THE MEXICA N HE VOL UTION. The revolution which has afflicted Mexico sitico our earliest recollection still continues. At latest accounts the government forces were getting tho best of the fight—if the affairs which take place in Mexico can be dignified with the title of fights. What they are fighting about we do not know, and it will probably bo forever undiscovered. We seriously think of writing to our old-time friend Minister Nelson for information.

The latest advices from there at the time wo write, the 15th inst., by way of Havana, 2511), state that the government forces, under General Rocha, ha\e driven the revolutionists out of the cities of Agnus, Calietes, Sagos and /ancateeas, nnd relieved the troops at Sin Luis Polos In a battle on the 2d Inst., General Rocha with t»,000 troops defeated the united revolutionary forces numbering i,000 men, killing and wounding 700, and capturing 7,000, and all their artillery except three guns.

Killing "nil wounding 700 and capturing 7,000 out ol 9,000 men, we should think would discourage any revolutionary leader, but the dispatch goes on to s:«y that the revolutionists retreated towards Fressnells and Xerose, being pursued by General Rocha.

The dispatch states that General Negrete, with 1,600 men, keeps the States of Puebla, Hidalgo and Thuscala in constant al irtn by his acts of vandalism, lie avoids "pen engagements, and wi.h his troops attacks defenseless towns liaciend is and r.iilroad trains. Ou the 3d he attacked a working party on Apir.ico railroad, robbing the paymaster, employes and laborers, and returned on the 4th nnd kidnapped John Quinn, tbe Superintendent. Oil thoHih and0:li he attacked several Pulqui trains, destroying the freight.

Martial law exists in twelve States. General Rsicha is accused of shooting a number of prisoners. (Jen. Rocha's victory, it is claimed, is a death blow to the prospects of the

for a long time. When the country has been sufficiently devastated, Uncle Sum will step in and take charge of it, give the people stable and just government and protection. Such is the manifest deetlny of Mexico.

&

LATKR.—Since the above was In type, news two days later, by way of Havana, says:

The government troops attacked and defeated, alter a fight of six hours, the insurgents in the State ol Tabasco. The revolution in Tab«co is considered over, all the leader* having fled. Porfenio Dias Is reported to have gone to New York, and other leaders of the innurreetion are aa.d to have go"e

General OorvelU Mftiftues .notber winK, moving toward Aalttllo. Gen. Alatone is pursuing bandits in the Sute Paebla. "Trains are protected by government soldiers on the Mexico and Vera Cms Railway.

STILL LATBR.—And now to upidr tbe forescoing comes news this morning that a courier arrived at Matamoras, with dates to the 27th, giving information of the re-occupation of Zicatecas by the revolutionists and probable capture of General Rocha, whose army had been dispersed by General Guerra.

FREE LOVE.

We have certainly falltn upon evil times. Recently, at Irving Hall, New York, Mrs. Francis Rose Mackinley delivered a lecture ou "Free Love its Science, Philosophy, and Poetry." It has been thought worthy of publication, and a copy is upon our table. To show the hideousness of some of the ideas advanced we make a few extracts

Free love to be an absolute fate, against which it Is Idle to contend "promlscuooaneas in the relation of the sexes, 18 an"archy under the resent social system— »the anarchy which is intermediate be"tween despotism and freedom jne

State now provides for for the education of children. The next step must be that it will take upon itself the control and support of them." "Mothei* and fathers must learn to love other peoples children as well as their own."

With such views as the above, free love, which is but another term for a common sexual ownership, would soon degenerate into general lust. We are happy to believe that there are Very few who will incline to endorse these ideas. It is generally believed that true love has a oneness of character, and this is its salvation. The pure husband and the virtuous wife seek and select each other, and marriage is the natural outgrowth of love. Some marriages, it is true, are unhappy, but it does not follow that the principle is destroyed. As we read along we come to prostitution. She says:

The woman who sells the joys of her body for money, is called a prostitute but wheie are tliey who do not prostitute their ^ouls for worldly recompense if they have but opportunisy The clergyman prostitutes himself for a larger benefice or a gr. ater popularity, and liis is the greatest of all the crime of prostitution, as blasphemes pulses OI LUC liuiutm auui .. tltUteS his brain for wealth, influence, and position,

Another dispatch of the aaroe date

The army increases, and despotic aota are committed by the authorities In many localities. The journals are filled with complaints. Agricultural industry la ruined.

