f , Dec. 28. [ Correspondence
of the Dm ; . ] Merry Christmas wilh
Us usual festivities has come and
i gone , nnd wilh it we had a characteristic
specimen of downright Now England
woiither ; rain , mud , snow , .slush and
cold , nil Imncliod together. In splto of
nil lid ? , there were imposing celebrations
ul our ehnrdics und universal happiness
: u our firesides. While Christinas Is
generally looked upon ns n "homo"
festival , the.ro la no doubt that Its ten-
dcney to be celebrnled as a religious feast
ilny -tondll.y increasing.
The Morton churches especially Iho
Kpiscnpitl nnd Itninun Catholic one" ,
have always made the Christmas colobia-
lion elaborate and imposing , both in
point of mn ic and deeorations.
At Trinity church , the wonderful ser
mon of Uev. Phillip Broftks wa listened
to with the closest attention by an im
mense audience.
The musical programme at the church
of the Medial ) was mitgniliccnl.
At the church ot the Immaciilnte Con
ception , the oraiinc-l was assMcd by Hie
( crnianln orchestra. Hiimineirs mass
in K lint was rendered most beautifully.
Similar programmes were carried out
nt till the other churches and
there is more grand niti.sic
I in lto-ion , on Christmas than
in any other city ii : this country This
is partly owing to thu highly musical
taMeottho people , and partly lo the
large number of Catholic and ICpiseopal
churches here. Bc.s-idcs the regular
church services , the Handel and llaydon
society gave its vuvonty-ninth pertor-
inanuu of lliindel's Messiah , last Sunday
evening. There was the usual large
audience of lovers of the oratoro , und in
deed this annual performance of the
Messiah Mieins to be considurcd as a leg-
nlar religions observance.

Madame Modjoska nncceeds Adonis al

The Cliouans is from a novel by Dalsac
and was dramatized for Mine Modjoska

I' Manager StoUon is reproducinir the
"Mikado" at the Globe with ( ieraldinc
Ulmariis Yum Yum , and Sig. Brocoluti
as 1'ooh Bah. The many long and suc
cessful runs that the " .Mikado" 1ms had
Jinrc place it , in our estinntion , at the
heau of the Gilbert & Sullivan light
operas. Its orchestral score al le.ast is
nitmittctl lobe the Illicit Mr. Sullivan lias
ever produced.
The opera "PrincesIda" will be re

, fit f in the Tremont Temple as a literary lec

for a tremendous outburst of applause ,
which only blioweil how highly 1m was
uMcenu.'d m Boston. Mr. McCarthy is n
writer of books and a journalist , and hi- ,
lecture on Modern J'ietion showed lil.s
great Illness for literary work. Among

