The waiting on the banks of the Nile was then dweltupon till that early morning when, by the light of the waning moon, the first boat came down, and when was heard the mournful tidings, and from lip to lip were whispered the words, ‘* Khartoum, Khartoum has fallen !”

With these words Mr, Villiers clused his picturesque lecture. To-night the subject will be, ‘‘ Here, There and Everywhere.” There will, no doubt, be a full house.

April Gleanings.

Tue first day of the month of April is called ** All Fools Day.” From a very early age the 1st of April has been con- sidered as one set apart for the exercise of all kinds uf mirthful folly aud practical joking ; the term given to it we may hold as a travestie of the festival of All Saints Day. ‘The custom of playing off little tricks on this day, whereby ridicule may be fixed upon urguarded individuals, ap- pears to be universal throughout Europe. it is very remarkable that the Hindcos practice precisely similar tricks on the 31st of March, when they have what is called! the Huli festival.

EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 21st.

The viands appropriate to Easter Day in the old times were, first and above ail, eggs, bacun, tansy pudding, and bread and | cheese. ‘he origin of the connection of! eggs with Easter is lost in the mists of remote antiquity. (Probably the escape of the chicken from the shell, after lying in the hatching nest for awhile, suggested the egg a8 an appropriate symbol upon Easter} Day.—Epb.) ‘The Pope formerly blessed! eggs to be distributed throughout the Christian world for use on Easter Day. Formerly the King of England had hun- dreds prepared to give to his household. in a roll of the expenses of Edward I., there occurs in the accounts of Easter Sun- day, in the eighteenth year of his reign, ‘** ¥our hundred anda half of eggs, eighteen | pence.” (Living must have been easy then | when a dozer of eggs could be got for a!

pomp of the festival of the Sunday before. 8T. GEORGE'S DAY, APRIL 23.

St. George is held as the titular or patron saint of England. He is said to have been a native of Cappadocia; and it is tolerably clear that he washeld in great veneration by the Greeks in the fourth century.

SI. MARK’S Day, APRIL 25.

Y. M. C. A. Hail last evening. The Hall was thronged, and the want of a larger and | better hail was again made apparent. |

St. Mark the Evangelist’s Day is a holi-! day of the Church of England. It was once customary to bless the fruits of the

though the air was dense and the people packed *‘ like herrings ina box.”. Brigade- Major Irving, who presided, introduced the lecturer in a neat and very appropriate speech.

Mr. Villiers was attired in a Norfolk jacket of grey cloth with knickerbockers to match and rough wool hose, and carried { his field glass, water bottle and revolver in case slung over his shoulder.

Before proceeding with the lecture proper Mr. Villiers gave an interesting description of how sketches are prepared for the illustrated papers. The Russo-Turkish war was the first scene of action depicted, and

circumstances. Good humor prevailed, '

were well and vividly portrayed. The lecturer’s description of bow the Gravitza redoubt was stormed and captured by the Russians, and how the retaking of the positions at Radishova was accomplished by the Turkish troops, waa very dramatic in- deed. Amid all the seriousness of the situation attending the retreat of the Rus- sians, Mr. Villiers introduced his famous ‘* charger,” with its equine eccentricities, always displayed at most critical moments, and the wudience had to laugh. At Plevna, within the forts, the audience was intro- duced to Archibald Forbes writing his famous Daily News despatch. Then came the saddest sight of all, the march of the prisoners over Roumauian roads to Russia and death. The snow-covered plains, the killing frost, the long black line of slow- moving miserable prisoners, the dying men that drop out, the brutal Russian guards, the howling hordes of hungry dggs around, the blackenmg cloud of carrion crows above, boldly confident of their prey—as the details of this scene were put before the audience with a quiet, dramatic force that was irresistible, the horror of war was in- delibly impressed on everyone present. Everthe pleasing meeting with the Little Sister could not dispel the picture frvim the mind. The second part of the lecture em- braced the events preceding and attendant onthe bombardment of Alexandria. A very good description of Abysinnia, ita peo- ple and its king was mext given. After- wards the portrait of Lord Wolseley was shown and the voyage up the Nile begun. The pictures of the voyageurs and of Col. Fred. Dennison evoked ap- plause, and the lecturer’s account of his own mishap was well told. The revelation of the extent of Lord Wolseley’s campaign- ing wardrobe was startlingly instructive, and was received with merriment. Then came the account of the lecturer’s trip across the desert with Herbert Stewart. Portraits of Stewart, Fred, __Bar- naby and Sir Charles Wiison were shown, and the lecturer gave a very graphic description of the manner: and customs of

There is a curious legend about The Wood of the Cross, in a very old manuscript. It is as follows: When Adam was dying he sent his son to the Garden of Eden to see if the angel whv kept the gate would send him some of the fruits of the Tree of Life, that he might taste and live. The angel denied the request, but gave the son, of Adam three seeds. lace them,” said; the angel, ‘tin thy father’s mouth, and when they shall have grown into trees he} shall be freed from his sickness.” The son! returned with the seeds, but found that) Adam, his father, had already expired ;' but, taking the seeds, he placed them in! his father’s mouth and buried him. Then, } in process of time, there sprang up three! trees, and from them grew the wood from’ which the Oross was constructed.

Says theSdmmerside Agriculturist: — Not- withstanding the unpropitious weather of Thursday last, the crowd attending Mr. W. T. Hunt's sale was pretty large and fair prices were obtained, although the majority | of those present were representative farmers | who take a greater interest in heavy stock than in standard breeding. Taking this) into consideration, Mr. Hunt is to be con: | gratulated on the success of the sale. The) following is the list cf purchasers :—

Taery Avi Do It.—An amusing scene was witnessed in the Nova Sectia House of As- sembly one day last week. Mr. Frame, M. P. P., for Hants, came in with a box of fresh spruce gum, and tive minutes afterwards every member in the house had his jaws working for all they were worth. It looked funny and it was thought there would bea stoppage in legislative business, but somehow or other the sitting dragged through.

Ear_y Srrinc.—North Sydney, C. B., ad- vices of the 31st March, are as folluws :—The wind for the past two days has been from the southwest, which has nearly cleared the coast of drift ice. There has been no heavy ice on the coast this spring, except some light in the St. Lawrence. The harbors are all clear of ice, and the mines are working and ready for shipping. The brigt.

Both sugar and molasses are quoted excited, This market is very lightly supplied and prices have advanced here in sympathy with the West India markets. In consequence of the rapid and large advance in the prices of bect and raw cane gagar, the local refineries have marked up their prices 4 cents to-day on all refined sugars.—St, Johan Globe.
