Unlike their white brethren, however, their efforts are confined to the stereotyped joke of sending their victims with. messages either to imaginary individuals or: persenages away from home. Other antiquarians’ have ascribed the saturnalia to a Christian origin, deriving it. from.the.-sending to and fro f our Savior between Herod, Pilot and Caiaphas, as represented i in the old miracle plays. There seems “to be an'element of probability i in this, as the customary freak; and the one which first occurs to the joker’s mind, is to send bis victim on bootless and fruitless errands. Others, again, derive it from the old ‘‘Feast of the Ass,’’ which is celebrated by the Catholic Church on Twelfth Day. The discrepancy is explained by the sanggestion that the 24th of March being in one sense New octave. However the custom maay have been: derived, it is an undoubted fact that it prevails day it may--be: celebrated. ~How‘ever, the day of celebration is coincident in , nearly all the countries‘ where it is observed. in France the fooled man is called “*poisson d’avril,’’? meaning a silly fish, easily caught. In Scotland they are called “‘gowks,”’ (cuck00s), and the word is employed to express fools in general. The April-fool custom is there called “‘hunting .the .gowk.’? In Scotland, the period of joking is limited, from sunrisé until noon, and at that time’ it is supposed to cease, but this limitation is hardly recognized by the majority’ of the wags elsewhere, who continue their , pranks, till Phoebus has smiled’ farewell to Day. a oe Still *xying to Sell, The Tidings says: “The owners ofthe Union Turnpike road, running down through Rough and Ready, Penn ‘Valley, will sell their whole road for the sum of $5,000, and the Union Turnpike Company will subscribe $1,000 towards the payment of the same. This will, make the. cost: to. the county, or to the public, only $4,000: -It-would take ‘at least five times that amount of money to build such a road. It is unjust to not give the people of the western ‘part of the county a free road to travel on when they want to go or have to go to thé county seat.” Economy is Wealth.

Unlike their white brethren, however, their efforts are confined to the stereotyped joke of sending their victims with. messages either to imaginary individuals or: persenages away from home. Other antiquarians’ have ascribed the saturnalia to a Christian origin, deriving it. from.the.-sending to and fro f our Savior between Herod, Pilot and Caiaphas, as represented i in the old miracle plays. There seems “to be an'element of probability i in this, as the customary freak; and the one which first occurs to the joker’s mind, is to send bis victim on bootless and fruitless errands. Others, again, derive it from the old ‘‘Feast of the Ass,’’ which is celebrated by the Catholic Church on Twelfth Day. The discrepancy is explained by the sanggestion that the 24th of March being in one sense New octave. However the custom maay have been: derived, it is an undoubted fact that it prevails day it may--be: celebrated. ~How‘ever, the day of celebration is coincident in , nearly all the countries‘ where it is observed. in France the fooled man is called “*poisson d’avril,’’? meaning a silly fish, easily caught. In Scotland they are called “‘gowks,”’ (cuck00s), and the word is employed to express fools in general. The April-fool custom is there called “‘hunting .the .gowk.’? In Scotland, the period of joking is limited, from sunrisé until noon, and at that time’ it is supposed to cease, but this limitation is hardly recognized by the majority’ of the wags elsewhere, who continue their , pranks, till Phoebus has smiled’ farewell to Day. a oe Still *xying to Sell, The Tidings says: “The owners ofthe Union Turnpike road, running down through Rough and Ready, Penn ‘Valley, will sell their whole road for the sum of $5,000, and the Union Turnpike Company will subscribe $1,000 towards the payment of the same. This will, make the. cost: to. the county, or to the public, only $4,000: -It-would take ‘at least five

times that amount of money to build such a road. It is unjust to not give the people of the western ‘part of the county a free road to travel on when they want to go or have to go to thé county seat.” Economy is Wealth.