»l^.. *!%.- mh/ilA

111» UlUlil IVi being always ieady to employ the whole power of Ills education and intellect in making the worse appear the better reason if he be but paid for it. The physician pros titutes science to money tampers with life and health, and adopts the meanest arts to court success and riches. The merchant prostitutes his soul for gain for how true are the words of the preacher "As mortar stlcneth between the stones, so does fraud between buyer arid seller." The most unblushing of all the prostitutes is the politician for his only thought is that, of party subservient to personal interest. The editor prostitutes his wits to the desire of selling his paper. He writes that he may extend the circulation of his journal, and iot that of truth. He Is as shameless a prostitute as the preacher or clergyman, for he sel lies.

In the female sex, the married prostitutes of aristocratic position are, in truth, as many and as bad as those who sell themselves at a cheaper rate. They prostitute themselves to dress and show, and gluttony and fashion, and 011 Sunday to hypocrisyworshiping the good Principle with specious forms, while the secret meaning of the.r prayers Is evil, thanking the god ot their own imaginations—the reflection of their own mean natures™that they have been chosen out and elected to these worldly lavors, while so many are consigned to a hopeless inheritance of ignorance and mis ery.

Some of the above strictures may be deserved, but they sound too much like the devil quoting scripture. Here follows Mrs. Mackinley's solution of the millenium. Refering to two recent cas«s of assassination, she says:

Had Fisk and Mansfield been tree lovers, they would have been both spared the tragedy and anguish that has been theirs, llie beautiful Josie would nave acknowledged the freedom of her lover to devote liis at tention and passion to another, as she had acknowledged his freedom to devote it toiler, or as she claimed and exeioi^ed a like freedom for herself. Had Watson been a free lover, a student of the laws of love, he would not have pursued Mis. Hyde with uncongenial attention, and impelled her to take Ills lite.

It seems impossible that in a public hall in a great city, such stuff should find hearers, or th it oncouragemeut should be given to such unblushing, shameless advocates of lust. Wheu the views of Frances Rose Mackinley obtain popularity, it will b9 time for that threatened comet to dash the world to atoms^ For then will 110 more be known the sanctities of home, the love of children, the devotion of pure wives or the attachment of true husbands. Out upon such teachers. Vile themselves they would drag down the world to their own filthiness. Impure in thought, it not in act, they would destroy all that makes lif endurable, and elevate the vilest men and women to the position which the world has always given to tbe good and pure.

If we were that editor we'd arm our selves with a tomahawk and revolving rifle, then we'd got scaling ladders and mount those battlements and make an attack on the jeering skeleton in force. We'd shoot him full of boles, and then scalp hiin. After which we'd hurl him Item the topmost heights of melancholy's lofty peak. If that wouldn't settle tbe skeleton, we'd get a balloon, fill it with bottles of kill-em-quick whisky, labeled "beet old rye," and then let the balloon rise to the peak. Tbe jeering skeleton would undoubtedly tackle the liquor, and then we'd laagh with fiendish glee to see him come toppling over the battlements of melancholy'a lolly peak Into tbe valley ot smash. The Western editor is imaginative, bat not practical, or he'd have pulverised that akeletoa ere thla.

EASTER SUNDAY.

To-morrow will be Easter. Tbe day is commemoration of the rising of Christ, and speaks to all in the language of the rising year. The announcement will not add to the knowledge of many people, for the day is always looked forward to with great interest, by Christians, especially of the Roman Catholic and Episcopal faith, who in all countries celebrate the anniversary with thoughtful prayer and grateful devotion, and with more or less of joyftil observance. Young America also looks forward to the time as a season for coloring and eating

eggg.

