Everybody Celebrates 1t.

There is a charm in Christmas. We
have all read of the old miser Scrooge,
who was carried by three spirits on
Christmas Day, as on the wings of the
wind, and in all the strange transit the
influence of the day was seen and heard.
Not only on the streets of pomp and
pride, but in the narrow huts on bleak
moors, up and down in the mean, cold
tenement houses, there was q glow and
a heart of song. Among men digging
and delving in the pit. TO force from old
mother earth her riches, men transformed
into the active pick, ax and spade, was a
new breathing, day as the days of other
men.
On shipboard, as the bark sped on the
black and heaving sea, Christmas tune
was hummed, and every man on board,
good or bad, had a kinder word and
kinder look for his fellows. And even in
solitary lighthouse, built upon the
dismal reef of sunken rocks, some
leagues or so from shore, on which the
waters chafed and dashed the wild year
through" the solitary watchers, joining
their horny hands over the rough table.

Frosty Human Nature.

A Free Press reporter was IN stove
store on Michigan avenue yesterday
when a man came rushing in and said
to the proprietor:
"Have you gone into lying for o

"Oh, no."
"Well. you lied about that stove"
"Man on his way up there now to put
it up. Rushed to death, you know.
Hope you haven't suffered"
The next caller was a woman, who
fastened cold glare on the stove man
and deliberately said:
I'll never do a cents worth of bust
ness with you again if live here fifty
years."
"Stove-pipe is in the wagon there
and ready to go up, ma'am. Woke up
in the night to hope You wouldn't be

The third caller was boy, who
stood in the door and called:
"Hey, you! My father says he'd like
to knock your head off"
"Oh, yes, you are Mr.. Blanks son.
Just sent man up to your house with
that damper ten minutes ago. Lost
the sale of stove to hurry him Off"
"Are those fair samples of your call

ty times day at this season of the

"And you never talk back?"
"Never. hustle and do the best 1

back talk would lose their trade.

Mr.. +. J. Carlyle, one of the proprietors
of the Delmonico Hotel, has just received
$4,000 by express from New Orleans. being
one-twentieth of the capital prize of 0,OO0
in the drawing for October of the Louisiana
State Lottery. A few days before the draw
ing took place, he tried to dispose of his tick
cts, g., ,s56 among them, but without success.
Something very peculiar and interesting
attended the success of Mr.. Carlyle. A short
time ago. he and Mr.. Marshall. book-keeper
for Schwabacher Bros. entered into COM
pact that if one was ever SO lucky as to draw
the capital prize he would give the other 10
per cent of his drawing. As soon as he re-
ce1ved his money. Mr.. Carlyle hunted up
Mr.. Marshall and counted out 81 200 to the
surprised gentleman. He had forgotten
about the agreement. but MIR. Carlyle had
not. The Louisiana State Lottery is per-
fectly reliable, and those with the most con-
scIentious scruples can invest in it. It is
merely one form of speculation. The Walla
Wallans are very much pleased with the
honorable way in which the company treated
