D. G. s., Decatur, asks: Why is an
egg the symbol of Easter? Ans. Easter
was the festival of the spring, the open.
ing of the wear of nature; and the egg is
the symbol Of the recreation of spring
The Jews adapted the ancient spring
festival to their religion and called it the
Passover; the Christians adapted the
Passover into Easter; and both Jews
and Christians took the egg with the
festival, the former as the symbol of the
new birth, the latter as the symbol oil
the resurrection.

DAM KENTUCKY ANY WAY.

OAM NEW UNI ANY WAY.
Kentucky is the birthplace of thu
writer, but he is not particularly proud
of the fact. Kentucky is truly "the dark
and bloody ground " IT. was in the
back woods of Kentucky that a Colored
man was skinned alive because he was
suspected of having committed crime
There was no absolute pro ,fagainst him
The lynching of CoIored men charged
with crime is common occurrence.
The Kentucky legislature is now discuss.
ing the separate Car law, and it is pr b
able that ere long the damnable law will
disgrace the statute book Of the State.
In the State of Kentucky sc oarate
schools exist. In many respects The
schools tor Colored people are inferior
to those OF the whites, but they are bet.
ter than no schools. In the CITY OF
Louisville there are frst-class ColoreI
schools. The buildings are good and
the teachers well qualified for their
work. The Central CoIored school cor
ner of Sixth and Kentucky sire cts, 80
long the pride Of Lonisville's Colored
citizens is 10 be taken away from them
AT recent meeting of the Louisville
school board it was decided to transfer
the Colored pupils of Central School to
an old building now used bv the whites
and give the whites the nice Central
School building. THIS will save the ex.
pense OF putting up new building for
fhe whites and even if the Colored peo
pie do suffer that is matter of no i'm
portance to the school board. This
change is a damnable outrage on Louis
ville's Colored citizens. Dam Kentucky
anyway!

The majority Of the people of Texas
would prefer 10 20 to hell in white com.
pany. rather than enjoy the oderiferlous
presence of the Colored man on a
through journey to the realms supernal
-Dennison, Tex, Evening Dispatch.
There'll be no trouble about the whites
in Texas and other portions of the South
getting to hell, That's where the ma
jority Of them rightly belong. Nine
tenths of the white population of the
South are barbarians so far as their
treatment of the Colored people is con-
cerned. People who shoot, drown, skin
and burn human beings simply because
they are black, deserve the tortures of
the damned and if there's any justice in
the next world they'll surely catch hell.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2i.-Charles Il. Will
lisms, the ex-emplOye of Rand Nc
Nally d Co., whom that concern
charges with having embezzled S25, 200,
has filed bill IN the superior court
containing serious allegations of fraud
against the company. Williams asks
the court 20 appoint a receiver for the
firm of Rand, McNally IL Co. to order
an accounting. and to restrain the
company from prosecuting the $50, 600
suit brought against him q short time
ago. Instead of his owing the firm
S25, 900. he alleges the firm owes HIM
over $40 900 besides over $1,000 back
salarv.
In 1875, says the complainant says,
he conceived the idea of publishing
a bankers directory, to be known
as the "Bankers' Almanc." Williams
made contract with Rand, McNally
Il Co. to publish tho work, they to re-
ceive half the profits and pay him $50
week. Williams says that in May,
1892. the defendants wished to sell
their business TO an English syndicate,
aud as the hank directory was the best
paying publication, they plotted to
force complainant out. lie alleges
that an attorney for the firm threat
ened him tina. he was liable to be sent
10 the penitentIary. He says also that
the firm caused a warrant to be sworn
out for his arrest on q false charge of
forgery.
Williams declared that he had not re-
celved any value for his half interest
IN the directory. nor all his share of
the profits, the latter being not less
than $50, 900. He believes that an ac-
counting will show 100000 due him.

about 500 revolutlonists, which result
ed IN the defeat Of the marshals and
the capturing of two Of the latter, who

Just before daylight Friday morning
the camp Of the marshals was attacked
by about 500 well armed and equipped

shals made a desperate resistance, but
were overpowered and compelled to
make u retreat. The revolutlonists re-
leased Palacios and captured two of
the deputy marshals, who renamed

of the revolutionists were killed and
wounded, and that three of the United

There is also runOr here today that
the deputies who were taken prisoners
were hsnged by the revolutionists and
their bodies rlddled with bullets, but
no confirmation of this last rumor has
been received. 1t is Understood that

arranging for capturing the desperate

about forty miles north of Guerrero
