THE SUPREME COURT.

The people of all sections and
political affinities unite in sincere.
ly lamenting the death of mar
who has filled with honor and
credit the. highest judicial office il
the Government. No eulogy coule
add anything to the simple state
ment that Chief Justice Waite fol
many years worthily filled the
chair of Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court of the United States
His incumbency was of the exact
length of fourteen years, two
months and two days.
The death of Chief Justice Waite
makes a political difference of two
in the cast of the court, the loss O
a Republican and the gain of {
Democrat. There will be three
Democrats and six Republicans OF
the Supreme Bench after the mex
appointment.
Ohio had two of her citizens or
the bench prior to the death of ths
Chief Justice, Morrison R. Waite
and Stanley Matthews; there ar,
three from States east of the Allie
ghanies, Joseph P. Bradley, ofNev

country to the effect that over
500, 900, 600 of superfuous taxa

not feel the burden of it. Nothing
could possibly be more irrational

AN UNDRRGRoUND HORROR.
One Hundred Reported Killed ut
Rich Hill, This state,
Yesterday.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 29.r-At J
Rich Hill, Mo-, late this afternoon,
a terrible accident occurred which
will undoubtedly result in the loss
of 100 lives. At the hour named
two explosions were heard. and
later it was found that mines No.
5 and 6, situated six miles from
town, had caved in, burying an
untold number Of miners in their
ruins.
Before dark forty bodies had
been taken from the mine. The
superintendent Of mine No 6, was
taken out more dead than Alive,
but will possibly recovef. The
first explosion killed twenty
or 80 men. superintendent Sweeny
and assistants Immediately began
the work of rescuing the imprison-
ed miners, and up TO 4:30 had sue
ceeded in saving fifteen men, when
the second explosion occurred, in
volving Superintendent Sweeney
and his aids. The fire was terrific,
shooting out from the top Of the
30 foot shaft like a great furnace.
Further effort to save the miners
was hopeless, and a. hundreds Of
men, women and children crowded
about the burning shaft the scene
became heartrending in the ex-
treme. The bodies recovered rep
resent small proportion Of the
number at work and it is supposed
further loss of life viii be very
great.
1t seems the natural gas, which
has been troubling this mine from
its first opening about year ago,
has been reinforced from somynuW
crevice or opening recently made,
causing this disastrous accident.
The mine is 247 feet deep and the
vein Of coal 8 feet 2 inches thick.

EASTER.

Awake, my harp! No poets dream.
No madrigal nor mythic story
Invoked thy strain nobler theme
Sing, heart OF mine of grief and glory
What God for mans redemption gave:
The dying Christ-tbe manged clay
The human tomb. the conquered grave,
And last. "rhe Lord is risen to-day"
Sunday was Easter Day, the
"Queen of Festivals. (" For if
Christ be not risen our faith is vaim
But He is risen. He has broken
the gates of death and snapped in
sunder the bars of iron. Sorrow is
now ended; joy has come. Christ
is the first fruits of them that slept.
Easter Day-or, the Christian
Passover, as it is more generally
called outside OF English and Ger
man eountries-has come to us from
the earliest times. The Jews have
kept it from the time they left
Egypt until this day to commemor-
ate their deliverance from Egypt,
and is called by them the Passover.
1t is called Easter from the Anglo
Saxon and means ''rising." Our
Teutonic and English-speaking an
cestors very appropriately gave the
name Ostra Ostera-Easter to the
feast of our Lords resurrection.
The Christian missionaries to the
Anglo-Saxons and Germans found
a heathen festival to the Goddess
of Spring which was celebrated at
| the same time as their Paschal
feast, called Ostera, and they wisely
took the latter name and gave it to
the Christian festival. In doing sc
they showed their divine wisdom
as it was simply following st. Pauls
example and exhibiting the affini
ties of Christianity to the uncon
scious longings and aspirations o
their souls. It is also called the
Pash, Pasque, Paque or Pask, as i
corresponds to the Jewish Passover
which IS always celebrated abouf
the same time. The Jewish Pass
lover is celebrated according to tht
Mosaic law on the 14th day of the
tInonth of Nissan and the Christian
Pdseha, or Easter, is the Sunday
following.
Easter has been kept by thu
Christian Church from the Resur
rection day. st. Paul refers to i
when he says, "Christ our Pass
lover is sacrificed for us, therefor,
1let us keep the feast, . or, as thu
margin has it, keep the holy day.
and in Acts xii:4, the Passover ii
rendered by the word Easter
Though the Church from the be
ginning has always observed thil
festival, yet there were differences
amongst the early Christians as Il
1.-The exact day upon which it shoult
be kept. The Judaizing Christian
kept it on the 14sh day of Nisara
while the other Christians alway

Wretched men and women long condemn ed to suffer the turtures of dyspepsia, are filled with new hope after few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters is persisted in. It brings a reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek it's aid Flatulence, heartburn, sinking at the pit of the stomach between meals, the nervous tremors and insomnia of which chronic in digestion is the parent, disappear with their hateful progenitor. Most beneGcent of stomachics! who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens grateful elo- quence in those who, benefited by it, speak voluntarily in its behalf 1t requires a grahhic pen to describe the torments of dyspepsia, but in many of the testimonials received by the proprietors of the Bitters, these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness, Constipation, biliousness, muscular debility, malarial levers and rhematism are relieved by it.
