festival of Passover or Resach. which
begins on Thursday next, April 1, is
celebrated by Israelites throughout the
world, in compliance with the Divine
command. The history on which tho
feast is based is too we'll known to need
explanation. The first few chapters of
the Book of Exodus contains it's fullest
exposition. The festival. is commemo-
rati"e of Israel's redemption from
Egyptian bondage, and is one of those
monuments which, more than any other,
connects the living present with the
homry past-a monument more grand,
more subtitle, and more instructive than
any of marble or stone that speaks in tho
dumb language of the ages that have
rolled by since their erection.

The pillar, of st. Peters (Catholic) were

middle aisle was suspended an immense
cross. composed of evergreens. The altar
was abl.ze with wax candles, and the SER
vices adapted to this day of rejoicing
were performed by the good priest, Rev.
Father Fullerton. The choir (with Prof..
Plate at the orgnn) was reinforced by Sc
Seral of the Presbyterian singers, and the
result WAS some of the finest musi, we
inye had the pleasure of hearing for
many day.

General Sheridan's order for tn, dis
persion OF the Black Hills hanlitti does;

Vile (omier-Jom7paI, meet the approval
of Northern Radicals Sheridan could
issue any order he pleased against the
Southern people. However, severe his
instructions are in that quarter, he is sure
to be applnuded as hero. The other
day, he instructed General Ord, with
reference to the, Black Hills banlitti. to
''burn the wagon trains, destroy the out
fit and arrest the leaders, continuing them
Mt the nearest military post in the Indian
country. The Chicago Hter- Ocean OBJ
Jects to it's hero's order this time. It
wants to know if General Sheridan could

lying the Southern people. Says the
Inter- OCEAN:
q a"Now the poorest possible use to
which property can be put is to destroy
IT. Strictly speaking, q 'wagon-trnin'
wouldn't be much of a train without the
animals necessary to draw it, but we
hardly suppose General Sheridan means
to order the mules and horses burned
The latter, no doubt, are to be brought
into camp. But why not bring the trains
in as we'll? Why is it any more necessary
to burn the wagons than it is to burn the
horses: Indeed, the inter- Ocean inquiries
for information, where the authority ex-
lists for burning or otherwise DESTROYING
any property in this manner. or further
for taking the leaders to the nearest
military post and there con!ining them
~ directed in the order
The ht''rOceoa should have known
Sheridan better. OF course. he means
that the mules and horses shall lie burned.
1t affords him peculiar pleasure tn anti
cipate such holocaust AS for asking
him by what authority he acts, the Iles-
ton is useless. Really, it would open
the Radical eyes to have General Shcri-
dan enter upon banditti campaign Ill
rcctly in their midst. There would be
some hish-pitched ''squealing"
