OBSERVANCE OF PUR1M.

Last evening the orthodox Jews met In their re.
spectve synagogues and observed che Feast OF Purm
with religious ceremonies. Besides the usual Sab
bath evening prayers the Megillah, or Book or
Esther, was read and intoned from the beginning
to The end. Several OF the faithful had their parch-
ment scrolls containing the history, which they I'M
rolled as they read, and at certain PORTIONS of the
narrative EXPLANATIONS OF wonder and surprise or
thanklulness broke forth from the congregation.
According TO Tamudic authority the story was
written by sacred INSPIRATION and, like the roll Of the
laws, IL Is copied with the utmost exacttude vel
lum and Is everywhere read aloud TO the assembled
congregations as part OF the services OF
the day. Tradition also says that the book
was written under the immediate eye OF Ahasherus
and Incorporated with the royal records OF the Per-
SLAMS who, as followers OF ZOrOaster, would hardly
have been disposed to confess the superiority or the
true God. Hence the name OF the Deity. according
TO any or HIS appeiati0ns, Is nowhere directly ex-
pressed in the book or Esther. The spirit In which
the day was Instituted continues TO the present
day, and to-day, after an early morning service In
the synagogue, there will be inauguarated general
season or social entertainments In the families OF
the orthodox lsraelltes. The young men who for
merly celebrated the day with ball 10 the number
OF Two hundred kept the festival last Thursday at
DelmonicO's and tonight several such entertain
ments on smaller scale Will be given and enjoyed
throughout the city, and Joy and gladness VIII reign
abroad.

PALM SUNDAY.

To-day Is Palm Sunday, celebrated by the Church
in commemoration of the triumphal entry OF the
Saviour into Jerusalem. For the past week, since
Passion sunday, the Church has been calling to
recollection the passion or Christ but to-day she
joins with the multitude in singing HOsannah as the
Goldman enters Jerusalem IN triumph, with palms,
the emblem OF victory, strewn along the way. But
she Is not unmndlul OF the type OF this rejoicing
which occurred among the Israelites In
THE PROCESSION OF TIE LAMB
which was atterward to be inundated, and blends
with the joyous halling OF the King the prayers aud
mournful chants which should precede the scene on
Calvary. The day has been celebrated from the
earliest ages, though at what precise time the
Church first began the blessing OF the palms is un-
certain. Far back as the fourth century the Gus

CRUELTY TO A LITTLE dIRL.--A little
girl about ten years old was taken to the
Adams street station-house last night
with her back all covered with bruises
and marks of inhuman treatment. She
stated that she had been thus cruelty
beaten. by Mrs. DIR. Hinson, with whom
she has lived. Awarrant wasjssued for
the arrest Of DR.. and Mrs. Hinson by
Squire Spellman this morning, charging
them with cruel and inhuman treatment,
assault and battery, etc The little
girls back was covered with cuts and
bruises, from which the blood flowed.
The wounds were inflicted with a cow
hide, which must have been used in a
most unmercifnl manner. The child
also stated that it had been the habit of
the Hinsons to punish her by taking
hold Of her ears and lifting her from the
ground, and the marks of violence on
the ears Of the child seemed to corrob-
crate the statement The parties will
have an investigation before the justice
this afternoon.

odd FelIaMs, picnic.

The Odd Fellows picnic at James
Park yesterday was credit to the gen.
tlemen who compose the Order in this
city. The committees who had charge
of the preliminary arrangements did
their work thoroughly, and all who were
so fortunate, as to be in attendance at
the picnic yesterday or last night en-
joyed themselves as picnicers rarely do.
The elite Of the city were out and made
a general holiday of it, and long will
they remember the pleasure and enjoy
ment of the Odd Fellows picnic. A
goodly sum of money was realized by
the sale at fabulous prices of articles of
value to the worthy members of the Or
der and their wives and daughters,
amounting to nearly thousand dollars,
which will eventually be used for benev-
olent purposes. We congratulate the
Odd Fellows on the SUCCESS of their pic

COTTON.

The Liverpool market has advanced l-l6d
since yesterday, butas yet New York fails TO
respond in a way satisfactory to holders; it is
more than probable. however, that the latter
market will be Influenced a triAe within the
next few days by the " bulls " who last year
at this time got the best of the . bears" in
their May shorts. and compelled them to settle
at a great loss. keeping the price up the bal
anee of the season. Another reason why prices
should advance is that a great portion Of the
seed planted in the country tributary to this
market has rOtted in the ground from the dry
weather without roofing, and in numerous in
stances planters complain that they are un-
able to obtain seed. nearly all that saved
having been sold TO the mills. and they are
without seed to replant. Sales yesterday were
less than 400 bales. To-day there is some i'm
9rovement in the inquiry, but the views Of
sellers and buyers are too far apart to make
les, but few small transactions were re-
portsd. We quote the market nominslly as
