In the conrse Of some interesting
remarks, Senator Alien of Nebraska
humorously declared there was no

PALM SUNDAY.

The most curious and unaccountable
custom of this season is that of using
the CAD whip at the Palm Sunday serv-
ice. In Lincolnshire, England, it is still
observed though very likely it might
have fallen into disuse if it had not
been connected with tenure of office
1t was made a condition in the Will
of some one connected with the estate
of BrOughtOn, who died who shall say
how many hundred years ago? This
curious ceremony begins on the porch
Of the Castor church and is finished
in front of the altar at the end of the
second lesson, either the owner of the
property in question or some one rep
resenting him making his appearance
in the church porch while the first les
son is being read. In his hand he car
ries a long CAD whip, which he cracks
three times and then folds neatly up.
He then retires until the clergyman
has begun the second lesson, when he
reappears holding the whip upright
At the small end of the stalk, where
the lash is fastened on, there is at
tached a purse containing 80 pieces of
silver. He kneels before the clergy
man, waves the whip thrice around his
head, then remains kneeling until the
end of the lesson.
The origin of this custom cannot be
ascertained. The purse and 30 pieces of
silver, of course, have reference to the
historical actions of Judas Iscariot.
But what is the significance of the
whiD?

EASTERTIDE.

The day is dawning and the eastern sky
Is flushed with rosy light of newborn
life.
Time wears fresh beauty as the moments
fly
And every age with added strength is
rife.
AS life goes out into the great unknown
We shudder at the shadow left behind
But on the vision of the soul that's flown
Dawneth the glory mortals cannot find.

Each bearing on its breast the seal of
truth,
Man, walking in the path whence Christ
hath gone,
Sees in each Easter glow the soul of
youth.

EASTER CAKES.

The origin of the various Easter
dOleS is interesting reading. In the
majority of cases the custom, once es-
tablished, is carried on through centu-
ries, with the notifications of time
and change of civilization, with 10
thought of its early significance. The
kind heart and charitable intent that
leave certain amount of money, the
interest of which is to buy annually
so many loaves of bread or cake or
such an amount of this or that, to be
given away to the deserving poor, are
seldom or never thought of. The
quaintness or unusual conditions, if
there be any that attach TO the Gus
tom, are all that attract attention.

EASTER JEWELS.

Consistency is virtue that is much
practiced during this season, and the
young woman who shall so much as
wear a red rose or cling to her favorite
jewels is considered to have fallen from
the grace which her more consistently
clothed sisters have attained A con-
spicuous lack in the spring millinery is
that of jewels, there being not so much
as a silver BUCKLE to brighten the SOM
berness of the blacks and grays. The
jeweled trimming used during the win
ter, which included every gem known to
man, from amethyst to topaz, has dis
appeared utterly.

FANCY BUTTONS.

The Russian enamel buttons and the

BUSINESS SUCCESS.
The Qualities that are Requisite
to Attain it: What Mr.. Asher
Edwards Has Accomplished
in Business,

We r literally living in a
business age. None but business
men succeed by their own efforts
these days. Everything demands
that strictly business principles
be applied. The tendency Of the
times is to do away with everys
thing on the elaborate order and
come down strictly to business.
The question Of living has forced
itself not to d question of how
can we get the daintiest or the
most fashionable to eat and to
wear, but how can we manage to
get along within our income.
When the boy reaches the age to
go to school it is not a question
of finding out what educational
institution can give him the most
classical education, but to what
school al he go where he can
be best fitted to fight the battles
of life and be Independent. The
school teacher who gets up the
most practical method of teacbs
ing, and a curriculum test suited
to teach a boy what he needs to
know to be a good business man,
is the successful teacher. And
this is true Of all the professions
and along all lines of business.
The man who has good business
sense and will Isl it cannot be
prevented from succeeding. In
all the professions and all lines
Of business there is always room
up stairs, and the man who will
use good judgment and per-
severance can get there.
Such methods have character
lied the business caree of Mr..
Asher Edwards, of this city, who
has succeeded not only in mercan-
tile pursuits, as his constantly in-I
creasing trade will show, but who
has gained a wide reputation as a
stock dealer, and is a farmer of
no small pretensions.
To all his pursuits he las APP
piled purely business principles,
and the success to which he has
attained must be gratifying to him
now in his ripening years, as well
as to his many admiring friends.
In business he is no less popu-
with the public than he is with
his more intimate friends at his
hospitable home. By his keen
foresight and good judgment he
has averted the financial reverses
that come to a great many during
dependency of trade, and has
at all c1mes been able to supply
,he wants of his army of custom
ers, and lend them succor in the
lour of need.

Spanish Troops Leaving Cuba.

Jacksonville, Fla, April 26.-
Thomas G.. Alvord, a newspaper
correspondent just back from
Havana, reports that the regular
army of Spain is being deported
at the rate of 500 men per week,
and that the Government OF
Spain now owes its army $685.
600, 900. Two million dollars will
have to be raised by June 1 to
pay the interest of the war debt.
The income from the island is
not greater than Isl. 300, 600 per
month, and the expense of war
Id more than $11, 600 600. It is
believed that the Spanish Gov
eminent, in view of the Graeco-
Turkish war, will be unable to
borrow money from the powers.
This is the reason for Withdraw
ing the troops.
The most recent reports are
that the insurgents are being
modified in Havana province
and that Gomez is in the south
western part of Santa Clara with
Gen Weyler in the vicinity. Quin-
tin Banderas has planned to at
tack Weyler so that Gomez will
have a chance of getting into
Havana province.
During the past week another
expedition. believed to be from
the steamer Burmuda, has been
landed on the Mantanzas side of
Guauabaco. Pinar del Rio bias

for six months, but there are
still 5000 Spanish soldiers there

Daily Argus, last Tuesday.
In response to the call issued by
the Executive Committee of tbs
First and Second wards, the Dem
ocrats met last night at the Court
House and. Opera House to nomi-
nate candidates for Aldermen for
the ensuing year.
Both wards were represented
by large crowds and the delibera-
tions of each convention were car
ried out with the greatest harmos
ny. The large crowds that have
been present at the municipal nom
mating convention this year is a
source of qualification to every
good Democrat. as is also the
good feeling that has prevailed.
There never was, perhaps, a
better list of names presented for
the consideration of any municipal
convention than those that were
on the several tickets last night.
An election of the required num-
Der of any of the names presented
would have given satisfaction.
The following are the names of
the candidates from each ward
