1t seems to be generally believed that
Gov. jackson will appoint Col. H. Kyd
Douglas to succeed Judge Syester. The
appointment will only be until the election
next fall, but Col. Douglas, if appointed,
will presumably be given the nomination
for the full term. The Republican candi-

EASTER.

The ancients celebrated the return of the
glad season of birds and blossoms with
noisy festivities. Their god was the god Of
nature symbolized in many rude form,
but their joy of heart was one with ours
without the solemnity or sacredness. For
not only do we rejoice in renewed life in
nature, but we memorable the 2perFsg q :.
The sealed doors ola tomb, when gloom and
sorrow shadowad The world And from the
grave came forth the Lord Of heaven and
earth to answer the longing in human
hearts
"For Jesus has risen and man shall no; die"
There have been controversies over the
date and day of Easter since pagan times,
but the present law decreed by Constantine
at Nice in 325, since when the celebration
has been observed by the Christian church,
without interruption, on the first Sunday
after the full moon, which happens upon
or next after March 21st, the opening day
of Spring. Thus Easter may come as early
as March 22nd or late as April 25th. In
England 1t portends disaster if the day falls
near March 25th, which is Lady's Day
The custom of making Easter the open
ing fashion day is not modern one. An
ancient rhyme runs:
"At Easter let your clothes be new
Or else you will be sure to rue"
Probably then, as now, a great many did
rue because their clothes were not new, but

Eggs were held in veneration by the an
cient Egyptians as emblems of renewal of
human life after the deluge. The custom
Of dyeing them is as old as the origin of the
day itself. In the reign of Edward OF
England, it is recorded that 400 eggs were
purchased at 1S pence, to be dyed with
herbs and weeds or the colors of commerce
for presents to be given ON Easter Day.
But the most significant and beautiful of
all observances is in the wealth Of flowers
which filled church and cathedral on Sun

the glad voice of song which proclaimed
the risen Lord and the surety of mans NOR

Better Roads.

The last State Republican has good
article on the improvement of the
county roads in which 1t said that 'the
people are awakening everywhere on
this subject, and Virginians cannot
afford to nod over it any longer.
Pennsylvania ind other States have
appointed special commissions to con
slider it; New York and other States
have organized road associations and
in the great West economic and
agricultural societies are offering
prizes for the best essays, plans, and
estimates for making and maintaining
good roads. SO far there is a unani-
nifty in favor Of taxation in cash (not
in labor, &c.) for roads, tins tax to be-
leyied not exclusively on land owners
and farmers, but generally, on every
body, according to ability, as every
body is a beneficiary of easy and
cheap transp )rtation. Another gener
ally agreed thing is that the materials
furnished and work done should be by
contract, under State and county
official direction and supervision. An
other is that a uniform system for a
State should be adopted and enforced,
subject to amendment only as eX-
perlence may dictate. And, finally,
there is no dissent from the PROPOSE
ton that it is better for county or
district to borrow the money to make
its roads good at once, rather than to
postpone the work, or to let it linger
along on inadequate current taxes. 1t
is also urged that a solution of the
convict labor question, and to some ex-
tent, solution of the road problem,
are at once found in putting convicts
to work on roads. The most reliable
testimony in that State concurs in
declaring that convict labor is the
best labor, as well as the cheapest, for
building railroads as making and
mendng the dirt roads of the country.
This testimony is based on experience,
too.
The macadamized road is the model
well located, well graded, well con
structed and well drained, with snb-
sequept care to keep it in good order
But the first cost of this road is large :
vel it is recommended as the cheapest
and most economical in the long run !;
and if county, or district, with eve n
State help, is afraid from any cause to
undertake the macadam road at once,
it should at least come as near that
model as practicable, and work toward
it until it is fully realized. - Wood
