ONE HUNDRED GIRLS INA TELEGRAPH Or.
FICE.-In England the business of operating
telegraph wires has been to a great extent
placed in the hands Of young ladies, who find it
very agreeable employment. The inland de.
partment of the Electric Telegraph Company
In London now employs 100 young ladies, who
receive and transmit the messages from all
parts Of the United Kingdom The room in
which they are engaged is lofty, spacious, and
admirably lighted and ventilated. A number
of long tables are placed across the room. upon
which the instruments are placed, an attend
ant being seated opposite each one There is
one table for Liverpool. another for Manches-
ter, third for Birmingham and Glasgow, and
so on for the whole of the chief towns. When
not engaged at the instruments, the girls en-
ploy Themselves with needlework or reading
The room is in charge of matron. The com
pensation ranges from los. to 25s. ($2 so to
S6.25) per week. Ten hours constitute davis
work. A period of six weeks is sufficient to
learn the whole process of telegraphing, but
longer practice is required to impart efficiency
and rapidity of execution There is a kitchen
in which the young ladies cook their dinners,
and servant to wait upon them, with lava.
tory and other appliances for their comfort and
convenience. The access to the room is by
staircase exclusively devoted to the ladies. and

REUNION OF THE METHODIST CHURCH.-We
perceive (says the Baltimore American) that
the subject of reunion Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, North and South, is being ex-
tenslve.y discussed in the various papers of
the Church, and the present year being the
Centenniary Anniversary of Methodism in the
United States, is regarded as the most fitting
time for its accomplishment. The recent Ma.
tional Convention held by the lay-preachers of
the Methodist Episcopal connection in this
city, had the subject under consideration, and
took some measures for testing its practicable
lty. a correspondent of the Richmond Chris
tian Advocate, signing himself "A Baltimo-
rean, takes up the question in a vigorous and
practical manner, and submits q plan as init
atory to the development of some scheme which
may be fraught with practical results. He pro-
poses the assemblage of Conference of Re-
union the delegates to which to be elected
by each and every Annual Conference, so that
every section and shade of opinion in the coun-
try shall be represented. The delegates to
consist OF both clerical and lay delegates and
TO meet IN some central city near the border
line of the two Churches, (say Washington
city, and after mature deliberation and due
consideration, report plan for reunion, to be
submitted to all the Conferences for ratifca-
tlon- III the plan proposed should fail to re-
ceIve the approval of two-thirds of the Confer
ence In the NJ. f. Church North, and two
thlrds OF the Conference in the NJ. E. Church
South. then such plan should be null and void,
and OF no effect On the other hand, it is sug-
gestsd that if the plan proposed should receive
the approval of two-thirds of all the Confer
encss of each Church, then reunion should be
declared effected according to whatever plan
the Conference may have proposed.

We observe that the dinner dress demi.nep-

dinner Of great ceremony. Velvet and satin
are the favOrite materials for dinner dress: the
colors most worn are violet, green, and grew.
They are trimmed with lace, passementerie,
and plaits OF beads; but moire and silk are still
worn, and elegantly trimmed with ruchings of
lace and silk. -
Bonnets are gradually increasing in size,
and are worn over the forehead, and wide at
the sides. The materials are the same as were
worn last month-crape for visits of ceremony:
silk, or velvet and silk. Casoar feathers and
even the ends of peacock's feathers, are yery
fashionable for trimmings.
A very simple but charming head dress is
formed with plait of gold carried round the
hair, and tied in two long bows at the top, the
ends trimmed with tassels or gold balls, falling
behind the bannesu, or tied at the nape of the
neck. Plaits of gold and silver, mixed with
velvet or lace, form a very pretty head-dress
for i-toilette; and nets of chenille or gold
are still in great favor.-Le Toilet.

