LAST CHANCE FOR BARGAINS ii.
Baum 4 Brother have nearly closed out
their huge stock Of ready-made custom
clothing, gents furnishing goods, hats,
boots and shoes, hosiery and gloves of
all kinds, from the best manufactures ;
also, carpet sacks. v~alises, trunks,
Mission wooden blankets, aud all such
articles found in a first class clothing
house. What little they have left on
hand they will sell ut much less than
cost, as they have to vacate their store
on the first day of April, without fail /;
therefore Il better chance for bargains,
either wholesale or retail, never WAS
seen. They now also offer for sale
their splendid safe, large rich looking
glass, and all their store fixtures. This
sale is absolute, and without reserve,
therefore II small amount Of coin will
go further than one would expect. All
Indebted to Baum & Brother are
urgently required to come forward at
once and settle, without further notice.
This is the last chance-improye it.

BATHING IN THE JORDAN. = Making all
haste to undress, SO as to be in the stream
before the pilgrims came up, to run down
the bank, and leap into the river, is the work
of a minute, and am buffeting its waters,
although, from the swiftness of the current,
| find it no easy matter either TO keep my
feet or to cross by swimming to the other
side, and have scarcely "eome up out of the
water and had time to dress, ere hundreds
of naked men, women and children are run
ming pell-mell and plunging into the stream.
How exciting and yet interesting to witness
young and old, withered and blooming-de-
cency respected by some, and flung to the
wind by Others. Nudity, as we have seen,
being by no means rare in the East, its i'm
propriety is scarcely noticed, OF, if so, makes
no impression. Many are praying on the
brink of the river, and others, even in the
middle of the stream, heartily embracing and
congratulating each other on having reached
the goal of their desires. The young assist
the old to dress and undress, performing
many little acts of kindness and attention.
Still crowds come over the plain, undress,
then rush down the bank into the river in
living masses. Age and sex are overlooked
in this moment of religious excitement; it is
only after they issue from the stream that
they in some measure regain their composure
and wonted modesty. A few, notice, wear
white calico dresses, not intended to conceal
their persons-which, when wet, they fail of
doing-but TO be taken to their far-away
homes, carefully preserved, and used as
shrouds after death. Six or seven strong
black fellows are stationed in different parts
of the river to prevent accidents from drown
ing, which sometimes occur-as, for example,
last year, two youths, carried away BY the
stream, persisted. Others, observe, are ap-
pointed to dip the timid or assist the aged,
which duty they perform becomingly, aud
with the utmost kindness. What speeta-
clel There are at this moment hundreds
dabbling and plunging in the water, which
is from TWO to four feet deep, and about one
third the breadth of the Thames at London
Bridge; hundreds more on the bank, so that
| am jostled and hustled in the living crowd.
The aim and object of one and all is once In
their lives to battle, not only in the Jordan,
but at this ford, where they believe Jesus
Himself was baptized. Each pilgrim, or the
head Of family, brings with him or her,
roundish shaped tin, for the purpose Of car
rying home some water, which is carefully
preserved and regarded as holy, being used
as a specific for almost all diseases.-BlacEs
