DISTINGUISHED MANNERS.

1t is funny To note how the social
upper four hundred try to get away
from the underhngs by the adop-
ton of new modes of doing, and
now rapidly the lower ones pursue
and initiate the few above ones. To
day Matilda Ann, the lal o er 5 daugh-
ter, ca with her fork like adu-
chess and is Mortified if her vulgar
brother uses his knife to shovel his
food INTO his mouth. Originally We
or our ancestors plunged their
hands into the common mess on the
grass. Then the chef and his fam
lily used only the left band. Later
rs their custom became common the
more select used the thumb and
fore-fnger. This becoming too
Common, stick was used by the
more ia hiOnable.
Later at tables IA knife and two
pronged fork were introduced, the
knife used as Bnlgarians did in the
last century. Some seventy years
ago the most aristocratic got ahead
of us by adopting the three pronged
fork and condemn NJ the knife al
together. We have now caught up
With our best society in that, and

past and crowns the future with a nalo
of golden, CHEEKY promises Out from
the shadows come the festive times
when Santa Claus was a verify, with
his fat paunch and great, rosy checks;
when, GU awaking, stockings filed to
bursting greeted the eye, and at even
tide the flashing Christmas tree fairly
laughed its satisfaction at the Joyous
/ gladness it was diffusing all around
| Day of the children! An infantine
laugh is the divinest of songs in the
ear of the Christ. who was once help
less babe, His only shelter mothers
loving breast The Man-Christ took little
ones in His arms and blessed them, de-
claring that all must be as they in
trust and innocence, if they would be
heirs to His everlasting kingdom.
Day OF home-bringing and home
gathering, when the loved ones meet
and unselfishly live in the pleasure
each Of the other. Tender affection
banishes self and man lives in touch
with his fellow, glorifed of the divine
benediction of love. He is nearest to
divinity who gets farthest from self,
and the gifts of Christmas-tide are so
VI esteem
for the recipients. A time is this when
care rolls away like a scroll in the fire,
and mirth and good will become the
all-pervading genii of the household.
Love and JOY cross the threshold and
kiss one another, as they pronounce a
blessing upon all beneath the roof
Peace covers the dear ones as a man
tie, and gladneSs SO aboundS that it is
the day of all days throughout the
metes and bounds of Christendom.
Christmas of sleigh-bells and crystal
snow, Christmas of warmth and flow
ers, for the Christ-day girdles the
earth and embraces all climates and
all nations, and everywhere, thank
God! it is day Of festive joy and hap
piness-a fitting commemoration of the
fulfillment of the promise made by the
herald Of God in the glowing words
Il bring you glad tidings of great joy,
which shall be unto all people,"
1t Is peculiarly the Christ day, time
when the beauty of His self -abnegating
life Is reflected in sublime majesty.
Never a selfish shadow obscured His
path; His the grandest. of all epitaphs;
He lived and He died that others might
live forever. A man without a home,
He has gladdened and frightened mil
lions OF homes. He was a man of sor-
rows, acquainted with grief, yet from
His presence an ocean of consolation
has spread out and covered the earth
with its waters of healing. His last
prayer was an intercession for His enc
mics, and His last sigh breath of con-
fdence in God.
The glory song Of the herald angels,
sung at the first Christmas, that paean
of praise to God and pledge Of peace to
man, shall never die. The grandest of
all carols, dearest of all angel hymns,
time has destroyed none of its sweet
ness and has preserved all of it's prom
Use. Peace and amity dwell where the
spirit of Jesus prevails, and each Christ
day is benson indeed to those who
see His face through the clouds and the
mists of mortality.
Christmas, the home day, the Christ
day! May its lessons and it's blessings
gladden. all hearts and make truth Of
the common salutation: "a Merry
Christmas be upon you"

William Potter ex-United States Min
lister to Italy; Mrs. Potter and David
Dudley Field were among the passen-
gers on the Hamburg American liner
Columbia, which arrived late last night
from Genoa and locked early this morn
ing in Hoboken. Nr. and Mrs. Potter,
after leaving the Columbia, boarded an
early train for Philadelphia.
II. V. Potter, the eX-Minister's brother,
met the Columbia at Quarantine last
night. with the intention of bringing the
eX- Minister to New York in the revenue
cutter Hudson, which was placed for
that purpose at the disposal Of the Pot
tiers by the Custom-House authorities.
Owing 10 the heavy weather, Mr.. Pot
ter decided not to board the Hudson, and
he remained for the night on the Column
bia.
DR.. H. A. Benedict. William Volckers
and Director Goertz, of the Hamburg
American Company. came over also In
the Columbia. The Columbia was seven
hours behind time. owing to heavy head

ASKS CONSENT TO BOIL FATS.
DIR. Roberts Fears the Privilege
Would Result In u Nuisance.

The United Dressed Beef Company. of
Forty-fourth street and East River, has
asked permission from the Board OF
Health to boil fats In its factory The
application appears to he very
simple request on its face, but II the
privilege Is granted 1t Is feared 1t may
result In the development of u great null
sanCe.
The Company proposes. should the ap-
plication be granted. to boil about one
million pounds of tallow per week, which
Is to be collected from the various retail
markets throughout the city.
Sanitary Supt. DIR. Roberts, at the
meeting of the Board Of Health yester-
day, which was called especially to
give hearing in the matter, refused to
approve of the application on the ground
that II was not sufficiently explicit. and
because he suspected that the boiling
Of the fat might greatly interfere with
the comfort of the neighborhood.
The residents of the neighborhood
know nothing of the intentions of the
Company regarding the matter, but
when Informed 1t is believed they will
enter protest with the Board OF
Health against granting the application
one OF the principal reasons for fear
ing that a nuisance would result from
the application Is that many carts would
be required to collect the fat. and these
would have to be driven through the
streets
