San Francisco nIarket Review.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 29.-Oranges arrived in
good supply yesterday, fifteen carloads coming
to hand. Choice navels are still rather scarce,
and those which arrive are held firmly.
The first cherries of the season arrived yes
terday, twenty-four boxes being received from
the Sacramento valley. They were of very good
quality, and sold readily for 81 5Ot@$3 per box.
Bananas are somewhat lower Strawberries
are cheaper. si
Stocks of old potatoes are accommodating ON
dealers hands, orders being principally for new
potatoes.
Dealers in butter are feeling more cheerful as
there is an encouraging tendency to firmness.
The demand has picked up, and dealers have
resumed packing, thereby relieving their
stocks.
Eggs are not in active demand, and the mar
ket is weak.
There is tendency to weakness as regards,
vegetables. Green peas are much lower and so
is asparagus.

the man as he bade me good night.
He pointed to door exactly opposite

Christmas Carols.

Musical specialists divide carols into
two classes, the sacred and the secular,
although there is a third, the words Of
which are curious admixture of both,
as for example:
If the sun shines through the apple
tree on Cristmas Day there will be an
abundant crop the following year.
Now the timeis come wherein
Our Savior Christ Is born;
The larder's full of beef and pork
The garner's filed with corn.
The music is often excellent, many Of
thercarols being composed during the
best days of the ecclesiastical masters,
and in not few of these compositions
appear fugue, counterpoint, and even
canon Of excellent composition and har-
mony.
They were originally sung in all the
churches at Christmas time, instead of
the hymns for the day, and-in the rural
districts of England this custom Is still
observed. But more frequently at pres
ent they are heard from the iips0f stroll
ing bands of singers, while solitary
warbler sometimes serves to recall the
carroller in Dickens's Christmas story,
who begins outside the door with:
'sGod bless you, merry gentlemen,
may nothing you dismay," when old
Scrooge cuts the song short with
ruler.
Many collections of carols have been
made, and some of them are really re-
markable compositions, being fugues in
three to six parts, and the words Of not
few convey ancient legends, occasion
ally remarkably poetical, both in idea
and language, such as s'The Carol Of
the Holy Wells"

And one of them was Mary mild,
Our Lords mother of Heaven.
Oh, what are you seeking, you seven fair

Come tell, come tell what seek you

We're seeking for nolaaves, Thomas
But for a friend of thine;

A MAD CHRISTMAS
By E. PHILLIPS orPRNHrm.

son are essentially domestic joys; and
every one is either looking forward to
convivial meetings with circle of rela.
tions and friends or happy reunion
with his own family. At such time a
middle-aged bachelor with no relations
feels rather out Of it.
Now, although | must plead guilty to
ten years of bachelorhood, never was
one Of the misanthropical type. / was
single (observe the past tensO not from
principle, but merely from force Of cir
cumstances, and l was never addicted to

pleasure seeking world. On the CON
trary, l am Of somewhat jovial disposi-
tion. and dwes always fond Of society.
Christmas tims I liked to spend at a Jolly
country house, and could turn my mind
to charades, danclng, romping with the
villagers Of children, coniuring and
many other accomplishments. In fact,
I may say with fine modesty that / once
heard myself described by couatzy
hostess as an extremely useful sort Of
man.
The idea Of spending Christmas in any
solitary rooms, with only my landlady
and her domestic to talk to was a con-
tingency which l had never contem-

was very nearly brought face to face
with it. generally had at least two or
three invitations to selectxofv pzSsnd

invitations did not arrive. The Har-
woods, with whom I had spent the
Christmas before, had lost . child, and
were in mourning; the Houldens were
wintering at Nice (Mrs. Houlden was
delicate) and at Houghton Grange both
the girls were married, and the Christ
mas house parties were things of the
past. These were my stock invitation;
and as I recollected others among my
circle OF acquaintances to whom some-
thing or other had happened since last
year it slowly dawned upon me that if
l desired TO avoid Christmas in Lon
don ! had better make arrangements to
remove myself either to northern hy-
