Justice were closed, aims were
distributed, slaves were freed, and
the people gave themselves up to en-
joyment and feasting. In nearly all
Christian countries the recurrence Of
Easter has been celebrated with vari-
GUS ceremonies and popular sports and
observances. Among the best known
Is the custom Of making presents Of
colored eggs, called pasch or pace eggs,
which were often deliberately orna-
mented. In some parts of Ireland the
legend is current that the sun dances
In the sky on Easter Sunday morning.
This was once a prevailing superstition
In England also, which Sir Thomas
Browne, in his Enquiry into Vulgar
Eorrors," thought 1t not superfiu-
GUS to declare unfounded. The
game Of ball was o favorite
Easter sport, In which municipal cor
porations formerly engaged with due
parade and dignity, and until within a
few years past, the game was kept up
with great spirit by twelve old women.
| In the northern countries Of England
the men parade the streets on Easter
Sunday aud claim the privilege Of lift
| ing every woman three times from the
ground, receiving In payments kiss or
or silver sixpence. The same Is
done by the women to the men next
day.

servedin the churches Of our city. to-

According to our cable dispatches to-day
the Montenegrtns achi-vsi a substantial
victory over the Turkish forces 10 the battle
of Urbiza- This may serve to revive tbs
dropping courage OF the ServIans who have
mus far been beaten pretty steadily by the
Turks. The Belgrade correspondent OF the
New York Tunes, whose letters. by the
way, are the best that have appeared from
Inc seat OF war there, has a very poor opin-
Ion OF the Servian forces and their officers.
Zen. Tchernsyeff, he says, has mmltted
grave fault at the inception OF his first cam
paign. AS Nish (Sissa) was his objective,
he should have attacked IL with his whole
army In mass. Instead of this he has di.
yided his 10 900 men into three columns con-
vergent upon the fortress, but separated
from each other by distances equivalent, re-
spectively, TO twelve and fifteen hours
march. Now there are some twenty thou
sand Turks In Nissa, and 1t requires no
great military genius to foresee the fate OF
The several columns In detail If tue enemy
be even moderately enterprising.
servia Is doubtless the spark destined to
light the great European conhagration, and
from her gallant but too precipitate action
may spring the great war In which Christian
Will be arrayed against Christian In the de-
fence of The barbarians who affect to look
upon their champions as their slaves and
bondsmen, and VINO never use their names
save when coupled with the epithets of dog
and swine and unbeliever.
1t would have been possible for Servia to
have rallied to her standard every militant
Christian In the world. Unfortunately she
mas given and still gives a handle to the
attacks OF her enemies. She claims to fight
for the cause OF Christian freedom, and she
herself sets the example OF religious intol-
erance, and not even the Moslem are more
bigoted against Christians in general than
are the Servisns against every Christian
sect which differs from their own. To hold
Office under the Servian government one
must be Of the Servian Greek Church, and
neither Protestant, Catholic, nor Jew, what
ever be his AGILITY, can occupy q position OF
trust or profit OF any importance. The Aus
1rian Consulate General has fitted up a
private Catholic chapel within the walls OF
his palace; SO has done the representative OF
Germany; but from beneath the shadow of

So, after all the talk about the hot nd dry
weather last month, IL will be seen by refer
ence 10 the figures OF the signal service,
printed elsewhere, that this July was no
warmer than July. 1872, and not SO hot as
July, ISL; while there was more rain fell
last month than In any July since 1871. To
be sure, we got the most of this rain In one
day, which makes q difference. And then,
as regards temperature, 1t must be remem.
bered that the cool weather a few days past
very materially lowered the average range
of the mercury.
