Ca The Terre Haute (Id.) Express,
of late date says that a few days ago, a
couple said to be from that State, repaired
to Marshal, ILL.,, to consummate that great
event in the life of young people-mar-
riage. They put up at the Wright
House, and the happy, expectant bride
groom, sailed forth to procure the nee
essary license, and a minister. In his
absence, a gentleman, who had just re-
turned from California, examined the
register, and finding the lady's name
upon it, he Immediately sought her pres
ence.-He proves to be former sutton
of the lady, and in fact, the two were
engaged to be married at the time he left
for the golden State, where he went to
seek fortune to enable him to wed the
woman of his choice. OF course there
was a scene. He upbraided the fair one
for her Inconsistency, and she wept a tor
rent of tears, asking forgiveness, and
vowed she would break her present en-
gagement and unite her fortunes with
her old lover. Just at that moment the
first gentleman returned and his aston
ishment was very great at the turl
affairs had taken in his temporary absence
Explorations followed, and the poor cir
being unable to decide between the tw
lovers, they retired to consult about tn

Change of Seed.

THE Importance to farmers of changing seeds
from different sections of the country, and
also of obtaining the best varieties, has become
settled fact, and has been fully demonstrated
in Orleans County for the last three years
There have been several articles in the Standard
the past winter. signed by some of the most en-
inent farmers in the country, testifying to the
fact of raising about forty bushels of wheat the
acre, or to say the least, of uncommonly large
crops.
The facts about these large crops are simply
these About three years since, Metcalf, Nc
Lellan & Co.. commenced bringing wheat from
the west, when the idea occurred TO some of our
| farmers who have no objections to large crops
of making this change of seed. Since that time
the demand for western seed has increased, and
Metcalf, Mcclellan & Co., have taken care by per-
sonal Inspection to secure the best of seed and
! this spring we have attended to the matter, and
now have good supply of choice seed wheat fol
all who may wish to adopt what others have
| tried and found to produce some sixty and some
an hundred fold.
This wheat can be found at the Glover Flour
| ing Mil. Farmers, attend to your own interests
and secure your seed in season.

1t is questionable whether Napoleon's
idea OF establishing Jewish Kingdom in
Palestine is practicable. Whatever contume-
ly the Hebrews have suffered elsewhere
they have had infinitely more TO endure In
the country made illustrious by their his
torical associations and peculiar theoloqy.
They are more hated and oppressed in the
city of Jerusalem than in any other city on
earth, and to restore them TO power would
require the complete expulsion of Mahome-
dams and the continual presence of largo
forces to keep back the hordes of intract-
able semi-savages, who hold them in inn.
measurable detestation. The Arabs might
be held in check, but they would not be
subdued or restrained from rebellion and
could not exist under Jewish government
The Hebrews. themselves, would be salts
fed with nothing less than their ancient
Theocraey, aud it is questionable whether

ets would be effective after so long time;
ana under any other system their treasured
traditions and statutes would be no more
applicable than at present. Neither Turk
nor Christian could remain under govern.
ment which Moses found adapted to the re-
quirements of the great camp In the wilder.
ness Nor do we think that the American
Jews would care to be thus colonized and
separated from the world of commerce.
Their mercantile instincts lead them TO the
most active places of commerce. They are
among the first in the founding of cities.
and their cOngenial atmosphere is that of
new enterprise; they are patriotic, freedom
loving, and loyal to the government which
gives them equal protection, aud differ
from other citizens in nothing but the OBJ
servance OF certain religious rites and "set
times" which interfere with none of the
first laws of fChristian nations. We doubt
whether If the crown of Jerusalem sparkle
tomorrow on the heights of Mount Zion
five thousand Jews in America would aban-
don republican freedom. even for the splen.
did empire of the restoration.
Napoleon's proposition is romantic and
startling. rendered so by the historical ro-
nance of the ancient people; but when
viewed through the lens of practical polit-
lcal economy, ii becomes visionary and un.
statesmanlike. Rothschild has already
enough empire; he will hardly yield the
despotic sovereignty of England, France
and other national debtors for the narrow
territory of Palestine, where ramparts of
gold would not protect his remains from the
wandering, penniless son Of the desert.

THE CALIFORNIA SYOD AND THE SABBATH
The Synod of Upper California, whose scs-
sion was held in San Francisco has Just
closed. The following in reference to the
Sabbath was adopted by unanimous vote of
the Synod:
"Your Committee on Sabbath Observance
report that the Sabbath continues to be
desecrated, as in years past throughout the
State. They would have changed Gods
holy day into holiday, and even many
Christians, insensibly yielding TO the pre-
Willing tendency, do not hallOw it as its ga
credness demands, nor as their spiritual in
terests require.
We believe that this disregard of the
Sabbath is one of the greatest barriers
against the promotion of morality and re-
ligion among the people; that il neutralizes
q large share of our Christian efforts, and
that it is fatal to our social, commercial,
and national prosperity.
To counteract this evil, we recognize
l. The duty of every Christian TO set be-
fore the world the example of a Sabbath
kept strictly holy.
2. The duty of every Christian minister
to give the subject of the Sabbath special
attention in his pulpit m:nistrations.
8. The duty of the Government to pro-
tect the people in their right to the enjoy
ment of quiet and peaceful day of rest
from secular labor.
4. The duty of every friend of the Sab
bath to USE every legitimate influence to Sc
cure the election of such men to the Legis-
lature as will restore to the people the right
of which they have been unjustly deprived.
We also recommend that this Synod, in
conjunction with the Congregational Asso-
citation OF California appoint committe to
act in concert with similar committees ap-
pointed by other religious bodies in this
State, in devising measures for securing the
passage, by our Legislature, of a law for
the protection of the people of this State,
in their right to the enjoyment of the peace
and rest appropriate to the Sabbath day"
