| Yesterday was valentines Day." and we
dare say that it passed without awakening any
extraordinary emotions, save perhaps in the
hearts of few young persons that still keep
| up the custom of transmitting silly missives
| through the mails. Years ago and in eastern
| countries on the eve of Valentines Day num-
Der of young folks, maids and bachelors, would
assemble together, nscribe upon little billets
the names of an equal number of maids and
bachelors of their acquaintance, throw the
whole into a receptacle of some sort, and
then draw them like lottery or church grab.
bag, care being taken that each should draw
one of the opposite sex. The person thus
drawn becomes ones valentine. These i'm.
aginary and playful engagements have often
led to real ones, not so easy to sever, as they
seemed to bind heart to heart by custom and
courtesy. But the day has ceased to possess
the graceful symbolic meaning it used to have,
and has become nuisance wherever practiced
to any extent. Its approach is heralded by
the appearance in printsellers' windows of a
vast number of mssives for use on the occa-
sion. Some are sentimental, with two gush-
ing hearts transfxed on a skewer, with blood
streaming from the CHASTITY wounds which we
are to suppose Cupid has made. Then there
are horrible caricatures of ones business or pro-
fession which form the staple of the yalen-
tine trade, but which are far removed from
the original design of the day. 1t is consid-
cred "bright" or 'smart" to send printer
picture of pressman working off his tokens
under the inspiration of mug of beer;
dentist pulling his patients tooth with the
longs the tailor rolling up his cabbage"
the lonely old bachelor mending hole in the
heel Of his stocking; the dried up old maid
sailing off on broomstick to more congenial
chimes in thin air all these and more are
''done up in the valentines of the present
day. What connection this may have with
the original custom or with the supposed fact
that about this time of the year birds choose
their mates, we leave our readers to judge.

London, IA. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn,
British member of the Geneva board approves
the governments refusal to admit the claims
for indirect damages.
William Fowler, member of Parliament for
Cambridge, in addressing his constituents
last night dwelt at some length on the Ala
bama claims case. In abiding to the claim
Of the United States for indirect damages he
said England should not buster nor should
she submit to be bullied. He believed that
the country to man had made up its mind

for nothing could be more unpopular in Eng

port that the reply to lord Granville's note
has arrived from Washington. 1t thinks the
American cabinet will wait till the text of the
note is received by mail before making a
formal answer.
