WEDNESDAY EVENING. JANUARY q.

PA1MERsToN's BAsKET.-Itsppearst that dur
ing Lord Palmerstons long stay at the War Or
flee he instituted communication between his
own room and the Registry. A basket always
at his eide could be drawn at any moment on q
signal, into the Registry, and returned TO him
in the way in which it came Whenever VS.
itor called on Lord Pslmerston, he was slWsy $
desired to send in his name. The name was AZ
opce placed in the basket, whisked into the Reg
istry, and returned with all the papers RELAXING
10 the VISITORS case. When Lord Palmerston
had listened to his applicants preliminary state.
ment. he used to interrupt him TO say: dear
me, it's very remarkable, but have your case
.ctuslly before me now" and, diving his hand
into the basket, produced the very papers. The
delighted applicant departed with the conviction
that bis own grievances had been engaging the
Minister'S attention all the morning. This an
ecdote furnishes clue to the hold which this
able sstute and good humored statesman obtain
ed over his political friends.
PUzzLE.-Two Arabs sat down to dinner
and were accosted by 9 stranger, who requested
to join thei. party, saying if they would admit
him to eat only an equal share with Themselves.
he would willingly pay them the whole The
meal consisted Of eight small loaves Of bread,
five of which belonged to one Of the Arabs, and
three to the other. The stranger having eaten
third part of the eight losves. laid before them
eight pieces of money, saying, my friends, there
is what promised you; divide among you &C.
cording to your rights" A dispute rose respect
ing division of the money, but reference being
made to the Csdi, he s6judged seven pieces to
the owner of the five loaves, and only one piece
to him who owned the three loaVes. Yet Inc
Csdi decided justly.

THE HEBREW SABBATH.

ORGANIZATION OF AN ASSOCIATION FOR ITS
STRICTER OBSERVANCE
Amovement has been on foot for some time past
among number Of the Jewish congregations IN the
city to devise means for the better observance Of
the Jewish Sabbath. About two weeks ago
ference was held for the purpose in the rooms Of
the Young Mems Hebrew Association. No.
ITO West Forty-second street. which was par
ticipated in by number of prominent
jewish ministers and lsymen. DR.. Blumenthal
presided that occasion. and in response
to the suggestions then made by him it was thought
advisable form an association the general object
of which would be to check the public and private
dissertation of the Jewish Sabbath in this city, and
to promote by all MEANS as far lay in the power
of the association, its strict observance. The second
meeting was held last evening ut the same
place. with DR.. Blumenthal in the chair
and Rev. A. S. Isaacs secretary. There
quito large attendance present, and
all seemed anxious to forward the movement
The suggestion OF the chairman. that all who were
above stated should come forward and sign their
names. was responded to almost unanimously. 1t
was moved that committee of i've be
appointed permanent organization. which
motion was adopted, and this committee
on subsequent motion increased to nine
The committee as appointed are as follows:-Rev.
Henry S. Jacobs, Rev. r. De Sola Mendes Nessrs.
l.. Arch, II. Kahn, Julian Nathan. Joseph HONG,
l.. Lewengood and A. Wof Jr.. DR.. Blumenthal
being member OK ofiicio. Rev. DR.. Kohler
who was present. said he hoped that all who
signed their names members of this asso-
citation would not only become supporters
of the movement themselves but that they
would keep the fourth commandment. and see that
their servant and their maid servant did work
the sabbath day. The violation of the fourth
commandment was, he said, sore wound on the
body Of Judaism, and he hoped to the day when
the idea with which this association started
would assume tangible shape It WAS decided to
place, subject to the call OF the committee.

IL think so. 1t wouldn't pay to run the cars for
the sake of the old men and women that would come
on to them. II they cut down tho number of cars
one-half to save expenses they wouldn't run often
enough to satisfy people waiting on the sidewalk.
and these would go of to the nearest rapid transit
station. 1t will go worse with the street whom
the Second Avenue line Is opened and suppose the
elevated roads don't want to reduce the five
cents all day at present, because the rush would bo
so great that they'd have to employ more and
conductors and go to moro expense than would pay
them ut I've cents fare.'
