The President's annual message to
the Congress was . laid before that
body yesterday, and is presented in
full in our columns this morning;- it
is devoted entirely to a discussion of
the revenue question, which he holds
js the absorbing one of the day, and a
sweeping reduction in the tariff cus
toms is ably argued. : No busi
ness was done in either bouse of Con
gress yesterday, other than the re
ception of the President's'message.
In a revenue rauL in. Alabama,
George Kirk, a notorious, moon

uncertain field for speculators.
It is expected that M. Goblet 'will be

The colored men of Minnesota
have organized a protective and in

It seems that Mr. Page the Vir
ginia story writer,' did have a warm
reception in the New York Literary
Congress, if the- Sun's report can be
trusted. The TForW intimated other
wise. The Sun says:
"The two authors who wero listened tc
with the greatest avidity were uadoubtedl
Air. Frank Stockton and Mr. Thomas Nel
son Page; and this fact affords an encourag
ing indication- of tbe justice of genuine
literary popularity. The humor of 'Rud
der Orange and the exquisite patbos' of
'Mars Chan' aud 'My Lady' merit indeed
all the admiration that caa poeasb'.y bo be
stowed upon them, and this was evidently
the opinio a of the intelligent crowd who
came tojisten -to tbe American authors'
reading at Chickcring Hal)."
We are glad it was Page and not
the sniffling Cable.

"fr Janraarkt.
Preparatlofas were completed last
night by the ladies of the' Lutheran
Church for their "Jahrmarkt.,, The
booths are all in order, and the deco
rations are tastily - arranged. The
whole system of interior decoration
of the City Hall is economical, but
very pretty. "
To the left of the entrance the pub
lic will have a. good view of the Art
Gallery andvMuseum, where will be
displayed many historical and inter-
teresting articles. Three celebrated
French rifles,' used in the Franco-
Prussian war, -with which the Ger
mans feared they could not compete,
were sent by a German Infantry
Company, of Charleston, S. C, to the
Jahrmarkt. . This Com pari y is said to
be the i-oldest German; "slraetzer"
Company Jn the United States, of
which the South should be Justly
proud. In compliance with a special
request made by this Company, King
William sent them six "Chaseepots."
These are, as far as we know, the
only guns of the make in this coun
try. Tbey are, therefore, very Inter
esting and valuable, and a special
committee will take charge of . them
while they are on exhibition at
the "markt." A sabre, the prop
erty of the grandfather of Mr.
Ed. Wessell has been contribu
ted, which was used in the war
against the Turks. Another curiosi
ty will be a medal which was pre
sented for bravery to the late Henry
Glameyer, whose sisters, Mesdames
Hanser and J. G. Gieschen, are
well known' here.
To the left of the Art Gallery and
Museum,' beginning at the door, and
extending nearly all the way across
the ball, are tents, or booths, reacti
ng to the Winter Gadren. The lat
ter is surrounded by large and hand
some trees, freshly cut from the for
ests, presenting a pleasing and artis
tic effect. The rostrum of the hall is
arranged as a Summer Garden, and
extending from this to the entrance,
there are a series of booths, each
having its respective name, in Ger
man,, placed conspicuously near the
entrance to the booth. -
In the center of the hall is the
Floral Cave.
The Shooting Gallery will be pre
sided over by Messrs. J. G. Olden
buttel and J. G. L. Gieschen. Air
guns have been provided for the oc
casion, and were brought here through
the courtesy of Capt. Ingram, of the
steamer ulf Stream, from New York.
These rifles are positively noiseless.
and the gallery will be boarded up,
which will prevent any one being in
jured accidentally. Every precaution
will be taken to secure safety and
pleasure, not only in this respect, but
throughout the entire hall by gentle
men who act as floor managers, to
whom the guests are referred for any
information desired, as well as to re
ceive all complaints of losses, etc.
The Jahrmarkt will be opened to
the.publio at seven o'clock p, m. each
evening, commencing to-night, and
continuing until Friday night, inclu
sive. Admission, each night, ten
cents.
An opportunity will be afforded to
have your fortune told in English and
German.
