are docking and doing largely OF the busl-
ness of this land. These enterprisipg people,
with rare business intelligence and acumen,
seem to know as if by intuition where the
best commercial localities are, where the
country is most prosperous, and there you
always find them helping to build up the
country, law-abidng, good citizens. The
Jewish South, published at New Orleans, in
its issue OF the 2G,h inst, speaking OF Judas
ism ia the south, says:
Times have changed considerably.
Fifteen yesrs sgo the jewish
congregations In the south could
be numbered on ones fingers. The few old
standard congregations In New Orleans,
Charleston, Savannah, Richmond and few
more cities, have always ertyed the respect
of Israel rs frst-class communities, and have
in most instances been served by pious,
learned and God-fesripg men, who were
ornaments of the ministerial profession.
Theu, as well as oday, it was the consum-
nation of high and laudsble ambition to
be called to administer to these congregations
in the name of Israel's God; and people unac-
quainted with real southern conditions,
would wonder from afsr off that in these
regions the Jewish congregations we're i'm
bued with such lofty aims. The rapid in
crease of the population Of this country has
brought proportionste number of lsrael-
ties 10 the southern land. With character
istic energy they have sought to be successful
Id have succeeded. We rejoice to say that
commercial life has not altogether blinded
them to the necessity of paying attention to
their own spiritual welfare and the religious

and Dixon, from the Atlantic coast to the
borders of California and Mexico, lsrselites
have pitched their tents by the roaring sea,
the placid river, the rugged mountain and
the fertile valley. From Florida to Texas
new Jewish congregations arc formed, young
mems associations called into existence, and
provision made for the education Of the
children. Nearly everywhere there is evil
dence of religious life and activity, even in
the face OF obstacles which prevent sue
cessful accomplishment of the religious
mission.
We see accounts of scarcity of water in
oil the great cities. St. Louis, Now York
Richmond, Chicago and other impoItan,
points, as well as Dallas, are having trouble
on account Of the scarcity, the quality snt
the price of water. We presume it is tn,
bad water of the land which has led to tn
results set forth 10 the following from
Philadelphia Times:
A great deal has been said and written b.
the advocates of moderate drinking abou
the substitution of beer for Dlcoholic liquor
and the consequent decrease of drunkenness
among the people. The experience of two
decades shows conclusively that no such re,
suit is to be attained. Beer making and
beer drinking have increased enormously in
this country, but beer has not taken the
place of spirits nor has intemperancs dimin-
ished. The manufacture of native spirits Of
all kinds has kept pace with the increase OF
population, aud the importation of foreign
liquors and wincs that may be strictly clsssed
as alcoholic is at present actually in excess of
the ratio per head for any previous time in
our history. The consumption OF beer is
wholly aside from the regular and seemingly
inersdicable vice of dram drinking, and Is a
mere superAuous dissipation. We do not
yet fairly rival the heavier beer con-
Stunning countries Of the old world,

other ingredients have ally business in beer
and none arc added save to put money in the
brewers purse or to crafty the ignorant or
vitated taste of the consumer. Vast guam
titles of slops are sold under the name OF
beer, which are mere termentated intusioDs
of corn meal, aloes, and occasionally slfyChS
