EASTER EGGS.
Something About the custom-How
TO Dye Them.

TO Dye Them.
Easter comes very early indeed this
year; upon the 25th of March, which
is almost as early as it can ever be,
and il Is OF importance TO the young
folks to know something of the man.
ner OF coloring Easter eggs. 1t is a
good plan, too, for the egg eolorers of
neighborhood to hold q sort Of
"bee," and unite in the production of
the dyes, thus saving time and money,
The exchange of eggs between friends
as token of love or friendship, is a
very ancient custom, dating back al
most TO the flood, for it Ii symbol
of the ark, as well as of the resurrec-
ton, which is the reason that they are
presented at Easter. IL is moreover a
very universal custom prevailing
among different nations and religions.
The Jews placed eggs on their Pass
over tables, the Druids used them in
their ceremonies, and the Persians
frequently gave them as New Years
gifts. II you should happen to be IN
Russia this month, Russian would
greet you OH Easter morning with
"Christ has risen,n and offer you AN
Easter egg, and stranger still, il you
were in the far East, a Mohammedan
would do the same. At city confec-
TONERS, fancy sugar eggs-some of
them OF enormous size, and contain
ing panoramas OF landscapes anu fig
ures, or else filled with bon-bons-
may be had at all prices; but appro-
pirate home ones are worth twice as
much. Agnes Carr, in the American
Agriculturist for March, gives a re-
ceipt for dyeing Easter eggs as
follows ITO dye eggs, onion skins put
in the water in which they are
boiled will make them bright yellow
or, il left longer in the solution, a
rich brown. Log wood or violet ink
gives a royal purple, Coehineal, pink
and crimson; aud many pieces oi
ehintz or bright ribbons that fade
easily, If sewed tightly round the eggs
will color them nicely In figures,
stripes aud dots. Another way Is To
DIP the egg into hot water, and then
write name or motto Oh the shell
with tallow. Ii is then boiled in the
solution OF dye-wood, when the in
scription will appear IN white, upon a
colored ground. THose who are skill
ful with pencil and paint-brn.h can
present their friends with really eN-
| auisite souvenirs, by ornaInenting
eggs with flowers and butterflies, OF
appropriate texts of scripture. Fol
these painted eggs, il Is better to pune
tnre a tiny hole With n pin IN each
side, and blow out the inside, leaving
a clear shell, than To boil themi and
the apartures can be concealed by
stars OF gilt or silver paper

Three Dollars a Day.

We have been shown dispatch
from Hamilton, which states that the
Sweetwater Company will only pay
its miners and millmen 50 per day.
We doubt II they can secure eompe-
tent men at that figure for any length
of time. If wages have to come down
10 that figure, the most competent
workmen will seek some other section
OF the country where living is cheap

SUICIDE.
Dougald McNaughtOn Ends His
EmrShly Career.

