Thfl coming IDud going out of A few more days antf Christmas will be here. All the llttM enes are now looking forI ward anT*ously for the holidays, when they expect good old Saata Claos will come round laden with books, candies aiM toys for them. This superstition ©f the children, festered and kept allye from one generation to another, is one -1 thing that makes the holidays so pleasant. We love to see boys and girls have implicit faith in that mythical', ., good natured old gentleman, popularly known as Santa Clans. The delu5 slon is a pleasant one, and it will last only a few years, but it will leave in their minds kindly recollections of this period of their lives. Let them, then extract all the comfort they can f5 now from the. harmless superstition.

Other children have believed in, and been made happy by it for centuries pint. May it be io for $enturies to come. It becomes important in this connection to see if the tradesmen ol the Prairie City have been as enterprising as usual. A hanty run about town yosterday assures us that Jolly old Santa Claus will have ample stores from which to draw bis supplies. Dropping in

AT T. H, H'DDLK'S

the display in hits cases assured us that there was ut le.stone good place to select holiday gilts. Jewelry and watches arc always classed among the yery drat of holiday presents* The earliest history, sacred or profane, tells us of no time when ornaments were not worn. It is presumed by the best authority, that Eve had a gold pin with which she fastened her apron ot fig leaves, and therefore there can be ne Wonder at the rage for Jewelry. Riddle first showed us a |200 ring with opal setting, diamonds on each side, the opal guarrantood to have been once one of Santa Anna'* Jewels another cluster diamond ring at tjie same price, and rings graded in value down (0 the cheapest charm-lockets, in new and handsome designs, opera glasses, and an endless variety of silverware, castors, cake baskets, castor and fruitbasket, combined, card receivers, vases, tea setts, sleeve buttons, studs, sets, fine clocks, gold and silver watches, opera chains, some '•very massive, bracelets, solid silver spoons, napkin rings, gold headed and "ivory canes, otc. Certainly all tastes could be salted from this list. Mr. Riddle has recently secured a splondid en^ggravor especially to do work for the "holidays. On the other side of the house wo found embroidery work, fino handkerchiefs, slipper patterns, and hundreds of smaller articles nil useful as well aa appropriate. 4„,

TDK STRAKOSOH COXCERT. .V* A press o! other duties prevents an extended and deserving notice of the Strnkofech Concert last nijght. Indeed almost every person in the city, at all Interested In mnslcal matters, was there to enjoy the ringing, bell-like notes of imperial Patti the sweet Carj", beautiful in her simplicity, singing gloriously because it is natural for her to do so Mario, in whom age has impaired a once noble voice, while the genius of his soul still lives Carreno, who goes at her piano like a school girl in a passion, with a pettish, vehement, sirocco-llke mode, which both startles and pleases by its very novelty Sauret, the young and enthusiastic violinist, who wields his bow with such exquisite touch and passionate fervor as to surpass in some respectsOle Bull Scholars with his good voice and laughter so contagious, and the final close of the most magnificent quartette ever executed in the Opera H0use--tbere, that's along drawn sentence, but it briefly records the bright, brilliant and beautiful memories which link themselves with the Patti-Marlo concert, and we devoutly wish and sigh for more of .this dazzling and imperial music. .1

THE teachers and pupils of the public schools mourn the death of two pupils and classmates. Albert Yeakle, a very promising boy, attending the High School, died of consumption, on Saturday evening. The pupils of the High School attended his funeral in a body, and the school room was draped in mourning-. Miss Sarsh Van Brunt, daughter of the Chief Fire Engineer, a pupil In No. 8, First Ward school, died on Tuesday morning, after an illness of only a week, of congestion of the 1 rings. For several years the children in this building have gone to and from their rooms at the tap of a drum, and recently at the stroko of a bell. Miss Van Brunt used these instruments, and lor this reason her pleasant face was familiar to all the children, who now miss her from ber accustomad post. As a token of their deep affliction her desk was draped In mourning and the bell muffled. i.' 1 r-

TUB County Commissioners Oourt was not in seaslon this morning, and no change has been made by the Board from their first day's proceedings.

Mr. Vrydagb.the architect, gets five per cent, on the cost, so heavon only knows what load of debt will be pUed upon tax-ridden people. ""1,1

Tom Gist was first to Introduce oxen, the "gee" and "haw" manner of directing the steeds was new to him. He could not tell the "gee" side from the haw." To guard sgainst mistakes he procured along piece of paste-board, and bad "gee" marked on one end and haw" on the other. With this placed across his lap he drove to the depot in safety. While there, however, some bad boys stole his pasteboard "00mpass" and it wss with great difficulty that he got back down' town.

We learn from the Express that 0# en Tulier and Tom Gist have arranged for an ox race. Tnller enters brihdle ox "Buck," and Gist names red steer

No case has resulted fatally The nightmare is not affected by the epidemic.

Dick Blake's herse was probably the worst ease and it is recovering. The precautions of blanketing work horses, giving them rest, and the introduction of a few yoke of oxen.on the streets has-given an appearance of epidemic such as does not exist.

Horses that have not run for. years and can't be made to run in any satis* factory way, now ran freely at the nose, and the amount ol hacking among the hack horses, and coughing among the hearse horses is something without precedent.
