benate Chamber, Harrisburg,

Hox. E. 'B. HAwir.Y :—.My Dear Sir
the Montrose Republican (of March sth and
12th), a paper published in your county, l l no
tice that a correspondent, signing himself "
assumes to pass strictures upon you, under the
guise of a regular Harrisburg correspondent.
In defense of all regular correspondents for the
press here, I desire to say- to you and through '
you to the people you represent, that there is
none of the regular correspondents or any. who
are responsible, that have ever written one
syllable for the Montrose Republican. We
should feel ,ourselves misrepresented as live
newspaper men ? , to be understood as putting
forth what purported to be "Latest news from
the State Capital," which transpired three
weeks before it, appeared bi that paper, and es
pecially so after the same had been circulated
in that "slow coach" the Legislative Record.—
Undoubtedly the animus of the compliment you
received in the Republwan came from some
•
jealous friend you have at home. The record
which you have made at Harrisburg is open
to all who desire to: read it and no' amount of
misrepresentation can erase -or change it for
the better or worse.
Very Respectfully Yours,
We *did not intend to giVe publicity to the .
above but for the reason' that some tof our par
ticular friends So desire it. We have never re
ceived fair treatment from the opposite press, of
this coanty, and we had no reason to expect it
now. So far as anything that has appeared,
since E. B. Hawley has been in the Legislature,
it has given him but little concern, for he has
had the consciousness that ' he. could hot be
more base:y misrepresented in the future, than
;
he has been in the past, and, as eretofore,l‘ll
such will only ieact to the disco fiture of his
traducers.. si
GOOD FRIDAY. • •
Last Friday was Good Friday, the anniver
sary of the crucifixion. In England and in
most countries in Europe, it is a legal holiday.
In the United • States it Is usually made so by
the Governors of States proclaiming' , 'it a fast
The N. Y. World .says ; It has had various
names—" Long Friday," trom its long religious
services and its rigorous fasting ; "Holy Fri
day," "Stiller Freitag" by the Germans, be
cause the bells and organs are silent on that
day, and sometimes vehar-Freitag , " from an
old word meaning penitence. The Greeks and
others in the East call it "the sorr9wful pasch."
In the days of the first Christian emperors all
but the worst criminals were released on this
day and exiles recalled. Before the Reforma ;
tion In England several religious ceremonies
were performed on this day. Among others
was one in which a figure ot Christ was mount
ed on a crucifix and borne round the altar by
two priests who chanted doleful chants. Then
laying the figure on the ground they kissed its
hands and' feet with piteous sighs and tears, the
other, priests present doing the like. Then
came the people , to worship the assumedly
dead Savior, each bringing some littlf;gift,which
the.priests afterwards collected. Another cere
mony was that of blessing the rings by the
King. A-crucifix was laid on a cushion and a
carpet before it. The King crept along the'
carpet as a token of his humility and blessed a
number of rings in a silver basin. Then the
Queen and ha ladies' id the Same. These rings
were supposed to be a certain cure for the
cramp, just as the touch of the King's hand
was 'supposed to Cure a disease called "the
K'ing's evil." In 1518 Lord Berners, the transla
tor of Froissart," wrote to Cardmal Wolsey
asking him to reserve 151: few "cramp-rings : tor
him." The custom of baking bread on 'Good
Friday is of old origin. It used to be. supposed
that bread so baked was - a specise for any ail
ment, but particularly ..for diarihma when
broken into small pieces and soaked lfrandy
and the superstition Las remained, in a much
moderated form in the custom of baking hot
crossbuns. .In. London on Good Friday may
be heard the 'cry from street venders
One a penny buns, '
• Two a penny buns.
One a penny, two a penny,
. Hot cross buns.
One ingenious writer has connected hot cross
buns with the pagan - custom of worshipping
the Queen of Heaven with cakes, a custom
Prevalent in' ancient Mexico, 'China and other
places In Rome the services on Good Friday
are particularly solaan. It is strict fast-day.
The relics of the Passion are shown at the
basilica of the Empress Helena, Santa Croce in
Gerusalemine. At 9.=3o`i. ac. there is a Papal
,mass at StVeter's, with the chants and chorus
of - Avila ; and the. Procurer General of the
•
Conventual Minors preaChes a sermon. Then
folloWs the great service of the Adoration of
the cross, during which are chanted the cele
brated Impropertt of ,Palestrina. The Pope
_ ,
first 'adores the cross ;. after hint the . Oardinals
undthe rest - of the clergy in order. The true
•
save his "prpperty
cross is exposed in a superb reliquary of rock
crystal mounted , in silver gilt, chiselled by
Cellini. At several of the Roman chnrches are
celebrated the Tre Ore, or "Three H mrs of the
Agony of , the Saviour," in a serraop interrupt
ed with chants. The office ot the Tenebrai is
celebrated at St. Peter's at 3. 33 F. at.
the first lamentation being by Al.le.gri. . At 4
r. a sermon is delivered in the vast area of
the Coliseum !with the !via Con 7
seryatory-ot the A.rea.clians the day ekises with
celebrations in pro4e and verse of -the passion
and death of our Lord.
Nevertheless; public offict:s, and ,places of
business are dent open.. At Monaco—now so
celebrated for its - gaming table, but once a place
of much political importance—it was the cus
tom to perform a mystery pray on 'GoOd Friday
similar,to those which in our day are some-
times performed in Germany. In these the
several scenes of the trial and crucifixion of.
Christ were represented. it was played by the
members of a bAtherhood, the part of the ,
Christ being taken ' by several persons—one
who drank the vinegar, another who was
scourged, and .another who borq the cross: -
Each was represented by an old man with
white' hair and , beard clothed in scarlet robes,
a crown of, thorns, ar4 the breast painted with
vermillion to imitatedrops of blood. The four
doctors of the law ware black robes and.advo
eates' caps, and troratime to time consulted to
gether over, a large sok, and by their gestrireS,
showed that the teit of the iaw was decisive,
and that there was no option but to condemn
Jesus. Pontius Hite, was near them, and
a Roman prefect •'dressed as a judge of the
Assize Court. Behire. this personage
_a slave
walked, carrying a silver ewer, - , which he pre
sented to the Governor, who pronounced the
words, "I wash my hands of it." Sing Herod
was also present.
,The "Colonel of Pontius,
Pilate's army' was represented, as was Peter
carrying the cock that crowed thrice, and Judas
whose part was to throw himself into his mas
ter's arms and kis4 him. In defiance of all
chronological
,propiety, Adam and Eve were
there, dressed in the costom of. Louis XV., and
eating apples whichthelpic.ked from an orange
tree. All the reveal' scenes were presented
with like correctness. In the archiepscopal
city of Treves the cathedral professes to possess
the coat of Christ Pr which lots were cast. It
is 'without Seam oi erabloidery, and it will be
remembered that is exhibition in 1844, with
the great pilgrimfge of that year, led to the
movement of the ."Young Catholics," headed
by Johannei Ru*. In Southern Italy there
are Lenten processhns of penitents, who wear a
long white gown covering the body, and a
high pointed hood
- over the head. Holes are
cut In this for the aght, but none for breathing.
A crown of thorn! is placed on this and .a rope
round the peniteres. neck, and in this guise
they walk throu g h, the city. In the present
day, Good Pride services often side by side
with.the entertaifments provided - for those of
the humbler classy who make this day a holi
day. In London the yo'uthful cockney whose
resources permit, tlights to make this a day
for fishing, and the ryatal Palace at Sydenliam
is always crowded on this day, for which a
grand sacred cotrek, is usually arranged. '
