"B'NAI BIRTH" ."-The Independent
Order of the B'nai Birth is Hebrew
organization, diffused over all parts of the
United States, and has the same objects
and purposes as the order of Odd Fellows,
with the exception that only lsraelities can
be admitted into the order. 1t is only
thirty years ago that this order was
started, its main object at that time being
the relief Of the needy lsraelities who
landed poor and fricndless on the shores of
the United States, to extend to them an
aiding hand, to protect and succor the
widows and orphans, and to link the
Hebrews in all parts of the country into
one band of brotherhood, and thus to be
better enabled to cooperate in times of
emergencies. After the order had grown
older and increased in membership, the
plan of its operations was enlarged, and
the beneficient acts it has accomplished for
the welfare of the Hebrew race in this
country is incalculable. In many states it
has founded and maintains orphan asylums
and hospitals, established libraries, educa-
tional institutions and benevolent societies,
by which not only tho members of the
order, but all needy Israelites are benefited.
Largely through its influence the United
States consul to Roumania was appointed,
and the prosecutions of the Hebrews in
that country diminished AT the present
time the organization numbers 17G lodges,
with membership of 1927. The aggre-
gate amount Of funds in its possession
reaches the sum Of $49S, ,706.25, and of
this it expended for charitable purposes

If a law which it was found necessary
to put in force in the seventeenth century
in England were to be resumed to-day, it
would cause an immense downfall to CHG

or degree, whether virgins, wives, or
widows, that shall, from and after this

THE GREENBRIER WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINas.-It has been stated that this
property would be sold after the close of
the present season by order of the court to
foreclose liens heretofore given on it. 1t is
now stated that the property will not be
sold until the western connections of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad were COM
pleted. The Chesapeake and Ohio road
runs one hundred and fifty miles to Hun
tington, which, as yet, has to be reached
by steamers, and liable to be detained one
or two days on sand-bars in the Ohio river.
OF course visitors to the springs, invalids,
&c., will not risk that delay. This year
then has therefore afforded no fair means of
judging of the 'trush of travel" to these
springs from the west, which was supposed
would SO much enhance the value of this
property. Hence the same motive and
reason assigned for postponing a sale of
the springs hitherto continues to exist.

OUR readers will remember how o
short time ago Massachusetts captain
showed that he, and not General Butler,
first applied the phrase "contraband Of
war; to fugitive slaves. Some CORE
spondents of The Nation, have furnished
instances OF an earlier use Of almost the
same expression. The term "contra-
band" was used long before the late war
in The island of Cuba and elsewhere to-
designate those negroes who were taken
from slave ships in contradistinction to-
those who were born in slavery. II tmay
be found soused ontpage los of Captain
Canat, or twenty years of an African
slayer," published by. Appleton in 1864.
"A still earlier and more interesting instance
of the use of the word'in similar sense
was during debate in Congress in 1870,
over a potition presented by Franklin,
calling attention to the evils of the slave-
trade Senator Scott, of Pennsylvania,
made an elaborate speech, in which the
following paragraph occurred: may, sir,
If these wretched Africans are to be consid-
cred as property, as some gentlemen
would have it, and consequently as sub
iects of trade and commerce, they and
their masters SO far lose the benefit q
their personality, that congress may at
pleasure declare them c0nt7abdnd goods
and so prohibit the trade altogether
Clearly this ancient Pennsylvania Scott
may fairly claim the invention of this
nomenclature over either the Massachu-
