The Division OF Time.

AS is we'll known, the mcthods OF
dividing time vary in different parts
of the world. The Chinese hcgilr tt,cir
day at midnight, and end it on the
midnight following, divide the inter
val into twelve hours, each equal to
two Of ours, and known by Il name and
particular figure. In the Turkish en-
pire time is rcconed by certain portions
Of the day, resembling the "watchcs''
Of the ancient Jews and Romans. Pub
lie clocks not being in Use, these divis-
ions of the day differed widely from
the customs OF our time. thaidraus,
Syrians, Persians and Indians, began
the day at sunrise, and divided the
day and night into four parts. The di-
vision of tho day into quarters was in
use long before the division into hours.
# was only after tho first sut dial was
brought from i.hAnia, in Sicily. to
Rome, that tn" E"tat,< Divided the
days into TWEEN :y-inlW hours. rhny
called the time he. w"tn til" rising and
the setting Of til" :'uu the natural day:
and the time lit he N+HIS-iOur hours
tue civil day. They began and ended
the civil day at midnight, and took
this practice from their ancient laws,
and customs and rites of religious Use,
long before they had any idea OF the
division into hours. The Greeks di-
yided the day into twelve hours--a
practice derived from the Bahylonians
while i'll Egypt the day WAS divided
jute unequal intervals of time.

After his ordination he was assigned as assistant
pastor At St. james church in this city, one OF the
most thickly populated parishes OF the metropolis,

suited in his death Recently he took trip to Ire

was assigned by the present Archbishop TO build q
church at Fort Washington From thence he was
assigned the pastoral care OF Cold Spring, where
he died. The funeral yesterday was attended by a
concourse OF people, st. James church being
crowded to the doors. A large number OF the
clergy were present upon the occasion, including
Rev. Benjamin O'Calaghan, brother OF deceased.

Apollo Hall and the Custom house, and the
Committee Of Seventy runs third candidate
