CHRlStMAS EVERGREENS.
How to Make Home Bright and
Beautiful.
Talking of Christmas, we must not
forget the home trimmings soon to be
worn.JJFoitunately, the old fashionj of
the evergreens becomes newer every year.
In the fresh growth whose roots strike
eighteen centuries deep the flowerless
plants take up a sudden bloom; their stiff
and rugged forms become beautiful with
household grace. What wonder, as each
Christmas draws near, we hasten to
brighten our homes with their branches?
The trimmings need not be elaborate or
shoAvy. A few little sprays may suffice
any thhi to make a writinon the wall
IhaCtJVery one, from grandpa to the baby,
may read. - -
If wreaths and festoons are required,
lost strings of twine may be deftly covered
with arbor-vitjii sprigs, and swung from
point j.o point, or wound about some else
bare column; or better still, the trailing
evergreen, popularly known as Ger
man ivy, may be used. It is iound in
many localities, but most abundant, we
believe, in the Orange Mountains. If one
cannot turn mountaineer for its own sake,
it may be purchased in almost any street
or market place as the blessed day draws
near. Hemlock, pine, spruce and laurel
boughs, all are beautiful a cluster here, a
festoon there, and perhaps a few green
sprays tenderly encircling the picture of
one whoso memory draws the living closer
together.
Sometimes a Christmas motto may be
needed over archway or entrance, or in
grandmama's warm corner where the big
chair stands Jt is easily made by cut
ting the required letters out of stiff paper,
and lightly sewing on bits of Arbor Vitae,
taking care that the letter's edge be not
too sharply defined. Another way of
covering the forms is to glue moss upon
them ; and still another though it is trai
torous to suggest it, is to paint the paper
letters with glue and immediately sprin
kle on a quantity of fine evergreen clip
pings scarcely larger than rose thorns;
Then there s the Christmas tree. Never
omit that. Let it be large or small, richly
lighted and laden, or only daintly pricked
'off with candles, candies and follies but
a Christmas tree let there be. Hemlock,
cedar spruce and pine are suited to the
purpose, but prettier and farmer than all
is the species known as the white pine
so rich a green, and withal so light and
feathery that, lit with its hundred tapers,
it looks like a Christmas fountain covered
with sparkles of sunlight.
Is it more stylish to have Christmas
trees for the children than to let the little
creatures hang up their stockings as their
great-grandmothers did? No, no. We all
do as we please in the matter. The high
fashion authorities are silent here ; you
must lay your ear against tho great warm
heart of Christmas and listen.
Arrested.
Officer Woebse, of the night' police
force, was called on last night about 11
o'clock to make the arrest of a sailor by
tho name of Carl Gustave Andersen, who
was creating a disturbance on South
Water street, but was prevented from
doing so by the interference of another
sailor by the name of Joseph Uarlsen,.
which enabled Andersen to make good
his escape for the time. Tho policeman
then turned his attention to : uarlsen and
succeeded in conveying him safely to the
guard house. Ihis morning Mayor
Dawson issued a warrant for the arrest
of Andersen, who belongs on board of
the Nor. barque Equator. The warrant
was duly executed by an officer of the
police force, who found Anderson on
board of the above named vessel and car
ried him to the lock-up. The trial of
both cases will come up before the Mayor
to-morrow morning at 10 o clock.
A Sad Accident.
We regret to learn of the sad and tragic
death yesterday at Halifax of Edward
Conigland, Esq., one of the most promi
nent citizens of his section and indeed of
the State. Mr. Conigland, who was very
deaf, owned a farm a few miles south of
Halifax which he had visited during the
day and was on his way home at Halifax,
late in the afternoon, when the accident
occurred. He was walking on the railroad
track and was oh a very sharp curve just
as the up train thundered along at tnat
point. He was se?n by the engineer as
soon as he came within view and
every effort in the power of mortal
man was made to not only warn him of his
danger but to stop the tram. But the
whistles were not heard and he passed on
unconscious of the dreadful fate hovering
over him until he was struck by the train
and crushed to death.
