THE KEY OF CHRISTMAS LAND.

Who has the key CT the Christmas Land'
Where tie bonfire shines,
And the holly twines,
Carollers sing-a merry band
And stars are bright DER that fair strand
Who has the key of Christmas Land?
Light are the hearts in Christmas Land;
In each group you meet
There are faces sweet.
Bosoms young and g~uileless are there,
And brows not yet wrinkled with care
Who has the key Of Christmas Land?
Dear baby hearts in Christmas Land,
We want to be near,
And join in your cheer
When the tree with its strange fruit bends
And you wait for what Santa sends
Who has the key of Christmas Land?
Love has the key of Christmas Land.
Oh! come, Cherub Love,
With wings like the dove,
Spread over hearts thy light Of peace.
Sow for e harvest full of Increase
Open the gates of Christmas Land.
Open the gates of Christmas Land;
There is much to do
And the days are few.
Bid all men set Charity free;
By thy grace, let us see there be
None of Gods poor in Christmas Land.

That Christmas party at Gaulby Hall
was the most enjoyable I was ever at,
and the people (the house was crammed
full of visitors) the most entertaining and
agreeable 1 ever met. There was one
young person especially "a Miss Alice
Pratlson she was then-with whom got
on remarkably we'll. I never enjoyed a
visit SO much In my life as I did that
one, nor a ride so much as one afternoon
when Miss Pratison and 1, after a capital
run, rode home together with her little
hand in mine and our horses very close
together. Next Christmas, If Alice
doesn't object, l mean to have a jolly
little house party of my own.

EGG-FRYERS.

Egg-fryers with sunken places in
shape of hearts, stars and other devices
are comparatively inexpensive kitchen
utensils, by means of which eggs may be
ir1ed in these fancy shapes. Fried eggs
should be dropped deity and quickly
into the spider. Unless they are fried
in a shape it is quite likely that the
white will run about, and they will pre-
sent a very ragged and uneven appear
ance when they are dished. In order to
prevent this, housekeepers sometimes
roll them into compact little rolls and
trim them. When this is done the egg
has to be cooked more than is to every
ones taste. When the eggs are first
broken into the frying-pan or the egg
fryer it is we'll to sprinkle a bit Of salt
and pepper over each n in order to
favor it.-NeU York Tribune.

Tire CITY Election.

The time for the city election draws
on apace, next Tuesday being the date.
Thus far there has been but little talk
of candidates-in fact it would not
take a very thorough search to find
suitable persons for all the Offices. The
STAR has frequently referred to the ne
cessity of electinn men that are at the
same time conservative and progressive.
The broader their general knowledge
the better. Men who have minds Of
tilsir own and opinions of their own,
at the same time, men that are willing
to yield their own private opinions to
the wishes of the people and carry in
to effect their propositions. If Hot
Springs is built to a citv, it must be
by the harmonious cooperation of
everybody. The solitary objector to
any line of action should yield his will
to that Of the majority, else some sour
tempered, contracted, pessimistlc In
dividual could e%ffectually block the
wheels of progress. We must have
city officers that will enforce the will
of their constituents. In the first ward
we have heard the name Of George
Turner mentioned for Alderman and
the STAR believes him to be eminen.iy
fitted for the position. In the second
ward DR.. A. s. Stewart, whose quail.
ffcations for the Office cannot be ques.
toned, has been suggested. For the
third ward the STAR has heard no sug.
gestions of candidates. r. W. Sham
appears to have a unanimous endorse.

KING KALAKAUA AS A BA;E-BALL-
IsT.-King Kalakaua, the deceased
monarch of the Sandwich Islands,
was an ardent admirer of baseball.
One bright summers day in Chica-
90, when Adrian Constantine Arson
and his nimble minions were closing
their last test to humble the pride
and defeat the proud Bostonian's, a
red faced gentleman from the nntam-
ed west was doing the umpiring,
and, to everybody's disgust, he was
favoring the men from Boston. Kala-
kaua was there. He knew Arson
intimately, and lie wanted to see the
grand old man triumph.
In the Chicagos' half of the ninth
inning, with men on second and
third, Arson came to the bat. The
score stood two to one in favor of
Boston. With majestic dignity the
King offered tie bet $40 that Arson
would make a base hit and win the
game. One of the gentlemen in the
box accepted the wager. Kalakaua
produced a crisp bank note and tue
bet was made. Then, to eyerybodys
amusement and his Kinglet's disgust,
the umpire called Arson out on
three strikes. The bleechers Kissed,
the stands groaned at the decision,
but his majesty the King simply
turned to his friends and in a voice
horse with passion exclaimed :"Gen-
tleman the umpire is one dreadful
