New Style of New Years Calls

As the custom of calling on New
Years day prevails in our smaller
towns, as well as in the large cities
and as the fashion of the latter rules
that of the former, the following new
style OF New Years Calls. frouf The
Nov York Evening Post may inter

"There is an insilicus foe in the
Geld. With astonishment and pain
we have lerused circular. announe

good men should unite tn iiscounte

long, sending their cards to church.
Perhaps, in some cases, it might

queen of his soul. to make her an
honorable and ardent offer of mar

Triumph of the Telegraph--From Cal
ifornia to Ireland and Back in two
Minutes.
The New York Journal of the Telegraph of
February l. says:
At an early hour this morning the wires OF
the Western Union Telegraph Company from
San Francisco to Plaster Cove, Cape Breton,
and the wires of the New York, Newfound-
land, and London Telegraph Company from
Plaster Cove to Hearts Content, were con-
nected, and brisk conversation commenced
between these two continental extremes. Com
pliments were then passed between San Fran
cisco and Vaentia, Ireland, when the latter
announced that a message was Just then being
received from London direct. This was said
at 7:20 A. NJ, Valentia time, February l. AT
7:21 A. NJ, Vaentia time, the London message
was started from Vaentia for San Francisco (;
passed through New York at 2:95 A. NJ, New
York time; was received in San Francisco at
Il:2l P. NJ, San Francisco time, January 81,
and was at once acknowledged-the whole
process occupying two minutes actual time,
and the distance traversed about IA, 900 miles
Immediately after the transmission of the
message referred to the operator at San Fran
cisco sent an eighty-word message TO Hearts
Content in three minutes, which the operator
at Hearts Content repeated back in two min
utes and fifty seconds. Distance about 5000
miles

The Mission to England.

Hon Charles Francis Adams, who mas been
for years Minister to England, has resigned his
position, and IS coming home. Speculation is
already afoat as to his successor, and among
Others the name Of Senator johnson Of Mary
land has been given. The eminent quahfca-
tons of this gentleman for such trust are
universally admitted, but, as has been we'll re-
marked the President and the great conser-
yative element Of the country would be 10th
to dispense with the presence in the Senate, in
the trying times before US, of such a ripe con-
stitutona. lawyer and statesman"
It is matter of surprise to Ms that the State
Of Maryland should have agreed to dispense
with the services Of such man as Reyerdy
johnson, whose severe logic has given the
Radicals of the Senate no little trouble on cues
tons Of constitutional construction. It's true
we found fallt with the position Of Mr. john
son on the Reconstruction measures, but this
is but a single spot upon the brightness Of his
Senatorial career.
It was at one time thought that the Presi-
dent would send Mr.. Jobnson's name to the
Senate as successor to Secretary Stanton-a
nomination which could not we'll be rejected by
the Senate, except upon the merest partisan
grounds-but this has not been done for the
reasons already suggested.

Berkeley County Items.

From the Berkeley Union of last week we
take the following extracts
ARREST OF A BURGLAR.-For the informa-
ton of our readers, we would state that the
person who robbed George Sharer's store on
Sunday night the 18th ult., and who robbed
George Blessings house on Sunday night in
September last has been arrested, and tue
proof as to his guilt is stronger than positive
evidence Strange tosay, both burglaries were
committed on Sunday night and about the
same time of night, whilst the people were at
church, and small piece of tallow candle was
left at each of the places, thus showing that
the same head planned and the same hand ex-
ecuted the crime. We have reasons for with
holding his name at present.
RUN AwAY.-A team belonging to Mr..
Levi Daley, and driven by Floria Maloney,
run away on Monday last, and threw him out
between the horses, though, catching hold Of
the tongue of the wagon and one Of the single
trees, he was dragged for nearly half mile,
being cut and bruised severely, but not dan
gerousy, when his hold broke and fell to the
ground, the wheels not striking him.
OFF THE TRAcK.-The fast line East was
thrown from the track on Saturday morning
last, by the breaking of one of the iron rails
Several persons were slightly wounded, and
the Baggage Master very seriously, he having
one of his legs broken, his car as we'll as
others, was Utterly torn to pieces.
Since writing the above, we learn that Mr..
Owings, the baggage-master, died from injuries
received.

Appropriations.

Mr.. Blaine, a Radical member OF the House
Of Representatives, in reporting from the Com
mittee Of Appropriations several Of the annual
bills. boasted somewhat Of the great reductions
about to be made
The amount Tor the army is SSS,OS2, O9S !;
adding the ordinary expenses Of the govern
ment the whole amount Of the appropriations

nary appropriations, for pensions about $780,
600 1000, and for bountes to soldiers and sailors
$4,000, 600. Altogether the necessary appro-
priations for the fiscal year ls6S-69 will be A
bout S275,9l2,O47.
The reader might as well know, in this con-
nection. that about seven millions Of the above
will be required for support Of the Negro Blu
reau.
