much valuaoe assistance In the preservation of
their trophy.
THE CltlCKET ON THE HEARTH Went Off |
very ?mioothiy last night, wanting only a fuller
houstrxo make lt os successful as could bc de?
sired. The holiday season had most to do with
the small attendance, but the confusion worse
confounded in King street Interfered with thc
comfort or the* audience. We are glad, there?
fore, to be able to state authoritatively that
Mayor Pillsbury will not allow the blowing of
trumpets or the making of any other noise In the
vicinity of the Academy, and has ordered the

and the Persecutions of the Christians In Turkey.'
In each of these churches a collection will be
taken In aid of the suffering women and children
of the Cretan christians, banished to Greece by
their Turkish oppressors.
TH* LITTLE MAJOR.-One of thc prominent
attractions on the streets yesterday, that drew
even the attention or those bent on Christmas
preparations, was the grotesque appearance of
little Major Fickling, the warrior cf the period.
The soldierly deportment of this little son of Mars
wa3 enhanced by a trim uniform of Confederate
gray, In which cause the gallant Major had won
his laurels. Though small In statue, be carried
the weapon of a Collah, and handled lt tn a man?
ner to elicit the plaudits of an admiring crowd.
Where Bissel! &Co., the sponsors of the major,
obtained the fowling piece he so proudly bore
lt ls dLl%eult to say, but as a peripatetic adverti?
sing medium, he was an undoubted success.
FIRE.-About a quarter-past 4 o'clock yes?
terday morning, a Arc was discovered in thc
building known as Fordham's Hall, and though
the alarm was quickly given, the firemen were
unable to prevent the destruction of the property.
The building was occupied by F. W. Elfe as a
grocery store and residence, and everything was
safe when he retired. The alarm awoke him about
4 o'clock, and on descending he found the back
door open and the fire In the rear of the store. It
spread with such rapidity that he was barely able
to remove his family, and saved nothing. Thc
building was owned by Mr. C. Meyers, or Summer?
ville, and was insured In Mr. Z. B. Oakes' office.
The stock and furniture were also Insured, the
former In Messrs. Colbnrn A Howell's agencies.
The origin of the fire ls noknown, but lt was evi?
dently the work of ^n incendiary.
CRUMBS.-A detachmeut of United States
troops left for Florida last night on the City Point.
The coroner's Inquest over Maurice Ball, the
colored man whose body was found floating in
Ashley River, ls still progressing.
A fight occurred on East Bay on Thursday af?
ternoon between two men, who mangled each
other's countenances considerably with their
teeth.
The Chlcora Cornet Band have received their
instrumenta through Messrs. Zogbanm A Young.
The tootists were abroad last night, and the
discordant harmony would have delighted a Mon
golean musician.
Some enterprising character has established a
"merry go round'' on a vacant lot on Calhoun
street tj^at will be well patronized by thc little
gamins of that section. It ls furnished with a
score of horses, and the aspiring equinauts can
have a round of enjoyment at a small outlay.
VON SAKTEN'S Music Box.-None of the vast
crowds that have thronged Von Santen's store
for the past few weeks hare failed to noUcc the
magnificent music box that formed one of the
principle attractions to the bazaar. The Hst of
chances ls now full, and as the raffle is announc?
ed for Monday next, all whose names are on the
list are requested to come forward and do their
beet endeavors to win the box. The raffling will
. be conducted op the fairest way known. Tickets
marked with the number of chances will bc put
in one receptacle, and an equal number of blanks,
one. of which is inscribed "Music Box," will bc
placed In another. The boxes will bc presided
over by two small boys, and the drawing from
each box or hat be simultane?os, and as the
ticket marked mosle box la drawn, the number
drawn from the other box at the same time will
be that which will give the lucky holder a
handsome Christmas box.
RKPORTE'D CONSPIRACY IN BARNWELL.
The Augusta Chronicle mentions a report that a
party of negroes In Barnwell County, names un?
known, bad conspired to monler a planter in that
section named Ashley. IQ order to carry out this
plan they intended to make a raid on the barn of
Mr. Ashley, and then when the owner came out
to see what was the matter, they would have an op?
portunity of shooting him without being detected.
From some canse or other, however, the secret
of the murderers, Uke the secrets of all conspira?
tors, was betrayed, and Mr. Ashley was informed
of the dbbeme laid against his life, and took mea?
sures to provide for hui safety. Accordingly on
the night when the attack was to be made, Mr.
