Easter Sunday.
In view of tbe general observ
ance of Easter by tbe whole Christ
lan family, we reproduce tho fol
lowing data from Chambers's En
cyclopedia: ig
Easter, tlio festival of the resur
rection of Jesus Christ, derives
probably its Teutonic name from
the festival of the goddess Ostara,
(In Anglo-Saxon Eastre) which the
Saxons of old wero wont to cele
brate about the same season at
which the Christian festival of
Easter occurs. In the ancient
ohurch, the celebration of Easter
lasted eight days. After the Elev
enth ceutury, however, it was lim
ited to threp, and In later times,
generally to two days. It was form
erly the favorite time for perform
ing the rite of baptism. The courts
of justice were closed, and alms
dispensed to the poor aud needy,
who were even feasted lv the
churches—a custom which led to
much disorder. Slaves also re
ceived their freedom at thatseason;
and us the austerities ot Lent were
over, the people gave themselves
up to enjoyment; hence tho day
was called the " Sunday of Joy."
To tbo popular sports aud dunces
were added farcical exhibitions, in
which even the clergy joined iv
some places, reciting from the pul
pits stories and legends, with a
view to stir the hearers to laughter.
Against this Indecency, the reform
ers of the Sixteenth Century loudly
aud successfully raised their voices.
During the whole week before
Easter— that is, iv the interval be
tween Palm Sunday and tbe begin
ning of the Easter festival—daily
services were held. On Easter day,
tue people saluted each other with
tbe Easter kius, and tho exclama
tion Surrcxit (He has risen); to
which the reply was Vere aurrexit
(He is risen indeed). The chief
solemuity always consisted of the
celebrution of the Lord's Supper.
POPULAR OBSERVANCES.
Many of the popular obscrvuuees
connected with Easter are clearly
of pugau origin. The goddess Os
tara or Eastre seems to have been
the personification of Hie morning
or east, and also of tile opening
year or spring. The Anglo-Saxon
name of April was Estermonatb,
and it is still known in Germany
as Estermonatb. The worship of
tb s being seems to have struck
deep root in Northern Germany,
and was brought into England by
the Saxons. It continued to he
celebrated in many parts in lhe
north of Germany down to Ibe be
ginning of the present century, by
tbe kindling of boiilires aud mi
nierous other rites. Like the May
observances of England, it was es
pecially v festival of joy. Willi
her usual policy, the church en
deavored to give a Christian sig
uillcauce to such of the rites as
could uot be rooted out; und in this
case the conversion was particu
larly easy. Joy at the rising of the
natural sun, and at the awakening
of nature from the death of winter,
became joy at tho rising of the Sun
of Righteousness—at the resurrec
tion of Christ from Hie grave. The
bonfires can be traced iv the great
"paschal tapers," sometimes
weighing 300 pounds, witli which
the churches were lighted ou East
er Eve. Iv the ancient church dis
bursements of St. Mary-at-Hlll, in
tbe city of London, there is even
an entry "For a quarter of coles for
the hallowed flic on Easter Eve,
6d."
The most characteristic Easter
rite and tho oue most widely dif
fused is tbe use of Pasch (i. c. East
er) eggs. They are usually stained
of various colors with dye-woods or
herbs, and people mutually nake
presents of them. Sometimes they
are kept as amulets, sometimes
eaten. Games are also played by
striking Ihem against one another.
In some moorland parts of Scot
land it used to be the custom for
young people to go out early ou
"Pasch Sunday" aud search for
wild fowls' eggs for breakfast, and
it is thought lucky to flud them.
There can belittle doubt that the
use of eggs at this season was orig
inally symbolical of the revivifica
tion of nature —tbe springing forth
of life in spring. Tho practice is
not routined to Christians; the
Jews used eggs in tlio feast of the
Passover, and we aro told that Hie
Persians, when they keep the fes
tival of the new solar year, in
March, mutually preseut each
other with colored eggs.
From the Christian point of view
this "Feast of Eggs" lias been usu
ally considered as emblematic of
the resurrection and of a future
life.
