The Year.
The length of the year is
strictly 365 days 5 hours48 min­
utes 49 seconds and seven-
thenths of a second; the time
required for the revolution of
the earth round the sun. About
45 B. C., Julius Ca?sar, by the
help of Sosigines, an Alexan­
drian philosopher, came to a
tolerably clear understanding of
the length of a year, and detweed
that every fourth year should be
held to consist of 366 days for
the purpose of absorbing the
odd hours. By this rather clumsv
arrangement the natural time
fell behind the reckoning, as, in
reality, a day every fourth year,
is too much by 11 minutes 10
seconds and three-tenths of a
second, so it inevitably followed
that the beginning of the year
moved onward ahead of the
point at which it was in the days
of Caesar. From the time of the
council of Nice, in 326 A. D.,
when the vernal equinox fell
Correctly on the 21st of March,
Pope Gregory found, in 1582 A.
D., that there had been an over-
reckoning to the extent of ten
days, and that the vernal equi­
nox fell on the 11th of March. To
correct the past error, he decreed
that the 5th of October of that
year should be reckoned as the
15th, and to keep the year right
in future—the overplus being
18 hours 37 minutes and 10 sec­
onds in a century—he ordered
that every centennial year that
could not be divided by four
(1700, 1800,
1900,
2100,
2200) should not be bissex­
tile, as it otherwise wouhj be;
thus, in short, dropping the ex­
tra day three times every 400
years. While in Catholic coun­
tries the Gregorian style was
readily adopted, it was not so
in Protestant nations. In Brit­
ain it was not adopted until in
1752, by which time the discrep­
ancy between the Julian and
the Gregorian periods amounted
to eleven days. An act of par­
liament was passed dictating
that the 3rd of September that
year should be reckoned the 14th
and that three of every four cen­
tennial years should be leap
years; 1800 not being a leap
year, the new and old styles now
differ twelve days, our first of
January being equivalent to the
13th, old style. In Russia alone
of Christian countries, is the old
style retained. The old style is
still retained in the treasury ac­
counts of Great Britain. In old
times the year was held to be­
gin on the 25th of March, and
this usage, or piece of antiquity,
is still observed in the computa­
tions of the chancellor of the
British exchequer.

PRICK TWO CENTS.
A $10,000
Bedstead.
New York Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer:
A bedstead which cost $10,000
would be a curiosity anywhere.
Such was the price paid, I am
told, bv Mr. and Mrs. Whitney
for the bedstead at their house
in New York, on which Col. Ol­
iver Payne sleeps. Whitney’s
friends here say that after his
father-in-law had made him a
present of this house in New
York, he complained that he
ceuld not keep it; that it took
more money than he could earn
to pay taxes, keep servants and
sustain the place. Thereupon
Col. Oliver Payne, who was a
bachelor, gave his sister $1,000,-
000 to go to housekeeping.
It is a fact patent to every
business man that our money
volume is not large enough now,
even to keep it at $25 per capita,
which we cannot, unless we coin
silver dollars twice as fast as we
are now. The national banks
have contracted their circulating
notes $65,000,000 during the
present year. The green backs
are a fixed quantity and by law
are neither diminished or in­
creased. We are coining silver
at the rate $25,000,000, and
about as much more in gold.
But the amount of gold and sil­
ver coined is not equal to the
amount of bank notes destroyed.
Here then we have a contraction
of the money volume going on
every day, in the face of an in­
creasing demand. The national
banks have yet $69,000,000 in
3 {»er cent, bonds deposited as
security for their circulation—
and these will be called in and
cancelled during the coming
year, so that the contraction of
currency from this source is to
continue. But this is not all.
Our population is increasing at
the rate of 3,000,000 a year, and
in order to provide $25 per capita
for such increased population,
we need to add $75,000,000 to
our money volume each year. In
the face of such facts what is to
be thought of the financial wis­
dom that would recommend the
stoppage of our silver coinage?
The Yamhill county Tem­
perance Alliance will convene at
Sheridan on the 19th of January.
