The streets of the city arc thronged with shopkeepers, and the thoroughfares in front of the gret stores in Broadway, Sixth Avenue, Eighth Avenue, Four teenth Street, Twenty-third Street and Grand Street, are fairly blocked with males and federates; young and old, rich and poor. And yet the propriet6fS of nearly all the stores cotnpraitt of bad business. The crowds rush in, look on and go away, and this is the same story everywhere. A fair busitiess is being done in the toy and doll departments, but outside of these the income scarcely 'covers expenses. The other afternoon I had to accompany a lady to an immense establishment in Fourteenth Street. We wefe nearly half an hour at one stand, the Tacfy oi cotwe taking the usual fe male allowance of tirrte tcf make her se teclltm. During ibat half hoar the girl thai wailed upon xis was- asked fully one litlildred questions by people passing by, and not one of these questions led to a purchase of even the veriest trifle. The anxiety of the owners and managers, 'and the fatigue and strain on the em- ployees m these stores is really enor- mous. lue latter nave oeen requirea td work from fourteen to fifteen hours hotfftt ll days dtiring the past week, and the result of the hoi stifling air and rest less worry is telling on the girls. Poor things they have seemingly not spirit 'enough left in them to insist on their title of 44 salesladies, " but are content to MM . . 1 remain plain saleswomen. The cause of this dullness may be traced back directly to the tightness of the money market, and to the sharp de cline of some of the leading securities 'on the Stock Exchange. Wall Street is the pulse of metropolitan life. When it makes money, everybody seems pros perous, when it loses everybody is short The bears are having things pretty generany weir own way, out a ieenng ii 1 . t. i of hopefulness if manifesting itself on VIia bull RA( flf tfl sfrPAf. ntlA afi-ar ihn -" first of January settling has been gone through with affairs will again have an Upward tendency. The other evening I listened to Barnes the 14 Mountain Evangelist," as he de jignts to near uimseii caned, tne iree l"ti. a 1 ! il l .1 m lance preacher who convulsed Kentucky in the Spring. He preached or rather harangued to a small audience of curios ity Beckers at Clarendon Hall. His tone and manner struck me as offensive in the extreme. The familiar manner in which he handles things which we be lieve sacred was akin to blasphemy, and the spirit of braggadocio in which he speaks of his dWtt labors is calculated to repulse, Compared with him the ora- tors of the Salvation Army are mild and Veserved. I had a short conversation with him afterwards and was more than 'ever disgusted with him. If I tell you hat he talks, acts and for, that matter looks like an advance agent of a circus, I think you will understand the impres- Vrfon he iriatre A very offensive part 'Of His 'conversation was the constant re- Iteration of the charge that the ministers ;of the regular churches were jealous of him and tried to thwart him. His pres- fence interferes with the regular oiserva- tion of religious duties no more than 'the baying of a dog stops the course of "the moon. Barnes says that he will 'stay in New York 14 as long as the Lord provides. " As the collections lie takes up are barely sufficient td pay the rent 'of the "hall, his nojourn in XJotham will te off XhoYt duration.

