The Passover.

Passover, the first and greatest of the three
annual festivals OF the Hebrews, begins this
evening, the time being regulated by the first
full moon in the spring. The festival was In
stituted by Moses in mmemoration Of the de-
liverance OF the Israelites from Egyptian bond
age, and is celebrated from the 18th TO tho
21et days of the month Nlsan of the Hebrew
calendar, thus occurring In the latter part of
March and the first part of April. Formerly
the first and last days Of the festival were
kept holy and observed by abstaining from
all work, by prayers, thanksgiving, etc, and
during the whole period unleayened bread
was eaten. On the evening OF the 1Ith of
Nisan the Passover lamb was killed by the
head OF the family and the blood sprinkled on
the doorsill in commemoration OF the night
preceding the exodus from Egypt, when the
angel went through the country and slew all
the flrstborn, but passed by the houses of the
Israelites. on account of some uncertainty
with respect TO the fixing OF the new moon by
by the Sanhedrlm at Jerusalem, the Israelites
who lived in foreign countries were ordered
10 celebrate all their festivals on two success
sive days, n regulation still observed by the
orthodox Hebrews. Tho festival is regarded
by liberal or reformed Hebrew congregations
with great reverence, and by all IsraeliteS the
Passover is Observed as a hallowed family
feast.

His Homer said that the law required that u
copy Of all inquest5 should be returned TO tho

the benefit OF all interested parties. He knew
that It had not been done and the law ne
elected, and he directed the clerk 10 enter an
order that In the future the proceedings Of all
inquests should be nled with the clerk OF tho
court.
Later, the Coroner's report was submitted to
the Judge, who said that IL was not signed
ciiher by the Coroner or tho jury OF Inquest,

papers would be found properly signed both
by me Jury sitting ON an inquest and the
Coroner.

He denies that she almost supported him and
his family, and that she has always behaved
as u good and affectionate wife, or that he
treated her in a manner that compelled her to
leave him, but AYERS that in May, 1870 she
then being enciente, sought to produce an abor-
tion upon herself, against his earnest protest,
and during his absence she succeeded In her
undertaking. When he discovered what she
had done he denounced 1t as an act against
God, herself and him, and 1t was because of
this denunciation, and for no other. that she
left him and went to her sister in Kentucky,
where she remained nearly month. He de.
mes that she returned TO live with him upon
his promising to do better, but that it was
upon her solicitation and promise that
he forgaye and again cohablted with her. He
denies having struck her or her being COM
PEELED to leave him in October, 1879, but de-
clares that about that time, being again en-
ctente, she again resorted to cvery means IN
