San Franeiaco, Dec. 22.—Owing to the severe stricture ot the Victoria press, on the loss of the Pacific Goodall Nelson fc Perkins announce their intention of withdrawing their ships from the line. Assemblyman Pullen, of San Francisco, formerly an employee of the G. N. A P.- Corudany, has introduced a resolutions, asking appointment of Legislative Committee to devise means to prevent in future similar disasters to loss. Pacific supported a resignation in Bpeech referring to loss on coast in past years of ten steamers and 1,500 lives, and vigorously denounced the system whioh permittedships to go to sea io an UBiS^HTcondition, and illy provided with means~forsaving life, and -with an unreliable and undistiplined crew, largely composed of Chinees.

The resolution and speeoh caused tquch comment in nautical cirolss. A report from San Diego says all is quiet along the line.

WE call the especial attention of our readers to our department of holiday announcements. At the head of the department will be found each day an interesting article on the Christmas festivities of the past and present. On Friday we will present to the notice of our readers an original Cliristmaa carrol in rhyme, with local hits, written by a' young gentleman of this city. -tr* r*t

EACH day brings us nearer to the glad season of the holidays. Continuing our usual plan, we give something new again to-day for this column. In an excellent treatise on the subject we find the following on Christmas charities

We have already, in commenting on Christmas day and its observances, remarked on the hallowed feelings of affection and good will which are generally called forth at the celebration of this anniversary. Quarrels are composed and forgotten, old friendships aie renewed and confirmed, and a universal spirit of charity and forgiveness evoked. Nor is this charity merely confined to acts of kindness and generosity among equals, the poor and destitute experience the bounty of their richer neighbors, and are enabled like them, to enjoy themselves at the Christmas season. From the Queen downw ards, all classes of society contribute their mites to relieve the necessities and increase the comforts of the poor, both as regards food and rai. rnent. Even in the work houses—those abodes of short-commons and little ease—the authorities, for once in the year, become liberal in their housekeeping and treat the' inmates on Christmas day to a substantial dinncr of roast beef and pltim pudding. It is quite enlivening to read the account in the daily papers a morning or two afterwards of the fare with which the inhabitants of tho various work-houses in London and elsewhere were regaled on Christmas day, a detailed chronicle being furnished both of the quality of the treat and the quantity supplied to each individual. Beggars, too, have a claim on our charities at this season, maugre all maxims of political economy, and must not be turned from our doors unrelieved. They may at least have their dole of broad and meat, and to whatever bad uses they may possibly turn our bounty, it is not probable that the dejrfi will ever be entered to our discredit in the-., books 7 of .the Re cording angel. Apropos of these sentiments, we Introduoe the following monitory lines by a well-known

SCATTER TOUR CROMB3.

Amidst the freezing sloet and snow The timid robin comes In pity drive him not away,

But scatter out your crumbs, And leave your door upon the latch, For whosoever comeB, The poorer they more welcome give,

And scatter out your crumbs.

Soon winter falls upon your life, The day of reckoning comes Against your sins, by high decree,

Are weighed those scattered crumbs

In olden times it was customary to extend the charities of Christmas and New Years to the lower animals. Burns refers to this practice in "The Auld Farmer's Address to his Mare,'» when presenting her on New Year's with an extra feed of corn: "A gnid New Year, I wish thee, Magfr|£* Hae, there's a ripp to thy aule baggie."

The patrons of W. S. Grant, are to be particularly favored on Christmas day. On that occasion Mr. Grant will present each of his callers, (Iree of charge) a glass of delicious egg nog. Grants fame and that of his popular assistant, Mr. Judd Hall, are widespread. The beverages compounded by them are of the highest erder. The billiard tables in this establishment are of the standard quality, with Phejan fc. Collander's famous cushion!. A pleasant feature of Mr. Grant's establishment is a free reading room for the use of his customers.

