AS a great many Americans doubt,
if. indeed, they do not scout, the al
legged benefits conferred upon them and
their country either by the Declaration
of Independence or General Washing
ton, and have consequently lost their
old time regard for the 4th of July and
the 22d of February, and as few, except
New Enplanders, ever observed Thanks
giving Day, the only real, sincere and
generally enjoyable holiday OF the year
il Christmas-that of our European an
cestors. This is particularly true OF
the South and especially 80 of Virgins.
1t is time, therefore, when the cares
and troubles and griets naturally Incl
dent to mortal man may, and should,
be put behind W., temporarily at least
so that joy may be uncon6ned and kind
feeling may prevail, not only In the
family reunions but toward everybody,
and so that, for the season all, old as
well as young, may sing, with youthful
and heartfelt spirit, "Let the world wae
as it will, WE'LL be gay and happy sti l."

Theatrical.

"a Breezy Time which has
been a laughing success for the
past seasons, and in which the
managers, Fitz and Webster, have
achieved fame and fortune, viii be
here again Friday night.
"A Breezy Time" is a musical
farce comedy creation with an
abundance Of fun and a paucity Of
serious interest. In other words.
its purpose Is to divert rather than
to engross the attention. It be-
lieves the general opinion that a
farce comedy cannot have a coher-
ent plot. In point Of fact, it has a
scheme Of interest that runs
throughout the entire play and
makes a very good rack upon
which to hang a series Of speciality
performances of high order and
enjoyable nature.
This musical comedy fairly scin-
tillates with mirth and merriment
has the sweetest songs, jolliest
jokes, and happiest hits. The
novelties introduced include th,
three legged sailor, lawn tent
b quintette, frolic of frogs, the rooste
dance, and grand cake walk b,
; the entire company.
