& Hebrew Meeting,

The meeting in the. Central Presbyterian
church on Sunday to hear Rabbi Rosen-
spitz was largely attended and his remarks
gave very general satisfaction. His TEN
peratc, kindly manner; the absence Of de-
nuncia Atom of other sects; the charity
shown to all, aud the clear, intelligent, and
eloquent enunciation of his ideas were
pleasing to all. His subject was Rays OF
Divine Light and Truth c)ace rning Man
kind" In his opening remarks he spoke
Of the dependence of all upon Common
T ather and Of the equal interest of all in
the goodness Of His providence He said
tie rays Of Divine Light were Truth, Vir-
tue. knowledge-the crown of them al
being tie Bible from which these rays pro
cee3 lie said that the Rabies compare
the c u.mandment of God TO lamp, and
the teachings to the oil. The oil of the
Bible he claimed to be as good now as il
ever was or eyer viii! ,be,-and yet many
churches, claiming to have both lamp and
oil, had neither; had no light at all, OF
a very dim one Even this he said would
be endurable, -but in addition to darkness,
they have also smoke, which is offensive tc
man and to the Most High. The smoke
he maintained, is composed of intolerance,
bigotry, hypocrisy, zealotism and often
fanaticism He urged upon his hearers,
having both the lamp and the oil, that
that they be careful to have light, which
even if dim, was better than often sive
smoke.
In regard to Truth concerning mankind
he said, in describing the progress of the
human race from the earliest ages, that
the happiness, prosperity and general wei
fare of mankind, and of civilization, rests
on four pillars on which the following 10
scriptions, in flaming letters, are found
viz: Mutual duty towards each other.
| Universal Liberty" Universal Love
Universal fraternity" and he wanted
these engraved on the hearts of the whole
human race.
In summing up, the learned Rabbi ap
pealed to his hearers to rally around these
four great pillars, and, for the sake o.
human happiness, and even for the sake Of
human liberty, every one should fulfil his
duties towards his fellow man, and to the
whole human family, by promoting en-
lightenment, justice, truth, love and lib
erty,
This is very brief and imperfect state
ment of the subject of his learned and elo
quent discourse, which was listened t,
with marked attention, not only by tn,
large number of Jews in this city, but b.
large number of Christians.

The New Rockford Management.

Saturday mornings regular train from
St, Louis brought along the excursion car
of II. Osterberg and party. who had been
over the lower part Of the r. r. |. Il St
L. r, r. on tour of inspection, After
breakfast, the car with Messrs Osterberg.
Skinner, Trumbull, Ferry, Cook, Richards,
and Sup,t Loosely, left for Sterling, where
Messrs Ferry, Cook and Richards took
the G. & n. W. road for Chicago. Mr..
| Osterberg and his party then returned to
the Cleveland coal mines, where, with Mr..
B. j. Perrin, agent for the railroad, and
Messrs. John II, Baker aud H. E, Haml-
ton, coal rroprietors, they made a thorough
inspection of the mines.
From Mr.. Hamilton, of the coal firm OF
J. H. Baker Il Co., we learn that Mr..
Osterberg has terminated the joint or pro
rata coal tariff heretofore existing between
the Chicago & Northwestern and tn
Rockford, Rock Island & st. Louis COM
panios, and that he requires local rates
for all coal passing over the Rockford road
Heretofore, through Perrin agency, some
5000 to 5000 tons month were sent
over the G. & n, w. road, but the effect
of this new move will be to put an end tc
coal business over the G. & N. w. and
nearly close the mines of j. II. Baker &
Co., Taylor Williams and Col Alfred w.
Perry, near Cleveland, and perhaps, to
some extent, increase the business of the
Happy Hollow mines and the Western
Union road-though we hear that the C.
& n. W, will hereafter get its supply from
La Sale.
Inasmuch as TIE c. & N, W.. some
months ago, terminated the joint rates OF
Chicago freight and thus deprived the
Rockford of any business in. that direction
it is probable that Mr.. Osterberg took thi.
course as a retaliatory measure, expecting
by dcpriving the C. & N. W. of its Goa
supply, to bring about compromise anC
a restoration Of joint rates all around.

Three MILAN Girls in a Dangerous Posi-

ton.
We learn from Mr.. P. Heverling,
that, on Sunday afternoon, three young
ladies, Misses Mary and Bridget Ryan and
Rose Canim, living at Milan, went out in
skiff above Johnston's -four mill, and
were having a splendid time, when all al
once the oar-lock got out of order and the
strong current was carrying them toward
the dam. Fred Heverling, and two OIL
three others, seeing their danger, sta tee
in another skiff to rescue the young ladies
Owing to the strong current the men were
obliged to leave their skiff and climb OF
the dam, while their skiff was carried ovel
the dam, They then turned their atten
ton to the young ladies, whose skiff wa
rapidly nearing the brink of the falls, ant
finding that they could not reach the boa
in time, called on the ladies to jump upor
the dam and hold to it until they arrived
The three girls obeyed, and their boa
shot over the dam just as they did so
With the assistance of the men the young
ladies waded. on the dam, to the Milan
shore, thankful that the accident was NJ
worse than a good ducking, and probably
severe cold, The boats were recovered
below the distillery.
