EASTER -To.morrow will be Easter, the
Christian passover, and festival of the resur.
rection from the dead Of the Founder of the
Christian religion. The name, according to
some, is derived from an old Saxon word
meaning 'srsirg" The feast dates back to
the earliest days Of Christianity, and is OBJ
served wherever the Gospel truths have
been planted Though many disciples of
the Cruciied Ore insist that every Sunday
should he regarded as commemorative of a
risen Saviour, yet as its annual celebration
draws nigh the day is looked forward to
with interest by most every body, more espe
ciallv the young, to whom gambol on the
green on the following Monday after their
winters Information is treat, while the
sport OF rolling eggs is to them equally en-
tertaining. Easter is now by general con-
sent celebrated on the first Sunday after the
full moon which happens upon or next after
March u, and if the full moon happen on
Sunday. Easter day is the Sunday after
hence Easter day can come as early as
March -, or "a late as April 25-the day
upon which it falls this year. There are
many traditional customs connected with
Easter, some of which are still kept up in
different countries. One which ia still in
vogue in the northern counties of England
is for the men to parade the streets on that
day and claim the privilege of lifting every
woman they meet three times from the
ground, receiving in payment a kiss or n
silver Sixpence, and the same is done by the
women to the men next day. The festival
will be celebrated in the Catholic and Epis.
copal churches of this city, as usual, with
joyous music In nearly all the churches
the chors have been practicing special Sc
lections

Massacre of Christians.

Advices from Ching Too Foo. the ohiel
city of the Province OF Secheun, state That
the natives of the eastern part Of that
province and those Of Northern Cochin
China have risen against the Christians
and are massacring them and destroying
their property. This active persecution
is attributed to the imprudence of English
and American missionaries. In Cochin
China alone, so Christians have been
killed and their houses burned and their
farms destroyed. In Sechuen q general
massacre Of the Christians 10 reported to
be in progress, and they are killed where
ever found. 1t lie said that whole villages
occupied by Christians have been de-
stroyed, and that all the lands occupied
by professors OF that faith are being de-
vastated. The Apostolic Wears residence
in Sechuen has been burned 10 the ground,
and not a piece Of furniture nor book nor
paper was saved. The foreign Consuls
barely escaped from Sechuen with their
lives. No efforts have been made up to
the latest reports TO quell the disorder,
aud SO far as is now known ii continues
unsurpassed.

ANOTHER PEAT of JERSEY
JUSTICE.

It is interesting to learn that Jersey
Justice has asserted itself 10 a new way,
and the majesty Of law triumphs over
its viola.ors. The v~iolator in this case
was an ice.cream vendor, and his defiance
of the laws of the Commonwealth was
set forth as "swcaring an OATH" He
said "D-n it" or words to that eff.
feet. The offended law swooped down
upon him, brought him before a jury Of
his peers and fined him fifty cents.
This seemed rather amusing to the ma
iority whose ears are saluted by remarks
of that sort at almost any hour of the
day on our leading streets; but a little
consideration may produce the opinion
that Jersey is not wholly an object Of
laughter in this course. She has a law
against swearing and enforces it. Other
States have the same law, but make it a
dead letter. Whether the law is good
or bad the State which enforces the law
as long as it is a law, is entitled to some
respect. As to the good or bad qualities
of the law, it may be said that if each
man and boy had to pay fifty cents every
time he swore on the streets Of Eureka
it might be possible for ladies to walk
down Main street without having their
ears filed with masculine profanity.

The question of women's dress is al
ways a weighty and troublesome one to
a certain class of writers. Pullbacks
were a burden to the mind of the dress
moralists last year; and they got the APP
prevail of a vast majority Of merciful
humanity this season by attacking birds
plumage in hats. That fashionable de-
structiveness being allayed, it bothers
many of the male critics to find that the
ladies are now taking the notion OF wear
ing shirt blossoms and collars. As one
disappearing Boston newspaper puts it,
"they are wearing Numbered shirt-fronts
and stand-up collars, after the manner OF
men, and are even INDUCING in cravats
and scarf.pins." The uneasiness with
which this progress of female fashion is
regarded by some of the males, suggests
the fear that it may lead to the women
donning a more peculiarly masculine
vesture for the lower part OF the person.

