Christmas night atthe residence of ‘Wedarsddy, December 27, 1871. . the way of a neighborhood ChristThe Public Lands. The tendency of the times is to reserve the public lands for actual settlers and such is ‘the object of the National Homestead laws. In the last Congress a disposition was shown to further guard these lands from absorbtion by individuals for speculative purposes, but in the man. agement of our tide lands the speculators have made a good thing, and the Legislature should, among one of its firstacts, seek to prevent this evil. We are told that recently a large tract of these lands was purchased by speculators at aife dollar per acre, only tei per céntof which was paid at the time of sale, ‘that is, ten cents per acre. This tract was almost immediately sold to English capitalists, who propose to reclaim the lands, at $3 per acre, the payment to be made incash. Now, if the land was worth $3 without any improvement having . gauge bags. been made, there is no good reason why the State should not have received this price, instead of a payment of ten cents per acre, in cash, the balance to be paid in the future. We notice that Assemblyman Days has introduced some resolutions,asking Congress to regulate National land matters. It would be well for the Legislature to first direct its attention to the laws governing the distribution and occupation of State lands, the latter being within the scope of State authority and law.— The resolutions not only embody the principles which have been for some time advocated, namely the granting of linds to. actual settlers only, and opposition to land donations to railroads, but they go further, and advocate: annulling all grants not yet patented, and the payment in money sary. ‘This would be jumping from the frying pan into the tire. The people can better afford to let the lands already granted go, than to attempt to buy them back with money. The payment of money by the Government for land, implies taxation, and the péople havo’already enough of taxes. We had far better content ourselves with reserving what lands remain for actual settlers, and make no attempt to purchase the rights already vested in railroad companies. If the Government enters the market . as a purchaser of lands or rights from railroads, Uncle Sam is bound to come out second best. If the lands now held by the Government are retained for. séttlers only, there is abundance for all. Again in the Field. The Immigration Union, a San Francisco institution, is again in the field with a petition for an appropriation of $30,000 a year, and they, the potitioners, claim to have spent $20,-! 000 of their own money in the effort to induce immigration. This ex. penditufe has.not secured success in the enterprise, if we may judge from the number of arrivals, and it is not likely that State money will be as judiciously expended as private funds. ago asked for appropriations amounting to $350,000 per annum. The demand now is More moderate, but we do not think a majority of the Legislature will be willing to vote away even $30,000 of the people's money for which there is not the most'remote prospect of a return, especially: since they are pledged to the people of the State in favor of retrenchment of expenditures. Revenue Bureau, ,A bill has been introduced in the Senate by Senator Sumner, to abolish the Internal “Revenue Bureau. “Wa notice thatsome of our exchanges in this State have expressed their approval of the proposition to abolish the Bureau, yet so far as we have been able to learn, neither Sumner nor aly of those who ‘snppért—his measure have. proposed any substitute. .So long as an Internal Revenue is collected for the General Govyemment, there must be officers to collect it. No one has ever proposed ty abolish the tax on spirits aud on tobacco, andakt is the prevailing sentimentof the country that these taxgs should be kept. up until the public debt is paid.

THE CHILDREN. door Was throwr open and the children invited to enter. Upon doing so they took a stand on one‘side of dered by eight little girls and boys, pupils of Miss Carrie Ray’s school, and under her direction. They marched _ round the tree, with delight and admiration depicted on their countenances, pleasant to witness, §-me of the little fellows’ eyes protruding to quite a noticable extent. The calling off then commenced, continuing about half an hour, and ending to the satisfaction of allpresent. I will here digress to say that-this. cannot be said in general of Church trees, when it so often happens that little hearts are almost broken because their share is so meagre compared with the more fortunate,. or, a8 sometimes ‘happens, none at all. AN ACCIDENT Occurred while calling off presents. A step ladder, not properly adjusted and contdihing, according to one report, 700 feet of lumber, (but this ‘was greatly exaggerated) toppled over, precipitating a gentleman of rather lesg than the average corporeal dimensions, (as luck would have it) whe was in the act of ascending, on top of another, at the time engaged in -taking presents f.om the lower branches of the tree. For an . instant things looked badly mixed, and as though it might result ina cranitm. Nothing serious came of it, however, than the head of thé undermost party being slightly peeled in spots. THE COLLATION. All the presents being disposed of, the ladies and gentlemen. present were ranged in the spacious, dining room, and served to a sumptuous repast, after which the children were passed in to the tables, and, it is wns necessary to say, fully, appreciated und enjoyed the good things, and caused them to disappear in a rapid manner, The compyny broke up at 11 o’clock with many good byes, and wishing in their hearts that the same might be repeated in another twelve months, “by, ‘and under the auspices of the same host and hostess, and that Christmases were not so few and far between, 8.

A Signal Service. it matters little whether the predictions of storms come -fram the central office of the Signal Service at Washington or from the local stations. If the system is such ‘that prognostications of storms may be made with as much truth as the recent predictions, the result will be the saving of millions of dollars worth of property annually, ‘that vould otherwise be destroyed. This benefit extends to the interior as well as to the sea coast. When the news of the approach of the recent storm sent by the South Yuba Canal Co, to agents, to open the gates along the lines of ditch and prepare for the storm. Heretofore agents have waitand this frequently occurred so suddenJy that great damage was done before preparations could be made.

General Casneau, in his report, makes special mention of the Nevada Light Guard, giving the name of the Company among the commands ‘‘entitled to the highest respect for their admirable state of digcipling and sol-} dierly bearing, for the «perfection of their equipment and fer the zeal and spirit that characterizes all their military proceedings.’’ After naming several companies, the Light Guard among them, he says: ‘‘Each and all of. these, with others of equal merit, reflect the highest credit upon the military organization of our State, and are gratifying examples of what may be accomplished by citizen soldiery.”’ M4 The Storm Predictions. We clip the following from the Sacramento Record of Saturday: . The repott' that the Signal Corps at Washington had predicted.another storm, was unfounded. The statement was put forward by the reporter of the Bureau in San Francisco, and without either authority or justificatien. If it was intended for a joke, the joker ought to be removed, and if it was meant seriously it proves him to be iwcompetent for his position, He can take either horn of the dilemma. , The statement of the reporter was ¢orrect, and the storm came almost before the! Reord ‘containing the item was dry from the press. _ We are at a logs te see how a prediction so literally fulfilled, proves the reporter incompetent. ‘A little sunshine on Friday and Saturday morning evidently got the Record into ed until the storm came upon them, . a total of 29;39 inches for the season. sia, yesterday declared his intention to become a citizen of the United mining property, it will be of im-!
