In his recent speech in New York, Mr..

Take all the election rows and riots and

the elements disOrderly at times, and put
them all together, at all the elections in

to put on record another thing, that since
the surrender of General Lee-I state this
from official data-I am not making
loose or random assertion-I am stating it
from evidence that would be accepted by
any court, little stricter evidence than
that with which it is proposed to assail
the Treasury of the United States for war
claims-I am putting it on evidence and
evidence that would have been accumnIu-
lative a hundred fold if the men who
could have testified freely had dared to
testify desire to put another fact, on
equally reliable data, on record, and that
is this: That since the war closed in 1865
there have been more men murdered in
the South for political opinions-and that
is, murdered for being Republican,
there have been more men murdered in
those eleyengears, in the South, for be-

A JEWISH mARRIAGE RITE.

In New York city, on the 23d ult.,
Jewish marriage was celebrated in Pytha-
goraS Hall, in Canal street, and though |
the form differed from the rite of the or
thOdoX Israelites, it still retained suffi- |
cient of its Oriental origin to make it in
tensely impressive and solemn, and to |
mark the difference between the orthodox
and reform Jewish forms. Rabbi Wise
Otticiated. The large hall used during
the winter months for dancing, was clear
ed of all furniture, save a rich turkish
mat spread under the chandelier, and
small table, on which was spread a white
cloth, and on which stood two tinny
glasses filed with wine. The gas was
lowered as Rabbi Wise, dressed in his tola
"a circular silk cape, over which hung a
long white band, embroidered with gold)
and his black silk baret, entered, follow
ed by large number Of men, who kept
their hats on. All turned toward the
east, and the Rabbi chanted a pIaintive
but beautiful Hebraic melody, which was
responded to by the assemblage. This
was the prayer for the groom, and dur
ing its continuance the participants
SWayed their bodies and bowed deeD
when JehoYah's s name was mentioned
After the prayer, the Rabbi, followed by
the men, ascended the stairs to the wO-
mems sitting room, where the bride was
seated among her bridesmaids, fianked
Rabbi drew the BRIDES veil over her head,
blessed her, and prayed for her future
! happiness. During this prayer, spoken
in German, many wept, and the old wO-
men sobbed aloud. The groom then gave
his arm to the bride, and together they
descended to the large room, followed by
the Rabbi and the rest, keeping step to a
merry wedding march played by an or
chestra. The couple to be united stood
on the soft mat before the table, on the
other side of which DR.. Wise took his po-
sition, chanting first in Hebrew, and then
in German. Concluding a long eXhorta-
| ton % the pair, he said; cit is given us
/ in Holy Scripture that after the Hood the
dove went forth and returned with the
| twig-be thou that dove, and bring to
your husband peace and love-" One of
| the glasses of wine were handed to the
bride, who drank and gave it to the groom,
| who also partoOk of it, and the Rabbi re-
placed it on the table, praying again in
Hebrew. The second glass was similarly
used and replaced, and the Rabbi crossing
over stood directly in front of the couple.
Putting the brides hand in that of the
groom, the latter encircled the third fin
ger with a golden band, and the Rabbi
said: ''God's will be done; have mar
ried this man and this Woman.'' Then
followed a short prayer, and finally the
couple were blessed, the Rabbi resting
his hands on their heads.
Afterward there was a banquet, with
} dancing. Julius Borchard and Rosa
KNAPP were the bridegroom and bride.

Magnificent Spectacle that Seen from the
Deck Of Ocean Steamship.
{Sunday Mercury.)

Capt Kengut of the steamship State of Penn
sylvania, from Liverpool, reports that at about
3 o'clock on the morning of the 12th inst, while
the steamship was in latitude 4SS 50 north.
longitude AGE So west, the cry of " sail ahead 7"
came from the sailor on watch. In an instant
all eyes were turned to the horizon, where a
large white object, apparently vessel under
full sail, was outlined against the cloudless sky.
As the steamer gained upon it, it was seen to be
an iceberg. The night was clear and illumi-
mated only by the faint light of the stars Tow
ering fully $50 feet above the sea, and sweeping
msjestically Onward in the current, the iceberg
gil tered like huge diamond as it reflected
back the faint light of the stars above, and bor-
rowed an additional charm. The iceberg had
evidently been subjected to the heat of the
sums rays for some time, because, to quote the
Captains expression, " it appeared to be liter
ally rottipg away" chunck alter chunk, and all
perforated with crevces from which miniature
riVulets were streaming, became detsch ed from
the main body of the iceberg, t1mbled down It's
sides with q lond cracking noise, and disap-
peared in the depths of the ocean,
To the north of this iceberg were many
smaller ones, forming very pleasing picture.
This group of icebeFgs lay directed in the tr8ck
of the steamer, and she WAS consequently
obliged to make detour in her course to avoid
them. They were safely passed, however, and
had almost ceased to be a topic of conversa-
tiou among tie passengers, when word
was again sent from the sailor on watch
that another iceberg was visible on the
larboard bow. This iceberg was fully
twenty miles off, but was such an i'm
meuse one that it could be distinctly seen
from the deck of the steamer. 1t had a wild,
unearthly appearance, and looked for all the
by fissures and chasms. 1t was tipped with
snow which sparkled in the beams of the
morning sun 80 brightly as to render good
long look at it exceedingly painful.