THE ALASKA PURCHASE.

A Washington special to the New
York Post says: A new point has been
raised in connection with the seizure by
q United States revenue cutter Of two
Canadian vessels. One is said to have
been captured 65 miles and the second
100 miles from the nearest land. The
points made are: Did Russia have the
right to convey to the United States, as
it did by the terms of it's treaty in con-
nection with the sale of Alaska, the
greater part of Behring Strait? Will
any foreign Government recognize such a
right under international law? If the
United States has the right to prohibit
British fishermen from taking fur seals
l20 miles from land, has not the United
States the same right to prohibit British
or Norwegian whalers from taking whales
within the same seas? Our treaty rights
in the Behring Sea have never been
tested. 1t is possible that the seizure
Of these two Canadian vessels by our
revenue cutter may bring these rights
into dispute. Inquiry was made at the
State Department the other day to ascer-
tain whether the Department had con-
sidered the matter. Assistant Secretary
Porter said that the subject had not yet
been brought to the official attention of
the State Department. 1t was wholly
under the control of the Treasury De-
partment, where it will be likely to re-
main unless the owners of the Canadian
vessels should complain to their Govern
ment, and Canada should in turn report
to the British Government. and the sub
ject, in this manner, be called to the at.
~tention of the State Department.

Prescott (Arizona) Courier: The people
of New Mexico and Arizona are in favor
of hanging Geronimo and his fellow muir
derers. That they deserve death no one
will deny. They left the reservation
without just cause. murdered people
right and left. crippled industry and
kept immigrants away from New Mexico
aud Arizona. But, we suppose they
were, before having surrendered, par
doned for past o~ffenses and will be taken
care of by the Government. If so, it
will be best to remove them at once from
the Southwest, for there is no telling
what may happen if they should be
placed upon a reservation.

CHARGE BAYONErs.
The MOst Savagely Contested Part OF
the Battle of Antletam.


The most savagely contested part of the
struggle at Antietam was in and around the
sunken lane of Roulet's farm, where jack
sons Corps for hours held the ground, from
which Hooker and Mansfield had been sue
cessiyely repulsed early in the morning. In
their yellowish, butternut suits the Gonfed-
crates were scarcely distinguishabe from
the road bed in the ditch where they lay,
Or from the ripe stalks of the cornHeld be.
hind, through which their reinforcing bri-
gades were constantly descending. Not
more than fifty yards off, kneeling in the
green pasture fields, without any shelter,
the Union n-Kimballs, Caldwell's and
the Irish brigades-poured 30 deadly Il fire
into that lane that after the battle six hum
ired Confederate dead were found Repeat
ID efforts were made by the Union troops to
,harge. Perhaps the first was in conformity
To Generals orders the others certainly
were not The Confederate fire was so ter
rible that everyone however, realized the
need either Of driving the Confederates from
he lane and the rising ground behind, or
Use of retiring to avoid humiliation. Such
expression as, . We must charge g Let's
try the bayonet, boys" were constantly re-
peated along the line, and bayonets would
be fixed without any order whatever, 40 far

But on making the effort to charge, and
hiding the enemys fro irresistible the

rain storm, would back up To its former
position. and kneeling or lying down again,

ion broke out. There were no troops IN
sight behind, no promise of reserve or sup
port, and the situation was CALLING The
whole heavens were splitting with the deto-
nations of battle and the rest Of the army
was probably fighting for its own life. The
men on their knees fixed bayonets again for
the tenth time, perhaps, and, with n mnr-
ferrous howl of rage, the three brigades
rushed forward, and in minute were in
the lane and their banners Were ascending
through the cornfeld toward the peach
orchard where Jackson himself IN said to
have been during all those hours. This
charge, which broke Jackson's right for o
time, and required all his genius to prevent
proving supreme disaster to his army,
would not have been made when it was
made II the initiative had depended on u
commanders orders.

