EGGS 1T EASTER.

The custom of eating eggs at Easter
has been traced up not only to the the,
olo;3y of Egypt, but to the philosophy of
the Persians, the Gauls, the Greeks and
the Romans, all Of whom regarded the
egg as an emblem of the universe and
the work of Deity. easter" says
Gebelin, "and New Years have been
marked by similar distinctions. Among
the Romans the New Year is looked upon
as the renewal of all things, and is noted
for the triumph Of the sun of nature, as
Easter is with the Christians for the Son
of Justice, the Savior Of the world, over
death, by His resurrection. The early
Christians Of Mesopotamia had the Gus
tom of dyeing and decorating eggs at
Easter. They were stained red in mem
ory of the blood of Christ shed at Ills
crucifixion. The Romish church adopt
ell the custom, and regarded the eggs as
the emblem OF the resurrection, as is
evidenced by the benediction of Pope
Paul V, about 1910, which read thus:
"Blcss, 0 Lord We beseech thee, this
Thy creature OF eggs, that it may become
a wholesome sustenance to Thy faithful
servants, eating it in thankfulness to
Thee on account of the resurrection Of
the Lord Thus the custom has come
down from ages lost in antiquity.

APRIL.

Yes, we know that thou art fair,
Hayward, saucy child of spring.
Thy very birth makes fools of men,
And all through thy careless reign
Cloud and shadow dost thou bring.
Blue thine eyes, and bright thy face!
What of that ? Thou art not true.
Smiles one moment, tears the next,
One day pleased, the other vext-
No one knows tUhdt thou wilt do.
Full of moods and full of praDhS,
Who on earth can trust thy face?
Thy promises, however fair,
Thou dost at any time forswear,
Spite of all thine artless grace.
Oh, we know thee through and through,
Willful April And we know
That thy mission is to
With thy smiles (and weeping too)
Gentle Mays sweet buds to grow.
If they will not come for smiles,
Try and win them with thy showers.
Do thy duty, April kind,
And thy moods we will not mind
sinee thou wooest Mays bright flowers.

The mellow thrush with speckled breast and glossy
soft brown wing;
The perfume of the volets is waited on the bree
The cawing rocks their wicker nests fix ON the old
elm trees.
Sing on o minstrel stout and true minstrel brave
and bold
The carly dawn is chilled with dew, the eve is keen
But what of that? TIE time of love and blossoms
is at hand
Make thou thy sweet voice. birdie heard DER all the
greening land.
Not yet white with f1ower-snow the boughs of
yonder pear,
Not yet the orchard apple shows her petals pink and

The trees, buildings here and there, arc bare to
look upon;
Yet still sing on, minstrel sweet, minstrel bold
sing oni
Thus in adversely, when darkest shows the
night,
Upon the edge of somber clouds will gleam staret
bright;
And thus to fainting hearts word of love doth
comfort bring,
As thou singst on through storm and cloud, brave
minstrel of the spring!

Il CHILI1N HOLOCIU UST.

The greatest loss of life from fire in a
public building during the present cent
ury was in church at Santiago, Chill,
Dec. 8, 1862. It was in the evening" and
the building was crowded by more than
1900 persons. The church was festooned
with gauze drapery, and Illuminated by
thousands of lights. Suddenly trans
parency on the altar caught fire, and the
whole interior instantly became mass
of flames The church had but one door
that could be reached by the panic
stricken multitude, and that opened to
the inside. It was horrible. In less
than fifteen minutes about ?, 900 persons,
mostly women and children, perished.
The Legislature of Chill, after this dis
aster, passed an act prohibiting illumina-
tions of churches, and requiring suffi-
cient number of doors of egress in every
public building to secure the speedy
safety OF an audience.

In ACCORDANCE with the order Of the
Secretary of War last week, the U. S
troops which were used by Ulysses Grant
to control the election in Louisiana and
left there to sustain Packard's bogus
government, were withdrawn from the
State House in New Orleans on Tues
day and marched to the o. S barracks
several miles distant
Thus ends the military occupation Of
Louisiana and the sustentation by the
General Government Of carpet-bag gov
ernments in the Southern States by
force of arms. it is hoped forever.
Though this might and should have
been done within a few days after the
inauguration of the new administration,
it is done at last, and, on the principal
that good is better done late than not
at all. the people of the country will be
measurably grateful Justice, though
long delayed, has come at last, and for
this, if they had no other cause, the
American people would have abundant
reason to thank God for the removal of
Grant from the Presidency.
On the removal Of the troops the
so-called government of Packard fell at
once to the ground from sheer inability
to stand without the prop Of U. S.
bayonets; the Packard Legislature
dissolved or mingled with the legal
Legislature Of the State; Gov. Mich
oils assumed ful! sway over every por-
tion Of the State government and every
thing became serene and peaceful
Packard and bis parasites who lost their
offices growled Of course, but their com
plants we're given but little heed, and
they were left to the contemplation of
the failure of their evil schemes.
The Legislature, in joint session,
subsequently elected Judge NJ. H.
spoEord, one Of the most intelligent
and best of her citizens to represent the
State in the Senate Of the United
States.

the effect of the election Of Judge Spot

Of only three votes. Should another
Democrat be elected in Louisiana it will
reduce the Republicans to two votes,

day BY politicians here as a well-ascer-

WAR IN EUROPE The long-threat
ened war between Russia and Turkey
has at last begun. A formal declara.
ton Of war was issued early this week
BY the Russian Government and large
bodies of troops were at once moved
into Turkish territory. This invasion
Of their soil was promptly met BY the
Turks and the first battle is reported
to have been fought on Wednesday at
Tchurukson, in which the Turks claim
to have defeated the Russians with the
loss Of 800 men. Another battle is
imminent and will, doubtless, be fought
within few days if it has not already
commenced. Thus the great struggle
has actually begun. Where or when
it will end is beyond mortal ken. 1t
may be like the war between France
and Germany-short and seyere-or it
may last for years and draw all the rest
Of Europe into it All the other
powers are making extensive prepara-
tions to be ready for emergencies.
