A Beautiful Custom, 
Christmas and New Year Gifts, 
It is a beautiful custom, prevailing in all civilized 
lands—the remembering of one another with gifts 
and souvenirs during the Holidays. It is a custom 
which has come down from the earliest times. 
Not only the ancient Romans, but the Saxons and 
Druids presented gifts to one another, and to their 
rulers. Under the Caesars, the giving of presents 
at this season of the year became so expensive a 
luxury, that Claudius limited the amount and num¬ 
ber by an official decree. In some villages of Ger¬ 
many, parents send all-their holiday gifts intended 
for their children to one person, who, “ in high 
buskins and white robe and mask, and an enor¬ 
mous flaxen wig,” fjoes from house to house and 
gives them out to the children according to 
their merits, as narrated to him by their parents, 
who receive him with great pomp and reverence. 
We are glad that the custom of giving holiday 
gifts is increasing every year in this country. The 
beautiful IPreiniiam List sent out with 
the October American Agriculturist, enables every 
Father, Mother, Brother, Sister—everybody, to get 
these presents for one another without money 
and with little labor.

Enormous Grain Keceipts. — We 
have hitherto referred to the great amount of corn kept 
back by farmers, and especially so,, in Kansas, in hopes 
of higher prices. Large amounts of money have been 
borrowed on this corn, often as high as at two per cent 
a month. The good prospects for the crop of this year 
have blighted the hopes and expectations, and this old 
stock, with portions of the new crop, are now being 
rushed into market. The same remarks apply in part to 
other grains. As an illustration, take the receipts fora 
single day in the City of Chicago alone. The offi¬ 
cial returns of receipts weie: Corn, over thirteen hun¬ 
dred car-loads; wheat, four hundred and thirty-two cars; 
oats, three hundred and seventeen cars; rye, one hun¬ 
dred and thirty-six cars; barley, thirty-nine cars; total, 
two thousand two hundred and twenty-four car-loads of 
grain for a single day ! Allowing an average of forty 
feet per car, including locomotives, this would make a 
continuous train of nearly seventeen miles. These 
grain cars, the live stock, and other freight cars, to say 
nothing of ttiose bringing hitman live stock, indicate the 
enormous business centering in a single city not half as 
large as New York.