Ashley's son stationed himself, armed, near the
barn In ambush. Not long after the young man
had placed himself in wait, the negroes arrived
on the ground and made an attack on the
barn door. Whilst they were trying to force
it open young Ashley fired on the gang, struck
one of their number, and the rest of the would-be
murderers took to their heels.

CHRISTMAS EVE.
In tile Street?-The Shops and the Shop?
pers-The Street Cars-The Markets
Street Hucksters-Cutting Christmas
Trees-Scenes in thc Churches-A "Word
for the Poer, ?Sic.
Though yesterday came in with a leaden
sky ami an atmosphere, uncomfortably raw, it
was easy to see, from thc moventcntson all sides,
that it WES no ordinary day. At an early hour
thc streets were filled with people, all anxious to
procure some luxury for meir loved ones. All
were cay? smiling and happy, front the benign
grandsire to thc little prattler by his side, and all
apparently intent upon thc same errand. Green?
backs were brought from some hidden recess, and
thc secret hoard was spent iu procuring some
long coveted Christmas gift. It was evident that
thc vast host or buyers who thronged the stores
during the day were convinced that "it was far
more blessed to give than to receive," and then
purchases woo made with a liberal baud and
without a thought of self. "All cares were Tor
gotten, and the only business that engaged the
attention was to make a selection from thc nu?
merous articles that were presented in lavish pro?
fusion.
I ON KING BTOlsr.
This, the great emporium of fashion, and thc
favorite haunt of Santa Claus, was the centre of
attraction, and was thronged with a happy
crowd of all ages, classes, colors and conditions,
eager to exchange their currency for Christmas
gifts. Thc toy stores were soon transformed into
miniature Babels, where lt was a vain effort to
keep quiet, and almost impossible to be heard.
Everybody wished to purchase and was not will?
ing to bide his time. The numerous clerks were
kept busily employed! but it was a libor of love
into which all entered with a zest that made
shopping for once a pleasure to both parties.
Von Santen's, Kinsman's, Fleming's, Ward's, and
the other toy and confectionery stores along the
6treet were prepared for the occasion, and pre?
sented to their bewildered customers an array of
plain, fancy and useful articles that far exceeded
any similar display that has been made for years.
Toys, however, were not the only attraction, the
o'der and the wiser heads remembered the Christ
mas dinner, and devoted some of their time to
the pnrchase of the- necessary groceries, while
others were busily employed in procuring an out?
fit fy the New Year at the different clothing
and dry goods stores. From Line street to the
Battery the streets presented a busy appearance,
entirely consistent with the Joyous Christmas
season.
ON THE STREET CARS.
These were immensely popular, and were
crowded with parties whose purchases had been
completed, or with those who were on their way
to the busy mart of Santa Claus. The platforms
were occupied by packages of every description,
which were watched with a tender solicitude by
the little passengers. Each trip was a success, as
fractional currone* was at a discount, and ten
cents too trifling a sum to be saved.
IN THE MARKETS.
TJie markets were supplied with more than their
usual fare, but all in abundance. Game was plen?
tiful and the prices reasonable. Thc first market,
where the feathered tribe are kept, was the most
popular, and the loud remonstrances of the
geese, turkeys, ducks and fowls, showed plainly
that they did not appreciate the summary fate
that was in store for them. No Christmas dlnucr
ls perfect without a turkey, and the gobblers
were gobbled np by anxious customers
who feared they might lose thi3 delicacy.
Geese and ducks came next on thc list, while
the fowls were reserved for ordinary occasions.
Meats of different kinds were displayed
In tempting profusion, beef, mutton and pork pre?
dominating ; but thc more savory venison was
found at many attractive stalls. Farther on the
vegetable market attracted attention, and theoW
maumas, in their Christmas turbans, anxiously
solicited thc passers to purchase. Their stalls
were filled with everything that was In or out of
season that could be procured for a Christmas
dinner, and their appeals were not unheeded.
The fruiterers had each converted their stands
Into green booths, where apples, oranges and
bananas were suspended from boughs of pine or
Christmas bush, which shadowed their stock.
Still further on the shrill cry of "eyestcr" denotes
that the fish market has its claims on the Christ?
mas purse, while the numerous tables spread for
the freedmen sent up savory odors that were by
no means disagreeable. Throughout the et'tire
length of the market the moving throng had ap?
parently but one object-Christmas was coming, a
good dinner was a necessity, and It must be ob?
tained.
THE nCCISTERS.
