THE EVENING TELEGRAM AND THE FOREIGN MARKET.
1t will be gratifying information to business men, not
only in Wall street but throughout the country that
Eangements have been made whereby the public will
daily receive the last European advices through the
Evening Telegram which is circulated twelve O'Clock
noon. Special dispatches will record the course of the
several markets abroad, and there will be event of
foreign importance that will not be fully described In

vantage may accrue therefrom. We note for instance
that the Bank of England gained f102 600 of bullion on
balance to-day. The prices of securities specially

THE NEW YEAR.

While NewYear's day is but a. fictitious starting
point in life, custom gives it an air OF reality. 1t
is sentiment only, but tradition has caused 1t
it to speak "with most miraculous organs"
Each day is the. starting point as truly as the
lst of January, but the copcet that the New
Year definitely marks fresh stage of progress
il one which we all encourage, and it is not TN
pleasing. 1t is, for one thing, restful it breaks
up little the moaotony of the treadmill of the
circuit which often seems to have no beginning
or.end To be able to say "Well, all that is gone
now is over and done, the account closed, the
book locked up and the key lost here l COM
mence gafresh, with no arrearages and with life
new before me"-all this, while deluson, is,
after sort comforting. 1t is mans protest
against perpetual motion.
Still, no one can properly appreciate the cele-
bration who does not realize that the new year
is perennial instead of an annual Good res
olutions made only on January 1st, and because
custom has declared that the proper tine for
turning over new leaf" are not likely to
amount to much. That alone can affect our lives
for good which is present with us all the days Of
the year.
We are more than usually ready at this time
to accept the promise OF the future. The year
1874 WAS hard year for many of us. We see it
pass without regret. From how many Thousand
troubled spirits to-day will arise the prayer that
1875 may be more kind Let us hope that
1t will DO prove that it will bring
restored prosperity, a reawakening of indus
tries and manufactures, plentiful demands for
labor, and all the blessings which wait upon
fairly-requted toll. And there is the best of
reason for believing that it will. The "hard
times" have nearly run their course, and all the
indications are in the direction of reviving trade
and of consequent social ease and comfort. II
with this the judgment of our rulers shall pre-
serve national and international peace, the year
opening to-day will be one of the most brilliant
and substantial in our annals. In expressing
the earnest hope and belief that it may be, we
wish our readers hearty Happy New Year =.

Presidential Housekeeping at the
White House.


A Washington letter to the Boston Globe says:
There has always, been apopular misapprehen-
sion concerning the cost of living in the Execu-
tive Mansion. Previous to the war; when every
thing was cheaper than now, it was seldom sug-
gested that the Presidents salary of s25, 600 a
year was inadequate to his support. Quite a
number of the ahtebellum Presidents retired
from office comparatively poor. Their poverty
was almost uniformly due to their want of tact
and shrewdness in the management of their pri-
Vate affairs, or to their utter want of apprecia-
ton OF the value Of money. or tho former,
Thomas Jefferson was notable illustration and
Franklin Pierce of the latter. have heard
Colonel Forney, the intimate friend of Pierce all
through his administration, say that the New
Hampshire statesman was frequently known to
give money out of his own pocket to mendicant
offce-seekers when he could not secure them a
place at the public crib. His successor, Jas.
Buchanan. with his shrewd, thrifty Pennsylvania
training, knew the value OF ten cents-you

New Year versus C.i,tmas GIFT

Though the Christmas trees is now SO firmly
planted in our soil as to seem indigenous here,
it il really only German exotic, comparatively
but a few years acclimated amongst us the
custom of giving Christmas gifts being mod
ern innovation upon the time honored custom
of giving congratulatory presents at the opening
of the New Year. In Germany even, though
st. Nicholas, the patron saint Of children has
long been honored by such distribution of gifts
to the little folks, the Saints day was formerly
kept OH the 9Th of November, at which time it is
still honored in Holland, specially devoted to
Santa Claus, though elsewhere it has been made
movable feast.
New Years gifts, on the contrary, have very
ancient origin, the custom having first been for
mally established, it is said, by Fabius, the Sa-
bine king, who ruled conjointly with Romulus
from which time it was populary OBJ
served through all the Empire down to
christian times, preserving its popularity down
to the days Of which some of us can well recall
the exciting joy Of rising at untimely hours,
stealthiy creeping down stairs in the dark at the
cost OF frequent collisions and bruises, to way
lay late risers and shrek out New Years Gift +
thus involving the payment of some pleasant
forfeit. 1t is only in very old fashioned districts
that the custom still fingers, Christmas having
pushed the other festival day from its ancient
theme. 1t would be pity to pluck one leaf
from the christmas tree, 30 dear to childish
hearts, but one may feel little regret for de-
sire of those tokens of friendship and oongratu-
lation which had 30 peculiar fitness at the COM
mencement II the new division OF time. The
Romans called such gifts "Streum" or
''strengtheners. The only strengtheners now
popular are those which are absorbed in the
course of round of New Year calls which, in
the end, are generally found to tend rather to
weakness than strength.
