JEWISH PhYLACTRRlEs.

Prof. Hitchcock brought back from
tho holy Land, among other curiosi.
ties, preserved PHI ylacteries, which sre
described as follows in the New York
Evening Post: Ply ylac,eries-,he COM
mon Gre K word for amulets-v re
worn very generally by the Jews at the
commencement Of tho Christina era.
They consist OF -nu1.u~- -.4-;p nf narah.
ment, about eighteen inches long, on
which are. carefully written in iuvow-
elled Hebrew. fur passages from the
UId Testament-Ecod xiii. 2-lO ;
lilly; Deut. vi. 4-9, and 1922. The
strip is rolled up, aud placed 10 a little
leathern box. one inch and = half
square, which is tEen bound to the left
elbow, BY oo~.hide straps, half an inch
~id", and ling enough to be wound
spirally about the arm down to the base
IF the midlle fiozer. There is sms H.
or ph, laotery for the forehead, the box
for which is scarcely 40 inch square.
1t has also leathern fillet, whio, is
tod At the back of the head, aud then
around to the breast. When Christ
reprcved the Pharisees for m .king
broad their phylacteries { A.n. xiii 5)
he doubtless slluded to their custom of
Increasing this smaller box, 50 .. to
make its diameter three OK tou: inches,
aud couspicuouSly wearing it over th'.ir
eyes to attract the sttant o of the mul-
t'tsde. The original use Of these ply =
Iaeeeries vas, probably, t, serve as re.
mioders Of the law. Excep. by tho
Pb.risees, ~ho paraded them on ali oc.
cssion,, they we're worn only at the
times Of prayer. subsequently they
were put on for charms, like the Koran
among the modern Mehsmmedsns,a aud
were supposed to drive way the devil,
ward Of temptation, and ensure long
life. There is 20 historical reason fcs
believing that they were in use in pre-
exile times. Indeed, from the similar
customs Of the Babylonians and other
Ori .ntsl nations at the time of their
captivity, It is probable that the Jews
learned the practice from their cap.

Yesterday Bishop Feehan performed
the ceremonies of laying the corner
stone of the new Franciscan Monastery,
on the corner Of Market and Third
streets. The ceremony was witnessed
by a large concourse OF people. The
Franciscan friars have been in this city
nearly two years, and preside over st.
Mary's Church. The order was estab-
lished by St. Francis in the early ages.
The General of the order resides in
Rome; the Provincial in Prussia, where
their leading Monastery is located. Prior
Ambrose Jansen has charge Of the
Monastery in this city. The Brothers
live recluse life; are teachers of youth,
and assist the regular clergy in giving
missions throughout the country. They
wear a dark brown cloth habit, heads un-
covered; a heavy cord is tied around the
waist, and on their feet they wear san
dals. Their lives are devoted exclu-
sively to religious purposes and educa-
ton. The building will be three stories
high, one hundred and twenty-five by
thirty eight feet, of the gothic style of
and will be quite an orna.
ment in this portion of the city.

Money matters have undergone no
material change during the week. The
banks continue to loan on first-class pa
per at 1902 y cent, and some have
discounted considerable during the week
at the inside rate, one bank alone hav-
ing taken $95O,OOO in paper from a
Mississippi institution at that rate.
EXCHANGE
has been in abundant supply, owing to
the large sales of cotton and the ship
ment OF currency to Eastern points has,
for the time being, been stopped. Coun-
ter rates are steady at par buying on
cotton bills, and ic premium for Eastern
checks. Transactions between banks
have ranged from 81 to 81 25@l so
premium p $1,000. To-day there we're
small transactions at the inside rate.
GOLD
has ranged from ia to ll44 in New
York; to-day it is ll4l@ll4s, the latter
being the closing rate at noon; $500
was bought by dealer to-day at ll33,
and 800 silver taken at l07.
LOCAL INVESTMENTS
have been unusually quiet; but to day
there seems to be an improved specula-
tive demand. We note bid of 40c
for Mississippi levee bonds, and a sale
of the curreRcy issue, city bonds, be-
tween outside parties at 542c, and a
good demand at that price. On Friday
last SIC, 900 were sold at 54c. 1t is un-
derstood that the sinking fund scheme,
which will undoubtedly be adopted by
both boards of the Council, will enhance
their value elsewhere, and this fact be-
ing known they are sought for as an ia
vestment. There is also an improved
demand for railroad securities, the most
prominent being the second mortgage
bonds of the Mississippi and Tennessee
railroad, inquiries for which are made
at 724c; $4,000 gold bonds, city, were
sold by dealer to-day at 6Oc. Insur-
ance and bank stock are without mate
rial change. We quote other stocks
nominallv az follows.

School BoARD.-The regular meeting
of the Board of School Visitors will be
held this evening, when school matters
will be generally ventilated. There is
rumor prevailing that it is intended to
reduce the salaries of the able corps of
teachers now employed. The salaries
received by teachers at present is at its
lowest figure, and should undergo no re-
duction. Expediency on account of
lack of funds is no excuse. The funds
should have been so husbanded that no
such result should become necessary.
In common with all friends of educa-
ton, we hope the rumor is unfounded
and unworthy of credence.

Passengers from st. Louis who arrived
on board the Belle Memphis this morn
ing report that at Cape Girardeau a
widow lady-Mrs. Jones-got on board,
and in a short time was found in an in
sensible condition in her stateroom. She
held vial of laudanum in her hand,
and on her person was found bottle Of
strychnine, having taken doses from
both bottles. Captain Crane and off.
GERS did everything they could to relieve
the unfortunate woman. Reaching Cot
tonwood Point she was conveyed to a
hospital. But little hope was enter
tanned for her recovery at the time the
boat left the Point. On the upward trip
of the Belle Memphis, Mrs. Jones took
passage at this port. She was conveying
the remains of her husband, who died in
this city, to his relatives in Missouri. At
the time she committed the rash act
above mentioned she was on her way TO
Helena, Arkansas, where her late hus-
band owned trading boat. She gave
no reasons for the act, other than trouble
of mind and WEAKNESS of life, owing to
the death of her husband.

RECORDERS CoURT.-Quiet times pre-
vail in police matters. The city is rapid
ly becoming purified Of crime, thanks to
our efficient police and active courts of
justice. But two State cases appeared
on the docket to-day. William Moore
obtained one dollar from Mr.. A. j.
Wheeler by forging an order for relief
and pretending that he was a Mason in
distress and worthy of relief. The Re-
corder placed him under $4,000 bonds.
Lucy Jones, charged with stealing
clothing from the residence of Mrs.
Jefferson Davis, was arrested yesterday
and will have hearing before Justice
Winters this afternoon.