Notwithstanding the inclemeuoy
of the weather yesterday evening,
a delegation from Miuuehaha
Lodge, I. O. G. T., of Downey, vis
ited Merrill Lodge. A recess was
declared for introduction aud con
versation. After the adjourument
of the Lodge the visitors and a few
members of Merrill Lodge went to
Merriam's oonfectlouery aud res
taurant, on Spring street, and par
took of refreshments, and hud a
social time. At about half-past 11
the Downey friends started ou
their way homeward, having, no
doubt, enjoyed their visit to Los
Augeles.
The Tooth family do not hide
their lights, such as they are, un
der bushels. The Rev. Cbarles
Tooth, who made such a disturb
ance in the English ritualistic
world by his proceedings at
Hatcham, has a reverend brother,
Arthur, wbo tried unsuccessfully to
start a Ritualistic Church at Sieua,
of all places, but fouud it a barren
and dry ground, there being few
English or Americaus there, and
these few much too hard up to
spend their cash in ecclesiastical
man millinery. The Rev. Arthur
thereupon betook himself to the
more promising Held offered by
Florence, aud started an opposition
shop to the Rev, Dr. Loftus Totten
ham, an elderly diviue of au aris
tocratio Irish family, and all
Anglo-Florentines are now Tooths
or Tottenhams, aud the tug of war
is fierce between tho rival brethreu.

KEARNEYISM AND THE CON
VENTION.
001. Dmahua'a Views—He Will Dot bs Pat
ent at the Conference.
Encountering Col. Peter Dona
hue, the Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee,
yesterday, we availed ourselves of
the opportunity to ascertain his
views as to the approaching confer
ence at tho Palace Hotel, on the
24th Inst In response lv an in
quiry, Col. Donahue informed us
lhat ho would uot be present at the
conference. He is on a paseo for his
health, having been suffering se
verely from neuralgia. His wife,
also, is an invalid. On leaving Los
Angeles he will go to Paso Rubles
Springs, to test, for his wife and
himself, tho benefit to bo derived
from tbe famed sulphur waters of
that resort.
To nu inquiry as to what be
thought of the proposed fusion of
tiie two parties, Col. Donahue im
plied that it tiie Republican party
thought itself master of the situa
tion no such overture would ever
have come from it. He himself had
given very little attention to poli
tics of late, uud he had found his
position as Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee by
no means a beil of roses when he
was actively engaged in the party
campaign.
The conversation next turning to
Kearneyism, Col. Donahue said
that tho newspapers had couferred
on the agitator a great deal of undue
Importance. Kearneyism would
have amounted to nothing at all
had it not beeu for the constant
prominence given to its leader in
this way. Kearney was a very or
dinary man, with simply the" girt
of energy. Mucli of the strength of
the Democratic party in California
comes from the Irish Catholics. It
was v mistake to suppose that
Kearney influeuceJ a largo element
of this class. The Alta, in its dis
cussion of Archbishop Alemauy's
letter, had assumed that Kearney's
followers were made up largely of
Irish Catholics. This was not so
Tho Workingmeu's ticket would,
in Col. Donahue'soplniou, draw off
more votes from the Republican
than from the Democratic party.
Tbe Democrats who had affiliated
witli Kearney ism would, in large
measure, return to the Democracy.
All that was needed was lhat the
situation should be fully explained
to them by competent speakers.
From the foregoing, It will be
seen that, while Col. Douahuo did
not directly commit liimself on the
question of fusion, he is by no
means v purtizau of tliu movement
tn surrender tbe Identity uf tho
Democratic party.
MONTGOMERY BLAIR'S BILL.
An Intorviow with Mr. Blair—Tho People
Dofrau led of their Bight).
[From the Detroit News]
Mr. Blair—l am aware that many
Democrats have private reasons
for desiring that tliu contest shall
not be opened. But I have no fears
that any Democrat will attempt to
defeat the passage uf tbo bill. They
dure not do it. There is a power
behind this measure that no Dem
ocrat will care to encounter or op
pose.
Correspondent—To what Jo you
allude?
Mr. Blair—The people, who have
been defrauded of their rights, uud
wbooaremore for the perpetuity
of republican eoyerumont than for
the ambitious schemes of rival
Presidential candidates, whoso
prospects for 1890 would be jeopar
dized by seatiug Mr. Tildeu iv the
chair to which everybody knows
andudmits lm was elected. lum
perfectly well aware that there are
many Democrats who would like
to let this matter rest where it is;
but when it comes to voting on
the bill they will not dare to man
ifest their opposition. I round
them in the Maryland Legisla
ture.