Mr. Conigland was about 15 yeani of age
at the time of his death. He has long been
known as one of the most eminent lawyers
in the State and has filled honorablv and
acceptably more than one office in the gift
of the people. He was an honorable, up
aight man in every department of life
and his death will be deplored from one
end of the state to the other.
River Notes.
A very dense fog prevailed in the river
last night. It was so heavy some dis-
ence in the interior that you could scarce
ly see ten feet in front of you. Inconse
auence of this the steamer D. Murchison
was compelled to tie up at Whitehall
until 4 o clock this morning.
nrjp to yesterday morning the water in
the river at Fayetteville had fallen some
25 or 30 feet, but as there were then un
mistakable evidences of more rain in the
interior a farther rise is anticipated.
Less than three week off now boys.
Spoken at Sea.
The Captain of the Schr.Jitt. O Stoter,
which arrived here this morning in distress,
reports having spoken Schr. Mary A. Case
off Hatteras on the 2nd inst. from Rar
ritan, West Indies, for New York with
mainmast gone. Captain and two of the
crew badly hurt by railing of the mast.
Reducing The Police Forte.
One Sergeant and three privates were
discharged this morning from the police
force of this city. This action has been
renderedered necessary we understand on
account of the limited appropriation
made for paying off the police.
In Distress.
The Scbr James Q. Stover, Capt. Clay
from Jacksonville, Fla., on the 24th of
November with cargo of lumber, bound
for Boston, put in below yesterday in a
leaking condition and this morning was
towed up to the city. The Captain states
that directly after crossing St. John's
Bar, Fla., his vessel sprang a leak and has
been in that condition eve: since, requir
ing the constant working of the ship's
pumps to keep her afloat; besides this ac
cident the vessel encountered a gale of wind
during which she lost her deck load.
The Captain and crew are all very much
exhausted. The vessel will go on Messrs.
Cassidey & Ross' Railway for repairs.
Messers. E. G. Barker Co. , are the con
signees of thisdisabled schooner.

Journalistic.
The old weekly Wilmington Journal
will be revived by Mr. Josh T. James,
editor of the DaIly Review. Mr. James
was connected for a long time with the
Journal in its palmiest days, and we
expect to see it attain its former prestige
and usefulness under his management.
Charlotte Democrat.
The old Wilmington Journal Week
ly) is to be revived and will make its ap
pearance in the city of Wilmington on the
first Thursday in December, under the
editorial control and management of Mr.
Josh T. James, of the Wilmington
Review. Mr. James was for many years
connected with the old Journal as one
of its editors, in which position he won
the reputation that makes the Review so
conspicuously prominent in tho State as
one oi its leading journals, buccess to
the enterprise.
(Raleigh Farmer and Mechanic.)
Mr. Josh. T. James, of that capital lit
tle daily, the Wilmington Review, has
moved into the old Journal office, and
will issue the revived Journal, weekly
at $200 per annum. This, with the
Democrat, will give the lower Cape Fear
section, two excellent representaiives and
wo shall be well supplied with the news
thereirom. Wish you a 40-horse power
success, friend James.
N. C. Presbyterian.!
Mr. Joshua T. James, of the Daily
Review, of this city, having purchased
he material, etc., of the old Wilmington
Journal, announces that he will revive
the weekly issue of that once powerful
paper on the first Thursday in December.
The office of the Review and Journal is
on the southeast corner of Water and
Chestnut streets.
Hickory Press.
Attention is directed to the prospectus
of the weekly Wilmington Journal.
Mr. Josh T. James, now proprietor of tho
Daily Review, will revive the Journal,
and judging from his newspaper expe
rience and journalistic ability this paper
will rise as a pheemx from the rubbish of
two deaths, in all'the activity and force of
former days.
Itockingham Splrit of tho South.
Mr. Josh T, James, of the Wilming
ton Review, announces that he will re
vive tho old Wilmington Journal
weekly the first number to appear on
Thursday next, Cth inst. The paper is
to be Democratic, as in its former days
faithful to the traditions of that party,
and will bo issued regularly every Thurs
day. Mr. James was for several years
connected with the old Journal as one of
its editors, and will no doubt exercise
the same untiring energy in his new
enterprise that he did in the former exist
ence of that paper.
