request, Secretary Hay holds that the
joint high commissions of the United

just all international complications on
the great lakes, were instructed to OBJ
tain from Great Britain the admission
that the convention does not prevent
the construction of certain class Of

shipyards of lake ports have special
facilities. This joint high commission,
he added, had made satisfactory prog

AUGUSTUS CHRISTMAS.
GENERALLY and Quietly Observed by the People
Of the City.

Christmas, in Augusta, was observed
in about the usual manner. by feast
ing, recreation, and the exchange of
courtesies appropriate to the day. OF
course, the Younger generations viewed
everything through the -colored
glasses of childhood, Of which we of
older growth know naught except in
memory, and which firmly impress in
the minds of the youngsters thesbelief
that Christmas day is by far the
greatest of the whole 365, and enjoyed
themselves accordingly.
1t Is doubtful if there was ever a
happier Christmas, or one which was
more generally observed. During the
entire week proceeding Christmas
there was a brisk trade on the street,
and dealers in holiday goods say that
they never had such a Christmas trade
before. 1t goes without saying that
they were happy, for this reason if for
no other, and then, when it is con-
sidered that every one of the thous-
ands of presents bought were the
means of making some one happy,
there is but one conclusion to be
drawn.
Out of doors, the day was not all
that could be desired, as there was but
little chance for indulgence in the
Christmas sleighride. and the weather,
though mild, was threatening. Places
of business on Water street were open
during the forenoon, but after noon
that thOroughfare wore n very Sab
bath-like appearance. Many people
found diversion in the afternoon and
evening, by attending the presenta-
tons of the comic opera, prince Pro
Tenn" at the Opera house. There We're
Christmas services at St. Augustine's
and st. Mary's Catholic churches, and
at st. Marks Episcopal church, and a
Christmas tree for the children of the
latter parish, at Waverly hall.
