New York millionaire: "Prince Roland
Bonaparte writes me that he will arrive

The case is an odd on«. Seven years ago
Mm, Smith, mother of Mxv. Tunell, died
near Albert Lee, Minn., and among her
effects was a tin box full of various
papers which she had directed to be
given to her daughter. The box was
looked, over by Mra. TuneU and then laid
aside. A lew days ago she had occasion
to eefer to a paper in the box, and did so
in the presence of M. Royce. Mr. Royce
caught sight of three exprees orders
issued to Mrs. Smith and never yet
cashed. The orders all bore date *of
1868, were made by the Adams Express
company and their aggregate face value
was $1,000. Mrs. TuneU could not be
lieve her eyee, when the orders were
shown to her, and she understood that
they were wonfe $1,000. At 6 per cent,
interest for all the time the Adams
company has had the money the oom
pany makes $1,500. and Mrs. Tunell
loses that sum by the deal.

Easter, which is now proceeded by
Lent, in early days was introduced by
fasting on one day only, the Friday in
Passion week, now known as Good Fri
day. By and by the time was extended
to forty hours, in token that Christ, had
lain that long in the tomb. Some cen
turies later this was extended to forty
days, in commemoration of the season of
the temptation and fast in the wilderness.
The name Easter is probably derived
from the Teutonic goddess of spring,
Ostera or Oestre, whose festival occurs
about the same time as the observance
of Easter. Lent is derived from the
Anglo Saxon word, lencten, which means
"spring," and has no connection at all
with fasting, as some people imagine.
It was not until the fourth century
that there was any regularity about the
fixing the date of Easter Sunday. Those
of the early Christians who believed
the Christian Passover to be a com
memoration of Christ's death adhered
to the custom of holding the Easter fes
tival on the day prescribed for the
Jewish pasch, the fourteenth day of the
first month that is, the lunar month,
of which the fourteenth day either falls
on or next after the day of the vernal
dqotaox.
But most of the Christian churches,
attaching greater importance to the day
of Christ's resurrection, held to Eaater
being celebrated on the Sunday which
followed the fourteenth day of the moon
of March, the day on whieh Christ
suffered.

The aristocracy of Europe has at last
set itself to getting a living in the way*
of leas exalted people—that ia, by trade
and barter. Whether we who buy of
them have not to pay a pretty penny for
the honor is another question, but it is
•true that the Duke of Edinburgh played
in an orchestra last week, and there are
six titled dames in London who are in
the millinery business, and a very flour
ishing concern is the Gentlewoman's Tea
company, all 60 of whose members have
"Hon." before their names. This com
pany has a house in the heart of Bond
street, where the would be purchaser
may go to taste the wares and be waited
on by a scion of nobility in a muslin cap
and apron, who handles tea as if she had
been bora to it. All these wares are im
ported, blended, packed and sold by the
mem here of the concern.
Then in Paris a baroness and a com
pany of ladies make and sell all manner
of fine and delicately perfumed soaps,
toilet waters, powder, dentifrice, etc. It
is de rigueur to have this whole soap
stamped with the crest and monograms
of the owner, and these ladies have in
vented a dainty little cake called "Lawn
Tennis Soap." just large enough for once
using. The ingenious baroness sits in
the shop and entertains her visitors
while they select what they wish. But
one can fancy only a very bold spirit
possessing the audacity to argue about
prices or to lpok at goods without a defin
ite intention of buying. We are suf
ficiently in awe of the shoplady as she is
without adding a title to all her other
insignia of superiority. —Hartford Cour

Earljr Rising For Cold Mornings.
Maine people are very early risers, sad
just now the scarcity of daylight leads
to some troublesome mistakes. A Bel
last woman, whose sons work in a fac
tory, arose the other morning, bnilt a
fire, got breakfast and called the mem
bers of her family, who were all ready
to ait down to breakfast, when one of
the boys looked at his watch and found
it to be but five minutes past 3, standard.
As the factory wasn't putting in extra
time on that end of the day. all again
sought their beds for another nap.
About 4 o'clock one of the recent cold
est mornings the night watchman of
the Stone mill at Dexter was surprised
by the appearance at the mill of one of
the workmen, who came all ready to be
gin hia day's work. "I hated to get tip
like thunder, 'cause it's so cold," he ex
plained as he came in. "Why ain't you
ughted up?" When the w&tchman con
vinced him that he had got out of his
warm nest about two hours too early, the
warmth of hia feelings, as expressed in
words, gave the mercury quite a rise in
thafr vicinity.—Bangor (Me.) Canuner-
Opiam a Cause of Suicide.
"I have been taking opium for the last
four years. It was on leaving the army
that I met a young man to whom I ex
plained that I Suffered from severe bead
ache. He advised me to take opium, and
I said to him, 'Won't it grow upon me?
He replied, 'No.' I have heard since
that he hanged himself. I took to eat
ing the drug, and from day to day 1
swallowed increased doses until I could
take one dram every day. I used to roll
it up into pills. When my money be
came short, and I was unable to get any
more opium my life became misery. I
craved for it without effect, and as I
could not exist any longer without it I
cut my throat,." This was the statement
made by one George Hall, on whom an
inquest was held at Burlington yester
day, to a doctor. This doctor said 10
grains under ordinary circumstances
were fatal. "Suicide while temporarily
insane," was the verdict.—Pall Mall
Gazette.
Abolish th« Days of Grace.
Bankers and lawyers are pretty well
agreed, we believe, as to the advisability
of doing away with days of grace, and
legislation to this effect has been recom
mended to the various states by the:
state boards of commissioners to pro
mote uniformity of legislation. It is de
sirable that the laws of the several states
shall be uniform on this subject for the
general convenience of bankers and mer
chants.
There is no longer any reason for
granting days of grace. Days of grace
belong to the times when the facilities of
communication were vastly less than
now, and when the three days' notice
was a matter of necessity almost, and
certainly a matter of accommodation.
No reason exists nowadays why notes
and bills should not fail due at the exact
time agreed upon.—Detroit Tribune.
To Whom Labor Is Hast.
In contemplating the sudden death of
General Butler, the immediate resxflt of
exposure while hard at work at the age
of 75, many people naturally aak* "Why
