The Csrivtmos Carnival--Decoration of the (Quer ches—Appearance ef the Mar- hets--The Poultry Traffic, . ue, bo, &e. ‘it will be no mews to the litte folks to tolt Yhem that e-day is Christmas. They have known that it was erming for weeks, and haye taken good care that their ektors have known it aleo, ee that the customary supply @f toys and presents appropriate to the veasun would uot bo forgotten. Hundreds of thousands of happy homes Bave been made jndiluat this morning by the discovery of mysterions packages, which somehow found their way flo the stockings which had been hang up the evening: previous by the children, in the full belief that Santa Gaus wouid not forget them. Nor did he; for the fancy foods and toy dealers say that trade with has ever Wen better than jt bas boon during the past week. Yesterday, of course, the sivres were crowded with aoxiots mammas and papas, hunting up appropriate Presents for tho little people, and vaiuly eudeavoring Wo teruce the toy dealers to be reasonable in their prices. ‘Tne latter, however, whose business does not amount to much during ali the rest of the year, make up for it by ebarging exorbitant prices for the poorest toys, when they know their customers cannot help but uy. ‘The charming weather of yesterday, which was bright and clear, and just cold enough to make a smart walk enjoyable, had the effict of filling the streets with tons of Wousands of present-buying pedestmans, Nearly every person cut bat some evilence about them of the ap- preaching holiday~oue a turkey, another a hobbyhorse ercart, atbirda doll, and so op through the entire cata- Jegue vf Christmas comits and holiday gifts. But the children did not monopolize ail the presents What were bonght yesterday. ‘The jewelry stores did an enormous business, and more than made up for the stack- ness of Jast year, when the panic compel! forego their usual tesLimouijals of friendship and at! \. Tbe fancy cools business of this season has been fally equal to that of our most prosperous years, acircumstance wdich shows that the general business of tho country wurt be goo!, as tho first things in which poople econo- mise when they bave but little money are in just such Pususies. Some idea of the vast extent of the traffic in holiday presents and Christinas turkeys may be judged from the fact that the American Express Company during the lust five days have received and shipped from their depot in Hivdgon street pearly fifty car loads of presents. {tis Bwpposed that through the a,eucy of this company pro. sents worth u quarter of a million of dollars bive been @intriduted around the country. The other express com- panies have also done an immense business, aud yeeter- day their wagons might be seen dashing to every part of ‘tbe city with packages containing presents of every de- @Hristinas in this city ie particularly observed by our adopted citizens, to whom it is the great holiday of the Year. There are but Cow Iriah families in this city way, however poor, but will baye their roast gouse for dioner; and a revercuce for Christroas day and its associations of good cheer and home comforts is aimort hereditary with ep Engishman. The Germans, too, have the highest vegard for the testivity, and all the lager bier shops in the Bowery and throughout the city last wight were decorated ‘with Chrisimas greens, and not aiew of them indulged in the extravagance of a Christmas tree, with its colored Seghte and other fanciful embellishments, Although the Puritang discountonanced Christmas, their @eserudanty are beginuing to apprectate itt beautiiul sso. cintions and suggestions more and more every year. The Reman Catholics and Epivcopalians have nlwaye paid due enor to the anniversary of tho Nativity, and the most Bignificant and itupressive of their religious Pervices are performed on that day. ‘The custom of decorating and adorving the churches with evergreen’, pictares and iliumivations on Christmas eve, was duly observed in this olty last night.

The column suppor Ung the arches, as well as the arches themselves, are heavily covered wit ever- (greens of white and red cedar, white pine, larch, hem- Jock, epruco, box, laurel, ivy and holly, and other greens @f various bucs, artistically combined so a8 to compiotely hide every trace of the wooden frame. The slender vine ef the ivy shouts gracefully from the column and arches ‘et tatervals, and the light red berries of the bolly bang fe bunches among the dark green loaves, and form a must eharming cnembic, Uae pave! above the arches are the ‘words— eee ressooes ee.

The pillars of the eboreh aro also decorated with evergreen, and oa the corners of the aisles cedars and pines were fasteved, which had a very neat effect. Bt. Paul's chapol, St. Stephen's church, St. Thomas, St. Jobn the Baptist, the Church of the focarnation, aud in fact all the Episcopal churches of this city and Brooklya ‘were most elaborately decorated. Nor were the Roman Cathoitc churches behindhand. They were also moet pro- perly and tastefully decorated, and were visited by crowds of reverential worshippers during (ue “evening. Some of the Unitarian and Methodist churches were also @ecoraied, Wough not to the same extent as those of tho Episcopalian aad Loman Catholic persuasions.

Of course poultry, of some kind or other, was the reat staple of the day; for evon the poorest customers parsed by the meat and Meh ptands without as much as asking the price of the various tempting commodities of that dereription which wore every@here diplayed—poal. ‘Qty oF game of some kind every one niuet have; and the flow parsons who bonght a joint of meat ora fae fish loft the market with a guilty air, a» if they were ashamed of themselves, end did pot with any of thelr frichue to coe them.
