Christmas Gifts.

The particular form of that prac-
tice whose donations are known by the
title of Christmas-boxes (and which APP
pear to differ from New Years gifts
in this, that the former, passing from
the rich to the poor and from the
master to his dependents, are not re-
ciprocal in their distribution, whereas
the latter are those gifts for the mutu-
al expression of good will and congrat-
ulation, which are exchanged between
friends and acquaintances), was, per-
haps, originally one of the observances
of Christmas day, and made a portion
of its charities. The multiplied bus
mess of that festival, however, probably
cansed it to be postponed till the day
following, and thereby placed the
Christmas-boxes under the pa tronage
OF ST Stephen. The title itself has
been derived, by some, from the box
which was kept on board of every ves-
sci that sailed upon IL distant voyage
for the reception of donations to the
priest,-who in return was expected
to offer masses for the safety of the
expedition, to the particular saint hav-
ing charge of tie ship,-and above all,
of the box. Tl.is box was not to be
opened till the return of the vessel !;
and We can conceive that, in cases
where the mariners had a perilous
time Of it, this casket would be found
to enclose tolerable offering.

What May be Eaten With the Fingers.
JOHN p. TWEED,
Clerk of Board.

There are number of edibles that
the most fashionable and well bred
people now eat at the dim er table
with their fingers. The are:
Olives, to which fork should new
er be applied.
Asparagus, whether hot or cold,
when served whole, as it should be.
Lettuce which should be dipped in
tho dressing or in a little salt.
Celery, which may properly de laid
on the table-cloth beside the plate.
Strawberries, when served with the
stems and, as they usually are in the
most elegant houses.
Bread, toast, and all small kinds of
cakes.
Fruit of all kinds, except melons,
and preserves, which are eaten with u
spoon.
Cheese, which is almost invariably
eaten with the fingers by the most
particular people.
Even the leg or other small pieces
Of a bird is taken in the fingers at
fashionable dinners, and at most
luncheons ladies pick small pieces OF
chicken without fork.-Harper's

Ancient Cities.

Nineveh was fifteen miles long,
wide, and 40 miles round, with a wall
100 feet high, and thick enough for
three chariots abreast. Babylon was
80 miles within the walls, which were
81 feet thick and $50 high, with 100 bra.
zen gates. The temple of Diana at
Ephesus was 42O feet to the support
of the roof. 1t was 100 years in build
ing. Tho largest Of the pyramids is
161 feet high, and 653 on the sides
its base covers IL acres. The stones
are about 80 feet in length, and the
layers are 800. 1t employed $4,000
men in building. The labyrinth in
Egypt contains 500 chambers and $50
halls. Thebes, in Egypt presents
ruins q miles round. Athens was
20 miles round and contained
25O,OOO citizens and 100000 slaves.
The temple of Delphos was so rich in
donations that it was plundered OF
$5OO,OOO, and Nero carried away 200
statues. The walls of Rome were
13 miles round.

The steady industrial and financial
progress of the country since Cieye-
lands Inauguration is shown in the
Department reports which are now in
Congress. During that time the pub
lie domain has been enriched by the
return to it of unearned land grants
and areas covered by fraudulent at
tempts at grabbing, of SO, ,15S, 800 acres.
The business of the Postoffice is per-
haps the best general index to the in
crease in the general business Of the
country that can be found outside of
the Treasury. General Dickenson's
report shows the postal revenues to
have increased $l4,S3I, 1873 this year,
over the year ending June 80, 1885 !;
while the deficiency which has to be
provided for by appropriation has de-
creased $3,526,2S7, and is now only
S., ,447 ,657. Meantime the number
of Postoffices has increased 6,124. The
railway service has increased 1900
miles, and with an increase of 3.32 per
cent in the average number of trips
per week there is decrease of 70 per
cent in the rate of cost per mile.

LIEUT.. Abbot recently read paper
before the Loyal Legion OF Chicago in
which he sought to prove that in the
late war the negro troops were in all
particulars superior to white soldiers.
He said the negro troops would have
ended the war much quicker if they
had been in the ranks at the beginning.
Verify, the white man seems played
out, and therefore, instead Of only one
negro in Mr.. Harrison's Cabinet, we
enlarge our demand; we want two.

EDISON has, it is stated, devised a
doll with small phonograph inside,
which talks when the handle is turned
The phonograph is placed in a
receptacle in the chest of the doll and
the handle protrudes. When it is
turned the words appear to issue from
the dolls mouth. Edison has also de.
vised clock which announces the
time by speaking; the talking appara-
