Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1875-05-01
MAY DAY.

every day is a festival; a month shad-
owed only by the superstitions of the
Iemures; its advent marks the out
break of new life and beauty in re-
| viving Nature, and in%stinctively ex-
cites feelings of gladness and delight.
1t is not wonderful that May Day
should have at all times been cele-
brated. The first emotion is a desire
to seize some part Of that p%rofusion of
flower or blossom which spreads
around us, to set it up in decorative
fashion, pay it a sort of homage, and
to let the pleasure it eXcltes find ex-
preston in dance and song. In how
many different places will the cere-
mony of the bringing home of May"
to-day once more be celebrated and
hawthorne branches be gathered to
decorate the tiIme-honored Maypole?
The fairest maid for miles around will
be crowned "Queen of the May" and
as she sits in state beneath the bower
of floral offerings, receive the homage
and the admiration of the youthful
jewellers who dance and sing around
her throne. And at the eventide got
the propitious day, when tired with
the festive sports, how the little ones
will cluster round the hearth to listen
in wonder to the Oft repeated tales of
robin Hood and Maid Miriam, the
Queen Of May, and how King Henry
and Catherine of Aragon, with all
their court, went with all the people of
high and low degree a Maying on
Shooters Hill; and many other ira
dictionary tales of the long ago which

thousands and thousands of the now
living. In our W barren sageland
cline May Day can not be thus cele-
brated. but it's annual coming brings
back pleasant "reminiscences of shady
woods. babbling brooks, green fields,
and beautiful wild flowers of other
places dear to the memory of child
hoods happy days.
OUTRAGEoUs.-We have an item that

INsANE.-An Italian named Giovan-
nj Giamoletti, who arrived from Pied
mont, Italy, n few weeks since, has for
the past W. or three days been wan
dering about the streets in a demented
condition. Family troubles seems to
he the cause of his mania. His in
sanity has not developed into a dan
gerous type AS yet, and his friends hope
hat he will O recover his reason.
An application was made yesterday to
have him arrested aud undergo a med
zeal examination, but the officer APP

he still roains about the streets night
and day.

yesterday on being compelled to re
