AMONG the contributions for relief Of
the Memphis sufferers, it seems deserving
Of mention that about sixty dollars have
been contributed by the Israeiites oil this
civ as members Of the the benevolent
order Of B'nai Birth. In this connection
We take pleasure In quoting from Wednes'
DAVIS New York Tribune the following
paragraph wherewith that journal con-
c!udes az editorial on Memphis and
Shreveport: ...
ave note among other contributions to
the sufferers OF Memphis, large contrl6u'
iims from the Jews Of different cities,
and We call attention 10 the fact simply as
nne notes The striking Of clock that
marks the progress the world has made
In lime from dsy 10 day. A few hundred
yeAIs SgO, Christians in every country
were burning and slaughtering ahe Israel
lies u force them to disgorge some oil their
bearded wealth, only 100 lax, they
thought 10 their charity. II the burning
wns not performed on q spit and the
Slaughter prolonged through hours Of tor
,ufe, To-day, The Jew out OF bis abund.
apce stretches forth III eager, saving hand
IN his Christian brother 10 hts sore strait.
We who profess 10 follow Christ should
not suffer those who reject Him 10 prove
themselves his most faithful disciples"

Curious Prophecy.

Iu,he number Of The Modern Thinker
for December, 1872, appeared au article
signed by "a Positive Pledictor," new
said 10 have been written by DAVID g..
CRoLY. Of New York, in which, among
other pre- Lotions, appeared the following:
8 lprcdct that within the coming TWO
wears this country will experience the
worst financial panic know 10 It's history.
Il will be more wide spread and disss'
uous than even that of 1887. All the
debts created by our paper money era
will be wiped out or compromised. Land
will temporarily lall TO one halt Its val
ne.
4 The panic will be precipitated, In all
probability, by the failure Of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. and perhaps the bankers
who manage it This will bring to light
such an amszIng amount Of fraud in CON
nectiOn with our railroads Us 10 dlscredit
ali stocks, good and bad. The bears
will hold 'high carnival. The men ol
most repute IN financial circles and on
the street will prove to be common
cheais.-While the panic will commence,
from al appearances, in railroad circles,
and will be confined Tor time 10 western
enterprises, 1t will spread finally to the
National Banks, aud will develop an
amount of rO;tenuess in those Institutions
which Il now beyond the power OF the
imagination to conceive.

SINCE the first well.deAned suspicion Of
milk az the agent Of disseminating
typhoid fever, evidence has accumulated
Which proves that the subject 10 one Of
importance by no means minor. DR..
RAtesou, medical inspe ctor Of Leeds, Eng.
land, has Just added important testimony
on the subject Toward the close Of the
wear 1873, according TO him, fever ap-
peared in Leeds In isolated places, and In
districts where the sanitary condition was
unexcephonable. The cause for this ior
q while completely batfled discovery; but
at length Il was found that o milk
dealer living in the centre OF the
town supplied every house In which fever
was present But the milk dealer goI
his milk from farmhouse some distance
away, and all within his own house were
well. Upon visiting the farmhouse SIX
persons were found suffering from Inc
disease, living in room adjoining that in
which the milk cans were kept, and
nursed by the same woman who managed
the dairy. OF the eighty persons attacked
fourteen died. A dairyman In Glasgow
having fever in his house, supplied seven,
ty.three families, living in five different
streets, and in these families thirty-siA
cases Of fever occurred.

EASTER. Tomorrow Sunday will be cele
brated as Easter. This is festival in the Chris
| tan church celebrated as the anniversary of the
resurrection of our Saviour from the grave. The
| Christian Sabbath itself-the first day of the
week.-Mrs. its origin from this event. But the
| Sunday upon which Easter comes, is the ami
versary of the resurrection. This event, which
is so universally celebrated among Christians, is
| narrated in a simple but beautiful manner by the
evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the
New Testament and is one of the most important
truths of the gospel. The statements made by
these four sacred historians in reference to the
resurrection of Christ harmonic and carry with
| them such powerful convictions of truth, that
however much skepticism and controversy there
may have been upon many other questions, there
seems to be very little difference of opinion upon
the resurrection Of the body of our Saviour from
the grave. When considered in all its details ii
is calculated to gather around it the browning
lustre of Sacred history, and as such has been
celebrated by the Christians from the earliest
times The word Easter is derived from the Ger
man 0stern, and from the Greek Eos, the name
of the goddess of the dawn, Aurora. The ancient
Saxons celebrated her festival with peculiar
solemnites in the month of April, nearly the time
when the resurrection of Christ was commemora-
ted and il is said that the Christian festival was
substituted in the place of the heather festival oil
| the feast of Foster the heather name being still
retained. The goddess, whose festival was cele.
brated in the spring of the year, is represented a:
drawn in a rose colored chariot, and opening
with her rosy fingers the gates of the east pour.
ing the dew upon the earth, and making thu
flowers grow, her chariot drawn by white horses
and she covered with a veil. This goddess wal
a creation of the fancy, but now the festival o
Easter is celebrated among Christians in com
| remuneration OF real occurrence. They reiOict
in the beauty and splendor of that heavenly lgh
that burst upon our sin-cursed earth on tina
morning when our Redeemer, robed in brigh
majesty, came forth from the tomb. 1t is da,
of peculiar rejoicing, and is celebrated in som
manner by Christians of every denomination
The services, especially in the Roman Catholic
churches, are usually on this occasion of mos
imposing and solemn character. In many of GU
Protestant churches the communion is admins
tered, and sermons suitable to the occasion ar
preached.
