THE influence of climate upon morals and
religion has been discussed at lengh by Draper
Buckle and others, but never more forcibly
than by Ingersoll IN his lecture in Boston on
"S to T." few evenings ago. He
says "There never was decent gov.
ernment, except where there was winter.

clouds, is natural revolutionist. 1 remem

The Easter Egg.

The custom OF using eggs at Easter is be-
coming, in our large towns, more general ev-
cry year. The wider prevalence of the GUS
tom is significant indication of the hold
which symbolism has obtained in the univer.
sal church of late-a revulsion from the liter
alism of the Reformation and its angry pro-
test against forms. There are those who
deprecate the reactionary movement, believ-
ing that unmeaning observances are disp,ac-
ing the vital principles of religion. But the
observances, when understood, are not un-
meaning, and the ministers of Christianity
would take the wise part would they but ex-
pound and emphasize the spiritual sense OF
material symbols consecrated by long use and
the reverent regard of the Fathers of the
Church. No one looks upon the Sacrament
of the Eucharist as an unmeaning symbol !;
and though the later observances of the
Church may not have scriptural sanction
they are endeared by the approval of the
saints and martyrs of the earlier days.
The Easter egg is the symbol of the great
est miracle which the hand of the Almighty
ever wrought, the miracle of life. From time
immemorial it has been held as the type of
the beginning of all things, ,and the egg occurs
in the proverbial literature Of nearly every
nation as visible mark Of the origin of life.
Its use in religious observance was not con-
fined to the Chosen People. They held il in
high honor in the feast of the Passover and
placed it by the side of the Paschal Lamb. In
later years, when the true faith had become
corrupted through foreign influence it was
associated with the bird Gig" fowl which
figures largely in rabbinical tradition.
But other nations, Egyptian, Persians,
Greeks, Gauls have regarded the egg as an
emblem of the universe. With the Persians
the New Year, celebrated at the vernal equi-
nox, was lookee upon as the renewal of all
things, as the triumph of the Sun after his
long winter of defeat. Partly influenced by
Jewish tradition, partly by the immemorial
custom ofthe East where Christianity early
set up its standard, partly by the obvious sig
nifcance of the thing, the Church adopted
the egg, as containing the elements of the
future life for the emblem of the
Resurrection. As that emblem it easily as
sociated itself in later age with the great
Spring festival of the North and that festival
and the triumphal return of the Sun, and the
Resurrection of our Lord easily blended
themselves into Easter day, the old obser-
vances becoming elevated and purified by
the lofty spirit of the new faith
Naturally the emblem of the resurrection of
life common to so many nations was retained
as symbol of the common religion, of which
the doctrine of the resurrection from the re-
gions Of death and the grave was the central
theme.

COMPULSORY education in Ohio, as re-
Gently determined by the Legislature Of that
state has called out the sneers of the Demo-
cratic press. Why the average Bourbon
cherlshes such prejudice against the school
house it is difficult to explain. No republic
can long endure except on the basis of intelli-
gent citizenship. A system that aims TO give
every child fair elementary training should
receive the cheerful support of the friends of
good government. What has given the
North the commanding position in the Union
but its schools and colleges, its institutions of
art and science. its papers and magazines
An atmosphere of liberal thought surrounds
the humblest member of society. The only
explanation is that in the elevation and en-.
lightenment of manhood the Bourbon reads
the loss of his influence and the death of a
decaying organization.

The New York Times thinks there is not
much reason for high moralzing over the
Nemesis OF the Tammany Ring. 1t wants to
know what will be the verdict of the phllos-
ophers "when they finally discover that
Tweed has purchased impunity with trifing
part of his stolen money; that Sweeny is
making terms which will secure him from
molestation; that Woodward is free and,
withal, not uuprosperous, man in Connecti-
cut; and that, generally, the surviving mem
bers ofjustice and of the Ring are proofs OF
the blindness and of the efficacy Of
bargaining as a means of counteracting
the administration Of the law?" And yet
their fate is not much Of an encouragement
to repeat the experiment.

The decoration of the Easter egg was SIM
pie at first. 1t was stained with spots of
red in memory of the blood of Christ shed at
the time of the crucifxion. How the fantas-
tic devices now seen upon it originated would
be difficult to determine. They appear to
have little connection with its embematic
meaning, though doubtless they may be
traced to old fables and traditions which have
outlived the downfall of the faiths of which
they were once part,

THE Powers of Europe must look with no
little vexation on the efforts of the Bashi-Ba
zook to undo the work they so laboriously
perform. Nearly year ago peace would
have been made, but this specimen of hui
manity, the reason for whose existence does
not appear, came 10 the front in Bulgaria and
committed outrages. Now, when by the
sweat of his chin Ignatieff has succeeded in
bringing Europe to an understanding. the
Bashi-Bazook reappears, this time in Herze-
govina, but as before, in the role of village
burner, indscriminate assassin and heavy
