GENERAL ITEMS.

In the Greek Church, according to
old chronology, the sixth of January is cele6ra-
ted as Christmas Day. Divine services were
accordingly held on that date in the Russian
chapel in this city, at No 951 Second avenue.
The services, conducted by Father Bierring, the
Russian priest, were singularly strange and i'm
pressive, consisting Of reading of the Scriptures
and prayers by the priests. The lighted candles,
emblazoned altar, and the elaborate silk and
gold robes Of the officiating priests presented a
scene not soon to be forgotten by the casual
visitor. Several Russian ladies and gentlemen
were present and signifed their adherence TO the

A New Kind Of Salutation

A lady approaches gentleman on the
street. Cunningly and skillfully he con-
ceals his notice of her presence until
she is within few feet of him. Then
he makes wild grab for the brim of
his hat and brin: 8 it down before him
with swish, as if a hornet had just lit
upon his knee, and wa. beginning to
sink shaft in that useful joint. The
old-fashioned graceful manner Of lifting
tn, hat and bowling has given place to
this vile gymnastic contortion. The
l ,wer down the victim of this grotesque
practice strikes his body, the greater
his claim to be an out-an-out, three-for-
a-half society young man. If he has
long reach, and can bang the crown Of
his hat on his ankle, one may feel pretty
confident that he is a leader of the Ger

Will Dasgott be q Candidate !

An item has been going the rounds Of
the State press to the effect that Mr..
Daggett would not accept the nomina-
ton for Governor if rendered to him by
the Republican Convention. The editor
of the Leader had occasion to write to
him some days since, and among other
things asked squarely whether or not
he intended to submit his name TO the
Convention. We take the liberty of
publishing an extract from his reply,
which effectually settles the matter. He
says:
"There is no shadow of truth in the
report first published in the Gold Hill
NeaUs, on the authority of a Demccr ratio
county official, that would not accept
the nomination for Governor from the
Republican party, but, owing to the
animosity of the Central Pacific Rail
road, / do not wish to jeopardize the
success of the Republican ticket by
pushing myself forward. prefer that
the party, through its chosen represen-
tatives, should decide without bias
whether it will be beneficial or other
wise to place my name at the head Of
the ticket. If my nomi nation for Gov
ernor would weaken it do not want
it. The success of tho Republicans is
the first consideration, and men who
have the triumph of the party at heart
will not allow personal ambition to
interfere with its success. Others will
be better judges than myself as to
whether my nomination would be jul
dicious or not, and to them / am willing
to submit whatever considera tions l
may have upon the party"
We take the above from the Eureka
Leader of Monday. In conversation
with Mr. Daggett a few weeks ago he
the same sentiments to US.
