The Jewish tiew lear, however, is at-
tendedj by more strictly religion ceremon
ies. of jonjrer duration than those of other
sects, and includes oj some days a partial
cessation of business. With the Israelite",
visits f congratul-it'.on and compliment
are secondary to the religions observances.
It is unnecessary to comment upon the
usual planner in whieh tbe new year is
celebrated by the generality of the Ameri
can people.
The: Chinese, who are so numerous in
the Stite of California, and whose noisy
demonijtrutious involve so heavy an ex
penditure of gunpowder, are reputed to
consider it an absolute necessity to pay all
indebtedness on this occasion, and tho?t
who are positively unable to discharged
their liabilities shall be ett free from them.
This is the theory, but it wonld appear
that association with outside barbarians
has greatly tended to modify it in prac
tice when abroad.
Iu their own native land the rule is
carriecj out more rigidly, but such is the
ence may be io some , sort attributed to
there being no Christmas festival permis
ible by the Calvinistic regime.1, In this
connection it may be observed that, to the
same cause, operating upon the Puritan
settlers of New England, may be- traced
the more 'notable celebration wf the day,
in America. "
Till within a very few years the drink
ing from tbe wassail bowl, at the passing
away ot the old year, prevailed la Scot
land. In that country, as in some others
which shall be nameless, excesses are too
much the order of the day ; aud, so gener
al is tha custom of indulging freeley, on
the plea that it cornea but, once a year,
that, by mid-dayi persons of standing and
position even, may not uufrequently be
seen in the streets of the ; larger cities,
whose uncertain gait betrays the depth of
their potations. Nor are these cases eu
tirely confined to tbe stronger sex. ' The
police have instructions, it is presumed, to
be ennveniently blind, so long as tbe peace
is preserved, so that few arrests for intox
ication are made.
The custom of "first footing" is gener
ally prevalent in the "Land o' Cakes
Parties, generally consisting of men ouly,
with an abundant supply of whiskey,

toast mosi in voguo is, "A gude New
Year to ye, and many may ye aee." Forty
years ago a rule obtained in some sort,
tbat all ladies found out of doors after 10
o'clock were liable to pay the forleit of a
kiss. As many parties were given on
New 1 ear's eve, ot course numerous o
the fair sex were out after that hour, and
none would venture to take thr-ir depart
ure excent in carriajres, and even these
wero stopped frequently by parties o
young men, and the inmates compelled to
submit to the inevitable New Year silnte.

custom more honored in ths breach than
the observance :" bnt rounz men of

be denied having taken them.'- Mr. Wil
son then put his hand In the' man Y coat

crowd j soon .afterwards left the store.
About an hoar after this, Andrew Strong
who bad evidently been dnnkinjr. came
into tb store and ordered Mr. Wilson to
leave tbe county; sweariner that if he did
not he would kill him. , The--young man
informed him that be would do so, where

o'clock ke returned, more intoxicated than
before, and repeated hia commands, tell-

turned to leave tbe store, and as he did
so Wilson raised; a double-barrelled gun
that was at hand and discharged one bar
rel at the ontlaw planting eighteen buck
shot in ibis neck and head.
Strong fell with scarcely a groan and
ex tired at once. The fall of the outlaw
at once spread consternation and dismay

Among the English the festivities of
New Year's eve and day are of a very an
cient date. .In the feudal times the head
of the house presided at these nteiry-mak
ing over a huge bowl of triced ale are
somewfhat strangely named "lamb's wool.'
Having fiiit drunk to the health of (hope
assembled, be passed it around to tbe
others;. As each took the bowl to drink
he pronounced the Saxon 3 word "Wass
hael,"j meaning your health, aud from this
sprung the name " wassail bowl." Nu
merous songs were sung, one of which, of
Gloucestershire origin, contains the tallow
ing verse :
"Wassail, wassial, over the town,
Ourbrjead is white, our ale is brown ;
Our bwl is made of the maple tree
We bej good fellow al !. I dring to thee.
Come i butler, aad bring us a bowl of the
best,
I hope! your soul in heaveu may rest y
But if jyou do bring us a bowl f thersmall,
Theu jdowu shall fall butler, bowl and all."
j
The poor people carried round on the
last day of the year a bowl ornamuied
wiih Hbbcue, and begged for the wheie
withal to get it filled, so that they, too,
might enjoy, the waseail.
At 'the monasteries, then so numerous
in England, tbe abbot stood behind an
enormous wassail howl, which was called,
in their ecclesiasiticel language, "Pocu
lum (paritaiie," and, having drunk to all
the fibers drank in regular succession,
the one to the other, until the wassail had
gone.the round of the tables.
A relic of this custom is Btill retained
by the corporation of the city of London.

Episcopal clergymen, of some of the
districts wheie other denominations are
gaining ground, have adopted a "Watch-
Night Service," probably from motives of
policy, but tbe movement is not reneral
with that body in England most of the
clergy of the Established Church being
opposed to it on the ground that the status
of the Church demands that it should be
the inaugurator of any additional obser
vances, not the follower of such aa may

'A Washington dispatch to the. New
York llerald states that Robert C. Young
a Ku Klux prisoner, who has beeu par
doned by tbe President, arrived iu that
city from the Albany penitentiary on Sat
urday in a dying condition. He was on
bis way home to Youngsville, Alabama.
He was interviewed in tbe cloak-room of
the House of representatives, where he
was attempting to sleep. The repoiter
says :
He appeared to sleep in death. His'
face had a leaden, ghastly look, with
wrinkles deeply and rigidly set, as if void
of sense and motion. My companion
touched him lightly. He raised his head
slowly and cast d languid look towards
me. it seemed to me the look of a gal
vanized corpse. He was dressed in a suit
of homespun. Hi face was thin and ashy
with a three weeks' beard upon it. his
eyes were sunken in, and the gray hairs
struggled down upon his forehead. He
was asked wether he wjra treated kindly in
prison. He answered.
"All the officers treated me kindly, cx
cept one overseer, who was harsh to me.
When 1 was too feeble to work I had ti
remain in my cell, which was very cold.
I sometimes asked him to let rue go to the
stove iu tbe corridor to warm myself, but
he. refused. "Don't be hard on an old
man," 1 would say, but still he wouldn't
let me go out I was confined iu the same
cell with my eon Ringgold, who is still
there. He has to work in the shoe shop
from daylight tiU evening ; but he has
been in good health ; never mis-d a day
in the shop. If it bad not been for him,
I should have been dead long before this.
He took good care of me,"
I he dying man gave the following his
tory of his case ::
'-It was all tbe work of a roan named
Barnes. He is a lawyer. He bated me.
and wanted to have mo nut out of the
way. lor this purpose he went to John
D. Young, a Ku Klux prisoner, now in
the Albany Penitentiary, but no relation
of mine, aud asked him to turn State's
evidence against me, but John refused.
