MORE TROUBLE WITH THE WHITE SULPHUR
WAITERs.-There was another excitement at
the White Sulphur Springs, Friday, among the
negro walters. Mr.. VIM. T. McCue, who leased
the cigar stand there, son of Judge j. II. Nc
Cue, OF Staunton, he's been very much dlsliked
by the walters since he interfered some time
ago in behalf of young Bradley, of this city,
who they were attacking, and on Friday one of
them grossly insulted him. He knocked the
fellow down, as he did two others who came at
him. This was followed by general assembly
OF the negroes on the lawn next day, to the
number of over 200, with violent threats against
young McCue, who quietly armed himself, de-
termined to stand his ground at any cost. The
clerks Of the hotel prepared themselves to aid
McCue if necessary. Col. Geo. L. Peyton, the
proprietor, addressed the negroes, telling those
who were peaceably disposed to retire from the
crowd to their quarters, while those who were
determined on violence might remain and take
the consequences, which would be serious to
them. The negroes then dispersed. Young
McCue, who had not been at all disturbed by the
threats Of the negro mob, remained at his post
until his lease of the cigar stand expired last
Monday, when he returned home-Tfndicaso7

The JEWISH NEW YEAR.-Last Saturday
was the commencement of the Jewish year
1898. reckoning from the CREATION, and was APP
propriately observed by the Israelites of this
place. While, therefore, letters are dated A.Sep-
TENDER 8, 1871 as with Christians, this day is
still the first day of the month of Tishrei in the
year $685. This festival is one of those COM
manded in the Scripture :-"And the Lord
spake unto Moses. saying, speak unto the chill
dren of Israel, saying, in the seventh month,
in the first day of the month, shall We have d
Sabbath, memorial of blowing of trumpets,
a holy convocat on. LEV, xiii, %, "a.
To this day the traditional cornet or rams
horn is publicly sounded in all orthodox syna-
gegues in the new year, The notes sounded
are the same everywhere, and are traditional,
so that the devout Of Israel probably still listen
to the identical tunes at which the walls OF Jer-
icho fell before the victorious Joshua. Satur-
day being the Jewish Sabbath, the trumpet
was not sounded, this ceremony being post
poned until Sunday, when the orthodox cele-
brate duplicate holdayin their synagogues.-
In the temples" as the places Of worship of
the reformed or rationalistic sect of the Jews
are called, the conventional rams horn is not
used, nor is the second day observed.
The first ten days of Tishrei are cslled Aasares
Yemy Thesuva, the ten penitential days, and
the Sabbath occurring September 10th is called
Sabbath Shuva. This name is derived from the
Haphtorah, or conclusion, the reading of which
is part OF the New Year service in the syna-
gogues. The history is that Antiochus Epipha-
mes. after conquering the Egyptians. made war
with the Israe!ites, and, conquerng them, gave
orders to burn all their books and prohibited
the reading of the weekly portion Of the Pen
tateuch. The Israelites then selected certain
chapters from the books of the prophets ceres
ponding as nearly possible to the text of the
Pentateuch, and these chapters were read in.
stead and are called the Hephtorah-hencere read
ing on this occasion at present time. Monday,
the Sd of Tisheri, is the fast of Gedaljah, in re-
menabrance of his assassination.

Almost ~ bright as Heaven.

Butas his ,Js-his loving wife

The shadows of shis mortal life
And all its sunshine TOO.
Then, too, a vision came tO ne
The vision sOad not smother,
For in my dream, heard a voice
That sreesly whispered -" Mother"

And heard the sound of feet
And round my heart | did entwine
4 love - strong and street.
In nv dream, | wandered DER
The land of bliss and Joy
For standing by that little girl
Was laughing blue-eyed boy.
Then my heart cOgld not stand
Another ray OF light,
For smiles and sunshine everywhere,
Did ever greetpy sight.
But soon a voice did come 10 me
And loudly boldly spoke
All from tina, bright and happy dream
NV slumbering senses woke.
Then liir, in all iIs colors true
To ms so strangely seemed,
And then found, that had slept
So sOundly s!ept-snd dreamed.
