THE CARNIVAL IN CINCINNATI

CINCINNATI, Feb. 20, 1876
Cincinnati for the first her history, and for
ne time the history Of any Northern city, has
celebrated Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday n festival
that falls on any day between the I'd OF February
and the sth OF March, time when the climate
north Of Mason and Dixon's line renders its cele-
bration almost impracticabe. II is strictly Cath
oIic feast and observed by the until the
time OF Luther under the OF Fastnacht and the
plays for Mardi day the Oldest
form Of the German comedies These plays simi-
lar the English mysteries sacred plays of the Mid
ale Ages Every license allowed this day,
sometimes men and running through the
naked their faces alone masked. Many OF Luther's
ulminations directed against the follies and
travagances OF this The day lost much OF
It's force and application because they rejected the doc
trine Of confession believing that people should 20 to
the with their SINS and prayers be publicly
offered up for them Hence the idea that open comics
sion was good for the soul
IN ENGLAND.
In old English plays there Is frequent reference to
The customs and frolics OF shrove Tuesday Master 81
ience. IN shakspeares comedy, cries, 'welcome,
Merry Shrovetidel' and the clown in 'All's Well That
Ends Well' speaks of something "as ht as pancake
or shrove Tuesday" Taylor, the water poet quantity
describes the day as folows:-''Shroye Tuesday, at
whose entrance the morning all the whole Kingdom
Is In quiet but al that time the clock strikes eleven
(Which, by the help OF knavish sexton, commonly
called nnel there is a bell rung called the pancake
bell the sound whereof makes thousands OF people dis
tracted and forgetfu either Of manners or humility.
Then there is thing called wheaton flour, which the
cooks mingc with water eggs spice and other agica
magical enchantments, and they put it little by little
into trying pan Of boiling suet where It makes
fused, dismal kissing like Lernean the reeds
Of fAcheron until at last by the skill Of the cook 1t is
transformed into the form Of a naplack called pancake

The Original JEFF DAVIS Man

We trust Mr.. Blaine, of Maine, in pri-
vate life does not belong 10 the class of
people of whom the provcrb tells us that
they ought to have, and therefore pre-
sumably do MT have long memories, !"
Certainly in politics Mr.. Blaine's memory
is exceptionally short Had it not been
so, even he might have shrunk from ex-
posing himself, in the recent debate on
universal amnesty, to being reminded on
the tioor OF this house, as we now beg
leave to remind him, OF his own original
appearance IN congress nine years ago as
the champion of universal amnesty. When
the Republican despot of the house OF
representatives, whose weighty scourge
neither Mr.. Blaine nor any dozen others
OF his degenerate successors can now SO
much as lift, (Thad Stevens of Pennsylva-
hsa. )drove his brutal reconstruction scheme
through congress, Mr. Blaine, then as now
u simple member from Maine, undertook
to fish under Thad Stevenss uplifted arm
for future southern sympathy and support,
by offering au amendment, the object of
which was to provide for com
plete eventual amnesty, including, OF
course, Jefferson Davis. The tyrant Of
the house was not, however, to be thus
| trited with, On the 18th of February
1867, Mr.. Stevens forced the house to
action on Mr.. Baine's amendment, He
used, as his wont was, more plainness than
poiteness OF speech, and unceremoniously
kicked Mr.. Blaine out of the ''sheepfold'
| OF tue radical saints into the 'goatfod'' of
| the wicked. The amendment of the
gentleman from Maine, said Mr.. Stevens.

house comes to a vote upon that amend

universal amnesty and universal Andy.
