Tar Buckets.

Since time whence the memory of our
Oldest citizens runneth not to the contrary it
has been the custom for the youth of Port
land to celebrate Washington's birthday by
burning tar buckets in the evening The
Hon, John Mussey and the venerable Cap
tain Cammett can only say that it was land
mark when they were boys, and Mr.. Gould,
the historian, can make no definite guess as
to its origin, except the suggestion that the
custom of signalling by beacons was an early
custom among the Colonists, and that Beacon
Hill in Boston derived its name from its use
as signal station. He says also that Graves
Hill, near Portland, has at some time been
used for that purpose. Occasionally other
events are celebrated here in the same man
ner, as on the night when Mayor Mcclellan
allowed the bells to be rung at midnight to
announce the glad news of Lees surrender;
then tar buckets were fired in many streets.
But the special occasion is the twenty-second
of February. when the streets invariably
blaze with bonfres. Time was that great
license was taken in the observance; when
the ''Clay Covers" would start hauling on a
sled huge barrel of tar stolen from some
merchants door, and, reinforced by con-
tingent of sailor friends, would parade the
streets. seizing all the smaller buckets they
came across to add to their own rapidly con-
suming freight. The SANDY Hollow" boys
from Washington street would come forth in
similar style, and the "Gorham Cornerers''
xrrnDd mo to q fhirI 1af oh
mon enemy were the 'Hog Towners," or the
west-end boys, but often the rival parties
would meet and severe tussels with clubs en-
sued, ending in the capture of one or the
other buckets, and then the victors had
everything their own way for that night
The City authorities have always looked with
great leniency upon these demonstrations,
being willing to pardon something to the
spirit of liberty, and never undertook but
once to stop it entirely. That happened
nearly thirty years when the watch house
was on Lime Street. In conformity to Or
ders, the watchmen undertook to arrest all
who offended and several were lodged in the
watch house, but the boys rallied, and aided
by their elder allies, stormed the doors and
released the victims, much to the discomfi-
ture of Mr.. Norton, the excellent City Mar
shal. Since that day the more disorderly
elements of the celebration have disappeared,
but the custom is kept up with equal fervor
by the smaller boys, while older citizens ey-
IDENTITY look on with an approving eye. The
time of year, when the ground is covered
with snow, makes it less dangerous than at
any other season, and as an observance
peculiar to Portland it cannot fail to excite
much interest among people who have a
soft spot in their hearts for old times and old
fashions.

IN the decision of the New York University
to open its doors to women students
an advantage has been gained that promises
great results for the higher education of wo-
man in that city. The design is to give to
yonng women opportunity to study all
the branches they may desire in law, medi-
cine, science or belles-lettres, and to give
them as perfect facilities and as thorough in
struction as is enjoyed by their brother stu
dents. In order to defray the extra expenses
rendered necessary in the increase of the
faculty to meet the demands of the move
ment, a small tuition will be required. 1t is
hoped that at no distant day the resources
at the command of the college will be suffici-
emily ample to make instruction of women as
free as is that of the young men at present
DR.. Howard Crosby, the chancellor of the
university, has for some time had this gener-
GUS scheme in contemplation. The two
great universities of England are disposed to
move in this matter, and it is sbeleyed that
ina few years their doors will be open to
women students either in company with
men students or, as is proposed in the pres
ent plan, in separate classes, with equal fa-
cilities for instruction.

HER Maies.y's Theatre. London was so,

HER Majesty's Theatre, London, was sold
by aution on Feb. 1. At the Queens Thea
tire, on the same site, Handel in I'll pro-
duced 'Rinaldo," the first of his long series
of works for the Anglo-Italian stage. 1t be.
came the Kings Theatre on the accession of
George l., and retained that title until the
accession Of Queen Victoria, when Her Maj
esty's Theatre was substituted for the old
name. In 1867 the old building was burned
and the present structure took its place. but
was not used as an opera house. Two years
ago Mr.. Moody preached and Mr.. Sankey
sang in this theatre during the revival SER
vices in London. AT the sale one of the pro-
prietors of the Alhambra Palace offered e26.-
900 for it and then withdrew the bid, The
auctioneers insisted upon holding him to his
word.

Political Notes.

Wouldn't thorough examination of the
Oregon conspiracy before the Tribunal be
edifying to the average Tilden Democrat?
Ii Congress, before announcing the deci.
sion as TO Louisiana had enacted an internal
revenue tax on profanity, the Democrats
could have been made to pay off the National
debt before next Saturday night.
The Provident Association will now have
TO take care of large number of Democratic
patriots who were expecting foreign missions
under Tilden. The soup-houses all over the
country will be crowded.
Congressman Hewitt says he will be troub-
led less if Hayes gets in than if Tilden does,
for in the latter case he would have to sign
thousands of recommendations for office,
while in the former he probably wouldn't
nave 10 sign any. 1t is evident that Hewitt
is philosopher.
Nowhere is power given to either house of
Congress to pass upon the election, either the
manner or the fact, OF electors for President
and Vice Pre- sident: and If the Congress of
the Uniied States, either one or both houses,
shall assume, under the guise or pretext Of
telling or counting vote, to decide the fact
OF the election of electors who are to form the
college by whom the President and Vice
President are to be chosen, then they will
have taken upon themselves an authority for
which l, for one, can find no warrant in the
charter OF limited powers.-Senator Bayard.
taco gears ago.
Meeting Judge Swayne of the United
States Supreme Court, after the decision of
the electoral commission in the Florida case,
Representative Abram S. Hewitt of New
York said: ''Judge, isn't it painful to note
the fact that the judges on the electoral COM
mission do not rise above partisanship, but
uniformly vote on party lines?' The Judge,
assuming distressed expression of counte-
nance. but with merry twinkle in his eye,
replied: "Why, yes, my dear sir, it was
subject OF modification to me, and have
seriously thought of demonstrating with
Brothers Clifford and Field on that subject;
but you know it would be rather delicate
matter for me to do, and perhaps you had
better speak to them yourself Washington

MINISTERIAL changes are matters of yery
common occurrence in Turkey. The Sultan
has removed the new Grand Vizier, who had
hardly got warm in his seat, and appointed
Mahmoud Damad in his place. Damad is
SAID to be a rank conservative, fully bent
upon abrogating the new Constitution. As
to the Turco-Russian war nothing important
has transpired between the two Governments
for several days. But action, which speaks
louder than words, indicates that the two
large, hostile armies will soon stand face to
face. The drift towards an open conflict
seems unmistakable.

THE last levy of Turkey the Mustafz-
is now for the first time called out, and Off
GERS are sent to fetch men from their villages.
The militia at present lack arms and uni
forms. and two officers have been sent to
Austria to conclude contracts for them. The
collections of the war-exemption tax has COM
menced in Bulgaria, every person above fif-
teen paying ten or twety piastres.

The blistering shame and worldwide dis
grace OF having the chair filed by Washing
ton and Lincoln captured by a briber who
conducted the Presidential campaign himself
in person, and lavished money with the most
corrupt hand, are to be spared the United
States and the friends of Republican institu-
tions everywhere, whereat good men of all
parties fervently rejoice.

THR Democratic journals are right. An
honorable defeat is less to be deplored than a
dlshonorable victory. 1t is much better that
the Democratic party should be buried by a
reputable Commission than live through the
agency of bulldozing and bribery.
