All Fools Day.

Yesterday was duly celebrated by the
Juveniles, and by many "children of q
larger growth" who amused themselves
by playing all sorts of practical jokes or
each other. In France persons imposed
|apon are called " Poisson's d. Ap,1I, !
or "April fish," which we find defined by
an ancient writer quoted in the Baltimore
American. The word Poisson, he con.
tends is corrupted through the ignorance
of the people from Passion; and length
of time has almost defaced the original
intention, which was as follows: That, as
the passion Of our Saviour took place
about this time of the year, and as the
Jews sent Christ backwards and forwards
to mock and torment HIM e., from
Aunas to Caiaphus, from Caiaphus to
PLATE, from PLATE to Herod, and from
Herod back again to Pilate-this ridi.
'eulous, or rather impious custom took its
rise from thence, by which We send about
from one place to another, such persons
as we think proper objects of our ridicule

W Mr.. Moore, or Major Moore, as
he is better known, was travelling through

his sulky, to avoid the mud, by a side

Had tale to recount of the olden
time, laying the scene thereof in England
! France, Spain, or any of the old countries
to US associated with so much romance
and gorgeous grandeur, in which there
would be plenteous sprinkling of lords
and ladies, priests and nuns, magnificent
palaces, haunted castles, and gloomy mon
asteries, it would be far more acceptable
to the great masses than if the scene was
! laid here in this land of plodding Yam
KEGS, Railroads, manufactures, and cotton
, speculations; nevertheless l will endeavor
to spin yarn, which, by the way, is not
altogether yarn, but facts and unvarnish-
4 ed truths.
si'iI had the pleasure of spending few
days, recently, continued Governor f
with distinguished friend of mine in
Richmond, and while there, heard the
following conversation between the wife
and daughter of my host:
