"Why, doctor, what kind OF simple remedies, as

HOLIDAY ENTERTAINMENTS.
Sunday School and Other Christmas Pleas
urcs for the Children.

The Christmas entertainment of the Sun
day school of the L Street Baptist church
drew together large number of the mem
bers and friends of the scholars. The enter
tainment was held in the lecture room of the
church, which was taxed to its utmost capacity.
The programme was a long one, and was well
given. Red Cloud the noted Sioux chief was
present, and made a short address. The
room was beautifully decorated, the ar
rangement of the evcrgreens and sclec-
tion of the notices being exceedingly
tasteful. The programme was as follows !:
Prayer by pastor, DIR. Faunce; singing,
Christmas anthem, school; recitation, Christ
mas Comes but Once Year" Alice Parks ;
singing by school; address by pastor; recita-
tion, around Our Christmas Tree" Oracle
Deland short address by Red Cloud, through
an interpreter; singing by school; giving of
presents to every member OF primary class,
also to each scholar of school notice of sudden
severe illness of the primary class teacher,
Miss Burr, and the exhibition of handsome
engraving, majolica fruit dish full of choice
fruit, &c, presented to her by friends in the
name of her class; presentation of handsome
basket of flowers to pastor from primary class.
The annual festival of the Calvary Baptist
church Sunday school was held last evening.
The Sabbath school room was crowded there
being between six and seven hundred scholars
and friends present. Many Of the children
were awarded prizes for prompt attendance,
and every scholar received slight token of
remembrance from his teacher. An i'm
promptu programme was arranged and sue
ccssfully carried out, and the evening was
passed most pleasantly.
\ pleasant entertainment was given yester-
day afternoon in the parlors of the Spence
rian business college by the Bethany free
kindergarten of the Washington Froebel So
cioty. \ bountitully laden Christmas tree
contained presents for all the little ones, who

NOBLE NAME; OR, DONNlNGHAUSEN. BY
CLAIRE Won GLUMER Translated by Mrs. a. l..
WIsTER. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co.
Washington: C. G. Purcell 'I
This is story full of interest and extremely
pleasantly told. While for the most part it is
domestic in its character, it has some scenes
and incidents that are decidedly dramatic
and which chain the attention. The two
principal characters, Johanna and Dr. Ludwig
Werner, are well drawn, and the characteris-
ties of each stand cut in strong relief The
individual independence which keeps them
apart is happily shown and the better under
standing which finally brings them together
is artistcally worked up. 1t is u book which
will be read with interest at all times.

ALL ADRIFT; OR, THE GoLDwING CLUB. B

ALL ADRIFT; OR, THE GoLDWING CLUB. By
OLIVER Optic, author of Young Americans
Abroad" 1.-THE Great Western Series" Sc, &c,
Boston: Lee Il Shepard. Washington: william
Baantyne & Son.
Like the last book mentioned this is one
especially attractive to boys. 1t is the first
volume of a new set of books to be known as
the "Boat Builder Series" and narrates the
adventures of boy who is trying to do some
thing to help support the family, but who
finds himself all adrift in the world. As
his father was Il pilot on a steamer, and he
was born and brought upon the shore of Lake
Champlain, he could not well avoid being II
boatman and nearly all the scenes are on the
water. While they are most attractively pre-
sentcd, the author also has injected a deal of
useful information into the book, and, as
Dory Dornwald will meet with new advcn-
tures in the subsequent volumes of this series,
it,is safe toypresume that their appearance
will be eagerly looked for by those boys who
are fortunate to read "All Adrift."

THELIVE- OAK BOYS; OR, THE ADVENTURES
OF RICHARD CONSTABLE AFLOAT AND
ASHORE. By ELIJAH KELLOGG, author of" Elm
Island Stores," Pheasant Cove Stories" &c.
Boston Lee d sheeard. Washington: Will
liam Ballantyne & Son.
The author has in this book, as in all his
previous works, so thoroughly adapted the
moral intended to be inculcated to the scenes
and incidents of the story, that while boys
will read the adventures of the mischievous
hero with intense interest, they will see at
every page the errors that he committed, and
also read this book with profit, especially those
whose system of enforcing obedience consists
simply in word and blow, but with the
blow first. "The Live Oak Boys" will be
good book to place in the stocking Of any boy
on Christmas eve.

ouINTUs GLAuD1usi Romance of Imperial

SOlNlNS 1bAODluGi IulndHCC VI lnptIlul
Rome. By ERNST ECKsTEIN. From the Ger.
man. by Clara Bell New York william S.
Gottsberger. Washington Brentano
Frequently historical novels are prosy and
tedious on account of the mass of explanatory
descriptive matter that is employed, but in
this instance such is not the case. The story
opens at once, and is held continuously
through the two volumes in mastcrly man
ner. Those who desire information will find
it in abundance in the copious and intelligent
notes that in this edition are placed at the
foot of every page The moving springs of
passion were the same in the days of imperial
Rome as to-day, and consequently many of
the incidents in this story might occur at the
present time. 1t is because the author has
followed so closely the workings of the hu-
man heart, which have been the same in all
ages, that the tale is so intensely interesting.
The success of this book since it first issued
has been most pronounced, and there seems
no reasons why it should not run through
many editions yet.

