CIIRIS TMA S C<?M/ ;S HUT ONCH A YRAR, The sales of the dispensary in Union [>n Monday ami Tuesday amounted to two thousand and thirty dollars and lifty rents. The sales on Christinas rve being over thirteen hundred dollais. Notw ithstamling tliis extraordinary puri-hase of strong drink it is somewhat retmirkahie to say that there Wi-re only four arre.-t> made during the entire d;.v and night Christmas eve. This is a I'onsi ierahlc* amount to l?e spent in one day for strong drink, hut we believe that the dispensary is responsible for the <|iiietude that prevailed throughout the day. We ran all remeinher very distinrtlv during the reign of the open hat room that there were possibly a liuiKirt'tl orunKen men 10 oc seen on our streets ami arrests soinelitues ran up into the dozens, while brawls and lights, cursing and swearing was 110 unusual ueeurrenee upon the streets. It does seem that the morals of the drinking element are r n the upward grade. The most of the large purchase of whiskey this Christmas, possibly NO per cent, of it. was taVm to the quietude of the home, where it has la-en stored away to he drank in moderation. This is so much bettor than formerly, when the social drink at the bar nouncl up in a drunken brawl or general boisuousiicss and rowdyncss, that we cannot he., giving the dispensary credit for havii o made a step forward, in the tense of morality at least. Another commendable feature is the fact that the attractive feature formerly held out t?. tin- hoys b\ the open bar with its comfortable chairs, line mirrors, billiards, pool, etc . to capture the young man in his even ings after business hours has been removed. We believe this is one of the best features of the dispensary law. an i we believe we can see a beneficial result in the rising generation already. We have small hope of reforming the drunkard, hut if we can keep tlie* temptation out of reach of his children awell as our own it will not be many years before w e will have a generation of sober and industrious young men t hat we may he proud of, and the tip) h 1 will he the exception rather than the general rule.

From li'To tl\o party wont to tho Esquimaux village where these funn.v people nil dressed in fur and their intelligrr t logs wore t ut through a number of tricks for our delectation Tho next, place was the homo i f neautiful .Ion K?y, the world r? lowned edip'nted horse, in charge ? f jtti old Southern darkey who is his trainer, and is justly prou i it th> wonderful horse. i ills horse can nhnjt i>pis! iix lie nv?M,?<L'> 4>ul can give ready and ,"vto problems in subtraction, ?

There was much speculation as to how it was possible for this horse 'o perform in this wonderful manner, but none seemed to be satisfied. '"he negro himself says ho cannot explain It. Hostock with his wonderful monagrie of trained wild animals was the )a?t piaett to visit and it was well worth the trip. The control h- has over these ferocious wil I animal* ie somothing remarkable, He handlehis lions, tig irs, bear and elephants in a manner that is remarkab'e. arid th< j were made to do foats thai we have never before seen performed by these animals, The boxing cnugaroo is a novel feature that is very interesting and amusing. The kangaroo stands up on his hind legs and tail and knocks like a veteran. W hen it gets too warm for him he stands on his tail and knocks with ? !! four of his feet at once. This wound up the midway shows for the evening, and all returned to the city well pleased with their evening's enter!?u tnent. There are a number of other .ittr.tc funis for the Midway that were not completed. When everything is in place nnd in running order the Midway will ho one of the tuotA attract v> features at tho Exposition. ? The evening was spent by most of us in taking in the sights a reumi / town There are many shows *ol more or less interest in the upper portion of town, near Line Mr.*?-t, with the other side issues usually to be found around town upon such or casions to pick up your loose change. Friday morning everybody was up bright and early, though some bad ? not retired until the 'wee sina" hours. The program for this morning was a boat ride out to sea beyond Sullivan's Island.
