One com ing down Nineteenth street, south, could not see the chimes, and the sound apparently coming from some where above, at first near then far away was somewhat startling. The balcony is in a bower of Christmas greenery, and throughout the Blach store the Christmas carol idea pre- vails. The spirit of Christmas is upon one, as soon as the varicolored lights on the citys posts are seen. It grows upon one when the chimes are heard.
 The idea of chimes for playing Christmas carols Is new. J. F. Burall. Blach's ad man, had to import the in struments from Indiana, and he found much difficulty in locating a man in Birmingham who could play them. The people of Birmingham are listening to them, however, as was evidenced in the crowds watching the musician yes- terday afternoon and last night
