AN INTERESTING CEREMONY
How ihe Or,hodox Polish Jews Hurry
Their ueAd,

thotf Uthui
Mrs. Joseph simon, aud her dangh'
ter Rachael, the victims OF the tefrl'
BILE Kerosene accident ~ Troy, u few
days ago, were members OF the eX-
treme Orthodox sect OF the Polish Jews.
In accordance with the rules Of that
body In the absence a0t II rabbi, she
nearest relative OF the deceased Is au.
lh0rized TO 0illciate, and the husband
and father accordingly conducted the
ceremonies al the funeral AZ the
house the bodies were laid upon the
lloor and shrouds were wrapped around
them. A large number OF candles were
placed around the bodies aud lighted.
After chanting and reading prayers
the bodies were placed in two
rough boxes, two tea cups We're
broken and fragments were
placed over the eyes of the departed.
The exact meaning OF this act does not
seem to be generally understood, but
the opinion OF the best Hebrew authors
ity Is that II Is In accordance with an
ancient custom when vessels OF differ
ent kinds were broken and placed In
the collins. Others say that the pieces
are placed over the eyes TO prevent
the dust from getting in. The unfor
tunate deceased were then conveyed to
the burial ground aud on arriving at
the grave the lids were removed from
the collins. A serious obstacle Mt this
juncture caused o temporary delay; but
one grave having been dug and accord
ing TO AN old Jewish doctrine each
corpse must repose In separate grave.
Superintendent Kelly soon prepared
another grave and the ceremonies pro-
ceeded. Two bags about twelve inch
es deep were filed with sand,
and one was placed in each coffin
This action corresponds to the sprink-
ling OF dust over the graves OF chris.
tians. In ancient times the Jews did
not use coilius, but simply covered the
dead with shroud and placed them
In the ground 30 that they might de-
compose AS soon IA possible. Two pad
locks we're then produced, one being
placed in each coffin, locked and the
keys thrown away. This action is
supposed to LOCK up the fate of the
family so that no misfortune may
happen to the living relatives. The
clothing of the deceased was then
rent, in accordance with o custom
dating back to the days of the patri-
arcLs 1t is sign of mourning, as 1t
is recorded that Jacob on hearing OF
the death of his son Joseph tore his
garments. The lips were then re-
placed, and when the collins had been
lowered into the graves, the clothing
worn by the deceased at the time of
death was gathered together and placed
in the respective graves. This action
is also pursuance of very ancient
custom, which ordered that in the
event OF any sudden death all the arti-
cles found on or near the body at the
time OF death should he buried with
the body, so that in case they should
be needed at any future time as evil
dence the Judicial officers would know
where TO find them. Many of those
present then pushed three bandfuls Of
dirt each into the grave, and, after re-
citing prayer, started Oh their return
home.

crime Consi,mnea.

Buffalo Courier: The cause ofrepub-
lican defeat, Of which the republican
spokesmen and organs say the least,
was unquestionably the principal one.
A large number Of honest and patriotic
citizens must have felt that the republi-
can party is not entitled to theirsupport
until the crime committed by the per
version Of the peoples will expressed in
the presidential election has been atoned
for. The republican party to-day finds
itself deprived Of the fruit of the crime
and threatened with dissolution. IL
despairs its own future now that u
finds that the intelligence and moral
sense of the people are not so blunt as
the conspiratOrs supposed when they
consummated the great wrong.

Lancaster Farmer: Neither cattle
nor horses should be stalled in dark
stable, as all animals require light in the
day>time. A horse kept for months IN
n stable would be liable to become blind,
In regard to- light in swine pens, wri-
ter says that two sows having filters on

but warm, temporary sites, and had to
occupy them till about the middle OF
the month Of April, when, for each SOW
with litter, one of the permanent sites
was opened by selling the occupants
At that time the pigs which had been
kept in the dark temporary sites proved
to be less lively than, and much inferiN
or in weight and size to those of any OF
the litters raised in the less warm but
well.lighted permanent sites, notwith'
standing that the difference in age was
very small, and that food and care had
been the same in every respect. One OF
the filters born on the 18th of January,
which had accidentally the best>lighted
sty, though situated in the northwest
and consequently coolest corner Of the
frame building, exhibited the most rap

18th of January, which had the darkest
sty, had made the poorest.

