Jewish Customs.

Some;of the Jewish opinions and customs
are highly curious. Before Jew is thirteen
years old, his parents are responsible for his
sins; after that age he is himself accountable.
This age is an important epoch, and great
prepaparations are made for it. The youth
that day attends the service of the synagogue,
blessed by his parents, and accompanied by
the rabble. His father is that day ready to
give large sum that his son may have the
honor of going up to the desk, and read aloud

years and a day Eighteen IS considered the

quently takes place six months of year pre-
viously, and is public event in the families,
conducted with feastines ard rejoicing. On
the day of the marriage. all are ip gayest at
tire. The bride and bride groom sit under
velvet canopy, the bride supported by two wo-
men the bridegroom by two men Each drinks
from glass of wine presented by tho priest,
who utters certain words then the bride groom
pnts the ring on the brides finger. The mar
riage contract is read, prayer is offered, then
they again drink of the wine. The empty
glass is then laid on the ground, the bridegr room

stand Firm, for Peace. !.

The recent election Ia the State demonstra-
ted that there were two hundred Thousand
peace men in Ohio. They were defeated, but
their defeat was accomplished by the most
stupendous frauds ever Tracticed upon any
people. Since the election is over, many pera
sons have been philosophising upon the cause
of the overwhelming victory of the opposition.
The War Democrats, who are few in number,
incline to attribute want of success to the
fact that we had Mr.. Vallandigham-a peace
man from the beginning-as cur standard
bearer. If, however, they will look at the vote
polled for Mr.. Jewett--as War Democrat--iu
1861. they will learn that Mr. Valandigham
received $4,000 more votes than he did. And
if they will examine for moment the COM
mon sense of the matter, they cannot but be
satisfied OF the error of their theory. The
object of the Republicans is not to crush ont
Mr. Vallapdi. ham, but the arhole Democratic
party. And any candidate tkey might put
up would be as obnoxious as our late candidate
for Governor. a War Democrat, as such;
they would not object to- But they would
say he was nominated by Copperheads-he
was supported by Copperheads-and they
would oppo e him with the same venom as an
out and ont CopT erhead. Should General
Mcclellan be the candidate of the Democratic
party for the Presidency in 1864, he will be
bitterly opposed by every man; who. opposed
Vallandighum. The entire army will be down
on him, ,and Abolitionsts, who compose the
entire Administration party, will oppose him
to man. Our people go to extremes, and
there is no use in running a moderate war
candidate against radical. The latter would
beat him two to one. So that even as mat
ter of policy our party should keep clear of
the war. Having established ourselves upon.
q platform of peace-hav,ng with the full and
fair understanding that we were peace men,
not raver. het us stand firm for. peace az 4
party-to a man. When we have deno our
duty we will accept the result If the people
of this country want eternal war, they can
have it. We can stand it as lons as they can.

a The Lady Rebels of Poland.

The Russian Lnvald gives the following
picturesque account of the port played by the
Polish ladies in the insurrection
"The Polish ladies chiefly aid the insurrec-
tion in the secret retreat of the domestic
hearth and the hospitals They stimulate the
courage of the men in the bosom of their
families they excite the martial ardor of sons,
husbands and lovers they pass sleepless nights
by the pillows of the agonized and dying, of
whom they have no other knowledge than that
of the wounds which they received in th0 sa-
cred cause of their country. All the COM
bined resources or their feminine seductive
ness, of their persistent affection, and of their
inexhaustible patriotism, are employed in acts
of heroic devotion and self-abnegation. They
spend long hours in the prison court yards,
waiting for permission to enter the cells and
to visit the prisoners. VIII ,rever patriot has
been, the victim Of persecution, or struck
dawn in battle, the Polish women are the first
to offer consolation and assistance. Their
prompt and daring intelligence joined to great
natural tact, makes them powerful au xiliaries
of the insurrection We can positively assert
that were it not for the impulse and concur
renee of the Polish women the movement
would not have lasted so long. 1t is the wo-
men who make the most effective and daring
spies-Who are the safest agents for communi-
eating important information to the insurger is.
The National Government confident to them
the most difficult mission, and has never had
occasion to repent of the confidence so be-
slowed. Their ready invention suggests at
critical moments tho most ingeuius combina-
tions, which are afterwards carried out by the
bold and energetic hands of the men. At
every turn we have to deal with Polish women
and priests, and this is power which we must
take into account"

connection is made with the Mississippi Road
