The proposed gifS to Mrs GARFIELD has
called out the crcditable fact that there is
now living in the city Of New York a
former United States senator who during
his term in Congress rendered important
and entirely legitimate services to some of
his constituents, who thereupon. as mark
of their appreciation, offered a valuable

could not afford to buy her.

large numbers Of other young men in the

AprOpos of jefferson Davis's statement
that few of the Confederate troops to
who heard the dispatch announcing
Mr.. Lincoln's death cheered, Col. WM.
JOHNSTON, OF Charlotte, n. c., who read
the dispatch to them, says he is certain
that there was not the slightest cheering
or demonstration of any kind. He heard
three or four gentlemen express regret in
a low tone of voice, and noticed the very
serious countcnancc of those who were
standing around. The dispatch was read
a second time in the public square of tho
town, "when an individual in tho crowd

Rev. DR.. KCHLER, leading Jewish
rabbi, of New York, who has inaugurated
the opening of his synagogue on Sunday,
instead Of Saturday, puts his action OH the
ground that in largo measure only the
women and children of Jewish congrega-
tions are able to attend religious services
on Saturday, the meu being compelled, in
the keen competition of city life to give
themselves to business on that day. That
he has not taken this important step with
out due reflection appears from two fore
ible sermons delivered in Chicago in 1878
and 1876 before the Sinai congregation,
when DR.. Kohler, referring to Saturday,
spoke as follows "The day has lost its
holiness Vith the Jews. 1t cannot be dc.
vine. The Sabbath of the Jews is actually
Sunday. We shall in a time not very far
off adopt the Sunday as our Sabbath. We
transfer all the blessings from the old
historical Sabbath day to the public Sab
bath" Whether kept on Friday, as the
Mohammedans do. Or on Sunday or Satur-
day, it has become Gods sacred messenger.
