A peculiar Easter Sunday custom is still in
vogue in some Of the northern counties in
England. On that day the men parade the
streets with the privilege Of "liftingn every
woman they meet three times from the
ground, and demanding in payment either a
kiss or a sixpence. On Easter Monday the
tables are turned, the women being entitled
to the chance of recovering their kisses or
sixpences, as the case may be. Chambers
Book of Days" thus alludes to this custom Of
lifting: "In Lancashire and in Cheshire,
Staffordshire and Warwickshire, and perhaps
in other counties, the ridiculous custom of
lifting, or 'heaving, is practiced. On Easter
Monday the men lift the women, and on
Easter Tuesday the women lift, or heave, the
men. The process is performed by two lusty
men or women joining their hands across
each others wrists; then making the person
to be heaved sit down on their arms, they
lift him up aloft two or three times, and often
carry him several yards along the street.
"a grave clergyman who happened to be
passing through town in Lancashire on an
Easter Tuesday, and having to stay an hour
or two at the inn, was astonished by three or
four lusty women rushing into his room, ex-
claiming that they had come to lift him.
To lift mel repeated the amazed divine;
what can you meanF Why, your rever-
ence, we're come to lift you, cause it's Easter
Tuesday. Lift me because it's Easter Tues
dayl l don't understand. Is there such
custom herer Yes, to be sure; all us women
was lifted yesterday, and US lifts the men to-
day. And in course it's our rights and duties

Ismail Pasha, the father Of the Khedive,
when no was ruler of Egypt, borrowed an
enormous sum Of money, but used only a
small part Of it in constructing the public
works for which he professed to need it.
Much Of it was used in bribery, and great
deal more ia ministering to his own pleasures.
The opera house in Cairo was one of his ex-
travagances, and in oneseason Of five months
he spent S6O0.0O0 upon the singers and act
reSses.
The site for the opera house was obtained in
the most INSCRIPTIONS manner. Those Of the
owners who were willing to sell their free
holds or leases were paid, but the houses of
those who declined to accept Ismails offers
which were not liberal, were set on fire.
When they were burnt down, he condoled
with the owners and tenants, and renewed
his offer of compensation, which was &c
cepted.
The finance minister was his most trusted
agent and friend, for he kept a full chest and
always knew how to raise money. Ismail
would send to the mufettish Turkish for
traasurerl message, saying, II want so
much money" The mufettish would order
the mudirs Of the districts to bring in the
amount, and they obeyed by wringing it
from the peasants, using the thumbscrew and
stick" aud whip to persuade them to give
up their money.
a French gentleman was sent by France
and England to act as finance commissioner.
Ismail, knowing that his books would not
bear inspection, determined to destroy both
them and the mufettish, whose evidence
would be damaging to his master.
The mufettish lived in splendor. He had
four hundred women slaves and his kitchen
cost three hundred thousand dollars year.
His guests who smoked were provided with
golden ash trays incrusted with brilliants,
and each little tray was worth twenty-five
hundred dollars. It would not do to clap
such subject in prison.
One morning Ismail drove to the minister
Of finance, and invited him to call on Amir
at Gezirah The two men were seen chatting
pleasantly together as the carriage swept
through Cairo, but the mufettish was never
seen again.
When they reached Gezirah, Ismail entered
the palace, preceding his friend, who, as he
walked ont of the hall, was seized and thrown
into a dungeon. From it he was taken at
night placed on a steamer, strangled and
his corpse thrown into the Nile. The steamer
went up the river, and not a single soldier Of
the guard ever returned. Dead men tell no
tales.
The papers first circulated a story Of the
minister's Punishment, and than another story
recording his death in exile from excessive
drinking. Companion.

The London Court Journal, when it wants
little variety, dips into American politics.
Here is a specir i;
"The Americans have elected Mr. Robert
Lincoln as minister to the court Of st. James.
Mr.. Lincoln is brother Of the famous war
president, and is said to be an excellent judge
Of horse flesh. He took no part in the great
struggle presided over by his brother, pre-
ferring, he declared, to be merely an on look

uneventful, for several years ago he was sec
rotary Of Illinois and Nebraska. BE has a
wonderful talent for mimicry, and one Of our
correspondents heard him recite some time
ago, before stag party, in the rooms Of the
Chicago Press, club.

ture tour in Australia, but that he win can
eel his engagements in view Of the fact that
he has been elected to a serious and response

President Morris are thus far giving satisfac-
ton, and it is not likely that there will be a
change in the government for some time to
come Mr.. Blaine, secretary to President
Harris, has succeeded in electing his son to
the senate. Mr. Outlaw, who was elected to
France, has taken the oath of Office He is
said to be a very handsome gentleman, and

Another revolver has been fired OFF In tho

noticed wandering about in the big hall lead

able female produced a revolver from the re-

for the purpose Of drawing attention to her
self-a result which she had certainly suo-
ceeded in attaining, for all the barristers and
people who were lounging in the hall at once
crowded round her. The fact was that she
was engaged in law suit In which she was
much interested. The court, however, had
not arrived at a decision, and in her impa-
tience at the laws delay she had brought
down q revolver and fired 1t Off. The aged
person seemed to regard this proceeding as
the most natural thing in the world; but, un-
fortunately for her, the police did not share
her opinion, and she was marched off to the

posed to be incurable. For great many
years Doctors pronounced it local disease,

stantly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has pro-
ven catarrh to be a constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
