THE CITYi CHRISTMAS AND ITS ATTRACTIONS,. Whatever ho the dullness of the skies or the times; whether war Is desolating the fields and sad dening the hearts of a people, or the heavehs are overcast, and weigh us down with their leaden, sul len look, the return of Christmas Is as a flood of sunshine over a darkened world; and the more sombre the hour of its advent, the more fitting is the day, for then It paints tha occasion which It celebrates In appropriate colors. It tells us that, In gloom and despondency, In a econo of humble pover ty, and in a tirno of the year when nature seems mourning for her dead, occurred the mostmomon tons and joyful event of the world’s history. Is It Hot fitting, then, that we should celebrate this time ■with thanksgiving and merry-making 1 Yes, there needs no seer to tell us this; our hearts respond, as with one universal voice, “ It Is fitting.” - , To roach the first celebration of Christmas we juuEt follow the muse of history far, very far back into her ancient traditions, until m near the great event itself. But the manner of doing honor to the Uay was very different from the present, and has been different still in all ages and In all countries where Christianity spread her benign influence. The memory of the old yule log and the boar’s head, and the rest of the jollity of the olden Eaglish Christmas Is one of the earliest and most pleasant Of our childish recollections ofTHstory. , But in these days we have a different and more quiet way of enjoying Christmas, and wo think it an improvement on the olden one. We appoint no master of the revels, but in Ms place we have that delightful old fellow whom all of us when we were young loved so much, and towards whose mythical memory we still look with such tender regret. The custom of bestowing presents upon Christmas day is one to the pleasure of which we can all testify, both as to the giving or receiving. And the display Of bright goods and costly ornaments which this custom causes affords a very grateful pleasure to' the .eye. . There is another custom, too, Incident to our Christmas merry-making and very popular with nearly all clases. On one night In the year the strict authority o! the law relaxes with the kindly influence of the time, and Christmas Eve Is allowed a night of uproar arid riotous mirth. Last Satur day night exhibited this custom, not to such a great extent as we have seen It, yet so fall that Eighth and Chestnut.streets seemed then pandemoniums and not earthly places. From early dusk', whoa, by fhtTquestlonable music of the horns, which" cus tom has adopted to make this of all ; nights hideous, till mis3Jgkt passed and ushered, in the happy, Christmas Day, these streets were; thronged With pleasure-seekers, of all ages and con-; dittos. The swaying of the vast crowd to and fro, the olamor of a thousand voices, the rushing hither thither of excited people in search; of missingj friends, the braying of trumpets and horns,: all combined to make the scene a, vast Babel,' in which, no sense or reason seemed to dwell. And yet the happy time which called this vast throng forth from its dwelling-places, kept It In a rude good-humored kind of order. Very fow disturbances occurred, jand [this were only of a trifling character. Bacchus had his usual number of intemperate votaries, some of whom were taken patronizingly by the arm by the tall reserves of the; police force, and escorted to Fifth and Chestnut streets whence, after a short continuance in " du rance vile,” they were dismissed with wishes of a merry Christmas and the usual compliments of the season; And so Christmas eve passed merrily. Christmas; day came fast upon Its heels, with its brightness and gayety and joy, and worship of the Source or all Us pleasures. Lot us.thank God for Christmas. working-ivomen’s fair. The Working-women's Relief Associat ion is now holding a fair at No. 756 Arch street, where are ofiered for sale, besides the usual quantity of toys and sweetmeats, clothing, and other articles of use and fancy, which have been made by worthy womeh necessitated to work for their living. The entire profits of their labor was paid over to these women, and the fair, conducted as-it is for so estimable an object, should" certainly reeelve the kindest atten tion at the hands of our benevolent citizens, It will he continued during the holidays. , : .

A young woman, named Jennie was arraigned on. Saturday, on the charge of defrauding a colored woman, named Heed, out of the price of making up a dress. It seems that a short time since the defendant, having procured the material for a handsome dress, desired to have it made up in a style of, fashion that should appear second to nothing on Cheetnutstreet. The work was accomplished, the seamstress being re quired to procure certain trimmings. On seeding it to the yoiu'g lady’s residence, in the "vicinity Of Lombard and "Twelfth streets, iha; messenger Was told that she must not leave the article without re ceiving the pay therefor. Upon taking the dress home the message was communicated t > the defendant, who replied very ptca«Rntiy that “it was all right; cer-. tainly.ccmein.” The dress was tried on,and it fitted in every respect, -The defendant re quested, the messenger to be.seated until si e should return with the money. Theyouuglady, thus attired, want into another room, trcin which she ttarted for the street. The "messenger welted" and waited, until she came to the. conclusion that she bed been taken in and done for. The defendant wssjequired to enter bail in the sum of SiOQ to answer at-conn. - .; ' ■ s VERY DISORDERLY CONDUCT, "William Hagert and John Oarberry were arraigned on Saturday on the charge of misdemeanor. It is alleged ttu y went to the lager beer sa.oon ol Lonis Grosch,near Twenty third and Vine tweet;, a few rights since, beat Mr. G,, and also his wife .then broke.pitchers, glasses, shutters, end smashed things generally. One of the de fondants, ills alleged, made .an attack upon the officer who arrestf-d him. -The Prisoners were required to en ter bail in fhe sum of $1,200 to answer at court. A BOUNTY-JUMPER OR DESERTER ARRESTED. On Saturday evening a man who was behaving disor derly in the vicinity of Twenty-first and Spruce streets rushed into a barter-shop in that neighborhood, and suddenly seizing a razor cut.his, throat,-bat did not infiict a, very severe gash, Re was either msane from the effects of strong drink, or affected to he so. He was taken into custody by a police officer. While on the ■way to the station house he had what might be termed a lucid interval, tor he remembered that he had a docu , ment in his pocket that he desired no one to see. Taking it from his pocket as privately as possible, he tore it up and threw the pieces on the side walk. A following po lice officer 'picked. them np. On putting them together .it was ascertained that hts name was James Siatterly, aged 22 years. It Is supposed that he is a bounty -jumper or deserter. He was taken to the Central Station and a physician was called in, who recommended that he be removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital, whither he was taken. DISORDERLIES. .' During Saturday evening there were immense crowds and plenty of mud in the principal streets of-the city. The police'allowed the usual license and to a very f real extent! the . people seemed to outdo each other in lowing tin libras; whose mingling sounds didnot seem like those of bell chimes. Thus the people passed their time away, as a general thing, on Chestnut and Eighth treets. Towards the latter part of the evening, disor erly parties, reeking with the fumes of bad whisky nd stale lager beer, taking advantage of the police li cense, went a little too far, and were arrested. The lockup at the Central Elation was soon filled. Aider man Beitler entered upon his magisterial duties, and heard the parties up to the hour of midnight. Soma were discharged with a reprimand, and others were re quired to enter hail in the sum of $3OO each to he of fu ture good behavior. Quite a number of the prisoners, notbeing able to enter the required amount, were in a fair way of passing their Christmas day in the conuty . prison. THE COURTS.
