A 'lady' in New Bedford, Massachu-
sets, recently bought a pair of white
gloves, to be returned in case they did
not suit. They we're returned as not
suiting. when it was discovered they
had been used to decorate the hands Of
a corpse, and removed before the lid of
the coffin was screwed down.
Dakotah Territory, it is reported, will
soon be asking for admission into the
Union as State. Villages are spring
ing up there rapidly, and more than five
thousand persons have emigrated to the
Territory this summer. The present
population is estimated at 10000, and
forty seven thousand acres of land have
lately been taken up under the home
stead and pre~emption laws, by actual
settlers.
The papers relate al anecdote of
beautiful young lady, who had become
blind, having received her sight after
marriage. 1t is not an uncommon thing
for peoples eyes to be opened by mat
rimony.

It is said that along the rebsl breast

Mr.. McKELvEY: Sir-A thing ofbeauty.is q

this. l take pleasure in commencing your Life
Compound, not so much on account of what it
has done for me, as wa, it may be the means of
doing for thousands of others.
To the sick and suffering, therefore, wish,
through your advertisement to say few words
of encouragement. One year ago was an in
valid; am now hearty and well. My disease
was dyspepsia Of TEN years standing; I had
tried all means knew of for a cure, without
avail. until about the first of September last
became acquainted with young man who told
me of Mr.. McKelvey's remedy, and the good
work it had done in the neghborhood of his
former home erie. Pa.) Immediately applied

commenced taking it. commenced improving
in few day s and continued to improve, and in
less than three months from that time was en-
tirely restored, and have remained we'll ever
since Mine was rather an inveterate case. and
pronounced so by all the physicians Of this city.
The medicine was so successfulin my case, that
cannot refrain from adding my testimony in
it's favor.

rty was recently held in this city, aud series
of resolutions were passed by them
which created much astonishment both
among the Jews and Christians BY
the press generally these resolutions have been
commended as showing progressive spirit,
and desire to break down the barriers that
exist between the Jews and their neighbors of
different nationalities and creeds. BY many,
and perhaps large majority, of the Jews,
however, the action of these representatives
of the progressive party has been received
with decided disapprobation. On our fifth
page we publish a communication from the
learned Rabbi S. Morals, which explains the
position of the Israelites who adhere in spite
of every adverse circumstances, to the reli-
gion of their forefathers. 1t is the fashion
nowadays to commend any evidences of
progressive spirit, in religious bodies espe-
cially, and the idea of Judaism making an
advance is so striking that it has been
applauded without due consideration of all
the facts of the case. A little reflection
ought to convince any one, however, that the
position taken by Mr.. Morals is the only cor
rect one from Jewish standpoint.
There is but one progressive step that a
Jew can make, and that is to accept Christi
anity. The law as given by Moses is precise
and definite in every particular, and it is inn
possible that any changes can be made with
out overturning the whole fabric and utterly
destroying the hopes that have supported
generation after generation of Jews for the
last eighteen centuries.
1t is not our duty to enter upon discus
sion of the merits of the Jewish and the
Christian religions, or to take sides one way
or the other in the differences that exist
among the Jews themselves We merely
wish to present this subject from an impair
tial standpoint, and to show that such a thing
as progressive Judaism is an impossibility.
When Judaism becomes progressive it ceases
to be Judaism any longer, in the Scriptural
acceptation of the term, and it loses its infu-
ence alike with Hebrew and Gentle. The
manner in which the Israelitish people have
clung to the religion of Moses is one of the
most wonderful things in the history of
the human race, and the unchangeablenes
of this religion is It's most remarkable fea-
ture. The Christian believes that the Mo-
sale law is abrogated by Christianity; but to
the Jew, who still looks for the coming of the
Messiah the law as given by Moses on Sinai
is in as full force to-day as when it was re-
vealed to His chosen people by Jehovah amid
the thunders and earthquakes centuries ago,
after they had come ont of Egypt to take
possession of the promised land. AS Rabbi
Morals says:-
"To conscientious Israelite the last conference
is then but mad attempt to erase with stroke of
the pen what the finger of God wrote in characters
of fire. To the discerning Christian, who under
stands progress mainly to he the improvement OF the
mind and the heart. it must now appear an empty
avowal of heterodoX views"

THANKSGIVING Day.

