MISSING.

The Baltimore city detectives are engaged
in trying to find ]. ]. Neiland, business man
ager Of the New York house of Rudd &
Bracket, dealers in cofees. Neiland came
to Baltimore in the early part of February
and opened branch Office, fitting it up
handsomely with samples of goods sold
by the New York house. He engaged as
his agents George 4. Jarman and w. H, III,
Lusby, and did large business. On Tues.
day afternoon last Neiland came into the
Office, and after securing his private papers
remarked to Jarman that he was going up
town and would return in about ten minutes
but has never been seen since. His absence
caused no suspicion until when Jarman &
Lusby telegraphed to the firm in New York
asking if they had heard Of or seen Neiland
and whether or not he had drawn the COM
missions due, to which they sent reply in
the negative. This eased their minds and
they made further inquiry as to his where
abouts, but could find nothing that would
lead to clew. He owes no money as far
as can be learned. His mysterious disap
pearance has aroused considerable interest
in mercantile circles.

TOMORROW, Easter, will be observed by
the whole Christian world in commenora-
ton of the resurrection of Jesus Christ
whose religion has done more to civilize and
increase the happiness Of mankind than all
the others that preceded it, Atheists, inf

upon as long as they are unable to offer any
thing In exchange for the faith they would
destroy. That faith and it alone has been
the means Of keeping untold millions Of men
and women in the paths of rectitude, OF
preserving them in times of sore temptation
and of sustaining them on their departure to
their eternal homes. To deprive them of it
without giving them any thing in its stead
Is crime against both God and man which
must meet with retribution either in this

ONE OF BENToN's SCENES IN THE SENATE.
Inferior in intellectual ability to Webster,
Clay, or Calhoun, Thomas Hart Benton had
no superior as q man of iron will and haugh-
ty disposition, during the twenty-nine years
and seven months that he served continuous
ly in the United States Senate. Aggressive,
bold and defiant, he would occasionally
strike out recklessly at everything and
everybody about him, like the huge wild
builaloes OF the Missouri prairies, trcading
his opponents beneath his feet in his angry
rush. His greatest display of ungovernable
rage IN the Senate chamber was when, in an
angry debate, he advanced with threatening
gestures toward Senator Foote, Of Mlssssip-
pr, VINO rearing that he was to be attacked
are" a small pocket-pistol. The sight of
tnls weapon maze Benton uncomfortable,
ana, endeavorins to shake Off the grasp of
friends who seized him, he shouted 1.-THE
cowardly assassin; let him shoot me If he
dares. never carry arms, and he knows
it. Let the assassin fire - After ouiet
was somewhat restored, Clay suggested that
both senators should enter into bonds to
keep the peace, upon which Benton rose and
exclaimed: 81 will rot in jail sir, before I
will do it! No, sir! I will rot in jail
first" and he proceeded to pour forth a
torrent of bitter nvective on Foote before
he could be quoted. Even when he was
defeated in seeking a reelection for the sixth
time in the Senate, and was forced to accept
a seat In the House of Representatives, Ben
ton failed to display a chastened ambition
or softened heart.-Aprit Century.

ANOTHER BALTIMORE SCANDAL

i domestic scandal has been brought to
light in Baltimore through the filing of u
bill in equity in one of the courts. The
plaintiff, Mrs. Rachel Furstcnberg, is bride
oftwo months IS years Of age, Of netite
figure, and brunette OF the most pronounce
ed type. The defendant, Levi Furstenberg,
is 60 years Of age, and wealthy and prom
inent citizen. Hewas wdower with three
grown children by 4 former marriage. to
which fact is largely attributed the domes-
tic nnhappiness that has so speedily follow
ed the i'll starred union. Furstenberr two
weeks after the marriage, according to the
DILL up to which time he had been lovingly
tender. suddenly began a different course of
treatment, abusing his wife shamefully. and
refusing to supply her with necessary funds
for her support. Since the marriage the
couple have resided at Barnum's hotel
furstenburg being possessed of ample means
bis estate being estimated as worth sl5O,OOO
The bill further states that Furstenberg en-
ployed an attorney to prepare deeds for the
conveyance of all her real estate, and repre-
sented to his wife that it was necessary to
sign certain papers in order to raise the
money which she required; being ignorant
OF fall legal tormalities she signed the papers
and subsequently learned that she had in
doing so forfeited all claims upon her es.
tate. She represents that she has been
true and faithful wife to defendant and is
at loss TO account for his extraordinary
conduct. The necessary bond having been
filed, the court granted an injunction res
training defendant from alternating his prop
erty pending decision. Both husband and
wife continue to reside at Barnum's hotel,
but occupy separate apartments and hold
no communication with each other. Mrs.
Furstenberg's character is above reproach.
and the sad sequel to this romantic marri-
age is rendered even more distressing from
the fact that the youthful bride is in a deli
cate condition.

EASTER EGGs.-It is difficult to ascertain
the precise origin of the graceful custom, so
universal throughout the world, of offering
eggs at the festival Of Easter The Persians
give each other eggs at the new year; the
Russians and Jews at the festival of Easter,
Among the Romans the year commenced at
Easter, as it did among the Franks under
the Capets. Mutual presents were bestowed;
and, as the egg is the emblem of the bepin-
ming of all things, nothing better could be
found as al offering. The symbolic mean
ing is striking; eggs are the germ of fecun-
dity and abundance; and we wish our friends
all the blessings contained within the slen-
der she'll when we offer this gift, whose fra.
gility represents that of happiness here be-
low. The Romans commenced their repasts
with an egg. In Christian countries. from
the fourth century, the church prohibited
the use of eggs during the forty DAYS Of
Lent; but az the hens did not cease to Law,
a large quantity of eggs were found to have
accumulated at the end of the period of
abstinence. These were usually given to
the children, and in order to render them
more attractive, they were dyed with CAV
colors or otherwise ornamented. A fayorite
game was to knock two eggs together. and
whichever broke became the property ofhim
who held the other. Of course this would
not profit much if the eggs were in a fluid
state, and thence came the custom of boiling
them hard. In some remote districts Of
France it is still customary for the priest of
the parish to go round to each house at
Easter and bestow on it his blessing. In
return he receives eggs, both plain and
painted. On Easter morning, at the sound
OF the rejoicing bells, fair angels with azure
wings were believed to descend from
heaven, bearing baskets of eggs, which they
deposited in the houses Of the faithful.
