THE Radicals are boosting that the
Civil rights Bill has saved their party.
OF course their meaning is, that it sets
on foot measures whereby the South
can be forced to vote the Radical tick
ct. Our opinion is however, that the
employment of armed force will be
without plausible pretext, and that
the end aimed at must be the rusult of
unprovoked aggression. The South
having horne, for ten years, the most
intolerable wrongs and, seeing now,
relief not far off, will surely bear a
little longer for the sake of escape
from Radical tyranny.

for constitutional liberty-the casting
of another anchor of safety that will

his party carries with it moral weight
that cannot be overestimated, and was

We have been asked 500 questions
concerning the. origin of Mardi Gras,
and we will here briefly state Mardi is
the French for Tuesday, and Gras for
fat. As most Of our readers know.
this day is known as Shrove Tuesday,
the last day of the carnival--deTived
from the Latin corno, flesh, and rateo,
to bid farewell-and Immediately pre-
ceeding Ash Wednesday, the begin
ming of Lent. Originally it was the
custom in the Roman Catholic Church
for its members to confess their sins
to the priests on that day, and be
shriven, hence the term Shrove Tues
day. Finally it came to be regarded
as day of jollity, when feasting and
merriment ruled the hour.
