Exercises NJ the Medical College

The introductory exercises at the Medi-
cal College last night were like those in the
good old times when the institution was
presided over by such men as Drs. John
Cullen, Augustus Warner, Lewis II. Cham
berlayne, Carter =. johnson, James Con-
way, Charles Bell Gibson. and l.. :. Joynes.
In the absence OF the Dean, who was
prevented from being present owing to Sc
rous illness in his family, Professor Nc
Cav opened the exercises OF the evening
with some remarks, in which he called
upon the students to be ready to enter upon
their work with zeal and energy.
Professor Coleman, who had been chosen
TO deliver the Introductory lecture, took
for his subject "The Influence OF Mind on
the Production and Cure OF Disease"
Ii was richly illustrated with anecdotes
from the storehouSc Of medicine and eXpe-
rienccs OF everyday life, and was delivered
in fine, popular style. The Doctor is A
good speaker, and entertained and instruct
ed his hearers most successfully.
The number of students is unprecedent-
ed at so early a period OF the session.
Besides these. the large chemical hall was
filed with friends OF the college, who
eyinced profound interest in the occasion.
The lectures will now proceed regularly,
Professor Wexford meeting the class at IL
O'Clock to-day, and Professor Taylor at is

Two-Cent Letter Stamps.

A RUSH UPON THE P0ST-0fFlCE-FORTY THOU
SAND NEW STAMPS AND ONE HUNDRED AND
TWENTY THOUSAND ENVELOPES SOLD.
The new rate Of domestic letter postage
two cents for each bali ounce or fraction
into effect yesterday morning
at the turn OF II midnight. The new two
and four-cent stamps were on sale at the
stamp window OF the Richmond post-oflice
at an early hour yesterday morning, and
until the close Of business in that division
there was steady demand, amounting at
times almost 70 "a rush" for the bright
and handsome new issues. Everybody
seemed animated with an earnest desire TO
become the possessor OF one or more OF
them, and when at last the wearied clerks
closed tie little window where stamps are
dispensed to the public II was ascertained
that the sales OF ne,o two-cent stamps ag-
gregated 40,0l4. There were sales OF other
denominations, and OF new stamped envel-
opes and postal-cards, but the extent Of the
DAYS business may be gauged by the fact
that the sales Of threecent stamps have
heretofore averaged 5000 day.
Major Caruthers, the assistant postmas-
ter. was also kept busy delivering the new
(" special request" stamped envelopes or
dered by corporations, firms, and indiyld-
uaIs, and paid for in advance. The deliv-
cries Yesterday reached l20,5O0 OF the two
cent denomination. Several thousand re-
main in the Office awaiting claimants, and
about ten thousand more are daily ex-
pected.
A number Of letters with only two cents
in stamps attached were mailed Sunday.
These were held for postage" The first
letter mailed and forwarded at the new
rate was addressed to Mr.. q. W. Hord,
Chicago, Ill. This was prepaid with the
old style two-cent stamp. The first letter
prepaid with the new stamp and sent
through the mail was addressed to Mrs.
Paitie Berry, Petersburg. Va, and the iirst
prepaid with four-cent stamp was ad-
dressed to Mrs. w. T. Higgins, wye Mills,
Md.
A good many three-cent stamps were
used Yesterday In prepayment OF postage.

RICHMOND, October |, 1888.
To the Honorable President and Members
Of the Council:
Gentlemen committee has learned
with pleasure that the next annual meet
Ing Of the American Gaslight Association
will be held in the city OF New York du-
ring the present month. The object OF
this Association is the consideration OF all
questions relating to the construction and
management OF gas-works and the manu-
iacture and distribution OF Illuminating
gas. to the end that its cost may be cheap
encd and its consumption be increased.
The members OF the Association are men
actually engaged in the manufacture OF
gas. and their discussions are eminently
practical. Manufacturers OF articles en-
ployed in making gas or used in the con-
structiOn Of works bring their latest I'M
provements and most recent discoveries to
the attention OF the members OF the AssO-
citation in their annual meetings. IL Is
here that you can most readily gather the
results OF the experience OF the wisest and
most successful gas-men in the country.
All 20 TO learn, and each member is ready
| TO contribute his share to the general stock
OF knowledge.
Believing that it would be greatly to the
advantage OF our city to have some repre-
sentative OF her gas department present at
the meeting to be held this month, we
should be glad il your honorable hody
would take such action rs would secure the
| attendance OF such gentlemen as you may
desire TO represent YOU on that occasion.
On motion OF Mr.. Curtis, Mr.. Higgins
was requested to attend the meeting OF the
Association, and 800 was appropriated TO
deiray his expenses, said amount to be
charged 10 the account OF gas expenses.
Mr.. Higgins read the following for the
information of the Council:

The Hebrew New-Year.

The Hebrew year jGi4 began yesterday
evening, and was uShcred IN with impress
sive services in the synagogues. The New
Year Rosh IIa Shanah), which is also
termed the Feast OF Trumpets because OF
the sounding Of the sbofar or trumpet on
this occasion TO remind the worshippers OF
the approach OF the Day OF Atonement,
has been observed as one OF the principal
holy days since the giving OF the law to
the present day. The day rnlugurates the
sacred year in contradistinction TO the civil
year, which begins on the first day OF Ms
san, two days before the Passover. and
commentaries the exodus OF the Hebrews
from Egypt and their organization as a
nation.
The observance OF the day is founded
on the following commandment: I" In the
seventh month (Tishri), OH the first day OF
the month. .ye shall have holy cOnyoca-
ton: We shall do no servIle work; it Is a
day OF sounding the trumpet unto you"
The observance is by some traced to as
Economical causes, since the Hebrews have
n lunar year, and it is said the birth OF the
new moon was observed most closely in
this month, the seventh month after the
exodus from Egypt. This is an important
holiday among the Hebrews, and the syna-
gogues are largely attended. In addition
TO the usual services, prayers having spe-
cial reference to the day are recited. The
PRAYER offered is Of threefold character.
4 PRAYER OF homage, when the approach OF
the kingdom OF God Is invoked. when all
mankind shall arrive 1t the true knowledge
OF the Creator; that OF remembrance, when
the omniscience OF God Is acknowledged /;
and third, sounding the Shotdr to celebrate
the future jubilee when mankind shall be
free from the fetters OF error and acquire
perfection in the knowledge of God. A
tradition exists that mans deeds are re-
viewed by the Deity on this day, and bis
fate written and sealed on the day OF
Atonement, which day is on tue tenth OF
Tishri
