ING STAR." EVENIN ANSWER to the Enigma in yesterday’s Star: “ Daily Washingtoa Evening Star. [HPA clerk in a mercantile establishment writes to his friends at home—‘‘Plaguey easy time now-a-days—very little work to do—our firm don’t advertise.”’ Novet Eating Saroon —At Maidstone, England, there is aswimming club, containing 79 members, all first-rate swimmers, who en- joy themselves, as the following notice tells us, in a style to suit ‘* temperance’ men—‘‘ Tho first aquatic breakfast is to take place on Mon- day next, at seven o'clock, when every member will be requested to partake of the repast in the river.” Cold ducks are not bad for breakfast, any how. Tae Tew: APH AND THE WaAr.—One of the most sugz e facts in connection with the Eastern war, is the use to which the telegraph, eminently an iuvention of peace, has beon put. In the great European struggle, which ended with the exile of Napoleon, days and even weeks elapsed before some of the most impor- tant events were known in Paris or London. ‘The news of Waterloo took a longer time to reach the British capital than the news of the fall of Sebastopol. The news of Moscow, Abou- kir and the Pyramids was a week, a fortnight, and a month old respectively, on arriving at Paris. But the intelligence of the capturo of the Malakoff was at the Tuilleries and St. James, though distant from Sebastopol the length sf an entire continent, while the sky was still red with the conflagration of the town, while the magazines were stiil exploding, while the retreating Russians were still thronging ever the bridge. Almost, indeed, before the bombs had ceased to hum through the heavens, or the hissing of the round shot had given way to the roar of burning houses, the people, in Londen aad Paris, were shouting over the vic- tory, and the church-bells of England were moring, from land’s end teland’send. [t is an event like thia which makes men realize what the magnetic telegraph is.—Philadel- para Ledger. SS PLUVEMENTS OF OCEAN STEAMERS. FROM THE UNITED STATES. Name. Leaves for Day.
