ANCIENT DIyISlONs, OF THE DAY.

The Chaldeans, Syrians. Persiap'
and Indians began the day at sunrise
and divided the day and night into fou'
parts. This division Of, the day into
quarters was in use long before the di
vision into hours.
The Chinese, who begin their day a,
midnight, and reckon to the midnish,
following, divided the interval into
twelve hours, each equal to tive. Of ours
and known BY a name and particular

In Egyp. the day was divided into
unequal hours. The e clock" invented
by Ctesibius,' - Of Alexandra. B. c, 250,
was. so coutrived as to lengthen OF
shorten the hours by the flowing of wa

The Greeks divided the natural day in
to twelve hours-a practice derived from
tNc DdpE ioHldus.
The Romans called the time between
the rising and setting sun. the natural
day; and the time in the twenty four
hours, the civil day. They began and
ended their civil day at midnight. and
took this practice from their ancient laws
and customs, and rites Of religion. in use
long before they had any idea of the di-
visions into hours.
The first sun.dial seen at Rome was
brought from Santana, in Sicily. in the
First Punic War, as part Of the spoils
OF that city and after this period they
divided the day into twenty-four hours.
An officer, called .Aeeensus. used to pro-
claim the hours aud at the bench of jus

THE FIRST TEA.

California has added another to the
long list of productions that her soil and
climate are capable of producing. The
foot-hill can produce the tea tree, and the
experiment of Herr Schnell at his plan
tation in Ell Dorado county, on the red
hills near Gold Hill, in growing fine
article of tea, has been grand success
and the first crop of tea has been drunk
and pronounced by good judges to be
fully equal, if not superior, to the best
tea imported. His plantation is IN excel
lent order. and numerous japanese plants
are thriving finely, and his Japs are well
pleased with the country, and are indus
trious and frugal. and this experiment
will prove the long neglected foot hills
to be the most desirable lands in the
state. With tea, silk, wheat, and the
vine, California can and will become in
time one Of the richest states in the
Union.-Fdlson Cal Te1es,aph. D. p

CAMELS IN NEVADA.

From the Virginia City Enterprise, .l.r
On ranch on the Carson river, eight
miles below the mouth Of Six mile Can
yon. and about seventeen miles east of
the ,city, is to be seen q herd Of twenty
six camels, all but two of which were
born and raised in this State. But two
of the old herd Of nine or ten brought
here some years ago are now living. 1t
would seem that the original lot fell into
the hands Of Mexicans, who treated them
very badly. overlooking and abusing
them. The men who now have them
are Frenchmen and men, it seems, who
had formerly some experience with cam
els in Europe. They find no difficulty
in rearing them, and can now show
twenty-four fine healthy animals. all Of
Washoe growth. The camel may now
be said to be thoroughly acclimated in
this State. The owners of the herd find
it no more difficult to breed and rear
them than would be experienced with the
same number of goats or donkeys. The
rancho upoa which they are kept is sandy
and sterile in the extreme, yet the ami
mails feast and grow fat on such prickly
shrubs and bitter weeds as no other ami.
NAL would touch. When left to them
selves their great delight, after filling
themselves with the coarse herbage of
the desert, is to lie and roll on the hot
sand. They are used in packing salt to
the mills on the river from the m arshes
lying in the deserts some sixty miles to
the eastward They have animals that
easily pack l,10o pounds. Irr.a asuIp1

ABOUT A PONY.

An almost unparalleled circumstance
was noticed at Muirhall, near West Cal.
der. During the great heat that prevail
ed in the summer. an Iceland pony, the
property of Mr.. John Waddell, contract
or, was. for time, left to his own free
will during the temporary absence of its
driver. The pony which had been driy-
en- tor considerable distance, and was
seemingly actuated by craving for wa
ter. was observed by the proprietor Of
Muirhall. and others who CHANGED to be
in the vicinity, to deliberately walk a dis
tance of full fifty yards, and with its
teeth turn the cock Of aewater-pipe pro-
iecting out of the road embankment, sup
ply itself with draught of the refreshing
beverage. readjust the cock, and return
to the position in whichit was left
This case is not only paralleled, but sur
passed, by one that occurred at Leeds in
1854. A gentieman's horse was regu-
larly turned into field where there wasa
pufnp, the water of which never failed. The
horse observed how the pump worked,
and at last took to pumping for himself; t;
thus saving the groom the trouble Of
providing him with water. diHis mode
of procedure was to take the handle of
the pump between his teeth, and pump
away until the trough was full. Mr..
Weir has given us life-like picture Of
this incident. which is. undoubtedly, one
of the most curious in all the history Of
