very fine one, and was of course
greatly enjoyed, The Cornet, Band
was present for while, and dis
coursed some of the usual fine
music. In the evening, after tho
picnic proper, there was a game of
base ball near the grove between

Apropos Of the war OH the gas

gentleman we'll known in financial
circles a number Of years ago who
was a heavy stockholder in the
Manchester gaslight company. but
died soon after its Incorporation.
Shortly before his death he was
visited by his pastor, who endeay-
ored to solemnize his mind in view
Of his approaching slissolution.
Among other things he asked him
If, in looking over his past life, he
did not see some things to regret
"Yes said he, quickly; ppm d n
sorry didn't take more Of that

The following is published for
the information Of parties inter-
ested in the redemption or pur-
chase Of lands in the levee districts
Of this State. The Legislature at
its session of this year, passed a
law in regard to this matter which
has been promulgated, but on the
20th instant, an injunction from
the honorable the Chancery court
Of Kinds county, was issued, pro-
hibiting me from proceeding under
the provision Of said law. The
hearing Of this cause is fixed on
the fourth Monday of March next.
BY reason of this proceeding, no
redempti0ns of land can be made
under the law approved February
l, 1877, until some final disposition
Of the matter by the court. The
act Of 1877 repeals the act Of 1876
and oil former acts in reference to
redcmptiOns Of purchase Of lands
in the levee district, and as l AIN
restrained from proceeding under
this law, no further retlemptions
or purchase OF lands can be made
in said levec district until the mat
ter is judicially determined. Ap'
plications will be received and filed
subject to such disposition Us ma!
be finally made. Respectfully,
w. II. GIBBS, Auditor,
| and ex.ofllcio Levee Commissioner.

TALMAGE ON A CERTAIN BUsI-
NESS CUsToM.-"T There are pro-
Tossing Christian merchants in
New York." said the Rev. DR.. Tai
mage, "who have clerks employed
in conducting the merchants OF
Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis
through the debaucheries of the
great city, in order to secure their
custom for the store. There are
stores In New York and Brooklyn,
with drawers in which are kept
moneys, which the clerks are to go
and get, that they may conduct
customers through the slums to
secure their patronage, and the
head men Of the firm wink at 1t,
and even demand it. Among all
things Internal, I pronounce that
the most damnable."

The Israelites are numerous,
opulent and powerful body on this
island. 1t is stated that there are
more than 1000 in the community
and very large proportion are
prosperous, while nearly all Of
them are in comfortable circum-
stances. Some Of them are exceed
ingly rich-no one can tell how
rich-for they keep their own d.
nancial secrets, and are generally
unwilling that the public should
know what they are worth. l
have been informed that there are
one hundred Hebrews here whose
estates are valued at 81 .O00, 900 and
upward. The lsraelites are divi-
ded into the old Jews and the mod
ern Jews, the latter having more
freedom of opinion and discardins
many of the ancient traditions oi
the synagogue.
There. are in the city twenty OF
more synagogues, some Of them
very handsome aud costly, while
the majority are plain aud unpre'
tending. The rabbis, or priests
are very differently paid. DR.
