MAY DAY.--May Day was formerly a grand
festival for all ranks and conditions of the people. One of the
oldest customs was that of " Maying," which consisted in per-
sons of all classes going into the woods early in the morning,
returning laden with garlands, and spending the remainder of
the day dancing round the may-pole crowned with flowers.
The poor chimney-sweeps in London are permitted, this one
day in the year, to put off their sooty garbs and have a holiday.
They formerly assembled early in the morning, covered with
garlands of flowers, knots of ribands, their jackets bedizened
with gilt paper, and their faces and legs grotesquely coloured
with Dutch pink. Their parties were always presided over by
a " Lord" and " Lady" roost magnificently attired, who led off
the dance with much burlesque gracefulness. Latterly, the
observance of the day by that degraded class has been turned
to a better purpose; they are assembled together, kindly enter-
tained, and presented with suitable presents, and means are
employed to better their moral and religious condition. We
need not point out the contrast.
DON CARLOS AT BOURGES.—The Augsburg
Gazette publishes a letter from Paris, dated April 19th, stating
that Don Carlos persists in refusing to receive any pecuniary
assistance from the King of the French, although his funds
were lately so far exhausted that he was nearly unable to par
the expenses of his household, which is on a very economical
footing. In this embarrassment he is said to have received
bills to the amount of 30,000 f. from a western Power. The
writer adds that Don Carlos is expected soon to leave Bourges
for Blaye, and, consequently, that the chance of his liberation
is become more distant. The intrigues of his party in the
Basque provinces are said to be the cause of his very properly
continued detention.