New York: White IL Stokes. Washington: j. D..
Free.
This collection ofsketches, which las is stated
in the introduction, were originally offered on
the shrine of college journalism, is exceedingly
amusing and arranged rs they are now in
hook form, handsomely bound, will prove an
attractive holiday gift, There are sketches
that every college man will recognize at once
and which will carry him to the days when
he was himself connected with some of the
experiences that are so happily sketched.
GRANDMOTHER ELSIE; Il sequel to "Else's
WidowhODd" By MARTHA FINLEY, author of
" Elsie DinsmOre,' mildred and Elsie" " Mil
dre18 Married Life" &C. New York Dodd,
Mead d Co.
This is book which will more particularly
interest girls, and the story Is so smoothly
and pleasantly told that the volume once
commenced will rarely be laid down until the
end is reached. Like all the works of this
author II deep religious sentiment pervades
the book, and, without being didactic, she ee-
Yates and improves her readers. The book is
illustrated and should be very popular.
THE PRINCESS AND CURDIE By GEORGE MAC.
DONALD, LID. Philadelphia: i Is. LAppincutt
Is Co. Washington: j. ". whitaker.
This is I'm interesting fairy tale which is
most pleasantly told, and will hold the attcn-
tion from the commencement to the close.
There are some useful bits of information scat
tered through the descriptive passages, and in
the adventures of Curdie a good lesson is
taught, or several, in fact, which will not be
lest upon the child who reads II. twill form
q welcome holiday gift.

PLAINS; OR, THE WESTERN ADVENTURES
OF tom SMART, BOB EDGE AND PETER
SMALL. By WILLIAM II. RIDING, member of the
geographical survey under Lieut.. Wheeler
New York: D. Appleton Il Co. Washington :
W. II. Morrison.
This is another interesting book for boys
and will make a most attractive holiday gift,
as it is printed upon excellent paper is
handsomely bound, and is profusely illus
tratcd. While the adventures are strik-
ingly and graphically told, there is
also to be found a vast amount
of geographical information in regard to n
section of the far west of which but little is
generally known. The wonderful richness
and resources of this territory are also
shown, and the whole book made greatly in
structive as well as highly entertaining.

THE MoDIRN HAGAR. \ drama By CHAnlE'
NJ. CLAY author of "Baby Rue" New YORK;
George '. HARLAN Il Co.
ALTHOUGH the author does not assert that
his is Il squel to Baby Rue yet the same
chaTcicr.thot appear in the earlier work a, c
found in tie present drama. The plot is one
of great magnitude, being the persistent at
tempt of arich old man to cause the death of
several pesons in order that he may inherit
certain v,st estates. This attempt extends
over perod of seventeen years, and his last
effort results in his own death at the
hands of u uuadroOn woman, the Hagar
Of the drama whom, like the Egyptian of old,
he had driven forth into the world, but with
this exception he had retained his and her
child, girl, who when glown to womanhoOd
and brohght face to face with her mother dis
owns her before the world while acllnowl-
cdging her in secret. The incidents are,
many df thcm, perhaps, rather improbable; I;
but thdy are strongly dramatic and many
scenes If the late war are given with strong
confederate coloring. II is a work that will
he read with interest, and the second volume
will be taken upso soon as the first is finished.
DIVORCE. BY MARGARET LEE, author Of g DR..
Nilmct's Love-" Little Adriance &c. New
York lOhu w. Lowell d Co. Washington;
William Bnllautyne Il Son.
This is a story that will he read with deep
interest, The characters are well and sharply
drawn and the incidents such as are met with
in everyday life. The subject is one of vital
Importance at the present time, one which is
under general discussion, both in this country
and abroad, and it addresses itself to the scri-
Gus consideration of every man and woman in
the land. The author claims that in depict
ing the various scenes which she has por-
trayed so vividly and forcibly, she has
not oycrstepped the bounds of truth ;
but has presented merely a series Of incidents
which have fact for their foundation. The
interest is fully kept up throughout the entire
book, and it will, no doubt, create Il decided
sensation. In the issuing of this book, which
is well printed and well bound in cloth, the
Mcssrs. Lowell have made an experiment TO
see if the works of American authors cannot
be placed before the public at as low rate as
the reprint of foreign works, and it is GER
tainly hoped their venture will be successful.