By the way, do all the readers

of Tbe Mail know why eggs are eaten on Easter more than on other days? And, in eating Easter eggs, how many of our readers imagine that they are carrying forward, from year to year, the memory of an ancient heathen feast, which has thus come down to us from the time of the Teutons of old? These old barbarians, who paid homage to their goddess Ostera in this way little fancied that a Christian people wpuld ever aid them in perpetuating a festival of eggs. The custom has become so old, and of such general ob servance, that many Christians of our dav, while eating their Easter eggs seem to regard the annual recurrence of this practice as a tribute rather to ornithology than to religious belief.

Because, at Easter, eggs seem more plentiful than at other times, it does not follow that the least was designed as an expression of grateful apprecia tion of this peculiar bounty which nature affords to us at this time.

Appropos to the subject, we append the following beautiful bit of poetry from the pen of Fitz James O'Brien:

THE LEGEND OF EASTER EGO. Dearest papa," says my boy to me, As he merrily climbs on his fathers knee,

Why are these eggs that you see me hold, Colored so finely with blue and gold And what is the beautiful bird that lays Such beautiful eggson Easter days?

You have heard, my boy, of the Man who died, Crowned with keen thorns and crueraed And how Joseph, the wealthy—whom God reward— Cared for the corpse of his martyred Lord, And piously tombed it within the rock And closed the gate with a mighty block.

of

Now close by the tomb a fair tree grew With pendulous leaves and blossoms blue, And deep in the green tree's shadowy breast A beautiful singing bird sat 011 her nest, Which was bordered with mosses like malachite, And held four eggs of an ivory white.

Now when the bird from lier dim recess Beheld the Lord in his burial dress, And looked on the Heavenly face so pale, And the dear feet pierced with the cruel nail, Her heart nigh broke with a sudden And out of the deptli of her sorrow sang.

All night long till the morn was up She sat and sang In her moss-wreathed cup, A song of sorrow as wild and shrill As the homeless wind wheu it roams the hill, So full of tears, so loud and long, That the grief of the world seemed turned to a song.

But soon there came through the weeping night, A glimmering angel cl *thed in white

A

Summirl„«a„g«lol

Where the Lord of the heavens aud earth

And Christ arose In the cavern's gloom And in living luster came from the tomb.

Now the bird that sat in the heart of the tree, Beheld the celestial mystery,

When the glittering white robed angel heard The sorrowing «ong of that-grieving bird, And heard the following chant ot mirth, That hailed Christ risen from the earth, He said 'Hweet bird be forever blest Tnyself, thy eggs, and thy moss-wreathed nest.'

And ever my child, since that blessed night, Where death bowed down to the Lord ol

The egjpfof that sweet bird changed tlieif 'u,e. ,, And are torn with red, and gold and blue Reminding mankind 1 1 their simple ^ay Of the holy 111 irvel ol Eastnr-day.

STAMPING COUNTERFEIT MONEY. A bill is pending in Congress to compel the officers of National banks to stamp counterfeit notes whenever such are presented. We think this course will do much to check the business of counterfeiting. Nobody destroys such, but th*y are carefully laid aside or thrown with the genuine to get into the wbrld again. If the government is to run the banks, and control the making of bank notes and green-backs, aud cannot nnke such proof against successtul counterfeiting, it should at least endeavor to destroy the spurious issue as early as possible alter they are put into circulation. Counterfeit bank notes were once far more plenty than now and many were hard to be distinguished from the genuine. They were circulated by respectable citizens, who did it honestly and without knowing whattbey were doing. We remembers story of one of our best citizens, now passed to a land where there are no counterfeits. He was suddenly called from home, snd, visiting his counting room in baste, songbt for money in tbe sate. Finding a package of bank notes he seised it snd started on bis journey. Having been absent several days snd returned, Inqriry waa made of him by hla bookkeeper If he knew what had become of a package of counterfeit money In tbe safe He replied that he took a package of bank notes, but supposed the notes were genuine. He bad made all hla disbursement* for expenses In his abeenae from thla package, and only In a single instance did he have a hill refused. He waa greatly mortified at tbe diaoovery that he had been traveling abont the country on counterfeit currency, hat It waa too late to correct tbe mlacbief.