These formed an Important part of the body cor?
porate on this occasion, and certainly succeded
in making themselves hearg. In every portion of
the city their shrill voices, calling their stock in
trade, rose loud above the din of drays and other
city noises. These Itinerant Venders were mostly
strangers, and had visited the city for the pur?
pose of raising money by thc sale of their pro?
duce, which consisted principally of wood, pota?
toes and game. Their prices were far below
those asked lu the markets, and they soon effect?
ed an exchange, which filled their pockets and
sent them on their way rejoicing.
CHRISTMAS TREES.
In the suburbs a number of persons were en?
gaged in cutting aud preparing Christmas trees,
and thc green boughs that were borne through
thc streets were signs that the good old custom
was still in force, and the trees would soon be in
a position to produce Christmas fruits.
AT THE CnURCnES,
More especially the Catholic, Episcopal and Lu?
theran, the younger members of thc congrega?
tions were preparing the Christmas decorations,
and their nimble fingers were employed in twin?
ing thc evergreens Into thc proper shapes.
Wreaths, garlands and festoons were 60on form
ex!, and letters of living green informed the wor
hippers that unto them "a Saviour was born
who would take away the sins of the world.'1
From early morn to dewy eve the streets aud
-tores presented the same animated appearance,
t; d lt was sot until a late hour that the purchases
vere concluded, the preparations made, and the
busy throng retired to dream of the coming
Christmas.
A PANDEMONIUM OF NOISE.
The confusion of tongues at Babel must have
caused a war of words by no means harmonious;
but a proper idea of genuine, well-authenticated
discord can only bc formed by those persons who
ve ?tured on King street last night. Bauds of men
aud boys, botli white and colored, in grotesque and
fantastic costumes, paraded thestreetsand made
night hideous by repeated blasts on honi3 and
trumpets of all sizes, shapes aud sounds. To add
if possible to thc confusion, the prohibition of
Mayor Pillsbury was completely Ignored, and fire?
works of all descriptions were freely exploded
along thc street. The revellers had complete pos?
session of thc street, and marched and counte:
marched from George to Queen, blowing lustily,
and varying that enteriainment with an occa?
sional fusilade of fireworks. The neighborhood
of thc Academy of Music was chosen as
the rendezvous of the different bands, and
the uolse made ia that locality was so
aggravatingly loud that lt was heard lu thc
auditorium, and destroyed much of thc plea?
sure reit In listening to the play. The police were
out in full strength, but were powerless, as the
crowd was In a boisterous mood, and surged
around in such a manner ns to prevent any ar?
rests. Severs.! desperate charges were made at
some parties, whose countenances were evidently
borrowed for the occasion, but each sortie only
caused a scatteration and a suddeu disappear?
ance of what might bc considered even the sus?
picion of a mask. The crowd was in a thorough
good humor, and the shoppers who thronged the
stores or flied slowly along the sidewalks, seemed
to appreciate the spirit of fun that camed the
loud display or hilarity. Christmas comes but
once a year, but this season it has been announc?
ed tu onr usually quiet city with more clamor
and din than for years past, lt would be draw
it rather mild to say, that thc advent was audi
ble.
wrrn THE roon.
At this Season the widow and thc orphan, thc
poor and the dist: essed, suffer the most and ap
peal most earnestly to our charity and compas?
sions. No man will enjoy Christmas the less for
the knowledge that he has helped to make the
day happy for some destitute woman or orphan
child, aud at this season a small sacrifice will
enable our people to accomplish a vast amount of
good. The Fuel Society alfords an admirable
c'jannel through which a most timely and accep?
table Christmas gift may be bestowed upon the
poor-with thc absolute certainty that lt will
reach none but the most needy and deserving.
This and other kindred and equally meritorious
societies, just now especially, invoke the aid of
ihe charitable, and it will bc remembered that
every addition to their funds increases their
power tn relieving those whom they have taken
In their kindly charge. These societies, these
representatives of the poor, whom Christ loved,
must not ask in vain, and In their name we ask
for al; that each citizen can spare, all-however
little-tliat each can afford to give.
SOMEWHAT BEZOTES.
Some of the policemen who kept watch and
ward over our good city last night, became deeply
nffectcd at the solemnity of the occasion, and
gave vent to their feelings in tumultuous bursts
of emotion. One Individual who had been evi?
dently seeing a man, was discovered gracefully
entwined on a :tmp post at a prominent corner.
He was kindly taken in charge by some of the
star troupe, and ambled off, occupying a larger
portion of the sidewalk than his beat entitled him
to. To tue credit of Charleston, however, lt must
bc said, that few persons were seen In the streets
at any time yestordaywho were unable to navi?
gate. The worshippers at the shrine of Bacchus
must have held themselves In reserve, or have
been contented with lighter wafts than usual.
