Much interest, is felt in the aims and objects of the National Association of Manufacturers, which not long* ago itaet for a business conference. The purposes of this convention are as follows: The fostering, extending and perfecting of home manufactures, and the establish ing of new markets in foreign ports; the simplification of trade relations between the United States and foreign countries; the subsidizing of United States ships, and the withdrawal, as far as may be, of subsidies from foreign .vessels; the importance of the Nicara gua canal, and the extension and im provement of natural and artificial ,waterways; also the completion of eon- i necting channels between the great lakes, the Mississippi valley and the At lantic seaboard. This association is but n year old, but includes in its member ship some of the best-known and most influential names in the United States. All of the manufacturing and commer cial interests of the country are to le carefully looked after and encouraged, and reciprocity treaties are to be estab lished with countries where business connections give promise of satisfac tory results. It is the intention of the association to organize branches in every state in the union, on a sort of federative plan. There is an executive committee and various subcommittees, composed of men able and willing to understand and carry out whatever may seem to the united body to be. to the best interests of the land. That good will come of this, no one who realizes the importance of our manu facturing und commercial relations can doubt. AMONG men of prominence whoso deaths have been recently recorded are (Jen.

It is the day perhaps nearest to the hearts of those who hold the Christian faith. It is the an niversary of the day upon which the gentle crucified Jew, Jesus, whom we accept as the Son of God, came forth alive again from a coflin made from a space hewed in a rock and blocked by a great stone. That rising was in the sequence of events which made Christian the world of to-day. That rising was what is making strong the course of the con trolling mass among the creatures who flit about upon this particular planetary crust, and who have a be lief in their own immortality. Hail the more potent portion of Immunity not accepted Christ as risen, there would have been some other belief, some other hope and grasping for after death welfare among the inhabitants of this one among the millions and bil lions of planets revolving in all space. The risiug completed the Christian story. The Son had gone to the Father as an emissary, forever pleading in behalf of the creature we call man, Himself a man, lie went back to Heaven to be ever our Ambassador. And so it. is that throughout the Christian world it is the sweetest of all hopeful days, this anniversary of that day when Christ ascended to Ilis own again. What matters it that learned skeptics say that Carter is but the adaptation to Christian use of iui ancient holiday in glorification over life and spring and the birth of all things. It matters not what the beliefs or legends were be fore, since we accept the story of the Child of Bethlehem, and stake our fu ture upon the promise of the man grown who died for us. The heathen legends of the early man are but as nothing, whether the Son of the Ruler of the Universe came to us nearly 2,000 years ago or yesterday. We accept the belief and we are happy in Easter day. It is wonderful and very sweet, the thought, of that morning when the gentle, murdered Man, who was both Man and God. felt from the Father the quickening pulse and knew that llis awful trial was over and that the world had been redeemed. It was of all mornings the most beau tiful, if we may judge from the weak human story, or if wo judge from our own conception of what it must have been. The gloom of night was dissi pating, the lighter haze of morn was ap parent upon the far distant Judean hills, though there was darkness in the valley still. But in an instant, just as the morn ing' broke, all changed. There was a rustling of wings, the wings of angels, in the semi -darkness; the huge stone which filled the entrance of that cavern tomb rolled away as lightly .'is if it were something a wind might lift. There was a sudden light about the place and, at the same moment, above the far eastern hills, the sun, earth's light and one of God's ownings, flung forth a million brilliant banners. It was day. And, just as day came, went from earth the Son who is pleading for us with the Father. It is very sweet end wonderful, the tory of this Easter day, one of the greatest observed in our religion. It is he day recognized as full of all hope ind promise. It is beautiful in the manner of its observance, with its flow ers and its ringing anthems and with its atmosphere of the springtime and of faith and courage. It is blessed, this Faster day. (IOW EASTEII DAY IS FfXEI). It has been over 1,500 years since the ule was adopted which makes Easter he "first Sunday after tlie lirst full noon after I.he sun crosses the line.'' 'y this arrangement of things, Easter nay come as early as March 22, or as ate as April 25, but must forever oscil ate between the dates mentioned. The word "Faster" is tuid to be from lie German "oster," (rising), and is lie Christian passover or festival of the esurreetion of (I l ist. The English mme for the day is probably derived roni that of the old Teutonic goddess )sten,whose festival occurred at about lie same time as our celebration of faster. The proper time for cclebrat ng the festival was a theme which gave | ise to much heated discussion among ■arly Christians. The question wai ully considered and finally settled at he council of Nice, 225 A. D., by adopt* ng the rule which makes it fall upon lie lirst Sunday after the first full noon occurring after March 21. During he present century Easter has fallen rom one to four times on every date be wci'ii March 22 and April 25, except j \lnreh 24, which has been skipped eu irely. 5 When raster Eggs Meant Marriage.

PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES. \Wv •** v^!-sj*s3gja A PROMINENT DEMOCRAT. A PROMINENT REPUBLICAN. SLAVES INSURED IN LOTS. A GUinpoe of tjie Old-Time Way of Pro tection from I, OHM in Human Property. The Picayune was lately shown by a prominent insurance agent a life pol icy, which, in the light of the present methods of insuring, is a curiosity in more ways than one. It was sent here by a Memphis agent, headed "Negro Policy," numbered 305, issued by the Phoenix Insurance com pany of St. Louis, dated in that city the 10th of March, 1851, and signed by John 11. Camden, president, and W. 11. Vritch urtt, secretary. The premium paid was $85.30, and the risk was for SB,OOO for three months Irom noon of March 4, 1851, to noon of June 4, 1851, on 10 slaves, us follows: Tom, Frank, Sophie, Eviline, Jordan, Daniel, Ann, llester, Henry, Lew, Ze lina, Ellen, Nelson, Mury, Charlotte and Ann, in favor of Bolton, Dickins & Co., of Memphis, Teun., being at the late of SSOO on the life of each one who might die d uring the continuance of pol icy. The restrictions in the document read that the said slaves "shall have only the privilege of traveling in the usual conveyances on land, rivers, lakes, or :nland seas, and of residing in any of the states and territories of this union, or the British provinces of North Amer ica, north of 30 degrees north latitude and 20 degrees west longitude from Washington city, except that from the 15tli of July to the Ist day of November, I in each and every year, it shall not be lawful for the insured to visit or re side south of 34 degrees north latitude, and 20 degrees west longitude from Washington city, or enter into the mil itary or naval service whatever (the militia now in actual service excepted) without such permission previously obtained and indorsed on this policy, or in case they shall die in oortsequence of a duel or by the hands of justice, or in the known violation of any law of this state or of the United States, or of the said provinces, or if the said slaves shall be engaged in any capac ity on a steamboat, raft or vessel of any description, without the permis sion of said company previously ob tained and indorsed on this policy, or shall run away or be kndnaped; then and in all such cases the said company shall not be liable for the payment of the said sum insured or any part there of, and this policy, so far as relates to such payment, shall be entirely void. This policy shall be void if assigned without the consent of the company." There was a loss sustained under this policy, as the following indorsement will show: "Received of the Phoenix Insurance company $498.08 in full, in payment of negro girl, Charlotte, insured under tliis policy, No. 365, less 47 days* in terest.

A Noted Writer Tells of the Forms ol Life Found There. I read the other day something that I thought would interest so great a sea bather as yourself. You know that the fishes that we see and catch, go only n certain way down into the sen. Below a certain depth there is no life at all. The water is as empty as the air is above u certain height. Even the shells of dead fishes that come down there ore crushed into nothing by the huge weight of the . water. Lower still, in the places where the sea is profoundly deep, it appears that life begins again. People fish up 111 dredging buckets loose rags and tat ters of creatures that hang together ail l ight down there with the great weight holding them in one, but come all to pieces as they are hauled up. Just what they look like, just what they do or feed upon, we shall never find out. Only that we have some flimsy fellow creatures down in the very bottom of the deep seas, and cannot get them up | except in tatters. It must be pretty dark where they live, and there are no plants or weeds and no fish come down there, or drowned sailors either, from the upper parts, be cause these are all mashed to pieces by the great weight long before they get FO far, or else come to a place where perhaps they float. But 1 daresay a cannon sometimes comes careering sol emnly down, and circling about like a dead leaf or thistledown; and then the ragged fellows go and play about the cannons and tell themselves all kinds of stories about the fish higher up and their iron houses and perhaps go inside and sleep, and perhaps dream of it all like their betters. Of course you know a cannon down there would be quite light. Even in shallow water, where men go down with a diving-dress, they grow so light I that they have to hang weights about their necks, and have their boots load ed with 20 pounds of lead—as 1 know to my sorrow. And with all this, and the helmet, which is heavy enough of itself to anyone up here in the tliin air, tihcy are carried about like gossa mers, and have to take every kind of care not to bo upset and stood upon their heads. I went down once in tlio dress, and speak from experience. But if we could get down for a moment near where the fishes are, we should be in a tight place. Suppose the water not to crush us (which it would), wo should pitch about in every kind of di rection; every step we took would carry us as far as if we had seven-leaguo boots; und we should keep flying head over heels, and top over bottom, like the liveliest clowns in the world.— Ilobert Louis Stevenson, in St. Nicholas.

SMITH WON ON POINTS. Husband, However, l'ut Up a Game Fiylit Against the American. London, March 31.—A large crowd gathered at the National Sporting club last night to witness the fight be tween "Mysterious" Billy Smith of Boston and Bill Husband. The latter tipped the scales at 148 pounds, while Smith was a pound lighter. The fight was eight rounds for a prize of £IOO. The betting was seven to two on Smith. The American opened the first round in a lively manner, but Husband was not a bit flurried and the round ended with honors even. In the second round Smith landed several heavy blows on Husband's ribs. Neither man had any advantage in the third round. In the fourth round Smith got in a heavy blow on Husband's head that knocked him dizzy, but he strug gled on gamely through the succeeding rounds. At the end of the eighth round Smith was declared the winner on points. The next event was a twenty round match between Tom Tracy and Tom Williams, both Australians. Tracy weighed 144 and Williams 140. The fight was speedily finished, Tracy's right landing on his opponent's jaw at the end of the first round, knocking him out. Lasters' Strike at Auburn.
