To-morrow is r.ew year’s day. We give
something of its ancient origiD, customs

upon the old year aud forward into the

On Ihe establishment of Christianity,
the usage of a solemn inauguration of the

variety prevailed both as to the time and
manner of its celebration.

Iu many countries the New Year’s Eve,
S(: - Sylvester's Eve, was celebrated with
great festivity, which was prolonged until
after moonlight, when the New Year was
ushured in with congratulations, compd’
meutary visits and mental wishes foi a
Happy New Year. This is an ancient,
Scottish custom, which also prevails in
many parts of Germany, where the form

custom.

Negro Ball—A Superlative Nuisance.
Wo calx the attention of the city author
ities to the fact that negro balls are be¬
coming a positive nuisance of the most
a u!ioyiug character to the neighborhood
j a which they are given and the anthori

turbauce of quiet citizens. Yel.ing, shout

R is impossible to sleep when such noises I
are allowed iu the heart of the city, aud j
a,j bours. Two nights now in less than
a week balls have been given in the corner
store of the Muscogee Home building.
The noise was liko that of au imugiutd
pandemonium. A large number of rooms
over-head are occupied by gentlemen.
With such infernal noises below slumber
was an inpossibility. If they would man¬
age a ball like decent people, no com
plaiat would be made; but when they
raise tho confusion of demons, and dis
turb the stillness and make night hideoua
with abominable fuss, it is full time such
balls should be presented as a nuisance,
and the owners of such places as proprie¬
tors of disorderly houses. This will be
certainly done, if the business continues

nect ihe Atlantic with the Mississippi at
New Orleans by land lock navigation on

its waters. Its cost will be reasonable
and its benefits immense, not only to the

officer, who has investigated the real accouuts

in making his complaint, by the refrain

evidence against Gen. Howard, it is said,
