A GLANCE Az THE PAST.

The Tucson, Arizona, Citizen is get
ting along in years, as instance thu
following paragraph from that paper1'
lengthy editorial announcement OF its
anniversary:
Newspapers, like individuals, have their
anniversaries. Upon such occasion 1t is
but natural to take a retrospect OF the
past, and indulge in a feeling of satisfac-
trun at wnaJever good IL has assisted IN
accomplishing. The Citizen has just passed
the twenty-seveath a~nniver sary Of its FIRST
publication. What changes have occurred
in Tucson since then, what progress and
advancement the city OF Tucson, the county
OF Pima, and the Territory Of Arizona has
made since the Citizen made its bow to a
frontier community, and promised
to not only give its patrons tn
news, but to do its utmost to
upbuild the community from which
1t expected, and has bountifully received
its support. The first feature of the retro,
spect Of to-d,y TO twenty seven years ago,
and the saddest, is the absence of the
many friends and many familiar faces OF
those who have taken the trail that leads
to that borne from which no traveller
ever returns" They have crossed the
great divide and Joined the immortals.

Ono Of the most PECULIAR of festivals
observed In all parts Of the world 10
that OF All HaIlow's Eve, the anniver-
sary Of which occurs on the night ofthe
last day Of October. In different
countries Us observance varies, that Of
the United States being IN some res
poets peculiar and hardly TO be COM
mended, the occasion being used as
one for the preparation Of practical
kes, some OF them being Of the most
outrageous character. In many COM
muniues, however, the good, old
european fashions yet prevail and
family gatherings and social parties are
made the SPECIAL features,
In Europe, the leading thought Is
that 1t is the time of all others when
supernatural influences prevail. A
universal walking abroad OF spirits 10 ex-
pected and the gift OF calling spirits
from the vasty Deep is believed to
become available to all who choose to
ass the privilege OF the occasion.
In Ireland, according to Brands
Popular Antiquities. IL is a custom.
when the young women would know II
heir lovers are faithful, 10 put three
nuts upon the bars Of the CRATE on
HallowD'en, naming the nuts alter the
overs. II q nut cracks or jumps the
lover will prove unfaithful il it begins
10 blaze or burn, he has a regard for
the person making the trial. III the
nuts named after The girl and her lover
burn together, they will be married.
An old custom prevails. in some
localities Of England, Of hanging up a
stick horizontally by a string from the
ceiling, and putting a candle on one
end and an apple on the other. The
stick being made to twirl rapidly, the
merry -makers, in succession, leap up
and snatch at the apple with their
teeth, Ono use of the hands being
allowed), but it frequently happens
that the candle comes around before
they are aware, and either s~corches
them or annoints them with grease.
But the grand sport with apples on
Hallowe'en is to set them afioat in a
tub Of water, into which the Juveniles
by turns, duck their heads, with the
view of catching an apple. There is
great fun in watching their efforts
indeed, all the sports connected with
the old.time observance OF the festival
are conducive to laughter.
A number Of citizens OF Las Vegas
will, this evening, give their little folk
entertainments beftting this ami
versary, at which the larger ones will
not refuse to be present and assist.
The innocent observance of this
festival may, at times, be made the
instrument of much harm, however.
