The true spirit Of religion cheers %
well as composes the soul; it banishes,
indeed, all the levity of behavior, all
vicious and dissOlute mirth, but in ex-
change fills the mind with a perpetual
serenity, uninterrupted cheerfulness, and
an habitual inclination to please Others
as well as to be pleased in itself.

A New MOVEMENT TAMoNG THE JEW

A New MOVEMENT AMONG THE JEWS.
There is movement on foot among
the ultra-reform Jews of New York to
hold religious services on Sunday morn
ings for the convenience and profit of
those who do not attend services on Sat
urday. A numbero the prominet mem
bcrs Of the Temple Emmanuel and Tenn
pie Bethel are organizing society for
this purpose, and propose TO hire Chick
ering hall fer place of meeting and to
engage DIR. Felix Adler, Of Cornell uni
versity, a son of Rev. DIR. Adler, late OF
the Temple Emmanuel, as lecturer. II
is intended to have the services consist
of lecture and music by an organ and
choir. The orthodox Jews are extreme
ly opposed to the project, regarding it as
a possible first step towards the substitu-
ton of Sunday for the Jewish Sabbath,
and the engagement of DIR. Felix Adler,
who is known to he ~ leader of the ex-
creme reform party, is taken as earnest
of an intention in that direction. The
orthodox party have started weekly
newspaper of a general religious charac
ter to counteract the teachings Of the
ultra rcformers, and to prevent, if posi-
BILE, the organization of Jewish religious
services on Sunday.-N y World.

There may have been some changes
since that time. In Mississippi 1t is now
sixty-fve cents, and in Alabama it Is
seyenty-fve cents. In Mississippi the
counties, we learn, pay the expenses of
criminal prosecutions, and in Tennessee
the state pays them. II the state had to
pay for criminal prosecutions the rate in
Mississippi would be much above sixty
five cents. The agricultural products Of
Tennessee amounted in 1870, to $50, ,472,-
S07; while it is not proposed by any one
to collect over $4,000. 900 of taxes. or
only one forty-third.Df the annual value
of farm products, and when We remem-
Der that large portion of this 8, ,o00, 900
is To be collected on city property and on
privileges, the tax on farms will only
amount 10 one eighty-sixth Of the value
of farm products. Kentucky, a neigh
boring state, very similar TO Tennessee,
and which has no state debt, collected ,u
1873, $2,Oi6,f ,f74, and had only $S7, Az :
S7A Of farm products In 1870.

WHEN men receive information that
they may possibly be among the heirs ol
some deceased rich man, they immedi.
ately become interested and go to work
searching all the family records to de.
eide the matter. When God tells men
that they may become "joint-heirs with
our Lord Jesus Christ" "to an inheri.
tance incorruptible, undeflcd and un-
fading" they listen to it as idle tales, OF
complain of the tediousness and style OF
him whom God sends to tell them about
it.-Chmch Unior.

smacking his lips "Yes, mamma;

We give below tables which show the
rate of taxation in the various states Of
the Union. The first table shows the
average of the whole taxation, including
the states, county and municipal taxes.
In Tennessee the entire taxation Is six

THE Turkish revolution was a conspir-
acy of the ministers to get rid of sui
tan who had yielded more to foreign in
huence than the pure and unadultcrated
mussulmans could quietly allow. 1t is
the mad protest of the conservatism of
the Mohammedan Turks against Euro
pean reforms and every sort and kind of
foreign Intervention except that which
loans money on promise of interest that
is never to be paid. The new sultan is
an,i-Russian in his prejudices and ten
dencies, and while he can speak French
and has some knowledge of western Eu-
ropean affairs he is more likely to form a
Franco English alliance than one in
which Russia has leading voice. But
the situation Of Turkey is critical, and

A SINGULAR murder case is pending

juggler that he could shoot at him with
a loaded musket without the slightest
fear of hurting him, took him at his word

gler's brain, killing him instantly.

ACCORDING to an exchange, the Pope $
robes are made either of white cloth OF
of red cloth. Plus IX uses five white
cassocks in the course of the year, rs,
owing to his being an inveterate snuff
taker, he soon discolors his outer gar
ments. Each cassock costs $50. The
red mantle which he renews once a year
costs 500. The silk stockings are fur
nished by Belgian house for SIG pair,
but his slippers, which are changed every
month, are furnished by a Roman firm.
An ordinary pair, embroidered with the
cross, is worth s25, but some Of the papal
slippers cost as much as 5000, the cross
being inlaid with diamonds. The old,
cast-oF clothing of the Pope is highly
priced by the faithful, who eagerly bay
it at great price.

The death of Abdul Aziz by his own
hand is the last act in the drama which
began with his overthrow. Driven from
power through the agency Of his own
nephew and trusted friends; deprived
oi his treasure, and treated as prisoner
in his own capital, it is not surprising
that the disgraced ruler sought relief in
death. Rumors were current that his
mind was derangcd. These reports re-
ceive credence in the official account of
the tragic deed which has been sent to
Washington. His death is not likely to
effect seriously the affairs of Turkey.
His overthrow was complete, and the
probability Of his heading a revolt was
very right.

The Next Party Issue.

The st. Mary Herald says:
We sec that the Cincinnati
Commercial, n strong radical pa
prr of the bloody shirt order, has
fallen into line with Boutwell, and
Grant and endeavor8 to prepare
the mind of tie North for the pro-
position to disGranchise the negroes
in the South. IL commenting on
the matter the Commercial says /;
Disfranchiso the blacks and re-
duco the representation down to
the white population, and South
Cal DINA would have two Con-
gressmen instead of five, and four
electoral votes instead of seven.
And Georgia would have five
Congressman instead of nine, and
seven electoral votes instead of
eleven. And Alabama would have
four Congressman instead of eight,
and six electoral votes instead OF
ten.
The South might be solid then
without the least fear that they
ever could control the government
or have voice in its affairs
amounting to dictation.
The South sees this now, and
they would not give up negro suf-
frage if they could. They will
cling to it as they did to slavery,
for it will give them q larger voice
in the government than ever slave
~ did. Nor will it interfere with
the regulation of their domestic
concerns, for they have internal
and external control of the con-
Germs OF every Southern State but
two, and these will come under
their sway in time, and probably a
very short time. 1t seems to me
strange that any one knowing the
history Of the LegrO race in Africa
and America would suppose that
a black party, no matter what it's
majority is, could stand ont for
any length of time against a white
party. Nature has ordained other
wise, and when a joint resolution
Of Congress is set up against q law
of nature, we find to our NORTH
catiOn that the ip0s Of the Joint
resolution $50 to speak are two
weak for equal combat. In other
words, nature has the advantage.
IL ia true that there is q solid
South, and that this solid South
will eventually dictate the policy
of The government. But / do not
believe with some that great disas-
Ter will follow this, or that tho debt
will be paid, or any attempt will be
made IN that direction, or any Of

the results of the war lost. So far
as negro sufrageis concerned, and
that it is justly esteemed q result
of the war, you may be sure that
the Soutlewill never interfere with
that. It happens to be, as they
have found out, and as we are find
ing out, the very thing they
wanted. The stone they tried to
reject has become the chief of the
corner. There will be an uproar
against black suffrage some years
hence, but it will not come from
the South. Without black suffrage
the sold South would only control
itself. But with the enlarged repre-
sentation which black suffrage
gives, they. are in o fair way to
control the whole government.

result Of the war '-Uegro suffrage
