1HE FEAST OF EsTHER.-Our fellow-cltlzens
~ the Mosaic persuasion, tomorrow celebrate
.sPurim," or the "Feast of Esther.' This Is
tbe last of the feasts or holidays Of tho Jewish
wear coming one month only, as it does, before
Passover. the first festival in tho new year.
OF the origin of Purim it is needless to speak
here. as every one of our readers ID doubtless
familiar with the beautiful story Of Esther, rs
contained in the sacred volume. There is
more of merriment and hilarious rejoicing
than of sanctity about this holiday. 1t is the
.LSwish saturnalia, perhaps because nearly CO.
incident in the season Of the year with the
great and Roman popular holiday, and also
with the carnival of Roman Catholic countries
In Chambers "Jewish Life in Central Europe"
we find the following mention made OF the
ceremonies and customs connected with this
festival:
con the evening Of the 18th, as we'll as on
the morning Of the 14th, the whole congrega-
ton meet in the synagogue, in order to hear

especially enjoined. At'thc evening meal, tho
Grave and generally very abstemious rabbi in
duIges IN an additional glass OF vino. This
license he takes at tne express tecoiuiueHua-
tion OF the Talmud, which relates strange
tales of pious men who, in consequence OF over
INDULGENCE in the treacherous liquor, made
odd bunders in their encomiums on Alordecai.
Among the young folks, fun and folly reign
paramount. They disguise themselves IN
erotesouc manner, and thus pay, visits to tneiI
friends, reciting gay verses, and occaslonaliy
pcrrormipc parts Of the Book OF Esther,
dramat;zed for tho purpose, while, at the sam'
time, faithful to the customs OF their ances.
tors, presents are interchanged by friends ano
acquaintances. Esther tx, 22):; TINS oEPor'

The SPRNG-sTREET CHURcH.-Our Methodist
friends will be gratifed in reading the notice
in our columns in connection with this church
edifice. Soon after the surrender in 1865, tho
chnrch was taken under an order which had
been issued By the Secretary of War, Mr.. Stan
ton. permitting the Methodist Episcopal Church
(North) to occupy as missionary stations all
abandoned church buildings belonging to the
Methodist Episcopal Church (South). This
nroceedine. in connection with the advance OF
armies, was sufficiently startling, but the body
Of the Southern people indulged in the hope
that the cessation Of bloody strife would be
the signal for the immediate restoration to
their former owners all churches held under
that order. Whether owing to "red tape" In
tba church or in the political world, we will
r,,t undertake to say, but it is fact, which
everv we'll wisher Of religion who is not po-
lticsl partisan must deplore, that there re-
mains to this day a large amount OF church
nroperty throughout the South still held and
occ-pied under the same order. To-day, how
aver We chronicle what we trust will be the
barbipger Of better times for our Southern
Methodisis, as well as better omen for the
Northern Methodist Church. After tree years
Of long deferred hope the pulpit Of Spring
street Methodist Episcopal Church (South)
will tomorrow be occupied by its own minis
ters. We congratulate our friends in the up
ne- wards upon this enlargement OF their
church accommodations, and trust that the
generosity Of Colonel B. F. Evans and his CO.
Iaborers who originally projected the enterprise
will now achieve the good results they had in
view.

LIFE AMONG THE NEwsBoYs-AN INCIDENT.
Newsboys arc q curiosity the world over.
Whether in Now York crying ''Eres yer 'Erald,
Times and Try-bune," or in Charleston pro-
claiming TO sleeping city that world is born,
with ..'Hyars yer Daiee Nooze," they are the
same unmistakeablc little wretches-dirty
enough to pass for real estate, suacy enough
10 havo been dieted at ,Billingsgate, and tot
tered enough to have been born in rag bag.
Your genuine newsboy considers himself
possessed of as many inalienable rights as
member of the Reconstruction Convention, and
woe to the unlucky wight who attempts to
invade the prerogatives either Of, his clan or
himself. Insult him, get his ''paddy" up, sell
papers on his beat, poke fun at him, cheat him
ont of n thpoo oeuJ piece, or Trend on his toes
metaphorically, andyou might as well attempt
to quench the phosphorcscent emanations
from the tail end Of Tightening bug with
squirt gun, as to put down that indignant
newsboy. He biles, raves, tears round loose,
breaks things, and if his antagonist happens
to be physically unmanageable, he converts
himself into conversational battering ram,
and demolishes you With whole volies of male
dictions.
An illustration of the manner in which tho
genuine newsboy makes war upon interlopers
occurred yesterday. An ambitious little juve-
nile who aspired to join the tuneful choir, COM
menced his song in the usual way and at the
usual hour, 'Hyars yer Dailee Nooze, trotting
as fast as his legs could carry him towards the
market The rest Of tho boys followed. They
caught him; they pummelled him, and they
took away his papers. He struck out gallantly
for his ''altars and his fires" but it was no uso.
About that time policeman came to the res
cue. Somebody was arrested and hauled be-
fore the Mayor. The delinquent was fined S.
and made to pay for tho papers grabbed. He
forkod over The "spondulix' with character
istic cuss, regular newsboy's cuss and VIC
venture to say the irrepressible wretch has
kept up his Evolutionary wickedness ever since.
We must say, however, for newsboys, that
they have hard, tough struggle with the
world, and in the constant attrtion with it's
sharp angles develope degree Of intelligence
which makes real mon. Some Of the most
eminent statesmen in the country have belong
ed to tho profession, and date their first start
in life, and subsequent success in lis battles,
10 their boyish experience with bundle Of
daily papers under their arms.

it will be opened for the reception of guests on
Monday. It will be under the Jurisdiction OF
Capt. Sigwald, the chief of police, who has ap-
pointed Mr.. Wilton P. Poulnot, temporary

present, to be used and o fence forty feet high

and intended to accommodate three or four
occupants but the majority are single. The
cages that we're on each floor have been divided
into narrow apartments, each with an IRON
barred door, where the prisoners will be con-
fined at night. In the basement two large
rooms will be used as work rooms, where the
daily tasks will be performed. A quantity o.
stone is now on hand that will be broken up
for macadamizing purposes by the prisoners.

pattern will be procured and the grist and
meal used by the city ground on the spot.

arc now about nine or ten prisoners in the

is to be hoped that offenders will be few and Ear

The GUNpowDER QUESTION. TN the proceed
ings of the Mayors court it will be seen that
several merchants were arrested for selling
gunpowder without license. Most Of them
sinned ignorantly, as they had not supposed it
necessary to renew their old licenses. Council
passed the ordinance requiring icens-s before
the var as precautionary measure and not to
aid the revenue. These licenses cost nothing,
and tho first notification was thought by the
merchants to be sufficient. Apenalty Of one
hundred dollars is imposed by law on all who
sell without license, but under the circum-
stances the Mayor remitted the fine.
Three OF the merchants were fined for selling
and storing the gunpowder contrary to city
ordinances, which prescribe that only thirty
eight pounds can be kept in store, and that it
must be in tin canister on the right hand
side of the door, This was to prevent ex-
plosions at fires. When store is broken
open the fireman rushes to the spot and re-
moves the canister instantly; whereas if he had
to search for the powder this could not be
done. The parties who violated this provision
of tho law we're fined twenty dollars; while one
who had no tin canister, but On open keg con-
tanning more than the prescribed number Of
pounds, was fined fifty dollars.
