GENERAL ITEMs.-The Sacramento cor.
respondent of the Alta says Hager in the
Senate will gather all the laurels for the
California reform movement, and pass
them over to the Democracy. In the
California Legislature, up to the adjourn
ment for the holidays, two United States
Senators were elected, and one concur
rent resolution and eleven bills were
passed and approved by the Governor
bill for the relief of the widow of DR..
Thomas, who was murdered by the Mo-
docs. The Los Angeles Herald wants a
railroad built from that place to Phoebe.
A bill is to be introduced in Congress to
abolish the Chief Justiceship of the Su-
preme Court, and to leave the
members of the Court to choose Their
own Chief Justice. John Ryan has
been sentenced to one years imprison'
ment in the Oregon Penitentiary fol

P1ocHE, New, Dec. 80, 1873.
EDITOR RECORD: Thinking that little
information regarding the recent gold
discoveries along the east coast Of South
Africa would interest many Of the Rec

acquaintances who have heard me speak
Of my recent travels through q Sec
ton of that far-off continent, for the
general Information of all, I will proceed
to give few extracts and details OF that,
the original land of Ophir, from letter
received from that country, portion OF
which WAS published some time since in
the New York Herald.
The three principal gold fields are lin
order as discovered) first, those of the
Fati river, on the borders Of Matabilli
land, some 1000 miles or so inland.
The gold is found in quartz reefs, which
are reported to be very rich, but very
hard to work, it requiring great deal Of
labor and capital to work them success.

THE END OF THE YEAR

The occasion renders allusion 10 time
and its computation not out of place. A
few centuries ago different nations OF the
earth chose different days for the begin
ming of the year, but since then all
Christian nations recognize the lst day
of January as the day on which year
begins. The civil or legal year in Eng
land formerly commenced on the 18th Of
March, and the practice was continued
throughout the British dominions till
1882. The Julian manner OF computing
the months and days, or the calendar as
established by Julius Caesar Gin which
every fourth year consists Of 36G days
and the other year consist of 800 days.
is called the old style. As the Julian
method made the year about eleven min
utes too much, Pope Gregory XIII, re-
formed the calendar by retrenching ten
days in 1852, in order to bring back
the vernal equinox to the same day
as at the time of the Council Of
Nice, A. d. 1926. This reformation was
adopted by the British Parliament ii
175l, and by it eleven days in September,
1852, were retrenched, and the Sd da,
was reckoned as the l4th. This latte
mode of reckoning is called the new
style, according to which every yea
divisible by four, unless it is Invisible b.
100, without being divisible by 400, ha
366 days, and the balance 365 days. Fo
examples, 100, 1900 and 1900 will no
be leap years. The civil or legal year il
England formerly commenced on tn
25th of March, and the practice was cor
tinued throughout the British dominion
till 1852 The sidereal year is the tim

fixed star, returns to the same, which

CooLIE LABoR.-The Washington cor
respondent Of the San Francisco Bulle-
tin, referring to the bill of Page, of Cali
fornia, ito prohibit the employ of coolie
labor" says:
This bill proposes to make it a felony,
punishable by fine of from 81, 600 to
50, 900 and Imprisonment of two to three
years, to contract or attempt to contract
to supply the labor of any coole brought
heretofore or hereafter to the United
States in violation of the existing Federal
statutes of February 10, 1862, and Febru.
AIRY 8, 1869, prohibiting the coolie trade;
and these penalties are also to apply to
| cases where coolies are brought to this
country in foreign as well as American
vessels; reference being made to said
acts for definition Of the term ''coolie
labor" The bill also provides that the
employment of coolies so brought into
the United States, shall be considered
and held to be q misdemeanor, puisha.
BILE by fine of 50, 900, one-half of which
is to be paid to the informer, and the re.
mainder to the coolie, in his native
country, on condition that he allow him
self to be sent back thither by the United
States Marshal, the latter first deductinl
from the coolies share the cost Of his
passage. The Acts of February 10, 1869
TO which reference is made, provides il
substance when taken together) that nc
citizen of the United States, or foreigner
coming into or residing within thu
United States shall prepare or equip o.
use any vessel registered, enrolled O
licensed in the United States for thu
purpose of shipping, receiving or trans
porting the inhabitants of China, japan

