The New Year Of the Jews.

a Jewish correspondent of the Buffalo
Rough Notes, explains this festival as follows: .
The frs first day Of Iishri, October, is the new
ton, is this festival appointed for the blowing
Of the trumpet [3, M. %, "a, I in Jerusalem. the
priests blow the trumpet on that day from early
in the morning till the setting of the sun. After
the destruction of the temple, this was observed
also in other cities in Palestine After the
dispersion, they introduced the horn instead Of
the trumpet.
The Rabbits are of the opinion that the first
day Of creation was the first of Tishri.
The Lord of the Universe Judges the whole
world on this day, both the dead and the living
The Jews congregate therefore in the syna.
gogues to pray for forgiveness Of sins, long life
and prosperity. They have particular prayers
to that effect some of which are very beautiful.
approaching almost to a pure Biblical compo-
sition. The Jews, on those days, congregate
in the synagogues very early in the morning,
and remain there to noon time, when they re.
turn home to enjoy sumptuous meal, and re-
turn again to the house of prayer, where they
continue for the first two DAYS of the month
After the evening prayer on the eve Of the first
holy day, every jew says to his neiphbor and
friend in the Hebrew language, "May your life
be written lin the book Of life) to a prosperous
and happy year" to which, the other replies.
I" You also" According to the Rabbs, every
jew should eat on the eve Of the first holy day
the following vegetables: Cabbages, in Hebrew
ROB, which signifies Also "much," whereby the
Jew says: May it please God, that I shall
have much profit in business this year. The
second is garlick, in Hebrew Kraii, that is. to
cut asunder; whereby the jew says: "May It
please God to cut the enemies ofIsrael asunder.n
The third is pumpkin, Kara, Ito tear,n and
accompanied with the words, May it please
God to tear Ito destroy the evil Judgment
which deserve for my sins committed IN the
past year"
The blowing of the horn in the synagogue
should arouse the Jews from their sins, and re.
mind of the giving of the law on Mount Sinai.
They should also entertain the hope of return.
ing to Palestine and the restoration of their ma.
tional independence; aud finally, they should
trust that the dead will rise again. Whilst the
blowing of the horn is going on in the syna-
gogue, no one is allowed to speak, or even to
whisper, cough, or spit, and every one should
endcayor to hear the sound distinctly. The
prayer before this performance should be re-.
cited with fervor, fear, and trembling, and in
an humble attitude--the head bowed down. and
the eyes closed.

SeA- The following, translated from the last
Paris Constitutional, gives an account of re-
cent attempt by Russian prince to assassinate
the distinguished generalin-chief of the Turk
ish armies:
Prince Gortschakoff had resolved to remove
0mer Pacha, and for this purpose he or his
emissaries had tried to poison that gallant gene.
raj, who has already done so much towards the
regeneration of Turkey. 1t appears that a
European physician, who arrived some months
back at Constantinople, obtained, ~. dint of
solicitation, the direction of the military hosp-
tai of Schumla. 1t seems that Omer Pacha
soon perceived that this person kept up mystic
rious relations with Russian spies, and in con-
sequence he kept on his guard. Soon after,
being warned that there was an intention to
poison him, he feigned to be indisposed, and
sent for the medical man in question to attend
him. This person, after examining the patient,
went out TO prepare calming potion, which,
on his return, he presented to 0mer Pacha to
drink. The general-in-chief Of the Turkish
army requested the physician to taste it first
himself, and as the other refused to do SO, he
forced him to drink the whole of it in his pre-
sence. Seeing that the physician then wanted
10 hurry out, he forced him 10 remain in the
tent in order that he might Judge of the effect
of the potion. At the end Of some hours the
physician died from the poison,

OUR BOOK TABLE.

The editors of daily paper have but little
opportunity to make themselves thoroughly ac-
quainted with the numerous publications the
day. Such are the demands on their time, that
they are fortunate in being able to snatch q
moment to glance through them. Several
pamphlets have been lying on our table for
some days, to which we desired to give a pa
tent hour, in order to be enabled to speak of
them as they deserve; up to this time, how
ever, we have been denied what we so much
desired.
One Of these publications is entitled Tract
on Government from the pen of James W.
Walker, esq. The Charleston Mercury thus
introduces to its readers critical notice of the
work:

days since, from its author, respected and tai
ented fellow-citizen, James W. Walker esq., and
have since given to that careful perusa TO which
his wel-earned reputation entities the productions
Of his PEN
1t comedies to the author great ability, but
dissents from many Of his opinions and posi-
tons as tending to consolidation-as repugnant
to States rights and the "immortal indications
of Jefferson and Calhoun
From Mr.. Edmund Rufin, the great Virginia
agriculturist, we have been favored with seve.
raj of his admirable essays. We have laid
them aside for future reference and use.

