Stephenvillc, December -. Christ
mas has come and gone, and with II
many Of the Joys and pleasures of the
little folks. Christmas morning dawn
ed here as beautiful and bright rs ever
a day dawned upon our country. The
sun rose grand and mJestical, aud
lighted up cloudless sky, not speclS
OF eliot appeared anywhere 10 break
the NJ brightness. The morning
was a little frosty, though the mir was
balny. and all nature conspired TO
make II truly II pleasant ms well as a
happy day.
The Christmas tree AT the Baptist
church was exhibited on Christmas
eve night, and was not only very
pretty tree, but was beautifully and
tasteiully dressed, with many costly
presents, as well as many cheaper ones
for the little folks. The house IL large
and commodious, but was packed To
its utmost capacity.
There was also a Christmas free at
the Methodist church on Christmas
night, which was very pretty and on
which We're many nice aud some costly
presents
The LadlesiAid society had recently
completed a very fine silk quilt which
was offered for sale nt the Christmas
tree at the Methodist church, and
brought the handsome little sum of
sixty-five dollars. The object of the
Ladies' Aid society is TO finish up and
adorn and beauty the church here,
The holidays nave passed so far
without any serious trouble. Every
IFlng is nun aud jollity though several
4 ,,ehts occurred a few days before
christmas, ana the indications were
then that by the aid of John Barley
corn we would see many bloody faces
and broken bones before New Years
day.
Judge Nugent of this place gave "A
magnificent dining to-day TO all the
members of the bar here aud their
families. Not only did the host and
hostess know how 10 prepare and
serve 10 their friends tooihsome dine
rer, but they know ms well

.hake them feel perfectly al home. All
had a most enjoyable time, and left
T9ing that they would not want any
thing more To elt this year unless a
range should come over their appc'
flifes.

| Mr.. William Kiefaber has lately re-
turned from trip to Central America,
SAYS the Dayton (Ohio) Democrat, and
he brought with him, as memento oil
his visit, several tropical birds and q
particularly lively specimen of the mon
| key tribe. The latter has been confined
in cage and placed on exhibition at
the Third street depot restaurant, OF
which Mr. Kiefaber is the proprietor.
The monkey has attracted much atten-
ton and many vxitors. About five
| o'clock yesterday morning he succeeded
in opening the door of his cage. thus
securing the freedom of the entire es-
adjustment He made the most of his
liberty and proceeded to inspect his new
| possessions. at once. On the counter
there stood an image of - coal black
monkey holding platter on which were
piled lot of oranges. The tropical
monkey surveyed his darkey counter
part at first with curiosity, then with
growing anger, aroused perhaps by the
stolid Indifference of the black monkey,
or may be it was the Unborn prejudice
of the lighter races against the darker
cropping out in this connecting link be-
tween the bipeds aud the quadruped
At all events his anger, soon grew to
frenzy, and, with a shrill scream. he
seized the image by the throat and dash
ed it to the floor, when it broke into
countless pieces. Elated with his sue
cess, he next seized a plaster image of
child bearing aloft a basket of fruit,
and the child shared the fate of the
black monkey. On the cigar counter
stood bronze kerosene lamp with a
highly ornamented globe, used for
lighting cigars. His monkeyship in
i a HI a 4
his disgust by sending the lamp after
the plaster images. Canned goods,
fruits. candies and other wares in turn
attracted his attention, and were scat
tered promiscuously around the floor.
Finally he found a basket of eggs, pick
ed one up and examined it critically
He tried to bite it, but his mouth was
not large enough to encompass the egg,
so he threw it on the floor, where, of
course. it was broken. The monkey
was attracted by the golden yolk. He
got down from his perch and examin-
ed the thing closely, thoughtfully
scratched his head, then returned to the
basket OF eggs. He took up another,
looked at it, then at the one spread out
upon the floor, and evidently concluded
that broken egg was better than an
unbroken one, and he acted promptly
on this conclusion. One by one the eggs
were fired at the stove, at the walls and
at various objects, and ia a few
minutes the interior of the restaurant
looked as though it had been throug an
earthquake. By this time quite a crowd
had been attracted to the windows. and
the spectators were enjoying the scene
immensely, when rear door opened
and ali employee made his appearance
on the scene. The mischief-maker was
captured and carried into igneminious
captivity. Mr.. Kiefaber has a monkey
for sale, and we give him this advertise
ment free of charge.

awas when the clerical man said, in the
most suaxe tone, Little boy, do you
know your catechism?" If there be any
one thing the Southern darky prides
himself upon it is his knowledge of the

newsboy promptly responded, Yes,