DOuRnld McNaughtOn Ends HIS
Earthly Career.
The Eureka Sentinel has the follow
ing particulars of the suicide OF Dou-
g&ld McNaughtsn, who was well
known here. Many of our people
know the deceased's wife, too, [nee
Miss Laura Hagar.l The couple had
been married but a short time, and
their relations seem to have been any
thing bat happy:
Duga{d McNaughton, a miner we'll
known in Eureka, preferring the un-
certainties of an immediate future to
the pains, real or fancied, of the pres
ent, shot himself through the head
Sunday afternoon. He was large,
fine-looking man, in full health and
generally seemed as cheerful as most
other people. BY those who knew
him in his various moods, however,
he was said to be, at times, irritable,
cranky, suspicious and unreasonable.
He was recently married, and If re-
port is correct, the marital relations
seemed to develop demon in him.
AS the story goes, he had been mar
ried but few days when he locked
his wife up in room, from which
she escaped in terror aud sought the
protection Of her parents. 1t is said
that he entreated his bride to return
to him, but that she felt so outraged
by his treatment OF her that she re-
mained deaf 10 all his pleadings and
promises OF reform. 1t is surmised
that this trouble was the immediate
cause of his balancing in favor of the
tpresumed) other world and Of taking
his own lite.
The circumstances otherwise are
about as follows:
DIR. Hagar, whose sister is the widow
of McNaughton, went to his drug
store late Sunday evening, about dusk
and found this note, which had been
left there for him during the afternoon
by George Douglass:
Dir. HAaAR: When you receive
this | will be no more, Come to some
point above the Albion works and
you will there find my remains. Be
kind enough to give me a decent
burial. Men.
George Douglass states that Nc
Naughton had given the note early in
the afternoon with instructions to
leave it where he did. lie says he
observed an excited look about the
deceased when he handed him the
note, but that this circumstance did
not strike hun as very singular at the
time.
DIR. Hagar proceeded forthwith 10
the Sheriff's office, whence, In compa-
ny with Mr.. Sweeney, they went to
the Albion mine. Thence they sepa-
rated in search for the body, being
assisted by Mr.. Mcnamara. About
200 yards beyond the works the
corpse was discovered lying on its
back, bullet hole through the head
and u pistol lying close by discharged.
Upon examination 1t was found that
the ball had entered the flesh by the
roof of the mouth and had passed
through the top OF the head.
Summoning additional help the
body was carried TO wagon on the
road, and thence conveyed to Hjulis
undertaking esta ablishment, where an
inquest was held yesterday afternoon.

Twisting the News.

Hon. o. II. Grey is in hard luck.
When he arrived home from here he
found that his partner had absconded
and his store attached. The liabilities
are said to be quite heavy. Mr.. Grey's

Carson Appeal.
The above paragraph is false so far
as II refers TO Mr.. Grey's partner alb

Married 10 Outlaws.
Vernon Condenser.

Some four or five years ago three
strangers, apparently on tue tramp,
stopped near lladdcn's Ferry on tho
Texas side of the Sabine river and
obtaining employment settled down
here. Two of them claimed their
names as being Culver and the other
styled himself johnson. In the course
Of time Johnson married Miss Docin
Pullum, and one of the Culvers mar
red Miss Annie Thompson and the
other Miss Covelle--danghtcr of Joe
ColvelIe. The men gave evidences
of irritable, quarreIsome dispositions,
being often involved in disturbances
and unCallGd for difficulties. But they
lived with their families in and around
what is called the " bend" on the
Sabine river until a few days ago
when the sheriff of some county in
West Texas came in upon them with
posse and affected their arrest, taking
them in charge for numbering a man
out west for his money, after having
escaped from the penitentiary. Tho
three young ladies whom the escaped
convicts married were of respectable
parentage and moved in the highest
circles of society. They have num-
bar of warm friends in Vernon parish
who are grioved to learn of their sad
fate in thoughtlessly marrying stran-
gers of whom they knew nothing. As
an instance of grave admonition,
young ladies of our country, in tho
acquaintance of these transient cos
mopolitans, must need be very care
full.

IT MUST be hard to get up little
amusement out in San Antonio, if we
are to judge by the following, from
the Express:
Quite an assembiage gathered at the
San Pedro race course Yesterday after
noon to witness Grady's combination
of cowboys exhibit their skill with the
lasso. The cowboys had quite an op-
position, in tke persons of couple Of
San Antonians and Mexican, WHO
plainly manifested their superiority
over Gladys boys. George Gleason,
deputy marshal, furnished the opposi-
ton, and seemed quite elated over the
prowcss of his favorites. a horse
was first turned loose, and both of
Gleason's boys succeeded in roping
him, to the discontinue of Grady.
Five cattle were in turn turned loose,
and some rare exhibitions of horse
marship and skill with the rope were
afforded the audience, Gleason's BOYS,
however, carrying off the honors The
Mexican gave an example of his skill
in " failing" steers, which was loudly
applauded. The feat consisted of
throwing the animal to the ground and
tying him with his own tail before
having a chance to rise. Tho steer
was thrown and the Mexican jumped
from his horse, grasped the beef by
the hind leg, twisting it double, aud
wrapped the tail firmly about the limb,
leaving him lying on the ground in u
helpless condition. The crowd de.
parted well pleased with the sport.
