Jews adopted them 10 suit the circum-

They were also used in the feast of the
Passover. Hyde. in his description of
oriental sports, tells of one with eggs
among the Christians of Mesopotamia on
Faster Day. and forty days afterwards:
Inc sport consists in striking their eggs
one against another, and the egg that first

Nearly all that day she had wandered

Easter SuperstitiOns.

There are many superstitions connected
With Easter Sunday which are significant
OF the season, and are almost as impera-
tive as laws. One of these is the neces-
sity OF having something new to wear on
this day in order to insure happiness for
the coming year. Hence the Easter bon
net. Another one is that on that day the
sun Ounces. This is an old legend. and
the lines from Sir John Sucking are well
known:
But oh, she dances such Il way
No sun upon an Easter day
Is half SO fair Il sight"
1t is also claimed in heather countries,
where the superstition originated, that the

rising sun on Ostro. the name of Il heath

under a complete resumption of hy-
draulic mining itself. The necessity for
the construction of dams would be as
continuous as the activity in hydraulic
mining.
An industry which depends upon the
constant repetition of appropriations
from the national treasury on its be-
half is not one which promises anything
in the way of good to this common
wealth. We cannot depend upon the
Congress of the United States to make
such appropriations. We are not inter-
ested in this species of self-deception.
If, as we are informed, the miners have
broken faith with the valley, and have
opposed the appropriations for the inn
provement of the rivers, we are dis
posed to think that such appropriation
for the rivers was found to be an OBJ
struction to the passage of a bill appro-
priating money for the dams; and in
this we find a new element of conflict.
The dams will not perpetually restrain
the debris and the rivers must be de-
pended upon to carry the overflow to
the sea. Thus appropriation for the
dams means additional appropriation
for the rivers, and the legislative load
becomes heavier with each recurring
session of Congress. When this ques-
ton is stripped of it's false and fictitious
disguises, it appears naked in all it's
impracticable deformity.

A NEW RELATION.

Every time the United States asserts
itself in protest against some gross ac-
ton by a European Power; every time
we venture to declare living principle
Of freedom; whenever we manifest a
disposition to resist to the utmost en-
croachment upon human rights, or
speak and otherwise manifest our SYM
pathy for those who are demanding the
simple right of self government, we
have this worn, threadbare and now
stale cry cast up into our ears:
Brotherhood of man; blood is thicker
than water; the commonest interest of
civilization" and such twaddle.
How comes it that whenever we tread
upon English toes the answering cry of
pain is that of "fraternal blood" but
50 surely as we roar when English hob
nails crush our corns, we are told that
il is all water and no blood, cold busi-
ness and no fraternity, national policy
and not the sentiment of civilizacio
The last hurt ducknng to squeal and
raise the plea of common brotherhood
is Spain, who through one of her most
distinguished orators and illustrious
statesmen reminds us how much
we are in debt in gratitude to
that monarchy; how Cristoforo
Colombo discovered US, and how
Spain enabled him to do so; how neces-
sary it is that Spain should hold Cuba
as a buffer between ourselves and some
unknown robber nation, and then we
are reminded that we are brothers by
the ties of history and democratic in
stitutions," ETC., etc.
Heaven forefend that any proof of
this new blood relationship should be
established. If history has made US
brethren, it has done more than has
common interest and human sympathy.
We deny the relationship, we abjure the
claim, we repudiate the bond-the next
thing we know Menelek and his Camel
coal-colored followers will be claiming
to be our brothers, and pretty soon we
will begin to doubt our paternity.