The Captain left about mid night,' but the others 'remained much lader. When the party finally broke up all were more or less hilarious, and as the morriiifg was bright and crisp, five of the merrymakers decided to walk home, . The leader of these was a mem ber of a prominent shipping firm, and one of the slurring "lights of the New Yoik Yacht Club. Previotis to the re cent elections his name was pushed by a very powerful body ! for one of the chief officers in the city's gifts. To be guile the tedium of walking they amused themselves by upsetting ash-barrels, ci gar store Indians, and other high art or naments of the streets, j When a Police ma'ri endeavored to make them behave themselves, they made sport of him, and desired to know whether his mother was aware that he was out, and whether he tried to emulate the morning in fresh ness. The officer arrested the whole party. " Capital 1" exclaimed the lead er of the band. " Let's go with him. Its only a lark. What a face Williams will make when he sees us marching in to pay him a morning call. Of course he' 11 ask us to step into his room, and smoke a cigar with him and then send us bomel" . Full of bright anticipations the part proceeded to Twenty-ninth Precinct Station House, A particularly grufi Sergeant was at the desk.- . ' What's the charge ?'' he asked, " Disorderly con duct," was the reply. ' That's all right old fellow," laughinglv burst in Mr. X 44 where's the captain." "You've got nothing to do with the captain; He is engaged. Name and occupation V " But I'm a friend of Captain Williams' why you go must know me, I'm Mr. " " don't care who you are. You and your friends go below." " But " " no but's now, move on." The door man rattled his keys, the fron gate lead ing to the prison swung open when the captain appeared. 44 J ust in time?, Aleck, to rut an end to the joke this fellow of vours js playing on us," explained Mr. x. " fciry rppuea v imams, my name is Captain Williams, and this fello-v is the Sergeant in ch.-irge, hurry up and get into your cells, otherwise I'll make a charge of resisting an officer against you.- liie uiantc amazement on ttie faces Or the" rmrty was indescribable Seeing that Williams meant business, 7 1 they retired without much ado to th dreary and cold cells. A messenger was 0f COUrse procured, and an acommodat ing police justice came down, opened court and discharged the party. Tlit story however leaked out ana causes much amusement in the clubs. The virtuous spoil which District At toroey McKeon forced on New York for a feW y,ee before election is over, and now Gotham is as wicked as she ever Last Saturday all of the i i i . gamming nouses rtopnect, ana are 44 running almost night and day to a vast patronage. The roulette wheel whirrs and the chips click a fandango of wild excitement, which to the philos ophical looker on makes it a seven day's wonder, when he thinks of the bitter fiirht made by Mi4. McKeon against the fraternity, and hi manifesto' that he was going to root them out of New York and vicinity. But, I suppose they cannot be stopped. It is hard enough to put an end to gambling in the inland towns, but in a city like this where the floating population equals in numbers the resident inhabitants, games of chance will be indulged in if not pul- uc)y certainly privately. Mrs. General Hancock has composed a Te Deum which is to be. sung in the chapel on Governor's Island on Christ mas morning. Those who have heard it say that the work shows much depth 0f feeling, skiU in composition and beau- ty of . conception. It will probably be rendered later on at one of the many noncerts durin?? the holiday in Brook- lyn, organized by amateurs for the benefit of the poor. The Christmas musical programmes nf the various chun-hPs! sbow numb skill of arrangement I notice a tendency to return to sacred music pure and sim ple, which is a faithful departure from the inroads into the operatic field which the organists of a number of fashionable churches were so fond of making a few seasons ago.

We attended the celebration Christ mas Evening in Portland at the Con gregational Church. There was excel lent music and speeches by children of the Sabbath School which displayed rare cultivation of elocutionary powers. The reindeers and sleigh big as life 44 and twict as natral:' were as fine as anything we ever saw. The illusion of falling snow was perfect, arrdf the bags of pop corn and sweetmeats distributed by San ta Olaus. a splerfdid personation,- were received with the greatest hilarity, by the young recipients amid thfc smiles of the older spectators. Mr. W. D. Palmer jrot tickets for us when iu Portland and secured us good seats at the Theatre. Mr. Palmer is a stirring man, and makes the Telegram a live paper and hard to beat in a city where newspaper publishing is a mania. Uncle Tom's Cabin .was played,- but the part of little Eva by a mere child was best sustained, though Topsy and Miss Ophelia were good and the lawyer's part was the most amusing of all.

They stopped from Christmas till New lears. They were all in excellent health, and the meeting between the mother and children parted for many years was a very happy one. Mrs. Nealley has no chiltlren by her second husband. We met many friends while in Port land, Norman McKay, Stephen Haines, Mr. Nelson and W. W. West, Mr. Fisk of Clatskanie, also formed the acquaint ance of J. R. Smith, an old railroad man. We met Mr. Phil Corkin, Conductor on East side R. from Portland to Rose burg. We found him and Mr. Smith whole-souled genial gentlemen. !? . Mrs. J. L. Searle is indeed one of those of whom a nation should be proud. She is the widow of a soldier who fought through the Rebellion. She had a son drowned in Banks' Expedition on the Red River, and a son-in-law starved to Death in Libby Prison. She is indeed like some old Roman matron in Rome's palmiest days. We have received the Northwest News. It is a dashing paper, and comes into the newspaper ring with a whoop and a yell.
