Some Curious Easter Customs.

From the American Agricultnrist.
At Queens College, Oxford, the first dish
brought TO the table on Easter day used to be
IA red herring riding away on horseback. On
Holy Saturday evening in some parts of Ire
land great preparations are made for the fin
lshing Of Lent. Fat hens and pieces of bacon
are put in the pot by the cotter's wife about 8
OF O'Clock, but woe to the person who dares
to touch IL before the cock crows. The peasants
rise at o'clock on Easter morning Ito see the
sun dance in honor Of the resurrection" At
Twlckenham there was an ancient custom of
dividing two great cakes among the young peo-
pie. In l6i5 parliament looking upon il as a
superstition, ordered the custom abandoned
and that loayes OF bread should be bought with
the money for the poor OF the parish. These
were thrown from the steeple to be scrambled
Tor. In some parts Of England there is still
the custom OF eating a CANNON Of bacon at
Easter; this was founded on the adherence our
forefathers wished to express toward the Jews
Tor their part IN the cruciixion One SUPER
stltion Is expressed in the following lines:
-on Easter let your clothes be new,
Or else be sure YOU Will II rue"
superstition long practiced on the continent
was 70 abstain from eating flesh ON Easter day
IN order TO escape fever during the year. In
Deroyshlre Is spring called Dropping Tor ;"
To this young men and maidens resort each
with pound OF sugar in one pocket and a cun
IN the other. They MI the cup with droppings
from the spring, dissolve the sugar in IL. and
drink II with anticipated matrimonial results.
Judging from the quantity of sugar. the antici-
psted results, realized. are sure to be sweet.
yet stranger custom was once common among
all classes in England and still prevailed at the
beginning of the present century. ION Easter

eight women surround such persons of the OBJ
posite sex as they happen 10 meet. and with or
without their consent. lift them three times above
their heads shouting at each elevation In repre-
sentation of our Sayior's resurrection" The
men in similar parties do the same on Easter
Tuesday. A custom hasily fallen into disnse
Is that Of wives beat their husbands on
Easter Tuesday, and husbands their wives on
the day following. Such customs, as well as
that OF young couples rolling down Greenwich
hill are proofs of the rude and coarse manners
which prevailed in earlier English life.
OF the decorations Of ''pace-eggs'' il is need.
less ~ speak. Every Easter, in the time OF
Louis XIV. eggs thus embellished used to be
piled high in pyramids on the royal table al
Versailles. When the king had surveyed the
pile of toys he distributed them among his
cOurtlers.

Joyce handed him pencil and piece of paper
and asked IL he could write his name. little ex-
pecting that he could do so, or that it could be
read after 1t was written. The little fellow SAT

plainly, "Boggs, 1927 O." MIR. Joyce at once
directed his steps with the child to No. 1927 d

THE JUDGES CHARGE.

After the argument Judge Bradley charged
the jury. and in the course Of his remarks re-
ferred to the impression with some persons
that on an opprobrious epithet being used the
right was given to shoot. Such was not the
law, and he was glad to say that in this COM
munity this opinion is not general No words
will justify the killing of a man. and in this
case the defendant admits that he fired the
pistol to scare or brighten the prosecuting wit
ness. 1t was for the jury to determine if he
had the intent to kill or fired simply to frighten
1t was fortunate in either theory of the case
that the shot was not fatal.
A VERDICT OF GUILTY.
The jury found a verdict of guilty with a
recommendation to mercy

A Pistol Shot In a Saloon.

In the Criminal Court this morning the case
of Thomas Stogle was called before Judge
Bradley, the charge being that on February 25
last, at Wendholtzs saloon, corner of 9th and
F streets, he committed an assault and battery
with intent to kill Frank Henson by shooting at
him. Mr.. Lipscomb appeared for the govern
ment and Mr.. Darlington for the defendant.
The testimony was to the effect that Harris
was somewhat intoxicated and while taking
lunch broke plate, when some words passed.
and it was alleged that Stogle, employed then
as waiter. shot at him. The defendant did
not deny the assault, but said that Harris had
called him A. of a - and he got the pistol
to scare him. He denied that he had any in
tention to kill. He asserted that he was not in
the habit of carrying a pistol, but when Dr.
Naylor was assaulted by red pepper being
thrown In his eyes he took the pistol for pro-
lection.

Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1889-02-05

Part of the plan of the Louis
lana Lottery Company is to manu-
facture public opinion against a
home lottery as they did in Oregon,
two years ago. They claim that a
few newspapers, few preachers
and smart public speaker or two,
can do it.
They will be spouting from the
stump in few days, talking NOR
atty and gingling the coin of Louis
lana in their pockets.

sUBsHDszED MORALITY.

The snti-lcttery people on "strict-
a. moral grounds" are still flooding
fie State with circulars aenouncing
the proposed scheme of State Lot
terry and their utterances are such
an odd mixture OF raist2tements and
cant that we are not surprised
that they are ashamed TO attach
their names to these hypocritical
and anonymous documents.
So far, not sizgle man, who
has issued these snealIing circulars
has had the courage or manliness to
attach his name to thsm.
Morality is an excellent thing in
8 man. bat when it has to be sub
subsidized with Louisiana Lottery
coin, it is only thing to bo spit
upon and dispisod.
There is only one thing that gives
rs consolation in it, and that is that
the coin the Louisiana Lottery
Company has raked from this State
for the passed FIVE years is coming
back again to be distributed in the
vicinity of its original source.
Thsre are many good men oppos-
ing the scheme, some for really con-
scisntions motives, and some from
an ignorance Of facts.
When one hears a man on the
street denouncIng tho scheme on
the ground of its corrupting and
immoral influence, just mentally
east your eye back over his general

not take long for you to reach a
conclusion whether he is opposing
it from . really moral standpoint or
because the agents of the louisiana
Company have moulded his ideas.

thieving games Of short cards and
who never plays poker unless he

There 10 another class of people
who are fighting the State Lottery.
Those who are not in, are terribly
exercised over the idea that somo-
body will make some money out Of
the scheme.
They have been noted for twenty
years for bucking savagely any
money making proposition that they
have no finger in.
All the money that is to be made
in Nevada, they want for them
selves. They are noted az business
hogs and get the money in ways
that would shame, even the old
Placerville chuck luck stands out OF
continuance.

i'm one OF the anti-lottery pamph-
lets the anonymous writer who
penned it alludes to the ignorance
which exists in all lottery localities
and closes by saying that it forcibly
reminds HIM OF the words OF the
great poet, who says:
sIll fares that land, to hastening
ills prey,
Where wealth increases and men
decay.
No poet ever said that. The man
was doubtless trying to quote from
Goldsmith's Deserted Village, and
was taking shy at the following:
ssIll fares the land. to hast'ning
ills prey,
Where wealth GccumalGtes, and
men decay.
Yet this man who makes three
mistakes in one familiar quotation
once held license to teach school
in this State. Attack the lottery
if you want to, but dom. mangle
poor Goldsmith who is in his grave
and cannot defend himself.
