ssHE TooK A HAND.

Up in Lacon there lives a woman who
objects to having her husband waste his
time playing pool, as the following from
the Lacon Democrat win testify: I'VE sup
pose pool is fascinating game. A man
in town has been putting in more time at
it lately than his wife thought was abso-
lutely necessary, and Saturday evening last
she dropped in ON little game in which
he was deeply interested. When it came
his turn to shoot she took her cue (excuse
the pun from the other players, and made
shoot with brick, which struck the balls
on the table and caromed off against the
wall. Such a master shot created conster-
nation, and the loungers about the room
fled in all directions. She then collared
her husband and took him home. Hedon't
take any interest in pool now"

A writer states that Easter this year will
be kept on the anniversary of the day on
which the Saviour's resurrection occurred.
The statement is in conflict with the
dates mentioned by Renan:
Sunday, 9th of Nissan, March %, A. d.
So; Monday, 10th Of Nisan March 80, A.
d. 80; Tuesday, 18th of Nissan, March 81,
A. d. SO; Wednesday, 18th of Nissan,
April /, A. D. 33.
During this time Jesus slept at Bethany
or else at Mount of Olives, and came into
Jerusalem during the day. On Wednesday
the Pharisees held q new council at the
house of Joseph Caiaphas and resolved
upon the immediate arrest of Jesus. Thurs
day 18th of Nissan (April 81 The Last
Supper" was held. The feast Of the Pass

To THE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS:

TorTHE EDITOR OF THE ARGUS:
SIR noticed in your Issue of yester-
day an advertisement of Mr. Gaylord, OF
this city which was copy, word for word,
of a notice wrote some days ago. To ap-
propriate another's advertisement denotes
either trickery or paucity of brains and it
would be interesting to know whether
your reporter. or the Photographic indi-
vidual alluded to appropriated my proper
ty. That property this time was but an adver-
tisement and therefore only have feelings
of pity for the person who needs things.
SO small In conclusion need only say
that my notice as applied to the person
who used it, is very inconsistent and IN
worthy of further attention.
Yours etc.,