Till : COMMON.
In my last letter I inadu some mention
of that historic piece of ground known a.- <
the Boston Common and the army and
navy mnniiment to be. found there ,
Another visit has only served to make
nunnore'enthusiastic than tivor to men-
lion its inturoMing features Visltorrf
and citi/mis alike can recall a pleasant
association with tome one spot on thu
common. Kvery visitor nt leat bus
revelled in the cool shiidu ofthuTrca-
inont or Beacon btreut malls , The
inimitable "autocrat , " Dr. Holmes , has
immortali/.cd one of these malls by lay
ing al its head the scene of one of tin :
lilcasuntest courlsliips in literature.
The "antoeral" had obtained a ticket lu
Kuropu so that if Iho bewitching little
t-ohoolmlstrcss turned adunfoar to his
prayer ho might escape from her sight
forever. Ho writes as follows.
"It was on the common that we wore
walking , The mull or boulevard of out
common , j on know , has various branches
leading from it in various directions ,
One of the.se runs down from opposite
Joy street , .southward across Iho whole
common to Boylhton Mreet. We culled
it tl'o ' 'Jong path' and were fond of it.
" 1 foil very weak indeed ( though of a
thoroughly robust habit ) , us wo ciimo op
posite the head of this path on that morn
ing , 1 ( hinic 1 tried to apeak twice with'
out making myself distinctly audible. At
last 1 gel oul die question : 'Will > ou
take the long path with mi ) ? ' 'Certainly , '
said Iho clioolmislro9S , 'with much
pleasure. ' Think,1 I said , 'buforo yen
answer ; if yon take thu long path with me
now , 1 shnll inlerprel il Unit we are tc
part no moral1 The Echoolinibtres'
stopped back with n suddcnjmovcmenl ns
if an arrow had Mrue.k her. Ono of the
long granite blocks Used as seats was
hard by , the one yon may still see. by the
< ; iuko tree , 'Pray sit down , " 1 said , ! .No ,
no , ' she nnswcrrd , softly , 'I will walk the
long path with you. ' "
Passing from this pleasant scone , and
bidding adieu to the "long path" and its
arching elms , let us once more climb the
little knoll near the frog pond and take
another view of the monument , lie *
Iween Ihe four large pedestals at the base
of the hafl are four large bronze reliefs
which I believe. 1 did not mcnton in my
lost letter. These arc full of interest , and
arc worlh noticing because they are well
designed and well made , and contain the
faces of a great manj noted persons who
are still living. The lirst relief repre
sents "The Departure for the War. " It
.shows a regiment mulching by Ihe step's
of the old state house , with the mounted
otllccrs : Colonel Shaw , Colonel Lowell
and Colonel Cus , General H. 1 * . Under
and Quartermaster General Heed. On
Iho steps are scon Iholtovs. Turner , Stir-
geatit , A. 11. Vlnton , Phillips , Hrooks ,
Archbishop Williams , Governor An
drews , Wendell Phillips , Mr. Whilmoro ,
the pool Longfellow and others.
The second bas-relief shows a group of
die sanitary commission at woi k in die
Mold , with Kdwnrd Kvcrotl Hale at its
head. In another group are shown K It.
Mudge , A.H lllec , .James Itusscll Low
ell , Kcv. Dr. Gannett , Georiro Tlcknor ,
W. \ \ . Clapp and Marshall P. Wilder.
The third bas-relief represents the "He-
turn from the War , ' ' and is by far the
most vlnhorr.tu of the reliefs , containing
about foily llgnres. It shows a vuUiran
regiment marching by the state bouse ,
suiToirloring their battle Hags lo Gov
ernor Andrews , the beloved war gov
ernor. Happy wives and children ot the
veterans break the rank" of the column.
The mounted ollicers are Generals Hart-
loll , lTmlcrwood , Hanks and Dovciis , Iho
civilians are Dr. Hcyuolds , Governor
Andruw , Senator Wilson , Governor Claf-
lin , Minor hlitP'tlolV , .Judge Putnam ,
Charles Sunnier , C. W. Slack , , Iame-i
liedpalb and ,1. H. Smith. On tin ; left of
the fourth bas-relief is represented the
departure of the sailors fiom home and
an engagement between a massive confederate -
federate fortress and a federal man of
war and monitor.

Among the many noted persons who o
names appear above , 1 am reminded that
one , .Marshall Pinckney Wilder , who has
enjoyed , perhaps , not a national reputa
tion , but certainly an enviable ono in
and around Boston , has lately passed
away. Mr. \ \ ildor was an eminent agri
culturist andpomologist , foiimlci of the
U. S. Agricultural society , an honest
man , ami ono of the leading merchants
of Hoston. FitANSUM. . i , .

