DAY OF


How the Occasion il Observed,
With the appearance Of the stars .to-mor-
row evening commences Yom Kippur. or
the Jewish Day Of Atonement, which con-
tinues for twenty-four hours. On the
evening Of this day confessions Of sins are
made, and the Divine mercy is implored
by heads OF households. On this day, too,
friendships which may have been broken
during the year are r~ecemented, and all
feelings of enmity toward one another are
buried. All business Of whatever nature
is suspended. aud the places Of our Jewish
merchants will be closed from Friday until
Saturday evening. The Call truthfully
saws there is a moral to be drawn from the
strict observance OF their customs and ira
ditions by the Jews which other sects and
nations would do well to heed. In the
past their Independence as a nation was
destroyed new religious systems have
been drawn from Hebrew sources the
ruins OF their Zitn have become sacred to
a large portion of the faith-professing peo-
pie Of the earth-yet still the Jews cling
20 their ceremonies. their traditions and
their filth. The same yesterday, to-day
aud to the end.

GRANTS WELCOME.
On every side I hear pleasant wishes for
the safe arrival of Gen. Grant, and an
eager expectancy is indicated for the click
Of the telegraph to start the bells with
their musical wtlcomes for one who has re-
ceived more attention than any other liv-
ing man. We are a nation Of Nero wor-
shippers, but rarely have we ever accorded
so much adulation to the hero while living,
and if Gen. Grant survives such demon
STATIONS without running wild with van
ity, surely will he prove himself, what the
nation claims him to be, a level-headed
man.
THE WEATHER
Is cool and serene. An old time Indian
summer haze envelops hill and vale, and
''gives to the mountain the azure hne,"
that leads the memory distantly backward
to u early days, when in the peaceful
content of childhood we went n~utting in
the old home forests, and lazily lolling on
the brown sere leaves gave fight to fancy,
and cherished hopes that-have never been
realized.
All well, that was long before the adj
vent Of silver mining in our land, a taste
Of which has changed our natures. until
intoxicated with the desire for sudden for
tune our blood bounds through the veins
with u speed not conducive to reflection
over the dreams Of childhood's contented
days. But the Indian simmer reminds us
OF the hazy dreams of the long ago. and
the contrast with the present feverish life
urges us to renewed e~xertion to keep pace
with the spirit Of the age. Truly yours.

A ELAINE that Chief Brown Could
not Quench.

Says the Virginia Chronicle OF Monday:
Among the arrivals reported this morning
were James Brown and wife, This means
that Jas. Brown, Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department, was married yesterday. No
one around this office knows the name OF
the lady whom the distinguished fire fighter
took as a partner. The boys say that
Brown slipped off and got married on the
sly. He will soon know az much about
hooks and eyes as he ever did about hooks
and ladders, The Chronicle joins with
insurance companies and the property
owners of the city in wishing that Brown
may never hear the fire-bell at an unusual
hour, and that his wife's hose will never
need mending while he lives.
