Tho Day In Richmond.

The following extract from the "Diary
OF q Refugee" describing a Christmas
In Richmond In 1894, portra-s graphically
the meayer provision for Christmas fes'
tivitles II was possible to make In tho
capital Of the C0nfederacy:

much sadness on account of tho failure
of the South to keep Sherman back.
"When we got home our family circle
was small but pleasant. We had aspircd
to q turkey, but finding the prices range
from $50 to 500 In the market on Sat.
urday we contented ourselves with roast
beef, and the various little dishes which
Confederate times made us believe are
tOlerable substitutes for the viands of bet
ter days.
AT night I treated our little party to
tea and ginger cakes, two very rare In
dulgences, and but for the sorghum
grown In our own fields the cakes would
have been an impossible indulgence.
Nothing but the fact that Christmas
comes but once year would make such
extravaganza ut all eXcusable.
poor fellows, how they enjoy our plain
dinners when they come. Two meals a
day has become the rule among refugees
and many cit. iens from dire necessity
The want Of our accustomed tea and
coffee Is very much felt by the leaders
The rule with us Is only to have tea when
sickness makes 1t necessary. A country
lady from one of the few spots In Vir
ginia where the enemy has never been
and where they retain their comforts
asked me gravely why We did not sub
stitute milk for tea. She could hardly
believe me when told her that we had
not had milk more than twice In eighteen
months, and then It was sent by country
friend. 1t Is now - a quart"

Shoe or Stocking.

Some little French Canadian children
were discussing very important matter
with some of their Yankee neighbOrs
from ''Over the line."
The French children are In the habit
Of putting their shoes on the hearth in
stead of hanging up their stockings, on
the night before Christmas, and the little
Vermonters naturally thought this a
strange custom.

girls. "shoes are great deal nicer than