APRIL FOOL t»

Monday will be the Fir*t of April, a day celebrated by foola making tools of other people. Practical jokes are very pleasant, or at least amusing sometimes, bat the majority of thoee perpetrated on the First of April, are insufferably silly, and our readers will do well to look out if they want to retain their good humor throughout the day. Our advice is not to pick up small parcels or pocket books, make no firantic grabs at any valuable, to^ which a thread may be attached, and don't kick any plug hats off the sidewalk. Don't be too ready to look at things, when some one points them out, and above all don't be too inquisitive or you will surely get sold.

The custom of inventing all sorts of "sells," and sending people on all sorts of ridiculous errands, then laughing at them lor their pains, is common in all countries, and dates back to a verv earlv peiiod. Various accounts are given of its origin. Oriental scholars say that it is derived from the huli feast, among the Hindoos, where similar custom prevails. Here is a bit ot poetry well suited to the occa sion:

All have played the fool at times Fools we have in prose and rhymes, Fools now in and out of place, I- -f Fools once wise, now in discrace, Fools there are at bench and par, Faols at cent-per-cent and bar Fools wh preach and fools who pray Meet you on the street each day. w, Hvpocrltic .ools we see f. J* Hug themselves complacently, Fawning, smirking, arrant knaves, Who are worse than galley slaves. Fools who over-reach their neighbors, And get hung for all their labors. Pools who beg and fools who borrow, Fools who live on woe and sorrow. Fools who laugh and fools who cry, Fools who are a living lie: J-l Natural tools and fools of fashion, Fools oi birth and fools of passion, -r Fools there are ot every trade, sir, Fools of every rank and grade, sir,

uuw ui c»ti Fools there be who ape their bettters Fools in love and fools in letter*. Fool8 who tdit fogy papersGreater fools than are street scrapers^ Fools in war and wine and women, Land-lubber fools and fools of seaman, Fools In hoops and paint ind flounces, Whom the man of sense denounces. Fools in -'plugs" and tight leg breeches, Drunken fools who fall in ditches. Legal tools—great "common-taters Who are everlasting praters. Temperance fools in drink and meat, Who deem it wrong to drink or eat. Fools ib Council, whom the masses Know to be a set of asses. Brainless fools, (and what is funny) Who are worshipped for their money. Traveled fools and fools at home Who are far too wise to roam. But why this foolish scheme prolong The fool who reads my silly song Will deem himself a witty elf— The writer but a fool himself.

A CLERGYMAN recently said he was once engaged to preach to his Sunday School, but after the little people were all arranged bolore him in order, ho told them that some of them might be weary and wanted to go before he had finished, so he would prefer to have any who fancied they would like to go, to do so now, when no one would be disturbed. For a moment all sat still, when one little fellow took up his hat and went down the aisle. Another and another followed, until not a child was left. It is to be presumed that the

allow his remarks to be taken too literacy, or alsb took some trouble to establish a reputation among the young folks for being interesting.

It is a little remarkable in this connection how few people do know how to interest children. A few truisms, some disjointed religious anecdotes, and a little light conversational preaching, make up the speeches of ninotcnthsof the sermons preached to them.

A FIELD FOR WOMAN.—In these sensational days when the avant couriers of the fair sex are persistent and vocsil for their "rights,"theofferof anew Held for the exercise of their peculiar talents must be considered desirable. Here is one. Why nviy not females become auctioneers. Certainly such a one would draw full houses, and the magnetism of a woman's well modulated voice would dr iw tbe dollars from tbe bidders. Women are tonguey, voluble and of ready wit. They can readily commit their parts to make articles put up go oir rapidly. They are good judges of all sorts ol fabri -s, which fact would give them no little advantage, and every ono mint admit that tbe ''going-going, third and last call," would sound as well from them as from the sterner sex. A wide-awake woman as an auctioneer would be a success, first from the novelty of the affair and subsequently from her peculiar apitude for convincing talk. Ladies, take out your licenses and begin.

LAZY people ought to IVel obliged to Dr. ill, who condemns rising as soon we awaken, very strongly. He believes in indulging in the luxury of awaking deliberately. This is so delightful that if we can all be convinced that It is equally wholesome, breakfast may be later, but we will get a little more pleasure out of our days.