Correspondent — Did you meet
with much opposition there? I see
the vote in favor of your resolution
wus very large.
Mr. Blair—When I first intro
duced it I could get but six Demo
crats to consent to its introduction
or to promise to, support it. But
they knew that I hud the senti
ment of the great mass of the
Democratic party with mo, and
they did not care to oppose that.
It has been said here in Wat'iing
ton that I am a very magnetic
man aud that I carried my resolu
tion through merely because of my
great personal influence. The idea
is absurd—it's all bosh. The power
of my "magnetism" and personal
influence is. illustrated by tho vote
I got fur Senator in the hotly
which is said to be controlled by
me.
Correspondent — How many did
you get?
Mr. Blair—Two; that is the ex
tent of my personal influence in
that body. My resolution was
passed because It was right, and be
cause the Democratic members of
the Legislature knew that the peo
ple demanded it at their bauds.
And that is the way members of
Congress will view it. Why, sir,
every man of common s»use knows
that it would he death to the Dem
ocratic party if its representatives
iv Congress should solemnly refuse
to avail themselves of the provis*
ions of the Electoral law in refer
ence to the adjudication of lhe
question. Tbo Republicans could
then say to us, "You dared not try
the case before a judicial tribunal.
You have accused us of stealing
the Presidency, but you shrank
from having tliu charge investi
gated, because you knew that the
charge was false. It is you who at
tempted to steal the Presidency, but
you failed." No; if we are ever to
succeed iv electing a Democratic
President we must show the peoplo
that we desire suouess, aud that we
will not tamely submit tv be robbed
of the fruits of our victory wbeu we
do sucoeed. There are hundreds of
thousands of Democrats lv the
ceuntry to-day who will never vote
a Democratic ticket agaiu if we do
uot at least make an honest effort
to right the monstrous wrong which
has been done by robbing ihem. of
their franchises.
Correspondent—But how about
the Republicans in Congress. Will
they not oppose your bill?
Mr. Blair—No, sir. With what
show of consistency oould they
refuse tn allow Mr. Tildeu to avail
himself of tho rights which are
conceded iv the electoral law itself
—that of having the question ad
judicated before the Supreme
Court. Besides, Ido not imagine
tbat in the preseut temper of Re
publican Congressmen they will
care to exert themselves very
strenuously to assist Mr. Hayes to
retain tbe place whloh be has
ÜBed for the confusion and humili
ation of those wbo helped him to
his position. They are on the
point of kicking him overboard, at
any rate. But It would be death to
the Democratic party to adopt
him, even if his owu party at
tempt to drive him into it.
Correspondent—Who is tlio au
thor of the bill in question?
Mr. Blair—David Dudley Field
is tlio author of it, but it has re
ceived the approval and endorse
of the greatest legal minds of the
couutry. Mr, Field will be lv
Washington himself in a few days.
Correspondent -How long do you
calculate that it will take to put
the machinery in motion?
Mr. Blair—A very short time
will suffice. The bill will provide
for a speedy trial, and by a jury in
which the people will have confi
dence.
Just at this moment a delegation
of Congressmen came in and took
Mr. Blair away from me by force.
Downey Items.
The following items are from the
Downey City Courier of April
20th:
Corn has been coming in quite
lively this week, doubtlesß under
the stimulus ofa brisk and advanc
ing market. Six or eight teams at
a time wero almost constantly in
line.
We learn from Mr. John Mitro
vicb that work is still being prose
cuted toward oponing the coal mine
lately discovered. There is every
indication that the vein is a very
large and permanent oue.
Our exports tbe present week
have been as follows: Corn, 2,321
sacks, weighing 342,791 pounds;
wool, 9 bales, weighing 3,656
pounds; merchandise,2,oss pounds.
Total, 348,502 pounds.
The heaviest liail storm we ever
remember to have experienced in
California occurred on Monday
night last, about 10 o'clock, con
tinuing about fifteen minutes. The
hail stones seemeil like small sized
cannon balls as they poured upon
the roof.
Wo understand that fruit iv this
section will be very backward this
year, on account of the cold condi
tion of the ground. Now that we
are promised warm and growing
weather fruit will mature much
more rapidly. There is promise of
an abundant fruit crop.
