Mr.. Jayne's witness Is person about whom
the public knows much less than about Mr.
JAYNE, and the question as to which is most
worthy or most unworthy of belief Is yet to
be settled. But the story of Jayne's witness
as to the way Jayne used him, certainly looks
as if it might be true. For Jayne to carry of
his witness to hotel in Chicago and there
keep him close prisoner Is to do only what he
did again with the same man in New-York.
TO try to brighten his prisoner into surren-
der with revovers and threats of the penlten-
tiary was only a repetition of Mr.. Jayne's
tactics in the days when he kept pair of hand
cuffs hanging in his little dark Office in
the Custom-H House, and set timid merchants
quaking with fear by dangling these Ominous
implements before their eyes. Whether
true or false, Mr.. WestOns story is good

nary examinations, of which we have had about

The loose and awless steer is too frequent a spec
tacle in our streets to attract the attention of the
general public, however lively interest may be
taken in his movements by those persons whose for
tune it is to be thrown for the time, in his society
But the story of Saturdays stampede not only adds
a picturesque feature to what has become common
place incident but suggests the Of lessenlng
the danger that must always exist in a city where
steers enjoy such marked degree of liberty. One
of these fugitives was twice cleyerly lassoed by
military gentleman from Guatemala, but military
gentlemen from Guatemala, it must be remembered
we cannot have always with us. Why wouldn't the
best police in the world be still better police if 1t
were trained IN the of the asso and could swing
a rope as well as a club' 1t might serve turn with
two-legged offenders, and mistakes with rope
would be less serious than mistakes with club are
apt to be.

The defeat which Mukhtar Pasha has in
ficted on the Russians in Armenia attains
greater importance from his having provoked
the combat, and attacked the Russians within
moderate distance Of their own frontier.
If. as Gen. Kendall reports. this disaster closes
the campaign in Armenia, the Russian arms
will be covered with lasting discredit.

Mr.. Hayes and the members of his Cabinet

business of carrying Ohio"

In regard 10 the lively proceedings in the XVIII
Assembly District the other night, Mr. Henry G.
eask wishes it to be understood that he not at
the meeting, that he has not attended any meeting
of the Association since ho resigned the Presidency
of it on the 31st of July and that of his friends
took part in the rum-shop which closed the cx-
ercises of Thursday night. Mr.. Leask believes that
most Of the rioters were Democrats in disguise.
That they were more or less disguised when the po-
hco interrupted their discussions admits we be-
Heye, of little doubt and rs to their being Demo-
cats we can only say that they acted like it.

A remarkable indication Of the spread OF
Darwinan theories is afforded by the
address of Prof. Allan Thomson before
the British Association for the Advancement
of Science, of which the concluding portions
are elsewhere given. The address assumes
throughout that the evolution of living forms
is now no longer disputed hypothesis. IL is
not many years since the truth of that theory
formed the chief subject of brilliant debate III
the British Association. The conservatism OF
men of science in England might have been ex-
pected to bar the general acceptance of Oar
winism in the country Of its birth, for at least
n quarter of a century; but several of the more
eminent naturaIsts of that country have lat
terly taken on this subject the most advanced
positions.
1t is seldom enough that anybody learns by
the experience of somebody else. So that 1t Is
not surprising that woman is found who has
learned nothing from the weary, litigious life
of Mrs. Gaines, but now lays claim, like her. to
the ownership of city, and a property of
many millions. 1t is not likely that the City OF
Lexington will be more willing than the City
of New-Orleans was to become the property
of any one person, and however good Mrs.
Miller's title may be, she is likely to grow as
old as Mrs. Gaines in the business of trying
to establish it. But it is strange that the SIZE
of the Job never seems to deter these people.
1t was well said once that the National DEBT
would never be repudiated-it was too big to
be repudiated So Mrs. Miller might reflect
about her claim for something like thirty
millions 1t is too big a sum to be recovered.
Destructive tOrnadoes occur in our Western
States with sufficient frequency to be regarded
AS somewhat characteristic of certain regions.
High tabe-lands in the interior of continents
are more exposed to violence from winds than
any other portions of the temperate zones.
OF the extreme fury and strength of tor
nado no conception can be formed by persons
who have never seen its work. Against Its
power, if fully displayed, no structure OF
human hands can stand for an instant.
There need be no surprise that the bridge over
the Missouri at Omaha was torn TO pieces when
struck squarely by a tornado, nor does the fact
reflect any discrcdit upon the bridge as piece
of engineering. Fortunately, visltatiOns OF this
sort are comparatively unknown to jewellers
this side of the Alleghanies, since the ranges
of mountains back of the Atlantic coast check
the violence of winds that sweep over the IN
terror of the continent.

The favor with which tho proposal to form
a Central American Union is received by Qua
temala, Honduras and Salvador gives it better
prospect of success than when it was last under
consideration. The unwillingnoss Of Mica
raucua and Costa RIGA to renomce their
sovereignty still exists, but it may be
overcome, should the other three States con-
stitute one Republic. The scheme is in fact
the revival Of the Central American COnfeder-
alton, which existed from 1924 TO 1889, when
it was dissolved, owing, in part, to the lack
of facilities for REORGANIZATION. As That
obstacle no longer exists, the new Union might
have a long existence.

People seem to have scarcely real
lied the fact that Capt. Warren and
his men have actually found King Sol

builders left it, mostly buried, it il
true, under thousands of tons of ruin
and rubbish, but there still, towering

Capt. Warren, whose indomitable en-

which have no parallel in The history
of the world. And there the wall
stands, preserved for US by the ruins
heaped around it--ruins of the Holy
house itself, and Of the city of Jerusa-

on the rock it is sunk into the rock,
into which sockets have been cut to

be marked with Phoenician mason's
marks (such as exist to this day in
the ruins of Tyre and Sidon,) and

work of King Hiram's builders. The
splendor of the stones astonished
Captain Warren. He speaks of their

THE PASSOVER.
How the Crest Festival is Celebrated by the
Hebrews.

The greatest of the three annua
festivals of the jews, the Passover
began on Thursday This festival
In commemoration of the deliverance
of the Israelites from bondage in
Egypt, is celebrated from the 18th to
the 21st day OF Nissan, both inclusive,
thus falling between March and
April, at the time of the first full
moon in the spring. The first and
last days OF the festival are kept
holy by abstaining from all work, by
religious ceremonies, etc. Unleav~
ened bread is eaten during the entire
period. Originally, on the evening
OF the 14th of Nissan, the Passover
lamb was sacrificed and its blood
sorinkled on the door-sill, 10 CON-

and consumed at one meal, the fami-
ly gathering with prayers and hymns

On account of some uncertainty
with respect to the fxin( Of the new
moon by the Sanhedri at Jerasa-
lem, tie Jews who lived out of Pal
estine were directed to celebrate all
.ae.r festivals on two successive
days-a rule still observed by the
orthodox. 81 that by the orthodox
the first two and last two days of
the Passover are observed as holy
days:
At present the Passover feast has
the character OF hsllowed family
feast among the Jews. On the first
evening solemn services are held in
all the synagoguos, after which the
head of each family gathers all OF its
