Indiana LEGISLATURE.

We notice among the proceedings of
the Indiana Legislature, that a Mr.. Sher-
rod has introduced some resolutions de-
famatory Of Gen. Taylor and eulogislic
Of Gen. Lane. The language used in
reference to the former is said to be high
ly disrepectful and insulting. When
they were taken up for consideration
Mr.. Reed proposed the following as an
amendment:
"ResoIred, That the foregoing reso
lutions are direct insult to the people
Of this State, libel upon the Presiden,
of the United States, and disgrace to
this Legislature.
The resolution, on motion of Mr.
Carnahan, of p, was laid upon the ta-
ble,-yeas As, nays SO.
Mr.. Reed offered second amend
ment as follows:
Resolved, Tha. Col. w. A. Bowles,
staunch Democrat, Is a fit candidate
for Governor Of his party; that though
he may have exhibited some unfortunate
symptoms Of the want of moral and
physical courage at Buena Vista, he has
redeemed his reputation OH recent oc-
casion by a glorious victory over a GER
tain Doctor of Orange county. DIR.
Sherrod, tl.s nouer Of the original res.
oiution, 0hom he chastised, some time
ago.
This amendment was also laid on the
table; and after some further proceedings,
the original resolution was laid upon the
table.-N. Louis Rep.

Beginning or the Year i'm Vari-
OuS Nations. ......


The Chaldeans' and Egyptians year
was dated from the autumnal equinox.
The ecclesiastical year of the Jews oe-
gan in the spring; but in civil affairs
they retain the epoch Of the Egyptian
year. The ancient Chinese reckoned
from the new moon nearest the middle
ofH Aquarius. The year of Romulas
commenced in March, and that of Nu-
ma in January. The Turks and Arabs
date their wear from the l6th Of July
Drems> hid, or Gemschild, King of Per-
sia, observed, on the day Of his public
entry into Persepolis, that the sun en-
tered into Aries; and in commemoration
of this fortunate event, he ordained the
beginning of the year to be removed
from the autumnal to the vernal equinox.
The BrachInun begin their year with the
new moon in April. The Mexicans be-
gin in February. when tae leaves begin
to grow green. Their year consists Of
eighteen months, having twenty days in
each; the last five are spent in mirth, and
no business is suffered to be done, nor
even any service in the temples. The
Abyssinans have five idle days at the
end of their year, which commences on
the 26lh of August. The American In
dians reckon from the first appearance of
The moon at the vernal equinox. The
Mahommedans oegin their year the min
ute in which the sun enters Aries. The
Venitians, Florentines, and the Pisans,
in Italy, began the year at the vernal
equinox. The French year, during the
reign OF the Merovingian race, began on
the day on which the troops were re-
viewed. which was the lst of March
Under the Carlovingians, i: began on
Christmas-day, and under the Capetiaus
on yesterday. The ecclesiastical be-
gins on the first Sunday in Advent
Charles TX. appointed, in 1864, that for
the future the civil year should COM
mence on the lst of January. Inc Ju-
lian calender, which was so called from
julius Caesar, and is the old account of
the year, was reformed by Pope Grego-
ry. in 1882, which plan was suggested
by Lewis Lilo, Calabrian astronomer.
The Dutch, and the Protestants in Ger
many, introduced the new style in 1900.
The ancient clergy reckoned from the
25th of March; and the method was OBJ
served in Britain until the introduction
of the new style, A. d. 1852; after
which our year CONNER ced on the first
Of January.

From the Literary American.
IS. CONTRAST

BETWEEN EUROPEAN AND ORIENTAL CUSTOMS.
person accustomed to European
customs would be somewhat surprised if
suddenly introduced into Turkey. 1t
seems as if in almost every respect the
habits of the Orientals are opposite to
those of Western nations. Let us look
at some Of them.
In the West, the ladies dress in gay
colors, and expose their necks and arms.
They are not allowed to call on gentfe-
men, and hardly look at them, If they are
strangers. The gentleman is to pay his
addresses to the lady. He usually wears
dark colors, and his person Is entirely
covered. His dress is tight to the rorm,
while ladies wear loose gowns.
In Turkey, on the other hand, the
men wear gay eolors, and the women
are confined to sober black and white.
The women wear trowsers, while the
men are arrayed in loose robes. They
have leap year all the time; for the ladies'
always have the privilege of calling on
the other sex, and making advances to
them. ...... .--... ....... n.s.
In many Western States criminals are
marked by shaving the head; among the
Asiatic Turks, it is custom with all
classes. a
Among us the schoolmaster is amena-
BILE to the parent: in the East, the parent
acknowledges the teachers authority,
and does not punish his child without
consulting that dignitary.
Here servant is obliged to- bring
recommendation TO the person. hiring him;
there the servant requires evidences of
respectabii.y from the master.
Dancing is practiced among US as
refined and agreeable recreation; the.
turks regard it as disgraceful in the ex-,
treme.
We enter our churches with uncover
ed heads; the Turk goes into his Mosque
with uncovered feet. We take off our
glove before shaking hands, as a sign of
respect; the Turk, in the presence of a
superior, conceals his bare hand under
his garment.
Among US, ladies are admired for their
symmetry of shape, and delicate forms;
in Turkey, the fatter woman is the
more she is admired. Bellies of three
hundred weight are not uncommon.
we might go on, and enumerate many
more points of difference. We have
mentioned enough, however, to show
how diverse are the traits of character in
different nations, and how these traits are
developed in directly opposite habits.

BRAvE IRrsHMAN-An Ir;shma,

A BRAVE IRIsHMAN. Irishman,
who was soldier of the revolution, and
of Warren's brigade, was suddenly stop
ped near Boston by party. during a
dark night, a horseman's pistol was pre-
senied to his breast, and he was asked
to which side he belonged. The snppo-
si,ion that it might be British party,