The north and south.

Charleston Journal Of Commerce :
Ever since the formation of the govern
ment its powers have been used to
build up the north at the expense OF
the south. The south got honors for
its sons and the north obtained pecuni'
.ary benefits and advantages in every
sort of way. By the establishment Of
the United States bank centre Of
credit was established at the north.
By protective tariffs foreign goods were
excluded and northern cities were made
markets for northern manufactures
forced on the people at high prices
BY the navigation act northern snip,
ping was given exclusively the coasting
trade of the whole country by IN
ternal improvement bills millions upon
millions have been expended on north-
ern rivers and harbors, while mere PIT,
tances have been grudgingly accorded
to those of the south. The whole his,
tory of the United States is a record OF
money taken from the south through
the agency of the federal government
and given to the people of the north.

General Pope, the post commander
at Fort Leavenworth, got head put
on him at the Leavenworth races last
Saturday. He found the brawny fists
of Kansas City Irishman worse to
encounter than the serried ranks OF
the rebels of the army of northern
Virginia 1t happened this way: Cen
eral Pope had consented to be Judge
of race with two other persons at the
Leavenworth fair last Saturday. There
was some little dispute between Ed.
Corrigan, the owner of Dictator and the
driver of the Dacotah Maid. The driv-
er of the Maid run Dictator into the
ditch at the start; but as Corrgan had
overheard conversation before start
ing in which it was stated that "Dic-
tatorn should be declared out on ac-
count of foul driving, Corrigan kept
cool, and waited his time. He got his
horse out of the ditch and started far
behind and allowed Dictator to crowd
up slowly until he reached the last
quarter, when he let him out and won
the race by at least sixty feet. Corri-
gan went to the judges stand and met
the driver of Dacotsh Maid coming
down. He said: 81 understand you
have been making complaint against
men III have not, Mr. Corrigan."
Upon your honor ?" "Upon honor i
have not" Corrigau went to
the judges stand and asked Gen
eral Pope If complaint had been
made. He said no. He had hardly
got done asking the question, when
the Judge, II. d. Rush, announced the
race for Dacotah Maid. Corrigan pro-
tested, and the judges ordered him Oft.
Corrigan said the race was a putup
job, regular swindle; that Dictator
had won the race. He was then as
sailed 10y the entire posse, including
reporter oftLe Leavenworth Times,
who sent out the associated press dis
patch on Saturday night, from whose
chin Corrigan yanked out a handful Of
auburn whiskers. He knocked Rush
heels. over head, and gave General
Pope such a trouncing as he will never
forget The indignant Kansas City
Irishman would have no doubt cleaned
out the entire Leavenworth outfiC had
it not been thought prudent to change
the decision of the judges.

New York Express; There seems to
be some bare possibility that the infa"
nous divorce laws of Utah will be
broken up. The matter had become so
fragrant that the attention of the grand
jury was called to it, and when an ex>
animation Of the probate court was
made, it was discovered that no less
than FIVE hundred and four divorces
had been granted by this one court in
the last three years. The laxity of the
divorce laws of the state had enabled
lawyers to become rich in pursuing
claims, and the nefarious business was
being carried on to an alarming extent
When the Utah laws are rooted out the
attention of the legislators should be
turned to some otner of the western
states The divorce laws OF the country
should be uniform in every state, and
thus prevent immortality and the en-,
richment of legal harpies.

Cronin's homeward journey

there were thrilling incidents con-
,nected with it. At Virginia City
The Chronicle tells us good deal
of excitement was created by the
announcement that Cronin was
on the train: "When the train
came in, a man with small car
pet sack and an immense two
compartment nose got off and
walked up the platform. That's
him. cried every body. 'Hurrah
for Cronin = 1t was afterwards
ascertained that the man was not
Cronin at all, but a party from
Frisco who fell out of a three
story window last week, striking
on his nose, and the accident
caused the organ to rise with vo-
luptuous swell. Then erysipelas
set in and made it look like the
pictures Of Cronin."
