Easter Games in Germany.

Easter Monday is looked upon as
grand holiday by the peasantry in many
parts of Germany. Weddings are often
deferred to this day, and many village
games are reserved for this season. The
lads and lassies all appear in their gala
costumes; the girls with short, dark
skirts, braided with gold or silver,
snowy aprons and full white sleeves,
bright-colored bodices and odd little
caps; the boys with knee-breeches, white
stockings, low shoes, and scarlet or yell
low vests, the solid gold or silver but
tons on which are often their whole in
heritance. But when they are dancing
gayly together on the green they look
good deal happier than if they were
little kings and queens.
Games vary in different villages
throughout the country, but one exam
pie will give some idea what they are
like.
Two of the leading young men of the
place take entire charge of the DAVIS
amusements, selecting for the purpose
as the scenes of festivities some inn or
WirthSchaf, to which is attached a
large garden or meadow.
For several preceding evenings, when
work is over, they go about from house
to house, dressed in their best, and car
rying large baskets on their arms.
Everywhere they are kindly received,
and bread with wine or cider is placed
before them. While they eat and drink,
the baskets are quietly slipped away by
some member of the family, generous
donation of eggs is placed within them,
and they are secretly returned to their
places. The eggs are not asked for,
neither are they alluded to in any way;
but the object of the visit is well under
stood and prepared for long before
hand.
When Monday morning dawns, the
inn is found to have been gayly decor
ated with garlands of green and flow
ers, and futtering ribbons of many
colors. The tree nearest the house is
ornamented in like manner, and on it
the prize to be contended for conspicu-
ously hangs. On the smooth grass
hard by, strip, few feet wide and
perhaps hundred long, has been roped
in, and at either end of this narrow plot
a large, shallow, round-bottomed bas-

Boston AristOcracy.

SOME of the social distinctions here
are amusing enough. 1t requires a
keen intelligence to discern upon what
they rest. There are old families in
Boston; the Quincys, the Otises, the
Winthrops, the Cabots and CROWN
shields are of the number, but exactly
what constitutes the distinction of the
present West-End aristocracy is more
difficult to define. One could easily
construct an aristocracy made up of
culture, refinement, morality and intel
ligence, but he would have to cross lines
that are considered an impossible bar
rier to do it, and he would shut out not
a few who now feel their places to be
assured There is an older Beacon
street which holds its distinction pretty
well, though not without some serious
invasions, but the newer Beacon street
has let in almost as many of tnenOuCedVG
richie as has the South End itself. The
most of these do not get into West-End
society; but some of them do. An
amusing symptom is that the Southland
people who 90 over on to the Back BAY
put on airs toward those they have left
just the same as if they had become
recognized by their new neighbors.
The South End, as body, is tabooed
all around. Even the Highlands, Dor
chester and Jamaica Plains, which ex-
tend further south and east, are in
clined to look down on it. Individually
these latter people have many friends
there, but there seems to be a general
atmosphere about the place which
makes them not proud of the connec-
ton. The fact is that the young men
of the city who were making money fast
in the period of flush times in Boston
went to the South End to live. Some
of these families were g loud'' in their
style, and they gave a tone to their
neighborhood. 1t was felt to be neces-
sary to ignore them. The panic and
the fire have disposed of not few of
these, and not few others who have
been permanently prosperous have gone
to the West End to live. There is no
occasion for keeping up social distinc-
tons in Boston to half the degree that
is attempted. The city owes more of
its advance in wealth for the last twenty
five years to the men who settled the
South End than to anything else.
There are hundreds of families living
there now who can afford to smile, and
who do smile, at the demonstrations of
superiority and exclusiveness that are
made; but the fact remains that the
West End will not know anything about
Southland society. 1t assumes to be as
Ignorant about it as if it existed in
Worcester or in Springfield. The West
End will 60 out to the Highlands; you
may find it there in the Germans and
the private parties; but it will not con-
cede anything beyond this, and it asks
that the Highlands people shall not in
vite the South End to meet itself. Such
is " society," in one of the cities of our
democratic Republic. Hartford

ket, called a Wdnne, is placed one
filled with chaff and the other with
eggs, dozens upon dozens, cooked and
raw, white and colored.
The plan of the peculiar game which
follows is that one player is pitted to
run a given distance, while another
safely throws the eggs from one basket
to the other, he who first completes his
task being, of course, the winner. Ac-
cordingly, when the young men and
maidens have arrived, two leaders
draw lots to determine who shall run
and who shall throw. That decided,
the contestants are gayly decked with
ribbons, band strikes up a lively air.
a capering clown clears the way, and
the game begins. He who throws takes
the eggs and one after another swiftly
whirls them the length of the course.
and into the chaff-filled basket, which
is held in the hands of an assistant.
Occasionally he makes a diversion BY
pitching hard one to be scrambled for
by the crowds of children who have as
sembled to see the sport. Meanwhile
(while wagers are laid as to who will
likely Wln) The other contestant speeds
the distance of mile or two to an ap-
pointed goal, marks it as proof of his
having touched it, and if he succeeds
in returning before all the eggs are
thrown the victory and the prize are
his, otherwise they belong to his oppo-
nent. The game finished, the prize is
presented to the victor with due cereg
mony and amid the cheers of the crown;
the hard eggs are distributed among
the company, and the raw ones carried
uproariously into the neighboring inn,
there to be cooked in various ways and
eaten.
The remainder of the day is spent in
dancing and merry-making, and if a
wedding can possibly be arranged to
take place on that afternoon the fun is
wilder than ever.-F. E. COrne, in ST.
Nicholas for April.

A Queer Story OF Mesmerism.

The indianapolis Journal prints the
following story in its correspondence
from the town of Rensselaer,, Ind: IAN
itinerant lecturer on mesmerism was
here last week. He gave instructions
in the art. A clerk mesmerized the
servant girl of his employer last Sun
day evening. The family, and even the
new-fedged professor became fright
ened at the condition of the girl, and
sent for another professor, who could
not remove the mesmeric influence of
the operator They then sent for a
physician, who in turn prescribed a
stimulant and left. The clerk could
not remove the influence, and the girl
lay in trance for exactly twenty-four
hours, when she awoke. The clerk will
not hear the last of it for'some time to
come"

Uric Dahlgren's Leg.

When Admiral Dahlgren was in COM
mand of the hayward here, things,
owing to the war, We're on q brisk can
ter. The old Admiral was an original
genius, as will be seen by the inscrip-
ton on a metal plate, inserted in the
cornerstone of red brick shop in the
yard, built while Dahlgren was in
charge:
Within this wall
is deposited the leg of
Col. Uric Dahlgren, U. S. ",
wounded July 9, 1868,
while skirmishing in the
streets of Hagerstown with the rebels,
after the battle of
Gettysburg.
The smile that comes while contem-
plating the resting-place of this limb of
the navy, in other words the leg of the
son who was not in the navy but whose
father was, is broadened when we learn
that the sacred leg was walled up here
among the munitions of war for years
before the death of the young man, who,
during his life, was often seen, when
the crowd was thickest, mournfully
contemplating the tomb of his dear de-
parted, while weeping friends stood
round. Other volunteers stumped by,
manned, but CHEEKY, but they. were not
sons of Admirals, and their legs were
buried in piles in bitches, instead of
being put in corner-stones to prop up
the navy of the United States. -WaSk-
