so that the rule thus proposed
would cause Easter this year to be
kept on the real anniversary, in
stead of a week later. But the
supposed necessity of following the
Paschal full moon of the Jews led
to a number of artificial rules by
which, using the golden number or
year of the Metoric cycle, the cal
endar new moon is formed, the
fourteenth day of which is the
Paschal full moon. To use the
astronomical full moon instead
would never do, since, as this oc-
ours at different local times accord
ing to the longitude of the places,
we should thus sometimes have a
different Easter in the same coun-
try, or adjacent countries. But all
confusion would be avoided bysub-
stituting an entirely solar chro-
nology, in the determination Of
Easter, which would also have the
great advantage of keeping it al
ways at the same season Of the year

every part Of theater should be,
as is every part of a ship, under the
absolute control of a responsible
official, armed with the necessary
authority for the work entrusted to
him, and that his responsibility
should admit of no doubt Of vague
ness of definition. The firemen
employed about theaters should be
really fremen-that is, persons
trained and instructed in the busi-
ness of extinguishing fires, and the
presence of really competent fire.
men would be best secured by en-
ploying in various capacities about
the theater men who have served a
certain time in some public fire
brigade; and though he seems to
doubt, whether, owing to the by nc
means superhuous number of oul
fire brigade, this could be done, the
idea is an ingenious and does not
seem an impracticable one.

Fires IN Theaters.

Captain Shaw, the chief Of the
London Fire Brigade, has publish
ed a work on the subject of "Fires
in Theaters and the best Method Of
Dealing with Them" He states
that the first thing to be provided
for is, that the external street ap-
proaches should be kept always
free and unobstruCted, and on the
first night of q play, when theater,
authors and actors are exception
ally fortunate in the favor of the
public, this should be especially at
tended to, as the orowding up of
the doorways would be highly in
convenient in the event of any ne
cessity arising for a sudden clear
ance Of the house, The practice o.
placing chairs in the gangways is
another wrong, which makes
speedy exit to the audience almost
impossible.

A walrus Hunt in tho Aretics.

"The monster lay asleep with his
broad back to us, and | am sure
the heart of the boldest man in the
boat beat quicker as, cautiously and
gently padding, we stole on him
quickly from the leeward. /, with
my rifle cooked and kneeling in the
bow, and Helstadt close to me,
grasping his harpoon, waited breath
lessly, as each moment lessened our
distance from the walrus. All at
once, and without any apparent
reason-for l don't think he could
either have seen, heard or smelt us
the bull slowly raised his head
from the ice, and made deliberate
search all round with eyes, ears and
nose. Certainly the last sniff was
not satisfactory, for, although |
don't think he saw us yet, he seemed
to have vague suspicion of danger
in the air. Possibly this was the
bull l missed yesterday, for he was
Just about the size, had similar
tusks, and was found not very far
from the same place. He would
not lie down again, so we padded
or, and | determined to shoot him
if l got a fair chance. When we
were about twenty yards offhe show
ed such a fine side-head shot that
I fired, and, the shell crashing into
his skull, he instantly fell over on
his side, and lay kickingand groan-
ing on the ice, 'Hurrahl row.
Ivek! Row! rowl' shouted every
one and the three men pulled like
mad to reach him, fearing he would
tumble over into the water and sink,
We reached him in the nick Of time,
for just as Helstadt drove his har-
poon deep into his side, the bull
rolled over into deep water"

Let your colt be domesticated

If you have your horse to serve

Do not beat your horses, nor

they will do better thereafter, for

Hocker's saw-mill, located on the
Divide, in Douglas county, and not
many miles south of this city, was
the scene Of a tragedy on Friday
evening, in which the principal ac-
tors were John P. Davis, Texan,
and VIM. Atchinson.
For some time past the hands at
this mill, many Of whom are Tex
ans, have been in the habit of
swapping opinions with young
Atehinson on the correct use and
pronunciation Of certain words
prevalent in the Lone Star State,
but innocent of a place in the
spelling book or dictionary. Young
Atchinson, who enjoyed the advan-
tages of a liberal education, was
rather enthusiastic in his defense
Of the Kings English, and this
brought him into frequent and
lively disputes with some of the
other men, notably the Texans.
On Friday evening one of these
disputes, more aggravating than
usual, occurred between j. P
Davis, as the champion of his set
and young Atchinson. The point
of contest was sprung at the sup.
per table, where Atchinson, in an,
swer to a question from the land
lady about his dog, had occasion
to say that it was of the Newfound
land breed. Davis thought Atch
inson did not pronounce the wore
Newfoundland" correctly, con
tending that it should be calleC
Newfoundland. To this Atchinson
Of course, dissented. Both partie
: now proceeded to Atchinson'
shanty, where a book was appealed
to for the purpose of proving tn
: Texan wrong. High words ant
some rather hard names followed
the appeal to the book, and Atch
inson finally struck Davis with hi
fist and knocked him down, where
; upon the latter drew his revolve
: and shot young Atchinson in tn
| stomach. He was about twenty-tw,
years of age, a native of New York
and much respected.
Davis fingered about the mill OF
Friday night, until the recovery o
young Atohinson was finally givel
up. He is also b young man, ha
a family to provide for, and is no
) without friends.

Eaater sunday and IT'S pate.

The minds of some who are de-
sirous rerum cognoscepa causas are
a little exercised this year about the
date of Easter, which falls by the
calendar on April 16, although the
moon will be full on the Sth, and
therefore the "Sunday after the full
moon" will be April 9, Nor will it
satisfy these doubters to tell them
that the Paschal full moon is the
fourteenth day Of the moon, not
the true astronomical full moon for
the full moon was on March %,
and the fourteenth day of it will
be April Z. The Rev. S. Newland
Smith, of Greenwich, published a
work about three years ago in
which he proposed that golden
numbers and dominical letters
should be discarded in the matter
and that the simple, convenient and
uniform rule should be adopted o.
keeping Easter always on the sec
ond Sunday in April, which
there is no reason TO doubt
was the Sunday Of the Resurrec
ton That event took place, in al
