AUSTRIA has in effect at least, signified
her intention not to enter the congress
Of powers without England The action
of Austria and Germany on this subject
seems to be causing slight weakening
at St. Petersburg and there is again a
strong probability that Russia will grant
about all that England demands in ref
erence to the San Stefano treaty.
Another thing that is influencing Rus
sia to keep out of war with England,
is the disposition of Roumania to object
to the provisions of the treaty, and al
though Roumania alone would not be
able to resist Russia, the former inter
ests are identical with those of Austria.
These combining powers and Russia's
financial embarresments will probably
prevent her from engaging IN any new
war at present.

Easter Eggs.

The custom of eating eggs at Easter
has been traced up, not only to the
theology of Egypt, but to the philo-
sophy of the Persians, the Gauls, the
Greeks ana the Romans, all of whom
regarded the egg as an emblem of the
universe and the work of Deity
" Easter" says Geblin, land New
Years have been marked by similar
distinctions. Among the Romans the
New Year is looked upon as the re-
newal of all things, and is noted for the
triumph of the son Of nature, as Easter
is with the Christians for the Sun of
Justice, the Savior of the world, over
death by His resurrection" The early
Christians of Mesopotamia had the
custom of dying and decorating eggs at
Easter. They were stained red in
memory of the blood of Christ shed at
His crucifixion. The Catholic Church
adopted the custom, and regarded the
eggs as the emblem of the resurrection
as is evinced by the benediction of
Pope Paul V. about 1910, which read
thus Bless, 0 Lord we beseech
thee, Thy creature of eggs, that it may
become 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
ir anti0uity.

INTELLIGENCE from Washington is to
the effect that the senate will soon take
up the house bill for the repeal of the
resumption act, and take vote upon
it. The finance committee of the
senate consists of Messrs. Morrill,,
Dawes. Ferry, Jones, Allison, Howe,
Wallace, Bayard, and Herman. If the
committee reports the bill favorably it
will not be by more than one majority,
as Morrill,, Dawes. Bayard and Herman
are known to be opposed to it. 1t
IS not believed that the bill can pass the
senate, and there is not much interest
taken in it, as it is certain that the
president would Teto it if it should pass
and it cannot pass over a veto III the
senate.