TIE FIRST BoRN.-The Virginia Chron-
icle says the first male child born in Ga
lena, Illinois, was Pat Dignan, who was
killed in Belmont, Nye county, in this
State, about two years ago. He crossed
the plains from st. Paul, Minnesota, to
Frazer river, during the gold excitement
in British Columbia; went thence to
Orc Elmo, Idaho, where he made large
fortune in the mines; subsequently went
to Montana, thence back to Idaho City,
and finally to Belmont, where he was
shot and killed. John Curran, now a
resident of this city, was one of the first
children, and, if we are not misinformed,
was the first male child born in Du-
buque, Iowa. Curran's father was the
second white man after Dubuque who
went to the place of that name to settle
came to California with the first rush,
and returned to Iowa in 1856 and died.
John Curran has been on this coast TO,
many years; has explored Arizona, Cali.
fornia and Nevada pretty Thoroughly
and is now residing in this city.

The long list Of crimes reported on
Christmas day from various portions of
the country is enough to startle quiet
and order-ioving people. The words of
love. which the shepherds Of Galilee saw
emblazoned in the heavens Gin the SOL

have lost their force with great portion
of humanity; for, instead of bringing
peace on earth and good will to man,
this last Christmas has been marked by
an unusual quantity of war on earth and

for nine-tenths OF these Christmas crimes

Table Etiquette.

The correct way is for the one
who sits at the head of the table to
help first, the first lady on the right;
next the first lady on the left; then
the second lady on the right; then
the second lady on the left, till all
the ladies at the table are served
Then repeat the attentions, in the
same order, till the gentlemen are
served. The gentlemen should
always serve his wife before he
serves the gentlemen at table, but
not till all other ladies at the table
are served.
tits not etiquette to snatch at a
plate before it reaches you, and be-
gin to eat as though famished, but
leisurely, soially commence eating
when the food is ready, and banded
you. Politeness does not require
that person should sit at a table
till from five to forty guest are sery-
ed, and till the food to be partaken
of has become cold.
Ifa person is an expert or even a

be carved at the table while the
guests are chatting and indulging
in social conversation; but if not
if the meat is to be haggled, and cut
into chunks. and the joints only to
be discovered after several guesses,
explorations and disappointments,
all carving should be done on a side
table, before the guests are seated.
The rule Is to have a dinner pass OF
pleasantly with nothing to make the
partakers nervous or unsettled.
It is not necessary to go into costa

sweet cake, the coffee, the meat, etc,

THE YELLOW COTTAGE.
BT MARION DOUGLAS.

BI MARION DOUGLAS.
Mid fields with useless daisies white,
Between a river and a wood,
With not another house in sight,
The low-roofed yellow cottage stood,
WheEe I,
Through all HES rosy morning played.
No other child the region knew;
My only playmate was myself,
And all our books, treasured few,
Were gathered on a single shelf;
But oh,
Not wealth a king might prize could be
What those old volumes were to me!
In winter nights beside the fire,
In summer sitting in the door,
turned, with love that did not tire,
Their well worn pages DER;
Inme,
Though sadly fallen, it is true,
Their heroines all lived anewi
One day, about my neck ruff
OF elder flowers with frsgranl breath,
Iwas, with conscious pride enough
To suit the part, Elizabeth;
The next,
Ensnsred by many willy plots,
sighed, the hapless queen of Scots!
Where darting swallows used to fit
Close to me, on some jutting rocks,
Above the river, would sit
For hours, and wreath my yellow locks,
And trill
A ehild's shrin song, and, singing, play
1t was SIRENS witching lay.
On Sundays, underneath the tree
That overhung the orchard wall,
While watching, one by one, to see
The ripe, sweet apples fall,
l tried
Ny very best to make believe
was in Eden and was Eve!
On golden hours! when I, to-day,
Would make truce with care,
No more of queens, in bright array,
I dream, or sirens fair;
In thought,
am again the little maid
Who round the yellow cottage played.
From 81. Nicholas for Decen,5,
