of men. the letter of this week might
have remained unwritten forever; but
feel that something is due to the
dear creatures who fed us pap in our
helpless infancy who spanked MS as
we crawled on toward interesting
chiIdhood who destroyed our peace
Of mind in adolescence and who
when we reached the proud estate of
manhood and set up in business for
ourselves, gave MS the sweet privilege
of furnishing them with long trailed
dresses, sealaI,in sacques, eamel's-
hair sliawls, etc, etc. Something is
due to them, aud the appearance of
Mrs. NJ, Miss r. and Mademoi-
selle de W ut The great fashion
able events of the season, must GER
tainly be Il matter of paramount in
tcrest 10 that potion of our fellow
citizens to whom we are under such
deep and lasting obligations.

Dear SSr,-This is to certify that I

9 blood purifier or spring medicine,
it is the best thing I have ever used,
and 1 have used almost everything.

He May Pardon Them.
1Catahonla NeMs.l

If the Governor considers it his
duty to pardon these men, we shall
not accuse him of impure motives.
We do not think, as some Go, that he
should be impeaclIed for SO doing.
He may think that the resolution of
April 20, 1877, applies to their case,
and if SO, no one can blame him for
acting accordingly. Be that as it
may, there is some satisfaction in
knowing one of the great conspira
tors against the liberties of Louisiana
is a convict. When Wells, like An
tlerson, reaps his reward, we shall be
satisfied

In the month of June. 1864, Albert
Cohn made third journey to the Holy
Land. On his way he visited Alexan-
Where he 9oaead tAe~sehaols-wAieh
he had established, in very prosperous
condition, He was received with hon
4ors by the Egyptian institution of that
city, and he lectured before that society
eon Orientalism in Paris" He also
stopped at Cairo, where he found the
schools less prosperous than those at
Alexandra. and tried to put them on a
better footing
At Jerusalem he found everything in
the best order The administration of
the hospital was conducted in the best
manner. There is no uniformity in
the Orient he said, quoting the words
of Renan and of Prince de GALES. The
Apprentice institution " had borne good
fruit, and it appeared to Albert Conn,
who was so apt to yield himself to pleas
ant illusions, that the future Of the jew
ish community of Jerusalem was full OF
hope and promise. A spirit of tolera-
tion seemed to prevail in the Holy City.
The General Of the city, "
zet-Pasha, was very kindly disposed to-
ward the Jews. The Jews had been
frequently maltreated i'll the streets
around the Church of the Holy Sepul-
chre the Christian children ran after
them. throwing stones, and insulting
them when they chanced to pass But
Pater Joseph Carlotti, the Vicar Of the
Holy Land, and Apostolic Penitential
of Jerusalem. gave orders in the pres
ence of Albert Cohn that such abuses
should never occur again. In order to
convince the people that the orders
were earnestly meant, and that the feel
ings were altogether amicable between
the Jews and the Christian church, Al
bert Cohn paid visit to the Church OF
the Holy Sepulchre, in company with
Mr. Altaras, of Marseilles, who was at
Jerusalem at that time. Before he left
she eiity, he held service at the hospital
