gold, are jewels in themselves, and to those
who wish to crafty a friend, parent, or
brother, with the gift of such a watch as
will be cherished and priced for a lifetime,
the ones offered by Mr.. McInerny will prove |
to be just the thing. We are shown some
dressing-robes and smokingjackets that are
the ne plus ultra of comfort and elegance. |
To wake up on Christmas morning and find
one of these luxurious garments ready to be
put on, and a pair of such slippers as can be
bought of Mr.. McInerny, at our disposal
would be to realize how CHEEKY a thing il is
to have thoughtful friends and equally
thoughtful purveyors to good taste in our
midst.
Messrs. DIAs & GoNZALvES, dealers in
Portuguese goods, have q neat little store on
Hotel street, next to Mr.. d. w. Clark's
iewelry establishment. Here they have on
exhibition a variety of goods manufactured
in Portugal and the islands belonging to
that kingdom, and many of the pretty
things are novel in design and show much
taste and skill. In inlaid work there are
some handsome tables whose surfaces are
made up of blocks of vari-colored woods
arranged so as to form agreeable patterns of
form and color. There are some writing

conveniences for letter-writing, and form
ing handsome articles of furniture. In
the sides and tops of some glove and hand
kerchief boxes natural-colored bits of wood
are iniaid so as to form birds, flowers and
landscapes. In others there are represented
a traveller being carried in a palanquin,
and another on a mountain sled. Various
groups are thus arranged, all exhibiting the
Al
Portuguese. In smaller ware there are
paper-knives, c~rucifxes, tnimble-cases and
other articles of utility aud beauty. There
are some very handsome chains made of
horsehair displayed. These chains are in
white, black and red, aud are very light
and strong. There are also sets of jewelry,
comprising bracelets, necklaces and ear
rings, worked in hair To simulate roses and
'rosettes. They are decidedly new and
pretty, and quite in keeping with our
climate. The ladies will be particularly
pleased with the hand-embroideries shown.
This style of ornamentation is always in
vogue, and the work done by the Portuguese
women is very good and tasteful. Skirts
and chemises are shown deliberately fin
ished, and many other articles whose names
we know not. Messrs. DiaZ IL Gonzales
stock is by no means confined to the lines
We nave mentioned, but comprise many
other nice articles suitable for gifts.
Great preparations will no doubt be made
on all hands for f~easting royalty during
Christmas, and near. at hand is HORNS
BAKERY. the products of which have be-
come well known in every household. We
all know that Horns bread, in all its varie-
ties, and crackers of every shape and kind,
b4e;Ioa IL - ~ l,0 nIIao c0rnao al
are celebrated, and now there comes the
special product of his glories, the Christmas
and the New Year cake, rich to the taste,
elegant and attractive to the eye, and re-
dolent of the
Cinnamon and spice
And all things nice,
posed to be constructed. Some of the de-
signs into which the frosting of these cakes
is worked are very handsome and delicate.
The artist whose business il Is to do the
final ornamentation has all the appliances
for executing fine work, and under his skill
full hands there rise classic temples, elegant
flowers and laughing cupids. For the bridal
feast or the State dinner, the birthday cele-
bration or the grand ball, Mr.. Horn is
always ready to supply appropriate center
pieces or special designs. Of his candies all
know their exceltency, and We who have
witnessed the whole process of the transmit
tati0n of the pure sugar into the many
delicio. s CONNECTIONS and sweeties that load
the trays in the shop, can testify to their
purity and goodness. Pure candy is not in
the least hurtful to the children, for it is
only here aud there one can be found who
will devour it in excess. We all have ga
sweet TOOTH" and Horns ctndies ought to
satisfy the sweetest of US. The preparing
of chocolate creams is one of Horns spe-
~cialties AMI who is there that does not
like them when they are fresh? Young
man, remember. When you go to see her
take a box of creams" or "carsmels' with
you. You will be welcome. never fear
probably on your own account-surely OH
that of the creams. The rest is easy. For
the invalid, a..d those who delight in sweets
of an other kind. we can recommend Horns
Guava Jelly. Clear, aromatic, bland, it
glides over the palate. leaving an agreeable
sub-acid taste behind, unlike any other
jelly. 1t is always - welcome addition and
ornament to the tea-table. There is nothing
in the way of bread, cakes, pies, and the
many kinds and styles in which these are
made that Mr.. Horn cannot furnish. AL
ways fresh, crisp, light, rich and pIlatable,
his stock is a~bundant,-as it must be to
supply his large trade,-and first class AS
that trade can testify. If there ever is u
9 horn of plenty" it Is to be found on Hotel
street.
Probably the richest store of its class, in
point of variety and quantity OF goods, is
1 No. 10 Fort street. Being daily supplied
with the very best goods opened in Mr.. j.
L. WAREHOUSES; two wholesale establish
ments, and having at least twice the space
that any other store can boast of in which
H. display these goods, it is no wonder that
the two large rooms are as attractive AS any
i'm town. The show-windows iu themselves
are perfect pictures. There we see grouped
in admirable taste some elegant pictures
and ornaments. A pair of light stands for
