Boston Blue Blood.

A correspondent of the Boston Ga
dares to relate the following
"A lady of position in New York, aud
the daughter Of a man distinguished
in the world OF letters, Glanced to be
crossing the Atlantic in a Cunardcr
for this port. She was accom-
by her daughter, who had been
in Paris several years at a convent
school. Among the passengers were
certain representatives of the first
families OF Boston, one who claimed
a I live English lord as a distant rela-
tive; a fact, indeed, of which the
representative took care tqinflFm the
company at an early period at the
voyage. During the ten days i9 which
they sailed the waters blue the New
York lady and her young daugh-
ter were coOlly ignored by the
Boston party but as she was
a decided cosmopolitan this neg
lect of good fellowship aroused
merely a feeling of amusement, and a
passing remark upon the code Of po-
Likeness followed in the Hub of the
Universe. On the last day out, while
the passengers we're assembled at din
ler, some reference was made to a
first family of Virginia, and the
speaker turned to the New York lady,
saying she should know about tho case
in nQipt, as il was believed she was a
connection Of the family. Yes, was
the response, but we are no nearer
than cousins. Why, Mrs. ,

The IsracIites in Convention.


New YORK. July 9.-The sixth
council of the Union Of American and
Hebrew congregation resumed its SEES
sion to-day. Rev. DR.. Silventhal, chair
man of the special mission on the
course of duty from the Hebrew Union
College, presented a unanimous report
on the subject, in which he said he
was happy to say that all the differ
enees between the clergy had been
settled.
The report was unanimously
adopted.
Rev. DIR. Mendes, chairman of the
committee on Union College, pre-
sented a report recommending at once
the establishment of a college and the
erection of a building for such pur-
poses in Cincinnati, and adverse to
establishing a branch college in New
York, owing to the fact that until the
college proper in Cincinnati is fully
established no branch is permissible
according to law. The report recon-
mendcd an appropriation Of $500 for
a preparatory. After an amendment
to the effect that the committee is OPP
posed to the establishment of a
branch college in New York because
it was in conflict with the organic law,
the report was adopted.
The chairman of the COMMITTEES on
the Sabbath question, presented a re-
port pertaining to the preservation of
the Sabbath institutions, which was
adopted.
Mr.. Isaacs presented a report in
favor of circuit preaching, and the
appropriation of one thousand dollars
to supply deficiencies in congregations
unable to pay. The report was re-
committed.
A letter was read from x-Gcyernor
Seymour giving his views on the sub
Iject of land culture. lie said that he
had watched with interest the
plans of the Catholic Church
to get its people into the coun-
try and to make their homes
on farms. He deemed it a wise poll
cy and wise to have those of a differ
ent faith so placed at the outset so
they can keep in their respective
places of worship. He had no idea
but that the Hebrews would become
good farmers. A recess was then
taken.

was exchanged and got a furlough, he
concluded to keep up the delusion a
little longer. He went over to Indiana,
to the quiet place where his dead
friends sister lived, and one day called
incongnitO at her fathers residence on
some excuse or other. He was usher

began a conversation while waiting for
the old gentleman TO appear. Soon
the girl looked at him curiously then
she sprang to her feet aud cried, You
