IN THE CHURCHES.
How the Day VIII be Observed-The
Music aud Decorations.

How the Day viii be Observed-The
Music aud Decorations.
The day will be observed as usual in the
Episcopal and Catholic Churches. The
decorations are unusually handsome, and
the services promise to be of more than
ordinary interest. None of the Protestant
denomination, except the Episcopal, have
announced special services, but at these
churches the services prescribed for the
occasion Will be performed, and the rec
tors will deliver the customary Christmas
sermon.
ST. JOHNS CHURCH.
At st. Johns Church there will be
morning service, with sermon by the
rector, Rev. Charles II. Strong, and holy
communion at IL O'Clock. The annual
Sunday school festival will not be held
to-day, but tomorrow evening.
The decorations are more elaborate
than last year. The handsome gothic in
terror is festOoned with evergreens and
presents a beautiful sight. The
chancel and altar show the
work of deft hands. Before the
super-altar in a scroll is the Christmas
motto, 'sThOu shalt call His name Jesus-''
The JOYOUS words, "Let all the Angels Of
God worship Him" and s'The Desire of all
Nations is Come" are wrought IN bright
letters in the panels below. The altar
cross, wrought in evergreens, is beauti-
fully decorated with white and cOlOred
camellias and the fragrant lilies of the
valley. The Christmas emblems above
the altar are beautifully de-
signed and the entire decoration
gives evidence of superior taste.
The chancel rail is heavily wound with
evergreens, and the font, covered with
mass of vines, is surmOunted by an en-
blem of immortelles. The pulpit and
lecturn are also decorated. over the
entrance, and underneath the choir loft,
Is the motto, ''Sing Unto the Lord in His
strength"
The musical services will be especially
appropriate to the day. The programme
includes selections from some of the most
noted composers, and viii be preceded by

ships.
Col. James Atkins, who has been in
Washington for some days in the interest
Of Col. A. n. Wilson's application for the
Postmastership, returned to Savannah
Yesterday. Col. Atkins has also decided
to become an applicant for the position of
Judge of the Northern Judicial District
of Georgia, which is likely to become va
cant through the unfortunate affection OF
Judge McCay.
Speaking of the Postmastership last
evening Col. Atkins said that he had
seen both the President and the Post
master General. He has no doubt Of Col.
Wilson's appointment. The Postmaster
General told him while on his trip to
New Orleans some weeks since that he
would recommend Col. Wilson for the
position, and when he saw him in Wash
ington on Monday he said he had not
changed his mind and would send Will
sons name to the White House on the
following day. The President gave no
statement as TO what he would do, but
Col. Atkins thinks the Postmaster Gener-
aPs recommendation will be acted upon.
The Senate having adjourned until Jan.
no further nominations for Federal
offices in Georgia will be made until it
meets again. 1t is learned that the Presi-
dent is considering but two Republican
names-thOse of FarroW and Cunning
ham-for the Judgeship of the Southern
District. Some time ago the President had
given up the idea Of appointing Col. Far
row, but the pressure, it is stated, has
been renewed at Washington, and the
friends of the applicant are much en-
nod
