ION Christmas eve the bells We're rung;
On Christmas eve the mass was sung;
That only night, in all the year,
Saw the stoled priest the chalice rear.
Then opened wide the baron'S hall,
10 Vassal, tenant, Serf, and all;
Power laid his rod of rule aside,
And ceremony dotted his pride.
The heir, with roses in his shoes,
That night might village partner choose.
All hailed with uncontrolled delight
And general voice, the happy night
That To the cottage, as the crown,
Brought tidingS of salvation down.

TnE BANK oF CALiroRNIA.- Should the
Bank of California resume business and dis.
charge all its obligations in full, it will be
anomaly in the history of such affairs. It is
usual, when the these explosions occur, to
make all manner of promises, to alleviate
the indignation and excitement, but they are
rarely if ever. kept, from the, simple reason
that it is impossible to do so. Banks do not
fail for any trivial causes they fight of i'm
pending ruin for years 10y every device

when they succumb, they are pretty apt to be

Bank of California may resume, if there can
be found fnancier of sufficient ability to
inspire confidence, who will take hold of its
affairs. II was grand moneymaking ma
chine, and its failure takes away an impor.
tant part Of the income Of prominent capt.
talists Of that section. The statement that
the assets of the bank are largely in excess
of its Indebtedness. is hardly to be relied on.
These assets, it is fair to assume, are very
largely made up of the stock and paper Of
the various manufacturing and mining en-
terprisos, Of which the bank was so strong
patron and promoter. aud while the face

FAST MArLs.-Truly we live in fast era,
and rapid transit, II would seem, has reached
its utmost limits. A train has been put on
the New York Central and Hudson River
railroad, to run between New York and
Chicago, which ran ON It's first trip TO Al.
bany in three hours and twenty minutes, and
on its return trip from Chicago, made
bursts OF speed >" up 10 seveuty-two miles
an hour. These trains convey the mails be-
tween New York aud Chicago, the latter
city having general distributing post office
for the northwest A train from New York
by way Of Philadelphia, IIarrisburgh and
Cincinnati, to St. Louis, has been started,
and fierce rivalry in this new branch Of
rapid traasit may be expected. The cities
Of st. Louis and Chicago will try to outdo
each other in postal facilities, as they have
in other things. A fast line to the South is
announced, 10y which the morning mail from
New York will reach Washington at noon
in season for the opening of the sessions Of
Congress. The postmaster-genera to whom
great credit is due for his enterprise, says
that this system of lightning trains will not
be additional expense to the government
This system of rapid communication will
have a tendency TO unite more closely the
different sections Of the country, and one
element Of national weakness, arising from
the extent Of our broad domain, will be re-
moved.

The new cable having been completed and
put in perfect working idcr the other lines
made haste TO announce that on Wednesday
last thcrptc. would be reduced from fifty to
twenty-five cents per word. So much for
thi. fresh CONF otitIon.
The company to which the public is in
debted for this reduction in transatlantic
telegraph rates was organized three years
ago, with capital Of five million dollars
Its line extends from the Irish coast TO Rye
Beach, New Hampshire. In the prosecution
of its important enterprise the company has
encountered many serious obstacles. The
old companies have the exclusive right to
land cables in Newfoundland so that this
new company was denied the privilege. and
must seek a landing elsewhere Then, there
was an msupcrablc difficulty in the way Of
securing the services Of the Great Eastern,
as the other companies controlled it, The
new company must, therefore, construct
steamship for the purpose. But the enor.
nous expense of the Great Eastern, and the
great length Of time required in construct
ing it, prccluded the idea Of building q yes
sci of that dimension. notwithstanding the
superiority Of one which, like that gigantic
craft, could take ON board an entire ocean
cable and steam directly across the ocean
with it,
The Faaday. a steamship Of seven thou.
sand tons about ouc-fourth the size Of the
Great Eastern was, therefore, built. Being
completed and equipped, it began its task
in june Of last year The cable was divided
into three scctions-one stretching out from
the Irish coast one from the American. and
the middle or connecting section-each Of
which was as much as the Faraday could
manage at one time. The shore sections
being layed and buoycd, the connection was
completed, only to find that the cable had
parted somewhere on the oceans bed imme-
diately theunion was made. But the broken
line were finished up and repaired, while
other defects that rendered it practically
useless were removed by further labor. and
thus the new line was put in working order
The company, it is stated, has sunk all its
capital literally sunk it in the sea. But
those who patronize ocean cables will not
forget that 10 this line is due the fact of the
great reduction in rates. Unless this wire,
like the French line. should be bought up
10y The other companies, the reduction is
likely to be permanent, and tend to put
prices down still lower.

The CorroN Cnor.-The department Of
agriculture reports the condition of cotton
better in September than in August, in Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana and Arkansas, and worse
ON the Atlantic coast and in Alabama and
Texas. The prevalent drouths of July were
succeeded by rains in August, which were
too copious for the best results in the Mis-
sissippi valley, and quite injurious in the
heavy soils of the Eastern Belt, causing
vast shedding Of leaves and fruit, and to some
extent rotting the lower bolls. There is a
rank growth, which will yield largely with a
favorable and long autumn season.
