~ The old year has closed with a sc
rice OF disasters that are calculated not
only to impress upon NJ the uncertain.
ties or life and the perils Of travelling by
land and by sea, but TO awaken univer.
sal sympathy in behalf of those who are
called to suffer in peculiarly distressing
circumstances. The community has
scarcely recovered from the immediate
shock Of the Brooklyn calamity when
We hear off, disaster on the Lake Shore
Railroad, IN which are combined all tho
horrors of burning, drowning and freez.
Ing, superadded to the usual shocking at.
tcndaDts of railroad calamity. To
these are added distressing circumstan.
ces oil bereavement, the impossibility Of
distinguishing the dead. and the still
more harassing uncertainty OF the fate
OF some who are missing. The same
night, in fearful galc,a ship was wreck.
ed on our shores and twcnty.sevcn lives
we're lost. including nearly all the able.
bodied remnant of n tribe of industrious
Indians living on Long Island. From
various directions we hear of minor dis.
asters upon the land and upon the sea.
Little do we know what the wear that
has now opened may have in reserve for

at home or abroad, TO have his house set
IN order and all things made ready for

would comfort with his presence and

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. 1877

Ed. STATESMAN Senator Blaine springs
to the front again, this TINE with Al invita-
ton to Mr. Hayes 10 visit Maine. The par
ty would have received handsome treatment
a. the mansion Of the Senator, for lie is Just
ly esteemed one of the most accomplished
entertainers of the age No man excels him
in those Qualities which make other men
feel "a. home" Bat Of course, Mr. Hayes
had to decline the invitation. Few men ex-
cepf Blaine would have sent it under the
circumstances
The lahor;ng men of Maryland, especially
of cities. are going intO the political cam
paign this fall with IN apparently strong
organization They express determination
to avoid alliances with .all existing political
parties they Cannot of course, elect enough
members OF the legislature to materially 81
feet the legislation OF the State, but COM
pact organization Of :. large and respectable
class must Indirectly produce excellent re-
sults IN many ways.
Speaking of Maryland. l feel bound to
say, on authority of gentlemen so situated
rs to know the facts, that there IS . vast
deal of exaggeration in the late report Of DR..
Chancellor iii the prisons and clar1tatde IN
s.itutioas of that State DR.. C. has perhaps
taken the only course that would have forced
the State authorities 70 make needed reserrls,
but. aside from reliable testimony alluded to
above, it is fair to say, that his report gives
internal evidence of going beyond a fair
statement of existing evils Now that the
people OF the State are aroused, they viii,
as farks possible remedy all that Is wrong.
General GarielIe is In Washington. He
goes hence TO Ohio, and will speak there du-
ring the campaign. Wells and Anderson, of
the Louisiana returning board, are also here.
They colnc in the hope Of securing adminis-
tcation interference to prevent their trial for
frauds connected with their manipulation of
votes in Louisiana last year. 1t is hard to
see how Hayes can use the influence of his
position to help them, but they come in the
hops that he will lind L way to do So
At the war department they laugi, 4. TIE
reported danger TO ten Sherman from the
Indians, aud Though not IN direct conImuni
cation with him, they are assured that he is
entirely safe. There Is lively lear about
Howard, however, as his last dispatches
failed TO repor5 the accustomed victory. Ii
Gen. II. should overtake chef JosepA-but

The late disturbances in many States, and
uncertainty as to the prospects Of business
and labor all over the country, viii have ac-
compiished one good result ii the people Of
other States shall follow the example OF Mary

DEATH OF NOTED JEWISH RABBL-J. D.
Lyons, Rabbi OF the Shearith Israel Syna-
gUguc, on West Nineteenth street, near fifth
s..euuc, died very suddenly at his residence
about midnight Sunday. Lyons was IN his
sixty fourth year. For five weeks past he
has bee;, too Ill to perform the duties of his
sacred Office, but his sickness was attributed
To exhaustion consequent upon Ovcrwork, to-
gether with IN affection of his heart, and
until the moment he expired no fears of his
death wc,c entertained. During an active
and lajoriOus career of forty years In the
Jewish ministry he had never been seriously
Ill before In the death of Mr.. Lyons the
American jews have lost one of the orthodox
committee. He and Rev. NJ S Isaacs, of
the Twenty Fourth Street Synagogue have
been for nearly forty-iiye years the leaders
of the school, opposing with all their power
and influence the inroads made upon the an
eient Jewish ritualism by the new reform
teacherS Alone these two men have stood
out AGAINST all attempts at innovation, pre-
serving In the United States to all intents
and purposes that practiced In the ghettos of
Europe IN the middle ages. He observed
mcss rigidly all the fast-days and festivals in
the calendar attended the synagogue daily
At sunrise, In the afternoon and at sunset.
lie would countenance no changes In the
time-hcnored service of the synagogue no
organ was allowed within its walls its male
and female worshipers were Obliged to sat
apart The men were required to wear
scarfs with the fringes Of blue, and the ven
erable minister himself never took a step
| within its precints without bowling before the
ark, the sacred receptacle Of the scrolls OF
the law He Is understood to have written
for posthumous publication an exhaustive
| history OF the jews In America, containing
extremely interesting facts connected with
their earliest settlement IN this country The
collection of facts bearing upon American
! Judaism was with Mr. Lyons positive ma
MA, and, In order to mss no point, he Kept
a diary In which he recorded every event
! that happeued during his forty years resi-
| denee in the United States, These diar1es
alone constitute large and important event
OF gceaL importance 10 the American jews
| 0f late years Mr. Lyon took great interest
! in the carse Of Jewish education he WAS
one OF the Jewish ministers also who metre
Gently In conference to protest against the
| eytraragant use OF flowers at funerals, and
he frequently interested himself in the cause
| of the Door Jews Of Palestine. OF his pub
lie utterances his sermon at the funeral OF
tie late Benjamin Nathan Is perhaps the best
known. The congregation Is very wealthy,
/ and this is the only synagogue supported by
| Jews of Spanish and Portuguese descent IN
f. this city.
