ROSH HA-SHAN All.
The Civil New Year of the Hebrews, and
Their Observance of Its Initiation.

This evening the Hebrews will commence
the observance of the beginning of the He
brew month Teshri (September- October),
which is the first month of the new civil year
5,643 and corresponds to the seventh Of the
Mosaic or ecclesiastical. The distinguish ing
feature of the celebration in the synagogues is
the blowing of horns, in accordance with Le-
viticus XIII, "a. 1t commences, as above
stated, at shutdown, and is kept up as one of
the most solemn holidays in the Hebrew cal
endar all the world over. From new year S
day to the day Of atonement are observed by
them as penitential days, and it is rare indeed
to find Hebrew who keeps his place Of bust
ness open either on new year or the day OF
atonement. These days will be observed with
greater solemnity this year than peshaps has
ever been known in San Antonio, for some
time grent preparations have been going on
both in and out of the temple of the
Jews to the end of making the celebration an
impressive one. The history of the Jews is
the most romantic and remarkable In the
world. Far back in the dim antiquity, wher
all the world was covered with idolatry, Abra-
ham, a wealthy nomad, distinguished for his
wisdom, and probaty, began journey toward
the land of Canaan, taking with him his herds,
his servants and his possessions, in which
country his possessions increased with won
derful rapidly. He was succeeded by his Sol.
and by his grandson. The wonderful and
romantic history which took his grandson int
Egypt as slave, and made him viceroy of the
land, is familiar to all, as are the succeeding
events of this miraculous history. 1t is now
nearly 1000 years since Alb. aham emigrated
from Mesopotamia on the east side of The
river Euphrates to that land which is nov
called Palestine, and during all these long
years the Jews have been a distinct and
marked people. Their history has been sue
cession of miracles. They mixed with every
nation, yet mingled with none. They have
been friendly with all, and have affinity for
none.
Divine service will be offered at the TEN
pie Beth Ell this evening at E O'Clock anc
to morrow morning at nine o'clock.
The day of atonemcnt, or Yom ha-Kippu-
rim, begins on the evening of Friday the 22n(

nacles, the Jewish harvest feast, which will be
ushered in on the evening of the 27th inst.

EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT,

THE LIGHT has received a copy of the
Texas Midland Review, neatly printed in
structive paper issued by the passenger depart
ment of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe rail-
way.
In Maine the republicans are divided and
Mr. Blaine's efforts to re-unite them have
proven unavailing, while the greenbackcrs
and democrats with one ticket in the field are
moving on quietly to victory Fort Worth
Gazette.
Yes, so quietly that they can't be heard
from since the returns came in. Maine has
gone republican.
THE Express takes back all it ever said
against tinlay and his "bell-punch 1t now
says Finay is gentleman of commanding
presence and a very able statesman. How
much did it cost, George?
THE Express wants the 2, 900 democrats of
Bexar county to try the experiment Of taking
part in the primaries, and thinks the result
would be beneficial to the party. We can't
see it. The more democrats the worse the
ticket will be. lr it can be confined to Sc
ect few who choose hundred or two bench
men to attend The primaries the ticket will be
more satisfactory to the public.

ItIsNot At All Strange But True.

Anyone may go into that mammoth estab-
lishmcnt of L. Wolfson and never see the pro-
prictOr but this is accounted for by the fact
that Mr.. WOlfson sIpcrntcnds in person all the
different branches of his huge emporium of
every thing that can be desired. Ocular de-
IpOnStrati0n shows that his store is crowded by
purchasers from morning until night, so much
.is Ia make it Il difficult task to get through
the thrOng of the fair ones, that crowd the
fancy dress department and lay in their
stock for fall decorations, of which the
stock is immense in al its intrinsic and delicate
selections In connection with this never
ceasing flow of visitors and customers the little
army oj employees Mr.. Wol!SGn necessarily
needs and who are kept busy, the store resem-
blps great bee hive in which there is nothing
hut hustle and industry. This is eXaggera-
ton. but solid fact; it but shows what the en-
cryy, pluck and business enterprise of one man
can accomplish who means but to win.

Punished for Blasphemy.

A remarkable story comes from Ovid, Mich.
The veracious report says: "Great excitement
in this county prevails over the peculiar pre-
dcament of man here who, disguised with
the rain, which was rotting his wheat, seized
large butcher knife and, rushing into his field,
said he wished he could catch God and cut his
throat for sending so much rain. No sooner
had he uttered these blasphemous words than
he stood rooted to the spot, from which he
has not since moved. Two doctors from Flint
tried to rescue him, but they were frightened
away by the thunder and lightning. The
people of the community round about are all
praying for his delivery, but as yet without
avail.

A Place fer President Tyler's Son.

From II Washington Special.
Mr.. John Tyler, Jr., son of the late Presi-
dent John Tyler, was appointed the other day
as one Of the three commissioners of the treas
ury department TO superintend the destruction
of the cancelled l., uds of the government.
This is position Of hsnor and trust while il
lasts, but will not prove Of much value to the
appOiutee, who is said to be in need of more
permanent employment. MIR. Tyler is gen
tleman OF considerable ability, and has served
as assistant under Attorney Generals Cushing
and Black. besides having acted as private
secretary 10 his father. He is about 6S years
of age. Secretary Folger made the appoint
ment, and will probably see that i, kals 10
something better.

The Marshfeld Gazette is the title
of new paper just started at the
above named village, the first number
of which was printed Saturday, June
Sd. It is a seven column folio, we'll
filled with advertisements representing
the thrift and enterprise of the mer-
chants of Marshfeld. It contains
three columns of local, two of editorial
and eleven of general reading matter.
The first and fourth pages are printed
at home and the second and third at
the publishing house of A. n. Kel-
logg, Chicago. In politics it claims to
be independent, is edited by Messrs.
Deming and |. W. Hanna and pub
lished by the Marshfeld Publishing

Mansfield has business enough to
support two papers will remain to be
seen. The company owning the ca.
zette, we are informed, are Messrs.
A. Z. Deming, L. w Hanna and Dor
chell & Co., al business men Of that
village.

PILES.

Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. At times. symptoms of
indigestion are present, as fatuency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, producing
a very disagreable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed, is
a very common attendant. Internal,
external and itching Piles yield at
once to the application Of DIR. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, alleaving the intense itching,
and efecting a permanent cure where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability, but try
it and be cured. Price, so cents. Ask
your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it of him, we will send it,
prepaid, on receipt of price. Address