A Ilrnrc
Will Visschor in ChluaRo Herald- Tow
people in this tluy have heard or read
anything about Henry 1'axon , who was
the originator of the broad and healthy ,
hcarly and roHcksome style of American
newspaper humor whiuh has prevailed
p.xtensively for the past quarter ot a cen
tury or more. 1'axon came of a family
of printers. Fifty years aijo his father
was a job printer in litilVulo , and that
old typographer beget nine sons , all
of whom were disciples of the. black
art , whieh is generally associated with n
tlitvll an Innoeeiit sort of a tlovil ho lias
always been , however , whose greatest
fault" was that lie usually carried away ,
on bin bands and face , more ink than his
employer could all'ord to lose. One of
the brothers was Lou Faxon , well known
to southern Illinois polities of not a very
l.i to dale , and who for the last twenty *
live or thirty years ha * , published news-
nailers , lirst at I'adncah , Ky , then at
Cairo , 111. , and who has been mayor of
both ol IhoM ! ( itk'S at ilillerent times ,
and has held many other high places ot
trust iu the Kden of Dickon" , the capital
ot the modern Kgypl. Another brother
'
wns Charles who 'was famous in Louis
ville nuwspancrdoiu as the editor of
the Conner before its consolidation
With the ilouriial. and who in the last ( In-
caile of Prentice s life gave the littler
moie concern as an iinlagoni t than did
o\en Sliadrach Venn mtliotliiys of Whig-
gory and the AtlvertUer. Charles Faxon
was not only a brilliant political writer ,
well versed in the history of parties ana
the men and measures of Ins day , but ho
was also possessed of a oheoriness of
disposition whieh seemed to be peren
nial , and he always wore it "ping-hat"
which looked as if ho had ml eritcd it ,
and to which age and advcr.Mty had
brought the appearance of a tlisnolod
concertina , in the matter of being very
much crushed , lie also had a supreme
contempt foi champagne , because nt
bamiiicts that comparative mild beverage
was liable to picvail when he thongnt
that pure bourbon should be the only
"conversation water. " Chailes Faxon
died at Clarksville , Tenn. , about eigh
teen years ago , deeply mourned lr > those
who know him best.
Of the other Faxon brothers very little
is known by this writer.
Henry 1-axon , who was familiarly
known as "Hank , " was it man of numer
ous accomplishments. Ho was an cvecl-
lent electrician , far ahead of the major
ity of them of his time , and to him 1'ro.
fessor Morse owetl much of h's ' .success
in the work of perfecting the electric tel
egraph. At one time Faxon owned , in
partnership with a gentleman named
Cutler , who is now s Denver ne\v > piipor
man , ono of the lirst telegraph lines
erected in the world , anil it ran from
Troy. N. Y. , to a point in Canada Faxon
could speak many tongues , being remarkable -
markable as a linguist , and on one occa
sion his knowledge of French served bis
purpose well in a little matter of revengii
which was more unique than gallant. He
was the editor of a newspaper in Troy
at the time and wont down to Now York
to see a newly imported French actress
play , lie called on her , intending
to do her some honor , and
during the visit he heard her di
rect her agent , in French , to give him
sonic complimentary tickets to her enter
tainment. remarking that she presumed
that was what he. mo t particularly de
sired , and saying very unpleasant things
about "American sponging. " Ot course
she was not aware that I'nxon spoke
French much belter than she did Kuglish ,
anil she was stunningly astonished when
ho refused the bits of board and bowed
himself out with a French adieu , ilo at
tended her performance , however , ami
being a brilliant writer , had .a wide en
tree to the columns of the New York
newspapers. Justly enough , ho wrote
scathing , ironic , ridiculing and ruinous
criticisms of her acting , followed her to
I'hilndclphia unit did the snmo thing , and
actually making a "laughing stock" of
tier. The result was that , overwhelmed.
with lailiirc , chagrin and mortilication ,
she gave up her Ameticau tour and wont
back to Franco and went out like : i
smillcd caudle.
Faxon was a brilliant musician , had a
rich and fairly cultivated voii'c , and fre
quently delighted his associates with
songs , which lie sang to his own accom
paniment on the pianoforte , lie was also
a fair draughtsman , and i-omctiincs mndc
pictures anil caricatures with his pencil
which wore full of jolly fun In news
paper work ho wrote with great strength
anil often in the broad exaggerative style
alluded to above , but which was not ex
tensively appreciated or cared for in his
day. Hut ho was oxccnsively iind "unani
mously anonymous' ' in his humor
ous articles and in his poetry.
In fact , he signed nothing except
ti few notes of hand , which , though
worth les- > than anything else of which
he. was the author and MO what IK ; wrote
gave him very little fame outside a co
terie of personal friends. Among his
closest friends , who wore also to home ex
tent his pupils and proteges , wore men
who wrc widely known to the world and
HID literature of humor as "P. Q.
I'hilandor Doostick , " "The Fat Contrib
utor , " "Artemus Ward" and Orpheus C.
Kcr , " and he was the intimate tricnd of
( jeorge 1) . 1'rontice , ot the Louisville Jour
nal , and other distinguished editors. For
the most part these men harvested their
work and got something from it , in both
money and fume ,
Always generous , sympathetic and kind
- thus displaying another characteristic
of the true humorist -ho was continually
doing something through which he hoped
to relieve the distress of another , and
frequently .succeeded , oven to the extent ,
occasionally , of making a fortune for the
object of bis solicitude , but never , by any
chance , in doing the samu for him ult ,
or oven sharing in the agreeable results ,
further than enjoying the happiness ot
bestowing blessings. As an illustration
of this. At one time , when he was work
ing in a HiifVnlo newspaper , a circus
