indianapolis, n great revival in Louisville

bear their cross more easily, if they are

Christ is diifused among the churches, why
that is a revival. and OF the most

To-day. throughout the Christian world
except in countries which refuse to
adopt the Gregorisn calendar celc-
brated the joyful festival of the Resurrec
ton. Whatever may be said of the un-
certainty which attaches to the date of the
Nativity, none attends this holiday of the
church. on account of the relation of the
event which it commentaries, to the jew
isb Passover. 1t may be regarded as an
anniversary according to the astronomical
year. The return Of spring has been held,
in faiths far older than any now ertant.
as a season Of religious observance. and
this forms one Of the chief Of those re-
~semblances, which are almost condolences,
AMI which have been held to prove the
common origin of all religions and Of the
human race. With such certainty as the
rude science of antiquity allowed, the YER
nal equinox has been celebrated with re-
ioicing as marking the rescue of the earth
from the embrace of winter, aud the re
newal Of the genial influence of the sun.
There Is typical suggestion of the same
physical fact in myths as widely separated
As those Of Bladder and Adonis, which are
purely material in character and teaching.
The name of the day, itself, is derived
from that Of Eostre, the Saxon goddess Of
the Dawn-a sort OF Teutonic Aurora-and
the existence OF this material conservation
of the season had doubtless its effect in
the niors easily reconciling our heather
progenitors to the new and purer faith
which supplanted their gross fancies and
brought them the germs Of knowledge
destined to regenerate the world.
The crucifxion is known to have taken
place on the day preceding the Sabbath Of
che Passover, which feast has been from
immemorial ages determined by the I'M
varying motions of the sun and moor

Around the World in less than Eighty Days.
Rufus Mallory, who returned few days
since from q trip around the world, was IN
tarviewed by Standard reporter, to whom
he furnished the following synopsis OF his
VOYAGE: He left Portland Msy 81, and sail
I'd from San Francisco on the steamer
Oceanic, June 6, arriving at Yokohama on
the twenty fifth. Spent few days there,
and visited Toxic, the capital of the Jap
anese Empire. From Yokohama he went
TO Shanghai, on the way touching at Kobe
and Naeasaki. From Shanghai he went by
Way of Hong Kong to Singapore, to visit
which place was the object of his journey.
Finding that he would make the trip
home more quickly by going ahead t6an oy
turning back, he took passage on Frencn
steamer from Singapore to Naples: Inc
steamer called at Colombo, where "oalmy
breezes blow softly DER Ceylon's isle" ana
then at Alden, in Arabia, then at Suez, ana
through the Suez canal to Fort Salo, ana
across the Mediterranean TO Naples. ne
nassed Ismailia the day the battle was
fought near by, but did not take nand. he
had intended to cross Egypt and have q
look aU Tue oahiuo AhN
bi Pasba had all the rolling stock OF the rail-
road corralled, 80 he went straight TO Ma
pics. arriving there August 81.
During the time spent in Italy he ascend
ed Vesuvius, visited Pompeii and Herculane
UNI, and stayed several days at Rome. From
the Eternal City he went 10 Pisa, as every.
BODY does, to see the leaning tower. and al
ter viewing the landscape from the top Of it
went to Venice and stood upon the Bridge
of Signs, and had sail in u gondola thence
passed on to Florence, and thence to Milan
and over the Alps by the pass of St. Goth
ard, preferring that route TO going through
the tunnel.
He next visited Metz, and thence to Paris
and on to London. Spent ten days in this
immense city, and saw as much of it as was
possible in that time. From London to
Liverpool and thence home is an everyday
trip. The steamer Alaska. on which he took
passage from Liverpool to New York, was
no everyday affair, however, as Der rate OF
speed was from four hundred and twenty
five to four hundred and thirty.fve miles
per day.
From reading Jules Verne one is led to
suppose that it is great feat to 20 around
the world in eighty days, but the time spent
by Mr.. Mallory in actual travel was less
than that, and he is confident that he can
make the trip in seventy days.-Portland
