WASHINGTON CITY:
! UESDAY...........D nm her re, IS7l.

Christmas was very generally and as a rule
very appropriately observed yesterday, though,
We regret to say, an unusual amount Of
e. unkt nness was visible on the Streets and there
was little or no falling off IN the foolish and
dangerous rse Of fire crackers and pistols. The
Prastice of giving presents seems to be growing
every year, both in extent of observance and ex-
Hayagance in the cost of gifts. This latter
feature is to be regretted, since it places many
persons in the predicament of taxing themselves
beyond their means il they undertake to renem-
Der all who feel that they ought to be thus re-
membered. or Of being considered miserly or
selfish If they do not do so. Besides the fashion
OF giving costly presents often leads their recip-
tents TO esteem them according to their intrinsic
value, and sometimes to indulge in comparisons
which are as unjust as they are improper,-for-
getting that liberality is not at all matter of
quantity, but purely one of proportion. Far
letter the good old times, when gifts were few
and simple, when they were valued for the
giver, and not because they were tsndsomer
than somebody else's, or represented so much in
dollars and cents on the invoice books of the
dealer.

The pressure for appointment to positions in

In view Of the tipsiness Yesterday it is to be
hoped that the ladies viii not set out spirituous
liquors in supplying refreshments to their call
ers on New Years day. Last year there was an
EFFORT in this direction to discourage the use of
wine, punch, &c, at refreshment tables, BY
the substitution of chocolate and coffee, and the
results were very satisfactory. The ladies were
saved SO much anneyane from maudlin hic
euping visitors that they will doubtless be very
willing 10 make the reform general.

The continued decline in gold canno; be accounted
are probably several causes that are exercising
nearly an equsi influence. Amous those which
have tax en- place is the outflow OF specie from the
United States Treasury In redemption Of the

creased demand for circulating capital to move the
Gotten and hog crops. This operates both 60 dis

the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of our good old mother,

has been no change or variableness. Yet it