In accordance with the recommendation of
the President of the United States and the
Governor of the State of Pennsylvania,
raj thanksgiving and prayer to the Almighty
for the fruits of the earth and the manifold
blessings of the year that is drawing to a
close Thanksgiving day is Puritan idea,
and it was originally intended to supersede
Christmas as religious festival. Christmas,
however, has come to be observed by all
classes and denominations. The old Puritan
prejUdices against it as ''popish' observ-
ance having gradually died out. Thanksgiving
day, too, has grown into general favor, and it
is no longer regarded as Puritanieal inno-
walton. The perfect propriety of such
festival has commended it to the people Of
every creed, and made it one of the most
popular of our holidays.
The last year has been one of unusual pros
perity to the American people, and it is fitting
that an acknowledgment of the blessings we
enjoy should be made to the Giver of all
good. The harvests have been plentiful, and
our wealth has increased in many ways, while
the disagreements growing out of our civil
war have rapidly been settled, and the pros
poets of reign of an uninterrupted period of
peace and prosperity in the future are such as
to cause general feelings of thanksgiving in
all sections of the country, and to secure
proper observance of the festival of to-mor-
row by persons of all shades of religious and
political opinion.

JEWISH REFORM.

The conservatism of the Jewish Church is its
most remarkable and characteristic feature,
and, to the ordinary observer, it would seem
impossible that there should ever be any
material change in its creed or ceremonials
without total abrogation of all that renders
the Hebrews distinct and separate people
There nevertheless does exist among the Jews
party of progress that is striving to do away
with observances that seem to be obsolete,
and bring Judaism to position more In ao-
cordance with the spirit Of the age A CON
ference of persons claiming rabbinical autho-

THE CHURCH And THE FENLANS.
WE published yesterday an abstract of the
pastoral recently issued by Cardinal Cullen to
the Irish clergy, in which he begs his reve-
rend brethren to exhort the young men of
their focks against Fenianism, and to
threaten them with the penalty of excommu-
nication if they do not abandon all connec-
ton with secret political societies. His de-
nunciations of the dreadful crime of muir
der" will meet the hearty approval of all
honorable and humane men, but we do not
wonder that many Irishmen persist in at
tempts to organize resistance to British tyr
amy and misgovernment, despite the man
dates of their favorite Church The Catholic
clergy have reason to be grateful for the re-
cent action of Parliament on the disendow-
ment bill. 1t has given a strong proof
of the readiness of English politicians
to take care of their peculiar interests and
Cardinal Cullen no doubt feels in duty bound
to show his appreciation of the services of
Mr. Gladstone and his Whig compeers by
assisting them in maintaining peace and or
der in the oppressed Emerald Isle. But even
though priests and prime ministers be salts
fed with the situation, the people continue to
manifest their discomfort with system that
still reeks with rank injustice; and in the
absence of any better and manlier way for
securing concert of action, they establish
secret societies They have so often had
their public demonstrations crushed out in
tyrannical method by the British authorities,
and their leaders have SO often been tried,
imprisoned, exiled, or executed, that we do
l..
italian and Spanish examples which are
so strongly condemned by Cardinal Cullen
They must either submit tamely or prepare
secretly for effective antagonism to their op-
pressors, and much as we may condemn the
outrages and crimes by which their cause is
sometimes stained, their worst wickedness is
innocence itself when compared with the
many infamous wrongs which have been per-
petrated and sanctioned by the British Gov
ernmelt, There is something radically wrong
In the system of administration which in
period of seven hundred years has failed to
pacify and conciliate subjugated people.
And vain as their aspirations for independence
may prove, they will continue to find some
form of expression for their righteous indig-
nation until more of their old burdens are re-
moved. If Mr.. Gladstone follows up the
Disendowment bill by law abolshing and
reforming the notoriously unjust features of
the present Irish land system, he will do more
to suppress Fenianism and kindred combina-
tions than Cardinal Cullen can accomplish by
hundred pastorals. He will strive in vain
to establish permanent tranquility if he does
not give to the working farmers and peasantry
foir m Ia fr1it &c
of their labors, or if he fails to avert the
storms of indignation which are continually
created by summary evictions Much as the
Irishmen desire that Irishmen may rule Ire
land, great step towards pacifcation would
be made if Englishmen learnedto rule it justly