Music, refines, Educates, and cultivates. 'Twas its giighty power which gave Apollo his stgepter,. and clad with irresistible charni .the voice of the siren. It ushered the world into existence, and 'tis its Vweet harmony rendered harsh and clarion from the dread occasion, whioh wUl announce the end of this world and the earning second advent. It is the chiefest pleasure of care-laden mortals,.and is fabled to be the never-failing joyof celestials. It appears to the senses only, and is hence' sensnal, but it.'haa a subtle poweijj which can both subdue and arouse, (c can stay the bloody hand of murderous execution or fire with valor a ter-ror-stricken soldier. It is always on the side of right, the bettor side, of a man's nature. The inate joy in it in youth should bo cultivated. This Godgiven taste should not b? stunted. No pleasure is really so cheap, and the facilities for procuring instruments for its production are yearly being made more nearly withiir the reach of all. If a piano is too-expensive, get an organ.'1 Kussner hai'ail styles and grades! You can certainly be pleased with his large^grand twelye^stop Burdett, or if this costs more thite you-can affordi the silver-toned ilfeedham will Certainly tsuit^ yoiw pocfokiKussner also has a delightful little instrument, the Taylor & Farley organ, which gives superb music. If your child is too young to learn, and children rarely are, get some other simple musical instrument. "Kussner's Palace" is full from cellar to garret, with everything

yon want. A deep, sin

cere love for harmony cultivated in a child you will never regret, even though he or she has no great talent The reputation of the piano sold principally by Kussner, the Knabe, is world-wide* as seen from an item in an eastern paper, stating that Knabe had lately sold four of his instruments in Europe. This is quite a point for American manufacturers. Everybody knows where Kussner is Ohio street, south side, between Second and Third streets.

JEWELS AND ORNAMENTS

of gold and silver have always been accounted the most appropriate pres ents which could be offered on the natal day of Christ. When the Nazarene, who is raverenced as the Savior of the world, lay a helpless infant in the manger, the wise men of the East offered coBtly presents oi jewels at his feet. The custom takes its date from this although much earlier such tokens of affection were constantly bestowed. Pure, sparkling, rare, they are fit emblems of true love and fit insignia of rank to the wearer. The season again approaches when such things must be bought and Riddle is prepared for it. He led the holiday trade in jewelry last year and proposes to do it again this. He has some particularly desir able coral sets and fine, gold necklaces. %s3 i't*-1

IF IT IS RIGHT,. I

(and it unquestionably is,) for people to cultivate their minds and tempers, so as to be morally beautiful, and loveable, why is it not right and prop* er for them to adorn their bodies, and render their exterior as handsome as possible? It is all nonsense about these little artifices for rendering people good looking being wicked. Mr». Messmore's establishment on Main, next to Straus' is full of beautiful ladies goods, hair switches and ornaments of every kind Mrs. Messmore is long and favorably known, and she will be patronized.

the goods are entirely new, the prices all marked on the goods and the dls play is very fine. Step in and make |a selection that will make the children happy. You will find here everything cheap as the cheapest. SMITHERS WANTS HIS OYSTERS FRIED, Jones prefers his in a stew, Smith says he would not give a pinch of snuff lor a bushel of oysters done up in either style. He declares that the only way to cook oysters for a man of refined taste, is, not to cook them at all. He says the unnatural heat of the fire takes every particle of swestness out of the bivalve, and renders it positively unfit to eat. He takes his oysters raw.

Bat it matters not how you want your oysters cooked. E. W. Johnson will supply you with the very beat brands in tho market. He sells the calebrated New York Saddle,Rock oysters by the keg, and better oysters cannt be found in the country,

A MORE SUBSTANTIAL PRESENT than a good pair of shoes or boots, we cannot think of. Fathers and mothers who wish to make presents to their children will do well to consider the fact that a present of this kind will be of more use to the average boy or girl, than a thousand fol-de-rolsor gewgans. Go ye, therefore, to J. S. Jordon, and select from his elegant and complete stock, some substantial covering for the pedal extremities, a tribute of the heart to the feet as it were.

