" CHRIST Is RISEN. y
HOW THE CHURCHES CELEBRATED
EASTER SUNDAY.
Lessons Taught by the Savior's Res
direction From the Tomb
Easter Roses, Etc.

Yesterday was the anniversary of an
event dear to the heart of every true
Christian, no matter in what part Of the
globe he may be, nor how unhappy his lot
in life. To the failhful-those who bear
always in their minds and hearts memories
of the sufferings and sacrifices of the Son
of Colchester Sunday is day of bright
ness and joy. 1t recalls an event in the
early dawn OF the Christian era, when
Christ baffisd his enemies by discarding
the panoply of the grave and ascending to
heaven, to sit at the right hand of God, the
Father. If this memorable occasion can
bring gladness to the heart of the Christian
whose lines have not been cast in pleasant
places-who suffers beneath the spirit
crushing oppression of tyrants-how much
greater must be the happiness of those
who enjoy the blessings of citizenship I'M
der the free skies of America. Especially
happy must have been the heart
of the true believer in this IA
yored portion of the land who awoke
yesterday morning to the realization of
perfect day. The balmy air was filed with
the odor of the flowers that made radiant
with their hues the gardens of this city of
homes, and the people looked happy and
devout as they tiocked into the several
churches to listen to the special Easter
services. The churches also bore brighter
and more cheerful aspect than on ordinary
occasions, the affairs and pulpits being
beautifully and literally decorated with
the choicest flowers that could be gathered
Almost every place of worship in the city
was thronged at both morning and even
ing services, and the discourses-all relat-
ing to the ascension of the Savior-were
unusually interesting. A synopsis is given
bel W of the sermons and special Easter
exercises in many of the churches

AT noon to-day the rush over the bor-
der into the Oklohoma reserve to be
opened, will begin. The best and coolest
judges place the number of intending inn
migrants awaiting the signal to pass into
the promised land at between 10000 and
$4,000. The struggle for place among
these nervous, anxious people must result
in conflicts. We are expecting great
deal more from hnman nature than we are
justified in looking for if we anticipate
only harmless brushes" for locations, and
no contests that will involve blood and life
sacrifice. But speculation is idle now, as
We will know just what has taken place
within the next few hours. The district
to be entered is small, the news facilities
are good, and we will not have long to
wait for the story of the march, Those
who wish to ascertain the locality and
bounds of the region that excites so much
interest, can easily trace it in an ordi-
nary atlas. Open at the map of the
Indian Territory and fix upon starting
point on the Tooth degree of longitude,
west from Washington, ten miles north of
the intersection of that line with the Seth
degree of latitude north. Then run line
due east to point just twenty miles east
of the 97th degree of longitude, and then
south to the North Fork of the Canadian
river, and southwest along that stream to
the 9th degree of longitude, then south
to the Canadian river proper; then west
erly, with the meanderings of that
stream, to the Tooth degree of longi-
tude, and then along it to the point
of beginning. This territory was ac-
quired from the Indian tribes heretofore
having it in possession, at cost to our
Government Of 81 % an acre. The con-
tirmation Of the cession was not made by
the last of the tribes until the middle of
March, whereupon the President issued his
proclamation throwing the lands of the
district described open to settlement on
and after noon to-day. Accounts of the
desirability of the lands differ widely, but
the burden Of the testimony is that the
great mass of them are arabic, well
watered, fine for grass, and that they are
well sheltered and not subject to billiards,
extreme cold or excessive heat. These
conditions make it a very inviting land to
the people Of Kansas, and Of the West and
Northwest, but it IS difficult to understand
why the people of Texas should find the
new region more attractive than the many
favored sections of their own State. The
Government Commission is now in Indian
Territory negotiating for the purchase of
100000 acres in addition to the 100000
embraced in the section described above.
and an Act of Congress has already been
passed enabling such an acquisition to be
made. 1t is probable, therefore, despite
the opposition of the cattle men" to the
new purchase, that it viii be effected, and
the boomers who must suffer disap-
pointment in to-day's march and entry
since there is as yet land for only one
tenth of them-will he given a new op-
portunity in Indian Territory before the
close Of the year.

