DEATH OF JULIUS d. LYONS.
RABBI OF THE SHEARITH ISRAEL SYNA-
GoGUE, NEW YORK, THE Most AR
DENT OF THE DISCIPLES OF OLD
JUDAISM

New York correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer: Julius D. Lyons, rabbi
of the Shearith Israel synagogue, on
West Nineteenth street, near Fifth aven-
ue, died very suddenly at his residence
about midnight, Sunday. Lyons was in
his sixty-fourth year. For five weeks
past he has been too Ill to perform the
duties of his sacred Office, but his sickness
was attributed to exhaustion consequent
upon ver-work, together with all atfec-
tion of his heart, and until tho moment
he expired 10 fears of his death were en-
tertained. During an active and labor
ious career of forty years in the Jewish
ministry he had never been seriously ill
before. In the death of MI. Lyons, the
American Jews have lost one of the or
thoGox committee. He ana Rev. S. NJ.
Isaacs, of the Twenty-fourth street syna-
gogue, have been for nearly forty-iv
years tl4e leaders Of the school, opposing
with :1ittheir p.swer and influence the in
roads made upon the ancient Jewish ri
tualism by the new reform teachers.
Alone these two men have stood out
servingin the United States, to all intents
and purposes, that practiced in the ghet-
tos Of Europe in the middle ages. He
observed most rigidly all the fast-days
and festivals in the calendar; attended
the synagogue daily at sunrise, in the
afternoon, and at sunset. He would
countenance no changes in time-honored
service of the synagogue; no organ was
allowed within it's walls; it's male and fe
male worshipers were obliged to sit apart.
The men were required to wear scarfs,
with the fringes of blue, and the venera-
ble minister himself never took a step
within it's precints without bowling be-
fore the ark, the sacred receptacle of the
scrolls of the law. He is understood to
have written a for posthumous publica-
tion an exhaustive history of tho Jews
in America, containing extremely inter-
esting facts connected with their earnest
settlement in this country. The collcc-
tion of facts bearing upon American Ju-
daism vas with Mr.. Lyons q positive
Kept a diary, in which he recorded every
event that happened during MS 1orty
years residence in the United States.
These diaries alone constitute a large and
important event of great Importance to
the American Jews. Of late years Mr..
Lyons took great interest in the cause
of Jewish education. He was one of the
Jewish ministers also who met recently
in conference to protest against the ex-
travagant use of flowers at funerals, and
he frequently interested himself in the
cause of tho poor Jews of Palestine. OF his
public htterances his sermon ut the funeral
of the late Benjamin Nath all is perhaps
the best known. The congregation is very
wealthy and this is the only synagogue
supported by Jews of Spanish and Por..
tuguese decent in this city. The funeral
will take place from the synagogue on
Wednesday afternoon

she should endeavor to mako her peace

he sat down to pen letter making

was an exceedingly pleasant and lady

melancholy and latterly . little wild and
excitable in manner. Her body. lies at

- An editor is the happiest being on
ear.h. He has little or nothing to do,
and his pay is all that heart could wish.
His sanctum, with its Persian rugs and
Turkish carpets, its costly rosewood fur
niture, its magnificent mirrors, its beau
tiful pictures, its complete library of
splendid bound books, its buffet stocked
with the finest of wines, liqours and ci-
gars, which cost him bnt o puff or two,
its silver bell to summon an attendant
whenever julep or cocktail is want
ed, and, in short, with its everything
that human ingenuity can devise for his
comfort and pleasure, is perfect para
disc, where he sits ON lounges and reigns
o young lord, with the world OF pleasure
and fashion at his feet. Aud then any.
body can be all editor-nO study, no pre-
paration, no brains, nothing but little
money to start with, and once started
the money pours In upon you in q steady
stream, and the chief labor of your life is
to spend it. As for the labor of editing
q newspaper, that is mere moonshinc.
A mere glance at the columns of news
paper is enough to convince you that it
requires no labor to edit it, and less
brains. It is certainly q glorious life,
that Of an editor life of luxurious easo
and of elegant leisurs-a life for the gods,
filled, like that of the young lover in his
first stweet dream Of requited love, with
flutes and rose leaves and moonbeams.
s'While not wave of trouble rolls
Across his peaceful breast" g."
and that all men are not editors is one of
the strangest things beneath tho stars.
True, there must be doctors aud lawyers,
merchants and shoemakers, and peanut
dealers and the like, and all these cafl-
ings must be filed by somebody, but
there are enough to fill them, and why
they don't become editors and lead the
life of opulent princes is q thing that
stagggers us. But after all, it may be
that it is matter of taste. 1t may be
repugnant to some natures to be clothed
in purple and fine linen and fare sumD-
tuously every day: and of course it would
never do for such q nature to become All
editor; the life Of ease and elegance and
luxury, and exemption, from all care and
toll and debts and duns, would soon be-
come bore to him, and he would spend
his nights in dreaming of plows and
pitchforks and reaping machines, and
squahder his days in devising some plan
for swapping places for blacksmith's
apprentice or a street-car driver.

1t wouldno doubt be highly amusing
and at the same time astonishing, to see a
complete list of all the expressive and
powerful names of the multitude Of
short-lived medical preparations placed
upon the market during the past few
years as 'cmost wonderful discoveries
and .infallible cures Unhoes1gno-
vinces ,) by interruptions spectators
and Adventures who recognizing the
value of advertising seek by these
means to obtain public favor and popu-
larity for their doubtful and so often
entirely worthless and even dangerous
preparations. And It is a genuine
pleasure for us to commend DR.BULL's
|CoUGH SYRUP as n o fthe few really
deserving medicines offered to the
public. Its adoption by many %
our intelligent Physicians is due only to
its real worth and merit and by thous-
ands of families it is regarded as "the
standard household remedy"

Music TEACHING.-Miss Virginia
Carder, who has just completed her ar
engagements as music teacher at Edin-
burg, is DESTROYS of securing a situation
in some family if possible. She gives
instructions on the piano, organ, guitar
and several other instruments. She is
a graduate ofthe school for the blind in
the d. D. & B. I. at Stanton, and
by her own effort supports herself and
an invalid mother and sister. Miss
Carder is n of the most agreeable
companions in the family circle and is
eminently qualified to give abundant
satisfaction as a teacher of music. Any
one giving her situation will get value
received besides aiding a deserving and
unfortunate blind girl in her laudable
effort at supporting herself and family.

TOBACCO RAISING IN AUGUSTA
In the neighborhood of Greenville, in
this county, tobacco raising is going
ahead. Mr.. N. NJ. Green, who last
year made his first experiment in a
small way, and was successful. raising
some fine leaf. has this year set out
25,000 plants. The pine lands in that
vicinity are very suitable for tobacco,
and the light, sandy soil along the foot
of the mountain is not only fit, but
cheap. Several other farmers have
gone into it, and there is little doubt
that they will meet with success
Farmers that diversity their crops this
way ale or the sure way to wealth.
We have seen a sample of Mr.. Green's
tobacco, and it is Of fine quality

on Saturday the 9th inst. The wound
was Of a painful, though not serious
character.
The accident was the result Of
careless trihing with fire arms, and is
II nor added to the many serious
accidents. which have resulted from
thinking that ''it was not loaded" A
statute imposing a heavy fine for point
ing a gun or pistol, loaded or unloaded
at any one would prevent many serious
and fatal accidents.
