CITY TNTEII.IGENCE.


Among the ancient Jews Of Palestine il WAS Gus
tom on the tenth day Of the seventh manth FIR all
animosties of whatever character, GO beforgotten,
and all 10 meet as brethren. Ii also custom
If the property of one passed into the possession
OF another, by purchase, il was restored 10 the
hereditary owner, as one Of the laws forbade the
transferring OF any lands except upon this condi-
ton. AT the present day ii il Is observed as
solemn last All the male members Of the faith
are required to attend the synagogue where the
day IL spent in prayers appropriate to the occa-
sion. This Is one Of the most important iasts in
the Jewish Church. 9
There is much in the rites, customs, and char
acter OF this prosecuted that commands adj
miration. Though rejecting jesus Christ and his
mission, they have acted always on one Of his pre-
cepts, IN being sswise serpents and harmless as
dovcs" The proudest and the greatest have, in
turn, acknowledged their obligations to the jew
for the success of schemes that have shaken the
world The tribute paid to the race by Dsraeli,
(himself Jew) In the work called " Coningsby" ID
one of the most beautiful, and, at the the time
truthful portraitures Of Jewish character and jew
sh deeds The great Shakespeare, in predicating the
worst character of the jew, puts into the mouth of
Shylock himself, words that awaken sympathy for
the oppressed The smalness Of the number Of
the chosen people" in SO large place as Wash
ngton, has been often remarked. Reason, they es-
chew politics. attend to their own business are pro-
fessors of J." thrift that does not & follow awn-
ing and do a cash business, which does not pay
here.
Or WHAT 1T IS MADE.--On looking over the
proceedings of the rejuvenated Dimocracy of
Georgetown 1t is to be noted that every single
officer ia an office-holder. How many Of the
same sort composed the meeting we are not
advised, but, doubtless, large proportion.
Whether the number present was large, we do
not know, but we have heard of meetings that
made great show in the papers, where there
were not enough present to afford the necessary
officers.
The elect Of the Democracy are Mr.. Robert
Ould, Codifer Of Laws; Mr.. R. Jones, Inspector
of the Penitentiary; Mr.. II. Loughborough, Cod-
fer on the part of Washington county; Mr.. Robt
White, Collector; Mr.. E. G. Brown, Deputy Col
lector; Mr.. Il. Grouse, Messenger or Waterman
in the Interior Department; and Mr.. John Garrett
Clerk at the Penitentiary.
The reader fails to recognise the name Of the
cold wheelhorse," Joe Pearson, and Others who
are laid upon the shelf to sup hereafter on savory
remembfances." They do say that the thing was
done on the 'snap Judgment order and that the
old-liners intend to blow up the whole Democratic
concern, as thus organized.
HONE MANUFAcrURE.--"Why should we quit
our own to stand on foreign ground 7" The
habit Of running North or sending North for
everything want, when the same a better
article can be had at home, is one Of the crying
is the order of the day in other than the clothing
line. We desire to call attention to the extern
sive and magnificent assortment of carriages, bug
ges, rockaways, "wagns,n &C., Of Mr. Thomas
Young whose house is ON Pennsylvania avenue
between Four-and-ahalf and Sixth streets. This
gentleman works forty or fifty hands, and turns
out an article equal to any whatever, and at
prices to suit the times. We speak judgmatical-
", for we were once in the carriage line, and,
as the warhorse snuffs the smoke of battle, or
the hunter pricks up his ears at the music of the
hounds, so the fresh smell of native shavings,
with kindng majesty dilates our strong concep-
ton" even yet. Success to Mr. Young and home
manufactures.
THE AMERICAN EL--WAsHISGroN.--We be-
lieve we are comforting favor on the travelling
public by inviting especial attention to the card of
Messrs Hetllebower & Lovett We speak from
our experience during a recent Visit 10 Washing
ton, when we say that the American" can hardly
be excelled in the :" means and appliances" neces-
sary and proper for the comfortable entertainment
Of It's guests. Mr. Griffin s. Ward late Of Virginia.
Ia in this establishment and all who have enjoyed
an opportunity of testing his peculiar fitness for
his position will bear us out in the assertion that
he knows how to make his guests take their ease
at their inn" We are tempted to expatiate upon
the merits Of the employees of this establishment,
not forgetting our old friend the incompatible
joe but must content ourselves with repeti-
Washington to give the American trial---.Stann-

ARE CHrSouoprSs BIious?-Now that erema-
causis and kindred subjects engage the attention
of the faculty, and Cooney has commenced its an
nual contribution to the general meal, In the shape
Of chinquopins, we PROFOUND the momentous ques-
tion Are they bilious In the solution Of it is in
voved the fate of many of the rising generation,
and also Of those who have been not nsptly term

the mountain who wanted to discuss the question
Of whether the United States and Great Britain
were taking the wright coarse to discover the
Whereabouts of DIR. Kane and Sir John Franklin,
we have the privilege Of taking the negative, and
will hold on to 1t, at least for the Chinquopin
seasen.
ALL Amour A HALF PEcK.-Ths morning two
aged crones negotiating about Centre Market in the
huckstering line got into dispute about the legal
ownership and possession Of a half peck measure
The was adjourned at once 10 the guard
house and the testimony heard. One had evil
dencc of the right against the others possession,
and Notwithstanding she could swear on stack Of
Bibles that the article had been in her cellar for
six months, il was promptly handed over to the
rghtfnl owner
BUILDING AssooTATIoss.--We notice IN our
columns cali for a meeting TO organize Build
ing Association, 10 be held at Temperance Hall,
this evening at 10 o'clock. At a similar meet
ing in March last many persons were unable to
procure shares. BY attending the meeting as
above, no doubt that theil wants in that line may
be supplied. The principles Of these associations
have been fully tested, and they are found to be
among the safest and most profitable investments,
particularly for men Of small means.
RARE CHANcE--We call attention to the adver-
tisement Of Mr.. w. Mex Osborn, Of Georgetown,
of a splendid assortment Of dry goods for sale at
cost for cash. The simple announcement, at this
season, when housewives are laying in supplies Of
clothing for themselves, children, and servants,
will be all sufficient TO have bis store crowded till
the stock is run of. Persons may rely upon bona
tide move, and not one simply to attract attention.