The grandest sight in the Park is beyond
question the lower falls of the Yellowstone
have never seen but have frequently read
of the beautiful sight presented by the Falls
of Niagara in winter and Of the wonderful
ice bridge formed at their base by the freez-
ing Of the waters, but cannot imagine how
Niagara can compare, even considering its
tremendous volume Of water, with the sub
lime Lower Falls of the Yellowstone river
in mdwinter. Here was the ice bridge, too,
or rather an ice mountain, which rose TO a
height almost equal to the descent Of the
falls. A feeling of awe creeps over one
upon beholding in this wilderness such
desolate grandeur as cannot be seen else
where ON earth. | stood on Lookout Ter
race short distance below the falls and saw
great sheet Of water shoot out from the
land and with mighty roar plunge fully
395 feet into the abyss beneath. Nothing
could freeze in the basin that received this
deluge, for the force of the descending river
must have broken anything that came in its
way but the spray that shot far out beyond
the solid stream froze as it fell and formed
the beautiful ice bridge or ice mountain ]
have mentioned. The walls of the great
canyon of the Yellowstone certainly are the
most awe-inspiring, majestic, sublime
spectacle ON Gods earth.
Nowhere in the wonderful Park nor else
where on the globe can there be found sucl
an extensive view Of combination of stu
pendous natural scenery and gorgeous col
oring. On this wintry day, far in the depth
Of the Park, away from humanity and alon
with nature, cannot describe the feeling
that came over me.

tween the blanketsa disagreeable, but

chief may result from the contact Of an i'm

seription, are singularly careless in respect

PHILOSOPHY OF HARD TIMES.
What Machinery has Dome 90 Dis.
place Human labor.

In every civilized land, at this time, there
Is complaint that times are hard. Every.
where the cause is said by many to be over
production. II there is over production all
over the world as some reason, that means
merely that the supply of things useful for
human happiness is greater all over the
world than the present demand In reply
to this natural suggestion, we are told that
vast amount Of labor has been displaced
by machinery, that n general disturbance OF
the labor market has been caused and that
great number of persons have been thrown
out of employment. The very change which
some call a blessing brings ruin TO many
cut down wages, and curtails the ability OF
workers TO consume products of other in-
dustries. Thus we are taught to believe
that the progress of science aud invention
Is progress towards human m'slry.
II il true, them that machinery has dis
placed human labor? A century ago re
htiyely fewer persons were employed in any
other avocation than in tilling the soil than
are now employed. Machinery has created
new world 1t has cheapened almost
everything that man desires. II has brought
within the reach of the humbest not only
vast number Of products wholly unknown
a century ago, but Injuries and comforts
which century ago even the richest could
not afford to commonly enjoy. Meanwhile
has ii displaced labor? Ga thu contrary, II
has made work for vast population outside
of the rnder arts which were formerly pur-
sued. Has it displaced th- sho,nllter?
No; more persons thin ever bsfore are
making shoes, because III )re Shoes are made
and used, cheapness PERMITTING multtudes
10 wear them who formerly could not. Sc
here are more sewing girls in spite of saw.
ing machines.
There are m)re farm workers, in spite of
all the agricultural machines. There are
more cotton and woollen and silk weavers.
in spite OF those nlmsrou, improyem nts
which seem to do with steam and iron the
work Of human hands better than human
hands could do it. And to crown all, the
wages in all branches Of labor have risen.
In every occupation, from the rude5t TO the
most skilled, from farm labor 10 the most
delicate manipulation Of tools and mlchin-
cry, labor il better plid in money than it
was before the age o. 'svention. And
moreover, each shilling tiie money ~

ply Of all human wants.
