EASTER,
Its characteristics and Observance.

OSth a1AnSSs
To day is Easter Sunday. Through
out the Christian world it ommemor
ates the morn on which the Savior rose
from the dead as a triumphant re-
deemer of a fallen race. The forty
days of fasting and of special medita-
ton on sinfulness and the eliminating
events in the Christian plan of saliva.
ton are ever, and the devout who have
been obedient Il the teachings of their
church to-day burst the shackles of
self sacrificing restraint and resume
the business of life and the agreeable
round of social employment with a re-
bound proportionable to the %privation,
for the time being, endured in worldly
things. The feasts CT the church are
strong in the contrasts of succession.
Lent is ushered in by the vio-
lent revelry of the carnival; Holy
Week, which closes it, is invested with
a religious gloom peculiarly impress
sive. Easter Week introduces a re-
vival of joyfulness and merry-mak-
ing more sober than the license If the
carnival and far more pleasurable in
its associations.
EAsTERTIDE.
There are certain festival DAYS
shining out like marks in the dull
common place round of the world
whose celebration will never be abol-
ished. These days become insepara-
bly, identified with the seasons of the
year in which they occur, and
rs winter would not be winter
without its season of Christmas
time, so even in the colder climates
Easter has come to be regarded as
Synonymous with spring. The tufts
of sickly, yellowish grass yet pale
from the chilling embrace of winter
begin to straighten themselves out
and reach up TO meet the sunshine
with a glow of returning confidence.
In almost every other country, saw
the desert and sagebrush plains Of our
State, one can almost imagine the buds
expanding in the air and scent the
fragrance of flowers yet to be. While
before solitary vices thrilled a carol of
welcome to spring, now from every
tree and hedge sweet voices join in the
chorus, for Easter is the festival of Ma
ture to which she brings her first and
choicest flowers. Originally it a
A HEATHER FESTIVAL
In honor of Ostera, the goddess OF
spring, or of the revivification of life,
and its celebration was a merry car
nival of eggs and flowers. Pasch
eggs. as the colored Easter eggs are
called, possessing in themselves the
germ of future life, were chosen as the
emblem of the springing forth of life
in spring and were given as presents
among friends and a~cquaintances. BY
the church Easter is celebrated as EN-
blematc of the resurrection and the
future life. In all Roman Catholic
countries its advent is attended with
even o OF pomp and circumstance
than that of others, coming as ii
does a glorious finale to the forty days
of fasting and prayer. Each country |
has something distinctive in its mode
of observing the festivities of Easter,
except Scotland, which wholly ignores
its observance, caring no more for the
festival than does France for st. Val
entine's day.

Not Deranged.

George w. Miles, a brother to the
man of whom we published an &C.
count of yesterday morning, taken
from the Sacramento papers, yester-
day telegraphed to Chief of Police
Stevens, of that city, to have his
brother properly taken care of at his
expense. He does not think it posi-
BILE that his brother is deranged, but,
as the papers stated, had been proba-
bly, drugged and robbed.

WASHINGTON, d. c.,
March Is, 1877.

BY act of Congress, approved March
3, 1877, a post road was established in
Nevada, viz: From Belmont to the
Willows on the Austin and Eureka
mail route.
The notice fails to state the charac-
ter of the route, whether weekly, tri-
weekly or daily, but we infer the for.
mer. A petition containing the names
of nearly every resident of Belmont,
another from the citizens of Typo, and
a third now at the Postoffice here,
are to be presented to Congress, at the
next session, praying for the estab-
lishment of a post road between those
places and Eureka. Hon. Thomas
Wren, our newly-elected Representa-
tive to Congress, is to take the petit
tons with him to Washington and
urge the necessity of such a route
being established. The growing i'm
portance of both places demands the
same mail facilities enjoyed by other
mining towns of the State, and we
have no doubts but what Mr.. Wren
will meet with success in presenting
this claim of the people to the De-
partment.
