MARSHALL. Texas. August "a WELL
known writing teacher just from Shreye-
port, informed your correspondent to-
day that a distinguished Austin, Texas.
divine said in Louisiana the other day
that if Northern necks were all in one II
would afford him infinite pleasure to
WELD the headsman's axe that decapi-
tated the body. Those present seemed
TO indorse the sentiment thus expressed.
Inasmuch as have recently de-
livered Il series of lectures in
Shreveport, La, i suppose this dis

hesitatingly disclaim any such sem
timents and can only explain the
peryersity of the above statements
on the supposition that the author
must have been that eonfiding lis
tener who was sound asleep in the
rear of the church. The sentence to
which | suppose he refers was sub
stantially as follows: Il do not lay
claim to any great degree of spir-
itual development, yet | must be
permitted To draw somewhat ON my
limited experience in support of
this point. | remember that during
the war, when / was but

his corn cribs, threatened to burn the
house, etc, etc. My feelings became
so intense that | felt then if all the
necks were in one neck, could have

peace reigns I; religion has taken the
place of passion, aud, long ago, L

of the lecture. | am not a politician,
but | am deeply interested in the
success of the Democratic party, and
feel it due to it and the people of
the North to say that the above is a
fair sample of "bloody shirt-wav-

who represent the Southern min
istry or people believing for blood

POLITICAL NOTES.

Gen. Grant and Mr.. Conkling
are going to meet at Indianapolis
soon to start the enthusiasm for Gar
field in Indiana.
Daniel Ermantrout has been
nominated by the Democrats of the
eighth Pennsylvania district to sue
coed Hester Clymer in Congress.
-.Itis more than probable" says
the Cincinnati Commercial, .'if Gen.
Garfield is elected he will continue
John Sherman at the head of the
treasury department if Mr.. Sherman
will eoati8ue to remain in it, No
doubt. The ties that bind the two
distinguished Ohio Republican to-
gether are warm and stfeRg. They
were co-visitors to Louisiana in 1876,
and co-partners i'm the foul transac-
ton of mingled bribery and perjury
that made a president of their mu-
tual friend Mr.. Hayes, and they have
been friends and conhdants ever
since.

The seven BIBLES of One world.

The seven bibles of the world are
the Koran, of the MOhammedans;
the Eddas, of the Seandinavians, the
Try Pitikes, of the Buddhists; the
Five Kings, of the Chinese: the
Three Yedas, of the Hindoos the
Zendavesta. and the scriptures of
the Christians. The Koran is the
most recent of the seven bibles. and
not older than the seventh century
of our era. 1t is a compound of
quotations from the old and new
testaments, the Talmud and the
gospel of st. Barnabus. The Eddas
of the Scandinavians were first
published in the fourteenth century.
The Pitikes of the Buddhist con-
tain sublime morals and pure aspi-
rations, but their author lived and
died in the sixth century before
Christ. There is nothing of excel
lence in these sacred books not found
in the bible. The sacred writings of
the Chinese are called the Five
Kings, liking" meaning web OF cloth
or the warp that keeps threads in
their place. They contain the best
sayings of the best sages on the
ethicopolitical duties of life. These
savings cannot he traced higher
than tho eleventh century, BIC. The
three Xedas are ancient books of
the lIindoos, and it is the opinion of
Max Muller, Wilson, johnson and
Whitney, that they are not older
than the eleventh century ID. G. The
of the Pcrsians is the
grandest of all the sacred books
next to our bible. Zoroaster, whose
savings it contains, was born in the
twelfth century, B. G. Moses lived
and wrote his PentateGch fifteen
centuries b. c.; and therefore has
clear margin of three hundred wears
Older than the most ancient Of the
other sacred writings.

demonstrations of grief, followed BY

of them seem to be in earnest about
the matter. Captain Railston, ac-
companied by four raw recruits,
stationed himself at the cor
ner Of Main and Lamar streets,
and they each made a talk TO good
sized crowd that had gathered
around them. exhorting all TO come
TO Christ. They sang several revival
songs, and after the farewell exhor-
fafiop of the evening had been deliy-
cred By Captain Railstop, he and his
squad returned to tho camp, where.
later at night, services gere held,
which were largely attended.

Jewish Holidays.

The Jewish New Years Day,
Rosh Hashanah, 1.-The beginning OF
the year," corresponding with our
first day of January, comes this
year on the 9Th day of September.
1t falls on the first day of the tenth
month, according to the Jewish cal
endar. Last year it came on the 18th
of September. All orthodox Jews
keep the festival through two days.
The reformed" and the "liberal"
Jews devote but single day to it.
Yom Kippur, or ebay of atone
ment,' will fall on the 18th of Sep
TENDER. 1t is the great fast day of
the Jews. However a Jew may fall
back from the faith of his fathers.
two habits yet link him to his
church; one is the observance of
1om kippur, and the other is to
pray for the repose of the souls of
his dead parents on the anniversary
of their death. Yom Kippur is a
very solemn fast for twenty-four
hours. The fast is complete, not
even water heipg allowed. 1t higgins
at sunset on the preceding day and
IN sulCilll CCICltlOuiUl. ~ ldN Or
lite aud powerful tradition is that
Rosh HaShanah closes the years
record, and thence till Yom Kippur
angels scan and dispute the record,
but on that day the status of every
Jew is fixed for the new year. From
the services Of that day every Jew is
believed to so forth with CON
science pure toward Gdd, having
forgiven all enmities and sought also
Gods forgiveness for all transgres-
sions. In newncss of spirit, recon-
ciled to both God and his fellow-men,
the jew closes the solemnityof Yom
Kippur, which he began with re-
ligious service, with mind eased of
offense toward his Creator. This ex-
perience happily tits him for the
feast of tabernacles, which follows
five days after the day of atonement,
and continues seven days, hut only
the first and last days are full holt
days. 1t is the great harvest festi-
val, and closes the series ofnew year
