The Tallnud.

Jews, Protesfants, and Romanists all
agree IN receiving as canouieal the
books OF our Old Testament. But as the
Roinanists would add to these the
apocryphal books, So the Jews insist on
on adding their oral law. They say
that when the written law was given
to Moses, inscribed on two tables of
stone, God also gave another and yer.
bal Law explanatory of the first, which
he was commanded not 10 commit to
writing, but to deliver down by oral
tradition When Moses came down
from the mount, they tell US that he
first repeated this oral law to Aaron and
his sons, and then TO the sew
enty, AMI finally to all the
people, each of whom was obliged
to repeat 1t in his hearing, to insure its
correct remembrance. .Just before his
death, they say, he spent month and
six days in repeating 1t to them again;
and then, they assert, he committed il
in special manner to Joshua, through
whom it was impaired TO Phineas, and
50 on through the long line of prophets,
aud afterward of teachers, down to the
time Judah the Holy, who lived In the
second century, by whom il was COM
United to writing lest it should be lost.
This work, consisting of six books, is
the famous Mishna of the Jews, which,
With its Gemara, or commentaries, con-
5sltuteS their celebrated Talmud, in
which is comprehended all their learn
ing and much of their religion as peo-
pie. The whole work is held by them
in Ter higher esteem than the Bible, so
much so, that they say the Bible is
water, but the Talmud Is wine; and
they even declare that he who studies
the Bible when he might read the Tai
mud does but waste his tune; and that
to sin against the latter Is far worse
than to sin against the former. 20 i'm
plicit is their confidence In this oral
law, that ii is almost useless to reason
with q Jew out of the Old Testament;
for he is ever ready with an answer
from the Talmud, with the authority
of which he is fully satisfied. .-Tryon
Edwards, in Scrihner for February. 4

A SUIT of general interest to shippers was
brought in New York q few days since by
James Kirby against the Central Railroad
Company. Kirby wished to ship ZOE sheep and
lambs from Buffalo to New York, when the
railroad officials there insisted that before be
could ship the sheep he must consent to con-
sign them to the Union Stock Ward and Mar
ket Company aud sign contract to that effect
on which was endorsed in red ink, "Subject
to regular yardage charges, as established by
the stock yard companies" Kirby signed un
der protest. On arrival here he demanded the
sheep, rendering the freight, but they were
refused except on payment of $40 additional
for yardage. Then he brought this suit for
conversion of the sheeep. He is partner of
Seymour & Co., who themelves have stock
yard, and the purpose was totest the question
of the power Of the Central Railroad company
to impose conditions of this character upon
shippers Judge Barrett decided that there was
no such coercion by violence or irreparable
injury as to make the contract, entered into
knowingly though with priest, void, and dis
missed the complaint. Seymour & Co. have
brought an equitable action in regard to the
same question to enjoin the New York Central
from imposing such conditions In that
action an injunction has been gianted and the
suit is now upon the calendar, likely to be
! tried within few DAYS.

A few years since Major Whittle felt
himself called to his present work, and
wisely brought to his aid that prince
of sacred song, the now Iamented Bliss.
Their work has been much in the Dor.
der States of the West, and great suc-
cess he's attended it. Mr.. Bliss heard
from his soldier comrade the story of
the Allatoena Pass. Inspired by the
thrilling tale. he saw in it, as BuuyaH
before him in like scenes, the story ;n
a figure OF man conflict with the pow
ers of evil, and the presence Of his al
mighty and delivering commander.
IL this we owe Mr.. Bliss's stirring
hymn, so often sung by Mr.. Sankey,
and now bt comes almost our national
military march:
Hold the fort. for am coming,
Jesus signals still;
Wave the answer back to heaven
