew her.
From the beginning of her sickness she
anticipated its fatal issue, and contemplated
her end with Christian resignation, faitl
and hope. She leaves husband, three lit
tie children and many kindred and friend:
to weep over their loss.
''As we have borne the image of the
earthly, we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly. For this corruptible must pu
on interruption, and this mortal must pu
on immortality. Thanks be unto God
which giveth us the victory through oul
Lord Jesus Christ" P.