Several erratic Individuals, who were slightly mel?
low, varied the noisy entertainment of the even?
ing by some capital imitations of an Indian war
whoop, but this was considered only a natural ex?
uberance of spirits fomented by the occasion.
CHRISTMAS AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC.
Christmas will be celebrated to-day at thc Acade?
my of Music by two performances, so that the
ladies ard the children, as well as the sterner sex,
will have an opportunity or witnessing either or
both of two of the most attractive plays ever put
on the boards.
The Old Toymaster will hold his reception at 2
o'clock in the afternoon, when thc "Cricket on
the Hearth" will be performed. For the ladies
and children there could not be a more pleasing
play than this dramatization of Dickens' famous
Christmas story. It will rest long in the memory,
for "Dot" and "Bertha," and the "Old Toy
master" cannot easily be forgotten. The play ls
produced precisely as lt was originally brought
out by Joseph Jefferson, and, as will be seen by a
reference to last night's perrormance, will be put
on the stage with taste, and performed with great
ability. The doors open at one and thc perform?
ance will be over by four.
At night "The Streets of New York" will be
played for the last time. This brilliant spetncular
drama went off remarkably well on Thursday
night, and the andlence Insisted on encoring "the
snow storm" and "the fire." Nothing of the
kind has been seen In this city since the war, and
lt was thc general remark that the scenic effects
would do credit to any large Metropolitan thea?
tre. Thc view or the Everett House and Madison
Square ls especially tine. This play will not be
performed again this season, and should draw
a crowded house.
THE OPERA NEXT WEEK.-On Monday even?
ing next, for the lirst time for more than ten
years, Charleston will enjoy a genuine opera,
brought out with all thc advantages which thc
stage of our new and beautiful Academy affords,
and marked by thc completeness and attention lo
dctitlls which distinguish every entertainment
produced under Mr. ford's auspices. Thc Calton
Opera Company, in their tour through the coun?
try, have every where won the most enthusiastic
encomiums, and In Charleston, where thc popular
taste seems to run so strongly In favor of opera,
their triumph ls already assured. The company
do not attempt the heavier operas, but limit
their performances to the light and spark?
ling music or Offenbach and other composers or
the same school. But whatever they do
undertake ls accomplished in the very best aud
most conscientious manner. Thc Callous arc
nearly related to thc Pync fnmily,whose singing, a
dozen years ago, created so great a furore
throughout thc country. Their styles are said to
be very similar, and, strangely enough, the re?
markable resemblance which Miss Louisa Fyne
bore to the portraits ol Queen Victoria-when the
Queen was young-ls also strikingly noticeable in
Miss Susan Galton, the prima donna or this com?
pany. This last lady ls ramous for her warbling
and trilling, and introduces Into the operas, with
wonderful effect, those old ballads we all love so
well-"Coming thro' the Rye," "Home 8weet
Horne," Ac. It will be noticed that the prices of
admission to trie Academy are to remain unchang?
ed, and seats can now be secured In advance.
An L'?)-Town Market.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
Having understood Indirectly that the city
had been offered thc old railroad passenger de?
pot, between John and Hudson streets, for a mar?
ket, I was induced to stop in and look at lt, and
Indeed, unl> ss the price be extravagant, I cannot |
Imagine why thc proposal should not have been
.I once accepted. The location ls the most ccu- j
tral and best that could be found. The building
ls very substantial, or brick with suite rooting; ls,
I suppose, nearly 300 feet long, runntug through
rroiu John to Hudson street, with openiugs on
each, and from 6<' to 70 feet wide, with spacious
yards on either side for carts^ wagons, Ac. lu
thc towers on John street are several large rooms,
some or which might be rented for rerreshraeut
rooms, while others can be used for locking up
meat, poultry, ftc, remaining unsold. Thc greut
width of this building would allow of retaining the
present luside arrangement, having a railroad
track through thc centre, with a substantially
floored platform ou either side sufficiently wide
for two rows orstalls. This track, it appears to me,
could be used to back the cars bringing from the
country poultry, vegetables, eggs, game, fruit, ftc.,
tlius avoiding thc tumbling from thc cars iuto
carts, which is always attended with much Injury
to such produce. The present up town market,
as ls called the shed In St. Philip street, is totally
inadequate to the wants of the up town folks, as
the pavement outside, lined with vegetable stands,
will amply testify. Nor can room be spared for a
single fruit or game stand ! Should the beautiful
and commodious building on John street be really
offered to the city, and the price in any way reas?
onable, we hope the fathers will weigh Its many
advantages and reconsider the offer.
