the bride is nonentty-still faithful wives and the
fondest OF mothers adorn the Jewish Church. The
strlngency OF the rules about matrlmony, which to
the Ithoughtless appear unnecessary and cOnse-
quently calling for modification, proved wholesome
restraint both on parents and children; and while
IL erected the Divine ordination to keep Israel
distinct race, IL furnished society with men
and women Of no doubtful extraction. Where
fore, their attempt to change that the moral
advantage OF which time has demonstrated? The
answer to this query IS contained in the third sec
ton OF the eighth resolution. Had the thirteen
Rabbls who met last week in our city been sincere
in their declaration touching the selection OF Israel
as a religious people," they would have trembed AT
the mere harbOrng of the idea which that section
embodies. But imbued, on the contrary with
notions antagonistic to that belief bent upon re-
moving every trace of the ancient covenant they
did not scruple to proclaim the rite of Circumcision
useless institution. True, they feared public opinion
among their brethren and therefore disguised their
thought; but not so thatit can be easily fathomed.
TO conscientious Israelite, the last conference
is then but mad effort to erase with stroke of the
pen what the finger of God wrote in characters of
nre. TO the discerning Christian, who understands
progress mainly to be the Improvement OF the mind
and OF the heart, 1t must now obviously appear an
empty avowal of certain heterodox views

Not far below Communipaw and neal
the Jersey shore, an island is being
made OF the refuse and garbage of New
York, which has received the name of
Black Tom. The garbage is mostly
collected from ash barrels, and is taken
to the dumping grounds at the foot of
Roosevelt, Stanton, Fifth, Sixteenth,
Twenty-third, and Thirty-third streets,
on the East River, and from the foot
of Yesey, Laight, Twelfth, Twenty
first, and Forty seventh streets, on the
North River. 1t is taken from these
dumping grounds to the island in Ga
scows, each with capacity of 800 cub
ic yards. Five steam-tugs are employ
ed for towing purposes. Twenty-four
mule carts and $50 men are brought
into requisition to unload and spread
the soil on the island, the contractors
receiving 10 cents per CARLOAD. The
island is overrun by seekers after wealth
who rake over eAery load Immediately
on its arrival for any hidden valuables
it may contain. Most of these pickers
make from twenty to thirty dollars n
week, and one of the shining lights
of the profession is reported to have
found 50, 900 bond. The island is in
creasing rapidly in size, and will prob.
ably be joined to the mainland OF New
Jersey before long.

The New fractional CURRENcY.-A
number of the the ten cent notes of the
new fractional currency are in circula-
ton this week, and are exquisitely en-
graved. The border lathe work is as
we'll executed as the finest notes in cir
culation. On the left is vignette of q
girl, and on the right the seal of the
Treasury. The back OF the note is in
dorsed the same as the notes of the old
issue.
The paper for these notes is superior
to that of the currency notes now in
use. Instead of the fashy broze here
tofore nsed on the fractional currency,
an engraved seal printed in red, has
been substituted.
AS stated above, the ten cent notes
contain the bust of female. The
fifteen cent notes will bear represents
ton OF the dome of the Capitol. Mr..
Fessenden's head is taken off the twenty
five cents notes and that of Washington
substituted, while Mr. Linclon's face
will replce that of Mr.. Spinner on the
fifty-cent notes.