IMPORTANT TELEGRAPHIc CASE DECIDED
LIBERALIZATION recently decided in Philadelphia,

The SHOW OF HORSES at Springfield has
been very successful. A large and fine display
of animals has been made, and great con
course Of spectators has been assembled, Thu
correspondent of the Boston Journal says:
Friday Morning, A. M.-The heavens Ger
tainly smile propitiously on this exhibition, fo
the third and most important day has broke
with every indication of beautiful weather. Tht
sun is coming up, people are pouring into
town on foot, in carriages, and by the early
trains, and people who did not 60 to bed at al
last night, are turning up from every chair
sofa, and resting place in town. The Grove
Yesterday was past all calculation, and it viii
be far surpassed to-day
The exercises will be much more exciting
to-day than on any of the three previous days
In fact, to-day is the exhibition, as the proceed
ing operations have been merely preliminary
At half past eight race against time will take
place, on the following terms: A Vermont
horse, owned in this vicinity, if able TO tro,
around the track twice in three minutes-just
dollars for his horse; if he fails, the owner for
feits FIVE dollars to the society.
The grand scene Of all takes place this morn.
ing at nine o'clock, being the grand ent,ee and
procession Of all the horses. The combined
circuses in christendom could not present q
scene that would compare with it.
The sharpers are on hand, and an accom-
plished and shrewd game was played on Mr.
Chester Osborn, of Springfield. He was or
the grounds when he found himself in the vi
ciinity OF Two niccn who were apparently driving
horse trade. One insisted that his "old man
would be terribly offended if he should sell hi,
horses to the other Mr.. Osborn became inter
ested, and approached the pair, when the as
sumed horse owner said he would sell his horse,
to Mr.. Osborn, and Mr. Osborn might sell then
to the other, and then his conscience would b
clear. Finally, Mr.. Osborn made trade fo
S455, and the buying man counted out tn,
money, which the other would not take, all OF
account Of the cold man." Mr.. Osborn wa
then called upon to pay the money, and take il
return the buyers money, ne being promised
$40 for the job. But he had no money, and
with the men, came down street to borrow it
He succeeded in getting $500 of Smith 4 Cut
Ter, and this he paid over to his employer, WHIT
wanted he should 60 up street Ito have thu
matter settled, the other scoundtel remaining
behind. After going back as far as lockwood
store, Mr.. Osborn was requested TO 60 bacl
az. tell the other man to come along. HI
went back, and found the man missing, o
course; and when he returned, ~. a.s other frient
had gone, and with him his $500.

optics Keen
To see what was not 10 be SEEN"

But the discovery has been made. Demo
Gratis are no longer democrats. What avails
the battles they have fought-the sacrifices
they have made. One word changes them. The
sudden petrifaction of men, women, children,
and beasts in the enchanted city, mentioned in
the Arabian tales, excited our iveliest surprise
and our warmest interest in childhood" In
every variety of posture--in eating, in drinking
in walking, in standing, in lying down, they were
changed. The warm glow of life was on them
the flush Of health, the bright CLEAN Of intelli
gence. The robust strength of manhood ami
mated the limbs of the men; grace and lowell
ness adorned the chiselled forms of the women;
mirth, laughter and innocence came fresh and
Joyous from the children-but in an instant
they were changed They passed from life
unto death. They stood motionless and dumb
They stood still, for they were petrifed by en-
chantment.
But that wonderful miracle that so astonished
and interested us in childhood no longer aston
ishes. A greater miracle has been performed
in the face of day, before our eyes, before the
eyes of countless witnesses.
In the act of working for the democratic
party, labor Of Loves in the act Of asserting the
true principles that make up its creed; whilst
defying its enemies and cheering its friends
with the boot at one and the hurrah to the
other, fresh on our lips, the decree has gone
forth, and we stand changed, in moment in
the twinkling Of an eye, from democrats into
what? A CLEAN Of comfort, ofhope, here breaks
upon us! Into what? We are told that We
have been magically changed, but have not YET
been told what we have been changed into
We await another revelation

THE mIRAcLE OF THE AGE.

We live in stirring times. Events crowd SO
rudely on one another that the occurrence OF
yesterday is most unceremoniously showed out
ofthe way by the vigorous and audacious occur
renee of to-day. The discovery Of the circula-
ton of the blood, seems as old as Adam.
The law of gravitation as venerable as Moses.
Franklin's discoveries, and the application OF
steam and the telegraph, all have the settled
look of old wellestablished things. The find
ing Of the northwest passage, has just been
chronicled, but that announcement has been
rapidly followed by the announcement of anoth-
er discovery that is in truth the most wonderful
of all the wonders. 1t is that the democratic
party isn't the democratic party.
II took wise man to find out that. 1t took