OP ALL APPEALS, I

although I grant the power of pathos and of gold,of beauty,flattery, threatsshilling—no ^methods' more sure at moments to take hold of the best feelings of mankind, which grow more tender, as we every day behold—Than that all softening overpowering knell— The tocsin of the soul-the dinner bell! There is no use questioning it. Christmas is nothing without its richly laden dinner tables. Tho joy, the good feeling, the happy, hearty glow of fellowship, all is as nought, if good eating does not accompany it. Let everybody, therefore, while buying presents not foget to visit Rippetoe and lay in such a stock of 3 oodles as he alone keeps. His. maple syrup, apple cider, celery and other innumerable good things cannot fail to render the clad|aeason such if nothing else accompany it.

COMMERCIAL COLLEGE. VJ

A good sound business education' is one of those things' that can hot, be ^knocked out of a man's head by any kind of adversity. Accomplishments may detoriate, glitter may turn to dross and beauty of character be dragged into the mire of the world's scorn and contempt, but a thorough, practical business knowledge once acquired, as is acquired by all those whoj graduate at Garvin fc Heinly's Commercial College, corner of Sixth and Main, win linger} with a man all the years of his life. It is as enduring as ^principle, as lasting as truth itself, for it is founded upon correct principles. And so if you want to present your son or nephew, oousin, noico or daughter with tha? that enables such an one to secure that priceless boon, go there and secure a scholarship in this superior school, and let it lie under the plate at the Christmas or New Year's breakfast table.

BONTIN I ARMSTRONG.

When you start out to look for something real pretty and uselul, at the same time reasonable in price, for Christmas presents for "the loved ones at home," or the "absent friend," don't ail-to call at Buntin A Armstrong's,for you will be hard to please if you do not find there just the thing looked for. They have beautiful artcles in Genuine Russia Leather, Turkey Morrocco, Pearl and Tortois Shell,Gilt and Bronze French Cut Glass, etc., etc., for teo numerous for us to remember or enumerate. Anyway, they make a very attractive display, and you will enjoy looking, even if you do not purchase.

R. GAGO

has the most complete stock of pictures and frames in Terre Haute. There you may find pictures ranging in price from one cent to one hundred dollars, oil paintings, cbromos, steel engravings, lithographs, photographs, wood engravings and colored prints.

Mr. Gagg also keeps a most complete stock of drawing utensils, and -artist's materials. You cannot make a more useful present to your children than a set of drawing pencils or crayons.

LET THERE BE LIGHT

upon the Christmas festivities, otherwise they will be extremely flat, stale, and unprc fit able. Go ye, therefore unto Theodore Stahl and make your wants known to him, and he will give you light. That is, he will sellyou the finest lamps to be found in the city, and with proper treatment they will furnish the light. Mr. Stahl has also a very^flne stock of queensware, china, eto. In making up your Christmas list don't forget Stahl.

The winter is upon us, the season for sleighing and skating. It is probable that before the hollidays are past these sports will be at their height. Now sleighing witl^put bells is no sport at al.' no more than skating without skates. The place to purchase both articles is at tke establishment of L. M.

Nothing can be more eujoyable at Christmas time than appropriate music, and what music can be more appropriate than the divine sonitas of Beethooven. These can be proQured in the form of sheet music, at Paige's music store, Main Street, near Sixth. Paige has all the popular Bheet music and music books of the day at his establishment, where can be found a most complete assortment to select from. He also keeps nil manner of musical instruments, and all articles required by a musician.

BANKRUPT CLOTHIERS.

The Scriptural injunction of "taKe no heed for the morrow what ye shall eat or what ye shall wear," would not work well in these latter days. In fact it never was intended to be taken literally. People nowadays must labor in order to provide for themselves. Under such circumstances they can not fail to be grateful to the bankrupt clothing men who are holding forth where the old 49 cent store used to be, for reducing prices as tbey have. Warm clothing is an indispensable necessary to comfort in cold weather. No more appropriate present can be made and no place in town can sell at cheaper rates than these great bankrupts Main street, north side, between Sixth and Seventh.

If you want to make me a Christmas present, just you go down to Alexander & Sibley's and get abont a half a bushel of those splendid shell oysters, and let's have some steamed oysters, or oysters on the half shell, or something of that sort for a Christmas dinner." John gave his wife good advice in this instance Alexander B'bley have all sorts of oysters, canned, bulk or shell, and they sell them at the very
