The Cape Elizabeth Lights.


The long pending matter as to a change in
ests great many readers of the Post, because
great many Of its readers either go down to
the sea in ships and do business in great
waters" or are owners in shipping of one kind
or another The light house board proposes,
in the interest of economy, we believe, to
remove the two lights nov in use on the Cape
and substitute therefor one large revolving
light. Now perhaps it was well enough for
our amiable chief magistrate to. stop the COM
monwealtt's subscription to the Post on the
ground of economy, for, by SO doug, he has
undeniably cut off SO of the commonwealth
annual expense, without in any way injuring
the commonwealth, because the lawmakers of
the commonwealth, nearly every one OF them,
either take the POST regularly as subscribers,
buy it at some news stand, or borrow it OF some
friend. But we do not believe it will prove
to be economy for the light house board to
NEEDLE with the Cape Elizabeth lights in the
manner proposed, for the reason that on such
meddling might be followed disasters that
would entail the loss of both life aud property.
1t is strange indeed, that the respectable but
pig-headed gentlemen composing this board
should carry their pigheadedness SO far as TO
set up their Judgment against the Judgment OF
nearly every shipowner in New England whose
views are worth anything, of the Portland
board of trade, of the Senators and Congress-
men from Maine, and of ancient mariners
from ports at home and abroad who know well
the dangerous rocks of Cape Elizabeth, and
how difficult il might be to avoid them if the
proposed change were made. The final dec-
sion has not been made, but common decency
would seem to demand that it be rendered
without further delay, and that the light
house board abandon its untenable position.

fully contributed to the progress of
civilization, but Christianity was only
the continuation of the Jewish proph-
cts, and the glory of Christianity and
the glory of Judaism are one. And
now that. these great things are ac-

past, will still serve in the future. 1t
Will serve the true cause, the cause of
liberalism, of the modern spirit
Every Jew is essentially liberal.
The enemies of Judaism, on the con-
trary, are generally enemies of the
modern spirit. The creators of hber-
al dogma in religion are your old
prophets, the Sibylines, the Jewish
school of Alexandria, the first Chris
tians who were continuers of the Jew
ish prophets. These are the true
saunders of the spirit of Justice in
the world, and in serving the modern
spirit the Jew, in reality, only serves
the work to which he has contributed
more than anybody in the past, and
for which he has so much suffered
The true religion which we see in the
future capable of binding together all
humanity, will be the realization of
the religion of Isaiah, the Ideal jew
ish religion freed from all accumula-

From the Boston Budget.

A funny story is told of young
lady who was foolish enough to an
swer a personal" in a daily paper
which stated that a young man was
DESTROYS of making the acquaintance
of young woman, with a view to
matrimOny. She carried on a long
correspondence with the advertiser,
taking, however, the precaution to
have her letters copied by a confden-
tial friend. She always sent the copies
and retained the originals. Her an
swers came regularly, but her CORES
pendent was quite as cautious as she
was herself, for he always employed
typewriter, and she had no means of
becoming familiar with his handwrit-
ing. Finally, after a good deal of
gush q meeting was agreed upon be
tween the pair, and the lady was
somewhat surprised when she arrived
at the place appointed, to see her
brother, wearing in his button-hole
the flower which was decided upon as
the means cf Identification. They
both acknowledged their folly byin
dulging in a hearty laugh, and went
home together, fully resolved to have
nothing further to do with those traps
to catch the unwary. which are called
