PERsoNAL.--The Maryland Prince
Georgian says that "Colonel Daniel, the
Conservative candidate for attorney gene
raj of Virginia, has gone to attend the
Horticultural exhibition at Boston-carry-

OF pears and peaches ever seen in the old
commonwealth" We think there is some
mistake about this announcement.

1T was most unfortunate circumstance
for John I'll. Mitchell Tor John Mitchell
Hipple) that he permitted himself to be
elected to the United States Senate. ellis
.vaulting ambition o'erleaped ITSELF" IF he
had been content to remain in private life,
or even If he had been satisfied with an
than that of senator, the misdeeds of his
early life would have never been paraded
before the eyes of the world. He seems to be
a man of fine talents, and in the new state of
Oregon, remote from the scene OF his early
misfortunes, he might have lived a reputable
life, and transmitted to his children an
honorable name. But as soon as he chal-
lenged public criticism, by accepting a
high office, the unsayory story Of his first
marriage, and the domestic difficulties
which drove him to the west, found its
way into the newspapers, and directed the
attention of the whole country to the dis
honor which was attached to his name. The
Republicans of Oregon, at their recent
state convention, refused to demand his
resignation, because they could find
nothing to condemn in his conduct since
he became citizen of that state, and be-
cause they are unwilling to hold man
responsible for the errors of his youth,
who has teen so conspicuous for ability
and patriotism in his mature manhood.
We rather admire their devotion to the
man whom they have honored so highly;
but we think that Mr.. Mitchell would feel
happier at his home in Oregon than in the
senate chamber. He may be certain that
the "resurrectionists' Of the press, who
dug up the story of his marriage, will not
allow him to rest. Every speech that he
makes will provoke insulting comment,
and many of the newspapers will persist in
calling him by the name which he bore
when Pennsylvania lawyer. qa atE

ARCHBISHOP BAYLEY, of Baltimore,
has made very sensible suggestion with
reiei ence to the liqour question, and one
which is specially interesting as showing
how a prelate would interfere with intem-
perance. The position which he assumes
is that any real good government would
enforce an inspection of liquors or stop
their sale altogether. By inspection he
means not q gauger's inspection, but a
technical analysis, which would at
once expose the poisonous compounds
with which liquors are adulterated,
and which are responsible, not only for
the quality deleterious to health, but, to
"a large extent, for that influence which
maddens and demonizes men and leads
them to the commission Of crime. There
can be very little doubt that law which
would enforce such an inspection as this
and punish its violator by confscating and
destroying his liquors, with the additional
penalty of fine and imprisonment, would
60 far towards reducing the present increase
Of crime. 1t is at least much more
practical idea than the theory that men can
be legislated sober.

PHILADELPHIA, September 16.-The

IN the vicinity of Eighth and Carpenter
streets. capturing one hundred Italian boys
and their padrones. The children are now
gathered in the Second District station
house, where an interpreter has been
employed to hear their statements. These
children, it is alleged, are held under some
infamous system of bondage by their
masters, as has recently been exposed in
New York and other cities, being sent into
the streets with musical instruments, or
for the purpose of begging or otherwise
collecting money for the padrones, who are
supported by their earnings. Ii is also
alleged that some Of the children have been
poorly fed and cruelty treated. The police
are going on with the investigation.
In the raid on italian children the police
made one hundred and fifty-two arrests.

The APPROACHING JEWISH HoLI-
DAYs.-On Saturday the services in the
synagogues of the city were all prepara-
tory to the great Hebrew holidays which
begin q week hence The rabbis in their
sermons admonished their congregations to
penitence and charity during the coming
week, which, as the last week before the
Ten Penitential Days, which begin with the
Hebrew new year, is surrounded with
solemn traditions, and is piously observed
by the orthodox Hebrews. Penitental
prayers are recited every morning at an
early hour. the trumpet is blown in the
synagogues, and other services preparatory
to the most solemn holidays of the He
biews.
With next Friday will begin the Hebrew
New Year, or according to the Jewish
calendar, the first day of the year 5G34,
since the creation of the world. This is
the most important festival of those of the
ancient faith. 1t will be the first of the
month Tishri, which begins the sacred
year, the civil year beginning with the
month Nisaw, and dates from the day
when the hosts of Israel achieved their in
dependence Of Pharoah, and resumed their
position as nation. During the month
Tishri there are several impor-
tant holidays. After the festival of the
new year will follow the days of repen-
tance, which Immediately precede the Day
of -Atonement, which occurs on the tenth
day Of the month. AT this time all
differences, of whatever nature, are
settled, and the occasion is one OF much
solemnity. Four days after the atonement
the feast of tabernacle will begin and
continue for eight days. Formerly, and at
the present day, the Hebrews dwelt in
tents erected on their premises. After
the feast of tabernacles comes that of
rejoicing over the law, that law which was
transmitted by Moses. @ssF

CITY NEWS.

| JEFFERSON WARD TO THE RESCUE
The Old Dominion club rose in its might las
night, and led by the indomitable Major T.. B
| Cook, president of the club, and candidate
for city sergeant, took Old Market Hall by
storm. After doing so, the Major presided
with his usual grace and dignity. A Mr..
Beard, of this city, was the first essayist.
He announced himself thorough Republi-
can, and then proceeded to prove that he was
so by giving Conservative men and measures
the most hearty endorsement. Mr.. Beard
deals in spirits, and there was during his
harangue some very uneasy ones about
him, caused by frequent visits to the club
room, and to Frischkorn's, Sadler's and
Gubernatof's. Finally Mr.. Beard shaved
himself down to fine point and exuded,
much to the relief of his numerous and
vociferous, ifnotrcspectable, auditory.
Colonel Joseph Mayo, jr., then mounted
the rostrum and gave brief blast on his
Democratic bugle. His oratorical donator
was conate and finished, and delivered in
style to "bring down the house, mot
physically, but metaphorically.
Captain John S. Wise gushed in a.
spread eagle effort of sixty minutes dura-
ton, and he concluding, the ''awjience"
was dispersed with a benediction by the
president Of the club.
A correspondent says of the above meet
ting /: "The Old Dominion club is under
the management of the following knights
of the locust, practiced clubbiters, viz. /:
Captain Jack Wren, Dan Wren, Bob
Craddock and Jim Tyler and the attor-
ney of the club is Samuel M. Page, who,
when not politicating the club, is chiefly
engaged in hunting sample merchants.
