AMUSEMENTS,
National Theatre.

We trust that last nights performance at
the National Theatre OF tho Pirates of Pen
zance" is not unit of measurement by
which to grade the talent and worth Of the
Audrean Company. In fact we know 1t is not,
for the company is very fine, but II did not
show to advantage In Its initial performance.
Last evenings attempt at the "Pirates" was
the most dismal failure, in the operate line,
of the season. Generally speaking. and In
detail, the entire outfit was painfully poor.
The only participant in the business who
merits complimentary notice was the
prompter.
In this connection, however, we must not
forget to mention that the company was
harshly handicapped by n chain OF unex-
pected circumstances. The star Of the troupe,
Katherine Lewis, was unexpectedly compelled
10 remain in New York by the suit against her
by Barton and Comfy, and the programme for
the evening was neceesitated to BIO changed
on short notice from "Olivette' TO tho Cpl
rates" As Miss Lewis will be detained In
New York to-day the opera is changed again
this evening. Miss Madaline Lucette Will
give her beautiful rendition Of Bettin0 in
'sThe Mascotte," supported by an unexcep-
tionably strong cast with enlarged chorus.
Full particulars of the arrangement OF the
operas for the remainder OF the week Will be
DIyan in tO.mOrr0w'a Dapprs.

Minor Christmas Notes.

Mr.. G. B. Hess, the we'll known grocer
on the corner of Seventh and Olive streets,
was somewhat surprised yesterday morn
ing at receiving an elegant sealskin cap
from Messrs. Henry Davis, Otto Hainlin,
Harry Witt and John Miller, employees in
his store, as Christmas gift. To say that
Mr.. Hess was surprised does not express
his feelings, at this mark of remembrance
from those in his employ. 1t is pleasure
to record such evidences of good feeling
existing betwenn employer and employees.
The boys had a big time on the hill at
the head of jackson street yesterday and
hitched their bobs to some purpose. They
started from the top of the hill and foated
down to Eleventh or Twelfth street. There
was about a million Of them, more or less,
and they made music.
The printers of the GLOBE Office, yester-
day, did very pleasant thing by Mr..
Lightbourn, the forman of the news room.
Mr.Lightbourn isone of the oldest printers
in the state, and to signify their respect
and esteem for him the printers presented
him with a handsome and costly fur cap.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 25.-To-day was

CHRISTMAS.

A Glorious Day and its Quiet Observance.
1t would be difficult to imagine a more
magnificent Christmas day than greater
portion of yesterday afforded. The sun
shone brilliantly and the air was just sufi-
ciently cool to be invigorating. The
sleighing was superb and the mild
ness of the temperature made sleigh rid
ing so enjoyable that hundreds improved
the opportunity. The banks, courts and
all public Offices were closed. Many stores
were closed all day and those which opened
for holiday trade closed at p. m. The
day was given up, almost entirely to
pleasure. The Christmas trees gladdened
ihe hearts of the little people in the morn
ing and the Christmas dinners gladdened
the stomachs of the big people
in the afternoon. It was
a general merry day all around. There
were numerous private presentations and
Manifestations of good will which renewed
friendship and made both giver and re-
clpient the happier. The latter portion of
the day the sky was clouded, but no storm
ensued and the day closed in good order
with the curtains of night duly tucked in.
And thus passed to its final account
Christmas Day, 1882.

n CaDitaL Christmas.

st. Paul can justly boast of her numer-
ous coy, comfortable homes, where peace
and plenty abound during all seasons of
the year, but it IS reserved for compare
lively few of them, where the glad Christ
mas time is enjoyed in that good old fash
ioned way, as it was observed yesterday at
the beautiful home of W. L. Perkins, ESQ.,,
No. 1877 East Ninth street. For years past
Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins have made it habit
to observe Christmas day, and in fact the
entire holiday week. in a manner pleasing
to themselves and enjoyable to all their
numerous friends. During the holiday
season, their spacious and elegant parlors
are set aside for the pleasure and delight
of the entire household, old and young,
master and servant, as we'll as numerous
others who are always kindly remembered
by this happy couple. A magnifcentiC Christ
mas tree had been erected in the center of
the two rooms and it was adorned yester-
day with over thousand different articles
of beauty and value. The tree is placed
in tasty enclosure some ten feet by six,
in which is a representation of miniature
park with its lake spanned by bridge
the lake being covered with all kinds of
water fowl, such as ducks, geese, swans,
etc.. and surrounding which is beautiful
lawn, with croquet parties, ladies swing
ing in hammocks; ladies and gentlemen on
horseback, ETC., etc. At the base of the
tree, on each of the four cor
ners of the pedestal a representa-
tion of Santa Claus peeps out from amid
the shrubbery, and towering above is the
splendid tree, the branches of which
are literally loaded with its
beautiful adOrnments, the whole present
ing picture of beauty delightful to be-
hold, and one upon which the eye would
never tire-in fact joy forever. This is
not all. Around the room was scattered
in almost boundless confusion the loving
gifts from parents to children, from chill
dren to parents, and from both to the SER
wants of the household, and last but not
least, the substantial gifts in remem-
brance of those whom the Savior said was
always with US. Surely Christmas of 1882
was 'Merry Christmas to Mr.. and Mrs.
Perkins.

RAILROAD WARS.
Their Effects Upon che Corporations smd
Upon the Public,
IN. Y. Tribunel

Their Effects Upon che Corporations end
Upon the Public,
IN. Y. Tribune.]
Most controversies have two sides. In
the controversies between the railroads and
those who have sought to REGULATE trans
Portation by national law, the Tribune has
failed to see good sense in the proposed
enactments. Some have been bIuntly
communistic, sonle merely spiteful, and
many injadicious and dangerous, though
we'll meant. But there is another side to
the question. There are some features to
railroad management which ought to be
regulated or wholly suppressed, if it can
be done without harm to public interest
greater than the evil which it is sought to
remove.
Last week there was issued from the
office of Commissioner Fink statement
showing the movement of freight eastward
from Chicago, during the past four years,
and the rates charged. Live stock is not
included in the statement of tonnage, nor
any freight merely local to the road re-
ceiving it; the tonnage is given of all
freight shipped each month from Chicago
to points at or beyond the eastern termini
of the Lake Shore, the Michigan Central
and Canada Southern, the Grand Trunk, the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago, the
various connections of the former Atlantic
and Great Western to Salamanca, and the
Baltimore s. Ohio to Parkersburg and
Wheeling. This statement, though it does
not include the whole of east bound
through freight, practically and correctly
represents the whole. The rates given are
those charged on way bills. AS the actual
charges we're much lower during the rail
road wars, the difference being made up
by rebates and other devices, the Railroad
Gazette holds it reasonable to allow only
1874 cents per 100 pounds for the lowest
and largest class of freight in August,
1881, 121a cents for the rest of that year,
10 cents for January, 1871 cents for Feb
ruary, and 17115 cents for March. These,
and the rates given by Commissioner
Fink's Office, are the rates for grain and
flour, which form SO large a part of the
cast bound through freight that the results
of the whole eastward movement are
thought to be correctly indicated by as
suming that the entire tonnage eastward
went through to New York at the lowest
rates.
Computations on this basis, not made
by any grangers, anti-monopolists, or
"blackmailers," but by the commissioners
assistants and the Railroad Gazette, show
changes in monthly earnings as follows:
