NJ Halevy, in paper read before a
learned society in France. The people
are known as the Faiashas, and they num-
Der $50, 900 souls. VI. Halevy says they
speak an Aqua dialect called Falasnina,
or Kaillinia, and into this language they
have translated a Ghecz version Of the
Old Testament. They do not practice
polygamy. They Circumcise their male
children ON the seventh day. Their
proper names are derived from Hebrew,
Gheez and Amnaric The institution of
publication is pracliCed the children are
taught the Bible, the Psalms, prayers, and
sacred history In the synagogues the sexes
sit apart. Incense is burned during the
services. Their religious hopes are
turned to Jerusalem, but their ideas of
Messiah are very indistinct. They are
wholly Unacquainted with Hebrew, and
know nothing of the ceremonies instituted
after the time of Ezra. They have a
religious literature; keep the Sabbath
rigidly; fast on Mondays and Thursdays;
keep the 9th of Ab to commemorate the
destruction of Jerusalem; wash before
and say grace after eating; have tradi-
tiOnal mode of slaughtering animals for
food; and practice commemorative sacri-
fees on the holy days, and also for the
repose Of the souls u the dead. Their
women enjoy equality with men. They
hold slaves, but liberatc them after a ser
vitude Of six years.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The reception
at The executive mansion to-day was very
magnificent, equalling perhaps in bril-
iancy any ever held.
The weather, though somewhat cloudy,
had no effect in preventing great mum
bers of citizens and strangers from call
ing to pay their respects to the President.
The leyec began shortly after 1890, when
the President receivedt the diplomatic corps,
and members of the cabinet with their
ladies'
Mrs. Grant
Was attired in a suit of black Lyons silk
velvet, highly trimmed with black lace
and satin sash. She wore as ornaments
pearls and diamonds. She was assisted
by
Mrs. Smith,
Her cousin, Mrs. D. Sharp, sister of Mrs.
Grant, Mrs. Gen. Dent, Mrs. Gen Porter,
Miss Nellie Grant and Miss Dent Presi-
dent Grant was assisted by Marshal
Sharp, Gen. Mycheen, Vice President Col
fax and Gen. Horace Porter. The pres
ent members of the Diplomatic corps
were
In FuiI COuTt Costume,
the ladies most grandly attired. When
the President and Mrs Grant entered the
parlor, the band struck up "Hail to the
Chief" and the reception commenced,
the greeting taking place in the blue par
Tor, and lasting with the Diplomatic
Corps and President until Il o'clock.
Then the Judges of the Supreme Court
and the Judiciary Of this District, were
received. The Supreme Court Judges
were accompanied by their ladies. The
veteran soldiers of the war of 1912,
and the Oldest inhabitants and members
of the courts of the District, were then
received in accordance with ancient Gus
tom.

4 REMARKABLY CASE or CIR
CEJMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.

From the st. Joseph tMo.) Herald, Dec. -
The Circuit Court of Nodoway county
has been in session during the past week,
Judge l. c. Parker presiding. Most OF
the time was occupied in the trial of Solo
mon McAlpine for the murder of John
CallicOtt, developing a most singular case
of circumslantial evidence. In August,
1866, these two young men left Holly
vile, Iowa, to come to St. Joseph to buy
apples, expecting to load their wagon and
return to Iowa to sell their fruit Not
long after-sOme few days, we believe
McAlpine returned to Hollyville, told some
plausible story about his partner having
made other arrangements and gone on to
ST. Joseph, and for some time no further
notice was taxed of the matter. The con
tinucd absence of Callicott, and the fact
that nothing was heard from him, finally
induced the arrest Of McAlpine, but on
his examination nothing was elected
eliminating him and he was discharged
A long search for Callicott proved una
vailing, and for eighteen months a pro-
found mystery enveloped the case.
In March, 1865, party of railroad en-
gineerS surveying the route of the Missouri
Valley Railroad, some six miles north
east OF Maryyille, found the skeleton of a
man. An investigation aroused the sus-
picion that it was the remains of CalIicott
The authorities in Iowa were written to,
and witnesses were brought down. The
mother of CalliCott recognized a bOny pro
tuberance on the chin of the skeleton ,
also, the absence of tooth drawn on the
day he started on his final trip, and his
mother preserved the tooth. 1t fitted the
jaw of the skeleton, and dentist testified
it had been drawn from the OrifCe Pieces
of blue coat and several peculiar buttons
were recognized as resembling parts of
CallicOtts dress when he left home. There
were three builet-nulcs ia sine skull. =
The identification was so complete
that McAlpine was Te-aTTested, and, af-
ter several c9ntinuances, the case came to
trial last Monday. The Judge instructed
the jury that any facts or want of proof
mitigating the crime from murder in the
first degree need not restrain their render
ing a verdict in the second degree or
manslaughter. The jury, after due de-
liberation, brought in verdict Of murder
in the second degree We learn that
neither the prisoner nor his friends-oT at
torneys manifest any dissatisfaction with
the verdict, and the case will not be ap-
pealed.

THAT WARD IN QUINCY.

1t may be interesting to the voters in this
county TO know on what pretext the radical
County Clerk of Adams County, threw out
220 votes for Mr.. Gable in Quincy, and for
~hich Mr.. Hswley was willing to pay th e
sum of $500. The Herald gives the matter
IN full, as follows:
If there is anything to which radicals viii
not resort to bolster up their cause we have
vet to hear of 1t 10 this district, after
usiug every eff TT known to political trickery
hose bowling followers of God and
humanity IN order to secure the election o,
the can,ing hypocrite Hawley beyond doubt
threw out The entire vote OF the Fifth Ward
of this city, where Cables majority was 220
This wss done simply because the clerk Of
election failed to carry out the totals opposite
Cable and Hswley's names. after they had
been added. In every other particular, and
with regard tc all other candidates, the Law
and forms had been com piled with, leaving
no shadow OF fraud or intention OF fraud
Yet a radical county clerk does not hesitate
TO throw ont the entire vote of the Fifth
ward upon this plea.
Through the efforts of leading democrats
sd amended return was made Yesterday,
and will be forwarded to Springfield =
Whether it will save the vote of the ward is
q question !; that it ought, is beyond doubt
This instance should be a lesson to Judges
nf election hereafter. and should ID pres,
them With the responsibility oftheir position.
Had the vote been close in Adams county,
this neglect might have been the means OF
defeating four candidates for the Legislature
and others. AS it is it will not affect any
one particularly.
