CAPTURE OF TuE MlilTE House.
Children Take Possession of the Grounds nnd
Roll Enster Eggs All Day.

Washington has one observance of
Easter which is unparalleled andp ocular
to ltSelt-lt IS the forciblc entry and pos
session of the Presidents grounds ON
Easter Monday by the children under 10
years OF age. How the custom orici-
mated and when, nobody knows-only
that on every Easter Monday all the little
children i'll Washington, directly after
breakfast, swarm to the White House to
roll Easter eggs on the green slopes of
the grounds. The grounds are in mca-
sure open to the public, but even the
Cmef Magistrate is entitled to some pri-
vacy. But by IL law of the childrcn's
making, all others are superseded on
Easter Monday. No part OF the park is
sacred, and crowd estimated from five
to eight thousand, all under 10 or u,
not at will over the grassy knobs. Ven
ders OF Easter eggs drive thriving
trade. The sccno is highly picturesque
and interesting. The young ones con
gregate i'll groups, thc girls and boys
generally separate, except among the
very little toddlcrs, who roll themselves
as often as the Easter eggs down the hill.
lhe older boys pursue the sport scicntifi-
cally, and the girls therefore exclude
them, as the boys would soon come to
have monopoly Of tho eggs. All day
long 1t goes on, and when the multitude
has departed it looks as if an army of
locustS had passed over the land Presi-
dent Arthur always came ont and en-
joycd the soeno immensely, and Presi
aon' Cleveland enjoyed the gambols of
thc children for Il long time.

tion was a mistake. Alden has recently made
a reduction all along the line-a reduction SO
great as to be a startling surprise to book-buy-
ers. and an amazement to book publishers |!
He says continued reduction in cost of manu-
facture, and a continually widening market
warrant it, He says still lower prices are pos

The Divine Right to Think and Speak
BY REV. ROBERT W. SAVAGE.

BY REV. ROBERT W. SAVAGE.
Ii may seem good policy for the pulpit to
shut its eyes TO the progressive and liberal
opinions Of the world and deny what has
been proved true and cling 10 what has
been proved false as If true beyond all ques-
tion or doub, but in reality this is perncious
deception. IL is not enough that a few
leaders standing upon the frontiers of the
| church speak the truth they see and feel ;
the whole church ought to awake out of
! it's stupidity and speak to the world
in a rational. fearless, straightforward
manner. If there is any one thing that
the pulpi,s Of the world cannot afford to
do 1t is to uphold and advocate a creed
formulated and established in the ignorance,
and bgotry, and hate of the dark ages; a
creed that by ia gross and irrational misrep-
resentations of God, man and nature has
become formidable enemy to mans relig-
ious freedom and welfare On the other
hand, II there Is any one thing which the
church can most afford TO do, and for con-
sciences sake ought to do. it is to openly
acknowledge and teach, and publicly advo-
cate what in the deepest sense appeals to
human reason as true.
But the fear and dread Of breaking away
from traditional forms and beliefs keep many
in the errors OF a former religious creed
holding back with main strength fearful that
the world will leap over into atheism and
social chaos. What bugbear this is 10
many The fact is. the inteiIl gent world is
more firm in the belief in God now than
ever before. And the more freely and
honestly the world thinks and reason, the
more firm hold will ,h,.sm take upon the
souls Of men ,nd women Perfect mental
freedom and integrity to convictions are the
conditions upon which error is cast out and
truth revealed and forever enthroned in hu-
man thought.

The Audubon Society.

With the first of December the Audubon So
ciety for the Protection of Birds entered on its
seventeenth thousand of enrolled members.
As the plan Of the Society was only announced
in February last, and the first certificates Of
membership issued in April, the large number
Of members on the books of the Society is an
indication of the very widespread interest
taken in the subject of bird protection by the
general public. The influence of the Society
has made itself felt in the best quarters, and
although feathers are still worn to some ex-
tent, they are for the most part those of game
and domestic birds. and we no longer see hats
trimmed with the heads and wings Of half a
dozen tiny song birds. There is no expense
connected with membership in the Audubon
Society, which is laboring solely TO educate
people to appreciate the value of our birds to
the country at large. The Society wants To-
cal secretary in every town in the land. 1t il.
