The name of Black Friday was ap- plied in England to December 6, 1745, when the news reached London that the Pretender to the throne had ar- rived at Derby and the safety of the | crown of King George was regarded as seriously threatened, albeit the re volution was speedily brought to an end. In the fipancial history of England, May 11, 1866, is desig- nated as Black Friday, as on that day began a disastrous financial panic, which was brought about by the failure of the firm of Overend, |. Gurney & Co., in Londen, who were afterward tried and acquitted of con- spiracy to defraud. In ecclesiastical his! or Western ce signated Good Friday as Black Fui- day, as on that day all elerical vest ments and altar draperies are strictly of black. The term black-letter days is applied to minor helidays and saints' days, whose names appear on calendars in black letters instead of red letters, as do the high days and holy days. In the English calendar, certain black letter days have been retained because. they mark civil dates of importance, such as Hilary term and Martinmas summer, or be- cause they commemorate some public benefactor. J The name Black Menday is given in English history to Easter Monday, April 14, 1360, when Edward III. lay with his host before the city of Paris and the weather was so stormy and bitter cold that many men died as they sat on their horses. The term was. afterward extended to include all Easter Mondays, and is so used by Shakespeare in. "The Merchant of Venice," in the line, "Then it was not for nothing that my nose fell a-bleeding on Black Monday last." Dickens refers to the schoolboy cus- tom of regarding the day for return- ing to school after the long vacation as Black Monday, and an article in "Household Words" mentions "'the due observance of ancient insti- tution of Black Monday," the eve of which was kept on the Saturday night when the school box was packed. In Irish history the term Black Mon- number of English 'were slain in a number of English were glain ina village near Dublin in 1209. Australia has a Black Thursday in its history, the name beipg given in the colony of Victoria to Thursday, February 6, 1851, when the most terri- ble bush fire known in the histary of the colony raged over an immense ex- tent of territory and the heat was felt far out at sea and birds overcome by it fell on the decks of toasting ves- sels. The loss caused by the confla- gration was, exceedingly great. Black Saturday was the name given in Scotland to August 4, 1621, when the Parliament, sitting.in Edinburgh, ratified certain articlés introducing Church of England Rfactices in the churches of Beotland which were op- posed to the religious convictions of the Bcotch Presbyterians. The vio- lent thunderstorm which oecurred ut the time, with mueh dightning and great darkness, was held to be a manifest token of thedispleasure of Heaven. 9 3 Sir Walter Scott in"gne' of his no- vels wrote: "She was'to' remind a neighbor of some paMicular which she was to reeall to: Kis mémory by the token that Thomas Reid and he had set out together to go to the battle which took place en the Black Saturday." So far as the records show, no other day of the week has had the adjeo- tive black attached to'it. Red-letter days are any lucky, foPbanate or aus- picions days, and are*¥o called be- cause in the older liturgical works the greater holy days are designated by red letters. Dickens makes one of his characters in "Bleak House" say: "It is the old girl's birthday. and that is the greatest holiday and reddest letter day in Mr. Bagnet's calendar." Charles Lamb. in his "Oxford in the "Vacation." writes "The red-letter days now become, to all intents and purposes, dead-letter days." the Roman A Judicial Outrage. ; Mr. E. G. Jellicoe, Dinizulu's Eng- lish counsel, has suddenly thrown up his case and left South Africa The excitement cansed by his depar- ture is increased by the publication of a letter from Mr. Jellicoe to the governor, Sir M. Nathan, containing extraordinary and sensational charges. Mr. Jellicoe alleges that the Govern- ment is! making a political affair of Dinizulu's trial, that witnesses were forced under martial law to make statements against Dinizulu, and were refused an opportunity of withdraw. ing them, and that the proceedin were purposely arranged with the ip ject of effecting Dinizulu's ruin. Mr. Jellicoe declares that he possesses evi- dence that unresisting natives were shot under martial law, that hundreds of Dinizulu's witnesses were arrested and thrown into prison, and their whereabouts concealed, and that all facilities were refused Dinizulu 'for seeing his legal advisers. He describes the proceedi as a "judicial outrage" and a "diaries to a British colony," dec! that the Natal press. s a "palladium of licentiousness," and the whole col- i the natives for the schemes of | tissues, { abscess reach the of avery stage. were dismissed whole tions for party bosses and ward heol ors, deeds, ernment an elegant, truthiul and 11, 1908, _-- . -- _-- SURGEON'S KNIFE IS NEEDED.