THE proper estimate to form of Secre.
tary Wanamaker is that, if he has been
a party to sending out business letters to
Postmasters, he viii frankly admit the
charge and tender his resignation. But
so far as he has made expression at all, it
has been one of emphatic denial either of
intention or of knowledge of the circulars
over which the Democratic press is at
tempting to create so much excitement.
1t appears that the Secretary has brothers
engaged in a commercial enterprise that,
like all business men, they are anxious to
push. In this firm Secretary Wanamaker
has no interest, except that of creditor,
according to the statements of all parties.
The circular was first sent out as far back
as last September, and Mr. Wanamaker
had no part in its preparation nor any
knowledge of it. He subsequently became
a member of the Cabinet. The circular is
practically a copy Of a thousand that have
been annually sent by agencies, business
houses and newspapers TO Postmasters,
soliciting them to act as agents for this,
that and the other business enterprise.
The only special Importance that can at
t4ch to it is the fact that the senior mem
hers of the firm mailing are brothers of
the Postmaster-General. There need be
no attempt ITO deny that, under the
circumstances, they have done the Post
master-General injury by exposing
him 10 the assault of antago-
nistic partisans, on the suspicion that
he is party to the circular, and is thus
attempting to use the power of his Office
to forward private business enterprise.
For unquestionabIy, at first blush, the
postmaster receiving therequest that he will
act as agent for Wanamaker d Prown,
would be led to infer that the wanna
maker" referred to was the Postmaster
General. But the denial of the General
that he has any interest in, or control over
the firm in which his family name appears,
and that he was not a party to the circu-
lar, is sufficient 10 put the matter at rest.
Besides, it IS unfair TO the sagacity of the
Postmaster-Generai, whose business ex-
perienee and good sense is confessed by
even his enemies, 10 entertain the thought
for moment that he would be so silly as
TO engage, through his official station, in
any such scheme. The man of most or
binary business foresight, 50 situated,
would realize that any such attempt would
be Immediately exposed and receive the
condemnation of rational men. Uniniiu-
eneed by partisan feeling, inspired only by
sense Of justice and knowledge of the
motives that actuate men of business ex-
perience and standing, we must conclude
that the attempt of the Democratic press
70 magnify the Wanamaker q Brown
circular into a charge of quasi-venality
against the Postmaster General is a failure.

jecsions fail. 1t is a case of the exercise of
omnipotence, and the power that called the
body into being by word in the first, can
at the last overlap all difficulties. The
resurrection of Jesus is type of our resur-
recticn, and our body is to be like his. Our
identity is to be preserved in the resurrec-
ton body as his was. 1t is 10 be body of
glory like unto his glorious body; incor-
ruptible. immortal. 1t is to be body of
power. These are the sublimest thoughts
of religion" The speaker closed with a
glowing picture of what might be some of
the characteristics and attributes OF the res
direction body.

A CALIFORNIA SENSATION.

tits reported that thesales ofthe .'California
Remedy" joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, have
grown within a few months till they are now
really sensational. The way the fame of this
production has spread is simply marvellous.
Six months ago it was unknown. To-day it
is all over the country. 1t is authoritatively
stated that they have been actually giving is
away in San Francisco to people afflicted with
dyspepsia, sick headaches, indigestion and
liver troubles, not to be paid for unless it
cured. Such practical tests are so startlingly
convincing as to be almost sensational. 1t is
stated that two OF the active principles of the
new remedy belong to the vegetable kingdom
of California and are so well known TO us all
under common names that it would surprise
us If told them. But we are not surprised at
anything Californian, and this recent discov-
cry OF the new medicinal virtues of its vegeta-
BILE kingdom is but another instance OF the
astonishing possibilities of q soil and climate
like ours.

tend for. The independence of the island
kingdom is admitted, and also the right of

THE offer of the London Times to pay
Mr.. Parnell the sum of $4,000 for dam
ages incurred by reason of the failure to
convict him of the crimes conspiracy with
which that journal charged him, is a frank
confession that it libelled him and is
willing to foot the bill without litigation.
The only question remaining is, as the
sum rendered sufficient ?" Mr. Parnell
replies No" He claims that he should
have sufficient, at least, to cover his actual
outlay in making his defense. This the
Court will not probably allow. 1t is there

THE mystery about the abandoned
steamer Danmark remains apparently i'm
penetrable. The idea that the $50 human
beings that sailed on her are lost is not yet
entertained by skilled seamen. The YES
sci, when found, gave no evidence of hav-
ing been so tempest-tossed as to give reason
for the belief that her passengers and
crew were washed overheard. All the in
dications point to deliberate and not hasty
Abandonment. Since the water-logged
steamer was first-sighted, no other view OF
her has been had, and it is probable that
she has therefore drifted northward and
out of the track Of the regular line-steam-
ers and packets On Saturday came news
of the finding of one of the boats of the
missing ship; it, too, showed that it had
been deliberately abandoned, and nothing
about it indicated that it had been the
scene of human suffering. There is, there
fore, still reason to entertain the hope that
the passengers and crew have been picked
I up by some ship that has landed them
upon q coast with which we have infre-
quent communication. Since the fore
going was put in type news is at hand that
the people of the abandoned ship are safe,
and were taken by another steamer to the
Azores.
