An Interesting Ceremony
at Jerusalem.

A great ceremony, called "The
Burying of the Law" lately took
place in the Spanish Synagogue
of Jerusalem. 1t happens once
every eight or ten years, and is
accompanied by the following
circumstances: There is in the
''Talmud Torah" Synagogue a
subterranean cave, wherein every
old leal torn out from any holy
book, every old woru-cut Bible,
Gemara, and phylactery, is.depos-
tied by all the Jewish inhabitants
Of Jerusalem of every Minhag.
Alter eight or ten years, when
the cave is full, these Old papers
and books are brought out and
made up into bales. This done,
the people begin to assemble at
given time in the afternoon. A
cosher Tor faultless) SePher To-
rah richly ornamented and jewel
led, is brought by the Chacham
Bashi, and carried by him, and
the other rabbis in turn, at the
head Of the procession. He is fol
lowed by other rabbis; next come
the bales, about seventy or eighty
In number, each carried by a Jew;
and then the rest of the people,
The procession slowly winds its
way out of the Zion gate for some
distance along the city wall, and
then descended into the valley of
Jehosaphst, where the burial
ground is situated. Here is very
deep well. wherein the bales are
finally thrown, amidst the singing
of the Joyous crowd.

Some Of the Principles OF
Democracy.

The Albany Argus defines the
principles of Democracy as fol-
lows:
"The Democracy believes that
Constitutions should be strictly
construed, and religiousIy and hon
estly protected and sustained at
the hazard of property and iGe
itself. They hold that Consiilu-
tions. should distinctly provide for
the protection of man, his person,
character and property against ag-
gression of every possible kind
That the Legislative, Judicial and
Executive Departments should
perform their respective duties as
distinct from each other as fro12
other Governments. That laws
should be as few in number as pos
sible, and only for purposes
provide the necessary means oI
carrying on the Government
and educating the young, and nc
more; and for furnishing those
committing aggressiOns upon the
persons and rights OF others and
upon the government, and to pun
ish those guilty Of either. That
no laws should be passed which
in tLeir practical application shall
give special advantage to zone
section OF country, o. one class Of
men, over others; or TO make one
portion of the people subordinate
to another, or to yield them a
share Of their earnings. That all
special Legislation is unequal and
unjust, and should not be tolera-
ted. That beyond the laws abso-
lutely necessary for the above pur-
poses every man sheald be left
perfectly free to pursue happiness
in his own way while he does not
violate the laws or trsspass ON the.
rights OF others. If he chooses
to hunt, fish, or fiddle, drive fast
horses or slow ones, wear long
hair and beard, or shave both, let
him. If he grips or spends his
money he only enjoys his rightful
privilege. If he prefers to wear
his old garments or play dandy,
or to compress large feet into
small shoes, no law should prevent
him. The same things do not
make all men happy or miserable.
1t is the inalienable right Of man
kind TO seek happiness where they
can find it, and governments have
no more right to attempt to legis-
late them into it than to enact
laws to guide them into Heaven"

Beer.


The Germans in the United
States, and those Americans who
affect a iOndness for lager beer,
don't drink as it is drank in Ger,
many. They rush into a res ta-
raunt and gulp down two or three
glasses and move on. Here a Ger
man never thinks Of finishing his
glass oi beer in less than ten min
ules, and to drink it without eat
ing something at the same time,
even ii it is only a crust of bread.
In fact, German in the father
land is eonstitLtionally opposed to
doing anything i'll a hurry, and
especially to drinking beer with
rapid speed" The consequence
Sc is that we do not see men here
with great, huge paunches, as at
home, capable of swallowing a keg
OF beer after supper. They sell
dom treat one a2OtheT, but sit
down to the tables, and although
they drink together each man
pays for what be consumes, wheth-
er it be beer OF food. This of it.
self is great preventive of ex-
cess, as, if half a dozen were to
sit down TO drink as with US, each
must treat in turn, and thus six
or a dozen glasses be guzzled,
whether they want or not. If
our temperance friends could In.
stitute what is called the dutch
treat" into our saloons, each man
paying his own reckoning, it would
be a long step toward reform in
to excess. In short,
beer in Germany is a part of each
mans food. He takesit as a sus-
tenanee and not as a stimalant.

A Visit to an Iceberg.

Recent letter from gentleman
Ion board the United States steam.
Ter Juniata, at St. Johns, New.
foundland, contains this para
graph: "On the 3rd instant a
large Iceberg became stranded at
the mouth of the harbor, and the
Captain wishing some of the off
GERS to go out with him and see
it, | gladly accepted the invitation,
and as soon as our party was made
up we started out in the steam
launch. As we approached the
berg the air became colder, and
we found ii necessary to slip on
our overcoats. We ran alongside
of it and measured it with our
eye, which gave US 35 feet high,
$50 feet broad, and 400 feet long,
and as that portion below the sur
face bears incorporation Of seven
to one we can calculate the depth
of the thickness of the berg to be
$50 feet, equal to 10000 900 Gu
bic feet, or 2S6,225 tons. The
berg was melting SO rapidly that
water was flowing from it in every
direction, preventing US from ap-
preaching very close to it, so we
decided to 60 to smaller one and
cut some ice for our own consump-
ton. We were very successful,
as we brought on board in the
neighborhood of half a ton. A.
bout five minutes after leaving the
berg we heard an explosion, and,
looking around, saw that one end
of the berg had burst off and filled
an area of about 800 feet in length
/ of the width of the berg, so we
escaped an unpleasant dampness
Just in time.

VIE OF GOD.

Like cradle rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, to and fro
Like mothers sweet looks dropping.
On the little face below
Hangs the green earth, swinging, turning,
JarleSS, HOiseleSS, safe and slow;
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching us below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry, and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Hold the closest, loves the best.
So when We are weak and wretched,
By our sins weighed down, distressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds us closest, loves us best.
O great heart of God! whose loving
Cannot hindered be nor crossed;
Will not weary, will not even
In cur death itself be lost
Love divine of such great loving,
Only mothers know the cost
Cost of love, which all love passing,
Gave Son to save the lost.

A man was hanged The other
day at San Francisco for murder
with a weapon OF peculiarly
dangerous nature. This is sand
club, formed by filling an eel
skin with sand. When this In
Istrument was first brought into
use the authorities were greatly
puzzled by deaths, apparently
from violence, Yet 10 marks could
be found on the outside of the
body. A burglar was finally
captured with sand club in bis
possession made out Of an eel skin
stuffed with sard. Being closely
questioned, he explained its use.
When the victim is struck, for in.
stance, OH the head he drops IN
sensible and soon dies from con-
gestion Of the brain. Often the
skull suffers no injury from the
stroke, end if the person struck re-
covers sensibility he generally
relaspses into a condition otidiocy.
Sometimes a man struck on the
body will be knocked down by
the peculiar force Of the blow and
feel no immediate results from it.
In a few weeks, however, the
flesh will begin to mortify under
the line Of the blow and rot
down to the bone. HeIlar,
the celebrated pianist, is supposed
10 have met his death in Mexico
from a stroke of this diabolical
weapon.