stranded there , and it.- , unpaid perform
ers and employesyor about the city
"carrying the banner. " as a bankrupt
printer would put it. Faxon became ac
quainted with one of thcao , a clever
light-ropo walker , and took a deep inter
est in him. So one morning ho an
nounced in his paper , with a great
"j = oaro head" and much llourisli , with
out the "artists. " that
consulting . on a
certain date .Mons. Hlondin would walk
across Niagara tails on a rope. M.
lilondiii was as much astonished at tins
announcement as any one. else , or morose
so , ami in a slate of Intense excitement
ho rushed down to Faxon ' .i ollico and ex
claimed :
"Ah , Monsieur Faxon , you have mo
ruin ! Zo people will regard Ulondin as
vet you callr impostairc. "
"Hut , " queried Faxon , "can't you walk
Niagara * "
"Oh , 1 suppose /.at would ho no dim
cult , " replied the Frenchman , "but.o
rope , /o arjanyemon ovpunse.at
would bo ifoOO , J have not ze one del
lar.
"Never mind about the dollars , " said
1 l-'axoii , "I'll arrange for all that , " and he
urn. The great performance was adver
tised widely excursions came from all
directions , vasts crowds of people wit-
nested the wonderful feat , and IMondln.s
fortuuu was made , for he repeated it
many times with added attractions and
dillicu'l ' tiiH-s , but it is more tlun prob
able that Faxon never received s& much
from it all as they pay fore arrange-
mon. "
Another ca e in point Faxon went ,
one snmnicrdown toSilver Lake.a pleas
ant retreat nrar Huflalo , to rest Irom his
journalistic labors. An acquaintance of
bis bad built a superb hotel uy the. beautiful -
tiful sheet of water , whieh is so deep iu
ome places it lins1 not been fathomed.
The landlord's exchequer was sull'ering
from a lack of patronage nt his caravan
sary. Faxton at once became alhe to
the interests of his host , ami , with his
pcrrcnmal desire to help , devised n
scheme to bring about a boom. Having
obtained lite consent and co-operation o
the landlord he went back to linllalo and
employed a joiing tinsmith , who was
possessed of a great deal of ingenuity ,
and between them they constructed and
equipped a monstrous tin snake , which
could open Us awful mouth and perform
many gyrations by the aid of machinery.
This terrible reptile was anchored in the
lake and arranged in such a manner
with wires that it could be worked from
the basement of the hotel , and matte to
dart , fmioiisly , from the depths of the
surface and btck again.
Haing arranged all these preliminaries
satisfactorily , and his smikcship being in
excellent working order , Faxon returned
once moro to Hitnalo and wiolc in his
paper a great sensational story about
"The .Monstrous Snake in Silver Lake. "
The result was that people rushed to the
place. The hotel was quickly tilled to
overllowlng , as were tiio barns and sheds
and temporary shelter which the de
lighted landlord was foiced to omploj a
gang of men to erect. Many came and
Pi ought tents and camped on the shores
of tlie lake , and all patronized ,
more or Ies , the hoMelry , which bad . > v
became si perfect monei mailing mint.
These VH'ts ' were repaid by occasional
glimpses ol the friglittiil monster , the
fame of which became noised abroad
throughout the land , until at hist Horace
( Jreeiey , the famous philosopher of the
Tribune , made a visit of investigation.
He would know all about the tiling or
know the leasou why. Ho employed a
couple of boatmen , possessed ol sulllcicnt
courage to row to the haunts of the serpent -
pont , ami accompanied by the philoso
pher they had reached : i point within
forty or hfly feet of the place wnorc the
terrible thing usually exhibited it
self , when siiddoiily with a
wild dash it came to the surface ,
expanding its frightful jaws and
uvincing unusual ragu. In mortal terror
Horace yelled at his oarsmen one line
from the popular revival hymn , "Pull for
the Shore Hoys , Pull for the Shore , " and
they obeyed with an alacrity born of
great teiror. ( Jrcoloy wont homo ami
wrote a page in the Tribune about his
trip ami what ho saw , anil savans from
the schools of Kuropc came over to sec
the wonder , but one day the rigging
biokc , and the great Silver Lake snake
was an exploded hoaxIt had its cllcct ,
however , for the landlord reaped a plen
tiful harvest , ami was saved from bank
ruptcy , while Faxon had the keen enjoy
ment of a huge practical joko.
In bis love of _ doing good Faxon used ,
in the winter lime to hold occasional do
nation parlies in the ollico of the Kepub-
lic , and the dressed turkeys and other
poultry , rousts of beef , sacks of Hour , etc. ,
which came in on such occasions \vore
next day distributed by him with great
glee to deserving poor. Hut he always
pave a quid pro quo , for he would make
the occasion hilanoiii to an eminent de
gree to the donors on the night of the
party , and the gatherings grew popular
and extended to other establishments of
that and neighboring cities and towns ,
being productive of much joy and suc
ceeding good.
Henry Fax-on died about the clo-'o of
the war of the rebellion from a gunshot
wound received in the-lino of duty as a
gallant soldier in the union army , though
IK ; had brothers and other near relatives ,
being of southern stock , who fought on
the other side. The friends ho had were
many , and they mourn him to this day as
a noble , whole-souled , bravo and accom
plished gentleman , who wont away too
soon for the good of the world and him
self.
Voiir Krleuils Will Never J'cll You ,
Hut perhaps somebody , who isn't your
friend , will , that your presence is ren
dered olVonsivo by tin ; foul , fetid smell of
your breath , hvery word you utter ,
though it be the very echo of wiidom and
poetry , ilitgusls your heavers , and your
laugh is productive of anything but mirth
to them. It is a duly you owe , not only
to yourself , but to society , to remove this
cause of oH'onsc. Dr. bairc's Catarrh rem
edy will heal the diseased mucous mem
brane , will bring relief to yourself and
others. Do not hesitate to efnploy it.