THE LADIES OF PHILADELPHIA, BOSTON. BAL
TIMoRE, AND NEW YORK.-''Burleigh, the
correspondent of the Boston Journal, writing
from Philadelphia, March Z says:
In no one thing do Boston, New York,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore so much disagree
as IN the appearance Of the ladies as they walk
out on the daily promenade. Boston and Phil
adelphia are somewhat alike. The dresses of
the ladies are rich but not snowy. In Phila-
delphia the staid Quaker look abounds. The
ladies are intellectual looking, but plain. They
all have pale, sallow look, as if raised in the
shade; and as body they are far from hand
some A pretty woman on the sidewalk of
Chestnut street is rare sight. But Baltimore
is Hooded with beautiful women. 1t may be in
the climate-it may be from the style of dress
1T may be because they-no matter what-but
the ladies of Baltimore drift along Baltimore
street In droves of beauty. while the decided
snowy and often gaudy colors worn attract
attention; and this is not one or two instances,
but dozens and dozens pass you all of one style
OF beauty, and the eye is dszzled with the
numbers. But the ladies of New York are
heterogeneous. The crowd that floats along
Broadway is immense; but no two took alike
no two dress alike. The rich the poor. the
belle, the domestic, the native, the foreign,
the elegant, the homely-all mingle and blend
the picture, so that one only sees a vast mass
OF moving creatures, having no distinct form OF
character. In dress the New York ladies
overload themselves, and the ornaments seem
cumbrous and not elegant. If they wear
plumes they load themselves down like an
ostrich. If they put on furs, they pile them ur
till they seems like porters carrying home
goods. If they put on jewelry, they wear it as
if their husbands manufactured the article
and it was needful for them to become stand
from which it is to be displayed The same i.
seen IN the dwellings, where the gaudiness OF
the steamboat and the tinsel of the circus seem
to be the standard Of taste adopted. The New
York ladies could learn a lesson that would be
of great service to them, from the ladies Of
Boston or Baltimore

One Against Three.

The real, tql issue involved in the present Pres-
dental contest is, whether not the Constitution Of
the United STATES confers, expressly by. implica-
ton, authority upon any executive any Judiciary or
any legislative body, either to prohibit the slave
holder from the full and perfect enjoyment of his
slave property in a territory to require the
Shareholder to put himself footing with the free
negroes, if he goes into the territory. The party
| supporting BRECKENRIDGE and LANE affirm and main
tain that no such authority conferred but on the
contrary that it is the duty of every department of
the Federal Government to project the Southern man
in territory in his rights of person and of property,
and that this protection be effected only
against the abOlitonist residing in Northern State,
but also against the aboltionst ,oho may be IN the
territory where The STAKEHOLDER happens to reside.
For if the Government will protect the stakeholder
in demanding the restitution Of his slave in free
Slate, where there is well determined local sover-
eighty, how much more is it duty to protect in a
territory in which there is no local sovereignty.
To this position of the BRECKNRTDGE party each
and all the other Presidential candidates are OPP
posed, LINCOLN, DOUGLAS and BELL all agreeing that
in one way or another, in conformity to the Consti-
ton, STAKEHOLDER may be prohibited from enjoying
the service ofhs slave in a territory.
LINCOLN and his party hold not only that the Con-
sttution coIerS upon Congress authority to enact
that the STAKEHOLDER shall not enter Territory but
that It is the duty of Congress- under the Constitution
to SO legislate in every instance.
BELL and his party hold that Congress may con-
stitutonally egislate tc exclude the slavehod
from the Territories; but silent as to the "dld
of Congress in the premises, and just so far, and
only so far, they behind the LINCOLN party.
DOUGLAS and his party hold that in pursuance of
the Constitution and regardless of its Interpretation
by the Supreme Court Territorial Legislature NAV
exclude the stakeholder from the Territory; and
they too silent TO the duty of the Territorial
Legislature in the premises.
We thus have the four parties each protesting to
abide by the Constitution. While one interprets it so
that its Interpretation harmonizes with the decis-
ion of the Supreme Court, and with the equality of
States well citizens, the other three parties
agree that there is in the Constitution source of au-
thority which may be used to destroy this equality
Agreeing in this radical error, though differing some
what as to the manner in which This power may be
exercised they alike, the lrih the Other I'M
worthy the support of every citizen who believes
that the Constitution is worth maintaining. S.
