TIE DATE OF EASTER-About this
season Of the year many people are
asking what it is that determines the
date of Easter. The answer is the
moon Of March, which Tennyson calls
"thc roaring moon OF daiiu,iiiiS." The
old rule is that Easter Shall fall on the
Sunday after the full moon which
comes after the vcrnal equinox. That
brings Easter this year on the 25th of
Nllfch. In 1881 it fell on the 22d Of
March, the earliest date possible. It
will not fall 'ipo,' that day again in
this or the following century.

manager of the Richmond & Danviiic
Railroad Company, to get some i'll
formation about the new schedules, Of
which good deal has Been said of
late. Colonel Talcott says that the
Company is very anxious to put on
two daily trains for mail and passcn-
gers as soon as business will justify.
The schedule mcGting will bc held in
Richmond in April, when it is proba-
ble that permanent schedule will be
adopted. Two trains day on the
Charlotte, Columbia u Augusta Rail-
road will be matter Of great accom-
mediation to the people along its line.
1t is to be hoped that the Company
may decide that such an arrangement
will pay.
